Empress Dowager

The faint fragrance of daffodils in the hall is still lingering on the tip of the nose, and the rich and crispy fragrance of pastries tempts Gao Lixin to walk slowly to the table with light steps.

I heard from the maid beside me that the empress has never returned since she went to salute with her early in the morning, and these are just mother Liu who came back an hour ago and told the chef to follow the empress's method.

Gao Lixin leaned over with her slender fingers, picked up a small piece of rose cake and put it into her mouth. It was crispy and delicious, full of fragrance, and the tip of the tongue carried a faint sweetness that spread to the root of the tongue little by little, lingering into the heart.

The corners of Gao Lixin's mouth raised slightly, evoking a clear and fragrant smile.

The dust-laden evil wind outside the temple blew more and more violently, and the sky became dark and heavy, approaching the mountains and greenery in darkness, and soon snowflakes flew in the air, swirling in the cold wind.

Gao Lixin patted the residue on his hands, looked up at the menacing goose feather snow outside the window with a gloomy expression, and then looked up at the dark sky, his heartbeat became more and more chaotic.

She lowered her hand to caress the court gown with gold silk borders, and as soon as her fingertips covered it, the icy chill on the embroidered satin spread through her body through her fingertips, which shocked her.

But that coldness invaded her whole heart inch by inch.Her fine eyelashes blinked. According to calculations from her previous life, the battle of Nanzhao was about to start in one month, and she also lost a major general in that battle.

"Ji Rou, it's snowing, send Yunxi Yunyao out to look for the Empress Dowager!" Shu Lang's voice was still echoing in the hall, Gao Lixin had already stepped out of the hall.

Flying snow danced back to the wind, Gao Lixin's body was thin, and the cold snow falling on her white cheeks made her tremble all over.

After Ji Rou gave Yunxi Yunyao's instructions, she turned around and followed Gao Lixin's steps in small steps. She unfolded the Ziyuan velvet cloak in her hand and gently put it on Gao Lixin's body, "Your Highness is so anxious, where are you going?"

Ji Rou exquisitely tied a lifelike bowknot on Gao Lixin's chest, as if a gust of wind could blow it up and dance gracefully in the air.

Gao Lixin adjusted the cloak on her body slowly, and rubbed her cheeks on the velvet collar, raising a little warmth. Her bright eyes seemed to be flooded with clear water, and the light was shining on Ji Rou. A delicate little face was skipped, the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, and the expression was indifferent without showing the slightest ailment.

"Prepare the sedan!"

The thawing snow was falling more and more quickly. Sitting in the sedan chair, Gao Lixin could still clearly feel the sound of the cold wind whistling by his ears.

The sedan chair was tossed and turned all the way, breaking through the white snow all over the ground, and finally got off the sedan chair at the criminal trial of the Supervisory Department.

He leaned over and got off the sedan chair, Mr. Wei Xiaoli from the Ministry of Criminal Justice bowed slightly to salute Gao Lixin, and then led her to the criminal trial.

The order for Gao Lixin to come to the Criminal Trial Office arrived one step earlier than her. After receiving the order, Mr. Wei had ordered his servants to arrange everything in advance, and waited at the door under the heavy snow.

The gloomy light in the interrogation room revealed a gloomy chill, and the pungent bloody smell in the air relentlessly pierced into people's nostrils. Gao Lixin took a seat in another secret room, even though it was different from the interrogation outside. The room was separated by a door, but the rancid smell and the strong bloody smell in the air still made her stomach churn.

She tried her best to restrain the discomfort in her body and stabilize her mind. This was just the beginning.

Soon there was a creaking sound from outside, Gao Lixin poked outside through the special square opening, and saw Wu Zhizhong being pushed out on the cross with disheveled hair, his face was blurred by blood stains , drooping his head dying.

Master Wei was sitting in front of him, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the secret room where Gao Lixin was from time to time.

A basin of salt water was poured on Wu Zhizhong's body, and he turned to wake up with a shuddering body. After seeing the person opposite him clearly, he immediately cursed: "Wei Xiaoli, you thief, the case is closed, why are you always holding on to me?" As Wu Zhizhong spoke, he spat at the opposite side, with a bayonet-like look in his eyes.

