76: Suspicion
Ashin asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The guard said, "Just now a child sent this letter, saying that it must be opened by the prince himself. ”
Ah Xin said: "Okay, leave it to me." ”
Ashin took the letter and saw that there was no word, and he couldn't help but wonder, he didn't even write his name when he wrote the letter, he touched the things in the letter again, and it was bulging, and he shone it in the sun again, like a ...... No, like a woman's hairpin, he thought about it and turned around and went back to the study.
Gao Xu heard the sound of the door opening, and seemed to be displeased: "Why did you come in again?" ”
Ashin said softly: "Childe, someone sent a letter, saying that you must let you open it yourself. With that, he placed the letter in front of Gao Xu.
Gao Xu took a look, picked it up and opened it, Ashin saw that it was indeed a hairpin, put the hairpin into the letter, and did not write a signature, it must be a young lady who loves Gongzi and is embarrassed to show his identity, thinking of this, Ashin couldn't help laughing.
Gao Xu glanced at Ashin and didn't say anything, just threw the hairpin aside and continued to do things.
Ashin retreated again.
The next day, he entered the palace at the behest of the Queen Mother to go to Shoukang Palace to speak, and just stepped into the palace gate, but met Gao Qian.
Gao Qian said lightly: "Why did the fifth brother enter the palace today?" ”
Gao Xu said disdainfully: "Only the third brother is allowed to enter the palace, can't this king enter?" ”
Gao Qian smiled and said, "This king just asked casually, why should the fifth brother distort the meaning of this king?" ”
Gao Xu sneered in his heart and did not respond to him.
Gao Qian saw that he was silent, so he continued: "Fifth brother's tone, this king knows that you are for Lan Xin's business, why isn't this king worried about her?" ”
Gao Xu sneered, "If you're really worried about her, don't gloat here, or pray for Xin'er to come back safely." ”
When Gao Qian heard this, his face was a little ugly, and he was speechless.
Gao Xu glanced at him with disdain, snorted coldly and walked away from him.
When he came to Shoukang Palace, Gao Xu saw that the Queen Mother was squatting in the garden in the courtyard and didn't know what to do there.
Gao Xu watched from the side for a long time before he slowly spoke: "The Queen Mother is really interested." ”
At this time, Gao Xu's voice came from the side of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother looked sideways and saw that it was Gao Xu, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "You kid, why do you walk without a sound, which startles the mourning family." ”
Gao Xu said with a smile: "Erchen can't bear to disturb you when he sees that you are very interested. ”
"Staying in this Shoukang Palace all day long, if you don't find something to do, I'm afraid people will be demented." Saying that the Queen Mother was about to get up, Gao Xu hurriedly helped the Queen Mother up.
"Hey...... When people are old and useless, they feel back pain after squatting for a while. ”
Gao Xu helped the Queen Mother to the couch in the hall, "According to Erchen, it has nothing to do with age, you are the Queen Mother, how can you do this kind of rough work, so you will feel back pain when you do it occasionally." ”
The Queen Mother sighed lightly: "What you said also makes sense, the mourning family has indeed not done this kind of rough work for a long time." ”
At this time, the palace maid beside the Queen Mother brought two cups of hot tea, one for Gao Xu, and the other cup was placed next to the Queen Mother.
Another palace maid brought a basin of water and prepared to clean her hands for the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother glanced at Gao Xu and asked, "The mourning family hasn't seen you for a month, what have you been busy with lately?" ”
Gao Xu took a sip of tea and said lightly: "It's nothing, I'm just busy with some business." ”
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, but she didn't think so, "But the mourning family looks at your face is not very good, is it not good to rest?" ”
Gao Xu said, "Is there one?" Why don't you think. ”
"There are some things that can't be forced, the so-called life sometimes has to have, life has no time to force it, I'm afraid these truths don't need to be said by the mourning family, you also understand?" After speaking, he glanced at him.
Gao Xu was so smart, of course he could understand what the Queen Mother said, and he smiled faintly and said, "Erchen understands." ”
A moment of silence.
At this time, the Queen Mother wiped her hands and seemed to feel a little thirsty, so she took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Do you know what the most sacred thing in this world is?" After speaking, the Queen Mother glanced at Gao Xu, saw that he was stunned, and said: "It is time, time will not stop because of the loss of someone, on the contrary, it will dilute everything, all sadness or happiness, it is the fairest thing in the world, and it is also a precious medicine." ”
Gao Xu was silent, as if in deep thought.
