May you live in peace

In the afternoon, in the palace, Gao Shan was sitting in the lobby of Baihu Pavilion.This building is different from any other buildings in the palace. It is shaped like a pagoda, and the lobby on the ground floor is covered with various decorations.Turning around the screen, you will find the stairs to the upper floor, but Jiao Tianao usually won't let you go up.

Gao Shan touched his clothes, made sure that the medicine stone was really lost, and couldn't help but sigh.I don't know if it was because when Xi was drunk, in order not to let her go, she dragged her away when she grabbed her skirt.

The sound of 'da da' footsteps brought back Gao Shan's attention. Hearing the heavy but slightly unsteady steps, Jiao Tianao's figure against the light appeared in front of her.

"You came."

With a slow and soft voice, Gao Shan looked at his face with a little surprise, but quickly returned to his original state.

"You want to see me?"

Holding on to the escalator, I saw him going down the stairs step by step. His pale face was aging at a speed visible to the human eye. His gray hair and red and swollen eyes showed that he had experienced violent emotional fluctuations.

"Correct."

Jiao Tianao didn't seem to be satisfied with his appearance, he still had his usual elegant image, sitting upright on the mahogany chair.

"Did you find what I asked you to bring last time?"

"Sorry, I found it, but lost it accidentally."

Gao Shan didn't intend to lie to him, and Jiao Tianao shook his head indifferently, it was just a soothing medicine stone, but it could also help him sleep peacefully at night.

"No problem."

After a moment of silence, Jiao Tianao continued.

"Don't you wonder why I became like this?"

Seeing that Jiao Tianao asked first, Gao Shan sized his face up, then shook his head with a low smile.

"The son-in-law is really indifferent."

Gao Shu, you look into his eyes, but you can read something, this person who has lived for so long, what is his heart like?

"The national teacher already knew that I had sneaked into the palace?"

Her entry into the palace did not attract anyone's attention, and she also thought that no one knew her identity except Xi and Luo Er.However, she received a letter from Jiao Tian'ao the night before, which made her heart constrict, but at the same time, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.Because he didn't threaten himself, he just wanted to see himself. As for why he saw her, Gao Shan was not worried that he would harm him.

"Naturally, you were chosen by God, I naturally know."

Gao Shan didn't pay attention to the meaning of his words, but waited for him to continue talking, saying that he saw his purpose.

"Would you like to hear a story?"

Jiao Tianao raised his trembling hand, the back of his hand had scratches and wrinkles.He took a sip of water from the tea bowl and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"Okay." The people in this world, as well as the people who have appeared around me, seem to have their stories.

"Once upon a time, there was a man, let's call him the Holy Son, because he has never suffered setbacks. He is a person favored by heaven, born with the power sent by heaven, and he lacks nothing."

"That person must be the national teacher." Gao Shan pointed out.

Seeing her explaining, Jiao Tianao was not embarrassed, instead he smiled and continued.

"He also thought that he didn't lack anything. After all, he has been wandering around in this world for thousands of years. What else can make him feel strange. However, no, even if he is blessed by the heavens, he is just an ordinary person."

Gao Shan saw that Jiao Tianao's eyes looked retrospective and nostalgic, but he just looked at his expression and didn't interrupt.

"Do you know what is the saddest thing in this world?"

Jiao Tianao turned his head to ask Gao Shan, the corners of his eyes were half-smiles, and the corners of his lips were curled up, looking friendly, but a bit weird.

Gao Shan crossed his line of sight, looked up at the scenery outside the window, and murmured: "Love."

"Hehe, that's right." Jiao Tianao laughed lowly, his voice hoarse, and then shook his head lightly.

"He used to be an indifferent person. Although this world is slightly different from the world he once knew and experienced, it still looks the same. The rising sun in the east and the afterglow in the west. But God seems to be very fond of this child he raised with his own hands. , In this world, he found a girl who could make him fall in love. Just like that, he slowly fell into a difficulty that ordinary people would go through."

"That girl is Prime Minister Wen's daughter, Wen Yu."

Jiao Tianao looked up in shock. How could she know about the history that he deliberately erased and sealed?

As if aware of his shock, Takasugi didn't say anything.In fact, these things should be regarded as unknown, except for Dou Lian and Yin Jiao who are still alive, and that person who knew about these pasts has either passed away or was secretly executed by Jiao Tianao.She also just accidentally found it in Master Mu's handbook. To be honest, she didn't expect that this seemingly desireless person once ruined everything for the one he loved.

