"That's enough, I can see clearly in the back, you are not allowed to eat tonight, go back to the front yard for me!" The aunt stared at her fiercely, and the palace maid was immediately frightened and didn't dare to speak, so she hurriedly picked up the dirty clothes on the ground and left.

Gao Weihu was a little surprised that her aunt would protect her, and she saluted slightly: "Thank you, aunt......"

"Gao Weihu, if anyone bullies you in the future, you can tell your aunt, and I will make the decision for you." The housekeeper's aunt actually smiled at Gao Weihu, and Gao Weihu became more and more puzzled in his heart.

Why is my aunt so different from what she used to be.

"Gao Weihu, do you know that General Xiao Chu has good news, and he will return to the capital in the near future, I know that you have a lot of love with General Xiao Chu, if you are ...... If you leave here, don't let down your aunt's care for you. The aunt in charge held Gao Weihu's hand and said with a smile.

If she still can't hear what the aunt in charge means, then she is really stupid.

But as for Xiao Chu...... She really doesn't have a little impression of Xiao Chu, or from Beitang Jinyu and the Empress Dowager heard that Gao Weihu and Xiao Chu have been friends since childhood, and she really has no memory of Gao Chuhu at all.

But she finally understood that this aunt was leaving a way for the future, if Xiao Chu really pleaded with the emperor to release herself, then she could be regarded as the person who took care of herself.

Gao Weihu smiled lightly and said: "Auntie's care, Gao Weihu is toothless and unforgettable, if there is another day, I will repay my aunt well." ”

The aunt nodded with great satisfaction, Gao Weihu looked at her figure and turned away, and secretly thought in her heart: General Xiao Chu is coming back, but Gao Weihu is long gone, I don't know if I can be saved as a fake Gao Weihu?

She was immersed in her own thoughts, and didn't notice that a figure flashed not far away, and hurriedly left Xinzhiku towards Xiao Guifei.

Beitang Jinyu went down early and wanted to go to Yiyue Palace to see Liu Wu'er, but he didn't expect to be stumped by the voice of the palace maid when he walked to the imperial garden.

He raised his hand to signal the eunuchs and palace maids who followed behind him not to make a sound, and he walked straight to the bottom of the tree to listen.

The palace maids didn't notice the arrival of Beitang Jinyu in the slightest, and one of the palace maids said, "Yesterday I passed by Xin Zheku, guess what I heard? ”

"Oh, don't sell it, let's talk about it......"

"I heard someone say that General Xiao Chu had an affair with the abolished queen......"

"How is this possible? General Xiao Chu's current generals with military merits are just cheap maids of Xin Zheku, how can they have a relationship? ”

"General Xiao Chu and the abolished queen grew up together, and they are the most reluctant to pass on the love of childhood sweethearts...... It is said that the emperor can't compare. ”

The emperor's anger soon spread to Concubine Xiao, she sat lazily, holding her head with one hand, listening to the palace maid's report, her lips hooked up with a smile.

"Gao Weihu, I don't know what this palace gave you this time, do you like it?" Xiao Ruyan smiled proudly, and seemed to be able to imagine the emperor's angry appearance.

Liu Yu'er said while stroking the qin: "Niangniang, you deliberately let people spread such rumors, why did you anger the emperor?" ”

"Xiao Chu has a relationship with Gao Wei Lake, now that Xiao Chu has made a great contribution, maybe he really went to intercede and let Gao Wei Lake come out, I might as well release the news of their affair first, to see if Xiao Chu has the courage to intercede, if he really pleads, the emperor will not agree, he will only be more angry." Xiao Guifei said leisurely, her eyes full of calculations.

"Niangniang is really powerful, so that Gaowei Lake will never turn over, and Su'er is really out of reach." Liu Yu'er said that the smile on her face was extremely proud when she thought that the only life-saving straw in Gaowei Lake was gone this time.

"I want to see what else Gao Wei Lake is capable of." Xiao Guifei's eyes flashed with viciousness, she continued to raise her eyebrows and smile, reached out and gently twisted a piece of osmanthus cake and took a snack.

The sandalwood in the dormitory was ethereal, with a faint fragrance, and the bursts of green smoke quickly dissipated, and Xiao Guifei's gaze became distant.

When Gao Weihu went to court on the second day of Xin, a minister wrote: "Your Majesty, Gao Weihu and General Xiao Chu had a stir for a while, and even more so at that time, they had a private adulterer, and in terms of the royal family's face, the minister begged to execute Gao Weihu." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, General Xiao Chu will return soon, such news is easy to disturb the people's hearts, provoke the laughter of the world, and damage the prestige of General Xiao Chu."

Beitang Jinyu listened to the successive ministers who wrote to execute Gao Weihu, and a chill gradually condensed in his eyes, and his face sank.

"Your Majesty, after Gao Weihu is a loyal general, and he is the maternal family of the Queen Mother, if he is executed so easily, I am afraid that he will be ashamed of his ancestors and hurt the Queen Mother's heart, please think twice."

"Your Majesty, these words are rumors in the end, the matter has not been verified, if you execute someone so hastily, it is easier to arouse the anger of the people."

"The emperor can't believe rumors, everything is evidence-based, and General Xiao Chu has not returned to Beijing yet, so there is no way to talk about the affair......"

"Hmph, there is no wind and no waves, Gao Weihu is not a serious woman!"

