May you live in peace

When Gao Shan woke up in the morning, he saw Yin Xi sleeping next to him, with his head resting on her left side, in a deep sleep.

Her eyelashes are very long and dense, and when she touched them with her hand, they were itchy, but the fundus of her eyes was a little blue. She probably came back late yesterday and didn't have a good rest.But seeing the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, she knew she was awake.

"The son-in-law got up really early."

Seeing that the corners of this person's eyes were curved, she was really good-looking, thinking that she would have to go to bed early today, and kissed the corner of her eyes, then got up first, changed her clothes, and then put on her clothes.

Yin Xi raised her hand and saw Gao Shan dressed her well, thinking that she had lived like this with this man for almost a month, but it was like this every day. Seeing him going to fetch water, she couldn't help but pat him on the back. Back, motioning him to help her hair.

The two sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the figure reflected in the bronze mirror. Takasugi had a slender body, and his face was obviously a little cold because of his long-term emotions, but now he was gentle, rubbing his fingertips slowly Yin Xi's scalp, lest she get a headache from lack of sleep.Then he picked up the wooden comb, combed her hair and tied it up.

Holding the teacup, Yin Xi rinsed his mouth, seeing that it was still early, he pulled Gao Shan to let her sit beside him, pursed his lips, and said.

"Today's government must be complicated. If there are any changes in the court, you don't want to interfere. Even if it will harm the people around you, you have to be patient for a while, okay?"

"Did something happen?" Although Yin Xi's eyes showed more concern than before when she spoke, Gao Shan still hoped that she would tell him more things so that he could help her share her troubles.

Seeing Gao Shan's persistence, Yin Xi knew what he was thinking, and said leisurely.

"King Wei died two days ago."

Gao Shan was taken aback. When he met King Wei at the Lotus Appreciation Festival not long ago, he was still full of energy, with a strong body, and he looked like he was still full of energy. He chatted with the ministers from time to time, not like a sick person.Now it has only been ten days, and King Wei passed away, which is unbelievable.

Seeing Gao Shan's doubts and his appearance waiting for the next sentence, he continued.

"When I entered the palace yesterday, King Wei's coffin hadn't been covered yet. His cronies knelt aside and listened to him. No one knew how or when King Wei died. Only him Two days ago, I locked myself in the study room, saying that no one should disturb me, but no one responded when I sent people to call at night. They thought that King Wei had already rested, so they didn't enter the room. They went back the next morning At that time, I found that there was still no response, and only after my cronies broke through the door did I find that King Wei was already sitting on a chair, dying of breath."

"Things won't be simple. Xi has stayed in the palace since yesterday afternoon and came back late at night."

Seeing that he even reached out to touch the Qingdai under the corner of his eyes, she thought that since she was in power, she only had three days of rest when she got married.The daily affairs always make her have no time to take care of many things and things, including Gao Shan's concern for herself. She rarely spares time to stay with him for a while and chat.

"Yes, King Wei's death was extremely sudden and strange. The emperor invited me to Beijing yesterday to deal with this matter."

"Nowadays almost all the kings have their own influence, only King Wei, King Jin and King Chu are special. King Chu is now in the capital, and the father relies on him more, but he is an old fox, more cunning and cautious than anyone else. King Jin In the early years, he was loved by the late emperor, so he naturally protected him more. Many aristocrats and merchants in the capital liked to associate with him. Naturally, he wrote a little more than others. But King Wei stretched his hand into the barracks. Thinking that if he behaves like this again, I am going to send someone to recruit him into the palace, after all, my father doesn't like people with too much ambition, and it is up to my father to decide whether to be exiled or demoted, but I didn't expect him to die suddenly."

When Gao Shan sees Yin Xi mentioning Yin Ran, his expression is a little strange. Maybe it has something to do with the meticulousness and sensitivity brought by her own identity, or maybe it has something to do with her staying for a long time. Gao Shan always cares about Yin Xi's small actions.Her eyes narrowed slightly, and Gao Shan knew that it was because Yin Xi was a little upset, or was hiding some kind of emotion.