Jiao Tianao quickly recovered his expression, looked at Gao Shan with a hint of unfathomable expression, he smiled as if mocking himself, and then said.

"Do you know, I am not a person without desires, I maintain the nobility and abstinence of being the "chosen child" in their mouths every day, and I do the expression and demeanor of heaven and man, and the world treats me Like a saint, the respect for me is no less than that of the emperor."

"But, I don't care." Gao Shan looked at Jiao Tianao, but saw him standing up and walking around slowly.

"I respect both Mu Changfeng and Yin Jiao. It is undeniable that they, as my masters, have taught me many things that even I don't know. I even seem to have forgotten the things that I have lived for thousands of years. I began to integrate into this world. I followed the choices of this world, respected all laws, and tried not to change the trajectory of this world because of my own strength. The only thing I cherish and desire is to be with Yu, to be able to Guard her."

Gao Shan found the true feelings in Jiao Tianao's eyes, and for that short moment, she felt that the person opposite also had layman's feelings.

"But, do you know? Ha, just when I was about to propose marriage to Prime Minister Wen, since that animal fell in love with Yu and wanted to marry her as his concubine, ha, what is he, he is just a Incompetent prince."

Jiao Tianao's expression changed, with sarcasm and anger.Gao Shan knew who he was talking about, the late emperor's prince, Yin Qi.

"Yin Qi, I'm really sorry for his name. Everyone in the world says he's talented and looks like an emperor, but he's just a pervert, a bloodthirsty tyrant. My master clearly knows what kind of concubines marry Yin Qi. Destiny also knows how disgusting and hated Yin Qi's special hobbies are. But since they dedicated Yu to that shit prince Yin Qi while I was out, ha, what are they thinking? Since they still have Face dissuades me in front of me, saying that this is the destiny of heaven, Yin Qi is the future emperor chosen by heaven, and all his actions are acquiesced by heaven. Heh, they clearly know Yin Qi's atrocities, and know that his eyes are hidden in the eyes of the world. Invisible, dirty and bloody hands, since he still has the face to tell me that what Yin Qi did was right, just because he is that shit future emperor!"

Gao Shan looked at this devastated man in shock, she had never seen Jiao Tianao lose his composure like this, that crazy expression, and the obscene words he uttered, were passed on to the world, and had no resemblance to the Immortal in his impression. place.Right now, he just thinks of a person who has lost his will, supporting his aging body with one hand, and pointing at random in the air with the other hand, the frenzy and depression in his eyes erupted in an instant, and Takasugi was even shocked by his current appearance Can't wait.

"Do you know how much pain I felt when I saw Yu's suddenly haggard face after marrying him? The scared look, the inadvertent trembling when he was beside Yin Qi, and the pleading in his eyes when he looked at me. You know How much did I want to kill him, kill the person who ruined Yu? I even sent my own secretly trained bodyguards, I wanted to rescue Yu, I wanted to take her away from this place, but, ha, ha .”

Jiao Tianao was a little too excited, and after taking a few breaths, he looked at Gao Shan. There were too many emotions that Gao Shan could not understand in his eyes.All along, she knew that in this world, the person she couldn't understand the most might be the man in front of her.

"My master, the master I have always respected actually stopped me, and then locked me up, preventing me from entering the palace. They confiscated my guards, and then cut off any contact with other people. They actually Said, I am violating the will of the heavens and changing the fate of the country Hao. I laughed, and I asked them, Yin Qi is the fate of the country Hao? A man, the fate of a country, is actually related to a woman? Since you want a Girl, bear it! They didn't even give me an answer. They released me for a whole month, but I heard the news that made me sad. My future wife, since she was pregnant with that beast Bloodline! I got rid of the guards sent by Mu Changfeng to follow me and went to the palace, but saw a scene that I will never forget in my life. The person I love the most is lying on the soft footsteps with a haggard and exhausted body. She looked dull and silent, what a beautiful person she used to be, but now she has become like this. She asked me to take her away, let me take her away from Yin Qi's side. I will take her away, I think Take her to a world where there are only the two of us. However, since Mu Changfeng and Yin Qi sent troops to arrest me, ha, do you know what Mu Changfeng said to me? What does Hao Guo's fate have to do with Yin Qi!"

Jiao Tianao fell to the ground, his white hair drooping and dragging all over the floor.He looked at the roof, his eyes couldn't see clearly under the light.Gao Shan's heart was churning, and she didn't know what to say because of the mixed taste.Jiao Tianao glanced at her, and he could clearly see what was in that expression.Standing up slowly from the ground, he patted the dust on his clothes, then put away his crazy demeanor, and continued to preach.

