Chapter 61: Drinking Poisoned Wine

When the carriage stopped, there was silence outside. Yuan Zhonghua vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the two of them looked at each other silently and understood each other's thoughts. It seems that Ah Jiao also feels the same way as her.

Ah Jiao just wanted to get out of the car to take a look, but suddenly heard Liu Taozhi shouting "princess" outside, and then there was a scolding. Liu Taozhi's voice faded away, and he slowly couldn't hear it.

Gao Yang, the Duke of Taiyuan, knew a day earlier that the emperor and empress were going to be fortunate to his palace. This was something that had never happened before, but he was not alarmed, but happily ordered someone to arrange the mansion in an extraordinarily exaggerated manner.

Early in the morning, Gao Yang was waiting at the gate of the house.

Seeing a carriage from a distance, gorgeously decorated, and a guard of honor in the palace, but it didn't look like a holy car, Gao Yang sank down and took a closer look. When the carriage got closer, he actually saw that it was Lin Xingren, the regular attendant of the middle school, who was driving in person, which made him curious.

At this time, Li Zu'e, the Duchess of Taiyuan, was also waiting at the gate of the house to pick up the car.

Lin Xingren jumped out of the car and saw that the Duchess of Taiyuan was extraordinarily gorgeously decorated and looked dignified and noble; And although Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang is also Liang Guanzhuyi's official uniform, this crown has no courage at all on him, but it seems that he is wearing the wrong person's, and he feels that his clothes are not neat, which is really awkward.

Seeing Gao Yang's ignorant appearance, Lin Xingren was full of smiles. He thought no one could see the sarcasm in his smile.

Before Lin Xingren could speak, Gao Yang and Li Zu'e saw Gao Cheng's cangtou slave Liu Taozhi dismount from a distance and follow.

Liu Taozhi followed all the way, and he had already seen that the route Lin Xingren was driving was not the route to the palace. At first, I didn't know what was going on, but I was shocked when I got close to the Taiyuan Mansion. But he is just a cane-headed slave, and he can't stop Lin Xingren.

Liu Taozhi shouted "princess".

When Lin Xingren saw that he dared to be so presumptuous, his face immediately changed, and Liu Taozhi was dragged away. How could Liu Taozhi allow him to do this, and asked Lin Xingren why he brought the princess to the Taiyuan Mansion?

Lin Xingren can also be regarded as patient. Afraid that this slave would make a noise and ruin a big thing, he told him that the lord and the queen were lucky to visit the Taiyuan Mansion today, and they would see the princess in the Taiyuan Mansion.

Gao Yang heard Liu Taozhi shouting like this, and knew that the person in the car was Yuan Zhonghua.

I didn't say before that Princess Gao would come today, and even Li Zu'e felt a little surprised. But seeing that her husband was silent, as if he had nothing to do with it, she didn't know what he meant, and she didn't know what she said at this time.

Lin Xingren's reason was to block Liu Taozhi's questioning. Liu Taozhi saw Lin Xingren pointing into the distance, and sure enough, it was the holy car that came in a hurry. It turned out that it was really the emperor and queen coming, and Liu Taozhi had nothing to say now.

Lin Xingren changed his smile back to a smile and asked Gao Yang to prepare to take over. He went to ask Princess Gao to get out of the car.

Yuan Zhonghua had already heard the sound outside. When the curtain of the car was lifted, I saw that it was the Taiyuan Mansion, and Gao Yang and Li Zu'e were also waiting outside. Lin Xingren also re-explained, saying that the emperor was fortunate to visit the Taiyuan Mansion today, so he asked the princess to meet the lord here.

At this time, the imperial chariot had already arrived at the gate of the mansion, and the honor guards were lined up. Yuan Zhonghua had to get out of the car to pick up the car. Fortunately, the emperor is his brother, as long as he follows his brother, His Majesty will resign and go back to King Gao's mansion after seeing that the emperor has something to order.

Everything was in order, Lin Xingren put everyone else aside and went to pick up the master.

Yuan Zen is really radiant. Seeing Gao Yang already prostrate on the ground from a distance, he had to smile even more like Lin Xingren.

But Yuan Zhonghua was left aside and ignored by no one, which is also strange.

It's just that I didn't see Queen Gao Yuanjun coming together, only Gao Yang seemed to be unaware. Not only Yuan Zhonghua, but Li Zu'e also felt very strange.

The emperor walked into the mansion in a big way, and today he has a particularly imperial bearing. Lin Xingren naturally tended to be the last.

