Chapter 44: Dissecting the Heart
Gao Cheng lay quietly on his side, still holding Yuan Zhonghua in his arms. The new domain name of this site, the first letter of the Cole Novel Network (k1xs), the largest free romance Chinese website, hurry up. He held her softly, loosely. If two people are separated. All the passions are now gone.
Yuan Zhonghua felt Gao Cheng's arm at her waist, and his arm made her feel both solid and powerful, but also slightly heavy. She cherished this feeling that she had never cherished, and longed for a little more time at this moment.
The silence between the two was just right for her. She was afraid that when he opened his mouth, it would hurt her heart. But at the same time, she knew in her heart that it was time for her to get out of here.
The sky is already dark. This is not her residence, and there is always a feeling of unsteadiness in her heart. It seems that what she has now is something that does not belong to her, and she is afraid of being spied on.
How many things in her heart wanted to say to him. But it's no longer appropriate to say. It would be pale and futile for her to say anything more. She was willing to speak, but he might not be willing to listen.
Yuan Zhonghua didn't say a word, just took the initiative to stick into Gao Cheng's arms and hugged him tightly. I desperately bit my lip and didn't make a sound, otherwise I would have been crying silently and difficult to control. But the tears can't be stopped no matter what.
Because she tried hard to control her emotions and suppress her voice, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Gao Cheng's chest was quickly wet with hot tears. How much I wanted to say was reluctantly suppressed by myself. The pain in my throat was unbearable, like a mess.
In fact, that's it, I suppressed how many words, and I didn't want to say it so much at this time.
Gao Cheng closed his eyes as if he was asleep, only his brows were still frowning slightly in his sleep, as if he couldn't forget something difficult in his dreams. He let Yuan Zhonghua silently express his emotions.
Yuan Zhonghua endured the knife-like pain in his heart and slowly left Gao Cheng's arms. Gao Cheng's hand was not deliberately held. Looking back at him, it was still as if he was in a dream. If she could return to eternity at this time, she would be willing to give everything.
looked at him silently for a moment, only to call "Ah Hui" again in his heart, and then he couldn't stop crying, got up and left with his clothes on.
From this moment on, she was already physically and mentally dead. How can a person live again if he is dissected?
Ah Jiao waited outside for half the night, in addition to being full of anticipation, one moment nervous, and the other sad. Suddenly, the eldest princess came out, and saw that there was no movement inside, so he asked, "Your Highness, where is the king?" ”
Yuan Zhonghua replied as he walked outside, "He didn't wake up from his sleep." "Not a word else. She resolutely left, never looking back again, without the slightest hesitation.
In the courtyard over there, Moonlight couldn't sleep while lying down, so she simply got up early to take a shower and make up. Then I went out of my yard to find Gao Cheng.
In the end, it was Taorui who knew her thoughts, and followed up and whispered back that the king was in the study and did not go to the eldest princess. She had quietly ordered someone to hear clearly.
Moonlight didn't say anything, and went to the study.
Just as he approached, he saw Yuan Zhonghua and Ah Jiao following behind him coming out of the inside and hiding the door. Although Yuan Zhonghua looked neatly dressed, his hair was disheveled.
Yueguang immediately understood everything in her heart, and immediately became angry, thinking that Gao Cheng had come to have a private meeting with Yuan Zhonghua without her. No matter what happened before, now she has devoted herself to Gao Cheng, although she doesn't care about any status, but she can't bear him to be with others anymore.
Tao Rui could see that the princess was unhappy, and she was afraid that she would also lose her temper like Princess Luoying, but she felt that Princess Moonlight was not the same as her sister, and she should not be so grumpy and bad.
When the moonlight turned around and walked to the door again, he found that the blue-headed slave Liu Taozhi didn't know when he came, and was guarding the door.
