To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 237 Volume 5 8 Sounds of Ganzhou

A few days later, You Miao got annoyed by people coming to her door, so she closed the door and disappeared.

Just after taking a nap that day, Qiao Rong looked for him in the corridor.

"Miaozi, I've made up my mind." Qiao Rong said.

"I haven't figured it out yet," You Miao said.

Qiao Rong said: "This matter is not up to you, nor is it up to me."

You Miao said: "If you want him to let Brother Nie out, you don't have to marry him. Sooner or later he will have to use Brother Nie."

Qiao Rong said: "No, this matter is not because of your elder brother. Tell the truth, Ziqian, if you propose marriage to me, who do you want my sister to marry?"

You Miao suddenly thought of this. There are many people who want to marry Qiao Rong, but Qiao Rong doesn't like her, and there are many people who want to climb the power of You's family, but You Miao always follow Qiao Rong's temperament and never give her Betroth marriage.Qiao Rong also needs to get married.

"He really wants to marry me." Qiao Rong said.

You Miao said: "The key is whether you like him or not."

Qiao Rong asked back: "Do you think that both of you are like the two of you, and the matter of marriage can reach the point where two people are in love with each other?"

You Miao was blocked for a while, and Qiao Rong sighed again: "I won't say much about your elder brother, listen to me, Miaozi. I'm tired too, and we, Youjia, have to go ashore. .”

"Go ashore." You Miao murmured, thinking that what she said was vivid.

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet?If Qiao Rong married into the palace, You Qiao's family would be the icing on the cake and a further step forward.From then on, You Miao no longer had to worry about Zhao Chao beheading him.If you become an uncle of the country, don't you have to be afraid of losing your head?

not necessarily.

But at least if I deal with it properly, I should be able to guarantee my life. Even if Zhao Chao wants to kill the hero, You Miao will be poisoned to death, or the whole body will be preserved, and You Qiao and his family will still be fine... Bah, bah, bah, bah , What are you thinking about!

"I don't want it because of me." You Miao said seriously, "I'll let you marry someone you don't like."

"Like it or not." Qiao Rong sighed: "You think you can make the decision, but my sister thinks that it doesn't matter who you marry. At my age, if you can't find someone you like, why don't you marry? "

You Miao almost blurted out to make a debut, then why don't you marry, and the family doesn't lack money to support you.

But he also knew that Qiao Rong didn't think so. She longed to have a family—to get married, have children, and raise children.She admired Nie Dan before, but Nie Dan didn't seem to care about feelings at all.

"Don't you like my elder brother?" You Miao said.

"Tired." Qiao Rong said: "I asked you to take me to meet him, just to explain clearly to him."

You Miao nodded, knowing that if Qiao Rong and Nie Dan got married, it would be a good marriage. He would rather entrust everything to Nie Dan than to Zhao Chao. not safe.

But when Zhao Chao treated You Miao, he did everything he could. It can only be said that You Miao treated him unfairly from the very beginning.Not only You Miao, everyone is rejecting him.

"It's not too late to decide." You Miao said, "I still have to ask Third Brother."

In the whole world, only You Miao dared to say such words.

"Your Majesty said it." Qiao Rong said: "He really likes me, as long as there is no accident, he will not accept another concubine."

This is indeed Zhao Chao's character, You Miao nodded, and decided to go to the palace anyway.

If it were someone else, they might wish to persuade their daughter to marry the emperor as soon as possible.Although there were no foreign relatives involved in politics in the Tianqi Dynasty, and they were not wary of foreign relatives, there are precedents for the emperor to marry the daughter of a powerful minister.And as long as You Miao is smart enough to be alone in the future before Zhao Chao dies and hand over the power in his hands, it is not impossible to preserve the family.

After all, if Qiao Rong gave birth to a son, with Zhao Chao's character, Qiao Rong's son would be the crown prince.

When the crown prince comes to the throne in the future, You Miao will be his uncle. As long as he doesn't cover up the sky with his hands, and offend the king's prestige by being greedy, with Qiao Rong by his side, the crown prince will not attack his uncle no matter what.

But You Miao is still worried, he knows that Qiao Rong is not willing, not willing, so he seems to have a stalk in his heart, Zhao Chao, Nie Dan, Qiao Rong, You Miao himself.There are many words that still need to be unpacked and have to be said.

That night he discussed with Li Zhifeng, and they went to see each other separately. Li Zhifeng visited Nie Dan to try his words, while You Miao went to ask Zhao Chao.

