Yuan Shan was shocked when he heard this, and he lost his mind.

Gao Cheng suddenly felt that his heart was full of blood, and he was almost ecstatic in an instant. broke free from Yuan Shanjian's hand and kicked Yuan Shanjian to the ground, before Yuan Shanjian could react, Gao Cheng had already thrown the sword in his hand at him.

Yuan Shan saw that he couldn't afford a sword.

He stared at Gao Cheng in shock and anger. Unbelievably, he was finally going to die at his hands. This really became a fact.

The white robe on Gao Cheng's body was already dirty, and he could no longer stay out of it.

Gao Cheng looked at Yuan Shanjian with sweat and panting, "What about killing the king?" A person like this who is not worthy of being a man is even less worthy of being a king. It is the will of heaven for me to kill you, and it is the will of heaven for me to lose virtue and defeat you. Those who scold me today are not afraid, let alone what will happen after death? Who will remember who you will be thousands of years from now? Those who are self-righteous are laughing at in vain. ”

After saying that, Gao Cheng had already abandoned Yuan Shanjian, turned around and walked towards the hall.

Yuan Zen saw staring at Gao Cheng's back in a pool of blood. He couldn't say anything more, but he was still unwilling.

Sun Teng let out a long sigh of relief. He looked up at the night sky, the moon and stars were scarce, and he had a feeling in his heart that something big had come true. He finally lived up to the trust of King Xianwu.

Gao Cheng entered the hall, walked to the side of the big bed, and sat down gently to look at Yuan Zhonghua carefully.

Ah Jiao also came along.

Moonlight was really unbearable in her heart. Since Gao Cheng entered the palace of Renshou Palace, he had never looked at her, and his heart was full of Yuan Zhonghua.

Yuan Zhonghua was still motionless. She just opened her eyes and saw that Gao Cheng didn't respond, as if she had never known him, he was just a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

"Your Highness," Gao Cheng finally saw that Yuan Zhonghua was no longer like a dead man like just now, and his heart was already ecstatic.

But she didn't reflect on him, and it made him feel remorseful and mixed. If he could get her back as before, he would be willing to pay any price. "Your Highness has failed your highness...... It's all the fault of the lower officials...... Officials shouldn't be ......"

He said he had only her in his heart, did he really do it? When he saw the single golden hairpin on her head, his throat choked so much that he was about to suffocate.

It was he who changed his mind for the moonlight and ignored her, which made her suffer.

Yuan Zhonghua's eyes still didn't have any joy or sorrow, and he looked at him indifferently without resentment or hatred towards fellow travelers.

Regretting it is more uncomfortable than death, Gao Cheng only realized it at this moment.

The moonlight, which was also in the temple, was even more uncomfortable to hear. What was Gao Cheng's fault with Yuan Zhonghua? What was wrong with him? What shouldn't he do?

What she thought she had gotten now seemed to be all for naught.

Yuan Zhonghua's lips finally opened slightly, and instead of calling Gao Cheng's name, the two words clearly were "Bodhi".

Gao Cheng got up and picked up Yuan Zhonghua. He wanted to go back to his house, and he didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

As the night deepened, Yecheng finally calmed down.

The blood-soaked Wei Palace was empty.

The entire Qi Palace's mansion stayed awake all night, and the imperial doctors ordered them to shuttle back and forth.

It's finally dawning. The night was long and short, but it was still going to pass.

A decoction can cure a disease, but it may not save a life.

Gao Cheng woke up from his ecstasy.

He was scared and desperate.

Seeing Yuan Zhonghua wake up in Renshou Palace, he thought she would be fine. As long as she's well, they'll be able to go back to the way things were.

But the night passed inch by inch, and the dawn came little by little. In the end, he had to admit that she was really leaving, and there was no way he could keep her.

This night was their last. This moment is the parting of life and death. If he could, he hoped that the night would never pass.

In a fit of rage, he drove away the useless Imperial Doctor's order. The slaves and maids stood in the court with their heads bowed and waited for orders. The chaotic yard finally fell silent after a night of noise.

Gao Cheng suddenly felt powerless, he had never felt so small and useless. I can't even protect the people I want to protect the most, and I can't keep the people I want to keep the most.

Almost struggling to get into the inner bed.

Yuan Zhonghua was lying on his daily couch, looking very peaceful. The purple swelling on her cheeks had receded, as if she had returned to her previous appearance. It's like nothing happened yesterday.

