Chapter 589: Shedding the Old and Breeding the New
Compared with the luxurious Hanzhang Palace, the wooden house is simple and shabby at a glance, and can only be considered clean and tidy.
Gao Hao stood beside the wooden couch, looking down at the sickly man on the couch. His black hair was twisted so much that it could only be held up with a wooden hairpin. His pale face had deep-set eye sockets, and his skinny body was covered with gloves. Wearing a wide and large light gray robe...
Gu Ya knelt aside and choked with sobs: "When I woke up yesterday morning, my queen was still fine, but someone in the palace said that she slipped up... After hearing the news that King Guangning passed away, he became like this..."
She lowered her head and wiped away her tears.
Gao Hao looked at the exhausted woman in front of him. How could she still have the slightest trace of her former grace?
She stared blankly at the tent above her head, in a daze, as if she would close her eyes the next moment and completely lose her breath.
Recalling the past, even if she was sitting high behind the beaded curtain, she could not conceal her radiant light, which made people feel elusive and out of reach.
Later, he was often confused and confused, unable to control himself.
He leaned down, held her chin, and looked at her carefully.
Now it seems that it is nothing more than that.
He overestimated her.
He threw away his hand, sat on the edge of the couch with his back, and sighed.
"Sister-in-law, don't blame me for not missing the old relationship. If it weren't for the discussion in the previous dynasty, I would be reluctant to ask you to move here." He looked back at her and said, "I am not afraid to tell you that Hulu Qiguang is here. The letter heavily accused the emperor's wife and the orphan..."
He paused and said, "However, this is by no means a bad thing. It is far away from everyone's sight, and it is also far away from right and wrong. I hope you can take good care of yourself. If you want to move back again, you can.”
Gao Hao grabbed her thin wrist and sighed: "I promise you, I will come and see you as soon as I have time."
The person in his hand showed no reaction and did not even blink.
Gu Ya caught a glimpse of what the emperor said in her ear.
With just a few words, he stood up and looked at himself coldly.
Gu Ya shivered in fear: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Gao Hao walked up to Gu Ya with a smile, bent down and lifted her chin, "She looks pretty and pretty, it's a pity to stay here."
He smiled softly and said meaningfully: " Take good care of the emperor's sister-in-law, and wait for the emperor's sister-in-law... Gu Ya was stunned and said, "Your Majesty."
She came to her senses and kowtowed violently. : "Slave, I don't dare."
Gao Hao chuckled, straightened up, and left with the palace attendants without looking back.
The path paved with stone slabs was covered with a thin layer of snow, which creaked when you stepped on it. The crisp sound made the cold winter feel even colder.
The chamberlain who was following closely took a look at the wooden house located deep in the wintersweet forest, and was slightly worried: "This place is even more remote than the Leng Palace, and there are no comparable palaces nearby. It must be dark at night. There are no guards around, I'm just worried about safety..."
He couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, so he didn't dare to say anything further.
Gao Hao stopped when he heard the words, looked back at the wooden house that was almost covered by the dense wintersweet branches, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
If Hu Lü Qiguang hadn’t mentioned it in his letter, he wouldn’t have known that there was such a place in the palace.
Is Hulu Qiguang's suggestion to let Liang Huan move here really just to save Gao Qian's face?
"It doesn't matter." He looked coldly.
The waiter took one look and had an idea.
Gao Hao narrowed his eyes, his eyes were very cold: "Is there anything strange about that wooden house?"
The chamberlain understood: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have ordered someone to inspect it carefully from the inside to the outside. After checking it, I found nothing special. ”
Gao Hao frowned and nodded slightly.
“It’s okay if she is at peace, but if she is not at peace——”
He looked at the wintersweets everywhere, and it would be convenient to burn them with a fire.

"Mother, the hot water is ready," Gu Ya squatted by the stove and turned to call into the bedroom.
"Here we come." Liang Huan responded from inside.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came out, only rustling sounds inside.
Gu Ya couldn’t help but be surprised.
She walked to the door, peeked in, and saw Liang Huan holding a lamp, rummaging through the cabinets, as if he was looking for something, and knocked on the inner wall of the wardrobe with his hand, and listened attentively.
"Empress? Can I help you find it together?"
Liang Huan closed the cabinet door and turned around, "I'm just taking a look, you might as well help me clean my face first."
"Yes." Liang Huan sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at the fake decorations. His face was first wiped gently with a silk handkerchief dipped in white wine.
She always felt that if she just built such a simple wooden house, Gao Qian would not need the skilled craftsmen who built the imperial tomb.
Of course, it is possible that she is overthinking it.
Liang Huan frowned.
No matter what, it’s good to be out of Gao Hao’s sight now.
After a while, a clean and thin face appeared in the mirror.
Gu Ya took a look in the mirror and helped Liang Huan untie her hastily tied hair. She said with regret, "Your Majesty's satin-like hair is ruined like this..."
Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "I think there won't be many people coming during this period, so why don't I help you fix it for me?"
Liang Han grabbed her uneven hair and nodded: "That's fine."
Gu Ya took a horn comb and gently combed Liang Han's hair, and sighed: "My queen is really capable of ruthlessness. Don't worry."
Liang Huan smiled: "Even if they are really shaved, they can grow back. What are you afraid of?"
Gu Ya hesitated.
The two were talking when someone knocked on the wooden door outside the house.
Liang Huan and Gu Ya looked at each other, fearing that someone would leave and come back.
Liang Han pointed to the inner room and quietly prepared to lie down on the bed. When Gu Ya saw Liang Han going to the inner room, she got up and opened the door.
The wooden door opened with a creak.
Someone bent down, cupped their fists and saluted.
“Master Gongyang ordered me to send some firewood and silver carbon to the Queen Mother.”
After he finished speaking, he stepped aside, pointed to a few people standing in the courtyard and said, "We will send supplies again every three days from now on."
"Your Majesty." Gu Ya looked at Cong. People coming out of the inner room.
Liang Huan looked over and saw that there were not only several large bundles of firewood placed in the open space of the small courtyard, but also two large baskets full of coal.
When several people saw Liang Han, they bowed down.
“Meet the Queen Mother.”
Liang Huan spared their courtesy and pointed to a few bulging sacks on the ground.
"What are these?"
The leader replied: "They are rice grains, medicinal materials, seasonal vegetables and preserved meat."
After speaking, he added: "Master Gongyang said, please don't worry, the things in the palace are all in quantity, and they are all brought in from outside the palace."
After that, he wiped his hands and took out a letter from his arms to present it. superior.
Liang Huan took the letter and looked down at the envelope. It was Wang Tingyue's handwriting.

In the dusk, the wintersweet on the branches is in full bloom, and the cold wind is full of the fragrant wintersweet fragrance.
Liang Huan was covered in thick fur, holding a small wine jar in her left hand and a spatula in her right hand.
She found a suitable location, squatted down, and dug with a shovel. After digging the hole, she placed the wine jar in it.
"Mother." Gu Ya opened the window and saw a person squatting on the ground behind a plum tree.
Liang Han buried the wine and hurried back to the house.
The table is covered with exquisite porcelain dishes, and the bronze five-cooked cauldron standing aside is rolling with rich soup, and the aroma continues to rise with the steaming heat.
Very tempting.
Liang Han washed his hands and asked Gu Ya to sit with him.
"There are no outsiders here, and you don't have to be polite in the future."
Gu Ya pursed her lips and looked at her with some doubts.
Liang Han personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Ya and placed it on the table in front of her.
“I know you have many questions in your mind.”
