Gao Yao stood with his hands behind his back, standing outside the palace. The servants and maids passing by all greeted him respectfully. It was not because of the green robe he was wearing, nor because he was tall and handsome, but because there was a man squatting on his shoulders.
Cat playing with luminous pearls.
That night pearl is bigger than a kitten's head.
As we all know, there is only one cat in Xianyang Palace.
After a while, a group of palace maids came out of the palace, headed by Xiaoyue.
"Xiaoyue, you look so good today."
"Xiaoyue, you are so beautiful today?"
As long as you or your family have power, money or power, the world will be filled with goodwill.
Xiaoyue smiled and enjoyed the compliments of her companions. This was something she had never thought about before, how could a person like herself in the mud have the life she has now.
Every night when she goes to bed, she seems to feel like she is dreaming, and sometimes she wakes up suddenly, fearing that everything she has now will disappear.
"Brother!" When she saw the familiar figure outside the hall, Xiaoyue was a little excited and rushed towards him.
"Brother, what have you been busy with lately? I miss you so much!"
"Hey!" Gao Yao answered with a smile on his face. It seemed like it had been a long time since Gao Lan had called him so affectionately since he graduated from university.
Now, he seems to have everything he wants, family, friendship, and love.
"Greetings to the senior manager, my lord Tmall!" The other maids greeted respectfully.
"Yeah~" Gao Yao replied reservedly.
"Meow~" Miao Le waved his tail.
After the palace maid left, Xiaoyue pulled Gao Yao aside and said coquettishly: "Brother, you haven't come to see me for a long time. What have you been busy with recently?"
Gao Yao's body was shaken back and forth, but he enjoyed it very much. He squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Brother, I have been studying Qin's laws recently. I am waiting for a period of time to pass the examination at your Majesty's place, and then I can be promoted."
"That's true~ Congratulations, brother, you are so awesome!" Xiaoyue beamed instantly.
Listening to his sister's praise, Gao Yao held his head high. He felt so comfortable that his soles almost felt like heaven. He felt even more proud. It took him a while to think of business.
"By the way, I came here today to do something important. Tell me honestly, has Concubine Li done anything special recently?" Gao Yao asked.
Xiaoyue thought for a while: "It seems to be nothing special. The queen has always eaten less, and she seems to be eating even less recently, and occasionally she vomits suddenly.
By the way, she doesn't seem to have her period this month." Xiaoyue suddenly thought of a strange place.
Gao Yao was stunned: "Did your Majesty come to Yangxin Hall last month?"
"Come, you come often, but His Majesty always sends us away." Xiaoyue suddenly remembered something and was a little scared: "Brother, Your Majesty is very strong and violent. Several times in the morning we went to help Concubine Li wash up.
By that time, all her clothes were torn and her whole body was covered in scars."
Gao Yao:......
It turns out that Ying Zheng is okay with drinking the strongest wine and playing with the strongest women, right? Now he even wonders if His Majesty has some other purpose in sending troops to attack the Xiongnu.
It is said that those women from foreign lands are the most charming. They don’t want to eat grapes, cattle and sheep, or see the desert scenery over there, right?
"Children should not meddle in adults' affairs! Let me ask you, does she have any other special performance?" Gao Yao said with a serious look on his face.
"Huh? My queen sometimes looks at the moon in the sky alone." Xiaoyue continued. Although her brother was very kind to her, she didn't dare not work hard, so she observed it very carefully.
After all, she is not a biological sister. Who knew that my brother would suddenly stop wanting her that day.
Gao Yao pondered for a moment and nodded: "Understood, you go in and inform Concubine Li. Just tell the kitchen manager, the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple wants to see you."
"Yes!" Xiaoyue nodded and quickly ran into the palace.
After half a cup of tea.
Li Fei curiously looked at Tmall, who was squatting on Gao Yao's shoulders and playing with the luminous pearls by himself: "General Manager Gao, I don't know why you came to see me."
Gao Yao raised his head and took a look. It was purely out of curiosity as a man. He had bright eyes and beautiful eyes. He was really beautiful.
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress. The doctor came to see the empress yesterday and found out that she is pregnant." Gao Yao smiled and bent down to congratulate.
Hearing this, Yu Shu's face turned pale, and a trace of determination seemed to flash in his eyes. This child, a bastard, must not be wanted!
"By the way, Weichen also has some connections over at Black Ice Terrace. I just happened to know something about the situation in Tuan Kingdom recently. Are you interested in hearing about it?" Gao Yao said politely.
Hearing this, Yu Shu felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly thought of his father, younger brother, and the people he had been closest to.
At that time, my father was firmly opposed to the marriage, and even wanted to fight to the death with Da Qin. In the end, he took the initiative to ask for the marriage, just for their safety.
If he and the prince died and Ying Zheng was furious, would Tu An still be there? Would those singing and dancing people still have a chance to dance?
