doctor wife three marriages

Chapter 394
Back in the palace, Empress Dowager Xiao withdrew her servants and said she wanted to talk to Duanmuchen alone.

"What happened to Miss Min's family today?" Empress Dowager Xiao felt that it was impossible for Duanmu Chen to fall in love with Min Rou at first sight.She knows her son best, even if she really likes a certain woman, she will not show it so bluntly, but will deliberately cover it up to avoid being discovered by others.

Besides, Min Rou is indeed a beauty, but in terms of talent, appearance and demeanor, she is far inferior to the two concubines who were born as princesses in the harem.Especially Situ Yao, who Duanmu Chen really likes, but because of their positions, their relationship has never been pure.

Duanmu Chen confessed, "There is indeed another purpose."

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned, "You knew Min Rou would go to Huguo Temple, so you went there specifically?"

Duanmuchen nodded, "Don't blame the queen mother. The situation is tense now, and the Min Rui couple is a little suspicious. This is just a test."

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed slightly, "Why does the Ai family blame you? Since you know it well, the Ai family will not ask any more questions. You must pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, queen mother, I will be more careful." Duanmuchen smiled.

"I have time to visit the Empress and Concubine Liang, they are pregnant with their children, and they definitely want to see you." Empress Dowager Xiao is someone who has been there before, and she is also a woman. She does not want her daughter-in-law to experience the bitterness of grievances she has suffered.An unstable harem is not good for Duanmuchen.

Duanmuchen said that he is too busy recently, but he will find time to pass.

As for Yan Guifei Ji Yuexuan, Empress Dowager Xiao asked about it, Duanmuchen only said that Ji Yuexuan would not become his woman, this was what he had negotiated with someone.Empress Dowager Xiao thought that "someone" was the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, Ji Yuebai. Since Duanmuchen knew that there was no problem, she didn't ask.

The imperial decree on the first day of March quickly spread throughout the capital.There was a situation before that Duanmuchen did not go to court because of Situ Yao, so the common people felt that this time it was just that the emperor fell in love with another beauty, nothing special.

Su Liang learned about what happened at Huguo Temple today from Lao Mu and Ji Xiaoshu, and immediately thought that Duanmuchen's "meeting" with Min Rou and falling in love with her must be Gu Ling's plan.

But this was Gu Ling's impromptu idea after meeting Min Rou today, and went directly to Duan Muchen, but she didn't see Su Liang when she returned home, so she didn't know about it beforehand.

Ji Xiaoshu complained about Duanmu Chen, "Master is better. I want to be like Master and be a single-minded man."

Su Liang couldn't help laughing, "It's so good." However, it's not always true that emperors are romantic.In many cases, the emperor needs more women. The purpose is to spread the branches and leaves, to ensure that the royal family has male heirs, and the number should not be small, so as to avoid the root being cut off due to premature death or death from other reasons, and the imperial power will fall.

Duanmuchen and Ji Yuebai are neither coquettish nor sentimental, which is normal, and they can even be regarded as emperors who are very restrained towards women.

But Ji Xiaoshu said earlier that he doesn't plan to be emperor in the future, and he thinks that is not a good thing.

In the afternoon, Cen Man went to the Min Mansion again, and Gu Ling came back instead.

Su Liang made some food for Gu Ling, watched him eat, and talked about Min Rou, "If Min Rou's grandfather is really in the capital, and he really loves her, and doesn't want her to marry into the palace, the easiest way The best way is to kill Duanmu Chen within three days."

According to previous speculation, Min Rou's grandfather should be one of the group who assassinated Duanmu Chen two days ago, and he did not die or be arrested.But after the failed assassination, the black mist between Duanmu Chen's brows disappeared, which meant that the group chose to give up, at least temporarily.

Gu Ling nodded, "I'll go into the palace to have a look later." See if the black mist appeared between Duanmu Chen's brows again.

Su Liang sighed slightly, "Do you think Min Rou is the same kind of person as her parents?"

Gu Ling shook her head, "It doesn't look like it is." The shady things that Min Rui and his wife did secretly were all behind Min Rou's back. Although this does not mean that Min Rou must be a good person, at least there is no evidence that she is a bad person at the moment. .

……

Seeing Gu Ling reappearing, Duanmuchen snorted softly, "What should we do next?"

Gu Ling's eyes fell on Duanmu Chen's eyebrows, and she said calmly, "In order to prevent Min Rou from entering the palace, those people will come to kill you again."

Duanmu Chen's expression froze, "Are you sure? You mean, Min Rui and his wife are accomplices of the previous assassins?"

Gu Ling nodded, "It should be."

It was not very certain at first, but after the marriage decree, the black mist appeared between Duanmuchen's brows again, it must not be a coincidence.

