What could not be stopped as the elder brother was that the younger sister became conceited and vain, no longer the simple little girl in the small fishing village. She began to have some unrealistic fantasies, the ambition of flying to the branches and turning sparrows into phoenixes growing in her heart. This was a very terrible and dangerous temptation for her.

As summer came, he saw some people in the royal family going to Ganquan Palace to escape the summer heat, but it was from that time that the brother and sister broke off contact. For some reason, he could not receive any information from his sister. Every time he finally asked someone to send him to the palace, the letters he had been sent to the sea. He also tried to ask someone to ask for information, but they were all fruitless.

He naturally worried about his sister's trouble in the palace, but he would never have thought that his sister would cause a big disaster while the royal relative was escaping the summer heat.

Ganquan Palace caused an uproar because of her bold and risky but lacking in thought. She offended several of the most powerful masters in the palace. She almost died in that disaster. Fortunately, someone hid her in a carriage containing her luggage and secretly took her out of Ganquan Palace, which eventually led to her whereabouts unknown.

Du Li was worried all day long, and he didn't dare to leave Chang'an for a day without getting news from his sister for a day. He was afraid that his sister would not find him one day, so he could only survive the autumn and winter with the worry of being unable to sleep or eat every day. Until the spring of the next year, the royal family had moved the capital, and the spring trial was about to be imminent, so he could not wait any longer, so he hurriedly packed up and rushed to Luoyang.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

When he arrived in Luoyang, he saw that the prosperity here was not inferior to Chang'an. Although he was still uneasy, he was afraid that excessive anxiety would affect the test, so he forced himself to think about the benefits. For example, when did his sister have already arrived in Luoyang last year and was transferred to the Dongdu Palace to serve? Because the trip was rushed, he didn't have time to tell his brother?

He comforted himself like this, tried to calm down, so that he could put all his energy into his studies, thinking that if he could go to high school this time, he would have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the saint, and he might be able to ask His Majesty to reunite with his brother and sister. After thinking about this, his heart was filled with hope again.

In fact, he guessed it right, but only half of it. Du Juan was indeed in Luoyang, but not in the palace.

Chunling Jun Feng Qiwu, the man who saved Du Juan in a critical moment, was arranged by him. Du Juan has been hidden in his mansion since he was sent out of Ganquan Palace, and later went to Luoyang with him. She was confined to the dark room of Feng Mansion.

Feng Qiwu told her that this was a kind of protection. Only when she was regarded as a "dead person" disappeared in this world for several years. Only when the world had forgotten her existence could she go out safely and regain her freedom.

But her simple nature finally underestimated Feng Qiwu's cunning. He would not let her go, but made another plan in his heart. She could not imagine that since she saw this man, she had become a secret piece in his painstaking management and planning.

He was thinking about what day to use this piece in a profitable way to achieve the effect he wanted.

Du Li would not know her sister's situation. He didn't even know that her sister suddenly broke off at the time of the summer. The letters he had asked someone to bring to her sister were actually all in Feng Qiwu's hands.

Whenever Du Juan cried in despair and wanted to die, or tried to resist disobediently, Feng Qiwu would read these letters to her one by one, so as to give her hope and help him survive the dim years of imprisonment for the past six months.

He also grasped Du Juan's weakness by this, and wanted to bind a person's soul, make her completely surrender to herself, and restrain her with what she cares most. This is undoubtedly the best shackle.

As the last two months of the palace examination approached, it was supposed to be his most hard work, but one of the most unexpected things happened to Du Li. This was enough to change his life's destiny. In the suffering of poverty and loneliness, he did not wait for his noble man, but waited for a bad news from a bolt from the blue - his sister was dead.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

When the people from the palace brought their sister's body to him and told him that they had died suddenly in the palace with typhoid fever. At that moment, he was stunned and felt that it suddenly became dark in front of him, as if the sky had collapsed. The sky was spinning around him, making him kneel down next to his sister uncontrollably, and he uncovered the white cloth covering her. He saw his sister lying there coldly and stiffly, his face turned ashen, his eyes closed, and his lips were pale and unpopular...

He could no longer suppress his grief, and the dignified man cried in front of so many people. The crying sounded so hard that everyone present could not bear it. The palace envoy and the inn went up to persuade him with some kindness, but they really couldn't help it. Gradually, they all dispersed and left him alone in the backyard to relax.

Perhaps seeing him crying so sadly, a girl who was accompanying the palace envoy was about to walk out of the backyard and then broke back. She squatted beside Du Li, looking at him with great pity, and choked and advised him: "Young Master, no one can be resurrected, don't be too sad..."

He held his sleeves to wipe his face, sobbing so hard that he could not relieve his god: "My sister doesn't seem to die of illness... She seemed to suffer a lot before she died... Do you know how she died?"
