Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Secret

More than half a month passed quickly, and Chang Gong came to visit Xiao Wan almost every day.Even though Gao Zhan made indirect remarks several times, she didn't pay attention.At this time, she didn't care so much at all.To her, Xiao Wan was a very special existence, like a father, like an older brother, like a younger brother, like a friend, in short, it was an absolutely indispensable existence in her life. Under her comfort, Xiao Wan, who had been furious all this time, finally calmed down slowly. That night, the wind suddenly blew up in Ye City.When the sky was bright, Chang Gong got up and came to the courtyard, and found that a row of silver osmanthus in the corner of the courtyard had been blown away countless times.Those tiny silvery flowers withered quietly last night, and occasionally there was a breeze, so these dead, still beautiful flowers fluttered and fell down without exception.Falling in a place that can be reached within one's ability, it is like winter, covered with a shallow layer of depressing snow.

Chang Gong bent down and picked up a handful of fallen flowers. Those tiny flowers rustled between her fingers, as if announcing the end of life.Maybe because too many things happened recently, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fatigue. "My lord, are you feeling sorry for the departure of these flowers?" A beautiful voice sounded from behind her. She didn't look back because she knew who it was. "Xiaoyu, why did you wake up so early?" The person behind him smiled tenderly, "Everyone said how fierce and vicious King Lanling is, like Shura reincarnated, killing people like hemp. If those people see the prince like this, his jaw will drop." In Gaofu After living in the house for a few days, Feng Xiaoyu also became acquainted with Chang Gong.At the beginning, she did not expect at all that King Lanling, who is known as the god of war, would have a personality that was completely inconsistent with this title.

Chang Gong smiled faintly, "What about King Lanling, he may not be able to protect the people he wants to protect." "My lord, are you still worried about the King of Hejian? He is a man of good fortune, so he will be fine." Xiaoyu suppressed her smile, "You burned the slave's contract of sale as soon as you came back, and you are so kind to the slave, you and the King of Hejian They are all good people. The Buddha will definitely bless the good people." "Thank you, Xiaoyu." Chang Gong pursed his lips, "When my third brother's matter is resolved, I will send someone to take you back, or if you want to stay in Yecheng, I will help you buy a Residence, if you want to bring your sister, you can, anyway, you are free now."

"Thank you, my lord..." She replied in a low voice. When Chang Gong came to the gate of the palace, he saw a small cart approaching slowly and stopped in front of her.When the curtain was lifted, it was Hulu Hengjia who came down.She felt angry when she saw him, and immediately turned around and left.Suddenly I heard him say something in a low voice behind him, "Chang Gong, I will wait for you at the northwest corner of the palace gate after the court today." Chang Gong was taken aback for a moment, ignored him, and walked straight into the palace.I was a little confused in my heart, this fox, I don't know what the hell is going on...

Not long after, the emperor arrived.Chang Gong intuitively felt that something was wrong. Although she was separated by the white jade bead curtain, she could still vaguely see that Uncle Jiu's face was ashen, so gloomy that it made people feel frightened. In the court meeting, as if they had agreed, several ministers asked the emperor to deal with King Hejian as soon as possible. One is not to put the King of Hejian to death.Chang Gong stood there quietly, but his face was abnormally calm. It turned out that after the anger reached the extreme, it would return to calm again, and then be replaced by a deep sorrow.The people here, many people, or it can be said that most people, hope that the third brother will disappear... She suddenly felt very powerless, very tired, and very disappointed.She is guarding this country, trying her best to guard everything, but these guarded people are determined to kill her brother... All of them are people who only think about themselves. But at this time, they can't avoid it. In order to draw a clear line, they want to add insult to injury and kill them all.

The aloof emperor just listened to those people taking turns admonishing him with a blank face, without saying anything, and without expressing his opinion. "Your Majesty," another person said, "Hejian Wang Gao Xiaowan conspired against him, and the evidence is clear. However, the clan is bloody, and His Majesty can forgive his heirs. Besides, Lanling King Gao Changgong bravely defended against the enemy. Although Gao Xiaowan was unruly, his brother It’s still the country’s dry city!” The man’s eyes turned, and he glanced coldly at the few people who had just said about the clan’s punishment, “Could it be possible that some adults will take the place of King Lanling to fight?”

Those people trembled all over, and they didn't dare to say anything anymore. Chang Gong looked at the person who spoke, and was even more shocked in his heart. It turned out that the person was Zhao Jun Wang Gao Rui who fought bloody together in the Jinyang defense battle. Although he did not speak for Xiao Wan, he spoke for Xiao Wan. The family talked.In this world where everyone protects themselves, he has done his best. Chang Gong nodded slightly at him. She will keep what happened today in her heart, and she will definitely repay him when she has the opportunity in the future.But at the same time, a more intense sadness hits my heart. At this time, Heng Jia, who has always been close to Xiao Wan, has never said a word, as if he is completely out of the matter, so cold that it is chilling.

