At this time, Princess Feng Yi's Princess Yuan Zhonghua came out of it behind Ah Jiao, obviously hearing Gao Cheng's words. blurted out, "If the husband thinks that I taught Ah Jiao to despise the concubine, just punish me, and don't be embarrassed." Her voice was also cold, although she looked deferential.

Gao Cheng didn't speak, seeing that although she was dressed in homely clothes, she was quiet and neat, her hair was combed very refreshingly, and her complexion was extremely beautiful. Thinking about Yuan Yuyi's pale complexion, she was full of exhaustion, and she also knew that this was the person he liked, and he was even more unhappy in his heart. But he finally endured it and said coldly, "Your Highness doesn't dare to punish Your Highness, Your Highness will do it yourself." ”

Ah Jiao has never seen the son of the world tolerate anyone so much. But seeing that the prince and the princess had a disagreement, and he couldn't let the prince endure this unhappiness in his heart, he knelt down and begged, "The slave is at fault, and I am willing to receive the whip." ”

Yuan Yuyi also knelt down at this time and said to Gao Cheng, "Ask the prince to calm his anger......" and looked up at Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng saw that her eyes were looking forward to each other, and she was very embarrassed, and she immediately understood. He lifted her up from the ground, looked at her and said, "It's up to you." ”

As if unintentionally, he glanced at Yuan Zhonghua, and it was Yuan Zhonghua who also looked up at him. Seeing that she was very aggrieved in her eyes, she felt a tingling in her heart, as if she had lost something. In an instant, he seemed to have something to say to Yuan Zhonghua, but he couldn't say it.

Yuan Zhonghua didn't give him a chance, and bowed his head respectfully and said, "If my husband thinks I'm not humble enough, just change my place to live." The implication is to let this courtyard be lived in by Gao Cheng and Yuan Yuyi.

Gao Cheng's heart was shocked. She easily gave Gao Yang the jade pendant that the emperor and queen rewarded when they got married, and now even the residence where they got married can be put aside so easily. His heart tingled even more, and once again he couldn't hold back the seizure, but he still said lightly, "Your Highness is used to living here, so you don't have to leave." ”

He glanced at Ah Jiao, who was still kneeling, again, "You should also get up and serve Your Highness well." "Said to Yuan Zhonghua again," the lower official said goodbye. With that, he pulled Yuan Yuyi and turned away.

It wasn't until out of the courtyard that there was no one to stop. Looking at Yuan Yuyi's extremely tired appearance, she said apologetically, "Let you be dragged down." This was said politely and distantly. It suddenly became clear that the distance between them was not that close.

Yuan Yuyi didn't expect him to say this, because she knew that he was not a person who would think for others. She had a bad premonition in her heart, and she always felt that his heart was not here, as if she was leaving. Suppressing this fear, he said with a smile, "I know that the prince has a lot of troubles, but I just hate that I can't solve the worries of the prince, let alone have a gap with the princess for me." If I can accompany the son of the world for a long time, as long as I can see the son of the world every day, I will have no regrets. I only wish that the world will be worry-free every day, and my wish is enough. ”

Gao Cheng looked at her as if he was a little distracted, and suddenly said for a long time, "I am very fortunate to be honored, and God favors me." ”

When Yuan Yuyi heard this, she looked at him and looked at him without belonging, and she hesitated in her heart.

It is most likely to break the human intestine at dusk.

Gao Changjun's actual least favorite thing is dusk. The sun is about to fall and the moon has not risen, and she always feels that her heart is at a loss in the twilight between heaven and earth. In the past twilight, only when I copied the scriptures to survive, I sought temporary peace in my heart. But at this moment, there is a different scene in the Jiaofang Palace.

In the depths of the curtain, Gao Changjun sat in front of the grape-patterned bronze mirror. The loose hair spilled down the shoulders and backs, covering the snow-white skin. There is no light in the house, the explanation is unknown, and it is not dark to say that it is dark. Sitting behind her was Emperor Yuan Xiu, still neatly dressed, but the black robe became more and more dull at this time.

Yuan Xiu held a wooden comb in his hand and gave Gao Changjun a haircut, and his hand seemed to be trembling slightly. Neither of them said a word, and there was no one else in the room, and the atmosphere was particularly heavy in the silence. But both of them seemed to care about this rare moment, enjoying it quietly, just afraid that it would fly by.

