It's just that after looking at this little thing in my hand for a long time, it seems... quite pleasing to the eye.
Look at its silly smile...is that so?
Reflecting the eyes of the porcelain doll, a touch of tenderness passed through without leaving any trace. Zhao Changyuan, who couldn't help but poke the ever-smiling face, followed what he was thinking in his heart, and slowly broke into a smile that was almost exactly the same as it.
.
After a while, Zhao Changyuan, whose face muscles became stiff, frowned as if he had just come back to his senses. He was puzzled by his crazy behavior. He put the doll aside distractedly and ran away.
Practice sword practice in the courtyard.
In this long and difficult night, if anyone is still awake, you will be lucky enough to see a handsome figure beside the heart lake, holding a sword and dancing with sweat.
...
The passing geese leave their voices, and the passing water leaves their traces. With such a big movement, the palace, which has always been quick to convey news, will naturally be affected.
"oh?"
After hearing the report from the people around him, Mr. Ruyu, who was playing with the chessboard, suddenly stopped. "Is he really willing to give it up?"
Seeing the sarcasm gradually showing in his eyes, Juan couldn't help but lower his head.
The information he collected was always correct. But he didn't expect that the man who seemed to have a deep affection for the Prime Minister's daughter and had a soft spot for the Prime Minister's daughter, and had even paid a lot for her, would have such a change of heart.
So fast. Maybe even everything before was just an illusion.
Feeling a bit funny and a bit mocking, She Jue couldn't help but said quietly: "Relying on a woman to fight back is really a heroic move."
Juan, who was silent on the side and was only loyal to him, had no reaction after hearing this. He was the best sword, and the only thing he could do for his master was attack and defense.
"Do you think that since Gong Cheng is gone, you can do whatever you want?"
Shejue, who unconsciously murmured what was deep in his heart, couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth and smiled foolishly. He smiled so much that even Jun beside him had to lower his head due to the pressure of the yin energy.
He knew something was about to start again...
...
"Pavilion Master, do you really want to marry Princess Sai'an in half a month?" Luo Qi thought for a long time and finally expressed his doubts to the man in front of him.
"This is His Majesty's will."
Hao Shenying responded to him with a calm tone, and no trace of fluctuation could be heard. But Luo Qi could still see something flickering in his eyes.
At this scene, the love-crazed face of his sister could not help but appear in his mind... Luo Qi, who had always secretly envied Hao Shenying's strength in the past, now felt a little sympathy for this man.
It must be very painful to feel all the pain of not being able to be with the one you love.
Even in the eyes of outsiders, he already lacks nothing.
With a pain in his heart and an unconscious smile, Luo Qi slowly clenched his right hand into a fist and slowly lowered his head.
What he didn't know as he stared at the porcelain cup on the table was distracted and he was gradually losing his concentration was that the eyes of the person opposite him had never left him.
Hao Shenying looked at Luo Qi without saying a word, and a strange color flashed across his deep eyes.
at the same time--
In the court hall of the Gu Yuan Dynasty, a group of ministers who may have just returned from Duke Zhou were looking ahead. Even in the cold and sleepy early winter, they were full of energy, waiting for the emperor to give orders.
Compared with them, who were energetic and lively, the man on the dragon chair looked even more absent-minded. He glanced at the people below with a vague glance, and even if he inadvertently passed by a few very rare figures, Emperor Yuan could not afford to hit him.
Not even remotely interested.
What's so good about living like this day after day, year after year?
It stands to reason that it is normal for people to have the thought of giving up on themselves occasionally. But if it occurs in a king... at a small scale, the people will not be able to survive, at a big scale, the country will be destroyed and people will be destroyed.
Emperor Gu Yuan naturally knew better than anyone else what consequences this would bring. Even though he couldn't eliminate the boredom in his heart, he didn't show it stupidly. He just quietly flipped through the pile of memorials in front of him.
, while responding to the questions raised by the people below. Seeing that the courtier had reported all the messy and trivial matters, he pushed him back as usual, wanting to declare the dispersal of the court.
Only this time, something unexpected happened.
"To inform my father, I have something important to tell you!"
Seeing the silent person in the audience, who had not seen him for half a year, Emperor Gu Yuan hesitated a little, silently retracted the idea of continuing to leave, glanced at the high-pitched person below, and said: "Oh?
Yu'er, what's important? Why don't you present the memorial to the eunuch?"
"Because the news came in such a hurry, I was unable to report it in time. This is due to my negligence. I hope my father will not take offense. According to reliable information, Gong Cheng, the daughter of the Prime Minister, mysteriously disappeared a few months ago."
As soon as the eloquent She Yu finished his words, Gong Shizhong and Xiang Yan present had stern expressions on their faces and glanced at him in disbelief.
"Yu'er said so, but there is conclusive evidence?" Only Emperor Gu Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, still had an indifferent attitude towards this.
"Yes!" As if he felt how proud he was to get Emperor Gu Yuan's response, She Yu continued with his eyes brightening: "Erchen has conclusive evidence, and that evidence is in Hao
The six sons of the family are in the private residence of Jinling City. As long as the father searches for it, the truth will naturally come out." Finally, after thinking that it might not be possible to gain Emperor Gu Yuan's trust immediately with just a few words, She Yu also added very considerately: "This is
But it was reported by Erchen’s special informant!"
After saying this, he waited for Emperor Gu Yuan's reply with gleaming eyes. This made some of the old ministers who looked at the somewhat sluggish figure of She Yu already dumbfounded.
How could this fourth prince be so stupid? Didn't he expose the fact that he was secretly monitoring a prince-in-law who was about to ascend to power?
However, Pardon himself seemed unaware of this and still smiled confidently.
Even She Jue, who was in front of all the ministers, couldn't help but be a little stunned.
How did my fourth brother survive all these years?
There was a hint of mocking helplessness in his dim eyes.
This allowed Gong Shizhong, who was standing at a distance of three people to his left and secretly looked at him immediately after the incident, to successfully capture the hint of malicious intent. I guess this matter not only concerns his innocent daughter, but also the intention.
Gong Shizhong, who was slightly angry in his heart, couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Your Majesty, I can honestly say that what the fourth prince said is true. Cheng'er is indeed not in the mansion. But she did not disappear mysteriously as the fourth prince said. The little girl just went to Wuling Mountain more than a month ago.
I was eating fast and chanting sutras in the Changsheng Temple to pray for His Majesty and the old ministers. I didn’t want to stir up trouble and disturb the public, so I didn’t announce it to the public."
Hearing She Yu's sharp words, Xiang Yan, who was hiding among the courtiers and trying to fade out his presence as much as possible, was stunned. When he saw the probing look from Emperor Gu Yuan, he couldn't help but feel tight in his heart. (
