Although Shen Zhongbai couldn't possibly not hear the meaning of Gu Linjiang's words, he just didn't want to talk back in front of so many ministers, he was at least the emperor, if he lost his temper in front of so many ministers, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing face.

"What Prime Minister Gu means by this, is he blaming me for not taking good care of the Ninth Wangfei? That's what led to the fire in the palace and the death of the Ninth Wangfei?" Shen Zhongbai frivolously looked at Shen Qiangwei beside him, and Shen Qiangwei also understood Shen Zhongbai's meaning and continued with Shen Zhongbai's words.

"Does Prime Minister Gu know? What caused the fire in the Qingxin Palace? This palace is heavily guarded, if not a top expert, absolutely impossible to get in and out, this palace, who is most likely to harm the Nine Wangfei, should not need my concubine to remind Prime Minister Gu, right? Prime Minister Gu should still manage his own family's affairs and not get involved in the palace anymore, this harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, can this foreign minister intervene in the harem?"

Gu Qiangwei from Shen Qiangwei and Shen Zhongbai two people's exchanges, but also obviously can see, Shen Qiangwei all is in accordance with the meaning of Shen Zhongbai do, no wonder Shen Qiangwei can be in such a long time, has been in the palace to retain their own position, is indeed a smart person.

"The old minister wouldn't dare, the court's daughter is her own blessing, she can't blame anyone else." Gu Linjiang how could he not hear it, the meaning of this word is just reminding himself that the fire in the palace is likely to be set by Gu Zhiying, but until now, he has not gotten half a bit of news about Gu Zhiying, which means that Shen Zhongbai wants to let himself off the hook by using this matter, and he's definitely looking for trouble if he brings it up again for no reason.

Shen Zhongbai piled on the smile, did not make any response to Gu Linjiang's words, looking at Gu Qiang's court officials is even more uncomfortable, it was not easy to survive until after the banquet, Qi Bai secretly went to the imperial garden to find an opportunity to communicate with the Southern Qi ambassadors individually, and Gu Qiang was forced to be retained by Shen Siyin, in the name of exchanging feelings.

Two people are very embarrassed to walk in the path of the imperial garden, or Gu Qiang court first opened the mouth, this South Qi may not be worse than the North An country, why this princess is not willing to marry to South Qi? He is a commoner, Shen Zhongbai so breaking the rules to marry Shen Siyin, I'm afraid that when he comes out, Shen Zhongbai will have to be annoyed again.

"Princess, don't you look down on me? Why didn't you have any objections when you knew that the Emperor was going to give you in marriage to me?"

Court Lady Gu could only hope that Shen Shiyin, as long as she was unwilling to marry, Shen Zhongbai might also withdraw his order, but that would most likely be after the Southern Qi envoys left.

Shen Siyin kicked the small stones on the roadside in boredom, "How far away is Nanqi, I don't want to marry over there, that's why I accepted my royal brother's bestowal of marriage, anyway, I don't hate you, I don't really have anything to lose by marrying you, on the contrary, it's just right to help my royal brother."

Shen Siyin said to help what exactly is the meaning of the Gu court officials are not a fool, naturally can hear to understand, Shen Zhongbai is to want to take the Gusu family to their own use, but also exactly Shen Siyin so a reason, they do not have to enter the court as an official, and those ministers to deal with, also become more secure, will not threaten to his throne.

"But it doesn't matter that the person you married isn't the one you love?" Court Lady Gu had experienced quite a few things, but she always felt that, in some things, she was far less able to see through than they were, let's say Shen Qiangwei, let's say Shen Siyin now.

"That doesn't matter, I don't hate you now anyway."

"Then I have a way, I accept the emperor's gift of marriage, and become your emperor's son-in-law, but this marriage, we delayed to three years later, if that time, you did not find your intended, I will continue to be your emperor's son-in-law, if you find your intended, we will cancel the marriage contract, so can it be good?"

Court Lady Gu had carefully considered it, if it was according to Gusu Liang and Gu Huai'an, if they temporarily claimed to be sick, they might not be able to hold out for a very long time, what's more, right now, Shen Shiyin made it clear that she didn't have any interest in herself, in that case, it would be better for the two of them to work together a bit, to cover this matter up, it's always a good thing to do first.

"This idea of yours is quite chic, everyone else is squeezing their heads out, wanting to be me, the emperor's son-in-law, why are you still shirking it? You have to know, imperial brother gave this opportunity to you, this is a position that how many people can only dream of wanting to get." Shen Siyin is short in stature, even if Gu Qiang's body is not tall, but also taller than the average woman, in front of Shen Siyin, it is also considered to be enough.

