The villa fell into the night, and the news of the visitor did not alarm anyone, only Qiao Jue received the visitor.
"I dare not let him enter Yangzhou." Qiao Jue said, "I can only wait for you to come back and make up your mind."
"Do my parents know?" You Miao hurried into the garden, Qiao Jue followed behind, and replied, "Besides you and me and Guangwu, no one knows."
Listening to the small bamboo courtyard, You Miao stopped, and in front of the bamboo forest stood a tall man, watching the fish, he was a dog warrior.
Seeing You Miao approaching, the Quan Rong person bowed and saluted, put his left hand on his right shoulder, raised it horizontally, turned his palm over, palm facing down, gave You Miao a slow give way, and finally put it on his chest. You Miao's heart was awe-inspiring, and she returned the salute with the same etiquette. He knew that this was the etiquette of the Quanrong people to meet the royal family, and he also expressed his allegiance.
"I'm getting a fish, His Highness Sanado sent me to deliver the letter." The Quan Rong introduced himself, took out another letter, a jade pendant, and handed it to You Miao.
You Miao opened the letter without raising her head and asked, "How is the situation in the clan?"
"Dalek's move was unanimously opposed by the whole clan. The clan believed that it was inappropriate to have enmity with Apocalypse, and the voices of opposition were increasing day by day, like wildfires silently burning on the grasslands. Daleko suppressed all the opponents with tough actions. "Yu Huo explained: "Prince Gegen was expected to attack Emperor Tianqi in Montenegro, but due to an unexpected plan, the trip failed."
"What's the accident?" You Miao asked, unfolding the letter, and was stunned for a moment.
There are only eight words on the stationery: the third child is critically ill, and he will get out early.
"It's impossible..." You Miao murmured, "What should I do? This is bad."
Yu Huowei bowed slightly, and Youmiao tried his best to calm down: "How is your condition?"
Yu Huo said: "The fever is high and unconscious."
You Miao took a deep breath and shivered uncontrollably. If Zhao Chao died of illness in the north, all his plans would be over... What should I do
You Miao did not expect that Zhao Chao was so ill. He was flustered, and the crisis of the Northern Expedition was in his mind. This matter, he could not find someone to discuss it for a while. If the news leaked out, the consequences would be unimaginable. Qiao Jue saw You Miao's absence and comforted: "Miaozi, don't panic, calm down first and think of a way."
"What can I do?" You Miao muttered.
He looked up at Yu Huo and met his sharp eyes, but for a moment, Yu Huo's expression disappeared. You Miao said, "Are you in the Quan Rong clan now, or are you following Sanado?"
"His Royal Highness sent me and a few brothers to stay in the clan." Yu Huo replied: "The body of General Nie was brought out by them."
You Miao said: "You stay in the villa first, and I will reply to you after I think about it."
"Please as soon as possible." The fish replied.
You Miao clenched the letter in her hand and left the garden. Qiao Jue followed behind and asked, "What about Rong'er?"
"I'll go back to the palace right now." You Miao said, "Don't let anyone touch the fish."
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Qiao Jue nodded and prepared his horse to send You Miao back to Yangzhou.
Youmiao got on his horse and ran around, and finally arrived at Maocheng at midnight. After galloping for a day, he went back and forth between the two places. He hardly had anything to eat. He was almost dizzy. , When he came outside the East Palace, he saw Qiao Rong sitting under the moon, embroidering a flower on Zhao Chao's shirt.
"Didn't sleep?" You Miao asked.
Qiao Rong raised her head and said, "I can't sleep, the weather changes in autumn, and I can't sleep well. What's wrong?"
You Miao sat down beside Qiao Rong, feeling overwhelmed for a while, her nose was sore, she stretched out her hand and hugged Qiao Rong.
"What's the matter?" Qiao Rong smiled softly: "Why is Uncle Guo free to see our mother and wife?"
Qiao Rong touched her lower abdomen, but that sentence was addressed to the child in her belly.
The two siblings sat side by side and looked at the moon. The fifteenth day of the seventh month was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" You Miao smiled.
Qiao Rong smiled and said, "Do you want a little nephew, or a nephew's daughter?"
You Miao sighed, "I like both."
Qiao Rong said: "Always kicking me. Mostly it's a mischievous boy who likes to mischief. My nephew is like an uncle. If I can be as beautiful as you and my uncle, I'll be happy."
"It's not bad to look like the third brother." You Miao said lightly: "He looks like a talent."
