Chapter 42: Stripping the Flesh and Bone
I don't know how long the sun has passed, and the sun has darkened. Even with the glass windows, the room could not withstand the darkness of the night.
The room was quiet, and Yuan Zhonghua was the only one waiting eagerly in a panic. Of course, it's not waiting for Gao Cheng to come again. She had a hunch that he would never come to her again.
She waited for him to come home. Even if it's just to meet him and ask him. If he told her in person, it might be very unkind, indifferent, and cruel, but she would have completely understood and completely died.
"Your Highness!" Suddenly, I heard A's voice.
I was so focused on my mind that I didn't know when Ah Jiao came in.
Ah Jiao supported the eldest princess to take the initiative to ask Lord Lang. Even if there is no princess yet, if nothing else, the princess is of course the princess. Yuan Zhonghua is still the housemother of the house. Lang mainly wants to set up a concubine room, and the main mother naturally has the power to manage this matter.
Yuan Zhonghua turned his head and saw Ah Jiao, and his heart was a little calmer.
"Lord Lang is back. As soon as I entered the house, I was coming to the inner house. Ah Jiao didn't know whether she was nervous or expectant, her voice trembled a little.
Hearing that her husband Gao Cheng was back, Yuan Zhonghua's heart suddenly beat faster. The emotions are indescribable. She was confused for a moment, and the question she had just thought of was all vague. Does she really need to do this? If this is really the case, why tear it apart bit by bit to see the real thing? may embarrass yourself even more.
What will you get? Back in time? Even if it is really regained, it is not in the past, so what's the point?
"Your Highness is the master mother, you can't be so weak." Ah Jiao also made up her mind. She knew that these words were a bit heavy on Yuan Zhonghua.
Without warning, Yuan Zhonghua stood up.
Auntie followed her and walked outside.
Gao Cheng had already passed through the heavy hall in front of him and entered the back house, and was walking towards the side where the concubines lived. Xiaoyu and Xiaoheng's biological mothers, as well as Kang Naning and Li Changyi, all live there. Even the place where the moonlight dwells is together.
I don't know where Gao Cheng wants to go. But apparently he had already made up his mind, and he didn't think about going to Yuan Zhonghua's residence at all.
Yuan Zhonghua saw the shadow of Gao Cheng walking in the corridor not far away, and walked in one direction without a doubt. She had guessed his intentions, and once again she felt that there was no point in her coming.
What is this? She just chased him and questioned him? It's humiliating to think about it.
Behind Yuan Zhonghua, Ah Jiao gently called "Lord Lang".
Gao Cheng in the corridor seemed to feel something, and immediately stopped looking.
In fact, A's voice is not loud.
Gao Cheng saw Yuan Zhonghua in the dim at a glance, and felt that she was so eye-catching in the dim, which made his eyes light up. He was so anxious to see Moonlight just now that he didn't see her at all.
There was a moment of silence between the two men. This moment was a thousand things in Gao Cheng's heart, but in Yuan Zhonghua's heart, it was like eternity.
Gao Cheng walked around from the corridor to find the exit, and Yuan Zhonghua finally came over to meet him despite all the difficulties in his heart.
"The concubine visits King Gao." Yuan Zhonghua's voice was a little floating.
She didn't like this title, which always made her wonder.
"Your Highness!" Gao Cheng helped her up.
"I haven't seen King Gao for a few days." Yuan Zhonghua was helped up by him, and sighed slightly.
"Something to say." Gao Cheng met her unexpectedly, but he was pleasantly surprised.
His gaze wandered left and right. It's like looking for a place for them to talk. Obviously, he didn't want to go to Yuan Zhonghua's house to sit down and talk to her. It seems that confidants like Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang need to find a place to discuss something.
Yuan Zhonghua's chest was stuffy and blocked. She didn't want to say anything anymore, and she couldn't tell that he was absent-minded.
Gao Cheng dragged her through the corridor to her study.
