Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Flaw Detection
It is night, sparse stars and pale moon.The moonlight shone on a courtyard in Yecheng, and the white walls and black tiles were covered with a layer of silver frost.The house is elegant and elegant, with a vermilion lacquer corridor around the main hall, and under the half-opened carved wooden window lattices, there is faint yellow candlelight, which adds a ray of warmth to the cool night.
Mr. Hulu, who had just been promoted to an official today, but was beaten at the same time, was lying helplessly on the couch in an indecent posture.But what makes him even more helpless now is the chatter of the people around him.
"Heng Jia, I really misjudged you, so you are so loyal! I would rather suffer a punishment for my fourth brother!" Xiao Wan said while patting him on the shoulder, "I am not in vain for you, my friend." pay!"
"Uh—Xiao Wan, can you be gentle? Don't you know I'm very fragile now?" Heng Jia frowned. This guy hasn't stopped since he stepped into this room. It seems that the way he looks at his lover makes him even more hairy. Maybe in Xiaowan's view, anyone who can help Chang Gong is the cutest person in the world.
"Third brother, you have been talking nonsense for a long time, but you should take out the medicine." Chang Gong, who had been silent since entering the door, couldn't stand it anymore.
"That's right, that's right, this is the ointment that Chang Gong asked for from the emperor, it's the most effective for healing wounds, use it quickly." Xiao Wan took a delicate porcelain box from Chang Gong's hand, thinking After thinking about it, "Why don't I apply it for you now."
Heng Jia almost jumped up in fright, and hurriedly said, "No, no, just leave it there."
Although he was a little surprised by Heng Jia's gaffe, Xiao Wan said again very enthusiastically, "Chang Gong, why don't you help him apply it."
"No!" This time, the two shouted in unison.
Chang Gong also raised his eyes to glance at the injured part of Heng Jia, his face turned red.Third brother, third brother, I will never come with him again.
"You two are so weird." Xiao Wan looked at the two with strange expressions, "Okay, do whatever you want, Chang Gong, let's go back first."
"Third brother, you go back first." Chang Gong's eyes fell on Heng Jia, "I still have something to say to him."
"Oh? That's right, you should thank him too, otherwise you will be the one who will be hit by the board." Xiao Wan didn't think much of it at all, and left first after a few instructions.
The room suddenly fell silent, the two of them were silent, but the faint scent of plum blossoms wafted in the air.
"Is there anything else you want to say to me?" Heng Jia put his chin on the back of his hand and asked nonchalantly.
"You know what I'm going to say." She sat on the side of his couch unceremoniously.
"Gao Changgong, how can you just sit on the side of a man's couch?" Heng Jia deliberately changed the topic.
"Hulu Hengjia, if you don't tell me, I will really apply the medicine for you?" She raised the porcelain box threateningly.
"Really? Then there's trouble." He bent his lips, "Actually, I'm just not used to being seen by men, so..."
"Hululhenga, you idiot." She interrupted him suddenly, her eyes began to turn red again, "Why did you do this? This doesn't look like you at all."
"Chang Gong, don't think of me too great, I'm only doing this for myself." He squinted his eyes, "Everyone can see that the emperor doesn't want to do anything to you, but he can't think of a suitable one for a while. Reasons to refute Li Wei and those people, after all, he is the emperor, and he can't be so obviously partial, even if he kills Li Wei, he will definitely lose his tongue, so at this time, someone needs to come out to admit all this, which can reflect the emperor's selflessness , and let Li Wei and others have nothing to say, this is a good way to have the best of both worlds. I only received twenty military sticks, but it made the emperor trust me even more, why not do it?"
As he said that, he pointed to the rewards piled up in the room, "Isn't this what the emperor meant?"
Chang Gong didn't make a sound, and suddenly laughed softly, "Even so, I still want to thank you, because if this person is He Shikai or even His Royal Highness, even if he can gain more trust from the emperor, you will be a fox." You won't have to suffer twenty military sticks for them, will you?"
