Chapter 31 Chapter 31: The Female Corpse at the Bottom of the Well
She stretched out her hand slowly, and when she touched the phalanx, there was a clicking sound, the bone suddenly broke, and the ring rolled down in front of her.She trembled and stared at the ring, only knowing that she was completely unable to think.
"Young Master Gao, Young Master Gao..." Suddenly, the anxious voice of the little maid came from above.At this time, even she couldn't believe that she could still remain so calm, she just reached out and picked up the ring and put it in her arms, then picked up the ball, and climbed up along the rope.
The little maid received the ball with a grateful face, and when she raised her head again, she found that the boy had disappeared in front of her.
The snow is getting bigger and bigger, as soft as pure wings, circling and circling all over the sky.Chang Gong walked out of the courtyard expressionlessly, but suddenly staggered and fell on the snow.She simply didn't get up anymore, buried her face in the cold snow, and didn't think about anything.
After an unknown amount of time, her whole body was suddenly lifted up, and what caught her eyes were those brown eyes with anxiety.
"Chang Gong, what's wrong with you?" Gao Zhan patted the snowflakes on her body, not hiding his worry and surprise.
Chang Gong lowered her head, her long disheveled hair covered all her expressions.She felt as if she was laughing, and it was so loud, something should have spilled out of her eyes, but she couldn't cry, a cool swishing liquid flowed into her heart, and then flowed all over her body, all the blood vessels They all contracted because of the sudden flow of pain.
"Chang Gong, what's the matter with you? What happened?" Gao Zhan reached out and raised her face, with a trace of bewilderment and rare panic in his half-bright eyes.
"Uncle Nine, I feel so sad, but I can't cry..." She looked at him with despair, which made his heart throb. Uncontrollably, he stretched out his hand to wrap her around her, feeling her His hands and feet were as cold as the coldest snow in the glacier, as if all his blood had been squeezed and frozen into solid ice.
"Cry, so that no one will see." He pressed her head into his arms. Although he didn't know what happened to her, all he knew now was that she needed to vent the pain in her heart .
"Uncle Jiu..." In the arms of this person who made her feel at ease, she began to sob softly... The hope that she always thought that her mother was still alive completely collapsed at this moment.The indescribable pain, the darkness spreading from the depths of her soul, seemed to be eroding her body with deadly poison.From the tips of her hair to her fingertips, every tiny nerve was trembling and screaming, and the blood was rushing and surging in her body, looking for all the exits, and finally spurting out from her eye sockets...
Tears fell slowly and uncontrollably.
Gao Zhan only felt that the hot liquid dripped onto his chest, almost causing scars, but his heart was colder than ever before.
When she finally couldn't hold back crying, Gao Zhan picked her up and walked straight to the palace gate, ignoring everyone's eyes, but ordered his attendants, "Notify the emperor later, and say that Lanling King Feeling unwell, this king will take him to Changguang Palace first."
In the side room of Changguang Prince's Mansion, the fire was burning brightly, and there was a faint fragrance of white plums in the air. Chang Gong felt his body warm up, as if surrounded by fire, with lingering tenderness, half Opening his eyes, he saw Gao Zhan's elegant jaw that was decorated by candlelight like jade. Only then did she realize that she was in Uncle Jiu's residence, and at this moment, Uncle Jiu was sitting beside her, watching her with strange eyes. "Is it better?" Gao Zhan handed over a cup of hot tea, "Drink the tea first, and then tell me what happened." Chang Gong took a sip of tea, then slowly calmed down, and simply told Gao Zhan everything.Gao Zhan listened to her narration with a calm face, until she said that the mother's bones were found in the well just now, the corners of his brows twitched slightly, and he spoke. "How did you decide that it was your mother?" Chang Gong took out the ring from his bosom, "This is the ring my father gave to my mother. My mother has always regarded it as a treasure and will never leave her. That's why I doubted my ring when the fire broke out. Mother was not burned to death." She paused, "But why is my mother's bones in the palace? Could it be..." "If that's really your mother's body, then the person who brought her into the palace can only be the current emperor." Gao Zhan said. The ring in Chang Gong's hand tumbled down onto the bed. She hadn't thought about this possibility just now, but she didn't dare to think about it... "Why did the emperor do this?" Gao Zhan seemed to sigh, "The emperor has always liked your mother, and it is not impossible to use some means to bring your mother into the palace. However, even I have not noticed that the emperor has always taken your mother Hide in the palace." She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, feeling that she was about to be unable to breathe. If her mother had fallen into the hands of the emperor, then... "Did the emperor kill my mother?" She raised her eyes and stared straight at him. He was silent for a moment, "Maybe, maybe not, but what I'm sure of is that if the emperor has resentment towards her, you probably won't be able to live now." "If the emperor kills her, I, I..." Chang Gong's voice trembled slightly, and the knuckles of his hands that were unconsciously clenched into fists turned white due to excessive force. "If the emperor kills her, what do you want to do? Go kill the emperor?" Gao Zhan looked at her coldly, "Chang Gong, I understand how you feel, but the only thing you can do now is to pretend that