Shen Meng's eyes were red, and she didn't know whether to cry or to be angry.
The woman who looked after the door came up, picked up the crumbs of the teacup at Shen Meng's feet, and said to her: "Girl, don't take this matter to heart. That Miss Gu does whatever she wants just because she is the princess, and doesn't let others go." In our eyes, there is no need for us to be angry with such a woman."
Shen Meng shook his head and said in a slow voice: "She is not as simple as I thought. I thought she must know my secret, but how did she know it? Even her brother obviously doesn't know."
When the woman heard what Shen Meng said, her expression changed, and then she asked, "What do you mean, girl? The princess knows about your thing... How is it possible?"
Shen Meng just felt that her head seemed to hurt a little. She could accept this woman's sudden appearance and some strange words she said, but she couldn't accept that thing. Just like what she said, once this thing was spread If you go out, not only will you be hurt, but everyone in the Shen family will also be involved.
At the inn, Shen Qianshan was sitting in Gu Qiang's room. She had been out for a long time. He didn't know what she was going out for, but he still didn't follow her.
Gu Qiang has never been the kind of woman who likes to be controlled. If she knew that he was trying to control her, she would definitely be angry.
Gu Qiang opened the door and saw that Shen Qianshan had dried the tea and said to her with a smile, "You're back?"
Of course I'm back, what else could I do? Gu Qiang did not expect that Shen Meng looked soft and weak, but had a very strong character, but this woman had no idea how dangerous she was now. If she didn't handle it well, Gu Huaian might not be able to escape this disaster. .
But she didn't cooperate. Since this was the case, Gu Qiang needed to find a breakthrough somewhere else, and that was Li Cangsi.
In the letter from the Queen to herself, Shen Meng's identity was surprising. She was the daughter of the previous emperor's wet nurse, and she actually still held an important posthumous photo in her hand. The contents of the photo made Gu Qiang feel a little frightened just thinking about it. If it were true, the world would be a different story.
The queen said that Li Cangsi would catch Shen Meng, then find the photo, and give it to Shen Zhongbai, which would lead to Gu Huai'an's death. If this was the case, either the photo would be destroyed or Li Cangsi would be killed. Both of these points are fine for the Cangsi family to pull down. Although the photos seem to be very important now that she thinks about it, it doesn't matter. She doesn't care about the world, she just cares about her brother being alive.
Seeing Gu Qiang in a daze, Shen Qianshan stood up and said, "Is there something wrong with you?"
Gu Qiang turned to meet Shen Qianshan's eyes and suddenly had an idea.
"Ninth Prince, how about being an official in Hongzhou Prefecture?" Gu Qiang sat in front of Shen Qianshan and asked expectantly.
She is now the princess, and there is nothing wrong with caring about people's sentiments. However, this Hongzhou is on the edge of the capital. The place is not big, the public security is good, and the people's lives can be regarded as abundant and well-fed. This seems to indirectly prove that in fact, Hongzhou's The prefect has fulfilled his responsibility.
"I don't know." Shen Qianshan replied calmly.
"If we can find out the corruption records of the Hongzhou magistrate, we will definitely be able to contain Li Cangsi." Gu Qiang said to himself.
Li Cangsi? Isn't that the son of the magistrate of Hongzhou? Gu Qiang already knows so much, what else does she know
"If you want to know, I will order someone to investigate. You have been out for a long time this time, but you haven't had time to rest yet. How about taking a good rest first and then dealing with these things?" Shen Qianshan He said, he really knew that Gu Qiang was very capable, and no matter how powerful a woman was, she couldn't not cherish her at all, right
But Gu Qiang shook her head firmly: "I want to see my brother."
Shen Qianshan knew that this girl didn't care about her body at all, and even gave him a feeling that she didn't have enough time. But she didn't want to tell her why. It was true that Shen Qianshan really wanted to know. , but there are still some things where he naturally has to respect her choice.
Shen Qianshan waved his hand, and Gu Suliang walked in and said to Gu Qiang, "Come with me."
Late at night, at the inn next to Shen Meng's house, Gu Qiang finally met Gu Huaian as he wished. He walked around restlessly in the room. The candlelight in the room flickered, stretching his figure very long and swaying. Unsure, it seems to be very similar to his mood at this time.
When he turned around and saw Gu Qiang, Gu Huaian sighed heavily. This was his own business. What he was most afraid of was getting Gu Qiang involved, but he didn't expect that she would end up getting involved.
"Why did you come here?" Gu Huaian sat down and asked.
"Brother, do you still remember what Qian'er said to you?" Gu Qiang had a cold face and wanted to punch Gu Huaian. Why didn't this man listen to her at all
Of course Gu Huaian remembered it, but the situation this time was different. He had to appear, and this was only his own business, and Gu Qiang must not interfere.
