Chapter 564: Retreating like a mountain
"Okay, the emperor can be deposed if he wants."
Liang Huan glanced at Gao Hao, pulled up his slipping clothes, turned around and walked out of the screen. Just leave his back.
Gao Hao frowned tightly.
This reaction was different from what he expected. She agreed so happily.
Even in a house, if a woman wants to settle down and live her life, she must seek the favor of her husband and a certain status, let alone in the palace.
She is the Queen Mother. Although she does not need the blessings of the emperor, the title of Queen Mother is related to her wealth and life, and it is the foundation for her to establish herself in the harem of the previous dynasty.
How could she give up so easily?
Gao Hao looked at Liang Han's back thoughtfully.
I also followed him to the outside room.
Liang Huan was sitting in front of him, adjusting his clothes, and didn't even raise his head when he saw people following him.
Gao Hao sat down and looked at her face.
"I am serious."
He picked up a cup, took the teapot and filled it with tea himself.
Liang Huan tied her belt with her fingers and hummed casually: "I'm not kidding you either. However, since you took away my identity as Queen Mother, you have to compensate me with something else, right? I plan to use What kind of compensation? Become a concubine? Or -"
She paused, raised her head, and stared at him with dark eyes: "Is it a piece of white silk, or a glass of poisonous wine?"
Gao Hao was startled and laughed softly.
The mood is extremely subtle.
Besides using each other, what else is there between them?
It doesn’t even count as hypocrisy and acting out for the occasion.
The funny thing is, they know each other well.
He was teasing her, but why wasn't she just taking advantage of him for fun?
In the Liuhua Garden, when Gao Huan died, he said she was ruthless.
She replied to him coldly, saying that intercession is of no use except to kill people.
Others said that maybe it was just a moment of anger.
But if she said it, it must be from the bottom of her heart.
After all, she is the most powerful woman in the palace.
As long as you have power, what is not within your reach?
But love is the most insignificant one.
"Tell me, which one is it?" Liang Huan slowly raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "It has always been that when all the famous birds are gone, a good bow is hidden. This is really not a rare thing."< br>
Gao Hao suppressed a smile, stared into her eyes, and said nothing.
Actually, she was right.
After issuing the edict to abolish the emperor, there was no need for her to continue to exist as the empress dowager.
After all, if she can defeat Gao Yang together with him today, who can guarantee that she will not join forces with others to defeat him again in the future?
Gao Hao's eyes were dark.
It's really hard for her to be so sober all the time.
Thinking about it this way makes people feel frustrated inexplicably.
Liang Han didn't say a word when he saw the person. He took the small pot from the table in front of him and filled himself a cup of tea.
"The emperor must want to ask me why he chose to join forces with you since he had expected this day, right?"
Gao Hao smiled softly, half sincerely. False: "If it's as the Queen Mother said, then Gudao is really curious."
On that day in the Liuhua Garden, if it was not Gao Huan who died but herself, she would not be surprised.
After all, she can write a secret letter to herself to prove her innocence after the incident, so why can't she write another one to Gao Huan?
Unfortunately, after he ordered people to search Gao Huan's body, the bodies of his cronies, and even the entire Prince Yong'an's residence, he still could not find the suspected letter.
Three days have passed. Even if there is one, it should have been destroyed by now. In this palace, no one will show their last trump card, and no one will really trust anyone.
Just like he never told her that Ao Rubin was his, nor that she would join forces with the Lu family, but she——
Gao Hao looked at her seriously for a moment, and his heart was filled with ups and downs. She may not have left anything behind. Backhand.
Liang Huan did not answer the question just now, but said: "If my guess is correct, the emperor detained me and the deposed emperor in the palace for the past two days just to see how the court would react, right? ? "
Gao Hao smiled: "The Queen Mother is really worried. I am thinking that the Queen Mother has been working hard for a long time and is taking a rest and recuperation, so no one can disturb her. "
Liang Huan understood clearly.
The reason why he was talking about other things was that he must have guessed what he was thinking.
"The emperor does not need to be suspicious of me. If I want to belong to someone else, why should I spare no effort to help you? If you are really worried, just take away my Queen Mother's seal. To this day, I don't ask for much. , apart from a place to stay, I just want you to keep Gao Yang alive."
Gao Hao frowned and looked at her strangely: "In the past, you needed his status as emperor, but now... ...Why do you have to protect him again and again? Do you still expect him to take back the throne in the future?"
Gao Hao's question was expected.
Liang Huan pinched the cup with her finger bones and was silent for a long time. Just when Gao Hao thought he couldn't wait for an answer, he heard her say lightly:
"Emperor Wenxuan entrusted the country and Gao Yang to me before he died. Unfortunately, I am destined to be unable to keep the country, so no matter what, I have to help him protect Gao Yang. After all, he and I are married, so It’s not like I failed him.”
After she finished speaking, she stood up and looked at him: “Wait for me for a while.”
Gao Hao was puzzled, but saw her turn around and go to the door. , but she came back soon, holding a small square box in her hand.
Liang Han came closer and knelt down again.
Gao Hao squinted his eyes and glanced at the box, his heart trembling slightly.
"This is -"
"The Queen Mother's Seal."
Liang Huan placed the box in front of him, opened the lid, and revealed a jade seal.
Gao Hao picked up the seal and looked at it carefully.
It is indeed the one stamped on the edict of the deposed emperor.
Gao Hao didn't know what to say for a moment.
I thought it would take a lot of effort to force her to hand it over, but I didn’t expect that she would just give it to him...
Without the seal, she was just an ordinary person with the title of Queen Mother. Just a woman.
In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of.
I feel much more at ease now that I have settled a worry.
Gao Hao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at her again: "Queen Mother, you don't have to be like this. Since I decided to kill Chun Yubei that day, I just didn't want to do anything to you again——"
He paused and sighed: "Besides, Gu promised the Queen Mother that after Gu ascends the throne, the Queen Mother will do whatever she wants to be the queen."
She acted affectionately.
Liang Huan shook his head and lowered his neck, feeling more discouraged and depressed than he had ever seen before.
"The promises we made in the past were just jokes between us. We couldn't count them. I forgot about them. The emperor doesn't need to take them to heart anymore. I'm angry that you killed Chun Yubei because you were so suspicious of you. I don’t believe it, I just feel a little disappointed. To tell you the truth, I am not interested in the political affairs of the previous government.”
She raised her eyes, looked around the hall, and then said: "I have been thinking about my whereabouts in the hall these past few days. I just said I have something to tell you, and it is this matter."
Gao Hao He caught a glimpse of the seal from the corner of his eye, met her eyes, and said, "Just tell the Queen Mother what her plans are."
Liang Huan pursed her lips: "I originally planned to send the Queen Mother to Yuetai Temple. Now she will naturally not go again... I thought, why don't you send me and King Guangning to Yuetai Temple tomorrow? Although the conditions outside the palace are more difficult, they are much quieter and suitable for him to recuperate. "
When Lu Wanying was mentioned, Gao Hao's face felt a little unnatural.
"Toffee——"
Liang Huan looked at him rather resentfully: "Return the concubine? She is pregnant, and you still... If you don't want to be criticized, you'd better canonize her as soon as possible."
