Huaigui

Half a month later, Helan Mingyue returned to Yinzhou, and the first snow of the year had already fallen.

At the beginning of the afternoon when he arrived, he arranged for several accompanying bodyguards at the bodyguard bureau, told them to go over the follow-up affairs, and then rode back to the palace without stopping for a while.

In the main hall, Xie Bi was facing the latest procurement list, and it was not surprising to see him come back, so he casually greeted: "So early?"

"I was supposed to arrive yesterday, but there was a sudden heavy snow, which delayed the trip." He Lan Mingyue took off his cloak and hung it on a shelf beside him, sat next to Xie Bi, took a sip of the tea he had just brewed, "During this time How about it?"

Xie Bi had something to do, so he said in a perfunctory way: "As usual..." After being hit hard on the temple, he wailed and threw away his abacus, "Why are you so quick to get started! Okay, okay, let me think about it... Fourth Uncle spent more and more time in the martial arts field, and even took Shuang'er to train, his attitude was not like training the militia, he wanted to form an army."

He Lan Mingyue asked back: "Have you ever seen an army performing martial arts?"

"No, but I read the storybook." Xie Bi said convincingly, "Besides, the fourth uncle used to do this before. He went back to his old job. I also asked him what he wanted to do. Guess what he said, 'Prevention Yu Weiran'!"

He Lanmingyue thought with a headache: Fourth Uncle has thought about it a lot, I don't know if Gao Jing has this idea, he is disabled now, so what if he is really unwilling?

He was full of thoughts, and he didn't hear Xie Bi who was next to him, one by one, recounting the family's shortcomings one by one. Finally, seeing that he didn't respond, he sighed and got back to business: "But you are absent-minded when I say so much, I guessed it a long time ago." , asking 'how is it during this time' is actually asking 'how is that in the small courtyard'?"

He Lan Mingyue drank tea, didn't admit it but didn't deny it either.

Shaking his teeth, Xie Bi picked up his abacus again: "I haven't seen him in these days, only met his maid a few times. Every day, Amang will make a special trip to cook for him, and don't eat us at all. It’s something that doesn’t come out of the gate all the year round, and you... I believe you are a princess.”

"I told you he couldn't walk."

"That can't be nested all the time..." Xie Bi complained softly, "It's like raising an ancestor."

He Lan Mingyue asked: "What does that attendant do?"

When Lin Shang was mentioned, Xie Bi's head suddenly became dizzy: "This man is elusive, but I still see him occasionally in the mansion. He seems to want to find Shuang'er, but Shuang'er is afraid of him, so he runs away as soon as he sees him."

But can Li Queshuang's three-legged cat kung fu alone avoid Lin Shang?It's just that he didn't have the heart to catch up.He Lan Mingyue secretly slandered, and listened to Xie Bi's arrangement of Gao Jing:

"It's because I have no experience. I don't know that people can be so particular about their lives. Hey, Big Brother He, when you followed him before, it would only be more ostentatious? The maid is buying charcoal and looking for someone to make clothes. She runs around every day." The pharmacy...is really rich, you say, let them pay some money? This place is better than the inn."

He Lan Mingyue was startled: "What are you doing buying charcoal?"

Xie Bi said casually: "Who knows, that princess of yours is afraid of the cold, but it's not the time to burn charcoal now! I'm also from Luoyang, so he can't?"

"First try to make it easier for people to travel. He is a patient, and now he doesn't care about the cost of food and clothing." After drinking the tea, He Lan Mingyue got up, "...Forget it, I will ask in person later."

Xie Bi smacked her lips exaggeratedly: "Tsk tsk tsk, I said the second leader, you really talk like fart! Who swore at the beginning that they were only responsible for finding a place for them to stay and didn't care about it. Going forward, who is going to lose their minds because of this person? Don’t I remember wrongly? You still want to play the trick of reuniting after a broken mirror? You—”

A small arrow hit the floor tile at his feet without any mistakes, and a crack was opened.

"——It's really affectionate and righteous!" With a thumbs up, Xie Bi fell silent after finishing speaking, and only sighed when she saw him disappearing outside the door, "Tch, hurry up .”

As soon as the words finished, Helan Mingyue suddenly appeared from the window, making Xie Bi tremble in fright: "I didn't say anything bad about you!"

He Lan rolled his eyes at him: "Contact a carpenter."

"Carpenter?" Xie Bi asked suspiciously, slapped his forehead and let out nonsense, "You are finally going to build a house, a golden house, and a hidden beauty. Do you want to find a plasterer?"

He Lan Mingyue didn't even bother to give a warning this time, strode over, grabbed Xie Bi and threw it on the table, and demonstrated to the counselor what it meant to be a real "misfortune comes from the mouth".

After the beating, he left refreshed.

