The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

The sudden changes in the royal family of Liang Kingdom spread quickly.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is Situ Xie's attempt to usurp power. It seems that only one Situ Han is dead now, but his sons will not end well. The first person to be operated on was Situ Jing.

However, it was reasonable for Situ Xie to issue such a killing order to his nominal grandnephew Situ Jing, because Situ Jing had betrayed the Liang Kingdom, changed his name to Qiu Jing, and became the commander-in-chief of the Qian Kingdom's Northern Guard Army. Who can endure treason?

When news enters Qian Kingdom, the first place to arrive is Xuanbei City.

When Qiu Cong learned about it, he had just bought roast chicken from outside. He took out a jar of wine sent by Su Liang during the Mid-Autumn Festival and planned to have a few drinks with Qiu Jing and his grandson.

Hearing the spies rushing over and saying there was news from the Liang Kingdom, Qiu Cong pulled off a big chicken leg and snorted, News from the Liang Kingdom? Are you calling? Or was Situ Han killed by lightning?

Qiu Jing knew that Qiu Cong hated Situ Han the most, so it was completely normal for him to say such things.

The spy quickly talked about the changes in the royal family of Liang Kingdom. Qiu Jing stared at it, and Qiu Cong stopped halfway through eating the chicken drumsticks.

Tiger poison does not eat its seeds. Situ Xie actually killed Situ Han for the throne? Although Qiu Cong hoped that Situ Han would die a good death, he never thought it would be such a result.

The spy then talked about something directly related to them, The new Emperor Liang has offered a reward of one hundred thousand taels of gold for General Qiu's head.

Qiu Jing's expression became calmer. If Situ Xie can get rid of even Situ Han, it means that he has completely stopped pretending after his two-year plan failed one after another, and has revealed his true colors of cruelty and ruthlessness. How could he let Qiu Jing go, which is such a big deal to him? The one who pressed his face to the ground and rubbed it?

Qiu Cong became furious instantly, I know that bitch Situ Xie! One hundred thousand taels of gold? Okay, let's see who has the guts to kill my grandson! I've been itchy for a long time!

The last sentence is true. The main reason why Qiu Cong had to follow Qiu Jing to Xuanbeicheng and stay here with him was to fear that he would be assassinated by the Liang royal family. After waiting and waiting, there was no movement from the Liang royal family. Qiu Jing said it was not time yet. Sure enough, now the time has come!

Grandpa, please eat the meat quickly. It will get cold soon. Qiu Jing pulled Qiu Cong and asked him to sit back. Then he asked the spy to rest and called someone over.

Soon, eight hundred miles of urgent news left Xuanbei City and headed for the capital.

After doing this, Qiu Jing picked up the wine Qiu Cong poured for him and drank it all in one gulp, This wine is good.

The gift from Xiaoliang is of course the best. Qiu Cong frowned and looked at Qiu Jing, I will live in the same room with you, and you are not allowed to leave my sight.

This... I don't mind, but if there is a reward of one hundred thousand taels of gold, I'm afraid even some old guys who live in seclusion will be tempted. Qiu Jing's face was calm, but he knew in his heart that he was now at great risk. This time the trouble is not easy to solve. He asked Duanmu Chen for instructions on who would take charge of the overall situation in Xuanbeicheng if something happened to him, so that Duanmu Chen could decide as soon as possible.

Qiu Cong used to be a reclusive old guy. Hearing this, he hummed, Let them come here!

It shouldn't be so soon. Qiu Jing sighed and suddenly smiled, It's okay, with grandpa's protection, I just took this opportunity to practice my skills, otherwise it will always be difficult to improve. Next time we meet, I will have to talk to Gu Ling One more fight.”

That's right. We did it, and we will bear the consequences. What are you afraid of? Situ Xie was originally your biggest enemy. Now that he has become the emperor, he wants to turn his hand to make clouds and rain, just dream! Qiu Cong's eyes were cold, Eat the chicken legs and let's practice again!

…

The capital of Qian Kingdom. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫sɥnx˙ɔoɯ

The rumors from Liang Kingdom have not yet reached the capital, but urgent news from Xuanbei City has arrived.

Su Liang and Gu Ling were invited into the palace by Chang'an. When they saw Duanmu Chen, he looked pretty good and shared the news he had just received with them.

He finally stopped pretending. Su Liang was a little surprised, but only a little. Situ Xie would take this step sooner or later, because there was only one dragon chair, and he would not be able to control the situation if he let others sit on it. Situ Xie had absolute strength and power in Liang Kingdom. Even though Situ Han had been the emperor for many years, he was still essentially a puppet.