"The previous case is settled, but Master Wu still remembers the Jinhui warehouse deficit case three years ago? At that time, all officials with a deficit of more than 10 taels were all executed, and afterward, the inventories of silver taels in various states and counties were checked. There are several [-] taels of silver more than the amount investigated, how many officials were killed unjustly and how many officials were allowed to escape by chance? Don’t you want to explain it, Master Wu?”

Mr. Wei threw the stack of case files in his hand onto the desk, and the jar on the desk shook for a while before it stabilized.

Wu Zhizhong has been playing Tai Chi with him all the time. He believes that Gao Jin has a way to solve this matter. He just needs to answer according to their countermeasures. As for the others, if he refuses to admit it, what can they do to him?

Wu Zhizhong thought so and answered this way, but he didn't know that the torture he used on others back then would be implemented on himself today.

Although whipping was considered the lightest punishment, how could Wu Zhizhong, who was already injured, endure these severe punishments?What's more, it was sprinkled with salt water.

The wailing sound became more and more miserable, "Wei Xiaoli, you dare to torture me and tell the Seventh Princess' ears, beware of your dog's life."

Looking at Wu Zhizhong who was grinning in pain, Mr. Wei's beard curled up triumphantly, and he finally punished this arrogant guy, but the next words of the other party made his heart tremble violently. Now, although he acts upright and properly, it is difficult for the villain to frame him and stab him in the back.After all, there was Seventh Princess who could rely on behind that person.

Master Wei turned his head to look at the secret room where Gao Lixin was, squinted his eyes, and there was no hint of a signal for him to stop. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking of His Royal Highness's previous instructions, his confidence was suppressed. All of a sudden, he rushed up aggressively again, "Add punishment to me."

He is not afraid of him, the evidence of Wu Zhizhong's crime is as solid as a mountain, and he has His Highness the Empress Dowager behind him, and he guesses that the case left over from the past is enough to make the Wu family unable to turn over in the court.

The painful screams in her ears were still intensifying, Gao Lixin's expression was as steady as a mountain, and she raised her eyes to examine the increasingly determined expression on Mrs. Wei's face, and the corners of her lips deepened.

She got up from the back door of the secret room and left the inspector's department. Before entering the sedan chair, a pair of eyes as deep as cold pools lingered in the icy inspector's department for several times. She believed that Mr. Wei would live up to her expectations.

Gao Jin hadn't recovered from the anger during the day, and after listening to Xiao Luzi's report, she realized that the Taoist priests invited today were not from their side. That Taoist was talking nonsense.

She knew that someone must be obstructing it, Gao Jin chewed on the Taoist's words again and again, her brows became tighter and tighter, how could Gao Lixin know in advance that he was going to harm her?I want the Taoist priest to say something like that.

Gao Jin's face froze, and her pupils shrank. Could it be that they have already discovered the relationship between her and Concubine Chen?She clenched the bed sheet tightly, anyone who might put her in danger deserved to die, she thought about Concubine Chen's frequent visits to Wude Hall recently, her heart was clenched together.

It seems that this person can't stay.

She gritted her teeth tightly and was still thinking about her strategy. Xiao Luzi's voice came from outside the hall again. After Gao Jin agreed, he slipped into the hall with his hands on his waist, muttering something in a low voice, and Gao Jin heard The coldness in his eyes was even worse.

She hurried to the desk and took a pen to draw on the paper, but when she handed it to Xiaoluzi, it was blank.Now that Wu Zhizhong has been tortured, her private residence outside the palace needs to be transferred. After all, there are many court tributes she stopped and gold, silver and jewelry used to bribe officials are hidden in it. Not many people know about this, but Wu Zhizhong Zhong was one of them, and she was not sure if this uncle would not be able to keep his mouth shut.

For the present plan, the only way is to transfer as soon as possible.

However, Xiao Luzi got the order to leave the Hall of Martial Virtue, and when he sneaked out of the palace, a black shadow hidden in the night shuttled past the corridor and followed.

Chu Yingxuan didn't know where Gao Lixin had gone. If she had known that Gao Lixin had gone back to Shaohua Palace to look for her, she would not have ran out without permission.