"Mu Changfeng sent me out of the capital and sent me to Jizhou, saying that he wanted me to drop out of school. Half a year later, in that winter, I returned to the city, only to hear the news that the princess had passed away. Do you know how shocked and unbelievable I was at that time? The person who was reciting poems with me a year ago, discussing the future and ideals, just disappeared. When I went to the Prince's Mansion, Yin Qi originally wanted to He wanted to drive me away, but was stopped by Yin Jiao. To be honest, I didn’t thank him at all for the last chance to meet Yu.”

"Her coffin is not big, but it is also considered brilliant. It's just that her appearance makes me hardly recognize what she used to be. The black eyes, the sunken cheeks, and the abuse marks on the neck, I know, she must be It was a painful life. I didn't cry, I didn't break down, I didn't even know how I left the Prince's Mansion, I just knew that the snow was extremely cold that day."

Gao Shan heard Jiao Tianao's murmur, her heart suddenly retracted, she looked at the snow outside the window, and a darkness suddenly rushed towards her, making her afraid for no reason.

"So, you killed everyone related to her?" Gao Shan asked.

Jiao Tianao looked at her and frowned slightly on his left eyebrow, as if laughing at her question just now.

"Ha, Takasugi, if that person was Yin Xi, what would you do? I believe that you will be like me."

Gao Shan was taken aback, but felt a chill down her spine, she had never thought about such a thing.However, Yin Xi is the only ray of light in her life, and she will never allow anyone to tarnish and infect her.If the person Jiao Tianao was talking about was Xi, then, even if she was a god in the sky, she would do her best to destroy everyone who was stained with her own light.

The ruthlessness flashed in Gao Shan's eyes, which made Jiao Tianao smile. He bought himself a cup of tea, then took a sip, looked at the residue floating in the teacup, and said leisurely.

"Yes, I assisted Yin Ran who was not favored by anyone, because I knew that this prince who seemed not to be noticed by anyone, his methods and cruelty were not inferior to his half-brother, the prince. , Yin Qi. Yin Ran wanted to be the emperor, and even strangled to death his younger brother who had no competition with him, and planted it on the son of one of the four concubines, Concubine De, successfully destroying a competitor. You see, The sons of the first emperor, one is 'excellent' than the other, isn't Hao Guo's fate in the hands of both of them the same?"

"Master Mu, you also killed him?"

Jiao Tianao looked at Gao Shan, with an evil look on his obviously old face.

"Yes, but I didn't kill him, he died in a fit of anger."

"So, what about Old Man Jiao?"

Jiao Tianao frowned at first, not knowing who she was asking, but then he thought about it, the surname Jiao is a special surname, the person Gao Shan will mention can only be one person, and that is Yin Jiao.

"He left by himself, didn't he?"

Jiao Tianao smiled, from his tone, Gao Shan couldn't tell that he was lying, but felt strange.If it is guilt, it is understandable for Jiao Lao to leave, but judging from how she has been with Jiao Lao for so long, it seems that she does not want such a thing.

"Then why do you say that I am the 'ordainer'? What you did is against God's will."

Takasugi's sentence is not like a question, but more like an affirmative sentence.From the very beginning, this person came to him and asked him to assist Xi Shi. What was his purpose?

"Yes, I did violate God's will. Because the first thing Yin Ran did when he took office was to kill Yin Qi and all the people in his mansion. The emperor appointed by Hao Guo was changed by me. .”

Jiao Tianao said it lightly, as if this is not a big deal.He sat up a little and straightened his body, then tied up his long hair, and restored the image of the 'National Teacher'.

"I know my mistakes, and I know that God is punishing me, which made me what I am now. Now, the only thing I can do, and must do, is to assist Yin Xi to ascend the throne. She can change the state of Hao. Destiny will bring Hao Guo's original path back on track. And you are the only one who can help her."

Gao Shan didn't ask why, God's will, who can tell the reason.The only thing Gao Shan is more concerned about now is Jiao Tianao's attitude, why is he telling himself these things?If the person who knew his secret was either dead or disappeared in the eyes of the world.So today, why did he tell himself these things?

"You will do everything for Yin Xi, right?"

Jiao Tianao turned his head slightly and asked, Gao Shan looked at his expression, and felt that there was something missing?

"What do you want me to do?"

