Chapter 393: Princess Gao Chen's retreat
"It seems to be glamorous, but in fact, it is not as good as even the lowest subordinates."
Under the moonlight, Princess Gao Chen's face became more and more emotional, "I am the princess she is marrying, but she faces me, but she can draw a portrait of my brother, that's all, this is all the broken flowers in the yard, every one ......"
He suddenly looked back at Chu Nian, "County Lord, do you know how uncomfortable it is for a person who likes to dance with knives and guns to pretend that he likes flowers?" ”
Chu Nian's gaze fell on a wooden box in the corner of the messy house, the wooden box was opened, revealing a small blade glowing with cold light, his eyes flashed slightly, and he saw Princess Gao Chen bending down and pulling out the flower stems that had been left behind from the soil.
"My brother loves tulips the most, even if she is allergic to dust, she has to plant tulips all over the garden for me, my brother likes all kinds of decorations the most, she will decorate my house with flowers, I have no way, only to live like my brother, in order to get a trace of her love, if I show even a trace of my original face and preferences, I will be disgusted by her!"
He threw aside the flower stems that were still stained with soil in his hands, "She wants the right, I will give the power of the Gao Chen family with both hands, she likes spring flowers and autumn moons, I tried my best to plant tulips all over the garden, she wants a daughter, she is nostalgic by my bedside, while calling my brother's name, while keeping ...... with me"
"How did she ever think about my feelings?"
Princess Gao Chen looked at Ming Xiu, "Your Highness, are you asking, if you change my position, will you be half comfortable?" ”
When these words fell, Chu Nian immediately felt a fiery gaze coming from her side, she turned her eyes, and then looked at a pair of deep eyes, couldn't help but shake her head gently, and whispered: "Your Highness, don't worry, I won't ......"
Princess Gao Chen looked at Chu Nian with a sneer, and the resentful look in her eyes made Chu Nian shudder involuntarily.
This feeling of being a sinner is really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, it didn't take more than a moment for Princess Gao Chen to withdraw her gaze. "She has always been very fond of children, and even once when she was drunk, she took my hand and called my brother's name, and she said she wanted to ...... with him"
He suddenly showed a sarcastic expression, "But she doesn't know that my brother has no ability to have children at all!" ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a key opening the dusty lock, Chu Nian's face was stunned, his eyes widened and he turned his eyes to look at Ming Xiu, but at this moment, Ming Xiu was still calm, and Chu Nian finally understood the meaning of the words of the five princesses that day.
"Biological parents" are "father and mother"! The Five Princesses are not the children of the Empress at all! But the ...... of the year Chu Nian's face was stunned, and his thoughts became more and more confused, and at this time, he heard Ming Xiu's indifferent voice sounding beside him,
"I'm afraid that at the moment, in this palace, except for Xi Chu Yue Ling, none of them are the empress's own children."
Princess Gao Chen, who was waiting for the two of them to react, suddenly laughed, he raised his eyes and looked at Ming Xiu, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart, where is there a woman who ignores her children?" In the Xichu Palace, there has always been only one princess, and as for the others, it was just that the empress asked someone to bring in from the people in order to block the mouths of the people! ”
"And in that huge palace, except for the queen, no one is qualified to have their own blood relatives! Therefore, the elder brother wants to ascend to the throne so much, just to have a child, so that he can control the future Western Chu Dynasty! ”
"It's a pity......" Princess Gao Chen smiled sickly, "It's a pity that even my brother himself doesn't know about his congenital hidden disease, and this is something I only learned from eavesdropping on the conversation between my mother and father." ”
"But ......" Chu Nian frowned, "Why would the fourth prince think that other people also have the right to compete for the throne?" ”
Princess Gao Chen smiled a little more happily, "It's very simple, because she was just one of the people who was carried into the palace back then to block the mouths of the people and stir up the public!" ”
Chu Nian's face was stunned, at this stall, there was a sudden noise outside the door, Ming Xiu and Chu Nian glanced at each other, turned around and walked towards the road they came, at this time, Princess Gao Chen's voice sounded behind him, "I said so much, are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the County Lord still unwilling to take me away?" ”
Ming Xiu in front of him suddenly stopped, and looked at Princess Gao Chen with deep eyes: "Take you away?" Didn't the princess leave herself with another way out? ”
When these words fell, I saw Princess Gao Chen smile bitterly, "Retreat? I have no way back for a long time. ”
At that time, Chu Nian couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and it wasn't until he met Lord Gao Chen that he understood that Princess Gao Chen really loved him so much that he didn't leave a trace of retreat.
It wasn't until the next day that they received the news that the Four Princes' Mansion was in chaos because of Princess Gao Chen's disappearance, and Chu Nian and Ming Xiu took Princess Gao Chen and went straight to Gao Chen's Mansion.
There was nothing to say along the way, Chu Nian used the women's clothes he brought to dress up Princess Gao Chen as a woman, and it was not until he walked to the door of Gao Chen's Mansion that Chu Nian understood what the so-called "Gao Chen's Mansion is comparable to the Wang family" meant.
I saw a huge mansion door in front of me, red lacquer gold ring, behind the knocker are two huge wolf heads, the wolf's mouth is wide open, as if grinning at the visitor, the gate is open, and the magnificent courtyard can be faintly seen inside.
