Chapter 892: There is no way to avoid it
If it weren't for hearing Lu Ming's next sentence, the military advisor would definitely think that Lu Ming was united with him. But people don't mean that.
"You have a lot of sense, but I still think it's just right for the emperor to succeed to the throne."
Seeing Lu Ming's righteous expression, the military advisor only felt like a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, unable to cough it out and swallow it, and felt uncomfortable: "Why do you support Her Royal Highness the Imperial Daughter, she is just a little girl." After all these years, I haven't heard of any merits in him. Can a little girl who is protected by her mother compare with His Royal Highness the Prince, who is mature and sophisticated? Anyone with a discerning eye can see who is more secure. β
Lu Ming nodded: "In this way, it is indeed more suitable to be a prince, but you don't know Your Majesty's personality, since she has designated the emperor to succeed to the throne, it means that the emperor has advantages that the prince can't matchββ"
Before Lu Ming's words could be finished, he was interrupted by the military advisor dissatisfied: "You are gambling, do you want to drag tens of thousands of people in Meng Liguo with you?"
The military advisor is worthy of being a military officer, and no one can compare to Lu Ming's understanding, and the two easy sentences have already poked at his sore spot.
"Tell me the real reason."
Lu Ming's face showed a little helplessness, he sighed and said: "This little selfishness, I really can't hide it from you, okay, I'll confess."
It turned out that the reason why General Lu Ming stood on Feng Changqi's side was because he had a relationship with His Royal Highness the Imperial Daughter.
"At the beginning of this year, you should remember when I entered Beijing, right? It was at that time that I met Her Royal Highness the Imperial Lady in Beijing, and my first impression at that time was that she was very similar to His Majesty, and I knew at a glance that it was the kind of mother and daughter. Lu Ming pressed the corner of his forehead that was faintly painful, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his lips, "Off topic, cough cough, the point is not this." β
Lu Ming entered Beijing alone, and there were no attendants around him, because he had not returned to Beijing for many years, and the changes in Kyoto were extraordinarily large, so he got lost, and finally Feng Changqi helped lead the way.
"That's it?" The military advisor's eyes widened, suspecting that he had misheard, "You ...... just because of this little favor."
Lu Ming was not affected by his words at all, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips: "I didn't leave immediately, she should have been standing there waiting for someone at the time, and she didn't leave, I saw her in the distance and save the life of a little ghost from under the horse's hooves regardless of her own safety, so I changed my opinion of her."
Risking one's own safety to save a stranger who has never met before, this kind of thing is not necessarily something that even ordinary people can do, let alone a prince with a noble status. But even if this is the case, it can't be a reason to support Feng Changqi, which is too hasty.
"Her character is really good, but sitting in that position depends on more than just character......"
Lu Ming's expression was calm, and he had obviously already thought of a way to convince the military advisor: "Have you forgotten Your Highness's master, our national teacher who is above 10,000 people under Meng Liguo?"
The military advisor suddenly realized: "You are even considered to be a national teacher?"
"Of course, although the national teacher and His Royal Highness have not yet officially made a marriage contract, who in Meng Liguo does not know that they are in love? When the struggle for power really begins, the national teacher will definitely be on His Highness's side. The ability of the national teacher, you must have heard of some of it. β
The military advisor touched his chin: "That's true."
The two were talking in the tent when they heard the voices of their subordinates outside.
"General, there are people outside the camp asking to see you."
Who would come to the barracks to ask for a meeting at such a time? Lu Ming asked the subordinate who reported the news with doubts: "What is the identity of that person, can you ask carefully?"
The subordinate replied that the other party's surname was Yu and he was from the capital.
Lu Ming and the military advisor glanced at each other, and they both saw the true dedication in each other's eyes. The surname is Yu, from the capital, and he came to Broken Leaf City during this special period, saying that the other party has no plans at all, and no one dares to believe Lu Ming immediately ordered his subordinates to invite that one in.
The military advisor looked out thoughtfully, and bumped Lu Ming with his elbow: "General, you have even seen Her Royal Highness the Imperial Daughter in the capital, you must have also seen the national teacher, right?"
Lu Ming didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
After a short while, the subordinate led two people to hurry over. Both of them are young men, one of them is Yu Wuwang, who impressed Lu Ming a lot, but he didn't expect it to be him.
Lu Ming stepped forward quickly: "Humble greetings to meet ......"
Before Lu Ming finished speaking, Yu Wuwang had already waved his hand: "General Lu doesn't need to be polite, I came to the camp specially to tell you something."
It is rumored that Yu Wuwang's personality is as calm as a pine and cypress, and Taishan collapses in front of him without changing color, but now, his handsome face shows nervousness, and it is obvious that the thing he wants to say is very important. Lu Ming also became nervous: "Please also ask the national teacher to speak up."
