Therefore, you must strictly observe all kinds of etiquette.
When the Queen Mother saw Gu Qiang, she actually had a smile on her face, "The Ai family wants to summon the second young master of the Gusu family. It's not that easy now. I wonder if there will be any other disturbances in the palace because of today's events. .”
Gu Qiang didn't know what happened today. The person in front of him now was still the gentle and kind-hearted person before, but the words she said and the tone in which she spoke really made Gu Qiang feel that something was wrong.
Listening to what the Queen Mother said, Gu Qiang suddenly felt a little creepy behind her.
There was only one dining table in the entire hall. It seemed like it was just a living room. Perhaps it was because the Queen Mother lived in a remote place and the courtyard was deserted.
The only person in the room was the little eunuch who had brought him here just now, and the atmosphere was indeed a bit awkward.
"The Ai family also felt that the rumored second son of the Gusu family was a very capable young man. He turned out to be a gentle and amiable person." The Queen Mother looked at the person in front of her and continued to speak.
"So, you are still too thin. Is it because you have been sick before? So you are not in good health, but you look like a girl."
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but Gu Qiang happened to be hooking up with the Queen Mother at this time.
"It's strange. You and your brother don't seem to look alike."
Gu Qiang was already nervous after the Queen Mother said that she looked like a woman, but she just said this right after.
"Stop standing, sit down quickly."
Gu Qiang sat down uncomfortably. She felt completely different from having dinner with the Queen Mother before. Although she could still remain calm on the surface, her heart was already tense and uncomfortable.
"No wonder he grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. He is neat, gentle and humble. He is really liked by the Ai family."
The Queen Mother's eyes seemed to be sincere, and people outside felt that she liked her very much, but Gu Qiang didn't think so.
"The grassroots people are scared. I wonder why the Queen Mother called the grassroots people to come here."
Gu Qiang always felt as if she had been seen through in front of the Queen Mother, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
"Actually, there's nothing special. It's just that the second young master of the Gusu family seems to be very close to the Ninth Prince, and Master Gu."
The Queen Mother said this thoughtfully, which made Gu Qiang even more nervous.
"What does the Queen Mother mean by this? Cao Min is indeed of average status, but it is indeed a bit rare to have a group of like-minded friends. Could it be that the Queen Mother feels that Cao Min's status is not worthy of the Ninth Prince and Master Gu? ?”
Gu Qiang desperately wanted to change the topic elsewhere, but it seemed difficult to leave Shen Qianshan and Gu Huaian no matter what.
"The Ai family doesn't mean this. It's a good thing to have friends. But when we talk about the Ninth Prince and Mr. Gu, we have to remember that Mr. Gu also has a younger sister. If the Ai family remembers correctly If so, then the eldest lady of the Gu family is still the ninth prince’s concubine, right?”
"How can Cao Min compare with others? Cao Min is from the Gusu family, so through the light of his brother, he can get to know the Ninth Prince and Master Gu."
"Oh, look at what the Ai family is saying. This food is almost cold. Come sit down and eat. This is all carefully prepared by the Ai family."
Gu Qiang had never eaten in the Queen Mother's palace before, but she had never had such rich dishes.
The Queen Mother is not a person who pays much attention to these things, and meat dishes are not often served on the dining table. Today, it was really rare, and it made Gu Qiang feel that it was abnormal.
"It's really a pity. If Si Yin hadn't been willful, maybe you would be Si Yin's consort now, and we would be a family."
The Queen Mother actually served Gu Qiang herself. Everyone in the palace was very cautious, so even the chopsticks were made of silver. However, there was still a difference in the status of Gu Qiang and the Queen Mother after all.
In the past, when Gu Qiang and the Queen Mother had meals together, she would often eat the dishes served by the Queen Mother. But at that time, the Queen Mother did it to reassure herself, but what about this time
Gu Qiang had already started to feel something was wrong the moment she walked in. Although the Queen Mother's chopsticks had never turned black, Gu Qiang was still very cautious.
Because she and her brother had come into contact with some medical skills, Gu Qiang would also carry silver needles with her so that they would not be found when entering the palace. Gu Qiang did not think that she would feel this way inexplicably, so she still took some precautions. , secretly took out the silver needle from his sleeve.
as expected…
Gu Qiang didn't want to cause more trouble, but today, it was obvious that the Queen Mother was here for him. Thinking about what the Queen Mother said just now, it was already obvious what she wanted to say.
Gu Qiang picked up the chopsticks and put them down again.
The Queen Mother also felt a little strange when she saw Gu Qiang put down her chopsticks.
"What's wrong? Is the food not delicious?"
