"Except for a few people who are relatively close to you, no one knows about the fact that your father was poisoned by worms. They have been trying their best to whitewash the situation. You were young at that time. Maybe it was because of your appearance. That’s why I didn’t notice anything strange about the people around me.”
"Then Queen Mother..."
"Do you know why your father loves your mother and concubine so much?" King Cheng interrupted Shen Qianshan directly and asked him a question instead.
Shen Qianshan didn't reply and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know clearly.
"That's because your mother and concubine look almost exactly the same as Lu Qingqing when she was young. Lu Qingqing knows that your father actually regards your mother and concubine as his substitute, so he has always had a very good relationship with your mother. , the three of them are all kind-hearted and pure people, and no one has ever thought of harming the other. However, it didn't take long for the spies sent by Shen Qianjun to investigate the origin of the Gu. Suddenly, Lu Qingqing It became the target of public criticism.”
"Your father and mother do not resent Lu Qingqing because of this incident. After all, it has been so many years. Your father has gradually come to understand that the previous incident has nothing to do with Lu Qingqing. It's because I haven't been able to get over that hurdle for so many years. As for the cause of your mother's death, I think... "
King Cheng looked back at Gu Qiang, and seemed to be hesitating again, "If you haven't been able to accept the last thing, I think it's better not to tell you about the next thing."
"You want to say that the person who killed my mother was actually Gu Linjiang, right?"
Shen Qianshan suddenly said such a sentence. Gu Qiang next to her seemed to have been struck by lightning. She was unable to move for a moment. She had thought about many, many worst consequences, and she could not avoid this one, but she did not expect it. Shen Qianshan actually knew about this a long time ago.
"you… "
Just when Shen Qianshan's father was seriously ill, a serious commotion had already begun in the court. Not only the palace, but also the remnants of the Lu family and Gu Linjiang. I don't know what the two forces were like. They joined forces to find King Cheng, his mother-in-law, and threatened his life to stop King Cheng's little thought of seeking power and usurping the throne. Instead, he came to Kyoto and prepared to help Bei'an. Get through this disaster.
"Because the blood jade comes from Gu Linjiang, it is impossible for Gu Linjiang to save your mother's life. At that time, the two imperial doctors were imprisoned in the sky prison. I also spent a lot of effort to rescue the two of them. , I just couldn’t save your mother-in-law.”
What did the two of them say next? Gu Qiang, you had no intention of continuing to listen. It was as if your acupoints had been sealed. You sat there in a daze, unable to listen to anything.
Did Shen Qianshan already know about this matter early on
Gu Qiang kept recalling in her mind, hoping to think of something important to refute King Cheng's various claims, but she failed.
The blood jade came from Gu Linjiang, and it was Gu Linjiang who found King Cheng at that time. Even if he wanted to quibble, he had no reason. I don't know when they ended their conversation. Shen Qianshan was not as excited as everyone imagined. He even lightly patted the shoulder of the person next to him and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?" ?”
If he hadn't heard that sentence so clearly just now, Gu Qiang must have thought that he was dreaming now. He had always wanted to help Shen Qianshan find the real murderer of his mother and concubine, but he kept searching. In the end, it was found on himself.
"You don't think that so many things have been going on for so long. Sooner or later, you have to let go of what you should let go of." Shen Qianshan saw that the people around him were not in the right state, and even offered words of comfort. Instead, Gu Qiang It feels even more unreal.
"do you hate me?"
Gu Qiang stared blankly at the person in front of him, not knowing what to say.
Shen Qianshan looked at her seriously and seemed to be thinking, "If it was when I first knew the truth about this matter, I would still have some resentment, but it was not resentment towards you, but towards myself. I hate that I didn't find you earlier, and that you have been wronged by the Gu family for so many years. It's not easy to be such a good person and come to me in such a situation."
Shen Qianshan has actually known about this matter for some time, but before it was just his speculation, but now he has evidence. After hearing the story between his father and the Queen Mother, Shen Qianshan It is even more impossible to use this incident to resent his wife. If the two of them had a rift from then on because of such an incident, wouldn't it be worth the loss
"Besides, I know that this matter has not happened in a day or two. You can see whether my attitude towards you has changed during this time. I have said that some things are harder to accept than we imagined, but We have to accept it.”