"Of course I remember, but the situation this time is very different. Qian'er, you should go back. Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is not much better, at least there is no danger. You really can't do it here." As he spoke, Gu Huaian wanted to come up and pull her away, but Gu Qiang immediately threw him aside. There was even a tremor in his voice. He had no idea how serious his actions were. That was life. Gu Qiang always wanted to save his life, but what about him? Do you take your own life so lightly
Isn't this going too far? Gu Qiang felt like there was a ball of anger in his heart, but he couldn't vent it out. He must have done something, right
"I have told my brother not to leave Beijing before, why can't he listen to me just once?" Gu Qiang said.
Before Gu Huaian said anything, he saw Shen Qianshan walking in from the door. Although it was completely dark, he didn't care at all.
Seeing Shen Qianshan coming, Gu Huaian quickly pushed Gu Qiang into his arms and said to him: "Your Highness, take my sister-in-law back, she is in danger here."
Shen Qianshan lowered his head, smiled at Gu Qiang, and then said: "Since she is here, you have to believe in her. No matter what it is, you have to believe in us. There is no need to carry it alone." .”
It seems that Shen Qianshan is on Gu Qiang's side this time? Gu Huaian smiled helplessly. In fact, he wanted to be his sister's barrier in the last and most difficult time, but now it seems that it is obviously impossible.
"Does this incident have anything to do with Chen Meng?" Gu Qiang asked.
Gu Huaian opened his mouth, but did not give a reasonable explanation. He seemed to shake his head, but Gu Qiang felt that something was wrong, so he continued to ask: "Is there any difference between Shen Meng and ordinary women?"
Gu Huaian still didn't say anything.
Does he not believe Gu Qiang? Gu Qiang pondered for a moment, then said with a hint of guidance: "I am the person you trust most in this world. Am I not?"
The atmosphere between the two people even reached a state of tension, making people feel as if they could quarrel at any time. Shen Qianshan reached out and took Gu Qiang's hand, and then pressed her on the chair. His voice was very calm, and he spoke to Gu Qianshan. Qiang said: "Qian'er, calm down. Being so irritable won't solve the problem."
What doesn't she know? How could she not know? What she can't control is that Gu Huaian has no idea how many people are working silently for his safety, and even he doesn't know... In a world without him, everything is so desolate, and there is no one else The person is Gu Qiang’s relative.
"It's not Miss Shen's business, but I am very worried about Miss Shen. Now that you are here, how about the two of us go and see Miss Shen?" Gu Huaian said.
Gu Qiang narrowed her eyes and said nothing more. She just said to him, "Let's go tomorrow."
After saying that, he got up and returned to his inn. Shen Meng's matter shouldn't matter for a while. After all, the girl didn't believe Gu Qiang. Fortunately, Gu Qiang didn't believe her either. As long as she controlled Gu Huaian, Shen Meng She didn't want to get involved at all.
Early the next morning, Gu Qiang was washing up in her room. Gu Suliang walked in, put her change of clothes on the table, and said, "Do you want to see Mr. Gu?"
Gu Qiang wiped her face with a towel, then leaned on the chair and sighed heavily. The situation was a bit awkward at this time. Does Gu Huaian know Shen Meng's true identity? Could it be that the secret that Shen Meng carried was meant to be revealed? No matter what, going to stop Gu Huaian should be the first thing he has to do, right
Shen Qianshan wanted to go back to Beijing to check the accounts of Hongzhou Prefecture over the years, and sent a carriage to take Gu Qiang to the inn where Gu Huai'an was staying.
He stood at the door and watched Gu Qiang's carriage slowly drive away. He felt uncomfortable in his heart. He always felt that this matter was important, but he could not find the link that made him feel this way.
After rolling up the car window, Gu Qiang saw Gu Huaian's hurried back. With a flash of her eyes, she knew that this matter was not as simple as she thought.
"Park the car at the corner." Gu Qiang said to the coachman. The coachman stopped in response. Gusu Liang said: "Girl, we have stayed here for a long time. If we don't go back, the Prime Minister and Mr. Ye will probably feel sad in their hearts." If it’s not balanced, there will definitely be something bad done to you behind your back, are you sure you won’t go back?”
Gu Qiang has been staying in Hongzhou for too long these days. The Prime Minister's Mansion has always been on strict guard against her. Gusu Liang has seen that there is a man like Prime Minister Gu who wants his daughter to be ordinary. Forget it, just find someone to marry.
However, Gu Qiang still shook her head firmly and said to Gu Su Liang: "Brother must be hiding something from me. He has blocked me time and time again. Maybe it really has something to do with Shen Meng. I will definitely go there today." Looking for Chen Meng, but Chen Meng..."
That was an unknown woman. Although a good relationship is indeed important, and if you have feelings, you are destined to lend a helping hand, but Gu Huaian cannot let go of this muddy water, or his life may be involved.
