Gu Qiang turned around and looked at Gu Su Liang behind him. This guy was always so out of tune, but he was extremely shrewd in some matters. "Okay, okay, I'll go back right away. Aren't you just afraid?" Will my staying here affect your business?"
"Then I don't dare to say that. If I dare to drive you away, I might lose my head if word spreads. But to be honest, you must take good care of your health. After your child is born, you will have to Accept me as your godfather!"
"You think it's quite beautiful!" Gu Qiang looked at Gu Su Liang who was laughing and joking behind him. When Shen Qianshan and his brother left her, the only people she could rely on besides Gu Su Liang were probably the only ones she could rely on. There is no one else.
As soon as Gu Qiang returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, he immediately felt the lonely atmosphere in the entire empty palace. Liu Yun had made the bed early, but today there was one less person in the room. Gu Qiang was sleeping I felt a little uneasy when I got up, so I had to turn off the lights early. I didn't know where Shen Qianshan, who had been marching all night, would sleep tonight.
Although he said he didn't care and didn't feel bad, in fact, Gu Qiang was still worried to death. No one could predict what would happen on the battlefield. What's more, Dongliang Kingdom was obviously well prepared this time. , Shen Qianshan is just taking the general and a few troops from the town. He is definitely not as well prepared as the other party. Maybe he will suffer a few defeats at the beginning. I only hope that Shen Qianshan can be safe. , brought his brother back with him.
Gu Qiang fell asleep frightened and woke up early the next morning. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw that her eyes were dark. Last night, she had a nightmare all night and she never slept well. , I don’t know how long it will take for such days to pass. Shen Qianshan has only left for one night, and he has become like this. If he continues like this, before Shen Qianshan comes back, maybe he will Suffered to death.
"Is the ninth princess here?"
After Gu Qiang simply combed her hair, she was about to open the door when she heard a sharp and long sound outside. No matter what time, such a sound always made Gu Qiang feel a little uncomfortable, maybe because every time she heard it When I heard this voice, it was more or less related to Shen Zhongbai. This voice was too familiar to me. It was the eunuch who Shen Zhongbai had always brought with me. Gu Qiang secretly thought that it was not good, but this The man was waiting outside the door, but he couldn't. He couldn't stay in the house for a whole day without going out, so he had no choice but to open the door.
"Eunuch, my master is still resting. Can you wait a little longer?" Liu Yun actually got to know the person at the door. In addition, he was holding the imperial edict in his hand, which made Liu Yun feel a little nervous now. He had no choice but to refuse and said that his master was still resting.
It is true that when Shen Qianshan was still in the house and not going to the battlefield, the imperial edicts from the palace had not been to the Ninth Prince's Mansion several times. Why did the imperial edicts come out one after another just after the prince left? Is it possible? , the emperor really wants to let the princess enter the palace
At this time, in fact, Gu Qiang in another world was also facing such a problem. She had just sent Shen Qianshan away, but she did not receive Shen Zhongbai's imperial edict to let her enter the palace. She was a princess, but the emperor insisted on it. There is no need to worry about letting her enter the palace. People outside have heard the joke, but now Gu Qiang has no one to rely on at all. If she disobeys the decree, it might even affect Shen Qianshan and Shen Qianshan who are far away at the border. Gu Huaian.
What should I do...
In desperation, the two finally chose to accept the imperial edict. However, the reason written in Shen Zhongbai's imperial edict was really ridiculous. The Ninth Prince was fighting on the border, and the Emperor's grace was afraid that the Ninth Princess would be alone in the palace. She had no one to take care of her, so she sent someone to take her into the palace. There was someone in the palace who was responsible for taking care of her.
Gu Qiang accepted the imperial edict and smiled helplessly. It seemed that Shen Zhongbai still refused to let him go. In this way, he would not only preserve his reputation among the people, but also be able to hold him in his hands naturally. , In this way, Shen Qianshan did not dare to liaise with foreign enemies. Similarly, when waiting for Shen Qianshan to come back, Shen Zhongbai could also use himself as an excuse to threaten Shen Qianshan and ask him to hand over his military power, and even Doing more things that he didn't have to do.
Since Shen Zhongbai had already arranged it so well, she had no reason to refuse this matter. She simply packed her luggage and entered the palace with Liu Yun.
