Shen Zhongbai originally wanted to ask Shen Qiangwei to help him solve this matter quickly, but he did not expect that although the matter was solved, he still went back filled with anger.
"If that's the case, just take a good rest here. I'll come back to you after your mood stabilizes."
"Your Majesty."
Shen Zhongbai felt frustrated at Shen Qiangwei's side. He was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only return to his study. Chu Junyou was concentrating on playing with the paperweight in Shen Zhongbai's study. When he came in so suddenly, I was so scared that I almost couldn't hold it. If this thing fell to the ground, my head would probably fall off with it.
"What's wrong? So angry?"
"It's not... forget it." In front of his good friends, he said that he had just been embarrassed. He really couldn't open his mouth. There was one thing Chu Junyou didn't hold back. What if he said something? Words add fuel to the fire, and the fire in your heart cannot be extinguished.
"Okay, okay, since you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I'm not interested in knowing the secrets of you and your concubine in the boudoir. I just want to remind you of one thing. You must not I forgot how much effort you put into getting rid of Gu Linjiang before. Are you sure you really want to pull up Shangguan Hong with your own hands? "
In fact, Chu Junyou has always been very unfavorable about this matter. Although Shangguanhong does not have as deep-rooted status as Gu Linjiang, and he should not be able to match Gu Linjiang's brains, his ambition is not smaller than Gu Linjiang's. What if it is true? If there were any loopholes in it, wouldn't it be bad if he caught it by playing some clever trick
"I've been prepared for this a long time ago. Even if Shangguanhong really wants to imitate Gu Linjiang, he doesn't have the brains to do this. I've been prepared for this a long time ago. It shouldn't be anything big. question."
Shen Zhongbai also suffered from his own pride before. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get away with Gu Huai'an so easily. Shangguan Hong was different from them all, and he had not yet reached the point where he wanted to take it seriously.
Shen Zhongbai knew about Chu Tiankuo's return to the capital through his subordinates. Because he did not hide from anyone when he came back, it was not particularly difficult for Shen Zhongbai to get the news, but...
Shen Zhongbai thought that he was a man who gained wisdom through every experience. The fact that there was someone arranged by him in the palace always made him worried. In any case, only after getting rid of him could Tianji Pavilion be completely disbanded. Because of this, Shen Zhongbai had already started to prepare for this matter as soon as he learned the news that Chu Tiankuo had returned to the capital. However, if Chu Junyou knew about this matter, he would definitely stop it. Yes, Shen Zhongbai simply closed his eyes and his heart skipped a beat, and did not even mention the fact that his brother had returned in front of Chu Junyou.
Chu Junyou has not left the palace for such a long time, so of course he will not know the news from the outside. However, Shen Zhongbai still pays more attention to it. Even the little eunuch who has been following Chu Junyou is on strict guard. No information was revealed at all.
Gu Qiang no longer cares about what happened before. After all, Lou Ziqi has returned to Leping County now. Judging from the current situation, if he still retains a trace of sanity, he should reorganize his team. Don't let anything happen that shouldn't happen again. He probably won't come to Beijing again in a short time. So even if the person who rescued Lou Ziqi was Chu Tiankuo at that time, it can only prove that he did know those agencies and It cannot be proven that he had any other purpose.
Gu Qiang completely sealed up the previous incident. Except for her brother, no one knew that she had been to that house. Even if her brother went with her, he didn't know what he was going to do.
As before, Chu Tiankuo sat in the Lingyin Pavilion and drank in a swaggering manner, but Shen Qianshan always felt that there was something fishy about this matter. It was not that he was doubting anyone, but that this time, Chu Tiankuo was so It was hard to say whether returning to the capital blatantly would attract Shen Zhongbai's attention, so he was still a little unsure.
"Mr. Chu, if you come back like this this time, won't you have any other problems?" Shen Qianshan didn't mince words and asked his questions directly. If he came back for his younger brother, If so, why did it take so long to come back
Chu Tiankuo had already expected that Shen Qianshan would have such doubts. Indeed, he was not prepared for anything this time, and even appeared alone in this place. Shen Zhongbai should be targeting him soon. Shen Zhongbai is a A cautious and suspicious person will still kill himself to silence himself if he cannot find a reason to believe that there are indeed no clues coming out of the palace.
