Chapter 23: True and False (1)
Since the beginning of summer, the weather has quickly become muggy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Listening to the monotonous and repetitive cries outside the window, Yuan Yuyi in the Mulan Workshop was extremely upset. Although Gao Cheng has been in Dongbai Hall a lot recently, most of the time he either discusses political affairs with his henchmen or doesn't know what to do in Minghe Hall, but rarely takes care of her.
Yuan Yuyi's belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day, and the weather was stuffy, so she felt extremely hard, so she was also irritable. This is the most obvious feeling of the girl. In the past, she always thought that the lady was quiet and gentle, but it was not as good as the day before yesterday, it was like two people. Even so, the girl was also wronged for the lady in her heart.
In the past, when Princess Feng Yi was pregnant, she lived in Dongbaitang for a few days, and the general was always concerned and cared about everything. Why is there such a big difference between before and after when the lady is pregnant? It can only be attributed to the fact that the situation in the DPRK has changed, and the foreign government is not appeased, right? Even the Ti Nu felt that the dreary Yecheng in the summer was not as quiet as it seemed on the surface.
However, Jibei Wang Yuanhui and his wife were particularly concerned about Princess Langya's pregnancy. Not only always send greetings, but also always send some extremely meticulous and thoughtful things. Not only did the girl sigh, but even Yuan Yuyi sighed in the end. It can be seen that the king of Jibei cares very much about the fetus in Yuan Yuyi's womb.
It was rare to meet with Princess Jibei, and the princess secretly felt that the general was inconsiderate, the fetus was as big as Xu, and the biological mother did not even have a name. Wouldn't it be shameful to wait until the child was born? Even if no one dares to laugh at the general's blood and bones, it is not justified after all.
Yuan Yuyi really went to her heart. Later, even the girl complained a few words in front of the lady from time to time. Yuan Yuyi was even more resentful, feeling that it was the princess and concubine Yuan Zhonghua who refused to accept her.
Gao Cheng actually has the heart to care about this matter.
Since it was agreed to issue an edict to Gao Zhongmi on the order of the emperor, the edict must have been delivered to Northern Yuzhou. But for so long, there has been no news from Northern Yuzhou. Not only did there be no news from Northern Okyuju, but even Jeju's Goji did not send another letter.
I don't know what the situation is when it's far away, but it's even more suspicious that it's so calm and waveless. Gao Cheng was a little out of breath. Even if Gao Zhongmi has any abnormal movements, it is normal, such no action makes people wait in fear, and it is the most impossible to deal with.
There is news of Chang'an City. It is said that the great prime minister Yu Wentai has so far taken charge of the government and has become the de facto son of heaven. The puppet emperor Yuan Bao Torch lived in the Zhaoyang Hall in the palace, and at first said that he was sick, but then there was no news, and I don't know if he was cured or sick.
I heard that the crown prince Yuan Qin was in charge of the country, and he also had to obey Yuwentai. There are eight generals of the Pillar Kingdom, including Yuwentai, all of whom obey Yuwentai's orders. Even the kings of the clan headed by Yuanxin, the king of Guangling, all obeyed Yuwentai's orders.
This point made Gao Cheng feel the most emotional. Although Xikou is poor and weak, Yuwentai can gather the strength of a country to resist in the east. But he has to be constantly on guard, distracted everywhere, and always unable to concentrate and concentrate. Although Xikou was surrounded by Great Wei, Rouran, Tuyuhun, and Daliang, Yuwentai never bowed to any state, which could not help but convince Gao Cheng.
For those who wait, the time is just as long.
For a long time, the mansion of Assassin Shi Gao Zhongmi in Yecheng was deserted. In fact, Li Changyi's anxiety is no less than that of Gao Cheng in Dongbaitang.
The black-clothed masked people last time were Gao Zhongmi's henchmen, and they were specially sent back to the capital from Northern Yuzhou to take Li Changyi to Xingyang. There are still many questions about the details in the meantime, and Li Changyi has not figured it out. But she knew that her husband Gao Zhongmi's operation had failed.
When Gao Zhongmi's henchmen arrived in Yecheng, they only had time to see the master's mother and tell her intentions. Then he went out of the house to make a pre-arrangement, but before he could actually act, he accidentally bumped into the general Gao Cheng, and he was greedy for merit and assassination in a hurry, and things completely came to a situation that Gao Zhongmi had never expected.
Gao Cheng was stabbed that night, and suddenly came to the mansion, Li Changyi never expected this result, and his mood was really indescribable. Fear is certain, worry is also certain, afraid that things will be exposed, cover up everywhere, fortunately, there are no flaws in front of Gao Cheng. At least that's what Lee Changyi herself thinks.
From that night on, however, things changed. The husband's henchmen never came again, which made Li Changyi feel strange.
