Huaigui

He avoids Gao Jing, and Gao Jing avoids him.

The two people who had been close before sat face to face for the first time in three years, and finally waited for the opportunity to talk on an equal footing. They changed their identities and positions, but they didn't look at each other.

When Helan Mingyue heard those words, her hands trembled, and the tea in her cup suddenly rippled.It's just that he has cultivated a face that is immovable over the years, and he will not lose his composure in front of others when the sky falls—let alone in front of Gao Jing at this time.

He changed into new clothes, came back full of energy, and tried his best to show that he had a good life, did he really have no intention of making Gao Jing regret it at all?

Tightening her fingertips, He Lan Mingyue usually asked, "What do you mean by not being able to stand up?"

"When I met you on the grassland, did you think I really didn't want to get out of the car?" Gao Jing put the stove in Aman's hands and drank tea by himself. It seems that he has suffered a great crime. He speaks slowly, often pauses, and even thinking about the following is an obstacle for him.

He Lan Mingyue sarcastically said: "If you don't want to, who would dare to force it?"

Gao Jing said softly: "There are a lot of people in this world who can force me. At first it was... Well, if you don't believe me, all the talking is just a waste of time."

"Ask yourself, what have you done that deserves my trust?" He Lanmingyue interrupted him rudely, "Don't pretend to be pitiful, Gao Jing. You came here from Luoyang all the way to say these few words to me, sorry Accompany."

Gao Jing didn't expect to be called by his name directly, opened his mouth, and lowered his head dullly, not pretending to be wronged.It's a pity that Helan Mingyue didn't believe it, and he couldn't justify it.

He has long eyelashes, the sun covers him completely, and the shadows on the eyelids are particularly prominent. From this angle, he really looks like he is crying. He Lan Mingyue remembered for no reason the words Xie Bi teased him the night before, and the beauty wept.In just a moment, he dismissed the idea and thought embarrassingly: But it has nothing to do with me.

After another long silence, Helan Mingyue passed the stressful state of seeing Gao Jing at the beginning, and her mind became active for a short time, and when she sensed something was wrong, her eyes fell on Gao Jing's sitting posture again.

Although Gao Jing liked to pretend to be pitiful and act coquettish in front of him before, he had never experienced such a moment of being speechless.Gao Jing has always been eloquent and eloquent, and he can speak eloquently about evil and fallacious ideas. It stands to reason that after three years of supervision, once he ascended the throne of God, he became more proficient in all kinds of rhetoric, so how could he be speechless for a long time.

The back is slightly arched, the posture of completely protecting oneself, and those legs...

What tragedy did he go through before he left Luoyang, how did he survive, and how did he travel thousands of miles away?

He Lan Mingyue wanted to ask but couldn't open her mouth. After taking two steps toward him, she said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with you just saying that you can't stand up? Make it clear, or I'll leave."

"Don't go!" Gao Jing's upper body leaned towards him, and then his center of gravity became unstable and he was about to fall, but Aman grabbed his arm.

The maid had a look of displeasure on her face, and she gave He Lan Mingyue a hard look, but Gao Jing didn't speak, and she had no position to say anything, the circles of her eyes immediately turned red.

Helan Mingyue looked at him, it was rare to see Gao Jing in distress, but he couldn't feel happy at all.

Gao Jing carefully raised his eyes, met his gaze, then retracted, afraid that he might have offended him somewhere.Aman couldn't bear it anymore, and pressed Gao Jing's shoulder: "He Lan, I asked Da to speak for His Majesty. Gao Hong raised his troops to usurp the throne, and the Imperial Army of Ziwei City broke four gates to surround the Taiji Hall. Your Majesty... His Majesty was captured by him, and he was imprisoned in the ghost prison for nearly a hundred days, until Gao Hongping Rouran's class teacher returned to the court and announced his ascension. You have also stayed in the palace, so you know where the ghost prison is."

How could he not know?

Nominally belonging to Dali Temple, most of the prisoners held for interrogation are vicious prisoners, which is exactly what the saying "living crimes cannot escape".The jailers and officials inside will use all kinds of means to extract confessions, and when the interrogation is over and they are released, they are no longer human beings, hence the name "ghost prison".

Gao Jing stayed there for a hundred days, why?

He couldn't believe it, and Aman took a breath and continued: "Gaohong's people beat and scolded at every turn, and let... let the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness watch His Majesty be punished at a place separated by a wall, looking for trouble every day. The cold water woke me up, and I wanted to sit, so I took the shackles and chained it to the wall. It’s a blessing that His Majesty is not crazy now, what are you trying to do to him!”

As she was talking, she was about to cry again, Helan Mingyue couldn't take it anymore and told her to stop, but Aman didn't: "You suffered, so Your Majesty didn't suffer? What do you want to have an attack, wait until he recovers!"

