Although it was impossible for Shen Zhongbai not to hear the meaning of Gu Linjiang's words, it was just that he didn't want to talk back in front of so many ministers, he was the emperor anyway, if he lost his sense of proportion in front of so many ministers, it would not just be a matter of losing face.

"What does Prime Minister Gu mean by this, is he blaming me for not taking good care of the Ninth Princess? will it lead to a fire in the palace and the death of the nine princesses? Shen Zhongbai looked at Shen Qiangrose beside him lightly, Shen Qiangrose also understood what Shen Zhongbai meant, and then Shen Zhongbai's words continued.

"Does Prime Minister Gu know? What is the cause of the fire in this palace of pure heart? This palace is heavily guarded, if you are not a top master, it is absolutely impossible to enter and exit, in this palace, who is most likely to harm the nine princesses, there should be no concubines to remind Prime Minister Gu, right? Prime Minister Gu should still take care of his own family affairs, don't get involved in the affairs of the palace anymore, this harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, can this minister interfere in the harem? ”

From the exchanges between Shen Qiangrose and Shen Zhongbai, Gu Yan could clearly see that Shen Qiangrose did everything according to Shen Zhongbai's intentions, no wonder Shen Qiangrose was able to retain her status in the palace for such a long time, and she was indeed a smart person.

"The old minister doesn't dare, his sister-in-law is his own blessing, and he can't complain about others." How could Gu Linjiang not hear it, the meaning of this was nothing more than reminding himself that the fire in the palace was very likely to be set by Gu Zhihua, but until now, he has never received the slightest news about Gu Zhihua, which means that Shen Zhongbai wants to take advantage of this matter to let himself go, and if he mentions it again for no reason, he is definitely asking for trouble for himself.

Shen Zhongbai laughed, did not make any response to Gu Linjiang's words, and Gu Yan was even more uncomfortable when he saw it, and finally survived until after the banquet, Qi Bai secretly went to the Imperial Garden to find an opportunity to communicate with the envoys of Southern Qi alone, and Gu Yan was forced to be left behind by Shen Siyin, in the name of exchanging feelings.

The two of them walked very awkwardly on the path of the Imperial Garden, but Gu Yan opened her mouth first, this Nanqi may not be worse than Bei'anguo, why is this princess unwilling to marry Nanqi? He is already a commoner, Shen Zhongbai broke the rules and married Shen Siyin to himself, I am afraid that after waiting for himself to come out, Shen Zhongbai will be annoyed again.

"Princess, don't you look at me unpleasantly? Why did you not have any objection when you knew that the emperor wanted to give you to me? ”

Gu Yan can only hope for Shen Siyin now, as long as she is unwilling to marry, Shen Zhongbai may also take back her life, but it is very likely that it will be after the envoys of Southern Qi leave.

Shen Siyin kicked the pebbles on the side of the road boringly, "How far is Nanqi, I don't want to marry in the past, so I accepted the marriage gift from the imperial brother, anyway, I don't hate you, if I marry you, I don't have anything to lose, on the contrary, I also helped my imperial brother, just right." ”

What does Shen Siyin mean by helping, Gu Yan is not a fool, so she can naturally understand that Shen Zhongbai just wants to take the Gusu family for his own use, and with Shen Siyin's reason, he doesn't have to enter the court as an official, and dealing with those ministers will become safer, and he will definitely not threaten his throne.

"But it doesn't matter if the person you marry is not the one you love?" Gu Yan has experienced a lot of things, but she always feels that in some things, she is far less transparent than them, such as Shen Qiangrose, for example, the current Shen Siyin.

"That's okay, I don't hate you right now anyway."

"Then I have a way, I accept the emperor's marriage and become your concubine, but this marriage, we delay until three years later, if at that time, you don't find your crush, I will continue to be your concubine, if you find your crush, we will cancel the marriage, this is good?"

Gu Yan thought about it carefully, if it was according to Gu Su Liang and Gu Huai'an, if he was temporarily sick, he might not be able to last for a long time, not to mention, now that Shen Siyin had made it clear that he didn't have any interest in himself, in that case, it would be better for the two of them to cooperate and cover up this matter first, it would be good.

"Your idea is quite chic, everyone else is squeezed out of their heads, and they want to be my colt, why do you still shirk it? You have to know that the imperial brother gave you this opportunity, and this is a position that many people dream of. "Shen Siyin is short in stature, even if Gu Yan is not tall, she is taller than ordinary women, and in front of Shen Siyin, it is enough.

