Chapter 516: The Disaster of the Pond Fish
"No, I promised the third brother to take care of Jin Zhi and Concubine Hui, I have to go out to save them, I can't let my father listen to the traitorous ministers, and fall for the tricks of the prince and the queen!"
In the Jin Palace, Gao Xun frowned impatiently, pacing around in front of the hall door of the main courtyard, and Cheng Xiuning, who was on the side, was dazzled, and pulled the corners of his mouth in disgust, but he was also worried about it.
"I said His Royal Highness King Jin, you really know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you prefer to go to the tiger mountains, so many pairs of eyes are staring at you outside, I wish I would also give you a crime of rebellion, do you have any brains?"
Cheng Xiuning put down the teacup and glared at Gao Xun, her tone sounded full of resentment and blame, but it was more of a throw.
"Even if you want to jump into the fire pit, don't bother me, when I was a child, my mother once asked a master to calculate a hexagram for me, saying that I will become a phoenix and a phoenix in the future, and the number of lives should not be extinct, I don't want to die with you. ”
Although her words were prickly and impersonal, they were actually to cover up the deep worry and fear in her heart.
She is now not only the second lady of the Cheng family, but also the princess of Jin as the royal family, if the Jin palace suffers a catastrophe, as Gao Xun's family, she will naturally be affected and will not be spared.
What's more, in the day and night with Gao Xun, even though there is still no shortage of quarrels between the two all day long, in Cheng Xiuning's heart, in addition to worrying about her own situation and future, she also hopes that Gao Xun, who is her husband at this moment, can be safe.
As for Cheng Jinzhi, her younger sister who has been bullied by her since she was a child, in fact, as early as when she was kidnapped by Yuyin Villa and rescued by her, there was very little plausible hatred left in her heart.
Even if he can't be said to be grateful to her, in Cheng Xiuning's heart, he doesn't want to see her head in a different place and her family ruined.
After all, between her and Cheng Jinzhi, there is no insurmountable "Gu Hanqing" like Cheng Sujin.
"Hmph, don't worry, I will do things by myself, and I will never drag you into the water, let alone prevent you from becoming a phoenix!"
Gao Xun snorted angrily, but he had no intention of arguing with Cheng Xiuning as usual, but felt that his mind was chaotic and fell into a deep depression.
Although the Jin Wangfu is not surrounded by the forbidden army like the Yan Wangfu, it is really difficult to step out of the palace, but after all, he has had a close relationship with Gao Heng since he was a child.
Even though Emperor Zhou didn't have any superfluous words about this son on the surface, he secretly sent people to be placed around the Jin Palace, keeping an eye on his every move in case of emergency.
First, it is to prevent him from secretly helping Gao Heng in private, and secondly, it is also to test whether he is really in the same league with Gao Heng, who has a rebellious heart.
And although Gao Xun seems to be arrogant and heartless on weekdays, he also knows that once he wants to rescue Cheng Jinzhi or assist Gao Heng, he will inevitably be punished by Emperor Zhou for the same crime.
But when he thought that these people he cherished were all in the midst of fire and water at the moment, facing the threat of death from time to time, the awe-inspiring righteousness and affection in his chest gradually forced back the fear of disaster that had been shrouded in his heart.
"My father has so many sons, only the third brother has always been the best to me, every time I get into trouble, he comes forward to solve it for me, and Concubine Hui also treats me like a parent. There is also Jin Zhi, I am an unfavored prince, I have not had many friends around me since I was a child, and she is the only one who doesn't care about my identity, cries and laughs with me, and tells me the truth. She's my best friend, they're all very important people to me, and I can't just watch them happen!"
"Yo, that Cheng Jinzhi is really your savior. Now I'm calling myself a friend, but I sound so reluctant?"
Cheng Xiuning rolled her eyes sourly when she heard this, but before she said a few words, she no longer continued to be sarcastic, but restrained her expression and sighed with a complicated expression.
After being silent for a long time, I saw her looking down at the ripples in the teacup and the green leaves floating, and then deepened her eyes, very seriously, and said a sentence a little sadly.
"I'm afraid that if you go out through this door, you'll never come back. ”
Gao Xun was still frowning and worried, but when he heard Cheng Xiuning's words, he couldn't help but tremble, a sudden light flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look at her in some surprise.
Although the two always quarreled more than they were in harmony in the palace, they tirelessly fought and squeezed each other all day long, not at all like a newlywed couple who had just gotten married.
But in the past few days, in such seemingly never-ending laughter and scolding, even if they have never revealed their hearts to each other, they can also perceive that some things have been quietly brewing in silence, but they are just tacitly acquiescing.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not worried about you, I'm just... I just think that I haven't been the princess of Jin for long, and I haven't enjoyed all the blessings I should enjoy, if you have any three long and two short, even if I don't die, this princess will definitely not be able to do it, you have to compensate me!"
Looking at Gao Xun's deep and hot eyes, Cheng Xiuning's eyes flickered, she pursed the corners of her lips a little awkwardly, and hurriedly spoke out to justify, her eyes fluttered, but it was difficult to hide the girl's shyness.
Gao Xun naturally heard the overtones in her words. Looking at the woman in front of him who originally made him cry and grab, and would rather die than marry, he suddenly felt a little charming and cute at this moment.
Gradually, I saw that his eyebrows gradually stretched, and a gentle and relieved smile spread on his lips, and the original heavy anxiety and uneasiness in the air began to ease.
It's just that just as Gao Xun wanted to say something, he heard a noise outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Liu Bai, the housekeeper in the palace, hurriedly stepping through the door and closing the door, and after looking around very vigilantly, he solemnly fell his eyes on his master.
"Steward Liu, why are you flustered, what's wrong?"
"Your Royal Highness, just now the little one went to the street to buy the silk that the princess wanted, and was hit by a person dressed as a warlock, but who knew that he said a word to the little one. ”
"Charlatan, what did he tell you?"
Gao Xun stared at Cheng Xiuning beside him in surprise, obviously feeling a little puzzled by this, and saw Liu Bai leaning into his ear and whispering.
He asked His Royal Highness to enter the palace on the day the prince returned to the court, and he had to enter through the Zhengyang Gate. ”
"That's it?"
"Yes, that's it. ”
Gao Xun blinked thoughtfully when he heard this, but suddenly tensed the muscles in his cheeks, and his eyebrows tightened.
"It's... Could this be a letter sent to me by the third brother......"
