Chapter 357 The Beautiful Courtesan Attracts the King's Heart 2
This little wish was granted immediately.
Three days later, someone brought a young man to the original owner.
When the original owner was separated from her brother, she was 8 years old and her brother was 3 years old. After many years, although her memory had become a little fuzzy, she was still very keenly aware that the boy in front of her was not the relative she missed day and night.
However, under the circumstances at the time, the original owner could only pretend that he hadn't noticed anything, and at the same time spoke in a covert manner to test the identity of the visitor.
What the original owner didn't expect was that the boy actually remembered everything about their childhood, including some little secrets that only she and her siblings knew, and he could answer them fluently.
Sometimes, the absence of a flaw is the biggest flaw, so the original owner concluded that this person was a fake, and his brother must be in the hands of these people.
So she completed every task assigned by her superiors without making a fuss, and at the same time she was increasingly valued by her master. As the content she came into contact with became more and more core, the original owner also discovered more and more things.
Until one day she discovered a shocking secret about the tragedy that happened in her family. Her former superior, one of the leaders of the Dark Guard Battalion, accidentally revealed the truth when he was drunk.
It turned out that it was not a robbery at all. The group of people went after them in an organized and purposeful manner.
It was all for an object hidden in her house. It was at this time that the original owner realized that her father was not an ordinary country gentleman at all, but a guard in the palace. He fled to this small mountain village and lived in hiding in order to seek refuge.
But the things he brought out from the palace became the death warrant for their family.
At the same time, the original owner could vaguely hear that the person behind the planning of this incident was from the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis Mansion, and was most likely the eldest son of the Loyalty and Brave Marquis Mansion, Zhou Xianjin.
So she made up her mind to avenge her parents, but the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was the heroine's maiden home, so of course it was impossible for a small secret guard like the original owner to take it so easily.
When her attack failed and her intention to assassinate the prince of the Marquis's Mansion was exposed, she had no time to take the next step before she was stabbed through the heart by the male protagonist and died silently.
The time when Chu Yuan traveled through time was exactly the day when the original master disguised himself as an oiran and carried out an assassination mission.
That is, after the mission was completed, the original owner was summoned by the master for his meritorious service, and a series of stories happened afterwards.
Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after receiving all the memories. It turned out that it was the courtesan in disguise.
However, according to the original owner's memory, this mission is indeed very important, so even though she is a fake courtesan, it is no different from the real one.
In order to gain trust, the original owner had come to Fengyue Tower as an orphan nine months ago and went through all the training required to become an oiran, including, of course, how to please the guests.
So except for the owner behind the original owner, no one knew that she, the courtesan, was actually a fake.
To say who is worthy of her going to such great lengths to spend nearly a year hiding here, we have to talk about the identity of her master.
In fact, it was not until later that the original owner learned that his master was actually the current Crown Prince.
At that time, it was already a critical period for the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince to compete for the throne. Even if the original owner did not want to participate in this battle for the throne, he had no choice.
What's more, she discovered at that time that the prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion was most likely the enemy who killed her parents. If she wanted revenge, she could only rely on the power of the prince.
As a result, this series of events led to the tragic death of the original owner.
Looking back now, Chu Yuan discovered something wrong. The original owner's father had never shown any martial arts skills, nor had he ever mentioned that there were any treasures hidden in the house.
The original owner, a little girl, couldn't see this, so how could Chu Yuan not see it?
Based on the memories she received, it was clear that the original owner's father did not know any martial arts at all, let alone being a guard from the palace?
Another thing is the timing when this matter was leaked, which happened to be the critical moment when the original owner learned the identity of the prince and began to waver on whether to continue working for him.
Not long after, one of the leaders in the Dark Guard camp got drunk.
Being a secret guard and drinking alcohol is a violation of discipline in itself, but the original owner happened to see them and happened to tell him about what happened that year, and also hinted at the identity of the person behind the scenes in his words.
This is extremely suspicious no matter how you look at it.
It’s a pity that the original owner was so blinded by hatred at the time that he had no time to think carefully. He was only determined to avenge his parents, and ultimately lost his life in vain.
"So the original owner's wish is for me to kill the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"
"No, the original owner's wish was to find the real murderer who caused the tragedy that year, to avenge his parents, and to find the whereabouts of his younger brother so that he would never be controlled by others again in his life."
After hearing what Xiaodao said, Chu Yuan finally understood that the original owner had already realized the trick at the last moment, but because he died at the hands of the Ninth Prince, he was unable to investigate further.
"Okay, I will fulfill her wish."
After figuring out the general outline of the matter, let’s get back to the guest Chu Yuan is going to receive tonight.
The Ninth Prince’s success in ascending the throne, apart from his own strategy, was also closely related to the other two people.
One of them is of course the Ninth Prince’s father-in-law, Marquis Zhongyong, and the other one is Lord Lu Yu, the commander of the imperial guard who is responsible for the defense of the capital.
The only son of Mr. Lu is named Lu Zhengning, and his biggest hobby is visiting brothels.
As soon as the news came out that the courtesan of Fengyue Tower would be receiving guests tonight, he spent a large sum of money to buy this spot.
The original owner's mission was to kill Lu Zhengning.
According to the plot development of the original book, after Lu Zhengning's death, Lu Yu suffered a great blow and was depressed for a while.
His beloved wife died early, leaving only this one son whom he raised like a treasure. Now his son also died unclearly. How could he have the mood to help the Ninth Prince seize the throne? He only wanted to investigate the cause of his son's death and then kill his enemy with his own hands.
Therefore, the original owner's mission dealt a heavy blow to the Ninth Prince's party, resulting in the Ninth Prince being suppressed by the Crown Prince in the later period of the fight for the throne.
Of course, this was also an important turning point in the original owner's fate.
Before this, she usually carried out low-level tasks such as monitoring, guarding, and tracking. It was from this mission that she began to live a life with blood on her hands.
