Chapter 561 A woman's ambition

Counting it, Shen Yi has not seen this former Qinhuai famous prostitute for a long time.

I can't remember the exact time, anyway, at least after I became a Jinshi, I haven't seen him again.

It should be...about two and a half years.

In two and a half years, Shen Yi has changed from the unknown Shen Qi back then to the current Master Shen who is a fifth-rank counseling doctor.

Compared with the woman in front of him, Shen Yi's encounter actually seemed very ordinary.

Because the woman in front of her is very likely to become the concubine of Da Chen and the concubine of the emperor's harem from the status of a prostitute.

Shen Yi stood at the door, hesitated for a while, and asked: "How about, why don't I just stand at the door and talk?"

Gu Hengbo showed a smile: "There is no reason to put the guests outside the door, isn't it a big disrespect? If Mr. Shen insists on doing this, the little girl will have to close the door to thank the guests."

Shen Yi shook his head helplessly, bit the bullet and walked into this small courtyard.

After he walked in, he looked back at Xu Liuniang, and said, "Little sister, wait for me outside for a while, I'll go out after talking to everyone."

Xu Liuniang responded, and then said with a smile to Gu Hengbo: "Is there anything Elder Sister Gu wants to buy? I'll bring it to you when I come back."

Gu Hengbo smiled and shook his head: "I don't need anything for the time being, and when I am in need, I will trouble my sister."

Xu Liuniang nodded, she first turned around, then looked back with some worry, and then slowly left.

After Xu Liuniang left, Shen Yi looked around the yard. The yard was not too big or small, but fortunately, it had all internal organs, including pavilions and wells.

Shen Yi pointed to the pavilion and sighed: "Gu Da... Miss Gu, where should we sit?"

Originally, Shen Yi wanted to address everyone, but thinking about it, this address was what he used to call everyone in the brothel, and now it is not very respectful to call it now.

Gu Hengbo nodded with a smile, then looked back at the maid behind him, and after ordering to serve tea, he followed Shen Yi and walked to the bottom of the pavilion.

After both of them sat down, Gu Hengbo took a look at Shen Yi first, and asked, "Your Majesty asked Mr. Shen to come?"

Shen Yi nodded: "Yes."

At this moment, the servant girl brought up the tea, Gu Hengbo put a cup in front of Shen Yi, then put a cup in front of himself, and said softly: "Are you here to execute me, or to let me out?"

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi frowned, then put down the half-filled tea, and said helplessly, "Why did Miss Gu say that?"

"It seems in the scriptures."

Gu Hengbo covered his mouth and smiled: "It is said that the royal family is ruthless. I was just a plaything, dispensable, but now I am suddenly pregnant, which is a trouble for Your Majesty."

She looked up at Shen Yi, and asked back, "Isn't it?"

Shen Yi wanted to nod subconsciously, but he quickly reacted and shook his head: "As a courtier, don't dare to guess the holy will."

Hearing Shen Yi's answer, Gu Hengbo showed another smile: "Mr. Shen is really amazing, and he speaks impeccably."

She blinked at Shen Yi and asked, "What official is Mr. Shen now?"

Shen Yi thought for a while, and replied, "I'd like to advise you, doctor."

Whether it is a military doctor or a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, it seems a bit ostentatious when you say it. Although a fifth-rank doctor is of high grade, many officials can also shade to fifth-rank, so it is not so conspicuous when you say it .

"A fifth-rank official."

Gu Hengbo's eyes shifted, and he said softly: "Mr. Shen is only 20 years old this year, it's really amazing."

"The next thing is nothing to worry about."

Shen Yi was almost diverted from the topic by this woman. After coughing, he said, "I'm here today, mainly to talk about Miss Gu."

Gu Hengbo squinted his eyes and smiled, "Me? What's my business?"

Shen Yi became serious and asked, "Miss Gu, do you want to enter the palace?"

Gu Hengbo smiled, and didn't answer directly, but just said: "It's fine to go anywhere, as long as I don't continue to be locked up in this small courtyard. I was locked up for two years, and I'm about to go crazy."

"Entering the palace is also locked."

Shen Yi reminded: "It's just a bigger cage."

"That's better than here, how can I say..."

Gu Hengbo said lightly: "It is also a cage that all women in the world want to enter."

Shen Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.

In fact, his question is somewhat redundant.

Because since Gu Hengbo is pregnant, it means that she is not a silly and sweet person.

The brothel has a method of contraception. She and the emperor have not been together for a month or two, but for more than two years. During these two years, the emperor has been out of the palace quite a lot.

In other words, she was pregnant long ago.

She is only pregnant now, which can only show that she can control it herself.

If you guess with a villain's mind, this Master Gu's thoughts are probably very serious. In the first year or two, she couldn't figure out the emperor's mind, nor the palace's attitude towards her, so she didn't dare to let her go. She was pregnant by herself, so she just obediently behaved like a bird in a cage.

But now, she has already made a decision...or rather, she thinks she has made a decision about the emperor, so she dared to get herself pregnant.

After all, with her status, pregnancy is risky.

Once the empress dowager finds out, the child may be fine, but she herself may become a confidant.

After Gu Hengbo finished speaking, he looked up at Shen Yi and smiled softly: "Young Master Shen, I'm already dead outside, am I not?"

Shen Yi looked calm and did not answer this sentence.

But the answer is yes, Gu Hengbo's original identity has already "goed south" with Xu Fu, and it won't be long before the news of her death in the south due to acclimatization and illness will spread back to Jiankang.

Shen Yi sat on the spot, looked down at the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "Originally, I shouldn't have done this, but it's a coincidence that I once knew about this matter, and this matter fell into place again." on my head."

He sighed, and said: "There are two ways now, the first one is to find a low-ranking official family, put Miss Gu in the house, and take her as a daughter, and then when His Majesty selects the beautiful girls, Go to participate in the talent show, and welcome Miss Gu into the palace."

Gu Hengbo's face was calm, she looked at Shen Yi, and said, "I've been pregnant for three months."

This sentence means that it is too late to do so.

It would take a month or two to handle things like draft girls, and Gu Hengbo might be pregnant by then, and a pregnant woman entering the palace would be a huge anecdote.

"The second one is to arrange a high-ranking status for Ms. Gu, let His Majesty come to the door, and if she accidentally sees you, Ms. Gu, then directly welcome you into the palace."

"It's just that, firstly, it's not easy to find high-ranking officials, and secondly..."

Shen Yi looked up at Gu Hengbo, and said, "Secondly, the descendants will notice."

He reminded: "The current queen mother and empress... are all surnamed Sun."

"That's the last one."

Gu Hengbo chose the second one without changing his face.

"When things come to an end, I'm afraid it will be useless."

She looked around the yard, and said calmly, "Even if you die outside, it's better than staying in this small cage for the rest of your life."
