Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 205 Praying Mantis Oriole (1)

Gao Qichang suppressed the anger in his heart and listened to the old man's words. He was so angry that he clenched his fists and clenched his teeth and roared angrily: "Li Chi, I, Gao Qichang, will never die with you!"

Seeing that he was about to rush out the door with anger in his chest, he was so frightened that the military teacher and the old Taoist hurried forward to stop him, but Gao Qichang was tall and powerful, a literati, a scholar, and a Taoist priest couldn't stop the strength of Gao Qichang's rage.

While being pestered, cousin Xing Dezhuang trotted into the house: "Cousin, cousin! The King of Wei sent you... what are you doing?"

The military adviser yelled at Xing Dezhuang with a pale face: "Go find a rope and tie up your cousin. Hurry up!"

Xing Dezhuang didn't know what happened, but seeing Gao Qichang's frightening appearance of wanting to eat people, he hurriedly turned around and went out to find a thick rope, and teamed up with the military adviser, the old man and a few servants to tie up Gao Qichang who was dazzled by anger on the pillar.

Xing Dezhuang, who didn't know the reason, hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with my cousin? I saw that he was fine when he went to court just now, why did he become like this after he went to court?"

The military adviser wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and said in a breathless voice: "Your cousin lost his mind after being overjoyed and angry, and now he is a little unconscious and acting in disorder. By the way, what did you say when you came in? ?”

"Oh, that's how it is. Someone came up from Prince Wei's residence and said he wanted to invite my cousin to visit the residence."

The military adviser was startled, and received the invitation from Xing Dezhuang, seeing that it clearly stated that Gao Qichang should go to the mansion to enjoy the flowers, he couldn't help but frowned, and said worriedly: "Now that General Gao has become like this, how do we go tomorrow?" Prince Wei's residence."

Gao Qichang, who had been silent for a while since he was tied to the wooden pillar, suddenly smiled clearly, and said to the military advisor, "Don't worry, military advisor, I will definitely go to the banquet tomorrow in person."

The next day, Gao Qichang led his cousin Xing Dezhuang and his servant Zhongshu to Wei Wangfu to accept the invitation. Because it was the time when the chrysanthemums were in full bloom, Li Chi, who has always been famous for his love of chrysanthemums, would invite everyone to enjoy the flowers and drink when the chrysanthemums were in full bloom.

After a while of drinking orders, those who don't drink much ordered the envoy to walk up to Gao Qichang with a glass of wine, flattering and laughing: "Young General, I will toast you a glass of wine."

Gao Qichang held his wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Murong wants to pay respects, so there should be a reason."

The commander tilted his head to think for a while, and said with a loud smile: "Back then, Grandpa Gao paid homage to General Weiyuan, but his last general was not talented, so he followed General Gao to the Puppet Chu Dynasty. Thinking of General Gao's majesty and might, he was shocked. The emperor of the Puppet Chu Dynasty would also nod and bow when he saw General Gao. I never thought that in the battle of Huaichu, General Gao was betrayed and died in Huaihe. General, cultivate the major generals to become talented! The battle at Qimen Mountain was fought beautifully, and I was convinced by the general. Now, with the wine of His Royal Highness King Wei, the general will offer a glass of wine to the major general, hoping that the major general will be like your father. As high as a general, show off the power of our country!"

"Well said!" Gao Qichang walked in front of the commander of Nadu, and said loudly, "If it weren't for the current sage, I am afraid that I and my mother would die tragically on the street. If it weren't for the current sage, I would definitely not have achieved today. If it weren't for the current emperor, we wouldn't have such a peaceful and comfortable life. I want to say that this glass of wine should be respected to the emperor!"

Everyone stood up in agreement, and said loudly: "Your Majesty!"

They all drank the wine in their cups, and the banquet was enjoyable. Gao Qichang excused himself to change his clothes and left the banquet. Somewhat drunk, he staggered to the side room with the servants serving him, and let the maid serve him strong tea. sober up.

Just as Gao Qichang took a sip of tea, tilted his head against the table and closed his eyes to meditate, a wisp of fragrance wafted into his nose, Gao Qichang sneezed hard, and barely regained consciousness.

In the mist of cigarette smoke, a woman in white clothes stood in front of Gao Qichang like a fairy. When he saw it suddenly, he was startled involuntarily, and then a little dissatisfied in a moment. He forced his consciousness to stand up, and shouted in a deep voice: "I I'm not dead yet, so I don't need you to wear mourning for me! Besides, it's not your turn to wear mourning!"

Hearing these words, the beautiful woman was startled, and the carefully planned atmosphere suddenly froze. She blinked hurriedly, and saw that Gao Qichang's dissatisfaction and unhappiness were clearly written on his face, although Gao Qichang's consciousness was blurred. Some flustered.

The woman hurriedly stepped forward, her half-exposed breasts pushed aside the fragrant mist and appeared in Gao Qichang's sight, but she pretended to be innocent and shy: "I disturbed the general to rest, I hope the general will forgive me."

