Ye's whole body was trembling, and she could clearly hear what the queen meant.
Her hands were slowly tightening. The Gu family was now an old tree in autumn. It didn't have much strength to sway in the wind. It was difficult to protect itself, and it was like walking on thin ice.
As long as the queen insists, Shen Zhongbai will definitely destroy the Gu family in one fell swoop.
Who would have thought that the once all-powerful Gu family was nothing more than an empty shell.
"What do you mean?" Prime Minister Gu seemed to hear something in these words.
The queen didn't care about Prime Minister Gu's question, but approached Ye and continued to ask: "How did my mother die?"
Ms. Ye was so frightened that she cried "Wow". She was nearly forty years old and had never seen any big storms, but now she could no longer hold on.
There have been too many things going on in the Gu family recently. First, Gu Zhihua accidentally aborted Shen Qiangwei's child, and then the Queen Mother suddenly died of illness. Originally, this had nothing to do with the Gu family, but who would have thought that it was related to the Queen? Too many things happened on the same day, and Shen Zhongbai actually blamed all of these things on the Gu family.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just Shen Zhongbai using the Gu family to contain the Queen. But the problem is that the Queen never cares about the Gu family, leaving them to suffer silently and unluckily, placing their hopes on an enemy who has no feelings for them.
Prime Minister Gu turned his head strangely, quickly pulled Mr. Ye up, and then asked seriously: "Why are you crying?"
Ye said twitchingly: "Is it really my fault that the Gu family is like this now? Am I not doing my best for the Gu family? Qian'er blames me when she sees the decline of the Gu family, but what can I do as a woman? I thought that by sending Zhihua to the palace, I could be favored and improve the situation of the Gu family, but Zhihua was not favored either. Master... Zhihua has tried her best, and you can see how much she likes the third prince... "
She cried loudly, and the second wave of mourning people around her turned to look at the situation here.
The queen was very impatient. Suddenly her eyes turned cold. She took out a knife from her waist and put it on Ye's neck. She said coldly: "Shut up, I. If you insist on telling me, I will ask you to go down and have a good discussion with the Queen Mother!"
Mrs. Ye paused immediately, and then looked at Prime Minister Gu as if asking for help.
Prime Minister Gu sighed heavily and said, "Qian'er, no matter what, she is the person who has raised you for more than ten years. How can you treat her like this?"
"Have you raised me for more than ten years? In the past ten years, have you ever cared about whether I am well fed and clothed? Have you ever come to see me on my birthday? Have you ever expressed condolences to me when I was sick? I? How can someone who has never done anything like this have the nerve to come here and ask me to save your Gu family today?" The queen put away the knife in her hand, turned around and left.
She can cut ties with the Gu family today, and whether the Gu family lives or dies in the future has nothing to do with her.
In the imperial study room, Shen Qianshan moved his buttocks on the chair. He found a suitable position in the only small area where he could move, and then raised his eyes to look at Shen Zhongbai.
"Brother, the funeral is not over yet. Isn't it inappropriate for me to tie your brother here?" Shen Qianshan asked with a smile.
In front of him, Shen Zhongbai raised the short knife in his hand and said with the same smile: "How can it be inappropriate? You don't know who caused this funeral, and you don't know what kind of people Gu Qiang comes into contact with. Now I After thinking about it, could it be that you and those people are actually in the same group?"
Shen Qianshan's expression suddenly froze. He bit his lip. The white linen clothes on his body hugged him tightly, making him unable to breathe.
"The Queen Mother and this king have always treated her as her own child. What happened to her was not what I expected. No one can explain the reincarnation of cause and effect." Shen Qianshan said slowly. His voice was calm, but there was really sadness that couldn't be hidden in it.
The silver-haired woman who always sits under the sunset has a pair of beautiful eyes, and there is always a smile in her eyes, like a puddle of autumn water.
Even when he thought about it now, Shen Qianshan was surprised to find that he didn't remember the appearance of his mother-in-law at all, but the appearance of the Queen Mother was deeply engraved in his mind.
Shen Zhongbai snorted coldly, and then continued: "Put aside the mother's matter, do you know that I lost my child and mother yesterday, Shen Qianshan, why can your child be safe, why can you Are you free and easy after taking advantage of a woman?"
Shen Qianshan was silent, his eyes narrowed, and he said slowly and unhurriedly: "Isn't this what you have always wanted? Isn't this what you and your mother have always expected? Now you have finally taken this position, Isn't this good? The world is yours, everything is yours, I only want Gu Qiang, why don't you allow me?"
"But I also want Gu Qiang!" Shen Zhongbai suddenly said loudly.
