Green tea sick beauty after whitening

In this regard, Guo Shoutang really didn't mean to wrong Qu Changshou on purpose, but he really didn't pay attention at the beginning.

After Qu Chang negative and Jing Qianjiang talked, he couldn't help but take the note over, looked it up again, and found that it was really like this.

"So, this..."

He already vaguely understood what was going on, but the words that followed were a bit embarrassing, which made him not want to continue.

Xue Guang interjected: "His Royal Highness King Jing and Qu Yushi mean that the words on this note were written by someone according to Qu Yushi's words?"

He also came to his senses: "So this is indeed Qu Yushi's handwriting, but it is because of the need to find suitable characters in different places when copying, which caused this situation."

Jing Qianjiang said: "Xue Shangshu is really clear-headed and just as an official."

Guo Shoutang: "..."

Jing Qianjiang threw the note towards him, and the light note filled his inner strength, and it flew into Guo Shoutang's arms as if it had weight.

"The other kings are not sure, but the words 'Zhi, Lu, Yuan, Ding, You...', etc., I can roughly recognize that they were copied from the annotations of Qu Yushi's book. I will say where they come from." , go check it out."

Qu Changxiang has a habit of making comments in the blank space next to him when he is reading a book. He writes whatever he likes. Jing Qianjiang has been with him for so many years, so he naturally understands it very well.

He used to like reading Qu Changying's old books very much, reading those annotations, as if someone was sitting in front of him chatting and laughing, after Qu Changying passed away, he couldn't leave the book, almost every word and every word was branded in his heart.

When he came to the prime minister's mansion in this life, he also borrowed Qu Chang's many books to read according to the old habit, and some of the characters were firmly memorized in his mind.

Jing Qianjiang just said that he is a "calligraphy master", although he is deliberately trying to insult Guo Shoutang, but if he is said to be a master who recognizes Qu Chang's calligraphy, he definitely lives up to his name.

At this time, Jing Qianjiang told the source of the characters, and even Qu Changcheng himself could not remember them, and the others were even more surprised, but after checking what he said, it really matched.

Qu Zhang negative said indifferently: "I'm really sorry, I made everyone laugh, this is a traitor in the Qu family."

When he spoke, the person watching was Qu Xiao.

Xue Guang thought just now that Qu Changshou, a young man with a high heart and a high agility, should have a limitless future. The only regret is that his temperament is too sharp and does not conform to the Confucian principles.

But when the case was found here, and he heard something in Qu Chang's negative words, he couldn't help but realize that Qu Chang's negative side would be the one to react that way, and he might have seen something wrong with the note long ago.

He even suspected that all this had something to do with his biological father, Qu Xiao.

——It seems that even if the Qu family is not prosperous, there are still many unknown situations in the middle.

The old man sighed in his heart, and said: "It seems that there is something wrong with this matter, and further investigation is needed. We misunderstood Lord Qu just now, and I am really ashamed."

Qu Chang said: "Master Xue is only performing his duties, the subordinates should cooperate, please don't blame yourself."

He paused, and said: "But Mr. Guo's accusation just now...won't you apologize to me?"

Guo Shoutang's complexion was a bit ugly, but he had to lower his head, cupped his hands, and said stiffly: "Qu Yushi, I'm sorry."

Qu Zhang smiled and said, "If you're not sincere, let's forget it."

Guo Shoutang: "..."

Forget it, he has already apologized!

Qu Chang took another look at Qu Xiao, Qu Xiao avoided his son's gaze, and said calmly, "Why, should I apologize to you as a father?"

"My son doesn't dare." Qu Chang negative lowered his head and said slowly, "The so-called 'son never speaks of father's mistakes', no matter what my father does or how he treats me, I should bear it."

At this point, although there are many doubtful points, the following interrogation can no longer proceed.

Since they are so familiar with Qu Changnegative's handwriting, the forger of the note should come from the Qu family, and the Xiangfu will have to be checked again, and the rest of them will temporarily leave the Ministry of Punishment.

Once out of the gate, Qu Chang negative and Qu Xiao turned their backs to each other and went in opposite directions.

