Chapter 51: The Ancients Lost the East of Luocheng (Part II)
Finally, Yu Wentai put down the letter and looked up at Yuan Yuying, "Your Highness has been quite unwell recently, so I have a good breath in the house." I'll go to Shanggui at once," he paused, "and when I return, I'll explain everything to Your Highness." With that, he turned and walked outside.
According to Yuan Yuying's temperament, how could she be so unclear, before Yuwentai walked to the door, Yuan Yuying called, "Husband, slow down!" ”
Yuwentai knew her temper well, so she had to stop, and the husband and wife were silent. Finally, Yuwentai sighed slightly, turned around and said, "Good wife, General Daxing Taiyue has left Chang'an and went straight to Shanggui in Longxi, and he is about to fight against Cao Ni in Lingzhou together with Mo Chen Yue, the Marquis of Qinzhou." He paced a few steps seemingly idly and walked to Yuan Yuying's side. Recently, the Marquis Jing of Puyang County, Boling, has had close contacts with Shanggui, and General Zhao Gui felt quite different, so he sent me a letter. He didn't go any further.
Yuan Yuying is also an extremely smart person. In contrast, although Hou Jing is vacillating, he is dependent on the situation. Now he is naturally a high-spirited person. He has a close relationship with Hou Mo Chen Yue, that is, the prime minister Gao Huan has a close relationship with Hou Mo Chen Yue. At this time, it was Hou Mo Chen Yue who asked Daxing Taihe Bayue to jointly crusade against Cao Ni, and he felt strange. If there is a loss, He Batyue will be defeated, and even her husband Yuwentai will be lost, let alone use He Batyue's momentum to suppress Gao Huan. Yuan Yuying looked at Yuwentai who was calm and calm on the surface, but he always refused to stretch his brows, and it was not difficult to know that he was in trouble.
"Take care, husband." That's all she said.
"Take care of the good wife." Yu Wentai only replied to this sentence, and then resolutely turned away.
Although Yuwentai was on the road quickly, how could he know that when Zhao Gui sent the letter to him, the Kansai Daxing Taihe Bayue was already on the way to Shanggui in Chang'an. He Bayue led Guanzhong, but Guanzhong had not yet been pacified. Lingzhou Cao Ni has been dissatisfied for a long time, and it has always been a heart disease that He Bayue's ambition is difficult to pay. Speaking of which, Hou Mo Chen Yue's personality He Bayue is also very clear, but he has been sick for a long time and is in a hurry, and this time it was Hou Mo Chen Yue who took the initiative to invite, so he thought of taking this opportunity to destroy Cao Ni in one fell swoop. Therefore, although Yuwentai is fast, He Bayue is faster.
Zhao Gui understood all the situation. always felt that it was inappropriate, so he repeatedly admonished, but He Bayue thought that the opportunity was rare, so he did not listen to the advice and insisted on going straight to Shanggui. By the time Zhao Gui sent a messenger to deliver the letter to Tongwan, and Yuwentai received the letter and went straight to Shanggui, in fact, He Bayue had already arrived at the city of Shanggui.
The weather can be unpredictable in spring. Tongwan City was originally in the desert, but it changed three times a day. The sun is hot and the heat is gone. Yuan Yuying woke up in the darkness of the night, and felt even more cold. His body was dripping with cold sweat, and he didn't speak, but just turned over and fell into deep thought. A strong sense of foreboding welled up in my heart, and the drowsiness was dispelled.
Nan Qiao, who was laying the floor in front of the bed, got up lightly, walked to the bed with light steps, knew that Yuan Yuying was awake, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Your Highness?" She had served the eldest princess for a long time, and knew that Yuan Yuying had never slept very well at night, and almost never lost sleep.
Yuan Yuying was silent for a moment in the dark and said, "I don't know where the hussar general is now." ”
Nan Qiao pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Is Your Highness worried about the Captain of the Horse or the Lord?" ”
Yuan Yuying suddenly thought of the queen Gao Changjun, and wondered if she and her own state of mind were the same. But she still didn't waver in the slightest, "The general is the general, and the lord is the lord." Yuan Yuying thought to herself, why bother not separating each other? Perhaps this is the solution.
The spring night in Tongwan City is like a winter night, but the spring night in Luoyang City is already warm.