"No, the royal chefs in the palace are all top-notch." Gu Qiang recalled what the Queen Mother had just said, and the strange feeling in her heart became more and more obvious. When the Queen Mother sent her out of the palace, she had promised that she would definitely She is not approaching Shen Zhongbai anymore. Has the Queen Mother already discovered her identity
But there doesn't seem to be any dispute between himself and Shen Zhongbai, right
"It seems that you understand in your heart what the Ai family meant by calling you here today."
When the Queen Mother saw Gu Qiang not moving her chopsticks and not saying anything, she knew that she still underestimated her. Even if she had someone change the chopsticks in advance, she still noticed it. If she didn't get rid of it earlier, sooner or later, she would be It will become an object that threatens Shen Zhongbai.
"What do you mean, Queen Mother? Could it be that my Gusu family has done something to disgrace the royal family?"
Gu Qiang knew that the Queen Mother probably already knew her identity, but...
"The Gusu family doesn't have it, but the eldest daughter of the Gu family should have died a long time ago. The Ai family sent you out of the palace before. They thought you would leave completely, but the Ninth Prince happened to be back again."
The Queen Mother simply explained everything clearly.
"Shen Qianshan is back. I'm afraid it won't be long before you can regain your identity. But you, I'm afraid, won't have this opportunity."
The Queen Mother clearly remembered that both Shen Qianshan and Shen Zhongbai had done many things for this woman that were embarrassing to her, so no matter what the relationship between Shen Qianshan and Shen Zhongbai was, she could not let her This woman has become his son's weakness and cannot be a threat to him.
"The Queen Mother, the common people were planning to live with this identity forever, so there is no need for the Queen Mother to worry."
"But if someone finds out about this matter, it will be exposed sooner or later. The Ai family cannot take risks, so no matter what, Gu Qiang must be dead, and really dead."
After listening to what the Queen Mother said, Gu Qiang became defensive. She clenched the silver needle in her hand tightly. Looking at the two people in front of her, she also had murderous intentions. However, when she came in just now, she already knew that the Queen Mother The eunuch next to him should have some skills, and he may not be his opponent.
"Ai Jia hopes you can understand. After all, loving Jia only cares about his son. No matter what, I hope you can understand."
As the Queen Mother said this, she waved her hand to the person next to her, gesturing for him to take action.
"I'll make him move more quickly. If you don't struggle, there won't be any pain."
The Queen Mother was not prepared to let Gu Qiang leave this place alive, so she did not leave any bottom line in her words. Since she had already spoken to this point, if she let Gu Qiang leave, she would be the unlucky one.
Fortunately, Gu Qiang was on guard, but after all, she didn't have the upper hand in strength, so there was no way she could hit the target with one blow. However, Gu Qiang still tried her best and stuck the silver needle in her hand into the little eunuch's chest. The neck, however, was not pierced accurately, and it did not hit any acupoints, so it was of no use at all, except to annoy the opponent.
However, the silver needle was indeed very thin. Although the little eunuch was in pain, it did not affect his accuracy. He rushed towards the direction of Gu Qiang. Although he was an eunuch, he was still a man after all. Gu Qiang was not as strong as him at all.
Gu Qiang, with quick eyes and quick hands, smashed the cup in his hand at the corner of the table. The moment the little eunuch rushed towards him, he stabbed it hard, but... what's the use
When Gu Qiang entered the palace, all the weapons had been taken away. The broken porcelain pieces were not as sharp as daggers, but they could only cause pain to the little eunuch in front of him, and then put more force on Gu Qiang's body.
"Since you don't like a way to die peacefully, don't blame Aijia."
Shen Qiangwei was walking around outside the study, not knowing what to do. She also knew in her heart that if she continued to delay, something unpredictable would probably happen.
Gu Qiang and the others are Shen Qiangwei's last hope for revenge. No matter what, Shen Qiangwei doesn't want to give up.
Shen Qianshan was sitting in the study, and his feeling of panic became more and more intense. Shen Zhongbai and the others were also discussing matters about the hunting ground anyway. They had already decided to repair the hunting ground anyway. There was no need for him to listen to these ministers finalizing the repairs. Details, simply go out and get some fresh air.
It was difficult for Shen Qiangwei to describe her reaction in her heart when she saw Shen Qianshan walking out of the study alone. However, her body's reaction was much faster than her brain. As soon as she saw Shen Qianshan, she rushed over.
Shen Qianshan originally felt depressed, always feeling like there was something pressing in his heart.
So he was distracted, and Shen Qiangwei suddenly jumped out from the side, which also startled him.