Gu Qiang waited for a long time before she gradually came back to her senses, "So what did you say just now? Does it have anything to do with me?"
Gu Qiang has not listened to anything since he heard that Shen Junshan's mother died at the hands of his father. What did the three of them say after that? I didn't listen at all. Shen Qianshan and I have a deep relationship. The two of them have experienced life and death together. There is still a bit of trust. Now that this problem has been solved, I am very curious. Gusu Liang There are two people, the master and the master uncle.
Shen Qianshan sighed helplessly, "How should I put it? This matter is probably God's will."
After Shen Qianjun passed away, the remaining evidence might cause greater disaster. King Cheng was far-sighted and decided at that time to collect all the remaining evidence and hide it in a place where no one knows place, one day these things will be revealed to the world, and sure enough, now the time has finally come.
"The token that Gusu Liang's uncle is holding is a token left to him by His Highness the King. The token allows him to travel unhindered in the northern Xinjiang region, just to avoid giving any He took away the token without leaving evidence, so King Cheng sent Jiang Yu to attack Gusu Liang’s uncle. But it happened to be such a coincidence that Ziqi was actually a chess piece arranged by Gu Linjiang next to Gu Su Liang. Gu Linjiang The method is so powerful that he actually knew early on that Gusu Liang is the disciple of Imperial Physician Cui, and he placed his confidants beside him early on."
After Gu Qiang heard these words, he felt a little unbelievable. If counted, Ziqi had been ambushing Gusu Liang for a long time. Could it be that his true feelings still couldn't move him? It has been so many years, and yet he still wants to attack the people who trust him the most. Sure enough, they are all unbred beasts.
"I'm afraid Jiang Yu will never get over this kind of self-blame in this life. He said that he has been in the world for so many years and has killed countless people, and his hands are stained with blood, but there has never been a person he accidentally killed. But I don't want to kill him. Boren, Boren died because of me."
Having said this, Shen Tianshan sighed helplessly. After all, everything had already happened. Who could have expected that the next thing would be so bizarre and twists and turns
"In the final analysis, it's my father's fault. After he harmed so many people, he is still alive and well. He is just crazy..." Although when he begged Gu Linjiang to leave at the end, what he did did make him feel a little bit... He was moved, but it was impossible for Gu Qiang to forgive him for doing so many wrong things. Perhaps it was because his brother had been helping the world for so many years, cured many patients, and accumulated a lot of blessings for him, so Gu Linjiang should It was because of his brother that he ended up like this. In the final analysis, he had to implicate his kind-hearted brother for no reason.
"Okay, the matter has almost been solved. The reason why King Cheng brought me to Tingyulou is because this place is related to my mother and concubine. There is nothing else. I mentioned the distance between this place and The distance to Kyoto is not that far, so we can go back after taking a short rest and getting ready."
Shen Qianshan did not tell Gu Qiang everything he heard. Some things are in the past, and there is no use in dwelling on the past. Maybe it is better to be well on your own if you have one more person to worry about. After digesting it, you may be able to accept it better.
Among Cheng Wang's words, the most difficult thing for Shen Qianshan to accept was not that the real murderer of his mother and concubine was Gu Linjiang, but that he had been aiming for death since he was born, but knowing that he could remember that he felt that he was doing well. I am very happy. The people around me are so good at whitewashing peace that for so many years, I have no idea that there is such a thing. However, now that it has passed, I will no longer care. Both the father and the mother have passed away, and the rest has to be done by oneself.
"What was King Cheng's reaction? Will he help you?" Gu Qiang didn't want to ask King Cheng directly. In short, King Cheng didn't look like a person who would participate in such a thing. Maybe In this matter, he would choose to watch on the sidelines and not help anyone.
"I'm afraid he will secretly make it clear, but he has had enough of the life he had before. He probably wants to live peacefully with his family now. If he doesn't want to be involved in this matter, I will definitely not Forced.”
