Huaigui

The Zichen Hall was originally just a place for discussing government affairs, and there was a resting place in the side hall for the emperor who dealt with government affairs all night to take a nap.The situation is special now, when Xu Xin committed suicide, he was the closest to here, so he was sent here.

After that, she remained in a coma for three days. Although the imperial doctor judged that the wound was avoided, there would be no danger to her life, and she did not wake up due to excessive blood loss. Everyone was still sweating.

Now that he opened his eyes, although he was weak, he was finally alive.

When Helan Mingyue arrived, it happened that Empress Dowager Dugu was also anxiously driving.She cared about Xu Xin, and didn't even give He Lan Mingyue half of her eyes, so He Lan Mingyue had no choice but to stand aside and make way for her, and watched her go in - she didn't know whether to go in or not, after all, the Queen Mother wanted to be the first in everything.

Even though she was burning with anxiety, He Lanmingyue had to wait for her to finish greeting with Xu Xin.

Seeing sooner and seeing later is just a matter of time, He Lan comforted himself, looking at the mount beside him being dragged away by the guards.

Gao Jingzhun rode his horse inside the palace wall but there was no express edict, which was against the rules. He Lanmingyue was used to being free in Saibei, but suddenly returned to this cage and was restrained everywhere, feeling uncomfortable and helpless.Surrounded by the strictly guarded imperial guards, no one chatted with him, so He Lan Mingyue could only pace back and forth.

"Your Majesty arrived—"

The servant pulled out a sharp voice, and everyone knelt down to welcome him.

Helan Mingyue turned her head with her hands in her cuffs, the person sitting on her shoulders smiled at him, and he stood there waiting.Only Helan Mingyue didn't salute, walked in front of him, but Gao Jing stopped.

"Has the queen mother stepped in first?" He asked, He Lan nodded, and Gao Jing said, "After finally persuading her to rest, when the news came that General Xu had woken up, she couldn't sit still for a moment and insisted on coming over to see her." ...The queen mother is lonely and arrogant, and there is only this one close friend in the palace, I have wronged you."

He knew that Xu Xin definitely wanted to see He Lan Mingyue first, but he was comforted in turn. He Lan said uncomfortably: "It should have been better to let the Queen Mother go first..." He didn't see Gao Jing's little tail on the left and right, and said strangely, "Fourth Highness didn't you?" Follow you?"

Gao Jing was helped by Aman to sit in the wheelchair: "He is sleeping and exhausted."

Aman pushed him to sit in the main hall of the side hall first, and He Lan Mingyue followed and walked side by side with Gao Jing: "I'll ask someone to present a copy of Mei Gong's confession, have you read it?"

"It's not far from my guess. You don't need to look at it. I gave it to Gao Hong first." Gao Jing said, signaling Amang to walk slowly, "Brother Cheng is very happy to know that you are not dead. He wanted to meet you right away. But when he was imprisoned in the Buddha Pagoda, his body was a little weak, and the imperial doctor suggested not to have too many emotional ups and downs. Wait until he recovers, what do you think?"

He Lan Mingyue nodded naturally, "How is Ran Yunyang's injury?"

Gao Jing said it was okay, and held his hand without hiding his eyes: "I've been too busy these days, thank you for your hard work."

This overly intimate action has never happened in front of people before, He Lan Mingyue looked around, everyone avoided Gao Jing and dared not look straight.It was only then that he had the real feeling that "Gao Jing is the supreme ruler".

Maybe only I can walk side by side with Gao Jing now.

But he didn't have the "glory" he imagined.

Helan Mingyue didn't respond to the "hard work", he and Gao Jing sat in the hall, waited for Amang to bring tea and left with the door half closed.The fragrance of tea is a familiar taste, and He Lan is not used to it.

"I want to go back to Saibei." He said suddenly.

Gao Jing reacted greatly and looked over: "Didn't you say it's time to leave?"

Helan Mingyue lowered her head and stared at the cup of tea reflecting her own eyes: "Mr. Zhu and Wan Lixia are still in Yinzhou City. When they went to settle down Miss Tang last night, they asked her about her plans. They are the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and they will help you along the way. For chivalry, no matter how many rewards she gets, she won't stay in Luoyang..."

"So you want to go too?" Gao Jing's voice trembled, "But...but didn't you answer me?"