Situ Xie did not want to be emperor, but he refused to give up his supreme power. This can only show that he is an arrogant and control freak at heart. He is too conceited and has a strong desire to control. He thinks that even if he is not sitting on the throne, he can control everything. This was indeed the case before, but in the past two years, many things had exceeded his expectations, and his plan no longer worked.

In short, before usurping the throne, Situ Xie was both responsible and established. He wants power, but he doesn't want to be accused of seeking power and usurping the throne.

The rise of Situ Xie is no different from the reign of Situ Han. Perhaps the Liang royal family will be tougher in the future. Duanmu Chen regarded Situ Xie and Situ Han as one. It's just that their uncle and nephew coexistence and intrigue were more in line with the interests of the Qian Kingdom. Now the situation has changed, but it is not to the extent that Duanmu Chen is afraid.

It's just, Duanmu Chen continued, the most urgent task is to resolve Situ Xie's reward for Qiu Jing.

It is the time for Qianguo to hire people, and Qiu Jing is the best among the generals of Qianguo now. If something happens to him, it will be a big loss to Qianguo, and it will also have an impact on the morale of the military. He took the risk and betrayed the Liang Kingdom and pledged his allegiance to the Qian Kingdom. If, as the leader of the Northern Army, he was beheaded by the Liang Kingdom, the Qian Kingdom would also be very embarrassed.

Su Liang's tone was faint, On the condition of sending Situ Yao back to Liang Kingdom, Situ Xie can cancel the reward order on Qiu Jing? There is a difference between assassination and explicit reward. The assassination can only be carried out by Situ Xie's people. The obvious huge reward will attract experts from all walks of life, and the latter is even more uncontrollable.

Duanmu Chen's face darkened when he heard this, Su Liang, don't tell me that you are serious! Situ Yao is my woman, isn't this the same as asking me to sell my own woman in exchange for profits?

Su Liang coughed lightly, Your Majesty, calm down, I'm just raising a possibility.

She's pregnant. Duanmu Chen snorted coldly.

Su Liang was surprised, Congratulations to the Emperor and Concubine Liang.

Tell me something serious and feasible! Duanmu Chen was not really angry. At this moment, he even felt that his reaction just now seemed a bit excessive. Would it make Su Liang and Gu Ling think that he valued Situ Yao very much?

It's actually simple. Su Liang said, As for the reward, money matters can be solved with money. Since the new emperor of Liang Kingdom is so determined, we can just give him a big gift in return. Our country of Qian is offering a reward of one hundred and one tael. For gold, I want the head of Situ Xie’s eldest grandson, Situ Jing.”

Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, What's the reason?

As long as we are willing to spend money, what's the reason? Su Liang snorted, I just told Situ Xie that Qiu Jing is a member of my country, and he can't touch it if he wants. He wants Qiu Jing to die. , let his precious eldest grandson be buried with him. If he doesn’t want Situ Jing’s safety to be threatened, he should quickly cancel the reward order!”

Treat others in their own way. As for Situ Xie’s plan to say that Qiu Jing is a traitor to the Liang Kingdom and that the Qian Kingdom should be handed over to the Liang Kingdom for disposal, then he must explain why Qiu Jing grew up in Xuanbei City. The source of the matter is that Situ Xie kept Qiu Jing’s secret Send it to Qianguo for detailed work, and the account can be settled.

Duanmu Chen thought this method was very good, The national treasury is tight, how about you two rich men paying for the bounty?

Su Liang smiled and shook his head, It's not that we can't afford it, but if word gets out, it might make the emperor lose face.

Duanmu Chen is also joking, because there is a high probability that he will not actually need to pay in the end, but just express an attitude.

When Su Liang and Gu Ling left the palace, the reward order from the Qian Kingdom was officially announced: the head of Situ Jing, the grandson of the emperor of the Liang Kingdom, would be rewarded with a bounty of one hundred and one taels of gold.

This fraction is very interesting, it is obviously for Situ Xie to see.

But when it came to showing off, Situ Xie really dared to bet that the one in danger was his grandson. Because masters who want bounties don't care about the twists and turns, as long as they believe in the bounty order issued by the royal family and will not deny it for the sake of face, they will be able to complete the bounty mission.

…

At nightfall, Duanmu Chen went to Queen Mother Xiao's place and saw Queen Xing Yuyan and Concubine Liang Situ Yao there.

They are all pregnant, and Mrs. Xiao hopes that they will be harmonious. The most important thing is to give birth to the child safely.

