No matter what, Gu Qiang was on guard, but she had a vague intuition that this matter might be related to Shen Qiangwei.
Shen Qiangwei has never been in contact with him since she changed her identity. Except for seeing her sitting in a carriage on the road that day, he has never seen her before. After she has experienced so many things, what is in her heart? In fact, it is no longer under his control, so Gu Qiang is actually a little scared now, what exactly is Shen Qiangwei thinking now.
"Little father-in-law, we have been walking for such a long time, haven't we arrived yet?"
Gu Qiang felt a little unsure. After all, after Shen Qiangwei became Shangguan Qiang, she didn't know where she lived. If her intuition was wrong, it was not Shen Qiangwei who called her here. what to do
The little eunuch didn't seem to be in a hurry, "Second Young Master, don't worry. We have already arrived at the palace. You are also familiar with it..."
Although this eunuch looks kind-hearted, after Gu Qiang entered the palace, Gu Qiang always felt that he was strange, and the road became more and more remote, it seemed a bit like going...
Gu Qiang suddenly stopped, not because of anything else, but when he followed the young eunuch, he met Shen Qiangwei head-on.
"Um… "
Gu Qiang suddenly stopped, and the eunuch walking in front turned his head warily, "Second Young Master, why don't you leave?"
"Father, Cao Min, I still want to ask, who summoned Cao Min today?"
"Second Young Master, you have already come here. Why don't you continue to go with our family? After seeing you, won't it be clear?" The person in front of him seemed to have made up his mind. Before Gu Qiang saw the person behind him, , will never reveal a word to him.
Shen Qiangwei also couldn't understand seeing Gu Qiang in this place. After all, Gu Qiang had no relationship with the royal family for a long time, so how could she be summoned
It's been a long time since Shen Zhongbai Ye summoned the second young master of the Gusu family so blatantly, and the direction he's walking now shouldn't be towards Shen Zhongbai's residence, right
Shen Qiangwei did not stay, but returned to her yard along the original route. While walking on the road, she still asked the people around her very carefully, "Is the person who was next to the second young master just now the father-in-law who is next to the Queen Mother?"
Although Shen Qiangwei had no special reaction just now, when she looked back, she suddenly remembered the strange look on Gu Qiang's face just now. When did she get involved with the Queen Mother? Moreover, when she saw herself just now, she seemed to be very shocked. Could it be that she thought she was the one who invited her into the palace
"Yes, it seems that my father-in-law has only been with the Queen Mother in the past few years. I heard that he is very good at doing things, so although he is young, he has a high official position."
The little palace maid knows the situation in the palace relatively well, so she also recognizes the people around the Queen Mother. She knows the little palace maid because she is well-informed. Shen Qiangwei feels familiar because she goes to greet the queen mother every day, and it is inevitable that she will bump into each other when she comes in and out. , so there is some impression.
The more Shen Qiangwei thought about it, the more something was wrong. Since she was a close person to the Queen Mother, and she was related to Gu Qiang, could it be...
Shen Qiangwei and Gu Qiang do not have such a good relationship, but Shen Qiangwei has been in contact with the mysterious person for so long. Now her only hope is considered to be Gu Qiang. She has no way to think about what would happen if this At that time, if something happened to Gu Qiang, who could she rely on, so after thinking for a long time, she sent someone to deliver the letter.
Shen Qiangwei's position in the palace is extremely embarrassing. Almost every move she makes is watched by people, so even if she sends something outside, it is quite troublesome. But if she doesn't hurry up and send the thing out, Gu Qiang may have problems. Although the Queen Mother is usually kind and kind, it doesn't mean that she is really as soft-hearted as she appears.
Shen Qianshan had just finished his morning court. If he had not been discussing matters in the study, he would have been heading towards the palace gate by now. Shen Qiangwei estimated the time, then quickly packed up and prepared to go out to find Shen Qianshan.
Shen Qiangwei had no time to consider whether this matter would arouse Shen Zhongbai's attention, but now, it was not the time for her to hesitate. If it was the Queen Mother who really wanted to see Gu Qiang, this would definitely not be a good thing. Although the Queen Mother said it on the surface He may seem gentle and approachable, but when he really gets down to it, no one can stop him.
Shen Qiangwei actually didn't know this at first. After all, she went to greet the Queen Mother every day, and he always greeted her with a smile. However, since the last birthday party around her, two concubines with lower status than herself mocked her. Only when she made the Queen Mother dissatisfied with her own words did Shen Qiangwei truly feel that this Queen Mother was actually the most cruel one.
