The seventh princess insists on letting me eat soft rice

Hearing this, the old emperor suddenly felt soft-hearted. On the one hand, Gao Jingxi was weeping sadly, and on the other was Gao Lanyin, whose life and death were unknown. Her motherly kindness, which seldom occurred, was also hooked out under this situation.

"Hurry up, Jin'er, Xi'er, and the Queen, follow me over to have a look, Imperial Doctor Xuan is here!"

Two court ladies had come over to support the old emperor, and walked towards the east side hall.Gao Jingxi got up and grabbed Lian Liejin, and hurriedly followed beside the queen.

Compared with the main hall, the rooms in the east hall are much smaller, and the inside is a mess, with all the tables, chairs, cups and cups poured on the ground, countless pieces of porcelain glistening in the sunlight.

On the beam in the center of the room, hung a piece of broken white brocade, which seemed to be the "rope" used by Gao Lanyin to hang himself.

In the inner room, Gao Lan was lying on the bed because he was rescued.I saw her eyes closed tightly, and a red mark on her fair neck seemed a little shocking.

The queen stepped over, hugged Gao Lanyin, and wept softly.The emperor frowned even more, and asked loudly where the imperial doctor was.

Seeing this, Gao Jingxi hastily made room for the imperial doctor who had just arrived, and retreated to the side with Lian Liejin.

"Fortunately, she was rescued in time, otherwise His Highness Jiu's life would be lost," the old imperial doctor with white beard knelt tremblingly and replied, "It's just Your Highness Ninth, she is weak, if she doesn't take good care of her, I'm afraid... The fetus in the womb is not guaranteed."

"That's not right, I just don't want that evil species." Seeing that Gao Lan was fine, the emperor let out a sigh of relief, "Since that's the case, I have fulfilled my wish, you just need to keep Lan'er alive."

"Your Majesty, with the physique of His Highness the Ninth Prince, if this child is lost, it will be difficult to conceive another child..."

"Your Majesty, I beg you not to treat Lan'er like this," the queen slid down from the edge of the bed, and finally knelt down at the emperor's feet exhausted, "You might as well demote her to a commoner if you send her to be married."

"This is her fate as a princess. She has enjoyed all the glory and wealth. Now that the country needs her, she should sacrifice herself. If it is because of this, a war can be avoided. Give me some more time, three to five years later "The emperor took a meaningful look at Lian Liejin, and a frenzied look flashed in the depths of his eyes, "No, in just two years, I will be able to flatten Ross and bring our Lan'er back in person. "

"Your Majesty, when did you become so cruel? Naluozi is a land of barbarians, who live on horseback all day long and don't respect human relations and etiquette. The concubines heard that their majesty married his younger brother's wife. …”

While the emperor and the empress were arguing, Gao Jingxi, who had been silent all the time, glanced at the person sleeping on the bed in response, just in time to see Gao Lanyin wink at herself and Lian Liejin mischievously.

Speaking of the excitement, the old emperor coughed so much that he could hardly stand upright, and it was the queen who helped her out of the side hall.

Taking advantage of the empress's intentional quarrel with the emperor, which caused the emperor to ignore them for the time being, Gao Jingxi sat on the side of the bed with a solemn face, and said lightly:

"Okay, stop pretending. I sent someone to deliver a letter to you last night, not to make you stir up trouble and everyone knows that you are looking for death and life."

"If it weren't for this, we don't know when we will meet again. Sister, brother-in-law, the Queen Mother is really going crazy now. She almost killed Luo Qian'er last time. If the Queen Mother didn't intercede for us two. You When I come back twice, I can only see a joint burial tomb."

"You shouldn't be buried in one place, right?" The white cloth in Lian Liejin's eyes fluttered slightly as she lowered her head, responding to the puzzled look on her face, "Your Majesty will not let you There is a chance to be together again."

"Brother-in-law! Why do you say that too?" Gao Lan felt a little bit of peace of mind because of the arrival of the two of them just now, and felt a prickly pain. marry someone else."

"Well, your sister and I understand the heart of the ninth sister." Lian Liejin accurately found Gao Jingxi's hand and patted it, alleviating the worry of the seventh princess. "It's just that Luo Qian'er is being locked up at the bottom of the dungeon, so it's quite a hassle to find her."

"Brother-in-law, did you even find out about this?" Gao Lan was so moved that her eyes were full of tears, she sat up straight away, looked at Lian Liejin with burning eyes, and praised: "As expected of my brother-in-law. But, brother-in-law, your eyes, I heard people in the palace say, you ruined your eyes, can't you restore them?"

