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

Yun He glanced at Wen Zhaoyi cautiously.

A bad premonition suddenly lingered in Wen Zhaoyi's heart.

Gu Jianchu had a cold expression on his face. Zhu Xia supported him and led him further away from the Qingliang Palace. "It's okay. Go ahead."

"Today, I spotted a sneaky little girl in the courtyard of Kunning Palace. When I got closer, I realized it was Miss Rouge, who was with Concubine Wen. She was burying something under the Albizia Julibrissin tree in the courtyard."

"I don't know what Miss Yanzhi buried, but I have already asked Doctor Lin to come and take a look."

After Yunhe finished speaking, he looked at Wen Zhaoyi beside him with a suggestive look.

Even though Gu Jianchu didn't ask any questions, the unfriendly looks from these servants were enough to make Wen Zhaoyi panic. She plopped to her knees and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't order Yanzhi to do that. I don't know why Yanzhi went to bury something under the tree in Kunning Palace."

After calming down, Wen Zhaoyi immediately thought of the conversation they had just overheard.

Madam Wen had said before that she would find a way to prevent the Queen from giving birth to a child. Could it be related to Yanzhi's actions?

The sun shone directly on Wen Zhaoyi. Although it was very hot, she only felt a chill on her back, and her fingers under her sleeves clenched into fists again.

Her good mother would do anything and sacrifice anyone for her uncle's family. She probably never thought that if the things she had planned were exposed, she would be implicated.

Her mother didn't even think about her life or death.

Zhu Xia's original good attitude towards Wen Zhaoyi vanished into thin air when she heard that she was planning to harm her own queen. "She's really good at shifting the blame. Yanzhi was a maid brought into the palace as a dowry by Wen Zhaoyi. Without Wen Zhaoyi's orders, Yanzhi would have dared to do anything that would go against her master."

Even the other people serving the Queen looked at Concubine Wen with anger.

"What did Yanzhi confess?" Gu Jianchu asked coldly.

Yun He shook his head. "Yanzhi didn't say anything. It's not right for me to make a decision on my own. I'll wait for the Queen's decision."

"Is Yanzhi a member of Zhaoyi's palace, or is she Zhaoyi's dowry? Does Zhaoyi really not know Yanzhi's behavior?" Gu Jianchu gave Wen Zhaoyi a chance to choose.

Wen Zhaoyi felt as if her whole body was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, as if she was the only one in the world. She raised her eyes to glance at the Qingliang Palace not far away, and occasionally heard a faint sound.

She closed her eyes, as if making a major decision. "Your Majesty, I truly do not know about this matter. Although Yanzhi is my maidservant, she did not grow up with me. Instead, she was given to me by my uncle when I got married. He said it was a token of his gratitude for my entry into the palace, and that he would send her to serve me."

Wen Zhaoyi glanced in the direction of Qingliang Palace and said, "My mother and my uncle have been secretly together. My mother has been living in the palace all this time. Yanzhi is my uncle's lover. I suspect someone else is behind Yanzhi's actions. Please, Queen Mother, investigate the truth and clear my name."

"Your Majesty..." Zhu Xia looked at Gu Jianchu uncertainly.

They were following Gu Jianchu just now and could hear the conversation between the two people inside clearly.

"Yunhe led a few young eunuchs to tie up the two men who were committing adultery in the palace and brought them before the Empress Dowager."

"Zhu Xia, please ask the Emperor to go to the Empress Dowager's palace and explain clearly what happened in the palace today. After all, the Earl of Yong'an is a very important official in the court, and it will be difficult for me to deal with him."

"Send Yanzhi to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation. Make sure Yanzhi confesses the real mastermind behind this." After Gu Jianchu gave the order, everyone carried it out.

Gu Jianchu stepped forward and helped Consort Wen up from the ground. "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not wrongly accuse anyone."

Wen Zhaoyi was supported by Gu Jianchu and did not kneel, but simply bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting me."

Wen Zhaoyi followed Gu Jianchu to the Cining Palace.

Qingliang Palace and Cining Palace are in completely two different directions and are quite far apart. When Gu Jianchu came over, Xie Ci'an had already arrived and was sitting in the armchair with a sullen look on his face. The empress dowager would glance in Xie Ci'an's direction from time to time.

She asked the emperor, but he only said that it was the queen who asked him to come over and asked what the matter was, and the emperor did not say anything.

The Queen Mother was a little unsure what tricks the couple were playing.

However, since the emperor and empress had a harmonious relationship, the situation inside and outside the palace was developing rapidly at a rate that she could hardly control.

While the Empress Dowager was daydreaming, Yunhe took two people who were tied up and threw them into the courtyard of the Cining Palace. When Yunhe broke in, the two people were still making love on the bed. Before they could react, they were tied up by the people Yunhe brought with them.

If it weren't for the bad influence, Yunhe wouldn't even want to give them anything to wear and would just throw them over.

In the end, due to the face of the palace, Earl Yong'an was given a pair of underwear to barely cover himself. As for Madam Wen, she was kindly given a chest-length skirt, revealing a pair of snow-white arms with marks hanging outside.

Yunhe did not prepare a sedan chair for them, but just carried them all the way from Qingliangtai, attracting countless palace maids and eunuchs to stop and watch. The two men felt ashamed and wanted to bury their heads in their bodies.

Yunhe used a lot of force, and Earl Yong'an lost his balance and fell to the ground. Even more unfortunate was that his face hit the ground first, instantly choking a layer of skin. As for Madam Wen, she was afraid and hid behind Earl Yong'an.

The palace maids serving in the Cining Palace ran out to join in the fun, not knowing what was going on.

Xie Ci'an, who was sitting next to the empress dowager, watched the scene leisurely, with a cold smile on his lips, and slowly turned the jade ring on his hand.

When he saw the Queen Mother sitting in the first seat, Earl Yong'an struggled to stand up from the ground and trotted to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, save me."

"Nonsense, what are you doing? Hurry up and untie Earl Yong'an." The Queen Mother's face was extremely ugly.

This must be the work of the emperor and empress.

Yun, Cheng Song and others remained indifferent.

Cuiwei was a female member of the family, and faced with the naked Earl of Yong'an, she was unable to step forward to help.

The Queen Mother, who saw this scene, rubbed her aching brow and spoke again, "What are you standing there for?"

"In my opinion, your Majesty, please don't rush to untie Earl Yong'an. There must be a reason why he is tied up like this." Xie Ci'an tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his whole body emitting a lazy but irresistible aura of pressure.

The Queen Mother's voice was slightly weaker than before, but still firm. "No matter what the reason is, you can't tie someone up like this. After all, the Earl of Yong'an is an important official in the court. How can he face the public in the future if he is stripped and tied up like this?"

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the voice of the Queen's arrival was heard from outside.

Then a graceful figure was seen walking in from outside. She was wearing a dark blue dress with a light cloud-colored gauze dress on top. Her face was as white as snow, and seemed to be coated with a faint halo in the sunlight.

She wore a set of pearl head ornaments in her hair, which made her look extremely noble.

When they saw Consort Wen and Gu Jianchu coming together, Madam Wen and Earl Yong'an both trembled and couldn't help feeling guilty.