The surrounding flowers and shadows are scattered, and the moon sneaks into the clouds.The night fog floated and moved, adding a touch of coolness to the air.
He was slightly taken aback, feeling a little drunk in his heart, and looked at her sideways, as if soaked in mist. The girl's soft and beautiful eyes were wet and bright, and her simple, open but bewitching smile attracted her. His heart approached her uncontrollably... Her soft hands took the initiative to hold his cold hands, freezing his unspoken words with warm temperature.She smiled brightly and charmingly.The gaze that stared at him pierced all his pretense wonderfully, as if it could shoot straight into his heart just like that...
"I want to get up, help me call someone in." He withdrew his gaze, trying to calm down his eager mood.
"What do you want? I'll help you." She blinked.
"Oh?" He lowered his eyes, with a sly look flowing from his long eyelashes, "But——I'm going to relieve myself."
"Ah! Then, then I'll call for you right away!"
Seeing her running away in a hurry, a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Zhaoyang Hall at this moment. Heshi Kai held his breath and carefully stared at Gao Zhan's slowly frowning brows. The emperor's gaze gradually became sinister, and the sharp eyes like a knife lingered on him for a long time, but he didn't say anything.Those treacherous eyes like ghosts clearly told him: The emperor—is angry. "He Shikai, I know that you have always been at odds with Chang Gong, what happened today—" After being silent for a long time, the emperor finally spoke. "Your Majesty, although I am at odds with King Lanling, I also know that the Emperor loves him very much. How could I do such a stupid thing? What's more, the Emperor also knows Li Wei. He has always been pedantic. Be flexible." He Shikai immediately guessed that the emperor was suspicious of him, and quickly left himself completely. The emperor pondered for a moment, then gradually withdrew his sharp eyes, and said in a low voice, "This Li Wei is really annoying..." "Your Majesty, why don't you just find an excuse and transfer him to a poor place later, so that you don't see him." He Shi laughed and said. "It's also a good way." The threatening murderous aura was fleeting in the emperor's eyes, so quickly, it almost made people think it was just an illusion. "At that time, he was injured by bandits on the road, that's because of his bad luck." He Shikai immediately understood, nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, the emperor, I will do it cleanly." He paused and said, "This time, King Lanling did not hesitate to disobey the military order and came to rescue him, which shows that he has deep feelings for the emperor. , without even caring about his own life.” The corner of Gao Zhan's mouth moved slightly. "Even among relatives, there are seldom such deep feelings." He Shikai added another sentence. "Okay, I'm tired too, you go down first." Gao Zhan waved his hand and turned around.The valiant heroic figure and fiery red armor seemed to appear in my mind again. It seemed that when I closed my eyes, she was beside me. When I inhaled in a trance, I could smell her breath and the sweet and elegant plum fragrance.He heard his own heartbeat resounding vividly in the silent space... The vague plum fragrance wafted along the breeze, as if even the inside of his body was filled with a sweet feeling. "Even among relatives, there are very few such deep feelings." He Shikai's words suddenly echoed in his ears, and he couldn't help feeling a trace of unprecedented anticipation... If, Chang Gong's feelings towards him - it's not just the feeling of relatives... If you can use another identity to protect her... If you can hold her tightly in your arms... If, let her always be by his side... if…… Countless if intertwined, pushed him into the abyss of hell bit by bit. In front of Zhaoyang Hall, the last season of white plums blooms with all their strength in the night. It is so terrifyingly white, and the end of the petals has a thin green like pear blossoms. When the wind blows, it seems to cover the whole day. A layer of desolate snow light, as if it was inconceivably beautiful because of the extreme pain...
