The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

Back in the palace, Queen Mother Xiao withdrew and said she wanted to talk to Duanmu Chen alone.

"What happened to Miss Min today?" Empress Dowager Xiao felt that it was impossible for Duanmu Chen to fall in love with Min Rou at first sight. She knew her son best, and even if he really fell in love with a woman, she would not show it so openly. Instead, she would deliberately cover it up to avoid others discovering his feelings.

Besides, it is true that Min Rou is a beauty, but in terms of talent, appearance and overall bearing, she is far inferior to the two princesses in the harem. Especially Situ Yao, this is the one Duanmu Chen really likes, but due to 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?"

Duanmu Chen nodded, "Don't blame me, Queen Mother. The situation is tense now, and Min Rui and his wife are a little suspicious. This is just a test."

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed slightly, "Why does the Ai family blame you? Since you know what's going on, the Ai family won't ask any more questions. You must pay attention to your safety."

"Don't worry, queen, I will be more careful." Duanmu Chen smiled.

"Go and see the Queen and Concubine Liang when you have time. They are pregnant with a child and they will definitely want to see you." Empress Dowager Xiao is a woman who has experienced this. She does not want her daughter-in-law to experience the grievances she has suffered. An unstable harem is of no benefit to Duanmu Chen.

Duanmu Chen said that he was too busy recently, but he would make time to go there.

As for what happened to Yan Guifei Ji Yuexuan, Empress Dowager Xiao asked her. Duanmu Chen only said that Ji Yuexuan would not become his woman and that this was an agreement he had made with someone. Empress Dowager Xiao thought that "someone" was Ji Yuebai, the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom. Since Duanmu Chen knew what was going on, there was no problem, so she didn't ask.

The imperial decree granting marriage on the first day of March quickly spread throughout the capital. There had been situations where Duanmu Chen did not go to court because of Situ Yao, so the people felt that this time it was just another beauty that the emperor fell in love with, nothing special.

Su Liang learned about what happened at Huguo Temple today from Lao Mu and Ji Xiaoshu, and immediately thought that Duanmu Chen's "accidental encounter" with Min Rou and his crush on her must be Gu Ling's plan.

However, it was Gu Ling's impromptu idea after seeing Min Rou today that he went directly to Duanmu Chen. He returned home but did not see Su Liang, so she did not know about it beforehand.

Ji Xiaoshu complained about Duanmu Chen, "Master is better. I want to be a dedicated man like Master."

Su Liang couldn't help laughing, "That's very good." However, it is not necessarily true that all emperors are romantic. Many times, the emperor needs more women in order to spread the branches and ensure that the royal family has male heirs, and the number cannot be small, so as to avoid the loss of imperial power due to premature death from illness or other reasons.

Duanmu Chen and Ji Yuebai are neither romantic nor sentimental, they are normal, and they can even be considered emperors who are very restrained in their sexual behavior.

However, Ji Xiaoshu had already said that he did not intend to be the emperor, and felt that was not a good thing.

In the afternoon, Cen Man went to Min Mansion again and came back in Gu Ling's place.

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

According to previous speculations, Min Rou's grandfather should be one of the group of people who assassinated Duanmu Chen two days ago, and he was neither dead nor caught. But after the failed assassination, the black mist between Duanmu Chen's eyebrows disappeared, which meant that the group chose to give up, at least temporarily.

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

Su Liang sighed slightly, "Do you think Min Rou and her parents are the same kind of people?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "It doesn't look like that." 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 is definitely a good person, at least there is no evidence that she is a bad person at the moment. .

…

When Duanmu Chen saw Gu Ling appear again, he snorted, "What should we do next?"

Gu Ling's eyes fell on Duanmu Chen's eyebrows, and he said calmly, "That group of people will come to kill you again in order to prevent Min Rou from entering the palace."

Duanmu Chen's face hardened, "Are you sure? Are you saying that Min Rui and his wife are accomplices of the previous assassins?"

Gu Ling nodded, "Probably."

I wasn't very sure at first, but after the marriage decree, the black mist appeared again between Duanmu Chen's eyebrows. It must not be a coincidence.

Duanmu Chen knew that Gu Ling had been spying on Min Rui and his wife these days, so he did not ask how he knew there would be another assassination. He assumed that Gu Ling overheard the couple's plot.

"Then you're coming to guard me again tonight?" Duanmu Chen suddenly laughed, "I prepared food and wine last time, but you didn't come either." After experiencing the last assassination, Duanmu Chen felt reassured about Gu Ling's strength and was not worried. Something will happen next. Because this assassination can be regarded as a trap set by them.

Gu Ling took out something wrapped in cloth from his arms and handed it to Duanmu Chen.

Duanmu Chen didn't know why, so he took it and opened it, and found that it was an iron lump with a strange shape. It 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 heavy." Duanmu Chen asked.

