I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 105 Destiny
It is disrespectful for children to call their father by their first name. Qu Lingxu's words made it clear that he did not treat Qu Liancheng as a father.

Because of Chen's death, Chen Zhongshi hated Qu Liancheng's son-in-law to the core, but he blamed himself more, "All these years, the Xu family has relied on Qu Liancheng's favor to dominate the general's mansion, even if I stay behind closed doors all year round I have heard that even if I don’t go out, I have tried to ask the emperor to make the decision several times, but I was stopped by Xiang’er. She said that it was a trivial matter, and I will let it go. Liancheng's official career will also implicate you, but how can you bear it again and again, but this is the result now..."

Because of his elder brother's early death, the Chen family has always been kind to Chen Xudong, his nephew. Even though he lived a poor life in the general's mansion, he would often send someone to bring something over. Now that he heard Chen Zhongshi's sad words, how could he hold back? Instead of crying, she just sighed sadly: "Xu'er, my cousin is incompetent and can't help you seek revenge from the Xu family, but don't worry, next year will be the imperial examination every three years, and I will definitely get a good grade in the exam and enter the court as an official. I will get back this blood feud from the Xu clan bit by bit!"

For a frail scholar who had read poetry and books since childhood to say such words, it can be seen that Chen Xudong is really angry at Xu's tragic death.In the Chen family, Qu Lingxu felt the long-lost true love, which had nothing to do with fame, fortune, or conspiracy, but just the kind of blood relationship between close relatives who depended on each other.

Qu Lingxu will take back Chen's enmity, she doesn't need Chen Xudong's help, and most importantly, she doesn't want the other party to bear the shackles of hatred from now on, so she said softly: "My mother left suddenly, so I can rest assured. No more grandfather and cousin, but also invite grandfather and cousin to accompany Xu'er to the general's mansion to see mother for the last time."

As for revenge, she alone is enough, she really doesn't need much.

"Xiang'er, she..." The grief in Chen Zhongshi's eyes was about to overflow, but after all, he is a person who has experienced great storms, and his mental firmness is far beyond comparison. Looking at himself, he shook his head with difficulty, and said in a low voice: "Xu'er, you don't have to worry about me. The situation is complicated and complicated. Although it is not difficult to get rid of the Xu family, the Lingwang party is still powerful in the court. After this time, they are afraid that they will treat you as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of it quickly. Although your fate is far better than ordinary people, it is not easy for ordinary people to hurt you, but they must not underestimate the enemy, understand? "

People in ancient times believed in gods, especially the rich and powerful. Whenever a child was born, they would find a fortune teller to calculate the horoscope of the birth date. It was the first time for Qu Lingxu to hear words about his own fate since time travelling, so he inevitably asked curiously, "Grandfather, what is Xu'er's fate, why did mother never mention it?"

"Hey." Chen Zhong supported the chair with trembling hands, got up with difficulty and walked to the window. He looked at the distant sky with teary eyes, and there was an indescribable trace in the originally empty eyes. Sadness, "It was very difficult for your mother to give birth to you. It was so painful for two days and two nights that you still couldn't give birth. It is strange to say that it was only early summer, but there were constant storms. Many houses in Beijing were destroyed. It was flooded, and even the two courtyards of the General's Mansion collapsed. At this time, an eminent monk from a temple in the suburbs of Beijing suddenly came to the General's Mansion and told Qu Liancheng that there was a disaster star in the mansion, and this so-called disaster star was still alive. You in the womb."

A sneer curled up on the corner of Qu Lingxu's lips, and he snorted ironically, "I think my father must have believed it, otherwise he wouldn't have ignored me for so many years."

Hearing this, Chen Zhongshi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "In ordinary times, it would not be so easy to win people's trust. However, with the bad weather in front of us and someone deliberately instigating it, Qu Liancheng actually accepted it." On the advice of that eminent monk, I planned to strangle you in your mother's womb, but thanks to your mother's desperate refusal, and you happened to be born at that time, you saved your life."

"The so-called theory of fate is nothing but strange powers and chaos. Believe it or not." As a famous biologist in the 22nd century, Qu Lingxu's only belief is science. Nonsense.

Qu Lingxu's atheism, of course, would not be believed by Chen Zhongshi, he shook his head lightly, "Fate is permanent, everything has a cause and an effect, I never believe that Xiang'er will give birth to a disaster star that will disturb the wind and rain, Therefore, I deliberately took your birthday horoscope to find the most prestigious master Hongyi for a test, although 15 years have passed, but I still can't forget the expression on the master's face at that time."

"Master Hongyi doesn't think Xu'er is a disaster, does he?" Qu Lingxu smiled lightly, thinking that the theory of destiny is very boring. If everyone can test their fate and change their fate, then there won't be so many grievances and grievances in this world. sad.

