"Your Highness!"

The sky had just dawned, and it was still dark in the queen's bedroom in the Jiaofang Palace, and Ruoyun hurriedly entered through the curtain.

"Come in and say." Empress Gao Changjun got up from the couch and commanded at the same time.

Ruoyun has always been serious, not a person who doesn't know the severity. At this time, there must be something urgent. Gao Changjun got up calmly and let the palace people serve to change clothes and wash. Ruoyun saw that the queen was so calm and unhurried, and calmed down the complicated thoughts in his heart, and seeing that the palace people had withdrawn one after another, he picked up the lotus boxwood comb and combed the queen's hair, and whispered to Gao Changjun in the sea beast grape pattern bronze mirror, "The prince sent a message to His Royal Highness, and the Guanxi Daxing Taihe Bayue has died at the hands of Mo Chen Yue, the assassin of Qinzhou. If Your Majesty also gets the news, please ask the Empress to send a letter back to the house as soon as possible. ”

"Got it." Gao Changjun replied lightly, in order to hide the waves in her heart. There is no doubt that the death of He Batyue is another severe test for the relationship between the Yuan and Gao clans, which were already close to each other.

Both of them fell silent, and Ruoyun quietly combed Gao Changjun's hair. Set at the top, pulled into an oblique double mustache. After inserting a golden step shake, he looked at the extremely beautiful Gao Changjun in the mirror and whispered, "Your Majesty left Cuiyun Pavilion early in the morning, saying that he was going out of the city to hunt. ”

"Knowing this, I ordered the horses and bows to be prepared." Gao Changjun stood up. As soon as he turned around, he saw a potted rose on a corner of the hall, the pale pink flowers were in full bloom, and they were very delicate, so he walked closer to take a closer look. Ruoyun, who was following her, looked at Gao Changjun's back, and really felt that the queen and her father, the prime minister Gao Huan, were really getting more and more alike.

At the beginning of the dawn, an unusual day began in Luoyang City. The brazier in the room in the Prime Minister Gao Huan's Mansion has been removed. Gao Cheng has already subsided from the high fever, but he is sweating through his clothes.

"What does the son mean?" Hou Jing seemed really puzzled.

"Guanzhong can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and when the weather is good, he only treats people with favorable places, and it is so rich, doesn't Puyang Gong want to take it for himself?" Gao Cheng asked half-truthfully.

"I'm old, my ambitions have run out, and now I'm only in love with my homeland." Hou Jing threw the question back without hesitation, "But the son of the world is young and promising, and he is just making contributions." ”

Gao Huan listened quietly to Hou Jing and his son's questions and answers.

Gao Yang even seems to have nothing to do with himself.

Cui Jishu is not qualified to interject.

"What does the prime minister think?" Hou Jing saw that Gao Huan was so calm, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Guanzhong has been a self-contained trend for a long time." Gao Huan said slowly, "He Batyue was on the side of his authority, and there were still some people who were not convinced, and now that He Batyue is gone, I am afraid that some people can't hold it back." Gao Huan didn't seem to care about it and said, "Taking advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the situation, you need to be clear-sighted." ”

"What the Great Prime Minister said is extremely true," Hou Jing hurriedly said, "As soon as He Batyue dies, there will be chaos in the pass, and he should take advantage of the chaos." It's just that Hou Mo Chen Yue is not a successful person, so there is no need to worry. But he is the brother of Hebata. Whether it is other Hexi refugees or Cao Ni, there is no need to worry. ”

Gao Huan glanced at Gao Cheng and saw that he was thoughtful, so he asked, "Anu, what do you mean?" ”

Gao Cheng woke up in a daze, and suddenly said, "Yuwentai!" Have both my father and Puyang forgotten about this person? ”

Gao Huan and Hou Jingju were shocked. Yes, such an important person, why do they ignore it?

Outside Luoyang City, everywhere is new and green, and the weather is clear. The sun rose high, illuminating the entire city of Luoyang in a golden light. Emperor Yuan Xiu jumped out of the city under the escort of the Wuwei general Yuan Bi and the Nanyang Wang Yuan Bao Torch. Every time he goes out of the palace to hunt in the countryside of Luoyang, it is a rare opportunity for Yuan Xiu to relax. By riding his horse and bending his bow, he could vent the depression in his heart. Especially today, the mood is unusually good. It's been a long time since I've felt this comfortable.

