Chapter 77: Don't Have Sorrow and Secret Hate (II)
Mrs. Lou didn't seem to care about anyone. But when she glanced at it, she had already seen Gao Yang's injury, Gao Cheng's anger, and Yuan Zhonghua's dilemma, grievance, and anger. In the end, she set her eyes on her son Gao Cheng.
Mrs. Lou's eyes were full of sternness, as well as implied warnings.
Gao Cheng lowered his head slightly and turned his head to the side.
Gao Yang took a step forward, "Mother ......"
"What a way to do this!" Mrs. Lou interrupted Gao Yang and glanced at everyone at the scene again, and everyone felt like a man's back. "The prince is now in charge of the government, and the princes above the temple must respect him. When the prime minister of the house was not there, the prince was the head of the family, and even I had to listen to his orders, let alone others. As she spoke, she glanced at her second son, Gao Yang.
When these words came out, several people were surprised. Everyone else silently complied. In fact, if you think about it, the meaning of Mrs. Lou's words is very clear, the prince Gao Cheng is the future master of the Gao family, if he does not respect him, the Gao family will become scattered and will be easily defeated. It is natural for Mrs. Lou to say this with her long-term vision.
Mrs. Lou withdrew her gaze from Gao Yang and stared at Gao Cheng, "Now that your brothers are getting older, even though I am a mother, I naturally can't take care of your affairs." Just fight like when you were a child, what does it look like to outsiders? She paused and said, "Zijin is young after all, and he still needs to be taught slowly by his brother." ”
Mrs. Lou saw Yuan Zhonghua frowning and bowing her head, so she ordered, "Disperse." ”
Only Gao Yuanjun behind Mrs. Lou was a little overwhelmed.
Gao Cheng stared at Yuan Zhonghua, the princess of Feng Yi who was still standing in the local area.
The time of noon has passed quietly in the chaos of coaxing you to sing and I will appear. I don't know when it started, the sun is no longer shining, and the weather is cloudy and sunny in the afternoon. Large dark clouds obscured the sun, and from time to time the sun emerged from the clouds, inlaying the clouds with shining gold edges. From far away came the rolling thunder.
The person who is most uneasy in my heart is Ah Jiao. Perhaps only she understands best in her heart that the nameless anger of the prince today has directly stirred up the peace in the palace and the house, but in fact, it is just for one person - the princess of the prince, Princess Feng Yi, and Princess Yuan Zhonghua.
At this moment, Shizi Gao Cheng walked straight back to his courtyard as if no one was around. He heard the soft, slow, timid footsteps behind him come from far and near, and stopped behind him in a place that said not far away, but also near and not near. He immediately turned around, and sure enough, he saw his wife, Princess Feng Yi, Yuan Zhonghua, standing behind him not far away, watching him. Obviously she was a little afraid of him, but she didn't shy away from it, and looked at him.
Gao Cheng glanced at Ah Jiao and the others behind Yuan Zhonghua again. Ah Jiao was obviously really afraid of him, and leaned down and didn't dare to look at him. Gao Cheng walked towards Yuan Zhonghua step by step, but his eyes were looking at Ah Jiao. walked to Yuan Zhonghua's side and said slowly, "You have committed such a big mistake in serving His Royal Highness, and you will be whipped ......."
"Husband!" Yuan Zhonghua suddenly interrupted him with a surprise exclamation.
"Lord Lang forgives sins." Ah Jiao and the others knew the temper of this stubborn son too well, and they were already scared like sifting chaff. Fortunately, the princess did not finish his words. Otherwise, if he had said a hundred lashes, I would have killed all these slaves and maidservants today under the rods.
Gao Cheng frowned and looked at Yuan Zhonghua, who was terrifyingly quiet for a while. Yuan Zhonghua was anxious and afraid, looking at Gao Cheng's face with great attention, like a child who had done something wrong and was watching and waiting for his parents' reaction.
Gao Cheng felt funny when he saw Yuan Zhonghua's expression, and he couldn't help but laugh suddenly. His smile made the overwhelmed Ah Jiao and others even more afraid.
"Get out, get out!" Yuan Zhonghua was afraid that Gao Cheng would angrily scold the slave again, so he blurted out in a hurry.
No one dared to move.
Gao Cheng stared at Yuan Zhonghua directly, and said lightly for a long time, "Didn't you hear His Highness speak?" ”
Ah Jiao and the others dispersed in a swarm as if they were on the order of grace.
