Chapter 52: The High King is furious
Princess Gao Yuan Zhonghua was almost weak when she got out of the bumpy and fast-flying carriage.
I can't remember how I got out of the Jiaofang Palace, how I got out of the palace, and how I got into the carriage.
Gao Yang threw the whip in his hand to his own cangtou slave who had just caught up, and then he copied Yuan Zhonghua's body unthinkingly, hugged it horizontally and walked towards King Gao's mansion.
Yuan Zhonghua suddenly reacted, beat him fiercely, and shouted backwards, "Ah! ”
Auntie is still in the car, and she can't abandon it. Besides, this is the Gao Wang's Mansion, she is the master mother here, and she can't just go in like this.
This time, Gao Yang didn't force her. He put down Yuan Zhonghua, turned around and walked back to the carriage, opened the curtain and looked inside, Ah Jiao was still lying in the car with a dying breath. He motioned for the cangtou slave to help Ah Jiao down.
At this time, a white shadow flashed in the door of King Gao's mansion, and someone was heard calling, "Princess." Then a fluttering figure fell in front of them like a cloud.
Gao Yang retreated and saw that it was the extraordinarily different orchid in the eldest brother's concubine's room. In the colder weather at night, only a thin white shirt and skirt are worn out, but they stand out in the night. The people are very gorgeous, and although the clothes and ornaments are simple, they do not lose their color.
"Lady, go and call someone!" Yuan Zhonghua saw Kang Naning come out, although he was unexpected, his heart suddenly settled down.
Kang Naning promised in his mouth, but his eyes swept Gao Yang, and his gaze was extremely cold. But she finally listened to Yuan Zhonghua's instructions and called the slave maid to help Ah Jiao in.
Yuan Zhonghua finally fell to the ground, and ordered someone to pass on the imperial doctor's order to treat Ah Jiao, regardless of Ah Jiao's status as a slave. Then he walked towards the door of the mansion, ignoring Gao Yang, who was still standing outside.
Kang Naning saw that Gao Yang seemed to want to come up and help Yuan Zhonghua, so she helped Yuan Zhonghua to walk inside first.
No one spoke along the way, and when they returned to the courtyard where Yuan Zhonghua lived, they settled Ah Jiao first. Back in Yuan Zhonghua's house, Yuan Zhonghua was already exhausted.
She has experienced too many things today, and the sudden things are too big, which has already consumed a lot of energy for her.
Kang Naning didn't say anything, but she had been taking care of Yuan Zhonghua carefully and considerately. I also have to deal with two Xiaolangjun: Bodhi and Asu.
Bodhi and Asu both called Yuan Zhonghua "Mother" and Kang Ji "Auntie". The two Xiaolang naturally clinged to their mother when they saw it. Although Yuan Zhonghua was in a trance, he felt comforted only at this time.
coaxed the two Xiaolang together with Kang Naning, until they were trapped and taken away by the slaves. At this time, there were only two people left in the room, Yuan Zhonghua and Kang Naning.
Kang Naning saw that Yuan Zhonghua's sideburns were scattered, and the swallow fat on his cheeks was uneven, so he didn't ask much, and only ordered the slave maid to prepare to serve the princess. When Kang Naning got up, Yuan Zhonghua suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
As soon as Kang Naning turned around, she saw Yuan Zhonghua looking at her with a sad expression, as if she had a lot to say to her, but she didn't say a word.
"What's wrong with the princess?" Kang Naning knelt down in front of the big bed and supported Yuan Zhonghua.
Yuan Zhonghua suddenly fell on her shoulder and cried bitterly.
She hid a lot of words in her heart, and what she wanted to say the most was Gao Cheng. But this is something that can't be done, even if she wants to say it, he may not want to hear it. He might be with Moonlight at this time, right?
Yuan Zhonghua suddenly remembered that when the abolition of the turmoil, Bodhi was still in her womb, and it was extremely hard to be tired.
"You can bring Asu back." Yuan Zhonghua finally stopped crying and suddenly said something.
Kang Naning looked at Yuan Zhonghua in disbelief and said suspiciously, "The princess doesn't want Asu anymore?" ”
"It may not be good for him to follow me." Yuan Zhonghua's tone was extremely sad. "He's your son. It's Bodhi......" she paused suddenly. Bodhi is someone she sees as more important than her own life.
