"Your Highness, you ...... Don't worry about me, the emperor...... Now should be the time when you need the company of others the most...... You'd better spend more time with him. ”

Thinking that Gao Zhan would end up in such a field, and the person who poisoned him was very likely to be the closest relatives around him, Gu Zimo's heart was panicked for a while.

For the supreme throne, brothers can kill each other, fathers and sons can fight each other, and relatives have long become a joke.

Although Gao Changgong didn't say it explicitly, Gao Zhan's poison is very likely to be under the current saint Gao Wei.

After all, when Gao Zhan was in power, it was when Gao Changgong was the most high-spirited, and everyone was selfish, and the queen united with the prime minister and Gao Wei to poison Gao Zhan.

Everything has been planned since that time, just for today, once the Emperor Taishang dies, Gao Changgong will have no support.

It's just that in order to balance Gao Changgong, the other party can ignore the people of a city, and can abandon the father who gave birth to him.

Emperor? Emperor? No wonder Gao Changgong disdains that position, that position is indeed the most cold-blooded and ruthless in the world.

"I ...... I don't know how to face him, this time, Uncle Jiu, he could have stood by and watched. ”

As long as the Emperor Taishang stands by and watches, there will be no problem, but there will be a city and his Gao Changgong to accompany the funeral.

However, Gao Zhan didn't do that after all.

"Perhaps, in this world, fathers and sons can kill each other, brothers can be slaughtered, but, in the heart of the Emperor, there is a pure land, that is you, for you, he gave up his life, it is enough to see that you are very important to him, Your Highness, beautiful scenery, you can see everywhere, but, the last time of the Emperor's life, go and never return, accompany him more, even if it is to talk to him, recall the past."

Gu Zimo's sincere tone made Gao Changgong's face shake a little.

"Your Highness, if you don't dislike it, I can paint a deputy Danqing for you and the Emperor Taishang, at least, so that his last days will not be lonely."

……

Gao Zhan looked at Gu Zimo's serious painting on the other side, and a gentle smile appeared on his old face.

"That kid has a very kind heart."

Gao Changgong looked directly at the person painting in front of him and echoed: "Well, he has always been like this. ”

"With him with you, I can finally leave with peace of mind."

"I ......"

"It's a pity that I can't see the time for you to get married."

Gao Zhan shook his head bitterly, Gao Changgong reached out and held Gao Zhan's hand, "Uncle Jiu, I don't blame you, Brother Xiaoyu has never blamed you, it's time for you to let yourself go." ”

"Really?" Gao Zhan's tone was very sad and sad, as if he would cry at any time, but his eyes were dry, and it was impossible for tears to fall out at all.

"It was my own order to kill him and his wife and children, how could Xiaoyu not blame me? It was I who turned my back on him to inherit the throne, and I was the one who watched him be put to death...... I'm just trying to prove that there's nothing in this world that can't be left behind, dear? Love? Or maybe it's the uncle-nephew relationship between me and Xiaoyu that is not tolerated in this world or even unethical, but in the end, it's too late for me to understand......"

Gao Changgong was speechless, and he couldn't comment on this unknown past between Gao Xiaoyu and Gao Zhan.

However, there is one thing, Gao Zhan is regretting it now, he can still see it.

"Brother Xiaoyu is right, you are not wrong, if you don't inherit the throne and don't be the emperor, maybe, you will have a different ending, he won't die, and you won't die and you can't forgive yourself......"

"That's why you refused to inherit the throne in the first place, right?" Gao Zhan's eyes looked at Gu Zimo, and a bitter smile overflowed at the corner of his lips, "At that time, Xiaoyu was also like him, kind and upright, in my darkest, when I was most hesitant, I would always use the purest smile to let me find the motivation to persevere, Xiaoyu even married a woman he didn't want to marry in order to break the rumors and let me sit on the throne smoothly and marry a woman he didn't want to marry, Xiaoyu he...... For me...... Do everything willingly...... But I ...... Forced him, imprisoned him, tortured him...... I even killed his wife and children in front of him until I forced him to death...... When he drank the poisoned wine, he wept...... He said to me...... Gao Zhan, you are finally invincible in the world, and no one can control you anymore, can you finally be happy? ”

Gao Zhan buried his face in his knees, "How can I be happy...... Since his death, I have lived in chaos all day long, and I know what outsiders say about me, slaughtering my nephew and sister-in-law is addicted to absurdity and tyranny! Hehe, I don't care, I just want to forget about him, I thought I would forget him after all...... But until now, Kyo'er, you know what? My mind is full of bits and pieces of getting along with Xiaoyu...... He's engraved in my mind. ”

Gao Changgong didn't know what to say, perhaps, this was the last heart-to-heart conversation with Gao Zhan.

These words have probably been pressing on Gao Xiaoyu's heart since his death, and this pain that made Gao Zhan breathless, finally, he is willing to say it to people today.

"Gong'er, when I die, burn my body and scatter my ashes to the river where he left......"

“…… Okay, I promise you. ”

Gao Zhan finally smiled, with a hint of relief in his smile.

