Gu Qiang's stomach was churning. She had vomited many times, but she still hadn't recovered. Liu Shuang and Feixue had been waiting on the side for a long time, but Gu Qiang didn't feel any better at all. She was feeling groggy. , it seems that he has not regained his conscious consciousness. He has been in a half-dream and half-awake state and never woke up.
Shen Zhongbai has been here a few times, but Gu Qiang has always been in a daze. He can't see what's wrong, can he? In such a situation, who can guarantee that he is awake and not affected at all
Because he was frightened, Shen Zhongbai did not ask the imperial doctor to check Gu Qiang's pulse. Gu Qiang was sometimes awake and sometimes confused. He lay in bed for three days before his condition improved and he lost a lot of weight. However, Shen Zhongbai felt that his actions seemed to be excessive.
But if he doesn't do this, the concubines in his house will definitely still be ready to take action. Everyone has to do it for themselves. Shen Zhongbai does this because he doesn't want anyone around him to betray him again, so as to nip it in the bud. The women around me have become much more honest after experiencing this incident. Most of them hide in their rooms and don't go out, acting honestly.
Gu Qiang was different. She felt more and more that Shen Zhongbai was really terrible. Since the founding of the country, no emperor had ever used the punishment of grooming. But before he ascended the throne, he had already used this method to scare the monkeys. Is it still possible? Not scary enough? What would happen if he became the emperor
"Is Princess Changning feeling better?" Shen Zhongbai picked up the teacup in front of him and asked Liu Shuang in front of him.
"After the past few days of treatment, the princess's body is no longer serious. It's just that the princess doesn't seem to be so awake now. She has been groggy all day long and doesn't look very good." Liu. It took several days for Shuang to slowly regain her composure. She really didn't understand the third prince's actions, but in front of her master, she could only objectively report to Shen Zhongbai.
Gu Qiang has been really uncomfortable recently. She was so frightened by the situation on the execution ground that day. She wonders if it is because she has been too nervous recently. Her menstrual period has been delayed, her waist is hurting, and she is in a bad mood. I was very sick, I had no appetite, I didn't want to see anyone, and I was bored in the house all day.
"Qian'er's chess skills seem to have declined." Shen Zhongbai twisted the black chess piece in his hand without looking at Gu Qiang, but it was enough to bring Gu Qiang back to his senses.
"Ah?" Gu Qiang was indeed going to die and couldn't calm down to play chess. When she was a child, she played chess with Shen Zhongbai. Thinking about it now, it has been seven or eight years since she played chess with Shen Zhongbai.
Shen Zhongbai was not what he imagined when he knew it. At that time, Shen Zhongbai, as the third prince, was the best among all the princes. It was because he saw him riding a horse and shooting arrows on the hunting ground. Gu Qiang fell in love with him at first sight.
I just didn't expect that as the age increases, the competition among the princes becomes more and more fierce. Even Shen Zhongbai and the seemingly innocent and harmless Shen Zhongyan are the same. They must do their best to survive in the cruel battle for the heir. They survived, but in the process, they all changed.
Shen Zhongbai became more and more cold-blooded, and his methods became more and more cruel. If it were in the past, Gu Qiang would not have been able to connect the murderous man on the execution ground with the man in front of him who was playing chess with him with a flag. Together, but now, even if Shen Zhongbai is wearing a moon-white robe, there is no way to erase the fact that he was once the person who killed Liu Xingyu with such cruel means.
The Liu family was completely ruined, and everyone was executed, even the child in his arms was no exception. Gu Qiang sat next to Shen Zhongbai, watching Shen Zhongbai listen very calmly to his men coming to report these things, and she felt even more difficult in her heart. Calm, perhaps because I have never seen clearly, Shen Zhongbai has always been such a person.
"It's nothing. Your Highness is a master of chess, and Qian'er is willing to fall behind."
Shen Zhongbai also saw that Gu Qiang was not thinking about playing chess at all right now. He also knew that what happened that day was really hard for Gu Qiang to accept, so he wanted to come over and play chess with him. I wanted to make him feel a little more relaxed, but I didn't expect that Gu Qiang would care so much about these things.
Shen Zhongbai is the one who is going to be the emperor soon. He must be ruthless when sitting in a high position. No matter who he is, he must use some means to sit in that position. He just did what every emperor would do. Things, they must have done such things before sitting on the throne of emperor.
Not to mention himself, even Shen Qianshan probably has a lot of people's blood on his hands.