"Asu is the princess's son." Kang Nanen's tone was extremely affirmative.
I didn't expect her to be so cold-hearted. Yuan Zhonghua was silent.
"Does the princess have any grievances?" Kang Nanen asked suddenly.
Yuan Zhonghua gently and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly smiled indifferently. When she smiled, her eyes were full of tears, just waiting for her eyelids to move a little and they would flow down.
Kang Naning didn't want to ask again. But she always had doubts in her heart. She knew that since Yu Jiulu's identity changed, it must have had a great impact on Yuan Zhonghua. But I feel that although it is a bit too much for the moonlight to monopolize Gao Cheng, it is always done in the light and never in the dark.
Suddenly, I heard the door being pushed open.
The two of them looked at each other together.
"Princess, the king is here!" The slave and maid looked very frightened. It's not like a surprise because Lord Lang came. "And Li Ji." The slave maid added.
Hearing the title "Li Ji", Kang Naning stood up.
Yuan Zhonghua didn't have time to say anything, and he didn't have time to tidy up his makeup and clothes, when he suddenly heard a loud shout of rage, "Hateful minion!" It was Gao Cheng's voice.
Yuan Zhonghua's heart sank in an instant. She had never seen him so irritable and angry since she was a child.
Kang Naning watched as if nothing had happened.
Then he saw that Gao Cheng thought that the slave was in the way, and kicked the thin little maid down without mercy.
I don't know how hard he used, but the slave fell to the ground and rolled to the side, and fainted without saying a word.
Yuan Zhonghua almost gagged when he saw such a tyrannical scene at first glance.
Gao Cheng didn't expect Kang Naning to be here, and he was quite surprised. He suppressed his anger and stared at Kang Nanen.
Kang Naning was not moved at all when she saw Gao Cheng, as if this person could already be ignored in her eyes. At this time, he also bowed very knowingly and said, "Presumably, the king and the princess have something to say, and the concubine will retire." After that, he didn't wait for Gao Cheng to say anything, so he withdrew without any nostalgia or hesitation.
Moonlight actually didn't have long to return home.
Although she had already left the palace, because of the good weather and high spirits, she went to ride a horse outside the city. It wasn't until she had enough of playing that she remembered that Gao Cheng said that she would wait in Jiaofang Hall to return home with her. Thinking about it, the time is almost up, I'm afraid Gao Cheng has also returned home, so she returned satisfied. I can't put it into words.
I didn't expect her to come back, and Gao Cheng hadn't come back yet. Moonlight doesn't care, what she has to do and what she does. It just so happens that I am tired from riding a horse today, and I don't care about the hour, so I ordered to eat first.
Just when she was comfortable, Tao Rui came to report that Lord Lang had returned and gone to the princess.
dismissed the other slaves and maids, and Tao Rui talked in detail about what happened after Gao Cheng came back.
Moonlight just listened, not a word.
After Tao Rui finished speaking, she didn't know what the princess meant in her heart, so she asked, "There must be a reason why the king is so angry, the princess and the princess are good friends, so you should go and see and persuade the king." ”
Tao Rui's thinking always follows the thinking of the old lord when she was a princess. If Luoying encounters such a thing, she will never let it go.
Moonlight fell on the big bed she was sitting on, half-sitting and half-leaning on the crypt and said lightly, "What am I going to do?" This is the matter of the king and the princess, that is, to make trouble in the sky, what does it have to do with me? At this time, it seems that there is an ulterior motive to persuade him. I'm also tired, so I just took advantage of the quiet to go to bed early, so why bother with them? ”
Tao Rui had nothing to say.
Kang Nanen walked out of the house without looking back. I just didn't expect to see Li Changyi standing outside the courtyard as soon as I came out, lingering, as if I was looking forward to something.
Li Changyi was also stunned when she saw Kang Naning actually come out of it. Thinking that she must have seen it when Gao Cheng went in just now, she immediately wanted to come up and eat his flesh.
Kang Nanen didn't dodge. called "Mrs. Li".
Li Changyi sneered, "The king doesn't like you as a minion, what's the use of you currying up to the princess?" And send your own son over? The princess gave birth to a concubine herself, how can she like the cheap son you sent? I'm afraid that the princess will not be able to protect herself now, let alone take care of your affairs. ”
Kang Naning was furious when he heard this. She was bullied by Li Changyi a lot, but most of them were the slaves and maids of Kuye who came to find trouble, and Li Changyi was not willing to surrender her identity very often.
