Chapter 353

After the beginning of winter, the weather is getting colder day by day.

The autumn colors in the metropolis have already changed from thick to thin, and the majestic scenery of maple forests dyed intoxicated and flying clouds flowing in the view of Xuandu has finally been covered by the withering winter.However, the maple leaves in the maple forest still have a little bright color. Looking from a distance, it seems that the waist of the mountain peak has been splashed with a few traces of green blood. Bitter and cold, it embellishes the bleakness of the mountains and makes it alive.

This year's Xuandu Temple is not as crowded with tourists as in previous years. Even when the maple leaves are at their peak, there are not many tourists admiring them, which is much quieter than in the past.Except for the pilgrims who went up the mountain to pilgrimage, it was a scene of few people.

And after entering the inner three cities, this deserted atmosphere became more and more intense, and when it arrived at the imperial city, the desertedness quickly turned into desolation. Under the tall red brick wall, every three or five steps there was a man with a knife. The guards stood by the side of the road like javelins, with cold faces and swords out of their sheaths, chilling and oppressing lingering in every corner.

The aftermath of the assassination that happened more than three months ago has not yet dissipated, and the guards in the Forbidden Palace have not been relaxed at all, even tighter than the guards when the assassination just happened.

His Royal Highness, Guo Yuanzhou, is standing peacefully outside the gate of Shoucheng Hall in the deepest part of the Forbidden Palace at this moment, waiting for his father to summon him.

He is graceful and graceful, and there is a natural dilution between his expressions, which makes him show a calmness beyond his peers.

He stood there indifferently, the stunning scenery of Xuandu Peak in the distance, and the guards waiting in formation nearby, in his eyes, seemed to be no different from the two rows of poplar trees standing outside the gate of this palace.

The chilly wind came from all directions, bulging Guo Yuanzhou's black brocade sleeves, but he stood still, with his brows and eyes lowered, like an old monk in meditation, as if he had merged with the surrounding scenery.Except for the hair and clothes fluttered by the wind, his body has always maintained a very appropriate posture: his back is straight, but his expression is humble; his momentum is calm, but there is no lack of youthful vigor.

In the body of His Highness the Crown Prince, there seemed to be a fusion of many different temperaments, each of which was just right.Just like this action of standing outside the palace and waiting, through him, it can make people feel the faint courage of a generation of princes, but also the humility and humility of being a son and minister.

All in all, from the appearance alone, Guo Yuanzhou is indeed a qualified heir apparent, every expression and every movement of him is so conforming to the norm that no one can find any faults.

Suddenly footsteps came from the gate of the hall, and then a handsome little yellow door came out of the Shoucheng Hall quickly with his hands in his sleeves.

Guo Yuanzhou regained his spirits and turned his head to look at the little yellow door.

The little yellow door walked closely, and his sleeves were windy when he moved. When he walked quickly to Guo Yuanzhou to salute, the creases at the hem of his clothes were still turbulent.

"See Your Highness." He bowed down according to the most standard etiquette in the Forbidden Palace, and his voice was slightly panting, obviously walking all the way in a hurry.

"Must." Guo Yuanzhou raised his hand, his expression was calm and gentle, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

The little Huangmen didn't dare to straighten up, still bowed his body, and said clearly: "Your Majesty said, I feel a little uncomfortable after the court meeting, and I want to rest first, please go back, Your Highness, and come back tomorrow."

Xiao Huangmen's clear voice was thrown into Guo Yuanzhou's ear without emotion like a straight line.

Guo Yuanzhou responded without any hesitation: "Yes, I would like to obey the orders of my father." After saying this, he raised his head and looked at the little yellow gate, with just the right concern on his face: "Go back and pass a sentence for me. In other words, let me just say that my palace respectfully invites my father, the emperor, to be safe."

Xiao Huangmen promised, bowed and retreated to the side.

Guo Yuanzhou turned around and faced the direction of the palace gate, knelt down on the ground, and completed the full set of etiquette for ministers to meet the king outside the palace gate, before slowly stepping back to the front of the steps.

Below the steps is the prince's guard of honor, there are about twenty people, not too many.Although walking in the palace, there is no need to put on too much ostentation, but the rules that should be observed must be observed. Even though Guo Yuanzhou thinks that he can show his sincerity by coming here without a guard of honor, it is a pity that he still has to abide by the rules, otherwise I will be called "frivolous" by the admonishers again.

Walking on the broad Baishi palace road, Guo Yuanzhou's expression was still calm and gentle, with a calmness suitable for all occasions.

The palace roads are horizontal and vertical, without so many twists and turns. Except for a few wonderful sights in the imperial garden, every railing and every corner in this palace shows a kind of The aboveboard aura seemed to be unable to hide any conspiracy.

But who knows?
In this world, there are many people with duplicity, and there are also many things with duplicity. The more gorgeous the person or thing is hidden under the appearance, the more unsightly it is usually.

Guo Yuanzhou's expression was extremely calm, even if he stared at him carefully, there was only gentleness in those calm eyes, so plain that one could instantly ignore its bottomless depth.

The prince's guard of honor appeared, and the palace people knelt down to avoid them. From time to time, palace people who hurriedly fell to the ground could be seen beside the palace road. They were like weeds blown down by the west wind, and they were half dwarfed by the side of His Highness the prince.

Turning west from this palace road, there is another straight palace road, and the poplar trees beside the road are also lined up in two rows. If someone is not familiar with the palace, just walking on this road will know feel at a loss.Because these palace roads are almost exactly the same, even the number of animal head stone pillars beside the road is exactly the same.

It wasn't until the palace road turned a corner at the end and came to a crossroad that Guo Yuanzhou's expression changed slightly.

"Han Zhong, go and see some emperor brothers." He said gently, speaking to an old servant who was walking a few steps behind him.

The servant named Han Zhong bowed silently after hearing the words, and then gestured.The four servants wearing palace uniforms of different grades received the order, left the large group of people, and ran quickly to the fork in the west.

Guo Yuanzhou stopped for a while, looked back at Han Zhong, with a very friendly smile on his face: "Han Zhong, do you think that this time, will the royal brothers meet with me?"

Han Zhong bowed his body, and his old and straight voice was slightly shrill: "Your highnesses are rich, and the humble people dare not speculate."

A very clean answer.

With a smile on his lips, Guo Yuanzhou stared at Han Zhong for a long time.

Han Zhong's waist was bent deeply, and his face was lowered to the ground. From Guo Yuanzhou's perspective, he could only see the other party's brocade curly hair and the gray temples exposed under the curly head.
