Seeing what he said, Liu Chengji felt extremely happy. He was afraid that he would never be able to get rid of Concubine Shen's poison. Now that the emperor was about to give up on her, he could just relax as he wished.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."
Shen Zhongbai waved his hand to ask him to leave. Now he had more important things to deal with.
Although General Meng had restrained himself in Yin Xinlei's matter, he was still extremely public, which undoubtedly made people feel that the court was useless and could not even catch a prisoner.
"Fetch General Meng." Shen Zhongbai said to Mr. Shen beside him.
"yes."
He has received many memorials to impeach him. General Meng must restrain himself, otherwise his majesty will be lost.
Soon, General Meng came, and Shen Zhongbai told him about the matter. General Meng readily agreed.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate this matter in China and not bring this matter to light, which will embarrass you, Your Majesty."
Shen Zhongbai was a little surprised, but he was very satisfied that this matter was handled so easily and General Meng was very cooperative.
After General Meng left, he asked people to evacuate everyone, and the originally lifeless Kyoto immediately became lively.
Gu Huaian handed this matter over to Shen Qianshan.
"I heard that Shen Zhongbai has been subject to many arrests by General Meng in Beijing recently. Shen Zhongbai called General Meng to the Imperial Study Room, and then General Meng withdrew his troops."
"When will we send Yin Xinlei out?" Chu Tiankuo asked.
"I think the sooner the better. What if General Meng goes back on his word and starts a strict investigation?"
"It makes sense." Chu Tiankuo agreed with Gu Huaian's words. They had to send Yin Xinlei out as soon as possible. If he was discovered after a long delay, Yin Xinlei would not be the only one to suffer.
"no."
Shen Qianshan firmly refused.
He didn't believe that General Meng was the kind of person who would withdraw his troops as soon as Shen Zhongbai called him. Shen Zhongbai had called him before, and his attitude was very firm. But now he agreed so quickly. There must be some fraud.
"If we don't send him out now, how long can he hide in that cellar? We can't let him stay in that cellar all his life."
Although what Gu Huaian said made sense, Shen Qianshan still disagreed.
"You should investigate clearly first, then plan the escape route, and then we can discuss it."
Seeing how determined he was, Gu Huaian said nothing. After all, it was not an exaggeration for Shen Qianshan to be careful for Yin Xinlei's safety.
But will it be difficult to let him out later? He thought that when he was released and there were the most people, he could take advantage of the chaos and escape, and he would be easily discovered when things calmed down.
"good."
After they left, Shen Qianshan came to Gu Qiang's room.
"What are you doing?"
He walked to Gu Qiang's side and saw her tinkering with her medical skills.
"Shen Qiangwei is about to wake up. She must be very weak. I will make some tonics for her to help her recover faster."
"I heard from the palace that Shen Qiangwei is no longer favored."
Gu Qiang understood what he meant, but she had no interest in saving Shen Qiangwei, she just felt pity for her.
"I'll make her happy."
Gu Qiang smiled firmly at Shen Qianshan. She knew why Shen Qiangwei was not favored.
Shen Zhongbai brought Shen Qiangwei into the palace just for profit. Since she was not favored, it was because Shen Zhongbai felt that Shen Qiangwei had no value anymore, so taking her would make her valuable.
Seeing her appearance, Shen Qianshan didn't stop her anymore, as long as she liked her, he would be responsible for her if anything happened.
"Why are you free today?" Gu Qiang was a little confused. Wasn't he always busy? Why is there nothing to do today
Shen Qianshan hesitated for a while and said to Gu Qiang, "I have a disagreement with your elder brother today."
Gu Qiang was puzzled. This was the first time such a situation had occurred, and he couldn't help but feel a little concerned.
"What's wrong?"
She put down what she was holding.
"I suspect that General Meng is cheating and asked Yin Xinlei to come out later, but your elder brother thinks that Yin Xinlei should be sent out earlier."
Seeing this, Gu Qiang also understood the disagreement between the two. After all, the relationship between Yin Xinlei and Gu Huaian was very good. He didn't want him to continue to suffer and wanted him to meet his family as soon as possible.
It's just that Gu Huaian was too emotional this time. I'm afraid he won't listen to Shen Qianshan and take the person out and send him away by himself.
"I understand what you are thinking. I will talk to my eldest brother about this matter."
"kindness."
Shen Qianshan was very pleased. Fortunately, Gu Qiang understood his thoughts.
Gu Qiang developed the medicine and went to Gu Huai'an's home while having dinner.
"Brother."
At this time, Gu Huaian was about to have a meal, and when he saw Gu Qiang coming, he hurriedly arranged for someone to fill a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
"Why are you here?" Gu Huaian was a little confused. He actually had an idea in his mind and understood Gu Qiang's purpose of coming here, but he pretended not to know anything.
"Brother, I came to have a meal with you. There is no one in the Lingyin Pavilion today, so it's not interesting for me to eat alone, so I came to have a meal with you."
