Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hypocrisy

"Brother, are you here?" Gao Yang Yanxin said in a low voice.

Gao Yangduan nodded slightly, pulled his clothes, and exhaled lightly: "Wechen heard a few days ago that the saint heard about the death of Emperor Chu Cheng, and he was grief-stricken, so Wechen specially played today and came to the saint's dragon body!" ”

Li Jianguo stood up with difficulty and walked in front of Gao Yangduan with a stagger. "Uncle!" He almost fell, but fortunately Gao Yangduan held him in time: "Emperor Chao, you didn't have it, right?" Li Jianguo swallowed the cold air and shook his hand: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired these days." ”

Gao Yangduan respectfully supported him on the seat, and gave him a bowl of hot tea and put it on his lips: "Emperor Chao, you should have a cup of tea first!"

"There's Uncle Lao!" Gao Yangduan raised his hand and bowed his head politely: "Weichen can't afford it, but Weichen feels that the emperor must not indulge in grief, the dragon body is important!" ”

Gao Yang Yanxin held his hand and said, "Yes, when I think of the way you cried that night, Xin'er feels distressed, if you are like this, Xin'er doesn't know whether to ignore you or not!"

Li Jianguo nodded slightly, sank down and said: "Shun knows, Shun just thinks that Emperor Chu Cheng is so rare to be a good monarch, and it is a pity that he died young." Saying this, his face turned bitter and shook his head regretfully.

"Weichen understands your thoughts, now Li Xiao has forced the emperor to tear up the friendship agreement between the two sides of Xia and Chu, and the Chu State is a ridiculous prince who ascended the throne, I don't know what the situation in the world will become, the people have only been peaceful for less than ten years, and they will live in this dire situation again!" Saying this, Gao Yangduan sighed bitterly, and looked at Gao Yang Yanxin with a pleading gaze, "Chaohou Niangniang, Li Xiao will definitely use the current situation to oppress the saint in the future, so no matter what the situation becomes in the future, Weichen also asks Chaohou Niangniang to sink the bitterness in the master's heart, don't be impulsive!" ”

Transferred to the Qingjun Palace, after Li Xiao heard that Emperor Chu Cheng of Northern Chu had died, "Now that the ridiculous prince of Northern Chu has ascended the throne, I think the opportunity for the widow has come!" ”

"Father, what do you mean?" Li Ren beside him kissed with doubts.

Li Xiao crossed his waist and looked a little more majestic: "You go and ask the subordinates outside the mansion to invite Prime Minister Nan Cheng, and the widow can have important matters to discuss with him." He had a sneer on his lips and a ghost in his eyes.

Soon, Gao Yangduan was invited to the Qingjun Palace, and Li Xiao also prepared tea with him in advance, "Prime Minister, you are finally here, this king specially made a pot for the Prime Minister and invited you to taste, taste!" ”

Gao Yangduan used a polite face, but there was a sarcasm hidden in his words: "I thank the emperor for his kindness, but I think that the emperor must have something important to talk to him about when he summons the prime minister today, so please ask the emperor to speak quickly!"

Li Xiao smiled loudly, with a refreshing tone: "Prime Minister Nan is really a smart person, then the widow can just say it, this king just wants to ask you to take refuge in the widow today!" Gao Yangduan suddenly froze, because he didn't know what to reply to at this moment.

"The widow knows, Prime Minister Nan, you are so loyal to the two emperors and the current saint, but the prime minister, you should know what kind of person the saint is now, although you are the prime minister, you don't have any military power in your hands, how can you assist the current saint to be the opponent of the widow, if you know the prime minister, then the widow will definitely have your benefits!"

Gao Yangduan laughed in response, and there was always a trace of disgust on his polite face: "Thank you for the kindness of the emperor's order, but Benxiang has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and Benxiang only hopes to protect Benxiang's sister ......"

Before the words were finished, Li Xiaogun said first: "Taking refuge in the widow is to protect the prime minister's sister, if you keep being so obsessed, you will lose too much by then, don't regret it!" Li Xiao smiled, he raised his eyebrows, and his face looked so majestic.

"Lord Xiangling, the sister of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister knows how to protect it, so I won't bother you with the Prime Minister."

"Actually, the widow is not in a hurry, the prime minister can think about it in the past two years, the widow sees that you are a smart person, and I believe that the day is enough for you. Will give a satisfactory answer to the widow. ”

Gao Yangduan calmly took a sip of tea and stroked his beard: "I feel very much Lord Xiangling, if there is nothing else, then the Prime Minister will go back to the house first!" ”

As soon as Gao Yangduan turned around, he was stopped by Li Xiao stiffly: "How much the Prime Minister loves the current saint, the prime minister must know better than anyone else, but please remember that the current saint can be under the control of the widow!" ”

Gao Yangduan looked back, he hesitated for a moment, and then turned back and brushed his sleeves away.

