She had already been disappointed with Shen Zhongbai, so she was not surprised at all by what he did. However, he didn't want to see her, but she wanted him to come to her so that she could complete her cooperation with Gu Qiang.
"Your Majesty, why does the Emperor doubt you when there is nothing wrong with you? It's obviously their own business."
Diancui complained to Shen Qiangwei on the side.
Shen Qiangwei just smiled and did not stop or speak.
This matter had something to do with her, so Gu Qiang made two preparations, because she knew very well that people in the palace were always climbing up and down, so it was very possible for Concubine Meng to steal her things.
After Shen Qiangwei left, Shen Zhongbai called the imperial doctor who made the beauty cream over.
"Is this the beauty cream you developed?" Shen Zhongbai's whole body exuded a frightening cold air.
"If you want to return to the emperor, you will be the next official."
The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and was trembling, feeling extremely panicked inside.
"Bring the stuff up."
Shen Zhongbai asked someone to bring over the bottle of beauty cream and handed it to the imperial doctor.
"You actually want to poison my concubine, you are so brave." Shen Zhongbai angrily scolded the imperial physician Yin Xinlei who was kneeling on the ground.
Yin Xinlei, who was angrily scolded, was so panicked that he kept kowtowing on the ground, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is Concubine Shen's beauty cream. It is only used against Concubine Shen. I didn't know Concubine Meng would use it."
The meaning is very obvious, only Shen Qiangwei will be fine if she uses this thing, and something will happen if others use it.
"Your Majesty, this is a medicine that Concubine Shen asked the Imperial Hospital to develop. It has been for a long time. It was developed recently and was given to Concubine Shen. I really didn't know that Concubine Meng would use it."
Shen Zhongbai is angry but can't express it. Who can blame him? If this was given to Concubine Meng by Shen Qiangwei, it would be easier to say something. But she snatched it from Shen Qiangwei, and he was very aware of the people in the palace who climbed up and down.
But he wanted to give General Meng an explanation. If Yin Xinlei said it according to what he said, General Meng would definitely feel that he was perfunctory. Who would reply to the letter
"You mean Concubine Shen will be fine if she uses it?" Shen Zhongbai asked.
"When I return to the emperor, Concubine Shen will be radiant and beautiful forever." Yin Xinlei was not afraid of going too far.
"Master Yin, if this is the case, then let Concubine Shen use it." Shen Zhongbai gestured to Eunuch Shen beside him with his eyes.
Eunuch Shen immediately took the box of ointment and went to Shen Qiangwei's palace.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, Concubine Shen is also poisoned."
After a while, Eunuch Shen hurried over. Maybe he was too anxious. He was still breathing heavily when he came in.
Shen Zhongbai looked at Yin Xinlei with a gloomy face. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't have noticed the smug look hidden in his eyes.
"Is this what you said Concubine Shen will be fine if she uses it?"
Yin Xinlei was also confused. He had obviously given the antidote to Shen Qiangwei, but why was she still poisoned? Logically speaking, she shouldn't be poisoned. Could it be Shen Zhongbai's fault
Thinking of this, Yin Xinlei raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Zhongbai, whose face was gloomy, and then at Eunuch Shen beside him.
He immediately understood that Shen Zhongbai had deliberately asked Eunuch Shen to go there. He wanted to give General Meng an explanation, so he had to find someone to take the blame, and he was that person. He could also get rid of Shen Qianshan's people, killing two birds with one stone. .
Gu Qiang did not consider this at the time. She forgot that Shen Zhongbai was not only scheming, but also a ruthless person. In order to achieve his goal, what could he not do
"Your Majesty, I was wronged. Someone must have wanted to harm me."
Now the evidence is conclusive, and Yin Xinlei also admitted that it was the beauty cream he made himself. No matter how much he quibbles, it will be of no avail.
"Come here, catch this traitor who is plotting to murder my concubine."
Shen Zhongbai shouted, and the guards outside immediately rushed in, and Yin Xinlei was caught instantly.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Your Majesty, I have been wronged."
No matter how he called, Shen Zhongbai did not waver at all.
"What?"
In Lingyin Pavilion, news of Yin Xinlei's arrest spread quickly. Gu Qiang was slightly shocked. According to her plan, Yin Xinlei could not be arrested.
"This Shen Zhongbai is really despicable. He actually used this method to make Yin Xinlei take the blame just to maintain the relationship between General Meng and him."
Gu Suliang was very angry, and he was even more angry that Shen Qiangwei was drugged by Shen Zhongbai. He didn't know Shen Qiangwei's current situation, and he was even more anxious inside, but there was nothing he could do.
"Can Yin Xinlei still be rescued?"
Gu Qiang is more worried about Yin Xinlei. They all know General Meng's temper, and Concubine Meng is also his most beloved sister. Now that Yin Xinlei has harmed him, he will not let him go.
"I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. If you want to rescue her, someone will have to blame Concubine Meng. It's okay to say that she deliberately framed Concubine Shen in order to win favor, but this may be a little difficult."
