It is true that Shen Zhongbai didn't like Gu Zhihua, but he made everything smooth sailing for her materially. She always wanted to be jealous when she was full and had nothing to do. This time, she sent Gu Zhihua to the cold palace in the hope that she would reflect on it.
"As a mother, I just hope that His Highness can cherish Zhihua. It is not easy for her. It seems that His Highness has never tried to treat Zhihua properly. For a girl like her, if His Highness is interested, she will risk her life. ." Ye said.
She really seemed a bit motherly at this time, but Shen Zhongbai was too lazy to look at her.
"I know. I will release the painting concubine tomorrow and pamper her to see what she can do for me." Shen Zhongbai said with good intentions, and then said: "If my mother-in-law is fine, just step back. I really need to rest."
When Ms. Ye walked out of the imperial study room, it was already dark. She rubbed her dry eyes and smiled knowingly, "Zhihua, mother can finally help you."
The imperial study room was very quiet. Shen Zhongbai listened to his heartbeat beating in his chest, his head was swollen, and he felt that he really should go out for a walk.
The eunuch stepped forward and put a robe on him, and asked softly: "Does the emperor want to go to Weiyang Palace again today? The Queen is probably asleep at this time. If you go again, it seems..."
During this month, Shen Zhongbai went to the door of Weiyang Palace almost every night. Sometimes the Queen's palace had lights on, and he stood there, watching quietly until the lights went out. At that time, he could rest assured They left and fell asleep together at the same time.
Sometimes the light would stay on all night. Shen Zhongbai would stand up late at night, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Shen Zhongbai took a breath, nodded and said, "Go and see if she is asleep."
The lake outside Weiyang Palace was as calm as a piece of beautiful jade, emitting a faint light under the moonlight.
Shen Zhongbai was sitting in the pavilion by the lake. There was a glass of light wine and two fruits on the table. He drank in front of the moonlight until the wine bottomed out. On the willow branches above the moon, there was already a trace of confusion between his brows and eyes, which seemed to be caused by the impact of wine. Having gained the courage, he walked to the door of Weiyang Palace and knocked hard on the door twice.
There was a sound of kicking footsteps. Gu Suliang put on his clothes and pulled the door open. He looked at Shen Zhongbai coldly: "What are you doing?"
Gusu Liang was from Shen Qianshan and had fought against Shen Zhongbai. Although Shen Zhongbai disliked this maid very much, he couldn't make a move and was very distressed.
Because of a series of previous events, this woman did not respect him. He was still very concerned about it before, but now he is very indifferent.
"Where's Qian'er?" Shen Zhongbai asked after shaking his body.
Gusu Liang was speechless. She cut her throat and said, "At this time, as a lonely person, the girl has already fallen asleep."
Shen Zhongbai lowered his head and chuckled, and said reluctantly: "My queen, she fell asleep before I fell asleep. Is this ridiculous? Wake her up and help me rest."
Gusu Liang gritted his teeth, feeling that if he ended up like this, no one would know about the man in front of him, right? However, from the corner of his eye, he spotted a group of people who were integrated with the darkness outside the wall of Weiyang Palace. They were the new guards trained by Shen Zhongbai.
Since the last time Bai Su led people to attack the deepest part of the palace, Shen Zhongbai suddenly realized that his awareness of prevention was simply too low, so he spent a lot of money to train a lot of people for self-defense, and the palace's alertness also increased. It's several times more strict than before.
Seeing this situation, Gu Suliang finally gave up the idea of rushing forward and killing Shen Zhongbai.
"You should go back. The girl's sleep quality has not been very good recently. If you provoke her, you will lose your temper when you wake up." After Gu Suliang finished speaking, he was about to close the door. Shen Zhongbai quickly grasped the door handle with quick eyes and hands. Got in.
Gusu Liang felt cold in her heart. The moment he got in, she closed the door with her foot. Then she turned out the short knife in her hand and pressed it heavily against Shen Zhongbai's neck. Her eyes were sharp, as if she wanted to eat him. He said in one word: "Tell you to get out!"
Perhaps the coldness on the short knife made Shen Zhongbai wake up from his drink instantly. He twisted his neck and wanted to break free from Gu Suliang's uniform. However, at this moment, another knife was also placed on his neck. .
That was Ling'er's knife. It was obvious that Ling'er had just gotten up from the bed. Her hair was messy and scattered on her shoulders. Her eyes were equally cold, but she didn't say a word.
Shen Zhongbai had no choice but to be subdued by two women, so he threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground, raised his hands above his head, and said helplessly: "I know I was wrong, how about letting me go?"
In fact, Gusu Liang had no intention of killing Shen Zhongbai. It was better for everyone to be alive than to die together.
So she gave Ling'er a look, and the latter put away the knife. Gusu Liang also slowly put the knife down and said in a warning tone: "Don't forget, I once had the opportunity to kill about you."
