After Gongliang Yuzhi and his party returned to the palace, Ye Xuemei took Rong Xiang to the east courtyard, and Gongliang Yuzhi also followed. The two of them did not speak to each other, but walked one after the other.

After entering the main hall, Rong Xiang left very interestingly, leaving the two of them to talk alone.

Gongliang Yuzhi was the first to break the silence, "The girl already knows that the Queen Mother wants to give me a marriage, right?" I don't know what the girl thinks. ”

Ye Xuemei's fingertips resting on her knees trembled slightly, and the next moment they were already tucked into her wide sleeves, and she said calmly: "The county lord has a noble status, and he has won the favor of the queen mother, and he is the most compatible with the prince." ”

Gongliang Yuzhi did not let go of her subtle movements, and spit out three words on his lips, "You lie!" ”

Ye Xuemei closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she said word by word: "The prince and the county lord are talented and beautiful, it is a match made in heaven. Congratulations! ”

After Ye Xuemei said this, Gongliang shook her head again and again, grabbed her arms, and said excitedly: "I don't believe it!" No matter how entangled Shi Fenglan is, you are the only one I want to marry. Xuemei, you have affection for me, don't you? ”

The last sentence completely broke the peace of Ye Xuemei's heart. Feeling...... Is she really affectionate to Gongliangyu? Is it like what he used to do to Murong Yu?

In the face of Ye Xuemei's silence, Gongliang was overjoyed and happily held her hand, "I'm right, right?" ”

Ye Xuemei let him hold it, and a faint sadness crossed her eyes, "Even if there is really love, so what?" You and I are very clear about the Empress Dowager's temperament, once you dare to resist the decree, she will never let you go. Overnight, you will be reduced from the prince of Yipin to a prisoner. ”

Gongliang said without hesitation: "As long as I can be with you, I am willing to do anything." We can walk together, live in seclusion in the mountains and forests together, and leave the land of right and wrong. I am willing to love Baishou with you and never leave! ”

"Never separate...... Ye Xuemei silently repeated these words in her heart, once when she was with Murong Yu, he also promised her this, but what happened later? Burdened with the hatred of the entire family, she can't just care about the personal affairs of her children.

Yes, she shook her head and said: "Don't be impulsive, the prince said that he would take me away and take me to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, so what should I do with my blood feud?" And Concubine Chen, what should she do? The whole world is not the king's land, can we really escape? Besides, I've already escaped once and don't want to run again! ”

Gongliang Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Then do I think of a way to make the Queen Mother take back her life, and you will be with me?" ”

When Ye Xuemei heard this, she sighed silently, "The prince should know that His Majesty has promised the envoy of the Xia Kingdom, and I will not marry twice for the rest of my life." So...... I'm sorry! ”

She slowly but firmly brushed away her hands and whispered: "No matter four years ago or now, you and I are destined to be inseparable after all!" ”

Although Gongliang didn't fully hear her words, her words made him feel that he was standing in the ice and snow.

He slowly clenched his hands and said astringently, "Are you really ruthless to me?" So, you've been using me to avenge you? ”

Ye Xuemei bit her lip slightly and said bitterly: "Yes!" I've been using you all along, if you're not King Ning of the Song Kingdom, how can I come to the Song Kingdom with you? All I want is to use your power to avenge me! ”

Listening to her heartless words, Gongliang took a few steps back, and his heart ached to the extreme. After being silent for a long time, he took a deep breath, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll get your wish!" Since then, there has been only a deal between us! ”

Without waiting for Ye Xuemei to say anything more, he had already opened the door and walked out. Looking at his figure submerged in the cold wind, Ye Xuemei's chest was dull and abnormal.

Lord, after all, I owe you. In the next life, I will repay you......

At this time, the Gao Mansion was in chaos. Not long ago, Gao Xueliu came back crying, with red bruises on her wrists and chin, which was obviously injured by someone, but no matter who asked, no matter how she asked, she refused to say a word, just locked herself in the room and cried, which was very worrying.

Mr. and Mrs. Gao were worried, and asked the two maids who went out with Gao Xueliu, only to know the whole story, and they sighed when they heard it.

Mrs. Gao felt sorry for her daughter and scolded: "This Shi Fenglan, even if she is domineering on weekdays, this time she actually humiliated Xue Liu on the street, it is too much." Master Hou, you have to make decisions for Xueliu. ”

Gao Hou Ye sighed: "I want to be in charge, but tell me, what can I do?" The Gao family has long been different. If Xue Liu is a man, she can still make contributions and revive her family's reputation, but she is a woman. After a hundred years, even the marquis handed down from this ancestor will not be able to keep it. ”

Although he is the same as Wan Jin, he is a marquis, but Marquis Gao is just an idle man in the court, and he has no real power, and he can't talk about Wan Jin at all, otherwise why would Gao Xueliu follow Shi Fenglan all day long to please her.

Mrs. Gao sighed again and again when she thought of her own affairs, "Then according to the meaning of the Hou Ye, this matter will be stopped?" ”

"If you don't give up, you have to give up, behind the Lord of Evergreen is the Pingyang Mansion and the Queen Mother, no matter which one we can't afford to offend." Saying that, Gao Hou Ye said again: "You go to make a few side dishes that Xueliu likes to eat, send them to her personally, and comfort her well, and it should be fine." ”

"That's all it can be." Mrs. Gao was about to go to the kitchen, and the servants hurried in, "Mrs. Qiyu Marquis, Princess Pingyang and Lord Changrong are here." ”

"What are they doing here?" Mrs. Gao was a little surprised.

"The villain didn't know that he had already gotten out of the carriage at this time."

After signaling her subordinates to stand back, Mrs. Gao frowned and said, "Could it be that Princess Pingyang knew that the county lord of Changrong had done something wrong, and specially brought her to apologize?" ”

Gao Hou Ye shook his head and said: "Princess Pingyang is the most protective, don't say it's just a little thing, no matter how big it is, with her temperament, it will never be possible to come to the door to apologize." ”

"Neither apologizes, what is she going to do? It's not like the teacher is asking for guilt, right? ”

Gao Hou Ye couldn't guess their intentions, so he could only advise: "Anyway, be careful to speak later, don't be caught by them." ”

Although Mrs. Gao was a little unhappy, she also agreed, and the two came to the door and saluted Princess Pingyang, "I have seen the princess, the princess is safe." ”

Princess Pingyang raised her hand and said with a smile: "The two of you are polite, no courtesy." As she spoke, she glanced at Shi Fenglan on the side, "Why don't you salute?" Seeing her speak, Shi Fenglan had to reluctantly bend her knees, which was considered a salute.

After welcoming them to the main hall and sitting down, the servants came up with tea, and Princess Pingyang took a sip, raised her eyebrows and said: "It's the best Jin Junmei, and it won't lose to the imperial tea in the palace." I didn't expect that there was such good tea in the mansion of the Marquis Gao. ”
