Chapter 11: The Tender Trap

On the morning of the second day, news came from the royal court that the emperor had summoned Helian Jialu to an audience. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Because he wanted to stay in the palace to take care of Yu Guanguan, He Qiqi and Gongye Huanhuan, Helian Jialu went to the royal court alone, and when he returned to the palace, it was already two o'clock.

Helian Jialu jumped out of the carriage here, and saw Ge Sheng striding out of the palace to greet him.

"See the Three Princes. Helian Jialu saluted her brother and said, "How long have you been here?"

"As soon as you left with your front foot, I arrived with my back foot. I didn't expect Father to summon you in the morning. What's the matter?" said Ge Sheng as he turned around and walked back with Helian Jialu.

"The emperor asked me about the attack, expressed his concern, and said that someone had been sent to investigate it. ”

"What can you do after the investigation, is it possible that your father will ask Mushroom to make amends for you?" Ge Sheng mentioned the eldest prince's Mushroom, obviously still angry.

"You were so impulsive to find the eldest prince yesterday, nothing happened, right?"

"I had a falling out with him. ”

"It's for me......"

"You're all hurt, how can I be indifferent? Besides, I've been tolerant enough of him, and our conflict will erupt one day. ”

"Did you fight?"

"It's the first time I've fought him in earnest. However, I was afraid that the matter would make a big fuss and push you to the forefront, so I swallowed this breath. ”

"Ge Sheng, you don't have to be so nice to me. Helian Jialu looked at Ge Sheng, and was moved to her heart again, and her mood was very complicated.

"I'm not good to you, I'm going to be nice to whom. Ge Sheng smiled lightly, as if he was saying to Helian Jialu, and as if he was talking to himself.

"But......" Helian Jialu stopped talking, and there was a trace of sorrow between his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?"

“…… You promise me first, listen to me, you won't turn around and leave like yesterday. ”

"Okay, I promise you. ”

"Your Majesty...... And said another thing to me. Helian Jialu bit her lower lip and said softly in as gentle a tone as possible, "It should be after you and the eldest prince have made a move...... The eldest prince asked the emperor for a marriage. ”

"Marriage?"

"Hmm. Let the emperor marry me to him. ”

As soon as Helian Jialu's words fell, Ge Sheng's face changed suddenly, and Helian Jialu hurriedly said when he saw this:

"Don't worry, the emperor didn't promise him. ”

"Why did he ask his father to marry him? It was all to get revenge on me!" Ge Sheng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What does my father mean by telling you this?

"I don't know the emperor's mind. The emperor just asked me...... I like the eldest prince or the third prince. ”

"Then you ......" Ge Sheng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Helian Jialu expectantly.

"I said it was you. Helian Jialu lowered his eyes and whispered, "But I don't want your brothers to quarrel because of this, so I ask the emperor not to give him a marriage." ”

"Jialu, do you know, even in this case, I am already very satisfied if you can say that you like me. Don't worry, I won't let my father decide your marriage at will, and you will definitely be able to be with Guan Shu. Ge Sheng said with a smile, but there was a mist in his eyes, he hurriedly blinked his eyes, and said pretending to be chic.

Looking at Ge Sheng like this, Helian Jialu's heart was sour, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch Ge Sheng's cheek, thinking about what he was going to do to him next, and his guilt suddenly rose.

Helian Jialu's fingers were cold, and they soaked into Ge Sheng's skin with coolness, but there was a warm current surging in Ge Sheng's heart. Ge Sheng took Helian Jialu's right hand that stopped on his face with his left hand, and said clearly:

"As long as you're happy, anything. ”

With Ge Sheng's words, a tear suddenly slipped from Helian Jialu's eyes, and the next moment, Helian Jialu suddenly threw herself into Ge Sheng's arms, hugged him and cried silently.

"I said the wrong thing, I shouldn't have made you cry...... Don't cry......" Ge Sheng suddenly panicked.

And Helian Jialu just wept and didn't say a word.

"Do you want to shut him down? miss him, want to see him. ”

Helian Garlu shook her head.

"Afraid that your father will let you marry Mushroom?"

Helian Jialu shook her head again, and then nodded.

"No, even if you fight for my life, I will protect you. ”

"I don't want you to be desperate...... What am I going to do if you die......" Helian Garlu said with a sob.

"Jialu, what are you talking about?" Ge Sheng's heart jumped, unable to believe what he had heard.

Helian Jialu raised her head, looked at Ge Sheng with teary eyes, gasped twice until her breathing was even, and then said:

"You're the most hated person because you're so good, too nice to me. If it weren't for the emperor asking me this question, I wouldn't have found out that you have stubbornly entered my heart little by little. ”

"What you say is true......"

