Shen Zhongbai looked at Gu Qiang now and felt a little distressed in his heart, but he didn't want to show it so obviously. He always felt that it was because he had always been so good to Gu Qiang that he let him be so unscrupulous. I lose my temper on my own side.
Gu Qiang nodded. He had seen people without tongues before. If they were going to die without tongues, how could they still be alive
Shen Zhongbai originally thought that he had a long memory, but he never thought that the person in front of him had completely different thoughts.
Shen Zhongbai felt bored looking at a person who was completely speechless. He had nothing to say. It was almost time to go to the morning court. He could only leave Gu Qiang here and leave quickly. Go to morning.
Gu Huaian's physical condition seems to be recovering well. It seems that Chu Junyou's men were too gentle last time. These skin injuries are nothing to those who have been wandering around the world all year round. They should also try out all the methods they have.
Shen Zhongbai had a vague feeling that in the morning today, Gu Huaian must have asked me to say something very ugly to him.
"Did Master Gu recover quickly? He has fully recovered so quickly."
"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, there is nothing serious about Xiaguan's health. He simply applied some medicine and it's no big deal. Xiaguan came today because he has something to ask the Pope."
"Mr. Gu, just say what you want to say. Why do you have to beat around the bush like this?"
"Princess Yuehua passed away last month, but the Feng rebels rebelled last month, so the funeral of Princess Yuehua has not been dealt with. So, does the emperor want to make up for it now?"
Gu Huai'an really didn't want him to feel at ease, so he brought up these things about Chen Sesame and rotten millet. Shen Zhongbai had already disliked Shen Yuehua, and casually responded to the news of death, and now Gu Huaian is still taking advantage of it. Shen Zhongbai must have been dissatisfied when he came out to speak out. Unfortunately, in the court in front of all the civil and military officials, he could not show his dissatisfaction too obviously, so he could only smile with a smile on his face.
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Gu is the Minister of Rites. Shouldn't this kind of thing be left to you? Do you have to do such trivial things yourself?" Shen Zhongbai didn't want to make a fuss at this time. What the heck, Gu Huaian made it clear that he still couldn't figure out a way to save his sister, so he found something to do to make himself uncomfortable.
It's a pity that Shen Zhongbai's good mood was not broken so quickly. Instead, he looked at the other party with a smile. After all, during the recent period, both the imperial army and the city patrol have withdrawn part of their troops. Now inside the palace, The first place is not that they, the Jianghu people, can easily come in, let alone leave with Gu Qiang, it is simply impossible.
"In this case, I will do it in accordance with the official's way."
Although Gu Huai'an is not in a good mood now, he has made some progress after all. Chu Tiankuo has left Chu Junyou outside the palace. The only people in the palace who he has not dealt with now are the Imperial Guards and the Jinyi Guards. , Chu Tiankuo was still easy to deal with in the absence of Chu Junyou.
"What did Gu Huai'an mean today? I'm so angry!" Shen Zhongbai's temper didn't come out until after the morning court. In front of all the civil and military officials, he couldn't say anything too unpleasant, but everyone It can be heard that Gu Huaian is deliberately looking for trouble for himself today.
The more Shen Zhongbai looked like this, he felt a little irritated. If he had known that after Gu Qiang entered the palace, he should not have let Gu Huai'an and Gu Su Liang out so grandly. After letting Gu Huai'an go, he would have raised After the injury is healed, come and be angry with yourself.
"Go to Qingfeng Palace."
Chu Junyou never returned to the palace, and Shen Zhongbai gradually forgot his instructions to him. He just felt that as long as he went to Shen Qiangwei's palace, he would feel calm. It was not necessary in the first place, but today he just In the court, after being teased by Gu Huai'an, he felt extremely sad and angry, so he naturally wanted to calm down as soon as possible.
Shen Qiangwei didn't expect that Shen Zhongbai had just left her place last night and came here again this morning after going to court. Although she had been thinking about things and didn't sleep last night, she had already washed herself and looked energetic. It still looks good.
"Why does the Emperor look so unhappy? Has anyone made the Emperor angry again?"
"It's not that damn Gu Huaian."
When Gu Huaian's name was mentioned, Shen Zhongbai became very angry. Whether it was today's events or previous events, there were many things that he recalled now, as if he was pushing him to do them.
