It was just a one-night stand. After the night, there would be no further relations between both parties. Women got what they wanted, and men enjoyed great excitement and satisfaction.
“No. We’re just looking for someone. Of course, madam, if you’re willing to sell the girl to us, we’d like to pay.” Jin Ye explained.
He was well aware of the real boss of the brothel. How could he be short of money? The whole country belonged to him. He wasn’t short of anything, and nor was the Empress. It was insulting to talk about money at this moment.
The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes and raised her chin, signaling them to look at all the girls’ pictures on the wall. She said, “Look at the girls in Manyue Tower. Many of them are beautiful. You can buy back the freedom of anyone you like.”
Then she began to drink tea and looked unconcerned.
“We’re looking for a girl named Ling.” The Empress walked closer. She knew the woman was
Shen Qianshan brushed the wet bloodstain on his clothes. It was not noticed before. When he brushed it, she was greeted with the bloody smell, which pervaded the large main hall.She turned around. Shen Qianshan waved his hand, and then Sha and Jin Ye walked out with Ling from the side hall.Ling’s rope had been untied, but the bloodstains on her clothes were shocking. Her hair was smeared with soil and bloodstains, and her face was dirty too. Though she was not very pretty, any woman wouldn’t allow herself to be so dirty. Ling staggered like an old woman of one hundred years old. After walking two steps, she had no more strength.Sha hurried to help her. Ling knelt in front of the Empress. Her voice was hoarse, and each word she said made her painful. Her voice was dry as if it would be torn anytime.“Your Highness, I’m so sorry.” Then she began to sob.The Empress stood there. She wanted to walk over to
When walking past the Empress, Shen Zhongbai turned around and whispered smilingly, “Qiang, you are pushing me. I have countless excuses to kill you. And you are well aware of what you are doing. You are playing with fire. Of course, I think you will burn yourself soon. Just you wait.”Then he left.Play with the fire and burn herself? Ridiculous! The truth was that she was in a fiery pit and had no alternative but to rebel. If she succeeded, she would hope to kill Shen Zhongbai as well. If he knew her idea, he would fly into a rage.Now that either of them was eager to kill the other, it was meaningless to put on an act.The Empress turned around and said behind Shen Zhongbai clearly and calmly, “Your Majesty, do you still remember who I am?”Shen Zhongbai paused. He didn’t understand what she meant. Was she still struggling? As an old saying went, the little fish couldn’t eat the big fish. No matter how capable the w
Then Shen Qianshan got a notebook from Jin Ye and threw it on the table. Gu Qiang picked it up and read it word by word. It was the corruption record of Hongzhou Governor. Actually, officials were not incorruptible enough. If being investigated, their corruption would be found out sooner or later. If the imperial court wanted to dismiss an official, that official would end up dead after just a small trick.“Take it to the Li Family. I promise Li Cangsi will bring Shen Meng out obediently.” Shen Qianshan raised his eyebrows as if waiting for Gu Qiang’s praise.As expected, Gu Qiang stood up, patted Shen Qianshan with a bright smile, and said, “Your Highness, thank you so much.” Then she headed towards the Li Family.Like a statue, Shen Qianshan reached out his hand to his body part touched by Gu Qiang just now and silently felt the trace left by her, as if her smell and strength had been engraved on his mind, and he could recollect them anytime.
Gu Qiang didn’t know how cute, attractive, and mysterious she was. Shen Qianshan was afraid she would slip away if he loosened his grip. He would do whatever he could to keep her around. Every moment with her was precious for him.His heart was full of warmth and he was wearing a big smile on his face as if spring came and flowers bloomed at that moment. As long as he could stay with Gu Qiang, he was willing to do anything.But was love so easy? He fell in love with Gu Qiang in this world, while he encountered a crushing blow in the other world.The Empress stumbled to her room and slammed the door. Then she leaned against it and sat down on the ground slowly. It was uncomfortable to sit on the icy ground, but she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.She became a Princess from the Empress overnight. She always yearned for and was in pursuit of a high position, but later she regarded it as less important. She realized it meant nothing
Shen Qianshan couldn’t accept what happened in a short time. He didn’t know how to explain to the Empress that she didn’t need to abort the baby. He found she had no idea of the situation, but he didn’t think it was necessary to protect her.“What do you think?” Shen Qianshan’s eyes became cold. He looked completely different from before and seemed to be more serious.The Empress didn’t respond. Since they woke up on the same bed, they had been quarreling. They didn’t quarrel for a result but for venting their resentment and complaints about what happened. No one was to blame, so they had to hurt each other.“It’s a baby. No matter who its father is, you shouldn’t abort it now that you have been pregnant. If you dare to abort it, you will be punished by God.” Shen Qianshan said more seriously than he did in each quarrel before. His voice was calm and extremely firm. It was the first time that he had regarded her as unreasonable. He didn’t have
“Liang, do you know I had a child before? You may not believe it. It belonged to me and Shen Zhongbai.” The Empress looked into the distance firmly and calmly as if she was talking about something irrelevant to her. But Gusu Liang could feel her helplessness and the pain that still haunted her after so many years.Gusu Liang thought it was just the imagination of her lady. As it was said, the Empress seemed to lose her sanity.“It’s impossible. My Lady, you didn’t marry the Third Prince. He married Gu Zhihua, the Third Lady of our family.” Gusu Liang said while cleaning the fragments of the bowl on the ground.The Empress nodded. She seemed to accept it and said, “Fetch me another bowl of medicine that is good for the fetus.”Gusu Liang paused and then looked up to beam at the Empress. Soon, Sun Linhua brought another bowl of medicine. When passing it to the Empress, she looked away unnaturally as if she didn’t want to have eye con
Sun Linhua was familiar with the smile. It was rare to see a smile on Shen Qianshan’s face. He seemed to be smiling, but he was sneering. Perhaps he was considering how to kill her with the knife, wasn’t he?“Yes.” Sun Linhua admitted. She had never tried to shirk the responsibility since the day she took action. She couldn’t accept that Shen Qianshan fell in love with this woman. What was more unacceptable was that this woman was pregnant with his baby. If she couldn’t kill the woman, she was determined to kill her baby.She thought it was worthwhile to kill the baby at the cost of her own life.“Why did you do that?” Shen Qianshan’s voice was as cold as before. He looked Sun Linhua in the eye. His curious eyes repressed his anger. He knew she didn’t have a reasonable explanation. In fact, he was looking for an excuse to kill her immediately.Sun Linhua was anomalously calm with an expressionless face. She simply explained, “She i
It was improper to talk about it in the presence of Shen Zhongbai and Prime Minister Gu, but Ye didn’t care. She couldn’t helplessly watch Gu Zhihua lose her face again in public.Gu Qiang acted as if she didn’t hear what Ye said.As an infanta, she didn’t need to salute the Third Prince. She meant to greet him, but only to find that he rushed over and wanted to hug her like a hungry wolf hunting its prey. His action and expression seemed as affectionate as those of a lover.Gu Qiang dodged and stared at Shen Zhongbai’s face. He winked at her to spare his blushes, but she shook her head because he was insatiable. The Third Prince turned around and told Prime Minister Gu and Ye smilingly, “I will ask my brother to approve my marriage with Qiang right away. Don’t worry.”Prime Minister Gu turned around to look at Gu Zhihua, who huddled behind Ye like an injured animal staring at the Third Prince. What he said was like a
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
