Huaigui

Five days later, on a good day, the mansion in the east of Luoyang welcomed countless guests.

There were lanterns and festoons outside the Palace of Prince Yu, and besides the invited guests, many people watched the ceremony from a distance, stretching their necks, wanting to have a glimpse of it.The concubine was born as a female guard battalion chief. She served the queen when she was on errand.

On the white horse in the front, Xu Xin is wearing a red wedding dress, with starry eyes.Wearing this color on her body is not as delicate and charming as an ordinary woman, showing a bit of a distinctive heroic spirit.

The white horse stopped in front of Prince Yu's Mansion, and Gao Hong, who was dressed in a wedding dress, walked out from behind the magnificently decorated gate.With a frank expression, he lightly lifted the hem of his robe and stepped over the dismounting stone.

Gao Hong stretched out his hand to Xu Xin, she squinted, with a bright smile, and put her hand in Gao Hong's palm.

Accompanied hand in hand, a couple of newlyweds walked into the palace side by side in the loud voice of "the auspicious time has come" from the bride.

The female general bid farewell to the stable palace and went to the battlefield to fight. The tribes in Dongrouran shuddered when they heard "Bingzhou Xu Xin".Now that she has disarmed and returned to the imperial court, she is married with great vigor.

The first emperor left early, King Yu's mother, Concubine De, had been a nun for decades, the ancient Qingdeng Buddha had lost her relationship with the world, and Xu Xin Gaotang died young.This time the officiant became the emperor to show Yu Wang's favor.

The four guests are all relatives of the emperor, and the lowest are Xu Xin's colleagues.The generals and advisors who had made military exploits gathered around a table, and those who were used to the iron cavalry outside the Great Wall actually seemed a little embarrassed at this moment.From time to time, generals who took off their battle robes quietly looked around, wandering their eyes, occasionally stopping for a moment on a distinguished guest.

"Have you seen that, the attendant next to that lord..."

"It's the boy in black. I looked at it. Why does it look familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

"You can only be in your early twenties at the most. You have been in the northwest area for the past ten years. I'm afraid you saw it in a dream!"

"Really, I think his eyebrows and eyes look like—"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Whispers were drowned out in the crowd.

He Lan Mingyue took the tea brought by the maid of Prince Yu's Mansion, tested it with the silver needle in her hand, and passed it to Gao Jing after confirming that it was non-toxic.He was cautious, and even more vigilant after the drunkenness that day.

In the past few days, he has investigated privately, but there is no conclusive evidence, but he has heard a lot of gossip.

In the early years, Concubine Ling was still in her boudoir, and her father became an official in middle age, not a powerful official family.After the Ling family moved to Luoyang with their parents, many famous people in the capital were impressed by their beauty, and Xi Niang, who said she was married, almost broke the threshold of the Ling family.But Ling's heart is high and arrogant, and she only wants to marry into the royal family.

As one wishes, Ling really waited for an opportunity in the near future.When the emperor was hunting in autumn, Ling's father was allowed to bring his daughter who had not left the court with him when he was accompanying him.When the Ling family gave birth to Gao Yu for the emperor, her favor increased until she became a noble concubine.

If it is said that the Ling family and Yu Wang have personal interests, it should be considered that they met during the autumn hunting.The person whom the emperor likes, does King Yu just give in?If there is really nothing to worry about, why do you keep entering the palace to have private meetings with Ling's family?

What's more, King Yu hasn't married for many years...

The rumors may not be groundless.

He Lan Mingyue thought so, and looked towards the center of the banquet hall, King Yu was surrounded by several princes who came here to congratulate him.

Today, he departed from the palace and arrived at Prince Yu's mansion. Ever since he followed Gao Jing, he never came back to this mansion.The marriage ceremony was grand, and the guards had to follow their master closely. He Lan Mingyue deliberately ignored the familiarity with Prince Yu's Mansion, and only regarded it as her first visit.Even so, he was stopped by Lu Yi within a few steps.

