295, the precipice (2)
Yuan Xian first wrote his name, and then handed the edict to the people around him, when the people were particularly arrogant, and when the edict was passed back to Yuan Xian's hands, the back was already full of people's names. Some people are illiterate, but they still ask the people around them to help them write. Yuan Xian carefully put away the yellow silk with the edict written on it, and withdrew from the small tent after a few perfunctory words.
Returning to his residence, he shook the edict in front of Li Rongyu, and the row of ranking words written in the blood of his fingertips on the back almost made her cheer. She held the edict and said with a smile, "When these people wake up from their wine, they will understand that they have been on the 'thief ship' of King Shiping, even if they want to follow the prince of Dongyang again, they must worry about whether this list will be seen by him in the future, so it is better to simply abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”
Yuan Xian stretched out two fingers, took the edict away from her, and carefully put it in his arms and put it away, "I'm afraid that it won't be until tomorrow morning, and this news will reach the ears of the prince of Dongyang." He must have come here to ruin this edict. Let's get some rest tonight, and after dawn the situation will be even more dangerous. ”
Li Hanzhen silently walked to the inner room, took out a quilt, put it on the small couch in the outer room, and said to Yuan Xian, "The prince will be here tonight, and I will go to the inner room with Langyu." ”
Li Rongyu wanted to say something, but Li Hanzhen pulled him up and dragged him directly into the room. Yuan Xun whispered behind them, "Change into a convenient short coat and go to sleep, and be alert at night." ”
In the Luoyang Palace, Feng Miao coughed on the bed for a while, and the moonlight shone in through the rhombic flower grid on the window, casting a boxy shadow on the ground. Her chest was uncomfortable, she really couldn't sleep, she put on her clothes and got up, and as soon as she lifted the corner of the yarn, the little palace maid who was on night outside hurriedly ran over, "Niangniang, what do you want?" Just tell the slave to do it. ”
Su Wen's hand is not good yet, and the Lingshu has not come back yet, and Yuan Hong has transferred a teenage girl from nowhere to take care of her. Feng Miao saw the unfamiliar face and asked casually, "Where did the emperor go?" The little palace maid probably just entered the palace not long ago, and when she saw Zhaoyi Niangniang asking, she immediately knelt down and replied, "The emperor went out alone just now, and he didn't say where to go." ”
Feng Miao felt a little strange in her heart, because she had an asthma attack and was inconvenient to move, she slept in Chengyang Palace, Yuan Hong left her dormitory late at night, where could she go? She paced to the outer hall, and originally wanted to walk around the courtyard, but she had only moved a few steps before she felt out of breath, so she could only sit down in front of the bookcase first.
There were a few pieces of paper scattered on the bookcase, Feng Miao flipped through them casually, and on one of the pieces of paper were two names Gao Zhaorong and Gao Gao Huan, and next to the three words Gao Zhaorong, a small circle was also ticked. Yuan Hong had already suspected the two brothers and sisters, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to draw out the forces behind them, Yuan Hong would have attacked them a long time ago. The King of the North Sea, the King of Dongyang, and even the people of the Southern Dynasty are all involved with them, but none of these forces can control the two brothers and sisters, on the contrary, it seems that the two brothers and sisters have always been circling among them, treating everyone as their own tools.
Feng Miao put the piece of paper back in its place, although she had known Gao Gao Huan since she was a child, she had never been able to really see through him. With his wisdom and insight, he has always been willing to be an internal official, which in itself is an unbelievable thing. She was about to pace back to the inner hall, when a thought suddenly rushed into her mind, Yuan Hong left Chengyang Palace at this time, most likely to go to the small Buddha Hall!
She knew that she was having a wheezing attack, and she couldn't go fast no matter what, so she hurriedly called someone to pass the soft sedan chair to go to the small Buddha hall. Gao Zhaorong's mind is insidious, Yuan Hong's illness has just flareed up, and now that the prince is in rebellion, he will be deposed sooner or later, and Ke'er is the logical candidate for the new prince. If you murder Yuan Hong at this time, it will be the most beneficial to Gao Zhaorong.
The soft sedan chair soon came, and Feng Miao told the little eunuch who carried the sedan chair to slow down, and told them to hurry up to the small Buddha hall. She lifted the sedan curtain and looked out anxiously, and saw the lights in the small Buddha hall from a distance. As soon as the soft sedan car stopped, she hurried in.
The Buddha hall is full of sandalwood, and on both sides of the long corridor, there is an arm-thick wax standing every few steps, illuminating the entire corridor as bright as day, but the night outside the door is even darker and deeper.
