175. Chapter 175 Wu Brothers

The next morning, Wu Furong came to the mansion of King Wu Sansi of Liang. She had a very good personal relationship with Wu Dingxiang. I don’t know how many times I have been here, but I am already familiar with the road and no need for a servant to report to her, so she went straight into the inner house.

After Wu Dingxiang became a widow, she lived with her parents. She lived in the east courtyard of the inner house. It was a small courtyard with beautiful scenery and elegant shape. In front were five or six living rooms and an outer study room, on both sides were maids' rooms, and behind was an exquisite small building.

Wu Furong walked to the east inner courtyard. A maid standing at the door was about to report, but Wu Furong stopped her with a smile, "No need to report, I want to scare her."

Wu Furong often attacked Wu Dingxiang in a daze, which was also her great pleasure. She tiptoed into the yard and faintly heard laughter coming from the other side of the study.

‘Who is Dingxiang chatting with?’ She was curious and secretly approached the study window, but the situation in the room made her stunned.

Wu Dingxiang was standing in front of the table and writing with his pen. A man stood behind her, holding her hand to teach her to write, while the man's other hand gently hugged Wu Dingxiang's slender waist. The two of them were frowning and affectionate.

At this time, a maid saw Wu Furong and hurriedly reported: "Girl, Miss Furong is here!"

Wu Furong had not seen the man's face clearly yet, so she was so scared that she quickly took a few steps back, turned around and glared at the maid fiercely, pretending to have just entered the yard, and asked with a smile: "Dingxiang, where are you?"

After a moment, Wu Dingxiang walked out of the study room, her face flushed and her eyes were a little flustered. She stepped forward and bowed, "Why are sister here?"

"I have something to ask you for help?"

"Oh... Let's talk about it when you enter the room!"

Wu Furong followed her into the study room. The man was gone, but the man's aura could still be felt in the room. If it were the same, Wu Furong would definitely ask the truth, who was that man?

But today she asked Dingxiang for Wu, so she didn't dare to say anything. She glanced at the banner on the table and asked with a smile: "Is sister practicing calligraphy?"

"Um!"

Wu Dingxiangman agreed carelessly and immediately changed the topic, "Is there anything wrong with my sister looking for me?"

Wu Furong sat down and briefly said her purpose, and finally said, "I heard that Uncle San is responsible for the aftermath of the White Horse Temple. I am very worried that I will be involved in the Xue Huaiyi case. Can my sister tell me about it for me?"

Wu Dingxiang thought for a while and said, "Last night, my father also talked about Xue Huaiyi's case. He said that he found that many ministers had secretly interacted with Xue Huaiyi and found a bunch of letters, including Zong Chuke and Su Weidao, the letters written by the two prime ministers to Xue Huaiyi. The letters were full of flattery and even the letters of loyalty from Lai Junchen. My sister just entrusted Xue Huaiyi's favor to save her father. Compared to these ministers, my sister's problem is nothing, so why should I take it to my heart."

Having said that, Wu Furong knew in her heart that she was not as simple as asking for favors. She helped Xue Huaiyi deal with Shangguan Wan'er and helped Wei Tuaner hide Wei Yuan'er. There are clear evidences.

For example, in her letter to Xue Huaiyi, she talked about how to arrange animal trainers and beasts in Mianchi. As long as she saw this letter, she would immediately guess the truth about Dongshou setting up an ambush.

But she couldn't tell Wu Dingxiang directly. Wu Furong thought to herself, "My father is right. I can't let my third uncle catch my father's handle. I have to go to Princess Taiping."

Wu Furong stopped talking about this. She was anxious. She exchanged a few greetings and stood up to say goodbye. Wu Dingxiang was also uneasy and did not try to keep her and sent her out of the mansion.

After leaving Prince Liang's Mansion, Wu Furong came directly to Princess Taiping's mansion, and a butler took her directly to the polo court in the mansion.

Princess Taiping’s polo field covers an area of ​​about twenty acres. On the court, more than a dozen polo players were riding horses and swinging their polos. The game was very fierce. On the side of the polo court, Princess Taiping also changed into a poloist outfit, holding a club in her hand, and directed the game loudly.

In the past two days, Princess Taiping was in a bad mood. In the battle against Xue Huaiyi, she lost to Shangguan Wan'er. Shangguan Wan'er gained a lot of political benefits, and her mother trusted her more. She could even represent her mother to attend the affairs of the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall and have a say in major government affairs.

Not only that, her mother's advice to her was even more obedient, which made Princess Taiping very jealous. The emperor was her mother, but she was not as powerful as Shangguan Wan'er.

At this time, a maid quickly came to her and bowed, "Your Highness, Miss Furong is here."

Princess Taiping turned around and saw Wu Furong standing by the side of the court from afar. She smiled and said, "Please come here!"

Soon, Wu Furong was brought over by her maid, and she saluted respectfully, "See Your Highness the Princess!"