Gao Qichang had a severe headache at this moment, he didn't even bother to see if the woman was beautiful or smelly, which part was exposed, so he stretched out his hand to push without mercy, swayed himself, and knocked down the teacup on the table.

The clear and crisp sound of breaking spread quickly in the empty room. Gao Qichang was sober for a moment. He glanced at the woman who was groaning limply on the ground. He covered his head and pretended to be uncomfortable. Li also yelled: "Come here, come here for me!"

Uncle Zhong, who was separated from the outside, broke in, glanced at the beautiful woman who was wronged and crouched on the ground, then strode towards Gao Qichang: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Since he was in Beijing, he had to call Gao Qichang according to the Gao family's rules.

Gao Qichang covered his head and pretended to be in terribly pain, and yelled weakly: "Take me out of here quickly, this woman wants to kill me!"

Seeing Gao Qichang's seriousness, Uncle Zhong didn't care about other things, he hurriedly supported Gao Qichang to go out of the yard, when he heard a voice behind him: "Stay, General! Stay, General. General Gao, Your Highness, King Wei, please."

Gao Qichang followed the servants leading the way into a secluded courtyard, looked down at the woman kneeling on the ground pretending to be pitiful, and snorted coldly in his heart, he had to put on a look of panic He stepped forward and said, "My lord, this..."

Li Chi put down the teacup in his hand and raised his hand as a "please" gesture. After Gao Qichang sat down, he smiled wryly and said, "General Gao was drunk just now, I don't think I remember it. I called this girl." Those who served the general never thought about the general... Cough, there is nothing wrong with me here, but I am just a girl who can be sent out to marry anyone, but this girl has a very bad temper, she has to say that she belongs to the general, and she will say anything. You want to go back with the general, and let me say all kinds of good things, but I still don't change my tone. I also said that if I marry someone else in such a vague way, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the palace. I really don't have any feelings for this girl. I had no choice but to call the general over to discuss."

Gao Qichang took the tea from the servants, and said with a nonchalant expression: "Hey, I still think it's a big deal. Your Highness, I have an idea. Look, it will be the death of the former empress in a few days." I'm afraid that because of the queen mother's birthday, people dare not mention it. Although you were not born to the former queen, you grew up under the former queen's knees since childhood, and you have a deep affection with the former queen. What's more, the prince is not free now. How can you not You should be filial. There are too many things buried in the royal family. If you think about it, the queen also enjoys endless glory and wealth underground. If you think about it, what the queen wants is a long night without anyone to accompany you. I think this girl is not bad, but It's also quick, and sending it to the mausoleum to serve the late empress is indeed a filial piety from His Highness!"

The woman kneeling on the ground couldn't help being frightened after hearing this, her face was pale and bloodless, her wet eyes stared straight at Li Chi, for fear that he would really agree with Gao Qichang's words and send herself to the mausoleum .

Li Chi held the lid of the bowl to fiddle with the tea, lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and said in a cold voice: "The general said that, did he make up his mind not to want this girl?"

Gao Qichang replied without fear: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. Let's not say that the last general has never touched this girl. Even if she did, it was because of her indiscreet behavior that discredited the palace. If the prince still let this girl If people are corrupted in the palace, I am afraid that the emperor will be furious and the empress will blame him."

Li Chi suddenly laughed loudly, and said: "The general is right. This kind of lowly girl should not be kept, and she should not be sent to the former queen to defile the gods. Come on, send her to the later queen, and say This girl has ruined the atmosphere in the mansion, and will find a trafficker tomorrow to sell her in the capital!"

The woman was dragged away crying, her snow-white clothes were covered with dust and mud, she was just a fairy surrounded by fragrant mist, but in an instant she became a fish on the chopping board of others.

"I think His Highness still has important things to do, so the last general will excuse me first."

"General Gao is leaving now?"

"What? Your Highness still has a woman to give to you?"

Li Chi put down the teacup in his hand with a smile on his face, and said: "The general is really good at predicting things, the general has guessed everything." Then he called the outside waiter to come in, "Madam, please." Come out from behind the screen."

Gao Qichang thought that Li Chi was about to play some tricks again, leaning on the handle with a scornful smile in his eyes, and looked cynically at the screen behind him. With just one glance, his smile froze, he stood up in disbelief, and stared blankly at the screen behind him. To the woman walking towards him.

Li Chi looked at Gao Qichang and sneered secretly, and said, "General Gao, what's wrong with you?"

Gao Qichang clenched his fists tightly, but put on a calm smile on his face, and said: "I was shocked just looking at the beauty of this woman."

Li Chi smiled and got up and walked in front of Gao Qichang, and said in a low voice, "General Gao, don't pretend, the veins on your forehead are about to pop out." After speaking, he turned his face and continued, "Madam Gao, Gao The general has suffered a lot in order to save you from the prince, don't you feel moved at all?"

It was none other than Shi Yiqing who was called by Mrs. Gao.