Qiao Rong nodded, looked at You Miao's face, and asked: "Today, the people in the political affairs hall said that you went back to the villa after lunch, and now you are running into the palace in the middle of the night. Let's talk about what's going on, news from the front line?"
You Miao was silent and looked at Qiao Rong. He originally wanted to have a closer look with Qiao Rong. What would they do if Zhao Chao died on the front line.
Once the monarch of a country dies and the news spreads back to the south, it must be controlled at least four months later, until Qiao Rong gives birth. If she can give birth to a boy, she will be established as the crown prince, and the queen mother will come to the court to supervise the government, participate in political affairs and assist the government... If Qiao Rong gave birth to a daughter, so she had no choice but to set up a blood descendant of the Zhao family and give up the throne.
Next, You Family will also lose power. In order not to be implicated, they have to take Qiao Rong and fly away to dismiss the villa.
As for Li Zhifeng on the front line... When You Miao heard the news, her only thought was that no matter what the situation was, she had to stabilize the entire court. Even if Zhao Chao died of illness, he decided not to publicize it. You must immediately find someone to disguise as an emperor and continue the northern expedition.
Let Li Zhifeng command the army of the Southern Dynasty, fight the last battle, defeat the Tartars in the name of the emperor, and then return...
The complicated matter, at this moment, You Miao didn't know how to speak for a while.
Qiao Rong was still looking at You Miao with worry and anxiety in her eyes.
"Is Daleko very difficult to deal with?" Qiao Rong said.
"Yes." You Miao nodded and said, "It was originally designed by the eldest brother himself, which disintegrated the alliance between Tartar and Quanrong."
Although several months have passed, when you mention Nie Dan, You Miao's heart still aches. He looked at Qiao Rong with guilt, knowing that Qiao Rong must not be feeling well.
"Tell me about your eldest brother." Qiao Rong said, "You have been hiding it from me these days. In fact, my sister is very open. When he met your eldest brother, he also said that he had killed too many people in his life. One day, there will be…”
"He killed a lot of people." You Miao murmured, "He saved more people."
You Miao explained their affairs in the north in detail, Qiao Rong was surprised to hear it, You Miao smiled, and talked about how Nie Dan had been undercover for three years, and how to find out about Sikhland's plans.
"Is Daleko unaware of all this?" Qiao Rong asked.
You Miao replied: "Sikelans sent a letter to him, but the messenger was killed by the elder brother on the way..."
Speaking of this, You Miao didn't know why, but the look of the dog's messenger suddenly flashed in his mind.
Those eyes were fleeting, and You Miao suddenly realized another question: What if the fish catch is not true? He came with Li Zhifeng's token and handwritten letter, and even had a jade pendant, so logically there would be no fakes. However... You Miao's heart was beating wildly, she stood up and said, "I'll go back first and think of something."
"Wait." Qiao Rong said, "I made ginseng soup in the evening, and I was about to bring it to you. Drink it and then leave."
You Miao stood still, but suddenly changed her mind and said, "Okay, where is the third brother's letter storage, you can show me."
Qiao Rong was a little surprised, but she didn't ask any further. She took You Miao to the main hall and opened a box containing all the letters that Zhao Chao had stored. You Miao opened it and saw that most of the letters inside were handwritten letters from Zhao Chao, with dense handwriting.
"Your third brother wrote it to me before." Qiao Rong smiled and said, "Why?"
You Miao shook her head and glanced at it. She saw what Zhao Chao and Qiao Rong were talking about. Most of the letter was talking about You Miao herself. I found a letter from Li Zhifeng.
The palace servant brought the ginseng soup, Qiao Rong scooped it out for You Miao herself, and You Miao drank it while comparing Li Zhifeng's handwriting.
really…
You Miao took a long sigh and found the word "Chou". He knew that Li Zhifeng was left-handed and his writing was different from others. There were obvious differences in this word.
But Qiao Rong saw the forged letter, and her expression changed instantly.
"Fake." You Miao said, "Don't worry!"
Qiao Rong nodded with lingering fears. You Miao packed up the letters and quickly went through the whole incident in her mind. Who sent Yu Huo? What is the plot? Is it muddying the water and causing civil unrest? It's not that simple... Since the messenger of Li Zhifeng's faction was killed halfway, the enemy must be the faction of Daleko and Gegen.
Daleko sent someone to inform You Miao that Zhao Chao was about to die. What are the plans
You Miao vaguely felt that Daleko must have some conspiracy, but he couldn't get into it.
"Tell me about General Tang Hui." You Miao said outside.
