Chapter 36: Desire to Rise

The gray sky was filled with thick clouds that were pressed by black, and it seemed as if it was about to fall. The originally lively street vendors have also closed their stalls, as if they had expected the coming rainstorm.

Along the way, Gao Xun only felt inexplicably tight. Even though there were a few gusts of cold and wet wind blowing occasionally, it still couldn't blow the annoying heat in the air, and it couldn't dissipate the boredom in her heart.

The climate in Kyoto is really not as comfortable as in Jiangzhou.

Back in the house, Gao Xun went straight to the house, but Bai Sang was nowhere to be seen. There was a sudden chuckle in his heart, and he hurriedly pulled Xuelian and asked, "What about Madame?" ”

In front of the prince's rare appearance of anxious white face, Xue Lian hurriedly bowed her head and responded:

"Madame went to the Yanwang Mansion."

Gao Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then frowned again: "She is the only one?" ”

"No, no, I also brought Frangipani with me, and Mrs. said that she was going to find Princess Yan to catch up with her."

Go to Princess Yan to catch up? Although Gao Xun's face was slightly softened, he still wrinkled his eyebrows. He began to paced back and forth in the house, and it was difficult to sit still. Xue Lian looked at the prince's uncertain appearance, and she didn't know what was important, so she just became anxious to follow.

"Boom—"

At this time, there was a long muffled thunder outside, and the sky was completely overcast. The rain, which seemed to have been gathering for a long time, finally fell tricklingly, crackling and smashing on the ground, splashing inky water.

Gao Xun looked at the heavier and heavier rain outside, thought about it for a while, couldn't hold back the worries in his heart, and still planned to get up and go to Yanwang's Mansion to pick up people in person.

But before he left the house, he saw that Ye Ziliang had already entered the door with a few people, rushed to the front, saluted Gao Xun, and said, "Your Highness, the thief who snatched the bracelet has been found." ”

Gao Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stopped and followed him into the house and asked, "Oh? What about people? ”

"Man, he was dead when he found it."

"Dead again?!"

As soon as the words fell, Gao Xun suddenly kicked the wooden chair next to him, his eyes were full of anger: "How did you die?" ”

"Drowned, and when the person fished it up, he was already dead. I used to compare the portraits, and they were exactly the person we were looking for. Ye Ziliang said bluntly, as if he was thinking about something, and took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Xun: "Your Highness, this is the jade bracelet found from that person." ”

Gao Xun took the bracelet in his hand and took a closer look, it was indeed the jade bracelet that he gave to Bai Sang and was robbed that day.

However, how did the man who snatched the bracelet die so coincidentally?

Gao Xun held the bracelet and couldn't help but think of the accidents that happened last night and this morning in the General's Mansion. I returned to Kyoto for just a few days, but I had two accidents inexplicably, as if someone was secretly working against me!

There may be no relationship between the two. Gao Xun clenched his fists, and was about to inform the master in front of him about this morning's events and ask him what he thought, but he heard Xue Lian shouting at the gate:

"Lord Wang, Madame is back!"

Gao Xun raised his head when he heard this, put the jade bracelet in his arms, and said in a deep voice to Ye Zi: "Master, the little thief fell into the water and died, and you have to take someone to continue to investigate thoroughly." I don't think it's an accident. ”

Ye Ziliang frowned and nodded, and then the prince couldn't wait to leave the house.

As soon as he ran a few steps, Gao Xun bumped into Bai Sang, who had entered the mansion.

I saw that the person in front of me was splashed with water, and his clothes were almost soaked! The hair that had been slightly tossed by the wind stuck to his cheeks, and there were still a few drops of water falling and sliding into the snow-white neck, which seemed to make it difficult to take his eyes off.

Gao Xun didn't have the heart to notice these at this moment, and hurriedly returned to the main hall with her, the fire in his heart had already overflowed, his face was flushed, and he asked the maid on the side loudly:

"Frangipani, what's going on!"

Su Xin had never seen the prince so angry, and her voice trembled a little:

"I, it rained on the way back to my house with my wife, and I didn't bring an umbrella, so I got drenched like this."

She had been in Jiangzhou and had never been anywhere else, so she didn't know that the weather in Kyoto had changed so fast. When I went, the sun was shining, and when I came out, only the wind was blowing, and the distance between the two houses was also close, and it was less than half an hour away, and who knew that it was raining heavily.

Su Xin secretly raised her eyes and looked at Gao Xun, who was pale, and felt that she was so innocent.

