Chapter 140: The Great General Unintentionally Sow the Root of the Bane (1)
It seems that Gao Shen divorced his wife for this girl, and after the divorce, he may have had problems but did not marry her as a bride, and she hated her in her heart because of this. The wife who was divorced by Lieutenant Gao Shen of the Imperial History happened to be the sister of Cui Xian, a close confidant of the general Gao Cheng. Therefore, Gao Shen's marriage to the bride was interrupted, and he was suspected of having a close relationship with the general Gao Cheng.
But Yuan Zhonghua didn't know the relationship between them, nor did she know the whole story, and she didn't even know the people involved, so she still didn't understand what it meant. And what she heard was that this girl not only looked down on her brother and Emperor Yuan Shanjian, but even had a lot of resentment towards her husband, the general Gao Cheng.
"Little lady......" Kuye said half-seriously and half-tentatively, "Is it ......" She wanted to say something, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't seem to dare to say it.
"What do you want to say?" The girl doesn't seem to be a deep resentful woman, and she is quite good at thinking about advancing and retreating without being attached to one point. At this time, she had already collected her tears, but turned around and looked at the bitter leaf in confusion.
Her angle happened to allow Yuan Zhonghua to see her front. At this time, I don't like it, but I don't like it, but I still have a coquettish demeanor, and it is still very beautiful.
"If General Shizi is in the way and does not let Lieutenant General Gao marry the little lady as a bride, is it because General Shizi himself is interested in the little girl? I heard that the general of the prince was very ......," Kuye finally said boldly.
"Shut up!" Who knew that before the words were finished, he was immediately drunk by the girl. The girl turned her face away, not knowing what she was thinking. Yuan Zhonghua thought she would lose her temper, but who knew that she was silent. But these words made Yuan Zhonghua feel very uncomfortable.
"The little lady has never seen the prince general, maybe the prince has seen the little lady somewhere." Kuba continued. She is extremely confident in the girl.
Yuan Zhonghua couldn't listen anymore and turned around to leave. She was getting more and more uncomfortable, not only mentally uncomfortable, but also extremely unwell. I've been tired all day, and I've been fresh and excited for a long time just now, and now I feel very tired. Still out of breath, maybe it's a bit stuffy here.
"Don't say it, go back. What kind of general, but a child......" The girl didn't say any more. Kuye helped her up, and the two of them were about to come over to Yuan Zhonghua's side.
Yuan Zhonghua is in a big hurry.
At this moment, shouts and footsteps were heard getting closer and closer.
"The princess...... Your Highness...... Princess...... The princess ......" shouted more and more clearly.
Yuan Zhonghua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The girl and the bitter leaf were stunned.
Kuye didn't understand what was going on, but the girl seemed to suddenly understand, and took two steps forward, and when she faced the entrance of the tunnel, she was suddenly startled and saw Yuan Zhonghua. There was still a person in such a private place, which frightened her.
But she quickly regained her composure.
The girl also thinks that she is a beautiful woman, but the little girl she sees in front of her, who is not even called a little lady, makes her very piercing.
Of course, Yuan Zhonghua can't be said to be outstanding. Because there is no habit of extreme grooming, the clothes and accessories look very ordinary, and it can only be seen that the identity must be a high-ranking family, but there is no meaning of luxury and luxury. The girl had never seen such clear eyes, and they were as shallow as clear as a stream, and she could see the end at a glance. The kind of compassion she could see in her eyes was only seen in the eyes of the Buddha statues in the cave. The girl felt something strange in her heart. Who is this little girl?
"The princess!" When Ah Jiao rushed over and saw Yuan Zhonghua standing in front of her well, she immediately knelt down with weak legs, and couldn't stand up. "Your Highness...... The life of a slave is not worth anything, but if His Royal Highness has a mistake, how can the son of the world bear it? The tone of Ah Jiao's voice has changed, which shows how anxious she was just now.
At this time, there was only Yuan Zhonghua in her eyes, and she didn't see that there were two people behind Yuan Zhonghua at all.
"I just want to walk around alone, what are you anxious about?" Yuan Zhonghua couldn't bear to see Ah Jiao's appearance, and she helped Ah Jiao up with her own hands. "Behold, you have been as tired as I am today, and you have to arrange trivial matters, but I have been frightened by you."
Ah Jiao didn't dare to let the princess help her up, but fortunately, when she found the princess, she was relieved and got up. He couldn't help but say, "If Your Highness is loyal and diligent in the slave and maid, and wants to keep the slave and maid's life, don't go around alone." Otherwise, when the son of the world comes, the slave and maid will definitely lose their lives, and they will no longer be able to serve His Highness. ”
This is a child's words, but Yuan Zhonghua listened to it, pulling Ah Jiao's sleeve and refusing to let go, "Let's go back." She took a deep breath. She didn't look at the girl again, and after listening to the words between their master and slave just now, she couldn't have a good impression of this person.
