Chapter 262: Cloud and mist
Before Liang Huan crossed the threshold, the person on the dragon chair looked up.
For some reason, whenever he came to Tai Chi Hall, he would always be found staring at the door. Liang Huan frowned, as if he had been waiting for someone.
Cui Hao held Yao Pan and Yuan Zhi and stepped aside.
Liang Huan walked a few steps away and stopped to salute. When he straightened up, he asked: "I wonder why your Majesty summoned my concubine?"
She kept her eyes lowered, not looking at him.
Gao Qian glanced at her face, coldly.
Since that day, her attitude has been almost the same as before, except for the proper etiquette.
It's easy to ignite his anger.
Gao Qian looked at her again, curled his lips and smiled coldly. After all, he was stubborn with him. He really thought he would not do anything to her now——
"Yuan Zhi, send the newly made incense to the Lord."
Liang Han tilted his head to the side and gave a calm order.
Yuan Zhi stepped forward, but saw Gao Qian's cold eyes coming over, stopped and looked at Liang Han.
Liang Huan was unaware, but seemed to have expected it: "I'll do it."
Yuan Zhi quietly raised her eyes and glanced at the high seat, maybe Concubine Shu was favored. Not without reason.
From beginning to end, she obviously didn't see anything, but she knew everything.
Liang Huan took the Yao plate from Yuan Zhi and walked straight towards the person on the main seat.
Gao Qian looked at him calmly.
The white cheeks and slightly drooped eyelashes look so obedient. Only he knows what kind of stubborn soul resides under this soft and delicate body.
It’s something that people both love and hate.
The more he looked at it, the more irritated he became.
"Liang Huan."
"Huh?"
She put down the Yao plate and naturally knelt down opposite him. She didn't look at him, but lowered her head and concentrated on the silk ribbon. , slender fingers gently smoothed the black silk knot, which looked very beautiful.
"Don't rush it, it will be ready soon. This is a new one. I was wearing the one before and it always felt a little weird when I looked at it."
She explained and sorted it out.
He didn't even raise his head, just staring at the things in his hands. He didn't even realize that it was disrespectful to talk to the emperor like this, but for no reason, the irritability in his heart disappeared.
Gao Qian watched and waited quietly.
Just like every time he waited for her in Tai Chi Hall, no matter what he did or where he stayed, she could always find him and accompany him.
Gao Qian was slightly absent-minded.
She quickly packed it up and raised her eyes again: "Can I help your majesty put it on?"
Returned to being respectful and polite, not as casual as before.
Gao Qian just nodded and looked away.
With his permission, Liang Huan stepped forward and took off the jade pendant he was wearing around his waist.
It looks like a jade pendant, but it actually contains a secret.
Gao Qian sat up straight. She fastened the jade pendant very gently, and her scent filled her nose. In fact, he couldn't tell whose scent it was. After all, hers was the same as his.
His eyes accidentally glanced at a place, and a figure with a bowed head and waist came into his eyes.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. She must have served Cui Hao and Lu Xiu like this in the past.
Even more will be done.
She can make Lu Xiu so obsessed, she must be giving him what she has always asked for——
The inexplicable irritation that surged up was even worse than before.
The fire in Gao Qian's heart is getting stronger and stronger. Is she willing just because Lu Xiu saved her on the street?
He lowered his head and pinched her wrist.
No matter what happened in the past, in the future...
"Your Majesty?" The man who buried his head raised his eyes in surprise, his eyes moist and bright.
Gao Qian looked into her eyes with a hint of hesitation: "If you come to Tai Chi Hall that day, I will promise you immediately, right?" Liang Huan was stunned for a long time before she realized what he was talking about.
She smiled, lowered her head, and continued to tie the jade pendant for him, her voice very soft.
"No one should help anyone. It is lucky to meet someone who is willing to help, and it is normal to meet someone who refuses to help. After all, no one owes anyone anything."
Liang Huan said After finishing, he fastened the jade pendant, put away the jade pendant, handed it to Yuan Zhi who was waiting aside, and stepped away again.
Between them, it was never about whether they provided help that day, but about all the insults and injuries that followed.
Gao Qian said nothing, and his expression was the same as usual. The question just now was really unlike him.
The atmosphere is a bit dull.
Liang Huan asked at the right time: "Why did your Majesty call me here?"
Gao Qian suddenly came back to his senses, leaning back slightly, with a gloomy look on his eyebrows. He pointed at several boxes with exquisite workmanship and precious materials placed in the hall.
"Concubine Shu is pregnant. Those are the congratulatory gifts from Lord Zhou."
Liang Huan was startled and looked back.
She saw it as soon as she entered the palace and didn't take it seriously. Who would have thought that it was given to her by Northern Zhou Dynasty.
I gave her so many treasures in Tongli Town that day because I was grateful for the city defense map of Pingzhou City.
Now, this has no beginning and no end, why should I give her a gift?
Liang Huan's heart trembled. Could it be that they knew that the child was Lu Xiu's and still planned to let the child...
Impossible.
Bei Zhou did not know how long she was pregnant.
Liang Huan slowed down and looked at Gao Qian again: "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding? No reward for no merit, I dare not accept this gift casually."
Gao Qian Qian was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked towards several boxes: "It was written by Zhou Jun himself. There is no possibility of misunderstanding."
Liang Huan gritted his teeth and looked at it, his heart beating like a drum. He should not think that he had become a masterpiece of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
But where did Gao Qian dig up the body with the sachet and hair bundle?
If it were in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, wouldn't she also be suspected?
Probably not.
Liang Huan calmed down and could not get into chaos before he understood the situation.
Just as he was sorting out his thoughts, he listened to Gao Qian's words.
"I guess they just found a random excuse."
Liang Huan woke up and ordered Gao Qian to open the box. The moment the box was opened, there was a sound of gasping. Indeed, Full of gold and silver treasures.
Although he is a high-potential person, he is also surprised.
Such a generous act is really arrogant.
Liang Huan was even more panicked. They were afraid that others wouldn't know. Has she contacted them?
She pursed her lips and could only follow Gao Qian's words.
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty know why they want to find an excuse?"
Gao Qian turned around and nodded slightly: "I don't know, Concubine Shu, but the reason why the Northern Zhou Dynasty retreated its troops may be related to the civil strife."
Liang Huan frowned: "Civil strife?"
Gao Qian thought for a while and said: "The new king of the Northern Zhou Dynasty ascended the throne, but in fact the emperor has always been in power behind the scenes. However, I recently received news that the emperor is lingering on the bed and will die soon. The new king is weak and may not be able to compete with the Duke of Jin. Yu Wenke is trying to counteract this. If we take advantage of the chaos and send out troops at this moment, they will definitely have no time to take care of it.” A few words were scrawled.
Liang Wei probed: "Will your Majesty send troops?"
Gao Qian glanced at her: "Of course not, Gu's top priority now is-"
Liang Huan understood and wanted to get rid of the Queen Mother's control as soon as possible.
As expected, not to mention his disapproval, who among the civil and military officials in the dynasty would agree?
Liang Huan still felt that something was wrong. When the two parties were fighting, the Qi army was already at a disadvantage. The Northern Zhou army was strong, so there was really no need to do this.
"Will the Zhou Dynasty change?"
Gao Qian raised his eyebrows unconsciously and looked at her: "If the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty returns to the west, and Lord Zhou faces Yu Wenke alone, the throne will be in danger, but King Yu Wenjue of Qi, who had been recovering from illness in Yin Yue Mansion, suddenly returned to Luo'an. It is said that the emperor had cultivated a secret force for Zhou Jun for many years. In this case, it is difficult to say. "
The second update is here~
