Chapter 67: Drawing the knife and cutting off the water and making the water flow more (II)
Yang Shunhua was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand, her heart was beating as if it was about to burst out of her chest, and she gasped uncontrollably. Gao Cheng gently pulled back her frightened hand with her other hand and slowly pressed it against her chest.
"I'm not hiding from you." I couldn't stand his smile anymore and his eyes that seemed to know everything were wrapped around her. Lowered his eyes and avoided it. After a pause, his breathing gradually calmed down, and he said lightly, "The prince and I are originally irrelevant people, so why avoid it?" ”
Gao Cheng was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect her heart to be so cold. Tastelessly, he let go of Yang Shunhua's hand, turned over again, turned his back to each other, and said coldly, "Relevant? Is it me who has nothing to do with you, or are you irrelevant to me? ”
Suddenly there was silence.
Gao Cheng couldn't hear a voice behind him. After all, I couldn't bear it, and I turned over slowly and with difficulty again. I saw her bow her head and weep silently. Just think about it. If it is irrelevant, it may be the best relationship between them, or the best ending.
Xiao Qiongju is the princess of the Southern Dynasty, and there is only one hatred between Gao Cheng and her in the Northern Dynasty. However, the Yang clan has entered the north from the south and from the north to the south, and the Yang clan is a subtle existence in both the Northern and Southern Dynasties. With such a complex family background, it is impossible for Gao Cheng and Yang Shunhua to have any too deep relationship after all. What's more, there is still a Xiao Qiongju between them, and neither of them can completely ignore her. I'm afraid she's going to have more troubles, right? That's why I try my best to hide myself.
Gao Cheng is a very smart person, so he can naturally understand all this with a little thought. It's just that he doesn't think it's a big deal. Or maybe it's not a problem at all, so it's put on the back burner.
"Now that the son is fine, please recuperate and rest. Her Royal Highness the Princess was also frightened last night, and she was afraid that she would look for me when she woke up at this time......"
Gao Cheng watched Yang Shunhua stand up and say goodbye.
She had also been injured last night, and had been lying down in front of his bed all night to take care of him, and at this time she was extremely tired, and she felt that it was dark in front of her as soon as she got together. His body shook slightly, and he stood firmly. It was pitch black in front of him, and he was dizzy, and he didn't dare to move again for a while.
Gao Cheng has always seen her as cold as ice and as hard as steel. When will you see her crying? When did you see her so weak? Got up suddenly, regardless of the great pain of the wound, afraid that she would disappear in front of her eyes, he quickly grabbed her hand and pulled it back hard. Yang Shunhua no longer had the strength to fall into his arms.
"With me here, why are you so worried?" Gao Cheng reached out to support the back of her head without hesitation, and lowered his head to kiss it after saying only one word.
Yang Shunhua did not break free anymore and let him do whatever he wanted. Her eyes were closed, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Shizi." I don't know when the door will open or when someone will come in. It was Cui Jishu's voice.
Yang Shunhua was startled, and was so frightened that he hurriedly pushed Gao Cheng away. She didn't know that Cui Jishu had long been accustomed to such a scene for her master.
"What's the matter! Don't you know that your lord has been seriously injured and has not recovered? So much screaming! Gao Cheng was annoyed and ashamed.
Cui Jishu smiled and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess and the Duke of Puyang both came to visit Lord Lang and met at the door. ”
Gao Cheng was in a trance and didn't speak. Somehow, he suddenly remembered Yuan Zhonghua, the princess of Feng Yi who was far away in Luoyang. In front of me, there is a blue figure playing the flute under the plum blossoms. He blurted out, "Which princess?" ”
Yang Shunhua looked up at Gao Cheng and caught his expression, his heart was gloomy, and he didn't speak. How do you know that his mind has long been drifting away.
Cui Jishu was also stunned, thinking that Lord Lang was too seriously injured and confused, and said with a smile, "Of course, it is Her Royal Highness the princess of the Liang Kingdom of the Southern Dynasty." ”
Xiao Qiongju is indeed the first time to see Hou Jing. She is not a boudoir woman who doesn't listen to things outside the window, and with her status, she naturally knows Hou Jing's prestige for a long time. Suddenly, they were together so closely, and somehow they were afraid. In fact, she is the princess of the Southern Dynasty, and Hou Jing is the general of the Northern Dynasty, and they are completely irrelevant. I only felt that this lame man standing there had formed a huge gloomy pressure for her. In fact, from beginning to end, this person did not say a word to her, and stood there motionless, never even looking at her a few times. Xiao Qiongju couldn't wait to return to Yunmengtai immediately at this moment, and even if he was visiting Gao Cheng's injury, he was afraid to go with this person.
