Gu Qiang actually didn't want to die like this. No matter what, he had to watch Shen Qianshan pull Shen Zhongbai down before he could rest assured. Therefore, even the medicine sent by the imperial doctor did not have such an obvious effect on him. , she still insisted on drinking it all.
The imperial doctor in the palace would never understand my feelings and would not want to drink that very bitter soup. But it's still good, at least it's much better than the feeling of being hit in the chest with a blunt instrument.
"Are you sure you can make a difference in his condition? Why do I think she still looks so bad?"
Shen Zhongbai looked at Gu Qiang's condition. It seemed that it had not improved after so many days. It was inevitable that he would question the imperial doctor. But now, even if he asked the imperial doctor, what was the use? The imperial doctor could only do this matter to the best of his ability. He didn't know what kind of situation Gu Qiang was in before, so he couldn't make adjustments based on the previous situation at all. He could only make adjustments based on his own experience. Just control the toxicity in her body and try to protect Gu Qiang's heart and prevent her heart from being damaged.
"Your Majesty, I have tried my best. Hasn't this young lady woke up? Next, we still need to take care of her slowly. After all, the poison has stayed in her body for a long time. If you want to remove it all at once, It's absolutely impossible. If you want to take good care of your body, it will definitely take a long time. Please don't be anxious, Your Majesty. We have to consider this matter in the long run."
The old doctor's words still made Shen Zhongbai a little shaken. To be honest, if Gu Qiang's body had been fine during the previous period, it must have been because of Gu Huai'an's conditioning. But now, if Gu Qiang's body was fine If Huaian was taken into the palace, he would definitely find an excuse to take his sister out.
Gu Qiang will never believe the nonsense Shen Zhongbai told him again. In his heart, he only has a strong possessive desire for himself. What he wants is just someone who can accompany him. He All the unwillingness in his heart was simply because he had promised to marry him, but ended up marrying Shen Qianshan. But how did he know what he had seen
In such a situation, it was not so much that he suddenly changed his mind, but it was Shen Zhongbai's actions that made him completely give up. Not to mention himself, even if it were anyone else in the world, who would She never thought that she would be exploited to that extent by the person she loved most. Not to mention herself, even Shen Qiangwei, who only learned the truth about these things later, still couldn't accept it, right
Shen Qiangwei used to like Shen Zhongbai so much, but after seeing those things, she finally chose to stay away from him, just like Shen Zhongbai now. Although she kept saying that she was worried about herself, she was still unwilling to put her brother He was called into the palace to help him diagnose and treat him.
"How are you feeling recently? The weather seems to be getting colder and colder. I sent someone to make some clothes for you. Because I don't know your specific measurements, I can only ask the tailor in the palace to follow the measurements of other concubines. I've cut a suit of clothes for you. Winter is about to come, and you haven't brought any clothes with you. You must be unprepared. I'll have them delivered this afternoon."
Shen Zhongbai knew that he was actually sorry for Gu Qiang in this matter. If he was willing to let Gu Huai'an come into the palace and help her judge the current situation, Gu Qiang's body might feel better. However, he had worked hard for so long. , I spent so much effort just to get Gu Qiang into the palace. If I gave her away so easily now, I would be a little too unwilling.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but the weather is not that cold."
Gu Qiang's concern for Shen Zhongbai cannot be accepted so naturally. Even if she communicates with him now, Gu Qiang feels very disgusted. In Shen Zhongbai's eyes, power and status are the most important, like A person like Shen Zhongbai is not worthy of having any lover.
In Gu Qiang's view, Shen Zhongbai has already been a crazy person. In his eyes, nothing is as important as the status he currently holds, so for him, only those who have an interest in him, Only then can he completely believe that as for a person like himself, even if he likes him now, in the future, when he can't have the same influence on him as before, he will still have a crush on him. If he abandons himself like a waste, these things are nothing to him.