It looked like she would be able to get up from the couch right away, smile and call him "Ah Hui" as before.

He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't lie to himself. This despair lingered, haunting him like a nightmare.

Gao Cheng sat down on the edge of the couch and leaned over to look down at her.

Yuan Zhonghua still had her eyes open, and for several hours, she didn't close her eyes. As if waiting for something.

Shizi Bodhi, Shiro Asu, and the little county lord Wuxian were all taken away.

Gao Cheng was remorseful. He promised her many things, but he didn't do it. At this moment, he longed to turn the day, just to have a chance to do it again.

"Your Highness......" Gao Cheng burst into tears. Thinking of how many past events in this house, I can't get them anymore. "Your Majesty is willing to don't want anything, just ask His Highness to turn around." He couldn't stop crying.

Yuan Zhonghua still looked at him like that, like a stranger who had nothing to do with him. Wouldn't she trust him anymore? Gao Cheng's heart had a headache like being cut by a knife.

I also want to hear her called "Ah Hui". He did hear her call "Bodhi", and after returning home, he was able to intermittently say something to his children and aunt. Why was he so stingy and didn't say a word?

"If Your Highness can't live, your lower officials will still die even if they live...... If His Royal Highness dies, it is better to die than to live......" Gao Cheng was wet with tears, choked up and couldn't cry. Everything was now meaningless in his mind.

"Lang Jun......" Yuan Zhonghua finally whispered weakly. There was a light in her eyes, as if she had awakened from her numbness, like an intact person.

Gao Cheng stopped crying in surprise, and looked at Yuan Zhonghua with green eyes full of tears. She had never called him that, as if she didn't know him. "May ...... Pimp...... Affection is always strong, and the body is always healthy......"

What does she mean by that?

"Your Highness!" Gao Cheng was anxious and almost clinged to her body, "Xiaguan...... His Royal Highness is safe, and Ah Hui can always be affectionate and healthy! ”

He didn't evoke any resonance from Yuan Zhonghua.

Yuan Zhonghua finally showed a faint smile. "Lang Jun...... Don't ...... anymore The concubine went...... We will never see each other again......" Her breath quickened. Gradually, thickening, aggravating.

Gao Cheng hugged Yuan Zhonghua and kept calling "Your Highness". He asked her to stay for a moment, so that he could show his heart and lungs.

Yuan Zhonghua never called "Ah Hui". Until she was in his arms and became cold.

Gao Cheng was in pain. He didn't have a chance, and no matter what he said, she wouldn't hear it again.

The last night will pass.

It is precisely because of the hidden in my heart and never forgotten that I am so obsessed that I can't brush away the wounds in my heart.

From now on, there is no such person as Yuan Zhonghua in the world.

Gao Cheng suddenly couldn't cry. He was silent, and had nothing to say.

But the house was lively.

The excitement is not because of festivities, but because of mourning.

The sky was miserable white, the cry shook the sky, and the people who mourned filial piety were endless.

Yuan Zhonghua's house was empty. The person was already in the coffin, and Gao Cheng fainted on the ground when he saw the coffin covered.

In Yuan Zhonghua's house, he closed the door and didn't see anyone. Sometimes I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, I didn't see her soul falling asleep, which added to the pain in my heart.

He didn't say a word, and he ignored everything. All the big and small matters in the funeral were handled by Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate.

No one understands why King Qi chose the place where the princess was buried in the Zhonghuang Shanwa Palace.

Only Ah Jiao understands. Only Yuan Zhonghua was the happiest at that time.

Ah Jiao walked into the inner bed. The house is about to be empty. A lively place before, maybe barren afterward. Thinking of this, her heart was like a knife. Shizi is still young, and he can't speak much. The county lord is innocent, and he is a little baby who has just landed, and he doesn't know that he has lost his mother.

When the biological mother dies, not only the child is lost, but when the child grows up, I am afraid that he will not remember the biological mother. Yuan Zhonghua will eventually be slowly forgotten in the barren grass grave.

Gao Cheng was wearing a sparse burlap dress, and his hemp waist was tied. He was half-lying and half-sitting on a couch without a crown on his head. He heard someone come in and ignored it, only unconsciously opened his eyes.

Ah Jiao walked to the couch and called softly, "Master Lang". Seeing that Gao Cheng didn't speak, she took out half of the jade flute from under the golden pillow used by Yuan Zhonghua and presented it.

Gao Cheng's eyes lit up at this time, and he quickly reached out to take it.