Hou Jing naturally didn't see Xiao Qiongju, but his mind was not here at the moment. Although the princess of the Southern Dynasty is beautiful, she is just a beautiful ordinary woman in his eyes at this moment, and it has nothing to do with him. In fact, he already knew that she had been favored by Gao Cheng, and he naturally understood that according to Gao Cheng's temperament, he did not hold this princess in his heart and regarded him as the only one. The most important thing at the moment is that the prince was attacked in Chang'an, and there must be an explanation.
"Your Highness." Hearing Yang Shunhua's voice, the two people outside the door who had their own hearts woke up from their contemplation.
Hou Jing raised his head vigilantly and looked at Yang Shunhua. He took great care to distinguish her expression.
Yang Shunhua also noticed that Hou Jing was staring at her, and felt strange in her heart, and also glanced at Hou Jing, but she couldn't see any clues. Neither of them spoke.
Even Xiao Qiongju noticed that Hou Jing was staring at Yang Shunhua, and he was even more frightened. greeted him and said softly, "Sister is tired." "She only thinks that Yang Shunhua guards Gao Cheng because of her. Seeing that her face was calm, he was greatly relieved.
At this time, Hou Jing had already turned around and entered.
"Sister, let's go." Xiao Qiongju pulled Yang Shunhua.
"Won't the princess go in?" Yang Shunhua was shocked, remorseful and ashamed.
"I'm so afraid of that lame man, and I'm afraid of seeing him somehow, so I'd better go back. Since my sister guarded Ah Hui all night, there was nothing wrong at this time, so he must be fine. As she spoke, she was going to pull Yang Shunhua away.
She said it calmly, and Yang Shunhua didn't feel good in her heart.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a loud voice inside, "It's all Hebayue's old department, take advantage of this gap to make trouble." I am afraid that there are still exiles from Hexi who have jumped into Chang'an to make trouble, and it is better for the prince to return to Luoyang as soon as possible. It was Hou Jing's voice.
The old ministry of Hebatak? Hexi homeless? Yang Shunhua secretly thought to herself, all alike, but not alike, who could it be? Hou Jing was clearly lying. Because the assassin clearly came for her, not for Gao Cheng. It can also be interpreted as making things chaotic and doing things randomly, but it can be more like a clear goal, intentionally. Seeing that Xiao Qiongju had turned around and left, he didn't care about thinking about it anymore and walked towards Yunmengtai. I was also thinking in my heart that Chang'an was eventful, so it was better to go back to Jiankang as soon as possible.
Dimly I felt the light in the window, and the chirping of birds heralded the dawn. When the twilight was slightly dew, Yuan Yuying came to her senses, but she was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes. Listen carefully, and there is not a single sound. I want to get up and take a look, after all, my heart is not steady. But his body was so heavy that he couldn't get up anyway. It was as if he had not slept all night, with a splitting headache, and he was always half-awake and half-blurred, and he couldn't even tell what had really happened and what was a dream.
It happened that at this time, he heard a very soft sound of opening the door with a "squeak", and immediately called, "Nan Qiao." ”
Sure enough, I heard light footsteps and walked to the bed. A soft and cold dawn penetrated into the tent, Nan Qiao put one side of the bed tent up and hung it up, and whispered softly, "Your Highness is awake?" ”
"Where's the pony?" Yuan Yuying couldn't help blurting out when she saw Nan Qiao in front of the couch clearly.
Nan Qiao didn't guard against this question, and hesitated slightly, "I'm afraid that there is something important about the horse, and he didn't return last night." ”
Yuan Yuying didn't speak. I always feel that since I arrived in Chang'an, everything seems to have changed. Everything in Luoyang and Tongwan became unreal. What is Yuwentai hiding from her?
In fact, Nan Qiao didn't know that Yuwentai didn't return overnight, and at this moment, he was in the back garden of the mansion.
