Before you know it, it's past the corner, and it's the time when the sun is at its hottest. Out of the Tai Chi Hall, the air outside was almost scorched to the point of smoke. Coming out of the temple is like rushing into a furnace.

Gao Cheng was already uncomfortable, and he was angry just now, and at this time, everything was temporarily over, and he was slightly relieved. The whole person slacked off, and even his body softened.

"Ah Hui." Cui Jishu had already seen that he couldn't support it, and wanted to come up and support him.

But Gao Cheng still pushed Cui Jishu away unappreciatively and walked to the bottom of the jade steps by himself. Cui Jishu had no choice but to come along.

By this time, the clearing was empty. I don't know how Huashan Wang Yuandaqi was hanged here just now.

Gao Cheng suddenly felt nauseous, he held his stomach, turned around and grabbed Cui Jishu, and ordered breathlessly, "Quickly order someone to pass the order of the imperial doctor." ”

Cui Jishu really changed color now. Just as he was about to summon someone, he suddenly saw a few palace maids who didn't know when they came to him.

Gao Cheng recognized it as Gao Yuanjun's slave Xiaohu.

Xiaohu also saw that Gao Cheng was unwell. And she came to invite King Gao to go to Jiaofang Hall on the order of the queen.

Gao Cheng had difficulty leaving the palace for a while. Cui Jishu thought about it carefully, and only the Jiaofang Hall in this palace was a relatively safe place.

The atmosphere in the Jiaofang Hall has always been very strange.

Obviously, they have their own agendas, but they all pretend to be relaxed. It's just that some people pretend to be very similar, and some people are really not good at it.

Fortunately, Empress Gao Yuanjun and Duchess Li Zu'e of Taiyuan are both pregnant. In this way, others have something to talk about. But in fact, none of the four were talkative people, so the silence in the Jiaofang Hall was a little embarrassing.

Gao Yang didn't talk much almost all the time, sitting in the distance and watching his sister, wife, and eldest sister-in-law gathered together, three women who were all related to him.

His eyes glanced at Yuan Zhonghua from time to time, as if he always wanted to find something out of her.

Yuan Zhonghua never glanced at Gao Yang from beginning to end.

When Xiaohu came to report that King Gao in the Taiji Hall had completely clashed with the kings of the clan with his own strength, and it was so serious that he ordered someone to hang Huashan Wang Yuandaqi, Queen Gao Yuanjun couldn't sit still anymore.

She didn't understand why the eldest brother and the emperor and clan of the Yuan clan suddenly reached the point where they were incompatible, and you lived and died.

Yuan Zhonghua was the most obviously absent-minded person, and at this time he was completely distracted. But she talked almost as little today as she didn't, she wasn't interested in anything, and she was lazy.

Gao Yang noticed that although Yuan Zhonghua was distracted, he didn't pay so much attention to the news related to Gao Cheng, which was also quite strange.

The imperial doctor's order came faster than Gao Cheng, and he waited in the Jiaofang Hall first.

Seeing the imperial doctor, Gao Yuanjun was the first to be anxious. At this time, she must not lose the support of her eldest brother again. has just lost her father, if she folds her eldest brother again, who will be the backer for her and the child in her womb?

Yuan Zhonghua saw that Gao Cheng was helped in by the palace maid, but he stood aside and refused to approach.

Gao Cheng was helped to the big bed that had just been vacated. The slave and maid helped to remove the crown of heaven from their heads, and then lay down with help.

The imperial doctor checked the pulse, looked at the complexion, and asked a few more words. Actually, the problem is easy to solve. It's just that the fire inside is too strong, and the eating disorder is unbalanced. I don't pay attention to drinking too much cold things. After a moment of cold and heat, and anger in case of trouble, I was stimulated too much, and finally my body couldn't bear it.

The queen asked a few words, and the imperial doctor ordered a prescription to decoction of medicine. But it's all cold and anti-surface things.

The queen first had something to ask Cui Jishu, eager to know the scene in the Taiji Palace. How the hell did it get to this point?

Of course, Gao Yang was more concerned about the affairs in the Taiji Palace. This is exactly what he wants.

