Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The Trap
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.Long moon and autumnal equinox, the season of coolness passing through the frost, the remaining flowers in the garden are like the lonely sky, drifting with the wind.The rotten tea leaves fall like frost and snow, turning into fleeting years everywhere.
Empress Hu's bedroom was brightly lit.
"Shikai, the emperor seems to know that Xiaoyu's death is related to me." The queen gently arranged the position for playing chess.
He Shikai narrowed his beautiful blue eyes, "Your Majesty, even if the Emperor knows, he won't blame you. In his heart, he wants that woman to disappear. Besides, it doesn't matter whether the Emperor knows about it or not." Yes, to make Gao Changgong doubt the emperor is our purpose."
"But after all, the child conceived by that woman is Chang Gong's child... Your Majesty..."
"The emperor's love is very selfish, ma'am." He Shi laughed, "Except for Gao Changgong, he doesn't love anyone. He doesn't care about anyone. If we don't need to do it, the emperor can't help but kill that one with his own hands." Where's the woman?"
"But even if Chang Gong doubts the emperor, it seems that it is still difficult to break with the emperor."
"That's just a prelude, ma'am, have you forgotten? There is still Gao Xiaowan in the prison."
"This is even more difficult. We have done so many things with deliberation, and even got Gao Xiaowan's contract to buy maple trees and changed it into a weapon contract. But the emperor just dragged it for the sake of Chang Gong. I think the emperor obviously wanted to let go. He's a horse." The queen showed a worried look.
"That's not necessarily the case." He Shikai looked out of the window, and there was an extremely dense silk rain falling from the sky at an unknown time.Like a curtain, it confused the eyes of the world. "The emperor sent someone to investigate the matter, and got the contract, plus the relics and weapons found earlier, I am afraid that 90% of my heart believes that Gao Xiaowan has the intention of treason, and the remaining 10% do not believe it. Because of Gao Changgong. In the subconscious of the emperor, there is no doubt that he wanted to kill Gao Xiaowan, but he knew what kind of blow it would bring to Gao Changgong, so he forced himself to keep the whole thing. Maybe only in this way can he control Stop your own murder."
"The emperor has always been ruthless, killing people without blinking an eye, let alone 90%, if it is someone else, even if it is only 10%, the emperor will not let them go. Now that he can do this for Chang Gong, I wonder if it is a kind of Sad." The queen bent down and threw the chess piece into the ditch, "If this is the case, our goal will not be achieved. When will Chang Gong turn against the emperor?" There was a burst of joy in her eyes, and she couldn't wait any longer. See how her husband is being tortured.
"Hurry up, the emperor's 100% disbelief will soon disappear."
"Disappear?" The queen turned her head in surprise, "Have you already found a solution? But Shi Kai, Chang Gong seems to have gone to find Zhu Gang now. At that time, you should have killed Zhu Gang. Now if Chang Gong If Gong finds Zhu Gang...we only have half a month left."
"I have been waiting for Gao Changgong to leave Yecheng, so that my plan can be guaranteed to be implemented." He stretched out his hand to the window, and the cold silk rain slid across his slender fingers, and the center fell down.A few remaining wisps of rainwater brushed over his white wrist and slid down like a silver thread.However, the smile on his lips was a little cold...
"Don't worry, I still have a trump card to play, Gao Xiaowan - he is dead."
