Chapter 55: Ice and Snow Know
After noon, the snow was a little lighter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Snow has piled up on both sides of the streets of the capital, making the otherwise spacious roads seem cramped.
Gao Heng sat in the carriage with a grim expression, and a cold chill shrouded his body, which made people unable to figure it out and dare not approach.
"Are you sure that Han Qing has returned to the capital a few months ago?"
"That's exactly what the people who came back from Quanzhou said. Shen Jun on the side responded, "My subordinates could have informed His Highness of this matter in advance, but since the first batch of people sent to Quanzhou has not been heard from so far, there is no news until now." ”
"How could the people sent out by the good guys suddenly have no news?" Gao Heng said with a solemn expression, "Obviously, someone is obstructing us and wants to prevent us from meeting, and those people should have already encountered an accident." ”
Shen Jun was taken aback and frowned: "But since Young Master Gu has returned to the capital, why hasn't he gone to His Highness so far?" His subordinates have sent people to the Gu Mansion many times to inquire, but the people in the Mansion claim that the Young Master has not returned to Beijing yet, is there anything wrong in the middle?"
"You should remember that just two months before my wedding, there was no news after a letter to Jin Zhi was sent from Quanzhou, and the letters I sent were all lost in the sea. Gao Heng's eyes were deep and said, "Besides, I looked through the letter again just now, and found that although the handwriting on the letter was extremely similar to Han Qing's handwriting, there were a few places where the traces of deliberate imitation were too heavy. This also confirms that the reason why this letter is only a short sentence is because I am afraid that there are too many words and it will be easy for people to read it. ”
However, Shen Jun asked coldly: "Your Highness, isn't this a letter to the princess......?
"Ahem, did you get the point wrong?"
Gao Heng coughed twice in embarrassment, and the expression on his face looked a little unnatural.
"Subordinates know mistakes, subordinates know mistakes. Shen Jun couldn't help but smile and said, "Then according to what His Royal Highness said, there have always been people hiding in the dark to sow discord and confuse the public, the purpose is to use the princess to alienate the relationship between you and Young Master Gu?"
Gao Heng smiled coldly: "It's not so much alienation, it's better to say that that person wants to see us turn against each other." ”
As soon as the words fell, the carriage had already stopped at the gate of Gu's mansion.
"This is His Royal Highness King Yan, can you young master Gu be in the mansion?"
Shen Jun stepped forward to ask the guard outside the door, the guard hurriedly saluted, and was hesitating how to answer, Gao Heng had already stepped forward and said bluntly: "You go and tell your young master, if he refuses to come forward today, I will not leave." ”
The guard was startled, but he still said with a sad face: "Your Highness, we... Our young master, he is not in the house..."
Gao Heng's eyes were sharp and said, "You want to tell me that your young master is not only not in the mansion, but also in the capital, right?"
"It's... Yes..."
The guard replied hesitantly, without confidence in his words.
Gao Heng's face sank, and he grabbed the guard's clothes, and the cold in his eyes came to his face: "This king will say it again, go and tell you the young master, if he doesn't appear, I'll just wait here, do you hear?"
"Listen... Hear that, little one, go ahead!"
The guard was instantly frightened, and was about to rush into the mansion to report, only to see that Gu Hanqing was already dressed in green clothes, and walked out with a calm face, with a smile as indifferent as water on his lips.
"His Royal Highness King Yan I know is not going to be angry with others. ”
Gao Heng looked at him in a daze, stretched his frowning sword eyebrows, and his originally cold eyes dispersed the frost and snow, faintly revealing a beam of light. However, from Gu Hanqing's eyes, in addition to the diffuse mist, he saw a trace of hostility, which made the light in his eyes gradually dim.
For this reunion after a long absence, although Gao Heng has been brewing in his heart, when the two really meet, this strange sense of alienation is like a haze in his heart, which makes him sad and regretful.
"You really have already returned to Beijing. ”
"It's the same whether you come back or not, whether you are there or not, in fact, it doesn't matter. Gu Han sighed lightly, "I don't know why, I always have a hunch that I will meet some people I haven't seen for a long time today, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
Walking into the mansion, Gao Heng glanced around a few times, stared at Gu Hanqing's back, and finally spoke: "Since you're back, why do you deliberately hide it from me?"
Gu Hanqing walked ahead, and when he heard the words, he suddenly stopped, and his tone was tepid: "I just don't want to disturb you." ”
"We?" Gao Heng's eyes darkened, "What do you mean... Me and the Golden Branch?"
Hearing Cheng Jinzhi's name, Gu Hanqing was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Your Highness may not know that on the day I returned to the capital, I went to the palace to look for you. It's just that the palace was lit up and festive that day, and I suddenly felt as if I was from another world......"
Gu Hanqing smiled bitterly when he said this: "After all, I left first, I think my arrival will only add trouble and sorrow to you, instead of embarrassing everyone, it is better to let me retreat to the dark, and it is also a kind of adult beauty not to disturb." ”
Gao Heng looked at Gu Hanqing's resolute and sad face, only to feel like a fish in his throat. There are too many words to talk about, and there are too many troubles lingering in his heart, Gu Hanqing reveals his longing for Cheng Jinzhi between the lines, and in his eyes, he has just become the person who snatches love with a knife.
At this moment, Gao Heng suddenly realized that the misunderstanding between him and Gu Hanqing was no longer able to be clarified in a few words. Even if it is clear, many people and things have changed with the situation, and they are no longer what they used to be.
So much so that in the end, you can only simply jump out of your throat a few words: "It's not what you think." ”
"It doesn't really matter what it looks like anymore. Gu Hanqing's eyes condensed slightly, "As long as Jin Zhi is happy now, it is enough." ”
"Isn't it really important?" Gao Heng's eyes sharpened, "You obviously still love her, why don't you admit it?"
"What about His Highness?" Gu Hanqing asked in an accentuated tone, "Isn't His Highness love for Jin Zhi?"
Gao Heng didn't expect Gu Hanqing to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Whether he answered yes or no, the person who was injured and deceived was Gu Hanqing.
"Why didn't Your Highness speak?"
Gao Heng's eyes closed slightly, he took a heavy breath, and said: "If you don't see each other, how ruthless is affection." Just a few days before my father's wedding, I received a letter from you to Jin Zhi, which contained these two sentences. ”
Gu Hanqing frowned slightly: "I haven't written this letter." ”
"I know. Gao Heng said seriously, his eyes suddenly filled with shock, "So that's the crux of the matter, do you understand?"