"Since Qian'er is not in the mood to play chess, I will leave first. Qian'er has a good rest. In a few days, I will take you out of the palace to let you relax."
Shen Zhongbai doesn't know what's the point of staying by Gu Qiang's side now, but he doesn't want Gu Qiang to leave, nor does he want to watch Gu Qiang and Shen Qianshan live lovingly in front of him. The only way is to Gu Qiang stayed by her side.
"Farewell to His Highness the Third Prince."
Gu Zhihua's plan failed that day and he was so angry that he threw everything in his palace to pieces, but he didn't dare to make too much noise for fear that Shen Zhongbai would doubt him, so even if he was angry, he could only She endured it. She thought that even if Shen Zhongbai would send people to find Gu Qiang if he was thrown into such a desolate courtyard, by the time they found him, Gu Qiang would have died there due to lack of physical strength, lack of water and food. .
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and found the Ninth Prince who was under house arrest. It was also inexplicable. There were obviously so many palace gates, but after Shen Qianshan left his palace, he went straight there. When he reached that place, it was as if something was guiding him in the direction.
The more Gu Zhihua thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. How could Gu Qiang have so many people helping him? His plan was obviously flawless, but Shen Qianshan found a loophole. He found Gu Qiang's whereabouts so easily. Originally, the palace was still investigating this matter, which made Gu Zhihua uneasy. He locked himself in his room every day and did not go out, for fear that there would be some clues to find out about him.
But I didn't expect that Concubine Yu would save her once invisibly.
Once Concubine Yu's adultery was revealed, who would still remember that Princess Changning was abducted a few days ago? Even the third prince had no intention of investigating the last incident, but he still felt frightened when he thought about it. The death of Concubine Yu was probably the most tragic she had ever seen.
Even after looking at it myself, she hadn’t had anything to eat for several days, but it was okay. This stupid woman had done so many things and almost ruined her own plan. She did one good deed before she died. Although He destroyed her and the entire Liu family, but saved himself from being investigated, and he didn't have to live in fear all day long.
"Concubine, this is something sent by the third prince. It is said to be hung at the entrance of the palace." The little palace maid next to Gu Zhihua came in dragging a plate and stood in front of Gu Zhihua.
Gu Zhihua's original thoughts were all disrupted by him, and he angrily started shouting at the little palace maid in front of him, "Isn't there any sound? Didn't you announce before coming in? You scared me!"
Since it is something to be hung at the entrance of the palace, it must be some kind of spice, or something to ward off evil spirits, right? Although the third prince said that the method of killing was a bit too cruel, after all, people fear ghosts and gods. The third prince was probably also afraid that the soul of Concubine Yu would come back to find him and disturb his sleep, so he hung up all the palace doors. Get on this thing.
"Bring it here and show it to me." Gu Zhihua stretched out his hand. He could only see a red cloth bag from a distance. He didn't know what was in it. This made Gu Zhihua feel very strange. curious.
Didn't the palace maid hesitate for a moment? , seeing Gu Zhihua's fierce eyes, he slowly walked closer and said, "Concubine..."
Gu Zhihua put the red cloth bag in her hand, but suddenly there was a sticky and slippery feeling in her palm, which reminded her of Liu Xingyu a few days ago, and she was so scared that he quickly threw the things in his hand away.
"What exactly is this? Is it really something sent by His Highness the Third Prince?"
"Yes, I can see clearly that His Highness the Third Prince sent someone to deliver it. As for what exactly is inside? I don't know."
The little palace maid looked at Gu Zhihua's horrified expression. Although she didn't touch the bag with her own hands, she could probably guess what was in the bag. His Highness the Third Prince was really terrifying. He could actually...
Gu Qiang couldn't sleep or eat well all day long, and he was losing weight day by day. However, in this palace, there was no one who really cared about him, and Gu Qiang felt even more depressed.
"Dong dong dong"
Except for Shen Zhongbai, Gu Qiang rarely sees anyone here. If Shen Zhongbai comes, the person at the door will definitely notify him. Who is knocking on the door of his room at this time
Gu Qiang was not too lazy, so she got out of bed and opened the door. The person standing outside the door turned out to be Gu Huaian.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Although Shen Zhongbai did not explicitly prohibit Gu Huaian from entering the palace to see Gu Qiang, Gu Huaian had to undergo a rigorous search every time he entered and left the palace, which made Gu Qiang feel that her brother was very helpless.
"Why are you so thin?" Gu Huaian frowned when he saw Gu Qiang. Did Qiang'er suffer any injustice in the palace
