Xiao Chu naturally couldn't refuse, but he felt that the more he drank this wine, the more tasteless it became, and his eyes fell on the position next to Beitang Jinyu, Gao Weihu was supposed to be sitting there, but now it was empty, Xiao Chu was a little stunned.

"Your Majesty, the minister dared to ask, why don't you see the queen?" Xiao Chu got up and looked directly at Beitang Jinyu, as soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar, and their eyes looked over one after another.

Beitang Jinyu's brows furrowed, and the hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and he secretly thought in his heart: Xiao Chu, can't you really help it?

Although anger rose in his heart again, he didn't show any expression, but replied lightly: "General Xiao only returned to the capital today, and he still has time to know about the affairs of this palace, the Gao family is no longer the queen, and I deposed her a month ago. ”

Xiao Chu never thought that Beitang Jinyu would abolish Gaowei Lake, he had only been away from the palace for a few months, and such a big change had happened.

"Your Majesty, dare to ask why the queen was deposed? Before the minister left the palace, the queen mother was only released from the two-year ban, why was she deposed now? Xiao Chu's voice made people unable to hear emotions, but there was a bit of coldness in the depths of his eyes.

"Why was Gaowei Lake abandoned?" Beitang Jinyu repeated his question, with a little anger: "She was grounded for two years, I thought she would reform herself, but I didn't expect that she was still arrogant and vicious, deliberately hurting Zhen Concubine, not only did she not admit it, but also contradicted me, bullied the king, and did not repent, General Xiao thought that this pile of piles one by one, was it enough for me to depose her?" ”

Xiao Chu looked at Beitang Jinyu proudly, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there must be something strange in this......

Before he could finish his words, he was coldly interrupted by Beitang Jinyu: "General Xiao, is this questioning my decision?" The Gao family has been abolished, doesn't General Xiao still want to intercede for the abolished queen? ”

"Xiao Chu doesn't dare." Xiao Chu's voice was a little low: "It's just that after the queen is loyal and good, the emperor is doing this, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate." ”

The anger in Beitang Jinyu's eyebrows became more and more intense, and Xiao Chu openly argued with himself, this was the first time, it was actually for Gao Wei Lake.

"Your Majesty, the minister grew up with Gao Weihu, knowing that she loves the emperor and wants to enter the palace to accompany her, her wish to achieve the minister's natural happiness for her, and now I hear that she was deposed The minister is also a little regretful, but between the minister and her, it is just a little childhood affection, which is nothing."

"Childhood affection?" Xiao Guifei on the side asked rhetorically, and without waiting for Xiao Chu to answer, she continued: "It's just a little faint childhood affection that General Xiao is like this, if there is really anything ......"

Her words stopped suddenly, but the unspoken words were all the more reverie, and she sat lazily in her chair, gently playing with her cole-colored nails.

Everyone immediately cast suspicious glances, and Beitang Jinyu also looked at him closely, waiting for his answer.

"Concubine Xiao, what do you mean by this? If I really have an affair with Gao Wei Lake, how can I intercede for her on the cusp? How could they not know about her dethronement? I, Xiao Chu, have always sat upright, so why am I afraid of rumors about things I haven't done? ”

Xiao Chu's face was indifferent, and his deep gaze was on Beitang Jinyu.

Beitang Jinyu did not dispel the doubts in his heart because of his words, and Xiao Chu dared to openly disobey himself and question his decision to depose Gao Weihu, and who knows if the so-called childhood affection will take root in his heart.

He suppressed the strange look in his heart, glanced at Gui Xi and said, "Gui Xi, you go and bring Gao Wei Lake." ”

Gui Xi lowered his head and soon went down, and everyone was puzzled by Beitang Jinyu's approach and exchanged in a low voice.

"You say, does the emperor want General Xiao and the deposed queen to openly testify?" A concubine whispered, and someone immediately chimed in: "Who knows? However, General Xiao has just made military merits, and now the emperor is questioning it like this, will he lose the morale of the army? ”

"If General Xiao and the deposed queen are really innocent, how can they be afraid of the emperor's suspicion?"

"I think General Xiao is heroic, how can I look at the abolished queen? Now that she has entered the Xin Zhi Library, I'm afraid she only has half a life left. ”

"Even if she keeps a breath, she won't last long, and with Xiao Guifei in her hand, will she still have a chance to turn over?" The concubine's voice was mocking and disdainful.

It didn't take long for Father-in-law Guixi to walk in, followed by two eunuchs, and standing in the middle of them was Gao Weihu.

At this time, the palace maid of Gao Haohu was wearing simple accessories, her face was pale, her eyes were a little dull, and the whole person looked very thin, and she was already slender, but now she was even weaker.

"Your Majesty, Gaowei Lake has arrived."

Gao Weihu raised his eyes and slowly looked at Beitang Jinyu, he sat on the high seat and accompanied her by Liu Wu'er, the appearance of accompanying each other looked really perfect, all eyes were on her, mocking, disdainful, funny, it seemed that she had become a clown, let others make fun of her.

"Gao Weihu, why didn't you salute when you saw the emperor?" Xiao Guifei glanced at her and chuckled: "Could it be that Xin Zheku's days made you stupid, and you forgot the most basic etiquette." ”

Gao Weihu and Beitang Jinyu looked at each other, what did she see in his eyes?