Princess Taiping smiled and held her hand affectionately, "Why did Furong think of coming to see me?"

"It's okay, I'm just here to see A Gu."

How smart Princess Taiping is. She saw the worry between Wu Furong's eyebrows and eyes, and knew that she had something to ask for her. She pulled Wu Furong to sit down on the wooden platform, pointing to Zhang Changzong who was riding a horse on the court in the distance and smiled happily: "Liulang's polo is really good, and it is also excellent in other aspects. He can sing and flute well. I like him very much. Thank you for giving him to me."

Wu Furong knew in her heart that everyone likes Zhang Changzong, a man who is as charming as Zhang Changzong likes him, including herself, and the taste of the bed in her still unforgettable.

But Wu Furong was worried at this time and couldn't get enough of interest, so she had to force her to smile, "Just as long as the princess likes it!"

Princess Taiping keenly captured her emotional changes and asked with a smile: "How are your father?"

"My father is fine. He really wants to visit A ​​Gu, it depends on when A Gu has time?"

"I can do it anytime! I am very willing to treat your father, so why not just set it tonight! Please come to my mansion, Furong, too, let's have a good chat."

Princess Taiping did not hide her desire to establish a deeper relationship with Wu Chengsi, which made Wu Furong feel a glimmer of hope. She whispered: "A Gu, I have one more thing to ask you for help."

"You said, as long as I can do my best to help."

“That’s right…”

Wu Furong hesitated and told Princess Taiping that she had two letters in Xue Huaiyi's hands. If Wu Sansi found out, once presented to the emperor, she might have life worries.

Although Wu Furong did not say the content of the letter, the extremely smart Princess Taiping also guessed something. If she was not mistaken, it should be related to the Dongshou assassination case. She actually knew that Wu Furong and Dongshou assassination case were involved.

Princess Taiping bowed her head and said nothing. Wu Furong was even more worried. She asked in a low voice: "Auntie is there any difficulties?"

There is no difficulty for Princess Taiping. She can directly get Wu Furong's letter through Su Wei Dao. In fact, she has obtained evidence that Lai Junchen had submitted to Xue Huaiyi.

But she was considering using this to bring Wu Furong into her own hands. Although Wu Furong was cruel and ruthless, she had ordinary abilities, but Wu Chengsi's secret organization, the Wu family generals, were in her hands.

If the Wu family generals could be incorporated into their Taiping Mansion, and Xue Huaiyi's martial monk had been destroyed, then her new Taiping Mansion would be the best.

Not only is it far superior to Shangguan Wan'er's Shangqing Tower, but it is also beyond Lai Junchen's black official and Wu Sansi's military general hall, and it is not even weaker than the inner guard.

Although Princess Taiping has mastered half of the inner guards through Wan Guojun, after all, the inner guards are her mother's secret organization, and she is not easy to use, so she still has some taboos. Taiping Mansion is her organization, so she can certainly use them without any scruples.

At this moment, Princess Taiping secretly made up her mind that she would use Wu Furong's incident to make her willingly hand over the Wu family general to herself.

Wu Furong said goodbye and left, and Princess Taiping was still lowering her head and thinking about her thoughts. How can she gain Wu Chengsi's wealth and power into her own hands?

At this time, cheers rang out in the polo court. Zhang Changzong scored a goal and woke Princess Taiping from her thoughts. She felt something. Looking back, she saw Gao Jian standing behind her in silence.

Gao Jian’s appearance at this time reminded her of her former husband again. A trace of tenderness appeared in her heart and asked with a soft smile: “Why is it coming silently?”

Gao Jian said coldly: "I'm here to tell you something. Just now, Wu Sansi came to visit Wu Chengsi."

Princess Taiping couldn't help but be stunned. What did Wu Sansi do when she visited Wu Chengsi?

.........

Wu Sansi came to visit her in person, which not only surprised Princess Taiping, but also Wu Chengsi himself was really surprised. However, even though he was surprised, Wu Chengsi still welcomed her out of the door in person.

"Which gust of fragrant wind blows my brother?" Wu Chengsi came out with a smile.

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi are the brothers of uncles and the two nephews of Wu Zetian, one is named King of Wei and the other is named King of Liang. However, since the day they took office, they have become rivals.

In fact, the two have not had a good relationship since childhood, but they fought for a little profit at that time, and the impact was not great, so they could barely get through each other's face.

But since they had power in their hands, and Wu Zetian had hinted that one of them would succeed to the throne, the two began to be incompatible. Not only that, the two also formed their own formations, tearing the Wu family into two factions, King of Wei and King of Liang. Even Wu Zetian was very worried about this.

Shortly after Wu Chengsi failed to compete for the position of crown prince last year, the relics and poisonous cases broke out continuously, causing Wu Chengsi to suffer an unprecedented severe setback.

But today Wu Sansi actually visited the door, and even the warrior guarding the gate was secretly surprised.

Wu Sansi laughed and said, "I should have been here to visit my brother a long time ago, but I have busy affairs and I have no time until now. Please forgive me!"

