Chapter Seventy-Two: Angry at the Mother
Mrs. Lou had been unable to come out when she knew about the death of King Xianwu before, but her son had not been mourned. It was precisely because she didn't do anything that she helped Gao Cheng hide it. It is precisely because of this that Gao Cheng was able to succeed to the throne smoothly.
During this period, when the queen gave birth to the crown prince, the queen's biological mother, Mrs. Lou, did not enter the palace once. It's just sending someone to deliver a letter. In Zheng Dache's view, Mrs. Lou had long seen that Wei Palace was a place of right and wrong, and she could avoid it.
And she also saw that Mrs. Lou was really different from her children. Only the eldest son, Gao Cheng, is regarded as a heart. If there is really a mother who is so biased that people can't believe it, I'm afraid it is Mrs. Lou.
If you want to talk about a daughter, she used to be a loving mother to the eldest mother Gao Changjun, but when she came to the second lady Gao Yuanjun, it was too much worse.
Mrs. Lou's heart was cold, and Zheng Dache could see it clearly. When Gao Cheng went to Yuzhou, the princess Yuan Zhonghua was in distress in the Taiyuan Mansion. The cangtou slave Liu Taozhi came to ask for help, but Mrs. Lou said that she was sick.
Of course, Liu Taozhi didn't dare to break in to check the authenticity, and Mrs. Lou wouldn't tell her son Gao Cheng to tell the truth. And thinking about it in hindsight, Zheng Dache was almost covered in cold sweat. I'm afraid that Mrs. Lou originally thought that Princess Yuan Zhonghua would die that day.
Mrs. Lou is ruthless, only for the purpose of her son Gao Cheng, and anyone else can ignore it, even if it is her other biological children. Not to mention someone else. Such a clear mind without a little emotion mixed with it is the most terrifying thing that makes people feel the most.
In the courtyard there is a thick Gongsun tree. Since autumn, the **** leaves have fallen. Zheng Dache deliberately did not let people sweep the leaves, and felt that the gold paved on the ground was also a rare interest in this cold cave temple.
The sun was shining very well today, and she was very nostalgic for the warmth of the courtyard. I don't want to go back to the cold room. She is also a person who is used to living a life of brocade clothes and jade food, and the cave temple is simple after all, which is the only regret now. I don't know why I thought of this today.
Zheng Dache glanced up at his wife's closed door. King Gao Cheng of Qi has been in for a long time, and it is difficult to guess what the mother and son are talking about. She had just heard the almost inaudible neighing of horses outside the mountain gate. It wasn't clear, but it made her feel uneasy. She wanted to get someone out and have a look.
When he looked up at the door that had been closed for a long time, the door opened, and Gao Cheng walked out of it. I couldn't see any emotions in him, Zheng Dache felt that Gao Cheng was becoming more and more like his father, Gao Huan, the king of martial arts.
Gao Cheng saw his cangtou slave Liu Taozhi coming over from a distance. He walked up to Zheng Dache, and Zheng Da Station watched him under the Gongsun tree.
"It's really wronged to let the lady live in such a place." Gao Cheng smiled slightly, his skin was as white as if it were transparent in the sun.
"Is the king going back to Yecheng today?" Zheng Dache asked with concern.
"This place is clean, and it is also a good thing to stay with my mother for a few days, and I won't go back today." Gao Cheng stepped on the fallen leaves, rustling under his feet.
Zheng Dache followed him.
"The king is not worried?" Zheng Dache asked again.
Gao Cheng heard that it seemed to be a little noisy outside the mountain gate, but he ignored it, knowing that Liu Taozhi would ask.
He turned to look at Zheng Dache, "The lady's younger brother sent a letter to the Changshe because the lady is worried about Zihui, right?" ”
Zheng Dache and him seem to know everything. There really was no one who dared to ask him anything like her.
"The concubine is worried that the king will be deceived." Zheng Dache thought very realistically in his heart, whether it was her brother or her son, they all needed someone to support them, and this person could only be Gao Cheng. She thought about it, and finally said, "The second prince has come several times, and the princess either said that she was sick and did not see her, or sent him away after only seeing one face. The second son has a deep grudge, which makes people scared, and the concubine has to avoid him. Now that he has seized the authority of the king's auxiliary, is the king so willing to give it to him? Zheng Dache was very unwilling.