One evening three days later. In the twilight, the setting sun, which is half hanging from the sky, is revealing the glow of the sky, showing a red color. In Zhaoyang Hall, Gao Zhan was reclining on the soft couch with his left hand resting on the side of his head, as if he was concentrating on a certain book.Those brown eyes revealed a strange light from time to time, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and her whole body exuded an indescribable beauty. Wang Ge, who was accompanying him at the side, sighed softly in his heart. From noon to now, the book in the emperor's hand has hardly been flipped. It seems that the emperor must be too fuzzy.If I didn't guess wrong, I was probably worried about King Lanling.He just felt that he was too dull. How could he have not noticed the emperor's strange affection for King Lanling for such a long time?If it wasn't because of the Emperor Lanling's distraught look after the birthday of King Lanling, he might not have thought of this... Just when he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing outside the hall, and that person smiled at him as usual. It turned out to be He-sama... Wang Ge hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, He-sama is asking to see you outside the palace." Gao Zhan seemed to have recovered, nodded, "Let him in." As soon as He Shikai came in, he said straight to the point, "Your Majesty, I want you to meet someone today." Gao Zhan raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "Who?" He Shikai just raised his lips and smiled, and said to the outside of the hall, "Come in." As soon as he finished speaking, a young woman came in slowly from the door, bowed, and said softly , "Cui Lan, the guilty woman, sees the emperor." Gao Zhan seemed a little surprised, "Shi Kai, is she the one you want me to meet?" "It's her." He Shikai glanced at Cui Lan, "Princess Hejian, don't you have something to say to the emperor?" "Yes, sir." Cui Lan said calmly, "Your Majesty, the criminal woman has something to report personally, and this matter is related to the criminal woman's husband." "Oh?" Gao Zhan raised his chin slightly, "Princess, if you are pleading for your husband, then there is no need to say anything." "No, Your Majesty," Cui Lan suddenly raised her head, "The sinful woman saw with her own eyes that the prince hangs a portrait of His Majesty every day and cries at it every night, just to curse His Majesty to die early!" Gao Zhan's pupils constricted suddenly, but his face remained calm, "Can you see clearly?" Cui Lan lowered her head with a guilty conscience, but even if she lowered her eyes, she couldn't resist the waves in her eyes at this moment. After a moment of hesitation, she raised her head again, and continued firmly, " "Your Majesty, the criminal woman is absolutely right. Also, the prince often shoots arrows with a straw man to vent his anger. In private, he tells the criminal woman that the straw man is Your Majesty. Although the criminal woman does not know about the purchase of weapons, she still has no idea." He did spend a lot of money on that trip to the south..." Gao Zhan's brown eyes were filled with anger, turning into dark brown.He lowered his eyes and looked down at the princess, like a king looking down on the world, not allowing her to hide anything. "Is everything you said true?" "Your Majesty, isn't it too ridiculous for a criminal woman to bet the lives of her entire family just to tell a lie? The criminal woman can swear to the heavens that if she makes a false statement, she will definitely die without a place to die." Cui Lan finished speaking. He bit his lower lip tightly, and soon a few small drops of blood appeared on that pale lip. He suddenly raised his head, his eyes changed violently, and finally he sneered slowly, his clear voice deepened slowly, and he asked with a piercing chill, "Princess Hejian, as the wife of King Hejian, why don't you help me?" He concealed it, but betrayed him instead?" "Your Majesty, the criminal woman knows that the prince cannot escape the death penalty, but the child is innocent. I beg the emperor to spare our child's life for the sake of the criminal woman's telling the truth. I beg the emperor to forgive me..." He said, Cui Lan repeatedly kowtowed several times. "Your Majesty," He Shikai also took a step forward, "According to the laws of my Daqi, the crime of treason must be punished by the family, but for the sake of Princess Hejian's justice, I ask the Emperor to spare their lives." , and demote them all to civilians." As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Lan suddenly raised his head and glanced at him, and the two quickly exchanged a subtle look. "Your Majesty, now that Princess Hejian has admitted it, and with the previous evidence, the witnesses and physical evidence are convincing. Please, Your Majesty, convict King Hejian as soon as possible." Gao Zhan didn't speak, and his deep