Seeing Chu Nian and the others stop at the door, a woman dressed like a rich lady walked out slowly, her eyes swept over Ming Xiu and fell on Chu Nian's face, seeing Chu Nian wearing a cool dress, she frowned slightly, and said coldly: "This adult, who are you looking for?" ”
Chu Nian glanced at Ming Xiu beside him, and saw Princess Gao Chen walking out from behind them, lifting her veil, and looking at the woman in front of her, "Jue'er, do you still know me?" ”
The woman who was called Jue'er looked at Princess Gao Chen's face, and her face was stunned, and after a while, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and she took a few steps forward and hesitated: "You are ...... Are you Xiao Langjun? ”
Princess Gao Chen stepped forward and took the opportunity to hold the woman's outstretched hand but didn't dare to touch it, "Jue'er, it's me back, it's not the time to say hello, is my mother here?" ”
Na Jue'er's gaze swept over Ming Xiu and Chu Nian, and finally fell on Princess Gao Chen's still slightly swollen face, as if she suddenly understood something, her face suddenly turned positive, and she glanced at Chu Nian fixedly.
"Your Excellency, please come with me."
Seeing her turn around in a hurry, Princess Gao Chen followed, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu followed, walking on the path in the garden, Princess Gao Chen had time to turn around and explain to Chu Nian, "This is my mother's personal attendant, who has stayed by my mother's side since she was a child, and was personally raised by my mother. ”
Jue'er in front turned around and smiled at Chu Nian and Ming Xiu, "Xiao Langjun has a good reputation, who are these two?" ”
Chu Nianzheng was surprised that Jue'er, who was dressed like a lady from a big family, was just a waiter, so he looked at Shang Jue'er with full eyes, and Princess Gao Chen in front said softly: "These two are...... My savior. ”
Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips and didn't speak, at this time, the study had arrived, Jue'er turned around and glanced at Chu Nian and Ming Xiu again, and said with a slight bow: "Thank you two for helping my family, Xiao Langjun, the adult is already inside, the adult said a long time ago, if you come back, there is no need to report, at this moment, please Xiao Langjun take these two to go in to see the adult." ”
Princess Gao Chen's face became serious, he nodded lightly at Jue'er with his side eyes, and turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian and Ming Xiu, who were looking behind him, who were full of exploration, and Ming Xiu, who was expressionless, "My mother's health is not very good, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the County Lord to take care of me." ”
The two nodded with serious faces, and saw that Princess Gao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and pushed open the wooden door.
I saw that there was silence inside the door, separated by a huge bookshelf, on this side of the bookshelf was a wooden table, on the wooden table was placed calligraphy and paintings with ink not dry, and there was a gap next to the bookshelf that just passed through one person, and the faint sound of coughing came from that side.
Ming Xiu frowned slightly, he turned his eyes to look at Princess Gao Chen, and saw Princess Gao Chen pluck up the courage to go inside and say, "Mother...... The child is back. ”
There was silence inside for a while, and there was a violent cough, Princess Gao Chen frowned and walked inside, and Chu Nian and the others followed.
The cabinet separated by bookshelves is still a hole, this cabinet is like a bedroom, and at the other end is a huge paper window, next to the paper window is a soft collapse, next to the soft collapse is a square table, on the square table are all kinds of melons and fruits and a bitter soup bowl, at the moment there is still half a bowl left in the soup bowl, still steaming.
On the couch was a richly dressed middle-aged woman, looking about the same size as the empress, but her face was haggard, and she was wearing a plain white middle coat, at this moment she was coughing violently, and Princess Gao Chen stepped forward to help her up, who was originally half-lying, leaned on the soft edge, and carefully fed a sip of water, which gradually turned a little ruddy.
She looked up at Princess Gao Chen beside her, her face didn't seem to look good, "Why do you want to come back?" Who is your mother? ”
Chu Nian and Ming Xiu glanced at each other, and saw Princess Gao Chen coaxing in a low voice: "Mother, the child now knows that he is wrong, don't be angry, lest you hurt yourself again." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lord Gao Chen seemed to realize that there were still outsiders, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, and turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian and Ming Xiu, and the wisdom in those eyes made Chu Nian can't help but feel a little awe in his heart.
I heard Lord Gao Chen's voice from the other side, "These two are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the County Lord, who have been active in my Western Chu recently?" ”
Thinking about it, although Lord Gao Chen stayed at home, she still knew a lot about the outside world, but she didn't know how much she knew.
Chu Nian smiled slightly, and looked at Lord Gao Chen with Ming Xiu, who nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen Lord Gao Chen." ”
Lord Gao Chen saw that Ming Xiu was talented and polite, he couldn't help but nod appreciatively, and shook his head again: "I am no longer Lord Gao Chen, and now most of the rights of Gao Chen's family are ......."
She raised her head, glanced at her little son who was close at hand with some melancholy, and after a while, she sighed again before she said: "It is estimated that later, the fourth prince will come to the door, you child, you have caused me trouble since I was a child." ”
Seeing that Lord Gao Chen seemed to have some blame but not blame, Princess Gao Chen lowered her head with some guilt, and saw Lord Gao Chen raise her eyes to look at the two people standing quietly on the side, "I also bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Wushuang County Lord to help block it later, after all, I am old, if the fourth prince is really angry, I can't bear it." ”
"Besides, Wu'er is of great use to you right now, right?"
