The less movement there was between Gu Huai'an and Feng Yao, the more panicked he felt. After all, those two people were extremely smart. If he relaxed his vigilance for a moment, he might be plotted by the two of them. Why? Maybe we should not be more vigilant
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have been ambushing around Lingyin Pavilion for a long time. They really haven't made any movement, but it seems that they haven't seen Gusu Liang in this period of time."
"Gusu Liang?" Shen Zhongbai didn't expect that he would be the one who disappeared. With the current situation in Lingyin Pavilion, none of them can go out. It seems that the only person who can move around flexibly is Gusu Liang. He How could it disappear
"Since when have you not seen him?" When his subordinates said this, it seemed that he had not seen Gusu Liang for a long time. After the banquet that day, he originally thought that he could not By attacking Gu Huaian and Feng Yao, we might be able to find some loopholes in Gu Su Liang's body. How could such a living person disappear again
"My subordinates don't pay attention to his whereabouts on weekdays, so I don't know exactly when he disappeared. However, in these days, Her Royal Highness the Princess has not left Lingyin Pavilion, and it is difficult for my subordinates to get close. I don't know what happened. What happened."
Speaking of his younger sister, Shen Zhongbai felt extremely worried. He actually knew that what he did last time was a bit too much. After all, Si Yin slipped and fell off a cliff, and it was Qingping who saved her. I just thought that the two of them would be fine, so I wanted to take this opportunity to enter the Listening Pavilion, but I didn't expect that I would completely piss off my sister.
"Look at the medicines that Gu Huai'an went to the drugstore to buy recently. Make a detailed list and show it to the imperial doctor. Ask the imperial doctor to come and see me after reading it."
After falling from such a high place, he must have broken tendons and fractures. I haven't seen him show up for so many days. He probably can't get out of bed yet. It's just a pain for myself. That sister has been pampered since she was a child, although she has never been in the palace. , I have never served anyone else, yet I have to serve a commoner like him.
"I accept the order."
"By the way, since Gusu Liang is not in Lingyin Pavilion, you should send someone to try again to see if they can get in."
It seems that I have no news about Gu Qiang during this period of time. Not knowing Feng Yao's true identity really makes me feel uneasy. I vaguely feel that this Feng Yao makes me feel very sad. He is so familiar, is it possible that he is really Shen Qianshan
Shen Yuehua has not been able to leave his palace for a long time. People around him look at him very seriously, and he has no idea what else is going on in the palace. On weekdays, Shen Siyin is bored. Maybe I would come to see myself and say a few words, but counting the days, Shen Siyin, I haven’t come to see me in a month.
It was too boring to be alone. Shen Yuehua didn't want to waste his whole life in such a place, let alone marry someone he didn't even know, even though he had already wanted it. The idea of escaping from the palace, but due to the fact that he is not a martial arts expert, he cannot escape from the heavy guards of the palace. He is afraid that he will be captured before he even walks out of the gate of his palace.
Although she longed for life outside, Shen Yuehua had no way to escape for a while. The best way was to just stay there and see if there were any other opportunities to escape.
"If I remember correctly, does the Minister of War still have some troops in his hands last time?" Shen Zhongbai failed to get the troops and horses from King Cheng last time, which was already a mistake, but There hasn't been much movement on his side these days. I think the person who was burned to death in Prince Cheng's Mansion is not that important. It's just that his own fire not only failed to threaten him, but I'm afraid Prince Cheng won't help either. By myself.
Song Yu was originally reporting on the status of the ministers in the court next to Shen Zhongbai, but he did not expect that Shen Zhongbai would suddenly ask such a confused question, but he still thought about it for a while.
"Yes, there are, but most of them are soldiers and horses guarding the capital. They are not many in number, but they are elite enough. After Jing Zhaoyin's house was seized before, the strength of his men, and when Prime Minister Gu's house was ransacked, his men All the troops and horses that can be controlled have been given to the Ministry of War. Except for the troops who are still guarding the border, most of the rest are already in the hands of the Minister of War."
Song Yu has never been very good at dealing with this Minister of War, but after all, he is the one who recruits my heavy soldiers, and he cannot easily offend him, so he has always been at odds with each other in face and heart, and there has been no substantial conflict.
"Has he just lost a lady?"
Shen Zhongbai could also tell from what happened at the last banquet that Liu Shangshu still wanted to curry favor with him. In this case, he could give him a favor.