Qu Changlu didn't take the carriage, he waved at the groom and his followers, signaling them not to follow, and then walked along the road to the other side of the embankment alone.

Today, the wind is cold and windy, but the sun is very good. The weather is clear like a tourmaline, and the tall trees on the river bank are covered with snow, like a pine tree.

Jing Qianjiang followed him for a while, and suddenly grabbed Qu Chang's wrist.

Qu Changlu stopped walking and said: "The air in the criminal department is not good. I want to relax. If you want to be together, don't always follow half a step behind. There are footsteps behind me, so I always have a feeling that I will be assassinated."

He stopped for a while, and then took another look at Jing Qianjiang: "There is no need to say words of comfort, this matter is unnecessary."

Jing Qianjiang laughed and said: "I haven't done anything yet, so you don't allow this or that."

Qu Changlu raised his hand, caught a snowflake falling in the wind, and said casually, "That's right, I've always had a lot of rules here."

After hearing what he said, Jing Qianjiang smiled instead, took a step forward, stretched out his arms, and hugged Qu Chang's shoulders.

He put his hands on Qu Chang's thin back, hugged him heavily, and then let go, saying: "But you didn't say you won't let me hug you, I'll hug you, how about you?"

Qu Chang negatively glanced at him, but said nothing.

He stood quietly for a moment with his hands behind his back, and then said: "Actually, I should thank you today. What you said made me feel good."

Jing Qianjiang felt that Qu Changlu was very similar to a little white cat raised by some concubine in the palace.

Usually arrogant and indifferent, and a bit lazy, even if you go up to tease with delicious food, you won't look at you more, and when you are unhappy, you will come up to give people two paws.

But if you get the fur right, you'll find that this little thing is actually soft and warm, and it's fluffy all over, and it doesn't feel prickly at all, it almost melts your heart.

He sighed softly and asked, "Have you always gotten along with Qu Xiang like this?"

In fact, he just wanted to start the topic later, and he felt that he had said something nonsense, but he didn't expect Qu Changsheng to say: "No."

Jing Qianjiang was startled: "Huh?"

Qu Chang said: "Actually, when I was young, I was only slightly weaker than children of the same age, but I was not as ill as I was later. My parents took good care of me, and they brought me up together. "

He took a few steps along the embankment, and the ice below was shining brightly in the sun.

"Two lifetimes have passed by now, but I can still think of many things from my childhood. My mother was afraid that I would get hurt and forbade me to ride a horse, but my father quietly hugged me and galloped on the horse. We were choked by the wind and laughed together again. He also carried me on his shoulders to watch the temple fair, and said with a smile, 'Daddy raised you up so that you can grow into a big man later'..."

Qu Zhang negative looked at the river: "But I don't know when, his official duties have become more and more busy, and he has less and less time to go home, and I have gradually become bedridden, so...cough cough...then alienated .”

Jing Qianjiang saw that Qu Zhang was coughing, and patted him on the back.

Qu Chang negative waved his hand and said: "It's okay. Actually, at that time, I wondered if he felt ashamed and disappointed when he saw the son he had placed high hopes on gradually growing into a useless person. So I studied and practiced martial arts. I don't want to be left behind. It wasn't until I was left behind by him in the chaos that year that I realized that this relationship between father and son will never come back after all."

He heaved a long sigh.

Jing Qianjiang wanted to say something, but Qu Changlu changed the subject: "Whoever abandons me can't keep the day of yesterday! There are all kinds of things in the world, but when you let go of the cliff, it turns into nothingness in an instant. Bad things are indeed regrettable, but they can't Always keep it in your heart, let it become a scar and a weakness."

"To this day, Prime Minister Qu can affect my mood, but it only makes me feel temporarily unhappy."

Qu Chang negative turned his head, looked at Jing Qianjiang and said, "People always hate unhappiness and look forward to happiness, that's why I want to thank you today."

It is really rare and precious to hear such heartfelt words from Qu Changlu's mouth, but when you think about it carefully, he has always spoken calmly, with a clear distinction between likes and dislikes.

Jing Qianjiang's heart skipped a beat, and he said after a while: "Then I'm different from you. I haven't seen my father since I was a child. I can only rely on other people's descriptions of him to imagine, because his identity and meritorious deeds are there. so everyone speaks well of him."

