Chapter 48: Farewell

Probably the heavens heard the call in Hongfu's heart, and the long queue to send off relatives quickly left the capital and headed for the official road amid the sound of salutes and music. Hongfu breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to whisper a few more words of comfort, but found that Tao Yao, who had been staring straight ahead indifferently, suddenly stared at her eyes, and her face was almost imperceptibly a little surprised and incredible. If she hadn't accompanied Tao Yao from childhood to adulthood, such a subtle change in expression, she probably wouldn't have been able to detect it at the first time.

This...... What's going on? She subconsciously looked in that direction, but found that on the hillside not far away, a person was standing upright, with a tall posture, and there was a vague sense of familiarity. She was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted in hindsight, and then glanced at Shang Zanlu, who was escorting in front, and then her whole body became extremely stiff.

That man...... That person is clearly Gao Gongzi, Gao Mansion and Yongwang Mansion have been friends for many years, she will not even recognize Gao Xianzhi's outline! However, he obviously led the troops to go to the battle, and she watched him go out of the city with her own eyes! Why is it that at this time, at this juncture, this person who should have been thousands of miles away is here?! To be honest, the moment she saw Gao Xianzhi, her heart was very complicated.

On the one hand, he was very happy that he could come to see the princess on this journey, which showed that the princess's previous affection was not wrong, and it could be regarded as the last bit of comfort in the current bad situation. But on the other hand, she was very worried that Gao Xianzhi's inexplicable appearance would make her master's originally calm heart lake ripple again. The current situation is a certainty, it will not change again no matter what, and the princess has no way to get out except to accept her fate. In case his appearance aroused the impulse in the princess's heart, it is really hard to say how the subsequent situation will develop.

Her mind was as messy as a lump of paste, and Hong Fu stared at the figure and thought wildly, while pretending to hold the wheel and holding Tao Yao's palm hanging under the wide sleeves: "Your Royal Highness the Princess......" The palm was as cold as a block of ice, and Hong Fufu couldn't help but shiver as soon as she touched it, so that she couldn't finish her words. Princess, she saw that the man's reaction was so great, it was ...... What's next? And what does Gao Gongzi plan to do?

"I'm fine." replied in a low voice, Tao Yao's gaze did not move, but fell firmly on that person. He is back, leaving behind his army and back...... So, even if he is as rational as him, at some moments, he is still the only weakness in his heart? However, in such a situation, what is the point of him dropping everything down to see him off? She was leaving, and he should have run to the battlefield to which he was loyal, not to waste any more time for a knowing impossibility. Hehe, or, from a certain point of view, she is the most rational one. After trying his best, he found that there was nothing he could do, and then he gave up, simply surrendered on his knees, and then re-planned the next route of survival.

Thinking of the conversations that Wu Cao and Princess Taiping had with her, Tao Yao looked at it, but suddenly provoked a sneer. Yes, these so-called men who stand up to the sky sometimes not only don't understand women, but also don't understand themselves.

From such a distance, Gao Xianzhi could see the situation below very clearly. Even though the frame in the center was covered by a curtain, he could see the woman in red sitting in it. It's not that he doesn't want to miss it, at the moment when he saw her in person, Gao Xianzhi knew that his feelings for her were so strong that he couldn't suppress it. It was as if something was boiling in his veins, almost burning the last shred of his sanity. He even wanted to rush down desperately, take her away, take her far away from here. What country is stable, the world is peaceful, what is far away to marry and relatives, and the alliance between the two countries, all of them will be rolled aside for him. He just wanted to keep the woman he loved, but why, he couldn't even get such a simple wish satisfied.

Gritting his teeth, Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but clench the reins in his hand, and slowly led the horse to follow the team below to send off his relatives. He wasn't sure if he could see him, but now he couldn't take his eyes off the bright red.

Be calm, be calm, he is just here to see him off, not to rob his relatives...... Gao Xianzhi recited these words silently repeatedly, for fear that he would ruin all the existing situations on impulse. In fact, as early as the moment he rejected her proposal in the palace of Princess Zhenguo, he lost his qualification to have her, and at this moment, what is the point of making such an affectionate gesture, it is just a joke. However, in the face of this situation, his heart seemed to be tormented back and forth in boiling oil, and he really didn't know if he could let her fly away and ignore it. It's a big deal, it's a big deal that he abandons his family and country, as long as he is not recognized, he flees here with his son, finds a place to be incognito, and never shows up again...... If that's all there is to it, he seems to be ...... It's not that it can't be done......

"Stop!" Just when Gao Xianzhi's heart was turning a thousand times and making uncertain moves, the huge team suddenly stopped. He couldn't help but look puzzled, and looked more and more attentively, only to find that after turning around and asking Tao Yao's meaning, Shang Zanlu, who was in Tibet, turned over and dismounted with a respectful face, and then, everyone silently lowered their heads, but Hongfu stretched out her hand and helped the woman in gorgeous clothes off the car.

The fiery color of "...... child" is even more dazzling under the sunlight, and the person with fair skin and picturesque eyebrows is more and more radiant and brilliant. Gao Xianzhi muttered the name softly, only to feel that his mind had been completely withdrawn at this moment. Tao Yao is light, he has never seen such a bright and warm color on her, and with that carefully depicted face, it is like a phoenix bathing in fire, noble and beautiful and inviolable.

I haven't seen her these days, she seems to have lost a lot of weight, even the curvature of her jaw has become sharper, and even the momentum of her whole body has become stronger, no longer as bright and brilliant as before, cheerful and jumpy, but more quiet and tranquil, with the unfathomable profundity of the superior. Gao Xianzhi saw that the expression in his handsome eyes gradually dimmed, and the heat in his chest that kept rushing against his heart began to slowly subside. This kind of Tao Yao is too strange to him. Since the last parting, she had transformed into another person in a place she could not see, a person he would never approach again.
