Training Wu Zhou

Chapter 71: The Girl with the Tattoo

The night is cold as water.

The palace road was not long, and the two walked one after the other, silent as if they met for the first time.

Tang Guan didn't say a word behind Shangguan Wan'er, and Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be full of thoughts.

On the road, less than halfway through, she finally stopped.

"Xiao Langjun, can you do something for my concubine?"

She looked back at Tang Guan, Tang Guan also raised his head, but did not answer right away, and said after a while: "You say."

Shangguan Wan'er was overjoyed when she heard the words, she took out an object from her sleeve, before Tang Guan could see it clearly, the object was already in front of her eyes.

It turned out to be a handkerchief, but this handkerchief was brilliant yellow, Tang Guan couldn't help but jump in his eyelids, it was clearly belonging to the royal family.

"Zhuangyuanlang, can you help me return this to His Majesty Ruizong?"

Her voice was very soft, but these words fell into Tang Guan's ears, and she couldn't help frowning.

Reaching out to take the handkerchief, I carefully identified it, only to see traces of blood on it, and the style seemed to be quite old.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Tang Guan expectantly, she knew that he was the only one who could help her.

But Tang Guan pondered for a while and said directly: "No."

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment. Although they didn't have much relationship, they got along fairly well. She didn't expect Tang Guan to refuse without asking.

She is not someone who likes to beg, seeing Tang Guan refuses, she puts no expression on her face, and stretches out her hand: "Then give it back to the concubine."

Hearing this, Tang Guan smiled at her and said directly, "No."

"You..." As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Wan'er finally changed color.

"I happen to be short of a handkerchief, so give it to me."

Tang Guan chuckled, of course he did it on purpose. In his opinion, this handkerchief and the token of love must be extremely valuable things. It is absolutely impossible to want him to be the big spare tire and help them fall in love. Impossible.

Shangguan Wan'er originally had a good impression of Tang Guan and thought he was a trustworthy person, but now seeing his appearance, she felt a chill in her heart. If the Empress knew about this, she might have dire consequences.

Thinking of this, her face turned pale, Tang Guan smiled and said: "Miss sister, do you want to be a concubine?"

Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback when she heard the words, and then reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about, it's useless for me to nominate your surname for you!"

"It really is her." As soon as the words came out, Tang Guan secretly said in his heart that it was true, and he was still wondering who copied his handwriting so similarly.

But Shangguan Wan'er was a man of good manners after all, she stared at what Tang Guan was holding, but didn't dare to snatch it, even if it was her own in the first place.

Tang Guan also expected this event, and became even more arrogant, saying: "My sister is a servant of the Queen of Heaven, and she has a deep personal relationship with His Majesty. She is worthy of being the Queen of the Prime Minister."

In fact, Tang Guan is now three points annoyed, one point is inexplicable jealousy, and two points is depression that things are out of control.

He thought through a lot of historical materials, and never thought that these two people were related. This is a bit complicated. There is no record of the relationship between the two in history.

But there is a record that after Ruizong came to the throne again, Xiuxiu returned to Shangguan Wan'er. If the two had nothing to do with each other, why did Ruizong do this after Shangguan Wan'er died?

When Shangguan Wan'er heard him mention her family background, she was startled at first, and then even annoyed, her good impression of Tang Guan disappeared instantly.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, Tang Guan still had a playful smile on his face, he just wanted to get to the bottom of it, this woman was smart all her life, she was confused for a while, and if she gave things to herself, if she didn't make good use of them, she wouldn't be Tang Guan.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Tang Guan bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward, sister. I know Qubing on the road ahead, so don't bother me to lead the way."

After saying that, she flung her sleeves and left, until Tang Guan passed by, Shangguan Wan'er said: "It's my father's! You give it back to me!"

This shout was not at all her calm demeanor in the past, like a little girl who had been robbed of her beloved, staring at Tang Guan with hatred.

Tang Guan, who was secretly proud, staggered suddenly at Wenyin, this matter was really complicated, why did her father get involved again.

But they still stopped, and the two young men hesitated on the palace road. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise disaster would happen again.

Tang Guan glanced at the handkerchief again, apparently it was kept more carefully, and there was a hint of fragrance on it, it seemed that he always carried it with him on weekdays.

But the old ones are not hidden, at first glance they are old things, Tang Guan carefully distinguishes them, then looks at Shangguan Wan'er who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and shakes his head in his heart.

Seeing him stop, Shangguan Wan'er blushed beautifully, her yelling just now was indeed not in her usual style, but she still stared at Tang Guan indignantly.

