Ever since he met the queen who died tragically with Shen Qiangwei, Gu Qiang felt more or less sympathetic to Shen Qiangwei. After all, in comparison, she could still have such a chance to start over, but Shen Qiangwei It’s completely different…
Shen Qiangwei has always been deeply and deeply hostile to herself, but it is normal. For someone like Shen Qiangwei to be able to move step by step in the palace, it is nothing more than being treated as a chess piece in Shen Zhongbai's hands. He is a blackmailer just like himself. Just a poor, uninformed person who was taken advantage of.
"I am so happy to be able to escape the intrigues in the palace. Did Concubine Shen come to Qingxin Palace on purpose to congratulate me?" Gu Qiang didn't want to have too much entanglement with Shen Qiangwei. Although this woman had nothing to do with herself. They are all in the same boat, they are both women being taken advantage of, but they are different from Shen Qiangwei. Before Shen Qiangwei killed her child, she had never wanted to frame anyone else.
But Shen Qiangwei was different. Shen Qiangwei's hands were already stained with the blood of many people before she entered the palace or stayed by Shen Zhongbai's side.
"Of course I want to congratulate you, but it's not entirely true. If the third prince is still the one who finally sits on the throne, then your life, Miss Gu, may not be very good. Don't forget that the Ninth Prince is Among all the royal bloodline, he is the only one who can compete with the third prince."
Shen Qiangwei's tone was frivolous. It seemed that she was disdainful of Gu Qiang in front of her, but it was true. How could an ordinary woman have such courage to watch Liu Xingyu being combed and tortured without even blinking her skirt? You can have the heart to make yourself uncomfortable...
"Now I don't have to worry about Concubine Shen. She has been in the palace for a long time. Doesn't she know what kind of person His Highness the Third Prince is? Even if Concubine Shen doesn't know, doesn't she understand? Is it the truth to love less?" Gu Qiang was too lazy to act in front of Shen Qiangwei. In her impression, Shen Qiangwei was a very self-centered person. Although he was smarter than Gu Zhihua, he died in front of her. Go ahead with your own intelligence.
Shen Qiangwei reached out and rummaged through Gu Qiang's luggage, "Of course I know that the Third Prince is ruthless and will not let anyone who can threaten his identity exist. Therefore, she only loves herself and not others in her heart. Her life depends on him." In his eyes, he is nothing more than a piece of grass, not even as good as the horses he keeps in the paddock."
"Since you know everything, why don't you still follow him so wholeheartedly?" Gu Qiang knew that there was no servant around him now, so he became more courageous. He really wanted to know, if Shen Qiangwei was like him, he would have been there long ago. Knowing the final outcome, if there was a chance to change everything, would she be willing to change it
"Even if I know that in the end I will be nothing more than a chess piece in the hands of the Third Prince that can help him eradicate his dissidents, I will still not regret my previous choices. Sometimes, some things are not as simple as you think. If you After being in a brothel for so long, you definitely don’t want to stay there anymore. Someone can save you from the fire and water, even if he just wants to use you, so what?”
When Shen Qiangwei spoke, the viciousness in her eyes could not be hidden at all. It was only at this time that Gu Qiang realized that he and Shen Qiangwei were different from the beginning.
The fear in Gu Qiang's heart could not be hidden at all. Even she had not thought that Shen Qiangwei was actually in a completely different situation from her own. If she was the one who was used in the situation of material affection, Shen Qiangwei was very Maybe she saw the whole thing very clearly from the beginning, and didn't even care that she would die because of Shen Zhongbai in the end. She saw it so clearly that it was scary.
Gu Qiang felt as if she had fallen into an abyss. All the hard work she had done was just to avoid ending up marrying Shen Zhongbai. She was ruthlessly used by Shen Zhongbai and died tragically in his hands. Wan Jian It was a heart-piercing feeling, but now, after Shen Qiangwei said this, what she had done seemed to have suddenly lost its meaning.
"You are the only one who still doesn't understand. You think that by marrying the Ninth Prince, you have escaped your fate. In fact, you have not. You still have to live in an environment of intrigue, and your life still cannot be peaceful."
Shen Qiangwei looked at Gu Qiang in front of her and seemed very satisfied with Gu Qiang's current stimulated state. She adjusted her sleeves and walked out of the gate of Qingxin Palace.
Shen Qiangwei didn't know what kind of end she would end up with. On the first day he joined the third prince's house, she knew that the third prince just wanted to use her. Nothing could humiliate these people like a brothel girl. As a daughter of a wealthy family, he only needs to do what the third prince wants. What she wants to do is actually not important at all.
