Gu Qiang raised her eyes and looked at Shen Zhongbai strangely. She didn't understand what the man in front of her was thinking. He was sad because he didn't get her, or because he didn't get her as he wished.
If everything developed as he hoped, he wouldn't be so strange now.
The violent aura radiating around him made people feel uncomfortable, probably because he was going to rule the entire world, and that royal aura suddenly opened up, and he actually used his royal aura to suppress Gu Qiang, for such a little woman.
In the palace, she was powerless and had no one to rely on. All she could do was look at him quietly and let him know that she was protesting.
"What do you want?" Gu Qiang asked coldly.
Shen Zhongbai gritted his teeth, approached Gu Qiang, smiled evilly, and said softly: "I want you to marry me. Your wedding to Shen Qianshan? Doesn't count."
Gu Qiang stared into his eyes, as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes. God knows she did have such thoughts at this time.
"Impossible, you have no idea how difficult it is for us to get to this point and how much we have to pay!" She is sitting here calmly now because her brother Gu Huaian is silently supporting her behind her. Because of this, her brother was imprisoned in the palace. She was so anxious that she kept restlessly trying to rescue her brother.
Shen Zhongbai seemed to be very happy that Gu Qiang was so annoyed. He could make her notice him. Even if she hated him, at least she couldn't forget him.
Someone walked over in the distance. Even though there was a solemn atmosphere in the palace at this time, the smile on her face was still so light and beautiful.
If they just looked at this woman's face, no one would know that this woman was an courtesan who came out of a brothel. Every move she made had an elegance that didn't suit her.
Shen Zhongbai turned his head, looked at the woman who was slowly approaching, and suddenly turned to Gu Qiang who was sitting on the chair and said: "If you marry me, half of the world will be yours, and the position of the master of the harem will be as long as you want." If you want it, I’ll give it to you.”
"What if I don't?" Gu Qiang raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Zhongbai provocatively.
"If you don't, then your brother will be imprisoned in the palace forever, and he may die at some point. You know that I will do anything to get you." After Shen Zhongbai finished speaking, he turned around to meet the man who came over. Shen Qiangwei held her in her arms, seeming to demonstrate to Gu Qiang, and also seemed to express her deep affection for Shen Qiangwei.
He finally caught her weakness, and all feelings will become her weakness, whether it is family affection or love.
She lowered her head and clenched her fist tightly, her long nails embedded in the palm of her hand. It was too cold in the late autumn, and the blood dripped on the ground drop by drop, but she seemed not to feel it.
What kind of position as a queen, what kind of world? When had Gu Qiang ever cared about this? She wholeheartedly hoped that her brother would have a good ending, and his brother also hoped for her, but it was sad that he ended up in this situation.
Behind the flower wall in the yard, Chang Ning came out wearing white linen and sat next to Gu Qiang.
She poured a cup of tea for Gu Qiang, then drank it herself. She took a few sips before raising her eyes and said, "I have already met your brother. If you are ready, we will take him away tonight."
Gu Qiang turned to look at Changning in surprise. You must know that the woman in front of her is the eldest princess of the country. She has already sent away two emperors, so she is very qualified.
She, Gu Qiang, just happened to be granted the position of princess by the Queen Mother, so it was impossible for her to be on an equal footing with Chang Ning.
"Are you telling the truth? Your Royal Highness, you also know that my brother..." Gu Qiang said in a low voice.
The deceased emperor and Shen Zhongbai were biological brothers. The mother of the eldest princess Chang Ning was an inconspicuous concubine in the palace. Normally, her relationship with the emperor and Shen Zhongbai was not frank, but Queen Su wanted everyone in the world to think that It was Gu Huaian who put the emperor to death.
Gu Qiang didn't know whether Shen Zhongbai was involved in this, but if Chang Ning was also involved, it might be dangerous.
"I know very well how the emperor's sister-in-law wants to lock up Mr. Gu. I also know that it is because Mr. Gu was wronged that I want to help you. Now the palace is in chaos, and many things need to be taken care of. , is the best time for Mr. Gu to leave. If Shen Zhongbai really takes the position, the first thing he will deal with will be Mr. Gu's affairs." Chang Ning also lowered his voice and said.
Her tone was calm, but when Gu Qiang thought about it carefully, she felt cold sweat break out all over her body.
Why did Changning help her? She remembered that her relationship with Changning was limited to casual conversations with each other on weekdays, and they were not even close to each other. If Changning helped Gu Huaian escape, this matter would be exposed in the future. Even if Changning was the eldest princess, she would not be able to escape being raped. punish.
Even though she knew the consequences would be so serious, Chang Ning still had to do it. She had even made arrangements very clearly, but she couldn't understand.