Gu Qiang said, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
"Brother, the food you have here is so delicious."
While eating and praising, Gu Huai'an knew what Gu Qiang was thinking but refused to reveal it.
After drinking and eating, Gu Qiang still didn't want to leave.
"Brother, I heard that General Meng evacuated his people. What are you going to do?"
Gu Qiang wanted to test Gu Huaian, but with her rank, could Gu Huaian not see it
"Brother won't go by himself. Don't worry. Brother is really a little anxious today. When he came back, he felt that what Shen Qianshan said made sense."
"really?"
Gu Qiang asked in confirmation.
"kindness."
In fact, he also thought seriously that even if General Meng did not ambush him, he should be more careful, otherwise he would be sorry for Yin Xinlei if he was really ambushed.
"That's good. I was worried that you would do something stupid, brother."
"You." Gu Huaian looked at him with a doting look on his face.
After getting Gu Huaian's answer, Gu Qiang sat for a while and then left.
At this time, Shen Qiangwei had faintly woken up.
She opened her eyes, saw a dark room, and shouted: "Dian Cui, Dian Cui."
At this time, Diancui went out to get her food. She was not in the palace, so no matter how she called her, there was no one there.
"Stop yelling, she went to get you food."
The palace at this time was like a cold palace, there were no servants, there were only her and Dian Cui, and Gu Su Liang didn't want to tell her anything.
He lit the candle, turned to face her and said, "Gu Qiang has cured you of your poison. You should cultivate yourself well."
Shen Qiangwei was in a daze at this time. She didn't know why Gusu Liang appeared here. Didn't Shen Zhongbai arrange a lot of people around her? Isn't he afraid of being caught when he shows up like this
All kinds of doubts appeared in her mind, but there was no answer.
Looking at her appearance, Gu Suliang knew what she was thinking.
"Shen Zhongbai remove the people around you, I won't be discovered."
Shen Qiangwei breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly she thought of something and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Gu Qiang asked me to come."
Gusu Liang explained.
Shen Qiangwei nodded. Now that she is cooperating with Gu Qiang, she depends on Gu Qiang for everything she wants to leave the palace.
Thinking of the Gu worm that Gu Qiang gave her, Shen Qiangwei asked, "Did Gu Qiang tell you anything else?"
Gu Suliang wondered, could there be any secrets between her and Gu Qiang
Seeing this, Shen Qiangwei stopped asking any more questions. After all, since there were things he didn't know, Gu Qiang didn't want to tell him.
“Why is my yard so quiet?”
She just asked casually, but she didn't expect Gusu Liang to care. He looked at her and said nothing.
Shen Qiangwei probably guessed what was going on by looking at his expression. This was a common occurrence in the palace, and she would reach that point sooner or later.
"You don't have to comfort me. Did Diancui leave too?"
Shen Qiangwei asked. She still had feelings for Dian Cui, after all, she had been with her for so long.
"No, she did prepare dinner for you."
"Squeak."
While the two were talking, Dian Cui came back from outside. She was afraid of disturbing Shen Qiangwei's rest, so she opened the door gently and walked in slowly.
Her steps were extremely light.
Gusu Liang was already hiding when she opened the door.
"Dian Cui?"
Shen Qiangwei glanced at the cooler place in Gusu, and when she saw that he could no longer be seen, she called out.
Ben was still cautious and walked in quickly when he heard the call.
"Mother, are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
Looking at Shen Qiangwei who was already doing it, Dian Cui asked quickly, with excitement written all over her face.
Looking at Dian Cui who was still by her side, Shen Qiangwei was very moved.
"Can you have lunch?"
Shen Qiangwei asked her.
"Go back to your Majesty, the slaves and maids cannot eat until the master has eaten."
"Silly girl." Shen Qiangwei touched her head.
"Mother, I just want to offend you. Our food is even worse than before."
Shen Qiangwei knew what the people in the White House would prepare for them.
"Go to my jewelry box and pick out a few items to send over, and bring some food."
She couldn't eat those things just after she woke up, so she needed to get some good food to replenish her body.
"Empress." Dian Cui was a little reluctant. After all, these are very precious things to Shen Qiangwei. She had already given those jewelry that she didn't care about to her servants, and now they are all things that she likes very much.
Shen Qiangwei naturally understood that Dian Cui was thinking about her, but she still had these things when she was alive, but nothing when she died.
"You have to know that these things are dead things. If you don't use them now, they will be dead things when I die of illness and will be taken away by others."
"Your Majesty, I understand."
Diancui immediately understood Shen Qiangwei's point and took out some of the cheapest jewelry from the jewelry box that Shen Qiangwei didn't like very much.
"Come out. Don't show up casually in the future. Although no one is guarding me, I will be in trouble if someone sees me." Shen Qiangwei said to Gu Suliang.
"good."
Gusu Liang responded and walked out of the darkness and left Shen Qiangwei's palace.
