Chapter 211: Dongbai Hall Gathers to Discuss Secret Matters (3)
Lin Xingren waved his sleeves to the little eunuch who was passing the word. The little eunuch understood, and immediately went out to spread the word that Wang Yuanhui of Jibei came in.
Yuan Hui came in quickly. When he entered the hall, he seemed to have inadvertently raised his head and lowered his head to advance, and he had already seen the situation in the hall clearly, and even the blood stains on Yuan Shanjian's face could be seen clearly. He only bowed and bowed, and only pretended to raise his head inadvertently when he heard the emperor order him to get up.
"Your Majesty! How...... How to ......" Yuan Hui was shocked. He glanced at Lin Xingren beside the emperor again, this time he was really surprised, he didn't take a closer look at Lin Xingren just now, and he was far away. I did see that Lin Xingren was not quite right just now, and after a closer look, I found that Lin Xingren's injury was really not light, and the strangulation marks on his neck were particularly obvious. "How can you ...... the Zhongchang Servant," Yuan Hui quickly turned angry and said, "Who dares to be rude to the Lord?" "This is, of course, knowingly asked. Not only did he know that it was Gao Cheng, but he even knew that Gao Cheng had returned to Dongbai Hall to pass on the secret discussion of his confidants.
"The shaft is too deceitful!" Yuan Shanjian is usually a very forbearant person. But today he really felt that it was already in crisis. Gao Cheng dared to do something with him, wouldn't it be obvious that he was going to sit back and wait to be killed?
"Who is Your Majesty talking about?" Yuan Hui looked at Yuan Shanjian with wide eyes and asked.
"Your Highness, who else can hurt Your Majesty like this?" Lin Xingren was afraid that he would be annoyed by the emperor by pretending to be confused, so he took a deep look at Yuan Hui.
"King Gao's second son, the prince Gao Cheng and his second brother Gao Yang are both in the court, and the rest of the sons are still young." Yuan Hui said chatteringly, looking at Yuan Shanjian's face. In fact, he was reminding Yuan Shanjian that if he didn't make a decision early, and when Gao Huan's young sons all grew up and became officials, wouldn't the temple be full of the Gao family? Gao Cheng already has no scruples and does whatever he wants, if he adds another arm, it is simply unimaginable.
"Gao Yang?" Yuan Zenjian's attention was suddenly diverted. He groaned and didn't speak, and it seemed that Gao Cheng and this younger brother hadn't become one yet. His heart suddenly lit up, it was because they did not achieve a common goal, if the goal was really the same, according to Gao Cheng's promotion of his younger brother at present, Gao Yang would soon become his most powerful assistant. But what if he could promise it and pull Gao Yang into his own hands?
"This Taiyuan Gong is a bit stupid." Yuan Hui sighed.
None of them spoke again, for they were thinking the same thing about it. If Gao Yang can be the same as Gao Cheng, it will be easy, and it is not impossible for them to fight each other. Now I am afraid that Gao Yang is rotten wood that cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be enclosed.
"Didn't you place someone in Dongbai Hall?" Yuan Shanjian glared at Yuan Hui. Everyone knew that the Shogun favored the new Maiko, but they had little useful information.
Yuan Hui was very dissatisfied. To say that Yuan Shanjian's kung fu of pretending to be stupid can really be called his stupidity, and he can fight with Ning Wuzi, so he can save his life, and let King Gao also pretend to be a virtuous minister with great humility, and the two of them use each other. But when he didn't have to pretend in private, Yuan Shanjian was extremely arrogant to him, and put the emperor's score. Yuan Wei could only endure it, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if you send more news, it's nothing more than who Gao Cheng met, what did he say, and what if he knew?" It doesn't help in big things. When His Majesty really makes a decision one day, he will take advantage of his unpreparedness at the critical time to strike a fatal blow, and one time is enough. ”
These words made Yuan Shanjian completely calm down, glanced at Yuan Hui, and did not speak again, obviously persuaded by him.
And Lin Xingren also began to think about it in his heart.
At this time, the door of the hall opened gently, and a small eunuch slave flashed in, and hurriedly approached Lin Xingren's side and said a few words. Yuan Shanjian and Yuan Hui both looked at Lin Xingren.
"Lord," Lin Xingren suddenly glanced at Yuan Hui before replying, "The queen is here, just wait outside." ”
"Invite the Queen in." Yuan Shanjian commanded loudly.
The little eunuch took the order and left.
Seeing this, Yuan Shan glanced at Yuan Hui and waved his sleeves, signaling him to dodge. Yuan Hui had already had this intention, and after taking a look at Lin Xingren, Lin Xingren called a little eunuch and took Yuan Hui away.
As soon as Yuan Hui left, Empress Gao Yuanjun came in. She was also followed by the general's wife, Princess Feng Yi, Yuan Zhonghua. Gao Yuanjun was in front, Yuan Zhonghua was behind, and he walked to Yuan Shan to kneel and bow down.
"Queen, get up." Yuan Shanjian walked down as he spoke, and helped Gao Yuanjun up with his own hands.