This is a nail gun for Duanmu Chen to defend himself. Gu Ling took it over again and demonstrated how to use it.

"Nails? Were the two assassins knocked down by this thing last time?" Duanmu Chen felt it was 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 was completely immersed in the pillar, penetrated the thick pillar, and came out halfway from the other side.

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

Duanmu Chen looked at the nails that penetrated the pillar, and then looked at the iron knot in his hand, his eyes were completely different, "This is much easier to use than a bow and arrow." It took almost no effort, and the speed was much faster.

Seeing Duanmu Chen's eager eyes, Gu Ling knew what he was thinking. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's difficult to make and can't be used on the battlefield."

Duanmu Chen felt a little regretful, "What a pity, such a powerful weapon. Thank you, it's very useful, I'll accept it with a smile." Although he has many people protecting him, he is afraid that if an enemy comes close, he will need weapons for self-defense. . Duanmu Chen specially practiced archery and his accuracy was pretty good.

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

Duanmu Chen's expression froze, "I want to tell Nuannuan that you are a stingy person."

Gu Ling: ...He was just joking.

But regardless of whether it was a joke or not, it was impossible for Duanmu Chen to return the nail gun to Gu Ling. After putting it away, he asked him, "If you gave me this, will you not come to protect me tonight?"

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

Duanmu Chen immediately felt uneasy, "What if the couple doesn't move tonight but I can't bear it?"

"I'll 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 decided, I believe you."

…

At nightfall, Cen Man returned to Su Mansion, and Gu Ling went to Min Mansion again. The assassination may not take place tonight, and even if it is tonight, Mrs. Min's father may not take action himself. Gu Ling chooses to continue to stare at Mrs. Min. During the day, she said she was going to find Min Rou's grandfather at night.

Over at the palace, Gu Ling asked Lao Mu to watch. Lao Mu was very happy. Since he took on Gu Ling as his apprentice, he has made several new weapons and hidden weapons, but they have never been put to use. He is looking forward to testing the power of the weapons on his enemies.

Cen Man lives in Yuanming Pavilion and protects Su Liang and her three children.

Min Mansion.

Min Rui's family had dinner together, and the atmosphere was very dull.

Although Old Minister Min had never thought that his granddaughter would enter the palace and become his concubine, and he really loved Min Rou, when the imperial edict of marriage was actually issued, he accepted it. He is not only Min Rui's son, but also Min Rou's grandson. He has to take the overall situation into consideration.

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 was not only a wise king, but also treated the queen and his concubines well. The harem was harmonious and there had never been any fights.

Min Rou did not refute what Old Minister Min said, she just listened quietly and said she understood.

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

Min Rou stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon and kept stirring. The soup was still stirring even though it had lost its heat. The sound of spoons and bowls colliding regularly, one after another, made Min Rui and his wife look more and more anxious.

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

Min Rou put down the spoon obediently, looked at Mrs. Min, and sighed, "Mom, if I run away, will my grandfather be implicated? Our family is related to the Duke's Mansion and the Lin family by marriage. If I run away, The emperor won’t do anything to other people in the Min family, right?”

Mrs. Min was stunned for a moment, and Min Rui frowned. It was obvious that the couple had not even considered the possibility mentioned by Min Rou because they had been fighting.

After a while, Min Rui said, "This is a way. You go 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." , if something happens to the Min family, the Qin family and the Lin family will not sit idly by and ignore it."

Min Rou smiled bitterly, "The emperor is so terrible. He can dominate other people's lives with just a few words. I want to go back to the island. Life there is not as lively and prosperous as the life in the capital, but at least it is simple and free. I I’m just worried that it will bring trouble to the Min family.”

Mrs. Min snorted coldly, "Rou'er, you are too kind-hearted. Mom has never seen that anyone in the Min family really cares about you. Why did your cousin marry well? That's because your grandfather gave them the money before they participated in the draft. You have chosen a good husband!”

Min Rou frowned, "Don't say that, mother, no one could have predicted what would happen today. We have only been home for a few days, and it is impossible for my grandfather to marry me off in a hurry. Things have already happened, and the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. As the head of the family, my grandfather has no choice."

"What can't be done? 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 Duanmu Chen didn't want them? Someone stopped them, and they stopped them." Mrs. Min said coldly. .

Min Rou was puzzled, "What are you talking about? What's stopping you?"

"When Duanmu Chen wanted to marry Lin Xueqing as his concubine, Su Liang intervened and asked Duanmu Chen to give up. She and Gu Ling have great reputations. As long as they are willing to say a word about your matter, the imperial edict issued can be withdrawn. Go. But your grandfather is not willing to ask for help for you!" Mrs. Min snorted.

Min Rou frowned, "What else happened? How did mother know?"