Gao Jing was brought together by the sons of Empress Dugu's natal family to reminisce about the old days, He Lan Mingyue stood a little further away, and after a while, there was suddenly a silent person beside her.

Those few people chatted happily, and it was inconvenient for the attendants who followed them to come forward.He tilted his head slightly, Lu Yi didn't shy away from Gao Jing not far away, just stood behind him, lowered his eyes and put something into He Lan Mingyue's hands.After receiving his suspicious gaze, Lu Yi said softly, "Try to subdue Gao Yu."

Helan Mingyue closed her pupils slightly, and frowned: "What is it?"

Lu Yi said: "Your lord's order, you just do it—be more concealed."

After finishing speaking, Gao Jingfu turned his head and saw He Lan standing there alone.He met Gao Jing's questioning gaze, put the thing back on his waist awkwardly, and walked over quickly: "Your Highness."

Gao Jing laughed, no one dared to talk nonsense, so he said affectionately: "With a few words, can you still be in a daze?"

"Your Highness, forgive me, I slept late last night." He Lan Mingyue said solemnly.

He knows how to deal with Gao Jing, the normally upright prince is bold and unrestrained in his arms, he immediately forbids Helan Mingyue to make such jokes when he leaves the big bed, but obviously he doesn't hate it either, he smiles deeper, with stains on the tips of his ears With a touch of red, he patted him lightly, and whispered: "Not serious."

So Helan Mingyue knew that this test had passed.

The wedding banquet was grand, and not long after, King Yu, dressed in wedding attire, came out from the inner hall. The familiar royal relatives went up to greet him, surrounded him, and walked all the way to the emperor like stars.

The emperor was satisfied that the elder brother finally got married, and asked himself to give an explanation to the late emperor, the deeper the smile.

They have their own circle, and others will not provoke them.Not long after, the emperor got up and drove back to the palace on the grounds that there were still state affairs to deal with.Once the emperor is gone, the rest of the people are more at ease.

Gao Jing sat at a table drinking tea and chatting with the young masters of Dugu's family, temporarily ignoring his intentions.He Lan Mingyue took out what Lu Yi gave him just now, wrapped it in paper, it turned into white fine powder, tasteless.Just as he was about to taste it, he suddenly remembered something and stopped his movements.

One of the dark guards was good at poison. Before the Lantern Festival gathering, he got drunk and bragged to them drunkenly that the prince ordered him to make a special tasteless poison. After half a day, the effect of the medicine took effect, and the poisoned person became weak physically, just like ordinary fatigue.But once you fall asleep, you can't get up again.Although the poison is domineering, it does not cause pain, the prince is very satisfied.

What King Yu was tossing about in the mansion all day long, He Lan Mingyue could only get a glimpse of it from their words.He was originally on the same boat, and the other brothers didn't shy away from it, so he was refreshed at the moment.

Could it be that the thing in his hand is an invisible poison that kills people in his sleep?

It happened to be almost dusk now, half a day later it was late at night, and it was time for bedtime.If he gave the things to Gao Yu as he said, Gao Yu would die tonight, and even if he was discovered, it would be tomorrow morning.

Why did King Yu get rid of Gao Yu?

What Concubine Ling said that day seemed to be inextricably linked with Gao Yu. He Lan Mingyue thought a little more presumptuously, and even had the illusion that King Yu was Gao Yu's biological father... His name was the same as his title, would it be coincide?

If Gao Yu dies, the emperor will definitely investigate.Combined with the fact that one of the emperor's eldest sons had drowned for no reason before, this time he would never let it go.If he does it, he will naturally have a way to do it cleanly.

However, at the moment there is rumor of Li Chu, and the dispute between Shu Yutang and the Second Palace is imminent. If Gao Yu dies suddenly at this moment, the one who bears the brunt... must be Gao Jing.

If the emperor believed in Gao Jing, there would be no guarantee that there would be no rift between father and son in the future; if he did not believe in him, he would definitely seek justice for Gao Yu, then Gao Jing's death penalty could be avoided...

