Lanling covered the moon

In Yecheng, spring begins, catkins are flying.The new emperor ascends the throne, implements new policies, reduces harsh taxes, and the scene of foreign things recovering is full of vitality.

Gao Yin has a generous personality, promotes benevolent government, and amnesties the world.In the first year of the Qianming Dynasty, it seemed that Xiao Zimo was the only one who had a lot of worries. It was as if she was contributing to the change of dynasty.

The atmosphere in the Gao Mansion is also turbulent. The aunt must have a guilty conscience, and she goes deep in the Buddhist hall and does not leave. After the death of Emperor Wenxuan, she and Xiao Zimo have not met a few times.

In fact, Zimo didn't hold her grudges in his heart. The second uncle threatened the aunt with Xiaowan, but she had no choice but to think about it.

The surface of the lake is sparkling, and the spring breeze is blowing.But Xiao Zimo was full of gloom with his cheeks resting on his hands.

"I killed the person, what are you doing with your appearance like this?" Uncle Jiu parked the boat in the middle of the lake and looked at her.Uncle Nine assists the new emperor to take care of everything, and it has been more than a month since we left the Hall of Supreme Harmony. This is the first time that Zimo has met in private.

Above the court, His Royal Highness Changguang Wang ranks first among the ministers, holding important power with Changshan Wang Gaoyan, personnel from the three departments and six provinces are frequently transferred, and most of the high-ranking officials are cronies of the two regent princes.

Xiao Zimo knew that Gao Zhan would definitely ascend to the Ninth Five-Year position in the future, and conspired to fight for imperial power. She wanted to stay out of it so much, but she never thought about it, but Gao Zhan did it to save her Only then did Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang be killed.

"I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me, what's the difference between you killing him and me?... Forget it, Uncle Jiu risked his life to rescue me, and I still say such things, I don't know what to do. Fortunately, Uncle Jiu, you are fine..." Xiao Zimo sighed, first she was worried that Uncle Jiu would be implicated by her because of this matter, but then she thought about it when the situation was stable. Jun, and you can also unite with King Changshan to cover up the matter seamlessly, support Gao Yin to the throne, and monopolize the power of the previous dynasty without spending a single soldier. Even Yang Min was kept in the dark and did not dare to act rashly. Gao Zhan is Gao Zhan. Zhan, with this impeccable layout, Zimo looked at him at the moment but couldn't ask anything he wanted to ask.

"What's the matter? Chang Gong looks like he's looking at a stranger. Do you want to ask me anything?" Gao Zhan let the boat float along the lake. He was very happy in his heart. He knew Chang Gong. He is extremely affectionate, and saving him this time will definitely make him remember the kindness of his life, and because of this common secret, Chang Gong and him seem to have an extra layer of inextricably linked, even if he wants to break it, he will break it. no more.

"Uncle Jiu..." Xiao Zimo hesitated to speak.

"Chang Gong wants to know how I escaped, and even secretly recruited the sixth brother to help the crown prince ascend the throne?"

"No, I don't want to know at all." Xiao Zimo shook his head resolutely. The struggle for imperial power is intricate. The ninth uncle, Gao Zhan, must not have been on a whim, nor did he become in line with the sixth uncle Gaoyan overnight. She, Xiao Zimo, didn't want to know about it at all. The deeper you get involved in the inside story, the deeper you will be trapped in this whirlpool-like struggle. Although this matter started because of her, it will definitely not end because of her.

"Really? Chang Gong's answer is really beyond my expectation." Uncle Jiu raised his hand and brushed a strand of hair that was hanging down his face behind his ears. He smiled and said, "Isn't Chang Gong not interested in the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Lord?"

"No!" Xiao Zimo shook his head firmly again.

"Hahahaha..." Gao Zhan seemed to have heard a big joke, and kept laughing while clutching his stomach. The boat was tilted slightly by him, as if he was about to be overturned by the laughter.

"Uncle Jiu, what's so funny about this? I think it's important to live happily and comfortably, but not everyone wants to be an emperor!" Zimo said.

Gao Zhan nodded, he also wanted to live a happy life, but without the person in front of him, he couldn't be happy. Therefore, although it took a lot of energy to give power to the world, there was another benefit, that is, he could get You don't need to worry about what you want, and you are no longer bound by the world.

"Chang Gong probably doesn't know the benefits of being the lord of the world, do you want to taste it?" Gao Zhan supported the side of the boat, and slowly approached Zi Mo, the water was shimmering and colorful.

Xiao Zimo frowned: "Uncle Nine, don't talk nonsense, in my next life, in my next life, I won't have any idea of ​​being an emperor. I only know how to wield knives and guns. Where did I get such thoughts?" .”

"Well... You, Gao Changgong, are so indifferent that it's hard to deal with it. You said, it would be great if you could exchange the world for your infatuation with me. I will definitely give everything I have, just to win the world for you Sending you to that high throne, and then looking up at how my beloved Chang Gong overlooks all beings, this is a wonderful thing."

Zimo stared at Gao Zhan's eyes that were getting closer and closer, turned his head and staggered the faces that were almost close together: "Uncle Jiu, you rescued me in such a dangerous way about the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Chang Gong has nothing in return, but you have no intention ..."

"I know, I didn't expect you to agree with me." Gao Zhan easily said the four words that made Xiao Zimo speechless.

"Uncle Jiu, you risked your life to save me. I will never forget it in my life. From now on, I, Gao Changgong, will go through fire and water for Uncle Jiu. I will never say anything. My life belongs to Uncle Jiu. You can take it anytime you want!"

Gao Zhan covered Zimo's mouth with his hand: "What do I want your life for? You know best what I want, but if you don't give it, then don't swear with your life indiscriminately, God listen!"

