Gao Xianzhi was silent, and followed Qiuyuan for a while, only to see the girl who was still dressed in plain clothes in a small garden in the princess's mansion. She also seemed a little anxious, and as soon as she saw herself, she stood up suddenly, her peach blossom eyes full of worry. But because the people in the princess's mansion were still present, she restrained herself from approaching, but just looked at him fixedly, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, revealing a shallow smile.

"Your Highness can't leave people, so the slave and maid will retire first, General Gao, please take care of yourself." As if turning a blind eye to Tao Yao's existence, Qiu Yuan bowed straight to Gao Xianzhi and quietly retreated. All of a sudden, there were only two figures left in this small world full of peach trees, one black and one white. Standing silently, concentrating, everyone wanted to carve the appearance of another person into their hearts, but no one spoke.

The spring wind has brought full warmth, taking advantage of the fine weather, inadvertently blowing the peach petals of a tree. Falling people's hair, staining people's clothes, the blurry and beautiful dream-like pale pink danced, with a kind of intoxicating smoke, and suddenly the picturesque man and woman were wrapped in it, as if it was the most freehand and pure stroke in the spring scene of the gods, just looking at it from a distance, it was enough to make people confused.

A petal of flowers fluttered and landed on the girl's long eyelashes, like a pink butterfly with broken wings. Looking at the little crimson that fell on the white palm, Tao Yao's expression became very soft at this moment: "Brother Huaijin, the peach blossoms of Chang'an should also look like this, right?" ”

Mo on the grass smoked, flying flowers rolling, this season of Chang'an, isn't it beautiful and picturesque.

The young man looked up at the clouds of the tree, and what he remembered in his mind was the little girl who was chanting "Taoyao" under the peach tree: "Yes, the spring in Chang'an is the most beautiful." "It was so beautiful that when he first saw it, the little, sweet, and quirky girl fell on his heart, and from then on, it never disappeared for a moment.

"I regret a little that I didn't go to the third brother's appointment last year." Tao Yao let the petals in her palm be blown away again, but the expression on her face was reminiscing and yearning: "Otherwise, I can go green with you, and I won't miss the most beautiful spring scenery of Taoyuan." It's just that at that time, they didn't expect that that year's spring appointment would be the last. If she did it all over again, she probably wouldn't dance that dance for Lin Lang again.

"But, thanks to you, I saw the most beautiful dance of my life, and I also heard the best song in the world." Turning his gaze back to the girl's face, Gao Xianzhi only felt as if his heart was being slashed, one knife after another, one wound at a time, and one blood hole at a time, all of which were full of wisps of pain that could not be pulled. It hurts so much that he wants to scream, it hurts so much that he wants to hug her in his arms desperately, and it hurts so much that he almost forgets who he is, but he still remembers that she is his sweetheart.

"I have heard about the matter of Gaofu, and I believe that you have never done such a thing, and you are absolutely capable of solving the current predicament." Tao Yao smiled and met his eyes, and those eyes that were once clear have now become unfathomable: "As long as you don't have anything to do with me anymore, all the difficulties and obstacles will be solved, right?" ”

"Xiao'er......" Gao Xianzhi almost pressed his throat before he reluctantly spit out these two words. He wanted to tell her no, he wanted to say that he would still marry her as planned, and he even wanted her to be a little more patient and wait for him a little longer...... But is he really qualified to say such things?

Thinking of his father's face that was extraordinarily vicissitudes, thinking of the situation he had carefully analyzed for himself, those promises that were so beautiful and untrue were as heavy as cotton soaked in water, they were all heavily blocked in his chest, so that he could no longer say a superfluous word.

"I see." Looking at his indescribable but clearly painful and desperate look, Tao Yao's eyes flashed, and then it seemed to ignite a new light, burning her whole person, making her dazzling and thrilling at this moment: "Brother Huaijin, if I say that I have a way to get out of the current impasse, are you still willing to marry me?" ”

This is the person she likes, and the person she wants to share with her, so even if the other party has the idea of retreating, she has to gamble on it. As long as he is willing to accept, then what is she if she abandons her dignity and puts down the reserve of her daughter's family? She knows what she wants, and she can take the initiative to pursue and plan, as long as the people she cares about are willing to give the same response, then she has the courage to move forward.

"...... way" Gao Xianzhi looked at the light in her eyes, which was also like the last glimmer of light in his life, making him can't help but want to reach out and grab and clench.

However, at this time, what else can be done?

"Emperor Wu once gave me a secret edict, allowing me the right to marry independently, and no one can interfere." Tao Yao stared at the man in front of him steadily, and his tone was resolute and unflinching: "Even His Majesty today will never be able to." ”

Li Xian rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, and his virtuous name cannot be lost in the slightest. Therefore, just like Wu Cao said before her death, even if she abdicates and dies, the power of this secret edict will definitely be the same as ever. Not because it came from the hands of Her Majesty the Queen of the Great Zhou, but just because it was the last edict of Li Xian's biological mother. This son of heaven in the Tang Dynasty had to come from.

"Martial Emperor She ......" I didn't expect Wu Cao to secretly leave such a trick for Tao Yao, Gao Xianzhi was surprised and delighted, and was about to open his mouth to respond, but then he thought of more: "However, if you forcibly force Your Majesty to change and choose your relatives, what will be the consequences, do you know?" ”

Consequence...... It was because she had thought too much about the consequences that she had not come up with this holy decree for a long time, and she had fallen into the dilemma she was in today. Tao Yao laughed at herself, and closed her eyes with a complicated expression: "I know." ”

If she really did this, she might be able to be free, stay in Shendu or return to Chang'an, or marry Gao Xianzhi and never have to be separated again. It's just that in this way, she is dissatisfied with Li Xian's arrangement, and forcibly resists in the name of Wu Cao, completely putting her side on the opposite side of Jinshang and Wei's mother and daughter. At that time, the powerful General's Mansion should be fine, but the Yongwang Mansion, her parents and brothers, and even herself may live in the open and dark arrows for the rest of their lives, and there will be no goodness from now on.