Ah Jiao said sadly, "This thing has always been placed close under the main mother's pillow, and it has been taken to look at it from time to time, and it has never been abandoned." ”

Yuan Zhonghua's former flute was given by Gao Yang when he was young, and he was thrown by Gao Cheng in a rage. This one was given by him, but it was accidentally dropped by Yuan Zhonghua and broken in two.

If she never threw away the broken flute, did she never abandon him in her heart? It was this jade flute that was closer to her than him. Gao Cheng wanted to die immediately at this moment, and her soul was attached to the jade flute to accompany her to sleep underground.

Seeing that Gao Cheng was no longer so numb, Ah Jiao took the opportunity to reply, "Sun Taibao and Cui Shilang are waiting to see Lord Lang." ”

Gao Cheng held the jade flute in his hand and caressed it carefully, and finally said after a long silence, "Order them to study and wait to see you." ”

It's cold, but there is no brazier in the study.

The study was full of people, and it seemed a little crowded. The originally anxious wait was heard that the king of Qi was coming, and everyone poured out.

Sure enough, I saw Gao Cheng slowly walking into the courtyard. He was wearing a Qi decay filial piety suit, his head and hair bun were messy, and his head was like a flying canopy. His eyes were red, and his jaw was full of messy green mustaches. The man was so emaciated that he was almost unrecognizable.

The people waiting here are not only Sun Teng and Cui Jishu, but also Gaoyang Wang Yuanyong. In addition, there are Chen Yuankang, Cui Xian, Gao Yue, Sima Ziru and so on.

No one dared to speak first, and the stars welcomed Gao Cheng into the study like a moon.

Gao Cheng naturally knew what was going on in his heart. He walked into the room and suddenly remembered when Yuan Zhonghua had spent the last night with him here. At that time, he was full of moonlight alone. I remember that there is only regret and pain.

Seeing Gao Cheng sitting down on the big bed, he still didn't think about it. The others looked different, but no one spoke.

Until Gao Cheng raised his head and looked at them one by one. His eyes were sharp and sharp, which made people breathe a sigh of relief.

Cui Jishu said first, "The mandate of heaven is here, the intention is on Lord Lang, Lord Lang should not shirk again, how can the country be without a king for a day?" ”

As soon as Cui Jishu said this, Sun Teng, Gao Yue and others knelt down to ask for their lives, and then they all spoke.

The so-called destiny returns, and this result is also expected sooner or later. Besides, who else can be the emperor again?

Gao Cheng was unmoved, his expression was indifferent, "Why do you come to me for such trouble?" ”

Yuan Yong was blessed to his soul at this time, and he was the first to kneel forward and said, "If Ming Gong does not allow it, who in the world can take on this heavy responsibility to save the common people?" ”

Sima Ziru, Sun Teng, and Gao Yue said, "The king will continue to dedicate the foundation of the king of Wu, and our old ministers are only willing to support the king." ”

Chen Yuankang, Cui Xian and others were originally Gao Cheng's henchmen, so naturally 10,000 were willing to do so.

Gao Cheng was silent, only listening to people's gossip, and he didn't say anything.

Cui Jishu seized the opportunity and said, "The world is in turmoil, and the lives have been ruined for a long time. If you want to protect the people and stabilize the country, you must be a king. The king can't bear to see that someone will be slaughtered again? ”

Then came the invitation of the people. The meaning is all the same as what Cui Jishu said.

Gao Cheng only nodded when he heard this, and said lightly, "I have made up my mind, and you don't have to ask for your life anymore." ”

The crowd returned safely.

Since this day, this kind of thing has been done three times, and Gao Cheng was invited.

Winter is finally here. The first snow is a thin layer of light snow. But this snow alone decorated Yecheng as if it were white jade, as if everything had been restored to clean.

In order to welcome the new emperor, the Wei palace was redecorated again.

Both unexpected and expected, the new emperor's dormitory was indeed not chosen in Renshou Palace, but in Xianyang Palace.

The country name is set as "Qi". The former Wei Palace has been transformed and has become the Qi Palace from now on.

In the Qi Palace of the outer and inner bedrooms, the Xianyang Hall is not outstanding and conspicuous, and it is in the east of the inner bedroom.

This kind of matter should not be delayed any longer, and an auspicious day was chosen as soon as possible to hold the ceremony.

Gao Cheng was appointed Emperor of Qi by Wei Chan.

Respecting one's father and ancestors is naturally not a problem. The princess Lou became the queen mother at this time, and she was also welcomed into the Qi palace.