"Of course not." Chen Zhongshi looked away slowly, and after confirming that there were only Qu Lingxu and Chen Xudong beside him, he paused word by word: "The mage only said one sentence: The birth of a real dragon will surely turn the clouds upside down."

cough cough...

Qu Lingxu almost choked on his own saliva.

Really dragon?In this way, if she didn't drive the old emperor from the throne, she would be sorry to Jiang Dong's father.

Sure enough, how bold people are and how productive the land is, they are not afraid of not being able to do it, but afraid of not being able to think about it.

Looking at Chen Xudong at the side, the terrified expression was exactly the same as Qu Lingxu's. If Chen Zhongshi's face was not too serious, they would definitely think that the other party couldn't stand the shock of Chen's death and went mad.

Qu Lingxu's reaction was expected by Chen Zhongshi, so he didn't speak directly, but gave the other party enough time to calm down, until the astonishment on Qu Lingxu's face was gradually replaced by doubt, Fang Cai sighed softly and continued: "My reaction at that time was worse than yours. At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne, and the turmoil in the government and the public had just subsided. If this word got out, you would definitely have no chance of surviving. In this way, the General's Mansion and the Emperor's Mansion will also be implicated, but fortunately the mage is willing to help me keep this secret, so that it will not cause disaster."

Although Chen Zhongshi didn't go into details, it was enough for Qu Lingxu to understand. She thought for a while, raised her eyes and said, "That's why my grandfather allowed Xu to secretly spread the news that Xu'er is an ominous person. This will make mother and Xu'er have a very hard life, and they didn't stop it, right?"

Chen Zhongshi was pleased with Qu Lingxu's transparency, nodded lightly and said: "Qu Liancheng has always been mercenary, and he is destined not to spend a lot of energy on a daughter with an unlucky fate. If he doesn't pay attention to you, you won't have many opportunities to appear in the In front of the emperor and all his relatives, otherwise, if you meet some high-ranking person who reveals the secret of your fate, you will be killed."

Through the sparse memory of the original owner, Qu Lingxu naturally knew that Chen Zhongshi loved her. Before that, she wondered how her grandfather, who was the emperor's teacher, didn't use her status to put pressure on Qu Liancheng, so that the other party would be afraid. Dare to be too harsh on their mother and daughter, but now they understand everything after hearing these words.

In order to save the life of his granddaughter, a wise old man has worked hard and meticulously. The so-called good intentions are nothing more than that.

Thinking of this, Qu Lingxu pulled back his skirt, and solemnly knelt down, "Xu'er, thank you grandfather."

"Good boy, get up quickly." Chen Zhongshi leaned over to help Qu Lingxu, his tone full of kindness, "Some things are predestined by God and cannot be changed by manpower. The moment I controlled the plague in the capital by myself, I understood."

Just as Qu Lingxu was about to answer, Chen Xudong, who had just recovered from his astonishment, spoke first, "Grandpa really believes that my cousin has the fate of a real dragon?"

Throughout history, there is only one female emperor, which... this is too incredible.

"It doesn't matter if it's the fate of the real dragon or not. What matters is that the world is in a turbulent time again." Chen Zhongshi was extremely tired. He turned around slowly, and his straight back seemed to be bent in an instant. , he refused Qu Lingxu's support, and only staggered towards the inner room, with unclear words coming from his mouth along with the wind, "Back then, I was the one who was sorry for him."

Qu Lingxu had no way of knowing who Chen Zhongshi was talking about, but he understood that the current emperor must have done a lot of shameful things to get on the throne, and now the world is becoming chaotic, and it is time to When paying off debts.

Seeing that Qu Lingxu was silent, Chen Xudong thought she was worried about what Chen Zhongshi said just now, so he took the initiative to say: "Cousin, don't worry, no fourth person will know these words."

Qu Lingxu has never had any interaction with Chen Xudong, and she doesn't know anything about his character, but she believes in her eyes, and even more believes that the grandson Chen Zhongshi taught will be a person of noble character. It was inexplicably down-to-earth, but instead comforted the other party a few words, telling him not to take it to heart.

Just when Qu Lingxu heard the shocking truth of destiny from Chen Zhongshi, Murong Jing, who was ordered to investigate the hidden guard incident, also appeared in the general's mansion. To be cautious, he went to Fengyi Palace after the court , I told the queen about this matter, and after careful discussion, the two mothers and sons unanimously confirmed that this matter was related to Murong Li, so they put in extra effort in the investigation.

Murong Jing is the heir of the court, so the general's mansion naturally did not dare to neglect anything, because Qu Lingxu had not yet returned to the mansion, and all affairs in the mansion were still managed by the female officer Xiao Shi sent by Concubine Xu, so he respectfully invited Murong Jing Enter the main hall of Jinxiu Pavilion to serve tea.