And Li Changyi's mind has also changed since that night. I don't know why, I always think of Gao Cheng lying on the couch and sleeping when he was injured. When he was quiet, when he was asleep, it was completely different from when he was awake, so beautiful that she couldn't help but want to touch it to be sure. Or, you want to keep it for yourself.
This thought startled Li Changyi herself.
But he never came again, I guess he won't come again, right? Li Changyi didn't know whether she should feel lucky to have escaped Gao Cheng's suspicion, or whether she should be sad that he had no intention of her at all.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, holding a copper comb in his hand and combing the ends of his hair, Li Changyi's mind was not here at all. I didn't notice the bitter leaves walking in.
"Little lady." Bitter leaf called.
Li Changyi trembled suddenly as if she was frightened, the copper comb fell to the ground, and she raised her head and looked at the bitter leaf in puzzlement.
"Does the little lady know why Lord Lang's people didn't come again?" Kuye didn't understand Li Changyi's current thoughts at all, so he lowered his voice and asked. It's a bit of a mystery to be a little bit of a joke.
Li Changyi didn't speak, she shook her head, did she care about this question, or didn't she care too much about it?
"The fourth week of the mansion is all people sent by General Chen Changyou." Kuye didn't have an appetite either, and told Li Changyi the news she had just heard from the servants in the palace.
Li Changyi's heart shook. Chen Yuankang is Gao Cheng's confidant, and he must have been instructed by Gao Cheng to do this. But why did he do it?
In the afternoon in Dongbai Hall, I knew that the screams continued. Not only Yuan Yuyi was upset, but even Gao Cheng felt annoyed and chaotic.
When Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu hurriedly broke in, Gao Cheng was alone in Dongbai Hall to carefully inspect the map. The door of the house was suddenly pushed open, startling Gao Cheng. No one has ever dared to break into the Crane Hall. And Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu, who had just broken in, were also stunned.
The general's hair was disheveled, his head was like a flying canopy, and he was wearing a white robe without a belt, but he looked a little thin. Those who don't know the truth think that they have just woken up and have not had time to freshen up. Gao Cheng looked back at them with a sharp look in his eyes, and he looked very unhappy. But he actually had a sprig of grass between his lips, and he didn't know where it came from.
This path of grass made his whole painting style change. It's not like Zaisuke, who is worried about state affairs, like a playful child, standing in front of the map is particularly incompatible.
Cui Jishu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
Chen Yuankang couldn't laugh at all.
Gao Cheng's lips opened slightly, reached out to catch the grass, and walked back to the big bed calmly. He was already barefoot, so he simply went to the big bed and sat down.
"General, Gao Zitong has a letter." Chen Yuankang also came over, but he didn't have a silk book in his hand.
This time, Gao Jishi deliberately sent his henchmen to explain, for fear that the description between the lines would not be clear. If the letter falls into the hands of someone else on the way, it will cause trouble.
Gao Cheng's beautiful green eyes immediately lit up, full of brilliance, and asked urgently, "What did Zitong say?" He involuntarily leaned over, which shows how much he hopes for news from Henan.
"The emperor's edict has been sent a long time ago, and again and again, Gao Zhongmi was not only indifferent and ignored it, but also sent someone to Chang'an to send a letter to Yuwen Black Otter." Chen Yuankang's tone was as gentle as possible. This matter is also said to be serious, and it is not serious to say that it is not serious.
"Again and again?" Gao Cheng blurted out, staring at Chen Yuankang.
Chen Yuankang looked at Cui Jishu puzzled.
"The general only gave Gao Zhongmi an 'edict'", he is a squire of the Yellow Gate, and he knows this matter best.
Gao Cheng suddenly understood, he stretched out his legs and suddenly stood up from the big bed.
Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu also understood. There is no one else, naturally it is Emperor Yuan Shanjian who also gave Gao Zhongmi a real edict.
"The shaft also has this bad heart." Gao Cheng said angrily.
This "shaft", Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang were stunned before they understood, and what they were talking about was Yuan Shanjian. And Yuan Shanjian gave Gao Zhongmi an edict, presumably to win over Gao Zhongmi. Gao Cheng dismissed it as "bad intentions".
Cui Jishu didn't dare to speak, Gao Cheng had already thrown the grass that he had been playing with in his hand towards Cui Jishu, and said angrily at the same time, "Minion, I don't know such a trivial matter, what's the use?" ”
Of course, Qingcao can't hurt Cui Jishu. Gao Cheng's anger towards Cui Jishu is also understandable. Yuan Shan saw this move, Cui Jishu, as the waiter of the Yellow Gate, didn't know anything in advance, isn't it a dereliction of responsibility? This mistake occurred at this critical time, no wonder Gao Cheng was angry.
And Chen Yuankang's understanding is deeper. I'm afraid Gao Cheng is anxious about the internal and external difficulties at this time.
