Chapter 454 Confused

There were only a few trees in the patio, but there were birds chirping and singing in it.

Duan Xuehen buried her head and covered her left wrist tightly with her right hand.

She felt like a prisoner being interrogated and wanted her to confess something secret.

The moment she was seen just now, she not only felt embarrassed, but also felt ashamed, vaguely as the crazy Zhu Gaoxu saw what she didn't want to show to others.

What's going on?Zhu Gaoxu asked in his voice.There was no blame in his tone, and Duan Xuehen heard the pain and pity.

She looked up and looked at Zhu Gaoxu quickly, and saw that there seemed to be some worry in his eyes.

She still didn't want to answer, so she didn't say a word.

But she suddenly felt that in her heart, she might secretly hope that Zhu Gaoxu could carefully discover the scars.

In this way, you can feel his sympathy while being embarrassed.

Zhu Gaoxu changed his question: Who bites it?

After a while, Duan Xuehen finally said: No one, it’s me.

Zhu Gaoxu asked again: Why do you do that?

Duan Xuehen fell into silence again.She thought to herself: Because of Mu Bin's affairs and her confusion.

Mu Bin was killed by Duan Yang, but if Duan Xueheng had no help, Duan Yang would not have been able to do anything.

Duan Xuehen did not tell Zhu Gaoxu or anyone about this.

Mu Sheng is already a general under Zhu Gaoxu. If the Mu family knew what Duan Xuehen did, she would not know how to face the Mu family.

Duan Xuehen often remembered that incident, and she had excused herself... She did not want to kill Mu Bin, but she could not excuse her mistakes.

It was precisely because of her mistake that Mu Bin was killed directly.

To this day, she still remembers Mu Bin's childish expression, but pretending to be an adult, and that was a face with the characteristics of a relative.

She not only blames herself, but also worrys. Duan Yang didn’t know where, and what else to do, would she tell them?

Whenever Duan Xueheng thought of various things, his heart was filled with confusion. She didn't know who she was, she couldn't forgive Duan Yang, and the Mu family couldn't forgive her; she didn't know what she was going to do and why she lived.

There is only endless numbness and confusion, like a walking zombie.Such days make people crazy. She hopes that she can feel a little and hopes that she can have some expectations.

Zhu Gaoxu said in his voice: Just don’t want to say it. I won’t force you, but you have to think about everything.I went to the study room, you can be quiet here for a while.

When Duan Xuehen heard that Zhu Gaoxu was leaving, a wave of inexplicable fear suddenly flashed in his heart, and he suddenly felt that he was very weak.She subconsciously grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's wrist with her backhand.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately sat down again, with doubts and waiting in his eyes.

Duan Xueheng's pale face gradually turned red. She silently untied her belt and found that Zhu Gaoxu was staring at her intently. She felt even more embarrassed and embarrassed.

Duan Xuehen handed over the belt, and the King of Han could treat me like he did last time...

Zhu Gaoxu hesitated and took the belt: Can this make you feel a little better?

Duan Xuehen's eyes flashed, she lowered her eyelids and trembling eyelashes, and nodded with a very small movement.

She struggled in confusion because of her mistakes and crimes, and suffered endless torture.

She felt real pain, but she seemed to see some kind of redemption light, even if it was just an illusory light; and the person who punished her was Zhu Gaoxu, because of trust, she would not be too desperate.

At that time, Xueheng would reappear in his heart, the feeling of wandering on the street on a rainy night.

On that cold and exhausted rainy night back then, she had just learned about her life experience and was walking on the street in a daze.

At this time, a light appeared in the distance, and the warm touch suddenly filled her whole heart.

The lights of the carriage kept approaching. Perhaps after a long time, Zhu Gaoxu finally came out and invited her to get in.

Walking onto the bright fur-covered carriage, she relaxed in her fatigue for a moment, feeling the warmth and home, and experiencing the long-lost pleasure in every part of her body.

...It was already afternoon when Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the corridor.It was very hot in the summer afternoon, so he reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Although Yunnan is like spring all year round, it will still be very hot if it sunny for too long in summer.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard that the Mu family had a villa in Dali, he suddenly thought that Mu Sheng was a very enjoyable person. It was possible to store ice in Dali, but it was difficult to find ice in Kunming City.

In the morning, Zhu Gaoxu said that Jiaozhi only considered one noon and made a decision in the afternoon. But now he didn't think about anything, and he was with Duan Xuehen all noon and didn't have time to think about anything else.

At this moment, the eunuch Wang Gui walked towards him and said with a fist: Prince, the former Queen of Annan, Chen, asked someone to tell me that she had something important to discuss and invite the prince to meet him.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he guessed that Chen might have heard about the envoy of the Jiaozhi rebels. He asked casually: Did you tell Chen, Ruan Jingyi and others about it?