The eunuchs in the palace were ordered by the regular attendants to surround Princess Gao and go in together. It's just that Liu Taozhi is not allowed to enter the house from the outside. Ah Jiao felt involuntary at this time. Fortunately, she was quick to scheming, and took advantage of the gap to let an inconspicuous slave secretly tell Liu Taozhi how to act.

Gao Cheng is not in Yecheng, if Yuan Zhonghua really encounters something at this time, I'm afraid only one person can really save her. This person is the princess Lou.

Ah Jiao's heart is very worried, she always feels that something is going to happen today.

Li Zu'e also saw Yuan Zhonghua being embraced into the mansion, and she also felt abnormal. Fortunately, this is the Taiyuan Mansion, and even if there is something, she can shelter somewhat.

Thinking like this, he walked to the house, but he was secretly pulled by Gao Yang. Just wondering, Gao Yang secretly whispered to her, "Hurry up and invite Yang Changshi to come, come quickly." ”

Gao Yang's appearance is similar to when he faced Emperor Yuan Shanjian just now. Just now it was a careless fool, and at this time it was the gloomy and indifferent husband she usually saw in private.

The inside of the Taiyuan Mansion is very deep and wide, as if there is no end. In addition, the sky is dark and gloomy, which makes people feel that this mansion is gloomy. The emperor designated to drive the back garden, and Gao Yang led the emperor to the depths of the mansion with great flattery.

Gao Yang is so obedient, which is particularly pleasing to Yuan Shan.

It wasn't until he entered the back garden that Gao Yang deliberately took the holy car to a secret and deep Xuan Pavilion. He proudly and proudly said that this was the place where he kept his books.

This is tantamount to a fool's dream, listening to a fool say that he also reads, Yuan Shanjian almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yuan Zhonghua calmed down at this time. No matter what important things her brother has to tell her today, anyway, her own mind is clear to herself, and she can't care about anything else.

Gao Yang looked at the wine and delicacies in the food box brought by Lin Xingren, the regular attendant, with a foolish smile on his face, and then the eunuchs all withdrew.

Yuan Zhonghua's people were only Ah Jiao who followed.

Yuan Shanjian smiled and sat down in the rope bed that Lin Xingren had ordered someone to move and set up. He sat down and looked around, and sure enough, as Gao Yang said, it was really full of books.

"Taiyuan Gong also used to study...... Hehe......" Yuan Shanjian said with a smile.

Gao Yang immediately came over and knelt down and replied, "Chen Yang is His Majesty's loyal minister, how can he help His Majesty govern the world if he doesn't study?" ”

Yuan Shanjian couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said interestingly.

Only Yuan Zhonghua couldn't laugh at all, glanced at Gao Yang, who was kneeling in front of Yuan Shan's meeting, and then looked at his brother and asked, "Your Majesty ordered the regular servants to visit me here, what is the important thing to say?" ”

She was now able to confirm that it must not be a good thing. Otherwise, why use scamming?

Lin Xingren couldn't help but smile first, "Princess Gao is really rude, I don't understand Your Majesty's kindness." It's no wonder that King Gao is often rude to His Majesty, and now even Princess Gao regards rudeness as a common thing. Princess Gao, don't forget that she is the Lord's own sister. ”

Yuan Zhonghua ignored Lin Xingren, she had already made up her mind, and simply said bluntly to Yuan Shanjian, "Your Majesty has spent so much effort to bring me to the Taiyuan Mansion to let this slave speak." I am both the wife of King Gao and the sister of His Majesty, and His Majesty still remembers his love with my mother, so he can't help but have something to say. If it's all right, I'll leave and go home. ”

Ah Jiao peeked nervously.

Gao Yang was still smiling stupidly, looking at Yuan Shanjian and then at Yuan Zhonghua.

Yuan Shanjian was not in a hurry, and turned a blind eye to Yuan Zhonghua's disrespect. He waved his hand to Lin Xingren and motioned for him to go down. He pointed to the table full of wine and food and said with a smile, "Lone today is full of sincerity to invite the princess to meet, regardless of the monarch and minister, only brother and sister." Don't talk about brothers and sisters, if the younger sister counts herself as the wife of the Gao family, Gu is also the son-in-law of the Gao family, and she is still a family. Since it's a family, why not sit down and have a drink? Do you have to mind? ”

Yuan Shanjian had stood up as he spoke, his tone just now was very emotional, and at this time, he looked at Yuan Zhonghua and looked at the prey in his hand like a beast, knowing that she couldn't escape, so he was full of patience.

