637 8 too late in this life
Gao Chengxuan looked at her, again under the moonlight, and the two stood close to each other. "Xiwan, long time no see, don't you have anything to say to me?" After all, he was not as calm and rational as she was. Say "Mother", and then
He couldn't call her out anymore, so he still called her "Xiwan", just like before. His eyes looked at her without blinking.
"It's better not to see each other now. Prince, you should cherish the person in front of you. The princess is a gentle and lovely woman, and she deserves your cherishment." If you are together, as long as he is willing to accept the princess, you will definitely live a good life.
of.
Gao Chengxuan didn't want to hear these words, "Xiwan, I have always wanted you to be my princess. I have always wanted you to be my princess. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable. If I had known this, I should have told you my feelings earlier."
"Have you forgotten that my marriage was decreed by the emperor. It is useless whether you say it sooner or later." Because the emperor would not agree, he would definitely stop them from getting married. So, he even said
What's the use of confessing your love early. They can't be together. And neither Xiwan nor she can truly care about her family.
After all, if she alone implicates the entire family, how can they be worthy of them? So, in fact, they are destined not to be together because there is always an emperor standing in the way.
Gao Chengxuan understood what she said, and couldn't help but feel a trace of resentment in his eyes. Just because he was the emperor, he could do whatever he wanted. Is it really impossible for them to be together? He didn't believe it, and he wasn't willing to do it. But
, he really couldn't stop anything. Unless, no, he couldn't do that. No, Gao Chengxuan thought of some possibility and immediately shook his head and rejected it.
Shen Lian didn't know why he shook his head. She just glanced at him and walked forward. She also withdrew her hand, passed by Gao Chengxuan, and walked to the front hall. The palace maid took a look at the situation here.
, also came over immediately and followed the empress. They went back to the front hall together, but Gao Chengxuan came back staggeringly after a while.
Someone at the table was making fun of him, saying that he was so drunk that he couldn't do it. Today, he must accompany them to drink to the end. Gao Chengxuan was depressed in his heart, but he kept smiling on his face. He responded that he would definitely accompany them tonight.
To the end. Drink with them to the end, never leaving first. After saying that, he walked over to them and started drinking with them.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is drinking to drown his sorrows. For example, the person next to her is the emperor. "My dear concubine, I feel that Prince Xuan is not very happy. He is drinking to drown his sorrows."
"Your Majesty, I think Prince Xuan is too happy, that's why he keeps drinking. You see, how high his spirits and excitement are." After hearing her words, the emperor looked at her in surprise. He greeted her.
It was her who was talking and laughing calmly, and there was nothing unusual about her, so the emperor said nothing more. Maybe, how could it be possible, how could Gao Chengxuan be too happy today.
The woman he married today was a woman he didn't like. The one he liked was no longer available. He could only look at her but not touch her. How could he be happy under such circumstances?
However, the emperor didn't say anything more, which was regarded as acquiescing to her words. He had been sipping the wine lightly, so he was not drunk. On the contrary, Gao Chengxuan was so drunk that he could not stand up after a while. At this time, someone
I'm trying to persuade him to go back to his new house as soon as possible. The new princess is still waiting for him. But he can't really get drunk. Then the princess will blame them.
These people have been persuading him to drink. It would be bad if he really got drunk. They would feel embarrassed if they disturbed someone else's wedding night.
Therefore, seeing how drunk he was and his body was already swaying, they stopped persuading him to drink. Some people were still persuading him to go back to his new house. Let the attendants support him and go back quickly. But Gao Chengxuan didn't want to
He went back and continued to drink with them outside. He dragged those people and refused to let them leave. He kept shouting that he wanted to drink.
After they tried to persuade him for a while, but to no avail, they stopped trying. So they continued drinking until Gao Chengxuan was so drunk that he fell down on the table and became motionless. So at this time, an attendant came over and helped him.
Got up and went to the new house.
The emperor took her to a villa arranged by Gao Chengxuan in advance to stay for one night. As soon as they entered the room, the emperor asked the others to leave and just stay in the yard. There were only two of them in the room. "Love."
Concubine, you seem to be in a low mood. Today is the wedding of Prince Xuan, aren't you happy for him?"
"Of course I'm happy for the prince, but I never like such lively places. Your Majesty, you know that." Shen Lian sat down by the bed, and the emperor also sat down beside him.
"It is said that beauty is like jade. Even if it is jade, it will warm up if you hold it in your hand for a long time. I wonder when this beautiful jade, my concubine, will really warm up." Listening to his pointed words,
Shen Lian just looked at him indifferently. In front of him, her smile and anger were both faint and shallow. As he said, she was as cold as a piece of jade.
