Chapter 70: A Pair of Dogs and a Male and Female
Gu Yan didn't even look at her, so she said: "Then I'm looking forward to it, but before that, I was very curious, you love Shen Zhongbai so much, but he only lets you be a concubine, so it seems that you are the one who is better than death?" ”
After finishing speaking, he took Gu Su Liang back to his room, Gu Zhihua rushed up, but was stopped by the maid, and the maid whispered comfortingly: "Girl, you can't be impulsive, now that she is the county lord, if you do something in her yard that she can't accept, the master is still to blame." ”
How could she not know that identity is everything, just because she was holding a breath in her heart, if she couldn't vent it, it would be an explosion.
When he was taken away by the maid, it was already dark.
Gu Yan, who was sitting in front of the window, quietly looked at the direction of the sunset, and couldn't help but sigh that this day was terrifying, and everything was like a dark cloud, so that she didn't even have a chance to breathe.
Fortunately, she is used to everything nowadays, but she doesn't know ...... She took out her most precious diary, is that queen okay? Is it the same as herself, there are countless things waiting for her to do, and now her heart is haggard.
At this time, the queen was also sitting in front of the table in the study, and the candlelight filled this small space, making her heart uncomfortable.
Ling'er walked in, first carefully observed the queen, and then said, "Queen Mother, the emperor has already done it." ”
The queen turned her head to look at the candle flame on the table, took a sip of tea helplessly, and said calmly: "This is inevitable, Shen Qianshan is so good, Shen Zhongbai is so jealous, sooner or later, Shen Zhongbai will not accept Shen Qianshan's existence." ”
Ling'er opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally said embarrassedly: "Queen Mother, you have been more concerned about the Nine Princes recently than before...... Don't? ”
The queen raised her head suddenly, staring at Ling'er coldly, making the little girl embarrassed, "It's the slave who talks too much." ”
Ling'er naturally didn't say this anymore on her face, but in private she knew better than anyone else that the current queen mother's love for the emperor was like an obsession with the emperor was gone, and her concern for the Nine Princes was several times more than before.
But the queen didn't care at all, and even Ling'er didn't know what the queen was doing now.
Obviously, it seems to have its own steps, its own plans, and it is planned step by step, but I can't find the rules.
It's like ...... A game of chess that knows the result in advance, no matter how you move around or how capricious, the final result is good anyway.
Although Ling'er felt that the queen was a little abnormal, and wanted to remind the queen, she found that the things that the queen cared about happened one by one after a short time.
"Tomorrow, you will go with me to the imperial study to save Shen Qianshan." The queen said.
Ling'er lowered her head and said helplessly: "The last time you attacked the prince's mansion at night, the emperor has not been angry, and now if you do this, I am afraid that the emperor will really be angry." ”
Although Ling'er never said it, how could she not know that the emperor had not come to Weiyang Palace for a long time, and she was not as enthusiastic as before when she saw the queen, even if the previous enthusiasm was pretended, now it can be said that she doesn't even want to pretend.
A good pair, just to keep face together, counting, Ling'er's heart is not comfortable, everything the queen mother has done for the emperor, she sees it in her eyes, but now the queen mother is left out in the cold, which also shows that it is impossible for a man to put his heart on a woman forever. No matter what this woman did for him.
In the early morning of the second day, in the Guanyang Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, three glasses of liquor were in the stomach, Shen Zhongbai reached out and patted Shen Qianshan, who had just entered the palace and had not yet sat on the hot buttocks, and said with a smile: "Since the queen mother left, our brothers have not drunk together like this for a long time. ”
Shen Qianshan raised the corners of his mouth and continued: "Indeed, the imperial brother is now managing national affairs, and the burden on his body is heavy, how can the royal brother dare to come over and disturb the imperial brother?" ”
Shen Qianshan's smile was indifferent, his expression was calm, the wine in that cup had a different taste, he could smell it, but what made him unacceptable was why Shen Zhongbai did this.
He never thought about sitting in a position that didn't belong to him, nor did he think about replacing anyone, he just lived his life peacefully, and couldn't he make Shen Zhongbai happy like this?
"Indeed, I am too tired, the affairs of the world, the affairs of the court, and your ......" Shen Zhongbai's eyes were originally looking into the distance, but when he said this, he turned his head to look at Shen Qianshan.
This look pierced Shen Qianshan's body like the frost of June, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and when he turned his head to meet Shen Zhongbai's eyes, he knew that he was indeed not joking.