The night had passed, and at the darkest time before dawn, Yuwentai had returned from the Chang'an wine shop. He wasn't drunk, he just needed a chance to indulge himself for a while. And he can also be himself after being willful. Therefore, after returning home, he went straight to the back garden, not to be disturbed, not to report. Only when you are quiet can you be calm, and only when you are calm can you make a decision. Just gave an order, if the governor Zhao Gui arrived, please enter the back garden immediately.
Zhao Gui really came at dawn like night. When he was introduced into the garden, he saw Yuwentai standing still by the lake from a distance. In the early morning, Qing Leng was not durable, but Yu Wentai seemed to be unaware. The servant behind him quietly retreated, closing the gate of the garden hidden in the bamboo.
Zhao Gui walked up to Yuwentai, and his face was filled with the smell of wine. couldn't help but sigh, "Why would the lord hurt himself so much for a woman? ”
Yu Wentai turned around, but his eyes were blazing, and he was not drunk at all. "Did you find out?" Who exactly is it and why did you kill Yang Shunhua? Or Gao Cheng, he didn't suspect that someone wanted to kill him. But this is Guanzhong, he must understand.
"Hou Jing." Zhao Gui only said two words.
Yu Wentai bowed slightly, and he was in harmony with what he thought, so he didn't have to ask again.
"The prince is either sick or a disaster in Chang'an, it seems that it is really inappropriate here." Yuwentai means long and authentic.
"Isn't the lord going to visit the prince?" Zhao Gui looked at him and asked.
"Naturally, I'm going." Yu Wentai said as he walked around the lake to the inner house, and then ordered, "Brother Yuan is waiting for me outside the mansion gate." ”
Naturally, you can't go with a lot of alcohol, of course this Zhao Gui understands, so he went out at the order.
As soon as Yuwentai entered the inner house, he saw Nan Qiao open the door and come out, turned around and helped the eldest princess Yuan Yuying to walk out of it. Only then did he feel that he had gone from Yuan Yuying to Chang'an, because he had something in his heart and neglected his wife, he was indeed sorry, not to mention that she was still pregnant with his blood.
Yuwentai simply came up.
Yuan Yuying and Nan Qiao stopped, and Yuan Yuying shouted with a smile, "Husband." His face overflowed with joy, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction or blame.
Yu Wentai walked forward slowly, and when he saw that she was slightly haggard, her eyes were slightly swollen, and she knew it in her heart, and said, "Your Highness has just arrived in Chang'an, don't work hard." As he spoke, he waved his hand to Nan Qiao, who came up and was about to greet him, and motioned for her to stand down. Then he personally helped Yuan Yuying to walk in the courtyard.
"Husband's drinking?" Yuan Yuying saw that he was speechless, and he was full of wine, and asked softly.
Yuwentai stopped, carefully pulled her body in front of him, and looked at Yuan Yuying with watery eyes, "Good wife doesn't have to worry about me......" As he spoke, he looked down at Yuan Yuying's bulging abdomen, and then raised his head and said with a smile on his lips, "It's so hard, the black otter remembers it." ”
Yuan Yuying's lips smiled but disappeared, tears welled up in her eyes, and she always felt that he was different from before. Even though her face is like a spring breeze, it still makes her feel far away. "My husband is always one level away from me. Why bother with this? Isn't my husband's heir my heir? ”
Yuwentai didn't speak, looking down at Yuan Yuying looking up at him. It was still a peerless face, but he was in a trance in his heart, he didn't explain, he didn't speak, he just raised his hand and gently brushed away Yuan Yuying's tears, and whispered very gently, "Don't cry." ”
Yuan Yuying calmed down for a moment, felt ashamed in her heart, and restrained her loss of control for a moment.
Yuwentai waited for her to collect her tears before saying, "Rest well, I still have something to do." After speaking, he let go of Yuan Yuying and turned around.
Yuan Yuying didn't speak until watching Yuwentai's back disappear and Nan Qiao came in.
When the sun is shining, Chang'an is a bright spring day, as if nothing has happened.
Yu Wentai was led into the Gaotang Temple, but he only felt full of gloom.
He knew that Gao Cheng was injured. Of course, Hou Jing, Chen Yuankang, and Cui Jishu also knew that any wind and grass in Guanzhong at this time could not hide from Yuwentai.
Strangely, he didn't see Gao Cheng lying on the couch to recuperate, but he was well-dressed and proud. It's just that he looks unusually pale, as if he is tired and injured. And Hou Jing, Chen Yuankang, and Cui Jishu stood below, and they all watched him come in.