"I like Guan Shu, but I haven't thought about what it will be like if I can't marry him one day. But I really feel so sad at the thought of being able to marry the eldest prince instead of you......"

"You have entrusted me with this heart, and I will not fail you in this life. If you wish, I can even give up the honor and wealth of the royal family and fly away with you. I love you, Jialu. ”

"What's the harm in eloping with you?" Helian Jialu was annoyed by the lies he had promised, and angry at the act of deceiving Ge Sheng's trust, his expression was ashamed and angry, but in Ge Sheng's eyes, he was just a shy look.

In the face of sudden happiness, Ge Sheng only felt joy in his heart, his mind was hot, and he had fallen into the gentle trap of Helian Jialu, and then said as she wished:

"Let's go today, turn things into facts, and no one can object. ”

Helian Jialu burst into tears and nodded.

"You and Yelu Lin pack up our things, and I'll 'borrow' the queen mother's chariot, and half an hour later, we will meet on T-shaped street in the east of the city. ”

"Good. ”

Ge Sheng stared at Helian Jialu like a treasure for a moment, took her into his arms and hugged her tightly for a while, before turning to leave.

~~~

Just after noon, the figures of Helian Jialu, Kong Lin, Yu Guanguan, He Qiqi and Gongye Huanhuan appeared in the alley southeast of T-shaped street in the east of Weidu City.

"According to what we have agreed, Brother Lin and I will take the road to the west, from the south to the intersection of T-shaped street, and take the carriage prepared by Ge Sheng. Helian Jialu said with a gesture of his finger.

"General Yu and I took the road to the north, turned left in front, and approached the position of the carriage from the east. He Qiqi then said.

"I followed behind the county lord, and when Yelu brother blocked the sight of the third prince, I appeared, pretending to hold the county lord hostage, and took the carriage out of the city together. Gongye Huanhuan also repeated the plan and said.

"And when Miss Huan Huan distracted the attention of the three princes, her mad brother and I could hide under the carriage at the right time. Yu Guanguan finally concluded, "The rest will wait for the opportunity to act after leaving the city." ”

The five nodded to each other, confirmed the next move, and then parted ways as planned.

Helian Jialu and Konglin walked westward, turned to the north at the entrance of the street, and when they were a few feet away from the intersection of T-shaped street, the third prince Ge Sheng, who was waiting here, just opened the curtain of the carriage and saw the people coming, and his body was about to move.

At this time, Kong Lin took Helian Jialu's burden, folded it in his hand with the burden he was carrying, and made the appearance of putting the burden into the carriage first, and took two steps quickly. The alley was not wide, and Konglin's figure was much taller than Helian Jialu, coupled with the fact that the two of them deliberately covered it up, at this moment, Ge Sheng could only see Konglin alone in his field of vision. After a while, after the figure and line of sight were misaligned, behind Ge Sheng and Helian Jialu, there was suddenly an additional Gongye Huanhuan who quietly followed the two.

Ge Sheng couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Gongye Huanhuan's figure at first glance, and the next moment Gongye Huanhuan made a series of actions to sneak attack Helian Jialu and hold him hostage, which made him even more unable to react.

"Huan Huan, why are you here? What do you mean by this?" Ge Sheng jumped out of the carriage with an arrow, and out of nervousness for Helian Jialu, he moved forward a short distance.

"Sister Gongye?" Helian Jialu had a surprised expression on his face.

"I don't want to hurt Sister Helian, I just want to borrow the carriage of the third prince to send me out of the city. Gongye Huanhuan put the blade of the sword towards Helian Jialu's neck and approached it half an inch, and looked directly at Ge Sheng and said.

"I just heard about the death of Mr. Gongye this morning, and he did not hesitate to die to clear his name, and I only feel sorry and sad. Zuo Qiu Yu once fought with the masked man outside the courtyard of Gongye's house, and was escaped by him, that person is you, right?"

"Not bad. I was away for a few days, and I didn't want to come back when it all turned out to be like this. My father has been loyal to the court all his life, and it is rare for the three princes to believe it. But the rest of the people accused my father of committing suicide in fear of sin, so Huan Huan became the daughter of a criminal minister, and she could only hide in the city to save her life. Today, I followed the county lord, I wanted to seek the protection of the county lord, but when I saw the third prince, I changed my mind. Huanhuan's death is not a pity, but she still has to save her life to rehabilitate the Gongye family. Please make it happen to the three princes. Gongye Huanhuan's words were emotional, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, as if she was weak and aggrieved.

While the few people were talking, Ge Sheng's attention completely left the carriage, and Yu Guanguan and He Qimad took the opportunity to hide under the carriage, grasping the horizontal wood at the bottom of the carriage with both hands, and at the same time hooking the wheels with both feet to keep their bodies steady.

After Kong Lin made sure that Yu Guanguan and He Qimad had acted properly, he lowered his voice and deliberately said to Ge Sheng:

"Maybe the county lord can be snatched back unscathed. ”

When Ge Sheng heard this, his heart softened, and he immediately denied what he said, subconsciously chose the opposite approach, and said without hesitation:

"No, get out of the way and let them get in the car. It's just one more person, so be more than one companion. ”

"Yes. ”

"Huan Huan thanked the three princes first, and asked Sister Helian to forgive her sins. Gongye Huanhuan put away the sword in her hand and said.

"Don't mention the past, Sister Gongye, let's go. ”

After Helian Jialu and Gongye Huanhuan got into the carriage, Kong Lin also sat in the carriage close behind, and Ge Sheng sat in front of the carriage and drove towards the city gate in the east of the city.