"Say!" Yushu gritted his teeth unconsciously. The more he looked at this high-ranking person, the more disgusting he became.
"So that your Majesty will know that Tu'an, your mother's family, has bowed to me, Great Qin. And because of your relationship, Your Majesty has exempted Tu'an from taxes this year: two thousand cattle and sheep, and two thousand soldiers."
"Oh, for the safety of the people of Tu'an, Your Majesty specially dispatched three thousand cavalry to be stationed near Tu'an to protect them. Your Majesty is so caring and protective of your empress that you really envy others!" Gao Yao slowly explained.
Yu Shu fell silent, closed his eyes, and shed a stream of tears.
She suddenly figured out that since she was born into a royal family and enjoyed the best, she should give something, even freedom and love!
Gao Yao? This name seemed a bit familiar to her. When she was being escorted by Meng Jiajun, she seemed to have heard Yi Xiaochuan say that she came from the same place as him.
Looking around, there was no one around. Yu Shu asked in a deep voice, "Do you know Yi Xiaochuan?"
Gao Yao frowned. The ladies of this era seem to have some problems. Are they all one-brained? For the sake of temporary happiness, would you rather abandon your parents and brothers who you have raised since childhood?
After hesitating for a moment, Gao Yao said: "I know you."
He wanted to see if Yu Shu was normal.
"Well, you can send a letter to Xiaochuan for me and wait until I see the reply. From now on, I will take good care of myself until I give birth to the child!" Yushu said with determination.
"Huh?" After thinking for a while, Gao Yao nodded, that's it.
I have to admit that without Le Ye's help, Yi Xiaochuan would have far surpassed him. He was far inferior to his ability to be able to rely on his big brother wherever he went.
If you keep doing bad things secretly, you might actually get into trouble.
Hearing Gao Yao's promise, Yu Shu was overjoyed to finally be able to talk to her sweetheart again.
"My letter has been specially marked. Please don't open it without permission. If Xiaochuan has a reply, you must give it to me, otherwise don't blame me for taking you to hell with me!" Yushu threatened.
Women go crazy and are more ruthless than anyone else.
"Wei Chen, please retire!" Gao Yao didn't take it seriously. No amount of threats could threaten him. Anyway, the emperor had many sons, so it didn't matter to Ying Zheng if he died.
Even if it is a disaster for the servants and maids, it will not affect him.
Although he is an insignificant official, what is his status now? The royal shit shoveling officer!
With Mr. Le covering him, no one dares to touch him!
Returning to the kitchen, Gao Yao looked at the letter in his hand, observed it for a while, smelled it carefully, and then used his recent mental power to sense it.
It turned out that the envelope was coated with lemonade as an anti-counterfeiting mark.
She opened the letter without hesitation, and there were some greetings inside, as well as expressions of longing for her, and even the idea of asking Xiaochuan to elope with her.
Gao Yao:......
It really makes people speechless when a woman is speechless.
Taking out another piece of white paper, Gao Yao began to imitate Yu Shu's handwriting and tone: "Xiaochuan, I am pregnant, and it belongs to His Majesty... For the safety of me, the child, and you, I hope you will respect yourself.
, don’t tell outsiders about our relationship.
In addition, if possible, I hope you can help me take care of Tuan's people.
There is a kind of love called letting go, this is what you told me!"
After writing the letter, Gao Yao took out a new envelope and coated it with lemon water as it was, perfect.
.....
There was a tavern in Xianyang. Cui Wenzi was drinking happily when Yi Xiaochuan suddenly rushed in and rummaged around the house.
"Old Cui, have you seen my night pearl? Have you seen it?" Yi Xiaochuan asked anxiously.
Cui Wenzi frowned and shook his head: "No."
"Why is it gone? I planned to give it to Yu Shu! The boy cleaning the room must have stolen it!" Yi Xiaochuan was about to go out to inquire.
Cui Wenzi quickly stopped: "Xiaochuan, you have forgotten that your night pearl came from the wrong way."
Yi Xiaochuan stopped then, was startled, squatted down, hugged his head and cried.
"Old Cui, am I useless! I can't protect my woman, I can't save Brother Liu Bang, I can't even save a thing! Woo woo woo!"
"I'm a waste!"
Cui Wenzi on the side nodded, convinced. Originally, he could have had many beautiful things, but he gave them away forcefully. Who can blame him?
"Dong dong dong~" There was a knock on the door, and a boy came in.
"Whose name is Yi Xiaochuan? I have a letter from you. It was sent by the maid in the palace. It's still waiting outside." The servant said.
Hearing that it was a letter from the palace, Yi Xiaochuan instantly came back to life with full health and stood up: "Where is the letter? I, I am Yi Xiaochuan."
After half a cup of tea, Yi Xiaochuan slumped on the chair, feeling despair.