When Liu Chu injured Gu Qiang, now that he looks back and thinks about it carefully, there are indeed many things that are unreasonable. For example, at that time, when Gu Huaian came to see him for the first time, his feelings were indeed real. Yes, he knelt at the gate of the palace, but the next time, he was completely angered, and when he removed Liu Chu from his position as Minister of War, no matter how much he thought about it, he felt as if he had been plotted against.
The more Shen Zhongbai thought about it, the angrier he became, but there was no other way. After all, his sister was trapped in the palace by him, and as long as he changed his identity, no one would know that he was close. The beauty who came from the palace was actually the former Miss Gu and the former Ninth Princess.
"The Emperor actually doesn't need to be too angry. Things in the court are changing rapidly. Perhaps Mr. Gu is doing it for the Emperor's good, so he mentioned some things that make the Emperor unhappy." Who said Shen Qiangwei was smart, but she never It doesn't involve the matter in the thatched cottage. Since Shen Zhongbai didn't explain the matter to himself in detail, either he didn't want to mention it, or he couldn't let himself know about it.
If that's the case, there's no need for her to say more. Why should she just follow what he said and continue.
Gu Huaian, but Shen Zhongbai, when you mentioned this name just now, it did remind Shen Qiangwei of the powders that Gu Huaian brought for him last time. Take another look at the package. He tossed and turned in bed last night, and he didn't know what happened. Should I continue to drug Shen Zhongbai? I almost forgot about it, but then I remembered it after adding his name inexplicably.
"Besides, he is just a minister of the Ministry of Rites anyway, no matter how big he is, he can't be bigger than me."
Shen Zhongbai turned around and looked at Shen Qiangwei's room, and asked with some confusion, "Why didn't you light the incense today? I just had the morning service, and I originally wanted to be a little quieter in your place, you kind of The incense is quite special, next time I will send someone to get you two pieces, and every time I smell the smell, I feel a lot calmer."
"That won't work. It's not that I am stingy, but if the emperor takes away the incense, won't the emperor never come to my place in the future?"
Shen Qiangwei spoke to the person in front of her in a coquettish tone. She didn't forget to light the incense as she spoke. However, this time, she did not include the medicinal powder that Gu Huaian gave her, but simply Just incense.
The incense in her room is enough to calm the nerves. Shen Qiangwei probably won't continue poisoning if she really doesn't think about whether her sister will continue to attack the person in front of her.
"Don't I just want two pieces of incense from you? Why are you so stingy?" Shen Zhongbai was not angry when he heard him say such words. Originally, he came to Shen Qiangwei just to be quiet, even if he really lit a fire in the study With such a fragrance, the pile of complicated government affairs will still make my head feel heavy. It is better to wait until I have free time to come here. For me, it is also a good place to go.
"If the emperor wants it, just take it away. How dare I say no? As long as the emperor likes it, I can adjust the spices according to the emperor's preference."
Speaking of spices, Shen Qiangwei has not forgotten that Gu Zhihua went crazy because of a piece of spices, killed the maid next to her, and was finally imprisoned in the cold palace.
Speaking of perfume masters, Shen Siyin is indeed not the only one. Shen Qiangwei has been staying in the brothel all year round. If she hadn't disappeared for some reason, she would have been kicked out by the stewards in the brothel when she grew old and lost her beauty in the past few years. , so I have always been accustomed to learning things that I don’t need. After being kicked out in the end, I didn’t even have the ability to support my family.
"I didn't know that besides my sister, you are also a master of perfumery."
"I passed this lesson after taking this class. I can't say it's an expert, but I'm quite capable. Talking about love was originally meant for me to use for myself. Since the emperor likes it, just don't take it. I can still adjust it. What’s new is that if the emperor has been feeling uneasy sleeping, I can use some naughty spices to help the emperor sleep better.”
Shen Zhongbai has always liked staying with Shen Qiangwei because Shen Qiangwei always knows what he is thinking in his heart, but he never tries to be smart enough to guess, so as not to offend himself if he guesses wrong. Not happy.
Shen Qiangwei is a smart person, Shen Zhongbai has always known this. However, Shen Zhongbai was intoxicated in this spice, and he still remembered what Chu Junyou said to him a few days ago. Could it be that Shen Qiangwei has been waiting for her all this time? Are you all around yourself just to harm yourself
