Chapter 376: Knowing People and Knowing Faces
Not long after Gao Xun finished visiting Cheng Jinzhi, Princess Yuanxi also returned to the palace with Yuan Peng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But at this moment, Princess Yuanxi didn't know how to face Gao Heng.
When he was in a difficult situation and needed help the most, he disappeared without a trace.
Now that the danger has just been removed, Cheng Jinzhi is seriously injured again, but she knows the truth and can't help Gao Heng fight back against the prince.
Coming back at this time is actually the most inopportune.
But even so, Princess Yuanxi still couldn't let go of Gao Heng for a moment, and didn't want to waste every second of time that could accompany him.
Even if it's just from a distance.
Even though the man in front of him was so cold that it was chilling, even from the depths of his eyes, there were a few obvious hints of hostility.
But she had long expected that at this moment, Gao Heng's heart must be full of suspicion and suspicion about Yuan Peng and herself.
"His Royal Highness King Heng really likes hindsight. When the king wanted to find you, you tried your best to hide. And when the king didn't want to see you, you came uninvited. ”
After Gao Heng placed Cheng Jinzhi, he stepped out of the room and did not let them in to visit.
Because in his eyes, this kind of visit is just a kind of pretentious hypocrisy, which will only disturb Cheng Jinzhi's tranquility.
He originally didn't want to see the two siblings, Yuan Peng and Princess Yuan Xi.
Regardless of anything else, it is said that Yuan Peng never appeared in time when Yanwangfu was in distress, and even deliberately avoided it, behaving strangely.
It was enough to make Gao Heng think that he must have some other bad thoughts in his heart.
And Princess Yuanxi, as her younger sister, has a close relationship between the two, and the brother and sister are affectionate, and most of them are also embarrassed by Yuan Peng.
Although Gao Heng still doesn't know what kind of chess game they are thinking about in their hearts.
But from now on, he reminded himself that he must always be on guard and careful, and must not let outsiders have a chance to take advantage of the Yan Wangfu.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, I am here today for this purpose. ”
From Gao Heng's words, Yuan Peng clearly heard the deep hostility, but he still had a kind smile on his face.
Since he dared to bring Princess Yuanxi back, he naturally had already thought about how to face Gao Heng and how to fulfill this lie.
It's just that he also understands what a shrewd person Gao Heng is, relying on his one-sided words, even if he can explain all the contradictions clearly on the surface.
But after all, it still couldn't convince him completely.
If you want to win his trust, you have to find another way.
"His Royal Highness King Heng doesn't need to explain, what is the heart of the people, this king can see it clearly. Besides, this king has always valued deeds more than words, and if you really had a heart, you would not have said these meaningless words now. I still have to take care of the golden branches, so please take care of them. ”
Gao Heng said coldly, raised his hand to make a gesture to send off the guest, and was about to turn around and return to the house.
"Your Highness......"
Seeing that Gao Heng completely ignored her cold state, Princess Yuanxi pursed her red lips, only to feel that her heart was suddenly sour.
"Your Royal Highness King Yan, if you had come to me in person earlier, instead of sending someone to keep an eye on me all the way and keep me on guard, I might not have taken my sister out of the city. ”
And at this moment, seeing that Gao Heng had no intention of listening to his own explanation, although Yuan Peng was eager in his heart, he still stepped forward unhurriedly.
Then he put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were covered with a serious and solemn look.
"What's the matter? Are you blaming the king for not coming to the door in time to invite you personally?"
Gao Heng said a sentence expressionlessly, and did not look back at him, his hand still on the door chain.
"Your Highness has misunderstood, I didn't mean that. Yuan Peng's eyebrows moved slightly, and suddenly his eyes froze, "I just mistook the person sent by His Highness for the assassin of Da Chu." ”
Hearing the word "assassin", Princess Yuan Xi, who was secretly sad beside her, suddenly jumped between her eyebrows, and looked at Yuan Peng a little nervously.
"Brother Huang, when you say assassin, you don't mean ......"
"That's right, I thought that His Royal Highness King Yan was sent by your eldest brother and wanted to take my life. ”
Yuan Peng sighed lightly with a complicated expression, the afterglow from the corner of his eyes gently swept over Gao Heng's seemingly unfazed face, and Princess Yuan Xi's somewhat excited voice sounded in his ears.
"No, the eldest brother won't do this, even if he doesn't like us, he won't be ruthless enough to hurt his brother and sister!"
Although Princess Yuan Xi's words were said to Yuan Peng, they set off a lot of ripples in Gao Heng's heart.
And the reason why Yuan Peng mentioned these things in front of him was precisely because he knew that the prince had wanted to kill Gao Heng ruthlessly before, and wanted to arouse the resonance and hatred in his heart.
In many cases, people who share the same sickness and hatred are often the easiest to become friends.
"Originally, this matter was also a family matter of our Chu State, and it should not be mentioned in front of His Highness, but since His Highness has doubts about me and my sister, then I have to say it. ”
Seeing that Gao Heng didn't speak, but he didn't enter the house, Yuan Peng knew that he still had the heart to listen to what he said, so he continued with a sad face.
"In fact, I don't hide what His Highness said, my imperial brother and I, that is, the crown prince of Da Chu, are just like Your Highness and the crown prince of your country. Between us, we are destined to have only one left. ”
Yuan Peng narrowed his eyes faintly, and when he said the last half of the sentence, he deliberately accentuated his tone, and the look between his eyebrows was solemn and helpless.
Hearing Yuan Peng suddenly say such words, Gao Heng's eyes flashed, and he glanced at him sideways, and gradually developed some complicated emotions in his heart.
But in front of Yuan Peng, he didn't show a trace of distraction, but took his hand away from the door, and a cold smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that although His Royal Highness King Heng has just arrived, he has investigated the affairs of this king very clearly. The people of the capital only know that the king and the royal brother are not in harmony, and they are just fighting openly and secretly. But the words of His Royal Highness King Heng are very shocking. ”
"I know that His Royal Highness King Yan is a little wary and hostile to me in his heart, but I don't say this to excuse myself, I just want His Highness to know that I can also empathize with the heaviness of being forced to turn against my own brothers and even kill each other. ”
Yuan Peng lowered his eyes as he spoke, and then raised his head to look at Gao Heng, his eyes heavy.
"So, even with this alone, there's no reason why I shouldn't be on the same side as His Royal Highness King Yan. ”
Yuan Peng said solemnly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Jun suddenly walking briskly from not far away, as if he was in a hurry.
After standing still, he presented something similar to a bag to Gao Heng with both hands.
"Your Highness, this is what our people found at the gate of the mansion after receiving that note last night. ”
As he spoke, he deliberately turned his head sideways and glanced at Princess Yuan Peng and Princess Yuan Xi on the side, and then stared at Zhengsedao.
"It seems to be something of the Chu people. ”