Because after the banquet that day, I guess I haven’t seen those two people again.
Shen Zhongbai never paid attention to these things, but to be able to do this and get rid of two people under his nose without knowing it, no one would be able to do it if the Queen Mother had an accident.
Shen Qianshan really didn't know what happened, but he did feel a little uneasy. However, Shen Zhongbai didn't know what happened today. He suddenly wanted to stay with some ministers to discuss matters, so he had no choice but to stay.
"I think that the hunting ground is already sufficient and there is no need to continue repairing it." Shen Qianshan really couldn't stand Shen Zhongbai's extravagance and waste. Instead of having money to repair the hunting ground, it would be better to do something else.
What's more, Shen Zhongbai is actually not the kind of person who is good at riding and shooting. From the past, Shen Zhongbai's riding and shooting has lagged behind his brothers. However, the civil and military officials did not dare to defeat him, and this paddock became increasingly boring. Well, if Shen Zhongbai hadn't suddenly mentioned this matter today, I might have forgotten that there was such a place.
"What the Ninth Prince said makes sense, but after all, it is about the royal family's reputation, so it would be better to repair it on time."
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry can be considered to be on Shen Zhongbai's side, so no matter what Shen Zhongbai says, he will echo a few words, and once he starts to repair the hunting ground, he must allocate money to the Ministry of Industry. At that time, he can certainly make a profit. It's so full that even when I speak now, my mouth can hardly close.
Shen Qianshan also knew that what he said was in vain. If Shen Zhongbai really wanted to do something, there was no need to listen to the advice of these ministers. As for the matters discussed in the study, it was just that. It's just a formality. He is also taking this opportunity to observe the people around him. Who is worthy of his use? Anyone can only be used as a shield or a victim when the incident comes to light.
I don't know if it was because there were so many people in the study and there was no window open. Shen Qianshan was really flustered and his chest was a little tight. But in this situation, no one had the intention to end the matter, and he really couldn't leave. I can only sit aside and listen to their discussion.
In order to relax himself a little, he drank tea cup after cup, but it had no effect at all. The panic in his heart still did not ease.
"Eunuch, has the Ninth Prince left the palace?"
When Shen Qiangwei hurried to the main hall, the main hall was already empty. She was really anxious, so he spoke without hesitation and caught the laughter and conversation at the entrance of the main hall. She should not have asked blatantly. He said this, but when he is so anxious now, how can he care about this
The young eunuch had just entered the palace. He only knew that the person in front of him was a noble concubine. He didn't know that there were so many details in the harem, so he didn't pay too much attention. He pointed directly to Shen Zhongbai's study and said, "The Ninth Prince is here." I’m discussing something with the Emperor and the ministers in the study. Is there anything urgent, Madam?”
What Shen Qiangwei feared the most happened. Shen Qianshan was left in the study. She had no way to tell him that Gu Qiang had been taken away by the Queen Mother's people. But if it took too long, she would still say What might happen
But she had no other choice but to wait at the door.
Shen Qiangwei anxiously walked around twice outside, but it was of no use. She couldn't rush in now. If nothing happened, how could Shen Zhongbai spare herself
The young father-in-law took Gu Qiang for a while, and Gu Qiang's eyes became clearer and clearer. She was indeed very familiar with this section of the road. If she continued walking from here, she could only go to the place where the Queen Mother lived. When I temporarily stayed in the palace, I walked this road countless times, so of course I was very familiar with it.
But Gu Qiang really doesn't know what the relationship between her current status and the Queen Mother is. The only relationship between Gu Suran and the Queen Mother is probably that she almost became the Queen Mother's son-in-law, right
But in Gu Qiang's impression, the Queen Mother was a very kind person. If she asked him to come there, there shouldn't be any danger, right? Gu Qiang started to feel a little panicked as she walked in that direction, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she could only follow.
Sure enough, within a few steps, they arrived at the Queen Mother's palace. The Queen Mother had already prepared a table of meals and was sitting in front of the table waiting for her.
"Caomin girl Su Ran, please see the Queen Mother."
Gu Qiang knew that her identity was different from before. Under this mask, the Queen Mother should not be able to see her identity. With Gu Suran's identity, she could not bring any trouble to Gu Suran. Although Just because he was injured now and still assumed the identity of Liu Rongchen didn't mean that his actions would not cause him trouble.
