Chapter 1: Forcing the Palace
The crescent moon is like a hook, and the summer insects are crisp.
A few stars twinkled beside the cold moon, the breeze blew lightly, and the bedroom was filled with a faint aroma of rosemary.
Most of the candles in the palace are extinguished, and the dim light makes the night even more silent.
Gao Changle was dressed in an ink-colored brocade robe embroidered with golden python patterns, and his waist was tied with a black jade and gold-encrusted belt.
Although she is a woman, her stunning eyebrows are majestic and heroic.
Footsteps gradually sounded outside the hall, and by the faint candlelight, Gao Changle slowly saw the approaching figure clearly, "You're here." β
"Yes."
The person who came was dressed in a purple straight court suit, and the purple python pattern on his chest was vivid, and the sword eyebrows and eagle eyes revealed a bit of majesty.
The corners of Li Shao's thin lips opened slightly, "The eldest princess regent has made it clear that she will meet, if Weichen does not come, I am afraid that the princess will be disappointed." β
The palace people in Hehuan Palace retreated, most of the guards patrolling around them were removed, and even the candle flame only burned one inner room.
Gao Changle didn't relax his vigilance, but just wanted to find an excuse for Li Shao to come and meet.
"You hate Hongu?"
Gao Changle's voice was calm, looking at Li Shao's angular and handsome face, he spoke lightly.
The first emperor died in a hurry, and he had time to make an edict in the future.
Because of the struggle for the throne, her brothers killed each other, died and wounded, and in the end, only the five-year-old young emperor was left to pick up the omission and ascend the throne.
In order to stabilize Chaogang, and because of the exclusive favor of the emperor, Gao Changle successfully sat on the post of the eldest princess regent, and all the power in the court fell into her hands.
The Gao clan was naturally dissatisfied, and her group of imperial uncles even accused her of going into trouble and overstepping the rules, and wanted to oust her from power.
How could she?
Those ambitious imperial relatives and ministers who disobeyed her were either secretly executed by her, or they were suppressed and exiled.
Only...... Li Shao, the overseer of Dongchang, who was against her everywhere, was an exception, even if Li Shao disobeyed her will, Gao Changle never had any murderous thoughts against him.
Now, the young emperor has just died, and Li Shao has led people and soldiers to the city, supported the new emperor, forced her to hand over the jade seal of the country, and married him to fight against him?
"I don't hate." Li Shao's eyes were so deep that he couldn't see his expression clearly.
"But princess, after all, this Jiangshan surname is Gao, and after all, this throne must be sat by someone from the Gao family, you have already made a marriage with the prince of Qi, and in the future, you will change your surname to Qi."
In the past, because of the struggle for imperial power between the Gao family, they had to find a way to balance.
The ministers elected the five-year-old young emperor to the throne, and found Gao Changle as a regent to maintain it.
I didn't want Gao Changle to be ambitious and monopolize power, not to mention, he even made a marriage with the prince of Qi State.
The ancestors of the Great Wei were the retainers of the Great Qi family, and then the Great Wei who supported the army and founded itself, the Duke of Qi was the royal family of the Great Qi back then.
There is a blood feud between Gao Changle and Qi Wenyuan.
Even if it has been nearly a hundred years since the destruction of the country, the Duke of Qi is still honest, but it does not mean that after Qi Wenyuan becomes a concubine, it will be like this.
The word love is really harmful.
"Weichen doesn't hate you, it's just that his position is different from you, and his vision of things is also different, but no matter how different it is, it's for the sake of your Gao family."
"If you want to, the eldest princess, you only need to open the city gate and let Weichen's people come in, no matter who steps on the throne, you will always be the most favored eldest princess of Great Wei, and after Weichen marries you, he will also respect you and serve you."
Li Shao was very patient, his tone was very light, and he said these words unhurriedly, not only did he not feel ashamed at all, but he felt very strong.
Let her, the powerful princess regent, still make him a counterproduct, what can he think of?
Gao Changle was just about to scold coldly, but at the moment he raised his head, he vaguely saw the hideous scar on his left hand, and a vague memory came to his heart.
This was when he was thirteen years old, and Gao Changle said that he wanted to cook a bowl of soup for the emperor himself.
It's a pity that she knows how to use the kitchen, but she is still stubborn and refuses to use others to help, and finally almost burns the palace with a fire.
She was caught in the sea of fire, and it was Li Shao who desperately hugged her out of the sea of fire.
The hideous scar on the back of his hand was the one that had been left behind by the blackened and red beams that had been burned for her.