"Indeed, but it seems to have been a few months ago. What are you doing, Your Majesty?"
"Princess Yuehua is twenty-seven. She is not married yet, but Mr. Liu's family thinks that he can support the mistress of the backyard. If this is the case, it is better to give them a marriage."
After hearing this, Song Yu obviously couldn't believe his ears. No matter how old Princess Yuehua was, Liu Shangshu was already a bad old man in his forties. Could it be that Yuehua really wanted to Is it okay for the princess to marry such a bad old man
"Your Majesty, Princess Yuehua is only twenty-seven years old, but Liu Shangshu..."
"Liu Shangshu's family should have a young concubine. According to this principle, it should not be considered as wronging the princess. You don't need to say more about this matter. Let's discuss this matter earlier and arrange it. The royal family The Department of Etiquette should be in charge of clan marriages. Send an order to Gu Huaian and ask him to prepare for this matter."
"But Mr. Gu has been claiming to be ill during this period. He has not come to court in the morning, and his subordinates can't find him."
"If you can't find him in the palace, won't you go out to find him? Leave this matter to him and see how he reacts now."
Shen Zhongbai didn't know what kind of friendship there was between Gu Huai'an and Shen Yuehua, but he had heard about the last time Shen Yuehua was trapped in the woods and Gu Huai'an sacrificed his life to save her. This time, he wanted to take a look. Is this Gu Huaian who he thinks he is? He does have a crush on Shen Yuehua.
If not, he can use Shen Yuehua to exchange for a loyal Minister of the Ministry of War. If there is, he can also use Shen Yuehua to blackmail Gu Huai'an. No matter how he handles it, he will not lose anything. .
"I obey the order."
Although Song Yu did have some objections to this matter, he was just a minister. He couldn't say what the emperor's fault was. All he could do was act according to orders. What's more, Shen Zhongbai did help him avenge himself. Even if it was What is really there, I can’t say.
Song Yu didn't know that what Shen Zhongbai did at that time was not only to avenge himself, but also to consolidate his throne. But for him, being able to avenge his brother was already a great gift, regardless of Shen Zhongbai No matter what you do, you must be on his side.
Shen Yuehua was still thinking about how he should escape from the palace, but he didn't expect that he had been sold without knowing anything. After all, he was also the treasure that the late emperor loved. Who would have thought that the late emperor would After leaving, Shen Yuehua was actually regarded by his younger brother as a tool to control the ministers above the court.
Naturally, the Minister of War was the first to receive such a decree, but it was not very formal. It was just an oral instruction from Song Yu. He was already a middle-aged and prosperous man. Being able to marry a twenty-seven-year-old princess was a big deal for him. Of course, it was something he wished for. This incident was enough to prove that he still had a high status in the emperor's heart. He was naturally overjoyed.
However, Gu Huaian's side was not so accepting.
Song Yu killed the people sent by Lingyin Pavilion, but this time he had to go into Lingyin Pavilion again. The psychological pressure was really great, but everyone was their own master, and he did not betray Gu Huaian. For the sake of being a friend I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, and there is really no need to blame myself for anything.
"Master Song, it's not time to eat yet, why are you here?"
Ever since he knew that Song Yu sent people to attack the people in Lingyin Pavilion, Gu Qiang was very hostile to the person in front of him, and his words were naturally a little unpleasant. However, Song Yu did not argue with him, "I'll do it." Let’s find Mr. Gu and Mr. Gusu for convenience.”
"Why don't you go to his house to look for Mr. Gu, but why do you come to my place?"
During this period, in order to take good care of Qingping, Gu Huaian lived directly in Lingyin Pavilion and rarely returned to the Nine Princes' Mansion. Song Yu naturally knew that the person in front of him was giving him an eviction order.
"Of course I have something important to come to see Mr. Gu. I can only talk to Mr. Gu about this matter. It is not convenient to communicate with the Second Young Master about court affairs. If Mr. Gu is not free now, I will wait here for him. Until you come out."
Song Yu was not a kind person in the first place. What's more, this time, he didn't come here for his own business. Naturally, he didn't need to save any face for Gusu Ran. What's more, the last time he sent someone to kill, it was Gusu Ran. Ran's substitute, the person in front of him must have known about this matter for a long time, and he may not necessarily hate himself that much.
"Well, Master Song, just wait here. I have other things to be busy with, so I won't call you."
