"So...my sister is with the dog emperor?" In a village outside the city, a man in white asked suspiciously.
"This is the message from the palace."
The man frowned and walked a few steps with a worried look on his face: "I heard that the dog emperor is cruel and bloodthirsty. Isn't it dangerous for my sister to stay with him?"
"She is now the head aunt and is deeply trusted by the emperor... her life will not be in danger for the time being."
The man stood up and said, "No, this is not a good thing."
"how?"
The man said: "She is deeply trusted by the emperor and is closer to him. Will they use my sister to assassinate the emperor?"
Will my sister still be alive at that time?
The more the man thought about it, the more he thought this was possible. He strode to leave, but was stopped by her.
"Mr. An, you'd better stay here and don't run around."
"What do you mean?" Master An asked angrily.
"We don't mean to embarrass you, but... our great cause has not yet been accomplished. We can't ruin it for our own selfish desires."
Master An frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him. After a moment, he said viciously, "You really want to use my sister."
"I'm not using her. She was originally a thorn in the side of our Chu State." That person smiled and said, "But it seems...she doesn't care much about you as her brother."
An Tai said angrily: "Stop trying to sow discord."
That guy just smiled and said nothing more.
Xiao Jin's death was very suspicious. Chu Guo suspected An Jiu but had no evidence.
So it would be a pity to throw it away, but I would also feel uneasy to eat it.
So on this day, An Jiu found another note on the table in his room.
Ask An Jiu to wait at a place at the time and place specified on the note.
"What are you waiting for?" An Jiu put the note on the table and showed it to the emperor: "It must be to give me a task and let me do something."
The emperor held the note and took a look at it, squinting his eyes slightly, obviously thinking about something.
[What the fool says makes sense...]
[She is such a good chess piece, it would be a waste for the Chu State not to use her. 】
【But……】
An Jiu was anxious: But what? Come on, tell me...
[But I always feel like something is wrong...]
An Jiu: "..."
So what's wrong?
ah?
Come on, tell me!
What's wrong?
"Your Majesty, how about notifying Imperial Doctor Jiang to ambush and capture him?" An Jiu felt that this was a very safe approach, as they could capture the contact person and interrogate him slowly.
The emperor laughed: "What if they threaten you with your brother and the contact is caught? They will confirm that you are a spy and kill your brother..."
An Jiu: "..."
Brother, why don't you take care of yourself?
We have never met and I am not your sister. Can you understand me?
But my brother's life is also his life...
The original owner had such a relative, even if An Jiu didn't save him, he couldn't let him die in her hands.
She was a bit troubled.
The emperor was in the same dilemma as she was.
He didn't care if the Chu spy died, but what if this spy was his future brother-in-law?
He had to pretend that he cared a lot, because even if An Tai was going to die, he couldn't die in his hands, so as not to affect the relationship between him and his wife in the future.
So the two looked at each other.
An Jiu asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, what should we do then?"
"I still think there's something wrong with this meeting." Concubine Shu was very disapproving of Nanny Yang taking the risk of dragging Xiaojiu into this.
"If she comes, it means she is fine. If she doesn't come..." Nanny Yang sneered: "That little girl must have betrayed us."
When the news came from outside the palace, Nanny Yang was the happiest.
The emperor had concubines around him, including the first Xiaochun, the third Xiaoxia, the sixth Xiaoqiu, and the ninth Xiaodong...
All of them were killed.
The rest can only work as a maid in the outer palace.
They couldn’t even see the emperor or enter the Guanghua Palace, let alone work for them.
It's of no use at all.
Unexpectedly...
This Xiaojiu is actually their cousin.
"If she helps, the dog emperor will definitely die." Nanny Yang laughed.
Concubine Shu frowned and looked at her.
She felt that things would not be that simple.
That Xiaojiu must be very capable to be the head of Guanghua Palace, and the emperor is young and handsome, maybe they have that kind of relationship...
She didn't believe that a brother she hadn't seen for many years could make Xiaojiu give up the one thing she had now and betray the emperor.
Once this Xiaojiu turns against us...
That would be disadvantageous to them.
But Nanny Yang would not listen to Concubine Shu at all. In the eyes of outsiders, they were master and servant, but in reality, Nanny Yang was given to her by the prince, saying that it was to assist her, but in fact it was to monitor her.
but……
Concubine Shu was willing to do so.
Back then, after her parents died and she had no means of livelihood, she had no choice but to sell herself into the largest brothel in Chu State. In addition to working every day, she also had to learn from those girls how to serve customers.
The girls looked glamorous on the outside, but they actually suffered a lot. In the end, they either died of illness or were bought by wealthy families as concubines.
At worst...
Like the previous courtesan, when she was found, she had been dead for a long time, chopped up beyond recognition, and was found when she was dead and could not die anymore.
Kan is a minor official in the government office. He likes the oiran, and in order to keep her, he sells his house and land. When he becomes penniless, the oiran can only go out to pick up customers to make a living, which makes him dissatisfied. He says that the oiran has betrayed their love.
He killed her...
The body was discovered by Concubine Shu. She was so frightened that she couldn't even shout for help...
At this time, a man helped her up.
Is a young and handsome man.
He smiled and told her not to be afraid.
He often came to the brothel, but only to drink tea or listen to the girls sing.
He is good-looking, good-tempered, generous, and very popular in the building.
Many girls secretly like him.
Concubine Shu was no exception.
She thought naively at the time that if Ruonan was really a good person, he might be able to take her out of the sea of suffering...
So one day, she couldn't stand the beating from the madam and the customers taking advantage of her from time to time, so she went to the man for help.
She begged him to take her away.
"Sir, I can do a lot of things. I can wash clothes and cook. I can do everything. Please save me and take me away, okay?"
leave……
The man smiled.
"Are you really willing to follow me?" There was a teardrop mole under the corner of his left eye, and when he spoke, he looked even more romantic and affectionate...
So she agreed without hesitation.
He brought her to a village where there were many other young girls. They studied poetry, songs, calligraphy, and painting together.
That was the happiest time of her life.
A few years later, she grew into a young lady, and the boy would occasionally come to see them. Many people secretly fell in love with him, and Concubine Shu was no exception. But she could occasionally smell the strange rose scent on the boy's body, which could only be purchased by the courtesan or rich girls in the brothel.
He often goes to that kind of place...
What are you going to do?
Her imagination ran wild and she began to feel uneasy.
Later, all the girls in the village were sent away, and she was no exception. On the day of her departure, it was raining outside and her husband did not come. She really wanted to tell him her feelings, but unfortunately she had no chance.
She sat on the boat, her heart full of melancholy and fear about the future.
Until she saw a familiar figure standing on the shore. He was still so tall and handsome, holding an umbrella, and her face could not be seen...
Concubine Shu cried.
She waved her hands vigorously, but the person did not respond.