"Does the emperor want to hide this matter?"

"Yes, but not all of them. Now that Emperor Father is in poor health and King Wei died suddenly, it is inevitable that other princes will have their own thoughts."

"What about today's government affairs?"

"I don't know what will happen, but I will never tell the world that King Wei is dead. The only excuse I can find is to give him an honor, saying that he went to work in the southwestern state and county. As for the later things, let's talk He died in office and dedicated himself to the country."

Gao Shan was silent, only feeling that things in the court are becoming more and more difficult to figure out.Thinking of the fact that King Wei died but could not be known to others, and even the cause of his death was to die with the wind for the sake of the peace of the government, he couldn't help feeling desolate. Is the royal family really ruthless?

As if seeing his flash of sadness, Yin Xi also felt that this matter was a bit ruthless. Wei Wang Yin Xu is Yin Ran's half-brother, but he also wanted to choose an honorable one for the safety of the court. How to die.

As if remembering something, Gao Shan raised his head to look at Yin Xi, and told her everything he had encountered yesterday afternoon.

Yin Xi's expression didn't change after listening, but she unconsciously touched the fishing float on the wooden chair, then looked at the sky outside the door, as if she had figured out something, and then drank her morning tea.

"Have you learned something?"

"Yeah." Yin Xi nodded, connecting all the things in his heart, and finally knew what was going on, but it was inconvenient to tell Gao Shan now, he had better not be dragged into it, this matter, just hand it over Solve it for her.

Knowing that Yin Xi didn't want him to participate in it, Gao Shan didn't ask, he just arranged the breakfast brought by the servants, and then served it to Yin Xisheng, not forgetting to tell her not to patronize drinking tea, it would be bad for her stomach.Yin Xi smiled, put the teacup aside, and the two of them had breakfast in peace.The servants carried the sedan chair, Yin Xi thought that the morning sky was still cool and the morning was not too late, so she took Gao Shan's hand and walked to the palace gate.

The affairs of the imperial court were indeed developing in the direction Yin Xi had expected. Looking at the emperor who had been sitting on the dragon chair for a long time and hadn’t dealt with government affairs in court, he had a sickly face and had someone read out the edict of the canonization of King Wei, conferring him the title of Southwest Prefecture The Ministry is guarded, dealing with the affairs of the Southwest County.Gao Shan obviously saw that the expressions of the people around him were different, except King Qin who was a little more honest, others showed more or less emotions.

What people didn't expect was that Fan Yu didn't participate in the early court today. When the emperor asked him, someone told him that he was sick these few days and his health was getting worse, and even Hu Zhenbei didn't expect that Fan Yu's face was so serious since he was so sick. Everything has changed.Yin Ran's eyes froze, but he asked someone to send more medicinal materials, and even sent someone from the Imperial Hospital to Fan's Mansion to see a doctor for Duke Fan.

Originally, there was nothing to discuss in the early court, but the emperor issued another imperial decree, conferring Pan Chan, the editor of the Gongyuan, as Yushi Zhongcheng, and conferring the king of Chu as the one-word side-by-side king to stay in the capital.All the ministers were surprised at once, not to mention that Pan Chan has no merits, how could he be directly promoted to the fourth-rank minister and take charge of official affairs?Besides, the King of Chu was originally a vassal king, so he rashly stayed in the capital, not to mention what other vassal kings thought, and the position of the eldest princess seemed extremely embarrassing.In the end, even Yin Luo raised his head and looked at Yin Ran, with indescribable doubts and incomprehension in his eyes, but seeing that the imperial sister listened to the edict in a very flat manner, Yin Luo had no choice but to hide all her emotions stand up.

Some ministers stood up and said that this matter is inappropriate. The eldest princess has been in charge of state affairs for many years. The king of Chu is not familiar with the affairs of Beijing, so how can he participate in the government affairs of the court as a one-word king? position, but it cannot be clearly stated.