His gaze moved up his arm to Li Shao's arm, and no matter how luxurious the brocade robe was, I was afraid that he would not be able to erase the two little finger deep tooth marks.
It is not a human tooth mark.
It was fourteen years old in the hunting ground, Gao Changle encountered wolves by chance, it was Li Shaofen who protected her from the wolves without hesitation, but her arm was bitten by a wild wolf, and a lot of flesh was torn off, almost revealing the white bones.
Although it is good afterwards, it can never be eliminated.
There are more than one serious injuries like those on the arms and backs of the hands, and there are even countless of them.
And all this......
It's all thanks to Gao Changle.
Some of them were not intentional by her, and some of them were just something she wanted to embarrass Li Shao for a while, but Li Shao knew it......
But she still never complained, as long as she opened her mouth, she wanted the moon in the sky, and Li Shao would try her best to pick it back.
Gao Changle came back to his senses and laughed in a low voice, "You should know the temper of this palace." β
The eldest princess regent, who has been favored for most of her life, has always been a character who is the same.
Since she was a child, she has been pampered by the first emperor.
No one in the palace dared to brush off her orders.
After the death of the first emperor, she was in power, and if she failed to persuade her, she violently suppressed it, and no one dared to stand in front of her and threaten her, even if she was forced to the palace at this time.
Li Shaojian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the expression on his angular face was solemn, "I know." β
"That's why Wei Chen will come to ask the eldest princess in person, but are you willing to watch Da Wei's blood flow like a river? Even the last 30,000 cronies around you died? β
When the first emperor was alive, he favored Li Shao and single-handedly supported him to establish the East Factory.
The emperor's cronies, after the death of the first emperor, Gao Changle did not think about uprooting the East Factory, but unfortunately after several battles, Li Shao couldn't find half a flaw, so he had to give up.
The most he has done over the years is to ponder Gao Changle's thoughts, thinking about whether she is happy or lost when she frowns, and whether she is really happy or sneering perfunctory when she laughs.
Gao Changle's eyes were sharp, "You're not afraid that this palace will kill you." β
"Don't be afraid."
"You can't kill Weichen, and you won't kill Weichen."
In the past, Gao Changle had never had the intention of killing Li Shao when he was in power, but now that the soldiers are in the city, Gao Changle can't kill even if he wants to.
"You can think about it, but the throne is vacant, and I'm afraid it won't be delayed for too long."
Li Shao arched his hand, and his gaze fell on Gao Changle's face.
The first beauty of Dawei, and also the most noble woman of Dawei, looks like a fairy, beautiful and moving, especially the black eyes with spring in the eyes and the small corners of the lips slightly curled, delicate and charming.
It's supposed to be the age of a young girl, but she wants to look like an old man.
In fact, Gao Changle is only twenty-three years old this year.
Realizing that his gaze was a little arrogant, Li Shao withdrew his gaze and turned to retreat.
In front of the diamond flower bronze mirror on the red sandalwood tortoiseshell inlaid with colorful shell carved makeup, the woman's face is majestic and old, and there are a few silver hairs in the green silk of the sideburns.
When is the thing?
"That's fine."
"In the end, this palace owes you."
Gao Changle sighed lightly, and his body was not as stiff as before, and he faded his ink-colored python pattern official uniform and changed into a delicate crimson embroidered diamond flower dress that he wore in the boudoir before.
Looking at himself in the rhombic bronze mirror, he suddenly felt very relaxed.
That's what she's supposed to be at her age.
smiled at the rhombic bronze mirror, the girl was bright, her dark eyes were bent into a crescent, delicate and lovely, Gao Changle got up and went to the rosewood desk with a few strokes to draw up the phoenix decree and stamped it.
Suddenly there was a wind.
The hollow carved windows were blown shut and swayed, making a creaking sound, and the peach blossoms planted in the courtyard were blown off a ground of pink petals, which was very beautifulβ
Gao Changle couldn't help but sigh in his heart, afraid that it was going to rain.
Bai Aya is too ugly, and the dagger is too painful.
Poisoned wine comes faster.
The sound of rain began to sound outside the window.
Li Shao, who had not yet copied the verandah, paused when he heard the movement of the Hehuan Palace.
Seeing that the originally dark dormitory was instantly illuminated, his steps back couldn't help but quicken, and he seemed a little hurried, even on his face, which had always been unable to see the expression, was rarely panicked.
Gao Changle killed himself in Hehuan Palace.
Swarming.
