Chapter 480: Persuading to Go Out and Climb
Zhen Huan's eyes moved quickly and subtly between Cui Jinxi and Gao Changjin, and she gave instructions in a gentle voice.
"Bai Zhi, please see Eunuch Gao off on my behalf."
Cui Jinxi spoke before Bai Zhi, "No need, I can take it there."
The two of them walked slowly down the path, and Gao Changjin took the opportunity to hand a bulging purse to Cui Jinxi.
"You keep this for now."
Seeing that Cui Jinxi was about to refuse, he hurriedly tried to persuade her.
"Hurry and take them. My people are waiting for me not far downstairs. I'll send some more fabric over in a couple of days. The clothes you're wearing are years out of style. It's time to change them."
"Jinxi, although I, Gao Changjin, am a man with shortcomings, I also understand the principle of protecting my woman from the wind and rain."
"I only regret that I didn't meet you earlier. I made you suffer so much for nothing."
I don’t know which words touched Cui Jinxi’s heart, and she burst into tears instantly, causing Gao Changjin to hurriedly take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
What happened outside the palace soon spread to Yongshou Palace.
An Lingrong tapped her knees lightly, subconsciously repeating Baoque's words.
"Cui Jinxi followed Gao Changjin?"
"Yes, Master. After the men taught Su Peisheng a lesson, they have been keeping an eye on Cui Jinxi. She entered Gao Changjin's residence after dark and hasn't been out for three days."
Baoque paused and added with a blushing face.
"The people below also discovered that the servants of the Gao Mansion disguised themselves and went to the clinic to buy blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing plasters and blood-regulating pills."
"Although Gao Changjin and Su Peisheng don't get along, they have one common habit: they don't want young women to serve as servants in their mansion."
"This ointment and pills can only be used by Cui Jinxi. I dare to guess that the two of them have already accomplished something good."
"This Cui Jinxi is really willing to sacrifice everything for the Zhen family."
An Lingrong felt that the phrase "the slave resembles the master" was very appropriate. The master and servant of Lingyun Peak both wanted to achieve their goals by using their beauty to please the master.
It’s just a pity for Bai Zhi, she doesn’t want to escape at this time.
An Lingrong was holding her breath and couldn't feel relieved until she let it out.
She thought for a while and waved to Baoque.
"Have Gao Changjin beaten up, and remember not to hurt his face or legs."
He and Su Peisheng live in the same alley. As old neighbors living not far from each other, they should share the beating equally, right?
No! This is called sharing the hardship.
"Master, I will give the order right away. Do you want to give Su Peisheng another beating after a while?"
"No need for that. Using the same trick too often will arouse suspicion. They both work for the Emperor. As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. A beating for each of them is enough."
An Lingrong understood the emperor, who liked to balance the forces of all parties.
The emperor arranged Su Peisheng to the Yong'an Prince's Mansion and transferred Gao Changjin to serve by his side. It might be that he had the intention of warning Su Peisheng.
That guy has been paying too much attention to Hongzhan lately!
Thinking that those two people were people who would avenge their enemies, An Lingrong couldn't help but cover her mouth with her handkerchief and laugh.
Su Peisheng is protected by the emperor, so Gao Changjin will definitely not be able to defeat him.
Perhaps after this incident, it is possible that Su Peisheng would bear a grudge against Zhen Huan and her servant.
One day, the emperor took a sip of tea and sighed deeply.
Gao Changjin's ears twitched and he bowed to apologize.
"Your Majesty, the tea I brewed is not to your liking?"
"This has nothing to do with you. It's just that I suddenly feel inexplicably irritated."
The emperor placed the teacup heavily on the table.
"In the past, Yunli would come to the palace from time to time to talk with me or send letters home to relieve my boredom. Now, after his accident, I no longer have any relatives..."
Seeing that the emperor remained silent, Gao Changjin made a cautious proposal.
"Your Majesty, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom. I heard that Princess Shuhe, Princess Wenyi, and Princess Longyue often play there. Why don't you go there and relax?"
"What's so fun about a small imperial garden? Only children like it there."
The emperor was not liked when he was young. In order to see the late emperor more often, he often measured the imperial garden with his feet.
Gao Changgong didn't dare to agree, he thought for a moment.
"Your Majesty, if you are tired of the scenery in the Imperial Garden, I have an idea."
The emperor put down the memorial and glanced at him with interest.
"Don't keep me in suspense, you little bastard! Tell me now!"
Gao Changjin trembled slightly and replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that ascending a height and looking far into the distance can dispel boredom. Since returning from the garden, you have been busy with government affairs day and night. It is time for you to take a break."
"It's indeed a good idea to climb high and look far."
The emperor thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"No, the nearby hills are far away and it's inconvenient to travel. Instead of that, I'd rather save myself the trouble of reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace."
"Oh, my Lord, you have been resting for less than three hours a day for the sake of the people of the world. Even the strongest man can't stand this."
Gao Changjin cried bitterly and knelt on the ground shouting.
"I beg you to take care of yourself. You say the mountains near the capital are too far away, but I remember there is a Lingyun Peak near Ganlu Temple."
"Lingyun Peak?"
The emperor repeated these three words with nostalgia.
"Your Majesty, Ganlu Temple is a royal temple, sparsely populated and quiet, perfect for relaxing. Lingyun Peak, far away from Ganlu Temple, is even less populated. However, if Your Majesty does not wish to see old friends, burning incense at Ganlu Temple is also fine."
After Gao Changjin finished speaking, he waited respectfully for the emperor to speak.
After a long time, the emperor laughed loudly.
"This world belongs to me, why should I hide from others? Gao Changjin, choose a day to go to Ganlu Temple to burn incense and climb Lingyun Peak. You will arrange it."
"Yes, I'll do it now, slave!"
Gao Changjin agreed happily.
