Chapter 453: Like a Wolf and a Tiger
As the figure not far away gradually became clear and clear, Gao Heng, who had been calm and calm, couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows, as if he felt a trace of surprise and vigilance about the arrival of this person. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Who's that guy? He seems to be coming towards us. ā
Cheng Jinzhi squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, but he didn't have any impression of this person in his mind, thinking that he was burdened by amnesia again, so he could only close his mouth and watch how Gao Heng introduced.
When he raised his eyes, he saw that Yuan Peng had already walked lightly, and walked to the two of them with a kind face.
"His Royal Highness King Yan is polite. ā
He bowed to Gao Heng with a smile, but there was no surprise in his eyes, as if he had expected to meet here, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Before Gao Heng could return the salute, after seeing Cheng Jinzhi standing on the side with a suspicious face, his eyes suddenly flashed in surprise.
"Princess Yan is polite. During the period when the princess was ill, she went to the palace to visit several times, but in order to allow the princess to recuperate, His Royal Highness never let outsiders disturb her. But now that I see that the princess is looking good and looking radiant, and I think that she is as safe as ever, I am finally relieved. ā
Listening to Yuan Peng's somewhat high-sounding words of condolence, Cheng Jinzhi could only echo the far-fetched smile, probably because of Yuan Peng's handsome and cheerful appearance, so he did not have any disgust.
But because she didn't know what to call it, she could only look at Gao Heng beside her subconsciously with a look of help.
After all, Cheng Jinzhi didn't want to reveal the fact that he had made a mistake in his brain and became an amnesia syndrome.
"His Royal Highness King Lao Heng is concerned, Jin Zhi is indeed much better. ā
Gao Heng's tone was indifferent, although he had already guessed in his heart that Yuan Peng and Princess Yuan Xi had a close relationship, he must have already known the fact that Cheng Jinzhi had lost his memory.
But even so, since Yuan Peng didn't mention it in person, he didn't want to take the initiative to talk about it.
And hearing Gao Heng's name for Yuan Peng, coupled with the fact that he was not wearing Chu clothes today, Cheng Jinzhi couldn't help but wonder even more in his heart, and he couldn't guess the identity of the other party.
It's just that the only thing that is certain is that although these two are both princes, since they are commensurate with their titles, they must not be brothers.
"But what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness King Heng in this palace. ā
Gao Heng stared at him as if he had pointed out, and waited for Yuan Peng's answer with a silent expression.
"His Royal Highness King Yan is wrong this time, the reason why Zai Xia appeared here is not a coincidence, but I heard that His Royal Highness King Yan accompanied Concubine Hui Niangniang in Guangling Palace, so he came here. ā
"Specially here?" Gao Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Then I don't know why His Royal Highness King Heng specially entered the palace to find this king?"
"If it is said that it is specially entered the palace, it is not. ā
Yuan Peng pursed his lips with an embarrassed expression, and after hesitating for a moment, he pretended to be mysterious and approached Gao Heng to lower his voice. "In fact, it was the queen mother who suddenly sent someone to summon her to enter the palace. ā
Hearing Yuan Peng mention the queen without hesitation, Gao Heng's eyes darkened, obviously a little surprised by his answer.
From Shen Jun's mouth before, Gao Heng had already learned that Yuan Peng had entered the Zhenghe Palace to meet Empress Zhao.
According to his guess, since the prince's life experience may be related to the king of Chu, Yuan Peng, who is the prince of Southern Chu, entered Zhou with Princess Yuanxi this time, and most of them have different intentions.
Now that he has entered the palace on the cusp of rumors to meet Empress Zhao, who is a person in the bureau, it is difficult not to think that these two people have actually colluded with each other for a long time, and even have some unknown conspiracy.
But at this moment, seeing Yuan Peng take the initiative to mention this matter, Gao Heng suddenly didn't know, what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd?
But on the surface, he still pretended to be curious when he just heard it, and a faint look of surprise flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Oh, in the impression of this king, His Royal Highness King Heng and the queen mother have never had anything to do with each other in private, and because of the incident in the imperial study last time, she should have a grudge against His Royal Highness, why did she suddenly send someone to invite her in person?"
"Yes, I don't hide what His Royal Highness King Yan said, I was also shocked when I heard that the queen mother suddenly sent someone to find me. I thought she wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate against me because of the prince. ā
Speaking of Empress Zhao's summons, Yuan Peng suddenly changed his previous restraint and politeness, pretending to stroke his chest exaggeratedly, and at this moment it was more like treating Gao Heng as a friend who could speak out.
"But His Royal Highness King Yan is so witty, he must have guessed that the queen mother is looking for me at this time, what is it for?"
"For what?"
In the face of Yuan Peng's slightly deliberate change in attitude, Gao Heng still looked calm and indifferent, as if he didn't want to sublimate the lukewarm relationship between the two.
Because it is very likely that the man standing in front of him at this moment, who seems to be pleasant and approachable, is actually a powerful enemy hidden in the shadows.
However, when His Royal Highness King Heng said the word "at this time", it reminded the king. If there is anything that worries the queen the most now, it is naturally the rumors about the prince's life outside. ā
"His Royal Highness King Yan is really like a god. ā
Yuan Peng nodded approvingly, his eyes flowed, and his cheeks suddenly tightened solemnly.
"But Your Highness must not have guessed that the queen mother actually suspected that this rumor was deliberately spread by our Chu people. In the mind of the queen, it turns out that our Da Chu has always been a group of jackals, tigers and leopards eyeing your country, and as soon as the rumors come out, the light will shake the hearts of the people, and the country will be frustrated, so that we can take advantage of the fire to rob. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous. ā
Yuan Peng shook his head helplessly as he spoke, as if he was very angry about this, although the gloomy color in his eyes was hidden, it was enough for Gao Heng to spy on it.
In fact, when Yuan Peng entered the Zhenghe Palace, he thought that according to Gao Heng's power, there must be eyeliner everywhere in the palace, and within a few hours, he would definitely know that he had seen Empress Zhao alone.
In addition, now that rumors are flourishing outside, it is reasonable that he should not have any contact with Empress Zhao who is at the center of the whirlpool at this time.
Instead of making Gao Heng suspicious and more wary of himself, it is better to find him first to explain the matter.
As for whether he believes it or not, that's all for later.
What's more, more importantly, he already knew from Empress Zhao that Gao Heng had long been suspicious of the prince's background.
This rumor is mostly Gao Heng's advice behind the scenes.
In this case, now that he is taking the initiative to take the blame through the mouth of the queen, even if he can't convince Gao Heng completely, he must be able to temporarily let him relax his vigilance.
