Jiankang Palace.

In Yitai Palace, accompanied by the sharp cry of the children, the sound of the objects being smashed to the ground was constantly heard.

Zong Zheng, who was ordered to invite King Wuxing to leave the palace to go to the fiefdom, did not dare to enter. The maids and servants knelt outside the hall, trembling, and each was as if they were lost.

"Go and call the Gao family wife to me! I'm not dead yet, so I can't tolerate her being so presumptuous in front of me!"

The voice of rage came from the hall.

It was chilly spring, and Zong Zheng was sweating all over his head.

It was the third time. He was ordered to move the former crown prince who was re-entrusted to King Wuxing from the palace to send him to his fiefdom, but he was obstructed by Empress Dowager Xu.

The first two times, she closed the palace gate and ignored the request. This time, because the limited date has come, he came to urge him again. Queen Dowager Xu became even more violent and made such a big fuss.

If the Empress Dowager was the only one, there would be no fear. What he feared was Xu Mi behind the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager refused to let him go, what could he do? He had to send someone to sue the Queen. While waiting nervously, he saw another wrong golden goblet smashing out of the hall door, and was coming towards him. He hurriedly turned his head to avoid it. The goblet flew past his ears, and with a "bang", it fell onto the palace steps behind him, rolling down, and finally rolled to the edge of a slinging skirt before stopping.

Zong Zheng turned his head and saw that Empress Gao arrived. He was standing there. He breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to pay homage.

Gao Yongrong's two gazes raised from the golden goblet that had been flattened at his feet, stared at Zong Zheng, and said coldly: "What are you doing? But you want me to come too?"

Zong Zheng knelt in a hurry: "I am not brave enough to disturb the queen, but it is the empress dowager who obstructs me. I always want to see the queen. I see the deadline again, so I can't do anything about it."

Gao Yongrong frowned, and Han Ming passed by Zongzheng and walked up to the palace steps. Some people accompanying the palace rushed in and said loudly: "Your Highness the Queen is here-"

The sound of smashing objects in the hall stopped, but the sharp cry of the child continued.

Gao Yongrong walked through the messy ground full of broken porcelain and debris, and the jade edges under her feet made a sound.

She walked into the hall and looked up. She saw Empress Dowager Xu sitting slanted on the couch, hugging King Wu Xing in her arms, with a blue face staring at herself with a cold face. She walked to her, smiled on her face, greeted her, and said, "I have been plagued by miscellaneous things in the palace these days. Although I have been worried about the Empress Dowager, I really have no time to settle. I just saw some movement here. I was afraid that someone would disrespect the Empress Dowager, so I came to leave the matter behind."

She looked around and said, "What's wrong? If anyone dares to disrespect the Empress Dowager and make the Empress Dowager angry, and the Empress Dowager speaks just by speaking, I will definitely advocate for the Empress Dowager."

Now that he is respected as Empress Dowager Xuanyi and moved to this place, Xu said coldly: "I dare not ask you to make a claim. Please give up your hands and let me go, and I will be grateful."

"Wuxing King is young and weak and sickly. I will never ask him to move out! Unless you force me to death, I will only breathe a sigh of relief and you will never try to drive him away from me!"

After she finished speaking, King Wu Xing in his arms cried again.

Gao Yongrong looked panicked: "Was the Empress Dowager criticizing me for saying this? It's not that I cruelly forced you to separate from your mother and son, but that the rules of the ancestors have always been like this. I just follow the rules."

She paused.

"Wuxing is a rich place and has been moved to Wuxing. How can I interfere in such a major matter? Your Majesty listened to the words of the noble prince. He did not expect that the person who did things was not serious, so that the Empress Dowager misunderstood me! Isn't it wrong?"

Xu sneered and said nothing.

Gao Yongrong pondered for a moment, glanced at King Wuxing who was still crying, and smiled and said, "Forget it, since the Empress Dowager said that, I have broken the ancestral system and I can't bear to separate you and your mother and son. I'll ask Gao Xiang to try it. If Gao Xiang is willing to nod, why would I refuse?"

She saluted respectfully to Xu, who was still in black, and then turned around and returned to Taichu Palace where the emperor's imperial study was located.

The court was resting today, and the emperor was not seeing anyone. The palace man said that he had taken the imperial concubine to Hualin Garden.

The emperor stayed in the palace of the imperial concubine last night, and today he traveled to Hualin Garden with the imperial concubine. Gao Yongrong was not displeased at all. However, he narrowed his eyes and walked to the imperial case where the ministers memorials were placed. He slowly flipped over it. Suddenly, he heard the palace servants send a message and said that Gao Xiang had come. He hurriedly folded the memorials back and turned around to greet him.

