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

The case of Zhang Liaoliao murdering Zhou Yu was closed a few days ago. The Queen Mother had wanted to rescue him before. How could Gu Jianchu let Doctor Zhang go? He asked Zhou Hui to take people to search the Zhang family and dig up more evidence that Doctor Zhang was climbing up the ladder by stepping on the corpses of others.

When the Queen Mother saw this, she knew that Doctor Zhang was completely useless, so she gave up the idea of rescuing Doctor Zhang.

"Zhang Liaoliao's crimes are too numerous to count. The Emperor has sentenced him to death in the autumn. Not only did he murder his own master, but he also framed several doctors from the Imperial Hospital. Furthermore, when he was in Jiangnan, he colluded with the government and caused the deaths of many people."

Zhu Xia finished gossiping, and Zhu Xi beside her couldn't help but say, "More than that. I originally thought this man was a man of integrity. After all, he flatly denied his crimes in Cheng'en Palace. I didn't expect that he would be so frightened into confessing everything as soon as he entered the Imperial City Department, before his punishment was even over. Even if the Empress Dowager wanted to save him, she couldn't. Doctor Zhang's move has implicated so many people, even the former Jiangnan Prefect and the former Dali Temple Minister are implicated."

"These two have now been captured by Wen Zhu and are being held in the Imperial City for trial. However, they were more stubborn than Zhang Liaoliao. They managed to hold out for another day and finally confessed everything. The Emperor ordered the three to be taken to Jiangnan for execution. He wanted the people of Jiangnan to see and give justice to those who have been wronged in Jiangnan."

"The emperor's move can be regarded as reassuring the people of Jiangnan, although justice will come many years late. What about Zhou? Did she divorce Zhang Liaoliao?" Wen Nuan was more concerned about Zhou's situation. After all, she was a poor person.

She was tricked by a scumbag into marrying the murderer of her father. After knowing the truth, I don’t know how heartbroken she will be.

Gu Jianchu also thought that with the situation developing to this point, Zhou would divorce Zhang Liaoliao, but that didn't happen.

Zhou's move is somewhat puzzling.

Gu Jianchu shook his head.

"Ms. Zhou must be hating Zhang Liaoliao to death. Why doesn't she divorce Zhang Liaoliao? Could it be that they have developed feelings for each other over the years?" Wen Nuan couldn't help but guess and ask.

[Oh my god, there's a melon.]

Something big is going to happen.

Zhou didn't want to divorce because she had feelings for Zhang Liaoliao, but because she wanted to die with him. She knew she had been deceived by Zhang Liaoliao for so many years, and she was speechless in front of her father. She hated herself for not realizing Zhang Liaoliao had deceived her for so many years, and she felt guilty. She even hated herself for developing feelings for him because of his care.

So today, Zhou brought some food to visit Zhang Liaoliao in the Dali Temple prison.

Zhou poisoned Zhang Liaoliao's food.

After meeting Zhou, Zhang Liaoliao felt extremely guilty and kept apologizing to her. However, Zhou didn't offer any words of forgiveness. Instead, she urged Zhang Liaoliao to drink the poisoned wine she had given him.

[That shouldn't be the case. Zhang Liaoliao is a doctor, he should be able to smell poison.]

He knew he would die sooner or later. The Empress Dowager couldn't save him, and the Emperor had ordered his execution. Perhaps such a death would be a relief for him, so he drank the poisoned wine without hesitation.

After seeing Zhang Liaoliao's poison take effect, Zhou Shi felt no joy in revenge, but instead felt a sense of loneliness. She then surrendered herself to the Dali Temple.

Dou Wen was undecided and went straight to the palace to ask the emperor for instructions.

She didn't want to get too involved in the fate of the melon owner, and Zhou was a poor woman, so perhaps the law could give her a break.

Gu Jianchu did not answer Wen Nuan's doubts, "Sister, I have something important to do in Chuigong Palace, so I can't accompany you."