"Your Majesty, people's words are terrifying, Gao Weihu is innocent, why are the rumors only spread to her? I think it's because of her own indiscretion and loss of morality! ”

"Enough!" Beitang Jinyu shouted angrily, and looked at everyone with cold eyes: "If this matter is discussed later, I will naturally send someone to find out, if there is really such a thing, it will naturally be severely punished." ”

Listening to Beitang Jinyu like this, everyone couldn't say anything anymore, but it was King Wu's party, seeing that the court was in chaos because of the Gaowei Lake incident, a minister immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, the important thing now is not the rumors of the harem, but the southeast flood, the minister implores the emperor to hand over this matter to the minister, and the minister will definitely send someone to repair the dam and quell the flood." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, the emperor has a serious flood in the southeast, and I implore the emperor to send people, and the ministers are willing to rush to the southeast to deal with the flood."

Beitang Jinyu listened to these old Chen's earnest words, and didn't seem to have a lot of emotional fluctuations, but secretly thought about these traitorous ministers in his heart, and at this moment he knew that he was concerned about the southeast flood, and he just wanted to send the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Looking at those old ministers, Beitang Jinyu is not good to refuse directly, otherwise they will definitely write a book on the grounds that the emperor does not attach importance to state affairs, thinking of this, Beitang Jinyu said: "The matter of controlling the southeast flood is indeed important, and this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, I have already issued an order for local officials to govern, and the ministers do not have to worry." ”

This is neither a promise nor a refusal, they have nothing to say, those old ministers really stopped talking, and looked at each other to exchange something.

Beitang Jinyu raised his eyebrows, and let people announce their retreat from the dynasty.

Although it temporarily suppressed the ministers of the previous dynasty on the matter between Gao Wei Lake and Xiao Chu, but thinking of those rumors, Beitang Jinyu still couldn't calm down in his heart, if Liu Yingjiang and Gao Wei Lake made his heart ripple, then between Xiao Chu and Gao Wei Lake, it made his heart surge.

Xiao Chu is his good brother, Gao Weihu is the person he cares about, it stands to reason that he should naturally believe in their innocence, but it is the love of such a childhood sweetheart that makes him angry.

Beitang Jinyu frowned slightly, his heart was upset, he faintly felt as if he was getting farther and farther away from Gao Wei Lake, and this was the last thing he wanted to happen.

He remembered what happened when he was a child, Xiao Chu always took extra care of Gao Weihu, even if she was arrogant and rude, he never got angry, on the contrary, he didn't like her at that time, Gao Weihu is treated like this now, Xiao Chu is very likely to come to intercede when he sees it.

How should I answer when the time comes?

Xiao Chu looked around at your concubine in the banquet, but he didn't see Gao Yuhu's figure alone, and his brows furrowed slightly: Isn't she the head of the harem? Why didn't you come today?

His heart turned a thousand times, thinking about the future of Gaowei Lake, but there was no expression on his face, just drinking wine slowly.

The woman in green clothes danced with long sleeves, and the white gauze fell between the pitches, revealing a gentle and delicate person, who was clearly a willow catkins, and her long hair was half pulled along with the dance, which was a little more elegant.

Xiao Chu originally looked indifferent, but after seeing Liu Wu'er, his brows furrowed, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes.

If he hadn't known that Gao Wei Lake had been missing for many years, he would have almost mistaken the woman in front of him, her face was no different from Gao Wei Lake, and even her eyes were as clear as promised.

Liu Yu'er danced, bowed slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

"Concubine Ai's dance is very moving, it's hard work, come and sit." He stretched out his hand to the catkins, a smile on his lips, and the eyes of others were full of pampering.

Xiao Chu looked at the two intimate people on the high seat, and his emotions were very complicated.

He also heard a lot on the way back to Beijing, saying that the emperor had a new concubine, and her appearance was gentle and tactful, and the emperor favored her very much, even more so than Concubine Xiao back then.

Now it seems that Concubine Zhen is this one.

He also knew a lot about Beitang Jinyu and Gao Weihu back then, so he naturally understood that his love was unbearable, and he was sad, but what he didn't expect was that after so many years, he still remembered it.

And what about Lake Gaowei?

Xiao Chu thought of her, and his heart suddenly tightened, Gao Weihu has loved Beitang Jinyu since she was a child, and she is a little arrogant, how can she tolerate the existence of this catkins?

"General Xiao has made great achievements for the country, I am deeply pleased that my Great Zhou Dynasty has such a brave general, General Xiao, I salute you." Beitang Jinyu picked up the wine glass and looked at Xiao Chu.

His thoughts were interrupted, so he had to raise his glass, "The emperor has won the award, and it is the duty of a minister to serve the country." ”

After drinking a glass of wine, he moved neatly, but for some reason, he felt that the wine was a little bitter.

"Although the concubine doesn't know anything about the government, she also knows that General Xiao is a national merit and a blessing to the people, and Su'er also wants to give General Xiao a glass of wine, Your Majesty, is it okay?" Liu Yu'er looked at Beitang Jinyu with a smile, Beitang Jinyu naturally agreed, he reached out and gently shook her hand and said, "Concubine Ai's body has always been weak, so it is not appropriate to drink too much." ”

"Just one glass." Liu Yu'er blinked, a little smart, Beitang Jinyu saw her like this and suddenly saw Gao Weihu, and the tenderness in her heart was even worse, her eyes glanced at Xiao Chu's gaze and looked here, Beitang Jinyu deliberately reached out and gently stroked Liu Wu'er's black hair, "The most important thing is that the concubine is happy." ”

Liu Xu'er lowered her eyes and smiled a little shyly, then picked up her wine glass and looked at Xiao Chu, and said with a slight smile: "General Xiao, Su'er is grateful to General Xiao for serving the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a glass of wine to show gratitude, and Su'er to do it first as a respect." ”
