There is no difference at all between being deceived for so long and sitting on the throne as a puppet emperor. They are both a shame.
"I..." Perhaps it was because the person opposite was so imposing, Gu Qiang didn't even think about how to reply for a moment. Instead, she was blocked and couldn't say anything.
"Alas..." Shen Zhongbai sighed helplessly, "I originally thought that you were so cold to me just now because I just dealt with your father, but now it seems that I still shouldn't give you this time. Calm down, the time I gave you is too generous, so you have time to hesitate."
"When you were able to leave the palace smoothly, I don't believe that no one was helping you behind the scenes. Whether it was inside or outside the palace, there would definitely be someone to help you, and there was also Gusu Liang."
Shen Zhongbai was certain that Gu Su Liang had definitely known about it all along, because from the very beginning, Gu Su Liang had helped Gu Qiang obtain this false identity. If someone really wanted to accuse someone, the first person to bear the brunt would of course be Gu Su Liang. cold.
"Your Majesty, if you want to punish me, you should do it to me. You should not involve those innocent people. They may be completely unaware."
"Is it possible? Does Gusu Liang know what his brother looks like? Does he not know where his brother is? Your escape from the palace must be related to him. If I really want to investigate this matter , no matter what, there is no way he can clean up the relationship between this matter."
Shen Zhongbai originally just wanted to explain the matter to Gu Qiang in a nice manner, but Gu Qiang's indifferent and distant mood still affected him, making him a little angry, so he could only use this method to threaten Gu Qiang.
"Then what the emperor means is that if I change my identity and become another person according to your arrangement, and become your concubine in the palace, I will let everyone involved in this matter go, right? After all, this deal It seems that I am making a lot of money." Gu Qiang twitched his lips, "But the matter is so important that the emperor must give the common people some time to think about it. Anyway, all the handles are now in the emperor's hands. Even if I want to run away , is it too late?"
"Qian'er is indeed smart. These arrangements I have made are definitely the best for you, so you'd better not use any other ideas. Except for Gusu Liang, don't forget that you still have your brother. "
Every word Shen Zhongbai said touched Gu Qiang's heart. After all, these friends around him would more or less have something to do with the fact that he faked his death and escaped from the palace. Now, even if he wants to get rid of it, It's basically impossible, let alone A Liang and his brother. But now Shen Qianshan hasn't come back yet. He can't make any decision about such an important matter. What should he do now
In the end, Shen Zhongbai did not choose to let Gu Qiang make a decision on the spot, and Gu Qiang's attitude began to become a little ambiguous, which made Shen Zhongbai feel that he might still have some hope, but he didn't want Gu Qiang to walk out of the main entrance of the palace in despair, and happened to meet Gusu Liang, who has always been there.
Seeing Gu Qiang's current state, Gu Suliang said nothing more, "Get in the car first, and we'll talk about it when we get back."
Indeed, now that Shen Qianshan is not in Kyoto, there are many things that they cannot get the exact plan for alone. It seems that it is too late to wait for this matter. If she waits for Shen Qianshan to come back, Gu Qiang may have been killed long ago. Shen Zhongbai threatened to enter the palace.
"No, we still have to put off this matter first. No one knows which day he is in a good mood or which day he is in a bad mood. We can't take this risk." Gu Huaian has always been cautious when it comes to his sister's affairs. He was decisive. He knew very well what kind of person Shen Zhongbai was. If his sister really married him, she would really suffer in the future.
Seeing Gu Huaian's excitement, Gusu Liang quickly patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be anxious. If there is no good solution for the time being, then you might as well just complain about illness first. Anyway, Shen Zhongbai knew in his heart that you were trapped in When we were in the Miasma Forest, our body suffered a lot of damage, so it's fair to be frail and sick now. Let's see if there is any other way to get over this matter first."
Gu Qiang had no better way, so he could only nod his head. It seemed that he would have to stay in Xiaoyao Building for the next period of time.
Gu Huai'an and Gu Su Liang wanted to reconsider the terrain of the palace. After all, if they really wanted to save Lou Mingyue, they must always be sure that they would not get themselves involved. Of course, it was not just that. If there is a chance, they also want to make some noise. If there is any commotion in the palace, it might affect Shen Zhongbai.
It's also good to give him a little distraction.