As he spoke, Gu Jianchu asked his servants to prepare the sedan chair, and they arrived at the Chuigong Hall a quarter of an hour later.

Normally, Gu Jianchu rarely comes over on his own initiative unless there is something important.

Gu Jianchu had already ordered people to send snacks here before. If there was nothing else, he probably wouldn't have come this way. In addition to being surprised, Xie Ci'an took Gu Jianchu's hand and sat down in front of the armchair, "Achu, you came to see me because you have something important to tell me."

"No, I miss the emperor and want to come and see him." Gu Jianchu made up a reason.

How should I tell the Emperor about Zhou's murder? After all, it's true that Zhou poisoned someone. Forget it, I'll wait for Dou Wen to come over and deal with the situation.

After just a few words, Xie Ci'an instantly realized what was going on.

It's not surprising that Zhou wants to take revenge personally. After all, Zhang Liaoliao is worse than a beast. He killed someone's father and pretended nothing happened to marry his daughter. Anyone else would probably want to kill this beast with their own hands.

Xie Ci'an didn't take these things too seriously. Instead, he pulled Gu Jianchu over and placed her on his knees, his fingers lightly scratching the tip of her nose. "Are you serious, Queen? Do you miss me?"

Xie Ci'an leaned forward and wanted to kiss the corner of the queen's lips, but Gu Jianchu raised his hand to block Xie Ci'an's chest.

Dou Wen will be here soon.

It would be embarrassing if I got caught.

Gu Jianchu quickly changed her excuse, "I wanted to come and see if there are any other concubines in the emperor's bedroom."

Gu Jianchu was not a jealous person, and even wanted to ask other concubines to come over to divert Xie Ci'an's attention from her.

But there is no other good excuse at the moment.

"I guess the Queen has already checked to see if there are any other concubines." Xie Ci'an pulled Gu Jianchu into his arms and hugged him tighter.

Xie Ci'an's fingers rubbed back and forth on her waist, his head resting on her shoulder, his warm breath all scattered on her neck, with a warm breath, a bad premonition spread in his heart.

Seeing Gu Jianchu's panic, Xie Ci'an's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and his fingers gradually climbed up the belt around her waist, "Your Majesty, this is the Chuigong Palace. It would be terrible if the court officials saw us."

Gu Jianchu hurriedly stopped Xie Ci'an's hands from going too far.

"If they dare to look, I will dig out their eyes." Xie Ci'an's words were full of threat.

Before he could take another step, there was a knock on the closed door, and Gu Jianchu breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Ever since he caught the emperor and empress being intimate once before, Cheng Song has developed a good habit of knocking on the door first whenever the empress comes.

"What's the matter?"

Xie Ci'an's voice was tinged with displeasure, and Cheng Song couldn't help but shudder when he heard it.

It seems that he has disturbed the emperor and empress's good deeds again. I wonder if the emperor will bear a grudge against him and send him to the Xinzheku.

Without waiting for Cheng Song to think, he quickly reported, "The Emperor, the Minister of Justice Dou, wishes to see you regarding an important matter."

"Let him in." Xie Ci'an helped Gu Jianchu tidy up his clothes and put him on the armchair beside him.

Dou Wen followed Cheng Song in at the same time.

The moment he saw the queen, Dou Wen couldn't help but pause.

The emperor and the empress had a good relationship, so it was not surprising to see the empress here. Moreover, the empress also knew about Zhang Liaoliao's case.

After greeting the two men, Dou Wen stated the purpose of his visit to the palace. "Your Majesty, Zhang Liaoliao died in prison today. Before the Dali Temple could investigate, his wife, Zhou, came to the yamen and confessed, saying she had poisoned Zhang Liaoliao. Details of the crime were not available. I sent someone to Zhou's home and found the poison that killed Zhang Liaoliao. This matter is of great importance, and I am unable to make a decision. I have no choice but to ask Your Majesty to make the decision."