Before reaching the courtyard where Gao Jing lived, he first met Amang who was holding a kettle and looked hurried.She also found Helan Mingyue, so she simply stopped at the spot and waited for him to come.

"Sister Amang, what are you doing?" He Lan Mingyue motioned for her things.

"It's getting colder when the snow melts. Recently, the young master is too cold to sleep at night." Amon said truthfully, "I've been asking around where I can buy charcoal that can't be smoked these days, but there are very few people selling it in this season in the city. So I have to Boil hot water a few more times, let the young master hold the teapot to warm his hands."

He Lan Mingyue said: "The first snow has just passed, so it's not too cold. You're new here, so it's inevitable that you're not used to it."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to fetch water for Amang, but Amang didn't refuse him, rubbed his hands and walked side by side with He Lan: "Lin Shang and I are used to being human, it doesn't matter if you are rough-skinned and thick-skinned... Young master, he has never been tortured by the bitter cold weather, and he drags his injured leg, if he freezes..."

Helan Mingyue pondered for a moment: "I'll find a doctor for him later."

Amang shook his head: "He is afraid of the cold...he was tortured too much in that place, and the roots were damaged. It is useless for ordinary doctors to treat him, so he can only raise it slowly. Lin Shang has a little knowledge of medicine, and he will be fine if you leave it to him." .”

It was inconvenient for Helan Mingyue to take matters into his own hands, so he nodded to express his understanding.

The two walked along the path in the mansion all the way to the courtyard gate, and Aman bowed to take the pot in Helan Mingyue's hand: "If you don't want to see him, then come here, thank you."

But he stopped: "...it's okay, sister, I'll take it in for you."

Amon straightened up and put his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile.

That expression made Helan Mingyue a little embarrassed. He was consciously avoiding the past with Gao Jing, but he was always helpless in front of people who knew the inside story.

In the half a month since we left, the small and medium-sized courtyard seemed to have changed a bit. There was a row of small earthenware pots and stoves in the corner, which were steaming.

Noticing Helan Mingyue's confusion, Amang explained: "There are four kinds of medicine and recuperation meals that you need to drink every day. To avoid conflicting medicinal properties, they must be brewed separately."

Helan Mingyue was secretly stunned by the number, but nodded calmly on the surface.He helped Amon carry the things into the hall, where an oil lamp was lit, and then walked in, because the windows were not opened and everything was sunk in darkness.Amang brewed a cup of tea, added two ginseng slices, and poured it in without asking Helan Mingyue if he would come.

He stood still and hesitated for a moment, then followed behind Amon.

Before crossing the simple screen, he heard a loud cough, followed by Lin Shang's voice: "You have a sip of tea first, then the subordinate will slip up."

Gao Jing coughed enough, and said slowly: "You fetch the pen and ink for me, I want to write a letter to Hua Mu. Don't hand it over to him after it's delivered to Suzhou, and give it to Gao Hong when he orders it."

"Yes." After Lin Shang answered, he asked again, "What if King Yu doesn't call him to Beijing?"

He was actually talking about important national affairs, and he thought he had nothing left to ask for!But if Gao Jing really doesn't care about the humiliation of being ousted, he seems to be angry again.

Helan Mingyue couldn't tell where his thoughts were, and when he noticed Aman's gaze, he shook his head slightly.

"Gao Hong's banner at the time was 'Qing Jun's side', and he and the Murong family were about to tear their skins apart. As long as their alliance is no longer stable, Gao Hong will definitely seek military support. The Chinese army has lost its commander. On the surface, he surrendered to him, but secretly made small moves. Constantly, it is difficult for him to sit back and relax with the Yuzhou Army alone, and now the only ones in the four seas who have not made a clear statement are the Southwest Army and the Longyou Army to which Hua Mu belongs..."

Helan Mingyue frowned, reached out and grabbed Amang, telling her not to enter first.

Gao Jing continued: "The Southwest Army wants to guard the old land of Chu and Yue, and they can't get away easily. If I were Gao Hong, I would definitely win over Hua Mu. Let him come to Beijing to have an audience, regardless of whether he agrees to cooperate or not, he will first take advantage of the situation and put him under house arrest. Governor of Longyou It is impossible for everyone in the government to refuse to accept Gao Hong, just set up another puppet."

Lin Shangdao: "The Longyou army is at the border...can it really work?"

"It doesn't matter if it's successful or not, as long as you have guns and soldiers, you can straighten your waist. Gao Hong is not an idiot, after all he has Helan's blood on his body. If Hua Muruo had dreamed of King Longxi, maybe he could use it for him."

"Then why do you want to win over Hua Mu?"

