Chang Anqing

Chapter 336
At nightfall that day, the night wind in Chang'an was much warmer and gentler. Under the bright moonlight, a simple and low-key carriage was heading towards the mansion of Gaomen Kuofu. Stopping in front of the vermilion gate with the words "Prince Qin's Mansion" written on it, you can watch the curtain of the car be lifted slightly, and Yang Che, who is wearing a dark blue treasure-patterned Shu brocade shirt, walks down from it.

The servants in front of the door saw it, and quickly stepped forward to salute. Just as Yang Che walked by as usual, when he stepped over the threshold, he saw a servant who seemed to be waiting for a long time, and quickly came over and bowed his head, saying: " Lord Lang, the King of Shu is here and has been waiting for you in the flower hall, and the princess ordered the younger one to wait here."

Hearing this, Yang Che squinted his eyes slightly. He expected that Yang Zhao would be waiting for him. Maybe there was something wrong. After pondering for a moment, Yang Che said calmly, "Please meet in King Shu's study."

When Yang Che came to the study, he saw Yang Zhao who was sitting there with a sad face, and his thoughts were further confirmed in his heart. He knew very well that among the few brothers, Wu Lang was the one with the expression of joy and anger, and the expression on his face. I can't hold back things.In addition, Goro is the closest to himself, especially in front of him.

"Goro is here—"

Hearing Yang Che's voice, Yang Zhao, who was sitting under the window, raised his head immediately, met Yang Che's smiling eyes, stood up with an infected smile, and said very affectionately, "Brother!"

After walking forward, Yang Che patted Yang Zhao's shoulder familiarly, because the seriousness of the official business has also eased a lot.

"I heard that you have done a good job in training in the Ministry of War in the past few days. Tian Shilang and the others also praised you full of praise in front of Aye. Aye was very happy to hear that."

Hearing Yang Che's words, Yang Zhao's face turned a little red, and he scratched his head in embarrassment and said timidly: "The minister and the others are all looking at His Majesty's face, I usually—"

"You should change your temper."

Before Yang Zhao could finish speaking, Yang Che frowned in disapproval. Seeing his elder brother's tone suddenly became serious, Yang Zhao also became nervous, and immediately acted like the one who did something wrong in the past, without saying a word, and would just rub his hands under his sleeves restlessly. humble boy.

"Brother is right, I, I—"

Seeing this scene, Yang Che couldn't help but sighed helplessly, put his hand on Yang Zhao's left shoulder again as if he had injected courage, and said earnestly: "Wulang, remember what brother said, now you are the prince of Daxing, and you are the prince of the world. The nobles of the emperor, in a few years, we brothers will be sent to various places, entrusted with important tasks, to guard the Quartet for Aye, if we want to do this, we must not be weak or retreat, understand?"

Under the candlelight, facing Yang Che's serious but gentle eyes, Yang Zhao couldn't regain his senses for a long time, only nodded his head after a long time, and said in an infected way: "Okay, I will listen to brother."

"Then, will brother also leave Chang'an in the future?"

Hearing Yang Zhao's inquiry, Yang Che's eyes moved slightly, he just smiled lightly, pulled Yang Zhao to sit down and said, "It's a common practice for all kings to be vassals, and I naturally want to go."

"Then Her Royal Highness, you should be sad—"

Yang Zhao's small voice reached his ears, but Yang Che wanted to laugh out loud. In Aye's and A'niang's hearts, did he ever have his weight?
If the status of the second child can be kept forever, A Niang is afraid that they will stay in the fief forever, and this also includes him.

"You've been here for a long time, maybe just to chat—"

Yang Che quietly diverted from this topic that he didn't want to mention. Yang Zhao suddenly remembered something when he heard the sound, and Yang Che saw a bit of secretiveness on his face in just a moment.

Under Yang Che's signal, Sinan immediately retreated with Chang Xi in comprehension, and each stayed outside.

"how?"