Xing Yuyan deliberately showed her high status in front of Situ Yao, and Duanmu Chen did not refuse her approach, but secretly observed Situ Yao's expression.

Situ Yao behaved very grandly, as gentle as ever, but occasionally she narrowed her eyes, showing a bit of disappointment.

Duanmu Chen didn't notice it himself, but he was a little happy to see that Situ Yao seemed jealous.

After dinner, Mrs. Xiao asked Duanmu Chen to send Xing Yuyan back first.

Duanmu Chen stood up in response, and Xing Yuyan couldn't hide her smile when she heard Duanmu Chen say, I will send the queen back to Yao'er.

Situ Yao's eyes lit up, Duanmu Chen didn't pay attention to Xing Yuyan's expression that changed instantly, and walked out on his own.

When Mrs. Xiao saw this, she couldn't help but frowned. It was clear to onlookers that she recently felt that Duanmu Chen was really different from Situ Yao, and it was not like he said it at the beginning just to test.

Duanmu Chen didn't talk to Xing Yuyan along the way, he was just thinking about whether to tell Situ Yao the news he got today. It's impossible to hide such a big thing.

After sending Xing Yuyan back, Duanmu Chen turned around and left without even taking a seat.

Xing Yuyan was so angry that she called Situ Yao a fox and cried again.

By the time Duanmu Chen arrived at Situ Yao's palace, she had already changed her clothes and had a midnight snack ready.

After talking about the conversation, Situ Yao was as considerate as ever, The emperor seems to have something on his mind?

Duanmu Chen sighed, There is indeed something, I think I should tell you.

Situ Yao nodded, Your Majesty, please speak.

This is the news that just came from the north today. Duanmu Chen told Situ Yao about the changes in the royal family of Liang Kingdom.

Situ Yao looked surprised at first, and then showed sadness, Uncle Huang always loves me very much.

Duanmu Chen looked at Situ Yao's sad look and felt it was a bit fake. Did she really not know that Situ Han was killed by Situ Xie? Is this really naive, or is it just pretending?

But Duanmu Chen didn't care much about this. He likes smart people. Situ Yao's current behavior is very normal. She can't be happy to say that her grandfather finally became the emperor.

Duanmu Chen held Situ Yao's hand, I am also shocked that something like this happened. However, there is one more thing. After your grandfather ascended the throne, he issued a reward order of one hundred thousand taels of gold for Qiu Jing's head.

Situ Yao was stunned for a moment, This... my grandfather had no choice but to do this. General Qiu was the most respected by my grandfather. As the prince of the Liang Kingdom, he betrayed the Liang Kingdom. If my grandfather did not do this, he would not be able to do so. I will give an account to the people. I believe that my grandfather’s move was never an attempt to antagonize the state of Qian.”

Duanmu Chen's face paled a little, Then what do you think I should do?

Situ Yao sighed, I just feel that General Qiu is capricious and not a trustworthy person. The emperor has entrusted him with an important task, so he must not ruin important things.

Because he once ruined your grandfather's important affairs, otherwise you wouldn't marry him? Duanmu Chen's sudden change of expression shocked Situ Yao, and his face turned pale instantly.

Your Majesty, I never meant that. After all, I grew up in Liang Kingdom and just got married not long ago. I can't forget my relatives. If I said something wrong, please forgive me. Situ Yao stood up and knelt down. His face was pale with fright, and only his eyes were red, which really made me feel pity for him.

Qiu Jing is a spy arranged by your grandfather to deal with the Qian Kingdom. I haven't settled this debt with him yet. Now he has offered a reward to kill the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army of the Qian Kingdom. You actually told me not to do anything? Let your grandfather do it. Killed? Duanmu Chen looked at Situ Yao with a disappointed expression, Actually, there is a way to resolve the conflict. If you care about your mother's family so much, I will send you back and ask your grandfather to cancel the reward order. Do you think he will agree?

Situ Yao's expression froze, I am pregnant with the emperor's child...

Duanmu Chen hummed, So if I'm not pregnant, do you really want to go back?

Situ Yao grabbed Duanmu Chen's clothes, I really didn't mean that, the emperor misunderstood...

Duanmu Chen's face was expressionless, Actually, what I really want to tell you when I come here tonight is that I have issued the same reward order during the day for your eldest brother's head. The reward is one tael more than what your grandfather gave.

Hearing this, Situ Yao was stunned at first, and then kowtowed to beg Duanmu Chen to take back his life, I know it was my grandfather who was at fault first. But that is my eldest brother. If the emperor has any sympathy for me, please don't do that. .”

