"Your Highness......" Yang Shunhua walked over step by step.

Xiao Qiongju could hear that her voice was not as resolute and calm as before, not as calm as usual, as if there was no temperature. suddenly remembered that when Chang'an was in distress, it was Yang Shunhua who risked her life to block her and prevent her from coming out.

It was that time that she saved her life in the house, but outside it was Gao Cheng who also risked her life to block Yang Shunhua. Gao Cheng was seriously injured because of this, and it was from that time that she understood everything in her heart. It's just that they have never talked about Gao Cheng together, maybe it's because they miss each other, and they don't want each other to know that they miss the same person.

Yang Shunhua walked up to Xiao Qiongju and knelt down. Xiao Qiongju, who was kneeling opposite her, suddenly straightened up in resistance. The two men confronted each other.

The clever and clever slaves and maidservants silently withdrew.

"Shouldn't I order someone to clean up my sister's things?" Xiao Qiongju stared at Yang Shunhua and asked. Her eyes and tone were so complicated that it was hard to discern what was going on in her heart.

This is not hatred or joy, but also joy and hatred, in fact, Yang Shunhua understands.

"Where does Your Highness want me to go?" Yang Shunhua also looked at Xiao Qiongju frankly, not dodging at all.

Xiao Qiongju didn't speak, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

Yang Shunhua still looked at her.

"Where I can't go, it's okay for my sister to go." Xiao Qiongju turned her head sideways, her voice was full of sadness, which was unbearable to listen to.

"The place where Your Highness wants to go is not where I want to go, I just want to be by His Highness's side." Yang Shunhua replied lightly.

"I can't get there even with all my might, my sister is already in it, why don't you want to?" Xiao Qiongju still didn't turn her head and didn't look at Yang Shunhua, her voice was slightly choked.

"It's because I'm in it that I know that Liang Yuan is not an old village, so it's okay not to go." Yang Shunhua's voice also trembled slightly.

Xiao Qiongju finally turned her head slowly.

It's not all night. It wasn't until the drunken stream where the general Gao Cheng lived closed the door and was quiet that the palace lights outside were extinguished. Except for the sound and feather where Hou Jing lived, almost all of them fell into the tranquility of the night.

Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, had no intention of leaving at all, he hated to grow up in Dutingyi by himself. In fact, he is very close to Hou Jing in his heart. After knowing each other for a long time, he himself went from the Southern Dynasty to the Northern Dynasty and then returned to the South, and he was exiled several times. His so-called "father" Emperor Liang really can't be said to be mean and unkind to him. It's just that Xiao Zhengde himself always feels that he is too wronged.

"Your Highness! Big brother! Hou Jing'an sat down on the comfortable big bed, leaned on a few sides, and called a few times to Xiao Zhengde, who was still looking at himself by the window.

Xiao Zhengde turned around, and Hou Jing motioned for him to come over and sit down. Xiao Zhengde turned his head and glanced out the window again, and sure enough, he saw that Drunken Liuyu didn't move anymore, so he came over and sat down on the big bed. After sitting down, I felt that I had stood for a long time, and my whole body was sore.

"Brother is too worried, a Gao Cheng child, he can't set off any big storms, and this is not Yecheng." Hou Jing lazily persuaded.

"How does the second brother gossip? If he really doesn't matter, why do you want his life so many times? Xiao Zhengde rushed out.

This kind of thing can be done and can't be said, even if there are only two people, he and Hou Jing, this is a taboo thing. Xiao Zhengde didn't realize that he was gossiping.

Fortunately, Hou Jing knew that he was stupid and didn't care about him. asked rhetorically, "According to Wanjing, the eldest brother doesn't have to pay attention to others all day long, think about himself first." ”

No matter what he meant, these words suddenly pierced Xiao Zhengde's heart, and he was silent.

Hou Jing looked at Xiao Zhengde's expression carefully, and saw that he seemed to have become stupid all of a sudden, and knew that he was right. He was not in a hurry to take it off, and leisurely picked up the green glaze cup to learn from the Southern Dynasty and sipped it, scolding in his heart that the things that the monk loved were really not a taste, and they couldn't be eaten compared to buttermilk.

"After all, the prince is generous and benevolent." Xiao Zhengde turned his head to look at Hou Jing, who was sitting a few steps away from him.

Hou Jing laughed in his heart. He only mentioned one sentence, Xiao Zhengde already thought that the prince was generous and benevolent, could he still say that he had no heart for self-reliance?

Xiao Zhengde thought that the "father" was not bad for him, and the prince was a benevolent monarch, if he wanted to be rich and rich in poetry and wine all his life, he must be able to imagine it, and this life will be dull and worry-free.

