After Lou Zhaojun left the palace, he did not go directly to Zhu Shilong, the prince of Leping County, but returned to the mansion first. At that time, Gao Huan was drinking with Sima Ziru and Sun Teng, and when he saw that Lou Zhaojun seemed to have something to say, he got up and came out and asked, "What happened when Madame entered the palace?" ”

Lou Zhaojun took out the jade pendant, Gao Huan looked at it and understood in his heart, "The queen wants you to tell the county prince not to tell the king of Taiyuan about the affairs in the palace?" ”

"My husband guessed right, so I'll come back first and ask my husband about his plans?"

Gao Huan smiled slyly and smiled at Sima Ziru inside, "What if it is Ziru's brother?" ”

Sima Ziru touched his beard and paced out, looking like he was ready for everything, "My lord already knows in his heart, why do you need to ask me again, since the lynx wants to fight the tiger, why don't I sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." It is expected that the Tianzhu General won, and it will not be damaged by us, but if he is counterattacked, the situation will be different. ”

Lou Zhaojun looked at the longing in Gao Huan's eyes, "My husband has great ambitions, but I am a bird, and I can't see my husband's vision." ”

Gao Huan stretched out his hand and gently held Lou Zhaojun's hand, his eyes were infinitely gentle, "Zhaojun, no matter how far my ambitions are, I am just your Lou Zhaojun's husband, and when you marry me, I swear that you will be glorious for a lifetime." I want you to one day stand on the highest place in a beautiful costume and look down on everything under your feet, instead of being frightened and wronged by me every day. The matter of jade pendant, you leave it to your husband, and it is enough to take care of a few children at home with peace of mind. ”

Lou Zhaojun hesitated, she knew what Gao Huan wanted to do, the hand holding the jade pendant clenched a little, she stared at Gao Huan's eyes, the unpredictability in her dark eyes made her faintly worried, "What does the husband want to do, Zhaojun will never ask more, but this time Zhaojun wants to know, is the husband sure?" The husband often educates Cheng'er that they are entrusted with loyalty, but now is it to make Zhaojun rebel and break his trust? ”

Sun Teng saw that the husband and wife were deadlocked, and Sima Ziru was the person who liked to be left and right the most, so he could only speak, "Madam, educating children is only a great truth, and it is the duty of a human being." If the lady blindly solidifies the old words, she will be conformist. Things are easy to change, now that the time has come, if you miss it, it will also go against the original intention of Mrs. to get married, isn't Mrs. just waiting for the day when Mrs. Gao will make a blockbuster? ”

Lou Zhaojun ignored Sun Teng's words, she looked at Gao Huan intently and asked, "I only ask you, has your husband already thought about it?" If things don't go the way your husband wants, will your husband regret his decision today? ”

Gao Huan understood that Lou Zhaojun had already supported herself, and just wanted an answer, an answer that reassured her, "Don't worry, my wife has always understood what she does, why is she confused now, ask me this question." Madame rest assured, since the arrow is on the string, there is a tendency to draw the bow, there must be a bull's-eye in front of it, and it will never miss. ”

Looking at Gao Huan's determined eyes, Lou Zhaojun knew that he had made up his mind, so he didn't say more, handed the jade pendant into his hands, turned around and saluted Sun Teng and Sima Ziru, and led Su Mian around the corridor and back to his house.

Sima Ziru clapped her hands and smiled, "Madame is really a virtuous helper of an adult, and having a virtuous wife like this is like a tiger with wings." ”

Gao Huan looked at Lou Zhaojun's distant back, and pinched the jade pendant in his hand, "I don't want her to be like this, she does too much, but it dilutes the fun between husband and wife. ”

Sima Ziru understood and did not continue the topic, but Sun Teng stepped forward and said, "My lord, if you can rest assured, your subordinates will go to Jinyang tonight, and they will not fail in their mission." ”