Shen Qianshan fell silent again. He had never thought about the country. Even when he and Gu Qiang were separated abruptly, he could understand Shen Zhongbai more or less.
But what Shen Qianshan couldn't understand was when and how much power pushed Shen Zhongbai into the abyss. His eyes seemed to be fascinated by something, and he pursued things that did not belong to him. Never look at how much you already have.
God is fair. If he gives something he wants, he will take something back. He wants the country and Gu Qiang, how is that possible
After all, there are still people in this world who only want Gu Qiang but can't get what they want.
As soon as Shen Zhongbai finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open, and the queen stood at the door in scarlet under the linen clothes. She smiled lightly and said in a tepid voice: "Really?"
She did not continue, and the two men in the room turned to look at her.
She walked in and reached out to untie Shen Qianshan's rope.
At this moment, the dagger in Shen Zhongbai's hand took off his hand, stabbed it, and nailed it hard to her hand. The rope was split by the dagger and fell to the ground.
The queen raised her eyes, and Shen Zhongbai smiled lightly and asked, "Since you want to untie him, does that mean you have decided to stay with me?"
He was looking forward to it. This kind of expectation was not in line with his identity, but he was still like that.
"You can't twist your thigh with your little arm. If you insist on persisting, what can I say?" The queen said calmly. She lowered her head to look at Shen Qianshan's wrist, which had been strangled with a rope and was torn apart. A trace of gloom flashed in her eyes. She controlled the rage that was about to explode in her heart and blew gently on Shen Qianshan's wrist.
Shen Zhongbai breathed a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye he saw the two of them being so intimate in front of him as if no one else was around, and he suddenly couldn't bear it.
This woman challenged the bottom line of her patience over and over again, but it was just because he loved her that she so fearlessly ravaged his heart
"I hope you can fulfill your promise." After Shen Zhongbai finished speaking, he stood up and walked slowly to the door.
When he walked to Shen Qianshan, he smelled the scent of pear blossoms on his body. This scent was very familiar because he had also smelled such a scent on the queen.
How ridiculous, she was obviously the queen, but she was Shen Qianshan's woman. The two of them were a couple, and it was she who made the stick with which to beat the couple apart, ruthlessly tearing them apart.
But why? He, Shen Zhongbai, could win over anyone, but he couldn't win over her heart
But it's not impossible to win her heart...
He turned his head, and the candlelight in the room was very dim, illuminating Shen Qianshan's face. His face was peaceful, and he lowered his head and looked tenderly at the queen who was treating his wounds. The corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes were clear.
If he disappears...then even if the queen is wholehearted, she can only miss him.
How could Shen Zhongbai not know that he had actually thought about killing Shen Qianshan many times, but he couldn't bear it. Now he finally made up his mind. He would not allow anyone in this world to be equal to him, let alone a woman.
That night. The palace was completely white. Shen Qianshan was sitting next to the lake. He turned around and asked softly: "Qian'er, do you still remember that the palace was so white six years ago? That was when the late emperor passed away and he He personally made the engagement between the two of us."
The queen was at a loss. That was what Gu Qiang experienced six years ago. Although some of the things Gu Qiang experienced would be automatically added to her memories, after all, the number was too huge, and she had indeed not slept recently. Those things There is no chance for memories to be added.
Another reason she didn't sleep was that every time she woke up, the world had changed dramatically.
She was afraid... She was afraid that Shen Qianshan wouldn't be there when she woke up.
She was afraid that when she woke up, she would be told that Shen Qianshan had been dead for many years. The feeling of powerlessness and loneliness of being the only one left in the world would be enough to crush her.
Now he was sitting next to her, and the scent of pear blossoms on her body was just like six years ago. He was still so calm and free, but she didn't even dare to reach out and touch him.
If only time could stay at this moment forever, he would be by his side forever.
At that time, the queen was not aware of her deep attachment to Shen Qianshan, but when she discovered it later, she was already in a new situation.
The Empress Dowager's mourning for three days after her death forcefully forced out the dark circles under the eyes of everyone in the court. When they went to court again, everyone looked like a dying person who had been suffering from kidney deficiency for several years.
Queen Gu Yin was fine after accepting Shen Zhongbai's request, but Gu Zhihua was locked up in the cold palace to reflect.
People in the court felt that this matter was nothing to the Gu family. After all, Gu Zhihua was not the legitimate daughter. As long as the queen was still sitting safely on the top spot in the harem, the decline of the Gu family would be Unexpectedly.
It's just that Prime Minister Gu started to think about it in his heart.
One month later, Shen Qiangwei came out of her confinement. Her body was stronger, the look of compassion on her face disappeared, and her face was red and full of energy.
