Chapter 1005: In and out of the palace
Gu Huai'an didn't feel that the situation in front of him was something he could control, but if he chose to leave at this time, he would have no way to figure out the situation in the city today, not to mention that he still came alone often today, in case he ......
Gu Huai'an had already felt it when he walked out of that small alley, and the people behind him seemed to be about to approach him, but he didn't have time to think about it at this time, he only felt that if he planted it in this place, it would really be too worthless.
Gu Huai'an continued to walk forward, but a person suddenly appeared at the fork in the road in front of him, directly blocking Gu Huai'an's way.
"Is there something wrong with this son?"
Gu Hongan could barely hold up a smile at this time, looking at the person in front of him, after all, the person in front of him didn't seem to be fierce and evil, and probably didn't have any bad intentions, but in this situation, it was really not easy for him to stay calm, there were wolves and tigers in front of him, and he couldn't be as calm as usual no matter what.
"Where are you from, and why are you buying medicine in the city?"
The question asked by this person made Gu Huaian feel that something was not right, if the heavy situation really had something to do with the person in front of him, why would he ask himself such a question at this time?
It's strange here, Gu Huai'an feels that the person in front of him is even very likely to be not in the same group as the group of people following behind him, but he can't take it lightly at this time, although he knows some martial arts, it doesn't mean that he can beat four hands with two fists.
"I'm just a passing merchant, is it broken to buy some medicine, what are the rules here?"
Although he knew that the person in front of him might not have any great malice, but this person was clearly not this successful person, he appeared here, and he was on such a remote street corner, but the path was completely different from that of these people behind him.
The young man in front of him looked Gu Huai'an in front of him up and down, and only after a long time did he speak suspiciously, "Are you a doctor?" You just gave the medicine to the guy who was following you. ”
Gu Huai'an nodded with a ghostly gesture, and there is no big problem when it comes to the person in front of you to make yourself look at it, I always feel that I should think too much, and he is not like a person who will do it to others casually just because others bought a pack of medicine.
"Yes, I'm just a herb merchant, and I can cure diseases with some medical skills, but I'm not a doctor."
In an unfamiliar place, you still have to protect your identity more or less, so as not to make it difficult for you to deal with any other problems after this, not to mention that you haven't fully confirmed whether the person in front of you has malicious intentions towards you.
Although Gu Yan still occasionally returned to the Nine Princes' Mansion to live for two days, she basically lived in Lingyin Pavilion on weekdays, so at this time, it was more convenient for Shen Zhongbai, as the emperor, to call himself into the palace, and sometimes even Shen Qianshan didn't know that he had entered the palace.
Recently, Shen Zhongbai didn't seem to arrange all the people in the vicinity of Lingyin Pavilion, and the lives of several people have become much easier, although Gu Yan still occasionally goes in and out of the palace, but this doesn't seem to have changed much in their lives.
Gu Yan was still worried about how she should explain when Gu Huai'an came back, but she counted on her fingers, and when Gu Huai'an came back, no matter how she said it, it would be after the imperial examination in July, and when Gu Huai'an came back, maybe she had already found all the remaining medicinal materials in the pharmacy, so there was no need to be afraid that Gu Huai'an would be angry with herself.
"The situation in the capital doesn't seem to be serious, why is it so serious in the palace?"
Watching Gu Yan running around in and out of the palace all day long, Gu Suliang also felt a little strange, the situation outside the imperial city could be controlled so easily, how could the imperial city be basically sparsely populated, why still couldn't control the condition?
"Isn't it because there are people with ulterior motives in this palace? Besides, although the concubines don't go out between the palaces, don't the people below still like to wander around and gossip? ”
Although Gu Yan helped Shen Zhongbai deal with the urgent need at the moment, he was not ready to give Shen Zhongbai a permanent gold medal for avoiding death, for the current Shen Zhongbai, he just didn't have to deal with those concubines for the time being.
"I don't know about you women, but when you entered the palace twice this time, did you see Shen Qiangrose?"