Seeing that more and more ministers were standing below, Yin Ran's face was a little dark, but seeing that Yin Xi, her son-in-law, and the most powerful people around her did not stand up, Yin Ran just held back her anger, Coughed a few times to suppress the increasingly noisy discussion below.

"Since the minister objected so much, and the minister did not have such high ability, I still hope that the imperial edict will be withdrawn." Chu King Yin Yang rarely expressed it in the court. Although Gao Shan was also resentful, but thinking about what Yin Xi said this morning, She also had to behave very calmly.Now Yin Yang appears to be extremely humble, but Gao Shan knows that he actually has the intention to win over the Habayashi Army. After all, she is now a Zhonglang general and has cronies in her hand, so she naturally knows what the King of Chu is thinking.It's just that this person didn't move much and was very careful. Gao Shan didn't want to alarm him too early, so he just took more precautions.

"Father has taken a fancy to the emperor's uncle, why should the emperor shun it?" As soon as Yin Xi finished speaking, the surrounding ministers experienced another ups and downs. They didn't expect that the eldest princess would persuade Yin Yang to accept this unreasonable imperial edict.

Gao Shan stood behind her, watching her smile all the time, felt uncomfortable.

Yin Xi's concession led Yin Ranshun to make Yin Yang the one-word king, and then talked about things in various places, because the emperor was in poor spirits and retired from the court.

When he left the palace gate, Yin Xi was already surrounded by a group of ministers, some trusted and some talented.Yin Xi just flirted with them, saying that since the imperial father had issued an imperial edict, he naturally followed His Majesty's wishes and could not mess up his identity.Some ministers seemed to understand something instantly, nodded repeatedly, and then left.

Yin Xi looked at King Chu's position, and there were already many people around him.Although Pan Chan was promoted, he was not well-known after all, and his benefits were not great. Occasionally, many colleagues chatted with each other, but they all shied away and left.Looking at the figure that disappeared at the gate of the palace, in fact, the biggest protagonist today is not Yin Yang at all, but you, Pan Chan.

Seeing that the people had almost left, Gao Shan was about to go forward, but was stopped by the little yellow gate.

"My son-in-law, the emperor welcomes you." Xiao Huangmen's voice was very low, but Yin Xi, who was standing two steps away from Gao Shan, heard it. She squinted her eyes and looked at Gao Shan who left with Xiao Huangmen, feeling a little uneasy. .

'Yin Ran, you'd better not touch him. '

"Minister, see Your Majesty." After Gao Shan entered the door, he saw Yin Ran sitting on the dragon chair, with his back to himself, holding a painting in his hand, and he could only vaguely see a group of people dressed in light red, surrounded by grassland.

After kneeling for an unknown amount of time, seeing Yin Ran put away the painting, he slowly turned around, took a sip of tea, and leaned back on the chair like this, looking at himself with vacant eyes. His face was pale, but he looked extremely oppressed, but he He didn't speak, and didn't let himself get up.

"Do you know why I gave you a marriage contract with Rong Yi?"

"I don't know."

Yin Ran hummed softly, then raised his almost bony hand, and slowly stroked the teacup, there was another moment of silence, Gao Shan only felt that his clothes were already wet with sweat.

"Let me ask you this, are you loyal to me, or to Rong Yi?"

Takasugi glanced at him, what did the emperor mean?

Ignoring his inner guess, Yin Ran just stood up, walked to Gao Shan very slowly, and then looked down at her.

"I don't want you to show your loyalty here, but I don't know you well. Since I can't find out your life experience, if Tian Ao hadn't persuaded me, I would have killed you the day Rong Yi chose you." about you."

Yin Ran's eyes were dark, and that inadvertent words made Gao Shan's spine shudder suddenly, looking at this invisible king, Gao Shan had to bury his body and lower his head.She knew that since this man was looking for her like this, he must want her to do something.

"You don't have to look like this, how can you be worthy of the royal status."

