"That person is one of my second brother, Wu Xu's concubines.." Wu Hao frowned as if he recalled an unhappy matter, "My brother met her when he went out to play, seeing she was very attractive and her family was poverty-stricken, my brother liked her but he already had a wife, so she could only be the crown prince's concubine, even if my brother was going to be Emperor, she would only be one of many..."
"...But her ways are very unusual, and she was very attractive and so she unexpectedly enticed my oldest brother - actually when I and my oldest brother killed my second brother, she secretly helped us. Her reasoning was that she could not bear the incompetence and indifference of my second brother - when in fact, it is my eldest brother who is truly incompetent. My second brother was very smart, but he was too cruel and merciless, if he ascended the throne, he would have inevitably killed us, so therefore I collaborated with my oldest brother."
"After my oldest brother ascended the throne, she became Empress, then she took advantage of the little Marquis' unexpected serious illness, to persuade my brother to surrender and hand over the eight cities to Xiyuan. Not only that, even the nomadic people around Bei country, she persuaded him to give them money and silks. My oldest brother was really clueless, and the little Marquis was sick dying, therefore her plans always succeeded."
I was puzzled: "What is her benefit in doing all these?"
Wu Hao sighed and said: "No benefit...we don't what happened. In short, as the little Marquis was sick, she killed my oldest brother and then suddenly disappeared without a trace. But because of this, the little Marquis is now believed to be the killer of my oldest brother. In the middle of the chaos, some in the court formed a group to start spreading that my second brother's children, even the newly crowned Bei Emperor, are said to actually be the little Marquis's children - but I know that it is impossible because the little marquis has always had a girl who he likes very much..."
I listened quietly and said: "So what are you telling me all this for? I am the enemy Emperor, can I help you?
Wu Hao said: "Because... I want to go back, I think things may not be as simple as how it seems."
I said: "Then go back, you're in the wrong place."
Wu said: "No... if I go back now like this, the little Marquis will see me as a threat and will kill me."
I reluctantly asked: "You want me to escort you back? That's okay, when the time comes you take us straight to the dragon, then the whole Bei will belong to Xi."
**(She's being sarcastic, dragon here referring to Beis throne)**
Wu Min Jun smiled and said: "No, let's escort him back, I think this matter is very interesting...hm, especially that woman."
I: "..."
"Wu Hao, you can go, immediately, right away."
Wu Hao: "???"
Wu Min Jun laughed and said: "I still think that little Marquis is interesting, are you jealous?"
I yelled: "Who... who is jealous?... little Marquis... I know you..."
...are a good man.
I didn't say the last three words in front of Wu Hao, but I knew Wu Min Jun understood.
Wu Min Jun poked my face, I slapped his hand off and said to Wu Hao: "Okay, I was joking. I will discuss this matter with the TaiFu first, it will not hurt us to kill the little Marquis, at the very least we can keep our eight cities..."
Wu Hao shook his head: "I don't want you to escort me, letting you come is no different than leading a wolf into the room..."
I: "...Then what are you doing here?!"
Wu Hao: "I told you this, in fact, it's because I feel a little sorry to you, Xi emperor."
"?" I looked at him confused, what does he have to apologize to me for?
Wu hao: "This is related to the second matter."
I said: "Well, speak up!"
Wu Hao turned to the doors: "..."
