Chapter 555: Secretly Visiting Chencang
The next day, Lu Wanying sat on a cart and headed to Yuetai Temple, thirty miles away.
When she left the city, she lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
The afternoon sun is so warm, if not for the vast expanse of white everywhere you look, you might mistake this brightness for spring.
She closed her eyes and smiled.
Suddenly, the horse neighed, and someone was riding a horse across the middle of the road.
The guard drew his sword and stepped forward.
The visitor looked calm and did not show any fear.
He jumped off the horse, took out his token, and walked directly to the cart.
In the stone boat of Liuhua Garden, Liang Huan and Wang Gaohuan of Yongan were cooking wine with green plums and barbecued meat with pine branches.
The red charcoal is so hot that the venison roasted on the small stove is golden and crispy, and the fat on the charcoal sizzles. The entire stone boat is filled with the unique aroma of barbecue, making people salivate.
Jinlan sat on her knees, holding the wine pot, and filled another cup.
Liang Huan picked up the wine cup and said with deep meaning in his eyes: "I would like to give a toast to King Yong'an. From now on in this imperial city, the only person we orphans and widowed mothers can rely on is the emperor's brother."
Gao Huan picked up the cup and said solemnly: "Loyalty to the emperor and protection of the master are the duties of ministers."
Liang Huan raised his hand, covered his face with his sleeves, and drank the first cup.
She put down the cup and sighed: "However, people in the world are unpredictable. If everyone can be like King Yong'an, Emperor Yutong will not be walking on thin ice in the court..."
After that, he lowered his head and wiped it. Wipe the moist corners of your eyes.
Gao Huan had bright eyes and spoke a few words of comfort at the right time.
Liang Han nodded with red eyes, and sighed with shame: "I am rude, King Yong'an should not be offended."
Looking up again, the conversation changed: "That day the army When I went out to fight, I watched from a distance. King Ande was dressed in armor and looked heroic, somewhat like King Yongan. "
When Gao Yongsheng was mentioned, Gao Huan sighed slightly, with a gentle and gentle smile on his face.
“After all, he is still young, energetic and inexperienced. This time the Queen Mother and the Lord are willing to let him lead the troops to face the enemy. For him, it is also a good opportunity to hone his skills. I only hope that he can be loyal to the best of his ability. Be honest and live up to the expectations of the Queen Mother and the Lord."
There was a hint of imperceptible pride on his modest and solemn face.
Liang Huan smiled: "With King Yong'an here, there will be no problem."
Ande King Gao Yongsheng, who went on the expedition with Hulu Qiguang this time, is Gao Huan's Nephew.
His brother Gao Ze, a compatriot from his mother, died early, and Gao Yongsheng can be said to have been raised by Gao Huan.
After two or three glasses of wine, the content of the conversation is no longer just superficial.
Liang Huan suddenly spoke, meaning: "I haven't seen King Nanyang for a few days. I heard that he fell off his horse and injured his leg. I wonder if he is feeling better."
Gao Huan replied. He said: "I went to visit you two days ago. The injury was a bit serious. One leg can hardly move. It may be disabled."
Liang Huan was surprised: "It's so serious?"
< br>
Gao Huan responded and glanced at the door as if unintentionally. On the surface, he looked calm, but there was only a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
Liang Huan understood.
It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.
She lowered her eyes, her heart beating rapidly.
Coincidentally, a chamberlain came in and reported: "The Queen Mother, King Changguang wants to see you."
Liang Huan and Gao Huan exchanged hurried glances.
Their meeting was a very secret matter.
Liang Huan withdrew his gaze and said to Jin Lan beside him: "Go and find a reason to send this person away——"
"The Queen Mother," Gao Huan frowned and spoke to stop her, Very puzzled. How can I send someone away after finally waiting for him?
Liang Huan smiled faintly: "There is a word called "rejection but welcome."
Gao Huan was stunned for a moment when he touched those smiling eyes, and then nodded with a smile.
Jinlan bowed and exited.
Gao Huan smiled meaningfully: "My seventh brother, I have always been very suspicious."
Liang Huan pursed her lips, she still understood what Gao Hao was like. of.
According to a report from a spy, after knowing that the Queen Mother had left the palace, some people thought that she was going to have a private meeting with Prince Changguang. They sent people to watch outside Prince Changguang's palace for a day, but nothing happened.
However, the matter was not settled. There were rumors that on the same day, someone saw a woman who resembled the Queen Mother near the Yong'an Palace.
The most bizarre thing is that some people say that King Yongan personally saw off a mysterious woman at the back door of the palace.
What's more, it is said that the reason why the former Shangshu Ling Lu Xu was accidentally killed in the street was because he accidentally broke into a royal secret, and was killed and silenced by the most powerful person.
Shang Shuling is already a powerful person and can be ruthless, how could he really be just a handyman?
When people talk about King Yong'an again, they keep it secret.
So, I don’t know when, besides King Changguang, there was another person who was rumored to have an ambiguous relationship with the Queen Mother: King Yongan.
The rumors seem to be getting more and more obvious as the past is recounted.
Why did Lu Xu die mysteriously and the Dali Temple case was settled hastily?
The most obvious thing is that during the winter hunting, it was reported that the Queen Mother was having an affair with King Changguang. King Yongan was clearly banned in the palace, but he still sent people to deliver special bows and arrows to the Queen Mother. Later, on the way back, Encountering assassins, among so many people, only King Chang Guang was injured. Although it was just a scratch on his skin, it was enough to arouse people's imagination.
Even if he didn't inquire deliberately, Liang Huan knew that those so-called secrets must be told with both nose and eyes.
She sighed sadly: "I have also heard some news. After all, it has caused trouble to King Yong'an."
Gao Huanhun didn't care: "I don't care, I'm just too tired. The reputation of the Queen Mother has been damaged because of the sinister intentions of the rumormonger."
"Who said otherwise?" Liang Huan took a look and sneered in her heart.
If Nanyang Wang Gaojun hadn't broken a leg, just looking at his appearance, I would have thought he was tolerant and generous.
I just pity Gao Jun——
In a few words, someone broke in from the outside regardless of the obstruction of the palace servants.
Suddenly seeing Gao Huan, Gao Hao's face changed and his smile could not reach his eyes.
"I thought the Queen Mother had a secret meeting with some important person, and it turned out to be the Emperor's brother."
Gao Huan just frowned and said nothing.
Jinlan wanted to persuade her again, but Gao Hao stretched out his arm and easily pushed her aside.
He glanced at the fine wine and delicacies on the table again, chuckled, and stared straight at Liang Han with cold eyes.
“If I hadn’t forced my way in today, I wouldn’t have known that the Queen Mother was so unfaithful to one!”
King Changguang was so presumptuous that all the servants in the palace turned pale and lowered their heads. .
Jinlan glanced at Liang Huan's face and knelt down to plead guilty: "I am a useless servant who failed to stop His Royal Highness Prince Changguang. Please beg the Queen Mother to punish you."
When Jinlan knelt down, the others followed suit.
At this point, Liang Huan did not look at Gao Hao who was standing in front of the people, and only waved to Jinlan.
"Okay, you all can go down."
Gao Hao clasped his hands behind his back, glanced coldly at the people on the ground, and then walked forward.
He just bowed his head to Liang Huan and looked at her with a half-smile.
"I knew that the Queen Mother was ill, and I was very anxious. I ordered someone to find a century-old mountain ginseng root and wanted to offer it to the Queen Mother. Who would have thought that my sincere heart was only rejected!"
