"Were they the Ninth Prince and Mr. Gusu just now? They seem to have a really good relationship."
"Isn't that true? People outside have been spreading rumors that the Ninth Prince has been interested in men since he lost the Ninth Princess. Especially the Second Young Master from Gusu."
"Is there such a thing? I thought that the Ninth Prince was really passionate about the princess."
"There is no such thing as a deep love, it will fade away as time goes by."
The two of them stood in a position where they could clearly hear the words of the people below. Gu Qiang also looked at Gu Huaian next to him with some resentment, his eyes full of contempt.
"Don't talk nonsense. If the Ninth Prince hears it, he might kill you just to keep silent."
The banquet outside was over, and everyone in the hall had their own agenda. Everyone had their own ideas, but they didn't know what to do.
The meaning of what Shen Zhongbai said was very clear. Logically speaking, he should have wanted to attack Shen Qianshan Wu.
Even if the servants around them don't understand, it doesn't mean that the officials can still pretend that nothing happened.
Fortunately, Shen Qianshan and Gu Qiang entered the palace this time to bring Gu Su Liang out, and they had no intention of causing trouble. Fortunately, both of them could endure it and no one said anything. It didn't disturb the people below.
Gu Qiang kept staring at the people around him, but Shen Qianshan looked at Gu Qiang with a playful expression.
"Is it possible that the Second Young Master of Gusu is really interested in me?"
"Daydreaming." Gu Qiang glanced at the people around her, "If it weren't for saving Gu Su Liang, I wouldn't want to enter the palace with you."
On the one hand, he didn't want to see Shen Zhongbai, but more importantly, there were too many people in the palace that he didn't want to see.
"Do you not like me anymore, or do you not like entering the palace?"
Shen Qianshan didn't understand what Gu Qiang meant. For such a long time, he didn't dare to ask, for fear that Gu Qiang would tell some answers he didn't want to hear.
"This is not the time to talk about this." Gu Qiang didn't know how she should answer this question. She was busy looking around for anyone suspicious. Shen Qianshan was lucky because he was watching her all the time. .
"You don't need to tell me, what exactly are you thinking?"
Shen Qianshan no longer cared about staring at the people below, but Gu Qiang did not want to be distracted at this time. He stared at Shen Qiangwei below, which made the people around him a little dissatisfied.
Shen Qianshan held Gu Qiang's wrist tightly, his eyes full of thoughtfulness. It took him a long time to return to normal, and he continued to stare at Shen Qiangwei below, but the situation was not as his men said.
There was almost no one suspicious around Jian Qiangjian. Everyone followed her around like ordinary palace maids and eunuchs, and it was impossible to tell that anyone was deliberately staring at her.
"I don't seem to have seen Ah Liang. Is there something wrong?"
The situation in the palace is changing rapidly. Even if they come in now, they are likely to see a completely different situation from the intelligence. Gu Qiang has long been used to these things.
Just when Gu Qiang was about to give up and wanted to open Shen Qianshan's hand, he stepped on the wrong foot. His center of gravity was unstable and he was about to slide down the palace wall. Fortunately, the people around him reacted quickly enough and caught him in time. Unfortunately for him, it was of no use. The height of the palace wall was really inconvenient for him to perform Qing Gong, so the two of them fell to the ground together.
"Ouch, what is this?"
A high-pitched voice beside him suddenly screamed, startling the two people who had just landed.
Shen Qianshan was afraid that Gu Qiang's injuries had not fully recovered, so he put himself under the ground the moment he fell. Gu Qiang was a little embarrassed when he saw this situation, and quickly patted the dust on his hands and stood up.
"Father-in-law."
"Hey Mr. Gusu, why don't you help the prince?"
The two of them did not show up at the banquet for a long time, so Shen Zhongbai sent someone to look for them. The father-in-law in front of him also asked the palace maids and eunuchs all the way before he knew that he was coming in this direction. However, he didn't expect that when they met, he turned out to be Such a scene.
"What are you two doing..."
The eunuch also felt that this scene was a bit unsightly. It was indeed a bit unbearable to see two men hugging each other in broad daylight.
"The Emperor and all the adults are waiting, you two should hurry up."
After all, he was just a servant, and he didn't dare to speak harshly. But the words he said still made Shen Qianshan frown. This matter has not been resolved yet, and Gusu Liang has not been found yet. There was such a big mess.