and quiet pupils were shining coldly like a sharp dagger. Because of Chang Gong, there was a trace of disbelief hidden deep in his heart, but... all the things in front of him , is about to destroy this last trace of unbelief... "Furthermore, Your Majesty, as far as I know, the relationship between Hejian Wang and his wife has always been very good. If Hejian Wang hadn't really objected, which woman would frame her husband?" He Shikai took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames. "Enough!" Gao Zhan interrupted him coldly, and spoke slowly, with an indifference in his voice that could not be resisted, and a faint glint of ice in his eyes, "Bring Gao Xiaowan here immediately, I want to interrogate him personally. " When Gao Xiaowan was brought in front of Zhaoyang Hall, he was also a little puzzled.Since he was imprisoned, the emperor has been letting him hang there, why did he suddenly think of interrogating him today?Could it be that Chang Gong is back? Today's Zhaoyang Palace reveals a strange atmosphere, as if surrounded by thick darkness, like a dormant beast, revealing a dangerous murderous aura all the time.When he saw He Shikai there, he felt a bad feeling in his heart. "Chen Gao Xiaowan sees the emperor." He didn't kneel down, but just performed an ordinary courtesy. He Shikai smiled maliciously, "King Hejian, I'm afraid you should call yourself a criminal minister now, right?" "Heshi, you bastard, this king has no crime at all, so how can he be called a criminal minister!" Xiao Wan glanced at him contemptuously, then turned his head away. "Gao Xiaowan, you still dare to say that you are innocent?" Gao Zhan glanced at him expressionlessly. He was already in an extremely bad mood, but seeing his arrogant attitude made him even more annoyed.Today is the sixteenth day, and Chang Gong hasn't come back yet, so it seems that there is no evidence for the contract. Gao Xiaowan's crime must be punished, but he will remember his words and keep Gao Xiaowan's life. "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of treason!" Xiao Wan said loudly without fear, "If I wanted to rebel, I would have done so long ago in Jinyang!" "Bold!" He Shikai interrupted him, "Now the evidence is convincing, you can't help but admit it!" Xiao Wan couldn't help but said angrily, "You treacherous villain, are you qualified to talk to this king? What is it! Don't think that this king doesn't know that you, a bitch from the Western Regions, are behind it!" He Shikai's eyes flickered, and he suddenly showed a cruel smile, "King Hejian, if your concubine hadn't said it herself, the emperor really didn't know that you cursed at his portrait every day. What is it to rebel?" Xiao Wan was taken aback, "What did you say? What portrait of the emperor? How could Lan'er..." He suddenly glared at He Shikai angrily, and said loudly, "Even if this is the case, it must have something to do with you. What did you do!" He Shikai smiled slightly, "I didn't do anything." "Your Majesty, he first harmed my eldest brother, and now he is here to harm me. He is clearly targeting our Gao family! Do you have to wait until he kills the fourth brother to see clearly!" Xiao Wan was angry and said impulsively. Before he finished speaking, Gao Zhan already had a cold and sullen expression on his face, but he still suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice, "Gao Xiaowan, it seems that you have always been dissatisfied with me. What do you mean that I don't care about anything now?" If you can’t see clearly, it’s no different from a faint king.” Xiao Wan took a deep breath and said with a heartbeat, "Your Majesty, if you keep this villain by your side again, it will not be far from becoming a foolish king." "Presumptuous! How dare you insult the emperor! Come here, slap him on the mouth!" Seeing Gao Zhan's face, He Shikai immediately shrouded in a layer of cold mist, his eyes turned cold, and his brown pupils became darker and darker. He quickly guessed his mind. Two strong bodyguards came forward and slapped Xiao Wan's face violently, Xiao Wan's mouth was bleeding quickly, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, nor begged for mercy.The more stubborn he was, the more he made Gao Zhan angry, and the two clusters of angry flames burning in the pair of brown eyes became more and more frightening. With dozens of palms down, Xiao Wan spat out the blood in his mouth with a gulp. There were two broken teeth inside. He only glanced at it, raised his head again, and said in a low voice, "Ninth Uncle, I It's all true!" Gao Zhan frowned, stood up with a flick of his sleeves, walked to his side, and said coldly, "Who is your uncle Jiu! Who are you, you dare to call me Uncle Jiu!" He doesn't like other people using this title.For anyone other than Chang Gong, he only plays the same role, which is the one who rules the country - the king of a country. Although Xiaowan was beaten until he vomited