Chapter 109 Qingqing, something happened
Meng Qingcheng asked me to think carefully about my marriage with Chu Lin, and I agreed, but before I could come to a conclusion, something happened to Mingqi.

That was the second day after I promised Meng Qingcheng. On that day, Meng Qingcheng not only returned to the Hou Mansion at noon, which was rare, but also locked himself in the study as soon as he came back.Less than a quarter of an hour later, Meng Yuan called me over again.

"Brother, what happened?"

When I knocked on the door and got Meng Qingcheng's permission, I entered the study. Seeing Meng Qingcheng sitting in the study with a serious face, I couldn't help but asked worriedly.

But Meng Qingcheng didn't answer me immediately.

Meng Qingcheng has been staring at me since he stepped into the threshold of the study, his eyes moved with my footsteps, and his eyes were so complicated that I only felt panic all over my body.

"Brother?" I called Meng Qingcheng again when I saw this.

After my yell, Meng Qingcheng withdrew his penetrating gaze from looking at me, and then he raised his hands and rubbed the double acupoints on his forehead, showing a headache.

"Qingqing, something happened." Meng Qingcheng looked at me with a headache and said.

However, I knew that something had happened from Meng Qingcheng's expression when I met him earlier, so I was not surprised when I heard Meng Qingcheng's words at this moment, but asked him calmly: "What happened? middle?"

Although Meng Qingcheng is a high-ranking official, he is a good official who wholeheartedly serves the people. Now that he is in such a headache, I guess that something happened to the court.

It's just that something happened to the political affairs that Meng Qingcheng was in charge of, or something happened to the entire court.

"No." Meng Qingcheng shook his head after my words, and continued, "It's the emperor."

"What?" After hearing his words this time, I lost my composure just now, and immediately screamed out.

"Brother, what happened to Mingqi? How is he doing now? Is his life in danger?" After I screamed, I looked at Meng Qingcheng anxiously and asked.

I thought that when I saw Mingqi a few days ago, although his expression revealed that he was not doing well, he was at least safe. But now Meng Qingcheng would suddenly tell me that something happened to Mingqi.

And after I heard that something happened to Mingqi, my first reaction was whether he was assassinated or in danger, so I started worrying about his safety.

"Brother was at Mingqi's place before he came back just now? How is he doing now? What happened to him?" I asked anxiously again.

Meng Qingcheng didn't know if he was surprised by my surprised look, but after my words, he looked at me with a surprised face, and stopped there with his hands rubbing the double acupoints on his forehead.

"Brother, please tell me, what happened to Mingqi? Is he safe now?" After seeing Meng Qingcheng's state, I became even more anxious. After speaking, I no longer had the patience to wait for Meng Qingcheng's answer, and turned Turn around and go out. "Forget it, I'd better go to the palace to have a look."

And Meng Qingcheng finally reacted this time, he stood up immediately when I turned around, and stretched out his hand to hold me.

"Come back, you are not the queen mother now, you can enter wherever you want in the palace." Meng Qingcheng said helplessly after holding me back.

"I know, but I brought out the token that Mingqi gave me back then. As long as I give the token to the guards guarding the city, the guards will let me in." I heard this, but Meng Qingcheng's forehead twitched again.

"Brother, I know you don't want me to have trouble with Mingqi anymore, and I don't want to, so I have been avoiding him before. But since his life is in danger now, I can't ignore him. I want to go to the palace to see Him." When I saw Meng Qingcheng's appearance, I hurriedly said.I could never mention the matter of going back to the palace when Mingqi was safe, but once I heard about Mingqi's accident, I couldn't bear it anymore.

"Calm down, Meng Qingqing." But my words provoked a loud shout from Meng Qingcheng.

"I said just now that something happened to the emperor, but did I say that he was in danger or was assassinated? Did I say that his life was in danger?" Meng Qingcheng shouted at me.

"But," I was about to speak when I heard the words, but was interrupted by Meng Qingcheng.

"I know you care about him, but Meng Qingqing, can you lose your composure and measure when you mention him? Where are you calm and smart in the past?" Meng Qingcheng interrupted me.

"Brother, you mean, Mingqi is okay?"

Meng Qingcheng said a lot to me just now, and I heard them all, but this is the only sentence that caught my attention in the end.

As for what Meng Qingcheng said about me losing my calmness and sense of proportion, I was thinking, if something really happened to Mingqi, then it would be no wonder I would be calm.

"Brother, is what you said true? Is Mingqi really okay?"

Meng Qingcheng was probably too lazy to have a headache because of me, so he let go of me after hearing what I said, and sat back.

"Yes, he's fine." Meng Qingcheng nodded at me after sitting down.

But when I saw Meng Qingcheng nodding his head and confirming that Mingqi was all right, I felt relieved.

