Nan Qiao hurriedly knelt down and bowed down, "The slave is guilty of capital crimes, please forgive Lord Lang." Her voice trembled, obviously frightened. This was too much of a surprise to her.

Yu Wentai gasped slightly and looked at Nan Qiao on the ground, and then looked around the Buddhist hall. There was a lot of cigarette smoke, and there was no one among them except him and Nan Qiao. His big, dark eyes were chilled in an instant. His eyes turned left and right, and he stared back at Nan Qiao on the ground, "What about the eldest princess?" His voice grew cold. He was alone again, and even his wife was no longer waiting.

"Madame has something to say, and the special slave and maid will report back to the lord when he returns home." Nan Qiao lowered his head, his voice still trembling a little.

"Where's the eldest princess? Why not say it yourself? Yuwentai was slightly angry. She is his wife, he retreated from Pusaka under pressure, and accompanied the emperor in the Liangyi Hall for a long time, and when he returned home, he couldn't even see her shadow.

"Madame is not in the house, so the special slave maid left a reply." Nan Qiao knew that the prime minister was angry, and he was even more afraid.

"You look up." Yu Wentai suppressed his anger and commanded, finally forcing himself to calm down. Seeing Nan Qiao raise her head cautiously, she lowered her voice as much as possible and asked, "Where is the eldest princess?" ”

"Mrs. has been out of Chang'an, knowing that Lord Lang will definitely ask when he comes back, I am afraid that the letter will not be clear, so I ordered the slave to stay and return to Master Lang, and then go to find Mrs. Mrs. left only a few days ago, knowing that the war was decided, and the lord of Lang was unharmed, so she triumphed on the same day, and entrusted the eldest prince to Yao Ji, and there was no more worry. Mrs. asked Lord Lang to mourn for her, only saying that she had died of illness, and then she could marry Rouran and re-establish Princess Rouran as her wife. The lady did not allow the slave to tell the lord where she was going, and only hoped that the prime minister would be able to support the Son of Heaven in the future, guard the Great Wei River, and Zhongxing Sheji. Nan Qiao made everything clear about Yuan Yuying's confession word by word. Yuan Yuying walked cleanly, and a few days ago, it was rumored in the house that the eldest princess was already paving the way for her illness.

Yu Wentai couldn't ask a word. She didn't trust him so much, she didn't believe that he would rather not marry Rouran for her sake. Even if she wants to be friendly with Rouran, doesn't she believe that he will have another way? Or is it because she witnessed him kill Yuan Mingyue and abolish Yi Fu's family, and she no longer believes that there is still love between them? In her heart, he eventually became a cold-blooded and ruthless person. She answered all the questions he wanted to ask, gagged him, and even the young Dharani was ruthless enough to leave it to others, which showed that she was too stubborn in her determination to leave. Yu Wentai's heart hurt like a needle prick, and she didn't leave him a chance.

rushed back to Chang'an without sleep, and a corner of my heart was deeply looking forward to seeing her. When the truth was revealed, the fatigue accumulated for a long time struck him at once, and he had already borne too many things in his exhaustion, and at this time he suddenly felt that he could no longer bear it.

Nan Qiao has always been worried that Lord Lang will not stop if he doesn't ask about the whereabouts of the eldest princess, and he is worried that he won't be able to answer too many of his questions. imagined too many possibilities, but I didn't expect Lord Lang to let her leave without asking. Is the eldest princess too suspicious, or is Lord Lang already cold?

The sweet rosin incense burned out, but the cool bitter taste permeated the air for a long time. Yuwentai was the only one left in the Buddhist hall, and he suddenly felt a little cold. Turned around and went out, walked aimlessly, and unconsciously walked to the door of Yuan Yuying's bedroom, the door was closed.

Yuwentai suddenly thought, could she be inside? Encouraged by the thought, he immediately pushed the door open and walked in. It's just as cold, empty and cold. The furnishings are clean and tidy, and there is a kind of loneliness in everything in order, as if it has been lonely for a long time. He took off his cloak and threw it aside and went to bed, where did everyone go?