Finally, Yuan Xiuzhi's hand pulled Gao Changjun's hair in a trembling manner. He was shocked, hurriedly took off the wooden comb and threw it away, and gently stroked Changjun's sideburns.

Gao Changjun slowly turned around, looked at Yuan Xiu and said with a smile, "Does the husband like the prince or the princess?" She stared at Yuan Xiu deeply, her voice trembled slightly, and suddenly tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and then they flowed like a spring.

Yuan Xiu also looked at her, raised his hand to wipe her tears, and said in a trembling voice, "It's best to be like you." There were tears in his choked voice.

Gao Changjun couldn't help herself when she sobbed, Yuan Xiu hugged her into his arms, and she couldn't cry anymore. Yuan Xiu had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. Both of them are very clear people, she has too many can'ts, and so does he. The only thing that can be done is to hold on to the here and now.

This night, the lights in the Jiaofang Hall were not extinguished, and the people were not sleeping. And the same sleepless one was Ruoyun who was guarding outside the temple. When she entered the hall in the early morning, she saw that Emperor Yuan Xiu was still combing Empress Gao Changjun's hair. The queen's back looks extremely pitiful. For some reason, this scene remained in her memory for many years afterward.

No one spoke. And this moment seems like a long, long time.

Yuan Xiu seemed to have entered a process driven by inertia, simply repeating and repeating the action of combing his hair. And in my heart, I was reminding myself with great difficulty that it was time to stop, everything should be stopped. In the end, he made a decision as if he was embarrassed by himself, and did not comb it again, but only held the comb tightly in his hand.

Gao Changjun slowly turned around and looked up at Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu also looked down at her. Suddenly, he folded the comb in his hand hard. With a loud bang, the comb broke in two.

Both of them had a great pain in their hearts.

Yuan Xiu handed half of it to Gao Changjun, and he took the other half closely.

Gao Changjun carefully held this half of the stump comb and looked at Yuan Xiu, did not cry again, glanced at Ruoyun a little farther away with great perseverance in his eyes, and commanded very calmly, "Order someone to come in and serve Your Majesty, and today I will go out of the palace with Your Majesty to offer incense." ”

When Ruoyun saw this, he immediately went to beckon the servants and maids to come in.

While everyone else was busy with the big thing of the emperor and queen leaving the palace to enter the incense, Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, was busy with another matter.

Ordered by the prince Gao Cheng, Cui Jishu closely monitored the majority of the cabinet governors in the Yuntan Hall of the Inner Garden. As expected, Cui Jishu received a report early in the morning that there was actually a palace supervisor who helped Yu Jin communicate with the outside of the palace. And the one who had a secret letter with Yu Jin was not Guanzhong, but Nanliang.

This surprised Cui Jishu. Especially at this critical moment when the two countries are fighting each other, it is not a big or small matter to have an affair with the enemy. If this matter is confirmed, Yu Jin's life will not be spared. Cui Jishu didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he immediately went to report to the prince Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng listened to Cui Jishu's report but was not angry, but just took Cui Jishu straight to the Inner Garden Yuntan Hall to interrogate Yu Jin in person. At this time, he did not report the matter to Emperor Yuan Xiu. Gao Cheng had another plan in his heart: whether it was true or not, this was a good opportunity to get rid of Yu Jin. Yu Jin was removed, whether it was Emperor Yuan Xiu or Guan Zhong Yuwentai, they were like broken arms.

At this time, Gao Cheng didn't know that his younger brother Gao Yang had also entered the palace and had already arrived outside the Jiaofang Palace.

Compared with the figures of the Jiaofang Palace, the Inner Garden Yuntan Hall was extremely quiet, the door of the palace was closed, and there was hardly a person in sight. Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu retreated from the people who followed, and only two people walked outside the Cloud Altar Palace. Gao Cheng suddenly stopped outside the temple gate, staring suspiciously at the closed temple door.

Cui Jishu also stopped beside him, looked at him and asked puzzledly, "What is Lord Lang hesitating about?" ”

Gao Cheng waved his hand, "Slow down." "Yu Jin, as his name suggests, has always been a very cautious person. It's true that he is Yuwentai's confidant, but why did he fornicate with Nanliang? Does Yu Wentai know about this? Did Yuwentai also collude with Liang Guo? Even if Yuwentai wants to communicate with Liang Guo, why should he take a detour and tell Yu Jin to do it? What is Yu Jin's purpose in Luoyang? How could a prudent person cause such a crisis of accumulating wages in a fire? And let Cui Jishu catch the mistake so easily?

