Bright Spring

King Yan and the others glanced back at Zhu Gaoxu, but said nothing, so as not to disturb Monk Yao's chanting and praying.Gao Sui took two steps back very consciously, making room for Zhu Gaoxu to stand behind the crown prince.

The curtain inside was hanging down, and the scene inside could not be seen at all, and it was unknown how sick Princess Xu was.

Monk Yao read there for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu listened carefully, but didn't understand a single word, wondering if what this guy read was Chinese.

After a few incense sticks, Yao Guangxiao stood up, turned around and saluted with one hand, and bowed to King Yan: "Amitabha!"

King Yan said: "Let's go out and talk."

Everyone understood, afraid of disturbing Concubine Xu, they all followed out of the room in silence.

Chapter 21 Lest the world be chaotic

King Yan went ahead, followed by Zhu Gaoxu, the three brothers, and Yao Guangxiao, and the group walked into a living room in the courtyard.It was dry and hot, Yao Guangxiao read for a long time in Concubine Xu's room, when someone brought tea in, so everyone drank tea and rested for a while.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that there were no outsiders, some words were brewing in his stomach for a while, and he said: "Father, I don't know if I should say a few words or not."

"Say." Zhu Di looked over, the tiger's eyes were still bright, but seemed to be full of anxiety, and there was only one word to speak, nothing superfluous.

Zhu Gaoxu owed his upper body, although he was sitting, he leaned forward towards the superior with the intention of bowing, "My son said, Beiping Commander Zhang Xin, there is a possibility of wooing, father, why don't you..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di directly interrupted him, "I have a lot of things recently, and your mother is seriously ill. You don't have to share my worries, as long as you don't add trouble to me. You all listen, Don't just find some people to talk nonsense everywhere, lest the world will not be chaotic!"

Zhu Gaoxu was about to refute, he was still very careful in doing things, if he could participate in the secret plan, he would not leak it casually... Unexpectedly, Yao Guangxiao stared at a pair of triangular eyes, and spoke first: "The king of Gaoyang County is young after all, and he doesn't know the cunning in the officialdom. The whole province is commanding envoys, so let's win him over at this time, isn't there no silver 300 taels here?"

"Okay." King Yan raised his palm, frowned, and the people around him had to shut up.Zhu Gaoxu also forcibly swallowed the words that came to his lips, and felt that his stomach swelled a lot at once.

At this moment, King Yan stood up from his chair: "Let's go."

Zhu Gaoxu thought that the elder brother and the third younger brother came early, and they probably had already seen the concubine mother, before he had time, he said: "I will go to see the concubine mother again."

So the others followed King Yan out of Princess Xu's yard, and Zhu Gaoxu returned to Princess Xu's room and went in to see her condition.

There was a pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the room, Zhu Gaoxu asked the maid next to him to open a little curtain, and saw that the princess really looked sick.Fortunately, she wasn't in a coma, but she couldn't even speak, she didn't finish a sentence for a long time, it was really serious!

"Seeing that Gao Xu... is becoming more and more sensible, mother... is at ease again..." Concubine Xu was so angry that she finally said another word.

After Zhu Gaoxu said a few words of comfort, he was about to leave, since he had nothing to do here anyway.At this moment, there were only Zhu Gaoxu and Chi Yue beside the bed, Princess Xu had no strength, and her voice was low, she said, "Chi Yue sent him off."

"En." The real Chi Yue on the side responded.

In order to hear Princess Xu's words clearly, Zhu Gaoxu and Chi Yue approached her bedside. Finally, Zhu Gaoxu had the opportunity to see Chi Yue's face nearby. Although the face was covered with a veil, he could see his forehead and eyes.

Chi Yue has a pair of almond eyes, but the corners of both eyes are slightly raised, so there is a natural charm.It's a pity that there was no emotion in her eyes, her expression was cold and slightly gloomy, as if she had encountered something bitter and bitter.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately felt that her plain attire was an illusion, if this woman hadn't been dressed in Taoist robes, she would not have the temperament of a Taoist priest at all.

When the two got out of the room, Chi Yue stood for a while, stepped aside, and gave Zhu Gaoxu a weird look.Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to go to the front.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help being a little confused by this subtle move: Could it be that this female Taoist priest has eyes behind her back, knowing that I watched her waist and butt|butt from behind last time, so she won't give me a chance this time?

Chi Yue had nothing to say along the way, and there was no sign of speaking, Zhu Gaoxu was depressed and had no interest in flirting.So it was another silent and embarrassing road.

Fortunately, we will soon reach the gate of the moon cave, and Chi Yue will only be sent there.