you don't know thing." "Uncle Jiu... You also know the emperor's personality... When I think of how much torture my mother will suffer if it really falls into his hands, I, I..." Chang Gong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't know what to do. Can't go on. "That's not necessarily the case." Gao Zhan's voice softened a bit, "From your description, the corpse has been there for some time. Do you still remember that the emperor's character was not like this before. Internally, he asked for everything Simple and quiet, know how to use people well, have an open mind, control subordinates, and enforce the law strictly. If someone violates the law, even if he is a relative of the emperor, he will be punished. Established military exploits, he can be called a generation of heroes, but two years after you returned to Yecheng, his personality changed drastically. If I boldly speculate, it may be because your mother passed away at that time...so after such a blow Excuse me, His Majesty, he..." "But why is my mother's bones in such a place?" She bit her lips, "If it wasn't because I accidentally discovered it today, she would have been staying there all alone..." Thinking of the inexplicable cause of my mother's death, even after her death, There is no place to put the bones, her heart trembled violently again. "Everything is our guess. None of us know what happened." Gao Zhan said in a low voice. Chang Gong seemed to remember something again, and hurriedly told him about meeting Zheng Yuan in Chang'an. "Ms. Gao... this matter may not be as simple as we imagined." Gao Zhan frowned slightly, "I will send someone to investigate. But even I don't know about this matter, so it can be seen that the emperor is extremely secretive. The insiders at that time are probably no longer alive. Chang Gong, you must hold your breath, and you must not show any flaws, and don't tell anyone about this. Also, your mother's bones cannot be moved for the time being. Understand? ?” Chang Gong's expression changed slightly, but he still nodded, "I see, Uncle Jiu." Gao Zhan seemed to be slightly relieved, with a soft light in his eyes, "Chang Gong, I won't let anyone bully you." "What if the emperor wants to kill me?" She blurted out. Gao Zhan was slightly startled, stared into her eyes, and said word by word, "I said, anyone." Chang Gong's eyes were gradually covered with a thin layer of mist, which was a little unreal. She was stunned, and she forgot her words in a daze. Looking at each other silently, she suddenly had the illusion of sinking into the darkness. Suddenly the maid's voice came from outside the door, "My lord, the King of Henan and the King of Hejian have come to take King Lanling back to his mansion. They are waiting in the hall." "This king will send people there." Gao Zhan once again conveyed the meaning of not telling others with his eyes. After seeing Chang Gong nodded, he was relieved. Maybe it was because of the cold and the hard blow. After Chang Gong returned home, she fell ill. Although it was just a common cold, she simply took advantage of this excuse to take leave for a while and did not go to the hospital. In order not to see the emperor, she was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions. A few days later, the descendants of the Yuan family, including women and children, were all executed. The bodies of more than 700 people were thrown into the Zhangshui River, and the river was completely red. Some human fingernails or something were found in the belly of the fish.
After the new year, another incident happened in the palace.The emperor gave a court lady to his sixth younger brother Gao Yan as a reward, but after waking up, he forgot about it, saying that Gao Yan took it without authorization, and ordered the guards to slam him with the handle of a knife and beat him severely.Angrily, Gao Yan shut up and went on a hunger strike.The mother of the two, Empress Dowager Lou Zhaojun, cried day and night.Seeing his old lady's reluctance, Gao Yang felt a little anxious, so he kept going to Gao Yan's house, inquiring about his condition, and coaxed his brother to eat again after he said all kinds of good things. It's strange to say that the emperor doesn't like this younger brother very much, but this younger brother is the only one who dares to contradict and persuade him because of his mother's support.Although he couldn't lose his life, he would inevitably be beaten every time he tried to persuade him.However, because of this, many ministers in the court had a good impression of him. "I think if it was someone else, it might be how he died," Xiao Wan said while adding charcoal to the stove. Chang Gong forced a smile, "That's why only the sixth uncle dares to persuade the emperor." "That's right, you see that Uncle Jiu is so favored, and he never says a word, and always looks like he has nothing to do with him." Xiao Wan paused, "Just a little bit special to you, " Just as Chang Gong was about to say something, he suddenly felt a tickle in his throat and coughed several times. "Chang Gong, are you okay?" Xiao Wan immediately jumped up, patted her on the back, and glanced at Xiao Tie next to her, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you pour a cup of tea!" Xiao Tie snorted softly, poured a cup of tea reluctantly, and muttered, "Anyway, he won't die, so what are you shouting for?" Xiao Wan stared, "Say what!" "Third brother, she only has one child. Don't argue with her." Chang Gong smiled. "Chang Gong, I said that you are a bit of a little girl, why do you seem to be wrong with you?" Xiao Wan's lips curled up into a narrow smile. Xiao Tie also glared at him, "Who is his little wife?" "Okay, okay, both of you go out first, let me rest for a while, okay?" Chang Gong rubbed the corners of his eyes helplessly. Xiao Wan gave Xiao Tie a hard look, showing a look of blaming you all, stretched out his right hand, picked up Xiao Tie, walked out together, and said dejectedly outside the door, "Chang Gong, rest first. , third brother will come to see you later." Chang Gong responded, and the smile on his lips had long since disappeared.She stared at the ceiling expressionlessly, but her mind was clear.Now her mood has calmed down a lot, so she can calm down and analyze this matter carefully.If the emperor kidnapped his mother, why would there be a Mrs. Gao again?And it's fine to take people away, why set fire to wipe out the traces, isn't it a bit redundant? Also, how did the mother die?If it's really the emperor... Chang Gong bit his lower lip tightly, a trace of inexplicable fear... and hatred welled up in his heart. "Chang Gong, why do you look like you want to kill someone?" Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly came from her side, which startled her, and when she looked up, it was Hu Lu who was standing in front of her. Hanga. "Hey, why don't you get notified when you come in..." Chang Gong glared at him. "I have notified you several times, but you don't know what to think about." Heng Jia's lips curled up in a perfect arc, "Why, you are so sick that you are so confused?" The corner of Chang Gong's mouth trembled slightly, "Dead fox, are you here to visit the sick or to anger me." There was a happy smile in Heng Jia's eyes, "I can't tell if it's serious or not, but I'm very angry." He seemed to have remembered something, and smiled again, "By the way, I should call you prince That's right." Chang Gong retorted casually, "Aren't you also named the Central Guard Army, and my prince is just a false name." Heng Jia sat down on his own, and poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "I haven't come to court for so many days, this disease seems really serious." Chang Gong lowered his eyelids and smiled lightly, "Maybe he caught a cold." There was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the room, and under the afterglow of the setting sun leaking in from the window, the smiling young man had a heroic spirit not inferior to that of a man, and also a more delicate temperament than a woman, just like the man in winter Quietly blooming white plums. However, there seemed to be endless confusion and sadness hidden under that smile. Heng Jia withdrew his gaze, stood up and said, "Okay, I also know that you don't like me, so I'd better disappear quickly." He turned and walked out the door, and when he reached the door, he stopped again. After coming down, he said again casually, "Chang Gong, don't continue to get sick." Looking at his back, Chang Gong's eyes became darker, Heng Jia, is this reminding her?
Early the next morning, Chang Gong changed into his official uniform and entered the palace with his two elder brothers. Since it has entered midwinter and there is no war in the neighboring countries, the emperor just discussed some irrelevant state affairs with them. Chang Gong kept his head down and tried his best to maintain the calmness he should have. Finally, the discussion was over. She Just about to leave with her brothers, she suddenly heard the emperor say something behind her, "Chang Gong, you stay first." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu and Xiao Wan glanced at each other, then at Chang Gong, and then retreated with complicated expressions.Heng Jia just smiled and left here with everyone. "Chang Gong, come here." The emperor reclined on the soft couch and beckoned her to sit beside him. Chang Gong hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to walk over.As soon as she sat down, the emperor suddenly reached out and touched her forehead, "Is your illness better?" She avoided his hand unnaturally, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Your illness is already cured." The emperor smiled, "That's good. Yesterday I told Heng Jia that I wanted to visit you in person. Now that you've recovered, it would be great." Recalling Heng Jia's words, Chang Gong immediately understood, and couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude in his heart. If the emperor came to Gaofu in person, there might be something wrong. "I don't dare to be a minister, I don't dare to be a minister." She quickly put on a flattered look. "Chang Gong, this time flies so fast. If the queen hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed that you are already fifteen." The emperor looked at her with a somewhat unfathomable look in his eyes, and sighed like a sigh One sentence, "You really look more and more like your mother." Chang Gong thought about it, and suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity to test, so he took it up, "It's a pity that my mother died too early, otherwise, if she knew that Chang Gong was named the king of the county by the emperor, she must be very pleased, thank you Your Majesty's kindness." The emperor's face seemed to change slightly, but he didn't speak. Chang Gong broke his heart and continued, "My poor mother doesn't even have a tombstone. I want to tell my mother about this happy event, but there is no place..." The emperor's pupils shrank, a thin blood color suddenly filled his eyes, his thin chin was raised slightly like a blade, a strange and gloomy expression appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said slowly, "I must I will take good care of you, so that your mother can feel at ease even under the Nine Springs." His voice was so cold that it made people panic, Chang Gong was startled, only felt a gnawing chill gradually spread from the soles of his feet to the whole body...
In the side room of Changguang Prince's Mansion, the fire was burning brightly, and there was a faint fragrance of white plums in the air. Chang Gong felt his body warm up, as if surrounded by fire, with lingering tenderness, half Opening his eyes, he saw Gao Zhan's elegant jaw that was decorated by candlelight like jade.