"Oh, it's okay, don't be so nervous, I don't need you to do anything now, I just want you to know my story, these things are backlogged in my body, it's very uncomfortable."

Gao Shan said nothing, just stared at Jiao Tianao blankly, his expression lagging behind for a moment.She shook her head, then stood up, ready to leave.This place made her depressed for no reason, maybe that story reminded her of Xi, or maybe it was Jiao Tianao's sudden change of appearance that made her unable to adapt, Gaoshan now just wants to go out to bask in the sun.

"Sorry, you are the only one I can trust. You and I don't belong to this world, but we all came to this world. I hope you can come again."

Standing at the door, Gao Shan heard the voice behind him, turned his head, and saw Jiao Tianao smiling weakly at him.Today's topic seems to be a bit heavy, Gao Shan boasted that his heart has been smoothed for a long time, and he will not easily have emotional fluctuations, but he is also inexplicably moved by Jiao Tianao.

"it is good."

After Gao Shan left, there would be no days for Xi. In this palace, it seemed that the only thing left was to chat with this person.

After crossing the Baihu Pavilion and the Imperial Dining Room, Gao Shan didn't want to go back to the Jinhua Palace, so he walked slowly to the palace where Xi used to live.Not long ago, they came back to this place slowly. It was the night when she was inexplicably controlled, and it also let her know that Yin Xi's environment was already surrounded by ambushes.

Looking at the unguarded gate, Gao Shan didn't dare to go in blatantly. There are still different eyes hidden in this palace. She doesn't want, and doesn't want, to cause trouble.

Lifting her feet to leave, she was about to walk towards the Imperial Hospital. After walking through the Royal Garden for a while, when she was about to arrive at the Gongyuan, Gao Shan heard a familiar voice.

"Brother Li, you and I are colleagues, why should you be so polite? I, a certain class of me, can't speak, and I was an official in the same dynasty, but I couldn't make friends. It's rare that Brother Li is free today, why don't you have a few drinks with me? But my depression."

Gao Shan stopped and looked at the two people walking not far away. It turned out to be Li Da who hadn't seen him for a long time. Beside him was a person she was familiar with but not familiar with, Fang Shi.What is the purpose of this man looking for Ada?

"Master Fang, it's not that Li doesn't want to, but because there is really something at home today, and I need to go back urgently. I hope Lord Fang will forgive me."

"Hey, brother Li is really out of touch. I called you brother Li, but you called me Mr. Fang. It's too out of touch. Why don't you call me a brother?"

Before Li Da refused, Fang Shi continued.

"Since Brother Li has something to do today, I won't force him to stay. If there is a chance in the future, I hope Brother Li will stop making excuses.

"

Li Da repeatedly nodded and said yes, but he wondered in his heart why the second place Fang Shi suddenly got close to him.He is poor and has no background, what can he look up to, Li Da said nothing, but thought about it in his mind.

When passing by Gao Shan, Li Da paused for a moment, seeing this little maid who came from nowhere and saluted slightly, an inexplicable familiarity made him feel strange, and he couldn't help but look at this person a few more times.Fang Shi saw Li Da glance aside, and when he saw this maid, his eyes were startled.

'This court lady is not simple. '

Li Da shook off all the random thoughts in his head, bid farewell to Fang Shi, and rushed away. Now he was going to see two important people, one was Lin Tai, and the other was General Fan.

Seeing the two separated, Gao Shan also quickened his pace to leave, and Fang Shi only squinted his eyes to see where she left.The figure of this court lady is somewhat familiar, he seems to have seen it somewhere.Fang Shi thought about it carefully, but thought of a person, and quickly dismissed the idea, if it was the eldest son-in-law, why did he dress up like this.Moreover, the market left a message that the son-in-law had been missing for a long time, according to the princess's reaction, it was not true.So, who was that person just now?

Fang Shi touched his chin, after Gao Shan turned an arch, he caught a glimpse of Fang Shi behind him staring at him, when he saw the skirt of his inner coat exposed by raising his hand, he was slightly taken aback, and then walked away quickly.Fang Shi was thinking about things, so he naturally didn't notice Gao Shan's scrutiny and the change in the depths of his eyes.Seeing Gao Shan walking away, he also flicked his sleeves and walked back.After walking through the deserted place, he raised his hand and whistled, listening to the slight sound in his ear.

"Check that maid."

There was no response, and the surroundings were silent, only the slight rustling of the branches and leaves, and soon, it became quiet again.

The author has something to say: Takasugi: Another day when I can’t stay with the princess