Today, the court was resting, but Gao Qiao was unable to escape and was still busy in the Taicheng Yamen. He just learned that Empress Dowager Xu refused to let Wu Xing go to the vassal state and entered the palace to see the emperor, but he did not want the emperor to be there.

Gao Yongrong personally welcomed Gao Qiao into the room and frowned and said, "Your Majesty has always been weak. Although he has been to Jiankang for some time, he is still not used to the climate here. It is a cold spring. He stayed up late to review the memorials two days ago, so he was not very good. Today he went to Hualin Garden to cultivate his heart and disperse his nature. If my uncle has something urgent, I will send someone to call His Majesty back."

Gao Qiao also knew that the emperor was lazy by nature when he was the King of Dongyang, so he waved his hand: "Forget it, Your Majesty's health is important. I heard that the Empress Dowager would not let King Wuxing go to the vassal state, do you know?"

Gao Yongrong said: "I was about to tell my uncle about this and listen to my uncle's words. The queen mother made a big fuss and almost hurt Zongzheng. Zongzheng called me away, so I had to go. The queen mother scolded me and forced me to death. Moreover, his highness refused to separate from the queen mother. I was afraid that she would do something extreme, so I could only comfort him and asked King Wuxing to stay with her for the time being. I was about to ask my uncle, is this feasible?"

Although Emperor Xingping and Gao Qiao were separated from the king and his ministers later, he was Xiao Yongjia's younger brother. He was gone and only had such a little bloodline. Xiao Yongjia didn't like this nephew, but he didn't want to see him continue to be manipulated by matriarchal lines. Gao Qiao wanted to follow the ancestral system and arrange for him to vassal Wuxing. First, the local area was rich and could be the King of Anle. Second, the prefect of Wuxing was a disciple of Gao, so that Gao Qiao would inspect the situation to prevent Xu Mi from tying up to the King of Wuxing in the future. However, Empress Dowager Xu acted like this and threatened to death, knowing that she should have been instructed by Xu Mi.

He pondered for a while and said, "I understand. Let's do this for now. In a few days, I will consult His Majesty again."

Gao Yongrong respectfully responded, and insisted on sending Gao Qiao out of the palace in person, saying, "Your Majesty told me last night that he would bother my uncle in everything and that he would be so hard that he was very sorry. He said that even if he was unwell, he would definitely not delay the memorials and court affairs. The niece was even more so. She was grateful and was ashamed. I thought I had not visited my aunt for some time. I missed her very much, but the palace was mixed and I couldn't get rid of her. Please ask my uncle to go back and greet my aunt on my behalf."

Gao Qiao nodded and left.

Gao Yongrong smiled and watched Gao Qiao leave, turned back to Taichu Palace, and entered the side hall.

The close servants took what they had done before and moved all the memorials in front of them.

Gao Yongrong held the pen in his hand, flipped the memorial for a moment, and ordered people to send King Xin'an to come.

After a stick of incense, accompanied by a loud footsteps, a majestic man in gorgeous clothes came in. It was King Xiao Daocheng of Xin'an and saluted her: "I heard that Your Majesty is summoned. Where is Your Majesty?"

Gao Yongrong did not get up or hide the memorial, saying, "Your Majesty is unwell and went to Hualin Garden. I just passed on you to the palace on his behalf, and I have something to discuss."

Xiao Daocheng looked at the beautiful face of the woman opposite and said, "I'm so kind to listen."

Gao Yongrong put his pen down and looked at his close confidants.

Several people retreated, and she and Xiao Daocheng were left in the side hall. The respectful look that had just passed was gone on Xiao Daocheng's face, and he looked at the memorial in front of Gao Yongrong, and smiled and said, "Your Highness is really a hero among the girls. It turns out that all the replies we have seen from the Lord's Highness over the past few days are all based on the hands of your Highness." His tone was already a little frivolous.

Gao Yongrong looked happy, and only glanced at him and smiled: "Are you so angry that this position belongs to you, but you didn't do it? Didn't my uncle strongly recommend you as the prince that day? You resigned yourself, and now I'm blaming me again?"

Xiao Daocheng said nothing, walked to her side, grabbed one of her hands, and then stroked her a few times before being pulled back by Gao Yongrong.

