Although Shen Qianshan still wants to find out the cause of his mother-in-law's death, Shen Qianshan's most important goal now is to resolve this matter, at least to face the King Cheng. A little contact, and also to test whether he has any other thoughts about the war between himself and Shen Zhongbai? Will you stand by someone's side and help him
"Okay, okay, let's not quarrel. This matter is not important at all. Why are you two still quarreling?" Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Gu Huaian hurriedly came out to smooth things over. To be honest, After the past few days, Gu Huaian felt that he was tired enough. He did not want his sister and brother-in-law to have a quarrel at this juncture. The current situation was already urgent enough. If they If two people had any dispute, it would not be a good thing.
Seeing this situation, Gu Suliang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Qianshan, "This matter about the prince is a long story. We have to discuss it in the long term. We can't rush it for now."
In fact, after saying what he just said, Shen Qianshan had already begun to regret it. Of course he knew that he should not have said anything to Gu Qiang, your voice, and now that she looked a little aggrieved, he felt a little distressed. This matter is indeed due to his bad attitude, but at this time, Shen Qianshan really does not want Gu Qiang to use a woman's magnanimity to measure what they want to do. Shen Qianshan is afraid. If he is still timid now, , they will most likely be unable to accomplish anything.
Shen Qianshan and Gu Qiang both returned to their rooms. After the dispute just now, they didn't talk too much. In the final analysis, this matter was too important to both of them. One was afraid Losing the important people around you, the other wants to find the truth of the past for the important people. There is nothing wrong with both of them, and neither of them is selfish. It’s just that one needs a stable life now, and the other needs What is needed is for all the dusty truths of the past to be unsealed and for everyone in the world to know what the truth of the matter is.
Not long after they returned to the room, someone from the palace sent an imperial edict. Shen Zhongbai didn't know what he was thinking, but he chose to recruit Gu Qiang into the palace at this time, saying that there was something else important. The matter needs to be discussed with him. The ministers in the court who don't know the truth also find it very strange. After all, after Gu Suran no longer has the identity of Prince Consort, he is actually just an ordinary businessman. How can He De let him go? The emperor summoned him every day
After Gu Qiang heard the news, she felt a little embarrassed, but she still packed it up and prepared to enter the palace with the person who came to deliver the message. Gu Huaian was about to come over to see his sister. How is the situation now? She happened to meet him Seeing her getting ready to go out, the two of them exchanged glances. Gu Qiang turned around and said to the little eunuch beside her, "Father-in-law, I forgot to take some things. Please wait here for a while, I will be back soon." .”
The little eunuch came here with the emperor's order on his back. In terms of time, of course the sooner the better, but he just stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Gu Suran was smiling all over his face. It was not the first time he saw him, so naturally he still To save some face, the little eunuch nodded, "Master Gusu, please move a little faster, the emperor is still waiting."
Gu Huaian went upstairs from the other side of Xiaoyao Building and climbed into Gu Qiang's room through the window. "What's going on? Why does he want to ask you to enter the palace again?"
Gu Huaian knew that Shen Zhongbai already knew the identity of his sister, and summoning him at this time would definitely not do anything good. He had to tell his sister to be extra careful after entering the palace.
"It's not a big deal. If I don't want to, there is absolutely no way he can force me. What's more, he is an emperor now. If he knows me as a little girl, he might as well accuse me of deceiving the emperor. It's a good deal." Gu Qiang was not worried about what would happen after she entered the palace, so she naturally had to prepare some things that she did not usually prepare.
"By the way, the last time you went to wake up Shen Zhongbai, did you find anything wrong? I remember if I'm right, the medicinal materials you used last time alleviated his symptoms, right? Then what should I do now? How to do it? Do you want to remind Shen Qiangwei? "
It was only then that Gu Qiang remembered that there was something like Shen Qiangwei. However, looking at Shen Zhongbai's recent state, it seemed that his body had not been eroded by any poison. It seemed that Shen Qiangwei might not have a chance to ask him again. Poisoned, this time entering the palace, maybe he would have a chance to meet Shen Qiangwei face to face.