"Brother Cai, what did you mean he had an accident?" But even so, I continued to ask, because Meng Qingcheng's appearance just now was too intimidating.

Meng Qingcheng didn't answer me this time. After I finished speaking, he took a rolled-up picture scroll from the desk and handed it to me: "This is it."

I don't know what the relationship between Meng Qingcheng's painting scroll and the Mingqi accident he said just now, regardless of seeing it, I took the scroll from Meng Qingcheng's hand, and then opened it suspiciously.

"This!" But when I just unfolded the scroll, I froze there.

The painting Meng Qingcheng gave me was a figure painting, I saw that the person in the painting was dressed like a girl, she was wearing an ordinary long skirt, standing among the blooming flowers, looking at the front in the distance, as if What are you waiting for.

I looked at the girl in the painting, raised my hand to touch my face, and then froze there.

Although my current appearance is only two or three points similar to that of the past, and even though the person in the painting is dressed as a girl, I can still tell at a glance that the person in the painting is not someone else, but the person I used to be.

However, if it is just that the person in the painting is my painting, I will not stop there. The real reason why I am stopped is that the brushwork of the person in the painting is very familiar to me.

"Can you see who is in the painting?" Meng Qingcheng asked me when I was standing there.

I didn't answer when I heard the words, but I nodded.

"How did brother get this painting?" After nodding my head, I stroked the girl in the painting again, and raised my head to ask Meng Meng Qingcheng.

"Of course he gave it to me." Meng Qingcheng replied.

"Why did he give my brother this painting for no reason? How does this painting have anything to do with the accident that my brother just said?" I asked after hearing this.

Meng Qingcheng didn't answer me immediately when he heard the words. He looked at me back and forth after I said something, and then replied: "Draft."

"What?" I was surprised.

Whether it was Meng Qingcheng's mention of Mingqi being drafted suddenly, or the relationship between this painting and Mingqi's drafting, I was amazed.

"The emperor ordered me to be fully responsible for this year's draft, and this year's draft will be modeled after the person in the painting." Meng Qingcheng looked at me in surprise and said.

And after hearing Meng Qingcheng's words, I couldn't even be surprised, I just stood there in a daze.

I didn't expect that there would be a day when I heard that Mingqi was going to be drafted, let alone that the standard of Mingqi's draft today is based on my past portrait.

Meng Qingcheng's words echoed in my ears, and I saw the portrait in my hand. At this moment, I didn't feel sad for Mingqi's draft. The only thing I could think of at this moment was: Mingqi was looking for me in the past, that is, Qiu Changwu's substitute.

Thinking about it, I remembered how Mingqi mistook me that day at Fahua Temple, and then the thought of 'Mingqi must be having a bad time' arose in my heart for the second time.

Yes, if Mingqi had a good life, how could I be so excited just seeing my back that day; if he had a good life, how could he feel colder than before; If he is doing well, why did he suddenly propose the draft, and the standard of the draft is still similar to mine?

Mingqi, he must be unable to hold on any longer, right?Otherwise, if you are as unruly as him, why would you be willing to find my substitute?

Thinking of Mingqi's bad life, I feel bad.

"Brother, he, he..." I suddenly had the urge to ask Meng Qingcheng about Mingqi these years, but I don't know if I have been suppressed in the past few years. When I really opened my mouth, I found that I couldn't keep asking. .

"The first time the emperor mentioned the draft was the second day after we came back from Fahua Temple, and this painting was handed over to me today." Meng Qingcheng said again after I hesitated to speak.

From what he said, I naturally heard that Mingqi suddenly wanted to find Qiu Changwu's substitute after he mistook me, and I also naturally heard that I would definitely participate in this draft. Within a certain range, even Mingqi should have figured out the details of my current identity in the past few days, and it is very likely that this draft is aimed at me.

"Qingqing, if you really don't want to go back, you should make a plan early." Meng Qingcheng said again.In fact, these words are still obedient to the marriage with Chu Lin.

Because as long as I make a marriage agreement before the draft, then even if Mingqi is the emperor, even if my conditions are within the scope of this draft, I don’t have to participate in this draft.

I couldn't be more clear about what Meng Qingcheng meant.

It's just that my desire to go back to the palace retreated after knowing that Mingqi's life was not in danger, and I still didn't dare to go back to that palace.

But if I really want to marry Chu Lin in order to avoid the draft, I can't do it.

"Brother, can I borrow this painting from Qingqing for two days?" After a moment of silence, I suddenly asked Meng Qingcheng.

And Meng Qingcheng probably didn't expect me to mention this suddenly, I saw that he frowned after I said this, and then said: "At most one day, this painting was drawn by him himself, so naturally he won't let it go Outside, after the artist has copied it, I will still change it back."

"it is good."
