Gu Ya watched Liang Han take the pills.
"The Queen Mother..."
After she took the cup from Liang Huan, she stood still and moved her lips slightly, feeling a little hesitant.
The fact that the Queen Mother mistakenly wore the Queen's phoenix robe spread a lot in the harem.
Although the emperor punished the palace servants related to Hanzhang Palace and forbade the concubines in the harem to discuss the matter anymore, this move could only control people's mouths, not their hearts.
The most puzzling thing is that usually when this kind of mistake occurs, you should get to the bottom of it to find out whether it was an honest mistake or someone deliberately causing trouble.
But the emperor could only look at the Queen Mother tenderly in front of all the concubines before leaving, and contradicted himself by saying that in this harem, the Queen Mother's supreme and noble position was unmatched. , no matter how the Queen Mother wants to act, it is the right thing to do.
The indulgent and graceful tone and demeanor make people feel frightened listening and watching.
Gu Ya has not forgotten the shocked expressions of the Queen and all the concubines at that time, not to mention the resentful look in Concubine Shu's eyes.
Recently, rumors have been circulating in the harem that the Queen Mother has an affair with the Emperor.
A chamberlain from the Taiji Hall who was waiting closely said that when the emperor was taking a bath, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a circle of scabbed tooth marks on his left shoulder.
It is said that the Queen Mother deliberately left it behind during a private meeting between the Emperor and the Queen Mother, in order to prevent the Emperor from getting close to his concubines.
Otherwise, why has the emperor been sleeping alone in Tai Chi Hall recently? Even the most favored Wei Zhaoyi has been left behind? Instead, go to the Queen Mother's bedroom if you have nothing to do?
Look at the concubines who come to greet them every day. They just follow the custom and listen to the Queen Mother's instructions, and then leave in a hurry, never daring to stay any longer.
After all, the day before yesterday, there was a newly appointed Longhui who couldn't help but mocked the Queen Mother verbally. However, he happened to be caught by the emperor and was dragged outside the palace to be executed on the spot. He was also ordered to let the concubine Go and see who dares to disrespect the Queen Mother again in the future?
You must know that Longhui's status is not low, but he doesn't just kill him?
Nowadays, even the queen who moved around most frequently in the past rarely comes to Hanzhang Hall.
How can this continue?
She didn't believe that the Queen Mother knew nothing about these things, but instead of shying away, the Queen Mother became more and more intimate with the Emperor.
……
Gu Ya bit her lip, feeling worried.
Liang Huan held her chin and concentrated on playing chess. After landing a piece, she raised her chin at Gao Yang on the opposite side: "Stop being stunned, it's your turn."
Gao Yang Yang glanced at Gu Ya next to him, picked up a black stone from the agate chess set, and placed it on the chessboard.
He raised his eyes: "If this continues, the Queen Mother will lose."
Liang Huan smiled: "It is too early to talk about winning or losing now."
After saying that, he found that Gu Ya was still standing aside with his head lowered.
Liang Huan turned to look at her: "Go down and have a rest."
No matter how reluctant Gu Ya was, she could only bow and retreat.
There is no one else in the hall, only the crystal clear bead curtain is gently swaying.
Gao Yang took a look: "Gu Ya is loyal."
Liang Huan didn't raise his eyes and only dropped one more piece.
Gao Yang was not in the mood to play chess.
In Hanguang Hall, he was severely burned and didn't wake up until the sky was twilight.
I didn’t want to turn my head and find that she was not only sleeping beside him, but also holding him.
He was stiff and did not dare to move.
He vaguely remembered that he saw his mother in a daze, and he didn't know what was going on. He felt extremely sad, as if the grievances and fears that had been accumulated for so long... broke at that moment.
While crying, he held her hand and said many things, and he couldn't remember exactly what he said.
In short, I will not let go even if I live or die.
Until later, the Queen Mother patted him and put him to sleep...
It was not the Queen Mother, but her.
He just slept in her arms all night?
