The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

She would naturally warmly welcome someone who could enter the palace to share her favor and bear the pain of sleeping with her, but forget about the people from the Southwest Palace.

The Emperor already knew about the crimes of the King of Southwest. It was impossible for Yanran to enter the palace, so she didn't need to worry about it. She could just let the Queen Mother and the Princess of Southwest deal with it.

She continued to pretend not to hear and ate the salmon in front of her and the lychees brought by the King of the Southwest.

The King of Southwest was not good, but the lychees he brought were very sweet.

Gu Jianchu ate several of them in a row, and did not forget to take out a small portion and ask Zhu Xia to secretly send it to his sister.

Without the emperor's consent this time, her elder sister naturally could not be by her side. After Zhu Xia delivered the litchis, Gu Jianyue smiled slightly in the direction of Gu Jianchu.

Before the two sisters could take a second look, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Gu Jianyue, blocking their view and shrouding her in shadow. "Miss Gu, you like lychees. There are still some lychees in the Siyi Pavilion. I'll have the servant bring them to you tomorrow."

They came in a hurry and did not bring many lychees. Most of them were presented to the palace. The nobles in the palace took all of them, so naturally they did not fall into the hands of the court officials.

"The Empress has already given the reward, so there's no need to trouble the Prince to make a trip." Gu Jianyue restrained his smile and treated Yan Xu indifferently without being overly enthusiastic.

Because Yan Xu gave her a weird feeling, she didn't really want to get along with this person.

Ever since her divorce from the Prince of Ning'an, Gu Jianyue still trusts her intuition very much.

Gu Jianchu naturally saw what was happening on his sister's side, and a bad premonition arose from the bottom of his heart and gradually grew stronger.

[Tongzi, the marriage partner that the Prince of Southwest has his eyes on isn't my elder sister, right?]

[Oh my god! Did I commit too many sins in my past life and offend the King of Southwest? I'm the one who got hurt. The foolish prince fell for my elder sister, and the legitimate daughter, who appears lively but is actually full of calculations, was arranged to marry my man.]

"No wonder this wily fellow was able to become the King of the Southwest. Even the old prince died at his hands. In terms of scheming, who could outsmart him? The Crown Prince's marriage to my sister is like connecting him to the entire Gu family. Now the Gu family holds military power, and I'm the Empress in the palace. And now Yanran is entering the palace, and they can use the name of our marriage to get me to support her more. This completes your scheming."

Tongzi didn't need to answer, Gu Jianchu believed in his sixth sense very much.

Xie Ci'an followed Gu Jianchu's gaze and looked in the direction of Gu Jianyue, only to see Yan Xu still being attentive to Gu Jianyue.

Xie Ci'an was not surprised by the King of Southwest's ambition.

System, [The Southwest King's target is indeed your elder sister. After all, the Gu family's status in the capital is unmatched. However, your elder sister is only one of the candidates. There are also the eldest princess, the Wanning County Lady, the concubine's daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works and the Jiayang County Lady.]

Does the Southwest Prince have any special hobbies? Why are all the marriage partners he favors divorced? The eldest princess already has a scholar she found in the trash, the Wanning County Lady has a young general pursuing her, and the Zhongshu Ling's concubine's daughter wants to climb the ladder. The Jiayang County Lady only has one daughter, so she definitely doesn't want to marry her off to Lingnan.

After much thought, my elder sister has the highest probability. The Minister of the Central Secretariat and the King of the Southwest of the Gu family can still weigh it clearly.

System: [My dear, you have become smarter.]

Gu Jianchu couldn't help rolling his eyes.

【I'm not stupid, I'm just too lazy to think.】

Yan Xu sat down next to Gu Jianyue and said, "How can it be a bother? The Queen hosted us yesterday, and we have nothing to repay the Queen. If we can please Miss Gu, it might be a way to repay the Queen."

Gu Jianyue's face darkened, and she looked at Yanxu with impatience. "It's the Queen's job to entertain you. Your Highness, don't take it so seriously. Your Highness and I are not familiar with each other. If you continue to sit here, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstandings. Your Highness, please return to the Princess as soon as possible."

Yan Xu was not angry at what Gu Jianyue said. Instead, she said in a good-tempered manner, "Miss Gu and I have become familiar with each other after frequent interactions. When I was in Lingnan, I often heard about the Marquis's military achievements in Liaodong. I went to visit the Marquis in his mansion in the past two days."

Seeing Yan Xu's shameless look, there was nothing Gu Jianyue didn't understand.

My sister's fists were stiff, but luckily she had a good temper and didn't hit Yanxu in the face.

If Yanxu keeps pestering me like this, my sister will probably be fed up. I have to find a way to get rid of Yanxu as soon as possible.

Gu Jianchu's eyes turned and fell on Yanran. She waved, and Yun Heziran beside her leaned forward and asked, "Why is the maidservant that Yanran brought into the palace yesterday not here?"

Yun He whispered, "I heard he was not feeling well and was left at the Siyi Pavilion to rest."

"Pregnant women are most prone to emotional fluctuations. Yunhe, you should send someone to inform the maid of the situation on the scene. She should make plans for the baby in her belly in advance. Once the mistress of the house comes home, there will be no place for her and the baby. Babies who are young are most likely to have miscarriages." Gu Jianchu said everything he needed to say, and Yunhe naturally knew what to do with the rest.

The little maidservant had been serving Yanran since she was young. She must have been exposed to the ways in which the Princess of the Southwest treated the concubines in the mansion.

Once the mistress of the house comes in, she, a woman who has climbed into the prince's bed, will naturally not have a good ending. It is also uncertain whether the child in her belly can be born. She will definitely find a way to make plans for the child in her belly in advance.

If you're going to make a fuss, make it a big one.

Gu Jianchu whispered in Zhuxi's ear, "Find a way to bribe someone close to the Queen Mother to warn Yanran and the young guard that the Queen Mother wants her to enter the palace."

Human nature should be unable to withstand the test.

As long as there is chaos in the Southwest Palace, they will have no time to keep an eye on my sister.

When Xie Ci'an heard Gu Jianchu's words, he knew that the Queen would definitely take action.

Now all they have to do is wait.

Gu Jianchu briefly asked someone to send Yan Xu away for a while, but soon Yan Xu was seen sticking to Gu Jianyue again.

Everyone present was smart and understood what the King of Southwest was thinking.

There were many people who tried to find out what the Marquis of Nanping and his wife were thinking. If the couple had the same idea, the capital might be in trouble again. After all, the Gu family had a queen who was very favored in the harem.

Gu Yuanqing would naturally not marry his daughter to the old man named Wang of the Southwest, and the emperor would certainly not want to agree, but it would be difficult for him to directly refuse openly at the banquet, so he could only be ambiguous to perfunctory everyone.

"I heard that Gu Jianyue and Wen Zhaoyi have a good relationship, so let her come over and reminisce with you." Xie Ci'an saw that Gu Jianchu kept looking in Gu Jianyue's direction worriedly, so he took the initiative to help.