Gao Huan glanced at Sun Teng and put the jade pendant sleeve into his arms, "You don't need a token to go to Jinyang, you can go to the Leping County Mansion first." Er Zhurong is scheming and elusive, and it is most suitable for Ziru to go to Jinyang. He looked at Sima Ziru meaningfully, "That is already a waste chess, you can give it up, and you still have to work hard for Ziru brother." ”

Sima Ziru pointed at his mouth in his chest and said, "Brother Gao, don't worry, everything is in my three-inch tongue." ”

Sun Teng also continued, "Don't worry, my lord, everything is on my subordinates." ”

Gao Huan saw that everything was safe, so he said goodbye to Sima Ziru and Sun Teng, and returned to the house to appease Lou Zhaojun, only to see her lying on the couch and pretending to sleep. He approached gently, sat down on the edge of the couch, and looked carefully at the wife in front of him who accompanied him to live in a fixed place, the once bright face has revealed the vicissitudes of life, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes seem to tell the worries of these years, she is uncomfortable, and even her breathing is not so even. He held her hand tightly, and felt a little rough, and couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, in countless turbulent and uneasy days, this former aristocratic lady made clothes for him, cooked delicacies, and even once when there was a shortage of military supplies, she went alone to the mountains to catch the snake she was most afraid of in her life, just to make him a bowl of soup. After so many years, Gao Huan felt a trace of guilt for his heart for other women, he lowered his head and kissed Lou Zhaojun's forehead, Lou Zhaojun's eyebrows frowned, but he still didn't want to open his eyes. Gao Huan continued to kiss down her cheek, and after stopping at her lips for a while, he covered it, the red lips were still soft, but he found that he had lost his previous impulses. He was a little surprised in his heart, and the action stopped for a few seconds, this subtle action was discovered by Lou Zhaojun, who was immersed in enjoyment, she slowly opened her eyes, gently pushed Gao Huan away, pulled over the pillow and leaned back, and looked at her husband quietly, but did not say a word.

Gao Huan was even more heartbroken by her, and when he wanted to cover it up with affection, he found that Lou Zhaojun was no longer moved, so he had to sit up straight, "Madame, is she tired?" It was for the husband to disturb the lady's rest. ”

Lou Zhaojun looked at Gao Huan without saying a word, the silence made the air stagnate, Lou Zhaojun was afraid of such a feeling, she thought of Ying'e's withering and melancholy. After a while, she broke the tranquility, "It's just that I feel a little distressed when I see the queen, and my husband is afraid that he will be in the same mood after seeing it." ”

Gao Huan stretched out his hand and hugged Lou Zhaojun into his arms, "You are thinking about it again, you have a deep relationship with the queen, and you feel distressed when you see it, how can you involve your husband, but it is not a violation of the Gangchang etiquette law." ”

"If you don't say anything about your husband's thoughts, who can you deceive? It's just that she is the queen of a country, and she is still the eldest daughter of the Great General of Tianzhu, I am just afraid that you will hurt yourself. The queen's country is fragrant, even if I see it, I can't help but want to take a few more looks, the so-called fair lady, the gentleman is good, I am really not jealous. Lou Zhaojun leaned on Gao Huan's arms and said quietly, but her eyes began to fog, she closed her eyes tightly, restraining herself from crying.

"What do you want to say? It's really a lady who thinks too much, it's enough for me to have a lady in this life, don't talk about the queen's respect, I don't dare to think about it as a courtier, even the concubine room that can be obtained everywhere is absolutely unwanted. Mrs. treats me like a mountain, but also as deep as the sea, if it is not for Mrs. to marry, give me a good horse, how to have Gao Huan at this time, I am still there guarding the city wall to spend the light *** People don't think too much, hurt the love of you and my husband and wife, if Mrs. does not believe, Gao Huan swears here. After speaking, Gao Huan raised his left hand to swear to the sky, and as soon as he spoke, "I, Gao Huan, swear to the sky today... ”

Lou Zhaojun hurriedly covered his mouth, "Husband, don't make a vow, it makes me panic." ”

Gao Huan held Lou Zhaojun's hand covering his mouth and kissed it gently, "Silly girl, you can do it if you say it, but I'm afraid that you won't believe it." It's enough to have you in this life, so how many more children will you give me? After speaking, Gao Huan untied Lou Zhaojun's shirt and kissed along his cheek, the curtain slid down, and he could only hear a soft moan.

