Empress Dowager

The emperor didn't make a sound, just nodded.

"What if we win the battle?"

The emperor frowned, but his face was extremely calm, and the beard around his mouth moved, "Let her live for the time being, I will make my own arrangements." Left and right can no longer allow her to stay in the palace and continue to do whatever she wants.

Gao Lixin came back to the bedroom from the study at Maoshi. The emperor had already ordered the cancellation of the next day's morning ceremony last night. She looked up, and the dark night seemed to be torn from the sky, revealing the white light of fish belly.

Gao Lixin hammered her sore waist, her heavy eyelids were about to close, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned, this night's work was finally not in vain, and all the matters before the expedition were well prepared.

She pushed open the door lightly, and there was silence in the curtain, only Chu Yingxuan's light breathing could be heard carefully, she opened the curtain and sat on the edge of the bed, touching her cheek with her fingertips, In the bright light, you can still vaguely see the tear stains on her face.

The palms wrapped her cheeks little by little, the skin was as smooth as water, and she was caressing gently, but she was a little reluctant to stop.

Chu Yingxuan's fine eyelashes were probably wet with tears, they were stuck together, her whole body was curled up in a ball and curled up under the quilt, her forehead was slightly frowned, as if she didn't sleep well.

Gao Lixin twitched his heart, withdrew his hand, leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth, took off his coat and shoes and turned on the bed.

Xu Shi felt the warmth around her, and Chu Yingxuan closed her eyes, as if she didn't intend to wake up, she moved lazily towards Gao Lixin's side, and slipped into her arms.

Like a soft and cute kitten, it arches its body to be intimate with its owner.

Gao Lixin looked down at her, the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily, and his long arms wrapped around her in his arms.Rubbing her cheek with one hand, he lowered his head and couldn't help but kissed the tip of her nose, and said softly, "Sleep!"

Chu Yingxuan didn't wake up, but subconsciously hummed, rubbing her forehead against Gao Lixin's neck, and then fell silent again.

Gao Lixin stretched out his hand to tuck the corners of the quilt for the two of them, hugged her for a while, and then fell asleep. In the originally quiet curtain, the sound of their breathing echoed each other.

This time Gao Lixin slept very deeply, maybe after a busy night, he rested only after dawn, the person in his arms woke up, but Gao Lixin didn't realize it at all, the sound of even breathing lingered through the curtain in the room.

"Ma'am, water..." Mother Liu walked in with a washbasin. Chu Yingxuan put her fingers on her lips and made a silencing motion, looking at the bed curtain behind her. Picking up, indicating that His Highness is still resting, don't disturb her.

Ms. Liu paused for a moment, then said "oh", then carefully put the basin away, and waited for Chu Yingxuan to freshen up.

"When did your Highness come back last night?"

Back in front of the dressing table, Chu Yingxuan stretched her arms and let Mama Liu wait for her to change clothes. She tried her best to lower her voice and asked.

"It's probably already [-] o'clock. This servant remembers that the sky has already begun to light up." Madam Liu raised her head and replied after she tied the belt around Chu Yingxuan.

"So late?" Didn't His Highness have been busy all night?Chu Yingxuan was slightly taken aback, frowned and turned to look at the person on the bed, feeling a little distressed for no reason.

"Order the cook to prepare the meal and keep it warm, and the meal will be available when His Highness wakes up."

After Chu Yingxuan ordered, she lowered her head and moved slowly to arrange her clothes. What could have been done in a quarter of an hour took a full half an hour today. When she sat back at the dressing table, it was a cold winter day. Beads of sweat ooze from the tip of Chu Yingxuan's nose, which adds a bit of coquettishness to her ruddy skin.

Mother Liu's movements were very gentle, and the comb flowed down through the hair like clouds and flowing water, and Chu Yingxuan closed her eyes comfortably.

Feeling that the bun on her head was taking shape little by little, Chu Yingxuan slowly raised her eyes, but what caught her eyes startled her, she met Gao Lixin's eyebrows with a slight smile through the glazed mirror in a trance.

"I, I'll do it myself." Chu Yingxuan raised her hand and wanted to snatch the emerald wishful hairpin from the opponent's hand, but Gao Lixin waved her hand to dodge it, and reprimanded softly, "Don't move!"

Chu Yingxuan was startled, she pursed her lips and retracted her hand in time, and raised her eyes to stare at the uncharacteristically Gao Lixin in the mirror.

"Okay!" With a smile on his cheeks, Gao Lixin inserted the hairpin for her himself, and stroked her bun again with his fingers.While Chu Yingxuan was still in a trance, she leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. The moment her hot red lips covered Chu Yingxuan's skin, her fair cheeks were dyed crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chu Yingxuan shyly pursed her lips and smiled, looked up at her, and Gao Lixin looked at her with a gleam of affection.