"What's the matter with the legs?" He Lan Mingyue yelled at her, losing her demeanor.

"...It's Gao Hong, a traitor." Aman pressed Gao Jing, and couldn't help but bowed and lifted the hem of his gown to show Helan Mingyue, "After the iron nails are inserted, all the bones are smashed, no medicine is given, and the length is fixed. When it was better, the nail was embedded again...he just wanted to make His Majesty unable to escape!"

The white jade-like legs were wrapped in thick gauze and splints, and the dried blood was dark red.The wound was not exposed, but he could imagine what kind of tragedy it was, and suddenly he couldn't bear it.

Amang finally said: "Your Majesty was rescued... When he was rescued, all the meridians from the knee down were completely abolished. Fortunately, a doctor reattached his bones... But it will be difficult to stand up in this life, let alone recover—"

Raising his hand to stop Aman, Gao Jing gently put down his gown: "It's okay, I don't feel any pain anymore."

Helan Mingyue was speechless.

Gao Jing's movements were very slow, as if every move brought pain in his bones.Helan Mingyue watched him straighten the folds of his clothes, and suddenly wondered: Yinzhou's summer is not as hot as Luoyang's, but it's definitely not cold. Also covered so high?

But when he asked again, he seemed to care about Gao Jing, He Lan Mingyue turned his head away: "Why are you here?"

The subtext was his own news, and Gao Jing understood it: "The old land of King Longxi is in Longcheng, Yinzhou, and Xiazhou. Among them, Longcheng has already been ceded, and Xiazhou is too close to Yumen to be noticed by the court. Only Yinzhou is not far enough for you to hide. After inquiring about the recent changes in Yinzhou, it is easy to think that the Escort Bureau is your property."

"You have limited mobility, and you came here just because of a speculation that you traveled thousands of miles away?"

Gao Jing smiled, put his hands on his knees and raised his face: "In the past, I would never do things that I was not sure about. But it is not what it used to be. Where to escape is not to escape. God left this life for me. Cherish it."

There was a lot of meaning in the words, He Lan Mingyue just thought he was talking about the ghost prison and didn't pay much attention to it, and said: "I won't keep you."

Gao Jingdao: "Won't Yinzhou keep me?"

"If you escape from prison, King Yu will hunt you down."

"Now you should call him His Majesty instead." Gao Jing corrected him, "What about the pursuit? My people are all trapped in Luoyang, and I have no military power. If I go north, I can only flee to Rouran... sooner or later I will be sent back to Luoyang Let him go."

Helan Mingyue's throat moved slightly: "Why?"

Gao Jing glanced at him: "It was my father and I who supported Ah Luo. He came to power to replace Xirouran Khan. When his father passed away, Gao Hong instigated several tribes of Dongrouran to jointly attack... Da Victory, A Luo was killed. Going south, Southern Chu was destroyed, and Li Huan was powerless and unable to protect himself. You said, is the king land the world, where can he escape?"

He Lan Mingyue said: "Aren't you afraid that I will send you back to Luoyang to ask Gao Hong for credit?"

Hearing this, Aman's eyes stabbed at Helan Mingyue like a knife, but was stopped by Gao Jing's eyes.When he looked at Helan Mingyue, he finally had a trace of the old look, and asked with a smile, "Would you do it?"

"What if you go back?"

"No, maybe go to the ghost prison." Gao Jing trembled a little when he said those two words, and he recovered after a while and continued, "He won't kill me, you can rest assured."

But what is he worried about?

Speaking of being disabled and Gao Hong who brought him to this point, he didn't have the slightest bit of hatred to grit his teeth. This is not the Gao Jing he is familiar with, the royal nobleman, the proud son of heaven... He can see nothing from the current Gao Jing, only all thoughts are in despair. Like duckweed, how can we get a glimpse of the appearance of Zhilan Yushu that day?

Does Gao Jing think that all he cares about is that he feels guilty for taking his life?

Helan Mingyue didn't answer, went to the front of the hall and opened the main door.

The blazing sun poured in, Gao Jing was caught off guard and raised his sleeve to block it for a while, his eyes adjusted to the too bright light before putting down his arms.

He Lan Mingyue leaned against the door and made a gesture, and the two guards in the courtyard rushed to his side, one of them said: "Second Master, what's the matter?"

Feeling the nervous eyes behind her keeping on her, Helan Mingyue greeted the two of them: "Brother Li, please go back to the mansion and tell Mrs. Duan Liu to clean up the small courtyard in the northeast corner. These are my guests. I will temporarily live in that courtyard later, and may live there for a long time."

Amang showed surprise on his face: "He Lan..."

He Lan Mingyue turned a deaf ear to it: "Brother Wei, I still need to trouble you to stay here. When Fourth Uncle comes back and informs the matter, just say that I left them behind, and don't embarrass them in the future."

