In the past few days, he could only sleep when he was drunk. In his dreams, the bed curtains hanging on the beams would always appear. Such terrible dreams would always wake him up. He was afraid that something like this would happen again. Now, Qian'er finally came back, but what if he went back to rest for a while, and when he woke up, Gu Qiang was gone again
Shen Qianshan returned to his room worriedly. Because there was no bed, he could only make do with the soft couch in the study room for one night. Only after the craftsmen Qi Bai hired tomorrow had made the bed again, he would Have a place to rest.
Gu Qiang extinguished the lamp beside her bed, turned her head and lay on the bed, closing her eyes to rest. It was so early that she actually couldn't sleep, but after experiencing so many things these days, she suddenly felt that the only time now was In this way, I can completely relax and my mood slowly calms down.
But looking at Shen Qianshan, it was not that easy. Shen Qianshan finally forced himself to fall asleep, but in his dream, the scene of Gu Qiang leaving appeared again, and he suddenly woke up. , where could he still sleep, he pushed open the door of the study and walked to the backyard. In the room where Gu Qiang was, the room was completely dark. He couldn't see whether the people in the room were still here. He thought When he went to push the door, he found that the door had been locked from the inside. Shen Qianshan was relieved. Since the people inside still knew how to lock the door, it meant they must still be in the room. Shen Qianshan was right. When he was about to leave and go back to the study to continue sleeping, he suddenly seemed to remember something again. He walked to the window door of the room where Gu Qiang lived and pushed it gently.
Because she was living in the palace, Gu Qiang didn't care about safety so much, so she didn't close the window. With Shen Qianshan's gentle push, the window immediately opened, and in the moonlight, Shen Qianshan Seeing Gu Qiang lying quietly on the bed, she felt completely relieved.
But after he returned to the study, after thinking about it, he was still afraid that Gu Qiang would get up in the middle of the night and leave suddenly. He simply went back to the study, took a blanket, leaned against Gu Qiang's door, and slept all night.
Early the next morning, Gu Qiang was actually woken up by Liu Yun's voice.
"My lord, why are you sleeping here? It's snowing outside!"
Liuyun, I remember that I clearly saw the prince returning to the study yesterday, but why did he appear at the princess's door again this morning? There was a light snowfall last night, and there was a thin layer on the ground, but only the prince's There is no snow around, which means that the prince really sat at the princess's door all night. No matter how good the prince's physique is, he may not be able to bear such a cold weather.
Gu Qiang heard Liu Yun talking like this and quickly opened the door. Unexpectedly, Shen Qianshan was actually sitting at the door obediently, with only a thin blanket covering him. Apart from Liu Yun's Apart from the footprints, there were no other people's footprints, which meant that Shen Qianshan really stayed at his door all night.
"Are you crazy? It's snowing outside, don't you know how to go back to the room?"
No matter how good Shen Qianshan's constitution was, he was a little numb after being frozen all night. He used his energy to fight off the cold, but he couldn't hold on for long because his legs were already numb from the cold after sitting at the door all night. Now, when I heard Gu Qiang talking to me, I could still laugh, "Qiang'er, are you caring about me now?"
Seeing that the person sitting on the ground could still laugh, Gu Qiang's expression immediately changed from concern to anger, "You want to ruin your body with a cruel trick, and then make me soften and forgive you, right?"
"No, no!" Shen Qianshan quickly explained. In fact, he was simply afraid that Gu Qiang would suddenly leave him in the middle of the night. He sat guarding the door and slept very lightly. He had to confirm that Gu Qiang Qiang was always in the room, so he felt at ease.
Gu Qiang was really helpless and had no choice. She had to promise Shen Qianshan that she would never leave easily. When she heard that Gu Qiang agreed to this matter, Shen Qianshan felt relieved and supported the ground with his hands. I wanted to stand up, but found that my legs were already numb from the cold and I couldn't feel anything at all.
Shen Qianshan stretched out his hand to Gu Qiang coquettishly, but received a blank look from her: "Liu Yun, help the prince go back to his room to rest."
It is absolutely impossible to say that he does not feel distressed at all, but Gu Qiang will never forgive Shen Qianshan so quickly just because of such a little trick.
Liu Yun and Qi Bai finally helped Shen Qianshan back to the room. Qi Bai originally wanted to report something to the princess, but happened to see the prince in this state, so he helped her.
Qi Bai turned around and walked to Gu Qiang's door, "Princess, the Fourth Miss has been locked up in the woodshed all night, crying and making trouble, and the people around her can hardly stand it anymore. Do you think we should solve this matter as soon as possible?" matter?"
