Gu Suliang stepped forward to support Gu Qiang's arm, held it tightly, and said firmly: "No, girl, we can't just enter the palace if we want to. After all... it was Mr. Gu who cured the emperor like this. .”
joke! Before the emperor met his brother, his health was getting worse day by day, and he was almost going to fly to the west. The fact that the blame could be shouldered on Gu Huaian's body was enough to show that the royal family's behavior was simply unflattering.
Or maybe the emperor knew that he was in trouble and felt unhappy, so he locked up his brother for an excuse
Just for the imbalance in your own heart
"Liang'er, why do you say that? Didn't you see that the emperor has died before? How can they insist on putting this crime on my brother?"
As Gu Qiang spoke, she suppressed the trembling all over her body and walked out of the yard.
The guests outside had already left, and the maids were cleaning up the back garden. Gu Qiang saw that the entire yard was so magnificent, and all the people had expressions on their faces that something good was about to happen. It was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Qiang, who was about to get married. A happy event for the Ninth Prince.
The anger in her heart reached its peak when she thought that her brother had sacrificed his life for that happy event.
At this time, a group of people walked towards the yard carrying boxes of gifts.
They saw the leader was Shen Qianshan. His face was beaming with joy, and there was a smile on his lips. His face, which looked like a thousand-year-old iceberg, had finally melted.
Behind him is naturally the betrothal gift he will give to Gu Qiang.
But when he walked in front of Gu Qiang, Gu Qiang rushed over like a madman, knocked the things in his hands to the ground, said with red eyes: "This marriage... I don’t have any more knots.”
Shen Qianshan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that something must have happened. He turned around and exchanged glances with Gu Suliang, and held Gu Qiang in his arms. He knew that she was upset, but he could never say not to marry her. His words.
"Qian'er, please calm down. No matter what happens, just leave it to me, okay?" Shen Qianshan stroked her head as if coaxing a child, but she was still very irritable.
"Enter the palace and bring my brother out, otherwise I won't get married." Gu Qiang was very depressed. Gu Suliang stood aside and looked at Gu Qiang quietly, always feeling that she was not doing something right.
If her brother had not made a request to marry her to Shen Qianshan, the emperor would not have kept him by his side for treatment, and this would not have been the result.
Shen Qianshan turned his head, and Jin Ye and Suge flew away immediately. He comforted: "Okay Qian'er, I understand, I will find a way, don't worry."
Gu Qiang's heart finally calmed down at this time. She knew that she was going too extreme, so she stood up and turned to Shen Qianshan and said, "Anyway, let me go into the palace first and take a look. I want to bring my brother back."
After she finished speaking, the whole capital shook twice, and everyone was startled. Then everyone realized what the sound was.
This is the death knell of the country. Whenever the king dies, the whole country will ring the death knell.
Could it be true that... the emperor died
Everyone knelt on the ground, and Shen Qianshan pressed down on Gu Qiang and also knelt on the ground.
The sound of the death knell was so powerful and shocking that it seemed to shake all the surrounding scenery. All the time went back. It turned out that he was a member of the royal family. Even if the emperor did not do anything earth-shattering during his reign, as long as he was For people with royal blood flowing through their bodies, the news of death can actually turn into an atmosphere that shakes people's hearts and makes them scream in mourning.
No matter how powerful a person is, when he dies, he is just a skeleton, which is pitiful.
Two hours later, the death knell in Zhongnan Mountain stopped. Everyone in the courtyard stood up. Shen Qianshan went out without saying a word, followed by Prime Minister Gu.
Gu Suliang stepped forward and led Gu Qiang back to Qingshui Garden. After closing the courtyard door, she said, "Don't be anxious, miss. I believe that the master can bring Mr. Gu back."
Gu Qiang was silent. The early morning wind blew in from the window and blew her hair up. This girl was so calm that it was scary.
Even Tingfeng could feel the despair.
Not long after, it started to rain outside without any warning. She turned around and looked over, and saw the pear tree outside the window with its leaves blown by the wind. This was the final swing, and this was how she came to the end of her life. The end.
"The emperor's death has nothing to do with my brother. Before things get more complicated, we must try our best to save my brother." Gu Qiang said firmly.
Gu Suliang frowned. She didn't know why Gu Qiang kept risking her life to protect Gu Huai'an. No matter whether it was before or after losing her memory, this approach never disappeared from Gu Qiang's mind. It seemed that she had always been thinking about this. The goal was hard, but no one said that Gu Huaian would definitely die or that his life would be threatened.
Gu Huaian worked hard in the palace just to hope that Gu Qiang could live a good life. But what about Gu Qiang? She was now going to give up her life to save Gu Huai'an. Gusu Liang really couldn't understand that if she didn't do it right, both of their lives might not be saved.
"You can't go. Now that the emperor has passed away, all the ministers and those who have spoken to the court are gathered in the palace. If you go there now, it will be the wrong decision. Originally, the emperor died, and the royal family was going to express their anger. Mr. Gu, please think clearly." Gu Su Liang said.
