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

Gu Jianchu leaned against the window and looked at the street beside the moat not far away. At a glance, she saw the carriage of the Gu Mansion.

The carriage had not gone far when it was blocked by a group of people howling. The carriage was forced to stop, and one of the young guards came forward to check the situation.

[Oh no! Yanxu deliberately led my sister's carriage to the moat.]

Then he would use this opportunity to make his sister fall into the water, so that he could seize the perfect moment to rescue her. In full view of everyone, he would pull the deflowered sister out of the water. Even if everyone in the capital spitted, she could be drowned. He simply wanted to manipulate public opinion to get her to marry him.

[What a vicious idea! I absolutely cannot let my sister get near the moat.]

"Your Majesty, I think I have seen my sister. I would like to go down and say hello to her." Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an with expectant eyes.

"I'll go with you." With so many people around, he was really worried about letting Gu Jianchu go down alone.

Xie Ci'an took Gu Jianchu's hand and quickly came to the moat.

At this time, the young guard who had gone to investigate the situation returned and said, "Miss, two small vendors are arguing and are still making a fuss. I'm afraid we won't be able to get through for a while. Should we wait here or take a detour?"

Gu Jianyue already felt that everything was going wrong when she went out today.

First, they were forced to detour to Zhuque Street due to road repairs, and now they encountered two quarreling vendors.

Gu Jianyue lifted the car curtain, revealing a pair of white fingers, "I remember there is a small path next to it."

"Yes, it can lead directly to Chunshui Embroidery Workshop, but that small road is inconvenient for a carriage to pass through." The young guard was trained by Gu Jianbai and was a smart person.

"It's not far. Let's walk over. The carriage will come around to pick me up later." Gu Jianyue was helped out of the carriage by the maid.

She has recently followed her sister's advice and has not gone out. She has left the embroidery workshop to Tinglan. Today, Tinglan sent someone back home in a hurry to say that there was a big order. A businessman wanted to order 100 embroidered screens from their shop, and the time was urgent. She wanted to meet the owner of Chunshui Embroidery Workshop to finalize the order as soon as possible.

As the eldest daughter of the Nanping Marquis's family, she was not short of money. However, she had taken in many girls who were alone or abandoned by their parents. They had to rely on this embroidery workshop for their livelihood. It would be a lie to say that she was not tempted by such a big order.

As soon as they got off the carriage, someone rode past on horseback. The horse was running so fast that the people were scared and kept dodging, fearing that they would be hit by the horse accidentally. Even the two vendors who had been arguing before stopped arguing and kept dodging to the side.

Ting Yu and the young guard reacted quickly and protected Gu Jianyue and retreated to the side. They were afraid of being hit by the horse and kept moving back.

In the crowded crowd, someone pushed her, causing her to be pushed to the edge of the moat. The people who were trying to avoid her kept moving towards her, and she slipped and fell backwards.

When Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an squeezed over, they happened to see Gu Jianyue being pushed into the river, "Sister."

【Yan Xu was watching all this from across the river. 】

"Save people first." Xie Ci'an ordered Wen Zhu and Chong Feng beside him in a cold voice.

The two of them tacitly agreed that one of them would stay with Xie Ci'an to protect the emperor and empress. Wen Zhu jumped from the crowd to the edge of the moat. He looked around and reacted quickly to pull the rope from one of the vendors' carts and threw it towards Gu Jianyue.

Wen Zhu injected strength into the rope in his hand. At the moment when Gu Jianyue was about to fall into the water, the rope coiled around Gu Jianyue's waist. He pulled the rope hard, and the rope climbed tight around Gu Jianyue's body.

Gu Jianyue looked down in fear, only to find that his body was only an inch away from falling into the river.

"Why don't you help?" Wen Zhu coldly ordered the crowd watching the excitement around him.

After Wen Zhu's shout, some people in the crowd reacted and rushed to help pull the rope. A cruise ship happened to be passing by below and also rushed forward to help.

On the other side, Yan Xu saw that her plan was ruined and a ferocious look appeared on her face.

Now that he had no prey, he naturally had no intention of jumping. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, someone kicked him from behind, and he fell into the water like a kite with a broken string.

After doing all this, Gu Jianchu hid himself among the crowd, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

Then someone in the noisy crowd shouted, "Help! Someone has fallen into the water."

If the woman had fallen into the water before, they would have jumped in to save her. If it was the daughter of a wealthy family, she could have married into the wealthy family and become a son-in-law. But it happened to be a man, and everyone lost interest instantly.

Yan Xu didn't know how long she had been struggling in the water. Finally, a servant came and hurriedly threw down a rope and pulled her up.

After Yanxu was rescued to the shore, the onlookers dispersed.

Gu Jianyue was taken back to the restaurant's private room by Gu Jianchu and others. "Are you okay, sister? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Gu Jianyue's emotions were gradually pulled back from her panic, "Achu, I'm fine."

Gu Jianyue's gaze finally fell on Wen Zhu. "Lord Wen, I have no way of repaying you for saving my life. I will prepare a generous gift and come to thank you someday."

Wen Zhu followed the emperor all day, collecting intelligence for him and handling those secret matters. He looked decisive and majestic, but he was still a man after all. When Gu Jianyue thanked him, a layer of shyness instantly climbed up his face and he even stuttered when he spoke. "Miss Gu, there is no need to be so polite. If you want to thank someone, thank the emperor. It was the emperor who ordered his subordinates to save you."

If the court officials saw Wen Zhu like this, they would probably suspect that Wen Zhu had touched something dirty.

[There's a reason why Wen Zhu hasn't gotten married at such an old age.]

[With this mouth, the moment he opens his mouth, he turns girls away and makes them feel like they are not getting to know each other at all.]

However, Wen Zhu and Ajie are quite a good match. Wen Zhu doesn't seem to have any negative information. It's just that being by the emperor's side has inevitably stained his hands with blood. This bloodshed doesn't seem to affect his merits, after all, he only dealt with corrupt officials in the court.

[One of these two people is dull, and the other has no plans in this regard for the time being. This road is indeed a long and arduous one.]

"Your Majesty must be thanked, and Lord Wen must also be thanked for his kindness." Gu Jianyue's expression was firm. Although he looked a little embarrassed, he seemed to be coated with a layer of shining light that made people unable to take their eyes off him.

【Wen Zhu's eyes have become gentle.】

After Gu Jianchu's reminder, Xie Ci'an turned around and took a look, and indeed saw that Wen Zhu's eyes looked a little unnatural.

Like Gu Jianchu, he has no intention of interfering in marriage matters.

Before Wen Zhu could react, there were two regular knocks on the door. Xiao Fuzi's voice came through the door, "Your Majesty, someone has struck the drum for hearing reports. The person has been taken to the Dali Temple."