If Helan Mingyue really did this, he would have become an outcast of Prince Yu's Mansion by then, and Li Gong would not be able to return to the Palace.If he continued to follow Gao Jing, he might be pushed out to take the blame. Even if he survived by luck, his backer would have collapsed.

Besides, Gao Yu is the bargaining chip of the Ling family, and it is also the reason why her Ling family has been promoted steadily over the years.With Gao Yu's death, there is no hope for his relatives to take power, and they are bound to fall under the command of the other side.Gao Jing loses power, and the Dugu family can't rely on the foolish boy Gao Sheng, and they will surely fall with it.The rest of the princes are too young to take on important responsibilities.If the emperor had an unexpected accident, only two princes of the right age would be worthy of the great appointment.Gao Potential is sick and weak, so there is only one choice left...

King Yu's move is more than killing two birds with one stone!

After much deliberation, Helan Mingyue finally put away the bag of white fine powder and decided not to move for the time being.

He was hiding something, thinking about King Yu didn't tell him when to do it, why don't he look at the emperor's intention of opposing the prince.But Helan Mingyue couldn't get in touch with the former dynasty, so she first met an unexpected old friend in the palace.

Not long after King Yu got married, Gao Yu happily found Gao Jing in Shuyuzhai.He was smart since he was a child, but he didn't shy away from this juncture. He called eldest brother affectionately, and dragged another person: "Brother, look, a few days ago, a guard in the Chaofeng Hall ran into my mother and concubine, and the emperor also changed me." Guard-"

Helan Mingyue kept her head down and said nothing, but when she heard the words, she suddenly raised her head and met Murong Yun's eyes.

When Shu Yuzhai's book was loud, He Lan stood outside, with Murong Yun beside him.He clenched his fist, but finally couldn't hold back: "Why did big brother come here suddenly?"

"Mr. Chunru said His Royal Highness Yu lacked a guard and playmate, so I volunteered." Murong Yun smiled politely, a little more alienated for no reason, "Mingyue is surprised to see me here?"

He Lan Mingyue nodded, and said again: "Brother, do you mind if I ask you something?"

They deserved to have been together for many years. As soon as this remark came out, Murong Yun said: "Yes, there is the prince's arrangement, and there is also the Murong family's consideration. Mr. Chunru has no children, and none of the young masters in my family have achieved success. It is my sword that took the wrong edge back then. , now it is of some use. The Murong family and Prince Yu's mansion have supported me for so many years, it's time to repay me."

He Lan Mingyue ignored the witty words, he had some bad thoughts in his mind, he frowned and turned his head away.

Is this the "other arrangement" that King Yu said earlier?

"By the way, did you go to find Mr. Chunru for the matter mentioned earlier?" Seeing him shaking his head, Murong Yun continued, "His Royal Highness Yu likes that elder brother very much, but Mr. Chunru doesn't like him."

"Mingyue dare not speculate on the matter of the previous dynasty."

"There is always a dispute between the Chaofeng Pavilion and the North Hall, and the rain is coming, you have to remember your position." After Murong Yun finished speaking, just as the sound of reading fell, he fell silent immediately.

He Lan Mingyue remained calm, but her heart twitched fiercely——Murong Yun Sulai is not someone who gets involved in these matters, he is cheerful but wants to live a stable life, why did his words become so meaningful in this meeting?

He sincerely regarded the other party as his eldest brother, but he didn't want to be stabbed with a knife.

"Your position will always be in Prince Yu's Mansion."

After the lecture that day, Gao Jing talked with Murong Chunru for half an hour. When he came out, Gao Yu led Murong Yun and left early.He saw that the behavior of Chaofeng Pavilion was more and more like himself, even though he was unhappy, he couldn't vent it, with a gloomy face, and it was uncomfortable to go back to Yaoguang Pavilion, and it would be considered as a blow to catch a maid who did something wrong over.

"Your Highness, why should you vent your anger on others?" He Lan Mingyue smiled and brought him tea.

Gao Jing took a sip, his eyebrows slanted, and he said angrily: "You are generous. The elder brother who followed Gao Yu today is the elder brother you go to see every month? Look at that flying and domineering look, almost riding on top of us."

