However, when people in the palace looked at the situation between Gu Huaian and Shen Zhongbai, people around them couldn't understand what was going on.
However, in order to protect themselves, everyone tried not to stay too close to Shen Zhongbai. After all, being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. Gu Linjiang used to be a famous person by the emperor's side, but what kind of end did he end up with later? Woolen cloth
People in the harem are all panic-stricken now, and Shen Zhongbai really doesn't have the heart to care about what those women think. Anyway, they are all people he doesn't like, so placing them in the harem is not a good idea. It allows their family members to feel at ease. As for their attitude towards themselves, it is not very important to them. As long as they dare not plot against themselves behind their backs, other things do not matter to them.
Shen Siyin actually never thought that his brother would do such a thing, but the fact was before his eyes. Gu Zhiyao died in front of him, and he was still lying on his bed. No matter how much he deceived himself this time, , and there was no way to convince herself that this matter had nothing to do with her brother. As a medical student, she had a thorough understanding of life and death, and she did not have a deep friendship with Gu Zhiyao. , so it was not Gu Zhiyao's death that touched him all this time, but his brother.
These days, Shen Zhongbai has not shown up. He probably also knows that if he appears now, Shen Siyin may not be able to accept it, but he still often sends people to send some things. Shen Siyin has never liked to interact with those in the harem. Women are generally knowledgeable, so they deliberately arranged their place to be very remote. She has not been out much these days. Most of the things Shen Zhongbai sent over were just glanced at and then put aside without any response.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be getting more and more serious, Shen Zhongbai had no choice but to go to Shen Qiangwei's palace. He had been busy with the things at hand during this period and had never been to her place. In this palace Among them, she is the only one who can tell her the truth. In this situation, Shen Zhongbai can't find anyone else to talk to except Shen Qiangwei.
But Shen Zhongbai would never have thought that the only person he trusted in the palace would have already had murderous intentions towards him. After hearing Gu Huaian's words recently, Shen Qiangwei was cautious at first and did not continue. Shen Zhongbai was poisoned, and Shen Zhongbai seemed to have been busy with other things recently. At first, Shen Qiangwei didn't know what happened to Gu Zhiyao, but she knew that he seemed to have made some mistakes, so Only then was Shen Zhongbai dealt with it, but he didn't expect that there were so many things behind it.
When the maids and eunuchs in the palace have nothing to do, they like to spread gossip. This spread spreads from one to another, and most of the origin and process of the incident will be spread and the truth will be lost, but the result is already obvious. Gu Zhiyao was indeed dead, and was killed by Shen Zhongbai himself.
Shen Qiangwei did not expect that Shen Zhongbai would choose to come to her palace at this time. She originally thought that Shen Zhongbai should be feeling distressed by the current panic situation in the palace, but she did not expect that Shen Zhongbai did not mention this at all. He treated the matter as an important matter, and all he thought about was his sister's condition.
In fact, Shen Qiangwei has been very conflicted in her heart. She doesn't know if she really attacks Shen Zhongbai, will it be a betrayal of her friends? But then Shen Qiangwei gradually saw that not only what she had experienced, Shen Zhongbai was unscrupulous no matter what he did. What he had done to himself before and what he had done to other people in the palace, In addition, what he did to Gu Zhiyao this time, everything shows that he is a murderous demon in the world. No matter how you say it, it is a living life, and with such a move, he will It's one corpse and two lives. This is exactly the same situation as what I have experienced before. How can I not feel uncomfortable? How can I trust that the person in front of me will not attack me again
After Shen Qiangwei learned about this incident at the beginning, her mood was indeed gloomy for two days, but after all, this matter has not yet fallen on her head. For herself, she only needs to be a bystander. , so when she heard that Shen Zhongbai had arrived at the door of his bedroom today, Shen Qiangwei simply cleaned herself up and came out with a smile.