She gritted her teeth and endured it, let go of anything else, and only asked, "How do you know that the princess herself is difficult to protect?" ”
Li Changyi smiled lightly, she was really conceited to the extreme. "Do you think I'm going to let your family die? What about the princess? ”
Kang Nanen's body couldn't stop shaking when she heard this, but she finally turned around and staggered away without saying anything. She almost couldn't believe that Li Changyi didn't even let go of the eldest princess? She had never expected her to be so femme fatale.
The cold wind gradually rose, and Kang Naning was already unaware.
The room was eerily quiet.
Kang Naning went out for a long time, Gao Cheng was still standing at the door and didn't come in, his green eyes staring at Yuan Zhonghua with cold eyes.
Yuan Zhonghua got up from the big bed and stood here all the time, looking at Gao Cheng. It's come to this, how bad can it be? Since she can't control anything, she can only wait for things to develop.
Yuan Zhonghua smiled slightly, she seemed to be smiling at Gao Cheng but it didn't seem to be. The person in front of her already made her feel strange, but she couldn't see clearly Gao Cheng hidden in her heart no matter what, where was her original husband.
Finally, Gao Cheng slowly walked step by step, his eyes never leaving Yuan Zhonghua's body. Her complexion was as white as paper, and there were some traces of swallow fat that were almost indistinguishable. Her eyes were slightly swollen, and only a pair of pupils were dark and deep, looking at her watery, and her eyes were all red.
Gao Cheng approached her, staring down at her. "Doesn't Your Highness want to say anything to me?"
"Does King Gao want to know anything and use me to talk about it?" Yuan Zhonghua did not explain a word. "There are people around King Gao who speak to King Gao."
"I want to hear from His Highness himself." Gao Cheng's face was terrifyingly gloomy. His breathing grew heavier.
"The concubine has nothing to say to the king." Yuan Zhonghua refused. He was like a beast teasing his prey, but he was just enjoying the teasing. She refused the teasing. He had already made up his mind, why would she bother to say things that he wouldn't believe her at all?
"Then Your Highness will tell me, where is Ajiao?" Gao Cheng's gaze swept around the room. "Ah Jiao and His Royal Highness are inseparable, why is she not here?"
"Ah Jiao is sick today and cannot come to serve the king." Yuan Zhonghua replied calmly.
"Really?" Gao Cheng looked at Yuan Zhonghua again, and he slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Yuan Zhonghua's cheeks. His gaze carefully swept over her cheeks and hair bun one by one, and suddenly saw the pair of emerald gold hairpins, which he felt particularly dazzling.
She wore it to be with him that day. Today she wears this hairpin to meet others.
His hand had gone around the back of her head, stroking the hair that had fallen from the back of her neck, and then unexpectedly held a handful of hair in the palm of his hand. He was neither light nor heavy, but he kept her under control.
Yuan Zhonghua's breath trembled, and he couldn't avoid looking at Gao Cheng.
"It's not just Ah Jiao who is sick, right? His Royal Highness's messy appearance looks just as soulless, is it really okay? As he spoke, he suddenly noticed a slight tear on Yuan Zhonghua's lips, as well as a few imperceptible traces of dried purple-red blood.
Everything in his heart has been reflected, which just shows that what Li Changyi said to him in the car is true. He had to believe it.
Yuan Zhonghua couldn't move, and was forced to look up at him, "If the king really cares about me, it's really unnecessary, the concubine is indeed fine." Why did the king stay here for a long time...... "She actually had something to say behind her, but she didn't say it in the end. Isn't Moonlight waiting for him?
"His Royal Highness met Hou Niyu in the Jiaofang Hall today, did you not look at Ah Hui? No wonder it's so cold. Gao Cheng finally said this. He couldn't help but exert force in his hands, holding Yuan Zhonghua's hair tightly.