Yu Wuwang's eyes turned around in the tent, although he didn't speak, Lu Ming already understood what he meant.
"The national teacher can rest assured, the brothers here are all credible people, and today's events will never be revealed for half a word, and the national teacher has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Since Lu Ming had promised it like this, Yu Wuwang no longer had any scruples, and in the surprised eyes of Lu Ming and the military advisor, he said everything he knew, and only said that these two people were frowning.
I didn't expect that such a magical method of disguise would really appear in the world!
The military advisor's eyes lit up with excitement, but Lu Ming looked calm: "How can the national teacher prove that what he says is the truth, not a lie?"
"I have proof." On the way here, Yu Wuwang guessed all kinds of possibilities, and in order to win the trust of others, Yu Wuwang prepared all kinds of statements and evidence in advance, which now came in handy. As he spoke, he took out two items from his sleeve, one was the token that Qingxiu brought when he left the palace, and the other was a letter written by Bai Huan himself, these two items were enough to prove everything about him.
"Let me see!" The military advisor snatched the letterhead.
It just so happened that there was a handwritten letter from Bai Huan in the tent, which was written to encourage the soldiers before, and now it can be put in handy. The military advisor exchanged the handwriting on the top of the test, and finally came to the conclusion in surprise: "General, these two letters do belong to the same person."
In this case, the words that Yu Wuwang said could be believed.
He deliberately came to this northwest border pass Broken Leaf City, just to let Lu Ming stand on his side, and when the war really started, he would send troops together, as Meng Liguo's general, Lu Ming also felt that he had an obligation to do so. However, before he could promise that Jade was hopeless, he had to figure out one thing first, so as not to be used as a sword.
"Where is Her Royal Highness?"
Yu Wuwang was not surprised at all that Lu Ming would ask such a one, on the contrary, it was abnormal for him not to ask.
"Qi'er, she is very full now, people should be near the capital, and after I get everything done here, I will look for her over there."
The Imperial Palace of the Liang Kingdom, in the Imperial Study.
A letter was slowly handed to Bai Qingyu through Shen Ming's hand, and the latter raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing with this letter?"
Shen Ming's expression was complicated: "This is the news of Queen Meng Liguo, not long after it was sent to the palace."
Bai Qingyu immediately understood, no wonder Shen Ming suddenly invited himself to the palace, there must be some terrible news written in this letter. She took the letter, but did not open it immediately, because a possibility suddenly came to mind in her heart: "Is Queen Meng Liguo ......?"
"Yes." Shen Ming is such a smart person, she understood what she meant before she finished speaking.
Bai Qingyu's brows tightened more and more, and the envelope in his hand was slowly opened.
There are not many words on the letter, only one or two short lines, but the content can shock the world, Queen Meng Liguo died of illness in the palace a few days ago!
Bai Qingyu lowered his eyes half-lowered, and let out a sigh in his mouth: "After all, I still can't escape."
On the night when Bai Qingyu saw Feng Changqi and his party in the dense forest, she watched the sky at night to see a certain trend. Bai Huanhui fell one day not long after, and it was precisely for this reason that Bai Qingyu chose to leave the dense forest to help Feng Changqi look for medicine, and in the end, in order to make the water in the wood bloom, she even did not hesitate to cultivate flowers with blood...... As it turned out, there was no way to escape that fate.
"It's really unavoidable......" Bai Qingyu sighed.
Shen Ming didn't understand the meaning of her words, but he didn't ask more: "I will do what I promised you, and when the domestic situation in Liang is clear, I will send troops."
In Qingping Palace, a dormitory palace, a beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament is sitting at the table, staring directly at a bowl of steaming decoction on the table, her eyes are not blinking, as if she is thinking about something.
The palace maid who was standing aside and waiting reminded in a low voice: "Princess Niangniang, you should drink the medicine, if you don't drink it, I'm afraid this bowl of medicine will become cold!"
The princess agreed sullenly, and picked up the decoction in both hands.
Her delicate and pale face, as well as her dazed eyes, were reflected on the water, and the words that Bai Qingyu had told me involuntarily appeared in her mind.
"One of the medicines I have prescribed you is unusual, it can unravel the poison in your body, and you can drink it for ten days in a row. But before I do that, I must give you a word of advice, your memories are not good, and remembering them only adds to the pain. Even so, do you have to remember? β
At that time, the princess's answer was a categorical nod, whether the memory is good or not, it is a part of life, and she is willing to bear it. But when it came to this day, she suddenly began to hesitate.
She held the soup bowl, and her eyes slowly turned to the palace maid: "You have been following me for several years, right?"
The palace maid looked surprised, she didn't expect the princess to suddenly ask such a question, but she still replied: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the slave maid has been serving the mother for nearly six years."
"It's been so long," the princess became more and more interested in this little palace maid, "then what kind ......of person do you think I am?" β