Gu Huaian hesitated for a moment, "I know you may feel a little uncomfortable when I say it like this, but if you can meet him face to face, I hope you can remind Shen Qiangwei. After all, Shen Zhongbai has already I started to pay attention to the people around me, and I still hope that she can reduce the dosage of medicine to avoid getting angry. As for the next thing, I still have to rely on her to cooperate internally and externally."
Gu Qiang knew why his brother felt uncomfortable. Judging from the situation, lowering the dose would be equivalent to delaying it for a long time. It seemed that they decided to investigate these matters first before taking action. But since they have already After making a decision, Gu Qiang had no choice but to say anything else and had no choice but to respect their opinions.
"It's okay."
Gu Qiang nodded, indicating that she understood. Shen Qiangwei was not sure. Who knew whether he would give up the idea of revenge just because Shen Zhongbai was kind to her. Turn around and start helping Shen Zhongbai
Gu Qiang entered the palace quietly. Shen Qianshan also stayed in the room the whole time. He had no idea that Gu Qiang had been summoned by Shen Zhongbai and had already entered the palace. He just stayed in the room with Gu Su Liang. Discuss what should be done next.
After Shen Zhongbai took the medicine that Gu Huai'an prepared for him, his overall condition was indeed much better. In addition, Feng Yao had returned to Kyoto now. For him, he was more or less a capable person. Now that he could rely on someone who could fight against outsiders, Shen Zhongbai felt completely relaxed, and then he wanted to take this opportunity to convince Gu Qiang again.
"Gusu Ran, a common man, comes to see the Emperor."
Gu Qiang was still not used to kneeling down to worship, but since she was now wearing men's clothing, she had to continue pretending.
When Shen Zhongbai saw Gu Qiang kneeling down, he quickly stretched out his hand to help her, "You and I don't have to follow such heavy etiquette. When we meet in the future, I allow you not to salute me."
"The common people don't dare."
Gu Qiang felt that Shen Zhongbai's words were too ambiguous, and he couldn't agree to it at the moment. If he agreed, it might cause him a lot of trouble in the future.
Shen Zhongbai was speechless by Gu Qiang and could only wave his hand, "It doesn't matter, then it's up to you."
Shen Zhongbai was thinking that he hadn't seen Gu Qiang for a long time. He didn't have so many things on his hands today, so he thought of calling her over, but he didn't expect that Gu Qiang would She still has such a cold and indifferent attitude towards herself, as if she is a completely unimportant person to her.
"Your Majesty, the common people are very grateful to you for not punishing me for deceiving the emperor. However, now that the common people are already guilty, it is not easy to repay Xiao Ming. Now that the emperor has called him into the palace, he is really frightened. , I don’t know why the emperor came to the grassroots this time.”
Gu Qiang didn't want to have too many pleasantries with Shen Zhongbai. After all, the two of them didn't have a very good relationship to begin with. Even if they did, it was only when she was young and ignorant and blind that she had such a relationship. It's just an idea. At this time, I already have no feelings for Shen Zhongbai.
Seeing that Gu Qiang was so indifferent to him, Shen Zhongbai took out a painting from his desk, carefully unfolded it in front of him, and placed it right in front of Gu Qiang.
"I don't believe in any destiny, but when I was at the Chamber of Commerce, when I first saw this painting, I felt that the person in this painting was me."
That was the first time Gu Qiang appeared in front of everyone as Gu Su Ran. It was the first time that she showed off so blatantly that all the businessmen in Kyoto got to know Gu Su Ran.
The matter of that painting was too accidental. If not for the fact that Gu Huai'an had picked up one, and it happened to be this one, Shen Zhongbai would never have known about the existence of this painting in his life, so there was no way to say that it was destiny. So, it was just a mistake.
"Your Majesty, I painted this painting a long, long time ago. Time has passed so long that even I don't remember who the person in this painting is. Maybe it's just the same as the Emperor's back. So the two are very similar, not to mention that Cao Min's painting skills are really poor, but they were already criticized when he was at the Chamber of Commerce, and the Emperor is very sad that he doesn't have to worry so much."
When Gu Qiang said this, he did feel a little guilty, because the person in this painting was indeed Shen Zhongbai, and Shen Zhongbai felt that there was nothing wrong with him. However, at that time, he was full of eyes. Everyone is Shen Zhongbai, so they can draw such paintings.
