The palace was quiet at midnight. Groups of soldiers were patrolling like ghosts, expressionless, uniform, and heartless.
The Empress was sitting in her room with a diary in front of her. She looked out of the window. There was a pear tree whose huge branches stretched peacefully in the darkness. The Empress couldn’t calm down. She took a deep breath and told Sha, “Has Ling gone out of the palace?”
Sha nodded. She was not talkative and preferred body language to oral one. She was as composed and cold as one-thousand-year-old iceberg.
“I want to go out for a walk. Come with me.” Then the Empress stood up and went out. Sha glanced at the diary on the table and wanted to remind the Empress, but she said nothing at last.
Outside the Weiyang Palace, the night breeze blew gently and fluttered the Empress’s wide robe. The whole palace was like a sleeping beast that closed its bloodshot eyes and was not aggressive anymore. However, some pe
Shen Qianshan stood up, walked to the Empress, and made a bow with hands folded in front, “I was attacked when strolling in the palace with my guard, so we chased after the person to this place. We entered your room for fear that the assassin would put you in danger.”Shen Qianshan winked at Su Ge. He moved close to Shen Qianshan. Then Shen Qianshan said to the Empress, “There is nothing wrong with your room. I’m leaving now.”When Shen Qianshan walked past the Empress, she grabbed his arm at once and stared at him with sharp eyes. Shen Qianshan met her eyes and squinted. The woman was completely different from the one before. He had no idea why she changed so much.“Hunt an assassin?” The Empress repeated. Then she turned around to look at Shen Qianshan, lifted her eyebrows, and sneered, “You’d better find a better excuse if you want to investigate me again.”Then she threw away his arm with force and walked past him.
“Qiang has come back.” Ye gave the cool tea to Prime Minister Gu with sparkling eyes. She knew what he was nervous about, but she decided to take advantage of the chance to intensify his aversion to Gu Qiang. Gu Zhihua seemed to have failed, but Ye was not resigned to the result. She believed so long as she tried her best, she could push her daughter to an ideal place.After taking a sip of tea, Prime Minister Gu managed to calm down and asked coldly, “Bring her here. She is unrulier now! She knows I’m at home, but she doesn’t come to greet me. Does she still respect me as her father?”Ye suggested abolishing Gu Qiang’s infanta title before. Prime Minister Gu used to think Ye was airing her grievance. However, he had many reasons to do it now. He suddenly found it necessary to consider that.Soon after Gu Qiang returned to her yard, Ting Feng took her to the main hall hurriedly. After greeting Prime Minister Gu, she stood there with her eyes sp
Gu Qiang almost dropped her cup. She stood up to go out. Gusu Liang grabbed her hand and asked astonishedly, “My Lady, what are you going to do?”Protecting Gu Qiang was Gusu Liang’s task which was assigned by her master Shen Qianshan. She must take it seriously, or she would be scolded by him. Gu Qiang shook off Gusu Liang’s hand and headed towards the Xiaoyao Mountain.Shen Qianshan was there.Gu Qiang reached the Xiaoyao Mountain at noon. Familiar with the place, she went directly to the pavilion. Shen Qianshan was reading leisurely there. He was in white, and his hair was tied back casually. He leaned against the pavilion and looked like a picture. But Gu Qiang was in no mood to enjoy it. She strode to him and asked coldly, “Did you send my brother out of the capital?” Shen Qianshan turned around. She stood there like a blooming flower. She was so lovely even when she was angry, and anyone couldn’t help kissing
“Mr…. Mr. Gu Huaian, your brother.” Sha stammered nervously. “Let him in!” The Empress ordered loudly. Then she stood up and walked towards the main hall. She believed Shen Qianshan wouldn’t make a joke of it. She was also clear that he knew how much she cared about Gu Huaian.In the main hall, when Shen Qianshan just raised his cup, he saw the Empress walk out in a hurry. At that moment, he felt sorry suddenly since he could do nothing for what she cared about to help her. However, he repressed such a feeling at once. If he sympathized with her, who would sympathize with him? If he hadn’t seen her dairy, he wouldn’t have been like this. In the final analysis, she was to blame.He put down the cup and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”But he didn’t stand up to salute. Gu Qiang knew he wasn’t respectful to her. Of course, she didn’t care about it now, so she responded, “Don’t bother. What do you want to tell me about my brother?”
