The orange-yellow flame burned under the casserole, and Zhu Gaoxu slowly added firewood to the stove.

"What King Gaoyang went to do, is it going well?" Xu Miaojin's voice said.

Zhu Gaoxu replied while observing the burning of firewood: "It didn't go well, I almost lost my life several times, and finally got out by luck...... But before I left, I told Wang Gui that if I couldn't come back, I would let my little aunt go. ”

He said that he looked sideways slightly, observing Xu Miaojin's reaction, but he didn't see anything strange. Xu Miaojin's body was weak, her face was a little pale, and she was lazily leaning on the pillow, just like a delicate mother who had just woken up. Her expression seemed to be a little lucky, glad that Zhu Gaoxu was safe and sound, or was she glad that she had a way back?

Xu Miaojin also noticed Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, her eyes flickered slightly, and she pulled the quilt up again, covering her chest, and said embarrassedly: "King Gaoyang suddenly came in, I am disheveled, I really don't look like words." You evade it a little, I'm going to get dressed. ”

Xu Miaojin is wearing clothes, and the white lining is long-sleeved. She just got up and got dressed, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't see anything...... The women of the Ming Dynasty are exquisite.

He said: "My little aunt is sick, don't toss, just lie down." I'll go out after I've boiled the medicine. ”

Xu Miaojin asked again: "Since King Gaoyang is back, he doesn't plan to let me go?" ”

She threw out an extremely difficult question to answer, and Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a long time, but he couldn't answer it.

If she is let go, let her return to Princess Xu's side, in case she finds out the list of those who surrendered in the court, and then reveals it...... Then Yan Wang's strategy of "going straight to the sky" is facing great risks, if it is unfortunately defeated, Zhu Gaoxu will be unlucky, can he have a good end?

What's more, this trip to Beijing, Zhu Gaoxu died nine times, if it was useless in the end, it was indeed very unwilling.

But if she is not released, I don't know how long the "Battle of Jingjing" will last, will she be locked up in this cellar until the end of the war?

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't answer this profound question for a while, pondered for a long time, raised his head and said, "I remembered a strange place from before......"

"What?" Xu Miaojin's beautiful eyes opened a little.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "That's what you want to jump into the well." At that time, the monk Xukong was arrested, and it was very likely that the little aunt would be confessed. Why didn't you flee back to Beijing as soon as possible, but you wanted to kill yourself? It stands to reason that the little aunt is not out of nowhere, Ling Zun Jingqing is a minister of the imperial court, and it seems that she is still a confidant of Emperor Jianwen. ”

"I have a hard time." Xu Miaojin said coldly.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't stop at it this time, but he was aggressive: "What's the trouble? ”

There was another awkward silence, and Zhu Gaoxu did not continue to ask, but he did not speak again.

After a long time, Xu Miaojin sighed faintly and said softly, "I said that Hongwushi's father was convicted, and he was rescued from the edict prison. My father wanted to repay the grace of God, so he arranged for me to go to Yanwang's Mansion as a traitor. But it's not without a little reward for taking such a big risk......"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Xu Miaojin continued: "The reward promised today is to make me the imperial concubine after the matter is completed. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's heart suddenly rose with a sense of shame and indignation! For a while, he didn't know why his emotions were so strong and why he was ashamed.

After a while, I gradually understood that I probably didn't expect Xu Miaojin to post it upside down to others...... If she has to make meritorious contributions, other men are willing to accept it?

At this time, Xu Miaojin's voice said again: "Originally, my father's intention was to let me use my beauty to lure King Yan, so that I could spy on more military aircraft; But I didn't do that. Since my fate has been destined, I will be given to the emperor as a concubine after all, so what kind of person am I to commit myself to King Yan first? ”

Zhu Gaoxu's face turned red, and he simply felt annoyed and angry!

He has always treated Xu Miaojin politely, and he cherishes her very much, and he doesn't dare to blaspheme her easily...... But she was actually in the enemy territory, and she didn't forget to protect the body of Emperor Jianwen? Damn, what did Emperor Jianwen do for her, what did he pay?!

Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "I am a little aunt, and even my father betrayed me, but I still can't compare to the status of the imperial concubine." ”

Xu Miaojin's gaze looked at his face, and he frowned, "Why did King Gaoyang say that?" This is not what I want, it has been arranged by my father a long time ago, do I want to take the initiative to take the second husband? ”

Zhu Gaoxu's emotions came together, and he couldn't subside instantly, so he had to shut up and keep quiet, so as not to say more inappropriate angry words.

What is he? Xu Miaojin didn't promise anything or anything.

But Xu Miaojin seemed to have sensed Zhu Gaoxu's annoyance, and hurriedly said: "I'm not a rare princess, but my father is rare, what can I do?" He knew that I was reluctant, so he pressed me to do it. If I go back as soon as there is a stir, it will not come to a good end......

My father said a lot of good things, but I never thought it was good...... Maybe those who have never eaten enough food and clothing, and have suffered a lot will care, but I don't think that kind of glory and wealth is very interesting, let alone betraying yourself? ”

Zhu Gaoxu still didn't speak, he really didn't know what to say. Although he is very angry, but what Emperor Jianwen can give, he can't give, what's the use of just talking big?

Xu Miaojin glanced at him, sighed "sigh", and said softly: "Don't take it to heart, these are not my own meanings." My father and Imasami arranged everything, and never asked me if I wanted it...... If I can really be the master, I will never want to come to Beiping to be a traitor, let alone be an imperial concubine! What I get, is not what I want; What I lost, but what I didn't want to lose. ”

Her gentle and flattering voice made Zhu Gaoxu unable to attack, and he said sullenly: "The emperor is amazing? You can still pull off the horse! ”

At this time, Xu Miaojin suddenly laughed out loud, and her apricot eyes became crooked, like a quiet moonlight. She hurriedly reached out to cover her lips, and her face turned red.

Zhu Gaoxu looked puzzled, not understanding what she was laughing at. Maybe you think your words are too naïve? It seems that it is really a little, this young body makes him feel very energetic and passionate, but he feels that he is not talking nonsense: Emperor Jianwen can't be pulled off the horse?

Xu Miaojin's smile made him take a deep breath secretly, so that he could try his best to calm down.

At this moment, Wang Gui said at the entrance of the cave above: "Lord, lord! Yan Wangfu sent someone to pass on Princess Xu's words, telling the prince to go to the palace immediately. ”

"I see." Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said, "I'll go up in a while." ”

He glanced at the casserole on the stove, there was only a sound of water in the lid, there was no white steam, there was still a while before it boiled, and it took more time to boil the medicine. He said, "I have to let my little aunt watch the fire by herself." ”

"Hmm." Xu Miaojin nodded, and didn't ask Zhu Gaoxu to avoid it, and struggled to get up. She may have been lying down for a long time, and suddenly she got up, her face was pale for a while, and her brows looked uncomfortable.