Gao Jing smiled and said: "You are stupid, I have nowhere to go, don't talk about Hua Mu, you can ask me to negotiate terms with anyone - except for those barbarians in Rouran, the Longcheng that was cut off back then has not yet come back Woolen cloth!"

Lin Shang didn't speak for a long time, Amang heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the tea and went in: "Drink ginseng tea."

She glanced back and saw that He Lan Mingyue was still in place, she was surprised, but her eyes did not escape Lin Shang: "Aman, what are you doing over there, someone is eavesdropping?"

The next moment, He Lan Mingyue went straight around the screen and walked out.

Gao Jing could not help but sit up straighter.

He looked at Gao Jing's appearance almost miserly: there was a heavy blanket on his legs, and the wide clothes still covered the side of his neck, making it easier to get up and down. At any rate, his face is a little more rosy than half a month ago, and he is no longer sick and weak with only one breath left.

Lin Shang looked at the delicate atmosphere between the two of them, bowed his hands to Gao Jing, said, "The subordinates are guarding outside", and dragged Aman away when he exited.

After the person left, Gao Jing's tension eased, and he leaned against the couch again: "Did you hear that?"

"Not a single word." He Lan Mingyue frowned, "I thought you really didn't want to think about anything, and when you got to this point, you said you didn't hate Gao Hong, or did you want to reset?"

Gao Jing lowered his eyes, and there was a peaceful smile on the corner of his mouth: "I am not as ambitious as my father, and it is enough to be a conservative king, but there are people who want to make things difficult for me. If I don't deserve it, I will stay out of it and not fight or grab it." , but it's mine... I will never let go easily, even if it is the throne."

"Do you think the world will just let the Gao family turn over and over again?!"

"Isn't it? Father's achievement in unifying the north and south is indeed comparable to that of Emperor Daowu. I am his crown prince, so naturally my name is justified." Hong torture?"

Of course He Lan Mingyue didn't mean that, he was speechless for a moment, and said angrily, "I don't want to argue with you."

Gao Jing tilted his body to reach the other teacup, and poured water for him: "We've been away for half a month since we first met, if I hadn't figured it out, I wouldn't have come here—have a cup of tea with me."

He Lan Mingyue didn't put on airs any more, she took the cup of tea and drank it standing up, sitting on a small wooden stool beside the couch: "What are you talking about?"

"It's something you're interested in." Gao Jing said it as a matter of course.

Helan Mingyue was silent, Gao Jing waited for a while and then said to himself: "If you don't tell me, then I will tell. Do you want to know how your father died?"

With a headache in her heart, He Lan Mingyue's eyes were sharp: "It's suicide."

"Yes, commit suicide." Gao Jing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then returned to his expressionless face for a moment, staring straight at him, "Then you haven't guessed why he committed suicide?"

"To protect the family."

"But did you really save your family after committing suicide?"

"Gao Jing!" He Lan Mingyue finally couldn't bear the scars exposed many times, and punched the side of the couch.

But Gao Jing didn't seem to be afraid of his anger, but leaned back quite satisfied: "Father told me about your father when he was seriously ill, and he didn't want your father to die, on the contrary, he wanted to know the truth when he imprisoned your father. It's a pity that your father didn't cooperate and didn't trust him, so in the end the two had no choice but to go against each other, and my father died of regret."

He Lan Mingyue snorted coldly: "I will believe your nonsense?"

"You don't have to believe it, I just want to tell you." The cup of tea Gao Jing was holding gradually cooled down, "He didn't commit suicide by his father, he met someone before that."

"..."

"When there was a mutiny, the Yuan family wanted to protect him, and the Murong family and the Dugu family wanted to kill him. No more evidence could be found in the case. The father forced the Ministry of Criminal Justice to transfer to Dali Temple for interrogation in person. The night before King Longxi committed suicide, he met at Dali Temple. King Yu, no one knows what they talked about, but the next morning, Royal Father received the news that he was dead."

After Gao Jing finished speaking, He Lan Mingyue's eyes were bloodshot and red, and his mouth was slightly opened in disbelief. He seemed to have thought of this reaction, and the teacup was placed on the table, and there was a soft sound.

"Why did King Yu go to see him? Why did your father commit suicide after meeting him? The Dali Temple is so heavily guarded that even a needle cannot be passed in. Where did your father get the knife he used to kill himself? Do you think your father didn't check it? "

"Could it be that he already knew that King Yu had ulterior motives..."

"But there is no evidence. Father was fledgling and controlled by others at that time, so he had to wait for the Murong family to complete the iron case." Gao Jing pursed his lips, trying to give him a relieved smile but did not move, "Now Gao Hong is hunting around. Me, at the same time... a man who has been dead for 20 years is alive."

He Lan Mingyue was startled: "Mei Gong!"

Gao Jing looked at him: "Helan Mingyue, we can cooperate."