I have more than half a pity for you, but now it seems that you don't deserve it. Duanmu Chen shook off Situ Yao, turned around and strode away.

Chang An, who was waiting outside, saw Duanmu Chen's sullen face. He didn't know what happened and didn't dare to ask. He just followed silently to the imperial garden.

There is a pavilion in the Imperial Garden. Ever since he was a child, Duanmu Chen liked to sit in a certain position to calm down when he had troubles.

On the night when Ji Yueyan stabbed her with a hairpin, Su Liang and Gu Ling came to see Duanmu Chen, and he was sitting here looking at the moon.

Seeing that Duanmu Chen was going to his old place, Chang'an also stopped at his old place. He could see Duanmu Chen but would not disturb him.

Duanmu Chen sat down and looked up, only to see that there was no moon in the sky tonight, only a few sparse stars, and the starlight was much dimmer than before, just like Duanmu Chen's mood at the moment.

The moment he was disappointed with Situ Yao, he realized that he seemed to be really attracted to this woman. Because Situ Yao really suited his liking, and being with her made him feel very comfortable and relaxed.

But now Duanmu Chen is awake. He had always wanted to test Situ Yao, and what happened tonight finally gave him the answer.

In the final analysis, what disappointed Duanmu Chen was not the fact that Situ Yao cared about her natal relatives. Because Duanmu Chen would not like a cold-blooded woman.

The key is that Duanmu Chen discovered that Situ Yao was stupid.

Born into the royal family, Situ Yao should know that feelings are luxurious. When she was sent to the Kingdom of Qian by her grandfather as a chess piece in exchange for Situ Jing, and when Situ Jing said he felt sorry for her while allowing her to marry into the harem of the Kingdom of Qian, he should have understood that she wanted to settle down and live in the future. It was Duanmu Chen who relied on her, not those family members who didn't really care about her.

Originally a princess, Situ Yao is now a real princess in the Liang Kingdom. However, she is pregnant with Duanmu Chen's child, but she still stupidly defends the Liang Kingdom's royal family in front of Duanmu Chen. She still doesn't understand why. This is her home for the rest of her life, which is simply ridiculous.

Situ Yao was good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and being considerate. But she is obviously Situ Xie's good granddaughter, and she still is today, and she has shown her intention to use her emotions to influence Duanmu Chen's decision-making and thus help Situ Xie. Probably Duanmu Chen gave Situ Yao an illusion recently, making her really feel that she was the most special one in the harem.

In fact, this might not have been an illusion, as long as she chose the right position.

Unfortunately, Duanmu Chen was a little fascinated, and Situ Yao was also confused at the same time.

Duanmu Chen didn't have such high requirements for women, but he thought Situ Yao was smart. He likes smart people.

From this point of view, Ji Yueyan is much smarter than Situ Yao. At least she has seen the nature of the royal family clearly and has no nostalgia after leaving. The previous plan was actually not bad, but it was a pity that Su Liang was discovered. But she had a goal and had the courage to do it. She was willing to fight for her love even if it was dangerous.

Duanmu Chen's request for Situ Yao was just that she should wake up and plan for herself instead of thinking about things for some unworthy people.

From this perspective, Xing Yuyan is also stupid, but at least she is innocent, and Duanmu Chen can see through her thoughts at a glance.

Not to mention Su Liang, there was another very smart woman in Duanmu Chen's life, and that was his mother, Queen Mother Xiao. She relied on her natal family while avoiding being controlled by her natal family. She always kept a clear mind and became the most beloved concubine around Duanmu Yi. She also protected her son. Today, she is still helping Duanmu Chen manage the harem and avoid concubines. Conflicts arise between them.

Chang'an. Duanmu Chen suddenly spoke.

Chang An immediately responded and ran over, What are your orders, Your Majesty?

I want to eat the sauced pork buns made by Su Liang. Duanmu Chen said.

Chang'an was stunned for a moment and said weakly, It's too late now. Mrs. Gu must have gone to bed early because she is pregnant. And now Gu Hou is the one doing the cooking.

Duanmu Chen nodded, Gu Ling can do it too.

Chang'an: ...If he dares to ask Gu Ling to get up and steam buns, he is very likely to be beaten, and he feels that he deserves it...

Subordinate, go right away... Chang An said bravely.

Duanmu Chen stood up and walked over, Why are you going so late? I didn't say I wanted to eat now. Tomorrow I plan to pay a private visit to the Su Mansion incognito to see my godson. By the way, I chatted with Su Liang. His little pet peeve, after all, it was his best friend.