Hearing Yang Che's questioning again, Yang Zhao thought for a while, raised his secretly surging eyes, and his voice was extremely low, it could be said that he was careful in every word.

"Brother, I came back from outside the city a few days ago and saw a person among a group of people begging."

Seeing Yang Zhao's mysteriousness, Yang Che couldn't help becoming serious, and the next moment Yang Zhao in front of him moved closer again, and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "It's Jiu Ge."

Nine songs?

When this name popped into his mind, Yang Che was taken aback for a moment, but soon, the appearance of a delicate and beautiful woman appeared in his mind.

The servant girl who served in front of Yang Yan before?

At the moment when memories flooded back, Yang Che, who was cautious and thoughtful, suddenly smelled something different.

If he remembered correctly, the person named Jiu Ge took care of Yang Yan since he was a child, and gained Yang Yan's trust and closeness, but then he suddenly disappeared without a trace.

I remember that when I heard the servant girl in A Niang’s yard chatting, she only said that A Niang gave her grace and let her go home to marry. Now look at——

People say that the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, Jiu Ge was a maidservant in the mansion in the past, and she was also a personal maid who served Yang Yan. Even if he was released, he should have no worries about food and clothing. The family members need to be rich.

How could he be reduced to begging?

"I used to be in the mansion, sister Jiu Ge treated me very well, but now seeing her down and out, my heart—"

When Yang Zhao said this, his face was a little sympathetic and sad, and then he said: "I set up a simple yard for her. Later, I saw that she was not in good spirits, so I sent a doctor to treat her. I never thought—"

Hearing that Yang Zhao stopped talking, Yang Che looked suspiciously, but seeing Yang Zhao in front of him lowered his head, his face seemed ashamed and difficult to speak, and he felt more and more wrong in his heart.

"how?"

Hearing Yang Che's questioning, Yang Zhao hesitated, and looked at Yang Che in a complicated manner. After pondering for a long time, he said tremblingly: "I never thought that sister Jiuge not only lost her virginity, but also conceived. After suffering from that kind of illness, I found out after asking about it that Sister Jiuge was sent to the border army town by the Queen's order to act as a prostitute in the camp—"

As soon as these words came out, the vigilant Yang Che immediately figured out something, and he, who has always been prudent, unconsciously asked urgently: "When did the child fall?"

"I heard from the doctor that it looked about October last year, and the fetus was only two or three months old. When it was conceived, it should be—"

Yang Zhao thought for a while and continued: "It should be before being sent to the military town."

Hearing this answer, Yang Che's pupils were shocked, as if he had heard the Arabian Nights.

But after the shock, the bottom of my heart overflowed little by little with an inexplicable sudden enlightenment.

It turned out to be so——

At this moment, Yang Che couldn't understand more clearly, no wonder a living person disappeared from the majestic Taiwei's mansion like that, no wonder Jiu Ge ended up in such a state.

It turned out that for Yang Yan, his aunt really did her best, worked hard at every step, and removed all obstacles for him.

For no reason, Yang Che suddenly wanted to laugh, a sneer, but also a heartfelt laugh.

"Fortunately, after taking the medicine for a long time, Sister Jiuge's condition has stabilized a little bit. Seeing that she is having a hard time, I had no choice but to lie to her and tell her that she was cured, so that she felt a little angry. "

Speaking of this, Yang Zhao looked at Yang Che and couldn't help asking: "Brother, everyone in the mansion used to bully me and ignore me, but Sister Jiu Ge secretly helped me a lot, now seeing her like this It is really--"

"The doctors outside are always inferior to the imperial physicians in the palace. My brother may ask the imperial physicians to treat her—"

Hearing this, Yang Che understood what his fifth brother wanted to do.

The Imperial Physician Cheng is his man, so he can heal Jiu Ge without letting the news reach A Niang's ears.

Looking at Yang Zhao like this, Yang Che seemed a little helpless, and said after a long time: "Teach me to think about this matter."
