Chapter 140 The Contest of Women

Yu Miaomiao looked sideways, and saw that Zhao Man was still tense, without the slightest emotion fluctuation. If it wasn't for the sudden increase in strength from being held by his shoulders, Yu Miaomiao would not have noticed that his mood had changed.

His mother is his only family member, why does he really not care?

No matter how cold he is, he is still a person.

Yu Miaomiao sighed in her heart. For so long, although she has been a well-behaved wife, she has also neglected her duties. He never said anything, and she never asked about it. As for his past, all she knew was the one on the imperial list and the market. those that circulated.

For the first time, she had the idea of ​​wanting to understand him, instead of digging bit by bit.The hand placed by his side unconsciously lifted up, encircling his waist, his fingers grabbed his clothes, and he didn't think about whether this shoulder-to-shoulder posture was in compliance with the rules, and whether many people saw it with.

Zhao Man's eyes lowered slightly, and he met her directly, his gaze shifted, and then turned away leisurely.

Dongli replied: "I haven't heard from the prince for so long, the empress is very worried."

Zhao Man paused and asked, "What does she want you to convey?"

Dong Li pursed her lips and suppressed the bitterness in her heart. In Zhao Man's heart, she was a messenger for Concubine Yu!Every time Zhao Man had a conversation with her, it was this sentence.

Over the years, she has gone to the Northland several times to send messages and deliver things to Zhao Man, and she can see him every year. In that year, she fought against the enemy side by side with him, and together they dealt with the Western Xia ambush, and escaped several times.

She thought that they had experienced life and death together, she should be different to Zhao Man, at least no woman could live and die with Zhao Man like her.

Even if he was indifferent, she still couldn't help approaching, in a way he didn't hate, there was no woman around him, she stood not too close, as long as he turned around, he could see her, Qin Dongli.

Why has she been running back and forth all the time?
Send a letter?Do I need her to go there in person?

give something?What does the jade concubine have for Zhao Man?It was her, Qin Dongli, who was afraid that he would hate him, so she gave him things in the name of Yubi. For so many years, she had prepared a lot of his clothes, shoes and socks, but she hadn't had time to tell Zhao Man.

For a moment of her hesitation, Zhao Man already had someone else in his arms, Dong Li didn't look at Yu Miaomiao, but just glanced away, she felt that Yu Miaomiao was not good enough for Zhao Man at all.

At most, because Zhao Man needs support and needs to gain a foothold in Fangling, he finds a daughter from a certain family for the purpose of marriage.

She doesn't need to worry about it!
Even though he comforted himself in this way, Dongli still felt cold in his heart. Zhao Man who was so indifferent, Zhao Man who was so ruthless, cruel and unfeminine, actually had a woman in his arms at this time.What's even more tragic is that he doesn't even remember her appearance, only remembers that she is a messenger.

Dongli only felt that the news of her adoptive father's death at this time made her even more desperate, and there was a bit of unconcealable sadness in her eyes. She should not go on like this anymore!
Dongli lowered his eyes, quickly suppressed the astringency in his eyes, raised his head again, and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty told the prince not to cause any trouble in Fangling. The empress is already too busy to take care of herself in the palace because she is implicated by the prince's affairs. , have no time to take care of the prince."

As Dongli said, Zhao Man's expression paused, darkness flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared quickly.

Yu Miaomiao's arms around his waist were also tightened, and she only offered silent comfort. If this was the case, she would not like her mother-in-law whom she had never met.

But she was not sure whether what this woman named Dong Li said was true or false.

Yu Miaomiao didn't know Yubi's character, and didn't know the truth of Dongli's message, but Zhao Man knew it.

Dongli's words had long been expected by him, but Dongli's past letters were all about his mother's thoughts and ardent instructions to him. Although he didn't really believe it, he deceived himself and others, and he still felt a little hopeful in his heart. Looking forward, it seems that he really has a mother who cares about him, but she is not good at expressing it in front of him.

It was quite different this time, but it matched the news he got from other sources. His mother was in the palace, and he couldn't have made no arrangements at all. If he didn't, besides making arrangements for Dongli, my uncle also had other arrangements. other people.

