Gu Qiang's attire in the harem has never been too eye-catching, so the maids would often think of him as a maid of which palace he belonged to, but this Princess Qi would never not know where she lived. Talking like this is just to embarrass Gu Qiang.
"Forgive me, Princess Qi. The girl just lost a pair of bracelets, so she just looked for them on this road."
"Bracelets, there are so many things in the palace, what does it matter if you lose a pair of bracelets? Can you really let the servants go to all the trouble to find a bracelet like yours? They are obviously new people who have just entered the palace. , but you don’t understand the rules so well, didn’t your nanny in charge teach you?”
The more she said this, the more Concubine Qi felt that what she was thinking might be true. The person in front of her was probably the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother, and was inexplicably attracted by Shen Zhongbai. Otherwise, she would also She would not be so cowardly in front of him. Gu Qiang didn't have a temper, so he just looked at her quietly. After all, what he had to do today was not to vent his anger on himself.
If she wants to continue to be sarcastic like this, she can just listen to it. Anyway, she won't be the one who suffers in the end.
"Are you deaf? You can't speak or hear? Didn't you answer very smoothly just now? I thought you came from a well-educated family, but don't you think you can't even reply?"
When Gu Qiang heard this, she also clenched her fingertips. To be honest, what Concubine Qi said this time was a bit too unpleasant. Concubine Qi was lucky today. Trivial matters usually make things difficult for her. I am afraid that she has long been unable to bear it. , and started scolding her.
"Replying to your Majesty, the daughter of the common people does come from a small family. I don't know how she offended the Imperial Concubine. Please forgive me."
At this moment, a little maid next to Gu Qiang ran over in a hurry, still holding tightly the bracelet that Gu Qiang had just deliberately thrown on the fork in the road over there.
"Miss, the bracelet has been found. You must pay close attention. This is the emperor..."
The little maid also just saw Concubine Qi in front of her. Seeing such a situation, she quickly shut up. She didn't know whether her words could be said or not. Concubine Qi felt even more unhappy when she saw her like this.
"Just say what you say. What do you mean by saying half of it? Is there anything else that I can't hear?"
Concubine Qi's face was so fierce that it frightened the little maid beside Gu Qiang who was also smart and didn't know how to respond, but she still had the courage to finish her sentence.
"This, this is a gift from the emperor. I hope the young lady can keep it carefully. If anything goes wrong, I can't afford it."
Gu Qiang had been waiting for his words all day long. If this thing was lost, she really couldn't afford it, so she had marked it early to know where it was lost. After all, if she really couldn't find it, Shen Zhongbai I'm afraid that I might think that I have accepted his wishes, which would be bad.
"Does it mean that the concubine still needs to see the things that the emperor gives to the daughter of the people first?"
Gu Qiang's words made it clear that even if she went towards Concubine Qi, she didn't leave any room in her words. Concubine Qi was the one who pushed people first. Even if this matter really came to Shen Zhongbai, she would have her own reasons. , she is showing off her power here now, Gu Qiang is really a little angry, but she still tries to control her tone.
However, when Concubine Qi's eyes fell on the pair of bracelets, Gu Qiang clearly felt that something was wrong with her expression.
"Why do you have this bracelet? Except for people from the royal family, no one else can have this thing."
How could Mrs. Qi not recognize this kind of thing? She had seen this thing since she entered the palace. It was also something she had always wanted. The current Queen Mother had never been a queen, so even she had never owned this thing. That thing was even more important to her. It was just out of reach. Gu Qiang just randomly picked something that Shen Zhongbai gave to her, but she didn't expect it to have such a great significance. Seeing the look on Concubine Qi's face, she secretly thought something bad. It was possible that I really picked this thing up by mistake, but I still managed to calm myself down.
"Can't people who are not members of the royal family own royal items?"
"Of course not. This is something that only queens in the past can possess. It would be a bit unreasonable for you, an unknown person, to hold this in your hands."
Gu Qiang was not prepared to talk to him about whether it was reasonable or not. Since Concubine Qi said that this was what the queen wanted, it seemed that Shen Zhongbai had already made plans to keep him in the palace. I plan to not let this matter go so easily today. I must make the momentum bigger, and it depends on whether this Concubine Qi can help me.
