"Back to the Ninth Prince, indeed."

　　"Take this king to the Minister of Rites."

　　This matter, rather than ask Shen Zhongbai, and then get an ambiguous answer to shirk, it is better to go directly to the Ministry of Rites to supervise these things, he and Gu Qiang married that day, he can also be present.

　　"See the ninth prince." The new Minister of Rites is a young man, I heard that it is also a new class of the scholar, Shen Qianshan look at the person in front of him, but it seems that there is not much spirit, not like a spirited, but rather like a frosted eggplant.

　　"This king asks you, why is it that on this dossier, next to this king's unnamed name, there is no addition of this king's royal consort? But you do things wrong, put this king's things did not put in mind?"

　　The Minister of Rites does not dare to offend the Ninth Prince Shen Qianshan, even if he has always been, are not very involved in the imperial government, after all, is also the royal family of the Ninth Prince, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, it is not that the subordinate work is not good, just, you and Miss Gu's marriage has not yet been reached, the wedding could not be carried out to completion, so can not be Miss Gu's writing on the imperial family rolls, Miss Gu's, and now also simply is not your royal consort."

　　After finishing these words with trepidation, the Minister of Rites only dared to raise his head, the Shen Qianshan in front of him had a grave expression, at a glance, he was in contemplation, "Your Highness, this matter is still a good idea to think about it in the long run, nominally, Ms. Gu is not yet your royal consort, so that is why the contents of the genealogy, the minister does not have the right to modify it either."

　　"You ......"

　　Shen Qianshan thought for a moment, that is true, she is a Minister of Rites, how can these things to say it? The mastermind behind the scene, must still be Shen Zhongbai, as long as the name of the court of Gu did not unload the genealogy of the court of Gu, he will never admit that the court of Gu is his own consort, this trick, but with a very clever ah.

　　Gu Qiangcheng took advantage of Shen Qianshan's effort to go out, secretly changed into male clothes, took the token Shen Qianshan left for herself, and went to the dungeon where Gu Huai'an was being held, and as soon as the dungeon guards saw the token Gu Qiangcheng was holding in her hand, they didn't say anything and let her in.

　　The dungeon was not only dark and damp, but also filled with a very strong smell of blood, making Court Lady Gu almost nauseous, she forced herself to hold back the feeling of her stomach churning as she searched for her brother along the middle aisle, one cell at a time, she was sure that her brother would be fine, but would he really be fine when he was locked up in a place like this?

　　The sound of the whip cracking in the air rang in the ears of Gu Qiang's court, and Gu Qiang's heart vaguely had a bad feeling as she quickened her pace towards the place where the sound of the whip thought up.

　　Gu Huai'an also didn't expect that before he was even convicted, there would be people who would torture him to force him to make a confession. Inside the dungeon, there was no daylight, and Gu Huai'an didn't know whether it was daytime or nighttime, but the guards in the dungeon hadn't done anything excessive to him.

　　Gu Huai'an in prison, there is no way to help himself to prove innocence, but also no yo other things can do, all day is drowsy, but did not expect, today just woke up, was two do not know what origin of the people to frame, tied to the torture rack, no matter how he asked, the opposite side of the people did not want to say the identity of the meaning of a person who brought a bucket of water, in front of their own face into a large handful of salt, but also take the whip Stirred in the bucket of water.

　　"You intended to murder the Third Prince, do you plead guilty?"

　　Gu Huai'an had been living peacefully in jail for several days, not expecting at all that he would be arraigned, or in such a way.

　　He mentally understands that if he admits his guilt, there will be no turning back, Shen Zhongbai should just want to make himself unable to carry on, loose his mouth, and put all the sins on his head and Shen Qianshan, Gu Qiang's head, so that all of them go down together.

　　"Who exactly are you people?" Gu Huai'an knew that it was very likely that Shen Zhongbai was controlling the things behind this, but he did not expect that Shen Zhongbai would cross over all the relevant parts and directly strike at himself, I'm afraid that even Shen Qianshan did not expect that Shen Zhongbai, a prince who had not yet ascended to the throne, and who wasn't even the Crown Prince, would have such a big guts, right?

　　Court Lady Gu groped her way towards the front, the sound of the whip rattling one by one, as if it were, hitting her. That uneasy feeling in Court Lady Gu's heart became more and more obvious, she really couldn't take it anymore.

　　There are two beams of light in front, it should be the interrogation room in the dungeon, Gu Qiangcheng Gu did not care about the people on both sides of the dungeon, and quickly ran towards that side, and as expected, the person who was tied to the torture rack, was Gu Huai'an.

　　"Brother--" Court Lady Gu looked at Gu Huai'an, who was covered in blood from the whip, as if those injuries were hitting her own body as well.

　　The two men who were administering the punishment couldn't recognize Gu Qiang, not to mention that Gu Qiang was now wearing a man's clothes, and the man with the whip was obviously a bit impatient, "Quickly, quickly, go away, or else I'll even beat you together."