"What does the prince have to do with his generosity, benevolence and eldest brother?" Hou Jingxiao asked. "Didn't the eldest brother see it? The emperor and the crown prince are blindly close to Gao Cheng's child? If it weren't for the fear of losing his color, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would probably give his daughter Princess Liyang to Gao Cheng Xiaoer as a concubine, instead of just sending a little lady from the Yang family, right? ”

Hou Jing looked at Xiao Zhengde as he spoke, and saw that he was silent again, afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he continued, "Big brother still can't understand? It's not like the Three Kingdoms now? Without Sima Gong being born, no one would be able to help anyone. The eldest brother doesn't know what to ask for outside, he only blindly asks for it inside, even if the emperor and the prince let you for a while, they won't add blue eyes. When Liang Wei became friends, Gao Cheng Xiaoer was in charge of the authority of Great Wei, and he was friendly with the Emperor of Liang and the crown prince, and he could also point fingers on the affairs of Liang at that time, and would he still have a foothold for the eldest brother? ”

Xiao Zhengde was really shocked by these words, and he blurted out suddenly, "The second brother is wrong!" ”

Hou Jingye was startled by these words, glared at Xiao Zhengde, and asked puzzled for a long time, "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”

Xiao Zhengde was stunned when he looked completely incomprehensible, and asked rhetorically, "With the power of the second brother, can't you really kill Gao Cheng'er?" How many miscalculations have you had? A few days ago, I followed him from the Tiger Prison to Guangling, and I couldn't do it, not to mention it, and even Yang Zipeng took advantage of it, not only did I not kill Gao Cheng'er, but I couldn't even kill Chen Yuankang. Could it be that this child is really blessed by the Buddha? ”

Xiao Zhengde counted Hou Jing in one go, and poured out all Hou Jing's recent actions, but fortunately there was no one nearby.

Hou Jing's face immediately became gloomy, stared at Xiao Zhengde and lowered his voice and said, "Big brother's words are wrong, how can this be Wanjing's business alone." If there is no eldest brother to help, how can the younger brother be able to lay out in Guangling? If there is no big brother to help, how can the sheep not be suspicious? If His Majesty Emperor Liang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that the eldest brother was trying so hard to get rid of the troubles for the country, I am afraid that they would look down on the eldest brother even more, right? ”

There was a warning in these words, and Xiao Zhengde's heart was cold when he heard it. He had already been a traitor, if he was so unclear and let the emperor and the crown prince know, what would be the result? Only then did he understand that he had a share of everything Hou Jing did, and he and Hou Jing were inseparable.

"The eldest brother doesn't have to worry, the younger brother has his own reasons, and he will never abandon the eldest brother. Brother Shi counted on the eldest brother to be able to help his younger brother gain a foothold in Dawei. Hou Jing saw that Xiao Zhengde had lost his color, and immediately changed his face and comforted him with a smile. When he was in the Tiger Prison, the timing was not right, and it was Gao Zhongmi's jurisdiction again, and his henchmen were all there......"

Hou Jing always had doubts in his heart. In fact, when Gao Cheng was in the Tiger Prison, he had already received a secret report, and someone had been secretly following Gao Cheng. Those people are not like people who are naturally not his, but they are not like people who are Gao Zhongmi. I can't find out what these people are trying to do. Why do you keep following Gao Cheng? It was precisely because it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe, so he didn't dare to order someone to kill Chen Yuankang urgently, nor did he dare to embarrass Gao Cheng.

Because Gao Zhongmi is the brother of Gao Aocao who died, he vaguely said to Xiao Zhengde, "It's not good to get angry." The eldest brother also knows that Chen Yuankang is Gao Cheng's child's arm, if his arm can be broken, wouldn't Gao Cheng'er be easy to manipulate? Hou Jing sighed again, "You can only fall short, and the sheep will not be used in the end." “

Hou Jing suddenly looked at Xiao Zhengde very seriously.

Xiao Zhengde listened to it with relish and felt that what Hou Jing said was reasonable. looked at Hou Jing puzzled.

"Big brother, don't you take the eldest brother in your eyes? Don't listen to the big brother's orders? What else do you have to distinguish between the true and the fake? Hou Jinghu was angry again.

Hou Jing still had some words that he didn't say, which meant the so-called "King of Linhe County" and "Great Prince", but in fact, it was just a name. Yang Yu is a free rider, his father is the official Shangshu Yang Kan is a person valued by Emperor Liang and the prince, and his sister is the attendant of the prince's daughter, Princess Liyang, so that he can not take this prince of the county in his eyes.

