Chapter 28: Flowers Float Freely (Part I)
The emperor drove back to the palace, and Yuan Xiu immediately entered the palace garden. By the time he arrived at Cuiyun Pavilion, the cloudy and uncertain days had passed. The outside of Luoyang City was also full of golden light, and the green between heaven and earth was so faint that it was almost completely impossible to see at this time. Under the heavy haze, the Wei Palace devoured everything alive in the dark night that had come, and became even more gloomy and lifeless.
Yuan Xiu jumped onto the pedestal of Cuiyun Pavilion with a vigorous posture, and broke in without hesitating to kick open the door of the palace. Who knew that it almost crashed into the queen Gao Changjun who heard the voice and was about to come out. He stopped suddenly, and almost stuck to Gao Changjun. Both men were still. Yuan Xiu looked down at Gao Changjun, his eyes were moody, looking at Gao Changjun in grand clothes and thoughtful manners, he looked up at him without hesitation. Her eyes were as clear as a fountain, and there was no dodging at all. Yuan Xiu was still wearing the hakama of hunting, and his messy braided hair was flying. got rid of the complicated costume of the Son of Heaven, and the uninhibited uninhibition of the humble man on his body was completely released.
Gao Changjun is about to make a big ceremony, and the ceremony cannot be abolished, and she should be an example as the queen. As soon as she squatted down, Yuan Xiu had already grabbed her left arm and lifted her up again. Gao Changjun only felt extreme pain in his left arm, and the pain was so painful that tears filled his eyes.
"Why?" Yuan Xiu couldn't help but ask. The chest turned a hundred times a thousand times, maybe he was not blaming Gao Changjun, but Yuan Xiu broke out at this time.
"Your Majesty?!" Gao Changjun felt a little lost in his heart. Although he couldn't say that she was not responsible, he refused to listen to her explain what had happened.
Chang Jun is arrogant. If you don't ask, I don't have to say. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes, but she still didn't shy away, but her eyes were extremely open. Ren Yuan Xiu was still holding her left arm tightly.
Yuan Xiu was extremely dissatisfied when he saw that she was so stubborn, and all he was hooked up in his heart was her father's obstinate appearance. I love her stubbornness very much. But she was so cruel to his heirs, and as determined as her father. This touched a deep pain in his heart.
Let go of your hand and stop looking at her. He only coldly commanded, "From today onwards, I will move to Cuiyun Pavilion alone." The princess of the plain will be the new lord of this Cuiyun Pavilion in the future, and if there is an unrespected person in the harem, she will be severely punished. Then he went inside. Only Gao Changjun was left motionless, reminiscing about what he had just said.
The night truly fell, and the huge Wei Palace was immersed in darkness. The whole of Luoyang also fell into darkness.
Mrs. Lou was unwilling to stay in the Buddhist temple, so she deliberately rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Princess Feng Yi and Yuan Zhonghua also returned home with Mrs. Lou. When I returned to the courtyard where I lived, I felt a little strange at first. I can't say what's strange, but I just don't think it's right.
Call out "Ahma".
A figure under the verandah outside the house came in a hurry, it was Ah Jiao. Only then did I find out that it was because it was too dark, pitch black, and there was no light, so I felt strange.
"Why don't you hold the lamp?" Yuan Zhonghua asked as he walked towards the house where he lived.
"Princess......" Ah Jiao followed her closely, as if she had something to say.
"I'm tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Yuan Zhonghua interrupted Ah Jiao and pushed the door open. "Hurry up and light the lights." She turned back to the aunt who was following her, and said, "Where are all the people?" "Yes, there is no one to serve except Ah Jiao.
"Yes." Ah Jiao agreed, and carefully lit the lamp, "Rest in peace, princess." So saying, he turned and walked out.
"You ......" Yuan Zhonghua felt even more strange, and when he turned to look again, Ah Jiao had already withdrawn and closed the door.
When she turned around again, she suddenly noticed a person sitting on a chair not far in front of her. Frightened, he couldn't help but take a step back, staggered and crooked, subconsciously reached out to hold something, and at the same time exclaimed, "Who?" The man who was sitting was quick, jumped to his feet, strode up, and held her by the hand. She stepped back, and he bullied him, Yuan Zhonghua's back was already against the door, and the man held her slender shoulders with both hands.
"Don't you know your husband?" Gao Cheng asked with a gloomy face. Listening to the voice, he was full of displeasure and with a kind of majesty.
Husband? Yuan Zhonghua was stunned and asked himself. Only then did she remember that she was married to the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise why would she be here? She is indeed married to the eldest son of the prime minister, the prince of Bohai and Gao Cheng in the servant, she really has a husband.
"Remembered?" Gao Cheng asked dissatisfiedly. Even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, she won't forget about him. Thinking of seeing Yuan Zhonghua and Gao Yang whispering side by side at the gate of the mansion today, he couldn't help but feel angry again. That scene of a childhood sweetheart really pierced him in the heart. thinks that he is the master, and Gao Yang will be just his house slave in the future, so he dares to betray the master like this.