Shen Zhongbai nodded casually and said, "Remember."
After saying that, he pushed open the door of Weiyang Palace and staggered away.
The moonlight stretched his back, and he walked forward alone. Ling'er looked at him, and suddenly her heart moved, so she turned around and asked: "Sister Liang, in fact, he is quite pitiful, right? "
Gu Su Liang was about to close the door and go back to sleep. When he heard Ling'er ask this, he stopped and looked at Shen Zhongbai.
He is the master of this country and has supreme rights. However, in those days, he experienced the double blow of the tragic death of his mother and child, and it was as if he had become a different person.
"It is indeed pitiful, but who is not pitiful for those who live under this high wall?" Gu Su Liang sighed.
Shen Qiangwei, Gu Zhihua, and even the Queen, these people couldn't get what they wanted, who wouldn't pity them
And the person who caused all this is Shen Zhongbai, he deserves to be pitiful!
Ling'er didn't seem to understand, so she closed the door and went to sleep.
The queen lay quietly on the bed and turned sideways. She could not sleep well. She was looking forward to a new world when she woke up. She was full of curiosity about that world, but she was also afraid that after waking up, The situation will be even more bleak.
It was extremely uncomfortable to fall asleep with such a timid mood.
After receiving the Queen's instructions, Gu Qiang closed the diary book and rubbed her temples because she wanted to get the Queen's news so much that it made her nervous.
What does it mean to be just a queen? Why not let her marry Shen Zhongbai? Or this question should be asked another way, how could I marry Shen Zhongbai
She couldn't think about it clearly, so she fell asleep without thinking too much.
The next morning, just after dawn, she heard the sound of someone walking around in the room. She slowly woke up and saw Gu Huaian pacing. Although he tried to keep his voice low, he still couldn't hide his anxiety. .
Seeing Gu Qiang wake up, he immediately took two steps forward and sat beside her bed, and asked with concern: "Qian'er, did I wake you up?"
She shook her head and asked, "Brother, did something happen to you when you came here so early?"
She just felt a sense of powerlessness coming over her, but she didn't take it to heart.
"It's a good thing. My brother heard that there is a poisonous doctor in Yuzhou outside the capital that can cure your amnesia. If you are ready to retrieve your memory, my brother will take you to see him."
When Gu Huaian said this, his eyes lit up.
He is very interested in medicine. Fortunately, the patient this time is his sister, so she will follow his lead.
"No, brother, have you forgotten? How did Qian'er prevent you from leaving the capital before? Everything is OK, but leaving the capital is not possible! And you just escaped from the palace. Shen Zhongbai didn't say anything on the face, but he said Maybe someone has been sent to arrest you in private." Gu Qiang thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong.
Shen Zhongbai was here yesterday. He was persuading Gu Zhizhang to cancel the engagement between Gu Qiang and Shen Qianshan, which meant that Shen Qianshan and Gu Qiang could no longer get married.
Gu Qiang was not too sad. It wasn't that she didn't like Shen Qianshan, it was just that it was too early for her to get married.
But instead of being with Shen Qianshan, she must be with Shen Zhongbai. She remembered the queen's reminder that even if she died, she could not marry Shen Zhongbai.
"But Qian'er, what my brother wants to do most right now is to help you recover your memory. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, my brother will do it." Gu Huaian said.
"Since my brother insists, let's discuss it with the Ninth Prince, and my sister will go out with you." After Gu Qiang finished speaking, Gu Suliang had already come in and packed everything.
Gu Huaian opened his mouth, obviously thinking about how to stop it, but he also knew Gu Qiang's temperament. When had anything she decided changed
In the morning, a small sedan quietly left Gu's house. Ye, who was sitting in the main hall drinking tea, stroked the purple jade bracelet on her wrist. After listening to the report from the informant in the house, she sneered and said, "Hang around with Gu Huai'an. What good thing can that do? Gu Huaian dreams of Gu Qiang regaining his memory, but memory can be recovered if he wants to? "
She knew exactly how much medicine she had used that time. In order to make Gu Qiang lose his memory, she spent a lot of money on her dowry when she married, and found the most famous poison doctor in Yuzhou to make medicine. Antidote to amnesia.
"There is only one method in the world that can restore memory, but no one will use that method. If I don't tell you, no one will know." When I asked for medicine, the poisonous doctor said that. Ye's brain is not stupid. Her understanding of this sentence is that the only antidote exists, but it is estimated to be life-threatening, so no one will do it, so the memory cannot be restored.
There are many people who keep saying they love Gu Qiang, but there are probably no people who really want to sacrifice their lives.
"Let her go." Ye said.
Then the maid said: "The third prince came to the house yesterday and asked me to marry Gu Qiang."