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror where she often sits, I suddenly thought that he had not combed her hair or painted her eyebrows, or even sat patiently and quietly to watch her make up. Her beautiful face once amazed him and made him feel moved when she first unveiled Yuhan, but since then she has gradually turned a blind eye. Because she is Yuan Xiu's eldest sister, because she is not the person in his heart. Because the heart belongs, I can no longer let go of others. Does she really know nothing? Or do you know but never intend to mention it? She is no longer the eldest princess who smiles and laughs confidently, saying that he is her person. Since he arrived in Chang'an, since he joined the Fuyue Army and supported the new Son of Heaven, she has followed him step by step, struggling to support the crisis in the entanglement. What she does may not be what she is willing to do, she tries her best to find a balance for the imperial family and the prime minister's mansion in the endless situation, but she never shows her body, she is just a deep lady in the back house of the prime minister's mansion.

Yu Wentai looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and took off his hood like a flying canopy. The mustache on his lips and chin was as lush as the sprouts of grass that broke through the ground in early spring, and the months of hard work made him see himself so strange in the bronze mirror, so haggard that he no longer knew himself. He was no longer the radiant Yuwen Black Otter.

Wearing a soap-edged white middle coat, lying on the couch. The pillow was cold, and I really didn't know how she survived the cold night after night. He suddenly understood that she was not really a religious believer, she just kept everything in her heart, and only that Buddha hall was a place where she could place her sustenance and avoidance.

Drowsiness soon set in, and Yuwentai's consciousness became blurred. The night he suddenly got up and slept with Gao Cheng. Gao Zihui, the shaft, should also return to Yecheng, right? In the first battle of Xiaoguan, the inner line of Western Wei won a big victory, but what did he win? There may be one thing that he just can't compare to Gao Zihui. He can always easily get the girl's like, but he himself never really cares, probably because he gets too much. Presumably, when he returns to Yecheng, he will not be so lonely as a person like him.

The spring in Yecheng is slow to come, and it is always shrouded in the spring cold that it is unclear when it will end. For many days, it was raining and snowing, and it was always dark clouds, and it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night. The defeat of the Eastern Wei army at Tongguan seems to be gradually gone. However, Emperor Yuan Shanjian was in a good mood, and he always feasted and drank in the palace with the clan and important ministers through the upcoming ceremony that had been clearly announced. It seems that except for the general Gao Cheng and the Gao henchmen behind him, no one cares about the defeat of Tongguan.

The opposite of the palace is the Great General's Mansion. Because the princess Yuan Zhonghua was frightened and prematurely born when she gave birth, and Yuan Zhonghua, who was the mother, was young and frail, the baby girl she obtained died soon after. After such a blow, coupled with the nightmare-like experience she encountered before giving birth, Yuan Zhonghua has been lingering on the sickbed from time to time. She didn't tell her husband Gao Cheng about Gao Yang's behavior in those days, but she never forgot it. In addition, Tongguan is newly defeated, and he worries about his husband day and night, which is a heavier burden in his heart.

Since the general Gao Cheng returned to Yecheng, it was very different from before the Western Expedition. Silent, lazy in everything, I have never seen him like this. Fortunately, his father, Gao Huan, the king of Bohai and the prime minister of the Great Minister, suppressed the foundation of the Gao clan in Jinyang, and his younger brother Gao Yang, the Duke of Taiyuan, kept Yecheng safe and sound during his westward expedition. As soon as Gao Cheng returned to Yecheng, Gao Yang was very measured and low-key and invisible, refusing to attract attention. Of course, the prestige of the general Gao Cheng naturally overshadows the Duke of Taiyuan, and it is not easy for Gao Yang to attract attention.

The princess Yuan Zhonghua woke up from her sleep and called out, "Ah." "Ah Jiao is her most caring and confidant person, and she always wants her to be by her side all the time.

Hearing the call of the princess, Ah Jiao instructed the slave maid to prepare for the princess's makeup, and at the same time lifted the curtain and walked into the inner bed. When he opened the bed tent and saw that Yuan Zhonghua had gotten up, he asked with joy in his heart, "Your Highness is better?" "It's rare for Yuan Zhonghua to have spirit.

Seeing that there was still light outside, Yuan Zhonghua asked, "What time is it?" He stroked the hair hanging down his shoulders very lightly, and said in a clear and honest voice, "I feel very good at this time." ”

Ah Jiao replied that it was past the sun, and then beckoned the slave maid to dress up the princess. Yuan Zhonghua let them serve, just sitting silently thinking about his thoughts. The heartbreak of thinking about the child has decreased day by day after many days, and the re-hearted matter is after the husband Gao Cheng returns to Yecheng. Obviously, he is also smiling, but he always feels that he is absent-minded. The few words are obviously preoccupied, but the emperor in the palace did not know that the newly defeated **** called banquets and safaris. The more silent Gao Cheng was, the more entertaining the emperor became, which made Yuan Zhonghua feel more uneasy.

