The words of the guard were already very obvious at this point. They were hinting to Shen Zhongbai that Gu Suran might be Gu Qiang. If it were in the past, Shen Zhongbai might not have been so suspicious, but since he knew that Gu Suran was a woman After that, Shen Zhongbai had more and more doubts about him. In addition, there was a strange fire in the palace at that time. How to prevent Shen Zhongbai from becoming suspicious
"Is there any definite evidence? That's all..." Shen Zhongbai didn't know why he was suddenly so excited. But when he heard that Gu Qiang might have faked his death and changed his identity, he suddenly couldn't control his emotions. Where? Why do you care about the crime of deceiving the emperor
If Gu Qiang is really alive, no matter what means he uses, he will definitely let him come back to him.
"Your Majesty, now, are we going to find some evidence?"
"Go, but you must be careful and don't alert them."
No matter what Gu Zhiyao said, it was impossible for the young eunuch to disobey Shen Zhongbai's order and just let her go in so arrogantly. The two were in a stalemate for a while, but Gu Zhiyao softened his attitude first, "Just go in and announce that she is my concubine. I just came here to deliver some soup, and I will never disturb the Emperor’s discussion.”
Although Gu Zhiyao still looked down on this little eunuch in his heart, after all, this person had been serving Shen Zhongbai for a long time. If he didn't have some skills in handling things, Shen Zhongbai would not let him stay with him so easily.
This matter is not a big deal, but Gu Zhiyao came here today with the intention of showing off. When the chicken soup was brought out from her bedroom, it was still steaming hot. When it was brought over, it was already at normal temperature. In order to let Shen Zhongbai see his feelings, if he continues to wait like this, I am afraid that the chicken soup in his hand will really cool down completely.
Gu Zhiyao knew that in Shen Zhongbai's heart, she was definitely not as good as Gu Qiang and Shen Qiangwei, or even Gu Zhihua, but she just wanted to use her own efforts to give Shen Zhongbai a try. Seeing herself was a way out. She couldn't always be controlled by her father, so she wanted to specially cook chicken soup and bring it to her today.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has said that you should not enter unless summoned. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed. Please don't embarrass me."
Gu Zhiyao felt that she was so angry that she was almost speechless. Looking at the little eunuch in front of her, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Do you think that because I have given you some face, you have forgotten your identity?"
A little eunuch, no matter in terms of rank or status, could not compare with him. How could he dare to say such things to himself
After all, she was Shen Zhongbai's concubine and a young lady from a wealthy family. However, this little eunuch used some reason to prevent her from entering unless she was invited. It was really ridiculous.
Shen Zhongbai was giving instructions to his guards when he happened to hear the quarrel outside. It was hard to hear clearly in the study, so Shen Zhongbai patiently finished everything he wanted to say before opening the door from the study.
Shen Zhongbai has always been a humble gentleman, as gentle as jade, but now his serious face is enough to be tolerated. Gu Zhiyao knew that she had said the wrong thing, but she was not as tall as modern Gao. Just when she said this, Shen Zhongbai suddenly opened the door and came out, and his whole body suddenly panicked.
Gu Zhiyao couldn't think of any better way for a while, so she simply apologized, "Your Majesty, I just heard that the Emperor has not been able to rest well these days, so I specially cooked chicken soup to give to the Emperor to nourish his body, but after I had a little argument with this young father-in-law Qi La at the door of the study, and that's why I made the noise to the Emperor, please don't take offense to it."
Shen Zhongbai didn't know what kind of person he was in the stock market, but from his words full of loopholes, Shen Zhongbai was slightly aware of it, "It seems that this concubine seems to think that the place where she lives is not remote enough, so she actually reached out to Is it true that one of the eunuchs or maids around me exposed my recent physical condition, so that Concubine Yao, who lives in such a remote place, would come to care about me?"
Shen Zhongbai said this seemingly calmly, but in fact, there was a thorn in every word. He was mocking Gu Zhiyao for arranging Xinzuo around him. It was also a mockery of Gu Zhiyao's ignorance. Although Gu Zhiyao was stupid, he was not stupid. He couldn't even hear this, and the look on his face gradually became a little unbearable.