Before Gu Qiang had time to answer, she saw Shen Qianshan walking over from a short distance away. After sitting down, he nodded with Chang Ning.
The two of them seemed to have already discussed this, which made Gu Qiang even more nervous.
The matter of rescuing Gu Huaian has nothing to do with anyone, but only herself.
Chang Ning took out a key from the hand of the female officer behind him and handed it to Shen Qianshan and said: "After taking Mr. Gu out, take this key to the house on the outskirts of Beijing. It was gifted to me by the late emperor. There is no People can go in, and besides, Shen Zhongbai will definitely keep a close eye on Mr. Gu. Since he has already broken up, he must be the fastest and bring the best secret guards. Even if Shen Zhongbai finds out, it will not help, after all, he has not been canonized yet. "
Gu Qiang knew that even though everyone in the world now knew that Shen Zhongbai would be the future emperor, the emperor had just passed away not long ago, and all the funeral arrangements had to be taken care of before the new emperor could ascend the throne. During this period, there were a few things to do You have to hurry up about anything, otherwise you won't be able to find such a good opportunity in the future.
This is why Changning and Shen Qianshan are so anxious.
After Chang Ning gave the order, she stood up to prepare. When she turned to leave, Gu Qiang suddenly stood up and saluted Chang Ning respectfully, with a compassionate voice: "Thank you, princess."
Changning turned her head. She was still wearing a filial piety cloth on her head, and all her gold hairpin jewelry had been replaced by silver and crystal jewelry. She smiled brightly, which was different from every time before. It seemed to be a smile from the heart, but her tone was different. As indifferent as before: "It's not for you."
Gu Qiang reacted and laughed too.
Shen Qianshan pulled her to sit down again and said: "I heard everything Shen Zhongbai said to you. His Sima Zhao's heart is visible to everyone. Qian'er, you don't have to carry everything. If you don't know how, If you do, just tell me and I will always be by your side."
Gu Qiang sniffed. Although she was moved, she always felt that there was something that made her unable to feel at ease. She raised her eyes and said with a smile: "It's naturally good to have you by my side, but if I let your life It’s a mess. How can I have the face to be by your side?”
This silly girl, she has no idea that as long as she is by his side, even if the future is doomed, he can face it with a smile. The days with her are the most beautiful existences in life.
It's just that she doesn't know.
Gu Qiang leaned quietly on his shoulder, and the fragrance of his body covered her, making her feel calm.
That night, the palace was still a sea of white. It was a rare sight. The solemnity made everyone here feel imprisoned. They were walking in a hurry in the palace, but they couldn't find their destination in their hearts.
Gu Qiang put on the maid's clothes. Standing next to her was Gusu Liang, whom she had brought this time. After Tingfeng learned about their plan, she wanted to follow them, but due to her lack of skills, she had no choice but to go first. Get out of the palace, otherwise after rescuing Gu Huaian, Tingfeng would be unable to escape alone in the palace.
With Gu Suliang by his side, Gu Qiang suddenly gained a lot of confidence.
Walking deeper into the palace, the further back they went, the more nervous the two of them became.
What you can see from the outside of the palace is the most majestic and inviolable side of this huge and magnificent building. What you can see in the back garden is the gentle and beautiful side of this building. It can only be seen in the middle of this endless courtyard and house. The unknown side.
The lights were dimly lit in those small courtyards, floating in the air like fireflies. Gu Qiang didn't know if there were some women in those courtyards. They were waiting, but they gave up waiting. They were forgotten in the corner. , living a life that no one cares about, enjoying peace and enduring loneliness.
Gu Suliang held Gu Qiang's hand. Her hand was cold and bone-chilling. Her body could no longer bear the filial piety in the palace these days, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
Gu Suliang smelled it carefully with his nose. This seemed to be a secret technique in their Xiaoyao Mountain. Only people from the same sect could smell it.
She relied on this nose to lead Gu Qiang to the back of a huge palace, and saw two people waiting there.
The two people were wearing white clothes, which looked very obvious in the dark night, but fortunately, it was like this in the palace now, and no one paid attention here.
The two people were Jin Ye and Suge. They stood there, looking relaxed, as if they were just cracking melon seeds and gossiping while waiting.
Obviously such a task is not a big deal to them at all.
Jin Ye walked up and said, "The master and the female officer next to the princess have gone in. It is estimated that they will be able to come out in half an hour. We have given a dose of poison for ten people. Even the tiger has been stunned. Don't worry."
Gu Su Liang shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate Shen Zhongbai, he must know that we are going to take action, and maybe he has been prepared for it."
As soon as Gu Suliang finished speaking, lights suddenly lit up around him.
