Throughout the Song Dynasty, there were not many people who really hated Concubine Zhang Gui, and even fewer dared to send killers to kill her.

But if you count carefully, there really is one, and that is Empress Cao.

The battle between the harem is a war without gunpowder. Although Empress Cao looks like a famous queen on the surface, she is a woman after all. Since she is a woman, she has thoughts unique to women. Can she tolerate Zhang? What about the domineering concubine, and the emperor's exclusive favor for Concubine Zhang?

Empress Cao has a good family background and is fully capable of assassinating.

After having these thoughts, Hwarang sent someone to investigate Empress Cao's family background, and who else is in the Cao family today. These things are basically on the surface, and it is not a waste of time.

Before evening, Hwarang got the news that the ancestor of Empress Cao was a hero who founded the country. It has been several generations and the family business is very large. Now the head of the Cao family is Empress Cao’s younger brother, Cao Chao, Cao Chao Because of Empress Cao's relationship, she did not enter the court as an official, but only inherited the title of her ancestors, so she can be regarded as a wealthy idler.

However, it is said that Cao Chao has great ambitions and has always wanted to make some achievements in the court, but because of his sister Empress Cao, he has never been able to enter the court.

Hualang nodded after hearing the news. If the news is true, then the person who sent the assassin is probably Cao Chao. It's too hateful, the emperor wanted to abolish the empress again and again because of Concubine Zhang, so only by killing Concubine Zhang can his sister's status as queen be preserved.

Empress Cao did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor. If there is no more queen, then the Cao family may really be defeated after a hundred years from the emperor.

These reasons are enough to make Cao Chao kill for it.

But the difficulty now is how to get Cao Chao to admit that he sent a killer to kill someone.

This is a very dangerous thing. If there is a little carelessness, it is equivalent to offending Empress Cao and the entire Cao family. Although Hualang is not afraid of offending people, he is hated and plotted by others all day long. What a good thing, so this matter must be cautious.

And when Hwarang was having trouble with this matter, something that Hwarang could never have imagined was happening in the palace.

In the empress' bedroom, there were only Empress Cao and Cao Chao. Empress Cao looked ugly, she glared at Cao Chao, and said, "You sent the assassin?"

In front of his sister, Cao Chao didn't intend to hide anything, and nodded: "That's right, that Concubine Zhang Gui is too hateful, not killing her is not enough to appease my indignation."

Empress Cao snorted coldly: "Then who do you think you can hide from these things you have done?"

Cao Chao smiled: "Those assassins are dead soldiers raised by our Cao family. They can't say anything, and their backgrounds are more innocent. No matter who checks, they can't find any problems. My sister can rest assured."

Empress Cao shook her head: "Confused, confused, in the entire Song Dynasty, how many people dared to kill Concubine Zhang and wanted to kill Concubine Zhang, I'm afraid that many people are already doubting you."

Hearing this, Cao Chao couldn't help being taken aback: "This is impossible, who would have thought it was me?"

"Hwarang, his ingenuity is definitely the best in my Song Dynasty. Others can't see your tricks, but Hwarang will definitely be able to see them."

Hearing this, Cao Chao suddenly showed a killing intent in his eyes: "If he can really see it, I will kill him. No one can stop my sister's great cause."

Empress Cao was full of indignation, and finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "You let my sister say something about you, why don't you understand? Killing Hua Lang is not good for any of us. The country of the Song Dynasty is not without him. Besides, you may not be able to kill him, maybe you will be captured by his plan, listen to your sister, go to Hwarang, and explain the matter clearly."

"This..." Cao Chao felt that his sister was simply crazy. How could he explain this kind of thing to Hua Lang. If Hua Lang handed himself over to the emperor, their entire Cao family might be destroyed.

Empress Cao seemed to see Cao Chao's doubts, so she said, "You go to Hualang, just say this..." After some words, Empress Cao said: "Hwarang is a person who knows the general, as long as you say so , he will never embarrass you again, and as long as he helps you cover up this matter, he will be a member of our Cao family in the future, do you understand?"

Cao Chao's face showed a look of joy, but soon, he was puzzled and said: "If Hua Lang refuses to forgive me, then our Cao family will be ruined? It's like a gamble!"

"Yes, this is gambling. Many things in the world are similar to gambling. The same is true for choices, and the same is true for asking for help!"

Cao Chao still admires his elder sister very much, and he feels that his elder sister is very capable. It is not as good as when the emperor Zhao Zhen chose his queen, he would not choose his elder sister. To be honest, the entire Cao family It is very clear that Queen Cao's appearance is very ordinary, not amazing. In the harem full of beauties, she has no advantage at all, but she really became a queen. This kind of thing is definitely not as simple as luck .

With no other choice, Cao Chao had to follow his sister's arrangement and go to Hwarang.

It was already late when Cao Chao came to the Kaifeng government office. He came alone, and he did not reveal his identity when he came. Of course, after seeing Hua Lang, he naturally wanted to tell.

The two sat down in Hwarang's room, and there was no one around. When Hwarang knew the identity of the visitor, he couldn't help becoming vigilant. He had already suspected that he had fallen in love with this person. If he knew that he suspected that he had fallen in love with him, then Will he kill someone because of this?

In the court power competition, anything can happen, although Hwarang is not involved in it, some of the rules must be understood.

When Hwarang found out the other party's identity, he first showed a look of surprise, then puzzled, and finally asked: "How could Uncle Guo remember this Kaifeng mansion, I don't seem to know Uncle Guo personally." Bar?"

Cao Chao could see all of Hwarang's expressions. At first he thought that Hwarang was nothing more than that, but soon he found that this Hwarang was much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

"Young man, you and I do not know each other, but I have something important to talk to you about today."

Hua Lang frowned slightly, but his expression was still relaxed, and he said, "I don't know what Uncle Guo wants to say?"

"The assassination incident that happened in the Royal Garden, I remember that Playboy was responsible for the investigation. I don't know if there are any clues?"