It's just that Xiao Zhengde is very smart in these places where he shouldn't be very smart. What also makes Xiao Zhengde particularly unconvinced is that this Yang Kan is also a "second minister"? At this time, he and Hou Jing resonated. He asked angrily, "What does the second brother think?" “

Hou Jing persuaded, "Didn't the eldest brother say that the prince is a generous and peaceful benevolent monarch? I guess I'll protect my big brother. He picked up the tone. Xiao Zhengde was about to argue in a hurry, but Hou Jing changed his words again, "It doesn't matter if the prince is a benevolent monarch or not, then he has to sit on the throne first." “

These words lit up Xiao Zhengde's heart, and he felt that Hou Jing was right, the prince is the prince, and the prince is not a real monarch, but he is actually a minister like himself. And isn't that the status of a non-monarch and a minister more difficult to do?

"The second brother is right." Xiao Zhengde immediately became excited.

"The eldest brother is also a prince, or the 'eldest prince', Qilang dares to have a plan, doesn't the eldest brother dare to think about himself?" Hou Jing further prompted.

"Second brother, is it for me? ......" Xiao Zhengde retreated again, looking at Hou Jing, full of questions and uneasiness.

"Big brother doesn't need to be in a hurry." Hou Jing comforted him, "Didn't that Qilang want to see Gao Cheng'er?" Let him meet first. “

Hou Jing had already understood that the imperial room of the Liang State seemed to be stable, but in fact there was a mess of muddy water inside, and he just wanted to make this muddy water even more muddy, and then choose the opportunity to take profit. Moreover, Gao Cheng can't be so easily valued and favored by Emperor Liang and the crown prince.

There are people in the depths of the clouds.

Yunyin Temple in the hinterland of Taibai Mountain in the south of Chang'an City is such a family.

Changbai Mountain is faintly visible from Chang'an, and it seems to be on the horizon, out of reach. The summit of Mount Taebaek, which is a dangerous mountain, is covered with snow in the middle of summer. The top of the mountain is like where the sky meets the mountain. Taibai Mountain is winding, and the hinterland is full of changes, and the inside is extremely hidden.

Yunyin Temple is located in the depths of the hinterland of Taibai Mountain.

The mountain gate of Yunyin Temple is hidden in the dense forest, which is very inconspicuous. The whole Zen temple is not big, embedded in the broad-leaved dense forest, almost does not see the light of day all year round, like the world outside the square, not polluted by the world. This Zen temple is not like a Zen temple, only in the front hall is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha. Other than that, it's like a courtyard where ordinary people live.

It's been a rare place for a long time. Leaving behind the mundane old things, not everything is unforgettable, and being in the mountains, why bother with the red dust?

In the middle of summer, the courtyard behind the temple is still shady because it is covered with ancient trees. A hobbled boy was running around in the courtyard and playing. There are only two people in this courtyard besides Xiaolang. A middle-aged servant woman kept chasing after Xiao Lang, staring at Xiao Lang intently, as if she was afraid that he would make a mistake. The other is a young girl standing under the ancient tree, who also looks at Xiaolang with a smile, and her eyes are doting and loving.

At this moment, these people in the courtyard did not know that a few hours ago, a team of guards and servants from the capital Chang'an came with a lot of things, and surrounded their lord Lang into Taibai Mountain. This is not the person who sent them daily supplies in the past, it is a very important person from Chang'an, this Lang Lord has an extraordinary relationship with Xiao Lang in Yunyin Temple.

The knock on the door rang for a long time, and the slaves and maids in the temple had just heard it. I was very surprised, because this was not the day when people from Chang'an came to deliver things. There are not many times a year on such days, and no one usually comes. When she opened the door and saw so many people outside, the slave maid was even more flustered.

Some were carrying belongings, some were obviously preparing to set up camp, and some were shouting and pointing fingers. And the majestic and heroic man standing behind the cangtou slave who knocked on the door, after a closer look, turned out to be the great prime minister Yu Wentai, which was even more shocking.

The slave wanted to go in and return to the lady, but Yuwentai stopped her and entered the temple by herself. The people who came with him did not come in with him, and when the temple gate was closed, they camped outside the temple.

It wasn't that he didn't hear the knock at the door, but he didn't take it to heart. was only a little surprised, but she let it go, and she only had Xiao Lang Mi Otu running around in her eyes at the moment. If everything can be forgotten and everything can be thrown away, then the most cherished part of her life now is only Miotu.

I didn't see it, and I didn't notice it at all, Yuwentai entered the temple, bypassed the front hall of the Buddha, and walked to the courtyard where he lived behind. He was immediately fascinated by the scene in front of him.

Mio staggered like a cute little animal, and his eyes were so big, dark and bright. It looks like he's all over his body, and he's pink. This little man was born with a strange atmosphere. It's not like those gentlemen and sons in the palace who have become rigid and proficient in books too early, so they are inevitably a little dull. He has not experienced the sophistication of those overly complicated human feelings, so he is simple and cheerful.

What attracted Yuwentai the most was the white figure under the towering ancient tree. The high and oblique bun is so chic on her body, revealing a slender neck, which is particularly elegant and beautiful. Such a simple white dress crashed into his heart at once.