"Wait a minute, did you just mean that everyone is here except the two of us?" Shen Qianshan was able to grasp the key points of this matter and immediately noticed something was wrong. , if the two of them are already here, doesn't it mean that Gusu Liang has arrived
No wonder I didn't see him just now. It turned out that he received the news in a timely manner.
Shen Qianshan couldn't sit with the two of them. Gu Qiang walked towards Gu Suliang with a smile on his face. Before he could sit down, he stepped on him hard with his heel.
"Where have you been these past two days?"
Gu Qiang didn't forget to scold him after stepping on him, "You haven't shown up for so many days. Could it be that you went to some girl's house?"
Gusu Liang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but unfortunately, Gu Qiang's guess was really close.
At the banquet, Shen Zhongbai didn't say a few words. Everyone present could see that Shen Zhongbai's current condition is not very good. He is obviously only in his early twenties, but he looks much older. Gu Qiang I was quite aware of it, probably because the medicine I used before was too strong.
It seems that Shen Zhongbai has not fully recovered until now.
Even if Chu Junyou gave him the prescription that he had gone through so much trouble to find, it might not be able to restore his body to its original state.
The banquet ended hastily, as if it was just a formality. Gu Qiang and Shen Qianshan did not let Gusu Liang go, and took him back without caring about any of his objections.
It was already night, and even the top people in the palace had retired, but Shen Qiangwei still didn't sleep.
She gently opened the small box beside the bed. This was something Gusu Liang had given her before the banquet today. Although there were no outsiders around her at that time, she was afraid that the walls had ears and that someone was watching. herself, so it wasn't until she came back that she put down everything in her hands and took out this small box.
There was a paper bag inside the small box. Perhaps because time was too urgent, Gusu Liang didn't actually explain anything to herself, which made her even more confused.
Gusu Liang also sneaked out after Gu Qiang and Gu Huaian and others had fallen asleep. She was originally worried that Shen Xiaowei would fall asleep if she came at this time, but she didn't expect The lights in her room are still on
"Now that you're here, come in."
Of course, Shen Qiangwei saw the dark shadow flashing outside the window. She had seen it a lot in the past few days, so she naturally knew who it was.
"You obviously don't know martial arts, but you can easily know where I am." Gu Suliang scratched his head in embarrassment and walked in anyway.
"People who don't know may really think that you are a martial arts master."
"Young Master Gusu always visits late at night. I wonder what is there in my bedroom that attracts you and is worthy of your repeated visits." The look in Shen Qiangwei's eyes showed no signs of trouble. Gusu Liang was also afraid of offending the person in front of him. , jumped down from the window.
"Do you still keep the things I handed you today?" Gu Suliang came here for this matter. He only learned about the banquet today when he was walking in the palace and inquired carefully. After talking for a while, he was indeed invited. He really didn't have time to explain too much, so he had to stuff his things over first.
"If Mr. Gusu is storing it temporarily, please take it away quickly. If someone discovers what you have put here, I will have a hard time defending it."
Shen Qiangwei is actually very smart, and she also knows that the small package in this box must contain some medicinal materials, most likely to be used against Shen Zhongbai.
But now, she still hasn't figured out what to do.
All we can do is pretend to be confused. As for how to deal with this matter, it still depends on the attitudes of several of them.
"The medicine in this is a medicine that can quickly restore physical strength. If you are not an extraordinary doctor, you will never see any problems in this medicine."
The reason why Gusu Liang is so clear about this matter is because he knows Chu Tiankuo's current situation. This medicine is exactly what Shen Zhongbai, who is currently weak, needs. He just borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha and used medicinal materials with the same effect. On Shen Zhongbai's body.
"Do you want me to drug the emperor? He has already suffered a loss with this trick. Don't you guys have any fresh ideas?"
Shen Qiangwei always felt that this time Gusu Liang came to the door alone, it may not be the countermeasure after they discussed it, maybe it was just an idea that he had in mind.
"We are all outside the palace. After thinking about it, you are the only one who can do this. Although I don't know why you were willing to help us do this before, but now you are just with us. It’s the same as before, it shouldn’t be difficult for you.”
A lot of things happened, but Gusu Liang didn't know about it, and he didn't know what happened before Shen Qiangwei was blamed. He thought of the whole thing too simply.