"The grass people are used to living freely and happily, so they don't like the life in the palace too much, I think the princess is the same, she may not like this extra horse harnessed by the emperor for you, right?" This love-hate relationship in the royal family is instantaneous, even if Shen Siyin really likes herself, as long as she can still hold out for two or three years, she doesn't believe that Shen Qianshan won't come back for three years ...

"Do as you say over there, anyway, I don't really like you, as long as you don't send me off to make peace and get too far away from my royal brother."

When Court Lady Gu heard this, her heart tightened, it seems that this Shen Shiyin and Shen Zhongbai brother and sister two people are really good relationship, just, he can guarantee that in these three years, Shen Shiyin will not be sent to peace, but there is no way to guarantee that the two of them brother and sister can be together all the time, Shen Zhongbai harmed himself so much, he will definitely not let go of him again.

"Your Majesty, if Princess Siyin is promised to a commoner, isn't that a bit unfair to the princess? The old minister has the audacity to ask the Emperor to take back his order, even if it means sending the Princess to a peace marriage, it is better than marrying the Princess to a boy from the marketplace, so that the Princess won't suffer in the future."

Gu Linjiang looks like a bitter old minister, Shen Zhongbai understand what he is playing in his heart, the Gusu family in Kyoto, although there is no official power, but the officials of his family's power will be more or less scrupulous some of the Gu Linjiang the old fox, may also have long been staring at the Gusu Ran, or else, why would he be so opposed to their own Shen Siyin married to the Gusu Ran things. The thing of Gusu Ran?

"Gu prime minister's concern is really a little redundant, after all, this Gusu family is also considered to be a big family in the capital, SiYin and this Gusu family's young son, has long been acquainted with each other, the two of them are also considered to understand each other, since the SiYin did not say anything doubtful, the prime minister also do not have to follow the worry, I have my own arrangements."

When Gu Linjiang arranged the seating just now, Gusu Ran was at his side, and he had wanted to take this opportunity to get close to this young son of the Gusu family, but he didn't think that, after so many things had happened, Shen Zhongbai had also long been ready to choose Gusu Ran as Shen Shiyin's emperor's son-in-law, and had caught himself off guard.

Qi Bai secretly followed behind the Southern Qi envoy, watched as he walked into a bamboo forest in the middle of the Imperial Garden, and hurriedly followed him in himself, Dark Night had long since discovered that there was someone behind him, but there was no way to ascertain the identity of the person behind him, so he had been luring him into the woods, and the two of them exchanged blows, and he himself might not necessarily have the upper hand.

Qi Bai watched the envoy of Southern Qi walk deeper and deeper, his heart also began to gradually suspect, the figure of this person, he really is more and more familiar, although it can be determined that it is definitely not the king, but Qi Bai still keep vigilant, followed.

Dark Night walked to the end of the dense forest, his heart is still haunted by the conversation between Shen Zhongbai and Gu Linjiang at the banquet just now, listening to what they meant, the ninth princess must have been long gone, if that is the case, if the king knows the news, the scene is not something he can control.

Both Dark Night and Qi Bai's hands were holding flying daggers, there was still a distance between the two, no one spoke, Qi Bai didn't show up either, Dark Night slowly turned his head, "This brother doesn't know what is the purpose of tracking me for such a long time? Why don't you show your face, and the two of us can have a good talk?"

Shen Zhongbai had a deep heart, maybe he would really send someone to assassinate the ambassadors of Southern Qi, or to control himself, the darts in Darkness's hand had not been put down, definitely not able to let Shen Zhongbai drill a hole.

Qi Bai walked out from amongst the bushes around him, "Dare I ask where the gentleman is from?" Although Qi Bai did not dare to confirm, but from the opposite side of this Southern Qi envoy's way of speaking, he basically had already associated the identity of the other party, after all, it was the people who had worked together for so many years, naturally, they knew each other well.

"I'm naturally from Southern Qi, can it be that I, a Southern Qi envoy, am still a person from another country?" Dark Night heard the person opposite ask himself such a question, his heart was even more puzzled, he didn't dare to get closer, but secretly observed the position of the person opposite.

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

The moonlight outside wasn't very bright, Darkness quickly crouched down and picked up the token on the ground, a glance could confirm that this thing was indeed Qi Bai's, "What exactly are you? Why do you have this thing?"

There has been so much going on in the recent past that no one dares to let their guard down.

"I am a guard by the side of the king." Qi Bai still didn't show his face, fearing that his misjudgment would lead to the exposure of his identity, so he could only maintain such a distance to speak to the person across from him, but this time, he took down the voice-changing sticker that was attached near his throat.

"Qi Bai ..." dark night as soon as he heard the voice can hear the identity of the person, fast not to walk two steps, to the front of him, "fortunately you are in, eh, you are not... "