The prince Gao Xiaowan was made the crown prince on the second day of the ceremony. At the same time, the prince's biological mother, Yuan, was posthumously named the queen.

King Qi's mansion was really empty. According to the mind of the new Great Qi Emperor, the old mansion is still guarded and cleaned. In the past, the princes of Qi and their biological mothers all moved into the Qi Palace, each with their own positions.

Princess Yujiu Lu, the princess of Rouran, had no name in the past, and now there is no reason to enter the palace.

It wasn't until the Son of Heaven announced that Moonlight saw Gao Cheng again many days later.

Although it is newly retouched, whether this Qi Palace is still Biwei Palace, Moonlight is reluctant to come.

The name of the place where she was brought was "Yaohua Palace", on the west side of the inner bed.

After passing through Yongxiang and passing through the palace, you can see the Yaohua Hall that originally fell between the countless cornices and birds.

Although the palace courtyard is also exquisite and gorgeous, it is still confined to one side in the huge Qi Palace, which is like being imprisoned.

The weather was excellent and the sky was dazzlingly blue. For many years after that, Moonlight would always think of this day, but she didn't expect that she would be alone here for so long from this day on.

The courtyard of the Yaohua Hall is very empty in winter. When the moonlight came in, he saw the eunuch standing solemnly, and Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, was in the courtyard.

There is a shallow pond in the atrium, and there is a small bridge on it, and there is a person standing on the bridge, and only the back can be seen.

Cui Jishu saw Yueguang and the others coming in, walked over and whispered to the man. The man turned around, and it was Gao Cheng. It's just so strange that people can't recognize it.

He was wearing a black robe, and his complexion was even more white as if it were transparent, and his green eyes were particularly intimidating.

The moonlight has not seen him for many days, and at this time, at first glance, his heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't help but walk towards Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng also walked down from the small bridge and walked towards her.

When two people stop, the distance between them is short, but it feels insurmountable.

Needless to say, the moonlight could feel that everything was gone. There is no need to say anything inappropriate.

Gao Cheng looked at the withered winter scenery in this courtyard, did not look at the moonlight, and asked, "Do you like this?" There was no concern in his tone, inadvertently revealing his thoughts. In fact, he didn't care if she liked it or not.

Moonlight is the first time to Yaohua Palace, and I can't talk about whether I like it or not. She also followed his gaze and looked around, but after all, she still refused to echo him, and replied, "Does Your Majesty want the concubine to like it or not?" Her voice was full of coldness.

This is obviously not what Gao Cheng wants to hear. He turned his head to look at the moonlight again, and said indifferently, "I said that marrying you as a wife will not make Qing have regrets." His eyes slowly reddened. I can't give the princess invited by Qing, so I can only marry Qing and give me a successor. ”

The moonlight almost bit the lip and bleed. It turned out that in Gao Cheng's heart, the princess could only be Yuan Zhonghua alone. Yuan Zhonghua is the woman with knotted hair and the biological mother of the prince, so she is naturally the queen of the yuan, and she can only be the successor.

Taorui, who was standing far away, was stunned. She didn't expect Princess Moonlight to end up with the same result as Princess Luoying.

Moonlight endured it, knelt down and said, "This is Your Majesty Longen." The concubine of the Rouran tribe thanked His Majesty for his grace. I only ask Your Majesty to help my brother expel the Turks in the future. ”

In the past, she always wanted to go back to the Rouran royal court. In fact, what if you really go back? Staying in Yecheng and being this queen, I am afraid this is also the ultimate she can do for Rouran and her brother.

Gao Cheng's expression relaxed. "Shuofang County Duke and I are about brothers, so naturally I will not sit idly by."

Thinking about it, the two of them seem to have nothing to say, just to end the matter.

When Gao Cheng came out of the Yaohua Palace, Cui Jishu accompanied the attendant and walked slowly.

After the snow, it is sunny at the beginning, and there is still endless snow on the ground.

He lowered his voice and said, "Everyone has established Princess Rouran as the successor, which can be regarded as giving enough face to the prince of Shuofang County." ”

Gao Cheng sighed angrily, "If the western thief is not eliminated sooner or later, it will be a disaster, and the chaos in the Southern Dynasty is close at hand, and it is inseparable." Naturally, you have to be gentle, although Shuofang County Gong is shrewd, he is also a person with affection. ”

The long black shadow walked farther and farther away in the snow, becoming more and more lonely.