"The grass people are used to being happy, so they don't like life in the palace very much, and I think the princess is the same, she may not like the horse that the emperor arranged for you, right?" The love and hatred in this royal family are changing rapidly, even if Shen Siyin really likes herself, as long as she can last for two or three years, she doesn't believe it, Shen Qianshan will not come back for three years......

"Do what you say over there, anyway, I don't like you very much, as long as you don't send me to your relatives and stay too far away from the imperial brother."

When Gu Yan heard this, her heart tightened, it seems that the relationship between Shen Siyin and Shen Zhongbai's brother and sister is indeed good, but she can guarantee that in these three years, Shen Siyin will not be sent to get married, but there is no way to guarantee that the two of them can always be together, Shen Zhongbai has hurt himself so badly, and he will never let him go again.

"Your Majesty, if you give Princess Siyin to a commoner, isn't it a little unfair to the princess? The old minister dared to make the emperor take back his fate, even if he sent the princess to make peace, it was better than marrying the princess to a boy in the market, so as not to suffer the princess in the future. ”

Gu Linjiang looks like a bitter old minister, but Shen Zhongbai understands what he has in his heart, the Gusu family is in Kyoto, although there is no officialdom power, but this official will be more or less afraid of his family's power, Gu Linjiang, an old fox, may have been eyeing this Gu Suran for a long time, otherwise, why would he be so opposed to marrying Shen Siyin to Gu Suran?

"Prime Minister Gu's concerns are really a little redundant, after all, this Gusu family can be regarded as a big family in the capital, Si Yin and the little son of this Gusu family have known each other for a long time, and the two of them can be regarded as knowing each other, since Si Yin didn't have any questions, the prime minister doesn't have to worry, I have my own arrangements."

When Gu Linjiang arranged the seat just now, Gu Suran was by his side, and he originally wanted to take this opportunity to get close to this little son of the Gu Su family, but he didn't expect that after so many things, Shen Zhongbai was already ready to choose Gu Suran as Shen Siyin's concubine, and he was caught off guard.

Qi Bai secretly followed behind the envoy of Southern Qi, watched him walk into a bamboo forest in the imperial garden, and quickly followed him in, the dark night had already found that someone was following behind him, but there was no way to determine the identity of the person behind him, so he kept leading him into the woods, and the two of them fought each other, and he might not have the upper hand.

Qi Bai watched the envoys of Nanqi go deeper and deeper, and his heart began to gradually become suspicious, this person's figure, he really became more and more familiar with it, although it was certain that it was definitely not the prince, but Qi Bai still remained vigilant and followed.

The dark night walked to the end of the dense forest, and he was still haunted by the conversation between Shen Zhongbai and Gu Linjiang at the banquet just now, listening to their meaning, the ninth princess must have been dead a long time ago, if this is the case, if the prince knows the news, the scene is not something he can control.

Dark Night and Qi Bai both held flying knives in their hands, there was still a distance between the two of them, no one spoke, Qi Bai did not appear, Dark Night slowly turned his head, "This brother doesn't know what is the purpose of following for so long?" Why don't you show up and the two of us have a good talk? ”

Shen Zhongbai is scheming, maybe he will really send someone to assassinate the envoys of Southern Qi, or control himself, the dart in the dark night's hand has not been put down, and Shen Zhongbai must not be allowed to take advantage of the loophole.

Qi Bai walked out of the bushes beside him, "Dare to ask who Gongzi is?" Although Qi Bai didn't dare to confirm it, from the way the Southern Qi envoy spoke on the other side, he had basically associated with the identity of the other party, after all, they were people who had worked together for so many years, so they naturally knew a lot.

"Naturally, I am a person from Southern Qi, could it be that I am an envoy of Southern Qi, or a person from another country?" Dark Night heard the person opposite ask him such a question, and his heart was even more puzzled, he didn't dare to approach, but secretly observed the position of the person opposite.

"Do you know this?" Qi Bai knew that if the person on the other side was really Dark Night, he was probably already aiming at himself and preparing to send a dark weapon, so he could only take out the token in his arms, "If you know this thing, you should know who I am." ”

The moonlight outside was not very bright, and the dark night quickly squatted down, picked up the token on the ground, and could confirm at a glance that this thing was indeed Qi Bai, "Who are you?" Why do you have this thing? ”

In recent times, there have been so many things that no one dares to let their guard down.

"I'm the guard next to the prince." Qi Bai still didn't show up, for fear that his judgment would be wrong and his identity would be exposed, so he could only keep such a distance and talk to the person opposite, but this time, he took down the voice-changing sticker that was attached to his throat.

"Qi Bai ......" As soon as he heard the voice in the dark night, he could hear the identity of that person, and he didn't take two steps quickly, and arrived in front of him, "Fortunately, you're here, eh, you're not ......"