"Your Majesty, my concubine..."
"By the way, I heard that this Concubine Yao often had trouble sleeping in the past few days. I wonder if she has done anything unscrupulous. If she feels that she can't sleep, she can actually ask the palace maids in her palace to take the entire All the candles in the palace are lit, and I don’t have to pay for a few lanterns.”
Shen Zhongbai had known for a long time that Gu Zhiyao often harassed Si Yin just to attract his attention. Si Yin also had a good temper. If it were him, he would have turned against Si Yin a long time ago. It turned out that it was after he had been with him for more than half a month that he came to him to file a complaint.
"Concubine..."
"I think it's already getting late. My dear, why don't you go to the palace to rest earlier? I think if you leave now, my dear, you can still return to the palace before the sun goes down."
Gu Zhiyao subconsciously looked up at the noon sun, feeling even more uncomfortable, but after all, it was a fact that she was not favored, and she could not argue with it.
Shen Zhongbai was in a good mood today. After all, he had just learned that it was possible that it was Gu Qiang who had bumped into such a shady person, so he simply said a few more words to prevent Gu Zhiyao from continuing to do so. Make yourself upset.
Gusu Liang finally found the opportunity to tell Shen Qianshan and the others all the news he got from Jiangnan this time. These news were not recorded in the royal family's files or the files of the Ministry of Rites. Even Shen Qianshan Qianshan himself has not only experienced a small part of it. Gusu Liang's words undoubtedly made Shen Qianshan make great progress in investigating the death of his mother and concubine.
"Is that all? Did your uncle say who was in the palace who was responsible for interrogating your uncle and master at that time? Why was there no mention of Gu Linjiang from the beginning to the end of this matter?"
According to common sense, Gu Linjiang should have been the prime minister at that time. Gu Qiang was not yet born at that time, that is, when Gu Linjiang's first wife was still alive. Even my young self at that time remembered that Gu Linjiang was in the court at that time. So high-spirited, why didn't this story mention even a single word about Gu Linjiang from beginning to end
"I have already asked my uncle about this matter. My uncle said that this matter indeed had nothing to do with the prime minister at that time, so I was wondering whether Gu Linjiang accidentally knew something about this matter. News, that's why you told us this?" Gusu Liang felt that there was no loophole in what his uncle said, so at this time, he completely believed it and didn't think there would be any surprises.
"That's strange. Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with him?" Gu Qiang also felt a little helpless. She was not born yet at that time. How could she know about something about them? This matter can be regarded as It's the only thing I can't talk about lately.
"But my uncle said that when the two of them were interrogated by Dali Temple, it was not the minister of Dali Temple who interrogated them, but the people in the palace. I think this matter should have something to do with the people in the palace, so we Should we continue to look for clues from the palace?"
What Uncle Master said this time helped them clarify the timeline of that year, and it also saved Shen Qianshan some energy and gave him a lot of new ideas. Gusu Liang has also been recalling it carefully. All the details that my uncle had told me, I was afraid that I might have missed something.
"Okay, then I will start with the people who served the Queen Mother back then. I would like to thank you very much this time." Shen Qianshan did not expect that Gusu Liang would come all the way for his own affairs. He ran to Jiangnan to ask his uncle, but he was really lucky. After so many years, there were still so many clues. It seemed that God arranged for them to meet for a purpose, or maybe It was God who wanted to help him, so he allowed him to get to know Gusu Liang.
Gusu Liang doesn't like them very much. He always takes matters into his own hands without telling him. So this time, he has helped a lot. After all, he doesn't feel such a big debt. He should have done it earlier. Tell your brother about this and let him know that their master and master uncle have not done anything evil, but that they accidentally broke into a secret that they should not be involved in. , but now that everything has returned to normal, these experiences of mine can be regarded as valuable experience.
Shen Qianshan did what he said and decisively found the two maids who stayed with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother must have known about this matter. Although it was not necessarily true that the maids around her also knew about it, but at least they would be better than You need to know more.
Most of the old nuns in the palace have returned to their homes, and it will be even more troublesome for Shen Qianshan to find them. But now that he has an idea, it is only a matter of time to find him.
