Xie Qingzhi shook off Li Shicheng's hand, drew the sword from Wen Zhu's waist, and slashed at Li Shicheng. "Do you think I still believe what you say now? I have done so much for your Li family, but in the end, you poisoned me for a concubine and even aborted my child."

Li Shicheng reacted quickly and dodged to the side, barely avoiding the sword that Xie Qingzhi was chopping at him, but he fell to the ground because he did not stand firmly.

Xie Qingzhi slashed at him again, and Li Shicheng quickly raised his hand to catch the hilt of the sword. "Azhi, I'm sorry for what happened this time. I just couldn't resist the temptation. I promise you, there will never be a next time. You can also abort the baby in her belly."

[This is the common rhetoric used by scumbag men. Even a dog can't stop eating shit, let alone a man who has made a mistake.]

[Just cut off the lifeblood of this bastard and see how he can harm others in the future.]

"Next time, if you still want a next time, I will make sure you never have a chance." Xie Qingzhi had practiced horse riding and archery with the late emperor when he was a child. Although he has been living in the back house in recent years, the basics are still there.

He suddenly shook off Li Shicheng's hand and raised his sword to chop at Li Shicheng.

Gu Jianchu, who had been watching the fun, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him. He even forgot to eat the snack in his hand.

[Exciting! After the princess awakens, she plans to make this bastard childless. This is actually the most famous castration scene I've ever seen.]

The eldest princess angrily killed her husband, and Xie Ci'an didn't want to stop her.

After hearing Gu Jianchu's excited voice, he felt inexplicably unhappy in his heart.

He immediately raised his hand to signal Wen Zhu.

Wen Zhu reacted quickly and led people forward to stop the princess, "Your Highness, this is the Chuigong Palace, and we cannot see blood."

Li Shicheng, who was pulled back from the brink of life and death, was still frightened and quickly got up from the ground and hid far away from the princess.

Before Xie Ci'an could speak, Xie Qingzhi spoke first, "The Prince Consort committed such a serious mistake because of my elder sister's failure to discipline him strictly. I also bear some responsibility. I beg the emperor to hand the Prince Consort over to me for disposal. I will definitely give the emperor an explanation."

Hearing this, Xie Ci'an turned the teacup and remained silent.

What a pity, I can't see such a big event.

How was Gu Qing's daughter educated? She is so open-minded and wants to see that kind of thing.

"Leave the prince consort to my eldest sister. I hope she won't let me down." Xie Ci'an asked Wen Zhu to hand Li Shicheng over to the people in the princess's mansion.

After Xie Qingzhi and his men left, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but remind him, "The prince consort committed such a serious crime, and the emperor handed him over to the princess like this. Aren't you afraid that the princess will continue to be deceived by the prince consort?"

In response to the Queen's question, Xie Ci'an was still confident, "No."

She was not so confident about the eldest princess who was a little love-sick.

After the others left, only two people were left in the hall. Gu Jianchu immediately realized that the way they were sitting seemed a little ambiguous.

Gu Jianchu immediately stood up from Xie Ci'an and deliberately took two steps back to keep some distance. "Your Majesty still has things to deal with. I will take my leave first."

The melons have all been eaten, there is no need to stay here any longer.

Without waiting for Xie Ci'an's agreement, Gu Jianchu strode out.

Seeing Gu Jianchu avoiding him like the plague, he couldn't help but feel a little amused, "Cheng Song, take the Shu embroidery sent by the Jiangnan Provincial Administration Office from my storehouse to the Queen."

Cheng Song didn't react for a moment.

How long have these concubines in the harem been in the palace? The emperor has never rewarded them. The queen is really a wonderful person. After being framed once, she has been favored by the emperor one after another. Now he even wants to reward the queen with things.

"Slave, go right away."

As soon as Gu Jianchu returned, Cheng Song came to Kunning Palace and brought several bolts of fine cloth. "The Emperor truly loves the Empress, and he specially sent me some fine cloth to make you two sets of winter clothes. In addition, the Emperor also said that he would come to your place for dinner tonight, so I hope you will make preparations early."

What happened to their emperor who never entered the harem? He sent her cloth and wanted to have dinner with her.

It's really unpredictable.

Gu Jianchu was puzzled, but he maintained a gentle smile on his face, "Thank you for telling me, eunuch."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Cheng Song delivered the message without waiting long.

Before Cheng Song took him away, Zhu Xi stuffed a handful of golden melon seeds into Cheng Song's hands and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip, eunuch."

Cheng Song calmly put the things into his sleeve pocket and said, "This is what a servant should do. How can I say it's hard work?"

"The Empress's favor continues to grow. During this period of time, the Emperor has only entered the Kunning Palace and has never been to other Empress' palaces." Zhuxi's face was filled with unconcealable joy.

Zhuxi was the maid she brought with her from the Marquis's Mansion. Although he was thinking about her wholeheartedly, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but tap her nose and remind her, "The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, don't you know?"

"This servant is only happy for the Empress. Even if the other Empresses are jealous, the Emperor will not visit them once."

Zhuxi was not kind in her words, but she knew how to keep a low profile, fearing that Gu Jianchu would be unhappy. She said, "I will go to the imperial kitchen and ask them to prepare dinner."

Gu Jianchu nodded.

She stood up and touched the silk and satin that Xie Ci'an had sent over. "Yunhe, take these things to the warehouse and store them away first."

As the sky darkened, Xie Ci'an came over with the cold wind.

Because Cheng Song informed him in advance, Gu Jianchu waited outside the door. When he saw Xie Ci'an coming, he hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

Before she could kneel down, Xie Ci'an helped her up and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite."

Gu Jianchu stood up with his strength. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Xie Ci'an held it tighter. "The Queen's hands are so cold. Next time I come, you don't have to greet me outside like this."

"Yes."

[Did Xie Ci'an take the wrong medicine? He actually still cares about the concubines? This is really weird.]

After hearing Gu Jianchu's thoughts, Xie Ci'an's good mood instantly disappeared by half, but he couldn't show it on his face.

This is the image he has in the Queen's mind.

Never mind, never mind. He hasn’t entered the harem for a year, so it’s understandable that the queen thinks she’s seen a ghost.

It was cold now, so Gu Jianchu asked the small kitchen to make a vegetable pot. As the charcoal heated up, the pot kept bubbling. Gu Jianchu rolled up his sleeves to help Xie Ci'an pick up some vegetables. "Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs all day. Eat more."

"Queen, there's no need to help me pick up the food. Please sit down and eat together." Xie Ci'an would not pick up each dish more than three times.

After eating a little, Xie Ci'an put down his chopsticks and said, "I came here tonight and I also want to thank the Queen for providing me with some ideas so that I can solve the case as soon as possible."