blood, he still remained proud and replied loudly: "I, Gao Xiaowan, am the grandson of Emperor Shenwu, the son of Emperor Wenxiang, and the nephew of Emperor Xiaojing of the Wei Dynasty. Can't you call your majesty uncle!" Gao Zhan didn't expect that he would dare to refute, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed with a bloodthirsty chill in his smile, and a frightening light flashed in his eyes, "Okay, okay, then let me Uncle taught you what the rules are!" As he spoke, he made a gesture and simply said three words: "Call me!" When He Shikai saw the gesture, an expected smile appeared on his lips. After all, the emperor still cared about Chang Gong, even in such a furious situation, he still did not forget to make such a gesture.As long as the executioner knows that as long as the emperor makes this gesture, it means that the emperor will save the life of the person who was punished by the stick. However, what he has been waiting for is this moment. Your Majesty, you must not know that Gao Xiaowan's fate has already been decided when you uttered these few words. King of Hejian - Can't see the sunrise tomorrow morning. The two guards glanced at him, as if they exchanged glances, immediately raised the stick in their hands, and hit Xiao Wan's thigh hard... The setting sun in the sky is like a drop of bright red blood, falling slowly and resolutely... At this time, Chang Gong had brought Zhu Gang back to Ye City, and was rushing towards the palace right now.She managed to find Zhu Gang who opened a new shop in Tongzhou before, and after threatening his whole family's life to force him to tell the truth, she immediately took him to Yecheng with great anxiety. Come.Unexpectedly, there was a heavy rain on the road, and the ferry couldn't go, so it was delayed for two days on the road, and it turned out to be one day later than she expected. When she just arrived at the gate of the palace, she was about to tie up her horse, when she suddenly saw Heng Jia walking towards the palace in a hurry, she couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly called his name. When Heng Jia turned his head and saw her, his expression changed, and he immediately pointed to the person beside her and said, "This person is Zhu Gang?" "Yes, Henga, I—" "Then quickly take him to Zhaoyang Palace!" Heng interrupted her with a solemn expression, "The emperor suddenly interrogated Xiao Wan today, and I just got the news. I'm afraid it's not a good thing." "What!" Chang Gong was startled, pulled the rein in a panic and handed it to Heng Jia, and when he pulled Zhu Gang up to go in, he saw two palace maidens coming out of the palace in panic, and said in a low voice He said, "You, have you seen that the King of Hejian..." Upon hearing the words Hejian Wang, Chang Gong felt that he was about to stop breathing. She grabbed one of the maids and said sharply, "What's wrong with Hejian Wang!" The maid trembled in fright, "Slave, I don't know, this servant just happened to see the emperor scolding King Hejian... so... a lot of blood..." Chang Gong's pupils constricted suddenly, her feet staggered, and she almost fell, as if something exploded inside her body, smashing her to pieces, and falling into an abyss, an extremely dark and deep canyon.She felt as if she was constantly falling, unable to grab anything to cling to, just kept falling like this... The next moment, she pulled the rein with one hand, turned on the horse, and just rode straight into it. Palace to go! Uncle Jiu, why did you do this? Why do this with your own commitments? Why can't you wait for me? Why don't you even give me alms for one more day? If the third brother has any accident... If he has any accident... If you do something so cruel, I will never, never forgive you. Running wildly against the wind, ignoring the person knocked down by her horse, she just waved the rein and rushed into Zhaoyang Hall in one breath.When she saw that scene that was more terrifying than a nightmare, her vision was torn apart by the dazzling light for an instant, and the fragments pouring in from the gap had never been so bright red and viscous enough to make people dizzy.She suddenly felt that her chest was empty, as if someone pulled out the soul from her body, tore it into pieces, and scattered it into the air, she could even hear the tragic tearing sound!It was as if something stretched out transparent tentacles, trying to entangle her and drag her into an unknown abyss.A chill rose from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and the severe pain occupied all her thoughts. "——Third brother, after you come out, we two brothers will go to live in that beautiful place for a period of time, watch the sunrise and sunset every day, the flowers bloom and fade, drink with the moon phase, and live a simple life, Are you okay..." "Okay, the third brother will accompany you! The third brother will definitely be fine." "Don't——" It