Liu Taozhi just stopped the moonlight. There was no one else in his eyes except Gao Cheng, no matter what Princess Rouran was, he confessed expressionlessly, "King Gao is asleep in it and has not woken up." ”
Hearing the words "asleep but not waking up", Moonlight became even more angry. Of course I know that he is in it, and I don't know that I won't come. She didn't take Liu Taozhi in her eyes at all, so she pushed Liu Taozhi away and pushed the door into the yard.
Liu Taozhi had the orders of Lord Lang, and no one was allowed to enter this courtyard except for the eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua, and of course the moonlight could not be put in. But he didn't expect that the princess was a foreigner, and she didn't have so many family rules, so she would do it to him.
By the time he reacted, the moonlight had already gone in. He was about to chase, but Tao Rui stopped in front of him again and said with a smile, "The little slave also has to take care of Master Lang's affairs?" If Lord Lang woke up and knew that the slave was not allowed to enter the princess, wouldn't he be angry? She knew that Liu Taozhi would not move with a woman, so she deliberately stopped at the door and did not move.
The parrot stood to the side, smiling motionlessly.
Liu Taozhi was anxious and angry, but he didn't dare to start.
Yuan Zhonghua hurried back to his courtyard without stopping. It wasn't until I entered the room and sat on the big bed that my whole body almost collapsed.
It was early in the morning, and the room was quiet.
Ah Jiao looked sad at her, and although the tears on her face were dry, she was particularly haggard. Without speaking, he took a wooden comb and untied her hair and combed her hair carefully.
Ah Jiao found that there was only one Jin Jue hairpin left on Yuan Zhonghua's head, and he only took it off and put it on a few cases and still combed his hair, thinking that it must have been lost in the study, so it was inconvenient to ask more questions at this time.
After a long while, Yuan Zhonghua's hair was straightened out, and he put down the comb before asking softly, "Your Highness should tell the king all the grievances in your heart." In any case, the king is also different from others to His Royal Highness. ”
Yuan Zhonghua picked up the dotted emerald golden jue hairpin and looked at it carefully. I also remembered that one was lost in the study. She didn't want to get it back. This thing was originally in pairs, and if it was really divided into two hands, it would be a slight mockery. Isn't that what it is?
"It's come to this, what else is there to say." Yuan Zhonghua has long stopped thinking about this. Her mind was not here at all at this time, and she had a feeling of not knowing where to go, and even her spirit was in a trance.
"How do you know if Your Highness doesn't try?" Ah Cheng couldn't believe that Gao Cheng was really so ruthless. sighed in his heart, no matter what, he didn't expect Gao Cheng to turn his mind to Princess Rouran, Yu Jiulu. "Your Highness has never been willing to give in to the king in the past, but if His Highness asks for the slightest word, the king will definitely not abandon His Highness."
Yuan Zhonghua's biggest problem is this, he never shows weakness.
"No, no." Yuan Zhonghua shook his head. She would never have done such a thing. Besides, if the mind is absent, this must not be something that can be begged to come back.
"His Highness's hairpin is still there, and he should at least get it back. Otherwise, it was seen by people with ulterior motives, and I don't know what ugly words to say to His Highness. Ah Jiao changed her mind.
Yuan Zhonghua didn't speak, but it was obvious that this moved her more than the reason just now. It is estimated that she is designed to seek favor.
Moonlight didn't care about the scene outside, knowing that someone would take care of everything for her. She just went into the house and came to Gao Cheng. happened to see Gao Cheng lying on the big bed.
Gao Cheng opened his eyes when he heard the sound and saw the moonlight walking in. Moonlight moved quickly, and had already walked to the side of the big bed, and then came up and sat down. Gao Cheng simply lay down and did not move.
Moonlight turned a blind eye to Gao Cheng's nakedness. Gao Cheng didn't think he should hide it. He didn't think that because of the moonlight, he should have nothing to do with other wives and concubines.
Before Gao Cheng could speak, Moonlight jumped up and rode on top of him. "The king left in the middle of the night, leaving me alone, how should I punish you?" It was a half-truth, and she smiled again. looked at Gao Cheng with such bright eyes, but swept away the heaviness in Gao Cheng's heart.