Helan Mingyue was sad for some reason: "I walked all the way today, those people took three steps, one kowtowed five steps and one kneeled. When they saw me, no matter what they were doing, they would stop and salute first. In the past, I think it was because I was Your bodyguard, but if you have no official status, I always feel that it will be more difficult in the future."

Gao Jing was puzzled: "What's the problem?"

"I can't tell." He Lan Mingyue thought for a while, and said honestly, "I... don't love power, but I don't want people to think that I... run amok inside and outside the palace because you love it."

If she had always been just a servant, He Lan Mingyue would definitely not have such feelings.But he has seen the days of freedom, and now he only feels that there are restraints everywhere-others used to discipline him, but now he has made others discipline him invisibly.

In the end, in the eyes of others, He Lan's actions are all due to Gao Jing's indulgence and love. This emperor's favor is always on thin ice, and he can't do it without caring.

What is written in those eyes, aside from envy and jealousy, may still be vaguely contemptuous.

He despised him as Gao Jing's "boy favorite".

Gao Jing wanted to understand the reason, he knew that He Lanmingyue was extremely resistant to this, and he couldn't ask for any status from himself like a woman, so he didn't speak for a long time.

"So I think...or else go back to Saibei." He Lanmingyue pretended to be relaxed and wanted to have both. It's not good to stay in Kyoto."

"..."

"It will put the ministers off the hook, and the impeachment all day long will also affect you... What do you think?"

Gao Jing put the cup on the table too loudly and accidentally exposed his anger. He suppressed his temper and said calmly: "I have worked so hard to get this far, and I know what is more important! These trivial things can’t control their mouths, why are you talking about reforming the old system? You don’t have to worry about it for me... But if you want to go back to Saibei, don’t use the minister’s impeachment as a reason, just say it straight.”

Throwing the problem back to him, He Lan Mingyue kept silent again and again, and finally said: "Wait for the situation to stabilize first, then you and I will talk."

"I thought you'd come this far and you could speak up without any scruples, but unexpectedly you still hesitated. Isn't it the ministers?" Gao Jing looked at him, "Tomorrow I'll issue an edict..."

"Interrogate Gao Hong first, Mei Gong's little confession alone can't vindicate him."

"I know."

He said in a daze, "You are the Son of Heaven now."

Gao Jingdao: "I haven't thought about it yet, you always think about it first... don't you want to leave it to me?"

Helan Mingyue's heart was shaken by his grievance, she stood up and touched Gao Jing's head: "Let's talk about it later, this matter is not urgent, we will discuss it slowly when it is completely calm."

At any rate, he was relieved and had room for change. Gao Jing said "um" and grabbed his hand twice, stuck it between his fingers and grabbed it, and said in a coquettish tone: "Don't be mad at me."

"Huh?" He Lan didn't know what to do.

"Anyway, if you become ruthless, there is nothing I can do." Gao Jing raised his head affectionately, and put his face close to Helan Mingyue's palm, "I don't want to live a day when I can't see you even if I open or close my eyes." Well, in those years, I didn’t even have you in my dreams.”

He Lan Mingyue twisted the tip of Gao Jing's nose and said vaguely, "I'm still cruel..."

Just as he was about to tease Gao Jing to tell him not to be so heavy, a deliberate cough came from outside the door, He Lan immediately pulled his hands back to restore his natural expression, Gao Jing said sullenly, "Who is it?"

"Your Majesty, I just received the report from the following." Yu Wenhua walked in carelessly and saluted, kneeling half-kneeling without raising his eyes, "Two things, one, Murong Xun has been placed under house arrest in the mansion. The minister's relatives are not afraid of his affection, so whenever you want to mention him, just open your mouth."

Gao Jing didn't bother to pursue his indifferent attitude: "What else?"

Yu Wenhua said: "Just now, in Dali Temple, King Yu wanted to die and was discovered in time. I don't know who sent in the three-foot white silk and asked him to throw it in. I came to ask if you mean it?"

Gao Jing frowned and said, "I haven't asked clearly yet, how is it possible?"

"Then I will investigate." Yu Wenhua stood up and left after speaking, as if oiling the soles of his feet, fearing that if he took a step too late, he would be held accountable again.

Seeing him disappearing outside the hall, Helan Mingyue said solemnly: "Now King Ji is still in trouble, he really can't die... why don't you ask him sooner, lest you have long nights and dreams."