——————————————————————————————

It is said that Sun Tengzhi went to the Leping County Mansion to see Er Zhu Shilong in person, and told Er Zhu Shilong about the queen's situation. Sent Sun Teng out of the mansion and went directly into the palace to face the saint, Yuan Ziyou avoided it, and the angry Erzhu Shilong Taiji Hall scolded loudly, and was carried back to the mansion by Yuan Ziyou Xi Yi with a random stick, which completely intensified the contradiction. After Er Zhu Shilong returned home, he was angry, and he repaired a letter to send someone to Jinyang, but the messenger was killed by Gao Gao halfway, and since then Luoyang City is allowed to enter but not leave, and no longer leaks any news to the outside.

Yuan Yu was puzzled when he heard this, and entered the Taiji Hall at night to meet Yuan Ziyou, and near the palace gate, he saw Yuan Hui, Li Yu, Wen Zisheng, Yang Kan, Gao Daomu and others were already in the palace. Yuan Yu already understood the three points, and Yuan Ziyu saw that he was too conservative and did not plan with himself. He stood outside the hall, suddenly not knowing whether to enter or leave, at this time Zhang Haosong came out from the inside, and passed the Yuanzi Yousheng decree to order him to enter.

Yuan Yu entered the house to salute, and Yuan Ziyou had already spoken, "If King Linhuai doesn't come, I still want to invite, now that the east wind has come, the plan can be done." ”

Yuan Yu was frightened, but he didn't know who he was, so he asked carefully, "I don't know what the emperor wants to tell his ministers to do?" ”

Yuan Ziyou smiled slightly, pointed at Gao Mu and said, "Lord Gao, you can inform King Linhuai of your plan." ”

Gao Daomu said, "Yes, Your Majesty." King Linhuai, the emperor knows that you are here today for the queen's entry into the cold palace, and the emperor also pities the queen for being pregnant with Liujia, and he must not really blame him, not to mention that the little girl is not pregnant. ”

Yuan Yu was shocked, "What, Lord Gao is saying that the concubine has a miscarriage and the queen is deposed, all of this is a strategy?" ”

Yuan Hui, Li Yu and the others looked at each other and smiled, Gao Daomu continued to answer, "But this is the case, although Zhu Rong is as powerful as the sky, the heart of disobedience is written on his face, lest the world do not know." It's just that now after he pacified Ge Rong, begged Guan Long, and chased Yuan Hao, he marked Danqing for his military exploits, and he is the father of the queen, so he needs to give an explanation to the world in the country and his feelings. The harem competes for favor, the queen loses her morality, the sister commits murder, and the prince is brutalized, and the country is intolerable, and heaven is intolerable. At this time, after the abolition, one can block the people of the world and calm the hatred of the royal family, and the other is that with this reason, he will be able to provoke the anger of Zhu Rong, but since the emperor took power, he has never entered Beijing, how easy is it to move him in his territory, and the queen's affairs will be able to lead him to ask for guilt. Third, after the success of Zhu Rong, the emperor and queen are centrifuge, and the queen is not suitable to remain in this position. Only because the king of Linhuai is kind, so he did not inform in advance, now that the matter is ready, and the king of Linhuai needs to do another thing, he can put it as if it is in his hand, and his hand will be caught. ”

Yuan Yu saw that Yuan Ziyou had made up his mind, so he no longer persuaded him, after all, the massacre of Heyin was the pain of all the Wei royal families, relatives were killed, power was seized, and the pain of fleeing to other countries was vividly remembered. He arched his fist and said, "The minister dares to ask the emperor whether he wants to punish one person, or Zhulian Nine Clans?" ”

