I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 198 Accompanying the Emperor
The butler's words just confirmed Qu Lingxu's guess, yes, Qu Liancheng is back.

As for Qu Liancheng, although his personality is a bit headstrong, he has won so many battles, so he still has some abilities. On that day, under the protection of his loyal subordinates, he desperately broke through the siege. After many twists and turns, he finally got rid of Honglian. He taught the chasing soldiers to chase and kill him, but he was also seriously injured. He hid in a cave for many days to recuperate before recovering some spirits, and escaped from Jiangling in disguise.

Although there is no danger to his life for the time being, Qu Liancheng is very clear in his heart that the emperor will not easily expose the defeat of the entire army's annihilation. The real life-and-death crisis is far from coming.

As I said before, after repeated entanglement and careful analysis, Qu Liancheng finally gave up his plan to live in seclusion in the mountains and decided to go to Beijing to plead guilty.However, Chen Xiucheng gave full play to his character advantage of "cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots" and sent a large number of people to search everywhere, which meant that he would never stop unless he caught Qu Liancheng. Going to Tibet, it took more than half a month to escape to the area north of Qinhuai, snatched a fast horse from the cargo caravan, and quickly headed north.

As for why not turn to the government for help?

joke!

In the eyes of everyone, he is a commander who has failed to lead the army and whose whereabouts are unknown. He is like a plague in the eyes of everyone. He is afraid that he will not be able to avoid it, not to mention the dangerous officialdom. If he went to Beijing to meet the emperor, then he would lose even his last chance of life.

Did not abscond?
What evidence is there?

Qu Liancheng is not a fool, so he would rather suffer more than to gamble with his wealth and life to be evil.

It seems that my so-called father is not stupid, but I don't know what he wants to use me for?A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Qu Lingxu's lips, but he didn't say anything. He only walked towards the study under the guidance of the housekeeper.

The study is located in the main courtyard where Qu Liancheng lives. Due to being unfavorable, Qu Lingxu has almost never had the chance to step into the main courtyard in the past 15 years, let alone a place with a strong sense of ceremony like the study. However, Qu Fengyan would often go into the study with prepared snacks, grind ink and spread paper for Qu Liancheng, enjoying the family happiness of a loving father and daughter.

I just don't know what Qu Fengyan is going to do at this moment?

While thinking quickly, people had already entered the main courtyard, and when they came outside the study, the housekeeper bowed to Qu Lingxu and said respectfully: "Miss, please wait here for a while, the slave will report to the master."

After Qu Lingxu nodded, the butler knocked on the door and entered the study, and came out again after a while, cupping his hands and saying, "Miss, Master invites you in."

"Understood." Qu Lingxu smiled slightly, walked up the stairs slowly, pushed open the half-hidden door and stepped into the study, and sure enough, he saw Qu Liancheng sitting at the table, looking like that, he should have been waiting for him for a while.

After more than two months of training, Qu Liancheng is obviously much older. His neat black hair is not only grayer, but also protruding a lot. He can't eat and sleep peacefully for a long time. It was covered with deep bruises, and both eyes were sunken deeply into the eye sockets, and even the usual aura of calmness and prestige was gone.

In short, the current Qu Liancheng does not look like a mighty general who dominates the battlefield, but looks like a dejected little old man.

The dignified general of the country, I'm afraid I never dreamed that such a day would come.

Qu Liancheng didn't like Qu Lingxu's daughter very much at first, but now that she came late in men's clothes, his face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "How decent is it for a girl to show her face outside at will? You are so unruly when you are not in the mansion."

Before Feng Yan mentioned that Qu Lingxu disguised herself as a man and went out to play with Rong Sheng, he was dubious, but now it seems that this girl is really rough and used to it, she doesn't even look like a noble girl from a family.

Qu Lingxu was not annoyed when Qu Liancheng opened his mouth to reprimand him. Of course, he didn't show a trace of shame. He just said indifferently: "Father has not been in the capital for a long time, and he may have forgotten the date. Today is the Biwen Conference. Rong Sheng Feng Zhongyong Mrs. Hou ordered her to pick up her daughter to compete with her, and her daughter was lucky enough to get No.1, which is not considered a disgrace to the lintel of the General's Mansion."

Qu Liancheng was not from a family of meritorious service, so with his loss of power in the court, the status of the General Zhenguo's Mansion has long since fallen. I still don't know what the situation is.

But logically speaking, when Qu Liancheng returned to the capital, he should immediately go to the palace to plead guilty to the emperor. Even if he had to go back to the mansion to pack and change clothes, it shouldn't take too much time. Why did he wait for him in the study for so long?
It doesn't seem right.