“Your Majesty, why are you angry?” Shen Qiangwei said with a wry smile and wiped her tears. Didn’t he know the Empress probably had an affair with Shen Qianshan? Now that he was clear about it, why was he so angry?Shen Qiangwei didn’t want to admit that Shen Zhongbai still loved the Empress. But if he loved her, why did he do everything he could to hurt her?Shen Qiangwei didn’t know if a man believed he had a claim to something, he would be possessive about it. Even if he didn’t love her any longer, he still hoped she would be loyal to him forever.If she failed to live up to his expectation, he would rather destroy her.“Don’t you know what I think about?” Shen Zhongbai said coldly. He regarded Shen Qiangwei as his intimate, but unexpectedly she was so stupid.Shen Qiangwei lowered her head. If something was admitted, it would prove she was not a patch on the Empress, so she didn’t want to admit it.“Wh
Shen Meng’s eyes were red. It was unknown whether she was close to tears or was angry.The gatekeeper walked over, picked up the fragments around Shen Meng’s feet, and comforted her, “My Lady, don’t take it seriously. Miss Gu took advantage of her title of an infanta to throw her weight about and looked down upon others. We don’t need to be angry with such a woman.”But Shen Meng shook her head and said slowly, “She is not as simple as you imagine. I’m sure she knows my secret. But how does she know it? Her brother knows nothing about it.”When the woman heard what Shen Meng said, her face changed. Then she asked, “You mean the infanta knows what you have… How could it be possible?”Shen Meng seemed to have a headache. She could accept Gu Qiang’s sudden appearance and her strange words. However, she couldn’t accept that thing. Just as Gu Qiang said, once others knew she had such a thing, not only herself would be hurt, but the whol
Though confused, Gusu Liang refrained from asking any question. She shouldn’t pry into it. She told herself not to forget her identity and do anything improper.As expected, Gu Huaian headed straight towards the Shen Family after coming out of the inn. Gu Qiang got off the carriage and followed him with Gusu Liang.Gusu Liang intended to persuade Gu Qiang, but she knew Gu Qiang was obstinate and her persuasion wouldn’t work. Gu Qiang always did whatever she wanted, in disregard of others’ opinions.The gate of Shen Family was always closed, but today it was opened unusually. The whole family was in a mess, and everyone was restless.Seeing Gu Huaian, the female gatekeeper rushed over as if she had caught a life-saving straw, and said tearfully, “Mr. Gu, bad news. My Lady has been taken away by the son of Hongzhou Governor.”Gu Huaian trembled all over. He didn’t follow her. Who was the son of Hongzhou Governor? Why did
Shen Qianshan’s hands lost all strength, so the testamentary edict almost fell. Gu Qiang grabbed it at once and stuck it to her waistband. It couldn’t be seen by anyone else in any case. She had to destroy it.The lingering heat on her lips was reminding her that the man enjoyed her coolness as well as the resignation and a slight trace of warmth followed.His breath blew towards her face, and his facial expression turned into enjoyment from astonishment. He closed his eyes, held her tightly in his arms, and fondled her back with abandon. Then he began to explore the secret in her mouth at ease like a curious kid. He kissed her tenderly and affectionately.At that moment, Gu Qiang had an illusion that the man really adored her. Meanwhile, a kind voice reminded her in the heart that it was not an illusion. The man had never been fond of women or thrown himself at the feet of any woman. But now he seemed to be intoxicated by her charm.
Seeing Gushu Ran's dazed eyes, he realized that it was this unintelligent brother who had drunk too much alcohol."I have pills to wake up here, but to small not so fast, I'm afraid I still have to be confused for a while, within half an hour, it should be fine."Originally that day after she said those words, the royal brother had already come to find herself privately, she has already and Gusu Ran fixed the marriage should not still and Gusu Liang have a laugh, so she deliberately sat on the top today, for fear that she can't live on her own, she came down to talk to Gusu Liang again.Gusu Liang looked at Shen Siyin and nodded, "Princess, you can go back to your seat first, I'll just take care of this side."Shen Siyin will have some medical skills, so I'm afraid that if she takes the pulse of Gu Qiang's court, then Gu Qiang's identity as a woman will be immediately exposed, even if Shen Siyin really likes herself, I'm afraid that she won't be able to toler
Gu court ladies these days, in addition to stay in the free building, is to go to the original ruins of the listening pavilion, hoping to find their own diary, but the possibility of this has been very small, and then is to send people to keep an eye on the casino side of the matter, the day of life is also to quite comfortable, but Shen Qianshan side, there has been no news, but also let the court ladies Gu a little bit worried, but they have not had a bad feeling, Shen Qianshan and brother together, surrounded by so many people can help them should not be any big problem. Shen Qianshan and brother together, surrounded by so many people can help them, there should not be any big problem.Early this morning, Gusu Liang called Gu Qiang up in bed and gave her some basic skills of light kung fu, hoping that she would still have the ability to defend herself when she was not able to take care of herself. practicing, Qi Bai walked in, and saw that the two of them, Gu Qiang and Gusu
There were quite a few officials who often spent time inside the Rain Flower House, even Gu Linjiang was a regular there, but there was one thing, this place was set up from the beginning by Shen Qianshan to be able to cover up his own men's secret guards, but what Court Lady Gu wanted to do right now was how she could get rid of the people under Gu Linjiang.Eleven nodded, "Subordinate obeys, then by the master's side, is it necessary to arrange for someone else to protect him?"The last time Gusu Ran was attacked, they failed to properly protect, the heart since the guilt, the master this time have scar such an important task to them, they must not dare to let the master disappointed again."It's not necessary." Court Lady Gu did feel that after settling this matter this time, she herself would be safe instead, and even if Gu Linjiang wanted to make a move, he would definitely stop because of Shen Zhongbai.Gusu Liang waited for a long time in front of the
