After Shen Zhongbai knew that Gu Suran had entered the palace, he quickly sent someone to call Gu Suran and Shen Siyin to his study. He specially set up a table of food and wanted to have a meal with them. Gusu Ran There was no other reason to refuse, so he could only go with Shen Siyin.
"Gusu Ran, a common man, comes to see the Emperor."
Gu Qiang knelt down reluctantly. To be honest, Shen Zhongbai had such a fake smile on his face that he really couldn't stand it. He obviously knew that every time Shen Zhongbai deliberately tried to please others, he always had a problem. It was her own purpose, but Gu Suran was under the roof after all. Before the power in her hands had fully developed, she had no way to compete with Shen Zhongbai.
"We are already a family, so don't be so polite. You are the same. Your marriage to Si Yin has been decided. How come you are still one of the emperor's common people? Shouldn't you be called emperor brother?" I don't know. Why, Shen Zhongbai always felt that although Gu Suran had agreed to the marriage, he was still polite and kept a certain distance from him, which was really unacceptable to him. But fortunately, he was a smart man. Gu Linjiang's several deliberate approaches were all easily resolved by Gu Suran. Although he was now his sister-in-law, she still had to be cautious about him where she should be on guard against him.
"Although the common people are married to the emperor's sister, they are still ordinary people and do not dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor."
Gu Suran didn't want to put himself in line so quickly. After all, it would be bad if the old guy Gu Linjiang targeted the gadget so early.
Aside from other things, the last time at Yuhualou, Old Man Gu was able to get along with him in such a eccentric way to attract his attention, which is enough to prove that Old Man Gu has begun to notice him. Once there are many people around him, he will notice him. As you move, your actions will become increasingly inconvenient.
"Since you and Si Yin have already engaged in marriage, then you are my sister-in-law. Why are you still a commoner?" During the recent period, Shen Zhongbai has sent people to watch the activities around Lingyin Pavilion. Gusu Liangye They were all aware of it, and they had dealt with the people they sent there several times. It was impossible for Gu Suran not to know at all. It seemed that the two of them still kept a certain distance between themselves and themselves.
"The common people do not dare to overstep the mark in the slightest. I hope the emperor can understand the feelings of the common people. It is already very lucky for a common people to get married to the royal family. They should abide by the rules to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the emperor. ." Shen Zhongbai actually hated Gu Suran talking like this. No matter what he considered, it seemed that he was thinking about himself, but in fact, he was deliberately alienating the distance between them.
Shen Zhongbai never felt that the small Gusu Ran could shake his fundamental ability in the court, but the power of the Gusu family should not be underestimated. If it fell into the hands of others, he would definitely be unwilling to do so, and he would be afraid of Gusu. However, now I still want to wait and see, see which side is relatively stronger, and then choose which side I want to join.
"Well, if it's your wish, it doesn't matter to me. By the way, Si Yin just said that you two just went to see Concubine Shen?"
"Yes, Brother Huang, you don't know, and Sister Shen doesn't know what's going on. It always makes me think that her temperament has changed drastically. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed what you said. I originally wanted to give Anshen Incense to her today, but she broke it all." Although there was no malice in Shen Siyin's words, after experiencing something like that, she would inevitably complain a little. She is still a princess after all, and being treated like this I feel really unhappy when I treat someone with good intentions like a donkey liver and lungs.
"If you put it like that, I don't even know what her condition is. Brother Huang has not set foot in Tingyu Tower for a long time. He sent countless imperial doctors to check on her condition, but no clear result was obtained. If it happens again, If this continues, I'm afraid she will be imprisoned in the cold palace together with that crazy woman Gu Zhihua." Shen Zhongbai expressed his thoughts as if no one else was listening. After all, this is a matter of the harem and has absolutely nothing to do with Gu Suran. , not to mention looking at the current situation, Shen Qiangwei must be crazy. She was locked up in the cold palace for the safety of other concubines in the harem.
Gu Qiang's eyebrows beat twice. Shen Qiangwei was a little shaken by what he said just now. She couldn't just let go of such a good opportunity. If Shen Zhongbai imprisoned Shen Qiangwei in the cold palace, all the efforts she had just made would be All in vain.
"Your Majesty, when Cao Min went to see Concubine Shen, she looked normal and didn't look crazy at all. I'm afraid there was some misunderstanding. If Concubine Shen was wrongly accused for no reason, wouldn't it be an unjust and false case? , please ask the emperor to think about it again."