"Your eldest uncle and your eldest aunt talked about it behind closed doors. I overheard it. When they mentioned it, they just lamented that the Lin family had a way, but the Min family didn't." Mrs. Min said in an angry tone, "It's not their daughter anyway, so how could she Does it matter how you are doing?"

Min Rou sighed deeply, "Mom, you can't say that. Uncle Lin and Mrs. Gu are masters and apprentices. They have known each other for a long time. The relationship between the Qin family and Mrs. Gu is not ordinary. We owe it to Marquis and Mrs. Gu to treat dad." , It’s not like people owe us, how can we rush to ask for help for such a big matter? "

Mrs. Min said with a gloomy face, "Let's not talk about that. It's okay if you want to leave. I'll go find your grandpa tonight and ask him to take you away, or find other ways to solve the problem."

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

"Don't ask so many questions. Your grandpa has serious business." Mrs. Min shook her head, then looked at Min Rui and said, "But I will never ignore your business."

The room became quiet, and after a while, Min Rou left.

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

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

Gu Ling listened to everything and continued to wait patiently.

As the time approached, the palace was calm and no assassins appeared.

Mrs. Min didn't see her father coming, so she decided to go out and look for him. She put on her night clothes and mask, without lighting a lamp. As she walked out, Min Rui said, "Be careful. If you can't find her, come back as soon as possible."

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

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

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

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

Min Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad is here. He must have missed Qianqian. She went out to find dad because of Rou'er's incident."

He Wei turned to leave, but Min Rui quickly stopped him, "Did you know about Rou'er's marriage?"

"You are all useless, even Rou'er can't protect you." He Wei said coldly, "You should never have been allowed to come here in the first place."

Min Rui sighed, "I also regret coming back. But now it won't help. I wonder what dad is going to do? Should I take Rou'er away first?"

"I'm going to find Qianqian." He Wei left without saying that, instead of going to find Min Rou.

On the other side, Gu Ling followed Mrs. Min to a forest outside the city. Mrs. Min lit the signal smoke, and 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 the second signal smoke.

After waiting for another two-quarters of an hour, someone finally arrived.

Gu Ling held his breath and stared at the black figure flying closer. Judging from the figure, he was quite similar to the old man in gray he had seen before.

Mrs. Min breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the person coming, "Dad!"

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

"That's because we missed it. I'm really afraid that dad has left or just didn't see the signal I sent." Mrs. Min grabbed He Wei and said, "Do you know about Rou'er? Please think of a solution quickly."

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

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

"I still have some business to do, and I will meet you after that. If you don't leave, there may be some troubles next." He Wei said, "Why do you care what Min Rui does?"

Mrs. Min explained, "Rou'er doesn't know many things. If Min Rui lives or dies, I'm afraid Rou'er won't be able to accept it. After all, he is her biological father."

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

Mrs. Min hesitated for a moment, then Min Rui threatened her and asked her to kill Mr. Qin, which led to all the following things being revealed.

He Wei was angry when he heard the words, "Idiot! What time has it been, and there is still trouble! Min Rui can't stay, you go first, I will deal with him!"

Mrs. Min sighed deeply, "Now that things have happened..."

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

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

When Gu Ling, who was hiding in the dark, heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold as ice!

But I heard He Wei say, "Don't worry so much."

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

However, after a moment of 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. He went straight to Min Rou's yard, took the antidote and lit a powerful smoke in her room. Min Rou 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 her 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, she felt the air was a bit stuffy when she entered the door, but there was no unusual smell. She quickly went to the bed, opened the bed curtain, patted Min Rou's quilt, "Rou'er, wake up!"

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

When Mrs. Min tried to pull Min Rou up, she fell weakly on the bed. She realized something was wrong but 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 awake. Her daughter was sleeping soundly in a cradle not far away. She was reading a book under the lamp, waiting for news from Gu Ling. There may be an assassination in the palace tonight, and there may be a fight in the Min Mansion. The "bait" carefully laid out in recent days should pay off.

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

"How did you capture the mother and daughter?" Su Liang was surprised. As agreed, the most important thing is to collect information and avoid alerting the enemy.

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

Su Liang's eyes lit up, "So, the mother and daughter were about to disappear, so the group won't notice that they are related to us for the time being?"

Gu Ling nodded, "Min Rui would only think that his father-in-law asked his wife to leave with Min Rou." This is the reason why Mrs. Min went to see Min Rui but did not take her luggage. She wanted Min Rui to think that she was also attracted by her. Dad lied and left because he couldn't help himself.

After these several surveillances, it can be determined that Mrs. Min knows many secrets of that force. Min Rou didn't know much, but she at least knew where her original home was, which was the location of the island. And this is very important to Su Liang and Gu Ling.

Su Liang grabbed Gu Ling's collar, pulled him to lower his head, and kissed him, "The master's ability to adapt to changes is unrivaled. Leave it to me to interrogate them next!"