　　Court Lady Gu calmed her nerves and took out the token in her hand, "Who are you people, do you know who I am, and how dare you resort to lynching! Do you have any kingly laws in your eyes?"

　　"Brat, our master is the king's law, what good can you do with a token from the prince's house?"

　　Shen Qianshan returned to the Royal Mansion with a heavy heart, since the wedding these days, because things have not been satisfactorily concluded, so he was not able to bring Gu Qiang back to the mountain villa, he returned to the house, but found that Gu Qiang was not in the room, Gu Qiang is not a person who likes to sneak around, where would she go?

　　"Where is the crown princess?" Shen Qianshan directly stopped Liuyun who was walking over with his head down, looking at Liuyun's expression, he seemed to know something, Liuyun had been following Gu Qiang since he was a child, if Gu Qiang was really going to do something, Liuyun would probably know about it.

　　"Slave servant ...... slave servant does not know." Liuyun really has no way to face such a Shen Qianshan who is on the verge of anger, trembling and speaking, as soon as he opens his mouth, he knows that it is definitely impossible to hide.

　　"Where did she go? Don't you test my patience, don't think that if the Princess favors you, I'll treat you as well as she does!"

　　Where has Liuyun seen such a scene, so scared that he knelt on the ground at once, "Your Highness, Liuyun is wrong, Liuyun doesn't dare. Wangfei she, Wangfei she went to the dungeon ......"

　　"The dungeon? What is she doing there!"

　　"Your Highness, Your Highness she is worried about the Grand Duke, that is why she went back to ......."

　　"Ridiculous!"

　　He should have known that Court Lady Gu was not a person who could calm down, as soon as he was not by her side, she acted in such a spirited manner, which was simply irrational, and if Shen Zhongbai's people were to run into her, how could that be good!

　　"You are bold, now the emperor's position is not yet known, but you have already gotten the throne for your master?" Gu Qiang court lady had a disdainful look on her face, these two people, must be Shen Zhongbai's people, Shen Qianshan is afraid that he has just returned to his residence now, when he rushes over, I'm afraid that it will be a very long time, he himself can only be strong now, and the opposite side of these two people confronted.

　　The injuries on Gu Huai'an's body made him unable to breathe in pain, but he was even more afraid, afraid that his sister would do something impulsively, "Female court officials, you should leave ......"

　　Gu Huai'an held on to all his strength, wanting to get Court Lady Gu to leave quickly, but he didn't expect that this sister of his, who was so stubborn in nature, would still be confronting the two people across from him.

　　Although Court Lady Gu did not lose her momentum, but in reality, after all, it is a woman with no hands, the opposite side of the man did not bother to continue to delay with Court Lady Gu, reached out and yanked Court Lady Gu's arm, telling her to fling it aside, "I'm telling you, if you don't know what's good for you, I'm really going to have to get my hands on you, and even beat you up with me!"

　　Court Lady Gu was thrown dizzy by this, the whole person was not good, it was not easy to get up, but the whip behind her once again fell.

　　The whip landed deeply on Gu Huai'an's leg, these two people in front of him are experienced, they clearly know that the whip hurts the most, it is to hit the limbs, the wounds on Gu Huai'an's hands have not yet grown, he clenched his fists in death, the gauze has long since seeped out of the blood.

　　"Stop!" Court Lady Gu didn't know where the strength came from, but rushed to Gu Huai'an's front, trying to help him block this ......

　　When Court Lady Gu woke up, she was already lying on her own carved wooden bed in the Ninth King's Mansion, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, it was Shen Qianshan in front of her.

　　"Brother!" Court Lady Gu's eyes snapped open, everything that had happened earlier was like a dream, but the blood on Gu Huai'an's body was so real in front of her eyes.

　　Shen Qianshan touched Gu Qiang's head, "It's fine, your brother is in the room he was in before, the doctor is treating his wounds, he'll be fine soon."

　　Court lady Gu had a big bruise on her arm, and her knee was rubbed, Shen Qianshan had never been that impulsive, but it was at that time that he impulsively struck, not even giving those two people any chance to kill them both.

　　Shen Qianshan looked at in his arms, unconscious Gu Qiang, and was tied to the torture rack, covered in blood Gu Huai'an, he suddenly felt useless, he even failed to protect their loved ones ......

　　"I'll check on my brother first then ......"

　　"Nonsense!" Shen Qianshan's expression suddenly changed, "Do you know how dangerous what you did today is? If I hadn't arrived in time, do you know how serious the consequences would have been?"

　　Shen Qianshan really dare not imagine that he would see a scene like that, the whip lashed in his own hand, he realized what an important thing he had done, even if it was only one whip, it was not something that a weak body like Court Lady Gu's could withstand, he did not dare to imagine that he, a person who had been practicing martial arts for many years, had been beaten to the skin and flesh, if he hadn't arrived, what would have been the case for Court Lady Gu?

　　"But that's my brother, the only family I have left in this world, am I going to stand by and watch him die?"