Hearing this, Lian Liejin smiled shyly, "It's your sister who taught me well." However, she avoided answering Gao Lanyin's question.

"That's that, my sister has always been very smart and resourceful. With my sister around, I'm not afraid." Gao Lanyin carefully observed Lian Liejin's expression, but found that her brother-in-law didn't seem to have lost his eyes because of him. , and half depressed, and even in her actions, it is impossible to detect that she is a blind person.

"Hehe, is that so?" Gao Jingxi snorted coldly, first hooked Lian Liejin's palm lightly, and leaned into this man's ear and sighed in a low voice:

"Praise Ben Gong so much, do you think Ben Gong is not strong enough at night?"

"Well, Your Highness, I really mean it." Lian Liejin didn't know that the Seventh Princess made up her mind to let her have a long memory, not to mention torturing her every night, and just called it a competition to study her own temper.

"You two, please pay attention, one of you is injured in front of you, and the other is locked in the prison. Why are you whispering like no one else?"

"Lan'er, I told you to treat her well." Gao Jingxi looked cold, shook her head and said:

"That's what you do? How do you end up with a baby?"

"But, sister," Gao Lan said slowly, holding the corner of the quilt because of her aggrieved expression:

"I am very good to Luo Qian'er. I will give her whatever she wants. I will definitely give birth to this child, and then treat the child very well. I will not let the child leave me."

"Lan'er, have you ever thought about her? You may keep her safe. Sister understands how you spent less time with us when you were a child." Gao Jingxi took out the wind-dispelling jade star ointment left by the imperial doctor just now , gently wiped on Gao Lanyin's scars, "However, keeping the child and Luo Qian'er safe is not just following their wishes."

Gao Lan bowed her head thoughtfully, and after a long time, she murmured:

"What my sister said is very true. It was Lan'er who took it for granted that His Majesty would let me, an unfavored princess, go. Unexpectedly, members of our royal family could not escape the fate of becoming pawns. The only difference is whose pawn is it. That's all."

Seeing Gao Lanyin's eyes as bright as black grapes, with a sad expression, Gao Jingxi couldn't bear it, stretched out her hand to hold Gao Lanyin in her arms, and patted her on the back, "If you If you don’t want to, no one can force you to do anything, not even His Majesty.”

Gao Jingxi's quiet and firm words touched the hearts of the two of them carefully.Lian Liejin only felt that everything was clear, as if a breeze from the field was blowing in her heart, which made her understand almost everything.

The eunuch's extremely high-pitched voice interrupted the brief meeting of the three people in the room, "Your Majesty's dragon body is not in good health, and this old slave is passing the message on his behalf, and I also invite the Seventh Consort to ask for your Majesty's safety pulse twice on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. The seventh princess and her son-in-law are exhausted, so it is best to rest at the princess mansion for a few days."

"Praying for peace of mind is the responsibility of the imperial physician. Your Majesty may be inappropriate to let the son-in-law perform the duties." Gao Jingxi still had a decent and generous smile on his face, but he recalled the countless things he saw in the Changsheng Terrace in his mind. The face of Mrs. Yan Guogong was full of doubts about the old emperor's intentions.

"Your Majesty the Seventh Prince, look at what you said. Your Majesty and the Seventh Son-in-law are also a family. There is nothing to hide from this family. Besides, His Royal Highness has been serving His Majesty day and night recently, and almost fell ill. It should be It's time for you two to be filial."

Sensing Gao Jingxi's faint uneasiness and anger, Lian Liejin hurriedly got up to stand in front of Gao Jingxi, and replied to the eunuch:

"Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law. Please take this small amount of money to go to the theater and drink tea."

A stack of bank notes quickly disappeared in the eunuch's sleeve, and he cleared his throat and said in a low voice:

"The Fifth Highness originally suggested that both of you stay in the palace to serve His Majesty. Fortunately, something happened to His Majesty Ninth. His Majesty was worried that if you two stayed in the palace, it would be bad for His Majesty the Ninth Highness." Influenced, there is no consent."

Hearing the meaning of the eunuch's words, Gao Jingxi stood up with a smile, and walked slowly to the gate of the palace with Lian Liejin, "May I ask when your father-in-law entered the palace?"

"Thanks to His Majesty's concern, the young one has been in the palace for 15 years. It just so happened that several young eunuchs around His Majesty didn't take good care of them and were kicked out. Only then did the servants have a bright future."

