After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 139 Brother 4 is incomparable to other brothers

Yuan Qing, holding a huge pile of official documents, pushed open the curtain with difficulty and entered the room.

Hearing him pretend, she rolled her eyes and said, "Stop whining, it's me."

Lu Zhao turned around and got up. When he saw that it was her, he lay down again and took out the book he had been reading.

"When do you plan to go to court to work?" Yuan Qing put the documents aside and moved a chair to sit beside the couch. "Those people kept asking me about you all day long. It was as if the Dali Temple was paralyzed without you."

Yuan Qing's tone was full of resentment.

That group of people seemed to have nothing to do all day long. They surrounded her and asked her all kinds of questions about Lu Zhao, which seriously affected her work efficiency.

Yuan Qing is a rookie who has just entered the officialdom. What else can he do? He just has to endure it.

She was almost sick of hearing those words like "I don't know" and "I haven't heard of it".

"Who cares about them?" Lu Zhao rested his head on his arm and picked up the document to flip through it casually. "They are not concerned about my injury at all. They are clearly here to get to know the truth. They want to know what major case I uncovered in Pingjin Prefecture that made the enemy want to kill me like this."

Yuan Qing suddenly realized, "Could it be that you..."

Lu Zhao lay down again. "I was just trying to trick them. I didn't expect that so many people would be desperate. Let's wait a little longer. There are still big fish that haven't taken the bait yet."

Yes, the ones who have appeared so far are all small characters, and it is still unknown who are behind them.

……

Wen Chengxuan has been in Beijing since his last return and has not left.

Wen Chenghua stayed in the mansion every day.

Even if someone invited him to a banquet, he would refuse on the grounds of feeling unwell, and then drink tea and play chess alone at home.

That's where his fun lies.

Wen Chengxuan had just returned from hanging out in a brothel. When she saw her fourth brother, she lifted her robe and sat down, bringing in a strong smell of cosmetics.

Wen Chenghua had never been able to touch these things since he was a child. He frowned and sat away holding the chess piece.

The two brothers grew up together, and Wen Chengxuan knew his fourth brother's habits, so he said jokingly: "Fourth brother, you dislike me again."

Wen Chenghua raised his eyes lazily, "You just found out?"

"Okay, okay, Fourth Brother is a man of integrity and a top-notch man in the world." Wen Chengxuan said with a smile, "But I haven't seen you have a woman by your side since you became an adult. Even when Mother suggested arranging a concubine for you, you refused openly or secretly.

Why, you don't like it?"

As he said that, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I know a lot of people. I'm sure I can pick out someone you like. I won't leave you alone like this."

Wen Chenghua stopped what he was doing and looked at him. "Does this have anything to do with whether you like it or not? If you don't want to, then you don't want to."

"Well, since I can't understand your thoughts, I'll just ignore you." Wen Chengxuan shrugged, "You haven't experienced it, so you naturally won't understand."

"Tell me, what happened?" Wen Chenghua said.

His sixth brother is the kind of person who would not come to see him unless there is something important. If there is anything that could make him leave his beautiful wife and come back to see him, then he must be in trouble.

After being pointed out by Wen Chenghua, Wen Chengxuan touched his nose guiltily.

Nothing can escape Fourth Brother's eyes.

"Have you heard about the Tongzhou incident?"

Wen Chenghua's eyes were clear and moist, "It has been reported to the capital, so of course I heard about it."

Wen Chengxuan seemed very interested. "Now that guy has come to Beijing and is working as an insignificant official in the Dali Temple. I heard that he follows Lu Zhao around all day long, like a puppy."

Wen Chenghua was not interested. He never paid much attention to these things. He just agreed with them: "He and Lu Zhao both came to Beijing with cases. Even if they were given official positions in the middle of the process, it was reasonable."

Wen Chengxuan would not mention this person for no reason. He most likely wanted to target Gong Bin and Lu Zhao, so he was testing his thoughts in this way.

Wen Chenghua took a few deep breaths and managed not to scold him on the spot and embarrass him.

He raised his head, no longer as carefree as before, and his tone became heavier, "No matter how they cause trouble, you cannot get involved, and you cannot voice your opinions in front of others, or else someone will catch you by the pigtails, and even my mother and I will not be able to protect you."

Wen Chengxuan had never seen his fourth brother like this before, and nodded blankly.

Wen Chenghua knew that he had said something a bit harsh, so he softened his tone and said, "I know you don't like what I say, but what does it matter if you are the emperor? Your Majesty is now diligent in government and loves the people, and you are good at governing the country. Even if you have that idea, you must not do it again. If you dare to do it, it will be a rebellion against your superiors, which is a serious crime of treason.

Sixth brother, have you ever thought about the situation of my mother and me? I don't ask for much, I just hope that you are all safe and sound.

Being born into a royal family is destiny. I don’t want those dirty things in history to happen to you and me, do you understand?”

If it were someone else, Wen Chengxuan would have lost his temper and started cursing after hearing this sermon.

But the man in front of him was his fourth brother. Even though they were not born from the same mother, he was the older brother who had protected him since childhood, and he was unlike any other brother.

Just based on this brotherly friendship, he would never speak badly to his fourth brother or lose his temper at him.

Fourth brother has always seen through all this, so he just listened.
