To Rule in a Turbulent World

It was night in the villa, and the news of the visitor did not alarm anyone, only Qiao Jue received the envoy.

"I dare not let him enter Yangzhou." Qiao Jue said, "I can only wait for you to come back to make up your mind."

"Do my parents know?" You Miao hurried into the garden, Qiao Jue followed behind, and replied: "No one knows except you and Guangwu."

Listening to the bamboo courtyard, You Miao stopped, and there was a tall man standing in front of the bamboo forest, looking at the fish, he was a dog.

Seeing You Miao coming, the dog Rong bowed and saluted, put his left hand on his right shoulder, then raised it flat, turned his palm over, with the palm facing down, slowly moved towards You Miao, and finally closed it on his chest.You Miao's heart was awe-inspiring, and he returned the gift with the same courtesy.He knew that this was the etiquette for the Quanrong people to meet the royal family, and he also expressed their loyalty.

"His Royal Highness Shanado sent me to deliver the letter." The dog Rong introduced himself, took out another letter and a jade pendant, and handed them to You Miao.

You Miao opened the letter without looking up, and asked, "How is the situation in the clan?"

"Dalek's move was unanimously opposed by the whole clan. The clan believed that it was inappropriate to become enemies with Apocalypse. The voices of opposition increased day by day, like a silent wildfire on the grassland. Daleko suppressed all opponents with his tough actions. "Yuhuo explained: "Prince Gegen planned to attack Emperor Tianqi in Montenegro, but due to an unexpected plan, he couldn't make it."

"What accident?" You Miao asked, unfolding the letter, and froze for a moment.

There are only eight words on the letter paper: The third child is critically ill, and he is planning to get out early.

"It's impossible..." You Miao murmured, "What should I do? This is bad."

Yuhuo bowed slightly, and You Miao tried to calm down and said, "How is your condition?"

Yuhuo said, "He has a high fever and is unconscious."

You Miao took a deep breath and couldn't stop trembling. If Zhao Chao died of illness in the north, all his plans would be over... What should I do?

You Miao didn't expect Zhao Chao to be so ill. He was flustered and his mind was full of the crisis of the Northern Expedition. He couldn't discuss this matter with anyone for a while.If the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.Qiao Jue saw You Miao's absent-mindedness, and comforted her: "Miaozi, don't panic, calm down first, and think of a way."

"Is there any way?" You Miao murmured.

He raised his eyes to look at Yuhuo, and when he met his sharp eyes, Yuhuo's expression disappeared in just a moment.You Miao said: "Are you in the Quanrong tribe now, or are you following Shanado?"

"Your Highness sent me and a few brothers to stay in the clan." Yu Huo replied, "They brought out General Nie's body."

You Miao said: "You stay in the villa first, and I will write back to you after I think about it."

"Please hurry up." Yuhuo replied.

You Miao clenched the letter tightly in her hand and left the garden. Qiao Jue chased after her and asked, "What about Rong'er?"

"I'll go back to the palace right now." You Miao said, "Don't let anyone touch Yuchow."

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Qiao Jue nodded and ready the horse, and sent You Miao back to Yangzhou.

You Miao got on the horse and ran around, and finally arrived at Maocheng in the middle of the night. After riding for a day, traveling between the two places, she hardly had anything to eat, and her whole body was almost dizzy. When she arrived in Maocheng, she entered the palace at night and reported that she wanted to see Qiao Rong , When they came outside the East Palace, they saw Qiao Rong sitting under the moon, embroidering a flower on Zhao Chao's shirt.

"Didn't sleep?" You Miao asked.

Qiao Rong raised her head and said, "I can't sleep, the climate changes in autumn, and I can't sleep well, what's wrong?"

You Miao sat down next to Qiao Rong, filled with emotions for a moment, her nose sore, she stretched out her hand and put her arms around Qiao Rong.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Rong smiled softly, "Why is Uncle Guo free to visit us?"

Qiao Rong touched her lower abdomen, but she said those words to the child in her stomach.

Sitting side by side, the siblings looked at the moon. It was the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, which was the Hungry Ghost Festival.

"Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" You Miao laughed.

Qiao Rong smiled and said, "Do you want a little nephew, or a niece?"

You Miao sighed: "I like them all."

Qiao Rong said: "Kick me all the time, probably a naughty boy who likes to mess around. My nephew is like my uncle. If I can be as beautiful as you and uncle, I will be happy."

"It's not bad to look like the third brother." You Miao said indifferently: "His appearance is quite a talent."

