Gu Xichao bowed down and agreed, and turned around. The pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info Wanrong was helpless, so she had to let Shan'er, a maid whose massage technique was far inferior to Sakura's, come closer, serve herself to relieve her fatigue, and wait for Sakura's arrival.

I waited for more than an hour, and it wasn't until the third watch that Gu Xichao led Wanrong's brother Duguhun into Wanrong's bedroom with a panicked face.

Duguhun is Wanrong's half-brother, ten years older than Wanrong, and now he is in his prime, but judging by his description and behavior, he still looks like a half-grown child who has not yet reached adulthood. If you just look at his eyebrows and eyes, he is also three points similar to the graceful face that can be called the national color, but in his gestures, he does not have the maturity and stability that an adult man should have, but has some stubbornness and obscenity that is not commensurate with his actual age.

More than a month ago, there was a food shortage in Chang'an City, so much so that even Wanrong's mother's family was embarrassed to open the pot. After the emperor overheard about this, out of good intentions, he promoted Duguhun and Jing Xuan's brother Jing Zhao to make a thousand cattle preparation for the four-rank martial arts, and gave him a messenger to assist Wu Bi in maintaining law and order in the capital, intending to add a piece of money and food to Wanrong's mother's family, so as not to make the dignified and father-in-law's family starve.

But what the emperor and Wanrong did not expect was that this Dugu Hun and Jing Zhao came to the post together, not at all like Jing Zhao's young age, so he focused on the messenger, worked hard all night, and was diligent in the emperor's order, but he would only extort money and goods everywhere with the stinky posture of the uncle and the official of Jingzhao Mansion, but in the tenth month, he earned the notoriety of "reaching out to the national uncle" for himself, and was so angry that Wanrong passed him into Yaohua Palace, and started the family law on behalf of his father, and beat a brother who was ten years older than himself to beat 20 boards, pointing to the direction of Baoxiang Palace to admonish Dugu Hun to learn from Jing Zhao. I don't want him to add luster to his face like Jing Zhao, I just ask my brother to stop smearing his face. Speaking of sadness at that time, Wanrong also shed a few tears. Duguhun was scolded by his sister, but he didn't react with a trace of shame, and behaved like a child who had done something wrong in front of Wanrong, crying like a pig with his throat pulled out, swearing to the sky, and assuring his sister that he would never dare to do evil outside again.

At the beginning of Gu Xichao's arrangement by Shang Jing to serve as the eunuch in charge of Wanrong Palace, according to Shang Jing's guidance, he once presented a whole shipload of gold and silver goods to Wanrong's maiden family as a gift for his visit. Wanrong secretly thought in her heart that she had obtained so much wealth in her family, so her brother would not be incompetent for money, and would go around reaching out to extort money. In fact, just as she imagined, since she accepted Gu Xichao's entire ship of gold and silver goods, Duguhun has indeed become honest and responsible, and the figure of this "uncle who reaches out to the country" can no longer be seen in front of the shops of the wealthy merchants and magnates in the east and west of Chang'an.

But the good times didn't last long, on the day when the emperor sent a decree to the harem and ordered all the concubines to abandon the city and run east with him, Wanrong received a message that made her heart tremble: Dugu paid a high price of 20,000 yuan and hired the world's number one killer in the rivers and lakes, Xin Twelve Niang, the little sister in "Fan Sanshu", to kill Jing Zhao for her. This surprise is not trivial, if the emperor learns about this, then not only Duguhun's life is not guaranteed, but her whole family, including herself, will be affected and fall into a situation from which she will never recover.

Wanrong was frightened, and hurriedly ordered Ying'er to take a letter she wrote to her father, and rushed out of the palace to her mother's house, so as to stop Duguhun's rebellious behavior before the catastrophe happened.

But Ying'er has gone, but there has been no news so far, but her trouble-breaking brother actually fled to Shaanzhou with the emperor.

"Are my father and the whole family safe?" Wanrong was hindered by the presence of Shan'er and Gu Xichao in the tent, so it was inconvenient to turn her face with her brother on the spot, so she suppressed the anger in her chest and asked coldly.

"If you go back to your mother, it's all good, it's all good." Dugu bowed down to his sister and bowed deeply, avoiding her gaze, and replied with a squeak.

"You two stand down. Our brother and sister have something to say. Wanrong lightly instructed Gu Xichao and the others, and when the servants and others all obeyed the order and retreated outside the tent, then her face sank, and she asked her brother, "Ying'er, can you see it?" Is that a stop? ”

Dugu Hun replied: "What is the matter that Niangniang said? I was urgently called home by my father in the yamen, and I didn't even have time to catch my breath, so I ran out of Chang'an with the old family. Did the mother tell Sakura to find me, I don't know why? ”

Wanrong's heart fell, and she secretly said that her voice was not good, and at this time, she didn't care about asking her brother about Ying'er's whereabouts, so she only asked with concern: "Jing Zhao, do you know where he is now?" ”

Dugu frowned slightly, and said with a forced smile: "I, how do I know where Jing Zhao is now?" How did the mother remember to ask him for no reason? My father and mother have not yet been settled, and if my mother has nothing else to do, I will leave. ”

Wanrong saw that he was still pretending to be stupid in front of him, and in a fit of anger, he smashed the tea bowl in his hand towards Dugu Hun hard, and scolded: "You are a bold person, do you still want this palace to expose what you are doing behind your back?" Today I'll tell you honestly, Jing Zhao is okay, if he has three long and two short, you don't have to go to see your father, find a proper place by yourself, and break it yourself. ”

Duguhun turned sideways to avoid the tea bowl that Wanrong smashed at him, raised his leg and ran out of the tent, and said quibbly as he ran: "I didn't do anything wrong, sister, why do you treat me so fiercely?" If the Tubo people invaded Chang'an and killed Jing Zhao, it would also be counted on my head? With that, he rolled out of the graceful bedchamber and trotted away.

Dugu Hun's words before leaving the account woke up Wanrong, yes, even if it is really as he got the information report, his brother hired a murderer, then if Jing Zhao was killed in Chang'an City, and happened to encounter the Tubo people attacking Chang'an, and when the emperor inquired about this matter in the future, he could completely blame Jing Zhao's death on the Tubo people, so it could be a kind of statement that could be concealed. Thinking about this, Wanrong's heart gradually relaxed, and a thick sleepiness followed, she didn't even bother to call Shan'er outside the tent to come in, so she fell on the temporary bed and sank into Mengxiang.

Nothing was said all night. The next day, just after the fifth watch, the clouds outside the tent were already bright, and hundreds of birds were contending. Wanrong was lying alone in the tent, still half-asleep and half-awake, and in a trance, she saw Sakura lift the curtain and walk in, and bowed to herself Yingying and said: "Long live the Lord last night called me to sleep, and I rushed to ask my mother to come early this morning......

Wanrong turned over to her heart with a sense of jealousy, and was thinking about what to find to cure this little goblin who kicked her nose and face, but suddenly heard another clear and familiar voice calling to her from the side of the bed: "Niangniang, the maid escaped from Chang'an overnight." Wake up, I have something important to report. ”

Wan Rongqiang opened her eyes, and saw that it was Sakura herself standing in front of her bed, and she couldn't help but realize that she had fallen into a nightmare, so she covered her mouth with her hand, yawned heavily, and asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”

"Mother." Ying'er actually knelt down in front of Wanrong's bed, and said silently, "Concubine Hui was martyred outside the Chengtian Gate last night!" (To be continued.) )
