But this time, Shen Qiangwei could not bear it no matter what. How could Gu Zhihua pull out the laurel tree? Did she not know how important that tree was to her? That was evidence that Shen Zhongbai once loved her. Of course, Gu Zhihua knew it, or she would not have destroyed the tree.
"Since you are so unreasonable, we will invite Elder Sister here to see if she really hates this tree. If she doesn't, I'll take you down!" Shen Qiangwei hissed coldly.
When Gu Zhihua heard that she was going to invite Gu Qiang over, she immediately became terrified.
Gu Qiang had been in the imperial palace for several months, but she had always been in her own Weiyang Palace and never came out without any care in the world. Gu Zhihua had never been on good terms with Gu Qiang. If they brought Gu Qiang here, she could not guarantee which side Gu Qiang would take in the end.
But so what if she took Shen Qiangwei's side? In any case, no matter w
The scene immediately went out of control. The surrounding palace maids were all in a panic. They cried and shouted at the side. Not long after, Shen Zhongbai came over with a livid face. Several Imperial Doctors followed behind him. After the Imperial Doctors squatted down, they checked Shen Qiangwei's condition.Shen Qiangwei was like a withered flower. She withered in an instant. She reached out to wipe her tears and looked at Shen Zhongbai. Her breath was gossamer, "Your Highness, our child..."Shen Zhongbai picked her up and placed his chin on her cheek as he comforted her, "I am here. Don't worry. The child will be fine."The Empress' eyes lit up at the side. The blood on the ground was about to solidify. The child had obviously turned into blood and would never come back. She wondered what Shen Qiangwei was feeling at this time. Would Shen Qiangwei feel as painful as when she was in the past? She would never forget the feeling of
"Alright." The Empress opened her thin lips and smiled. Shen Zhongbai got up, pulled out his sword, and stabbed toward Empress.This time, he really wanted to take the Empress' life. He thought that the Empress would dodge, but he did not expect that she just stood there and did not move. Just as the sword was about to stab her, Shen Zhongbai stopped.At the same time, Gusu Liang rushed up, pulled out her sword from the side of her leg, and went up to block the attack. With that, Shen Zhongbai's sword flew off his hand.In fact, Shen Zhongbai did not really want to hurt the Empress, otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped. However, Gusu Liang really wanted to kill him.Her sword was against Shen Zhongbai's neck, and she looked at him coldly.The atmosphere was tense all of a sudden, and Shen Qiangwei supported her weak body as she shouted, "Someone! Come here!"Behind the Empress, Ling instantly threw a
Bai Su reached out and wiped the hilt of his sword. His movements were slow and elegant as if he had completed some sort of ritual. Then, he tilted his head and looked at Shen Zhongbai with a smile. He said word by word, "You have no other choice. The entire imperial palace is not a restriction to me at all. For the sake of your throne and your country, you should take me to see that old woman. I just have some things to confirm."The fact that he was able to bring so many people here so quickly showed that he had long been prepared for this. Although the Empress did not want to admit it, the current situation was clear— Bai Su came here to confirm something, and he would save her in passing. In the Empress' heart, Bai Su was not a safe person.Shen Zhongbai clenched his fists, his eyes red. Just as Bai Su had said, he had no other choice.The lights lit up at the gates of Yongning Palace. Shen Zhongbai led the way, and everyone walked s
"To be honest, when I first saw you, I wanted to marry you. Do you know why?" Bai Su turned his head. His eyes narrowed as if he was smiling. He looked charming."Why?" The Empress asked casually. She was already immune to this man's smile. She didn't know when she first met this man, but this man acted as if he had known her for decades."Because you look exactly the same as Bai Qirong," Bai Su said.Bai Qirong, the woman whose name had been mentioned countless times tonight and who carried so many stories, who was she?Now, the Empress was already not young. Although she was still extremely gorgeous and beautiful, she was no longer at the age when she would be evaluated by her appearance.She carefully deduced, and a very melodramatic story appeared in her mind. She urgently needed to ask Bai Su for confirmation."Who exactly is Bai Qirong?" the Empress asked.Bai Su sighed softly. It
The Empress' nose twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded and went down the mountain.News that Empress Dowager died of a disease in the palace spread widely. Pieces of white cloth had already been hung on the capital's main road, dyeing the entire capital white.The three of them walked on a remote path, avoiding the soldiers and citizens. Finally, they went up to Xiaoyao Mountain in the afternoon.There was a white cloth in front of the mountain gate. As the Ninth Prince, he naturally had to pay tribute to Empress Dowager's death.Pushing open the door, they had yet to enter when they saw Jin Ye rush out and pull the Empress to the side. His face was as pale as a sheet."Master has gone to the imperial palace. The entire Gu Family was also captured and brought to the imperial palace. Miss, what did you do?" Jin Ye fiercely pinched the Empress' arm, through the thick clothes on her body, as if wan
Ye's entire body was trembling. She clearly understood what the Empress meant.Her hands were slowly clenching into fists. Now, Gu Family was already like an old tree in autumn, not having much strength to sway in the wind. It could not even protect itself, as if walking on thin ice.If the Empress insisted, Shen Zhongbai would definitely destroy Gu Family in one fell swoop.Who would have thought that the once all-powerful Gu Family was just an empty shell?"What do you mean by this?" Prime Minister Gu seemed to have heard the hidden meaning in her words.The Empress did not care about Prime Minister Gu's question. Instead, she approached Ye and continued to ask, "How did my mother die?"Ye was so scared that she cried. She was almost forty years old and had experienced a lot. But now, she could no longer hold on.Gu Family was hit with too many matters recently. First, Gu Zhihua accid
For a full month, the Empress stayed in Weiyang Palace. She knew what she was waiting for. She was waiting for Gu Qiang to change everything so that she could get out of the predicament she was in right now.She never seemed to realize that she cared so much about Shen Qianshan. The time she spent with him was getting less and less, but the longing for him in her heart was gradually piling up like a mountain, unable to calm down.Gusu Liang came in and handed the fruit to the dazed Empress. She asked expressionlessly, "Miss, Ye is here. She said that she wanted to see you. Are you going to see her?"The Empress turned around. When Gusu Liang said this, she was very calm. It seemed that she did not take this matter to heart. It was just a casual question. As for how the Empress responded, she did not seem to care either."She must be here for the matter of Gu Zhihua. Let her in. If she does not pour out her words, she must fe
It was true that Shen Zhongbai did not like Gu Zhihua, but in terms of materialism, she had always had what she wanted. It was because she was contented and had nothing to do that she was always jealous. This time, Shen Zhongbai sent Gu Zhihua to the desolate palace, hoping that Gu Zhihua would reflect on herself."Your Majesty, as a mother, I only hope that you will cherish Zhihua. Life is not easy for her. It seems that you have never tried to treat Zhihua well. If you treated her well, she would even give her life to you," Ye said.At this time, she seemed to be a loving mother, but Shen Zhongbai already did not want to bother to cast a glance at her."I understand. Tomorrow, I will release Concubine Hua and pamper her. Let's see what she can do for me." Shen Zhongbai said with bad intentions. He continued, "Mother-in-law, if you have nothing to do, then leave. I really have to rest."When Ye came out of the Imperial Stud