Yuan Zhonghua knelt on the ground and did not move. Because the emperor and her brother said "the queen rises", but did not say that she should also be flat. And Yuan Zhonghua was anxious that he didn't know why he didn't see her husband, the general Gao Cheng. Naturally, someone had already passed on the situation of the emperor's return to the palace to the queen, and she was present and heard it, and her heart became even more anxious, and she didn't know how her husband was now.
Gao Yuanjun was helped up by the emperor, and only then did he look up and see how embarrassed her husband was. Seeing the blood on her face, Yuan Shan was startled at first, and blurted out in surprise, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?!" ”
Yuan Zhonghua heard Gao Yuanjun's exclamation, so he had the heart to look up at her brother. Seeing that Yuan Shanjian not only had blood stains on his face, but also on the clothes on his body, his clothes were in tatters. Gao Yuanjun was surprised because he saw Yuan Shanjian injured with his own eyes, but Yuan Zhonghua was shocked because she suddenly thought that the bloodstain might be from her brother Yuan Shanjian, or it could be her husband Gao Cheng.
She suddenly remembered that outside the study in the mansion, she had overheard her husband talking about the emperor with Cui Jishu in private, and with that disdainful tone, she actually called him an idiot. Could it be that the two of them are really incompatible now? The queen saw her husband with her own eyes, she hadn't seen Gao Cheng yet, and she didn't know how her husband was injured.
"Don't worry, Queen." Yuan Shanjian smiled and took Gao Yuanjun's hand that touched his cheek. Gao Yuanjun saw that his jade-like skin was blue and purple in some places, and he was distressed. Yuan Shanjian felt so painful because Gao Yuanjun touched his face, so he held her hand and deliberately gentle. But in his heart, he hated and thought that Gao Chengzi actually dared to beat him back, and he was so ruthless.
"Let the concubine serve His Majesty to change his clothes, right?" Gao Yuanjun knew what was going on in his heart, but he didn't ask. Just now, the palace people spread the word, as smart as her, even if they couldn't believe that there was such a strange thing, but they could already know a rough idea in their hearts. After all, she still knows what kind of temper her eldest brother has.
"If Brother Ru is half as gentle as the queen, he will not be like this." Yuan Zen sighed. This is tantamount to clearly announcing that his injury came from Gao Cheng, and Gao Yuanjun couldn't pretend to be confused.
Yuan Zhonghua heard this, but he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart.
Yuan Shanjian seemed to have just seen his sister kneeling on the ground, and asked casually, "Why did you enter the palace?" ”
"Didn't Your Majesty send someone to take me into the palace and wait for the general?" Yuan Zhonghua looked up at the emperor, "May I ask Your Majesty, where is my husband?" ”
Yuan Shan leaned forward when he saw it, as if he was going to walk in front of Yuan Zhonghua, but Gao Yuanjun took the opportunity to help him and pressed the emperor's hand a little harder. Then seeing that Yuan Shanjian acquiesced to her obstruction, he persuaded, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is weak, please give your Majesty mercy." What she meant was to let Yuan Shan pardon Yuan Zhonghua.
No matter from which point of view, Gao Yuanjun understands that Yuan Shanjian and Yuan Zhonghua can't be dissatisfied. At this moment, if the two brothers and sisters have a conflict again, it will not be a conflict between the brother and sister. It was the contradiction between the emperor and the ministers, and the contradiction between the Yuan clan and the Gao clan. Although she doesn't necessarily have to protect her eldest brother, she must not let the emperor and the Gao clan conflict.
"Get up." Yuan Shanjian also slowly came back to his senses. Seeing that the queen asked the palace maid to quickly help the eldest princess up, she said, "The general and Gu moved and left." My sister hurried back to the house to have a look, but I was afraid that he had already gone back. "Actually, Yuan Shanjian knew that Gao Cheng was not in the mansion and went to Dongbai Hall, but he just wanted to send Yuan Zhonghua away quickly. There was still a small gap between them and the couple. If Yuan Zhonghua returned to the house and found that Gao Cheng was not in the mansion and went to Dongbai Hall, and then thought of Yuan Yuyi's dancing girl, I don't know what would happen.
Yuan Zhonghua was still surprised when he heard the emperor say that his husband had done it. After all, Gao Cheng is a courtier, which is already a big rebellion. But Yuan Zhonghua suddenly blessed his heart, and knelt down again and bowed, "The general is Your Majesty's sister-in-law, you shouldn't offend Your Majesty with humility, I will ask my brother for my husband." ”
Gao Yuanjun also persuaded, "Husband, why should the family be restrained in private? Our Xianbei tribe is already martial, and fighting is inevitable, Your Majesty is generous and virtuous, and will not worry about the general. ”
Yuan Shanjian was very angry in his heart, but he smiled on his face, "What the queen said is also true, King Gao must also treat Lone as a family." He looked at Yuan Zhonghua again, and finally walked over and helped his sister up with his own hands, "Presumably my sister is anxious, so let's go out of the palace and go home as soon as possible." ”
Yuan Zhonghua thanked him and withdrew.