Zhu Gaoxu stood still, turned around, and wanted to say a nonsense like no gift.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came from outside the wall through the viewing window on the wall.

A strange voice said: "That King Gao Yang is really funny, if even he can make suggestions in front of the prince, what do we need to do?"

Then came Yao Guangxiao's earnest voice: "He is still young, who is not frivolous in his teens? This kind of kid, once he has some ideas, will inevitably be self-righteous, thinking that except for himself, everyone else is a marionette without a brain." .Don't argue with him."

The person who spoke just now laughed: "That's right! Look at his outfit today. He came to visit the sick, and he was still dressed like that in his own house. I don't know what he is doing and how many people he is going to meet! Even I also put on soap boots, and I don’t think it’s too hot. I’m dying of laughter!”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and looked at his clothes, thinking: Before I came, I didn't know that my mother and concubine were seriously ill, and I originally wanted to meet my father in the front hall of Prince Yan's mansion.

He looked sideways slightly, and saw that Chi Yue was also looking at him, and there was a smile in his eyes... It was just a mocking smile.

Zhu Gaoxu blushed, opened his mouth, and finally didn't explain anything.

The voice of the man outside got louder, and he was already approaching here, only separated by a wall.The man said: "But what King Gao Yang said, is it reasonable?"

Yao Guangxiao's voice immediately said: "He's just trying to beat his head, what does he know? Does he know how deep the water is between the imperial court and Beiping? In the current situation, if the person he said can be wooed, I will get into it." Go to the release pool of Qingshou Temple and turn into a turtle!"

The man chuckled, and said: "You don't have to get angry, let it go. It's just that King Gaoyang is ignorant, and he wants to get more and more pissed when he comes."

Zhu Gaoxu was also very angry, the more he listened, the more angry he became, and the veins on his forehead popped out.When I looked at Chi Yue next to me, I saw that she only had a cold face and no expression at all.But at this time, Zhu Gaoxu felt that there was contempt in her indifference!

At this moment, the people around Yao Guangxiao glanced into the cave, and suddenly found Zhu Gaoxu. He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Is the Prince of Gaoyang still in the mansion?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and looked at Yao Guangxiao in dismay.Zhu Gaoxu's face was red, he was angry, and stood there without saying a word.But Monk Yao was so thick-skinned that he still didn't change his face at this moment!Monk Yao calmly gave a one-handed salute as a greeting, then turned around and left.

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said: "The real Chi Yue will not send you off." He thought that Chi Yue would turn a deaf ear to what happened just now.

Unexpectedly, Chi Yue said in a rare way: "Gaoyang County King has an idea to win over someone?"

"That's all." Zhu Gaoxu looked at her slightly surprised.If Chi Yue hadn't always given him the impression of being reticent and indifferent to everything, he wouldn't feel a little weird.

Chi Yue nodded slightly, and her expression returned to indifference, "Poverty is gone."

Zhu Gaoxu came out of Prince Yan's mansion, and seeing his followers waiting outside, he called them to bring their horses over, got on the horses, kicked the horses away without saying a word, and was about to go straight home.Perhaps because the attendant saw his complexion, he was cautious and didn't dare to say a word.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu changed his clothes and ran back and forth, doing almost nothing, so he was naturally very depressed.

When he got home, he first took off the tuanlong robe, black gauze hat, and soap boots, and threw them directly into the middle of the bedroom, making a mess.Then I changed into thin clothes, put on clogs and went to the study.

The more Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, the more he felt that there was nothing wrong with him!He even found out what Wang Gui had written and reread it three times again!

He thought to himself: It's just Yao Guangxiao's words, why should I doubt myself?

In the eyes of others, he is indeed only sixteen or seventeen years old, too young and inexperienced to think things through.But he himself knows that the current Zhu Gaoxu is not thinking like a teenager at all.

"Wang Gui! Wang Gui!" Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and shouted towards the roof.

After a while, it was Aunt Wang who came, and Aunt Wang said: "Please calm down, Wang Gui is not in the back hall. This servant will call him immediately."

"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Wang Gui rushed into the study room, gasping for breath, bent over and said: "My lord, what did this servant do wrong?"

"No, I just asked you to come over." Zhu Gaoxu had recovered his composure.

"Yes, yes. What is your order?" Wang Gui said.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at him unhurriedly, and first boasted: "Your writing is very good, I should reward you. You can go to the warehouse to get the fifty coins, and write my opinion in the account. gone."

"Thank you, my lord!" Wang Gui knelt down on the ground, "The money bag that my lord gave to my slaves on the road last time, the unspent money has already been put into the treasury."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You are indeed loyal. Take the money as well."