It is the quietest place in the study, and it is the quietest place in the entire Gaowang Mansion. No one would dare to come in casually.
Ah Jiao stayed outside the house and did not go in. There were only two people in the room, Gao Cheng and Yuan Zhonghua.
Gao Cheng was still a high-crowned Zhu Yi at this time, and he didn't have time to change his clothes, and he was in a hurry to see the moonlight. Yuan Zhonghua silently watched him sit down on the big bed, she was a little at a loss. Since she grew so big, they haven't been so distant from each other. It was a feeling of alienation that made her feel hopeless. That sense of distance wasn't something she could walk through if she wanted to.
"Won't Your Highness come and sit down?" Gao Cheng was exhausted today, his mouth was dry, and he sat on the big bed and didn't want to get up again. Pick up the tea that the slave maid who has just gone out and pour it in the green glaze cup and taste it slowly. He gradually discovered that it was a good way to relieve fatigue.
Yuan Zhonghua saw him bowing his head and drinking tea by himself, so she had to walk over slowly and sit down on the big bed. There was only a small low table between the two of them, and it seemed like this distance was out of reach.
Gao Cheng put down the teacup and raised his head, finding that Yuan Zhonghua was staring at him.
"Is there something wrong with Your Highness?" He thought it was strange.
"Don't you think there's something to tell me?" Yuan Zhonghua finally said what he wanted to ask the most. And before these words came out, she had no warning in her heart for such a scene, and she was startled.
Gao Cheng saw Yuan Zhonghua looking at him with watery eyes in the light.
"What does Your Highness want me to say?" Gao Cheng's expression was as gloomy as the sky.
For months, he was persecuted everywhere, and there was still this play waiting for him when he returned to his house.
"Why does the Yu Jiulu clan still live in the mansion?" Yuan Zhonghua simply said it to the most straightforward point. "King Gao and her ......" She really couldn't say the following words, and it was difficult to speak. She didn't finish speaking, but she understood what she meant.
Do you still need to ask about this? Gao Cheng was surprised. He didn't think she should ask about it.
"Your Highness questioned Ah Hui like this, do you think Ah Hui shouldn't leave her in the mansion?" Gao Cheng's rhetorical question was obviously that he felt that he should keep the moonlight. "Internal and external troubles are like this, if He Rouran turns his face ruthlessly, and the iron cavalry commander drives straight in, can His Royal Highness's brother go into battle to kill the enemy? Or can those kings of the clan calm down the external troubles? "When it comes to Yuan Shanjian and those sect Gao Cheng, I can't help but be angry." In addition to making a big incident within the Xiao Wall, I really don't know what else the Yuan Emperor can do? ”
However, his last sentence made Yuan Zhonghua misunderstand.
Gao Cheng had never said that to Yuan Zhonghua.
Yuan Zhonghua felt that those words were ostensibly talking about the emperor and the kings of the clan, but in fact they were talking about her.
How could he ever be so ruthless to her?
Yuan Zhonghua stood up suddenly.
Gao Cheng looked at her in surprise.
At this moment, she thought of the abolition of the princess in the turmoil, Gao Cheng's promise to her: never to have a concubine again. How ridiculous is that in retrospect?
At first, she struggled to refuse moonshine in order to keep her. didn't expect that there would finally be such a day, not only did he break his promise, but the person who made him break his promise was actually Moonlight.
Was he really as forced as he said he was?
Yuan Zhonghua smiled coldly silently. She smiled without any pretentiousness, just indifferent mockery.
"King Gao finally knows the usefulness of the Rouran Iron Horse?" Yuan Zhonghua asked rhetorically. Gao Cheng was still sitting on the big bed looking at her, and did not get up. "The Yuan clan has long been in decline, did King Gao only know about it today? Since King Gao is willing to do such an act like the emperor, don't blame me for underestimating you in my heart. At the beginning, King Gao could ask to marry me in order to win over the Yuan clan, and now he does not hesitate to destroy his reputation in order to please Rouran, which is really not strange. I don't have anything to say. ”
She didn't accept her fate, but what could she do? I should have known this was the result.
