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

"Zhang Liaoliao was already a dying man, and this incident was caused by the evil deeds done by Zhang Liaoliao. Your Majesty, I think he can be punished leniently." Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an expectantly.

Dou Wen and Gu Jianchu had the same idea, but he didn't want to bring it up, after all, the emperor's mind was unpredictable.

Xie Ci'an turned the porcelain cup beside him and said, "What the Queen said is very reasonable. I wonder how the Queen thinks this matter should be handled."

Gu Jianchu stared at Xie Ci'an with some hesitation.

The emperor suddenly asked her what she thought. Could it be that he thought she was meddling in his affairs?

Gu Jianchu was a little unsure of what Xie Ci'an was thinking for a moment.

Xie Ci'an's expression showed no anger, so Gu Jianchu boldly said, "Even if Zhou hadn't poisoned him, Zhang Liaoliao would have been taken to Jiangnan for execution in a few days. What Zhou did was understandable. How about confiscating Zhou's property to offset his crime? Then, we can claim he committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an in panic. For a moment, he was not sure what Xie Ci'an was thinking, so he could only wait anxiously for him to speak.

Xie Ci'an glanced at Dou Wen.

Dou Wen, who wanted only to hide and wait for the emperor's orders, was forced to speak, "Your humble servant also thinks what the queen said is feasible. Zhou should pay with her life for her murder, but there are reasons for it. The person she killed was already guilty of many crimes. If Zhou's life is exchanged for hers, the people will inevitably feel that the punishment is too severe."

"Then, as the Queen said, a fine of ten thousand taels of silver will be levied on Zhou to atone for the crime."

Originally, Dou Wen thought that the emperor would not agree. The moment he heard the emperor's agreement, he felt a little stunned.

Cheng Song has become accustomed to it.

The Queen's status in the Emperor's heart is likely to rise to a higher level.

Seeing that there was nothing else, Dou Wen left the hall on his own accord.

Xie Ci'an glanced over and Cheng Song immediately understood what he meant. He withdrew all the palace servants serving outside the Chuigong Hall and sent people to guard the palace gate. The emperor had important matters to deal with now and would not see anyone.

Gu Jianchu was completely unaware of the danger. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Xie Ci'an grabbed his arm. With a little force, Gu Jianchu fell into Xie Ci'an's arms. "Are you planning to leave after the checkup?"

How can you let go of the fat meat that is right in front of you so easily?

"Your Majesty, I have something else to do when I go back." Gu Jianchu struggled a few times, but was unable to break free from Xie Ci'an's strength.

"It's not too late to deal with anything later." Xie Ci'an knew that these were just excuses from Gu Jianchu.

There are only a few concubines left in the palace now, and those concubines dare not cause trouble. On weekdays, the queen has no important matters to attend to, and the account books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are sent there regularly for inspection.

Xie Ci'an picked up Gu Jianchu and carried him horizontally, then turned around and walked into the inner hall.

Gu Jianchu was gently put down on the bright yellow dragon bed. As her clothes slid under the bed, a handkerchief was tied over her lively eyes.

Having lost her sight, she could only instinctively cling to Xie Ci'an, floating up and down with him in the sea of desire.

For the entire afternoon, Gu Jianchu was kept entangled in bed by Xie Ci'an, and it was not until they missed dinner time that they finally ended.

Gu Jianchu collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move. Xie Ci'an asked someone to bring him a midnight snack and fed it to Gu Jianchu himself.

Halfway through the meal, someone came in hurriedly. He didn't go in further, but stopped outside the inner hall door. "Your Majesty, something has happened."

Xie Ci'an frowned slightly and stopped feeding Gu Jianchu, "What's the matter?"

"The son of the Minister of Justice had a quarrel with a teacher from Yousong Academy. I have asked Xiao Fuzi to find out the details." Cheng Song stood outside with his eyes lowered, not daring to glance inside.

Gu Jianchu, who was lying on the bed like a dead fish, suddenly jumped up from the bed.

There are melons, there are melons.

Xie Ci'an looked at the excited person next to him and frowned helplessly.

As long as there is melon, the queen can get rid of her fatigue.

Now Xie Ci'an cares more about what the melon is.

It should be related to the Minister of Justice and Arimatsu Academy.

The only son of the Minister of Justice was a notorious playboy, having slept with countless women. His favorite place to hang out was brothels. The Minister of Justice was so worried about this playboy that his hair turned white. He even tried to teach his son a lesson by locking him up in the ancestral hall and breaking a cane with it. He did behave himself for a while.

[He was only honest for a while, and right after he got out, he slept with the wife of the teacher at Yousong Academy. I didn't expect that the son of the Minister of Justice was so heavy-handed and actually liked married women.]

[It was a coincidence that the Minister of Justice had just climbed into the man's wife's bed when the teacher from Yousong Academy returned to retrieve something he had left at home. He ran into them and caught them in the act. The teacher, a man of courage, wrestled with the Minister of Justice's son on the spot. A neighbor later saw them and reported them to the police.]

When they arrived at the yamen, the son of the Vice Minister of Justice flatly denied sleeping with someone else's wife. The Vice Minister knew his son well and thought he was really capable of such a thing, so he immediately beat him up. However, the son still denied sleeping with someone else's wife.

The Minister of Justice was also a little bewildered.

[This seemingly simple case involved the Arimatsu Academy and the official's son. Dou Wen was extremely cautious, questioning each person separately, and each person's story differed.]

The wife of this scholar said that she fell asleep at home and didn't know anything. The son of the vice minister of justice also said that he felt dizzy and had no memory of what happened afterwards.

Only the Master insisted that he had come back to retrieve something and saw the two of them lying on the bed, making love.

【Why does this melon feel more and more off the mark the more I eat it?】

[Could it be that the Master wanted to gain a relationship with the Minister of Justice and deliberately sent his wife to the bed of the Minister of Justice's son? Or perhaps he wanted to gain some benefit from the Minister of Justice.]

Xie Ci'an narrowed his eyes slightly and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. People who knew him knew that he was angry now.

He now has the same idea as Gu Jianchu.

There's something wrong here.

Apart from wanting to gain some benefits from the Ministry of Justice, he could not think of any reason that could make a man do such a cruel thing.

[As for being mad, even eating so many sweet potatoes, none of them are as mad as the melon eaten by the little general who protects the country.]

Ahhhh, I was wrong. This guy is truly outrageous. Don't underestimate the shamelessness of a scholar. The more self-proclaimed a cultured person is, the more perverted and outrageous their actions are. I'm sure even a pervert would be impressed.

Xie Ci'an frowned slightly.

Curiously waiting for Gu Jianchu to reveal the secrets.

[There's no doubt that Wen was deliberately sent to Guo Zirui's bed by her husband, but her husband wasn't trying to gain any advantage by threatening the Minister of Justice. Instead, he wanted to use this opportunity to divorce her.]
