The woods were not too big. Gao Chong walked through the woods along the forest path, and there was a cliff in front of him.
A young girl in emerald green clothes hugged her knees and sat on a stone in front of the cliff. The mountain wind on the cliff was strong, causing her hair and clothes to flutter. She sat there calmly, looking at the valley in front of her.
This girl is Zhao Duofu, the concubine of the Roufu Emperor. Every time Gao Chong saw her before, Zhao Duofu was very lively and cute. She talked a lot and was rarely quiet. At this time, she was just sitting there, not knowing where she was. Think about something.
Gao Chong walked behind her and said softly: "What are you looking at?"
Zhao Duofu turned around and saw him, with a smile on his face. She just smiled, then turned back to look into the distance and said softly: "I didn't see anything." She pointed her finger in front of her and said : "Your hometown is in this direction, right?"
She was pointing in the north direction. Gao Chong walked up to her and said, "Yes, my hometown is Zhending Mansion on Hebei Road. It's quite far away from here."
Zhao Duofu hummed, and then said: "Is it good there?"
Gao Chong thought for a while and then said: "Of course it is far less prosperous and fun than Bianliang City. There have been wars there for hundreds of years, and the people's lives are very miserable. Fortunately, there have been no wars in the past few decades, so our people there have it easier."
Zhao Duofu suddenly asked: "Then where is my hometown?"
Gao Chong was stunned for a moment. It was not easy to answer this seemingly simple question clearly. Gao Chong thought for a while before replying: "Is it the king's land in the whole world? The whole world is your homeland. "
Zhao Duofu shook his head and said: "Even if the world belongs to our family, we always have roots. I asked about it, and they said that our family was also from the north hundreds of years ago, and is even more oriented to your hometown. It's two hundred miles north."
Gao Chong said: "I don't know about that."
Zhao Duofu said: "They said that place is called Zhuozhou, which is also on Hebei Road. Speaking of which, we are from the same hometown." Gao Chong heard so much from her and went in such a big circle. It turned out that she was tricked into doing this. Almost, he couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Duofu stood up, approached Gao Chong, looked up at his face and said, "You look really good in this dress." Gao Chong said, "I'm still not used to it."
Zhao Duofu gently threw himself into his arms, put his hands around his neck and said, "You are so tall, I am too short." Her eyes were full of affection, and Gao Chong hugged her waist, unable to help himself. , kissed her deeply on the lips, and Zhao Duofu responded affectionately to him. The two embraced each other and kissed each other affectionately on the edge of the cliff. They kissed until they could no longer breathe before they separated.
Zhao Duofu panted slightly, leaned on his chest and whispered: "Do you know, as soon as you and I were separated, I felt empty and uncomfortable in my heart." Gao Chong stroked her hair and said: "I Yes, I always think of you every day."
Zhao Duofu raised his head and said, "Then let's never separate from now on, okay?" Gao Chong was stunned, and Zhao Duofu said softly, "Aren't you willing?"
Gao Chong hurriedly said: "Of course I am willing, but...but we can only do it step by step and slowly think of a solution." Zhao Duofu said: "I don't want to slowly think of a solution. We will leave Bianliang after the New Year." , It doesn’t matter if we go north or south, in short we will never be separated again.”
Gao Chong hesitated and said: "The Chinese New Year will be coming soon. I am alone and can go wherever I want. But you are different. You are the Empress of the Song Dynasty. If you disappear, I am afraid there will be chaos in the world."
Zhao Duofu said: "I don't want to be an empress anymore. I just want to follow you. No matter how hard it is, I won't be afraid, and I won't regret it even if I die." She pressed her face against Gao Chong's chest and said, "I'll do it for you." Mother-in-law, I will follow you for the rest of my life, okay?"
Faced with such a passionate and beautiful girl, who was also the majestic Emperor of the Song Dynasty, she gave up all her splendor and was willing to follow an unknown boy like him to travel far away from home, regardless of the consequences. Gao Chong had no reason not to be moved. In fact He and Emperor Roufu had not known each other for a long time, and the time they spent together was limited. Even at the beginning, Gao Chong always had the shadow of Jinghui in his heart. He may sometimes regard Zhao Duofu as Jinghui.
But Zhao Duofu loved him desperately, driving away the shadow of Jinghui in Gao Chong's heart, and occupied his heart. Gao Chong was originally very concerned about her identity, and Gao Chong was passive. He was pulled over by Zhao Duofu's unbridled enthusiasm.
The two lingered on the edge of the cliff for a while. The mountain wind became stronger and the chill became heavier. Gao Chong suggested going back. Although Zhao Duofu was reluctant to leave, he still listened to his words. The two held hands and turned around. When they walked into the forest, Zhao Duofu Fu Dao: "I heard from others that the Jurchen barbarian wants to propose marriage to my father."
Gao Chong was startled and immediately stopped. He knew that the "Fanbang barbarian" Zhao Duofu mentioned might be Wanyan Digunai who competed in the Cuju competition the day before yesterday. Zhao Duofu then said: "Don't worry, I Daddy would never agree."
Only then did Gao Chong feel relieved. He then understood that Zhao Duofu suddenly asked him to elope with him. Maybe this was also a very important reason. Although Song Huizong would not agree this time, Zhao Duofu was getting older and no one could protect him. Song Huizong would not marry her off soon.
Gao Chong took her hand and walked two more steps and said, "Brother Shi who offended you that night, can you spare him? I'll let him accomplice you."
Zhao Duofu said: "I just apologize to you. I'll do whatever you say." She stopped and touched her head and said, "It still hurts a little bit when I touched it here."