Gao Cheng turned to Cui Jishu and said, "How did you get the secret letter, call someone to interrogate it carefully." ”

Before Cui Jishu could answer, the door of the Cloud Altar Hall suddenly opened, and Yu Jin came out wearing hakama and fighting his sword. is no longer the scattered person who wore a Taoist robe a few days ago, nor is it the uninhibited demeanor that deliberately talks and laughs and provokes. Yu Jin tied his hair and short clothes, extremely capable, but his face was as serious as death.

Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu both looked up and looked at Yu Jin when they heard the voice.

Gao Cheng suddenly felt bad in his heart, and faintly felt that things had changed.

"High Waiter!" Yu Jin shouted loudly and walked over with his sword.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cui Jishu secretly took a few steps back and hid behind Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng bundled his hair with a high crown, praised his clothes and belts, and his feet were on the table. I didn't bring a sword when I entered the palace, and my clothes were extremely inconvenient. He watched quietly as Yu Jin approached, estimating the form in his heart, and on the surface he still looked calm and composed.

"Didn't Gao Shizhong ask me about the crime of fornicating with Liang General Lan Qin and Lan Jing's father and son? How are you leaving? Yu Jin asked calmly.

This is even more strange, collaborating with the enemy is equivalent to rebellion, it is a felony of extermination, where is someone who takes the initiative to deduct himself from a felony without waiting for things to be clarified?

Gao Cheng looked at Yu Jin, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Most of the governors are serious, there is no need to investigate this matter now, it will naturally be clear in the future." Since the Metropolitan Governor is on duty to guard the alchemy here, he doesn't have to worry about outside affairs. After that, he turned to Cui Jishu and instructed, "Since the Son of Heaven has a will, you must send more people to protect the Metropolitan Governor, and no idlers are allowed to disturb each other." ”

Cui Jishu received the order.

Gao Cheng glanced at Yu Jin deeply, turned around and left.

"Gao Cheng!" Yu Jin saw him turn around and leave, and suddenly shouted.

"Lord Lang!" Cui Jishu exclaimed.

Gao Cheng only felt that the cold wind behind him suddenly came, and he hurriedly dodged. When he turned around again, it was Yu Jin who raised his sword and slashed directly at the door in front of him.

Gao Yang waited outside the Jiaofang Palace, thinking about the repeated summons of the eldest sister Empress Gao Changjun in recent days, and it seemed that the words of the eldest sister had deep meaning. While he was thinking to himself, he suddenly saw the door of the temple open.

At this time, the temple eunuchs and palace maids were in groups, surrounded by the emperor Yuan Xiu and the empress Gao Changjun. Gao Yang hurriedly approached the audience.

Empress Gao Changjun looked at her younger brother Gao Yang, who was prostrate below, and suddenly said loudly, "Gao Yang, the second son of the King of Bohai, has always been respectful when he obeys orders, and the lord specially named him the founding prince of Taiyuan County, and awarded him to be a regular attendant. ”

This edict was too sudden, and Gao Yang suddenly became the focus. Even he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Gao Yang did not move, he knew that he did not have the skill of size, just because he was the son of the prime minister, it was not yet the time to be knighted, how could such an edict suddenly come? Moreover, it was the empress who told the edict, and his eldest sister was not the emperor himself. To receive the decree or not to receive the decree, to thank you or not to thank you?

The palace maids all secretly peeped at Emperor Yuan Xiu. Yuan Xiu's nature hates the prime minister Gao Huan the most when he was in Luoyang, and he replaced the emperor's order with his life. Now that the queen is openly giving her own brother in front of the emperor, how should the emperor be angry?

When the crow was silent, Emperor Yuan Xiu suddenly opened his mouth, "Gao Yang, aren't you grateful?" ”

Obviously, the emperor was not only not angry, but also deeply approved the queen's transgression.

Gao Yang then understood, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Get up, get up." Empress Gao Changjun urged. Seeing Gao Yang standing up, he ordered again, "The palace and the lord will go out of the palace together to worship the Buddha in the Qianxiang Temple of Longmen Mountain, and the Taiyuan Duke will follow him." With that, he took Emperor Yuan Xiu and walked towards the chariot together.

Gao Yang was stunned, hurriedly whispered a few words to the person who followed him, and then followed God quickly.