In fact, Qi Bai was the one who couldn't stand it the most, because the place where he lived was really close to the firewood shed. Gu Zhiyao had been making trouble all night, so that he didn't have a good sleep the whole night. When the two big dark circles appeared, he almost wanted to kill Gu Zhiyao.
"She still has the energy to make a fuss, which means she hasn't reflected on her mistakes. If that's the case, then she'll be hungry for two more days!"
If Gu Zhiyao wants to seduce her man when she is not around, she must bear the consequences of this matter. She has bullied her since she was a child, and now she dares to do such a thing around her. It seems that she was too kind before. , this kind of person should have taught her a lesson long ago.
Ye's thing is to give herself a warning. She can no longer be a little soft-hearted towards these people who have harmed her. If she is soft-hearted towards them again, they don't know what day they will come up with something again. What new evil moth has come up to frame me.
After Mr. Shen returned to the room, it took a long time before he slowly regained his composure. It was indeed too cold last night. He did not expect that when he sat in Gu Qiang's room until midnight, he started to drift. There were snowflakes, but he was really uneasy. He was afraid that Gu Qiang would leave in the middle of the night, so he had to do exercises at the door to ward off the cold. It was not until the morning that Gu Qiang walked out of the door and gave him such a promise that he returned to the study with peace of mind. inside.
He actually felt terribly sorry for Gu Qiang like this. When faced with the same thing, the first thing Gu Qiang thought of was to believe in himself and deal with Gu Zhiyao first, but he directly hit the person. And said nasty things to her.
Shen Qianshan really felt damned.
This matter will not be solved so easily. Since the matter has already become such a big deal, if Gu Linjiang refuses to give them an explanation, he will have no choice but to make this matter even bigger.
Since this matter has already involved Gu Zhihua in the palace of Prime Minister Gu and the palace, he will not just cover it up so simply. He cannot be the only one who has a headache about this matter. He mentioned it in the court. This incident gave Shen Zhongbai, the new king, a headache.
Early the next morning, Shen Qianshan went to the morning court. Because of his special status, he would not go to the morning court if there was no special matter. So today, when he appeared in the court, all the ministers There was a lot of discussion about his appearance. Every time the Ninth Prince appeared, something big would happen. Therefore, many courtiers secretly muttered in their hearts whether they had done anything wrong recently and were caught by the Ninth Prince. Everyone Everyone was trembling with fear until Shen Zhongbai stepped onto the dragon throne.
"Oh? It's been a long time since the emperor's uncle went to the morning court. I wonder if I have anything to report today?" Shen Zhongbai naturally couldn't have known that the matter between Gu Qiang and Shen Qianshan had been resolved, although there were some worries. He was reluctant, but after all, Gu Qiang had returned to the Nine Princes' Mansion safely, so he had nothing else to say.
Shen Qianshan lowered his head and bowed, "Your Majesty, the disappearance of my princess, which has been a hot topic in Kyoto recently, has been dealt with in the past few days, but the scope of this matter is really large. It is too broad, not only involving the side wife in Prime Minister Gu's house, but also involving the emperor's concubine Gu Zhihua, so now, it is just that Prime Minister Gu thinks this matter is a family matter in their family, and I cannot let the king interfere. , so I want the emperor to give an oral instruction to ask your concubine Gu Zhihua to return to the Gu family. Since it is a matter of your own family, let it be settled at home. We are already a family, so this matter still It’s better to let us solve it ourselves.”
"Oh? Really? Have the Ninth Princess been found? Since the emperor's uncle has spoken, it is naturally impossible for me to refuse such a request. If this is the case, then I will immediately send someone to send Prime Minister Gu's second daughter back, and wait. After you resolve this matter, just take it back."
Shen Zhongbai didn't understand what Shen Qianshan wanted to do now, but he was curious, why did he have to let Gu Zhihua return to the Gu family
"There is one more thing. I want to ask the Emperor to make a promise. This matter involves a wide range of things. If there is no reasonable explanation for this matter, can the Emperor give us an explanation?"
"Uncle Huang just said that this matter is the Gu family's own business, so how can I give you an explanation for this?"
"No, no, no, your Majesty has misunderstood what I meant. What I mean is that since the second lady of the Gu family is already your concubine, you should no longer interfere with matters outside the palace. If something like this happens again next time When this happens, is it because the emperor failed to manage his concubines in the harem well?"