Moonlight was inconclusive, and she also went out behind her husband.

Only Yuan Zhonghua was left in the hall, and it was not left that he left. It is inconvenient for her to openly leave her sick husband behind and go out by herself. They can only stay in the temple.

Gao Cheng, who was lying on the big bed, didn't know whether he was unconscious or asleep, and kept his eyes closed. Even so, my eyebrows are slightly locked, and I don't know what I'm worried about.

Yuan Zhonghua sat on the low banquet bed next to the big bed. She was so close to him that she felt like she couldn't reach him. There was a faint smell of alcohol on him. He was actually summoned to the Taiji Hall to see her brother, Emperor Yuan Shanjian.

At this moment, his crown was removed, and his head rested on a golden pillow. You can see the sweat stains on his forehead. Even the shredded hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to his forehead. Gao Cheng, who was pale, sucked very steadily, but the color of his lips was extraordinarily bewitching, which seemed a little abnormal.

She saw a scratch on his sleeve, which was very glaring. It's hard to imagine what he had just done in the Taihe Palace. also thought of what Taiyi Ling said just now, what was he sick like? What kind of burden can you bear so much to care for yourself?

Slowly, my heart became clearer.

In the past, he was in front of her, so she could not know anything and not care about anything. Yuan Zhonghua's heart seemed to be blocked.

His current affairs have nothing to do with her.

Gao Cheng's body moved, changed his posture, and blurted out a soft "moonlight". He didn't open his eyes, as if it was a very natural habit.

Yuan Zhonghua was hit by his call, and his heart was heavy and sullen. She slowly stood up and walked outside.

It just so happened that Li Zu'e, the Duchess of Taiyuan, walked in.

Yuan Zhonghua said that he was not feeling well, so he walked out of the Jiaofang Hall to bid farewell to the queen.

Li Zu'e looked at Gao Cheng lying on the big bed without knowing it, and then looked at Yuan Zhonghua who left without looking back, she really felt strange.

Li Zu'e hesitated for a moment, but still walked over to the big bed. Before he got closer, he heard Gao Cheng call, "Your Highness...... His Royal Highness ......, "The intermittent overlapping calls made Li Zu'e even more confused.

She subconsciously turned around to see if Yuan Zhonghua was still there and if he would come back. Unexpectedly, I turned around and saw that my husband Gao Yang didn't know when he came in, and he was standing behind her. This silence frightened the moonlight to the core.

Gao Yang came over to support her.

"Moonlight ......" At this time, Gao Cheng called again.

Gao Yang and Li Zu'e froze.

When Gao Cheng woke up, there was only one brother and one sister by his side.

The sun fell, and even if the Jiaofang Hall covered the windows with glass, the hall was darkened.

When Xiaohu saw that King Gao had woken up, he ordered all the lamps to be lit. I went to bring the medicine that was decocted by the Imperial Doctor Ling to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng was half-lifted and leaned on the crypt sac. I was a little dizzy at first, probably because I had been lying down for too long. But because I slept for a long time, the feeling of stomach pain finally passed.

There is a kind of tiredness full of lightness. Without hesitation at all, he picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all. Looking at the way he frowned, he knew that the smell of this medicine must be extremely unbearable.

"The eldest brother has woken up, I really scared the eldest brother." The rope bed where Gao Yuanjun sat was placed next to the big bed. Although the rope bed was relatively comfortable to sit on, it was really hard for her to sit motionless and watch over her brother for an hour.

Gao Yuanjun's eyes were red.

Gao Yang sat on the other side of the big bed opposite his brother, just a little farther away. He didn't speak, but when he saw Gao Cheng still holding an empty medicine bowl in his hand, his eyes scanned the hall and he knew what he meant.

Gao Cheng vaguely remembered that when he first arrived at the Jiaofang Hall a few hours ago, he seemed to see Yuan Zhonghua here. But now there is no shadow of her, could it be that he is mistaken?

The slave took the bowl and replaced it with the water in it. Then he knelt in front of the big bed and held the gargle in his hand.

Gao clarified the unacceptable taste of the medicinal juice in his mouth before he was in the mood to speak.

