Concubine Hui stood there staring at Gao Heng for a long time, and the pain of the old days welled up in her heart, and her eyes gradually moistened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You still want to fight?"

"Why don't you fight?" Gao Heng's eyes were dark, "Erchen has no choice. ”

"No, you have a choice. Concubine Hui took Gao Heng's hand, "As long as you rein in your edge, withdraw from this dispute, and no longer be an enemy of the crown prince, in a few days, I will ask Your Majesty for my life." After the crown prince ascends the throne, you, my mother and son can leave the capital and live a peaceful and stable life. ”

Gao Heng sighed lightly and raised his eyes to look at the snow in the air: "Mother, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, it is precisely because Erchen has forbearance with you and retreated everywhere that the sinister people will be pressed step by step, inch by inch." Now that the prince and the queen are eyeing each other, if the sons take advantage of the defeat and retreat, they will inevitably fall into the tiger's den and die for a lifetime, even if they can wait until the prince ascends the throne, the prince is narrow-minded and will definitely exclude dissidents, and the ministers and mothers will bear the brunt. So... Rather than sit back and wait now, you can only give it a go. ”

"No, the prince is not such a heinous person, as long as you and I bow down to you, you are his own brother, he will not be so cruel to you. ”

Concubine Hui said with a choked voice, but her expression was full of sadness and contradictions, she obviously didn't believe what she said, but she didn't want to admit it. Or, she is afraid to admit it, and she and Gao Heng really have no way out.

"I don't want to see you take any more risks, I don't want to be scared of you anymore, and I don't want you to make any mistakes. When I went to the Western Jin Dynasty, my mother didn't have a day to eat well and sleep well, and every time I dreamed back at midnight, I could always see you in danger, desperate and bloody, but I couldn't do anything. When I woke up, tears wet my pillow. ”

At the end, Concubine Hui trembled her heart from the past, and finally couldn't help crying.

Over the years, she seems to be light and light, indisputable, unhappy or sad, but how many people have been able to glimpse the bitterness and bitterness behind her? She is not a timid and fearful person, and all the reasons for her nervousness and fear are because of Gao Heng.

"Mother. ”

Gao Heng clenched Concubine Hui's hand, and her cold eyes were full of complicated feelings, and finally burst into tears. "Is my mother really so unconfident in her son?"

"Of course not. Mother pins all her hopes on you, how can she not have confidence in you?" Concubine Hui's eyes were resolute, and a trace of fear suddenly appeared in her eyes, "But have you forgotten how Concubine Lan and King An died back then?"

"The mother is not Concubine Lan, and the son-in-law is not King An. Gao Hengjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said, "Besides, Erchen has always believed that this matter was not all done by the queen back then, and there must be other people to help." This man was before, and still is, and Erchen can feel that he is waiting for an opportunity behind him, as long as we relax a little, we will be pushed down the abyss and never recover. We have no way back. ”

Concubine Hui shook her head, and there was a bit of grimness between her eyebrows: "But all this is just Heng'er's speculation, maybe there is no such person you said at all." The current situation in the court is clear at a glance, if there is such a person, he must be in a high position, and there are only a handful of such people, do you want to say ......?"

"Erchen doesn't know yet. Gao Heng's eyes flashed slightly, "But it won't be long before he will show his fox tail." ”

"Concubine Lan is Lord Cheng's own sister, this matter hit him hard, and he even did not hesitate to offend the queen for this, and it was impossible to assist the prince. Although the Empress Anhou is the elder brother of the queen, he has long been idle and has no intention of ruling the government, so how can he seek trouble for himself? And General Chen, who has been fighting with troops outside all the year round, and has also saved you in the Western Jin Dynasty, if he really has the intention of causing harm, why did he save him in the first place? In addition, I really can't think of anyone else who meets the person you described. ”

Concubine Hui said thoughtfully, but her heart became more and more uneasy.

The snow in front of you is blind, obstructing the red walls and green tiles in the distance, and the mountains and mountains are lofty, which makes people unable to see really. It seems that there is a lot of fog coming back, just like the situation of her and Gao Heng at the moment, she can only be in it, but she can't see the longitude and latitude ahead.

"The most terrible thing is the human heart, before everything is judged, Erchen will not let go of any possibility. ”

Looking at Gao Heng's resolute eyes, Concubine Hui realized that even if she said 10,000 words, she couldn't shake his determination. Perhaps a long time ago, this determination has been deeply rooted in his bone marrow, supporting him to forge ahead all the way and overcome obstacles.

How can he be willing to overturn all his previous efforts with his own hands today?

"After all, it was your mother who was too useless and made you suffer too many grievances and tribulations when you were a child......"

Concubine Hui lowered her eyes, and her words were full of self-blame.

"It's none of my mother's business. Gao Heng looked at Concubine Hui and said seriously, "You have sacrificed too much for your son, it's your turn to protect you." ”

Concubine Hui took a deep breath and stopped talking, and finally smiled with relief. But in this smile, there is clearly a little worry and helplessness.

"Then you promise your mother that no matter what happens, you must protect yourself. And Jin Zhi, she is now your princess, you also have to take care of her feelings, and treat her well. Even if ......"

Concubine Hui stopped suddenly, as if she was worried, and Gao Heng beside her had already said: "Mother thinks that her son married her because of love?"

"Whether it's because of love or not, I know that Heng'er has her in your heart. Concubine Hui smiled softly, "You have been calm since you were a child, everything has been carefully considered, my mother doesn't believe that you will compromise and seek perfection, I don't believe that you resolutely begged your father for marriage in front of the civil and military officials in the main hall, all because of kindness, it was just because she wanted to save her." ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from your eyes. Gao Heng smiled faintly, "Erchen admitted that he decided to marry Jin Zhi at that time, and he was indeed selfish. It's just that a lot of times, you gain something and you're bound to lose more. ”

When Gao Heng said this, his expression froze, and a trace of pain and guilt gradually appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Erchen often wonders, did he do something wrong?"

"What do you mean... To your friend named Gu Hanqing?" Concubine Hui said cautiously, "Although I don't know what happened between the three of you, but he gave up the golden branch first, and it is reasonable that you did not do anything wrong." What's more, I can feel that Jin Zhi also has feelings for you. ”

"He's really... Have you given up on the Golden Branch?"

Gao Heng muttered to himself, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Concubine Hui was looking at him worriedly, so he turned his face and said, "Mother, it's cold outside, let's go in." ”

"Heng'er. ”

Concubine Hui suddenly stopped him and spoke earnestly.

"Don't let this become a knot between the two of you, since you are friends, you should be open and honest. The most terrible thing in this world is to change from acquaintance to stranger, and even from stranger, to antagonism to enemy. ”