"Today's discussion in Dongbai Hall, I will definitely come back in the evening, depending on how the princess punishes Zihui." He held her by the waist.
Yueguang was still smiling just now, but now she suddenly smiled, stroked Gao Cheng's chest with her hand, and said unbearably, "The king works so hard every day, it really makes the concubine unbearable." ”
"How will the princess appease me?" Gao Cheng looked up at her, and asked with evil in his green eyes.
There was a golden step in the Wangxian bun on the moonlight head, and the tassels on it hung down on the sideburns as she lowered her head. The gold tassel swayed gently with her movements, not to mention how charming it was. The Han dress of goose yellow and lily she wears makes her particularly fresh and beautiful. The purple Luo skirt was extraordinarily large, draped down on Gao Cheng's body.
"The king knows that my father originally wanted to marry me to Chang'an." The moonlight came down from Gao Cheng and sat down on the big bed.
Gao Cheng also got up and dressed. He didn't know how Moonlight talked about it, but he happened to be interested in it at this time.
Moonlight glanced at him unintentionally, and happened to see several long scars on his back. Moonlight recognized the nail at a glance, but she pretended not to see anything.
"Why didn't you go after that?" Gao Cheng had already put on his middle coat, sat opposite Moonlight on the big bed, and asked with great interest.
"I've been to Chang'an and met Emperor Xiaowu." Moonlight retorted to him.
This is something that Gao Cheng doesn't know. Surprised, he said, "Your brother originally wanted to marry you to him?" He originally thought it was an ingots torch.
I haven't remembered Yuan Xiu for a long time. I remember a lot of things, as far away as the early morning of the Yongning Temple in Luoyang before the next world. The one who hurt his heart the most was the long-deceased sister, Empress Yongxi Gao Changjun.
Gao Cheng was silent, his mind had already flown away. If he doesn't grasp the present, maybe the end in the future will not be as good as Yuan Xiu. He also had fear in his heart. Since wearing a heavy crown on his head, his heart has also become restless.
"Although Emperor Xiaowu is unpopular, he is only sincere to Zuo Zhaoyi. In the end, he also died for Zuo Zhaoyi. "Moonlight remembers this past and touches the shadow in my heart. She clearly remembered Yuan Xiu's appearance at that time.
"Is he unwilling to ask to marry you?" Gao Cheng was not surprised at all. In his heart, he looked down on Yuan Xiu.
"Emperor Xiaowu asked me not to go to Chang'an and not to marry into the emperor's family." Moonlight suddenly wept. She didn't howl, she didn't sob, her watery eyes only dropped a few tears, like pearls rolling down her cheeks. It's already pitiful, but it doesn't spoil the mood and make people offensive.
"It's a good thing he won't ask to marry you." Gao Cheng took Moonlight's hand and smiled.
Moonlight also burst into tears and quickly put away her tears. She also clenched Gao Cheng's hand and called softly, "Zihui." ”
She didn't seem to take him seriously, and she never forced it. Always stay if you agree, and go if you don't. I don't seem to care about him. But he seems to care very much, and he doesn't want him to be with other wives and concubines, and he can't see each other. She can be arrogant and domineering for this, and she just wants to monopolize him alone. And she felt that he could only have him alone in his heart.
"If the emperor is really good to Zuo Zhaoyi, he shouldn't put her in danger." Gao Cheng's hand wrapped Moonlight's hand in his palm strongly and warmly, making Moonlight feel extra steady. "Why does he have to go to Guanzhong? Asking for one's own death and resenting others. ”
Gao Cheng's heart was already vague about Yuan Mingyue, and he could hardly remember her appearance.
"Is it dangerous to keep her around?" Moonlight asked unconvinced.
Gao Cheng didn't speak.