Because Yubi was implicated by Zhao Man, her own situation in the palace was even worse, and from Yubi's point of view, her misery in this life was largely caused by Zhao Man, and it was all because of his tough order to restrain her relatives, causing troubles. The official family didn't like it, and it hurt her too.

How can I earnestly ask him, I just hope that he will not cause trouble again, and I will be thankful if I don't hurt her anymore.

Dongli was feeling desolate in his heart at this moment, so naturally he wouldn't help Yubi cover it up.

And at this moment, she wanted Zhao Man to know that she had said all the nice things in the past, and she just borrowed the words of her mother!

The empress does not miss him, she misses him!

The empress didn't make him a pair of shoes and socks, it was all made by Qin Dongli!The empress will only dislike him and force his marriage, but she, Qin Dongli, is not afraid!
Zhao Man didn't say anything, just nodded to show that he understood.

Dongli continued: "The empress learned from Concubine Su Gui that the old troops of the prince are missing. If the prince knows their whereabouts, I hope to pass the news to the empress. Before the officials get the news, these soldiers who escaped After arresting Zhengfa, the empress can live a better life."

As Dongli said, the faces of the soldiers who were staring at them changed slightly.

Although they trust Zhao Man, it is Zhao Man's own mother who said this after all... It is impossible for them to have a better life with the lives of so many of them. The only thing is to make them lose their respect.

Dongli naturally noticed the sudden change in the expressions of these people. Zhou Xiuwu was here, and these farmers with shovels were also physically deformed. As soon as she thought about it, she knew that these people were a small part of those soldiers.

If she would have thought about it before, to eliminate the bad influence that the jade concubine had brought to Zhao Man, but now, she is just a messenger, isn't she?The messenger is to convey the message truthfully.

Dongli withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhao Man fixedly, "Your Majesty just explained this."

She was about to say that since she found out about Zhao Man's disappearance, she had been looking for him outside. She never gave up for a day. She was different from Yubi. Whatever he wanted, she would stand by his side.

But before he could say it, he was interrupted by Zhao Man: "I see, you can leave when the news is delivered."

Whether he will follow through after receiving the message is another matter.He was no longer a child who would do things according to her request in order to please his mother.

Seeing that he answered so coldly, those soldiers quickly looked away, only turning to Li Yi and Zhou Xiuwu who were still fighting.

As for whether Zhao Man is worried that Dongli will leak his news?

If he dared to let her go back, he naturally didn't worry about it. Dongli was his uncle's adopted daughter, who was protecting his mother in the dark, and her uncle still had his back, so she wouldn't and wouldn't dare to betray her.

Although he was disappointed with his mother, he didn't want anything to happen to her. Dong Li's martial arts were not weak, and with her around, he could help his mother a little bit.

Zhao Man said a word, without giving Dongli a chance to speak, she swallowed everything she wanted to say.

As soon as Zhao Man lowered his head and saw Li Miaomiao staring at him, he raised his hand and tapped her forehead. What kind of eyes did this woman have? Why was she looking at him so pitifully? She came... Distressed.

However, knocking and knocking, his heart still warmed up, "Idiot."

Yu Miaomiao arched his body, Zhao Man pinned his head, and lightly reprimanded him, "Stand still."

"Don't stand up."

"Huh?" Zhao Man frowned.

Yu Miaomiao said: "You don't listen to the wrong words, and you still want me to obey? Your mother's words are wrong, you will definitely not follow through, you are my husband, and your tone of voice to me is wrong, otherwise I won't listen Yours, you have to speak softly so that I can stand." Otherwise, she would act as if she wanted to hang on to him.

Yu Miaomiao's words were to tell those soldiers that Zhao Man would never hand them over, and she had seen their expressions just now.

Zhao Man can't say this kind of thing, he can only express it with actions, but she can say it.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard several people laughing sullenly. Although they didn't look this way, their shoulders trembled. It can be seen that they were relieved, and then they saw Zhao Man's joke.

In the dark, no one saw that Zhao Man's ears were slightly red. With so many people watching, this woman challenged him openly. How could he have any face? It's much lighter, if he wants to coax her with soft words, he won't, and will only do it.