"Whether you are willing or not, these things I just mentioned will definitely be delivered in the afternoon. Anyway, I am not ready to put you back yet, so you can stay in the palace peacefully. Just don't go anywhere else. The weather will get cold soon. Also, the next period of time is the time for royal family sacrifices. I have a lot of things to worry about, so it's best to do all your things now. Arrange it well so that after a while, when I am too busy and something goes wrong on your side, it will be too late to deal with it at the last minute."
Shen Zhongbai felt that the way he was treating Gu Qiang now was the utmost kindness and righteousness. After all, no one had ever allowed him to treat her like this before. The way he was now was the utmost kindness and righteousness to Gu Qiang. If he could say that he had already done it At this level, if she still can't open her heart to herself, then everything she has done will actually have no meaning.
"Then I still thanked the emperor here? But if I were outside the palace and lived a free life, my friends would have prepared these things for me, and my brother would have helped me a long time ago. I’m ready, I won’t bother the emperor.”
In any case, in the final analysis, Gu Qiang is still unwilling to accept such concern from Shen Zhongbai. After all, she is Shen Qianshan's princess now, not Shen Zhongbai's princess. She has no reason to accept Shen Zhongbai's flattery to her. After all, No matter how good he is to her, she will never forgive him. Those things he has done before, the feeling of being pierced by thousands of arrows, I don't want to experience it again in this life, so I even more It is impossible to forgive him.
Shen Zhongbai didn't say much. He had no energy to say anything else to Gu Qiang like this. He could only look at Gu Qiang in front of him with a tired look.
"Gu Qiang, actually I don't know how to get along with you anymore. What I can do for you is limited to this. If you are still unwilling to stay, what do you want me to do? Woolen cloth?"
"Your Majesty, I don't belong to the palace in the first place, and you don't have to keep me here. If possible, of course I want to live outside with my friends. I don't want to be trapped here. This place is a golden cage for you, and the same is true for all the women in the harem. Since you don’t like them, just to contain their mother’s family, why bother using them to go to the entire harem? Do you live or die?"
From his previous life to this life, Gu Qiang has seen these things thoroughly. To be honest, if Shen Zhongbai had been the emperor from the beginning and devoted all his thoughts to government affairs, he would not have done anything Such a thing, let a lot of women fight constantly behind his back to maintain the superficial peace of the harem, and there is a person with no identity background to suppress those women with prominent family backgrounds, it is Shen Zhongbai who takes Shen Qiangwei received the palace's purpose.
Gu Qiang never understood why Shen Zhongbai had to do this, but now that things have become like this, Gu Qiang herself can no longer use this method to persuade Shen Zhongbai.
"If you want to use this method to convince me now, you might as well get rid of the fact that you are staying with me. I might as well tell you that I will not let you go out no matter what."
"Your Majesty, what can you do if you leave me in the palace? You clearly know that the person in my heart is not you at all. Even if Shen Qianshan does not come back and his whereabouts are unknown, I will still miss him. , the emperor always said that the concubine did not filter out the promises she made back then and kept pestering the emperor. But the emperor, do you still remember? When you were still the prince and I was the eldest lady of the Gu family, didn't you find me annoying? Now Gu Qiang won’t bother you anymore, but why won’t you let Gu Qiang go?”
Gu Qiang's words became more and more exciting, and Shen Zhongbai gradually became more excited. Shen Zhongbai really didn't understand what was the difference between him and Shen Qianshan. If he was a prince before, he was just a prince. But now that he is the emperor, and he is just a prince whose whereabouts are unknown, what qualifications do he have to compare with himself
He is now the king of a country. If he were still alive now, even if the things on the battlefield had not happened before, he would still have a way to make Shen Qianshan disappear completely with a military order.
In Shen Zhongbai's view, what Gu Qiang is thinking about now is just a dead person. For him, he has no chance to compete with him.
Even if Gu Qiang really told herself that she did not want to stay in the palace or be with him, he would not let her out. He would definitely keep her in the palace and would not let her leave. Only you are the best person who can protect Gu Qiang.