Shen Lian came to the table, poured a cup of tea and gave it to him. "Your Majesty, please drink some water to moisten your throat." She chose to avoid answering what he just said. The emperor understood what she meant and also
No more forcing. Forget it, they have a long time ahead.
Human beings are not grass and trees, their hearts are made of flesh. One day, she will be moved.
They only stayed at the Prince's Mansion for one night, and early the next morning, they set off back to the capital. After all, it would take another five or six days on the road. When they left, the Princess came to see them off. It was said that the Princess was here to see them off.
The king drank too much last night and can't wake up now. She can only send the emperor and the empress off, and I hope they will forgive me.
The new princess is generous and decent, and every word and deed is gentle and courteous. The emperor will naturally not blame him, "Actually, it was me who failed to stop the prince last night and drank too much, causing the princess to stay alone in the empty room. Now, with you, princess
It's enough to see you off. Princess, don't blame the prince, he is too happy."
"I don't dare, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty." The princess said quickly, how dare she blame the Emperor.
Shen Lian stayed aside and remained silent. Later, they boarded the Dragon Boat Festival and left slowly. After a while, when she opened the curtain and looked back, the princess and her group were still standing there. She looked to the other side
, but saw a man and a horse, also looking this way. It's him, he's still here. Brother Chengxuan, please take care of yourself.
She slightly opened her red lips and said these words silently. Because there was someone around her, she didn't dare to say it out loud. She could only look at him like this, gradually go away, and then lowered the curtain.
Gao Chengxuan, a man and a horse, stopped not far away. On the other side, he looked in the direction of the carriage. He saw that the curtain of the carriage was lifted, it was her, it was Xiwan. She was also looking at him, and he saw her lips
She was moving, but I didn't know what she said. Gradually, the curtain of the carriage was lowered, and the group of people gradually moved away until they disappeared.
He then rode his horse and returned to the city. Xiwan, I will always guard you, always.
When Shen Lian returned to the palace, he began to live boring days again, just waiting and looking forward to the arrival of that day in that year. Finally, a few years later, Gao Chengxuan's death in the original plot was about to happen. Here we are. With one month to go before that day, Shen Lian started to take action. She had to prepare a fake death drug first, which she had to hide from everyone, especially the emperor.
She had paid attention to it before, and finally, a few days later, she got the bottle of fake death medicine. She hid it carefully, and then she began to plan what kind of reason she could find to allow her to go to the border.
During the original plot of Xi Wan, she had already rushed out desperately. At that time, the emperor knew that she would not be able to make it in time, so he let her go. This time, she would definitely not be able to rush out early. Wait. , her people can't go, but the medicine can be sent by someone else. When the time comes, she will learn like the original owner Xi Wan, and rush out desperately in grief.
Thinking about it, the emperor would let her go at that time, because it was too late for her to go there. Therefore, he would agree and let her go and take a last look at Gao Chengxuan.
Therefore, she could find a trustworthy person to deliver the bottle of medicine to Gao Chengxuan first. Then, when the day came, she would rush over and it would be too late. When the time came, Gao Chengxuan faked his death, and she said she would deliver it to him. His last journey. I think the emperor will agree to it. If he can use that time to send the coffin out of the city, she can go with him.
Then send them away first. As for herself, she can find another opportunity before leaving the palace. If she leaves without coming back, other people will be implicated. Therefore, she must turn back first, and then find an opportunity to leave the palace. However, Who should she find to deliver the medicine? Moreover, she had to write a letter and give it to Gao Chengxuan. Otherwise, she was afraid that he would not believe it and would not take it.
She struggled with this matter for several days, and finally one day she found a suitable candidate. She sent the bottle of medicine to the border city and asked someone to explain her intention.
In the end, she did not choose to write a letter. If the letter fell into someone else's hands, she would be alerted. So, she chose to send a verbal message, but she brought one of her hairpins with her. Gao Chengxuan recognized this hairpin, and he would believe it. People's words. Shen Lian looked at that person, getting further and further away, and said in his heart, I hope everything goes well.
A few days later, the man who delivered the medicine came back. He said that Prince Xuan didn't say anything, but just asked him to give her a piece of jade. Shen Lian took the piece of jade and asked the man to leave. Got off.
This person was not from the palace, but from her family. That day, he came to visit her on behalf of her father and mother. This person had been in their family for many years, and his behavior , worthy of her belief. Therefore, Shen Lian took the risk and gave him the medicine and asked him to deliver it. Now, Shen Lian holds what he brought back in the palm of his hand.
She turned around and returned to her dormitory silently, waiting for that day to come. She remembered that Xiwan heard these words at the door of the imperial study. The emperor planned to give poison to Prince Xuan and ordered him to She committed suicide by taking poison in the palace. So, she desperately left the palace. Now, Shen Lian pretended to be here again and eavesdropped.