The Queen Mother said earnestly: "You are the son of the mourning family, although the mourning family is not your biological mother, but you are also the mourning family watched grow up, and the mourning family does not want to see your heart be decadent like this." ”
At this time, Gao Xu got up, bowed deeply to the Queen Mother, and said, "The Queen Mother's words, Erchen remembered." ”
Back to the palace, Gao Xu came to the study, reviewed all the rest of the folds, and when it was time for dinner, he stretched his waist and sorted out the folds, but saw the hairpin he threw aside, Gao Xu curiously picked up the hairpin and leaned on the chair, and looked at it carefully, this hairpin looks extremely ordinary, only a few pennies of the thing, even if a famous lady admires himself, it is impossible to send this kind of goods, and ordinary people are even more unlikely to know his identity, how can he send this kind of thing? Thinking of this, I can't help but wonder.
Gao Xu looked at it for a long time, so he folded the hairpin slightly, and the hairpin broke, and there was a roll of white things hidden in it, Gao Xu was startled, and couldn't help but sit up straight.
He opened it and saw that there were a few lines of small characters on it, and he was surprised, he recognized the handwriting, "Black-faced God, I will definitely come back to you when I finish the business in hand, don't make a noise, wait for me to come back." After reading it, he was surprised and delighted, it turned out that Xin'er was not dead, she was still alive.
He looked at the note again, what happened to his heart? Why didn't you inform him until now? And to inform him in such a way? Could it really be that someone harmed him? Thinking of this, he immediately destroyed the note.
Inside the Tanglin Palace.
Shen Lanxin and Taxue were hiding in a corner of the Hundred Gardens.
Walking in the snow from time to time to probe out, at this time, she saw Guo Zheng coming from not far away.
Taxue hurriedly said, "Princess, people are here." ”
Shen Lanxin tidied up the clothes on his body, pretended to walk out of the corner with the box in his hand, and deliberately collided with Guo Zheng, the box in his hand fell out at once, and the ice silk brocade handkerchief inside fell out, revealing eight words, "The hand of the son and the son grow old together".
Guo Zheng took a look, this Jinpa was exactly the same as the one she gave him back then, but there were eight more words on this Jinpa.
Treading snow and holding Shen Lanxin, Shen Lanxin pretended to be knocked out and said, "Oh, who is this?" Why don't you look at the road? ”
Guo Zheng came back to his senses and saw that the other party was Shen Lanxin, so he hurriedly bent down to apologize, "I'm sorry princess." ”
Shen Lanxin was straightened by the snow and said, "It turned out to be Gonggong Guo next to the concubine." After speaking, he looked at the Jinpa on the ground, "Oh, why did my father's Jinpa fall out, how can it be dirty?" ”
As soon as Guo Zheng heard that this handkerchief was the emperor's, he hurriedly stepped forward and picked it up, and after a closer look, it was from her, Guo Zheng put the Jinpa back in the box and handed it to Shen Lanxin.
Shen Lan looked at Guo Zheng quietly, and saw that his face was very ugly.
Guo Zheng said expressionlessly: "Since it is the emperor's thing, the princess must protect it." ”
Shen Lanxin smiled and said: "What my father-in-law said is that this brocade is my father's beloved thing, if it is broken, my father will really blame me." ”
When Guo Zheng heard this, a trace of jealousy flashed on his face. "The slave dared to ask, since it is the emperor's beloved thing, why is it here with the princess?"
Shen Lanxin said lightly: "A few days ago, my father and mother came to see me, and my mother saw that my leg was seriously injured, so she cried sadly, and my father took out this handkerchief from his arms for his mother to wipe her tears, but before leaving, he forgot it with me. ”
Treading the snow at this time, he said appropriately: "The slave maid saw that this handkerchief must have been given to the emperor by the queen's mother, and the queen's mother was really intimate." ”
Shen Lanxin's face couldn't hide his joy, and he said with a smile: "Yes, the queen mother really loves her father very much, otherwise she can't embroider these eight words, holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son, I think only these eight words can show the queen mother's love for the father." ”
"Okay, stepping on the snow, let's go quickly, and send it back to my father quickly." After speaking, Shen Lanxin and Taxue walked past Guo Zheng's side.