He was angry, hateful and embarrassed, and he only blamed himself for being sick and confused.
Just when she was angry, she woke up and sat up immediately.
No matter what the expression on his face, he took his forehead temperature and felt his pulse.
He turned his head away from her, not wanting to look at her but catching a glimpse of Gebu soaked in a basin of water, ice cubes in the ground that had not completely melted, and an oil lamp that was almost burned out.
Looking at her again, her bun was loose, her clothes were untied, and her face, which was always delicate and beautiful, was actually covered with a faint cyan color, it was clear that she had not slept all night.
Or more than one night.
After all, he didn’t know how long he had been asleep.
The angry words were in his mouth, but he couldn't say them out.
At that moment, he felt that no matter what angry words he said to her, she would never really abandon him or ignore him. It was she who teamed up with others to destroy him, and it was she who saved his life several times.
He really doesn’t understand.
"Why do you still care about me? I am no longer the emperor."
His eyes were sore, he just lowered his head and asked her in a hoarse voice.
She poured a glass of water into his hand.
"Should I die if I'm not the emperor?"
He sat on the couch and looked at her.
She also sat and looked at him, her eyes unavoidable: "Even if you are no longer the emperor, you are still Gao Yang, and you are still yourself. Everyone can have many identities, but there is only one self."
She didn't say anything more, she just stood up and glanced at him, then took out a letter from her arms and placed it on his pillow.
Then she left.
He stared blankly at her back, full of questions.
Finally, he opened the letter.
The letter is written to Gao Huan, King of Yong'an.
As for the content of the letter, it was exactly the same as the one Gao Hao took out in public.
When he came back after reading the letter, she had a bowl of chestnut porridge in her hand.
It was also that day, while he drank the medicine, he listened to her calmly talking about the hidden secrets in the Liuhua Garden.
Although she had been prepared from the beginning, the person she wanted to kill the most was Gao Hao.
However, man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.
Actually, it’s not just her, but him too.
I never expected that the Lu family had secretly formed an alliance with Gao Hao, nor did I expect that the concubine would actually commit herself to Gao Hao and even form a secret alliance.
Now——
Gao Yang slowly lowered his head and sighed: "If I hadn't helped the imperial grandmother by mistake, Gao Huan might not have died, and we wouldn't have ended up in this situation. I blame you for not believing it. You messed up your plan..."
Liang Huan chewed the word 'we' in his mouth and patted him gently.
"No matter Gao Huan or Gao Hao, they are just the same raccoon dog, so what's the difference? If we have to say it's different, it's just a different way of eating us."
Gao Yang reluctantly Smile: "Don't comfort me."
Liang Wei shook his head: "At the beginning, since I prepared two confidential letters, naturally I didn't really count on anyone. No matter who died, it would not be our loss. What's more, even if the person sitting in that position today is not Gao Hao, There will still be others."
She paused and then said: "If the emperor wants to sit on the dragon throne alive, he must either hold the power and no one can shake it, or he can only become a puppet and suffer. "
Gao Yang lowered his eyes: "What about my father?"
Liang Huan was silent and said: "He just wants to be a real high potential."
Gao Yang frowned and looked at her.
The memory of my father is really pitiful.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have never seen his appearance clearly.
Let alone get along with each other.
What I remember most is just a black figure who is isolated from the world.
Gao Yang lowered his head.
The hall was quiet for a long time, both of them thinking about their own thoughts.
Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes: "Did you always know that I stole the antidote to the imperial grandmother?"
Liang Huan nodded lightly: "Yes."
"Then why didn't you stop me?" Gao Yang looked at her blankly: "Could it be that...you want to kill her with someone else's hands?"
Liang Huan turned around and looked at Gao Yang Hao ordered people to give her a new jade bead curtain in the palace and smiled slightly.
"I would rather she live than let her die."
The eyes were cold.
Gao Yang suddenly remembered the desperate and unwilling eyes of the imperial grandmother before she died, or there might be something else in them. (End of this chapter)