Gu Suliang felt that he was a very open-minded person when it came to big things. Gu Qiang should be able to think of some things even if they didn't need to be said. But this time, Gu Qiang obviously didn't think clearly.
Gu Qiang bit her lip. At this time, Mrs. Ye came in from the door with Gu Zhihua holding an oil-paper umbrella, and wiped the rain off her body. Gu Zhihua's illness was obviously cured, and his whole face was rosy, although there was no Shen Zhongbai. The love is nourishing, but there is also some color.
Madam Ye entered Gu Qiang's boudoir without hesitation, then sat down and said: "Qian'er, there's a letter from the palace. As the princess of Luoping, you have to pay filial piety to the emperor. Clean up and someone from the palace will pick you up later." past."
After saying that, he glanced at the mother-in-law behind him. The mother-in-law was obviously ready and moved quickly, as if she was looking for something in Gu Qiang's room.
Gu Qiang didn't say anything, but Gu Suliang asked with a cold face: "What are you doing? Are you so wanton in the princess's yard?"
Tingfeng on the side also took two steps forward and stopped the woman who wanted to come up to search.
There were many people in the room and it seemed very crowded. Madam Ye finally lost her composure and raised her eyes and said to Gu Qiang: "You haven't left the house yet. Everything in the house should belong to the Gu family. Mother, come here and take your things back." Send it to the accounting room for accounting. You also know that everything in the Gu family, even every stitch and thread, must be accounted for."
Gu Qiang sat there quietly without saying anything. Mrs. Ye thought that Gu Qiang had nothing to say, so she continued: "As the head wife of the Gu family, it is not easy for me to be in charge of this big family. Qian'er, you should Can you please be considerate of your mother?"
Gu Qiang could see clearly what Ye was thinking, she wanted Gu Qiang's betrothal gifts and rewards.
There would indeed be a lot of rewards if converted into money, but they did not belong to the Ye family, nor did they belong to the Gu family.
Gu Qiang still didn't speak. Tingfeng, as the eldest maid in the courtyard, raised her eyes and said in a calm and humble manner: "Madam, these things are given to the girl by the guests, not to the Gu family. If they are given to the Gu family, then they should be given to the Gu family." It should be carried to the Gu family's counting house, not to Qingshui Garden. Besides, madam, your family has a great business, so you actually care about the girl's petty gains?"
The way she spoke was very graceful, and her aura was firm and strong, making people feel very at ease.
But as soon as the expression on Ye's face changed, she looked at Tingfeng coldly, patted the table, pointed at Tingfeng and said: "Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here? As the princess now, It’s Qian’er, can’t it be that you are a maid?”
As she spoke, the old woman behind her wanted to step forward, as if she wanted to teach Tingfeng a lesson.
Finally, Gu Qiang, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyes and said in a calm and indifferent voice: "I don't have time to act with you in this scene. Now you know my character more or less. I advise you to be more honest. In the Gu family, you want You can do whatever you want, don’t try to influence me, and don’t interfere with my Qingshui Garden affairs. If you insist on getting involved, I have nothing to say, but you can give it a try."
The calmer she was, the more Ye couldn't sit still.
"Qian'er, are you saying harsh words to me? I advise people like you who want to get married to be gentle. Things have changed. Now the emperor has passed away without any heirs. Guess the throne belongs to your fiancé Shen Qianshan. Or my son-in-law Shen Zhongbai's?" The corner of Ye's mouth raised. Since she was so divided, she didn't care to explain the matter clearly.
When the emperor was still alive, there was no difference between Shen Zhongbai and Shen Qianshan. If there was any difference, then Shen Zhongbai was the prince and Shen Qianshan was the prince.
The so-called prince means that the late emperor gave Shen Qianshan a title, entrusted him with a fiefdom and a mansion, and became his prince freely, without any chance of sharing the throne.
But the prince is different. As long as he is a prince, he may become the emperor. Queen Su's belly has always been unsatisfactory. It may also be because the emperor's dragon body is not good enough and he does not have the leisure time to reproduce.
So now that the emperor passed away suddenly, all the ministers were called over. One was to mourn the emperor, and the other was to canonize the new emperor.
A country cannot be left without an owner for a day. Shen Zhongbai is the next emperor. Almost everyone knows this.
If things really develop like this, Shen Zhongbai's concubine Gu Zhihua will more or less be a concubine in the future, and her good days have finally come.
It's no wonder that Ye and Gu Zhihua are so arrogant now. Even Gu Zhihua, who has always been ill, is in high spirits today and seems to be eager to try for the position of the concubine.
Gu Qiang sneered in her heart. No matter who Shen Zhongbai is, the fact that he does not love Gu Zhihua has never changed. In this case, what is Gu Zhihua still expecting
"So what? Whether it's Shen Zhongbai or Shen Qianshan, I advise you not to forget that Shen Zhongbai is not just your son-in-law, but I am Shen Qianshan's only princess!" Gu Qiang said.
Ye took a sudden breath, her eyes widened, and she was speechless for a moment.
Gu Suliang listened excitedly beside her. This was the most domineering thing she had ever heard Gu Qiang say in so many days.