Just after combing a bun, suddenly the slave hurriedly came in and returned, saying that the emperor had come to the general's mansion to visit the princess.

Yuan Zhonghua was extremely surprised. The decree was not promised in advance, and it was completely accidental by the emperor. The morning eclipse has passed, the evening eclipse has not arrived, noon has passed, and when the sun is setting in the west, I don't know how the emperor suddenly made such a decision, and came to the general's mansion so rashly.

"What about the son?" Yuan Zhonghua asked as he got up and put on his clothes.

"The prince is out of the city early in the morning," Ah Jiao helped Yuan Zhonghua put on his dress, and replied while thinking, "But it should be back soon." ”

When Yuan Zhonghua came out with people, her brother and Emperor Yuan Shanjian had already entered the back house, and the ceremonial driver had walked to the door of the courtyard where she lived.

"Why are you so neglectful of the Lord?" Yuan Zhonghua turned his head slightly unhappily and whispered to Ah Jiao who followed behind him. In fact, it was also unfortunate that the emperor was so out of shape and went straight to the inner house. Even the brothers and sisters are different from men and women, and I really don't know what happened to the emperor today.

"My sister is still looking good today, or the general is back, she must be considerate to her sister. Lonely is also here to visit you today. Yuan Shanjian had already entered the courtyard and walked in front of Princess Feng Yi and Yuan Zhonghua.

Fortunately, Lin Xingren, the regular waiter, is still more polite, and he waits outside with the eunuch.

Yuan Shanjian was smiling and in a good mood, but the smell of alcohol on his body was obvious. This made Yuan Zhonghua even more unhappy. Yuan Shanjian didn't know if he really didn't understand or if he didn't realize it, even if it was for his own sister, this was a little frivolous.

"When the Lord comes, the concubines are terrified." Yuan Zhonghua replied decently, his face slightly crimson, and he lowered his head slightly.

Yuan Zhonghua made a big salute, thinking that the emperor must be feasting in the palace again today, but he didn't know why he suddenly remembered to go out of the palace to the general's mansion.

Yuan Shan saw her kneeling in front of him, there were only a few pearls on her freshly combed bun and no jewelry, and she was still dressed in white and plain skirts. Yuan Zhonghua lowered his eyes and was silent, Yuan Shanjian saw her frowning slightly, and suddenly smiled again, "Lone and you can have today, thanks to the general's efforts to bear the ...... of the society" Yuan Shanjian stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.

Yuan Zhonghua looked up at the emperor in confusion.

Yuan Shan smiled when he met, as if he was listening with his eyes.

In fact, Gao Cheng has already walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw his concubine Yuan Zhonghua kneeling in front of the emperor after bowing. Yuan Zhonghua's sideburns and shoulders were like tassels, and his emaciated cheeks were particularly pitiful.

"The Great General is back?" Yuan Shan smiled first and then turned around, and sure enough, he saw Gao Cheng standing a little far behind him.

Gao Cheng's small crown tied his hair, and he was also plain and white-robed, and he was also thin.

"The minister Gao Cheng greets the Lord." Gao Cheng also bowed with a blank face.

"Get up, get up, it's really your closest flesh and blood, why should you be so polite in your private place?" The crimson robe worn by the emperor was particularly conspicuous.

Gao Cheng got up, watched Ah Jiao also get up, and then helped Yuan Zhonghua up. He was already very unhappy in his heart, after all, this was his private sleeping place, and the emperor should not have broken in so rudely.

Yuan Shanjian himself is also a beautiful man with bright eyes and bright teeth, and after drinking today, he looks even more red and white in the brightly colored silk robe on his body. On the white skin like buttermilk, the rouge color formed by the wine halo on the cheeks is particularly bright and moving. There is a bit of a clever smile and beautiful eyes between the words and smiles.

The beauty of Gao Cheng was originally a country and a city, which is really rare. But because I've been thin and my skin is too pale lately, I've lost my freshness. is overly thoughtful, too worried, always absent-minded, and lacks the bearing of talking and laughing in the past, which makes Emperor Yuan Shanjian have the upper hand.