Qu Chang said: "Since being praised by others, it's not just because of meritorious service or status."

Jing Qianjiang said: "Maybe, but I have always wanted to see him with my own eyes, because without it, there would be no pain, but those cherished happy moments in the past are hard to experience in my life. Just like...you."

Qu Chang raised his eyebrows, and Jing Qianjiang smiled and said: "You once asked me why I like you, and you obviously didn't treat me well at all. In fact, if I didn't know you, I might have saved a lot of pain, but if I didn't Knowing you, I'm afraid I won't experience much joy in my life."

"Even if it happens ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, even if there is only a trace of happiness in the pain, I still want to know you."

Qu Chang said: "Then... if you don't mind, it's not impossible to call me daddy."

Jing Qianjiang: "...Sorry, I still mind this."

——Even if you don't mind calling me dad, you still mind incest.

Both of them laughed.

After a series of things fermented, the small note with forged Qu Chang negative handwriting has become a physical evidence more important than the golden ten thousand taels.

On the bright side, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple once again sent people to the Qu Mansion for a thorough investigation, and many people were secretly sent to watch over them. Under such circumstances, the suspects were quickly arrested.

He turned out to be Cao Xian, Qu Xiao's follower.

Cao Xian, who entered the Qu residence shortly after Qu Xiao got married, became his attendant.Over the years, he has worked hard and risked his life, earning Qu Xiao's trust.

In the prime minister's mansion, even masters like Princess Qingchang and Qu Changlu would not be too contemptuous or embarrassing when they met him.

No one expected that he would actually do such a thing, and thinking about Qu Chang's negative attitude before, it was even more unavoidable to make people suspect that there was Qu Xiao's instigation behind it.

But the Qu family did not have the problem of competing for the title, and Qu Xiao only had two legitimate sons, and the youngest son was not yet an adult, so it would be too early to get rid of the elder brother to pave the way for him.

No matter from the point of view of utilitarianism or affection, Qu Chang's development is not harmful to Qu Xiao at all.

If this matter was really done by him, the motive is hard to understand.

But after repeated interrogations, Cao Xian only admitted that he did the whole thing alone.

"Many years ago, when my new wife was selling vegetables in the market, she accidentally blocked a group of soldiers rushing to transport food out of the city, and was trampled to death by galloping horses. After her death, I don't want to feel emotional , also left his homeland, and later became the master's attendant."

Cao Xian had a sad face, and murmured: "I have been in the Qu family for so many years, I have been loyal, and the master has been very kind to me, so there is nothing unwilling, but recently the young master is in charge of the military rations, I, I see those people every day. When people come and go in the house, they start thinking..."

Xue Guang asked: "Among the people who came to look for Qu Yushi, are there any enemies from your past?"

Cao Xian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I haven't even seen my wife for the last time before she passed away. What's more, she was trampled to death by wild horses. How can I identify the enemy? I just wanted to kill them all for a while. , to appease the anger in my heart.”

When Cao Xian was being tried, Qu Xiao, Qu Chang, Jing Qianjiang and others were also listening. Jing Qianjiang heard this and said, "Your wife must have been dead for at least 20 years?"

Cao Xiandao: "Yes, it has been more than 20 years."

Jing Qianjiang said: "Before that, for more than 20 years, you had no anger in your heart, or you had never seen soldiers transporting food? Now that you have been born, the emotions that have been suppressed for a long time suddenly exploded? You can't bear it all at once, so kill some People vent vent?"

Every word he said was sharp, but it really made people want to laugh.

Xue Guang couldn't help but turned slightly sideways, covered his lips with his sleeve and pretended to cough a few times, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness..."

Cao Xian smiled wryly: "That's not true, it's just that I'm a cowardly person. I've lived in this world for so many years. Although I miss my dead wife, I dare not avenge her."

He hesitated for a while: "Until I got sick a few days ago, the doctor in the hospital said it couldn't be cured, and I had a few months to live at most, so I didn't feel reconciled."

Everyone was stunned, even Qu Xiao showed surprise on his face, obviously he didn't know that such a thing happened.