She changed her face, looked angry, and shouted in a low voice: "You are so brave! I thought I was still as good as I used to, and I didn't understand anything. I heard you deceive you with sweet words? If you dare to disrespect me again, I will be rude!"

Xiao Daocheng was stunned and took a step back, but there was no fear in his expression. He only said: "You were the one who had let me down on you back then. I chose His Majesty to enter into a marriage contract. How could I deceive you? Moreover, over the years, you are in Dongyang, and I can stay in Jiankang by virtue of the late emperor's heavy use. When wasn't the news I sent to you? The prince..."

He turned his head, looked behind him, and lowered his voice.

"If it weren't for any accident, the prince was sent to Gao Qiao and his wife this time, I had already made arrangements in the palace. I would just wait for the time to get rid of you so that you can get what you want."

"What do you have to blame for me like this? You have worked hard for His Majesty, but he is neglected by you. I am just not worth it for you. For nothing, if you look down on me, how dare I force you?"

Gao Yongrong sneered: "I seem to owe you countless things. When I asked you to abandon Li Mu, you didn't say anything, and you also made a bad thing for me, almost implicated me and my uncle was suspicious!"

Xiao Daocheng's face turned red: "I looked down on him that time, just accidentally! You can look at him next time!"

Gao Yongrong glanced at him, his face slowly turned and he smiled: "Okay, just a joke, it caused so many complaints. There are so many people in the palace, so you should be careful."

Xiao Daocheng's face also improved, and he whispered, "I know." He stopped teasing Gao Yongrong anymore and asked about King Wuxing.

Gao Yongrong said it again.

Xiao Daocheng's eyes were gloomy: "Xu Mi was not giving up, afraid that the deposed prince would make mistakes after leaving his eyelids, and he also wanted to take the deposed prince in his hand and create momentum in the future." He looked at Gao Yongrong, "My people are still there in the palace over there. If you say that, I can now get rid of him, and I will finish it all!"

Gao Yongrong shook his head: "No hurry. The Xu family can't move my Gao family for a while. Those from the Xu family in the imperial court have been discussing the issue of moving to the King of Wuxing recently. If they do it now, it may cause suspicion and unnecessary trouble."

"Besides, if it were so coincidental that the prince happened to have an accident now, my uncle would be suspicious of me. It's not worth it. We don't have to do it, just ask my uncle to deal with this matter. He is not at ease with the Xu family, and he will not let King Wuxing stay in Xu's hands for a long time."

Xiao Daocheng nodded and smiled and said, "Grandpa Gao is very protective of Your Majesty and you. After all, they are family. Fortunately, he is in the court, so Xu Mi will not succeed in his conspiracy. I heard that he and the eldest princess have reconciled now? After the death of the late emperor, the eldest princess did not return to Bailuzhou and is said to have stayed in the city."

Gao Yongrong remembered that Gao Qiao and his wife secretly planned to skip their husbands when they were dying at Emperor Xingping, and tried to lift Xiao Daocheng to take office. After a moment of excuse, she said coldly: "Where do they come from to protect them? They are just planning for themselves. Especially my aunt, I know her. Since I was a child, she has never been close to me. Now I don't know what to think in my heart. I am afraid that I am not in front of my uncle. Over time, my uncle was originally looking at me and Your Majesty, and I am afraid that I can't stand her pillow wind."

After saying that, when Xiao Daocheng looked at him, he waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't talk about this anymore. I'm summoning you into the palace for Xu Mi's 6 Guang's Northern Expedition. The two families jointly sent troops to serve the court. Who doesn't know that these two people wanted to take advantage of Beijie's fatigue to deal with it. Your Majesty was about to set a prestige in front of His Majesty to divide the Gao family's power? He still had the face to ask for food and grass from the court? Since they dared to have troops, they didn't have it themselves? They just took the opportunity to speak out and cheat the court of the court! You are now the Minister of the Duzhi, and you have to handle this matter well for me. The food and grass cannot be no less than the population. The court and Your Majesty have no intention of the Northern Expedition, but they must not count as they want!"

Xiao Daocheng said: "Don't worry. Gao Gong is dealing with this matter. He is raising food and grass to give it to his six sons. But last year, he was thinking too much, so how could he get the food?"

Gao Yongrong's expression finally relaxed.

Xiao Daocheng paused for a moment and couldn't help but say again: "Glory Gao is also a strange man. Xu Mi's 6 Guang's Northern Expedition was clearly targeted at him. Not only did he want to raise food, I heard that the Northern Xia Emperor transferred the garrison in Qingzhou and intended to encircle the Xu6 coalition forces. He actually ordered the Guangling army to snipe and intercept the Qingzhou soldiers. It was really..."