Tossing and turning and having trouble sleeping, why not Yuan Yuying, who was originally sleepy recently?
Emperor Yuan Xiu's crown belt stands neatly on the floating jade mountain in the inner garden of the Great Wei Palace. On the side of the fence of Zhuhua Pavilion hanging on the mountainside, Yuan Xiu climbed high and looked into the distance, as if he could pick the stars with his hands. Although it was late at night, he clearly saw the Great Wei River and Mountains through the night sky. For the first time, there was a sense of domination over the world, and for the first time, there was the ambition and pride to take charge of the country. It seems that you can control the world with one hand, is the world really in your own hands?
In the dark night, the court of Great Wei was silent, so silent that he could hear his own heart. Yuan Xiu caressed the guardrails and pillars of Zhu Hua Pavilion, and he could even hear his breathing. There was a dream here, maybe it was a dream at this time, it was true. Yuan Xiu subconsciously stroked the column, and after a long time, he finally put away the sigh in his heart and walked down the steep wooden steps step by step. I don't know whether it is light or melancholy in my heart, but it is light in my feet. waved his hand, repelled the eunuch attendants who followed, and wandered alone in the middle of the night in the Great Wei court.
It seems that I don't know where I am, but I just know what I want and follow each other. When he stopped, he looked up, and it was pitch black in the distance, and the high palace wall blocked the view, and only a wisp of flute sound came out over the high wall, and it was not really heard. Somehow, I actually walked to the Jiaofang Palace. Yuan Xiu stood still for a long time, wanting to go and stay. Finally, I couldn't help myself, and I walked slowly up the long stone steps. Standing outside the palace gate, he hesitated, knowing that the palace gate must be locked in the middle of the night. Although he is the emperor of Great Wei and has the power to open this lock, he doesn't know how to open his heart knot. This may be a problem that he will never be able to solve. When the contradiction that was originally thought to be bigger seemed to be resolved, it was discovered that the contradiction between him and Gao Changjun was the one that did not seem dazzling but could never be solved.
You need to try to restrain yourself, and you will cry at the door. No one saw the forgetfulness of the Son of Heaven of Great Wei at this moment, and the despair in his heart had reached the extreme, and it seemed that everything no longer made sense because of this. Who would have thought that the palace gate would not be able to withstand his full support, and it was slowly pushed open a gap. It turns out that the palace gate is not locked! I don't know if it's a coincidence, forgetfulness, or if it's always been like this.
The sound of the flute was clear, seemingly intermittent. It was as if something had invisibly grabbed his heart and forced him to go inward. Yuan Xiu clearly knew that he could see the new green outside the hall during the day, but he couldn't see anything in the dark. Finally, he stopped at the door, and turned away with all his strength.
In the hall, Gao Changjun put down the flute and gradually quieted down. Ruoyun entered through the curtain, approached the side, and whispered, "Your Highness, the Lord has gone back." ”
Gao Changjun didn't speak, he approached the place where he usually copied the scriptures and sat down, laid out the paper with his own hands, studied the ink, and only recited the Buddha's name in his mouth, and only said as if he was talking to himself for a while, "It's better not to see." ”
Ruoyun walked out gently.
The night sky is high, the bright moon hangs in the sky, the sword is strong, and the stars fall like rain. In the mansion of Gao Huan, the great prime minister of the Bohai Sea, in the deep courtyard, the concubine of the prince Gao Cheng, stood quietly under a peach tree, looking at Gao Cheng, the lord of the Lang, who was dancing with a sword.
The young young master was heroic and imposing at the moment, completely focused on the pride between wielding the sword, and did not see the woman who was obsessed with him under the peach blossom in his eyes. His shiny black hair was completely scattered, and his beautiful face was cold and indifferent over the Allure Woman. The white hakama on his body is often worn when practicing martial arts, and it has long been worn, but it looks unruly when worn on him.
Wang stood quietly to the side, reluctant to look away from his eyes. Only then can she look at him unscrupulously and own him. Tonight, she always felt that the young master seemed to have something on her mind, and she knew that whenever this happened, he was always used to dancing the sword alone in the middle of the night to relieve the anxiety in his heart. He is not a person who likes to talk a lot, and of course it is impossible to confide in her.