After He Shikai left Zhaoyang Hall, he turned into Empress Hu's bedroom familiarly.The maids and attendants were not surprised by his arrival, presumably He-sama came to shake hands with the Pope again.Although in front of everyone, the two of them were just holding swords, but the ambiguity in it can be seen by others.But since even the emperor doesn't care, they don't need to meddle in their own business. After the monk drove into the room, he abnormally asked Empress Hu to dismiss the maid, closed the door and whispered, "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?" Empress Hu seemed to be still hesitating, "But, are you really sure?" "My lady, I have seen countless people, and I am sure that the emperor's feelings for Gao Changgong are completely beyond the feelings that should be between uncles and nephews, plus what you said before, my lady, now we can only take advantage of this. " The queen lowered her eyelids with a pale face, "Shikai, I know it too, but... just I never want to confirm it. Gao Changgong, he is the bright moon that the emperor holds in the palm of his hand. But, I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled , I can't even compare to a man..." "Your Majesty, calm down. You have to think about His Highness the Crown Prince. For the future of His Highness the Crown Prince, we will get rid of these threatening princes of the Gao family one by one." "The emperor has always been ruthless. I don't worry about other people, but Gao Changgong, he will never do anything. If possible, I think he would rather give up the throne." There was a hint of jealousy in the queen's eyes. "So I said, we can only use the emperor's feelings for Gao Changgong now, empress, think about it, if Gao Changgong becomes the emperor's exclusive thing and is imprisoned in this deep palace, can he still threaten us? ?” The queen didn't speak, her slender fingers tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, "But, is this really the only way?" "There is another way." He looked at her deeply, "Unless Gao Changgong has a grudge against the emperor, but this seems impossible. Knowing that Xiaoyu's death is related to the emperor, he still came to save the emperor without even sacrificing his life. The depth of feelings is not something ordinary people can estimate." "But the emperor also knows that each other's identities are not tolerated by the world, not to mention Chang Gong is a man, the emperor has always restrained himself, how can it be so easy..." "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about that." He showed an inscrutable smile, "The Emperor's patience is probably reaching its limit." The queen's hands trembled slightly, and desolation appeared in her eyes, "Shikai, I can only rely on you. Now, I have nothing else to ask for except for His Royal Highness the crown prince to ascend the throne smoothly." He Shikai's gaze gradually became gentle, "Mother, as long as it is what you wish, I will definitely do it for you."
Chang'an City, which is thousands of miles away, is still snowing these days. In a corner of the Chang'an Palace covered by snow, several plum blossoms have begun to wither, and the painful and twisted postures are sporadically clinging to the branches. If there is not a burst of fragrance, it is difficult to see such a weeping expression . The young emperor was staring down at a plum blossom sticking out of the window, without any expression on his face. "Your Majesty, do you plan to wait for a period of rest before launching an attack on Qi?" Aye asked cautiously. Yu Wenyong didn't seem to hear his words, but asked in a cold voice, "This time the opponent's general is the King of Lanling?" "It's this person, and I heard that in order to hide his feminine appearance, he even specially put on a hideous mask. He is invincible on the battlefield and unmatched. It is simply the reincarnation of Shura." Aye sighed. He said in a tone, "Our army's soldiers have died countlessly under his hands." "Okay," a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, "Aye, tomorrow I will discuss the attack with General Yang and the others in the court hall." "Your Majesty, are you really planning to attack Qi again? Do you want to wait until next winter?" "Next winter? Isn't that too late?" His cold eyes suddenly burst into fiery fire, and the corners of his lips curled up in a smile rose silently. "Your Majesty, are you planning to—" "Aye, this time——I want to conquer by myself." He heard the sound of a snap, and the plum blossom sticking out of the window was broken by him, and the few remaining petals were crushed into powder in his hands. "But, Your Majesty..." "Aye, you don't need to say more, you just need to do one thing for me. Before the beginning of spring, you take someone to bring Princess Ashina to Zhou Guo." "Your Majesty, are you ready to marry the princess?" Aye immediately beamed with joy. "Yes, I need this alliance to be stronger." There was no expression on the emperor's face. The snow outside the window is falling more and more finely.