At this time, the slaves and maidservants retreated into the distance. And the palace is full of the queen's henchmen.

"My sister doesn't have to worry, just give birth to the child with peace of mind. At this point, although I can't make too good ideas, he will go, but fortunately, I have been prepared. Gao Cheng is still a little weak even when he is hungry and tired.

Gao Yuanjun didn't expect that the eldest brother would be the first to comfort her, but he was a little flattered. She knew in her heart that her eldest brother's feelings for her were far inferior to those for her eldest sister, Empress Yongxi. But the tone was clearly to see her interests as common, and she was content.

But Gao Yuanjun just nodded in agreement, she didn't quite understand what the eldest brother meant by "let him go". He also said that he had been prepared for a long time, did he really plan to completely break with the emperor and the clan? So how can we talk about preserving her?

"The eldest brother hasn't established a concubine yet, do you want to establish the Yu Jiulu clan?" Gao Yuanjun asked cautiously.

At this time, Gao Yuanjun of course hoped that Princess Gao would be the eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua. Only in this way can the Yuan clan and the Gao clan be tied together again. This is good for her.

Gao Cheng was silent.

His silence looked like hesitation in Gao Yuanjun's eyes, and her heart immediately lifted. She felt that if the eldest brother hesitated, it would not be because he was dissatisfied with the eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua, but because he wanted to alienate Yuan Zhonghua's brother, her husband, and Emperor Yuan Shanjian.

"Speaking of which, Rou Ran is now the eldest brother's biggest helper. Especially the affection between the prince of Shuofang and the eldest brother. Gao Yang suddenly answered. Instead of trying to please people with uncertain minds, the eldest brother should tie up the affectionate and righteous people more firmly. ”

Gao Yang's words made Gao Yuanjun stunned in his heart. She raised her head and looked at her second brother Gao Yang in surprise, and her heart was dissatisfied.

Gao Yang's opinion is obvious, and he must support Gao Cheng and Rouran to get closer. The identity of Concubine Gao can't please Yuan Shanjian and the Yuan clan, and the gap itself is too deep, and the Yuan family may not appreciate it. It's better to make the relationship between Rouran Khan and Bald Tujia more solid.

Gao Cheng raised his head, ignored Gao Yang, and looked at Gao Yuanjun and said decisively, "Why does the queen ask that?" The concubine of this king must be the eldest princess, and the son must also be Bodhi. This king never thought about anyone else. ”

Gao Yuanjun finally put his mind at ease. But I don't dare to be completely reassured. He said that he "never thought about it", but in fact it just proved that he did.

Gao Cheng didn't plan to say what he wanted to say to Gao Yang and Gao Yuanjun. He woke up now and felt that it was a bit too much to be in the Taiji Hall today. Too impatient, too irritable. It wasn't time for him to clean up his internal troubles.

Although he also felt that his father was too tolerant of the emperor and the clan when he was alive, so that they repeatedly made trouble and had a lot of thoughts. But now is not a good time after all, Hou Jing is the big trouble in front of him.

He decided to immediately set up a concubine and a son with great fanfare. This can be regarded as an attitude of goodwill towards the emperor and the clan. I believe that Yuan Shanjian and Yuan Hui will not dare to do anything immediately.

Gao Cheng was much better at this time, sat up, and then got off the big bed.

"Hou Niyu, you don't have to worry about it, I know you think about me in your heart, it's for my good." Gao Cheng approached Gao Yang.

Gao Yang hurriedly stood up and called "big brother".

Gao Cheng waved his hand and motioned for him not to speak, but to listen to him. He knew what Gao Yang would say. is nothing more than being loyal to his brother, so he can't see the emperor and the clan rampant. But these words are not suitable for now. If he sat back and watched Gao Yang and Gao Yuanjun have a conflict, it would really be no good at all now. So he's going to stop him.

He pressed Gao Yang's shoulder and told him to sit back steadily. He himself walked away briskly, paced a few more steps, and then turned to Gao Yang again, "I've figured it out." Hou Jing is a scourge, and it is not necessarily a good thing to keep him. It's better to let him do harm to others. ”

Gao Yang was surprised.