Gao Zhan pointed to the cloudless sky and said with a smile.

. . . .

Xiao Zimo looked down at the lake in embarrassment, the reflection in the water was like her heart dizzy.

"Uncle Nine..."

"Okay, I know what you're going to say, I'm willing to get it, you'll still be your carefree Gao Changgong, and I'll still be my scheming King Changguang, as long as you understand my heart and don't reject me anymore Thousands of miles away, I will take care of everything." Gao Zhan slowly embraced her from behind, and leaned his head on Zimo's shoulder lightly, without any force, but it made Zimo feel more difficult than ever. Breaking free, tenderly makes people feel distressed.

"Uncle Jiu, I don't need the world, and I don't want Uncle Jiu to bear anything for me. As long as Uncle Jiu is well, I can feel at ease." Zi Mo whispered in Gao Zhan's ear.

Gao Zhan intensified his strength, lingering to put his cheek against Zimo's face. This was the first time Chang Gong didn't push himself away. Gao Zhan knew that everything he did was useful.It would be great if he could be satisfied in this way, let this love linger in the ambiguous situation that is considered beautiful and ambiguous at this moment.It's a pity that Chang Gong, who is indifferent and ascetic, doesn't understand him, and his obsession without understanding him has already left him no way out.He couldn't stop, and he didn't want to.The time to completely let Chang Gong belong to him is not yet ripe, so. . . . . .He leaned over Zimo's neck lingeringly, causing Xiao Zimo to stiffen for a while, and then restrained himself from other movements.What Gao Zhan was waiting for was an opportunity that Chang Gong could not resist, nor could he resist.

"Fourth brother, you are back." Xiao Wan seemed to be waiting for Zi Mo intentionally.

"Yes, third brother hasn't eaten yet?" Xiao Zimo asked as he looked at the dishes on the table and the neatly arranged bowls and chopsticks.

"Well, we two brothers haven't eaten together for a long time." The third brother brought Zimo's favorite dish to her.

"Have you gone to see Uncle Jiu?" Xiao Wan asked.

Xiao Zimo was startled, and nodded slightly.

"Chang Gong, Ninth Uncle...has ulterior motives, he is different from you and me, you can't trust him completely." Third Brother said.

Zi Mo looked up at the third brother in surprise, Xiao Wan is kind and humble, and rarely criticizes others behind his back.

"Third Brother, I'm going to see Uncle Jiu. It's not what you think. Like other people said, what about clinging to the powerful and soaring into the sky, you must never..."

"No, how can I listen to others who slander you. It's just..."

"Just what?" Zi Mo asked.

Xiao Wan lowered her head to hide the embarrassment in her eyes, it's not like Gao Zhan couldn't see his disrespect towards Chang Gong, but how should he tell his fourth brother this?Xiao Wan thinks of Gao Zhan's thoughts, and then thinks of herself. Gao Zhan is an uncle, but he is Chang Gong's third elder brother. He can't explain Jiu Shu's abnormal love this time, and he can't admit the absurdity in his heart.

Could he say that he didn't want fourth brother to see Uncle Jiu because his heart would be overwhelmed by jealousy? !

"You just have to be careful. Now that the second uncle is dead, the new emperor is young, and the power in the court is controlled by the sixth and ninth uncles, Ying Mingzhe should protect himself.

"Yes, third brother is right." Zimo also knew that he shouldn't get too involved in this imperial power struggle, but if third brother knew that ninth uncle killed second uncle because of her, and she would kill second uncle because of third brother Just broke into the palace, how should this muddled account be calculated?

"By the way, I'm getting married." Xiao Wan suddenly said in a muffled voice.

The chopsticks in Zi Mo's hand suddenly fell to the ground and slipped from her fingers.

"So... quickly? Congratulations... Congratulations to the third brother." Zi Mo muttered, this is not the first time she has heard the news of the marriage, but this time when it really came to the truth, it made her heart feel firm It really hurts a bit.

"Well, I surrender. I can't hold back my mother. Even my grandmother, Empress Dowager Lou, ordered me to get married today."

The third brother's voice was barely audible.

"...I don't know, I don't know which family's daughter is so lucky to be able to marry the third brother?" Zimo's voice trembled, and he forced himself to be happy.

Xiao Wan put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and looked out the window: "It's my mother's niece, my cousin, Yuan Zi'er."

"Yes... Cousin Zi'er. It's serious... You really are a match, a perfect match, congratulations... Third brother..." Zi Mo didn't know how his voice that was gradually choking was answered. matter.His eyes were red, and he resisted to take them back, but his nose was a little sour.

"Chang Gong...Chang Gong and elder brother are the best at playing tricks, even if they don't know which girl they are with, they don't bring them home, so I am accused by the elders every day, saying that our eldest family has come so far At this age, no one has married a wife and had children, so I became the first of these brothers to suffer this knife! Really... really cunning!"

"Third brother, you can just say big brother, why bother talking about me. If the big brother says he wants to marry, which girl in Yecheng is not willing to marry! I... I don't like other young ladies, who will marry me?" ..." I don't know what to say in the nonsense, Xiao Zimo has no clue at all.The food in the bowl couldn't be eaten, as if the love between the close relatives who had been bound for so many years was broken.

Just marrying a wife is nothing but normal, why does she seem to want to separate from Xiao Wan?

"Third Brother, I, I'm full, I'm going back to the house first, Zheng Er, Zheng Er, wait for me to teach her homework." Xiao Zimo didn't know when he left the room, and walked straight forward without looking back.

Xiao Wan stared blankly at the bluegrass placed on the window sill, seemingly unaware that Zi Mo had left.

The eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tears dripped on the grass leaves like morning dew, slid to the stems, melted into the pot mud, and disappeared without a trace. . . . . .