"Why is Your Majesty so free today and come to this concubine?" Shen Qiangwei will never face Shen Zhongbai with her true emotions at any time. During the previous period, he had never come to her place. He had seen some clues about what he thought was poisoning, and since he never came to his bedroom, the matter was put on hold for the time being.
But then I soon learned about Gu Zhiyao's affairs, and immediately felt relieved. After all, in comparison, what Gu Zhiyao caused this time was really a big deal. In order to prevent the women in the harem from controlling him, Gu Zhiyao, so Those women have never been allowed to be pregnant with their own children, and at the same time, they can be used as pawns to control their mother's family.
"Why don't you have any incense today?" Shen Zhongbai remembered that there was always a very light incense smell in Shen Qiangwei's bedroom, which made him feel very comfortable after coming here. But why did he come today? At that time, wasn't that kind of incense burned in Shen Qiangwei's bedroom
Naturally, Shen Qiangwei would not tell him that the incense was the culprit that caused his general weakness and frequent fatigue. She just smiled faintly and said, "The weather is getting cooler gradually, and everyone in the Concubine Palace is also getting colder." I’m too lazy, so sometimes I don’t light the incense.”
Shen Qiangwei was actually afraid that the things she put in the incense burner would be discovered by others, so she always put the things in the incense burner herself. Shen Zhongbai didn't come to her during this time, so why did she keep lighting the incense burner? As for the incense, I knew what was in the incense. Even though I really wanted to kill Shen Zhongbai, I wouldn't sacrifice my life to be buried with him. How could I light that incense all day long? Where's the fragrance
Furthermore, if Shen Zhongbai comes over at any time and he has no time to clean up the contents of the incense burner, and someone discovers something wrong with it, wouldn't it be worth the loss
"The people in this palace have become more and more careless in doing things recently. It seems that you are still too kind to them. This time, you should call out the little eunuch who forgot to light the incense and punish him properly. , it can be regarded as killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and other people in your palace will not dare to do this again in the future."
Shen Zhongbai, do you want to use some gentle method? Besides, if the people working in this palace are so careless, how can the situation in this palace be okay
Besides, those people are short-sighted slaves. If you don't tell them how serious the consequences will be, they will never take the initiative to do these things.
Shen Zhongbai is still very good to Shen Qiangwei. After all, in this palace, there are few people with clean backgrounds and no one who wants to use his ideas. Shen Qiangwei is also a noble concubine after all. If she is even in the palace If everyone is like this, then these servants must not care about her too much.
"Actually, it's nothing serious. There's no need for the emperor to be so angry. I'll handle this matter properly. The emperor should go in first and sit down and have a cup of tea."
Looking at the sad look on his face, Shen Qiangwei knew that Shen Zhongbai must have encountered something that couldn't be solved, so he came to him. I heard that Gu Zhiyao died in Shen Siyin's palace at that time, and Shen Siyin He is a medical student with a kind heart and hates seeing others like this. I am afraid that because of this incident, he has a grudge against his brother. He really has no way to find anyone else to deal with this matter, so he blames himself. .
Shen Qiangwei was born in a brothel, and she has already made it her instinct to observe words and emotions, so Shen Zhongbai often feels that Shen Qiangwei is very considerate. In fact, it is because Shen Qiangwei can tell when Shen Zhongbai wants something and when he doesn't want something, so that she can always He regarded him as someone who could say thoughtful words.
But even if I can do this, what can I do? In Shen Zhongbai's eyes, he is just a chess piece that he can use. At this time, he is still someone he can talk to. But in the future, if there is something worth using in him, maybe When will he plot against me, and I don’t know how he will be used.
"In this palace, you are probably the only one who can see what I want." Shen Zhongbai sighed helplessly. To be honest, the more important things happen, the more Shen Zhongbai becomes I feel like there is no one around me who can discuss things with me.
In comparison, Song Yu is too eager for quick success and instant gain when doing things. Sometimes he doesn't even think about what the result will be. He can only see what is in front of him and doesn't care about it at all. Will consider what the long-term development of things will be like.