After a long silence, Shen Qianshan laughed slowly and said to him, "Is the existence of Brother Wang so embarrassing for Brother Wang?" ”
He didn't know what he should do, maybe only after he really disappeared could he reassure Shen Zhongbai, right?
"It's very difficult." Shen Zhongbai nodded, and in the distance, a pair of figures gradually approached, it was the queen. Shen Zhongbai is not worried, the queen has always been on her side, in order to make his throne sit firmly, she can do anything to get rid of anyone.
"Brother Wang, I'm sorry for you, I hope you don't blame me." Shen Zhongbai said, a sympathetic expression appeared on his face, as if he was very distressed, and then he pushed the teacup in front of Shen Qianshan in his direction, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.
The gesture was so natural and casual, as countless times before, he invited him to have a drink, but none of those times was poisonous.
Shen Qianshan looked down at the wine glass, his heart turned a thousand times, and finally turned into a comfortable smile, and said, "Since the emperor wants me to drink it, I will drink it." ”
After saying that, he picked up the cup, and when he was about to drink it all, his body shook suddenly, and he fell to the side, and the cup in his hand was thrown out for a long time, and smashed on the ground, and the fragments scattered in all directions.
Shen Qianshan turned his head blankly, and saw the queen standing in front of him with an apologetic face, and her hands that had nowhere to put wanted to go up to help him, but she was afraid that this was unceremonious and did not move.
"Nine Princes, you have nothing to do, it's all to blame for the carelessness of the palace, are you injured?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and wanted to help Shen Qianshan up.
The outstretched hand was hit back hard, Shen Qianshan raised his eyes, and saw Shen Zhongbai sitting there with a blue face.
"Queen Mother, your play with the emperor is really enough!" Shen Qianshan got up, dusted off his robe, and walked away.
The queen looked at the liquid in the fragments of the cup on the ground that turned out to be cyan, and she already knew that she had come at the right time, it was the cup of poisonous wine, if Shen Qianshan drank it, I am afraid that she would have reached the ghost gate by now.
But what did Shen Qianshan's words mean? The queen stood there with her head bowed, completely unable to figure out what she had done to make Shen Qianshan scold herself and Shen Zhongbai together.
She was helping Shen Qianshan, couldn't he see it? If he hadn't arrived in time today, he would have drunk the poisonous wine, and he wouldn't have survived a few lives by then.
In the end, Shen Qianshan actually said that about himself, and the queen immediately felt very aggrieved, but she still hid her emotions.
Shen Zhongbai turned his head to look at this woman, the corners of his mouth rose in an inexplicable arc, and then he swept everything on the table to the ground, and stood up suddenly, with the unique fragrance of flowers on his body, in this huge and seemingly closed space, the queen felt that her brain was being smoked.
"Explain to me what exactly you want to do?" Shen Zhongbai's voice was cold, with a huge amount of unhappiness suppressed in it, and his eyes were cold, as if he wanted to tear the queen apart, but he tried his best to suppress it.
The queen raised her head slowly, since she had already done it, she was not afraid of what others said, anyway, what if she did it?
How could Shen Zhongbai have thought that there was no fear in this woman's eyes, where was this woman's awe of herself before, and how respectful this woman was to herself? What about respect? What about worship? It's all gone! The firmness and calmness in her eyes made Shen Zhongbai's whole body tremble uncomfortably.
"What does the emperor think the concubine is doing?" The queen didn't notice that this was the first time she had spoken to Shen Zhongbai like this, and her eyes were so indifferent that even Ling'er next to her felt incredible when she saw it.
It turns out that the queen mother is like this, which makes people admire and worry a little, and openly shouting at the emperor, it is really scary to think about it, after all, there is indeed such a man in this world, as long as he opens his mouth, all people are scared, and even his own life cannot be guaranteed.
It is true that the position of the queen mother is now above 10,000 people under one person, but she can't stand on the opposite side of the emperor so indiscriminately, or even anger the emperor, in this case, Shen Zhongbai's means Ling'er is not unaware.
Shen Zhongbai really raised his eyebrows, hid the monstrous anger, and replaced it with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but the palms of his hands were already deeply twisted together, and ten fingers snapped, he couldn't wait to slap this slap on the queen's face, that face was bewitching and beautiful, he had spent too long to get and love, and now he only looked at it and was disgusted.
"Is this the way you talk to me? You won't be unclear about what I'm thinking in my heart, and now you're so unreasonable. Could it be because you like Lao Jiu? Shen Zhongbai's voice was even trembling, she knew that he was not jealous, the relationship between these two people was already an empty shell, she had long since stopped expecting extravagance, he was just angry, and he didn't want to be cuckolded by his own woman.