Xue Guangdao: "Come here, let's check for him."

They invited a doctor to check his pulse, and found out from the results that Cao Xian was really terminally ill.

According to his account, the note was prepared a long time ago, and he wrote many copies imitating Qu Changnegative's handwriting and tone. He was just waiting for an opportunity to sell people in the army and try to kill some soldiers who were transporting food. It can also be regarded as doing something for his wife before his death.

In Cao Xian's residence, the notes he mentioned were found.

In this way, it was reasonable and reasonable, and the suspicion on Qu Xiao was almost cleared away.

But his previous behavior of disregarding Qu Chang's responsibility was very embarrassing.

If Qu Changlu was really convicted, others could still say that Qu Xiao was just and strict, and killed his relatives righteously, but now Qu Changlu was innocent at all, and the fault was on the people around Qu Xiao, so it would seem that he was very cold.

This incident turned the undercurrent between the father and son into a rift on the surface. The rift had already arisen and there was no room for change.

Cao Xian was immediately imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

He was just leading others to go the wrong way and die. As for the origin and purpose of those Nanrong people who used drugs to confuse the army, they still need to be investigated.

But even so, Cao Xian's crime is unforgivable.

Two days later, Qu Xiao went to the prison to visit this old servant who had always been loyal to him.

Cao Xian was imprisoned in a separate death row, but his expression was very calm - anyway, he didn't have many days to live, maybe he wouldn't live to the day when he was asked to be executed.

The cell boss who came in with Qu Xiao graciously arranged the food and wine brought from the prime minister's mansion for them, and after receiving Qu Xiao's reward, he happily went out with Xiao Huan, only the master and servant remained.

Qu Xiao sat down at the table, seeing Cao Xian still standing by the side, he couldn't help but think that he has been following and serving him so respectfully all these years.

He said: "You can sit down too, there is no need to be formal."

Cao Xian sat down and said with a guilty face: "Master, it's the servant who caused you trouble. I'm afraid that after this time, the young master will have feelings for you."

Qu Xiao was not angry: "Since you know it, why do you still do it?"

His voice was low and his speech speed gradually slowed down: "Really... Is it to avenge your wife?"

When Qu Xiao said this, Cao Xian smiled instead.

He said: "Master, in fact, when you just came here, the servant was a little surprised. Because the servant has made his own decisions this time, and things have been reckless, and reasoning is not worthy of the master coming here to visit in person. It turns out that the master has doubts about what the slave said. It's like your style to ask clearly."

Qu Xiao nodded and said: "You have been with me for many years, and you have always understood my thoughts best. Tell me why you did this."

Cao Xian smiled wryly and said: "In front of you, this slave has nothing to hide. The matter of avenging his dead wife is a fact, but choosing to use the young master's hand to complete it... is indeed a thought of this slave."

Qu Xiao said: "Really?"

Cao Xian said in a low voice: "Half of the time I was hit by your servant, I was with you. I have no other relatives. Before I die, the most worrying thing is that I can no longer be loyal to you. But you are too My heart has softened, I know that the young master is not your flesh and blood, but I hold back this tone, and I can't be cruel all the time."

Qu Xiao's eyes turned cold.

Cao Xian said earnestly: "Master, haven't you thought about it? Why is Eldest Young Master's illness so serious, it's fine to just say it's over, and why is his style so tough since his condition improved?"

"Some things back then, his life experience... Could he know something? Even if he doesn't know, can it be guaranteed that he will never know in the future?"

Qu Xiao shouted: "You talk too much!"

Cao Xiandao: "I can't say much about it. I have held back this for a long time. Master, you loved him because you thought he was your eldest son. As a father for the first time, it is inevitable that you value him. But now there is a second young master in the family. This is the true blood of the Qu family."

His tone was low and serious: "Young master is becoming more and more powerful, you must not keep him anymore! Otherwise, you will have endless troubles... You have to think about it carefully. The villain has been loyal to you for half a lifetime, and now he is about to die. His words are also good!"

Qu Xiao didn't speak for a long time.

Afterwards, he still didn't make a clear decision, he only said: "I know it well, you should eat some food and wine, and spend this last journey peacefully in prison."