"Master, do you really want to live in the palace according to the imperial edict?" Liu Yun still felt that this was unreliable. The prince had just left, and the princess was summoned into the palace by the emperor. This is really It's contrary to common sense. Even if this matter spreads, people in the outside world will not talk about the emperor, but their own master. In this case, even if the prince comes back safely, he will hear the news outside. After all those rumors, will he still be as emotionally close to the princess as before without any resentment
Gu Qiang had no choice but to make such a decision, but now it seems that her entry into the palace will not happen for the time being. She is just a little reluctant to encounter any emergencies. This time, entering the palace, she has to When she meets her good sister Gu Zhihua again, she can be regarded as one of the culprits that caused her mother's death. As a sister, she doesn't even resent her father, the man who killed her mother with his own hands. Even if she resents herself, she doesn't resent her. Is there any way to target yourself
When Shen Zhongbai brought himself into the palace this time, he must have expected that he would have a conflict with Gu Zhihua, so the situation this time was completely different from the last time he entered the palace. This time he was acting as the ninth princess. What does Gu Zhihua have to be dissatisfied with when he entered the palace as someone else? Can't say anything.
If this is the case, he can only reluctantly accept it, because if he doesn't do these things, Shen Zhongbai will probably treat Shen Qianshan harshly on the border. When the war on the border is tense, what if? If you are cut off from food and grass, then you can really be regarded as a beauty and a disaster...
Shen Zhongbai never expected that Gu Qiang would pack his luggage so quickly and return to the palace with the person he sent to announce the decree. He also quickly arranged a residence for him and specially chose it. Gu Zhihua lived far away, of course, that was where Gu Qiang lived in Qingxin Palace when he first entered the palace.
The two of them were far apart to prevent any conflict between them. After all, Gu Zhihua was still a pawn that he wanted to use. Gu Linjiang also held a large number of important officials in the court tightly in his hands. If he wanted to control these courtiers, he still couldn't offend Gu Linjiang for the time being.
So after so many things happened, Shen Zhongbai still chose to leave Gu Zhihua in the palace. Now Shen Zhongbai could only pretend that it had never happened. Gu Zhihua was still his concubine, and he did not say anything more. But this time, since Gu Qiang had already entered the palace, he could not, Letting go of Gu Qiang so easily again.
"Your Majesty." Gu Qiang followed Shen Zhongbai's arrangements and moved into the place she arranged for herself. It was still in the Qingxin Palace where she had lived before. To be honest, living in this place was really inconvenient because of this The place was really close to Shen Zhongbai's study. Gu Qiang could still clearly remember that Shen Zhongbai would come to this place to see him every day after going to court or finishing things.
At that time, she was really annoying him to death, but it is different now. Her identity is the Ninth Princess. Even if she is in the palace, Shen Zhongbai must pay attention to his behavior. He cannot come to his residence every day. This made Gu Qiang feel relieved a little.
As long as Shen Zhongbai doesn't appear in front of him often, he will not be involved in their palace fights again, and there will be no more trouble in the future.
"The Ninth Princess seems to be in good spirits. She is not worried about the Ninth Prince going to the battlefield as the rumors say. It seems that I may be worrying too much."
Shen Zhongbai pretended not to care and fiddled with the official documents in his hands. In fact, there were no words written on those memorials and they were simply blank.
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I think that when the Ninth Prince was fighting on the border, he would definitely appreciate the Emperor's thoughtfulness. He would definitely win the battle for the Emperor and drive all those who rebelled on the border out of Bei'an."
Gu Qiang lowered her head, and Shen Zhongbai couldn't see the contemptuous expression on her face, so he immediately concluded that Gu Qiang was really thanking him, but this time Shen Qianshan might not be able to come back.
"Since everyone has entered the palace, if you need anything, just tell the servants directly. There is no need to treat this place as another place." Although Shen Zhongbai already knew that Gu Qiang was pregnant with Shen Qian. She is a child of Shanshan, but she still can't believe that someone who liked her so much before suddenly changed her gender. Perhaps it is because the most precious thing is what you ask for and don't get. Shen Zhongbai has always believed that Gu Qiang's In fact, she has always had her own place in her heart, so even if the child she is carrying now is Shen Qianshan's, it does not prove that Gu Qiang no longer has herself in her heart.
"I understand."
The fact that Gu Qiang entered the palace again obviously aroused Gu Zhihua's concern. After all, this matter had happened before, and the last incident also proved that Shen Zhongbai's psychology had indeed always been there. Gu Qiang's position, so Gu Qiang's entry into the palace this time coincides with the time when the Ninth Prince is going out to fight, so it is even more likely that something will happen between him and the emperor. How can Gu Zhihua not be anxious
