You go in first. Lu Xue said to the maid, her eyes looked at Xu Changping again, there was no joy on her face, and her expression was difficult to distinguish.

"Xue'er, I heard that you went to the temple with your sister, and I will wait for you here." Xu Changping said, with a smile on his face, but he was not a little happy in Lu Xue's eyes.

"Gongzi Xu, everything that should be said in front of the General's Mansion that day, what are you going to do this time?" Lu Xue kept an appropriate distance from him, and her tone was polite and detached.

Xu Changping wanted to take a few steps closer, but before he could lift Lu Xue and retreat, he had to stand where he was, and said: "Yesterday I passed by the piano shop and found a new luthier, you will definitely like it, and the piano he strokes is particularly good." ”

He looked sincere and expectant, if it was in the past, Lu Xue would definitely happily agree to go with him, but in this case, she really avoided it, curled her lips and smiled lightly: "Master Xu, no need, thank you for your kindness." ”

Xu Changping was very disappointed, he really came to invite Lu Xue with some sincerity, but he didn't expect to be rejected again, and said a little unwillingly: "Lu Xue, I invite you so sincerely, if you reject me, won't it embarrass me?" ”

Lu Xue frowned and looked at him, and said, "Xu Changping, why should I agree to you?" If you were willing to think about me in the past, how can you and I be so here today? "If you talk about embarrassment, who embarrasses her, was assassinated on the wedding day, crowned with rumors, and had to withdraw from the marriage, these are just like farces, and what is even more ridiculous is that her fiancé planned all this.

Now he is embarrassed to stand in front of him and express his grievances and dissatisfaction.

Xu Changping was choked by Lu Xue's words, and then said: "I admit that I didn't think well in the past, so I did something to hurt you, but...... If you are not a saint or a sage, you really can't forgive me? ”

"Ill-conceived?" Lu Xue showed a sarcastic smile on her lips: "Xu Changping, you are inevitably too naïve." ”

In the past, Jiang Panpan, who had a more lintel status than her, he easily took her back, but now that Jiang Panpan is not there, he looks back to himself and begs for forgiveness, how can there be such a good thing in this world.

"I ......" Xu Changping was a little at a loss, and said: "Mother has been sad these days, and I feel ashamed of you, I hope I ...... I can make up for you. ”

"No need, presumably your mother should be worried about your marriage at the moment, with the kung fu to come to me, it is better to plan for herself with her." Lu Xuedao, the word "planning" in the words has a deep meaning, Xu Changping saw that she was so indifferent, and there was a big gap between her thoughtfulness and obedience to herself before, and he was a little annoyed that he had missed her, but he was angry at her indifference.

Lu Xue didn't look at him again, and walked straight into the Lu Mansion, and the figure quickly disappeared.

"In the past few days, the emperor has accompanied the Empress Dowager out of the palace to escape the summer, and the Empress Dowager is unwell, so the emperor should naturally accompany her more." Xiao Chu said, Gao Weihu took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows and asked, "He called that concubine to accompany him?" ”

"Hmm...... Xiao Guifei. Xiao Chu said, and hurriedly explained to Beitang Jinyu: "According to the rules, every time you visit the garden, you must be accompanied by the queen, and you can bring one to three concubines, and the emperor only brings concubines this year......"

Xiao Chu originally meant that the emperor only brought one concubine this year, but it had a different meaning in Gao Yuhu's ears, she gently shook the teacup, and said leisurely: "Since I was here, I knew that Beitang Jinyu favored Xiao Ruyan, and today it seems that this favor has not decreased but increased, and it is very good." ”

Xiao Chu knew that she would be wrong, and a little smile appeared on his lips, Gao Yuhu glanced at him and said, "What are you laughing at?" Doesn't what I'm saying make sense? ”

"When the emperor comes to Jiangnan, you can ask him well." Xiao Chu lifted the teapot and added tea to Gao Wei Lake, according to Gao Wei Lake's temperament, if she was jealous, it would inevitably make the emperor even more unhappy.

Gao Yuhu's heart really welled up a little sour, this Beitang Jinyu returned to the palace and was so uneasy, if he went out of the palace to visit the garden with ten or eight concubines, she didn't feel anything, but only brought the one who had always been favored, it was really nerve-wracking.

"General, Miss Gao, Gongzi Gao is here." A maid walked into the middle of the garden, and Gao Weihu replied, "Let him come to the pavilion outside the garden." ”

The maid went back as instructed, and Xiao Chu also got up and said, "I still have some things to deal with in my study, so I'll go first." ”

Gao Qingyun didn't look so weak anymore, thinking that the wound was almost healed, the maid served tea and stood respectfully outside the pavilion, Gao Weihu asked, "Master Gao, how is your wound?" ”

"Dressing medicine every day, the doctor said it's almost fine, you don't have to worry." Gao Qingyun said, there was a smile in his eyes, as long as he was in front of Gao Weihu, he was always smiling, very bright.

"That's good, Gao Gongzi, you saved me, I have to repay this kindness." Gao Weihu has been thinking about how to pay it back for the past few days, but unfortunately he can't get any good answers, Gao Qingyun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, because of this injury, Miss Gao can stay with me for a little longer, I am already very happy, and this night is not a kindness, I am willing to protect you." ”

There was a bit of affection in his words, Gao Weihu sounded weird, she couldn't hold back the discomfort in her heart, she smiled lightly: "When the emperor comes back, I will inform him of this matter......"