Duanmuchen knew that Gu Ling had been monitoring Min Rui and his wife for the past few days, so he didn't ask him how he knew there would be another assassination. He defaulted that Gu Ling had overheard the couple's plot.

"Then you come to guard me again tonight?" Duanmuchen suddenly smiled, "I prepared food and drinks last time, but you didn't come." Having experienced the last assassination, Duanmuchen was very relieved of Guling's strength and was not worried Something will happen next.Because this assassination can be regarded as a game they set up.

Gu Ling took out a cloth bag from her bosom and handed it to Duanmu Chen.

Duanmuchen didn't know, so he took it and opened it, and found that it was a strangely shaped iron lump, which didn't look like a weapon at all, and he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Is it a hidden weapon? It's too big and too heavy." Duanmu Chen asked.

This is a nail gun, for Duanmuchen's self-defense.Gu Ling took it again and demonstrated how to use it.

"Nails? Last time those two assassins were knocked down by this thing?" Duanmu Chen felt amazing. After listening to Gu Ling's explanation carefully, he took the nail gun in his hand, pointed it at a pillar, and pulled the trigger. .

The next moment, a sharp nail completely sank into the pillar, pierced through the thick pillar, and went halfway out from the other side.

The wood of this pillar is very strong, which shows how powerful it is. If the target is human flesh and blood, as long as the aim is accurate enough, the enemy can be killed instantly.

Duanmuchen looked at the nail piercing through the pillar, and when he looked at the iron lump in his hand, his eyes were completely different, "This is much easier to use than a bow and arrow." It requires almost no effort, and the speed is much faster.

Seeing Duanmuchen's eager eyes, Gu Ling knew what he was thinking, shook her head slightly and said, "It's very difficult to make, and there is no way to use it on the battlefield."

Duanmuchen felt a little regretful, "It's a pity, such a powerful weapon. Thank you, it is very useful, and I will accept it." Although he has many people to protect him, he is afraid that if an enemy gets close, he also needs a self-defense weapon. .Duanmuchen has specially practiced archery, and his accuracy is not bad.

"Just lend it to the emperor." Gu Ling said.

Duanmu Chen's face froze, "I want to tell Nuan Nuan that you are a cheapskate."

Gu Ling: ...he was just joking.

But whether it was a joke or not, it was impossible for Duanmuchen to return the nail gun to Gu Ling. After putting it away, he asked him, "If you give me this, is it possible that you won't come to protect me tonight?"

Gu Ling nodded, "I want to keep an eye on Min Rui and his wife."

Duanmuchen immediately felt uneasy, "What if the couple doesn't move tonight, but I can't stand it?"

"I invite Master to come over." Gu Ling said.

"Your master may not be stronger than you." Duanmu Chen shook his head, "But since you have made up your mind, I believe you."

……

At nightfall, Cen Man returned to Su Mansion, and Gu Ling went to Min Mansion again.The assassination may not be tonight, even if it is tonight, Mrs. Min's father may not do it himself, Gu Ling chose to continue to stare at Mrs. Min.She said during the day that she was going to find Min Rou's grandfather at night.

On the other side of the palace, Gu Ling asked Lao Mu to watch over.Lao Mu was very happy. Since taking Gu Ling as his apprentice, he has made several new weapons and hidden weapons, but they have never been used. He looks forward to testing the power of weapons on the enemy.

Cen Man lives in Yuanming Pavilion, protecting Su Liang and the three children.

Min Mansion.

The dinner was eaten by Min Rui's family of three, and the atmosphere was very dull.

Although Old Master Min never thought that his granddaughter would enter the palace as a concubine, and he really loved Min Rou, but when the marriage decree was really issued, he accepted it.He is not only Min Rui's son, but also Min Rou's grandson, so he has to take care of the overall situation.

Old Minister Min talked to Min Rou, and hoped that she would not regard entering the palace as a bad thing, because the current emperor Duanmu Chen is not only a wise king, but also treats the queen and concubines well. The harem is harmonious and there has never been any fights.

Min Rou didn't refute Old Shangshu Min's words, she just listened quietly and said she understood.

At this moment, there are only Min Rui and his wife and Min Rou in the room.

Min Rou stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, kept stirring, the soup was still stirring when it lost all heat.The sound of spoons colliding with bowls rang out regularly, one after another, making Min Rui and his wife even more anxious.

Madam Min frowned, "Rou'er, put down the spoon if you don't want to drink the soup."

Min Rou obediently let go of the spoon, looked at Mrs. Min, and sighed, "Mother, if I run away, will my grandfather be implicated? Our family is related to the Duke's Mansion and the Lin family. I ran away. The emperor wouldn't do anything to the rest of the Min family, would he?"