Qiao Rong nodded, looked at You Miao's face, and asked: "The people in the Political Affairs Hall said today that you went back to the villa after lunch, and now you came into the palace in the middle of the night. Just talk about it, news from the front line?"

You Miao was silent, looking at Qiao Rong, he wanted to discuss with Qiao Rong, what would they do if Zhao Chao died of illness at the front line.

Once the king of a country dies, the news must be spread back to the south for at least four months. After Qiao Rong gives birth, if she can give birth to a boy, she will be crowned prince. If Qiao Rong gave birth to a daughter, then he would have to set up another descendant of the Zhao family and give up the throne.

Next, Youjia will also lose power, so in order not to be implicated, he had no choice but to take Qiao Rong away and leave the villa.

And Li Zhifeng on the front line... When You Miao heard the news, his only thought was that no matter what the situation was, he had to stabilize the entire court.Even if Zhao Chao died of illness, he was determined not to publicize it to the outside world.He must immediately find someone to pretend to be the emperor and continue the Northern Expedition.

Let Li Zhifeng command the army of the Southern Dynasties, fight to the death, and defeat the Tatars in the name of the emperor before returning...

At this moment, You Miao didn't know how to speak about the complicated things.

Qiao Rong was still looking at You Miao, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.

"Is Darleko difficult to deal with?" Qiao Rong asked.

"Yes." You Miao nodded and said: "At the beginning, the elder brother personally designed it to disintegrate the alliance between Tatar and Quanrong."

Although several months have passed, when Nie Dan was mentioned, You Miao still felt a dull pain in his heart.He looked at Qiao Rong guiltily, knowing that Qiao Rong must be feeling bad in his heart.

"Tell me about your elder brother." Qiao Rong said: "These days, you have been hiding it from me. In fact, my sister is very open. When I met your elder brother, he also said that he killed too much in his life. One day, it will be..."

"He killed a lot of people." You Miao murmured, "He saved more people."

You Miao told them in detail about their affairs in the north, and Qiao Rong was stunned. You Miao smiled and talked about how Nie Dan went undercover for three years, and how to find out about Xi Kelan's plan.

"Is Darleko unaware of all this?" Qiao Rong asked.

You Miao replied: "Xiklan sent someone to deliver a letter to him, but the messenger was killed by the elder brother on the way..."

Speaking of this, You Miao didn't know why, but the eyes of the Dog Rong messenger suddenly flashed in his mind.

Those eyes were fleeting, and You Miao suddenly realized another problem: What if Yuhuo's words are not true?He came here with Li Zhifeng's keepsake and autographed letter, even the jade pendant, so it stands to reason that there would be no fake ones.However...You Miao's heart was beating wildly, she got up and said, "I'll go back first, I think of something."

"Wait a minute." Qiao Rong said: "Tonight I had someone cook ginseng soup, and I was about to send it to you, drink it before leaving."

You Miao stood still, but suddenly changed her mind, and said, "Okay, where is the third brother's letter, show me."

Qiao Rong was a little surprised, but still didn't ask any further questions. She took You Miao to the main hall and opened a box, which contained all the letters Zhao Chao kept.You Miao opened it, and saw that most of it was Zhao Chao's handwritten letters, with dense handwriting, and the letters left behind by Qiao Rong Yuyan.

"Your third brother wrote it to me before." Qiao Rong smiled and said, "Why?"

You Miao shook her head, glanced, and saw what Zhao Chao and Qiao Rong were talking about. Most of the letter was talking about You Miao herself, so she didn't care to read too much, put it aside, and when she got to the bottom of the box, Found a letter from Li Zhifeng.

The palace servants brought ginseng soup, and Qiao Rong scooped it out for You Miao with her own hands. You Miao drank it while comparing Li Zhifeng's handwriting.

really……

You Miao took a long breath, found the word "chip", and knew that Li Zhifeng was left-handed, and his handwriting was different from others. There was an obvious difference in this word.

Qiao Rong's expression changed instantly when she saw the forged letter.

"Fake." You Miao said, "Don't worry!"

Only then did Qiao Rong nod with lingering fear, You Miao packed up the letters, and quickly went through the whole incident in her mind, who sent Yuhuo?What is the plot?Is it to muddy the water and cause civil strife?It's not that simple... Since the messenger of Li Zhifeng's faction was killed halfway, the enemy must be the faction of Darleko and Gegen.

Daleke sent someone to inform You Miao that Zhao Chao was about to die, what plan did he have?

You Miao vaguely felt that Darleko must have some kind of conspiracy, but he couldn't cut it in.

"General Tang Hui." You Miao went out and said.