"He's willing to do it all, but even if he wants to die, he has to explain the cause and effect. I will send him to Yaguan, and let him hang on the city wall for three days and three nights or have his blood splattered eight feet!" Gao Jing sighed after finishing speaking. From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of the Empress Dowager going away outside, and pushed He Lan, "The Empress has left, you should go see General Xu."

He Lan responded: "Then... what are you doing now?"

Gao Jingli should have a lot of things waiting to be dealt with, but he sat comfortably in the wheelchair, and the half-new fur cape was still hanging on his knees: "Me? I'm waiting for you here."

"... nonsense."

"When you meet someone, you can meet here. You can read the watch here too—I have a sense of proportion." Gao Jing raised his head and looked around at the decoration, rubbing his shoulders and said, "Besides, the big things are not as important as you."

He Lan Mingyue didn't speak, stretched out her leg and kicked Gao Jing, and walked away amidst his specious cries of pain.

The side hall was not too luxuriously decorated because it was a temporary resting place. At this time, two female doctors and an imperial doctor were ordered to serve Xu Xin. As soon as they entered, there was a strong smell of medicine.

He had never seen Xu Xin like this.

Although the times of meeting and getting along are not many, Xu Xin is always in good spirits every time.At this time, her lips were pale and her face was bloodless, her hair was loosely tied behind her head, and the weather in early autumn was not too cold, so she even covered her with a brocade quilt to keep her warm.

Seeing that she was weak, Helan Mingyue knew that she had the idea of ​​mortal death with the knife, so she couldn't ask her for a moment.

Xu Xin, on the other hand, opened his eyes after hearing the voice of communication, and followed him all the way until he sat down.She stretched out a faintly blue hand, and Helan Mingyue obediently held it.

"The bright moon is coming..." The voice still sounded weak, but fortunately, it was more energetic.

He Lan Mingyue nodded: "Aunt Xu looks pretty good."

Xu Xin laughed: "It still hurts, but I feel more cheerful when I see you, and I feel that the incision is not so uncomfortable. You see, the empress dowager and I chatted a lot just now, which made you wait outside."

"It should be." He Lan Mingyue said, and asked her recent situation with concern, "Why did you do that at that time?"

Xu Xin shook his head slowly: "I just... didn't think about it for a while. In that case, Gao Hong is going crazy. I can't be his... tool to threaten you."

He Lan Mingyue's tone became more serious: "You can't gamble with your life."

"Got it." Xu Xin felt the warmth of his palm, and for some reason his nose was sour, "It won't happen again next time. Look, isn't the dust settling soon?"

"Gao Hong will give a result after the trial." He Lan Mingyue thought for a while, and decided to tell Xu Xin about the matter first, "Gao Jing promised that when the truth came to light, he would commit the crime for He Lan's unjust case." Edict."

"This..." Xu Xin was very surprised, "Can he do this?"

He Lan Mingyue nodded: "I didn't think of it either, but since his attitude is firm, I have no position to say anything."

Xu Xin quickly understood: "He is for you."

Helan Mingyue just smiled shallowly, without denying it.Xu Xin was held by him, and he held his fingers weakly, with a gentle expression on his face: "It's good, the previous grievances can end here... It's not that you can write it off, but people can't carry the deep hatred of the past for a lifetime, What do you say?"

"Yes. I thought, if he really has a heart, I will know this time."

Xu Xin put his other hand on the back of Helan Mingyue's hand with difficulty and patted it: "Actually... at that time... I regretted giving you that piece of tiger talisman. The meaning behind it is so important. I was worried that you would misuse it if you knew it." .At that time, I actually didn't know what you were like. Now it seems that this worry is too much, Mingyue, you are very good."

"Because I don't care?"

Xu Xin smiled deeper: "That's why, it's safer in your hands."

The token that could mobilize the Pingcheng Tiewei, Helan Mingyue thought it was just his father's inheritance, so he took good care of it as a souvenir.His mind is pure and kind, even if one day he knows that the relationship is important, he will never act recklessly.

He Lan Mingyue may be a bit cowardly in the eyes of many people, he will not object to what the rest of the colleagues say, and sometimes even shows some womanly benevolence, rashly forgiving the perpetrators in inappropriate places.But if he didn't have such a personality, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. Yinzhou, Pingcheng, and even now are like this.