He leaned back in his chair slowly, his eyes closed permanently.

When Gu Zimo finished painting, he saw such a scene, Gao Changgong sat there lightly, looking at Gao Zhan with a calm face, and Gao Zhan leaned on the back of the chair, as if he was just asleep, but his hand fell in the air.

"Your Royal Highness, the Emperor is ......"

"Uncle Nine, he's already ...... Dead. ”

Although Gao Zhan did not mourn after his death, there was still news left in Yecheng.

Although the relationship between the current saint Gao Wei and Gao Changgong's father and son is cold, after all, he still has to make a show.

Gao Changgong's original intention was to carry Gao Zhan's ashes to the river where Gao Xiaoyu's body was thrown away after his death, but Gao Wei made it clear that he wanted to be against him.

"No, what is the identity of the Emperor? How can you be buried elsewhere after death? Naturally, I want to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and I have already decided to be buried in the Yongping Mausoleum. The fourth brother doesn't need to say anything more about this matter. ”

After Gao Wei finished speaking, he ordered the palace people to take away Gao Zhan's ashes.

For Cushman & Wakefield's style of acting, Gao Changgong has long been commonplace.

This royal brother likes to rob his belongings since he was a child, and when he is older, he likes to rob his people.

Even Gao Wei's own concubines in the palace now, several of them are official eunuchs and nobles who once admired Gao Changgong.

If it weren't for Hu Lu Xue's wild nature and strong martial arts, I am afraid that he would have been included in the harem by Gao Wei.

"The air in this mountain is really good, much better than Yecheng, no wonder my father is reluctant to return to the palace as soon as he stays."

Cushman & Wakefield did not have the grief of his father's death at all.

Gu Zimo watched from afar, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He secretly looked at Gao Changgong and found that Gao Changgong's face was extremely cold.

Gao Wei suddenly, retracted from a distance, turned around and walked towards Gao Changgong, pointed to Gu Zimo behind Gao Changgong, and said, "Fourth brother, he is the man in Xiaolin's girl's picture, right?" ”

Gao Changgong's face turned cold, and he raised his hand to block between Gao Wei and Gu Zimo.

"He's my staff." The tone was loud.

Cushman snorted and laughed, "Of course I know that he is your staff, and I also know that you are ...... for him I almost lost my life, tsk, fourth brother, I really can't see that you are so affectionate and righteous to your subordinates, which makes me envious. ”

"If the emperor has nothing else to do, please forgive Weichen for retiring."

Gao Changgong obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with Gao Wei, and was about to leave after holding Gu Zimo's hand, Gao Wei suddenly said sharply: "Slow." ”

"Fourth brother, what are you anxious about?"

Gao Changgong turned his head coldly, saw Gao Wei smiling, and walked over step by step, only to see Gao Wei's hand on Gu Zimo's shoulder, "He looks far worse than the fourth brother, how the fourth brother is so special to him, I can't figure it out." ”

"......" Gu Zimo's body trembled violently, this current saint was so provocative Gao Changgong.

He was a little worried that Gao Changgong would have a seizure, but it was obvious that Gao Changgong was more calm than he imagined.

"When you don't do this emperor, maybe you will understand."

After Gao Changgong finished speaking, he pulled Gu Zimo's head and left without looking back.

Gao Wei stood in place, the smile on his face seemed to freeze on his face, and after a long time, he shrugged his shoulders, "Don't you be the emperor?" Oh, do you think I want to be the emperor? If it weren't for you, who would want to be this loner. However, fourth brother, in order to suppress you, this emperor, I will definitely continue to be a good one. As long as I am the emperor for one day, you can only bow down to the courtiers for one day, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only be controlled by me. ”

"Your Majesty, why are you here alone? It's heavy outside, beware of catching a cold......"

"Concubine Ai is too worried, my body is tough and not in the way, it's you, I have to come with me, what's the matter, do you want to take this opportunity to see King Lanling?"

Gao Wei's face changed suddenly, the concubine's face turned pale, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged...... The concubine had no other thoughts, just purely wanted to be by His Majesty's side...... Your Majesty is discerning. ”

"Stay with me? When he is tall and courteous? ”

Gao Wei's hand suddenly grabbed the concubine's neck, "It's a pity that you don't even have the qualifications to do fine work." ”

With a bang, the concubine's neck was twisted off, and she fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Gao Wei glanced at the cold corpse, frowned and said to the palace people: "Throw the corpse into the mountains to feed the wolves." ”

"No."

As soon as Gao Wei returned to the palace, he immediately summoned the prime minister.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

"Aiqing, I came to you today, do you know what's going on?"

"The old minister doesn't know, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear."

"A few days ago, I saw the staff member next to Gao Changgong, it's ridiculous, that kind of person, I really can't figure it out."

"This ...... I don't know if Your Majesty wants to ......"

"Check the details of that staff member for me, what he did before, and when did he hook up with Gao Changgong."

"The old minister takes the order."

"Also, issue a holy decree for me to marry Princess Xiaolin, and the colt is the staff, you can do it immediately."