Gu Qiang court temporarily also has not yet thought to explain to Gusu Liang, after all, this time the thing, also can not be explained clearly in a few words, if you want Gusu Liang to completely trust themselves, Shen Zhongbai's side to look at, perhaps there will be something else dare not be resolved, Shen Siyin is now they an excellent shelter, although it is also said that this is also to take advantage of her, but Shen Zhongbai so deep in his heart, in addition to his sister, the He really couldn't think of anyone else he could use to alleviate his suspicions of himself.Gusu Liang stood alone in the hall of the Easy House, seemed to be thinking about something, watched Court Lady Gu walk down, and directly turned around, directly to the backyard, chasing the clouds also just came back, saw the two of them now this way, also felt strange, but the face of the two people are not very good, so that all of a sudden he also do not know exactly who should go to ask, so he jus
Not to mention the fact that both of them were now back in the capital.Shen Qianshan frowned, although he knew that he had Chasing Cloud by his side, he would still feel a little worried, these days when he and Gu Huai'an were both living in the post house, Gu Huai'an had pretty much told himself all those things that had happened in Kyoto during the time he was away.What exactly is the matter that necessitates that both Court Lady Gu and Cloud Chaser must return to Kyoto?Although Shen Qianshan didn't know what had happened yet, he always felt that this time things might not be that simple."Then these things will be put aside first, I now come back is an important thing to tell you, this Zhenzhou City, in fact, not as simple as we think, this factory county officials, and a pretending to be a god of heavenly masters in collusion with a gas, this natural disaster, I originally did not have such a serious consequences, but by the two of them were born into
Gu Qiangwei looked at the person in front of her, the temperament on Shen Qiangwei was completely different from before, if she was before, excessively well-behaved and understanding, even to the point of blind obedience to Shen Zhongbai, to the point that now she could even control his preferences, it seems that during this period of time when she was not there, Shangwei was also dealing with some things in her own way, in the process of dealing with some things."The prince-in-waiting is indeed eloquent, earlier I felt that I was not firm in my stance, but now it seems that I have been brought into this by someone even smarter."Court Lady Gu didn't deny it, but there were some things that were not really under her control, just for example, why would Shen Qiangwei be able to see things that had happened in the other world as well as herself, if it wasn't for Shen Qiangwei, perhaps her next plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly."Your Highness since all already kno
Gusu Liang reaction is indeed very intense, but in the way of the current circumstances, he did not put his own concerns out, his willingness to keep in touch with Shen Siyin these days, in fact, is entirely to cover up the court lady Gu is now not in the middle of the capital of this matter, since the matter has a better solution, why would you want to continue?Gusu Liang turned back and heavily tugged on the sleeve of Gu Qiang's court, but Gu Qiang didn't give him any response, Shen Siyin turned her head and tilted her head at her own brother, seemingly in demonstration, Shen Zhongbai wasn't angry, he just gently nodded, his own sister getting closer to them might not be a bad thing for him, at least being able to keep track of the movements of their two brothers every now and then, not letting them out of their control.However, this Gusu Ran's attitude, but still let himself some doubt, if it is replaced by a general man, even if it is not like, should not let their
Although it was still not clear whether such behavior was dangerous or not, and it was also not clear why Shen Siyin actually chose to help them, but at least up to now, Shen Zhongbai had not explicitly shown any dissatisfaction with them, and there was definitely no lack of Shen Siyin's help in this.Court Lady Gu didn't really know what she should do right now, but one thing was clear, this time when they went to the palace, Shen Zhongbai might take this time to talk about it, and no matter what happened today, they would have to deal with it carefully and seriously.Shen Zhongbai heard the words of the eunuch, in fact, also thought a lot, not to mention the appearance of the entire Gusu Ran are so sudden, now think about it, but they are in the Chamber of Commerce, in fact, it has been very suspicious ...Just around the small eunuch came to pass, Shen Zhongbai also happen to want to take advantage of this opportunity to test, Gusu Ran this period of time, has b
Shen Qianshan raised his own concerns, this period of time in the battlefield, he deliberately paid attention to Huang Hao this person, he is brave and good at fighting, nothing more than seems to be by virtue of a high martial arts, is considered to be the art of high courage, in the strategic and tactical insights, but never defensive, in his own or the former status of the king of the battlefield, but also has seen Huang Hao's rough and tumble.If you don't let that day on the battlefield will not let the Dongliang country's spies drilled so big a hole, in the final analysis, even if Huang Hao's side with Song Yu, but it doesn't mean that the two of them can be low-grade to live in this kind of situation, the people if less that's okay, if Liu Yue sent out too many people, inevitably there will be accidents.What's more, the court ladies are still following them now."Then how about this, we follow them forward and release carrier pigeons on the way, it's better
