Since it was Shen Zhongbai's invitation, Gu Qiang had to go. If his behavior in the palace aroused Shen Zhongbai's dissatisfaction and affected Shen Qianshan outside the palace, everything he had done would be in vain. .
Gu Qiang sighed helplessly, and after sending away the little girl sent by Gu Zhihua, she chose a piece of clothing from the cabinet. The late emperor passed away recently, and it was during the national mourning period. Gu Qiang placed a few clothes in the cabinet. The clothes she wore were also very plain. She casually jumped out of a relatively ordinary piece of clothing, washed it briefly, and arrived at the place Shen Zhongbai said.
The weather was getting colder, and Gu Qiang didn't understand what the purpose of Shen Zhongbai's invitation to come over for tea at this time was. During his stay in the palace, although Shen Zhongbai often went to the place where he lived, he never I haven't done anything over the top.
But Gu Qiang can't forget what kind of person Shen Zhongbai is. He kills people like crazy. Anyone who blocks his way to the throne will be eliminated by him. Gu Qiang will never forget Shen Zhongbai's cold words to him, even if Those were what she saw when she fell into the water. In fact, they had not happened yet, but it was a fact that Shen Zhongbai killed many people. In order to ruin her and Shen Qianshan's wedding, he even killed an innocent person.
Gu Qiang arrived at the Imperial Garden and saw Shen Zhongbai sitting in the garden from a distance. From a distance, he could see an enchanting figure serving Shen Zhongbai. There were several other women in gorgeous clothes, but Gu Qiang did not see her. I've seen them before, I guess they are some of Shen Zhongbai's concubines.
Places with many women were the most troublesome. She really didn't know what would happen, and she didn't understand why Shen Zhongbai kept staring at her when there were so many concubines around him.
"My maid, Gu Qiang, pays homage to the third prince."
Gu Qiang leaned forward slightly and glanced in the direction of Shen Zhongbai. Shen Zhongbai pushed Gu Zhihua away from him without leaving a trace, and then said, "Qiang'er, you don't have to be polite, just sit over there. "
Shen Zhongbai was still very patient with Gu Qiang. Although Gu Zhihua was dissatisfied with being pushed away, he still endured it and sat back in his seat.
"Today, the Japanese prince got some fine tea, so I invite all my beloved concubines to come and taste it. The beautiful scenery in the imperial garden happens to be beautiful. Let's take this opportunity to have a good tea and get together."
As soon as Shen Zhongbai finished speaking, Gu Qiang felt a burst of contempt in his heart. None of the women in Shen Zhongbai's harem was a fuel-efficient lamp. Shen Qiangwei was like this, and Gu Zhihua was even more so. I really didn't understand how Shen Zhongbai could think of such a group of people. How about getting together with women who are watching each other die
"Sisters and sisters, we see each other every day. It doesn't matter to you, but since my sister is here today, I naturally have to entertain her well." Gu Zhihua lowered his head gently, raising a hint of vagueness at the corner of his mouth. The smile actually put Gu Qiang on guard. Although Gu Zhihua was not very smart, he was quite scheming. She must have some back-up plan when she said this now.
"I am so blind that I didn't recognize that this belated beauty is the princess of Changning who was awarded by the late emperor. But I don't know why the princess, as a member of the ninth prince's family, would know how to do this at the third prince's family banquet today. Appearing here?"
Gu Zhihua turned his head and tilted his head towards the woman who just spoke, "Sister Yu doesn't know something. Although my sister married the Ninth Prince twice, there were problems at both weddings, so she hasn't been able to talk about it until now. The etiquette is completed, so my sister has not been able to enter the Ninth Prince's genealogy until now, and she is not considered the Ninth Princess." Gu Zhihua nodded towards Concubine Yu, who clearly sounded like she was protecting her. Gu Qiang actually pushed Gu Qiang in front of everyone.
Gu Zhihua pushed Gu Qiang in front of everyone, letting everyone know that Gu Qiang failed to enter the royal family tree after marrying twice, and Gu Qiang suddenly became the laughing stock of everyone.
"This concubine is good at talking. When the late emperor was still alive, he had already made me Princess Changning. Could it be that you have never entered the palace with the third prince, so you don't know me at all?" Gu Qiang stood up slowly and prepared to fight back.
"Princess Changning, what you said makes no sense. The time I spent with this concubine in the palace is longer than the time the princess stayed in the palace. Does the monarch seem to be mocking this concubine?"