The two agreed, and they split up. He Lanmingyue sighed, secretly thinking that her heart had softened after all.

If he couldn't see it and didn't know it, he wouldn't care about Gao Jing at all.When those sick legs got into his eyes, if he didn't help him, it would be like pushing someone into a fire pit...

Is it possible to watch him flee here and there, and finally be captured by Gao Hong and continue to torture him half-dead?

"Sister Amang, you go live with me." She opened her mouth, and the rest of the words came out naturally, "But there is no one to serve you in that shabby place, everything depends on you alone."

Amon said in a complicated mood, "Why did you help us...?"

He Lan Mingyue turned her head away and said: "No matter who is standing in front of me in this situation, I will help."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Jing smiled: "Thank you."

Helan Mingyue didn't want to look back to see whether his expression was mocking or something, and asked Amang, "Does my sister know the place?" Amang denied it, and he said, "Then follow me first, and I will show you the way." He turned his head and walked out of the main hall, Gao Jing behind him spoke in a natural tone, and suddenly said: "The Lin merchant came to hug me."

His footsteps stopped suddenly, and his back was a little stiff.

Don't you want to?Still not reconciled?

You see, Helan Mingyue, some things will always be done by others when you are not around, and you can't change anything when you are around.

Helan Mingyue clenched her hands tightly and then let go, and let out a deep breath.Facing the sun, he turned into a log in the yard, and after a while, his back became hot, and he didn't know if he had been in the sun for too long.

The sound of cloth rubbing against each other occasionally sounded, and He Lan Mingyue couldn't help herself wanting to look back.When he turned his head, he was still expecting that maybe Gao Jing was lying just now, until he saw him open his hand to Lin Shang, Aman took Lin Shang's horizontal knife, and found that He Lan was looking at them.

She apologized: "Your Highness is not easy to get up...I have no feeling below the knees, forgive me."

Helan Mingyue shook his head, he walked quickly, and when the light was backlit, his shadow fell on Gao Jing.Gao Jing glanced over Lin Shang's shoulder and stopped suddenly.

"This..." Lin Shang was taken aback, and stood aside with his hands down, "Master?"

In front of the servants in the courtyard, the address was changed quite quickly.Helan Mingyue thought a little bit sourly, she is obviously my person, yet she didn't come to ask me for help if she made it like this.

He was silent, Gao Jing pursed his lips and hesitated to speak, then moved back a little bit, leaning on the edge of the stool - a position that is neither high nor low is not hindered by ordinary people, he must have been sitting very uncomfortable since he didn't feel his legs and feet.Seeing his timid look, He Lan Mingyue got angry and squeezed away the waiting forest merchants.

"Let me come." He Lan Mingyue looked down at him, her tone was like giving alms, "How do you usually help him?"

He was still talking to Aman, but his eyes were always looking in the direction of Gao Jing. The undisguised gaze made Gao Jing unspeakably embarrassed, and his knuckles were flushed.

Amang came back to his senses and looked at Lin Shang in embarrassment. The guard stepped back half a step to signal that it was okay, and she said: "Just... when I was injured, I hooked my knees and back, and now I am used to it. But it doesn't matter if you carry it, it's just that it will be crushed...Young Master's heart is not very comfortable..."

Before the words finished, He Lan Mingyue expressed her understanding, nodded, and took a side step to wrap her arms around Gao Jing's shoulders, and put her other arm around Gao Jing's knees, feeling the other's body tense immediately.

Not only Gao Jing, the moment he touched him again after several years, the tip of his nose smelled of medicine, and He Lan Mingyue's heart skipped a beat.

He lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened, and as soon as he hugged him up hard, He Lan Mingyue didn't dare to touch Gao Jing's leg.He was still concerned about adding to Gao Jing's injury, half of himself was laughing wryly and mocking, saying "you see, you are still worthless", while the other half said it forgiving and forgiving, after all, he had already ended up like this.

It's been a long time since Helan Mingyue has hugged anyone like this, when Helan Mingyue turned around, the hand resting on the knees moved up a little distance, the gap of weightlessness was very short, but Gao Jing suddenly hugged his neck as if frightened.

The distance between the two suddenly narrowed.

The medicinal fragrance was stronger, with a bit of body warmth, He Lan Mingyue couldn't help frowning.

Gao Jing saw his expression, and immediately wanted to let go of his hands.He Lan Mingyue looked ahead: "Hold it, I'm not like your attendants who are sympathetic to whether your steps are steady or not."

Gao Jing didn't move any more, his wrist was clasped weakly at the back of his neck.

Such a posture was clearly intimate, they had done it countless times before, but this time he couldn't feel He Lan Mingyue's mood, and he didn't have the guts to lean on his shoulder presumptuously.

We met, and the distance between the two is even farther than when we were apart.

The other party's breath fell lightly on the tip of Gao Jing's nose, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
