Chapter 135 Wen Chengyu is ill
Wen Chengxuan has been staying in the capital since he returned to Beijing last time.
Wen Chenghua stayed in his mansion every day. Even if someone came to invite him, he was too lazy to go out and would rather drink tea and play chess at home.
Wen Chengxuan had just returned from hanging out in a brothel. When she saw the four people, she lifted her robe and sat down, bringing with her a scent of powder.
Wen Chenghua frowned and sat further away holding the chess piece.
Wen Chengxuan leaned over and said, "Fourth brother, you dislike me again."
Wen Chenghua raised his eyes lazily, "You just found out?"
"Okay, okay, I know you are a chaste woman, but I have never seen you have a woman by your side since you became an adult. Even when mother suggested arranging a concubine for you, you refused it openly or secretly. Why, you don't like it?"
Wen Chenghua stopped what he was doing and looked at him: "This has nothing to do with whether you like it or not. If you don't want to, then you don't want to."
"Alright," Wen Chengxuan shrugged, "Fourth brother, you are a fairy in heaven, and I am a mortal on earth, okay."
He leaned on Fourth Brother's shoulder like a spoiled child, his whole body smelling of powder and make-up.
Wen Chenghua endured it again and again before he refrained from overturning the table and leaving in anger.
He freed one hand and pushed the man on his shoulder away, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't use these tricks."
The two brothers grew up together, and Wen Chengxuan naturally understood his temperament, so he stopped fighting and sat up straight to talk.
"Fourth brother, have you heard about the incident in Tongzhou?"
Wen Chenghua's eyes were clear and moist, "It has already been reported to the capital, so I naturally heard about it."
Wen Chengxuan said excitedly: "Now that kid has come to Beijing, 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, so he just agreed with them: "He and Lu Zhao both came to Beijing with cases. Even if they were granted official positions halfway through, it was reasonable."
"Although it is reasonable, his promotion is too fast," Wen Chengxuan said dissatisfiedly.
"If we talk about being promoted quickly, then Lu Zhao is even faster than him," Wen Chenghua suddenly looked at him, "Or, you just have a problem with Gong Bin?"
Wen Chengxuan touched his nose awkwardly when his brother pointed out his real concern.
He just doesn't like that guy.
Wen Chenghua said, "No matter what, his title was approved by His Majesty himself. No matter how much you disagree with him, you must not voice it in front of others. Otherwise, if someone catches you by the hair, even my mother and I will not be able to protect you."
If it was someone else, Wen Chengxuan would have lost his temper long ago 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 still his fourth brother who had protected him since childhood.
Just based on this brotherly friendship, he would never speak badly to his fourth brother or get angry with him.
……
Yuan Qing didn't have a house in the capital, so he could only stay at Lu Zhao's house temporarily.
The Lu residence was originally the residence of a duke. After the entire family was executed, the house was put aside because it occupied too much space and has never been divided up.
And I heard that the house was haunted later, so no one dared to buy it.
Even the houses around here were mostly empty, as people were afraid that the goods might be contaminated by dirty things and affect the delivery.
But Lu Zhao didn't believe these things.
He asked the court for one third of the house and occupied the east courtyard.
The person in charge of the house was eager to give up this troubled place, so he immediately sold the house to Lu Zhao, the big villain, at a super low price.
It's strange to say, although he could still hear strange noises every night, Lu Zhao still acted as if nothing had happened. He went to court as usual and went to bed as usual, without being affected at all.
Yuan Qing stayed in Lu Zhao for a few days.
She didn't believe in such things at first.
But ever since all sorts of bizarre things happened around her, she always felt that there might really be creatures other than humans and existing species in this world.
They have their own survival rules and regulations, and coexist with humans in the same space without interfering with each other, yet relying on each other.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qing no longer felt terrified.
She climbed up the wall in the middle of the night and looked from afar at the still empty west courtyard on the other side of the main courtyard.
The location is good, the price is low, and there is a ready-made view.
Perhaps I could bring this matter up with the palace, so that she would have a place to stay.
In the next few days, Yuan Qing went to the Dali Temple as usual. As soon as she entered the door, she was blocked in the courtyard by the greetings she received.
Yuan Qing couldn't pretend to ignore it because of his colleague's face, so he could only respond one sentence at a time.
She knew clearly in her heart that these people came only to find out about Lu Zhao's situation.
She thought about Lu Zhao's plan, so she blurred some things out and told them.
Those people were sent away by Yuan Qing's kind words, but they were still racking their brains before leaving.
Although I got an answer, it seemed like I didn't get anything out of it. I wanted to go back and ask again, but when I turned around, Gong Bin was gone.
Yuan Qing picked up his robe to wipe his hands, then leaned against the door and gasped.
These people are really something. They ask her the same question every day and she can recite it by heart.
If Lu Zhao didn't take up her post, she would probably be torn to pieces by this group of people.
Before everyone could get an answer, they heard that Lu Zhao had been secretly summoned into the palace by His Majesty for a secret conversation all night.
No one in the palace knew what was discussed.
Immediately afterwards, shocking news came from the palace.
Your Majesty is ill and the Prime Minister is temporarily in charge of the government.
Lu Zhao disappeared from that day on and never returned to Lu's house.
Yuan Qing locked the main room for him.
Whenever someone asked him about it, Yuan Qing would reply that he didn't know.
She really didn't know that Lu Zhao left the morning after entering the palace without saying goodbye to anyone.
Wen Chengxuan, who was still carefree, suddenly sat up, pushed the concubine away, and hurried back, "Is this true?"
The attendant quickened his pace and followed him, "Your Highness, this matter has spread all over the palace and outside the palace, it must be true."
As soon as he entered the door, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Great, great, my chance has finally come!"
The attendant hurried to close the door, still admonishing him: "Oh, my Lord, please be more careful. You can't say anything nonsense at this critical moment!"
Wen Chengxuan, who was laughing loudly, suddenly fell silent, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Except you, no one else heard it, right?"
The follower rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk.
Following such a master, he was very tired.
Wen Chenghua walked out of the house, glanced at him and said, "I heard it."
"It's okay if Fourth Brother hears it, as long as others don't know." Wen Chengxuan didn't seem to care. "Besides, I've always been like this. It's okay if I don't have a share in the throne, but as long as there is a chance, I will definitely fight for it. They know that, and even if it comes to the court, I can explain it clearly."
Wen Chenghua sighed.
Even when his sixth brother fought for the throne, he did it openly and honestly and never engaged in any conspiracy behind the scenes. However, it was this style of behavior that made it easier for others to find fault with him.
It is because His Majesty is kind-hearted and unwilling to harm his brothers, otherwise he would not be alive today.