Xu Xin unconditionally believes that he will be as transparent as Helan Maojia, or even more transparent than Helan Maojia.

"What's Aunt Xu going to do next?"

Xu Xin was stunned by his question, and his smile was tinged with bitterness: "After recovering from the injury? I don't know. It depends on how His Majesty will deal with it. I am not innocent."

He Lan said: "There is a place that would be very suitable for Aunt Xu."

Amid Xu Xin's curiosity, he told her about Liu Zhongcheng, the moonless moon when it snows, those mysterious languages, and the wonderful rules set by Wan Lixia.

The first female general of this dynasty is a strange woman with open mind. Hearing his description, Xu Xin couldn't help yearning for that oasis: "It's really so amazing? Then I really want to go and see it."

He Lan Mingyue said: "I planned to go back to Saibei after the matter is over... Sooner or later there will be a fight with Rouran. No matter me, Gao Jing or my cousin, I want to take back Longcheng."

Cessing land and seeking peace was the shame of the past, and He Lanmingyue also faintly felt that there was something hidden behind Longcheng.

"But now His Majesty will not be willing to let you go, so you should spend more time with him." Xu Xin sighed, "You are not in Beijing, so I don't know that he has had a very hard time in the past three years."

"So let's take a look." He Lanmingyue felt sore when he thought of Gao Jing, "When Aunt Xu recovers from your injury, it happens that fourth uncle's son is planning to go back to Yinzhou City, so I will accompany you to settle down there. You want to settle down in Yinzhou City? In Zhouzhou, my father left a large palace, and I will teach you the business of the escort agency; if you go to Liuzhong City, you must chat with your sister-in-law more, you must hit it off very well."

As he said, Xu Xin nodded frequently, and his thoughts had already flown to the land where Helan Maojia lived and fought.

They also chatted about many anecdotes outside the Great Wall, such as the blossoming of white jacarandas and the moonlight in Liu Zhongcheng.

After hearing that, Xu Xin suddenly said: "In the past, Si Tianjian's divination was a storm, do you think it still makes sense?"

"I can't believe it."

Xu Xin smiled: "In this case, I think of the legends I heard in Beiting... At that time, I liked to search everywhere for strange stories, which I heard from a respectable old man in Bingzhou."

"what?"

"The Helan clan in Longxi was just a prairie tribe of about [-] households at first. They lived by water and grass. They had no ambition and did not follow anyone. Occasionally, one day, the leader of the tribe passed a stream and saw silver-white flowers blooming on the bank. The Milky Way on the ground is very beautiful. The leader thought it was cute and wanted to take a closer look, but when he got close to the water, he saw that the flowers did not take root in the soil, but the moonlight reflected in the stream spread all the way to the shore There was a gentle breeze and waves, and flowers bloomed like stars. The leader couldn't help but plucked a flower and put it in the stream, and the moonlight melted immediately, and a goddess came out of the water."

Xu Xin paused, then continued: "Later, the leader fell in love with the goddess, and the two of them migrated with the water plants again. After walking through the desert and snow-capped mountains, they arrived at an oasis. The lake in the oasis was also shining with silver and piled up with white sand. They built A city, the whole body is white and looks like the coldness on the ground. Since then, the leader and the goddess have settled here, taking a mountain behind the river valley as their surname, and every summer, white flowers bloom in the city, like a fairyland - that mountain is called Helan."

"this is not……"

"Look, Baicheng, Moonlight, and that kind of flower, don't they have something in common?" Xu Xin smiled, "So what Si Tianjian said, 'the bright moon shines on the White City' may really refer to something."

Helan Mingyue has never believed in these things, seeing her pious and gentle eyes, she also said: "Maybe, it depends on human effort."

It's man-made.

First went to Yinzhou and then to Luoyang, up to now, Helan Mingyue has never believed in gods.It's just that the sky is always there, maybe there is really some blessing in the dark.

For example, when Gao Jing met him, why didn't he see silver flowers in the stream for the first time and live here?

At the end of the chat, Xu Xin was a little tired. He remembered that Gao Jing was still waiting in the side hall, so he got up to leave.

Xu Xin stopped him, and while Mingyue leaned over to listen, he tapped his forehead: "Do you think the general also dreamed of a goddess descending to earth, so he named you 'Mingyue'?"

"That might be a sweet dream." He Lan Mingyue smiled and covered Xu Xin with a quilt.