Yuan Zhonghua looked at her husband carefully, whether he was angry or majestic, he didn't seem to feel anything in her heart. Why should she be afraid of him? Even though he had his back to the light, Gao Cheng's beautiful appearance still made her feel really pleasing to the eye. Walking along with the memories, I really remembered that a long time ago, on the day he left the Prime Minister's Mansion and decided to go to Jiankang, he really had beaten her. I just remember that it hurts.
Yuan Zhonghua was suddenly afraid, and suddenly became timid in his eyes, not daring to look at the beautiful green eyes that stared at her, and quickly lowered his head.
"What your husband said, you dare not take it to heart. Have you forgotten the punishment you have imposed? Gao Cheng asked in a low voice.
"Nope." Yuan Zhonghua's voice was small.
"Does it hurt?" Gao Cheng asked again.
"It hurts." Yuan Zhonghua's voice was even quieter. Suddenly, he added, "I didn't know that my husband was back." ”
"Don't know?" Gao Cheng was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it. State affairs, family affairs, even the emperor of the Wei Palace, the parents in the court, and the hundreds of officials in the court...... No one has yet made him feel so helpless. This is his wife, the princess? It's really a sentence that can him off to death. "Everyone in the government knows about it, and everyone in the court and China knows about it, but you don't know it. Have you ever had your husband in mind? Before the husband left, he told you very much that you were not allowed to live very closely with the house slaves. As soon as your husband leaves, you immediately forget about it. The more Gao Cheng spoke, the more angry he became, and asked, "Say, what did you tell him at the gate of the mansion today?" ”
"No......" Yuan Zhonghua wanted to break free, but she couldn't resist the incomparably powerful Gao Cheng. It's just telling me to be careful, take good care of my grandmother, and come back early if I have nothing to do. ”
"What does this have to do with him? You are my wife. Gao Cheng said angrily. When he said this, he suddenly stopped. Somehow, I remembered the scene when Xiao Qiongju said goodbye by the river.
"What husband? You go to Jiankang, don't come back. Yuan Zhonghua suddenly broke free while his mind was flying, and took the opportunity to run out of the door.
Gao Cheng suddenly felt that the anger in his heart had disappeared. For a moment, it seemed that he didn't care about anything. After a moment of silence, he called out, "Ahh ”
When Ah Jiao came, she saw Shizi sitting on a chair, his elbows propped on the table next to him, and his hands touching his forehead, as if he was asleep. and did not dare to be alarmed.
Hearing the sound of her coming in, Gao Cheng didn't move, but only ordered, "Mrs. Serve come back and rest." I went to the study. ”
How slow the night in the Wei Palace was. Yuan Xiu was almost completely sleepless. When I was quiet, I was in turmoil. Gao Huan is arrogant, Hou Jing is treacherous, and He Bayue Mingzhe protects himself...... There is also this Yuwentai of unknown origin. He had high hopes, but he didn't know whether he was friend or foe. The few important ministers around him can't be united, let alone this Yuwentai who came from the west. Yuan Baoju, Wang Sizheng, Hu Sichun, Yuan Bi, one person has one idea, and no one is willing to obey anyone. Didn't he know in his heart? Who really thinks about the Son of Heaven? Really for him, Yuan Xiu.
He subconsciously glanced at Yuan Mingyue, the princess of the plains, who had been asleep and had not woken up. He knew in his heart that she was the only one. It doesn't matter if he is the Son of Heaven, or the former King of Pingyang, or he is just Yuan Xiu, not someone else. is obsessed with him, only thinking about him, only the former Yuan Mingyue. It's just that I don't know if the current Yuan Mingyue is still as obsessed with him as before.
The change began when Gao Cheng's sister Gao Changjun entered the palace as the queen. When Gao Cheng wanted to seize Yuan Mingyue, he was resentful and jealous. However, as soon as his sister Gao Changjun entered the palace, she easily snatched the whole heart that was originally on Yuan Mingyue's body into her hands. It's just that she is as arrogant as her father, Gao Huan, the prime minister, Gao Changjun is the incarnation of his father Gao Huan in the palace, so that he can't get rid of the shadow of control from time to time.
Yuan Xiu subconsciously stood up and walked to the couch and looked at Yuan Mingyue, who was quiet and sleeping. At this moment, Yuan Mingyue looked extremely weak, and he had just lost his son, which made him feel infinite pity in his heart. What's more, it was his son who died young. I've been waiting for so long, and I've been waiting for such a result. Why is this happening.
The electric light stone light is like being in a dream, and the heart is dull and painful. Yes, he is already on Gao Changjun and can't take it back. But what about Gao Changjun? If she is like him in her heart, how can she cause him to lose his son? As if he suddenly saw the night road clearly in the lightning, Yuan Xiu couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and walked out of Cuiyun Pavilion. The palace attendants waited to see the emperor leave suddenly, looking at each other, and they didn't know what to do. Yuan Xiu had already strode towards the Jiaofang Palace.
In the darkest early hours before dawn, what about Yuan Xiu who didn't sleep all night in the Wei Palace? The candle flame was shining, and Gao Changjun sat motionless in front of the dressing table in the Jiaofang Hall for a long, long time.