Gao Cheng was so angry that his face turned blue, and a pair of green eyes stared at Yuan Zhonghua gloomily and coldly. He was just half angry today by Hou Jingnatong's nonsense, and now he was reprimanded by Yuan Zhonghua for no reason. Hou Jing is deliberately making waves, and Yuan Zhonghua really doesn't understand him at all?
Hou Jing's letter was sent to Yuan Shanjian, and the palace still didn't know what the scene was. Although I know that I can't make big waves, and I can't do what Hou Jing wants, but after all, I was calculated, and I feel all kinds of resentment in my heart, but I can't come out, let alone be depressed. If his father King Gao was alive, Hou Jing'an would dare to do this?
Yuan Zhonghua was raised by him since he was a child, and now he dares to fight him like this? If you can't get it for a while, is there anything else to go?
Gao Cheng's temples jumped and jumped, almost jumping around Venus in front of him. He endured and endured, and finally endured.
stood up and stopped in front of Yuan Zhonghua. used all his strength to endure and persuade, "Your Highness is the main mother, she is just a concubine, she has no intention of replacing Your Highness, why does Your Highness have to be so careful?" ”
Yuan Zhonghua looked up at him. Under the light, it was clear that Gao Cheng was already jumping with green tendons on his forehead. So who is he for? He clearly said that his heart was already on the side of the moonlight, and he was speaking for the moonlight. The tone shows that he is only one with "her". And she was standing across from them.
The word "she" tasted very different when he pronounced it in his mouth.
"Has King Gao really figured it out? Rouran has always been insatiable, how can she be satisfied with the position of concubine? If there is another thing at that time, the concubine really can't afford it. King Gao might as well give her the position of concubine now. No need to bother. Yuan Zhonghua's heart was completely relaxed this time. Just don't want anything. If you let go, you will no longer suffer from gains and losses.
Gao Cheng reluctantly grabbed Yuan Zhonghua's forearm, his chest was heaving and panting, and Yuan Zhonghua was pulled by him and staggered to the point that he didn't want to go. She was also stunned, she had never seen Gao Cheng so angry with her.
"In His Highness's heart, is Ah Hui such a person? His Royal Highness didn't want to be considerate of Ah Hui at all, he just wanted to reprimand? Gao Cheng's voice grew higher.
In Yuan Zhonghua's eyes, he is such a fly chasing stinky people?
Yuan Zhonghua's arm was pinched by him very painfully, as if it was about to be broken.
Ah Jiao, who was standing outside the house, heard that Lord Lang was furious inside, and she was so anxious that she didn't dare to move.
Even Liu Taozhi, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, heard Gao Cheng's roar and subconsciously looked over.
These days, Liu Taozhi is also extremely unhappy. felt that Hou Jing could hold him hostage when he was in Yecheng, so why did he let him escape back to Yuzhou?
In the room, Gao Cheng was still pinching Yuan Zhonghua's arm hard. "Your Highness guessed right, I have long been interested in her, and since Your Highness has already questioned me today, don't embarrass her again. If there is something wrong with this, it is all mine, and it has nothing to do with her. It's because I want to keep her, and I can't be at ease when I don't see her. I forced her to stay. Her Royal Highness cares about the name of the concubine, she may not care. If Your Highness minds her so much that she will be my concubine, it will be as I wish. I can't bear to let her live in a concubine's room. I enshrine the title of princess to Your Highness, so that your brother and the clan can rest assured. Your Highness, don't mind my business. From now on, His Highness and I will be in peace. ”
After speaking, Gao Cheng shook off Yuan Zhonghua and walked outside.
He was desperate to find a place where he could really calm down and relax, he was too tired.
Yuan Zhonghua was thrown hard by him, his body fell to the ground, and he saw Gao Cheng's back disappear. Only the pain in her arm reminded her of what had just happened.