She went to Bi Luochi in the harem before, and she always felt that the maid was dead when she came out of the Wude Hall. She wanted to investigate to see if she could find any clues, but who knew that this search would take a long time. After a long time, when she returns to Shaohua Palace, how can there be Gao Lixin's shadow?

Chu Yingxuan pursed her lips and felt annoyed. She watched the cakes prepared on the table lose their heat little by little. She looked out of the window. The coolness of the place.

She was anxious in her heart, looking forward to the news of Gao Lixin's return. She was lying in front of the window in a daze, and Yunxi Yunyao's worried and nervous expression appeared in her mind when she found her. They said that His Royal Highness sent them to look for her. Damn.

While she was nestling in this empty hall and waiting for Gao Lixin, the words of those two maidservants circled her ears countless times, and every time she circled around, the blush on her cheeks became more stained.

Thinking of this, Chu Yingxuan's heart warmed up, and she couldn't help lowering her eyes and secretly smiling, Gao Lixin still cared about her.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness is back." Chu Yingxuan was still thinking about those few words, and Mother Liu slipped to her side, and said happily.

Chu Yingxuan froze for a moment, and immediately her face bloomed with beautiful flowers like hibiscus. She grabbed Mama Liu's arm, "Really? Then where is she?" Chu Yingxuan turned her head and looked out. Tan, it seems that Gao Lixin was not seen.

"Your Majesty, His Highness is taking a bath in Huaqing Pool at the moment! It seems that you have rushed back in the wind and snow, and you have a chill all over your body. You want to get rid of the cold first." Liu's mother chuckled in her heart, looking at her young lady who had been busy all night. Seeing her fidgeting, she also felt distressed, but fortunately, after hearing the news from His Highness, her eyes that had lost their expression finally became more cheerful.

Chu Yingxuan raised her hand to straighten the hairpin on her head, with a smile on her face, and the emerald glass hairpin inserted in her hair also shook, her eyes seemed to be full of mist, "Am I so good-looking?"

"It's pretty, the empress is always good-looking." Mother Liu couldn't hide the smile from the corner of her mouth, and dotingly looked at Chu Yingxuan, who had regained her vitality in front of her.

Chu Yingxuan pursed her lips and smiled, lifted her skirt and was about to run out of the hall, but her arm was suddenly grabbed by Mother Liu, "Madam, are you going to Huaqing Pool?"

Ms. Liu looked shocked. Although they were already married, they were somewhat embarrassed. She raised her eyes and looked at her face carefully, but she didn't see any trace of shyness on the other side.

Chu Yingxuan wanted to see Gao Lixin wholeheartedly, but she was a little unclear about Mama Liu's excited reaction, so she was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that Gao Lixin was taking a bath in Huaqing Pool at the moment, so she was going to be naked, thinking so, She just blushed, her face seemed to be flushed with cherry blossoms, her red lips moved, "I can't go, can I?"

Listening to that voice, although there was timid softness, it was obviously a little bit lost, and the previous spring was gone.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go?" Mother Liu asked tentatively.

Chu Yingxuan frowned in shame when she heard the words, she blushed and turned away from Mama Liu's prying eyes, her ears were already blushing, her fingers twisted the corners of her clothes restlessly, she lowered her head and nodded lightly.

Mother Liu coughed softly, "Then let's go! Your Majesty and Your Highness have also performed Zhou Gong's ceremony." Mother Liu paused, and said: "Madam, do you want to inform Miss Ji Rou in advance?"

"En, good!" Chu Yingxuan nodded, now she doesn't have any aloof attitude in front of Mama Liu, even if she wanted to, she has completely retreated from the one she made just now Two clean.

She turned around and gently lifted the hem of the skirt with her hand, and Mother Liu's advice was repeated, "Your Majesty, remember to be prudent, remember to be careful, and don't let people look down upon you."

Mama Liu's words were so meaningful, Chu Yingxuan felt her chest suffocate and coughed a few times before she frowned and said, "I..."

She wanted to say that she didn't have that kind of intention in wanting to see Gao Lixin, but simply wanted to see her.

The corner of Chu Yingxuan's mouth twitched, and the words she wanted to say were choked in her throat.

The author has something to say: I really want to quickly write about the sweet life of the two other than Gao Jin!I always think about the countless scenes of their sweet time in my head, ai ai ai