Gu Suliang told the truth, and still remembered that Shen Qiangrose couldn't say that she had a good impression of this Shen Qiangrose, but she always felt that this woman, from a certain point of view, was somewhat similar to Gu Yan in front of her, and she was the kind of person who had been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge after knowing the truth of the matter and the true face of her lover.
If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that people like Rose and Gu Yan would be avoided, Gu Yan was fine, but after all, Shen Qiang Rose was born in the Qinglou and had been in the palace for so long, so his mind was not comparable to ordinary people.
"I found that since the last time you went to the palace to take care of Shen Qiangrose, you seem to be very interested in Shen Qiangrose, could it be that you really have something on Shen Qiangrose's mind?"
Gu Yan was originally just a joke, but the look of the person in front of him was suddenly shocked, I don't know what this means, but I also followed it, this is not something that can be used to joke, no matter what Shen Qiangrose's previous and current identity is, he has no way to imagine that Gu Su Liang and Shen Qiangrose, the situation of the two of them standing together, this is really too discordant.
"What are you talking about? When did I cross paths with that concubine? But I think it's pitiful to stay alone in the palace, if you really have anything that can help, it's better to help him, it's really difficult to make a living in the palace. ”
The palace is called a step-by-step camp, in case of a slight mistake, I am afraid that the whole person will have to put his life into it, so Gu Su Liang will feel that after all, they are people who share life and death and sorrow, and they should take care of each other.
"I know, I know, it's not a big problem, when I take over the palace these days, although I can't touch every princess, but as long as there is any movement on Shen Qiangrose's side, it's understandable for me to go, but I don't know if I really go to see Shen Qiangrose, will it attract Shen Zhongbai's attention."
Shen Zhongbai has been unusually quiet recently, which inevitably makes people feel a little unreasonable, for Shen Zhongbai, he can't wait to stare at those who threaten him every minute and every second of every day, but although Shen Qianshan has not moved recently, it will not make Shen Zhongbai suddenly relax his vigilance, right?
"By the way, my brother has been walking for so long, why hasn't there been any news for a long time?"
After all, this time Gu Huai'an went alone, in case something happened, Gu Chang always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she had been waiting for Gu Huai'an to write a letter to herself, but after such a long time, she had never seen Huai'an's letter, could it be that she sent it directly to Shen Qianshan?
"Your brother is busy outside, you should feel lucky, no news is the best news, if he comes back suddenly, do you think he will let you go so easily?"
Gu Yan couldn't help but shrink her neck when she heard this, and what she said was that when she hadn't been able to handle these things perfectly, Gu Huai'an had better not come back.
The situation on Lone Huan's side was not as bad as he imagined, at least the young man in front of him, when he heard that Gu Huai'an had a little medical skills, his attitude became more humble, and he directly invited Gu Huai'an to his residence.
The strange thing is that although this young man does not look like a resident of this city, he can easily help him get rid of the people behind him.
Gu Huai'an saw that the young man in front of him had been walking forward with him, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Where are you taking me, this boy? At least let me know what I'm going to do, right? ”
Gu Huai'an felt that the person in front of him was getting more and more anxious, as if there was really something waiting for him.
The young man in front of him did not stop, but continued to explain to the people behind him as he walked forward.
"You're a smart man, and you should be able to tell that none of the people out there are actually residents here."
This young man has the breath of rivers and lakes, and it can be seen from his gestures that he should be a person who is not bad at kung fu, but it always makes people feel a little arrogant.
"So where have all the people who originally lived in this city gone?"
What Gu Huan really cares about is this, since Huang Hao had stationed the army here not long ago, it means that many residents here have been in contact with them.
So why don't the people on the streets look like people who live here anymore?
"They are infected, in fact, most of the people no longer live in their own homes, and the ones you see on the streets are only surviving, and there are even many despicable villains who are very peaceful on the surface, but in fact there is a dark tide."
Gu Huai'an had indeed heard that in some places, the entire town was closed because of the plague, or all the infected people were gathered together for treatment.
