Kaju East City • Prince Huan's Mansion

"Sure enough, as the third brother expected, that Su Wanqiu has been paving the way to close the net recently."

Gong Wei was still sipping tea leisurely, and when he drank it out, he smiled lightly and filled the cups of himself and Gong Hao.

"Self-proclaimed clever fool."

"To say that little girl, her face is beautiful, and her temperament is indifferent and lonely, it really doesn't look like she is hiding her thoughts. If it weren't for Xiaohan telling me that it was a trap set by Lian Gui Ying, I was afraid that I would really be planted this time. ”

"You have never been a womanizer, so how could you be so clumsy in your calculations." Gong Wei didn't seem to like Gong Hao's self-indulgent jokes, and squinted at him and said, "When we caught the fifth child last year, he only said that he owed foreign debts and asked us for five million taels of silver. With so much money, I have to keep an eye on it. After a check, it was found that it was actually sent to the Taopin Building in Dongshi and made the redemption money of the peony champion at that time. ”

"Yes, the fifth child has never been a woman, and I was also puzzled at the beginning." Gong Hao smiled and blew on the steaming tea, "It turned out that we didn't know the beginning and end of him and Lian Gui Hotaru at that time. Looking at it now, it's not surprising. ”

"This old fifth is really insidious." When Gong Wei mentioned Gong Wei, he was depressed and irritable in his heart, "He has been mediocre for many years, but he has been pretending to be crazy and stupid, and he has been dormant with painstaking efforts." Who would have thought that our two brothers had worked hard to mediate with the palace for so many years, and finally the East Palace fell, and such a vicious dog in the way appeared! ”

"The fifth child's wrist is indeed clever. In terms of these years, the third brother is also upward. It's just that when the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows. Although you have won the title of meritorious service, you have also lost your reputation and the trust of your father. ”

"What else does Father have to say. Except for the second child who went, who of the four brothers did he trust? Gong Wei sneered, "I don't care about his trust for a long time. Now that he is declining, he has to take advantage of his confusion, except for the old five and the Lian family, it matters! ”

"My father's condition is not improving, and it is indeed a good opportunity for us to attack them." Gong Hao smiled, "It's not just us who think so. Isn't this that they can't bear to do it, and they are in a hurry to borrow Su Wanqiu, and want to break your arm? ”

"What arms... You are my brother. Gong Wei waved his hand, "It's just that Lian's move is really stupid, and it is really whimsical to want to turn things around with a maid." ”

"Although it is whimsical, the younger brother is really curious, what kind of alluring appearance should this peony champion who has been hidden by the snow be?"

"You said it as if you had seen it with your own eyes." Gong Wei glanced at Gong Hao again, and said angrily, "You have never recruited a wife or concubine over the years, how can you praise a lowly maid again and again today?" ”

"Don't blame the third brother, the younger brother is just curious." Gong Hao smiled and put the teacup aside, "As for the matter of wives and concubines... The third brother is diligent in political affairs and strict with himself, and has never been close to women over the years. With your example in front, the younger brother naturally did not dare to marry first. ”

"The Lihou of the DPRK is dominant, and the officials have no power. I thought that marrying the daughter of a petty official family would not only not help, but would cause a lot of trouble, so I did not marry. How did it come to your mouth that I became an obstacle to your marriage? ”

"Where are the words... Oh, it's so raw, why did the third brother talk about this! Gong Hao blushed slightly, closed his eyes and shook his head, "Getting back to business, how are you going to deal with this game, third brother?" ”

"If there's anything to deal with, just count it." Gong Wei pouted disdainfully, "If nothing happens, that maid must be going to let you out, and when you arrive—"

When the ministers arrived, they would disguise the pre-arranged men as the Tail Priests, and pretend that I would meet them. At that time, the fifth child will find a way to invite his father, and he will be able to cure my crime of rebellion. ”

"This is just our speculation, who knows if Lian will have any other plans. But as long as we understand their bad intentions, have good staff, and be careful in what we say and do, we can be prepared. ”

"They can't get empirical evidence, so naturally they can only use such tricks." Gong Hao chuckled, "Third brother rest assured, after setting up an ambush at the old market entrance, Lianyue Mountain captured the thief twice, and the younger brother is already experienced, and he will not suffer their losses again." ”

"Having said that, if you are in danger twice, you will not be willing to give up for your brother."

"Third brother, you and my brother, why do you talk like that." Gong Yu stood up, pushed open the door and walked to the porch, watching the spring rain drip down the eaves into the tea and plum blossom garden, "You are my dearest brother, and helping you to ascend to the throne is the biggest creed in my life." I am willing to do anything and sacrifice anything to achieve my goals. ”

The palace curtain was stunned, then put down the tea cup, slowly walked to the side of the palace curtain, and stared at the budding rouge tea plum under the corridor: "Are you doing this just to help me ascend to the throne?" ”

Gong Wei didn't realize that Gong Wei had said this, and turned his head to look at the brother beside him. He loves to play and make trouble since he was a child, can eat and sleep, and his body is half a head taller than the heavy palace curtains. At this moment, looking at his brother's thin and sharp face, he felt a little obscure sadness for no reason.

"Third brother, what you say... What do you mean? ”

Gong Wei turned around, and suddenly approached two steps towards Gong Hao, Gong Hu retreated in a hurry, and his back was cold, but he was already leaning on the cold wooden pillar wet by the rain.

