Gu Jin immediately perked up when he heard this, "Sister Miaorong, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond, so don't go back on your word!"

"Hmph!" Xie Miaorong snorted coldly, obviously not taking Gu Jin's words seriously.

It was not until the eunuch delivered Emperor Hui'an's oral instructions, praising Gu Jin from head to toe and inside out for a long time that Xie Miaorong came back to her senses.

Your Majesty really came here to praise her?

She wouldn't have used any shameful means to seduce His Majesty, right?

It was not until Marquis Yongchang explained the whole story that everyone understood what was going on.

Mrs. Huo pointed at Gu Jin and scolded, "You little bastard, you didn't even tell us about such a big thing, and you made us all worry about you!"

Gu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and apologized, "Grandmother, Jin'er was wrong. But there was a reason. His Majesty was worried that the news would leak out, so he didn't allow us to disclose it to the public."

Since the emperor is not here, all the blame is put on him!

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Huo patted Gu Jin's hand, feeling relieved.

She didn't believe that Gu Jin would do such a ridiculous thing, but now she felt relieved to see that Gu Jin was brave and resourceful.

Master Xie and others seemed extremely embarrassed.

Master Xie twitched his lips, cleared his throat and said, "The third wife is the same. We are all family. There is no need to hide things from each other. It scares everyone."

Su rolled her eyes fiercely, "I don't know who was calling for war and killing just now. I don't know what kind of relatives would be like this!"

Master Xie's face tightened and he pursed his lips without saying anything. In his heart, he only hated how lucky Gu Jin was to be so lucky as to be credited by her again!

Xie Miaorong tried her best to keep her presence low, but Gu Jin still tilted his head and gave her a big smile, "What did Sister Miaorong say just now?

If His Majesty rewards me, Sister Miaorong seems to want to eat the teacup? A gentleman's word is as good as gold! "

Xie Miaorong's face flushed red. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she stamped her feet in shame and anger, "I'm a woman, not a gentleman. Who would make such a boring bet with you!"

Xie Miaorong pretended to be angry and walked away, just in case she didn't have to face this embarrassing scene again.

Mrs. Huo shook her head upon seeing this. Miaorong was impatient and very self-conceited. Fortunately, Concubine Wan had no intention of letting her become a princess, otherwise such a temperament would only bring disaster.

Huo looked at Xie Ran meaningfully and made a secret decision in his heart.

……

After leaving Songhe Hall, Xie Qing looked coldly at Gu Jin and Xie Ran walking side by side, talking and laughing.

No wonder Xie Ran was so confident, it turned out all this was a trap set by the two of them!

Not only were they innocent, but they had made contributions. Xie Ran also showed up in front of His Majesty. As a result, the gap between him and Xie Ran would only get bigger.

"Does Gu Jin have some magic power? How could she be so lucky that the opportunity to make a contribution comes to her!" Gu Rou felt sick to her stomach. She could feel the acid rising up from her stomach, even making her feel nauseous for a moment.

Xie Qing glanced at her coldly, his tone gloomy, "Even if I gave you a chance, can you seize it? You are overestimating your own abilities!"

After all, it was Xie Ran who took advantage of Gu Jin. If he had married Gu Jin in the first place, he would be the one getting the honor now!

Xie Qing turned away, and Gu Rou was so angry that her blood boiled and she accidentally vomited.

This bastard Xie Qing actually made her vomit!

It is said that Xia Zhi made a fierce complaint as soon as he returned to the palace.

Prince Heng was surprised when he heard this. "Did my grandmother and uncle really say that? In their hearts, Gu Jin is closer to me than my mother and I?"

"Not only that? Gu Jin even said that if Your Majesty wants to kill her, she must get permission from His Majesty!" Xia Zhi added fuel to the fire, making Concubine Wan so angry that she smashed another set of her favorite cups.

"Okay! I will go before His Majesty and kill my relatives for the sake of justice!"

Xia Zhi happily followed him, but as soon as he arrived at Taiji Hall, he heard His Majesty ordering people to go to Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.

Concubine Wan was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and apologized, which stunned Emperor Hui'an.

"Wan Fei, what are you doing?"

Concubine Wan pointed to the sky and swore, "Your Majesty, I swear that Prince Heng and I knew nothing about this matter. It was all done by Gu Jin alone."

"Hmm..." Emperor Hui'an didn't know what to say for a moment.

If you don’t know, then you don’t know. There’s nothing to swear about.

Seeing that Emperor Hui'an remained silent, Concubine Wan was even more worried, and hurriedly distanced herself from the matter and said, "Since I entered the palace, I have strictly followed the palace rules and rarely interacted with my mother's family. Prince Heng did not dare to overstep his boundaries and never got close to Xie Ran and the others.

Therefore, we know nothing about the Marquis' Mansion, so please trust me, Your Majesty."

Concubine Wan's eyes were filled with tears, which confused Emperor Hui'an. "You stand up and talk first."

"If Your Majesty does not believe me, I will not get up." Concubine Wan was choked with sobs and looked at Emperor Hui'an with tears in her eyes.

Prince Heng also knelt obediently behind Concubine Wan, not daring to move.

Emperor Hui'an sighed, stepped forward and helped Concubine Wan up, "Concubine Wan, I didn't expect you to be so righteous."

Concubine Wan raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Emperor Hui'an say, "This time, Gu Jin helped me catch the person who stole the autumn examination questions. I can take this opportunity to clean up the government. She and Xie Ran have really made great contributions this time.

I wanted to issue an imperial decree to reward you, but I didn't expect you to be so honest and not take any credit for it. I was really moved."

Emperor Hui'an turned around and told the palace maid, "I won't give her any money. She has already received enough this time. Please praise Gu Jin for me!"

The money she made made him jealous, so he wouldn't reward her!

Prince Heng: “…” He just missed out on the credit?

Concubine Wan: “…” She broke another set of cups for nothing?