"This is simply impossible. You are obviously..."
Concubine Qi always believed in her heart that the person in front of her was actually the Queen Mother's bastard outside. The reason why she concealed her identity was because this bastard was favored by the dog emperor. The Queen Mother would definitely do such an unethical thing. It was impossible for the news to spread, so this woman had been hidden so tightly.
But she didn't expect that this woman had already held all the Queen's bracelets in her hand. This should not be underestimated. Concubine Qi also knew that she already had evidence. Since the bracelets were already in her hand, she also This proves that if the woman in front of him is really the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother, their incest will naturally become a fact. No one in this world can stop his son from ascending to the throne.
When the little palace maid saw that something was wrong, she quickly turned back to prepare to leave. She immediately went to report what happened to the emperor, but unexpectedly, she was directly stopped by Concubine Qi's people.
"You bitch, what are you going to do now? Tell the truth? Tell you, even if you want to tell the truth, it's already too late."
I don’t know whether she is really too self-reliant or something, but she is so stubborn that she just found the evidence that the Queen Mother had an affair with someone and gave birth to an illegitimate child. She has not considered what happened today at all. In fact, she was right in the first place. It was a trap of hers, but it saved Gu Qiang's trouble. Since he was determined to make things worse, she had to give him this chance. Gu Qiang didn't resist at all, but still pretended to be reluctant. He looked like he was being held down by the person in front of him, but he didn't know whether it was the person holding him down now who would laugh happily later, or whether he would laugh happily later.
"How dare Concubine Qi have the courage to detain my people? Is it because Concubine Qi is so comfortable in her bedroom that she has forgotten her identity?"
Gu Qiang never expected that Shen Zhongbai would come over so soon. After all, wasn't the little maid next to him detained just now and unable to go out to report the news? Could it be that apart from him, there are others around him who are staring at him? Thinking of this, Gu Qiang feels a little unhappy. It seems that there is definitely more than one person staring at him. She foolishly thought that she could be stared at by others. He could make a decision after he was captured, but he didn't expect that Shen Zhongbai arrived in such timely manner that even Concubine Qi was dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, this little girl doesn't know the rules. As an elder in the harem, I naturally need to help you educate her. If you don't want to, you can just take her back."
When Concubine Qi saw Shen Zhongbai, she was still a little timid. After all, she knew very well what kind of iron fist Shen Zhongbai had. Even if she deliberately wanted to drag him down, it didn't mean that she was able to fight with him at this time. When he was facing a confrontation, Concubine Qi was really frightened when she saw his appearance. She didn't want to fall into Shen Zhongbai's hands before the matter was completed.
"I don't need Concubine Qi to help me discipline the people under my command. What's more, her status is not something that Concubine Qi can discipline. Now, Concubine Qi should take care of her own affairs. I heard that recently During this time, your son doesn't seem to be too peaceful. Do you still need me to help you discipline your son? Shen Zhongyan is not young anymore. It's time to go to the fiefdom, but it doesn't mean that he will be free from the constraints of the palace. If he goes out After that, you brought shame to the royal family, and it was also because of your lax discipline. If you have that spare time, you might as well discipline your good son. It is not your turn to make the decision in this harem, right?"
As soon as Shen Zhongbai heard that Gu Qiang was detained by Concubine Qi, he felt angry. Naturally, he didn't have a good attitude towards Concubine Qi. Not to mention, his mother only told him yesterday that Concubine Qi Using the eleventh prince to go to the queen mother to inquire about information, this kind of thing is already intolerable. She actually insisted on making trouble today. Since she happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, I simply refused to give her this face. After the death of her father, she had been so secure in this position that she had forgotten her original identity. Gu Qiang looked at the current situation and found that it was not what she had imagined. What a big difference, for me, no matter who it is, as long as they get angry first today, the situation will definitely be difficult to deal with, which means that I have more opportunities to leave this place.
This matter ended on bad terms, but Gu Qiang knew well that once what happened today reached the ears of the Queen Mother, she would definitely not let herself stay in the harem anymore. No matter what, she would find a way to let herself leave. , but unexpectedly, it was not the Queen Mother who took the lead in attacking, but Concubine Qi.
