Chapter 297: Falling into the Arts
The reason why Cheng Jinzhi did not persuade him, but left the courtyard in a hurry, it seemed that he was afraid of being affected by the-for-tat confrontation between these two men, but in fact, he was already in a mess in his heart and did not know what to do.

At this time, she couldn't think of any better way than to give herself and them a little space.
In Cheng Jinzhi's view, only she, the "culprit", can take the lead in Gao Heng and Gu Hanqing to calm things down, instead of being like two children, who are always stalemate and entangled in words.
For a moment, she even felt that there seemed to be a little truth in Zhang's opening and closing mouth to call herself "broom star".
With this complicated and heavy feeling, Cheng Jinzhi originally thought of leaving the palace and went straight to Shuyu Pavilion, but after seeing the skirt corner torn by the branches, he could only go back to the room and change into light men's clothes, and shouted to go with her alone.
In the past few days, the whole palace has been talking about Gao Heng's marriage to Princess Nanchu in private, but no one is happy about it.
Especially after seeing Cheng Jinzhi's unreasonable and unusually calm appearance, everyone looked at her with a little more worry and sympathy, lest this be the tranquility before the storm.
Indeed, behind Cheng Jinzhi's seemingly calm acceptance, he is actually secretly suppressed and tries his best to disguise the illusion he created.
She was neither noisy, angry, nor sad at the moment, just because she didn't want Gao Heng to feel more sad and blame herself.
"Heng'er is willing to ask me for your life to personally lead the troops north, and he will never return to the court if he does not break Chu. Since he can spare his life for you, shouldn't you also make a sacrifice?"
This was a sentence he whispered in his ear after seeing Emperor Zhou outside the imperial study that day.
Although his tone made people feel cold, the moment he thought of Gao Heng, Cheng Jinzhi's heart was overflowing with warm warmth.
And this warmth gradually dispelled the incomparably heavy haze in her heart that was originally brought about by this marriage.
Because at least, she has a man who really cherishes and loves her, and is also deeply attached to her.

"Miss, it's been a while since that incident, why did this Bai Su girl stay in Shuyu Pavilion and not leave? At this time, she suddenly sent someone to send a letter to ask you to come over, could it be because the money given to her last time was not enough, and she wants to blackmail us again?"
Taxue was originally a chatterbox on weekdays, but after walking silently beside Cheng Jinzhi for a while, seeing that his master's expression was quite peaceful, he couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"I don't know, but looking at her, she shouldn't be the kind of girl who will blackmail people for money. Cheng Jinzhi pursed his lips thoughtfully, "Since she sent someone to the palace to deliver the message, maybe there is really any difficulty, right?"
Taxue nodded when she heard this, but the expression on her face was a little hesitant, and she hesitated for a moment and said uneasily: "Don't blame the slave and maid for being too talkative, isn't there a saying that 'nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief'?" The slave and maid always feel that this Bai Su girl is looking for you to go to the Jade Pavilion at this time, and most of the time there is nothing good. ”
Listening to Taxue's slightly worried words, Cheng Jinzhi couldn't help but feel a little unsteady in his heart.
It's just that instead of sitting in the mansion waiting for the day when Princess Yuanxi swaggers and marries into the palace, she would rather make herself look busy.
Even just wandering aimlessly outside is better than being at home in front of the walls and the air.
The Shuyu Pavilion in front of him is still full of people, the music is melodious, after inquiring where Bai Su is, Cheng Jinzhi went directly to the "bamboo" music room on the second floor.
And because the letter specifically stated that Cheng Jinzhi would come alone, she deliberately let Taxue stay outside the room and stepped into the door alone.
What Cheng Jinzhi didn't know was that in fact, from the moment she entered the Jade Pavilion, someone had already been hiding in the dark to observe her every move, leading her step by step into the trap that had been set up a long time ago.
As the door behind him was slammed shut from the outside, the sound of the swirling music became much weaker.
Cheng Jinzhi subconsciously glanced back, turned around and saw that Bai Su had not come out to greet him, so he cautiously took a few steps forward.
"Miss Bai Su, are you there?"
She shouted softly twice, and saw that the surroundings were still very quiet, and she did not get the slightest response, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised in her heart.
The structure of each room in this pavilion is similar, and a large screen will be used as a shield between the piano table and the outer room, which can be used for decorative beauty and elegance, and also used to separate two different spaces for different purposes.
"Did they bring the wrong room? Or did Miss Bai Su wait too long for me and fall asleep?"
Seeing that there was no shadow of Bai Su as far as his eyes could see, the unsteady feeling in Cheng Jinzhi's heart couldn't help but be more obvious at this time.
Looking at the silk screen depicting the "lush bamboo sea" in front of him, if Bai Su was really in this music room, the only place he could hide in was the piano platform behind this screen.
So Cheng Jinzhi told herself very firmly in her heart that if there was no figure of Bai Su behind this screen, she had to quickly turn around, spread her legs, open the door, and leave this room!
With a slight apprehension, Cheng Jinzhi quickly bypassed the screen to find out, but as she expected, Bai Su was indeed sitting on the piano platform behind the screen.
It's just that she didn't feel Cheng Jinzhi's arrival, but lay motionless on the piano platform and closed her eyes, half of her face buried in the crook of her arm, as if she was sleeping very deeply.
"Wouldn't I have come in the middle of the night, and I'm sleeping like this now?"
Cheng Jinzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth with some disgust, and after seeing him, most of the original nervousness in his heart dissipated.
It's just that she is not one of those merry men who admire beautiful women outside, she doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and she is not so caring to wait until she wakes up naturally.
So he walked forward directly and raised his voice regardless of etiquette: "Miss Bai Su, Miss Bai Su, don't sleep, wake up." ”
But the strange thing is that no matter how she shouted, Bai Su seemed to be asleep, and there was no reaction at all.
Looking at Bai Su, who was "surprisingly quiet" in front of him, Cheng Jinzhi unconsciously frowned, stepped forward and tentatively reached out and pushed her.
However, it was okay not to push, this push actually pushed Bai Su off the piano platform, and fell heavily on his back on the stacked mats laid around.
At the same time, Cheng Jinzhi was horrified to find that Bai Su in front of him was pale and bloodless, and there was a large blood stain on the placket of his clothes, and there was a sharp dagger stuck in his chest!
It wasn't that she couldn't fall asleep, but she fell asleep!
It's just that before Cheng Jinzhi screamed in fear, he suddenly felt a sudden pain in the back of his head, and his eyes went black, and he was unconscious.
