Seeing Gu Qiang's energetic look, Shen Zhongbai thought that Gu Qiang had been in the palace for such a long time and should have adapted to the fact that she was no longer the Ninth Princess. Isn't it time to bring up the matter between the two of them? Woolen cloth? After all, the enthronement ceremony is coming soon. If Gu Qiang agrees to marry him, it is not impossible for him to make her mother the king of the world.
Gu Qiang always lowered her head, facing Shen Zhongbai, her mood was always very complicated, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince was joking, and it is reasonable for Qiang'er to salute to His Highness."
Shen Zhongbai sat on the Grand Master's chair in the main hall. The various layouts of Qingxin Palace have always been Shen Zhongbai's favorite. Gu Qiang also knew that the layout here was exactly the same as the place where she would live in the future. It was Shen Zhongbai who wanted to stabilize the Gu family. Pack it up for yourself.
"Qian'er has gradually gotten better recently, and she seems to be very energetic. Why don't we give Qian'er something after my enthronement ceremony is over in a few days?" Shen Zhongbai saw Gu Qiang's expression. His mind didn't seem to be on himself, so he quickly changed the subject to something else.
Gu Qiang was not interested in Shen Zhongbai's gift when it arrived, but according to Shen Zhongbai's words, it seemed that the enthronement ceremony was just around the corner, "Then Qiang'er would like to congratulate His Highness the Third Prince. His Highness the Third Prince has both political integrity and talent, and is both civil and military." , is naturally the best candidate to inherit the throne of Ah."
It is already certain that Shen Zhongbai will become the emperor, but we don't know how long he will be the emperor and whether he will have the chance to continue to be the emperor.
"The enthronement ceremony will be held at the beginning of next month. When I become the real emperor, I will not treat Qian'er badly."
Shen Zhongbai asked the guards around him to take out the snacks that Yu Shangfang had just made. It was already the twelfth lunar month in the middle of winter. Most of the snacks were lard cakes and the like, and they were still steaming. They looked really good, but...
Gu Qiang's symptoms of morning sickness were slightly better before. How could she smell such a smell now? He couldn't control himself at all, and he didn't care about the expectant look on Shen Zhongbai's face in front of him. He wanted to praise himself for his good intentions, so he pushed away Liu Shuang beside him, lowered his head and kept retching.
Liu Shuang received a lot of favors from Gu Qiang. Not to mention Shen Zhongbai's character, Liu Shuang knew best. Even if he was so rude in front of others, it really affected their reputation. Liu Shuang patted Feixue's face. With his arm, he blocked Gu Qiang as soon as he turned around and stood in front of Shen Zhongbai.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Princess was not feeling well a few days ago. I'm afraid she hasn't fully recovered yet. That's why she is like this. I don't mean to be disrespectful to His Highness the Third Prince. I also ask His Highness the Third Prince to forgive me." Liu Shuang stepped forward. He explained, but Shen Zhongbai rolled his eyes.
Shen Zhongbai didn't know for a short time what was there about Gu Qiang that could attract others. She would always make people follow her wholeheartedly. Others didn't care. Liushuang was a guard who had been with him since he was a child. Why did he start to be obsessed with her now? Gu Qiang started talking
Shen Zhongbai didn't mean to blame Gu Qiang, but he didn't expect that Liu Shuang would come out to explain to Gu Qiang so quickly, and he was inevitably a little disappointed. But after all, the cause of this incident was still because of himself, and he couldn't say much. He could only wave his hand, "No problem, Liu Shuang, please call the imperial doctor over quickly. Don't let the princess' body be damaged."
When Gu Qiang heard that Shen Zhongbai wanted Liu Shuang to ask the imperial doctor, she was so frightened that she had no time to think, "No, no, no!"
Liu Shuang just breathed a sigh of relief and thanked His Highness the Third Prince for not wanting to punish the princess. However, she did not expect that when she was about to leave to ask for the imperial doctor, she was stopped by the princess.
Shen Zhongbai obviously felt puzzled, "Is it because you are strong and not feeling well? Why can't I ask Liu Shuang to ask the imperial doctor?" She could barely tolerate Gu Qiang losing her composure in front of her, but now, she has already said that she doesn't care. Come on, why is Gu Qiang still ungrateful
Gu Qiang Huihui signaled Feixue to cover the pastry box in front of her. Then she resisted the turmoil in her stomach, stood up and walked to Shen Zhongbai, "Your Highness, Third Prince, Qian'er is just slightly unwell, so there is no need to trouble the palace." If Qian'er's body knows what's wrong with him, he will definitely send Liu Shuang to report to His Highness." Gu Qiang didn't think of any specific excuse for a while, but if he really invited the imperial doctor, He would definitely be unable to hide his pregnancy. If that were the case, wouldn't he be in crisis again
Shen Zhongbai looked at Gu Qiang in front of him hesitantly. He could naturally tell that Gu Qiang seemed to have something that he didn't want to tell him. Since she didn't tell him, he simply didn't ask. Anyway, sooner or later, Gu Qiang would They will all be their own people, "In this case, if the strong and the weak are not feeling well, don't forget to ask Liu Shuang to tell me."