Shen Qiangwei just resented the woman in front of him. In such a complicated environment, he was able to escape unscathed, but he could no longer escape.
In the morning, Mr. Ye had just said that he wanted Gu Qiang to return to the Gu family. Shen Zhongbai had just agreed and entered the palace without stopping. Because of Gu Linjiang's annexation, Shen Zhongbai did not deny Ye's entry. The palace came to visit Gu Zhihua. Gu Zhihua also received the news early that Gu Qiang was going to meet the Gu family, and he was even more overjoyed.
Gu Zhihua held the tea with a smile on his face and walked up to Mr. Ye, "Mother used this trick really wonderfully. It's also thanks to Dad's illness that he got sick in time. If Dad hadn't gotten sick this time, If you are sick, I am afraid that His Highness the Third Prince will not let that little bitch Gu Qiang leave so easily."
Ever since Ye entered the palace early this morning, Gu Zhihua had learned about Gu Linjiang's serious illness, but he didn't expect that things would develop so smoothly, and that his father would actually use this reason to ask Gu Qiang to take care of his family. He really didn't expect that, Dad will be so helpful to me this time.
"This is not a clever plan, but your father is really sick. Although it is not serious, it can still be a good opportunity to bring Gu Qiang home, so I asked your uncle to report it to the third prince, hoping that the Gu family Gu Qiang, the unmarried eldest daughter, can return to the Gu family to take care of your father." Mrs. Ye naturally looked proud. Such a good idea is indeed something that not everyone can come up with.
After hearing this, Gu Zhihua's face became a little worried, "But if dad is really sick and Gu Qiang takes care of him, what if he treats Gu Qiang even better after he recovers?" what to do?"
After all, Gu Linjiang is still the prime minister of the current dynasty. If he turns to Gu Qiang in the future, wouldn't he be missing a helper
Seeing Gu Zhihua's worried expression, he relaxed his brows and said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal at all. Your father's illness is naturally not real. It's because I used medicine to temporarily make him weak, so he has to be dragged on." After a while, after the third prince ascended the throne and Zhihua firmly took the position of the imperial concubine, we can slowly adjust this matter."
Gu Zhihua never thought that his mother would use this method to control his father, but now it seems that there is no better way to take Gu Qianjin away from the palace quickly. It seems that now, it is the best Anyway, my mother is proficient in medicine and stone. Nothing will happen to her father. Quan should be a father and help his daughter. Besides, Gu Qiang doesn’t like the third prince at all. Doing so is good for everyone.
Gu Zhihua lowered his head and remained silent. He was not too old. Although he often used some tricks because he liked and wanted to marry Shen Zhongbai, he still worried about his father in his heart. After all, he was also his relative. .
"Zhi Hua, do you know that those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters? If you soften your mind on this matter, I'm afraid your previous efforts will be wasted. Aren't you afraid?" Ye stopped the tea cup in his hand hard and smashed it. On the table, there was a muffled sound, "By the way, Zhihua, has His Highness the Third Prince come to your palace recently?"
Hearing Ye's words, Gu Zhihua lowered his head subconsciously, "This... The third prince has been very busy recently, maybe he just doesn't have much time recently..."
As soon as Mrs. Ye heard her daughter speak hesitantly, she naturally knew that the third prince must not come to her place recently, but she heard that Shen Zhongbai has been running to Qingxin Palace to see Gu Qiang every day recently. , who has been in Shen Qiangwei's palace every day, really doesn't look like a busy person. Could it be said that Shen Zhongbai has completely lost interest in Zhihua
"Zhihua, listen to what my mother said. The third prince will definitely become the emperor. If you haven't become the queen or the concubine yet, you are no longer as favored as before. This is not a good sign. ." He also looked worried, after all, this is not a trivial matter.
When Gu Zhihua heard this, he obviously lost his patience, "It's not all the fault of that little bitch Gu Qiang. It's all because of him. His Highness the Third Prince hasn't been to my place for a long time. I can only hope that Gu Qiang will leave the palace." After that, the third prince can think of me..." After Gu Zhihua entered the palace, he realized that among the original concubines, the only one worth showing off was his own family. However, Now Shen Zhongbai's status is not as good as before. The women around Shen Zhongbai now are completely different from the ones he has interacted with before. He is not as fond of Shen Zhongbai as Gu Qiang, and not as seductive as Shen Qiangwei. How can he still be here? How to maintain one's position in the harem
With Gu Qiang gone, she can only guarantee that she will not be replaced by Gu Qiang, but there is no guarantee that she will continue to have a place in the harem.