He Lan said: "Elder Brother didn't treat me that way."

Gao Jing sneered: "Since the emperor's uncle got married, the Chaofeng Pavilion has become more and more lively. Just now, I heard from Aman that the Ling family doesn't go to the Buddha Pagoda to pray for blessings recently, and is bored in the palace every day and throws things. Who is he mad at?"

Just now I was bored in the palace and threw things, but now I have nothing to do with myself and blamed others.He Lan Mingyue held back her laughter, and answered yes in a low voice.

"Don't keep 'yes' and 'yes', are you sure about what you've been asked to investigate?"

"It's impossible to recognize relatives by blood." He Lan said cryptically, but the meaning was obvious.

Gao Jing snorted again: "Lord Ling was promoted to an official a few years ago, and he has gotten very close to the Murong Mansion recently. Mr. Chunru would rather take the risk of losing his security at the end of the year to help Gao Yu to the top. I must have planned it long ago."

He Lan asked: "Didn't Your Highness have a long conversation with the Taifu today?"

"It's all about spying on him. The old fox has long since become a genius...but Mr. Yuan has shown his favor to Gu over and over again, and he doesn't mind if Gu ignores him." Speaking of this, Gao Jing sighed.

"Your Majesty really intends to establish a reserve as soon as possible?" Seeing him nodding, He Lan sighed, "So urgent..."

Gao Jing lowered his eyes and said: "Father has devoted himself to worrying about being overworked in recent years. He heard from his mother that he was always worried that he would suddenly suffer from a serious illness. At that time, the reserve position would be vacant, and the prince's wings would not be full. Gu and Brother Yu will succeed, but if an accident happens, they won't be able to fight..."

Speaking of this, he immediately shut his mouth as if he suddenly remembered something.He Lan Mingyue knew that he counted King Yu in, and thought: Gao Jing was close to King Yu on the surface, but in fact he also defended him?

So He Lan said: "This subordinate thinks that you and Prince Yu are very close."

Gao Jing stared at him for a long time, and said slowly: "If Uncle Huang really did his best for me, why would he send you here?"

A string in my mind was stretched to the extreme, and it was almost broken because of this sentence.Helan Mingyue didn't dare to look at Gao Jing, and hurriedly plopped down on his knees in front of him: "This subordinate will never harm you!"

"Won't you be lonely?" Gao Jing lowered his voice, "Take out what Lu Yi gave you that day."

How did he know? !

He Lan was surprised in his heart, the blood all over his body seemed to be cold, and his limbs seemed to be frozen and unable to move.With his forehead on the ground, he felt Gao Jing kicking his forehead with the toe of his boot: "Do you want to say it a second time?"

The tone was innocent, even gentle, but He Lan clearly felt strong cruelty from Gao Jing's words.

Even if there is a skin-to-skin date or bedtime sex, he thinks he can understand Gao Jing's every word and deed, but the other party doesn't really believe him... No, Helan Mingyue is shocked.

My heart suddenly calmed down, and my blood warmed up again.

He Lan Mingyue let out a long breath and raised her head: "Your Highness saw it?"

Gao Jing remained silent, looking at him with a calm expression, no emotion could be seen in those exquisite eyes.No disappointment, no shock, not even a little bit of trouble.

"Your Highness saw it, or heard it?" He Lan asked again, without waiting for his answer, "If you heard it, you should know that it wasn't meant for you."

"Presumptuous!" With a wave of Gao Jing's sleeve, the teacup was overturned to the ground, and the sound of the cracking of the porcelain was not as crisp as his voice, "Didn't the king of Yu target Gao Yu by attacking Chaogu?!"

The side of the face was cold, and then it hurt hotly.He Lan Mingyue didn't care about whether she was injured or not, and said: "You can naturally think of what your subordinates can think of, but there may be a chance to turn against customers."

Gao Jingxiang calmed down a little, and let out a deep breath: "Why do I believe you?"

He Lan Mingyue said: "Your Highness, if you walk through the gate of hell, you will naturally believe me."