"That's not true. Concubine Yu is not aware of this. The late emperor has recently mourned. You are wearing such bright colors now, and you can actually kill everyone. If I am not mistaken, the clothes you are wearing are mine. My sister gave it to you, it's really bright. I don't know if Concubine Yu wanted to wear it herself, or..." Gu Qiang deliberately didn't finish her sentence, but looked meaningfully at Gu Zhihua opposite her. Zhi Hua's face suddenly turned pale. When he gave the dress to Concubine Yu, he wanted to win her over and let her help him fight against Gu Qiang, but he didn't expect that Gu Qiang would kill her instead. An army.
Concubine Yu suddenly lost her momentum. She looked at the clothes she was wearing and subconsciously looked at Shen Zhongbai who was sitting on it. Because of the farce between Gu Zhihua and Concubine Yu, Shen Zhongbai's expression was already very serious. It was bad. Concubine Yu knew she was in the wrong and sat down angrily, not daring to say anything more.
"Sister, what you said is that the dress I gave to sister Yu Concubine was because I thought it suited sister Yu, so I gave it to her. Sister, sister is here alone and is already isolated. How could my sister frame my sister like this?”
"Did I frame Zhihua, or did Zhihua dislike my sister and want an outsider to frame her?"
"That's enough!" Shen Zhongbai finally couldn't help it. From the very beginning when he sat in the imperial garden, he had a lot of objections to the clothes Concubine Yu was wearing today. He didn't expect that she would join forces with Gu Zhihua to deal with Gu Zhihua. Qiang made things difficult in every possible way, and now that things had come to a point, he really couldn't bear it any longer.
"Concubine Yu, during the national mourning period, when you travel in red and green, do you ever take this prince seriously?"
Gu Zhihua's original intention was to prevent Gu Qiang from coming to power, but he did not expect that the final result would be like this. He suddenly became the target of public criticism. From then on, not only did Gu Qiang become more and more defensive about him, but also Concubine Lian Yu, a brainless woman, became wary of herself, and Shen Zhongbai...
Gu Zhihua's trick today was a failure.
Gu Qiang always worried about Shen Zhongbai. Even though he was able to protect himself in the palace, he still didn't like this kind of life. Has Shen Qianshan recovered now? Has he woke up? Are you worried about your own affairs
With a "bang", Gu Qiang was really distracted, and the hand holding the cup suddenly moved away. The cup fell at Gu Qiang's feet, and instantly broke into pieces.
Anyway, Gu Qiang, who was deep in thought, called back. The little maid next to her was picking up debris on the ground, and she was still mumbling different words to prevent her from moving. Gu Qiang didn't know what was going on, but she squatted down in confusion. , reaching out to touch the fragments on the ground, as if wanting to pick them up...
"Princess, please don't move. Just let your slaves take care of it."
Gu Qiang's brain seemed to have not yet regained consciousness, and she did not listen to the words of the little palace maid. She reached out and picked up a piece. The sharp porcelain piece instantly left a bloody mouth on her hand. It was not very obvious, but it was very clear. Blood soon oozed out.
"Princess..." The little palace maid suddenly knelt on the ground with her ears down, "Feixue, get the medicine box quickly!"
"Forget it..." Gu Qiang's voice was very low. She lowered her head and spoke slowly, "You can go out first. I have something to deal with by myself, so just leave it alone."
If possible, wouldn't she want to live a good life? Even though he has gone through so many things, God still refuses to let him go.
It would be nice if Shen Qianshan was here. Ever since she fell into the water, she knew a lot about herself. From then on, she became like a hedgehog, always wary of the people around her. But Shen Qianshan was different. Shen Qianshan Mountains can do many, many things for themselves.
He will prepare a lot for himself. When she is by his side, she never has to worry about the consequences of doing this. But now, she has too many things to consider. She only thinks about it. Well, the conflict between Gu Zhihua and Concubine Yu would make Shen Zhongbai have no time to take care of his own side, but he never thought about whether Gu Zhihua would have any trouble to deal with him.
Gu Qiang smiled secretly. She was really useless. Was she already like this when Shen Qianshan was not by her side? He was so dependent on Shen Qianshan that Shen Qianshan took pictures of him everywhere, but he didn't think anything about Shen Qianshan.
When he woke up, the first thing he thought of was Gu Huai'an, but it wasn't that Shen Qianshan was implicated or injured because of saving him. Therefore, everything that happened to Shen Qianshan was caused by himself. Now he It is only natural to use this method to deal with Shen Qianshan.
Just after dawn, there was a knock on the door. The palace was always busy during the day. Not only were Shen Zhongbai's concubines who had nothing to do, but there were also a lot of palace people who didn't know what they were doing.
However, no one would knock on the door of his room so early. Although Gu Qiang was woken up, she still asked in a good temper, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Gu Huaian."
The voice outside the door was indeed Gu Huaian's. Gu Qiang no longer stayed in bed, quickly sat up, put on her coat and opened the door for Gu Huaian.