Indifference, ruthlessness, anger, she can't find the slightest emotion.

"Slaves and maids see the emperor." Gao Weihu knelt down heavily, her knees on the ground, and at that moment she seemed to hear mocking laughter, she lowered her eyes and held back her emotions.

"Get up." Beitang Jinyu said lightly, looking at her such a thin appearance, a little distress quickly flashed in her eyes.

"I don't know what happened when the emperor summoned the slaves and maids? Xinzheku still has a lot to do. Gao Weihu asked, although his tone was respectful, but there was still a bit of arrogance in it.

Seeing that she didn't want to see her so much, Beitang Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little angry again, he suppressed his anger and said: "General Xiao has returned from the war, and asked about you, since General Xiao cares about you so much, I will let you meet." ”

Gao Weihu followed Beitang Jinyu's line of sight, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Chu standing not far from her, because he had just returned to Beijing and had not had time to go back to the house to change his clothes, he was still wearing a battle robe, she suddenly remembered the scene when she sent him out of the city a few months ago, but she didn't expect that time was in a hurry, and the changes were so hurried.

Xiao Chu saw that Gao Weihu was so haggard, her eyes were no longer as smart as before, and now they had become silent and dry, his heart trembled, he even remembered the day Gao Weihu entered the palace, the red makeup flowers were married to splendid clothes, and she told herself with a smile that she was finally going to marry him.

Now the person she loves deeply, but at this moment she is reduced to a slave, she is arrogant by nature, but now she suffers from the Xinzhiku, and she is ashamed to laugh, this Beitang Jinyu is so cruel to her.

"General Xiao, you're back." Gao Weihu smiled faintly, now he has made great achievements and should be respected by 10,000 people, but now because she is suspicious of this, she feels very guilty.

"Hmm." Xiao Chu answered, but he didn't know what to say, he had too much to say, but in front of everyone's eyes, if he said more, he would bring her death.

"General Xiao doesn't have anything to say?" Beitang Jinyu asked, interrupting to look at the two of them.

"The minister asks the emperor to look at the past relationship with Gao Weihu, forgive her past sins, and set her free." Xiao Chu arched his hand, seeing Gao Weihu like this, he couldn't bear it.

Beitang Jinyu snorted coldly: "You are not stupid, Gao Weihu, I will never forgive you, you have committed countless mistakes, I don't give you the death penalty in the past!" ”

"Don't be angry, it's not good for you to be angry." Liu Yu'er hurriedly patted Beitang Jinyu's back gently, with a gentle and concerned expression.

Gao Weihu has long been dead, and seeing such an intimate scene at this moment, I only feel ironic and ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, don't you know what kind of person Gao Weihu is?" Xiao Guifei chuckled, her eyes swept lightly over Gao Wei Lake, full of mockery: "She corrupted the dynasty, met with adulterers privately, and bullied the king, this is a well-known thing." ”

"Concubine Xiao, Gao Weihu was once the queen after all, how can you slander her like this!" Xiao Chu had a little anger between his eyebrows, and a bit of cold air emanated from his body.

"Slander?" Concubine Xiao Guifei felt even more amused: "General Xiao is not guilty if he doesn't know, this scandal after the abolition is known to everyone in the world, the emperor saved her life, that is, for the sake of the past, now she is still unrepentant, she is really stubborn." ”

"Concubine Xiao!" Xiao Chu's voice was low, and Gao Haohu saw that the two were arguing, and interrupted Xiao Chu's words: "General Xiao, Gao Haohu has a clear conscience in asking himself, and he is not afraid of this rumor, believe it or not, and feel at ease in people's hearts. ”

When she said this, she looked at Beitang Jinyu and said, "The emperor doesn't believe me, the harem doesn't believe me, and everyone in the world doesn't believe me, so what?" I don't care! ”

The smile on Gao Yuhu's lips was contemptuous, as if she was mocking Beitang Jinyu, yes, Gao Weihu just wanted to provoke him and ask him not to forgive herself, she would rather stay in Xinzhiku all the time than see him again.

Beitang Jinyu stroked his palms and laughed, but his eyes became more and more gloomy: "Gao Wei Lake, Gao Wei Lake, you really have a proud backbone, and this Xin Zheku has not been able to make you succumb, so I want to see how long your iron bones can last!" ”

Gao Weihu also fought back unceremoniously: "Then the emperor will wait and see." ”

Beitang couldn't say a word of Jinyu, he looked at Gao Weihu under the seat, although she described as thin, but her eyes were full of stubbornness, disturbing his heart.

In addition to anger in his heart, he was more helpless and stunned, if he couldn't get rid of the Martial King in one fell swoop and couldn't better protect her, how could he and her get to this point.

Liu Yingjiang, Xin Zheku, Xiao Chu, these things have caused more and more estrangement between them, and they have gradually drifted apart.

But now that you've come this far, there's no room for regret.

Beitang Jinyu said contemptuously: "Gao Weihu, you are so stubborn, I won't say more, but in the future, in the library of Xin, you don't want to be like the water-based poplar in the Fengqi Palace." ”

Even though Gao Weihu had died early, when she heard Beitang Jinyu's words, her face turned pale, and she moved her lips but couldn't say anything.