There were only two people left in the courtyard, Gao Cheng and Yuan Zhonghua. Yuan Zhonghua felt extremely nervous, he couldn't stand Gao Cheng's cold gaze, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and tilted his head slightly.
"Since Your Highness sent them all, did you want to quench the anger in my heart yourself?" Gao Cheng asked again.
He looked down at Yuan Zhonghua carefully, and found that after not seeing her for a long time, she had grown up a lot. I couldn't see her eyes, only the eyelashes that were densely protecting her eyes and fluttering slightly. Glancing up with great interest, his eyes keenly felt that even the golden hairpin on her head seemed to tremble slightly, and he immediately sensed her nervousness. He reached out and slowly wrapped his fingers around the fringed strands of hair that hung over her shoulders with interest.
Yuan Zhonghua subconsciously hid back, anxious and embarrassed, and suddenly said, "Why is the prince angry?" ”
Gao Cheng's face stiffened, but he quickly replied with an expression, still caressing her hair very warmly, and slowly asked word by word, "Your Highness really doesn't know why?" ”
Yuan Zhonghua listened to his serious question, and raised his head to look at him in confusion.
"What I said, Your Highness, is completely in the ears of the wind." Gao Cheng said as he suddenly remembered the situation when Gao Yang was holding Yuan Zhonghua's hand just now. It's clear that it's hard to protect herself, but you can stay out of the world like that and only face her alone.
Yuan Zhonghua saw that Gao Cheng didn't speak, but his eyes were like illusions, he didn't know what he was thinking, and looked at him curiously.
Gao Cheng remembered that when he came back from Jiankang that year, he saw Gao Yang and Yuan Zhonghua together at the gate of the mansion. For a moment, the two of them whispered side by side, and the shadows of their hands holding each other overlapped. His breathing suddenly became heavy, but he tried to suppress it. endured anger like this and desperately suppressed it, which made Yuan Zhonghua afraid. He has always done whatever he wants, why is he so forbearant at this moment?
Gao Cheng's fingers pulled away from her hair, and he looked her from the bun to her cheeks, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her cheeks. It's so delicate that you can't bear to touch it. But he soon landed his hand on her shoulder, slid down her shoulder and down her back to her waist, and then paused there abruptly.
It seems that he originally wanted to have a goal and went all the way. But halfway through, I remembered that the goal didn't exist, so I couldn't move forward. Yes, that jade pendant was originally her usual thing, but at the moment his hand couldn't touch it. It was carried around his brother's waist.
Gao Cheng couldn't help but take Yuan Zhonghua's hand, held it in his hand hard, and suddenly said angrily: "The reward of the wedding, the belongings of His Highness, can be lightly allowed to others, where does His Highness put me?" My mother still knows that she will look down on me, but Your Highness doesn't know it? ”
"The prince is married to a woman from the Yuan clan, and now that he has it, what more can he ask for a husband?" Yuan Zhonghua's hand was pinched by him in extreme pain, and he tried to break free. Isn't what Gao Cheng wants is her identity as the Yuan clan? And for their wedding, the emperor specially named her a princess, isn't that enough? Why on earth is he angry? What exactly does he want?
Seeing that Yuan Zhonghua was trying so hard to get rid of him, Gao Cheng suddenly dragged Yuan Zhonghua towards the inner rooms above. He just strode forward, ignoring the fact that Yuan Zhonghua, who was being dragged by force behind him, stumbled and almost fell.
Walking to the door of the room, Gao Cheng raised his leg and kicked it over. There was a loud bang, and the door opened. Gao Cheng pulled Yuan Zhonghua into the room and walked straight inside. Then he waved his arm and shook it fiercely, Yuan Zhonghua was light and weak, and he was thrown out almost by him, and there was another loud bang, followed by Yuan Zhonghua's exclamation, and then it was quiet.
"Yes, what Xia Guan wants is a woman from the Yuan clan, and now that he has it, he has nothing else to ask for. Now that His Highness has grown up, what do you want? It's just to help the lord win over the ministers. In this case, if the lower officials take His Royal Highness as his wife, and His Royal Highness as his husband, we will be safe and sound, and the lower officials will have nothing else to ask for. He paused suddenly, he kept saying that there was nothing else to ask for, was there really nothing else to ask for?