At the end of the corridor, Gao Zhaorong knelt on the futon, his hands clasped together, his face covered with light veil, and his green silk was scattered behind him, and he only used a ribbon to tie loosely at the end of his hair. Yuan Hong sat opposite her with one hand on his knees, and spoke in a deep voice, with a bit of helplessness and disgust in his tone, "The first time I saw you, you kept laughing like this, and didn't say a word." At that time, I was only a pampered young lady, with some minor faults, but after all, it was still like a loquat fruit, half sour and half sweet, more likable than annoying. ”
Gao Zhaorong gently blew forward, and the light yarn in front of him floated up, and a soft and charming voice came out from behind the light veil, "The emperor is only thinking about Sister Feng now, so he will naturally feel that Rong'er is annoying." She sighed faintly, "I already have delicious and beautiful apples in my hands, who would like loquat fruits?" ”
"Look," Yuan Hong stared at her, "do you know what is the most regrettable?" ”
Gao Zhaorong bent his eyes and smiled, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
"The most regrettable thing is to watch beautiful things rot inch by inch in front of you," Yuan Hong leaned forward slightly, "I still remember that you like to put a whole lilac on your forehead, leaving a light purple mark, and many people in the palace follow your example, but no one can get half of your charm." If your dexterity had been more devoted to these things, and less to the sidelines, you would still be a likable woman. Maybe I won't really love you, but I can respect you. ”
If it was an ordinary woman, hearing Yuan Hong's earnest words, most of them would have been deeply moved. But Gao Zhaorong is not an ordinary woman, she straightened her upper body, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, you left a beautiful woman here late at night, and said so many words patiently, do you want to ask something from Rong'er's mouth?" ”
She turned and took out the small wooden plate that had been prepared, on which were placed nine crystal clear glass cups, each containing half a glass of fine wine. She was grounded in the Buddhist hall and thought about it, but she was not treated too harshly in terms of use.
"Your Majesty, Rong'er has prepared nine glasses of fine wine," Gao Zhaorong's eyes were full of smiles, as if he was still in the Shuangming Palace, entertaining the emperor who occasionally came to sit, "Every time the emperor drinks a drink, he can ask me a question, I have answered, and I will have a drink, it depends on whether the emperor can ask the answer he wants." However, the emperor can only ask questions with yes or no, and I will only answer the emperor with yes or no. ”
Feng Miao, who had been standing in the corridor, was almost jumping out of his chest, Gao Zhaorong knew pharmacology, and he would definitely poison these wines. Before she could speak, Gao Zhaorong had already continued, her eyes reflecting the amber light in the glass cup, so charming that she was about to drip water, "These nine cups of fine wine are all made with different things, one of them is made of wood hibiscus, see whose luck can drink that cup, it is said that the wine made by wood hibiscus tastes better than bamboo leaf green." ”
Wood hibiscus is poisonous, and the wine it brews is naturally a poison that pierces the intestines.
Yuan Hong nodded and said "Okay", picked up the first glass of wine on his left hand, raised his head and drank it, "I want to know, have you been passing on news to the Southern Dynasty in private?" ”
He could send Gao Zhaorong to the Shen Torture Center and let Li Delu interrogate him properly, but he had no doubt that even if Li Delu used all the methods, Gao Zhaorong would not speak. A woman who can cut her cheek with a porcelain piece is afraid of anything else? This enchanting and mysterious woman has too many secrets to unravel.
Feng Miao's hand was clenched tightly, and seeing that Yuan Hong was safe and sound, she relaxed her heart a little and stared intently at the two people in the Buddhist hall. This question and answer, in addition to gambling with his life, is also a battle of brainpower, and Yuan Hong only has four chances at most to try his best to get the answer he wants. Feng Miao barely dared to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing his train of thought.
Gao Zhaorong picked up the second glass of wine in order, shook it lightly on his fingertips, nodded lightly and said "yes". She smiled slightly, and said a few more words, "The people of the Southern Dynasty want to know the situation here, so they asked me to pass on these news in exchange for a lot of money." ”
Yuan Hong knew that this sentence was true, and the letter she wrote could be sent to Xiao Luan's mansion in the Southern Dynasty, and this contact had obviously been going on for more than a day. He frowned slightly and asked, "Who are they?" ”
Gao Zhaorong raised his head and drank the wine in his cup, put down the empty glass and said, "Is this the emperor's second question?" If so, please ask the emperor to drink another glass of wine. ”
Yuan Hong chuckled and raised his glass, "Even if you drink this wine, you won't answer my question, because it's not a yes or no question." He drank the wine in his glass again and asked, "My second question is, are you the daughter of the Gao family?" ”
Gao Zhaorong smiled and shook his head, "No, in fact, even I don't know who my biological parents are." ”
Perhaps it was the strength of the wine that made her talk more, and after Gao Zhaorong drank the wine, she continued, "They gave birth to me but didn't want me anymore, only the hibiscus flower piercing the flesh and blood at the back of my head is the only symbol of my identity and blood." I grew up in the Southern Dynasty, they forced me to learn singing and dancing, learn rhetoric, learn how to serve men, I always thought that I would be sent to the Southern Dynasty Palace when I grew up, but I didn't expect that I was brought here later and became the daughter of the Gao family. ”
"So," Yuan Hong Shunji picked up another glass of wine, "Is the hibiscus tattoo on your body a mark of the Murong clan?" ”
Gao Zhaorong chuckled, "The emperor must already know the answer to this question, and he wasted an opportunity." ”
"It's not a waste," Yuan Hong cupped his glass to his lips and slowly drank it dry, "This question is very important to me, and I need to confirm it." ”
Gao Zhaorong sighed faintly, "Is it because Sister Feng also has this kind of tattoo on her body?" In the emperor's heart, she is the only one who matters most. ”
