The Grand Tutor wants to be the Queen every day and is going crazy

Chapter 170 Your Majesty, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Here

Jun Lingyue's departure seemed to take away the last bit of tranquility, and a faint atmosphere of sadness filled the air. Gu Qingluo's eyes still unconsciously followed Jun Lingyue's receding back, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Gu Qingluo like a ghost.

Ji Yanchen had an unruly smile on his face, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

He stretched out his arms, gently wrapped them around Gu Qingluo's slender waist, and held her tightly in his arms.

He bit Gu Qingluo's earlobe lightly, letting her feel a warm breath blowing on her ear. His voice was full of allure, low and magnetic, and he asked softly: "Your Majesty, are you still looking at the Regent, huh?"

Gu Qingluo's body trembled slightly, and a panic surged in her heart.

She tried to break free from Ji Yanchen's embrace, but he held her tighter, making her unable to move.

She said with some embarrassment: "Ji Yanchen, where did you come from? Do you know that we were almost discovered by the Regent just now!"

However, Ji Yanchen seemed not to have heard her words and continued, "Your Majesty, am I not more handsome than the Regent?" There was a hint of unwillingness and provocation in his tone.

"Your Majesty, please look at me, ok?" After saying that, Ji Yanchen kissed Gu Qingluo's neck without hesitation.

Gu Qingluo shrank back at the heat of his lips. She tried to break free from his embrace, but unexpectedly, Ji Yanchen held her even tighter.

"Ji Yanchen, are you listening to me!" Gu Qingluo glared at him, anger burning in his eyes.

Ji Yanchen chuckled: "Your Majesty, isn't this a way to resolve the crisis?"

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. I am here!"

"Your Majesty, do you want more? Are you satisfied, huh?"

Gu Qingluo was so angry that her smiling face turned red: "You bastard, you keep telling dirty jokes!"

Ji Yanchen restrained his smile, his eyes became extremely serious: "Your Majesty, since the moment I first saw you, my heart has only beat for you, and the only person I want to serve is Your Majesty!"

Just then, the bells in the palace rang, breaking the brief silence.

Gu Qingluo took a deep breath and said, "Ji Yanchen, if you keep doing this, I will be angry!"

Ji Yanchen loosened his hand, took a step back, and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I was wrong."

However, the moment he lowered his head, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

I dare you next time.

At this time, Qin Hean brought Zheng Xuanran over.

Qin Hean reported to Gu Qingluo what happened in Zheng's mansion. "Your Majesty, the woman who entered Zheng's mansion was a spy."

"She slandered Mr. Zheng, saying that he had an unusual relationship with her, and she also slandered Mr. Zheng for giving her a child."

"Later, the woman revealed her true colors in Zheng's residence and went to meet a man in black late at night. After she was finally caught by us, she committed suicide because she didn't want to give the man away!"

After listening to this, Gu Qingluo looked at Zheng Xuanran and said, "Thank you for selling your body, Lord Zheng."

"Master Zheng has been wronged."

Zheng Xuanran quickly bowed his head: "Your Majesty, this is what I should do."

"In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the imperial examination system, I am willing to sacrifice myself!"

Gu Qingluo smiled and said, "Does the person behind this have any clues?"

Qin Hean frowned, his expression solemn: "Your Majesty, there is no clear clue at present. The woman committed suicide too suddenly, and it seems that she had already intended to die. She did not leave any useful information. We will definitely increase our efforts to track down and not miss any clues."

Gu Qingluo nodded slightly, his eyes deep: "This matter concerns the implementation of the imperial examination system. We must investigate it thoroughly. We must not let the mastermind behind it go unpunished and hinder our dynasty's plan to select talented people."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qin Hean and Zheng Xuanran responded in unison.

Ji Yanchen listened at the side, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and then he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think we can start from the background of that woman, maybe we can find something."

Gu Qingluo looked at Ji Yanchen and nodded: "Lord Ji, what you said makes sense. Lord Qin, you should immediately send someone to investigate the origins of that woman."

"Yes, sir!" Qin Hean accepted the order.

The palace fell into silence for a moment. Gu Qingluo rubbed his brows, feeling worried.

Seeing this, Zheng Xuanran comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. I believe the truth will come out sooner or later."

Gu Qingluo sighed softly: "I hope so."

[As long as I don’t find out who is behind this, there will always be a knife on my neck, ready to kill me at any time.]

[It's not easy to be an emperor, why don't you abdicate and let Ji Yanchen take over. ]

Then, with worry in her eyes, Gu Qingluo asked Ji Yanchen: "What did Gu Sixu find out?"

Ji Yanchen bowed slightly and responded seriously, "The Tenth Prince, I haven't found out anything yet."

Gu Qingluo frowned slightly and stared at Ji Yanchen sharply: "Master Ji, you are not lying to me, are you?"

Ji Yanchen smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, my ability is limited. Please forgive me." His voice was steady, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

Gu Qingluo concealed the doubt in her heart and continued to ask: "Didn't Gu Sixu stay out all night recently? Didn't you find out where he went?"

Ji Yanchen shook his head, "Your Majesty, it seems that he went out just to have fun with others."

After Ji Yanchen said this, he felt a little guilty.

In fact, he had already found out some of Gu Sixu's secrets. However, it was not the right time to tell Gu Qingluo about it.

He knew very well that if he spoke out rashly, it might not only alert the enemy but also make the situation more complicated and dangerous.

Gu Qingluo sighed and said, "I wish, but I'm just overthinking." There was a hint of disappointment and helplessness in her voice.

Then, she continued to talk to herself, "Gu Sixu is just an idle prince." As if to comfort herself, trying to calm her heart.

"I will never kill you."

"If he wanted to kill me, he could have done it a long time ago. Why wait until now?" There was doubt in her tone, but more of it was trust and understanding.

[When the original owner was here, Gu Sixu had more opportunities to attack me, and he didn't have to wait until now. 】

[Gu Sixu is a good person in the original book, and he will never turn evil. ]

[Even if you turn evil, there is a reason! 】

Gu Qingluo frowned and tried hard to think about the possible reasons that may have caused Gu Sixu's change, but he still had no clue.

She sighed, decided not to dwell on the issue, and turned to them and said, "You all go down." Her eyes revealed firmness and determination.

"You all must work together to investigate the person behind this and make sure to find him out!" Her voice was full of majesty and left no room for doubt.

"Yes."

"My minister obeys."

Gu Qingluo rubbed her brows, trying to ease the annoyance in her heart. However, this annoyance did not ease because of her action, but became even heavier.
