But it was too late. The small group quickly disappeared into the palace. Shen Zhongbai still stood there without moving, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
Shen Qiangwei moved on the ground and turned around. This time she saw Shen Zhongbai standing there. She bit her lip tightly and said nothing, but her expression was extremely malicious.
Shen Qiangwei seemed to understand in an instant, but Shen Zhongbai had already appeared.
He had also seen himself being trampled under someone's feet a long time ago, but he didn't reach out to help him. Who did he think he was
He once showed that he liked her very much in front of many people. She thought it was true, but she was slowly falling. Only now did she realize that this was just a bubble he had given to her, and she had never seen it clearly.
She found it funny and got up from the ground. Everyone around her was wiped out. It was very difficult for her.
If Shen Zhongbai could show up at this time and help her up, she would pretend that nothing happened and she would be willing to fall into his arms again, but he just turned around, leaving behind a silhouette that made people collapse.
Outside the palace, everyone drove all the way to the yard given by Princess Changning.
The courtyard is on the edge of the capital. Although no one lives in it, as Chang Ning said, this courtyard is taken care of all year round, and there is an endless stream of maids. Even at night, no one rests.
Gu Qiang got off the carriage, helped Gu Huai'an to the main hall, changed his clothes, and fed him porridge, and he finally regained consciousness.
The first thing he said after waking up was: "Gu Qiang, are you crazy? Do you know the consequences of doing this? You are such a grown-up person, why don't you use your brain at all when doing things?"
Gu Qiang stood quietly one step away from Gu Huaian, and saw that his face was red with anger, and knew that he was really worried about her.
"What about brother? What does Princess Changning mean when she tells Qian'er? Tell her about the funeral? Brother probably thinks that Qian'er is the kind of selfish, shameless and heartless woman? Even if his brother died unjustly, he can still rest assured. Sleeping on the pillow until dawn? Just live like that and not feel guilty at all?" Gu Qiang's eyes were also red.
Gu Huaian doesn't know how sad these days are. He probably didn't expect Gu Qiang to say this. But after thinking about it carefully, Gu Qiang was right. This girl has never been an ungrateful person, not to mention that this person is her. His brother whom he always wanted to protect.
After a brief silence, Gu Huaian sighed heavily, then stood up, smiled helplessly at Gu Qiang, and held her in his arms.
The worries of many days seemed to disappear at this moment. The moment she rushed over, it seemed that her heart was filled with all the warmth, and she was so happy that she almost fainted.
Gu Huaian felt the same way. After his life was threatened again and again, he finally understood that there was a reason for his sister's determination. She was worried about him. This kind of worry that he felt was unnecessary continued to occur. Saved his life once.
The warmth in Gu Huai'an's heart surged up. He slowly touched Gu Qiang's head and said, "Qian'er, don't worry about my brother. From now on, my brother will listen to you and stay by your side, okay?"
Gu Qiang nodded heavily. She knew that her brother might not be able to do what he said, but she still believed that her brother would not abandon her and leave this world first. She was his last nostalgia.
That night, after Gu Huaian took a shower, he was finally able to sleep comfortably and peacefully.
Gu Qiang sat quietly on the chair in front of the yard, her heart as bright as the moonlight like water.
Shen Qianshan sat over, covered her with thick clothes, handed her a soup, and sat next to her. The fragrance of his body covered her and floated in the surrounding air.
Gu Qiang smiled lightly, but didn't say anything.
Shen Qianshan was silent for a while, then hesitated and finally spoke: "Qian'er, what happened today when Shen Qiangwei blocked the road was obviously directed and acted by Shen Zhongbai behind his back. We rescued Mr. Gu, so he turned a blind eye. Close one eye, but this does not mean that he is doing good, it can only mean that he will make big moves in the future."
Gu Qiang's smile gradually disappeared. How could she not be clear? Shen Zhongbai would really do anything to marry her. Although she was thankful that she had such charm, she always felt that was not the case.
Emotions are about a person who is in love with each other and wants to do what they like. What's the difference between it and a robber
"Do you know what he will do?" Gu Qiang asked.
Among the few memories Gu Qiang had, Shen Zhongbai was indeed not a gentleman, but there were almost no more profound memories. If she tried to gain insight into Shen Zhongbai's next move, she could almost only rely on Shen Qianshan.
Shen Qianshan still looked worried, and the gloomy aura surrounding him was stronger than ever before. The feeling seemed to be a lack of confidence in the future.
She was certain that he had never been so, although she didn't know why she was so sure.