Gao Chong brushed her hair aside and looked at her and said, "There's no external injury. It'll be fine in a day or two." Zhao Duofu smiled and said, "I hated him very much at first, but you showed up quickly to protect me. I don’t hate him that much anymore. I’ll ask Zhang Xi’er to find someone to accompany you to the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen and release him later.”
Gao Chong saw that she was considerate and not at all arrogant or coquettish like the royal nobles, and he liked her even more.
The two held hands and walked to the edge of the forest together. Gao Chong let go of her hand, fearing that the followers who came with her would see it, but Zhao Duofu reached out and took his arm and said, "They don't dare to talk nonsense." He walked out of the woods with Gao Chong.
Several palace maids and bearers next to the sedan outside the forest lowered their heads when they saw the two of them coming out arm in arm. Zhang Xier opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she controlled her mouth and did not say anything.
Gao Chong and Zhao Duofu returned to Bianliang City one after another. Zhao Duofu told Zhang Xier to find the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and accompanied Gao Chong to the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen to ask for people. With such a powerful big shot, Shi Datai It was also sent by people from the palace, and there was no serious crime in itself. Kaifeng Mansion would not say anything. Not long after Gao Chong waited outside, he saw Shi Datai walking out of the North Prison of Kaifeng Mansion accompanied by two police officers.
Shi State was imprisoned for several days, but he did not suffer much. When Gao Chong saw him coming out, he took two steps forward and shamelessly called out: "Brother Shi."
Shi Datai ignored him and looked behind him. Gao Chong knew that he was looking for Jinghui and other members of the Shi family class, so he added: "Suddenly I learned that Brother Shi can come out. I haven't informed Class Master Shi and the others yet, so I will go ahead alone." coming."
Only then did Shi Statai say "Oh". His temper became better at this time. Maybe he had thought clearly in the past few days in prison. He also knew that he had admitted the wrong person that night and hurt someone. I heard that he even beat the current emperor. Ji, I was still thinking that even if he was not beheaded, he might have to be locked up for ten or eight years. He didn't expect to be released so soon.
When Shi Statai saw Gao Chong coming to pick him up, he understood that it was Gao Chong who had contributed. However, he wanted to save face and would not express his gratitude in person. Gao Chong knew his temper and didn't care. He said to Shi Statai: "What if? Brother Shi can go back by himself, and I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Shi State ignored him, turned around, limped alone, turned his back to Gao Chong and gradually walked away in the other direction.
Zhang Xi'er couldn't help but said: "This man is real. It's obviously his fault. He was let out without even a good word."
Gao Chong said: "That's what he is like, Miss Xi'er, thank you very much."
Zhang Xi'er pursed her lips and didn't say much. Although she was very optimistic about the future of Gao Chong and Emperor Roufu, as a palace maid who grew up with Emperor Ji Huanhuan, it was hard for her to say anything.
Gao Chong said goodbye to Zhang Xi'er and returned to Prince Xu's Mansion. As soon as he reached the gate of Prince Xu's Mansion, a man came up to him and said, "Mr. Gao."
Gao Chong looked at him and didn't recognize him. He returned the gesture and the man said, "There is a distinguished person who wants to see you. Mr. Gao, please come here."
Gao Chong was secretly surprised, but he still followed the man through a street and arrived at a small alley behind the street. A large carriage was parked in the alley. A coachman and two attendants stood at the entrance of the alley with their hands hanging. This man He took Gao Chong to the carriage, bowed to the carriage and said, "Bring Mr. Gao here."
The car curtain opened, revealing the face of a young girl. It turned out to be Zhao Duofu, the concubine of Roufu Emperor. Gao Chong was surprised and happy. Zhao Duofu whispered to Gao Chong: "Come up quickly."
Gao Chong boarded the carriage as he was told, lifted the curtain and got in. Zhao Duofu asked him to sit down with a smile. She changed into the clothes of a daughter of the Han family. Gao Chong said, "Didn't you go back already?"
Zhao Duofu said sweetly: "I can't bear to leave you." Gao Chong chuckled, and Zhao Duofu said again: "The imperial city's envoy Zhao Sange went out to Luoyang. Seeing this rare opportunity, I ran out to play for a while. ”
Gao Chong said: "Then you have to be more careful." Zhao Duofu smiled and said: "Originally I didn't dare. I just thought it wouldn't take long to follow you and leave here, so I just had to be bolder."
Gao Chong said: "Then where do you want to go?"
Zhao Duofu put away his smile, moved closer to Gao Chong and said, "I want to meet that girl from the Shijia class, can you take me there?"
Gao Chong said: "Why do you suddenly want to see her?"
Zhao Duofu said: "I want to get to know her. I want to get closer to see how similar we two are. Is that possible?"
She begged so softly, and in front of Gao Chong, she no longer regarded herself as a dignified princess of the Song Dynasty. Gao Chong said: "Aren't you afraid that others will not welcome us and kick us out?"
Zhao Duofu said: "What does that matter?" Seeing that she insisted on going, Gao Chong let her go. He explained the route to the coachman, and the carriage started and headed towards the place where Shi Jiaban was.
The carriage moved forward slowly. Zhao Duofu patted the two wooden boxes in the corner of the carriage and said to Gao Chong: "These are for you first." Gao Chong said: "What are these?"
Zhao Duofu smiled and said, "You'll know if you open it and take a look?"
Gao Chong lifted the lid of the box, and there were neatly packed gold ingots in the wooden box. The yellow light was dazzling and dazzling. Gao Chong believed that he had never seen so much gold in his life.