Yuan Bi and Yuan Bao Torch followed Emperor Yuan Xiu's mount out of the city, and the three of them rode lightly, shook off the lengthy guard of honor, and imagined the future in the vibrant suburbs of Luoyang. Just wait for the servant Hu Sichun and the Chinese army general Wang Sizheng to come, so I can discuss it secretly.

When Yuan Xiu was galloping, he saw a snow-white jade rabbit at a glance, which was jumping very lightly among the velvet and green grass. I want to come out to forage for food, but I have the courage to look left and right. The ears were pricked up from time to time, and the ruby eyes were full of wariness.

Yuan Xiu suddenly felt extremely piercing, and Zhang Gong aimed at the rabbit.

Yuan Bao Torch and Yuan Bi stood behind him, quietly watching the scene in front of him. The two of them have their own thoughts, and if they see it, they don't see it, who would be so careful about the life and death of this little beast in front of them.

The ingot torch was contemplating and pondering, and suddenly felt that the wind had just passed through his ears, and his heart was shocked. This is clearly a sharp weapon, with the smell of killing. As soon as he breathed, he saw a sharp arrow with a cold and dim light fly past his ear, and in an instant it was nailed to the grass beside the white rabbit, just a millimeter.

At this time, Fang looked back and actually saw the queen Gao Changjun riding a horse past him. Did she really miss the rabbit? I'm afraid it's trying to get away with it, right? And what does it mean that she chased her out of the city at this time?

Emperor Yuan Xiu saw that someone was startled by his prey, and he didn't know who was so bold, and his heart was furious. When he looked back sideways on the horse, it was the queen Gao Changjun, which was too unexpected for him. His hand holding the reins clenched tightly, and his face was gloomy before he could express his anger.

Drifting clouds drifted across the sky, temporarily obscuring the sun.

At the door of the Cuiyun Pavilion in the Forbidden Garden, she heard the whispers of the palace maid, and hurriedly turned around and hurried inside.

Zuo Zhaoyi and Yuan Mingyue were wearing heavily colored fuchsia clothes and were sitting in the light and shadow to stir up fat powder. The bright sunlight illuminated her complexion very well, and coupled with the bright colored clothes, she looked even more delicate.

"Your Highness!" Before his breath was even, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty just left the palace, and the Jiaofang Hall also went out of the palace. ”

Yuan Mingyue looked back at Qian Qian and was stunned, and asked, "Where did she go?" The Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

"I heard that it was a trip on horseback, and all the servants were equipped with bows and arrows." Her voice trembled a little.

"Oh, that's right." Yuan Mingyue's thoughts were obviously not in the same rhythm as Qian Yuan's worries. "Didn't the King of Nanyang and General Wuwei also obey the Holy Driver?"

"Your Highness knows, if the queen said something to Your Majesty......" Qian Qian didn't say anything further.

But this half sentence moved Yuan Mingyue, and she immediately stood up and ordered, "Go and prepare the horse." ”

On a clear spring day, the suburbs of Luoyang are as beautiful as a picture. Yuan Xiu looked back sideways, watching Gao Changjun stepping on the velvet and green grass, with the towering Luoyang City behind him, and galloped straight in front of him. She was like someone else. did not wear the queen's complicated costumes, the faint goose yellow shirt and light blue skirt made him also in a trance. He asked himself in his heart, is she really the Empress of Great Wei? If she was a folk woman, and she came to him like this, he would not let her go no matter what.

The warm breeze swept across Gao Changjun's cheeks, and a few faint bangs like smoke on her forehead were blown diagonally. He saw that in addition to a swaying chic golden step, there was only a very large and delicate pale pink rose in her hair. The rose was not showy, but subtle.

Yuan Xiu's gaze only rested on Gao Changjun, watching her from far and near, watching her dismount and walk in front of him. Yuan Bao Ju and Yuan Bi glanced at each other, Yuan Bi's eyes were angry, but Yuan Bao Ju was as cold as a blade in his eyes. He would never have any kind respect for Gao Changjun, even if she was a queen of a country. It's because her younger brother, Gao Cheng, the waiter, will never be. What's more, it was because of her that his sister Zuo Zhaoyi Yuan Mingyue suffered a lot.