"That's great," Gao Jingxi said with a smile on his lips, "In the future, I hope my father-in-law will take good care of me and my son-in-law."

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince is serious, everything is easy to talk about."

The door of the east side hall was slowly closed, and Gao Lan was locked in this resplendent cage like a trapped little animal. Bowls of black concoction were brought to her bed in a steady stream... ...

"These eunuchs and court ladies are often the most intelligent eyes and ears in the palace. If you want to buy them off, you can only buy them for a while with money alone. I believe that Gao Qing must have given him money, but it's a pity..." Gao Jingxi Talked to Lian Liejin quite thoughtfully.

"What a pity?"

Just as the Seventh Princess stopped being excited, Lian Liejin's delicate face naturally had a somewhat confused look.This scene fell in Gao Jingxi's eyes, making her feel a little bit of secret pleasure in her heart.

"Of course it's a pity. The high-definition palace is not as rich as a single-handed man. My husband is really well-managed and spends a lot of money."

Maintaining the smile on his face, Lian Liejin whispered to Gao Jingxi secretly:

"Is there anything His Highness can do about the Ninth Sister?"

Gao Jingxi pulled Lian Liejin away from Changchun Palace quickly, walked on the empty palace road, and then replied nonchalantly:

"For now...no."

Lian Liejin: "..." She thought that there was some good way for Seventh Princess to pull her so mysteriously.

In spring, the palace should be full of flowers, but the wind blows the willows, leaving only a faint lonely shadow.Gao Jingxi turned around and looked back with a sense of emotion, only feeling the shady coolness exuding the air of decay rushing towards her face, and she couldn't help but sighed a few times in the suffocating.

The two left the palace in a hurry, and when they saw the queen, they didn't say a single word except to salute and greet.

The princess mansion is preparing the court clothes for Gao Jingxi, who will go to court tomorrow, and Ayou is nervously gesturing on Gao Jingxi with the light scarlet court dress.

Lian Liejin was leaning on the soft chair beside him, nibbling freshly baked melon seeds, "It will be fifteen in ten days, Your Majesty won't really want me to be a blind man to see a doctor for her?"

"Seeing a doctor is fake," Gao Jingxi paused, waving her hand to let Ayou back out, "You are what she is interested in, otherwise why would she send someone to follow you and almost capture you alive. The Changsheng Terrace was captured by us After being destroyed, the empress's body will deteriorate day by day."

"Speaking of this, the Star Medicine Sect has escaped a catastrophe if the people His Majesty sent to follow me didn't find out. Otherwise, the charges of selling fake and banned drugs would be enough to make the Star Medicine Sect disappear. I Those senior brothers and sisters who are here are doomed to die." Lian Liejin grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them to the Seventh Princess, and the two started nibbling at the same time.

After a long time, Lian Liejin looked serious, and he obviously thought about what he said, "Your Majesty doesn't know the power of the shadows, otherwise he would have arrested me long ago. The people of the Shadow Clan are more inclusive in their control of power. Your Majesty is very It may be that by creating a body similar to my mother and mine, I can transmit the power of the stars to prolong her life."

Recalling the emperor's recent appearance, Gao Jingxi couldn't help being afraid for a while. The theory of renewing his life is a perverse thing. It destroys people's temperament and changes people's personality. It is an extremely sinister thing——

Absorbing the power of other people's stars is tantamount to killing someone's life.

From this point of view, it is even more impossible for the concubine Lian who suggested to the emperor to build the Changsheng Terrace to be a simple person.

"Now Lan Geng has powerful enemies outside, and a concubine who is seductive inside. Your Majesty, she...is like that again. Internal troubles and external troubles, nothing more than that," Gao Jingxi said, although it sounded rather despondent, But her face was firm, with a faint gleam in her eyes all the time, "According to the spies' report, HD's son-in-law is about to return to Changyong City, and I heard that a lot of precious spices were exchanged in Luozi... ...No one dared to check the trucks that came back from the border. Since Gao Hu's death, Gao Gao has now taken all of his people for his own use."

"His Royal Highness's intelligence network really lives up to its reputation, so many brothels and restaurants are really not for nothing." Lian Liejin smiled knowingly after receiving the meaning of the seventh princess's words, "When the fifth son-in-law enters the city, I will find out what is in her gourd. What kind of medicine are they selling?"

"Yeah, your Yidaoju has cooperated a lot with the oirans in the brothels under my name." Gao Jingxi leaned against Lian Liejin, and silently lamented like those oirans in the brothels, "Unfortunately, Guanxie The doctor has always been a dragon who sees the beginning but does not see the end, so it is very hard for me to wait for the sisters to find."