After speaking, he walked back step by step, and then sat on the dragon chair, as if exhausted, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I called you here, naturally I have something to tell you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I want you to find something, this paper will explain what it is, and I want you not to mention this matter."

Gao Shan took the cloth he dropped, and after opening it, he realized that it was probably in the Princess Mansion, to be precise, it was probably in Yin Xi's hands.

"I know all your actions, you just do this for me, if you dare to betray me, I will destroy everything you care about most."

'Ding', the words 'wood', 'da', and 'hu' were engraved on a few wooden signs that fell on the ground. Gao Shan raised his head and glanced at the man on the top seat. Sure enough, no matter what, you are the emperor after all.

"No." Gaoshan replied after folding the cloth.

After a while, Xiao Huangmen said something in Yin Ran's ear, Yin Ran smiled sullenly, and then let Gao Shan go down.

Lifting his already numb leg, Gao Shan endured great discomfort and left the hall, but saw Yin Xi standing not far from the door, with several guards beside him.

Seeing Gao Shan limping along, thinking that he had been in there for almost an hour, and it seemed that he had been kneeling for a long time, his eyes darkened.

A few steps forward to support Gao Shan, seeing him smiling slightly, shook his head, then led Yin Xi and walked towards the palace gate.

Looking back at the main entrance of the main hall, the imperial robe was hidden in the darkness. It was the midsummer at the end of July, but it also looked gloomy and cold.Yin Xi raised her hand as a signal before the guards left.Squeezing Gao Shan's hand, he saw him looking at him, his face was covered with sweat, but he still smiled, trying to reassure himself.Yin Xi didn't speak, just pursed his lips, and then wrapped his hands behind his back.

Back at the Princess Mansion, Gao Shan could not stand still anymore, Yin Xi sent someone to get the medicinal wine, so she squatted down, wanting to check her situation.

"Hey, no need, I'll take care of it myself."

Looking at the man's arm in front of his eyes, he stood up, trying to help himself up.

Yin Xi patted her hand away, not sure if she was angry or for some other reason, Gao Shan just felt that she was not in a good mood, so she sat down and did not move, but she was thinking about what the emperor told her today, what is this thing? What?

Seeing him calm down, he looked up at his situation, but saw Gao Shan sitting there obediently, seeing himself looking at him and smiling.

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"Really?" He tapped his knee lightly.

Takasugi took a sharp breath.

'Hiss', it really hurts.

Seeing that the corners of his eyes were wrinkled due to the rare pain, he was still a little worried. He lifted his robe and rolled up his trouser legs, only to see that the knees were already black and black.The marble floor also has a textured floor, which made the skin around his knees worn out, stained with scarlet, and looked a bit blurry.

Pursing his lips, he gently wiped his knees with a handkerchief. Seeing him smiling forbearably, he even touched the top of his hair with his hand. In the end, this person just didn't want to worry about himself, so he endured everything. with.

"What did the emperor tell you?"

"It's nothing."

Seeing that he answered quickly, he didn't even think about it.

"Then you stayed in there for an hour?"

Seeing Yin Xi's expression while laughing, but still serious, and wiping her knee a little harder, Gao Shan endured the pain, but lowered his head and kissed Yin Xi's forehead.

"It's really okay, trust me, okay?"

Seeing him like this, Yin Xi had no choice but to hand over the wooden basin to Zhuqing, bandage him up, and let him go back to bed to rest.

Seeing that Gao Shan was fast asleep, Yin Xicai sat beside her and looked at her. In fact, she vaguely guessed why Yin Ran was looking for Gao Shan.But since Gao Shan didn't want to say it, she didn't ask, she knew that this person was actually working hard to do something that could help her. In fact, she could see it and believed that this person could protect herself.Leaning over to take care of the broken hair on his head, he left the mansion, ready to see Yin Luo.

It wasn't until Yin Xi got up and left that Gao Shan sat up, endured the discomfort on his legs, and walked slowly to the study.