The two tacitly did not mention the matter of breaking up last night.No one can bear to destroy such a warm atmosphere.

Gao Lixin patted the hand on her shoulder, kissed her hair with red lips, and said, "Change into simple clothes in a while and wait for me to come back. Let's go out of the palace."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Lixin's people had already walked around the screen to the door, Chu Yingxuan got up quickly and asked, "Do you want to eat first, Your Highness?"

"No, come back from the imperial study and use it!"

A voice came from outside the door, and Chu Yingxuan was silent for a long time with her eyes downcast, before a deep smile slowly formed on the corners of her lips.

Approaching the imperial study room, Gao Lixin stretched lazily and pulled himself together before preparing to meet the emperor, but he never wanted to be shut down. The emperor didn't see her, and only asked her to make all preparations before the expedition .

Sitting on the chariot, Gao Lixin rested her chin and squinted her eyes, thinking that the emperor actually blamed her a little bit, from the meaningful eyes the emperor cast on her in Guangling Palace last night, she understood that The emperor may have guessed that all this may have something to do with her.

After all, who hasn't the guts to make trouble in the harem on the crown daughter's birthday.

Judging from Concubine Rong's reaction, the emperor confirmed that she had betrayed him more than once, and there was nothing wrong with exposing her, but Gao Lixin shouldn't have chosen such a way to embarrass him.

Gao Lixin smiled lightly, did she not consider the emperor's feelings in doing so?Of course she had thought about it, but the more hurt she suffered, the easier it would be to stop, and there would be hope for him to hate Gao Jin as well.

Sometimes, people just think too much, and then they are benevolent.

Gao Lixin closed her eyes and leaned back, even if the emperor complained to her, it was only temporary, as long as she acted cautiously in the future, no one could shake her position as the empress dowager, her ascension to the throne was just a matter of course.

***

After returning to the East Palace, Gao Lixin took care of some trivial matters, until nightfall, Gao Lixin and the others left the palace, got into the car and rushed to the agreed place.At that time, there was still a golden halo that was about to disperse in the sky.

Chu Yingxuan was leaning against the car window, and Gao Lixin, who was opposite her, was sitting by the window like her. Taking advantage of the light leaking in from the window, her eyes were fixed on the book of war in her hand without even looking up from the beginning to the end.

This time, Gao Lixin was really not playing with her temper. It was just that the battle was imminent. She had to make full preparations and seize all available time to improve herself. The Daxin Dynasty suffered heavy casualties.In this way, she couldn't take it lightly.

Chu Yingxuan looked at her and sighed softly, not wanting to disturb her, lifted the soft curtain and leaned out of the car.The sky was getting dark little by little, and the vendors on the street had already started to clear up their stalls. The pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and they were probably in a hurry to go home!

Chu Yingxuan watched all this calmly, and when her eyes fell on the entrance of the alley in the northeast corner, her eye sockets suddenly widened, and Wu Yingying's eyes flickered.

The older, bloated woman there was tearing a woman's hair, punching and kicking her, and seemed to be cursing.As for the woman who was beaten, Chu Yingxuan couldn't recognize her very well. How could she not know her personal maid who had been with her for so long?

It's just that she didn't expect Yan'er to end up in such a situation, didn't she ask her father to find a decent family for Yan'er to marry?

"What are you looking at?" Chu Yingxuan was still wondering, but Gao Lixin's voice suddenly came to her ears, she suddenly came back to her senses, turned her beautiful eyes, and looked at Gao Lixin.

"No, it's nothing." Chu Yingxuan forced a smile, glanced at a corner outside the window, and took it back in time.

Gao Lixin didn't tell her who she was going to meet when she went out of the palace today, she got out of the carriage with him and entered the second-floor wing of Zuixiao Tower before showing a look of surprise and surprise.

The four people sitting around the table in the side room saw the figures of the two, and they all stood up respectfully to greet them.

"Sister!" Chu Jianing was the happiest among them. The two sisters hadn't seen each other since Chu Ying announced her marriage to the palace. Shui Yan returned and left the capital, thinking that she would not know when she would see her sister again in the future, her face became bitter like a bitter melon, her mouth was pursed and she was depressed every day.

It wasn't until today that Gao Lixin received a letter inviting her to meet them at Zuixiaolou, the smile that Chu Jianing hadn't seen for a long time reappeared on her cheeks, the smile was particularly eye-catching.

"Ning'er!" Chu Yingxuan didn't expect to see her here. Of course, she was more than surprised when she saw Zeng Ruoyi, who was talking and laughing at Yanyan, and Zeng Ruoyi, who seemed to have had his bones removed, leaning on each other. When Zhai Yilang was there, his whole body froze, and he opened his mouth after a while, "You..."