"My sister married Gao Zihui when she was young. But Lone is his sister's eldest brother after all, and he sees everything in his eyes. King Gao can't treat his sister wholeheartedly, and he has wanted to abolish it several times. He suddenly glanced at Gao Yang, and then slowly walked towards Yuan Zhonghua, "It's not as sincere as Taiyuan Gongshang Ru." ”

Yuan Zhonghua suddenly heard him pull the topic to Gao Yang, and was so shocked that he took a few steps back, not knowing what he was going to do.

Ah Jiao came up to support Yuan Zhonghua. But she didn't dare to openly refute the emperor, and Yuan Shanjian didn't understand what to say.

Gao Yang smiled and looked at Yuan Zhonghua. There was no trace of his pretended foolish smile.

Yuan Shanjian didn't take Gao Yang in his eyes at all, and approached Yuan Zhonghua at this time and said with a smile, "Since the two are not satisfactory, why does the eldest princess have to go her own way?" Gu today will give Yu Taiyuan Gong as his wife, and the Li family can live in the concubine room to serve the princess, presumably Taiyuan Gong is also willing. As he spoke, he glanced at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty's ministers dare not resign." ”

Yuan Zhonghua was shocked and angry, "What is Your Majesty talking nonsense?" Even if His Majesty is the emperor of Great Wei, he can't be so involved in other people's family affairs. Could it be that His Majesty is delirious? ”

She saw that the doors and windows of this house were closed, and Lin Xingren was guarding the door, presumably all his people outside. Liu Taozhi did not follow up. Even if it is followed up, what is the use of a Liu Taozhi?

At this time, Yuan Zhonghua felt extremely sad in his heart. After the last Jiaofang Hall turmoil, Gao Cheng was furious and said that he would give her to Gao Yang. Is that really what he meant? Her own brother, the emperor who said such a thing, even if she wanted to excuse herself, how could she excuse herself?

Looking down at Gao Yang, who was kneeling in front of Yuan Shan's meeting, he looked like he was waiting for grace.

Ah Jiao is a slave, and she is powerless to stop it at this time. If he really angered the master and was kicked out, then Yuan Zhonghua was really the only one left in the house.

Ah Jiao was anxious that Liu Taozhi would come back soon. This is probably the only hope.

Yuan Zhonghua sneered, "I can't stop what Your Majesty wants to say and what you want to do." If he is really persecuted, he can only display his body in front of His Majesty. I forgive you for obeying Your Majesty's orders. ”

Yuan Shanjian was not afraid at all, and also sneered, "Eldest princess, is this a threat to Lonely?" He pointed to the table again and commanded, "Zhongchang Waiter, since the eldest princess is willing to die, Lone has to fulfill her." ”

Lin Xingren impatiently stepped forward to pour wine, held the ear cup in front of Yuan Zhonghua with both hands and said with a smile, "If the eldest princess really dies, it is actually a good thing to count in one fell swoop." Presumably, as soon as the princess died, King Gao could really remember the princess and never forget it for the rest of his life. He held the cup high, his eyes were already red in a blink of an eye, he changed his sad expression, and choked up, "The eldest princess also knows that the lord is in a difficult situation, if His Royal Highness dies because he does not obey the Duke of Taiyuan, King Gao will not be able to let go of the Duke of Taiyuan, this has nothing to do with the Lord." The Lord is really impatient. ”

Thinking that Lin Xingren was too anxious, he fainted with excitement.

Ah Jiao was terrified when she heard this. She suddenly reached out to take the ear cup in Lin Xingren's hand, "The slave maid came to drink this wine for the princess." ”

When Yuan Zhonghua heard her say this, he hurriedly grabbed Ah Jiao. She had long been disheartened. The brother is not like the brother, the husband is not like the husband, she is coerced and can't help herself. After drinking this wine, I have no worries at all. The only concern is Bodhi, and Asu.

Yuan Zhonghua has already snatched the ear cup.

However, no one expected that Gao Yang, who was originally kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up, snatched the ear cup from Yuan Zhonghua's hand, and immediately raised his glass and drank it without hesitation.

The wine in the ear cup spilled a lot. Yuan Zhonghua's fingers were drenched, and there was some burning pain. But she couldn't take care of it. looked at Gao Yang in surprise. Even the aunt who was holding her looked at Gao Yang in surprise.

And the most surprising thing was Yuan Shanjian, only he and Lin Xingren knew that it was really poisonous wine. Originally, this wine was prepared for Yuan Zhonghua. Just wait for Yuan Zhonghua to die of poison after drinking it, and news will immediately come out outside: it is said that Gao Yang, the Duke of Taiyuan, robbed his eldest sister-in-law into the mansion and poisoned Princess Gao with strong achievements. Not only Gao Yang, but also the entire Gao clan will be humiliated and lose people's hearts because of this. Waiting for Gao Cheng to come back, let alone a disaster of huge internal friction.