Ah Jiao immediately saw that the princess was not very comfortable. When he was helping Yuan Zhonghua to leave, he suddenly saw someone behind Yuan Zhonghua and was shocked. Ah Jiao found out that there were two people behind Yuan Zhonghua, and one of them was actually a very beautiful girl who could be shocked.
"Who are you?" Ah Jiao frowned, and spoke a little unpolitely. She had already guessed in her heart that this might be the general's sister. At this moment, she only had the princess Yuan Zhonghua in her heart, but she didn't expect this official to meet the princess here.
The girl stood behind Yuan Zhonghua just now and listened to all of A's words. She is a very smart person, and when she heard the titles of "Your Highness", "Princess", and "Princess", she guessed Yuan Zhonghua's identity after coming and going and looking at her words. The real surprise was not Ah Jiao, but her. What she said to the slave maid Kuye just now was all that should not be said, and she couldn't let this princess hear it. The emperor is her brother, and the general is her husband, and almost all of the words she just said to Kuye are related to these two people. How could this person, who happened to be related to both of these people, hear it all in the dark?
"My little lady is the sister of the hussar general Li Zixiong." Not to be outdone, Kuba said to Ah Jiao. Although he didn't dare to be too arrogant, Kuye thought that he would never have to lower his status and flattery.
The Li clan of Zhao County is very high, and the father of the hussar general Li Zixiong is the late envoy, the general, the assassin of Shaanzhou, and the Bo Li Huibo of Gu'an County, and the Li clan is also a very well-established family. Although Kuye is smart, she is not as clever as the little lady after all, she only thinks that the little girl in front of her and the slaves and maids found by Ah Jiao and others are just the daughters of a clan. If she is a clan woman with a side branch, she doesn't need special courtesy.
Unexpectedly, Ah Jiao was not afraid at all when she heard the title of "Hussar General Li Zixiong", glanced at the bitter leaves, and saw that the girl also looked at her, so she spoke, "Princess Feng Yi, the prince of Bohai Wang, the wife of the general Gao Cheng, and the princess of the princess, is here, why don't you come to see you soon?" ”
The girl's heart sank. Bitter leaves were shocked. I thought that my family was a big family, but I didn't expect such an inconspicuous little girl to have such a reason. She glanced at the girl quietly and quickly lowered her head. Thinking about what they had just said between their masters and slaves, they immediately sweated like pulp and trembled all over.
The girl was still calm, and calmly greeted her, "Li Changyi met Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Yuan Zhonghua looked at Li Changyi, who fell down in front of her, and his heart was entangled several times. Thinking of what she just said, I can't have a crush on her anymore. But she didn't want to make a big noise, so she endured it and said, "You get up." The tone was very cold.
Li Changyi was ordered to get up, and Kuye also followed her.
Yuan Zhonghua didn't say a word to her again, and helped Ah Jiao to say, "Go back." Then he turned away.
Ah Jiao could see that the princess didn't like this Li Changyi. She never imagined that it was because Li Changyi and Kuye Master and Slave had just said something that should not be said and was heard by Yuan Zhonghua. But as long as the princess didn't like it, she naturally didn't like it either, so she didn't pay attention to Li Changyi and Kuye at the moment, and only helped Yuan Zhonghua to leave.
Li Changyi and Kuye watched their backs disappear completely, and then they turned around and walked towards the gate at the back of the Wa Emperor Palace.
Ah Jiao helped Yuan Zhonghua back to the courtyard. Yuan Zhonghua felt very tired after what happened just now, and he didn't even use dinner and slept in the quiet room arranged by Ah Jiao.
This time, Ah Jiao really didn't dare to leave again all night, so she kept watch in the house where the princess lived all night.
There is also a small courtyard built on the east side of the Wa Emperor Palace, which is very small, and there is a room like a bucket, which is really quiet, and there are no idle people coming in. Originally, this was the place where the abbot Bhikshu Hui Zheng usually handled affairs. Today, because the princess came, she didn't dare to let the princess live anywhere else, so she swept this quiet courtyard that was rarely used on weekdays for living.
Although Yuan Zhonghua was extremely tired, he didn't sleep quietly all night. One is that I have something on my mind, and the other is that I am still uncomfortable, and I always feel out of breath. It wasn't until almost dawn that I fell asleep. Ah Jiao was very anxious, and she didn't know if the prince had received the news, and she didn't see the prince order someone to pick up the princess.
Ah Jiao suffered all night, and when she saw that the princess was asleep, she quietly opened the door and walked out of the room. Suddenly I felt a chill hit me. In the mountains, the early hours of autumn are already very cold. Ah Jiao was thinly dressed, but she couldn't take care of herself, and carefully looked at the courtyard, and there was no one in the courtyard. The slaves and maidservants kept watch outside to prevent any strangers from entering. And the prince still did not send anyone.
