Chapter 8 Lotus Pond
After Zige silently retreated from the bead curtain, he saw that Wei Fang was also watching the farce in front of Fang Cai Pavilion intently, and his heart sank, so he stood with his head bowed like the palace maid beside him, looking at his nose and nose, and his mind was silently thinking about the new moves he learned when he practiced sword with Song Qingshu before.

I don't know how long she stood there, until she felt a slight soreness in her knees, and then she heard the footsteps of several people going out. She was about to step forward, but found a dark figure walking out first.
"Congratulations to the emperor."
Wei Fang took the lead and said, everyone in the room knelt on the ground, and before Zige could see his face clearly, he hurriedly lowered his body and pressed his head very low. I saw a pair of tall black shoes stepping in front of him, walking away slowly, and Gonggong Cen followed behind him with broken steps.
"Let's go to Weiyang Palace first." Gao Yang said in a deep voice, his voice was hoarse and heavy, but it was far from his impression.
Zige lowered his head, not daring to take a breath. However, in just a few dozen steps, she felt that time passed extremely slowly.
Her heart was beating very fast, and her mind was jumbled with the scene of her mother's beheading in public, and the cold decrees she had read later in the Qingluan newspaper.
The Yang family is immoral, the witch Gu is chaotic, it is advisable to move to the back position, and the Yang family is innocent, and they will all be ambushed......
More than 80 people from the Yang family of the Qing Dynasty were beheaded on the street by the Lin family and their young daughters......
She closed her eyes, and the Gao Yang in her memory was still vaguely the 'emperor's uncle', the one who would push her swing under the flower tree and give her the rare treasures of the tribute, the one who pointed at her and said with a smile, "Gao's revival, supplemented by Yang's". And now, he has become the murderer of his whole family, although the culprit of this incident is someone else, but this volatile gentleman's heart makes Zige extremely cold.
can force his wife to death with his own hands, kill his best friends, depose his relatives and children, but still have no change in his face, and in a blink of an eye, he will set up a new queen and support a new love, such a ninety-five honor, what kind of city should it be, and how ruthless it is?
"Get up."
Zige was thinking about it when a pair of strong hands firmly supported her elbows and pulled her up from the ground. She noticed that her legs had fallen to her knees after standing for a long time, and her slender nails had gently sunk into her palms.
She raised her eyes to look at Mu Lixuan, and saw that he shook his head almost invisibly, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if laughing at her for being so breathless, but there was pity in her eyes. She stood still, steadied herself, and smiled at him.
"Lord Mu, please go this way with the minions." Wei Fang smiled flatteringly, Mu Lixuan bowed, and followed him out of the warm pavilion, Lian'er glanced at Zige, her face flashed with care, and while others were not paying attention, she gently pinched her palm, and it was like a warm current pouring into her heart.
"My brother still has to discuss peace with several ministers in charge, and he will not make peace with us until dinner."
Zige nodded, and wanted to ask her about the situation of the saint inside, but it was not good to speak rashly in front of the palace maid and eunuchs, and it happened that someone from outside the pavilion came at this time, so she immediately returned to the state of lowering her eyebrows.
The person who came was a palace maid with a good face, exquisite costumes, and decent manners, and the grade was not low.
"The slave maid is Qi Nan, and the queen mother came to invite the county lord to sit in the Jiaofang Palace." She smiled sweetly and gave a salute to Lian'er, her movements neat.
Lian'er hurriedly raised a smile and responded, "Thank you...... The queen is gracious, please ...... The girl led the way. ”
Because she is not used to speaking elegant words, she stutters a little when she spits out words, although the pronunciation of each word is correct and round, but when it is connected into a sentence, it is inevitably a little weird. Qi Nan didn't care, and led the way with a respectful demeanor.
Zige pursed her lips and chuckled, silently following behind. Lian'er has been learning Yayan for more than a few months, listening to her, three years ago, King Nanzhao invited a female official to teach, but she can still make people aware of her Nanyin. I don't know how long Mu Lixuan practiced hard at the beginning, so that he could say that Yayan was so flawless, and he was no different from Qi Ren?
The three of them went out of the garden, and went around the palace a few times, Zige thought about his thoughts, just walking, and didn't pay attention for a while, but turned into a lakeside promenade. Although the scenery on both sides has changed greatly, the lotus pond has not changed at all. At this time, the lotus flower in the pond has been disabled, and only the lotus leaf is really left, just like the old appearance when she and Liu Yuzhang rashly rescued Gao Zhan here that winter.
She was thinking about the past, but Qi Nan suddenly stopped and saluted to a person: "The slave has seen the king of Chengjiang." ”
Gao Zhan stood alone under the porch, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the lotus leaves that were pouring in the wind in the distance, thoughtful, not at all as complacent as when he came out of the warm pavilion. Seeing that it was Qi Nan, he nodded slightly, but his eyes moved to Lian'er behind her. Zige was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to be submissive, for fear that he would recognize him.
"County Lord, after parting from the ship, I haven't seen you for many days, can everything be okay in Beijing?" His voice was low and magnetic, and his eyes were dark and invisible.
Lian'er gave a gift and replied reservedly: "Thank you for your concern, Lian'er...... All is well. ”
He nodded, "If you need anything, just send someone to the palace to report it." You are all guests from afar, and you can feel at home, and Your Majesty can rest assured. ”
"Hmm...... Lian'er got it. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is very good, and there is nothing missing. Seeing that he was just looking at the lotus pond, Lian'er couldn't help but blurt out, "The prince has been standing here for a long time, but he has a soft spot for this water?" ”
Gao Zhan looked at her and replied as usual: "This lotus pond is lush and green, the scenery is very good, and this king has just come out of the palace of the concubine, so he stopped here to rest." ”
"Oh...... Lian'er also thought that the king of Chengjiang was very good in water...... "Lian'er muttered quietly, Zige secretly screamed that it was not good, but what she said was already difficult to collect.
The investigation of the mysterious boy has not yet reached a definite result, but Lian'er rashly asks questions in front of the most suspicious mastermind. If this fox knows that Lian'er is very attentive to that son, I don't know what tricks he will come up with to take advantage of this relationship.
Gao Zhan looked at her, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips: "The county lord has misunderstood, this king has always been ignorant of water. However, this lotus pond is very shallow, but it is also harmless to people. ”
Lian'er's face showed undisguised disappointment, but she was fully seen by Gao Zhan.
"Presumably, the mother concubine should be in a hurry, so the county lord will go with Qinan first. After the palace banquet in the evening, I will talk to Prince Mu and the county lord. He waved his hand slightly, and Qi Nan led the two of them to another path.
When he came to the corner, Zi Gefang quietly glanced through the afterglow, but saw Gao Zhan still standing in place, staring fixedly at the lotus pond in the distance. When the cold wind blew, the coldness in his eyes was revealed.