Two people suddenly realize a problem at the same time. Yuan Xiu and Yuan Mingyue are just cousins. The two of them used to be "mother and son" before.
Gao Cheng's face darkened.
Moonlight straightened up and rubbed over, she reached out to hold Gao Cheng's face, looked carefully, and felt that he was so beautiful that she was about to lose control.
Moonlight suddenly smiled.
Encountering such a serious problem, what Gao Cheng felt in others was either a stressful confrontation or a show of weakness by pear blossoms with rain, only the moonlight could be so lightweight, and suddenly the dark clouds in his heart were removed.
"The so-called etiquette that the Han people talk about is not what those pedantic Confucian students say, right? If the king really kept those courtesies and refused to marry me, causing Dawei and Rouran to cause a military disaster, and finally the family and country were damaged, would it be considered a ceremony? Those are people who have no insight and no heart. Moonlight said disdainfully.
Not to mention women, but those men, who dare to say such things about the courtiers who talk about the world in the temple? Who can see so clearly? Even if you think it's the truth, you don't dare to say it.
Even Gao Cheng suddenly heard it. Do things and follow the power and know how to be flexible, which of those Confucian scholars really knows how to govern the country? But it's just talking.
The moonlight was different from others, so she kept her eyes on Gao Cheng's green eyes. Gently caressing his cheeks with both hands, he suddenly became excited, and laughed in a low voice, "I don't care what my name is, Zihui is only allowed to have me alone in his heart, and Zihui is not allowed to be with others." ”
Thinking of the scene he had with Yuan Zhonghua when she first saw him, and then thinking that now that he was hers, Moonlight had already felt that she had gained a lot and was very satisfied.
"The concubine is right to Lang Jun, and Lang Jun can't live up to the concubine." Moonlight took the initiative to lower her head and gently touch Gao Cheng's lips.
Hearing that there was only one person in her heart, Gao Cheng suddenly felt pierced. He avoided the topic and made no commitments. Putting the moonlight in his arms, he let her do whatever she wanted, and only whispered in her ear, "Zihui will never let down the princess." ”
When Yuan Zhonghua was about to walk to the study, he was already remorseful. But since you have already arrived, there is no reason to return immediately. Fortunately, it was just dawn and it was very quiet. Gao Cheng must have returned to the moonlight, and she just retrieved the golden jue hairpin and went back immediately.
But before I got closer, I saw Liu Taozhi at the door, as well as Taorui. Although Yuan Zhonghua didn't know Taorui, he knew that she was the slave of the moonlight. There was also a parrot standing on one side, a former slave and maid of the High King's Mansion that she knew.
From this, you can guess that the moonlight must be in the study.
Yuan Zhonghua's chest was hit hard, and there was a dull pain. She couldn't allow herself to go any further.
Ah Jiao also saw it, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
However, Yuan Zhonghua was not allowed to leave again, and the door was already open. Gao Cheng and Moonlight walked out of it together.
When Gao Cheng and Moonlight spoke, their expressions were extremely soft and gentle, and there was no one else in their eyes except Moonlight.
The moonlight is also exceptionally soft and compliant, completely different from the usual domineering and unbridled indulgence.
Yuan Zhonghua immediately turned around and wanted to leave, regretting that he came back to find the hairpin. This was originally something that could have been done by sending a woman or another slave. It was because I wanted to see Gao Cheng too much that I was persuaded by Ah Cheng to come to find the hairpin by myself. I didn't expect the moonlight to stick so quickly.
What she can't do, others can do very naturally.
Moonlight pulled Gao Cheng and pointed into the distance, and said in surprise, "Why is the eldest princess there?" ”
Gao Cheng looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, the back of a lotus-colored shirt and jade-colored skirt was Yuan Zhonghua. It seems that he came here after combing his hair and changing his clothes.
Gao Cheng watched Yuan Zhonghua's shadow disappear, didn't mention her again, only said a few words to Yueguang and went to Yueguang to wash and dress, and then went out of the house.