In the Minghe Hall of Dongbai Hall, Gao Cheng was holding Yuan Yuyi and asking for it. Yuan Yuyi is also moved by him at this time, and she flatters him in every possible way to invite pampering. Because of this, Gao Cheng can wander without scruples, and he is almost at the peak of bliss.
Gao Cheng can ignore it when he is extremely happy, but after all, Yuan Yuyi heard him say just now that Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu and others will come to Dongbai Hall to wait for him, so he is inevitably a little worried and uneasy in his heart. For fear of being suddenly intruded, no one dares to point fingers at the general when it spreads, but if it is all talked about her, how much face she has to look at and how much criticism she will suffer.
"Childe ......" Yuan Yuyi was sweating, and when she got a gap, she rejected Gao Cheng, "Cui Zuocheng is coming." ”
What Yuan Yuyi is most afraid of is Cui Xian, the head of the Zuo Cheng Ministry. Chen Yuankang has always turned a blind eye to her; Cui Jishu has always been the lord of Lang, and I am good; Yang Su has the best attitude, and he thinks it is harmless; Only Cui Xian dared to advise the most, and even bluntly said to the general that the place where Dongbaitang discussed politics was not suitable for placing a dancing girl.
Listening to her delicate and weak voice, wheezing undecided, and worried about being knocked over, Gao Cheng's heart was even more excited, and he would never let her go. "It's none of your business." Gao Cheng replied to her in a hurry, hugged her tightly, and pressed her under him. Suddenly, I felt unbearable in my heart, and while doing my own thing, I comforted very gently, "Ji Lun is not allowed to enter the hall again in the future, even those guards are in the way, who dares to be rude here?" Only you and I are good. Saying that, he didn't know what was in his heart, and called out in his mouth, "Tanuki ......" suddenly felt itchy, hugged Yuan Yuyi tighter, and then worked hard and stopped talking.
When Yuan Yuyi heard him say that Cui Xian was not allowed to come in again, her heart was hot, thinking that he was doing it for herself. Later, when she heard him say that even the guards were in the way, she looked confident, and she suddenly felt ominous in her heart, and her heart was tight. But before he could think about it, he was brought to the top by Gao Cheng's self-conscious rhythm, he couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged him tightly, frowning completely out of control and calling, "Gao Lang, Gao Lang......"
Just when he was about to start, he suddenly heard a call from outside, "General, General, General......" was actually Cui Xian's voice. It seems that he did it on purpose, knowing what was going on inside, and daring to deliberately interfere. I'm afraid that no one else has the courage to do this except him.
Gao Cheng is nothing, Yuan Yuyi is almost gone. There is neither a tent to block this big bed, nor a quilt to cover, if Cui Xian really breaks in, he can see everything clearly. As soon as she was nervous, she hugged Gao Cheng tightly, and her whole body was about to stiffen.
Of course, Cui Xian didn't have the courage to break in, and only shouted a few loudly. Gao Cheng still finished what he wanted to do, hugged Yuan Yuyi, and commanded loudly outside, "See you in the greenhouse." He meant to let Cui Xian and the others wait for him in the greenhouse, and they were not allowed to enter the Minghe Hall. Now Yuan Yuyi was extremely grateful, and he was still considerate of her. She didn't have to get dressed and go out immediately, and then look at Cui Xian's resentful eyes.
"I'm wronged." Gao Cheng seemed to comfort her. He seemed to have just remembered in his heart that it was indeed inappropriate to place her here without a name or a role. Thinking that he had already gotten up, he didn't forget to cover the plain gauze skirt that Yuan Yuyi had taken off on her, knowing that she was temporarily unable to get up. But he still had important things to discuss with his henchmen, so he naturally walked away with a hundred times more energy.
Yuan Yuyi looked at his back as he walked out, and suddenly felt cold and empty around him. If one day he stopped caring for her, she would really lose everything.
Princess Feng Yi Yuan Zhonghua hurriedly left the palace and got into the car, and the sky was almost dark at this time. I waited for a few hours with fear and anticipation, but I didn't expect to see my husband and gentlemen. What happened to the emperor and his husband on the outskirts of Yecheng? No matter how domineering the husband is, he will not openly attack the emperor and the emperor, either the emperor really provokes him, or what is the reason for this.
The maid Ah Jiao actually followed her lady out of Renshou Palace, and she could see that her complexion was not beautiful. But Yuan Zhonghua didn't say anything, and he was bent on going back home as soon as possible. Ah Jiao didn't dare to ask anything along the way, and she didn't have a chance to ask anything. But when he returned to the General's Mansion, Yuan Zhonghua was disappointed, and his husband Gao Cheng didn't come back. The house is still deserted.
Yuan Zhonghua felt as if he had lost his energy all of a sudden, and he couldn't support it. Ah Jiao also saw that Madame was disappointed. Yuan Zhonghua entered his house without thinking about eating, and Ah Jiao saw the situation and ordered someone to serve his wife to change clothes. After a moment of chaos, the other slaves and maids were sent out, and she was the only one in the house to listen to it.
