Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 396 A major discovery, Ming Yun fainted (4)
The second master is only one year younger than the elder master, and his appearance is somewhat similar to the elder master, but his eyebrows are thicker, and his eyes are deep and sharp. When he fixes on a person, he often makes people feel guilty and panic for no reason. .But the facial lines are the same as the old man's, softer, so if you just look at his face, it will give people a gentle feeling.

With a gentle face and sharp eyes, the second master is also a contradictory person.

He didn't even change the royal blue court clothes on his body, and his steps were steady, obviously coming in a hurry.

The old man frowned slightly and raised his hand.

"What happened in such a hurry?"

The second master is the prime minister of the third-rank patriarch, and an official of the Ministry of Rites.Manage the royal family's general fall, Juelu, rewards and punishments, sacrifices and other things.In charge of sending and receiving documents, managing internal affairs of the royal family, registering the yellow book, red book, confining criminals and educating the clan's children.In some respects, the work with the Grand Master complements each other.The Clan's Prime Minister, who had also been immersed in the court for many years, did not have the eloquence and indirectness of ordinary civil servants.So he replied unequivocally, "Father, I heard Mingyue's words outside just now."

Qiu Mingyue raised her eyebrows, and the second master had already turned her head to look at her, his eyes were deep and heavy, with a trace of searching and examining.

Qiu Mingyue smiled lightly and blessed herself slightly.

"Mingyue met my second uncle."

The second master looked at her for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"Mingyue, you are very smart."

He looked at the old man again, and he looked at the old man with some scrutiny without hesitation.

"Father, Mingyue didn't lie, Mingxuan does know martial arts."

The old man didn't speak, but his dark eyes showed that he was very angry.The old man couldn't help it anymore, "Second brother, what's going on?"

The second master sighed, and said, "Father, Yun Shu practiced martial arts when she was young. It's just that she is a lady, and it is inevitable that she will be criticized for dancing knives and guns, so few people know about it. Mingxuan's martial arts, It was taught by Yun Shu."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" The Eldest Master said in a reproachful tone, "Second brother, we are a family, what can't we say properly?"

Qiu Mingyue frowned, and just about to say something, the second master turned his head to look at her with apologetic eyes.

"Mingyue, I know, the last time Mingrui fell off a horse, Mingxuan could have saved him but stood by and watched. You should blame him in your heart."

When he said this, the elder also thought of this, and his expression became even uglier.

Qiu Mingyue's eyes were a little cold, and the second master was obviously talking about other things.

"Second uncle..."

The second master sighed and interrupted her.

"Mingxuan was born prematurely and is weak. Your second aunt taught him martial arts since he was a child. If too many people know about this, then your second aunt will be involved, and her reputation will be bad. I advocated concealing this matter. Yes, if you want to blame, you can blame me. Besides, Mingxuan has a stubborn illness, so he is not allowed to use force at will, so..."

"Brother was born prematurely?" Qiu Mingyue caught on to these two words, and before the second master could finish speaking, she hastily interrupted him, even forgetting her original purpose.

The second master didn't expect her to be so excited, so he nodded.

"Yes. Premature. Your second aunt was born after only seven months of pregnancy."

The old man and the great man did not speak, and this matter was no secret at all in the Qiu Mansion.But Qiu Mingyue grew up in Yangzhou since she was a child, so she naturally didn't know about it.At this moment, her heart is complicated.

Xuanyuan Kingdom, Duanyang Palace, Princess, Ji Minhui, Guangfu, Treasure Map.Also, Qiu Mingxuan's premature birth... the early acquaintance between the second master and the second wife.

Most of the officials in Dazhao were conservative and pedantic because of feudal ethics and ethics. They always abided by the female precepts and never met privately with men.Even if it's an accident, you should still be like a lady, how can you chat and laugh with men outside, and appreciate poetry?What's more, in front of the elders?

The second wife is proud of her talents. As the eldest daughter of a cabinet bachelor, why would she marry a second son?Is it the real Huang Yunshu that the second master wants to marry, or Ji Minhui who has already been handed over?The second wife became pregnant within a month after marrying, and Qiu Mingxuan gave birth prematurely.Xuanyuan Kingdom and Dazhao are neighboring countries, and it only takes one month's journey to reach them.

In other words, the Duanyang Palace was destroyed, and Ji Minhui had no choice but to leave her hometown and flee to the Dazhao Kingdom, where she happened to meet the Second Master.No, maybe it wasn't a coincidence, but a conspiracy.

From the time when the second wife met the second master, when the second wife married the second master, and when she was pregnant later on, it was only more than two months.Qiu Mingxuan was born prematurely at seven months...

Then speaking of it, Qiu Mingxuan might not really be the second master's child.

Qiu Mingyue's heart beat wildly. Although she had guessed this before, she was not sure.

now……

She shook hands, suppressing the clamor in her heart that wanted to break out.

"Second Uncle, I..." She just wanted to say that the Second Madam is actually the princess of Duanyang Palace in Xuanyuan Kingdom, and Qiu Mingxuan might not be his son.However, at this moment, someone knocked on the door outside, and it was obvious that something serious had happened with the rapid knocking.

"Grandpa, something happened..."

The old man immediately squinted his eyes, and the first and second masters also looked solemn.

"What happened?" the old man said in a deep voice.

Yan Yi said anxiously outside the door: "Just now someone from Beiyuan came to report that Miss Ba passed out, and the government doctor checked and said she was poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

The old man's eyes were not without shock, and the first and second masters were also surprised.He quickly opened the door and went out. Yan Yizheng was standing at the door with an anxious expression on his face.

"The slave doesn't know what's going on, but just now I heard noisy footsteps in front of me, and I went over to ask, and then I realized that something happened to Miss Eight. The slave doesn't know exactly what happened, but It is said that Miss Ba has been poisoned for many years. She has been taking chronic poison all these years..."

"Chronic poison?" The elder master and the second master sighed at the same time.Although Qiu Mingyun is only a concubine in the third room, she is also the daughter of the Qiu Mansion after all.To be so poisonous that no one knows about it?And these years are still taking chronic poison.Who is so cruel?

None of them were idiots, but they couldn't relate this matter to the battle in the inner courtyard.Although it is said that the women in the inner courtyard of the rich and powerful family live and die all day long, there are very few people who are so vicious.

So, someone else did this?
The old man, the great man, and the second master have been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and his mind is heavy. At this moment, he naturally thinks of those conspiracy theories.And today, those rumors came out again, which made them even more suspicious.

Qiu Mingyue immediately reacted when she heard that something happened to Qiu Mingyun. That day she asked Qiu Mingrong to increase the dose of medicine, and it was supposed to be two days before news came out.At this moment, he also forgot what he was going to say just now. Seeing that the faces of the old master and the elder master and the second master were solemn, he naturally guessed a little bit.
