Yunhe listened to Gu Jianchu and went to deliver the letter immediately.

As Yun He left, Cheng Song arrived right after him. "Your Majesty, the Emperor has asked the Imperial Kitchen to prepare roasted lamb and has summoned you to join him for dinner tonight. Your Majesty, please prepare the food. I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

"I understand." Gu Jianchu grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and gave them to Cheng Song.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng Song thanked with a smile on his face.

The emperor only favors the queen. Apart from making some money from the queen, there is no way for him to please everyone.

Cheng Song happily returned to Chuigong Palace to report, holding a handful of golden melon seeds.

As the sky gradually darkened, Gu Jianchu changed his clothes and took a sedan chair to the Chuigong Hall.

Cheng Song had been waiting outside. When he saw her coming in the sedan chair, he hurried forward to help her lift the curtain and supported her down from the sedan chair.

From a distance, the lights in the Chuigong Hall were brightly lit. Gu Jianchu asked lazily, "Is the Emperor still busy?"

"Your Majesty also knows that the imperial examination has just ended recently, and the Emperor is busy with the Qujiang Banquet." Cheng Song explained and personally supported Gu Jianchu to the front of the hall.

Xiao Fuzi stepped forward and pushed the door open, then made a gesture of invitation to Gu Jianchu, "The Emperor is waiting for the Empress."

Zhu Xia, Zhu Xi and others were about to follow Gu Jianchu inside when Cheng Song stopped them with his quick eyes and hands, and shook his head at them.

The two little girls immediately understood and went to the teahouse next door with Cheng Song and others to wait.

Just as Gu Jianchu was about to turn around, he found that the door was closed.

She took a few tentative steps forward, but there was no sign of Xie Ci'an.

[What's going on? Did the Emperor ask me to come over and play hide-and-seek?]

Thinking this in his heart, Gu Jianchu immediately called out, "Your Majesty, where are you?"

When Gu Jianchu returned, he found silence.

Xiao Fuzi and Cheng Song are both here, so the Emperor can't be away from Chuigong Hall, right? Or is it that the Emperor sent me to Chuigong Hall to test my ulterior motives? After all, Chuigong Hall is the place where all the important and confidential matters are kept.

Xie Ci'an: The Queen has so many ideas.

Gu Jianchu went to the inner hall to take a look, but still did not see Xie Ci'an. Instead, she heard the faint sound of water. She walked towards the hot spring pool in the ear chamber, pushed open the door, and sure enough, she saw a figure sitting in the winding pool.

The man was naked, with his scarred back facing away from her. The curling hot air made him look vague. There were incense and fruit plates beside the hot spring pool.

Gu Jianchu took a few steps forward, and a sweet fragrance instantly hit her. Then she felt her head heavy and her whole body hot, as if thousands of ants were running wildly in her body.

[Damn, there's something wrong with the incense. The dog emperor actually drugged me.]

Although he had never experienced it before, Gu Jianchu could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the incense.

Before, Xie Ci'an's favorite scent was ambergris, but this scent tasted very wrong.

The mechanical sound of the system sounded in my mind at the same time.

[My dear, you're on your own. The incense we confiscated from Dou Cong was taken away by Cheng Song. I think it's been kept by the Emperor.]

[What a piece of shit! Even if I collect it, I can't use it all on me.]

[If you like these incense so much, why don't you find a few more women to try it on? I deserve to be the guinea pig. And why doesn't the Dali Temple destroy all the incense? Isn't keeping them just deliberately harming people?]

[The dog system told me where the emperor hid the incense. I found time to destroy it.]

The system sound has become weaker.

[My dear, I'm afraid you can't destroy them. The Emperor has placed all those things in a secret room, which is guarded by the Imperial City Department. If you don't go in, you might be arrested as a criminal.]

Xie Ci'an had a smile on his face.

That kind of thing naturally needs to be hidden more carefully.

Xie Ci'an was completely moved by the queen who was cursing in her heart but looked aggrieved on the surface, and even the smile on her lips became brighter.

"Achu, come here."

The heat in Gu Jianchu's body was getting more and more intense. The feeling of being bitten by ants made her instinctively move closer to Xie Ci'an. When they reached the edge of the hot spring pool, Xie Ci'an suddenly grabbed her arm, and with a little force, Gu Jianchu fell into the hot spring pool.

The clothes were instantly soaked and stuck to her body, instantly highlighting her exquisite figure.

The heat in her body and the feeling of being suspended in the water made her instinctively cling to Xie Ci'an, seeking support. "Your Majesty, please be gentle with me."

"Achu looks so attractive." Xie Ci'an did not answer Gu Jianchu's words, but leaned over and kissed her lips.

Gu Jianchu instinctively wrapped his hands around the back of Xie Ci'an's neck and pressed his body against his legs to find a support point. His big hands moved around her waist through the water-soaked fabric. Soon the clothes floated on the water, accompanied by the swirling hot air. Gu Jianchu was like a small boat floating on the sea, instinctively clinging to the huge object that supported him.

From the hot spring to the study and then to the bed, the entire Chuigong Hall was messed up by the two of them.

When the effect of the medicine on Gu Jianchu gradually wore off, she realized what had happened. She was so tired that she leaned on Xie Ci'an's chest and looked out through the open door. She saw that the desk where Xie Ci'an usually handled memorials was in a mess, and the memorials were scattered all over the floor. She didn't know how the palace maid would laugh at her when she came in to clean up.

She buried her head in Xie Ci'an's chest, not daring to look at anyone.

Now I wish I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Xie Ci Anye noticed that Gu Jianchu was acting strangely, raised his hand and stroked her smooth long hair, his voice carrying a languid tone he had never heard before, "What's wrong with Chuchu?"

"Your Majesty, haven't we gone too far? When the palace servants come in to clean up, they'll probably laugh at us." Gu Jianchu blushed when she thought of the embarrassing scene.

In fact, she didn't care about the flowers the emperor played with, but if it was seen by outsiders, she would still be a little thin-skinned.

Xie Ci'an hugged Gu Jianchu's shoulders and chuckled softly, "Our Ah Chu is really thin-skinned. But don't worry Ah Chu, no one will laugh at you. Those palace servants who want the tongue will just pretend not to see it."

Having said that, I still feel a little ashamed.

Xie Ci'an took Gu Jianchu into his arms and hugged him again.

Gu Jianchu could only let him hold her in his arms, as she was feeling very weak.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? I'll ask Cheng Song to serve the meal now." Xie Ci'an asked lazily.

It seemed like Xie Ci'an had tricked her into coming here with the promise of a meal, but she was drugged before she even ate. We had to find a way to destroy the things Xie Ci'an had hidden, because who knows when the emperor might get the urge to drug her again.

Since those things were hidden in the secret room by Xie Ci'an, they must be difficult to destroy.

I'll think of a solution slowly. I'm really hungry now and want to eat something.

Gu Jianchu nestled in Xie Ci'an's arms and nodded.