"But what King Zhao Jun said is not entirely true." Her voice became a little hoarse due to the anger and urgency of the past few days. As soon as she uttered her voice, the white jade bead curtain in front of the emperor moved slightly. She cleared her throat and continued, "The so-called evidence is nothing more than the discovery of some weapons. No one knows whether these weapons were there in the first place or were deliberately put in by someone with a heart. The evidence is clear? I can also say that someone took the opportunity to frame the crime and intend to murder the king of Hejian." She turned to Gao Zhan, "The emperor please investigate clearly."

Gao Zhan's eyes flickered coldly, and he said in a voice without any emotion, "If there is nothing else, let's retreat today, and we will discuss this matter tomorrow." Chang Gong froze for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Gao Zhan, just bumped into his brown eyes under the bead curtain, as if he had touched the icy lake water for a moment, strands of chill lingered and permeated his whole body. The look in Uncle Jiu's eyes was so terrifying... Her heart sank, did Uncle Jiu find any evidence against Third Brother? After going to court, she didn't want to see Heng Jia at all, but planned to go straight to Gao Zhan.Just as her thoughts turned, Wang Ge walked over with a smile, "Prince Lanling, the emperor is waiting for you in Zhaoyang Hall, and we have something to discuss."

She felt even more disturbed, could it be her own guess... She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and followed Wang Ge towards Zhaoyang Hall in a hurry. When he arrived at Zhaoyang Hall, Chang Gong saw that Uncle Jiu had changed into a red conch robe, leaning on the couch, holding a teacup, as if he was thinking about something. "Uncle Jiu, did you receive any news?" She asked straight to the point. Gao Zhan glanced at her, took out something from his arms, and said coldly, "This is the contract document that Gao Xiaowan left at the seller when he bought weapons in the south last year. Look carefully, there is Gao Xiaowan's seal on it .”

Chang Gong quickly picked it up, and it really clearly stated the quantity of purchased weapons, and even the date was written clearly, and when she saw the seal again, she suddenly felt a bang in her head, shaking her voice. It exploded into pieces, "No, it's impossible, my third brother will never buy weapons, and this contract may be fake!" "As far as I know, no one can fake Gao Xiaowan's seal. Moreover, I have checked that he happened to go to the south at that time. What else can I say?" Gao Zhan lowered his eyes, "Chang Gong , it seems that he really has the heart of rebellion." "No, Uncle Nine, no! There must be something wrong!" After saying this, her voice trembled slightly, her head seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and she was drowsy.Why can't I calm down every time I encounter something with someone I care about. "Chang Gong, you have lost a lot of weight recently. Your complexion is also very bad, you must have not slept well," Gao Zhan interrupted her, and looked at her meaningfully, "This will affect a person's judgment." Chang Gong looked at him straight, the coldness seeping into his blood was tangled in confusion and evaporated into an uncontrollable trembling.Her entire body was trembling, as if her heart had been pulled out of her body in an instant.Uncle Jiu, what does this mean?What he meant was that he believed that the third brother really wanted to rebel?No, no, the third brother didn't rebel at all, why should he be charged with this crime!This is not the case at all! She wants to calm down, she really wants to calm down, she knows better than anyone else, if you don't calm down, you can't find any flaws, if you don't calm down, you can't save the third brother, she can be calm before thousands of troops, but now she just does it No, she couldn't calm down when she thought that the third brother was charged with this crime! "Uncle Jiu, do you still remember the Battle of Jinyang? My third brother also recommended King Zhao Jun, who has always been at odds with him. As a result, King Zhao Jun also made a lot of contributions that time. If my third brother has objections , how could he do this? Also, my third brother was stationed in Yecheng at that time, if he really wanted to rebel, why didn’t he rebel then, isn’t that the best time?” Gao Zhan frowned, Chang Gong's words were not unreasonable, but how to explain this contract?Thinking of Gao Xiaowan's usual temper, he couldn't help saying coldly, "At that time, Da Qi was facing foreign enemies, and it was not a good time to rebel. Besides, Gao Xiaowan never took me seriously, and even dared to hide the relic of the Buddha tooth. With his temper, what else is he afraid to do?" "Uncle Jiu, yes, my third brother is usually a bit arrogant, but he will never do such a treasonable thing. If someone wants to put him to death, steal his seal, and fake this Contracts are also possible!" "Chang Gong, you are really tired. Go and have a good rest." Gao Zhan showed a look of tiredness on his face, and waved his hand, indicating that she could step back. Chang Gong stood there looking at him, the dim light made him look extremely cold and cruel, with a hint of bloodlust.The ruthlessness and viciousness with which he killed those brothers and nephews suddenly appeared in her mind. Thinking of the tragic death of her elder brother, she couldn't help but panic even more. She stepped forward suddenly, knelt down with a plop, and grabbed his robe Hem, the strength is astonishing, as if using all the strength, and even more strength... repeating over and over again, "Please, Uncle Jiu, don't hurt him, don't hurt him. Please, please Don't hurt him..." Listening to her begging again and again, Gao Zhan stood motionless and looked at her, his brown eyes were silent in her begging, the sudden heartache made his body so stiff that he couldn't breathe. She was afraid, she was so afraid of him, afraid that he would hurt the relative she cared about most. Perhaps in Chang Gong's heart, the position of the relative he cares about the most is not - reserved for him. "Chang Gong, I remember your wish, I always remember it." He opened his mouth slowly, "He will live."