But similarly, Shen Zhongbai will no longer doubt Chu Junyou.
In fact, Chu Tiankuo has been back to this place for some time, but he has never revealed his identity. He also saw Chu Junyou wandering on the street. At that time, he really didn't know where he should go. Say something to him.
The news in the palace that Zhui Feng got before was actually obtained by himself. However, this time he did not applaud his subordinates, but took action himself. At that time, he knew that Shen Zhongbai had actually begun to suspect Chu Chu. You are quiet.
"As for this matter, we can only take it one step at a time. Anyway, nothing has come to our door yet. Perhaps it is because Shen Zhongbai feels that I am already a useless person, so he is not ready to attack me at all. Bar."
Of course Shen Qianshan would not believe what Chu Tiankuo said. He would never believe that a person like Shen Zhongbai would let anyone go on certain matters. With his suspicious character, he would definitely All the people who could threaten him were dealt with cleanly. If it weren't for his character, he might have become a very good emperor, and he would do his best to assist him in the future, but unfortunately, he was really not a suitable person. A person who is an emperor.
"Even if it's like this, you can't let your guard down. You still have to be more careful during this period."
Chu Tiankuo nodded after listening to the words of the person in front of him, "By the way, where is Gu Qiang? I have something to tell her."
Shen Qianshan pointed to the counter behind him, where Gu Qiang was squatting underneath to organize the wine cabinet. Although he didn't know what Chu Tiankuo had to say to him alone, he didn't ask any more questions.
Gu Qiang really didn't understand that if Chu Tiankuo had anything to say, he had to tell her face to face. Everyone was open and honest now. Even if it was true, there was no need to hide it from everyone, right? Although she was a little confused, she still followed him into the backyard. When there was no one around, the person walking in front stopped.
"I'm actually quite grateful to you."
Chu Tiankuo said such a sentence in a confused manner, and Gu Qiang actually didn't understand it at all, but looking at him now, he probably wanted to thank him for not telling him about that matter before. .
"There's nothing to be grateful for. I'm just afraid that if something really happens, I won't be able to explain Ah Liang's side easily. And it's been proved later that it's not meant to harm us, so these things are even more serious. There's nothing more to say." Gu Qiang felt that this matter didn't really matter to her. After all, since the person in front of her was A Liang's friend, he should be friends with everyone. There is no need to make a fuss about the trivial matters of planting.
"But I think I should explain this matter to you." Chu Tiankuo thought for a long time, but still felt that this matter was related to the person in front of him after all, and it was fair to tell him, "Actually, I promised You asked a friend of mine to create an opportunity for him to kill Lou Ziqi with his own hands. If he is trapped there by you, that friend of mine probably won’t be able to get in. "
"Which friend? Do you think Lou Ziqi really has so many enemies?" The point of Gu Qiang's understanding was obviously a little wrong. It was obvious that she was not angry because of this matter, but seemed to have discovered it. Whatever he didn't know before, it was indeed like this. No matter who looked at him, Lou Ziqi was a very upright person, but who could have imagined that things would develop to what they are today
"It's okay. Since you don't take it to heart, I don't have to think about it all the time. It's quite relaxing." Chu Tiankuo didn't know what happened to him. Since that day on the street After meeting Gu Qiang and knowing that she already knew about his rescue of Lou Ziqi, he felt like there was always a stone falling in his heart, but now it is finally better. Gu Qiang didn't seem to feel that what he had done was wrong. He didn't say anything about the terrible things.
Seeing the two people walking back talking and laughing, Shen Qianshan was indeed curious and hurried over, "So what did you two talk about?"
Gu Qiang looked like the kind of person who held grudges very much. Even now, she was still thinking about what Shen Qianshan didn't tell him. The boy's smile immediately stopped, "Why should I tell you? I won't tell you. "
Only now did Shen Qianshan suddenly realize that he had shot himself in the foot.
