Chapter Fifty-Eight: Looking at the Moon in the Water

The news that Gu Hanqing was taken away by Tu Lingsi soon caused a commotion in the capital. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Gu family has a big business and sits in all directions, so they naturally made friends with many powerful and high-ranking officials, including Cheng Yan, the minister of Yasukuni. But because of this, there are not a few people who are hostile to the so-called tree. For a while, forces everywhere heard the wind and were eager to try, waiting for an opportunity to rise up.

But fortunately, the Gu family has a deep foundation and can be shaken by very many people, even if Gu Hanqing is invited to the Tu Ling Division for questioning, because he can implicate thousands of people alone, except for Gao Heng, there are many people who want to save him from danger, but Tu Ling Si acts secretly and does not leak the news, and no one dares to act rashly before he finds out the facts of the case about the prison of the Criminal Department.

Although Cheng Jinzhi, who was in the palace, had also heard some rumors, she had never been very interested in the government's arrest and conviction, and she didn't know much about Tu Lingsi, so she only thought that the son of a high-ranking official was guilty, so she didn't inquire more.

After seeing the letter by chance in the study that day, her whole person has been in a sullen state, although some things know that the dust has settled and will not make waves again, but when the facts are in front of you and make people clear at a glance, the kind of sadness that has been hidden and forgotten in the corner of the heart will still be touched, involving the memories of the past that are difficult to recover.

She didn't want to find out when the letter began, nor did she want to know Gao Heng's state of mind after reading it, she didn't want to think about anything, she didn't want to guess anything, she just desperately wanted to see Gao Heng, talk to him, or snuggle up in his arms and cry, and then fall into a deep sleep.

But what puzzled her was that since Gao Heng hurriedly stepped out of the study that day, when she came back, her attitude towards her had become a little different from usual, as if she was deliberately distancing. Even if he met, he didn't say a few words, and he would put on an "ice cube face" of "everyone in the world owes him money and didn't pay it back", which made Cheng Jinzhi depressed and angry.

It's as if they have returned to the days when they first came to the palace, the wall between her and Gao Heng has not been broken, the thin veil has not been lifted, and it seems that everything has never happened. Cheng Jinzhi felt that he had not only become a "resident" of the palace back, but also a "resident" who was not treated well by the host.

It was night, the twilight of the year was cold, and the water outside the window was dripping into ice.

The stove was slightly drunk, steaming with the fragrant magnolia fragrance in the room, urging people to fall asleep, but Cheng Jinzhi lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. She looked at the empty couch opposite, and an inexplicable sense of resentment surged up in her heart again.

This is the fourth day, and Gao Heng lived elsewhere without saying a word, leaving her alone in the bedroom sulking and pulling the quilt.

The people in the palace who didn't know thought that there was something awkward between them, and even Cheng Jinzhi couldn't help but ask himself questions-

Did I him off somewhere?

Did he find out I read the letter?

But that letter was originally written to me, and I don't blame him for handing it over in time to understand the righteousness, how could he, a big man, be so narrow-minded?

Cheng Jinzhi complained while stuffing her head into the quilt and pretending to be out of sight, but after a while, she took off the quilt and sat up from the bed.

After repeating the cycle several times, she finally couldn't bear to kick off the futon and jump out of bed, put on a cloak to keep out of the cold, and prepared to go to Nanyuan to visit Gao Heng at night.

Rather than sitting there alone and thinking nonsense, it is better to rush over and ask for clarification. Growing up, she didn't like vague and ambiguous things, nor did she like to figure out people's hearts. Since Gao Heng is now like wind, rain and fog, she simply turned into a lightning bolt and took the first step to chop him away.

Cheng Jinzhi thought about it, wrapped his clothes tightly, and sneaked out of the bedroom while stepping on the snow to find a small breath for plums.

After all, it is a newlywed wife who keeps an empty house alone to find a husband who snubbs her, whether it is in face or reason, this is not a glorious thing. In case someone knows about it, I don't know what kind of shocking version it will be added to.

The weather was cold, the cold wind at night was biting, and it was so cold that Cheng Jinzhi's teeth chattered, and he wanted to turn around and crawl back into the warm quilt several times. In the end, of course, what she did was to speed up the pace of progress.

Fortunately, Nanyuan was not far away, and before she turned into the corridor, she saw that the study was still lit from a distance, and it was this light that made her forget the chill in an instant, and trotted all the way with her cloak on, so that when she arrived at the door of the study, she was not only panting, but also sweating.

Although she was already full of confidence before, she wanted to be so and so cloudy, but when she really wanted to question Gao Heng in person, her "lightning" instantly lost its momentum and turned into a candlelight that was about to burn out.

"Cheng Jinzhi, if you want to say that the chain fell at a critical moment, no one dares to call you the second. ”

Cheng Jinzhi rubbed his hands and took a deep breath, just about to reach out and knock on the door, but the door opened automatically.

There is no doubt that the person who opened the door was Gao Heng.

After seeing Cheng Jinzhi appear in front of him, he was slightly surprised at first, and then, the pity in his eyes was fleeting, and he quickly regained his cold and serious face.

"What are you doing at the door in the middle of the night?"

"I... I'm coming for you. ”

Cheng Jinzhi pouted unnaturally, and felt a little nervous in his heart.

After all, this is the first time she has grown so big, and she has volunteered to take the initiative to find a man to complain, and she is still a man who likes peach blossoms on her face, but hates her teeth itching.

"Come in first. ”

Seeing that she kept rubbing her hands, Gao Heng couldn't help but twist her eyebrows lightly and called her into the room.

Entering the room, there was less erosion from the biting cold wind, and in front of the stove, Cheng Jinzhi's body quickly warmed up a lot.

"You sit down for a while, and I'll send someone to send you back after I've reviewed this document. ”

Gao Heng glanced at her helplessly, walked to the front of the case and sat down, and didn't pay attention to her anymore.

"I'm not going back!"

Cheng Jinzhi saw that his attitude was so cold, and his blood surged for a while, and he put his hands on his bookcase.

"I'm going to go back and go back together. ”

"What?"

Gao Heng raised his head and looked at her in surprise, but quickly shifted his gaze back to the official document and said indifferently: "Recently, I have been busy with affairs, I will be stationed here in Nanyuan, and I will not go back to you to sleep for the time being." ”

Cheng Jinzhiken ran to the study and stood in front of him on a cold winter night to "make a lot of nonsense", if this was placed in the past, it should have made him happy, but now, because of the contradictions and guilt in his heart, he had to pretend to be indifferent to himself.

"What I'm there and you're there, it's the same as having three wives and four concubines. ”

Cheng Jinzhi muttered with a flat mouth, seeing that Gao Heng was still ignoring her with his head down, the sparks in his eyes were sparkling, and he snatched the official document on the table in a fit of anger.

"Don't use any official business as an excuse, are you deliberately avoiding me?"

Gao Heng was stunned for a moment, put the pen on the inkstone, and raised his eyes slightly: "No, you misunderstood." ”

"I wasn't mistaken. ”

Cheng Jinzhi looked at Gao Heng's cold and indifferent face, as if he had been stabbed by a needle in his heart, although the wound was small, it was painful.

She lowered her eyes for a long time before she asked a sentence in a daze.

"Is it my own wishful thinking from beginning to end?"