Yuan Zhonghua couldn't help but sneer. "Is it the king who is cold, or the concubine who is cold? It is true that the concubine saw Zijin in the Jiaofang Palace, but the Jiaofang Palace is the queen's palace, and it is not that the concubine can see whoever she wants. The reason is so obvious, does the king really not understand it in his heart? If the king really wants to go, he doesn't have to find such a reason. The Yuan clan was originally a puppet of the Gao clan, and he wanted to take what he wanted, so why did he act like this? ”
Yuan Zhonghua had been by Gao Cheng's side for a long time, and knew that he was very disdainful of the emperor in private, and he didn't say anything. It's just that she suddenly found that in his eyes, she was still the Yuan clan, and this couldn't be changed no matter what.
Gao Cheng hit his chest angrily. Isn't he sincere enough to treat her? Isn't he enough to protect her? He lowered his head, "Your Highness can't help anyone when he sees him, so is it not up to him to be close to anyone?" He lifted his other hand and ran his fingers lightly across her lips.
Yuan Zhonghua's face slowly turned red. Whether she wanted to or not, Gao Yang did kiss her.
"Doesn't Your Highness know that he is my own brother?!" Gao Cheng shouted angrily.
"Isn't King Gao even able to marry his mother-in-law in order to win over the worms?" Yuan Zhonghua rushed out, without fear.
Gao Cheng nodded, "That's really the case...... Sure enough......" he sighed and asked patiently, "I had to do this in order to win over the Rouran forces. Then why is His Highness close to Hou Niyu? What was the idea of Hunni Yu beating His Highness? If it is only because of his affection for His Royal Highness, I will get together with His Highness and disperse, and re-invite the Lord to marry His Royal Highness to the Duke of Taiyuan and be the concubine of the Duke of Taiyuan. Hou Ni is my younger brother, even if it is not impossible to give him a prince. Her Royal Highness is still the princess. ”
Yuan Zhonghua endured the pain of tangled hair on the back of his head, and was forced to look up at Gao Cheng, and said with a sad smile, "King Gao can even change the emperor, let alone his own princess." King Gao probably wanted to give the title of this princess to the Yu Jiulu clan for a long time, right? said earlier that the concubine didn't want to be this princess in the first place. If Yu Jiulu's family wants it, the concubine will offer it with both hands. ”
For a while, looking at Yuan Zhonghua's meaning, he couldn't tell whether she didn't care about the princess's name or didn't care about him.
"Are you still jealous of her? She's never said you're not. Gao Cheng stared at Yuan Zhonghua.
This "she" naturally refers to moonshine.
Yuan Zhonghua didn't expect him to protect the moonlight so much. She couldn't figure it out anyway. sneered, "King Gao can do whatever he wants in the world, and the concubine has nothing to say, let King Gao dispose of it." "She didn't want to confess anymore. If he could really do something to give her to his brother, she would just fight to the death. I can't force her anymore when I'm dead.
Is this a default? Gao Cheng felt that he had been cornered by himself. He said it, but did he really want to force himself to give her to Gao Yang?
He couldn't bear to throw Yuan Zhonghua out, and regardless of her, he turned around and left.
Yuan Zhonghua didn't prevent him from being like this, and he was so ruthless, she was already exhausted to the extreme, and at this time, she couldn't help but be thrown backwards by Gao Cheng and slammed into the big bed.
Gao Cheng walked to the door and suddenly found that Yuan Zhonghua didn't make a sound at all. In a fit of rage, I finally couldn't help but look back. I saw Yuan Zhonghua lying on the ground, blood flowing down from his forehead, and he didn't know what to do.
My heart fluttered, although I didn't accept it, I still couldn't make up my mind after all, and called the slave and maid in.
The slaves and maids waiting outside had already heard the sound of the quarrel between the lord and the master mother inside, and they were all frightened like leaves in the wind, and no one dared to go in. At this time, he heard the call and rushed in to obey the order. I actually saw the main mother falling to the ground with blood flowing, and I was even more alarmed.
Gao Cheng ordered the imperial doctor to come, and saw that the slaves and maids had already helped Yuan Zhonghua to the big bed, so he walked out of the house.
It was already completely dark. Just as he was about to leave the courtyard, he saw a person coming towards him, called "Lord Lang" and knelt down.
He carefully identified that it was Ah Jiao.
"My lord," she bowed. She also knew that the noise was terrible, so she barely supported herself to come out. "For the sake of the eldest princess who is pregnant, please open up the king." Ah Jiao prostrated heavily on the bluestone ground.
Gao Cheng's heart sank heavily, his breathing was about to stop, staring at Ah Jiao who was kneeling in front of him.
