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

[Unless *** can know these things. ]

[But *** that zombie is so love-struck that he's afraid of knowing what Li Shicheng has done, and he's still protecting Li Shicheng, which is kind of fucked up.]

[I don't know if I can eat the melons live. After all, this dog system telling me about the melons is not as exciting as eating them live.]

A light cough interrupted Gu Jianchu's thoughts.

When she looked up, she saw Xie Ci walking into the inner hall calmly.

After realizing what was happening, Gu Jianchu quickly stood up and bowed to greet everyone.

"Why is the Queen here?" Xie Ci'an personally helped Gu Jianchu up.

After getting the clue about the missing child, Gu Jianchu hurried over with breakfast prepared in the small kitchen. Unexpectedly, the emperor had already figured out the hideout where the child was hidden, so she didn't need to remind him deliberately.

Gu Jianchu explained, "I see that Your Majesty is busy catching criminals who kidnap children and is very tired, so I specially asked the kitchen to make some beef pot stickers and send them to Your Majesty. Would Your Majesty like to try some?"

"How can I not taste the Queen's kindness?" Xie Ci'an lifted his robe and sat down at the yellow pear wood round table.

Gu Jianchu took out the fried dumplings and shiitake mushrooms from the food box, placed them on the table, and personally served the dishes to Xie Ci'an.

Xie Ci'an had just picked up a fried dumpling when he saw Gu Jianchu's eyes fixed on the food on his chopsticks. "Queen, please sit down and eat with us."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Jianchu was not polite. He sat down, picked up the chopsticks and started showing off.

In order to deliver the message to Xie Ci'an, she didn't have time to eat breakfast, and she was already hungry after being tossed around for so long.

Gu Jianchu was eating breakfast while distractedly eating melon.

[Wow, as expected of someone doing the Emperor's dirty work, he's already arrived at the Princess's residence so quickly.]

As I expected, Xie Qingzhi immediately started a commotion when she saw someone arresting the Prince Consort. She even stopped the Imperial City Division from taking Li Shicheng away. Faced with Xie Qingzhi, the Imperial City Division was helpless and only took the evil steward away. They also surrounded the Princess's residence.

[Unsure of the situation, the thief brought Li Shicheng to seek an explanation from His Majesty.]

[It's such a lively event, I really want to be there and watch the show, what should I do? It seems there is no reason to stay in Chuigong Hall any longer. ]

Even if Xie Qingzhi and her husband rode here at full speed, it would take half an hour. She couldn't finish her breakfast in half an hour.

Just as Gu Jianchu was racking his brains to think of a reason to stay, Xie Ci'an suddenly spoke up, "I still have some memorials to deal with. Queen, please help me polish them."

As long as I can stay in Chuigong Hall and eat melons, I can do anything.

Gu Jianchu agreed without a second thought, "I'll be right there."

When you feel sleepy, I’ll give you a pillow.

Yunhe and his men cleaned up the dining table.

Gu Jianchu rolled up her sleeves and stood in front of the imperial desk to help grind. She yawned out of boredom, and her eyes moved down and finally landed on Xie Ci'an.

Why didn’t I think Xie Ci’an was so handsome before, especially the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, which is charming but not coquettish. No wonder the virtuous concubine and the imperial concubine come to show their courtesy every now and then. Even if they can’t sleep with him, it’s a feast for the eyes to look at him more often.

Just as she was lost in thought, a command came from outside the palace gate, "Go and inform the emperor that I want to see him."

With such a domineering tone, you don’t need to think to know who it is.

Cheng Song brought the person in with great trepidation.

Xie Qingzhi's complexion today was much better than when they went out of the palace to visit him before.

Li Shicheng followed Xie Qingzhi with his head down, looking like a child who had made a mistake.

[Cowardice is indeed a man's best protective color. Li Shicheng still wants to use *** to help him escape punishment.]

"What crime did my husband-in-law commit that the emperor sent you and your lackeys to arrest him so early in the morning? If the emperor doesn't give me a legitimate reason today, I will definitely bring it to a trial in three courts, so that everyone in the world can see how the emperor is targeting me and my husband-in-law." Xie Qingzhi blocked Li Shicheng behind him and confronted Xie Ci'an head-on.

[***He is quite powerful, but a little foolish. He would go toe to toe with the emperor for such a bastard.]

Cheng Song, who followed in, looked at the emperor in panic and didn't dare to say anything.

Xie Ci'an slowly put down the pen in his hand and glanced lazily at the two of them. "Since I sent people to the princess's residence to arrest someone, it's certainly not for no reason. You come to question me, why don't you ask what the prince consort beside you has done?"

Hearing this, Xie Qingzhi looked at the man behind him with a sharp look.

Li Shicheng was frightened and shrank back. "Azhi, you know me well. I'm with you all day long. What can I do?"

There are so many things that can be done. They even have a child with their concubine. Only *** still believes Li Shicheng's nonsense. He also said that ***'s vision seems not very good. When choosing a son-in-law from the list, they only choose a good-looking one, like the emperor.

[This Li Shi didn't grow up to be very outstanding, and he has no character.]

He actually compared him with Li Shicheng.

Xie Qingzhi's eyes darkened, and she obviously believed what Li Shicheng said, "The prince consort is always by my side, so he has no time to commit crimes. If the emperor insists on arresting the prince consort, he is not afraid of being criticized by the people of the world."

【I hope *** can say the same thing later. 】

"Bring the people in." The moment Xie Ci'an finished speaking, Cheng Song immediately trotted out and brought in several captured prisoners and Li Shicheng's butler.

Wen Zhu acted quickly and had already tortured the housekeeper while Xie Qingzhi was bringing Li Shicheng over.

The butler was beaten black and blue, his face swollen, and his body covered in blood as he was thrown to the ground. Wen Zhu stepped forward and grabbed the butler by the collar, whispering, "Repeat what you just said to the emperor and the queen."

The butler was forced to look up, and secretly glanced at Li Shicheng behind the emperor. "Your Majesty, I was ordered by the Prince Consort to kidnap and sell children."

Everyone looked at Li Shicheng, who quickly and hurriedly rejected the idea, "I don't know what nonsense he's talking about."

Xie Qingzhi retorted, "A confession forced under torture is not valid. The Li family is a wealthy and noble family in the capital, and they would not do such a thing. Who knows if the housekeeper himself committed a crime and was afraid of being punished, so he deliberately put the blame on the prince consort. The emperor actually arrested him without investigating the matter thoroughly. It really damages his reputation as a wise ruler."

Seeing this, the housekeeper ignored the pain all over his body and knelt down in front of Xie Ci'an, kowtowed to him one by one, and said, "Your Majesty, I understand that everything I did was ordered by the Prince Consort. The Prince Consort has a lot of wine and meat in Jiangnan, so I asked this person to find a woman of suitable age to cultivate among the people."

Xie Ci'an smiled at his elder sister instead of getting angry, then leaned over to look at the man kneeling on the ground, "Do you know what the consequences are for slandering the current emperor's son-in-law?"

"Your Majesty is wise. Everything I said is true." The butler was frightened by Xie Ci'an's dangerous look.

Hearing this, Li Shicheng was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Xie Qingzhi's hand and said, "Azhi, believe me, I never did it. They framed me."