"We need to know what kind of poison Shen Qiangwei has. I'm afraid they won't be able to undo the poison on Concubine Meng so easily. We need to distract Shen Zhongbai so that he can't deal with Yin Xinlei."
Shen Qianshan analyzed the current situation carefully. Shen Zhongbai would not abandon Shen Qiangwei so quickly. This chess piece was still useful to him. They should indeed rescue Yin Xinlei first.
"Can't you go directly to Dali Temple to rescue people?" Gu Suliang asked in confusion.
Gu Qiang took a look at him and thought that this method was also possible, but not everyone could succeed in going to Dali Temple to save people.
After all, Dali Temple is heavily guarded, and it may be difficult to rush in and save people.
"What if Shen Zhongbai kills someone directly to give General Meng an explanation?" Chu Tiankuo suddenly asked.
Judging from Shen Zhongbai's nature, this is indeed possible. Gu Qiang looked at Shen Qianshan and waited for him to speak.
Shen Qianshan combed the whole thing carefully in his mind. Logically speaking, Shen Zhongbai didn't know that Gu Qiang and Shen Qiangwei had joined forces, and he just wanted to use Shen Qiangwei to frame Yin Xinlei, even if he really didn't intend to If Shen Qiangwei is left behind, even if it is for Concubine Meng, she will be rescued, and then she will think about how to deal with her.
If Shen Qiangwei dies like this and Concubine Meng lives, people will definitely suspect this matter. Shen Zhongbai did it deliberately, just to get rid of Shen Qiangwei and he did not hesitate to use Concubine Meng as a bait. The rumors can be said that if General Meng learns of this In order to seek justice for his sister, Shen Zhongbai will be exhausted physically and mentally.
"Shen Qiangwei's side, Gu Su Liang, went to inquire about the situation. Remember not to act impulsively. If anything happens, you must report back and consider it in the long term."
He was very aware of Gu Su Liang's character, but he was also afraid that when Gu Su Liang saw Shen Qiangwei being wronged and acted impulsively, he would not only harm himself but also Shen Qiangwei.
Trouble in the harem is a capital crime, so they won't be able to save him if the time comes.
"good."
Gu Suliang agreed. He knew that Shen Qianshan was also afraid of him acting impulsively. After all, Shen Qiangwei was kind to him.
Then, Shen Qianshan looked at Gu Huai'an, "Master Gu, first go to Tai Hospital to inquire about the situation. Pay attention to Shen Zhongbai's treatment of Yin Xinlei. In times of crisis, divert Shen Zhongbai's attention so that Yin Xinlei can survive."
Although Yin Xinlei was just an official who supported him, he was still a human life and people could not be sacrificed in vain. He also had parents and children. If he was beheaded, his family would also be implicated. They were not ready to sacrifice anyone now.
"Chu Tiankuo, go and gather the troops to keep an eye on what's going on over at Dali Temple. If things don't go well for us here, just listen to the signal and lead people in to save people."
After giving all the instructions, Gu Qiang glanced at him and waited for him to arrange things for her.
After he finished all his instructions and asked everyone to leave without waiting for his instructions to her, Gu Qiang couldn't help but wonder.
"What about me?"
Shen Qianshan tilted his head and glanced at her, thinking for a moment, "Just wait here for our news."
How could this be possible? After all, she was the one working with Shen Qiangwei. How could she not participate in anything
"No, I have to participate too. You always refused to let me participate before. This time I want to help Shen Qiangwei, so I have to participate in this operation."
Shen Qianshan looked at her with a look of embarrassment on his face. He just didn't want her to get involved in these things. He just wanted her to stay at home comfortably, but she had to get involved every time.
Gu Huaian also didn't want Gu Qiang to be in danger. What they were doing was very dangerous. Besides, Shen Zhongbai had already recognized her, so she should be more careful and not appear in Shen Zhongbai's sight.
After all, he still remembered what happened last time. She was taken into the sect's mansion, and when she came out, she was covered in scars and poisoned. He didn't want her to go through it a second time.
This is his sister. He wants to protect her and let her happily do the things she likes every day. It is enough for them to solve other things.
"You stay at home and stay at home. If something happens to us, you can take care of us." Gu Huaian helped Shen Qianshan persuade him.
Gu Qiang understands their concern for her, but she doesn't want to be someone protected by them. She has the ability to protect herself.
"Brother, why don't you help him?"
Gu Qiang looked at Gu Huaian with some dissatisfaction.
"I am your brother, and the eldest brother is your father. You have to listen to me. If I tell you to stay at home, you should stay at home."
Gu Huaian rarely became serious.
Seeing this, Gu Qiang no longer insisted. She could only look at them with aggrieved expressions.
"All right."
Following Gu Qiang's compromise, everyone left one after another, leaving only Shen Qianshan and Gu Qiang in the room.
Shen Qianshan wanted to get closer to Gu Qiang, but Gu Qiang avoided him.
"My lord, please go back. Anyway, I am not part of your plan, so you don't need me now."
Shen Qianshan was very dissatisfied with Gu Qiang's words. Although he knew they were her angry words, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