"The first thing he will do when he becomes emperor is to ruin our engagement." Shen Qianshan said.
Every word struck his heart hard. She didn't know that even breathing hurt when he said these words.
Gu Qiang also paused, took a breath of cold air, and just said: "He is dreaming!"
"Qian'er, I know you don't like him, but he will always find various reasons to tie you down, but you can't do anything to him. Qian'er, I've thought about it, if you can restore the memories you lost before It is good for you to find it, at least you understand the things that can tie you down." Shen Qianshan said.
Gu Qiang turned her head and lowered her head. Her shadow was on the smooth stone slab on the ground, motionless, like a statue, unable to see her features. Naturally, I cannot empathize with it.
"Have you long wanted me to regain my memory?" Gu Qiang finally asked after a long time.
Shen Qianshan didn't answer this time. He looked at her quietly.
He naturally hopes that she can recover her memory and let her know how much he loved her and how much love he poured into her. But she has the opportunity to give up everything and start over. Not everyone has this opportunity. , he respects her.
It was out of respect that he wanted her to remember everything.
He didn't want Gu Qiang to live so freely now. It wasn't that he was bad, it was just that he felt that she had lost her soul.
The soulless Gu Qiang didn't know what he was going to do. He was always trying hard to catch something, or even try hard to do something. The way he was helpless in the end made him feel so distressed.
There was a big mountain in the distance. The mountain was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly. When Gu Qiang raised his head, he heard the cry of unknown insects. It was faint and dense, something that could not be ignored and could be ignored at any time. Quiet...peaceful.
She likes to be quiet, peaceful, and unchanging, but her life is destined not to be like this. In this case, she should really find what she once lost, if possible.
She turned her head, smiled slightly and said, "Okay, if I can get those back, I'll be happy."
Shen Qianshan smiled and seemed to have thought of something again. He suddenly grabbed Gu Qiang's hand and asked anxiously: "Qian'er, what will you do if Shen Zhongbai cancels our engagement after he succeeds to the throne?"
how? This was obviously going to happen soon. What was even more frightening than this was that if Shen Zhongbai issued an imperial edict and insisted on marrying Gu Qiang, she would not be qualified to go back on it at that time.
The best way is for the two of them to get married before Shen Zhongbai takes the throne. In this way, Shen Zhongbai will definitely not be able to steal his brother's woman.
But the most important point is that the emperor had just passed away a few days ago. As a member of the royal family, he was not allowed to get married.
Wait, Gu Qiang's eyes lit up, and she felt as if she had found a breakthrough. Shen Qianshan couldn't marry her at this time, and Shen Zhongbai couldn't accept her either.
After a royal affair, you are not allowed to marry for three years, but it does not matter if you take a concubine or marry a concubine. If you are not marrying from a well-known family, it is not considered a happy event.
"If he insists on marrying me, I will say that I will not marry unless I am a queen. I should be able to buy some time. When I find my purpose, everything will come to an end." After she finished speaking, she looked up into the distance. , his eyes flashed, and he saw an undercurrent surging around the courtyard wall, as if there was someone around.
But she still didn't take it to heart. She knew exactly where this place was. Just like Chang Ning said, no one could come in and no one could hurt her.
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Qiang washed her face, and Gusu Lianghe Tingfeng came over and asked Gu Qiang to change into clothes. These days, she has been keeping filial piety for the young and deceased emperor. Although she usually likes to wear white clothes, But she always looks too plain in what she wears. Today she changed into milky white clothes, which are much more pleasing to the eye than the linen clothes.
As soon as she finished changing her clothes, she saw a sedan appear at the door. Aunt Zhang from the Gu family stood there, looking at her with a low eyebrow.
After Tingfeng made some inquiries, he came back and said to Gu Qiang, "Girl, Prime Minister Gu asked you to go back quickly, saying that Shen Zhongbai is here."
Gu Qiang sighed heavily, knowing that Shen Zhongbai would not let her go like this, but he didn't expect that a man with such a small mind would not be able to wait even a day.
Gu Huaian just walked out of the room and stood in front of Gu Qiang, firmly refusing to allow her to go back.
She walked out from behind him and said with a smile: "Brother, this matter will be resolved sooner or later. Do you think you can hide for a whole day instead of for a lifetime?"
"If you go back, Gu Zhizhang will definitely send you out for the sake of his status and family. What will you do then?" Gu Huaian frowned.
He knew best what kind of thing that old man was. If Gu Zhizhang had some humanity, how could he, as Gu Zhizhang's biological son, end up like this