"Meet Your Majesty." Gao Changjun made a dignified salute.

"Why, the queen is also interested in going out of the city to hunt? Or did you come to see Lonely? Yuan Xiu's heart was surging, but on the surface, he was extremely indifferent, and his words were sharp and straight to the point.

"I'm here to see Your Majesty." Gao Changjun looked up at Yuan Xiu on the horse and said gently, "Originally, I went out of the city to Longmen's Qianxiang Temple, and I was visiting the holy driver here, so I came to visit the holy driver." Saying that, she glanced at the Yuan Bao Torch and Yuan Bi behind her slightly, and her voice was slightly colder and harder, "Are the King of Nanyang and General Wuwei specially here to follow the Holy Driver?" ”

Yuan Bao Ju and Yuan Bi hurriedly dismounted, saluted together, and praised, "The minister greets the queen." ”

"Let's be flat." Gao Changjun commanded gracefully, then turned around and smiled faintly at Yuan Xiu as if he had forgotten these two people, "I haven't hunted for a long time, and the bow and horses are rusty." I can't even shoot a rabbit, Your Majesty, don't laugh at me. ”

Seeing her shallow smile, Yuan Xiu's heart was shocked, he couldn't help but get off the horse, and asked quietly on his face, "The queen has been concentrating on Buddhist affairs for a long time, but she also cares about loneliness?" ”

"Your Majesty is surprised, it is the fault of the concubine, please forgive Your Majesty." Gao Changjun knelt down, "The concubine has been thinking about Your Majesty in her heart......" Hearing that she couldn't go on, Yuan Xiu couldn't help but take a few steps closer to her. Gao Changjun knelt on the ground, still bowing his head, "It's just that the weather has been cold and warm recently, and the concubine is deeply afraid that His Majesty will be bullied by the wind and cold......" She was very worried in her words, Yuan Xiu of course understood the feelings of affection, and she didn't expect that she, as the daughter of the Gao family, would care so deeply for him. Gao Changjun's voice also lowered, "Since Your Majesty refuses to come to the Jiaofang Palace in person, the concubine is very worried, so she has to come and ask to see Your Majesty......"

Yuan Xiu couldn't hold back any longer, and walked up to her, completely ignoring the hateful eyes of Yuan Bao Torch and Yuan Bi in the distance behind Gao Changjun. He reached out and shook Gao Changjun's hand and helped her up. Gao Changjun looked up at him.

"The weather is cloudy and uncertain, and I understand it in my lonely heart, and I miss the queen a lot." He looked down at her, his voice trembling slightly, "Recently, Lone is good at Taoism, and the famous man of Shouyang Mountain has taught Lone the art of calling the wind and calling the rain." If Lone can teach Luoyang to be sunny every day, is the queen willing to go out of the city with Lone every day to hunt? ”

Gao Changjun saw that he was so full of ambition, he couldn't bear to break it, and only looked at Yuan Xiudao, "The concubine doesn't believe in any celebrities and real people, I only wish Your Majesty to be long and healthy, and you will enjoy it forever." ”

"Forever? Hehe......" Yuan Xiu seemed to understand, asked rhetorically, and smiled self-deprecatingly. But seeing that Gao Changjun's eyes were red, he couldn't bear it. At this time, Gao Changjun just crossed over and saw Yuan Bi behind her looking at him eagerly, withdrew his eyes, looked at Gao Changjun and asked with a smile, "The queen is here to hear the news, right?" Your father, the prime minister, and your brother, are afraid that they couldn't sleep all night last night, right? ”

"Your Majesty is talking about the matter? The father and younger brother of the concubine, who are in their positions, must always be listed by Chen Li, and they should share their worries and labor for His Majesty in order to protect the society. Gao Changjun did not pretend to be confused, but persuaded him, "He Bayue is the pillar of the General Kingdom, now that the matter has come to this, Your Majesty must make a decision as soon as possible to save the situation." ”

"The Queen knows very well." Yuan Xiu was neither cloudy nor sunny, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Gao Changjun.