Wang Gui hurriedly said: The prince is clear, I didn’t say anything. However, Chen lives in the corridor in the front hall, and there are always whispers in the palace. I will find out who is talking.

No need.Zhu Gaoxu frowned and thought for a moment, then said: Then I'll go see her first.

When Zhu Gaoxu came to Chen's residence, when he saw her, he would think of his completely failed Annan's proposal.

Now that the Chen Dynasty in Annan area has been destroyed, the situation has never developed according to Zhu Gaoxu's ideas.

Annan first became a province of the Ming Dynasty, but now it was controlled by the rebels and re-established the country.

Chen wore a narrow robe with a lower flat collar and squatted down to the ground.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately noticed her collar. This kind of flat collar is also a kind of clothing. It seemed common in the Tang Dynasty, but now it is rare for women to wear such low flat collar clothes.

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said: I wonder what if the queen invites me to discuss?

Chen asked: Did you hear that the official envoy sent by Chen Jikuo was a young female Taoist priest?

Zhu Gaoxu said: It is said to be from a royal family.

Chen's face showed mockery. It seemed that the reputation of King You of Han's daughter, Niu Dao, was spread far. It is very suspicious whether she is a real royal family, and I think it is hard to say whether she is a Taoist priest. But the King of Han likes that, no matter how high or low it is, what are the solutions?

Zhu Gaoxu's face changed, he was stunned for a moment, and said: Queen, don't think about irritating me.

Chen's eyes moved somewhere else, and I just said bluntly.

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: If I were so easily angered and made any decisions due to my joy and anger, I might not be able to live now. Back then, I was fighting for the king's king with my head in hand, but later, not only did I not get the position of crown prince, but I was also sent to Yunnan. Have I blamed the late emperor and father for not obeying the will?

When Chen heard this, he finally couldn't suppress her original worries and worries, and showed them from her face, and her voice also changed: Chen Jikuo wants the King of Han to recognize him as the king? What did they give to the King of Han and what did they promise?

Zhu Gaoxu did not answer.

Chen suddenly took a step forward, raised his head and said in a trembling voice: Is there any use now?

Zhu Gaoxu felt her great humiliation and saw her fingers tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, and her fingertips trembled slightly inside her sleeves.My cheeks are red and white.

He took two steps back, reached out to stop Chen from approaching, and said: I will reject the rebel envoy's proposal, the queen doesn't have to worry.

Ah?Chen raised his head and looked at his face. How can the King of Han want me to repay me?

Zhu Gaoxu said: There is nothing to do.I decided like this not to get benefits from the queen immediately.Some officials in the royal palace also opposed this negotiation. I was too lazy to think too much, so I followed the advice of the staff.I'm willing to do this...

Why?Chen asked immediately without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu's last word to fall.

Zhu Gaoxu thought about this question for a long time, after all, he did not have to carefully analyze the reasons for every thing he did.Sometimes there is no reason, just based on feelings.

He pondered: Originally, this matter was not a matter of agreement.And if I reject him, it will satisfy the queen... Sometimes I hope I have the ability to help others.

When Zhu Gaoxu was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered his former girlfriend. Her father was seriously ill and had no money to treat that. Later, she left and wanted to find a man who was capable of helping her and was not a small loan to go to the gambling table.

Chen seemed to be still confused, and she asked again: Why?Why did the King of Han care about other people’s feelings?

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and then understood what Chen meant.

It seems that people with high identities in this era do not have to care about the feelings of the people below, and there is no need to do so; and Chen is also a royal nobleman from childhood to adulthood, so he naturally understands it.

After all, there are too many people who want to be with the nobles and willingly endure all kinds of misfortunes, because people who are dogs can usually treat others as dogs.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't answer Chen's question, and he said: I just care.

He clasped his fists and said: Queen, don’t worry, I am very trustworthy at ordinary times. I said I would definitely do this if I rejected the envoy.But I am unable to deal with Jiaozhi's affairs now, so please wait for a while.

After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he turned around and left.Chen seemed a little distracted and had no gift to say goodbye. She stood there blankly, with a very complicated expression.

He walked to the door, turned around and began to say: If the queen wants to thank me...

What's the matter?Chen raised his head, his eyes with deeper eye sockets were like a pool of water.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Chen Zhengyuan is old enough to read and read. My son Zhanhe will study in Wenlou and let Chen Zhengyuan attend the lecture.

Chen nodded and said: OK.

Zhu Gaoxu left with satisfaction.He always felt that a person's education from an early age will affect his life, not to mention that a child who is likely to become a king in the future.