Nie Dan was old and coughed frequently in the prison. When Li Zhifeng entered, Tu Risheng had already left.Nie Dan was the only one in the big dark and damp cell.

Li Zhifeng said: "Are you sick?"

Nie Dan smiled wryly, shook his head, took the wine from Li Zhifeng, and the two brothers had a drink facing each other across the fence.

"This month, the Yangzhou Army, the Northern Army, and the generals of the Yulin Army will jointly write a letter." Li Zhifeng said, "Please let your majesty let you out." He took out a memorial from his pocket and said, "I've finished writing it, you Miao taught me to write, he read, I wrote, big brother, check if there are any typos."

Nie Dan said, "No need."

Nie Dan didn't even look at the memorial, Li Zhifeng put it away again.

Nie Dan asked, "When are you leaving?"

Li Zhifeng said: "Two or three years, I still need your help during the Northern Expedition."

Nie Dan was silent for a long time, and said after a long time: "Go back and bring me a word to Qiao Rong, let her get married, don't wait for me."

Li Zhifeng said: "She wants to marry someone else."

Nie Dan said, "Who?"

Li Zhifeng said: "Third brother."

Nie Dan choked for breath and couldn't help trembling.

"Go back." Nie Dan's voice was bitter and helpless.

Li Zhifeng nodded and said, "I'll deliver the memorial tomorrow."

Nie Dan said: "It's useless to let me out, I won't fight for him, sooner or later he will have to imprison me again."

Li Zhifeng stood up and said, "It's not for him, it's for the brothers."

Nie Dan said in a deep voice, "No, I'm tired."

Li Zhifeng looked at Nie Dan for a long time, and suddenly said: "The prince is still alive."

There was a sound of iron chains colliding, Nie Dan stood up suddenly, and said in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"

Li Zhifeng was silent for a while, and said, "I saw him."

Nie Dan said: "Impossible, he is already dead, and the youngest opened the coffin for an autopsy in front of all the officials."

Li Zhifeng said: "I never lie."

Nie Dan frowned slightly, looking at Li Zhifeng.Li Zhifeng finally said: "Brother, I said something I shouldn't say because I respect you, don't let me be scolded by You Miao."

After finishing speaking, he bowed, leaving Nie Dan with a complicated expression behind, turned around and left in a hurry.

At the same time, You Miao entered the imperial study.

Zhao Chao said: "What dowry gift do you want, let's talk."

You Miao said: "There is no need for a dowry, just a word from you."

Zhao Chao said helplessly: "It has come to this time, and you still doubt what I will do to you? You all guess that I am suspicious, and I think you are all more suspicious than me."

"Who thinks you're suspicious?" You Miao said with a smile.

Zhao Chao didn't speak.

You Miao said: "Do you like my sister?"

Zhao Chao said: "I said I like it, will you believe it? You have already made up your mind about this matter, no matter what I say, you don't like it, so why ask me?"

You Miao said: "If you tell me, I will believe you."

Zhao Chao looked at You Miao quietly, and the two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they were unfettered teenagers. Although they had nothing to worry about or worry about each other, they only spent the night together in the dark wooden house of barbarians in the vast snowstorm outside Yanbian. But it seems that somewhere in the dark, there is already some bond that binds them together.

Seriously speaking, Zhao Chao fell in love with him even earlier than Li Zhifeng.On the night of the Lantern Festival that year, Zhao Chao wanted to invite You Miao into the palace to be his companion.However, when she got here gradually, You Miao thought that her heart for Zhao Chao had died and her ties to Zhao Chao had also been broken, but at such a night, when she stood in front of him and saw the familiar look in his eyes, she still couldn't help but feel ruthless. Make up your mind, turn around and leave.

"I like it." Zhao Chao said: "You can rest assured that she is a good girl. I will be wary of marrying anyone's daughter. Only by marrying your sister can I start a family. I don't want to be so tired in the court and so tired in the next court." Tired, I can't tell the truth for a moment. I went back to the harem and guarded my queen like a minister. The Tang family and Xie family have thought about it, but I don't want to marry. If you don't want to, or she doesn't want to marry , and you don’t have to force it, just pretend I didn’t say it.”

With Zhao Chao's nonchalant tone, You Miao couldn't say a word.

"I'll go back and ask her." You Miao could only say.

"When will you return to court?" Zhao Chao asked again.

You Miao didn't speak, and Zhao Chao laughed at himself.

"It's up to you. I'll see it. If you don't want to, don't force it."

You Miao resigned.