"You..."Gong Wei's eyes had a lingering mood that Gong Hao had never seen before, like crystal water droplets trembling on the petals, "Are you serious, have you always only regarded me as your brother?" ”

Some slight coolness poured into the atrium through his back, and Gong Yu didn't feel that his body was a little trembling, and the rain was dripping on the eaves, and it seemed to be wisps, penetrating into his confused mind.

——

It has been raining for three consecutive days.

Concubine Yingzi Palace has been suspended in Wangqi Palace for six days, and will be sent to the imperial tomb tomorrow.

According to the plan, Wanqiu had already invited Gong Yu to meet yesterday. Since she had always claimed to be a member of the Fuyun Pavilion, we went to the Fuyun Pavilion in advance and chartered two rooms, one of which was used as a place for the two to meet, so as not to be suspicious.

And Sarong and I took a group of Gangfeng Banner elites, and ambushed in another room. Because I was seriously injured and had not recovered, Aunt Hua and Zhuo Ying originally did not approve of me coming. But I was afraid that the palace was cunning, and Sarong would not come, so I instructed Duan Ming to concentrate on his work and recuperate his injuries in Taopinlou, and he followed over despite everyone's opposition.

After everyone waited with bated breath for half an hour, I heard the man's footsteps and walked into Wanqiu's room next door.

Gong Hao is here.

"Your Highness—" I heard a little tense in my voice like an autumn immortal, "slave... Meet His Royal Highness the Four Princes. ”

"Miss Wanqiu doesn't have to be polite. Although you and I are meeting for the first time, we have been communicating for a long time before, and we are half confidants in the end. ”

"Although His Highness thinks that the slave family is a confidant, the slave is... Don't dare to forget your identity, don't dare to be arrogant in front of His Highness. ”

But he heard Gong Hao sneer: "Since the girl has a self-pitying background, wouldn't it be good to go back to the palace of the county with Xiao Wang to make a room, why do you have to stay in this unsightly place all day long?" ”

Wanqiu was startled, and hurriedly suppressed her panic and said calmly: "Your Highness... Your Highness, you are smiling. The body of a slave is lowly, and he is not worthy of sprinkling and serving, how can he do it—"

"—if you're really just a fool, it's not a lowly thing." Gong Hao's laughter made people's hairs stand on end, "But you were instructed by someone to do such a shameless deed." Miss Wanqiu, Xiao Wang really feels sorry for you! ”

Sarong exchanged a look of horror with me, and immediately rushed out the door to the next room. By the time I was helped by the dead man to the next door, there was already chaos in front of me—Sarong pulled out his jade sword and pointed at the palace guard outside Zhang Xu, who had already grabbed Wanqiu in his arms and pressed a sharp dagger against Wanqiu's white neck.

"Put the dagger down!"

"Put your sword down."

As he spoke, Gong Yu moved the dagger half an inch towards Wanqiu's neck. The crimson blood leaked out in an instant, sliding through Wanqiu's collarbone and flowing into the small clothes.

Sarong was stunned, although his eyes were still staring at Gong Yu tightly, his arm had slowly moved away, and with a bang, he threw the jade sword to the floor.

"Let go."

Gong Hao didn't pay attention to Sarong, but slowly moved his gaze to me at the door, and opened a grim smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, this king is still thinking, why isn't the girl in the palace to accompany the fifth brother?" It turned out that he was hiding in the Taopin Building, plotting this stupid thing with these minions of yours. ”

"How do you know?"

"Xiaohan has been hiding under your noses for so long, do you think he won't know the famous peony champion?" The tip of Gong Hao's nose rubbed back and forth on Wanqiu's sideburns, "But fortunately, it was not debunked at that time, otherwise this king would not have the opportunity to kiss Fang Ze today......"

"Gong Hu!" I was so shocked that my lower stomach throbbed, "You stay away from Wanqiu, or I'll kill you!" ”

"Even if the girl wants to kill the king, it's not a day or two, so why bother to kill today, I don't have to drag down the life of the beauty." Gong Hao laughed again, "I'm not afraid to tell you, this king is also prepared today, and at this moment, half of the troops of the palace have been gathered outside the Fuyun Pavilion." If the king does not go out after half an hour, they will break in and slaughter everyone here. ”

As soon as these words came out, Sarong turned back to me and smiled, I covered my wounds, and shouted to the next door: "You all heard it, don't go quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

The fifty Gangfeng Banner dead soldiers who were originally lurking next door with me and Sarong immediately responded to the news in unison and quickly rushed downstairs.

After the chaotic footsteps were gone, the shocked look on Gong Yu's face still never faded, and he suddenly looked at me with a hideous face: "You didn't go to invite your father—you already knew that this king knew......"

I laughed and didn't say anything.

"—even if... Even if you can get rid of my people, even if you return to Hotaru, do you dare to kill me! ”

"Tell me the truth, I'm here to take your life today."

"You're crazy!" Gong Yu suddenly roared angrily, trembling and pushing the dagger in his hand to Wanqiu's neck for a few more minutes, "This king is the prince of the dynasty, do you want to drag these friends of yours to die with you!" ”

"Sarong!"

Sa Rong's body method was extremely fast, and he suddenly waved his long sleeves to Gong Yu, and the thick smoke of bright pink billowed out. Before Gong Hao could scream, his hand had already unloaded his strength, and the dagger fell to the ground with a dull sound, and then he himself fell down heavily, unconscious and unconscious.