It's the flute again. Wang Shi felt the sound of the flute breaking through the air very sensitively, and it seemed that it was not the night sky that was piercing, but her heart. Following the sound, when he looked back, the prince had quietly collected his sword and stood on the spot to listen. When he landed on the ground and retracted his sword, his long black hair brushed his cheeks, there was such a wicked man in this world. Wang was almost suffocating. He was like no one around, but he was more sensitive to the sound of the flute than she was. Wang remembers that the last time it was the same flute sound that made him miss it so much.
Gao Cheng casually threw his sword aside and walked away. Wang stood under the peach blossoms and did not move, she could only look at his back and sigh deeply in her heart.
The green plums are gone, and this small courtyard is even more cold and lonely. Ah Jiao under the eaves listened attentively to the flute of the princess Yuan Zhonghua, looked at the independent figure of the slender girl in yellow clothes, and suddenly heard a loud "bang".
Yuan Zhonghua put down the flute and looked, and the courtyard gate had already been kicked open by Gao Cheng. The figure in white was particularly conspicuous in the dark night, and Ah Jiao had already seen the prince Gao Cheng striding in. She hurriedly walked down from the porch and walked quickly to Gao Cheng, actually protecting Yuan Zhonghua in front of her. Seeing the angry appearance of the prince, she was afraid that he would have a conflict with the princess. Greet her first, who knows that before she can speak and get up, the prince has already waved her hand impatiently to signal her to retreat. Ah Jiao had to retreat cautiously.
Gao Cheng was stopped by Ah Jiao, he was not as angry as he was just now, and he didn't come over, he only asked coldly, "The princess is so interested, I don't know who she is missing?" ”
Yuan Zhonghua played with the jade flute in his hand, there was no anger or joy, it didn't seem to be her business, and he didn't seem to understand what Gao Cheng meant at all, he lowered his head and asked in a very ordinary tone, "The prince is sleepless late at night, and his sudden intrusion always makes people panic." After that, he looked up at Gao Cheng ignorantly.
Gao Cheng walked up a few steps and asked coldly, "Your Highness said that who was panicked, is it Ah Jiao or you?" I am your husband, visiting his wife, why should Your Highness panic? ”
Yuan Zhonghua looked at Gao Cheng puzzled, and asked, "The husband has banned me here as if he was forbidden to the lord in the palace, why is the husband so domineering?" ”
"You ......" she said in a purely inquiring tone, not questioning. Because of this, the anger that Gao Cheng had suppressed just now suddenly soared. But why was he, who has always been good at words, so angry that he choked on her? He strode up as if angry, snatched the jade flute from her hand, and slammed it to the ground.
With a crisp cracking sound, the jade flute broke into several pieces, and the jade chips splashed countless times.
"My ...... My flute! Yuan Zhonghua exclaimed.
Yuan Zhonghua looked at the jade flute that was destroyed by Gao Cheng in disbelief, and when he looked up at him again, he was infinitely aggrieved, and his eyes were full of tears. Then the grievances were gone, full of anger, "Go find your Wang family, don't come here again!" Yuan Zhonghua turned around and left.
Gao Cheng didn't allow her to complain anymore, took a few steps in a hurry, and pulled her into his arms and lowered his head and kissed her. He is also a child, and many times he is also headstrong. She is his wife, no matter what he does, she can only have him alone in her heart, why doesn't she understand?
Yuan Zhonghua didn't expect this to be the case at all, so he could only be at his mercy by surprise. Feeling her youth and ignorance, Gao Cheng also softened and was extremely considerate.
"Shizi......" Ah Jiao had already entered the courtyard and called softly. Looking at the scene in front of her, although she was slightly surprised, she also knew that it was morning and evening. It's just that neither the prince nor the princess heard her call. "Shizi ......" Ah Jiao raised her voice.
Yuan Zhonghua's body trembled, and he hurriedly pushed Gao Cheng away. Gao Cheng was fearless, slowly raised his head, and took a closer look at her, Yuan Zhonghua's face was full of tears. She trembled and subconsciously stroked her cheeks, her face was so hot. She wiped tears from her face.
"What?" Gao Cheng didn't look back at Ah Jiao.
"General Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu, who joined the army, ask to meet." Ah Jiao replied.
"What time is it?" Gao Cheng said angrily, he still looked at Yuan Zhonghua. "Let them come here."