"I'm very happy if you can come and see me. Come! Come! Let's go into the house and sit."

Wu Chengsi intimately walked Wu Sansi into the palace, and came to the guest hall with a smile. The two of them sat down with the guests and hosts, and talked about their youth. When they talked about their fun, they both laughed.

After chatting for a while, Wu Sansi took a sip of tea and said without saying a word: "I just heard Dingxiang say that Furong's niece came to see me in the morning. Has she returned home?"

"I'll ask."

Wu Chengsi waved to call a maid and said to her, "Go and see if the second girl is back. If she is back, let her come here."

The maid bowed and walked quickly. Wu Sansi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "This time, the emperor ordered me to investigate the remaining party of Xue Huaiyi. It has only been two days since Xue Huaiyi formed a private party. The result is shocking. I guess many people are in trouble."

Wu Chengsi's eyelids twitched twice. What did Wu Sansi mean by saying this?

At this time, Wu Furong hurried in from outside. She had just returned and was found by her father before she could go back to her room.

Wu Furong was secretly surprised when she heard that Uncle San was there. At the same time, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart. If Uncle San could solve the problem of Xue Huaiyi for her, she would no longer have to ask Princess Taiping.

She walked into the guest hall and bowed to Wu Sansi, "See Uncle San!"

"Haha! Furong's niece is becoming more and more pretty."

Wu Sansi smiled and asked Wu Furong to sit down. Then he took out two letters and said meaningfully: "These are two letters I found when I checked Xue Huaiyi's letters. My niece should know it!"

Wu Furong's heart was pounding. She recognized the two letters, which were the private letters she wrote to Xue Huaiyi. They not only contained stingy words of loyalty, but also some suggestions for the winter hunting. She was restless for these two letters day and night, but she didn't expect that the third uncle would actually take them out.

"Uncle San, can you... return it to me?" Wu Furong looked at Wu Sansi pleaded.

"Of course I can't let my niece be implicated by Xue Huaiyi, so I came to return it to my niece."

Wu Sansi smiled and handed the letter to Wu Furong. Wu Furong took the letter and held them tightly in her hand. Her hands were so excited that she was a little trembling.

Wu Chengsi, who was standing beside him, couldn't sit still anymore, and the result was really beyond his expectations. Could it be that Wu Sansi changed his nature and was ready to reconcile with him?

Wu Sansi sighed and said sincerely to Wu Chengsi: "In the past, our brothers might have misunderstood, and some unpleasant things happened. The emperor also repeatedly warned us brothers to unite and the Wu family to unite. I hope that our brothers can give up their past grudges and work together."

Although Wu Sansi said something like a smear of honey, Wu Chengsi sneered in his heart, saying that he was just because he was in trouble and was not qualified to compete with him as the prince, so he came to win over him.

Although he understood Wu Sansi's purpose, Wu Chengsi would rather surrender to Princess Taiping, especially when he always suspected that the relics case was Wu Sansi manipulated behind the scenes, and he framed himself for being dismissed from office and imprisoned. This heart disease has not yet subsided. No matter how great the favor Wu Sansi gave him, he would not talk about the word "reconciliation".

Wu Chengsi remained silent. Wu Sansi knew his thoughts very well. He sighed and said, "There is something I have always felt ashamed of my brother. In fact, I can remind my brother so that he can see through Shangguan Wan'er's trap. But I was hesitant and dared not act rashly, which eventually led to my brother being wronged and imprisoned. If I don't say it out, I will feel uneasy."

Wu Chengsi was stunned, his thick eyebrows suddenly stood up, and he stared at Wu Sansi fiercely, "What do you mean is that I was killed by Shangguan Wan'er?"

Wu Sansi nodded slowly, "Not only his brother, but also Xue Huaiyi, the relics case was actually planned by her."

"Does San Uncle have any evidence?" Wu Furong asked from the side.

"The evidence is King Ah Shang. He came to Luoyang the year before yesterday and met Shangguan Wan'er. He told Shangguan Wan'er that Maitreya relics were hidden in Tochara Temple. Then last spring, this secret spread quietly."

"How could Uncle San know?" Wu Furong continued to ask.

Wu Sansi sighed, "Because King Ah-Shangyan wanted to see the emperor, Shangguan Wan'er did not make any arrangements for him, and he came to me again, so I knew about this. If my brother didn't believe it, he could send someone to Ah-Shangyan City in Tocharo. I believe King Ah-Shangyan will tell his brother the truth."

Wu Chengsi had no doubt that Shangguan Wan'er was manipulating behind the scenes. His face turned red and white. He punched the table hard and said gritting his teeth: "If you don't take this revenge, I, Wu Chengsi, swear not to be a human being."

Wu Sansi narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Brother, that woman is really scheming and vicious, secretly helping Li and threatening Wu. For the benefit of the Wu family, it is better for our brothers to join forces to get rid of her."