Mrs. Min froze for a moment, and Min Rui frowned.Because the couple had been fighting, they didn't even think about the possibility that Min Rou said.

After a while, Min Rui said, "This is also a way. You go to find your grandfather, it is safe to be with him. The emperor will not do anything to the Min family because of this. As you said, your cousin married well. , something really happened to the Min family, the Qin family and the Lin family will not sit idly by."

Min Rou smiled wryly, "The emperor is really scary. He can control other people's lives with just a word. I want to go back to the island. The life there is not as lively as in the capital, but at least it is simple and free. I I'm just worried that it will bring disaster to the Min family."

Mrs. Min snorted coldly, "Rou'er, you are just too kind-hearted. Mother doesn't see that anyone in the Min family really cares about you. Why is your cousin married so well? That's because your grandfather gave them money before they were going to participate in the draft. Pick a good husband and son-in-law!"

Min Rou frowned, "Mother, don't say that, no one could have predicted what will happen today. We have only been home for a few days, and it is impossible for my grandfather to marry me in a hurry. Things have already happened, and the emperor's order is hard to break." , as the head of the family, grandfather has no choice."

"What can't be helped? Look at the Qin family, look at the Lin family, why didn't Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing enter the palace as concubines? Do you think Duanmuchen doesn't want them? Someone stopped them, and stopped them." Mrs. Min said coldly .

Min Rou was puzzled, "What are you talking about? What stopped you?"

"Back then Duanmuchen wanted to marry Lin Xueqing as his side concubine, but Su Liang stepped forward to make Duanmuchen give up. She and Gulingling's husband and wife have a lot of face. As long as they are willing to say something about your matter, the imperial decree issued can be taken back Go. But your grandfather doesn't want to beg for you!" Mrs. Min snorted coldly.

Min Rou frowned, "Has this happened before? How did Mother know?"

"Your uncle told your uncle behind closed doors. I overheard it. They mentioned it, just lamenting that the Lin family has a way, but the Min family doesn't." Mrs. Min's tone was not angry, "It's not their daughter anyway, how could it be?" Do you care if you are doing well?"

Min Rou sighed deeply, "Mother can't say that. Uncle Lin and Mrs. Gu are mentors and apprentices, and they have known each other for a long time, and the relationship between the Qin family and Mrs. Gu is not normal. Gu Hou and Mrs. Gu's medical treatment is what we owe to others , it’s not that they owe us, how can we rush to ask for help because of such a big matter?”

Mrs. Min's face was gloomy, "I won't talk about that. It's fine if you want to leave. I'll go find your grandfather tonight and ask him to take you away as soon as possible, or find another way to solve it."

"Grandpa... is he also in the capital?" Min Rou was surprised, "When did grandpa come?"

"Don't ask so many questions, your grandfather is here for business." Mrs. Min shook her head, then looked at Min Rui and said, "But I will definitely not ignore your business."

The room fell silent, and after a while, Min Rou left.

Min Rui asked Mrs. Min, "Do you know where your father is?"

Mrs. Min said coldly, "Don't worry about it. Even if I don't look for it, my father will definitely come."

Gu Ling listened to everything and continued to wait patiently.

When approaching Zishi, the palace was calm and there were no assassins.

But Mrs. Min didn't see her father coming, so she decided to go out and look for it.She changed into night clothes, put on a mask, and did not turn on the lamp. When she walked out, Min Rui said, "Be careful, if you can't find it, come back as soon as possible."

Mrs. Min only responded with a soft hum.When she left the room, Gu Ling followed silently.

But what Gu Ling didn't know was that someone appeared in Min Rui's room after he followed Mrs. Min away from Min's house for a quarter of an hour.

"Who?" Min Rui held the knife under the pillow.

"Where's Qianqian?" an old voice asked.It was Mrs. Min's father, He Wei, and Mrs. Min's name was He Qianqian.

Min Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "Daddy is here, so I must have missed it with Qianqian. She went out to look for Daddy because of Rou'er."

He Wei turned to leave, but Min Rui hurriedly called him back, "Did you know about Rou'er being married?"

"You are all useless, even Rou'er can't protect you." He Wei said coldly, "You shouldn't have come here in the first place."

Min Rui sighed, "I also regret coming back. But saying these things is useless now, I don't know what Dad plans to do? Should I take Rou'er away first?"

"I'm going to find Qianqian." He Wei left after saying that, and didn't go to Min Rou.

On the other side, Gu Ling followed Mrs. Min to a forest outside the city. Mrs. Min lit the signal smoke, a wisp of red smoke rose into the night sky, and was quickly blown away by the wind.