"Don't you know that you are taking your lady to find a place to hide from the rain?"

When Gao Xun heard this, he was still fierce, and asked angrily.

Madame, don't look for a place to hide, where can you blame me? Su Xin secretly felt sorry for herself in her heart, and she didn't dare to say it. The prince was furious, she almost looked like she was going to eat herself, how could she dare to talk back again.

"Ah Xun, it's none of her business, I'm in a hurry to come back."

Bai Sang stepped forward, took Gao Xun's hand, and answered for her.

Gao Xun touched the cold fingertips of the person in front of him, and a nameless fire suddenly surged in his heart.

"Hmph, this king hasn't said anything about you yet!" Gao Xun was angry, and his worries and anxiety had turned into anger at this time. glared at her fiercely, and said angrily: "Didn't you tell you to stay in the mansion well? You went up to the Emperor's Mansion alone, in case someone intentionally harmed you, and you were injured and had an accident like that day, how should I save you in the General's Mansion? Well? Have you taken the king's words to heart?! ”

Outside, the thunder roared, vaguely mixed with the whirring wind, but there was oppressive silence in the palace hall. I could only hear the sound of dripping water in front of the eaves getting faster and faster, and the people under them also tightened their hearts and did not dare to move.

Bai Sang looked at her, moved his lips, and did not say a word.

Gao Xun waved his hand, sent someone to prepare water for Bai Mulberry to bathe, and then went back to the house alone angrily.

Bai Sang had no choice but to take a bath, change his clothes and return to the room, push open the door, and saw Gao Xun lying on the soft couch with his legs half-crossed, his hands pillowing behind his head.

There were no candles lit inside the house, and it was a little dark as outside. From this angle, only her closed eyes and slightly frowning brow could be seen.

Looking away, there was already a steaming bowl of ginger soup on the table next to him.

Bai Sang's heart warmed, pursed his lips, and walked to her and sat down.

"Okay, it's me who didn't do it today." Bai Sang lowered his head, looked at her and whispered.

The slightly damp hair on her shoulders also drooped down and fell on Gao Xun's face, with some fragrance and some itching.

Gao Xun opened his eyes helplessly, and the person in front of him was staring at him intently, still drowning in the water with a gentle expression.

"Don't be mad at me, Ah Xun?"

Gao Xun pursed his lips, moved his head, removed the hair on his face, and still looked at her with a straight face and twisted his eyebrows.

The dimly lit room suddenly lit up, and then there was a deafening thunder.

"Boom—"

The whole room seemed to tremble. Gao Xun felt that the person in front of him trembled obviously, and the fingertips grabbing his sleeves tightened. sighed, simply reached out and pulled her to lie down together, and then hugged the person in front of him into his arms.

The two of them lay quietly like this, listening to the thunder outside, which rang out and weakened. Gao Xun's anger has always come and gone quickly, and after thinking for a while, he finally opened his mouth first: "Your father, who was harmed?" ”

Bai Sang was stunned, as if he didn't expect Gao Xun to ask this. He buried his head in her arms and did not reply.

When I returned to Kyoto this time, I was afraid that I would not be able to be peaceful. Gao Xun Fang lay on the couch alone and thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what someone was doing like this. I have never had a holiday with anyone, and in Kyoto, I dare to hurt the princess of Jin, do my hands and feet in the general's mansion, have such an identity, and have contact with me on weekdays, Gao Xun only thinks of two.

If Gao Heng had already made his position clear to him earlier, and had never done anything to threaten his throne, why did he do this? If it was Gao Yan, what was his intention to do this?

After thinking about it, Gao Xun suddenly thought again, in addition to himself, could it be that Bai Sang's parents' previous enemies came to the door again?

Seeing that she was silent at the moment, Gao Xun didn't want to ask again, maybe he guessed wrong. stroked her hair, and sighed slightly: "I'm just worried about you, I haven't been stacked out of accidents in the past few days, and I don't want anything to happen to you because of this." ”

"I know."

Bai Sang nodded lightly in her arms, opened his mouth, and pursed his lips again. Gao Xun couldn't see her wanting to speak and stop, so he just hugged her and said sullenly:

"Sometimes, I really wish I could go to this prince and prince, change into women's clothes, and take you to find a small place that no one knows about."

The thunder outside the window had stopped at some point, and the rain had become less and less. It seemed that the sky was beginning to clear again, and it was slowly brightening.

Bai Sang put his hands around her waist and sighed softly:

"I want to, too."