Although Qu Liancheng was not a civil servant, he was not so inexperienced that he didn't even know what the Biwen Conference was. Hearing that Qu Lingxu had won No.1, his eyes flashed with unconcealable astonishment, and he said indifferently : "Women are docile and respectful. It's the business to be a husband and a child. Compared with men, there is nothing to be criticized." Saying this, he glanced at Qu Lingxu expressionlessly, and continued: "You are now He is also going to leave the pavilion, these days he will embroider the dowry with Feng Yan, don't go out if you have nothing to do."

Out of court?

Qu Lingxu keenly grasped the point, raised her brow slightly, and asked with a half-smile, "Father should know that mother is still in the new mourning period. How can my daughter leave the cabinet at this time?"

His first wife died unjustly. As a husband, he didn't ask a word. His daughter lost her mother when she was young. As a father, he didn't have a word of comfort and pity. Instead, he only wanted to exchange his marriage for greater benefits for him. Such a man ……hehe.

Her heart twitched suddenly, and Qu Lingxu knew that it was not her own feeling, but the instinct of this body. It was the deepest disappointment and heartache of a dead daughter for this selfish and cold-blooded father in front of her.

Seeing Qu Lingxu looking at him faintly, Qu Liancheng only felt that he was being seen through like a transparent person. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, so he could only try his best to suppress his guilty conscience, and said in a slow tone: "Xu'er, your mother My father was also shocked and angry about the matter, but the dead are gone, and the living must continue to live. Your mother cares about you most in this life. You marry a good man, and she can only feel comfort under the nine springs .”

It's obviously for self-interest, but the words are so high-sounding.Qu Lingxu kept sneering in his heart, but asked calmly on his face, "Which son does father want his daughter to marry?"

Now even the queen would not dare to think about her marriage for a while, but this scumbag father in front of him is thinking about it first, really... I don't know what to say.

Seeing Qu Lingxu's initiative to ask, Qu Liancheng thought she had acquiesced in what he said just now, his eyes relaxed, and his tone eased two points, "You are the daughter of a dignified general, how can you betrothed to an ordinary son? To accompany the emperor and the emperor."

Accompany the emperor?

Originally thought that this scumbag wanted to marry Murong Jing as a side concubine in order to win Murong Jing's help, but he didn't expect that he would send himself to the palace!

Who in the world doesn't know that the current emperor is greedy for women and has many pets. When a woman enters the palace, she either dies alone or is murdered by other women, and ends up dying.For this reason, those officials who really cared about their daughters were willing to risk being punished and bought girls of the right age to pretend to be their own daughters in the palace draft, but Qu Liancheng actually wanted to send himself to that shameful deep palace with his own hands!
She is really a good father!

Regarding Qu Liancheng, Qu Lingxu had accumulated too much resentment in his heart, but because the other party was the original owner's biological father, he only pointed the finger at Xu's mother and daughter, and did not do anything to Qu Liancheng, but Now, since the other party doesn't care about her so-called daughter at all, there is no need for her to show any father-daughter affection.

If you dare to manipulate her marriage, you must be prepared to bear her anger!
"Father means that you want your daughter to enter the palace to accompany Sheng Jia?" After a brief moment of anger, Qu Lingxu gradually calmed down, only raised his head, and met Qu Liancheng's eyes.

The reason why Qu Liancheng did not speak directly to the emperor, but "discussed" with Qu Lingxu first, was because he knew that this daughter had a stubborn personality. Xu didn't object as excitedly as she imagined, only when she was also attracted by the splendor and wealth in the palace, she nodded with a light smile and said: "Counting the time, in half a month, there will be a new round of top female college students." It's time to choose. The reason why you were not on the list of showgirls before was because my father thought you were too dull, and you would suffer a lot if you entered the palace. Now that you have no such worries, you naturally want to participate in the draft. .”

From Qu Liancheng's point of view, the current balance in the emperor's heart is clearly in favor of the king of the mausoleum, Murongli. Qu Fengyan has become the imperial concubine of the king of the mausoleum. The position is still unknown, Qu Lingxu is thoughtful, if she is by the emperor's side, naturally he doesn't have to worry about any disasters befalling him.

Hearing Qu Liancheng's brazen words, Qu Lingxu still didn't show any extra emotions, just picked a chair at random and sat down, and said lightly: "It's not too long since my father left the capital. I don’t even remember the rules, the list of women participating in the draft was reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for record a month ago, even if my daughter is willing to follow your advice to participate in the election, it’s too late now.”

Since Qu Liancheng brought up this matter, he must have a perfect plan. She wants to see what "good idea" the other party has come up with.