Guo Zheng stood in place, stunned for a long time, and then left for a long time.
He came to Qifang Palace absentmindedly, Qi Guifei was admiring flowers in the courtyard, and Guo Zheng saw that there was no one around, so he took a small red flower and put it on her sideburns.
said softly: "You are still the most beautiful, these flowers are not as good as you." ”
Concubine Qi glanced at him, smiled, and entered the dormitory.
Guo Zheng followed in knowingly, closed the door casually, hugged Qi Guifei from behind, leaned his head on her shoulder, and whispered, "Rou'er, will you come with me?" How about we leave the palace and go to a place where no one knows us to live the days of fairy couples? ”
Qi Guifei's originally smiling face instantly darkened, turned around, frowned, and said, "Now is not the time. ”
Her words made the anger in Guo Zhengqian's heart ignite suddenly, "It's not time, it's not time, when is it?" ”
Seeing his angry eyes, Qi Guifei broke his hand and said angrily: "Things are not as simple as you think, you can just go." ”
He suddenly grabbed Qi Guifei's shoulders, his eyes were full of mockery, "If you don't want to go with me, are you reluctant to come here, reluctant to the emperor?" ”
Qi Guifei was a little annoyed and said angrily, "What are you talking about? ”
The corners of Guo Zheng's mouth hooked up a sneer, "You know very well what I said, I have been by your side for so many years, what am I for!" I'm not here for you, and what are you doing to me? ”
He has held back these words for many years, and he really doesn't vomit or feel unhappy.
Qi Guifei remembered that she had really wronged him for so many years, and her words couldn't help but soothe a little, "I know that I am sorry for you for so many years and let you pretend to be a eunuch by my side." ”
Guo Zheng's eyes were full of enthusiasm, "Rou'er, I don't care about anything for you." Speaking of this, Guo Zheng couldn't help but think of Jiang Yuan's words, his eyes suddenly dimmed again, and he said tentatively: "Rou'er, did you covet a momentary freshness when you were with me at the beginning?" ”
When Qi Guifei heard this, her face changed, "Why do you ask that?" ”
He stared at her intently, "You just have to tell me yes or no." ”
In order to hide her weakness, Concubine Qi turned her body around, "It's nothing." ”
Guo Zheng turned to her again, held her shoulders again, and his voice was faintly joyful, "Since it's not, then you can go with me, we will go out of the palace and live an ordinary life." ”
"You calm down, if I go with you, the first person to kill you must be Hui'er, I know Hui'er has always disliked you, so, if it weren't for me, you would have died under the dark sword of those people."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but squeeze her shoulders, gritted his teeth and said, "Since you know that he wants to kill me, why don't you reveal my identity to him?" "Now that the man has taken over his woman and son, it's time to return it."
Qi Guifei pushed her away, "Are you crazy?" Do you want Hui'er to know that her biological father is actually just a joke? ”
Actors? How sarcastic her tone was, daring to love that she always knew that King Yue had always wanted to kill herself, but she didn't dare to reveal her true identity to King Yue, just because she was afraid that he would know that he had a father who had a play, but in turn he kept hurting him alone, she was protecting everyone except him.
Guo Zheng suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, his body couldn't help shaking, and he sneered and said: "If King Yue really wants to kill me, you don't have to stop it, watching you with other men all day long, I am also worse than dead." ”
His words made Qi Guifei's heart sour, and she wanted to try to comfort: "Don't you be like this?" ”
He looked at her intently, stepped forward, took her hand and put it on his chest, and said slowly: "You really can't feel it, do I really love you, even if I beg you?" I've been waiting for twenty years, and I just can't wait. ”
Qi Guifei was shocked in her heart, slowly closed her eyes, and said in a very cold tone: "Guo Sheng, don't force me." ”
Guo Sheng? She hadn't called him by this name for a long time, he let go of her hand, looked at her, sneered in his heart, he felt that he was really sad and ridiculous, his own woman became someone else's concubine, and his son in turn had to kill himself, these twenty years were not short, he did so many things for her, he did everything he could and couldn't do for him, but in the end he made wedding dresses for others, what has he insisted on for so many years! ”