"Your Majesty?" Gao Qingyun was stunned for a moment before saying, "I always knew that Miss Gao was a person around the emperor, but I didn't know Miss Gao's true identity. ”

Gao Weihu smiled and said: "I thought that Gao Gongzi knew, once I traveled with the emperor, and many people saw it. "Since it's all about this topic, then you might as well tell him about the relationship between Beitang Jinyu and himself, and there is nothing to hide.

"Are you...... The emperor's concubine? Gao Qingyun asked, her expression was nervous, and there was an unspeakable thought in her flashing eyes, Gao Yuhu was stunned when she heard the word concubine, and she felt that she didn't like this word very much, she smiled lightly and said: "In the future, it will probably be the case in the eyes of the world." ”

No matter how affectionately Beitang Jinyu treats her, her status is always just one of Beitang Jinyu's concubines.

"But the emperor ...... I have already returned to the capital, you stay here......" Gao Qingyun's eyes were complicated, he gently stroked his hand on his wound, and asked in a low voice: "Miss Gao, when will you return to the capital?" ”

"I don't know about that." Gao Weihu said, but he thought that Beitang Jinyu would come back soon, he used to think he was quite annoying when he was around, and she was very bored when she was not here, if Beitang Jinyu was playing chess with him, it would be good to grind and pour tea for him.

Gao Qingyun raised his eyes to look at Gao Weihu, he looked at her carefully, and had to admit that Gao Weihu was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, her facial features were delicate and just right, and her eyebrows were as cold and arrogant as frost and snow, but it made people want to get closer to her, he was very sorry in his heart, why did such a beautiful woman have to be trapped in that deep palace for a lifetime.

"Miss Gao, are you really willing to enter the palace?" Gao Qingyun plucked up the courage to ask, he saw a very faint smile on Gao Yuhu's lips, and she said, "I want to be by his side." ”

Gao Qingyun's heart had a strange feeling, he couldn't say it clearly, he moved his lips but didn't know what to say, after picking up the tea and drinking it, Gao Weihu lifted the teapot to add tea for him, and said: "If you know my identity, your kindness should be repaid by the emperor." ”

"Miss Gao, I thought we were friends." Gao Qingyun said, trying his best to look calm and happy, Gao Weihu looked stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Gao Gongzi, you are so open to make me a friend, the sacrifice is a bit big." Gao Weihu looked at him and said, smiling before his eyes reached the bottom of his eyes.

Gao Weihu walked to the side of the bed and lifted the curtain, Liuyu was lying on the bed and was thin and unlooking, her cheeks were sunken on both sides, and her big eyes were extremely unfocused.

"What's wrong with you?" Gao Weihu sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at her.

Liuyu showed a painful and frightened look on her face, and said, "Miss Gao, why...... Why do I always dream, why do people always want to kill me? ”

Her hand waved weakly, showing her panic, Gao Weihu sighed but didn't know how to tell her, in fact, she was not sick, nor crazy, but poisoned.

I don't know when he was poisoned, or who he was.

She and Xiao Chu both felt that it should have been given to her by Jiang Nian, she came to the General's Mansion as a dark line, and to another extent, it was also a handle, Jiang Nian was such an old and cunning person, he would not easily show his feet, but who would have thought that Beitang Jinyu would be better than him?

In the final analysis, Ruyu is just a chess piece, and now, he is an abandoned son covered in bruises.

"Miss Gao, can you save me?" Liuyu's bony hand tightly grasped Gaowei Lake, as if grasping the last straw: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet." ”

"What are you dreaming about?" Gao Weihu asked her, and endless panic appeared in Liuyu's eyes, and she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, ...... Emperor"

Gao Yuhu's face turned pale, and he looked at her and said, "What did you say?" ”

In the summer resort, the Empress Dowager was sitting in the pavilion, the palace maid gently shook the fan, and Xiao Ruyan was sitting opposite, she looked at the Empress Dowager and smiled: "The Empress Dowager, this villa is really comfortable, do you feel better?" ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, looked at the green trees not far away, and said slowly: "This year, the mountain villa is in the summer, and the emperor only brought you a concubine." ”

Xiao Ruyan's lips overflowed with a smile, but she quickly covered it up, she said: "The concubine is particularly afraid of heat, so the emperor brought the concubine." ”

The Empress Dowager waved her hand to let the fan-beating maid retreat, she said leisurely: "In the past, Xiao Guifei was arrogant and disdained to show weakness and compete for favor, yesterday I heard the palace people say that since the emperor returned to the palace, the concubine has been waiting in front of the study every day with soup for a few hours. ”

"The emperor is very busy with official business, and the concubines are afraid that the emperor will be tired and unable to relieve the emperor's worries, so they can only serve the emperor with a little effort." Xiao Ruyan said, the Empress Dowager didn't look at her, she had never liked Xiao Ruyan, but now she couldn't tolerate her pretentiousness.

"Concubine Xiao Guifei should also give others some way to live." The Empress Dowager said unhurriedly, in the past, she relied on the lintel of the family to disdain to lower her posture to compete for favor, and the emperor also favored her, but now she has also learned from those concubines to be virtuous, wouldn't it make others have no way out.

"The Queen Mother, if I make way for others, they will step on me." Xiao Ruyan stretched out her hand to flick the bead tassel on her bun, and there was still arrogance and pride in her understated tone.

The Empress Dowager knew that she would not back down, and what she said today was just a test sentence.