"Hou Niyu, I may have to go to Yuzhou in a few days. Once upon a time, when I was on an expedition, it has always been your town and auxiliary capital. Now that my father has passed away, we are the only brothers who are of the same mind. ”

Gao Cheng said very earnestly.

This time, Gao Yang quickly reflected, and couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "Don't worry, big brother." What is light and what is heavy, Hou Ni knows it, and he will definitely live up to his big brother. ”

When it was completely dark, a slave was sent by Gao Cheng to deliver something to Yuan Zhonghua.

Ah Jiao didn't know what was going on, but she was very happy in her heart.

When she brought the delicate lacquer box and opened it in front of Yuan Zhonghua, both of them were surprised.

It's the golden hairpin.

That day, Yuan Zhonghua threw the little emerald golden hairpin in the study.

She never went to Gao Cheng's study again. I don't think I'll ever go in the future.

Deliberately no longer think about the hairpin.

Unexpectedly, Gao Cheng ordered someone to send it back.

It's like cutting off all Yuan Zhonghua's thoughts. There's really no connection between them at all. Is it just gradually estranged?

Sure enough, not long after, Gao Cheng, the prime minister and king of Bohai, announced that Yuan Zhonghua, the eldest princess of Feng Yi, would be appointed as a concubine. At the same time, it was also announced that Liyuan Zhonghua's only son, Xiaolangjun Gao Xiaowan, was the son of the king of Bohai.

The ceremony of establishing a concubine and a prince was held successively, and its grandeur made the entire Yecheng in an uproar. At the gate of King Gao's mansion, there is an endless stream of people coming and going. The emperor's rewards, as well as the congratulatory gifts sent by the ministers of the clan and the nobles of the high gate, entered the palace of the high king, and the number of rooms occupied was full of Yingting.

The happiest person is actually Gao Yuanjun, the queen in the Jiaofang Palace, even if she is about to give birth, she still can't help but arrange a palace banquet to celebrate her eldest sister-in-law. Naturally, there are people who follow suit.

Yecheng finally calmed down temporarily. It's as if nothing had happened. But those in the know find it a little strange to say anything. Huashan Wang Yuandaqi died silently, and no one mentioned this person again. It was as if the man had never existed in the world.

Emperor Yuan Shanjian, as well as King Yuanhui of Jibei, as well as the kings of the clan, have all returned to their former appearance. It seems that the matter of the Taiji Hall that day has always been a dream.

However, Hou Jing in Yuzhou became more and more uneasy.

After his silk book was issued, he didn't expect it to be like this, as if he punched into the cotton, silently. At first, he thought it would be a shock to the world, but now he realized that he was naïve.

Hou Jing's heart was full of encouragement and resentment towards himself. It turned out that everyone despised him in their hearts. Whether it is Emperor Yuan Shanjian, King Yu Wentai of Chu in Western Wei, or Emperor Xiao Yan and Prince Xiao Gang of Southern Liang. He didn't take what he said as important. It is precisely because of his contempt that what he says does not play an important role.

Hou Jing suddenly felt that he had become a joke. Not only did he not be able to be angry and the world was afraid, but he became the laughing stock of the world.

Where to go so far has really become a problem for Hou Jing.

He is Wei Chen, but can he still gain a foothold in Great Wei?

He went to Yuwentai, who welcomed him on the surface and refused to accept him secretly, without any intention of accepting him. It seems that he is not as good as Gao Zhongmi in front of Yuwentai. This made Hou Jing even more angry.

As for Nan Liang, he didn't want to think about it unless he had to. Those families of the Southern Dynasties may not even be able to hold their emperor high in their hearts, let alone that he was born in a northern dynasty town?

He can be subdued, he can overwhelm people. But he also understands that there is no way to refuse and look down on him in his heart. remembered that when he went to Jiankang with Gao Cheng, he was ridiculed when he entered the Liang Palace, and he hated it so much that his teeth itched. He hated both Gao Cheng and the people of the Southern Dynasties.

Since he was still a hero in the Battle of Bishan in Wei and also had his own sphere of influence, Hou Jing decided that it would be better not to move for the time being. (To be continued.) )