In the early hours of the morning, the sky was still as dark as night, and the sky was full of stars. Ah Jiao was thinking that the princess didn't eat yesterday, and when she woke up after a while, she would prepare something for Yuan Zhonghua to eat. Suddenly, I heard a loud "bang" coming from the courtyard gate. Before she could react, there was already a figure who stepped in three steps and two steps quickly, followed by a fat man who was rushing towards her.
In an instant, Ah Jiao saw Shizi rushing to her with an angry face, still holding the whip of the horseback in his hand. She knew the temper of the prince best, and Ah Jiao was immediately frightened to the extreme, kneeling down and crying, "The son of the world is angry. She trembled, and she was really afraid that the prince would lose his temper and kill her immediately.
Cui Jishu, who finally caught up with him later, grabbed Gao Cheng. He was fat and inconvenient to move, so he chased so hard that he was panting and unable to speak at this time.
"Stupid minions, how dare you act so recklessly! What about Madame? Gao Cheng shouted angrily.
"The princess fell asleep in it and didn't wake up." Ah Jiao hurriedly replied.
Gao Cheng held the whip, and the hand that was about to be raised paused for a moment and slowly put it down. Hearing that Yuan Zhonghua was unharmed, he was no longer so impulsive.
At this time, Cui Jishu also took a breath and persuaded, "The prince just fell, let's see if there are any injuries first." ”
Ah Jiao was still kneeling on the ground and did not dare to get up, and at this time she began to worry about the slaves outside. When the son of the world is angry, I don't know what happened.
Gao Cheng ignored Cui Jishu and handed him the whip without looking. turned a blind eye to Ah Jiao who knelt in front of him. He stepped forward and opened the door to the hut and entered.
At the same time, on the back of the statue of Emperor Wa in the Wa Emperor Palace, where Li Changyi met Yuan Zhonghua last night, Li Changyi and the slave maid Kuye knelt in front of the picture of Fuxi Nuwa. Li Changyi was already ready to go down the mountain as soon as possible, so as not to meet the princess again if she left late. She was also arrogant, and she was already very embarrassed last night, and she didn't want to meet again.
Gao Cheng deliberately lightened his pace. The room was too small, and he could see Yuan Zhonghua looming in the gauze tent at a glance. staring at the people in the tent, he walked to the couch lightly and slowly, and couldn't help but immediately raise his hand to lift the gauze tent, and then sit on the edge of the couch.
Yuan Zhonghua was still in a dream at the moment, unaware of what was happening outside. I didn't hear the loud sound when her husband kicked in the door, I didn't hear Gao Cheng's angry shouting, and I didn't hear Ah Cheng's crying back. I didn't know that at this moment, her husband was sitting in front of her and carefully examining her sleeping appearance.
It was dawning, and there was no light in the room, and it was no longer dark, but it was still dim and I couldn't see. Gao Cheng could actually only see Yuan Zhonghua in his sleep, and he couldn't see it more clearly. But he could hear her long, even breathing. Seeing that she slept so peacefully, his heart also settled down, which was regarded as comforting his anxious and angry toiling along the way.
Sitting on the edge of the couch and staring for a long time, he raised his hand several times to caress her cheek, but he was afraid of waking her up, so he gave up. Seeing that Yuan Zhonghua had no signs of waking up, Gao Cheng walked out lightly again.
After a while, Cui Jishu and Ajiao, who were waiting outside, saw Gao Cheng come out. At this time, the sky was already bright, and Ah Jiao saw that the robe worn by Lord Lang was not only stained with mud, but also torn. Even the hair is a little messy. It must have been something happened on the way to Zhonghuang Mountain, so he was so angry. Or it was because he was in a hurry and worried that the princess had an accident on the road.
"The Wa Emperor Palace is on it, the prince is tired all night, why don't you go and rest for a while, and then go back to Yecheng together when the princess wakes up?" Cui Jishu asked.
Gao Cheng looked at the aunt on the ground and asked, "Who did Madame see yesterday?" There was a lot of confusion in this question.
Ah Jiao realized in her heart at this time, and hurriedly replied, "Madame only went to the Wa Emperor Palace yesterday to pay homage, and there were no outsiders. She gritted her teeth and concealed the meeting between Yuan Zhonghua and Li Changyi, the sister of the hussar general Li Zixiong, last night. Thinking that they are all women, it doesn't matter.
Gao Cheng raised his hand, meaning to let her get up.
Ah Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Madame, wake up, immediately go to the Wa Emperor Palace to report." Gao Cheng walked outside the courtyard, and Cui Jishu hurriedly followed behind him.