Gao Cheng smiled faintly and said, "What if you don't let it be given to him, he is my brother after all." ”
"Don't you know? Relinquishing authority is tantamount to the defeat of one of the defeated armies, and what will the king be able to keep at that time? Doesn't the king want to think about himself and the prince, the county lord and the eldest princess? Zheng Dache said eagerly.
Gao Cheng didn't expect her to have such insight, and said with a smile, "Father really buried his mother." ”
Zheng Dache said gloomily, "The first king is a very cold-hearted person, not as affectionate as the king. The sons, brothers, and concubines of concubines rely only on the king and his wife for life. ”
Gao Cheng was also gloomy. Zheng Dache is right. Not only her, her son, her brother, but also many others will be both prosperous and lost because of him.
Suddenly, I wanted to go back to Yecheng immediately.
The noise grew louder and louder, almost all of which turned into a loud noise. The conversation between the two men was interrupted.
"Lord Lang! The King of the Bohai Sea has broken in! Liu Taozhi rushed to the report.
Zheng Dache subconsciously dodged behind Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng had already seen Gao Yang enter the mountain gate, and the servants behind him walked towards him like clouds. He didn't expect him to come here so openly and protectively, I don't know why? Shouldn't he be busy preparing for meditation in Yecheng?
Gao Yang had already walked in front of him, his gaze hooking Zheng Dache behind Gao Cheng like a sharp hook.
"Mrs. Zheng, the eldest brother is here and laughs diligently, but I avoid it when I come, what is the reason?" Gao Yang's voice was slightly sharp, like a sharp blade that could cut through the air, which made people feel chilling to hear.
"Hou Niyu, if you come to visit your mother, you don't need to be so proud." Gao Chenghu spoke first in front of Zheng Dache. "Mrs. Zheng is an aunt, it makes sense for her to want to see you, how can you force her?" As soon as Gao Cheng spoke, the guards and entourage who followed Gao Yang all bowed their heads and retreated.
Liu Taozhi also settled down.
Zheng Dache almost burst into tears.
"Big brother has finally changed back to his original self." Gao Yang said with a smile, "My brother didn't treat me as a younger brother since I was a child, he only treated me as a house slave." Does my brother still think that the Zheng family is the concubine of his father, and I am a domestic slave, so naturally I can't touch it. The elder brother always felt that he was still the lord of the overlord's mansion, and all the family assets belonged to him, even the Zheng family was no exception. The elder brother has already accepted Princess Rouran, and now even this Zheng family, who used to live by, has to take it back to the house, I wonder if the eldest princess will stop if she knows? ”
Speaking of the past, Zheng Dache was so embarrassed. She has long lost this mind, and she will have to rely on Gao Cheng more in the future, how can she let people have this kind of thought again? had to argue, "The second prince should not frame the ...... of King Qi"
She exonerated Gao Cheng, and naturally justified herself.
"The eldest princess and I are husband and wife, and there is no need for the second brother to worry about the affairs between the husband and wife." Gao Cheng grabbed Gao Yang's wrist, and he could see that he wanted to catch Zheng. He's already angry.
"If the eldest brother is really worried about the eldest princess, hurry back to Yecheng. I'm not the only one who thinks about the eldest princess. Empress Taishang invited the eldest princess to the palace to discuss the marriage of her children, and I am afraid that the eldest princess will not agree. Gao Yang smiled as if he was proud.
Gao Cheng shook him off fiercely and said angrily, "Second brother has more things in mind now, what are you doing here when you don't come here in Yecheng?" ”
At this time, Gao Yang saw the door of the house in the distance behind Gao Cheng open, and his mother, Concubine Lou, walked out. He was thrown to the ground by Gao Cheng just now, and then he got up and walked towards his mother, saying, "Naturally, I came to see my mother." ”
The princess Lou didn't speak, standing under the eaves, waiting for her son to come up and salute.
Of course, Gao Cheng couldn't stop Gao Yang from seeing his mother.
Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned back.