Before it was fully light, Gu Qiang was woken up by the knocking on the door. To be honest, she would have been worried about the situation of the few of them. Gu Qiang did not sleep deeply, but it was almost dawn. When I saw it, I squinted my eyes slightly.
It was obviously summer and the days were relatively long, but it was still dark outside the door. Gu Qiang did not dare to delay, fearing that there would be some accident, so she quickly got up and opened the door.
Gu Huaian walked in wearing wet clothes. Water was still dripping from his hair, and he looked very embarrassed. Gu Qiang quickly handed over the clothes she had just casually put on her body. Seeing his appearance, why? Maybe don't worry, just let him in quickly.
"Zhui Feng, go boil some hot water."
Zhuifeng got up after hearing the noise outside, but he didn't expect to see such a scene. He subconsciously wanted to go around Gu Huaian's figure to see if Gu Suliang was following behind.
Gu Huaian probably understood Zhui Feng's mood, and waved his hand, "Don't worry, they two are fine. They will probably be back in a while."
After hearing this, Zhui Feng immediately felt relieved. Looking at 1, who was already speaking with a breathy voice, he didn't dare to delay. He quickly put down the things in his hands and went to the backyard to boil water.
Gu Qiang brought clean towels and clothes to the room. Seeing his brother's condition, he was afraid that he had fallen into the lake and soaked for an unknown amount of time. His lips had also begun to turn white. It looked like he was in really bad condition. .
"What's going on? Didn't you go to the palace? Why did you fall into the water?" Gu Qiang wiped Gu Huai'an's hair without stopping to complain. Although it is summer, it doesn't mean that in this dark night The water in the lake is not cold at all. To make a strong and strong Gu Huaian look like this, he must have been soaking in it for who knows how long.
Zhui Feng also found the way to survive that he had put away earlier. Gu Huai'an didn't pay much attention to it. He took off his clothes directly and put on the clean clothes that Gu Qiang brought over. He continued to talk to the stove for who knows how long. , then he managed to regain his composure and spoke slowly.
"I originally thought that most of the guards in the imperial city were patrolling in groups. Who would have thought that I would encounter a straggler. I was unlucky. There was actually a little eunuch who was so sneaky that he didn't know. What were I going to do? I was caught by the straggler of the Jin Yiwei outside. The noise got louder and louder. I had no place to hide, so I could only lie down under the strange rocks on one side. There was water underneath. I don’t know how long it took me, but after everyone dispersed, I dared to step out, I was exhausted.”
Gu Qiang didn't dare to speak because she didn't know what the situation was, so she could only serve tea and water and wait for Gu Su Liang and Zhui Yun to come back.
Indeed, as Gu Huaian said, Gusu Liang and Zhuiyun had no problems at all. When it was almost dawn, the two of them returned to Xiaoyao Building, and Gu Huaian was indeed already asleep at that time. Liang couldn't keep up the energy to wait for the two of them to come back, so he fell asleep in a daze.
"What's going on?" Gu Su Liang and Zhui Yun did come back safely, but as soon as they entered the door, they saw Gu Huaian, who insisted on sleeping in the hall. As soon as they entered the palace, they went It turns out that the place of Qingxin Palace was really bad. I don’t know why Shen Zhongbai would allow such a large burnt area near his study.
There is no shortage of money in the palace. They have been burning for more than half a year, but Shen Zhongbai has not asked anyone to repair it. It is really unreasonable to say that, but fortunately, Shen Zhongbai has been discussing things in the study. Some of the guards were near the study and did not notice them at all. After confirming that there were no problems with their previous maps, Gusu Liang and Zhuiyun climbed up to the high wall of the palace, preparing to make some noise. Come, so that you can attract people here.
But from a distance, he saw fire appearing on the other side of the palace.
"Did Gu Huaian just say that he went in that direction?" Gu Suliang suddenly felt something wrong. If he remembered correctly, that direction should be where Gu Huaian passed. It was so unlucky that he happened to bump into the patrol. Jin Yiwei
Zhuiyun looked in the direction of his finger, narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, "It seems to be true. So what should we do now? Should we go over and rescue him?"
Gusu Liang's mind was still clear. After such a long distance, they couldn't be sure that something had happened to Gu Huaian? You still have to do the things you are doing first. If there is any noise here, people over there should listen to the noise and come over. Maybe Gu Huaian will be able to escape better.