"Your Highness, that..." Lian Liejin's heart was full of alarms, and he hurriedly got up and prepared to flee the scene, "I heard the bad water calling, it must be hungry. Hey, I'm going to prepare some cat food for it."

"Run faster," Gao Jingxi watched as the girl in black clothes ran out like a gust of wind, she gently stroked her belly, her eyes were as gentle as spring breeze turning into rain.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky began to drizzle, and the rain hit the green leaves in the courtyard, making a pattering sound.Lian Liejin sat in the carriage, leaning on Gao Jingxi's shoulder, drowsy——

Seventh Princess will take her with her wherever she goes now, even if she goes to court, she has to wait for Gao Jingxi in the carriage.

"Without my permission, you can't trespass into the prison. As for Luo Qian'er, I have already said hello, at least you can eat meat for every meal."

"Your Highness, am I the kind of impulsive person?" Lian Liejin muttered with some grievances: "After you get out of the car, walk slowly, and don't flash the knife."

Hearing this, Gao Jingxi's face was as red as the light crimson court dress she was wearing, remembering that she almost got pregnant last night because of catching Lian Liejin, she quickly nodded obediently, "This is not the first time she is pregnant. The palace is not used to it yet."

Ayou, who was driving, reminded the two people in the carriage at the right time, "Your Highness, the son-in-law, have already arrived outside the palace gate."

Lian Liejin deliberately lifted the curtain of the car and inhaled lightly, and said loudly:

"Your Highness, you have to come back early, I will wait for you in the carriage."

"You only have two hours." Gao Jingxi's voice was extremely low, she straightened her clothes, the faint smile disappeared from her lips, got out of the carriage with a solemn expression, and walked slowly towards the Yizheng Hall.

After Gao Jingxi's figure disappeared, Lian Liejin lowered her head and sighed, making it impossible to see her face, "Ah Yo, I'm a little hungry, and I want to eat Chengdong Wangji's beef noodles."

"Uh, this..." Ayou was in trouble, and she also lowered her head and hesitated for a while before saying:

"Then ask the son-in-law to wait in the carriage, and the servants will come as soon as they go."

The east of the city happened to be the residence of the fifth princess, and Lian Liejin sniffed the fragrance of rain-beaten green leaves in the air, and her expression became calm.

On the glazed tiles of the high wall of the palace, a group of gray and white pigeons fluttered their wings, watching the 99-level white marble staircase in front of the Yizheng Hall without moving.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince is now participating in the deliberations of the Ministry of War as soon as he comes to court. The future is boundless." The minister who had already had that exquisite mind came over to welcome him.

Gao Jingxi smiled like a spring breeze, with a faint noble brilliance lingering in the corners of her eyes, she dealt with all kinds of people in a moderate manner.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch's sharp voice echoed in the hall for a long time, stopping everyone's whispers.

In the Palace of Political Affairs, the current Holy Majesty walked out slowly from the back of the hall. Even the bright yellow dragon robe could not conceal her aging face. She slowly sat on the dragon chair, her cold and suspicious eyes carefully swept over everyone in the hall .

After the ministers knelt down and shouted long live, the emperor did not say anything about his body, but said angrily:

"Recently, I have heard that Cui Minshu, the general of the Zhonglang stationed in the Chiduo Army in the north, has repeatedly scolded me, Lan Geng, because of his military merits, and even said that the country is not a country, and people are not people. I want to kill a rebellious person, and then quickly."

"Your Majesty is wise, and my son has heard about it. This Cui Minshu has some credit for himself, so he looks down on no one," the fifth emperor stood in the crowd, and was the first to echo, with a barely detectable mocking smile on her lips.

As soon as this remark came out, several ministers echoed it, saying that those who have no ruler and ministers are really moths of the country, and they should be killed.

"Do you have any objections?" The emperor looked at Gao Gao approvingly, with kindness in the corner of his eyes, "Qing'er really has won my heart. After a while, I will retire from the court and have two rounds of discussions with me."

This Cui Minshu was the No. [-] martial artist ten years ago. Because of his ordinary family background, he has the ability to fight well. After so many years, he is just a mere general.What is rare is that the blood in his heart is not cold, and he still cares about the world.

Such titans must not be killed.Gao Jingxi took a step forward, and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, I believe that this Cui Minshu is not only not to be killed, but should be rewarded, and should be rewarded heavily."