At this time, Li Renhuai walked out with a wicked smile on his face, looking at Gao Yangduan's departing back, he crooked his dirty lips again: "Before, Gao Yangduan was anxious for a while, and he promised his sister to an incompetent saint, but now that the wise father has this yellow card in his hand, then he Gao Yangduan is probably not obedient father and your person." ”

Li Xiao slowly turned his body, with a little accusation in his eyes: "Huai'er, don't think that you have been carrying the widow behind the widow's back all these years to send Gaoyang Yanxin those love things to the widow without knowing it, so the widow is warning you once, without the widow's permission in the future, you must not touch a single hair of Gaoyang Yanxin!" ”

After speaking, he walked out of the house with his steps and waved his sleeves. It's just that Li Renhuai's face after standing up was so uneasy, he bit his mouth, sighed the resentment in his heart, and his treacherous smile became even more vicious: "At the beginning, this king fell in love with her at first sight and confessed his heart to her many times, but how did she treat this king, since she humiliated this king for an incompetent person." He clenched his fists and secretly widened his eyes: "This grievance, father, since you still let me endure it." sighed and complained, and in the end, he still helplessly hid the dissatisfaction in his heart, and walked into the room with a menacing attitude......

Yang Zhong of Northern Chu was in the morning for another day, but he couldn't see any trace of Yang Huajian, and he felt very unhappy in his heart, but he still pretended to be concerned in the face of the ministers: "Shun, why don't you see my brother Jian?" ”

He Qing stood up and said calmly: "Emperor Qiyu, King Chang'an, his previous summer illness has recurred, and now it is inconvenient to travel, let alone go to the court to participate in politics!" ”

"What?" Yang Zhong was surprised, and then quickly calmed down, and raised his voice and said: "Shun can hear that Shun's sister-in-law has excellent medical skills, could she not be able to do this little illness?" Yang Zhong's sneer once again made Yang Zhong's heart feel uneasy, but he still tried his best to open his mouth: "If you return to the emperor, the summer illness of the king of Chang'an is a congenital disease, and this disease can only be stable and cured, so even if the disease is cured this time, it will be in the future." He Qing shook his head and complained sadly.

After retreating from the court, Yang Hong ran to Qiu Jie and He Qing's side anxiously, "Two seniors, when we discussed this matter before, since there was no medical skill in my second sister-in-law, if the saint made a fuss about this matter, wouldn't it make my second brother?" Yang Hong's extremely worried face, He Qing comforted him: "Master Hong, don't be so depressed first, the saint just wants to cut Jianye, whether he is pretending to be sick or not, so no matter what, as long as Jianye can pretend to be sick, then Jianye can be regarded as surviving this difficulty." ”

The worry in Yang Hong's heart still did not subside, and he pointed vigorously in front of the Chang'an Palace: "What about the second sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law is the only woman my second brother really loves in this life, if something happens to my second sister-in-law, then my second brother?" Yang Hong buried his head bitterly, and He Qing gently supported his shoulders when he saw this: "Master Hong, in fact, the old man and Qiu Jie are in the same mood as you, but what's the use of being anxious, we all know what a smart woman she is in Wuyue, she will have a way!" ”

At this moment, Yang Zhong had returned to Xie Lingyun's bedside, and when Xie Lingyun saw his uncomfortable face, he took the initiative to condole: "Emperor Chao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yang Zhong sneered for a long time, and then put his hand on the bed: "Since this King of Chang'an dares to pretend to be sick in front of Shun, he thinks that Shun will let him go like this?" Yang Zhongen "hummed" and turned his head confidently to live up: "But Shun Fang has already figured out a way, how to force King Chang'an to show up." ”

Transferred to the Chang'an Palace, Wuyue was serving his husband, Yang Zhong covered his bitterness, and raised his head with a contemplative face: "Wuyue, is it really good for this king to pretend to be sick like this?" Wuyue gently stroked his cheek, and her eyes showed pleading: "What's so good, this is to save your life!" ”

"But ......" Before he finished speaking, the eunuch's shout came from outside the palace: "The emperor has arrived!" Wuyue suddenly became anxious, she hurriedly helped her husband to lie on the bed, covered him with a quilt, leaned on his hand, and cried.

"I heard that Shun's brother Jian, so Shun came to visit today, sister-in-law Jian, how is the condition of King Chang'an?" There were a few tears in his eyes, and his worried face pretended to be so realistic.

Wuyue's face was red, she turned around vigorously, and knelt on the ground again: "If you return to the emperor, the courtiers are incompetent, although they can cure the king of Chang'an, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the water in the future." After speaking, he kowtowed his head stiffly: "The courtiers are guilty, and please ask the saint to surrender." ”

Yang Zhong looked up at Yang Huajian's sad face, and pretended to be embarrassed again: "Please come quickly, you are my brother Jian's husband, how can Shun blame you like this, get up quickly!" ”

"Thank you for the imperial ......" Wuyue swallowed, slowly stood up, and was walking towards the teapot, Yang Zhong stopped her with one hand: "Sister-in-law Jian, slowly, by the way, I have to have some private affairs with Brother Jian, and it is quite inconvenient to have sister-in-law Jian, so please avoid it first." ”

Yang Zhong looked at Wuyue's face carefully, and Wuyue had been looking at his husband reluctantly, and didn't want to leave half a step. At this time, Yang Huajian coughed a few times, stretched out his right hand, and swayed vigorously: "Husband is fine, the lady should avoid it first, after all, he has something to say to me!" ”

Wuyue wiped away her tears, nodded sadly, looked back at Yang Huajian's face, and quietly closed the door......