Gao Yang didn't stop when he got closer, he strode up the stone steps and went straight up, which surprised Lou Shi.
Gao Yang didn't salute according to the rules, he quickly picked up his mother and hugged him horizontally, then turned around and walked down the stone steps, while instructing, "Take King Qi back to Yecheng together!" ”
Lou Shi reflected at this time, struggled hard, and said, "Rebel, what do you want?" ”
Gao Yang was very happy to grab Lou's hand. Throwing it up like a madman, he caught it and laughed, "The old man of my father must be willing to listen to my mother's words." My mother will definitely help me this time. ”
Lou Shi was thrown up and caught by him like an object, and she couldn't believe that her son could do such a thing, and she was so dizzy that she couldn't move. I'm even more afraid that Gao Yang will throw her out again.
Gao Yang's guards and entourage were half hesitant and half afraid, and they didn't dare to really come up and pull Gao Cheng directly.
Liu Taozhi shouted angrily, "Who dares to touch King Qi?!" ”
Zheng Dache was so frightened that his face turned pale and he felt that he should go to rescue the princess, but he didn't dare to step forward.
Gao Cheng chased after him and said angrily, "Hou Niyu stop!" ”
Lou refused to show her support for Gao Yang in front of her subordinates. She supports the Gao family to go further, but if the Gao family is in the right position, this person must be Gao Cheng, and must not be Gao Yang.
She also said angrily, "Brother Er is in front, how can you take the throne?!" ”
Gao Yang was stunned when he heard Lou's words. He suddenly panted like a cow, his green tendons burst out, and he suddenly threw out the Lou Shi who was holding him.
This time, however, instead of throwing it high and reaching out to catch it, he tried his best to throw it far away, apparently not wanting to catch it again.
Lou Shi was thrown out before he could understand it, and then fell heavily to the ground and did not move.
Gao Cheng ran towards Lou Shi in shock and shouted, "Mother! ”
Gao Yang seemed to be shocked by his suddenly uncontrollable emotions. He turned suddenly, as if looking for something, and suddenly turned around again, and he grabbed himself by the collar and grabbed him so hard that he was almost strangling his neck.
Even the guards and entourage were at a loss for this abnormal behavior, and they all looked at Gao Yang.
Gao Cheng gently lifted his mother Lou up a little. called "Auntie......
Lou's eyes were open, but he couldn't speak.
Gao Cheng picked up his mother horizontally and walked towards the house, while instructing Liu Taozhi, "Go and pass on the imperial doctor's order." ”
Gao Yang, who hadn't reflected for a long time, suddenly shouted, "Go quickly!" Just go! Most of his attendants and guards ran out when they received this command.
Gao Cheng didn't care about scolding Gao Yang angrily first, and hugged his mother in first.
Zheng Dache looked at the closed door at a loss, thought about it, and followed.
Unexpectedly, she was walking forward, and someone behind her suddenly grabbed the back of her neck and her collar and was pulled backwards with force majeure.
Suddenly, seeing Gao Yang's face poking his face over with a hideous face, Zheng Dache was almost frightened.
"Auntie......" Gao Yang gasped, "Auntie? He laughed twice, like an owl.
Zheng Dache was almost completely invisible. She deeply regretted that she hadn't followed Gao Cheng in just now. Now she couldn't make a sound when she wanted to speak. Try your best to glance at the rest of your eyes, the courtyard is full of Gao Yang's people. is already looking down one by one, obviously seeing too much of Lord Lang's behavior, and he doesn't dare to say a word.
She tried her best to make a sound with a rattle in her throat.
Gao Yang became excited at this time, as if he had a good idea, looked at Zheng Dache carefully, very interested, and then his hand had already choked her neck
"The eldest brother said that the lady is a concubine...... I just fell my mother, and I haven't fallen my mother, so it can be seen that my mother and my mother's mother are ......different," Gao Yang muttered to himself.
Zheng Dache was pinched so that his eyes almost protruded, and his face turned purple. She pulled Gao Yang's hand with both hands as hard as she could, trying to tear the shackles off her throat. Push your legs hard to relieve the suffocation. Although the sound in her ears was blurred, she could still hear Gao Yang's words clearly, and she was already terrified to the extreme, desperately trying to escape.