"Miss Zeng will be our female official in the East Palace in the future. She will take care of you by your side in everything, so I will be at ease after I leave." Gao Lixin gently wrapped her arms around Chu Yingxuan's willow waist and explained.

"Okay, everyone, sit down!" Gao Lixin took a deep look at Chu Yingxuan with her beautiful eyes, and saw the subtle changes in her eyebrows and eyes, including the slightest touch of emotion, and then raised her head to urge her, and the few people were no longer restrained. , Yiyan sat down.

"My lord, after I went back today, I compiled a copy of the combat notes, take it back and have a look, and see if there are any mistakes." Outside the palace, Zhai Yilang generally referred to Gao Lixin as his lord.As soon as she sat down, she took out one of the many notes in front of her and handed it over, her mouth bulging with food.

While speaking, he lowered his head to look at other materials, and when he swallowed what he was chewing, he leaned his neck to the side without raising his eyes, opened his mouth, and let out an ah.

Zeng Ruoyi's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the opposite side. Sure enough, the people on the opposite side stared at the two of them dumbfounded as if they were watching a play.Zeng Ruoyi blushed, and the blush on her cheeks spread all the way to the corners of her eyes.

He squinted at Zhai Yilang who didn't know it, put the crystal winter melon dumplings he picked up just now back into the bowl, and ignored her.

Waiting and waiting until the food was brought to his mouth, Zhai Yilang's mouth was a little sore, and he arched his head on Zeng Ruoyi's arm again, urging: "Hurry up! Another whole day I'm starving to death without eating."

"Pick yourself!" Zeng Ruoyi said angrily, causing her to be laughed at by so many people, and she still had the face to let him feed her, let alone in front of others?

"Isn't it that I can't spare my hand? You..." Zhai Yilang raised his head while explaining, his eyes swept over everyone. In an instant, the breath in the room seemed to be stagnant, quiet Only a faint gasp remained.

Zhai Yilang smiled at Gao Lixin, and said: "Well, seeing that your lord is coming late, and I'm so hungry, I ordered the waiter to serve a winter melon dumpling pad to pad my stomach first. Your lord won't mind, will you?"

Seeing this, Gao Lixin and Chu Yingxuan looked at each other and smiled, Gao Lixin put one arm on the chair behind Chu Yingxuan, and said with a smile: "It's okay, in private, everyone doesn't need to be formal."

Seeing the two people on the opposite side coming and going, Murong Shuiyan couldn't sit still. After being alone for so long, she finally managed to see the moonlight. Why hasn't she enjoyed such high-end treatment?From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Chu Jianing who was sitting eight feet away from her, and Murong Shuiyan couldn't help but rolled her eyes, as the distance between them is more than enough to fit four or five people in.

Murong Shuiyan was breathless, pinched her throat and coughed a few times, turned her head and glanced at Chu Jianing who was having a good time talking with Chu Yingxuan again. Sheng Sheng chatted with Chu Yingxuan about something.

Murong Shuiyan moved the stool to her side, and reached out to punch Chu Jianing's shoulder.The other party seemed to be disturbed, and turned around irritably and shouted, "What are you doing?"

The ending sound rises, slightly angry.

Surprised, Murong Shuiyan said aggrievedly, "I'm hungry too."

"Eat when you're hungry, isn't that..." Chu Jianing seemed to frown into a knot, and pointed to the plate of crystal winter melon dumplings on the table. A dumpling entered Zhai Yilang's mouth under her gaze.

Chu Jianing moved her lips, swallowed her saliva, and angrily shouted at the people beside her, "Hold it!"

"Hey! You're so angry! It seems that I really don't know whether it's joy or sorrow to marry this Miss Chu!"

Suddenly there was a sarcastic laugh from outside the door, everyone looked outside the door and saw Gao Jin entering the house next to the waiter who served the food.

At the first glance, Gao Lixin frowned slightly, startled at first, but soon understood.She also got news today that the emperor released Gao Jin's ban and allowed her to return to Wude Hall to prepare for the battle.As for Concubine Rong's death, she was supposed to stop court for two days, but the emperor ordered to temporarily block the news, and only allowed Gao Jin to leave the palace to inform the Wu family.

As for Concubine Rong's body, it was buried hastily in a mass grave. The emperor would not treat her kindly because she did such embarrassing things during her lifetime.

Gao Jin was so full of anger that she had nowhere to vent her anger, and instead of rushing to Wu's house after leaving the palace, she went to Zuixiaolou to get drunk, but happened to bump into them.

Gao Jin snorted softly, it's really a narrow road to the enemy!

The sharp eyes passed everyone's body, and only stayed on Zhai Yilang for a moment, his black eyes shrank suddenly, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