Yuan Hui said with a smile, "The emperor is merciful, as long as Er Zhurong and Yuan Tianmu are killed, as long as the rest are willing to continue to serve my Great Wei, they can be exempted from capital crimes." ”

Yuan Yu saw that Yuan Ziyou only needed to kill the thief leader, but he let go of his minions, and there would be endless troubles. He wanted to speak out, but he knew that he was soft-spoken, and his words were far less weighty than Yuan Hui, and since it was agreed, it was Yuan Ziyou's permission, and it was inconvenient for him to say more, so it was better to do his part and solve problems for Yuan Ziyou, "Wei Chen but with the emperor's orders, he will not hesitate to go to the soup and go to the fire." ”

Yuanzi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and laughed, "Okay, if King Linhuai helps, why worry about this matter?" ”

Yuan Yu asked, "I don't know what Weichen needs to do?" ”

Li Yu stepped forward and said, "The emperor knows that King Linhuai and Xu Su have old friends, but this person's whereabouts are uncertain, and only the prince can find him." The emperor means that since Er Zhurong firmly believes in the Mandate of Heaven, it is better to let Xu Su send him a Mandate of Heaven, and the moth fights the fire, isn't it that ray of light? ”

Yuan Yu suddenly said, "Since the separation of Liang Guo, Brother Xu has been guarding the soul of his deceased wife, and he has been near the former residence of Yaoguang Temple, and he has never gone far. Just because he doesn't want to get involved in this political dispute anymore, he has been rumored to be still living in Liang State, and now it is for Zhu Rong, I think Xu Su will not refuse, after all, the Empress Dowager Hu treats her as kind as a mountain, and it must be his life's wish to avenge the Queen Mother. Please rest assured, the emperor will go immediately, and he will bring the emperor's intentions. ”

"Well, I didn't expect this Xu Su to still stay in Luoyang, so good, it was really not delayed. King Linhuai, you immediately leave the palace and tell him that if this matter is successful, I will give him a golden coupon to avoid death, and the high-ranking officials will be generous. ”

Although Yuan Yu knew that Xu Su was now fame and fortune, but it was difficult to say at the moment, after resigning Yuan Ziyou, he rushed to the bamboo house that had been renamed Forget Worries overnight, knocked on the bamboo door, and the door was opened by a teenager. ”

Yuan Yu smiled with relief and instructed his entourage to hold a box of gold, "What else does your father have to count now, or not, I have come for nothing." Zi Chang, after this matter is over, you can find another place, and this silver will be enough for you to buy land. ”

Xu Su's son Zichang respectfully declined, "Thank you for your kindness, my father has already arranged a place for my son, gold and silver are now just a hard thing for my father and son, and I am afraid of being remembered by others. The prince asked him back, and the son left with the spiritual positions of the two mothers, and hoped that the prince would take care of his life. After speaking, he presented a bag with both hands, "My father said that after the big thing is accomplished, the prince will open this bag again." ”

The night is quiet, cool as water, the crescent moon hangs obliquely, occasionally hears a few lonely crows chirping, Yuan Yu tightly pinched the bag that Xu Su gave him, looked at the back of Zi Yuan, and couldn't help but feel sour for the future indefinitely, the road ahead is long, but he himself has entered a dead end, with years of acquaintance and intersection, he guessed that what this bag wrote was just to let him retreat bravely after the fact, but he could retreat? Yuan Ziyou is just a lonely man who only relies on the support of a group of pro-imperialists who have no real power, and the government decree is not out of the door, but Naer Zhurong is relying on his personal prestige and leading the children of the family to lay the current country with a sword. Yuan Yu couldn't help but sigh at the sky, he gloomily took the torch from the hand of his entourage, lit the bamboo house, and threw the torch into the sea of fire along with the bag as he turned to leave.