Gao Yang finally let go of Zheng Dache. Zheng Dache gasped for air, and his body was so weak that he collapsed downward. However, before she could collapse, Gao Yang lifted her with both hands and threw her body out like a sandbag with enough strength.
Zheng Dache, who had already lost half his life, flew out and slammed into the Gongsun tree, and then fell heavily to the ground. Immediately bleeding from his mouth and nose, he died of exhaustion.
On the golden leaves scattered all over the ground lay Zheng Dache's corpse, his eyes wide open. There was a pool of blood on the ground. The last two words she spat out were "King ......"
Gao Yang turned around and walked away, and even the people who followed him disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared in the cave temple.
Only Zheng Dache's body was lying on the ground and ignored, staring at what he was looking at.
I don't know how long it took, Gao Cheng was in the house, and suddenly heard Liu Taozhi shouting outside. He came out at once. Originally, I wanted to ask when the Imperial Doctor Ling would arrive. But when he opened the door, he saw Liu Taozhi, whose face had changed in shock, and he didn't know what made him so moved.
Liu Taozhi pointed to the Gongsun tree behind him.
Gao Cheng saw Zheng Dache's body at this time.
Gao Cheng walked over slowly step by step in disbelief, staring at the dead Zheng Dache on the ground without moving his eyes.
She had just said so many things to him that no one dared to say, and how long had she been lying here cold and motionless?
He walked up to Zheng Dache and stopped, and spit out two words with difficulty, "Is it him?" ”
"King Gao has returned to Yecheng." Liu Taozhi replied, he looked at Gao Cheng's back with great affection.
"What High King?!" Gao Cheng suddenly shouted angrily. He turned around and said, "Send the princess to the palace of the prince and the princess." ”
Liu Taozhi immediately responded with a proud "yes". He had already guessed what Lang was going to do.
At this time, the palace, the palace of the king of Qi, and even the mansion of the confidants of the king of Qi, these places are unsafe.
Gao Cheng approached Zheng Dache lightly, squatted down and looked at her carefully. She used to be beautiful, she used to have a pillow with him, she used to send him news in danger, and she used to have high hopes for him.
He could have given her something, so that she and her brother and son would have no worries for the rest of their lives. But now, he can't do it anymore.
Gao Cheng stretched out his hand and gently stroked Zheng Dache's eyes, helped her close her eyes, and gently commanded, "Settle Mrs. Zheng well." After saying that, he got up and walked towards the gate of the cave temple. Without the slightest hesitation or hesitation.
Yecheng, in the palace of the king of Qi.
In the inner house where Princess Qi and the eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua lived, Ah Jiao was helping Yuan Zhonghua to insert two dotted emerald gold hairpins into her hair bun. She carefully inserted two hairpins, and at the same time looked at the bronze mirror in front of her behind Yuan Zhonghua, afraid that it would be a little unbeautiful.
Ah Jiao was very strange in her heart. This golden hairpin was once lost in Lord Lang's study. Later, Lord Lang ordered someone to send it back. The mistress has been sitting it idle for a long time and has never used it again, not even looking at it. I don't know why I suddenly remembered it today, and I didn't hesitate to use it to decorate.
Ah Jiao let the two little finches fly against each other. She was a little uneasy, and it was a very strange feeling.
She glanced at the eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua in the bronze mirror, and today was particularly radiant. And there's a ...... Ah Jiao felt that she couldn't say that feeling. I just feel that the beauty of the housewife today is out of reach.
At this time, Yuan Zhonghua lit the lipstick by himself, and asked Ah Jiao if he had prepared a few little Langjun and little ladies. This is the first time she has brought her three children into the palace together.
"Is the princess going to take the prince, Shiro-kun, and the county lord with you?" Ah Jiao is still a little uneasy.
"You can't always hide, so I just explained to Queen Taishang. Since Bodhi, Asu and Wuxian are the children of King Qi, they will inevitably have all kinds of things in the palace in the future, and there is no way to hide. Yuan Zhonghua's tone was decisive. Ajiao has never seen her so committed and decisive.