"The general doesn't have to worry too much. Although Xingyang is close to the Tiger Prison and is afraid of Gao Zhongmi's secret rebellion, after all, there is a river bridge in front and a fort in the back, and the party army is in a tiger's position, and Gao Zhongmi does not dare to act rashly. Chen Yuankang was afraid that Gao Cheng would be in a hurry at this time, so he was relieved.
Cui Jishu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Gao Cheng, and said in his mouth, "Lord Lang and Mrs. Gao Zhongmi are like glue, are you still afraid that she won't listen to Lord Lang?" asked her to write a letter to Gao Zhongmi, Gao Zhongmi cared about this woman, and she would return the letter. Why should Lord Lang be in a hurry? ”
In Cui Jishu's opinion, this idea is more effective than the recall of the fake emperor's order. After all, Gao Zhong Miken broke with the Cui family in order to marry Li Changyi's Xiu Yuan, which shows Li Changyi's status in his heart. This is what Cui Jishu sees from this angle.
Chen Yuankang frowned and glanced at Cui Jishu. He felt that this idea was very dirty, and in fact he still had nothing to say, but just now he felt that there was no need to say more. Unexpectedly, Cui Jishu hit Gao Zhongmi's wife Li with his idea, and it would be inappropriate for him not to say it again. Chen Yuankang didn't expect that this Li family was actually the root cause of the disaster.
"General, this plan is definitely not feasible." Chen Yuankang forcibly glanced at Cui Jishu. If that's a ploy. Seeing Gao Cheng looking at him, Chen Yuankang patiently and gently explained, "Gao Zi's correspondence said that a few days ago, Gao Zhong secretly sent his henchmen back to Yecheng, presumably those black-clothed people who wanted to assassinate the general. Gao Zhong secretly wanted his henchmen to take his wife Li to Xingyang, because he bumped into the general but failed. He didn't dare to stay in Yecheng any longer, so he returned to Xingyang. After the henchmen returned, Gao Zhongmi was furious for a while, and even ......" Chen Yuankang was speechless and looked at Gao Cheng.
"Or even what? Brother Changyou, it doesn't hurt for Ru Dan to talk about it. Gao Cheng was calm, he was also prepared in his heart, Gao Zhongmi would never say anything good about him behind his back, and there was nothing to make him angry. If he doesn't even have this bit of energy, what else will he do.
Chen Yuankang looked at Gao Cheng's calm expression, and said, "Gao Zhongmi...... He scolded the general and said, 'My wife...... It's ...... not to be a person'" Chen Yuankang tried his best to say it lightly, his tone softened, and his voice became softer. He looked at Gao Cheng's expression very carefully, but he was actually quite unimpressed.
He hadn't thought about what was going on with Shizi and Li that night. Anyway, he knows who the prince is, and he doesn't think it's a big deal. Chen Yuankang also knows a little about Li's behavior, and I am afraid that he is not a woman who can be at ease in the room. The prince loves to play, if the Li family also wants to indulge in the past, isn't it natural that it will come naturally?
just spread to Gao Zhongmi, scolding the prince so much, it seems that the prince is all to blame for this matter, which is really unfair to the son. Maybe Gao Zhongmi's play on the topic is unknown. At this time, and Gao Zhongmi is in this pivotal place, this matter is complicated.
Cui Jishu was also shocked, but he didn't expect Chen Yuankang to hide such a paragraph. On the road just now, Chen Yuankang talked to him about the content of Gao Ji's letter, but he didn't mention this verse. In Cui Jishu's view, isn't the prince self-defeating? According to the scene he saw that day, what was going on between Shizi and the Li family? Why did he become the son of the world, the wife of others, and he is not a human being?
Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng's gaze with great regret.
Gao Cheng didn't expect him to make a half-truth joke with Li Changyi, originally just to find out the news, why did it reach Gao Zhongmi so quickly? And became his ** wife? Don't say he didn't do it, even if he did, it would be wishful thinking. Li is not a chaste martyr, he also saw that her husband was absent for a long time, and he was depressed, so he thought about doing good to quench Li's hunger and thirst.
"Gao Zhongmi actually said such bastard words?!" Gao Cheng was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and the angry shouts shook the house, and the aftermath lingered.
"Why should the prince pay attention to him?" Chen Yuankang persuaded. He didn't think it was a big deal.
"Since this is already the case, the prince might as well grab the Li family in his hand and make good use of it." Cui Jishu smiled secretly in his heart while coming up with an idea. guessed that Gao Cheng must have failed that night, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry. It looks like he's wronged.
Gao Cheng was reminded. He is not a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and he has never cared what others think of him, so why should he care about this Gao Zhongmi. Using Lee Chang-yi, even if the idea is shameful, so what? The most important thing is that there can be no more problems in the land of Henan, otherwise he and Yuwen Black Otter will fight again, and the result will be difficult to say. (To be continued.) )