Shen Zhongbai didn't expect that Gu Suran would speak up for Shen Qiangwei, and Shen Siyin didn't expect that his casual complaint would lead to the emperor's brother preparing to lock Sister Shen into the cold palace. Knowing that he said the wrong thing, he hurriedly responded to his aunt. Su Ran said, "Yes, yes, brother Huang, you see, things haven't been clarified yet. If someone tampered with it, wouldn't it mean that Sister Shen was wrongly accused for no reason?"
Shen Zhongbai looked at the two people in front of him. Although his thoughts were pushed back by the two people opposite him, seeing these two people standing on the same front, Shen Zhongbai felt somewhat relieved and nodded, " Since both of you have said this, I will investigate carefully to find out what happened. As for how to deal with her, it is still up to me. Let’s not talk about those digressions. Let’s sit down and eat first. The food is all It’s already cold.”
Gu Qiang knew that Shen Zhongbai would not imprison Shen Qiangwei in the cold palace so easily. After all, according to the current trend, Shen Qiangwei was the only one who could make the decision in the harem. If she was locked up in the cold palace now, it would be inevitable. There will be some inexplicable suspicions, and Shen Zhongbai will not be able to handle the matters at hand.
Gu Qiang was frightened after the meal. Shen Zhongbai was very scheming. She had been on guard for a long time, but when chatting, Gu Qiang couldn't think for so long. If she paused for too long, it was very likely that she would The person opposite will find out that he is thinking about it, which will arouse his suspicion even more.
After finally finishing the meal, Shen Siyin sent him out of the palace. It wasn't until Shen Siyin turned around and went back that Gu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. Zhuiyun was waiting in the carriage at the door and saw Gu Qiang like this. Somewhat worried, he stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, has something happened?"
"It's not like anything big happened. Anyway, let's go back first." Gu Qiang looked at the palace gate behind her with lingering fear. If this matter comes true today, it will probably be of great help to her. If it doesn't, I'm afraid even Shen Qiangwei is involved.
Gu Qiang sat in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest. She thought about the words she said today and whether any of them revealed her identity. After confirming that Shen Qiangwei would not find out her identity, she felt a little relieved. One breath.
The last time I went to Yuhua Building, in addition to choosing two people to protect me, I also observed the situation of Yuhua Building. No wonder Shen Qianshan went in and out of Yuhua Building many times before, but failed to cause any trouble. Shen Zhongbai noticed that the Yuhua Building was originally a place where ministers from the DPRK and the Central Government often went. Therefore, Shen Qianshan often went in and out of that place, so it was naturally taken for granted by everyone, but no one thought about it. Hualou was originally Shen Qianshan's property.
There are often many dignitaries and dignitaries having fun in Yuhua Tower. Naturally, no one would be surprised that Gu Su Ran and Gu Su Liang would appear there. Last time, Gu Linjiang wanted to use his youngest son in that place. Gu Linxi came to confuse him and make Shen Zhongbai suspicious of him. If he hadn't known Gu Linxi, he would have succeeded.
Places like brothels were still too eye-catching after all. After Gu Qiang understood the entire operation of Yuhua Tower, he felt that although it was hidden from the city, this place was still too eye-catching and not suitable for his next actions.
Not restaurants, not brothels, what other place can be frequented by dignitaries but needs to be a little more secretive? Gu Qiang thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a definite idea, so she slowly opened her eyes.
But just when Gu Qiang opened her eyes, the carriage suddenly stopped, almost throwing Gu Qiang out of the car who was sitting in the car. Gu Qiang calmed down and immediately opened the door curtain. , "Zhuiyun, what happened?"
Zhuiyun looked a little embarrassed. He was driving the carriage well and very smoothly along the way. Such a thing would not happen. However, this man suddenly appeared in front of his carriage. If he hadn't stopped in time just now, If he came down, this man would probably have been crushed under the wheel.
"I don't know if he was drunk, but this man suddenly rushed out from the roadside. After blocking the carriage, he fell to the ground." Zhuiyun looked ashamed, but he could definitely confirm that there was absolutely no collision. Get on this person, but this person seemed to have been hit, but fell in front of the carriage, "But this..."
Gu Qiang narrowed his eyes. In the capital, there are many people who use this method to beg and cheat. Rich people often encounter such things, but the person who fell in front of the carriage, no matter from the clothes or hair accessories, Doesn't he look like a beggar who knows how to beg? Why did he fall in front of his carriage