Gu Qiang nodded and agreed.
"Then I won't disturb Qian'er and have a good rest. Since these cakes are not to Qian'er's appetite, I will send someone to send them away. When there are any new cakes in the imperial kitchen next time, I will send someone to Qian'er. Send it here." Shen Zhongbai's eyes and mouth were smiling, but Gu Qiang could feel that Shen Zhongbai must be very dissatisfied with his actions today. As for what will happen in the future...
Liu Shuang followed Shen Zhongbai and escorted him out of Qingxin Palace. As soon as he left the palace gate, Liu Shuang was about to turn around and go back, but was suddenly stopped by Shen Zhongbai.
"Liu Shuang, you have been following me for ten years, right?"
Shen Zhongbai's tone was calm, and he couldn't hear the unhappiness in his tone, but it suddenly made Liu Shuang's heart twitch.
Liu Shuang turned around and faced Shen Zhongbai, "Back to Your Highness, it's true that Liu Shuang started following His Highness when he was seven years old, and now it's exactly ten years." Ten years said Long or short, in the past ten years, Liu Shuang had done countless murders, arson, and unjust things for Shen Zhongbai, but he had always been conscientious and never thought that Shen Zhongbai was not good at all.
But that day, when Shen Zhongbai was about to punish Liu Xingyu, he received an order from Shen Zhongbai and must take Gu Qiang with him. However, he did not expect that after accepting the matter calmly, Gu Qiang deliberately wanted to let her go. You and Feixue should not go there...
Although he had to follow Gu Qiang in the end because of Shen Zhongbai's order, Gu Qiang's words about not wanting them to have nightmares really touched Liu Shuang for a long time.
He has killed countless people, and no one has ever worried about whether the souls of the dead who died tragically under his own hands will ask for their lives in the middle of the night. Only Gu Qiang still remained sincere to him after knowing that he was Shen Zhongbai's bodyguard. , although he was always on guard, he never thought of harming himself.
"You have been with me for ten years, and now you have learned to turn your elbows outward, right?" Shen Zhongbai's face suddenly changed, and he curled his lips coldly, "I didn't know that someone taught you this?"
"I don't dare. I'm just telling the truth. The princess's appetite has improved a little since she came in. She still can't eat greasy food for the time being." Liu Shuang lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Shen Zhongbai's eyes.
"Liu Shuang, you have to remember who is your master."
Liu Shuang looked at Shen Zhongbai's retreating figure. Shen Zhongbai always looked aloof, so after Gu Qiang's words, Liu Shuang suddenly began to waver. This was not a good sign.
When Liu Shuang returned to the main hall, Gu Qiang had returned to normal. She was holding sour plums in her hand and stuffing them into her mouth one by one. She said that Feixue said, eat something sour when you are out of range. It will feel slightly better.
However, after eating sour plums, Gu Qiang's forehead and complexion were indeed much better than when Shen Zhongbai was in the room. It should be like what she said, the princess just had a poor appetite, so she Thinking of this, Liu Shuang seemed to feel better about losing his composure in front of the third prince. After all, if this was the case, he would not be excusing the princess, nor would he be betraying His Highness the third prince.
Ye Shi had racked his brains for the last letter from Gu Zhihua, plus he hit a snag somewhere with Gu Linjiang, so it had been three days and he had not thought of a good idea that could help Gu Zhihua , to get rid of Gu Qiang's threat to her, Gu Linjiang was preparing how to prevent Shen Zhongbai from treating him as the leader. He was also racking his brains, and had no choice but to ask Ye's brother for help.
Ye's good at using medicine is hereditary. All the direct children of the Ye family are good at using medicine. That's why Gu Linjiang thought of asking Ye's brother to help. He was also shocked when he saw his brother at the Gu family, but Unexpectedly, what was even more shocking was the news revealed by my brother.
Gu Linjiang's original intention was not to come to Ye's brother, but Ye's brother already had a certain hereditary title in the court. What he said was different from the Liu family. All the honors and titles of the Ye family were based on It was obtained through the efforts of the previous generations. Therefore, it is also a group that speaks in the court, and it has more status.
Although Ye himself is not a direct descendant, since he is the only daughter in the family, she has never experienced the life of competing with other sisters for favors since she was a child. She is also very proficient in medical skills, but it has never been spread to others and has never been known to others. Know.
"Brother, do you mean that the master wants you to help him find some medicine that can pretend to be sick and avoid this for a while?"
Ye's eyes seemed to light up after hearing what her brother said. If this is really the case...