"Her family is a duoxiang. It is true that Shangguanyi is the old prime minister, and Shangguan Tingzhi is also the prime minister of Xitai. There must be some changes!"

Tang Guan's heart suddenly trembled, and he realized that this handkerchief might not be a token of love, but the grievance between his Shangguan family and the royal family.

"Haha, that's even more valuable for collection!" Tang Guan flashed a serious look, and then became happy again.

Immediately cupped his hands and said: "Then I would like to thank the old Prime Minister for your kindness, Qu Bing will definitely take good care of him."

After finishing speaking, he picked up his steps and walked again, which greatly exceeded Shangguan Wan'er's expectations. Tang Guan's unimaginable behavior is rare in the world.

Even Di Renjie, who in Shangguan Wan'er's impression was the most unreasonable, was far behind.

Tang Guan turned his head and left, playing with the handkerchief in his hand.

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a while, then came back to her senses, trotted to catch up, and grabbed Tang Guan's sleeve.

"You...you're shameless!" Shangguan Wan'er blushed and suppressed a curse.

Tang Guan was held by her, but he didn't break free. He looked back with a smile and said, "Sister, are you reluctant to let me go?"

"You...you..how could you do this."

Only then did she realize that it was a mistake for her to reveal such an important matter so easily. She didn't know Tang Guan at all, and she was immersed in his prose and poems all the time, feeling that he was very kind.

But at this time, she was in a difficult situation. If she was molested like this, she only needed to report to Wu Zhao, and this person would be skinned even if she didn't die. In fact, it's two different things if Wu Zhao doesn't deal with it.

What's more, I still have a handle in his hands.

Tang Guan saw that she was in a hurry, and a bad taste suddenly arose in his heart. If Shangguan Wan'er after taking power, even if Mount Tai collapsed before her face would not change, she would have lost a little bit of interest at that time.

"Haha, young lady, do you know why the Queen of Heaven wants Her Majesty to live in the East Palace?"

Shangguan Wan'er tugged on Tang Guan's sleeves tightly, not daring to make any further moves, this was already out of etiquette.

Hearing Tang Guan's words, her pretty face turned pale. Of course, she understood Tianhou's thoughts, and it was a big taboo for her to have an affair with Ruizong.

Slowly releasing her little hand, Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head in a daze, as if she was hiding her emotions.

Seeing this, Tang Guan shook his head slightly, turned around and left. Shangguan Wan'er didn't know what he would do with the handkerchief, whether to give it to the Queen of Heaven or keep it for herself.

This was tantamount to a betrayal for her. There is no record in history of what kind of girl Shangguan Wan'er was before she took power, but only records of her beauty after she was favored.

"Women's faces weigh the world."

I'm afraid that now she can't even hide her small thoughts in front of fickle people like Tang Guan.

Shangguan Wan'er collapsed and fell on the palace road, not noticing that Tang Guan disappeared at the corner.

She stared blankly at the palace road, her vision became blurred.

"Mother, is there really no one in the world who can be trusted?"

She lived very carefully all her life, and it was rare for her to trust someone, but she met Tang Guan.

In fact, without Tang Guan, she would have met countless people who gradually hardened her heart, until she became the iron-blooded woman who can weigh the world!

It's a pity that she is not the current one, sobbing sounded, and she actually cried out.

A figure is hidden in the dense forest of the palace road, next to Shangguan Wan'er.

The man stared at Shangguan Wan'er who was crying for a moment, then looked at the handkerchief in his hand, it turned out to be Tang Guan who disappeared around the corner.

"Could it be?"

Tang Guan frowned, thinking quickly in his heart.

"Punishment for tattooing?"

Tang Guan's eyelids twitched, and he connected a suspicious history. During Gaozong's reign, the Shangguan family advocated the abolition of Empress Wu, and they almost succeeded.

And Shangguan Wan'er was punished by Wu Zhao's facial tattoo, which refers to disfigurement. The mainstream theory is that Shangguan Wan'er was peeping at the memorial, and the second theory is that Shangguan Wan'er seduced the Zhang brothers and made Wu Zhao jealous.

"Obviously, the first one is reasonable, but unreliable."

"The second one is even more unreliable."

Thinking of this, Tang Guan realized that it was most likely caused by this handkerchief.

Shangguan Wan'er secretly wiped her tears. To be honest, she was afraid. She was afraid that Tang Guan would really reveal the matter to Wu Zhao.No one knows Wu Zhao's methods better than her.

She also hated herself for being so gullible in Tang Guan.

"Tang Qubing, I...I hate you!"