After two quarters of an hour, no one showed up, and Mrs. Min lit a second signal smoke.

After waiting another quarter of an hour, someone finally came.

Gu Ling held her breath and focused her attention, looking at the black figure that was flying towards him. Looking at the figure, it was quite similar to the gray-clothed old man he had seen before.

Mrs. Min let out a long sigh of relief when she saw the person coming, "Father!"

He Wei said, "I just went to Min's house."

"That's why we missed it. I'm really afraid that Dad left or didn't see the signal I sent." Mrs. Min held He Wei, "Does Dad know about Rou'er? Think of a way."

He Wei nodded, "Take Rou'er away. Just leave tonight, don't stay here."

Mrs. Min was stunned, "I'll take Rou'er away...What about father? Where's Min Rui?"

"I still have work to do, and I'll meet you when I'm done. If you don't leave, maybe there will be troubles in the future." He Wei said, "Why do you care about Min Rui?"

Mrs. Min explained, "Rou'er doesn't know many things. If she doesn't care about Min Rui's life or death, I'm afraid Rou'er won't accept it. After all, it's her own father."

"Then tell Rou'er that Min Rui's illness is not cured, and he needs to stay for treatment. He is under the protection of the Min family, and he will be fine." He Wei said.

Mrs. Min hesitated for a while, and threatened Min Rui to kill Mr. Qin, which led to all the latter things being said.

He Weiwen's words were filled with anger, "Idiot! What time is it, what's wrong with it! Min Rui can't stay anymore, you go first, I will deal with him!"

Mrs. Min sighed deeply, "It's come to this..."

He Wei interrupted, with an impatient tone, "Stop talking nonsense! Take Rou'er away before Gu Ling and Su Liang are watching!"

"What is father going to do next? Kill Su Liang?" Mrs. Min asked.

Gu Ling, who was hiding in the dark, heard the words, her eyes were as cold as ice!

But He Wei said, "Don't worry about it so much."

The father and daughter are about to separate, and Gu Ling is hesitating whether to continue to follow Mrs. Min or He Wei.He Wei is a more critical figure, but also more difficult, whether it is to catch or kill him or to pry his mouth open, it is very difficult.

However, after a moment's consideration, Gu Ling chose to continue staring at Mrs. Min. As things changed, he had a new plan.

Gu Ling was faster than Mrs. Min, and returned to Min Shangshu's mansion first, went straight to Min Rou's yard, took the antidote, and lit a powerful smoke in her room.Min Rou in her sleep fell into a deeper sleep.

Mrs. Min saw Min Rui again, and said that her father had something to do tonight, and asked her to send Min Rou outside the city, and someone would pick him up.

Min Rui didn't think too much, and watched Mrs. Min go out again.

When Mrs. Min came to Min Rou's room secretly, the air felt a little stuffy when she entered the door, but there was no unusual smell.She quickly went to the bed, lifted the bed curtain, and patted Min Rou's quilt, "Rou'er, wake up!"

Min Rou didn't respond, but Mrs. Min felt dizzy.

When Mrs. Min wanted to pull Min Rou up, she fell on the bed limply, and realized something was wrong, but she was unable to get out.

Before losing consciousness, Mrs. Min vaguely saw Gu Ling appearing not far away...

……

In the middle of the night, Su Liang was still up.The daughter was sleeping soundly in a cradle not far away, reading a book under the lamp, waiting for news from Gu Ling.There may be assassinations in the palace tonight, and there may be fights in the Min Mansion. The "bait" that has been carefully laid out recently should pay off.

Lao Mu didn't come back, Gu Ling came back first.

"Why did you bring their mother and daughter back?" Su Liang was surprised.Agreed, the most important thing is to collect information, to avoid alerting the enemy.

Gu Ling explained that Mrs. Min had agreed with her father that she would secretly leave the capital with Min Rou tonight.

Su Liang's eyes lit up, "So, the mother and daughter are going to disappear, and those people won't realize that it's related to us?"

Gu Ling nodded, "Min Rui will only think that his father-in-law asked his wife to go with Min Rou." This is the reason why Mrs. Min went to see Min Rui but didn't take her luggage, she wanted to make Min Rui think that she was also taken by her Dad lied to him, so he left involuntarily, to prevent Min Rui from becoming angry and doing irrational things.

After several times of monitoring, it can be confirmed that Mrs. Min knows many secrets of that force.Min Rou doesn't know much, but at least she knows where her original home is, that is, the location of the island.And this is very important to Su Liang and Gu Ling.

Su Liang grabbed Gu Ling by the collar, pulled him to bow his head, leaned forward and kissed him, "The master's adaptability is invincible in the world. How to interrogate them next, leave it to me!"
