Gao Taizong shrank his body again and again, feeling that he had shrunk into a very inauspicious shape.

  A few days ago, I read in the newspaper that an ancient corpse was unearthed at Houjiazhuang Northwest Gang in Anyang. The corpse had jade decorations on its head and chest, and its bones were curled up in this shape. But whats amazing is that the whole body was filled with 771 bone hairpins, inserted from the spine to the abdomen, with green turquoise stones embedded on the heads of the hairpins left on the outside of the spine.

  Gao Taizhen uncomfortably stretched his body again, thinking to himself, "After we old folks die, its fine if our bodies are adorned with luxurious and majestic green jade, but this inauspicious shape, lets not imitate it."

  Hu Lai saw her inexplicably fiddling with something, and just as he was about to ask if she was uncomfortable somewhere, he heard her whisper a sentence.

  "He turned completely white-haired overnight."

  Hu Lai had just started and hadnt come over yet, for a good half day - oh, she was answering what he asked earlier, what happened after Yuan Shikai entered the palace?

  "Really?" Hu Lai smiled,

  Gao Taiwei didnt look at him either, still listless and lethargic. This wasnt intentional on her part; Taiweis body was originally weak, and after a morning of waiting around, he was exhausted, both mentally and physically.

  "Ever since he moved into the palace, he took charge of all state affairs in Korea. He was only 26 years old that year, barely out of his physical prime, and had to handle the entire countrys affairs with care and stability. How many brain cells must have died from exhaustion? Its a wonder his hair didnt turn white!"

  High Taizong thought to himself, actually he had another thing that was quite "tiring". At that time, Old Yuan and Empress Min were having a fiery romance. Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes, and Empress Min was rescued by Old Yuan in the palace chaos, which is why she pledged her body to him as a token of gratitude for saving her life. Meanwhile, in order to avoid suspicion and find an excuse for frequent secret trysts, Empress Min came up with a clever plan and gave her younger sister to Old Yuan as well. As a result, every day she would use the pretext of visiting her sister to go to Old Yuans place and indulge in romantic pleasures. However, just when the two were passionately entwined, Empress Mins younger sister suddenly burst in and caught them red-handed! Empress Mins younger sister was consumed by jealousy and from then on refused to allow Old Yuan to continue his affair with Empress Min. Empress Min was furious, and the consequences were severe. As a result, Empress Min colluded with Old Yuans wife, Madame Shen, to tie her younger sister to a table leg and beat her mercilessly with a feather duster - "You dare not let me sleep with your husband? Ill beat you to death!"

  Dont mention the driver of the car, who deliberately turned his head to look at her. After she finished saying those soft words, she didnt make a sound, and her eyes stared blankly at the "Fu" character hanging in the car, and her eyes became brighter and brighter, with a smile. Typical "stealing joy"!

  "Whats wrong?" Hu Lai couldnt help but ask.

  Gao Taiwei was shocked, and the five colors and six animals in his eyes scattered, but he still didnt look at him. He continued, as if he had taken a puff of opium, still dazed.

  This, Hulai Xianzi finally has some flavor. This woman is a bit like the mice raised in the Eight Great Hutongs - cant be caught, cant be arrested, and cant get close easily. The sense of distance she gives you is a bit...unfathomable, with a hint of being out of touch with reality. Hulai Xianzi finally has some self-awareness: if you dont take her seriously, she doesnt even consider you to be a scallion.

  People are all a bit like that, its not a bad thing, who doesnt have curiosity? However, at this time, Hu Lai still thinks the girl is just a bit interesting, and hasnt really taken her seriously yet.

  The rest of the journey was spent in silence by both people, with only a brief interruption when Gao Taiwei received a phone call.

  "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah."

  With three successive "hms", Taoyis expression became increasingly solemn.

  "Take me directly to the peninsula, I have something urgent."

  This means lunch wont be "shared" with him. Hu Lai slightly raised an eyebrow and turned the steering wheel to follow her will.

  Peninsula Hotel, a high-end hotel that represents colonial and old times, full of luxury and decay, with a mysterious and romantic quality.

  Obviously, Mr. Hu is a regular here, and the gatekeeper smiled and greeted him from afar as soon as he saw his car.

  However, Hu Lai Gongzi didnt move a muscle, and it was the woman beside him who got off the car.

  The woman opened the car door and complained that the doorman was blocking her view. She pushed him away, looked around, and suddenly saw a girl sitting on the stairs in the distance with the same unlucky hairstyle as hers. The girl was bored, holding a small card in her hand, staring at it intently.

  "Holland!" Just as General Gao was about to rush over, Hollands sister looked like a frost-bitten eggplant, her emotions so low? However, she was also very puzzled, such a "frost-bitten eggplant" still brought herself to the peninsula, this is not normal. The big capital atmosphere of the peninsula is what Hollands sister calls "major money-making day" and comes to indulge once in a while. What is meant by "major money-making day"? Hollands sister only comes here to celebrate when she makes over 10,000 yuan from a single "gunman" business deal, and also brings General Gao to "big capital" for a bit. But look at her "cloudy and worried" appearance, its as if someone had stolen 10,000 yuan from her!

  General Gao strode forward, and suddenly heard behind him, "Hsss."

  But it was Hu Lai Xianzi who got down from the drivers seat, walked over and handed her a card, "Here, remember my account."

  Gao Taizhen stared at the card and said, "Didnt we say to keep a low profile?" Eh, she stretched out her hand and took the card over, not being polite at all.

  Hu Lai Xiao laughed and everyone set an example, turned around and left in the car. It seems that people have this style, my woman should be paid by me wherever she eats!

  Gao Taiwei walked over to Hollands sister and sat down beside her, "Whats wrong?"

  The Dutch girl stared at the distant famous runner, turned her head and frowned, "How is it another soldier?"

  "Two teams of cavalry," said General Gao, holding up two fingers.