was the voice of the whole soul weeping and screaming, and the internal organs of the body were convulsed with pain. The surrounding voices receded as quickly as the tide, she couldn't hear her own screams, her hearing seemed to be blocked by an invisible demon... In her dark pupils, she couldn't see Gao Zhan with a pale face, and He Shi with a complex expression. Even though she couldn't see the guards whose hands were still stained with blood, there was only a small corner of her world shining through the darkness. Her legs were so numb that she couldn't walk, she staggered, as if floating, and slowly knelt down in front of the slightly twitching body. As if sensing something, Xiao Wan unexpectedly opened his eyes slowly, and when he saw her, he let out a weeping smile, and murmured her name, "Chang Gong..." "Third Brother... Please don't die, please..." Her body and heart were trembling violently, "We watch the sunrise and sunset every day, the flowers bloom and wither, drink with the moon phase, and live a simple life." Simple days, do you think it’s okay? Okay?” He nodded with all his strength, but he never said that good word... In that instant, her whole world—crashed. She rushed forward, tightly, tightly hugging that warm body in her arms, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, but she was calmer than ever in her heart, just looking at the miserable My own self, lonely and cold, crumbled little by little. Uncle Jiu, I don't forgive you... I don't forgive you... This time I didn't even forgive myself. This was the last sound she heard, and the only string maintaining balance in her mind was completely broken.
One evening three days later. In the twilight, the setting sun, which is half hanging from the sky, is revealing the glow of the sky, showing a red color. In Zhaoyang Hall, Gao Zhan was reclining on the soft couch with his left hand resting on the side of his head, as if he was concentrating on a certain book.Those brown eyes revealed a strange light from time to time, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and her whole body exuded an indescribable beauty.

Running wildly against the wind, ignoring the person knocked down by her horse, she just waved the rein and rushed into Zhaoyang Hall in one breath.When she saw that scene that was more terrifying than a nightmare, her vision was torn apart by the dazzling light for an instant, and the fragments pouring in from the gap had never been so bright red and viscous enough to make people dizzy.She suddenly felt that her chest was empty, as if someone pulled out the soul from her body, tore it into pieces, and scattered it into the air, she could even hear the tragic tearing sound!It was as if something stretched out transparent tentacles, trying to entangle her and drag her into an unknown abyss.A chill rose from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and the severe pain occupied all her thoughts. "——Third brother, after you come out, we two brothers will go to live in that beautiful place for a period of time, watch the sunrise and sunset every day, the flowers bloom and fade, drink with the moon phase, and live a simple life, Are you okay..." "Okay, the third brother will accompany you! The third brother will definitely be fine." "Don't——" It was the voice of the whole soul weeping and screaming, and the internal organs of the body were convulsed with pain. The surrounding voices receded as quickly as the tide, she couldn't hear her own screams, her hearing seemed to be blocked by an invisible demon... In her dark pupils, she couldn't see Gao Zhan with a pale face, and He Shi with a complex expression. Even though she couldn't see the guards whose hands were still stained with blood, there was only a small corner of her world shining through the darkness. Her legs were so numb that she couldn't walk, she staggered, as if floating, and slowly knelt down in front of the slightly twitching body. As if sensing something, Xiao Wan unexpectedly opened his eyes slowly, and when he saw her, he let out a weeping smile, and murmured her name, "Chang Gong..." "Third Brother... Please don't die, please..." Her body and heart were trembling violently, "We watch the sunrise and sunset every day, the flowers bloom and wither, drink with the moon phase, and live a simple life." Simple days, do you think it’s okay? Okay?” He nodded with all his strength, but he never said that good word... In that instant, her whole world—crashed. She rushed forward, tightly, tightly hugging that warm body in her arms, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, but she was calmer than ever in her heart, just looking at the miserable My own self, lonely and cold, crumbled little by little. Uncle Jiu, I don't forgive you... I don't forgive you... This time I didn't even forgive myself. This was the last sound she heard, and the only string maintaining balance in her mind was completely broken.