I couldn't believe that what I had just said was true. Gao Cheng said this by himself, and there was no chance to pretend not to know. It was he who really changed his mind.
Unlike before, he had never been so ruthless to her.
I don't know how this happened, how I got to this place all of a sudden. In short, everything has changed.
Yuan Zhonghua's chest was stuffy and painful, but there was not a single tear.
At this time, Ah Jiao came in, saw the scene in front of her, and didn't know what to persuade again. She thought the same thing as Yuan Zhonghua, and she also felt that Lord Lang had really changed his mind. If it weren't for the real change of mind, the two would not be judged like this.
Yuan Zhonghua pushed Ah Jiao away and slowly stood up.
The courtyard where Moonlight lived was very inconspicuous. I have to say that Gao Cheng was trying to hide people's eyes and ears at the beginning. Moonlight didn't like it before, didn't like it to be shabby, and didn't like to mix it up with his concubines. Now she doesn't ask for it, and even refuses Gao Cheng's suggestion to change her residence.
From the beginning of Princess Gao, to the later unclear, to the current ignorance of everything, the moonlight has completely coped with the new Gao Wangfu and does whatever she wants.
One day at night, the servants and concubines in the mansion saw the new favorite of the new successor to the throne, Princess Rouran, looking for pleasure everywhere. At first, everyone was speechless, but now everyone takes it for granted.
The entire Gao Wangfu was disturbed by this alien princess. She never cared about where the front hall was and where the back house was, and she always went wherever she wanted. Do whatever you want. More casual than the eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua.
Fortunately, he was measured, knowing that the king's study was a forbidden place, but he never went there.
Although Princess Rouran has no wives or concubines in the Gao Wangfu, she has become the most eye-catching person.
There are always some people who gloat in secret. Especially the concubines. In the past, the concubines were favored, and the concubines did not dare to complain in their hearts. Now that this princess Rouran has stolen the limelight, the concubines are happy to watch the excitement to vent their anger.
The gate of the courtyard where Moonlight lived was closed, and there were several soft slaves and maids standing at the door, all with tense faces and looking like they didn't know the rules.
Gao Cheng came out of the study, full of anger, he didn't want to go anywhere, so he subconsciously followed the path he was used to and came here.
A few Rouran slaves and maids did not lower their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes like the slaves and maids in the house, but they all raised their heads and ignored Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng stopped when he saw this situation. He suddenly remembered something in his heart, and looked at the slaves thoughtfully.
I had exhausted my appetite and didn't even want to go in. The anxiety in my heart rose again. Is he really going nowhere?
At this time, the courtyard door opened, and a curling woman came out, who was a slave and parrot from the former Gao Wangfu. Because he can speak Chinese, Xianbei and Rouran, he is clever and clever, and he is deeply liked by Moonlight.
Of course, the parrot can't turn a blind eye and let the lord go. Reprimanded a few slaves and maids in soft language for not understanding the rules. said that it was a reprimand, but it was also soft. This kind of soft and slow speech calmed Gao Cheng's heart. The last thing he wanted to see right now was an atmosphere of arrow-pulling.
The parrot came up to salute and said with a smile, "Lord Lang, the princess is thinking about Lord Lang." She glanced at the clumsy slaves and maids who came to give the salute, and said with a smile, "These slaves and maids can't speak, and the princess told them to wait here for the lord to come back so that he can welcome the lord in." ”
Gao Cheng ironed in his heart.
The lighting in the yard is warm and soft, and it is easy to relax between the senses.
The parrot, who is good at observing words and colors, is extremely flattering and considerate, which makes Gao Cheng unconsciously dissipate the fatigue that cannot be dissipated in his heart.
He couldn't wait to see the moonlight soon.
Tao Rui, who listened carefully to the movement outside the door inside the house, heard it clearly, and hurried to return to the moonlight. (To be continued.) )
