It's not that Li Shimin valued the Bai Song Dynasty, but that as a consort, he was assassinated in Chang'an City.
Who will encounter something similar next time?
The next day, Lu Yao was kidnapped at home. When he woke up, he found himself in a dark room.
A whip was slapped on the foot, and someone yelled: "Kneel down!"
Lu Yao was already injured, and when he was hit by the whip, he staggered and fell to the ground.
The next second, Lu Yao was pulled up by his hair.
The person who caught him was Hou Junji.
There was a bit of murderous intent in the other person's eyes.
"You brat, you really have the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard! I thought you could come up with some clever plan, but I didn't expect it to be such a dirty trick! This is Chang'an City, do you think it's a place where grass gathers? You can actually do it?
A bad idea for an assassination!"
Lu Yao's eyes were weak, and he looked at Hou Junji as he struggled to answer: "Although it's a bad idea, it's very useful! It's just bad luck that let him run away. There's only a small chance... I... I'll help the princess
Get rid of a serious problem in your heart."
"A slight mistake can make a thousand miles difference!" Hou Junji said coldly, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. There is no way out for what you have done."
Saying that, Hou Junji pulled out a knife.
Lu Yao closed his eyes and lost his voice.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Lu Yao has nothing to say because of this miss. He knows he will die, so just kill him if you want."
Hou Junji paused for a moment and looked into the darkness behind him.
Gradually, a vague figure came out, it was Princess Danyang.
Lu Yao opened his eyes and saw that Princess Danyang seemed to be fine, with the same dead expression on her face.
"I ask you, where have all the assassins gone?"
"Dead." Lu Yao simply replied.
"How did you die?"
"Poisoned and thrown into the river, the body should have followed the Yong'an River to the outside of Chang'an City."
Princess Danyang looked at Lu Yao seriously: "You are decisive."
"Since those people failed, there is no need to live, just like Lu."
"Lu Yao..." Princess Danyang looked at this person carefully, "When you were at Xiangjiazhuang, you made some impression on me. Looking at it today, you are indeed a malleable talent."
"Princess wants to kill you, so please give me a happy message."
Princess Danyang gave Hou Junji a look.
Hou Junji threw Lu Yao in his hand to the ground, along with the scimitar he had just drawn.
"Ahem..." Lu Yao coughed twice, lying on the ground and wiping the corners of his mouth, "What do you mean?"
"Boy, your fortune is good." Hou Junji said in a low voice, "Her Royal Highness, I think you are a useful talent."
"Princess won't kill me anymore?"
Princess Danyang smiled lightly: "I wouldn't have killed you, but you saved your own life. There is no proof of the killer's death. Even if the emperor's brother has extraordinary abilities, he can't find any clues. If you can hide yourself, I will
I am willing to give you a chance. But from now on, you don’t need to intervene in the Bai Song Dynasty."
"But Bai Song is still alive and well! Even if we can't take his life, it would be good to at least release the evidence from the imperial examination to discredit him."
"After all, you are still too young..." Princess Danyang shook her head and turned back into the darkness, "In Chang'an, no one can ignore the emperor's anger. If you cause such a big thing, if you continue to pester Bai Song, it will be counterproductive.
."
"But……"
Hou Junji interrupted Lu Yao: "Enough is enough. Don't think that you are more thoughtful than Her Royal Highness."
"The evidence..."
"Those evidences will be used in his imperial examination. A good answer sheet must be used at the most suitable time, so that you can see a good show."
Princess Danyang's voice gradually faded away and disappeared.
Hou Junji grabbed Lu Yao and asked in a low voice: "Can your body still hold on?"
"No... no problem."
Hou Junji stared at Lu Yao. Instead of being angry as before, he smiled: "You are really a lunatic. It's a shame that you can think of assassination. With a single-minded brain, it will be difficult to achieve great things."
Lu Yao did not answer, but looked at Hou Junji with a sad smile.
But in Lu Yao's heart, there was more than a hint of pride.
Because everything that happened here, whether it was Hou Junji or Princess Danyang, every word they said and every expression was what Lu Yao expected.
They think they are pawns.
Lu Yao knows very well that he is the chess player.
…
After the conversation with the Ministry of Finance.
Bai Song and Lu Yao have never met.
But the two of them put on a good show for the adults in Chang'an City through silent cooperation.
After this drama, Lu Yao became a nail planted deep in the East Palace.
Bai Song won enough time.
But those adults who consider themselves smart do not know that a new trend is quietly emerging.
New players have entered the game without them noticing.
When Bai Song returned to his house, the women in the family could not help but cry. It took a while of comforting to calm down their emotions.
Someone from the palace came to visit him, and after asking about his condition, he went back to resume his duties.
Bai Song originally thought he could take the opportunity to recuperate at home and be quiet for two days.
Unexpectedly, after learning that the prince-in-law was injured, his friends came one after another.
Many people came to visit Bai Song, but Bai Song could only pretend to be seriously injured in bed.
In fact, Bai Song's injury was not that serious at all, but in order not to reveal his true nature, he could only hide in his room all day long.
The only person I want to see now is Yu Ji.
It is not convenient for Bai Song to walk towards Yingyue Tower now, so he can only let Yu Ji go by himself.
Yu Ji's purpose is also simple, which is to let everyone know that Yu Ji often walks towards Yingyue Tower.
By attracting attention, people can notice a series of recent changes in Yingyue Tower.
These changes are naturally blamed on Yu Ji.
In the afternoon of the day he was injured, Yu Ji got the news and came to see Bai Song.
The next day, Yu Ji went to Yingyue Tower.
The news about Yu Ji's return to Yingyue Tower soon spread outside.
Yu Ji is a famous figure in Chang'an City, and his every move is watched by countless eyes.
There have been many discussions before about Yu Ji and the prostitutes in Yingyue Tower.
Now that the news has come out, the previous events have been connected, and there have been more discussions.
Driven by the public discussion, Yu Ji gathered a group of people to start making ginger tea, brown sugar water and other things, and delivered them to the brothel every day.
Ginger tea, brown sugar water and the like are no longer rare items. In addition to Yingyue Tower, all large and small brothels in Chang'an City have taken care of them.
Yu Ji is the grandson of Mr. Yu, and he also has a certain appeal in Chang'an. He has gathered a group of people and his momentum is growing day by day.
Until one day, Yingyuelou began to close its shop and stopped doing business. Instead, it went with Yu Ji to deliver sugar water to various brothels in Chang'an City.
The eyes in Chang'an City couldn't understand, and they didn't know what trouble these people were trying to make.
Later, the Yingyue Building sign was removed and the "Women's Aid Association" sign was put up.