But...... But...... This wine was actually rushed to drink by Gao Yang. Yuan Zhonghua is not dead. In this way, when Gao Cheng came back, the matter became: the emperor forcibly gave Princess Gao to the Duke of Taiyuan. If things are not harmonious, Princess Gao will be killed, but the Duke of Taiyuan will die instead.

Yuan Zhonghua's mouth must be unstoppable. Gao Yang has become a disaster whether he dies or not.

Yuan Shanjian's face sank suddenly, "Taiyuan Gong, do you know that this is poisonous wine?" ”

Gao Yang shook off the ear cup in his hand and said, "Since Your Majesty has already explained it, the minister naturally knows." ”

Yuan Shanjian bowed his head slightly and said hatefully, "You beg for death." ”

It was Lin Xingren who saw the opportunity quickly, and pulled Yuan Shanjian and said, "Lord, go quickly." ”

Now, we can't really wait for Gao Yang's poison, we must hurry back to the palace, and then summon the clan into the palace to discuss countermeasures. The matter has come to this point, and it has to be sent, and there is no room for delay.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Chang Shi Yang rode alone.

Li Zu'e, the Duchess of Taiyuan, also rode a horse, but when she came back, she was not faster than Yang.

Even Yang's retinue was left behind.

Yang Gang got off the horse and saw the emperor's guard of honor and car at the gate of the mansion, so he immediately carried the hem of his robe and rushed inside.

At this time, Yuan Shanjian and Lin Xingren hurriedly came out of it, followed by several eunuchs.

Seeing Yuan Shan's expression, Yang felt that something was wrong. But he was still able to calm down and salute each other.

Yuan Shan didn't even look at Yang before stepping over.

Yang saw that Yuan Shanjian and the others were leaving in a hurry, and he quickly got up and went to the depths of the mansion to find it.

asked the servant and the slave to know that Gao Yang was in the back garden, so he found a slave to lead the way to the back garden.

Before he came, just in case, he had ordered someone to call the Taibao Sun Teng, the metropolitan governor Gao Yue, and the hussar general Gao Guiyan to wait in Shuangtang.

In the study, as soon as Emperor Yuan Shanjian and Lin Xingren, the regular attendant, left, Gao Yang immediately ordered someone to prepare the car.

Seeing that his expression was fine, and he couldn't see anything abnormal, Yuan Zhonghua couldn't help but ask after all, "Is Taiyuan really okay?" ”

No one expected this to be the result. Of course, she didn't want Gao Yang to really die at this time.

Gao Yang had something in his heart at this time, his chest was already heaving, and he asked rhetorically, "Does the princess want me to be sick?" He saw that Yuan Zhonghua's face was already pale, his hair was slightly chaotic and his breath was slightly panting before he calmed down, so he said, "If Your Highness doesn't want to have anything, go back to the house quickly." ”

Yuan Zhonghua was really puzzled.

resolutely turned around, but when Ah Yan turned around, he saw Gao Yang staring at Yuan Zhonghua's back. Yui felt that his face was ugly.

"Your Highness!" Yuan Zhonghua walked to the door and heard Gao Yang shouting. She turned.

Gao Yang just stared at her and didn't come over. After a long time, he said, "Forgive Hou Niyu and can't send it far." He also instructed, "Your Highness just has to wait in the palace." ”

Yuan Zhonghua saw that he had no more words, so Fang turned around and left.

Gao Yang had been standing there motionless and watching her.

When Yang entered the back garden, he saw Princess Gao and the eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua being helped out by the slaves. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The two of them came and went in a hurry, there was nothing to say in the two phases, Yang Mo gave a salute, and the princess only glanced at it, and then went separately.

Yang Yue felt bad, pushed the door and broke into the museum, and saw Gao Yang spurting out a mouthful of blood, and his body staggered forward. He stepped forward to support Gao Yang, and shouted "Lord", no longer caring about the blood stains on himself.

"Long history...... "Gao Yang still held on after all." Poisonous ...... in wine"

"Why does the lord drink poisonous wine?" Yang said painfully.

Gao Yang said with a smile, "Destiny has returned, what can be done with poisonous wine?" He smiled a little forcefully, and must have felt that the poisoned alcohol attack was not very pleasant. But the conceit in my heart is unconsciously revealed.

Gao Yang intermittently recounted what had just happened.

At this time, he didn't explain, and Yang also understood.

Gao Yang drank the poisonous wine and had a reason to abolish the Son of Heaven, and he would definitely get Gao Cheng's understanding. (To be continued.) )