After hesitating, he still relented, and said slowly and coldly and stiffly, "Since there are mutual demands, Your Highness should respond to the situation as the princess and concubine." The temperament of the lower officials is like this, I hope His Royal Highness will understand. If His Royal Highness frequently violates the taboo of the lower officials, isn't he forcing the lower officials to divorce his wife and remarry? Gao Cheng relented.
All of a sudden, it was quiet again. Yuan Zhonghua's figure could be seen in the dark, she seemed to be lying on the ground in front of the couch, motionless, and she didn't know what she was thinking when she heard her husband Gao Cheng's cruel words. How overbearing and unreasonable this is. Just because he gave her the false name of a princess, she had to follow his temperament and temperament, and there could be no disobedience. But what if not? Even the emperor will be killed if he doesn't obey the prime minister, not to mention that she is just a daughter of a clan in the name of a princess. It is quite polite to say that he will divorce his wife and remarry.
Gao Cheng was surprised for a moment when he saw that there was no movement in the dark, and was silent for a moment, the anger just now had already been extinguished, and he couldn't help but take a few steps closer to Yuan Zhonghua. She was still motionless, although he didn't take her to heart, but after all, she was his concubine, and her name was here, even if it was for his own face, he couldn't ignore it.
So Gao Cheng walked closer, squatted down, and stroked his hand on Yuan Zhonghua's body, but she was still motionless. At this time, Fang felt that there was a problem, and he felt that his hands seemed to be stained with something, and it was wet. He bent down and picked up Yuan Zhonghua on the ground, and while calling the servant loudly, he put Yuan Zhonghua on the couch.
The servants are coming. Hurriedly lit the lamps and candles, Gao Cheng took advantage of the bright side to see that Yuan Zhonghua had already fainted. I don't know where he hit when he threw him away just now, and his forehead was full of blood. Seeing that she was lying motionless on the couch with her eyes closed at this time, it was clear that she was still a little girl, and she immediately regretted that she was too ruthless.
Without the orders of the prince, Ah Jiao and the others naturally coaxed to ask for the imperial doctor. Cleaning the wound for a while, using medicine, people come and go until dawn is approaching. The Imperial Physician came and went, and Gao Cheng only sat on the edge of the couch in a distraught, and then he didn't remember what the Imperial Physician said. As for what Ah Jiao and the others did, and when they all dispersed, he didn't remember at all. I don't remember if he slept or didn't sleep that night. When he was completely conscious, all he remembered was hearing someone call.
Gao Cheng saw the servant looking at him with questioning eyes, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The servant realized that the prince didn't hear anything just now, so he replied again, "Back to the prince, it's Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who is asking to see the prince outside." Because it was the princess's inner bed, she didn't dare to come in. ”
"Nope." Gao Cheng refused without thinking about it. He turned his head to look at Yuan Zhonghua, who was still asleep on the couch.
The servant took the command and went out. But it didn't take long for him to come back, saying that Cui Jishu had something important to ask the prince to go out, and it was a matter in the palace.
Gao Cheng's mind was not here now, he only felt that his thoughts were like a mess, and he shouted angrily, "No, no, order him to leave quickly." ”
The servant had no choice but to go out again to spread the word.
But after a while, Gao Cheng heard Cui Jishu shouting loudly outside, "Shizi! Uncle Zheng is in a hurry! ”
Gao Cheng couldn't hold back any longer, so he got up and ran outside.
Cui Jishu saw that the prince would come out so soon, and was secretly happy, and stepped forward and whispered, "Lord Lang, Yu Jin gives the Lord a ......" Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly grabbed by Gao Cheng by the collar, Cui Jishu was shocked and hurriedly called, "Lord Lang, it's Shuzheng." ”
"I'm really here to help." Gao Cheng said angrily, "Don't talk about court affairs today, you go back." Saying that, he has let go of Cui Jishu.
"Lord Lang, Uncle Zheng expected that Yu Jin had offered a plan to the Lord, and he would not be ......wrong," Cui Jishu wanted to continue.
"Shut up!" Gao Cheng was upset, he couldn't bear it anymore, "Get out quickly!" ”
Cui Jishu is the person who knows Gao Cheng's temper best, so he really doesn't dare to say any more. Otherwise, anything could happen.
At this time, Ah Jiao suddenly ran out of it and called, "Shizi, Your Highness is awake." ”
Hearing this, Gao Cheng turned around and left, leaving Cui Jishu dumbfounded. By the time he reflected, the prince had long since disappeared.