~~~

The carriage went straight to the city gate, and the city gate guard recognized the regulations of the carriage, and saw the three princes driving in person, so they immediately stepped forward and saluted in unison:

"See His Royal Highness the Third Prince, see the Queen Mother. ”

"Well, excuse me. Ge Sheng waved his hand and said casually, "My mother and I have something to go out of the city, so don't open the city gate soon." ”

"The emperor decreed that no one is allowed to enter and leave the city gate at will, even if it is the car of His Royal Highness and the queen's mother, it must be checked before it can be released. One of the guards said dutifully.

"But how did I hear that when the eldest prince led the crowd out of the city to hunt yesterday, the guards were all passing by quickly, and there was no time to check everyone's identity. If you have the courage to magnify the prince's people and go out of the city, you still dare to stand in the way of the queen mother today! Or do you mean that in your eyes, the queen mother and I are not as majestic as the eldest prince?" Ge Sheng pretended to be angry and said.

"The villain doesn't know who the person who magnified the prince out of the city, but since some of us have neglected their duties, the villain definitely doesn't dare to make the same mistake again. The guard insisted and refused to take a step back.

Outside the carriage, Ge Sheng's brows furrowed, and he was already quickly calculating countermeasures. Inside the carriage, Konglin's right hand was raised slightly, as long as someone dared to open the curtain of the carriage, he could suddenly attack and cooperate with Ge Sheng to forcibly break through the city gate. Under the carriage, Yu Guanguan and He Qimad exchanged a look, signaling to wait and see.

In the brief moment of stalemate between the two sides, Gongye Huanhuan suddenly broke the silence and said slowly in a voice that could be heard outside the carriage:

"In the whole world, except for the emperor, no one can hinder the palace. Since you are under the banner of the emperor, whoever wants to inspect the carriage, just come and check it. However, this palace has a word first, if anyone sees the appearance of this palace at this moment, this palace authorizes the three princes to kill him on the spot. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone inside and outside the carriage was shocked. On the one hand, Gongye Huanhuan imitated the queen's voice vividly. On the other hand, the composure and coldness in her words conveyed a chill, which made people suddenly lose the courage to disobey the queen.

And such a "clear" and "real" queen's voice gave an order, and the behavior of who Ge Sheng will kill next will not be too abrupt. As for what is unremarkable about the queen's appearance at the moment, no one dares to be curious for a while.

The guards looked at each other and said with their eyes:

Everyone has heard of the queen's power, that is, the emperor still has to give the queen three points, so that he has not accepted concubines for many years.

The queen will not do anything that disobeys the emperor's holy decree, so why should we offend the queen and the three princes for this matter.

Anyway, I'm not going to check the carriage, I'm going to check you.

After several people "discussed", they took a few steps back almost at the same time and made way for the city gate.

"Open the city gate and send off the queen mother and the third prince. The guard, who had been the most persistent, also withdrew, and commanded the gates to be opened.

After some twists and turns, the carriage finally escaped the inspection of the guards at the city gate, passed smoothly, and then drove out of the city with a group of people.

As the carriage passed into a wooded field east of the Vidu, and the group breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, Ge Sheng slowed down the carriage slightly, and spoke:

"Thanks to Huan Huan's quick wisdom just now. Why didn't I notice that your voice is so similar to the queen mother? ”

"I was also laughing and talking to my senior brother once, and he suddenly noticed it. Although there are similarities, after all, they are still different, but if you try it in a hurry, who would have thought that you could really succeed in deceiving the guards at the city gate. Gongye Huanhuan replied.

"We kind of helped each other this time. Now out of town, where are you going?"

"Your Highness, please give me another ride, leave the search range of the Vidu guards, and tomorrow I will go south. Gongye Huanhuan deliberately prevaricated and said casually.

"Are you looking for your senior brother?"

"Hmm. ”

"Such a big thing has happened to the Gongye family, and his situation is probably dangerous. ”

"He's my only relative. After Gongye Huanhuan finished speaking, several people fell silent.