She has a child that is not his, and she also asked him not to tell anyone about his past relationship with her.
After being dazed for a while, Yi Xiaochuan suddenly put his head in his hands and hit the table hard: "Bang bang bang, ahhh!"
He felt like he was going crazy!
Cui Wenzi on the side quickly stepped forward to stop: "Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan!"
After a while, Yi Xiaochuan looked up. There was blood on his forehead and his eyes were blank.
"Old Cui, she has forgotten, she has forgotten the eternal oath she made with me! Now she only thinks about glory and wealth. She even wants me to control the Meng family army as soon as possible and take care of her Tu'an people. She even wants to help her.
In the future, my son will ascend to the throne of prince."
"Why is glory and wealth so important? How could she be so cruel and make so many demands on me! Why should she be so cruel to me!"
"woo woo woo woo!"
The more he thought about it, the sadder Yi Xiaochuan cried.
He used to scumbag so many women, and every time he saw others cry, he would call them pretentious, but now he finally feels what it feels like to be scumbag.
Heartache, it hurts so much!
Cui Wenzi quickly comforted him: "Maybe this letter was sent to you by someone else."
When Yi Xiaochuan heard this, he immediately became energetic. Yes, handwriting can be faked!
He quickly took the envelope and burned it on the candle, only to see clear and beautiful handwriting on the originally blank space: "Ogawa personally sends this letter."
Seeing this, Yi Xiaochuan felt even more painful: "Ah!" and started banging his head against the wall again.
Cui Wenzi sighed, does this mean you will die if you do too much injustice? It seems that even God can't stand it anymore.
"Master Yi, is the maid outside still waiting for a reply?" the servant outside reminded.
Yi Xiaochuan paused, his eyes dimmed, and he gritted his teeth.
"Is this woman so cruel? She has to give me an explanation, right? She has to sever ties with her, right? Okay! I'll give it to you!"
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty!"
After saying that, Yi Xiaochuan took out a piece of rough yellow paper from the bedroom and wrote crooked Qin seal characters on it.
He couldn't afford good white paper, and he had just learned Qin Zhuan, so it naturally didn't look good.
After pouring a cup of tea, Yi Xiaochuan stood up, went out, and found the palace maid outside, whom he didn't recognize at all.
"This is a letter to reply to your empress. Tell her that I, Yi Xiaochuan, don't know the so-called Concubine Li at all! I have no relationship with her at all." Yi Xiaochuan said firmly.
"Wei~" the palace maid took the letter, turned around and left.
"Hey!" Yi Xiaochuan suddenly regretted and shouted, and the palace maid turned her head, a little confused.
Yi Xiaochuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "It's okay!"
Looking at the palace maid's figure slowly disappearing in the crowd, Yi Xiaochuan knew that after this letter, he would never have such a thing as love again.
Just like that, a man with disheveled hair and eyes full of tears stood sluggishly at the door of the tavern, watching the flow of people coming and going.
Some people come and some leave, but no one will stop to wait for him or stop for him.
"Who is this person? Why are you standing here blocking the road?" A guest came in and knocked Yi Xiaochuan aside casually.
"Yeah, you're crazy!" Another guest pushed directly, and Yi Xiaochuan tripped over the railing and fell to the ground.
"Mom, look at that man, he looks like a dog!" The little girl passing by was very simple and pointed.
"Don't talk nonsense, dogs can bite!" The mother quickly pulled the girl away. The child was not good at this, because he didn't know the dangers of the world.
...
Xianyang Palace, Yangxin Palace.
"Li Fei, this is Xiaochuan's reply to you! Please read it." Gao Yao was very polite.
Yu Shu took the letter and was a little suspicious, but she believed it when she saw the words inside. Most people couldn't write such ugly words.
After reading the letter with great anticipation, Yushu burst into tears: "He, he didn't say anything?"
Gao Yao shook his head: "I don't know, it was given by a palace maid. I can ask her to come over and you can ask in person."
"Okay!" Yu Shu still didn't give up. Sometimes love really makes people go to their heads.
Half an hour later, after listening to the palace maid's narration, Yushu was shaking, and Gao Yao quickly stepped forward to hold her up.
"Empress, Longzi is important. The lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people in your plan depend on your thoughts."
Hearing this, Yu Shu looked cold and pushed Gao Yao away: "Okay! I will definitely give birth to Longzi 'well'!"
...
After everyone in the palace retreated, Yu Shu looked at the tall city wall outside the palace that seemed to be endless and remained silent.
We say goodbye and never see each other again, and we finally spend the spring and autumn alone.
We said goodbye but never saw you again!
...
Outside the palace, Gao Yao was a little happy holding the badge handed to him by the steward.
Finally, we can arrange for Susu's family and the Lu family to live in a better prison.
After all, she is my sister-in-law and my father-in-law, so they are much more important than that guy Yi Xiaochuan.