He shook his head, his eyes showing a puzzled look.

Gao Yongrong said, "You naturally don't understand what my uncle does. But no one knows him better than me. Since there is no food to raise, then you can do it as he wants and don't make him doubt."

Xiao Daocheng nodded: "I know."

Gao Yongrong snorted: "Xu6 and his two families have really captured Luoyang this time, and they must not work together. At worst, the three families will confront each other. Let's see them fight again!"

Xiao Daocheng smiled and said, "With a queen like you who is not inferior to a man, God wants to revive my Xiao family. In time, I am afraid that I can't do anything to these aristocratic families? Let them fight first, the more ruthless the better. If you lose, it's our turn to deal with it!"

"By the way!" He suddenly remembered and looked at Gao Yongrong.

"In recent days, court officials have been talking about Li Mu again. He actually fought in the Western Jin Dynasty. I heard that he had also asked the court for war before. It is incredible. The Western King Kong took Chang'an from Beixia, and his momentum was like a rainbow. The land of Longxi, which was thousands of miles into the hands of the Xianbei people, was as confident as a call!"

"This time and another time. In the past, you didn't want Gao to be humiliated by him. It's understandable that the situation is different now. If he really made great achievements this time, we must recruit and use such talents. It is important to know that the late emperor promoted him and wanted to use it in the future to reuse him and use him to deal with those people. He is now your brother-in-law. I heard that you have deep sisterhood and your skills will definitely use it for you."

Gao Yongrong said: "No need to say it, I know too! Let's see if he can beat him first."

After saying a few more words, Gao Yongrong urged him to leave the palace. Xiao Daocheng also knew that he could not stay for a long time. When he left, he was stopped by Gao Yongrong.

"I will call you to come, and there is another thing besides the matter just now. I am really worried about my aunt. You are close to my uncle. Pay attention to me carefully. If you notice that he has a strange intention, you must immediately tell me."

Xiao Daocheng agreed, hesitated for a while, walked back, and said a few words indifferently.

Gao Yongrong was stunned: "Is there really such a person?"

"If you don't believe it, I will arrange for you to meet you whenever you want. Whether it is true or false, I will probably not be able to hide it from you."

Gao Yongrong was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay. You bring someone quietly, I will see you."

...

After Xiao Yongjia and her husband reconciled, Gao Qiao seemed to have a fire in his old house, and he was even more sticky than when he was younger. Every day when Taicheng came back, he would definitely find her once he had done his job.

There was a while ago, Xiao Yongjia thought that a building on the island would have to be renovated as it was too old to repair it. He also thought that since it was repaired, it would be better to repair it. When his daughter and son-in-law came back in the future, they would stay for them, so he watched it himself. Sometimes, he was too late to go back to the city far away, so he lived on the island. He didn't want her husband to go back to Taicheng, no matter how late, if she was not in the city, she would have to go out to the city and run to the island to spend the night with her. Early the next morning, she rushed back to the city to have a court meeting, but she only slept for a few hours. Xiao Yongjia felt sorry for Gao Qiao's hard work. Before the house was repaired, he returned to the Gao family and never returned to the island to live.

This month, another major incident happened to the court.

Li Mu fought against the powerful Xianbei of the Western Jin Dynasty with his own strength, which made her very worried. After one wave of reconciliation, another wave of rises. Xu Mi and six lights joined forces to fight against Gao Qiao, which was clearly targeting Gao Qiao, but this old guy still raised food and grass for others and sent Gao Yin to attack the Qingzhou army in Beixia. Xiao Yongjia was very angry. He wanted to say that he did not know how to listen. He would go to the study room to accompany him every night. On these nights, he was angry, but on the other hand, he felt particularly tired and was sleepy in broad daylight, so he did not go to the study room to accompany him. He went to bed early.

It's time for Japan to rest. Early in the morning, Gao Qiao felt that his wife was not very energetic, so he comforted her and told her to sleep again, saying that she would come back to accompany her earlier, and then hurried to Taicheng.

He said this to her since twenty years ago. Xiao Yongjia had long since disbelief. After her husband went, she lay alone for a while, thinking about her daughter, but she didn't know what she was in now. She was very concerned. Then she got up and suddenly felt nauseous and vomiting when she was having breakfast.

The servant next to her thought she had suffered from cold last night and was about to call the imperial physician. She suddenly realized that the matter of the past month seemed to have been delayed for a few days and will continue to this day.
To be continued...
