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

Perhaps the woman did not know the emperor's temper, but Lord Li and Tang Ruike even knew the emperor's character, not to mention that there was the empress around to add fuel to the fire.

"Killing someone means paying with one's life. Madam Tang severely injured Li, though not fatally, but she is still the culprit. She will be executed in the market three days from now. Tang Rui knew that Li was not dead, but instead of finding a doctor for her, he murdered her and drowned her in the pond. His actions were atrocious, and he deserves to be executed in the market three days from now. I will leave this matter to Lord Dou to handle."

The moment Xie Ci'an's voice fell, the mother and son sat on the ground in a daze, as if they had not reacted to Xie Ci'an's cold voice.

Mrs. Tang wanted to struggle, but the Dali Temple runners who came over covered her mouth and dragged her away.

Upon hearing this, Madam Li panicked instantly, a bad premonition instantly lingering in her heart. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong. I will go back now to prepare a ritual for my daughter and help her to transcend."

Xie Ci'an ignored Madam Li's words of demur. "Lord Li and Madam Li have disregarded human life and even considered using their daughter's life to make money. This is truly heinous. Chongfeng removes Lord Li's official hat and banishes him to Lingnan. All the female members of the Li family are also banished to the Southern Prefecture. No one is allowed to redeem them without my permission."

Mrs. Li, who originally wanted to make some money from her daughter's death, fell to the ground in despair. Not only did she not make any money, but she also lost her entire family.

Xiao Cong and Minister Lin on the side couldn't help but show a look of relief.

Fortunately, the Queen was there to help plead for mercy, otherwise the two of them would not have been able to escape unscathed today.

After handling this matter, Gu Jianchu turned around and whispered to Yun He, "Help Li choose a good tomb, and also hire a Taoist priest to help her pass away. I just hope that she can be safe and sound in her next life."

"You can make one more trip and ask Dou Wen to prepare a divorce letter and burn it for Li." She thought that Li definitely didn't want to be involved with the murderer who bullied her everywhere.

Although she was tortured during her lifetime, let her be given a pure land after her death.

Yunhe agreed to all of them.

This time, after eating so many melons, Gu Jianchu can be said to have returned with a full load.

As soon as he returned to Chuigong Hall, the servants in the palace left on their own accord.

Xie Ci'an hugged Gu Jianchu's waist from behind.

Xie Ci'an pressed his face against Gu Jianchu's cheek and said in a low voice, "I accompanied the Queen out of the palace. Now, does the Queen want to give me some reward?"

"Didn't I give the reward to the emperor a few days ago?" Gu Jianchu quickly broke away from Xie Ci'an's arms. She had already sensed that Xie Ci'an was in danger.

Being demanded by the emperor like this all day long, even if she is a god, her body will be sucked dry sooner or later.

Gu Jianchu quickly made an excuse, "I haven't been back to Kunning Palace for a long time. If the other concubines were to look for me, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find me. I'd better move back to Kunning Palace tonight and not disturb the emperor from handling state affairs."

Just as Gu Jianchu was about to leave, Xie Ci'an immediately raised his hand and grabbed Gu Jianchu's wrist, "There are so many concubines in the harem now. Those people are trying to avoid the queen all day long. How could they take the initiative to come and provoke the queen?"

"Achu, see if you have any other excuses to use." Xie Ci'an leaned lazily on the armchair while holding Gu Jianchu, like a cat that caught a mouse. He was not in a hurry to taste it, but was slowly enjoying the feeling of the prey struggling in his hands.

Gu Jianchu was held in Xie Ci'an's arms. She could clearly feel the swelling somewhere in his body. Her brain was working rapidly. "I remember now. I have an appointment with Concubine Wen to go to her palace for snacks."

"Do you want me to send someone to Wen Zhaoyi's palace to see if there are any snacks?" Although Xie Ci'an was still letting Gu Jianchu struggle, his eyes were already filled with dangerous light, like a cheetah ready to pounce.

Gu Jianchu, unable to think of any excuse, instantly collapsed in Xie Ci'an's arms, "I have no other excuses, I just hope that the emperor can let me go for a bit."

"If Ah Chu had just been obedient earlier, we wouldn't have wasted so much time."

Xie Ci'an raised his hand and untied Gu Jianchu's belt.

The clothes on her body slowly slid down to her waist, revealing a large area of snow-white shoulders. Xie Ci'an did not continue to move, but instead picked her up and carried her on the wide bed.

Xie Ci'an turned back and lit the incense beside the bed.

Smelling the faint sweet fragrance, a bad premonition gradually rose in Gu Jianchu's heart.

[Damn, the dog emperor gave me that medicine again. It's all my fault for being so busy eating melons that I forgot to go to the dog emperor's warehouse and destroy the incense he got. Who can stand this?]

A feeling of heat kept rising in Gu Jianchu's body. Gu Jianchu stepped forward and pulled Xie Ci'an's arm. With a little force, Xie Ci'an pressed down with Gu Jianchu's strength.

The tent is warm in spring, and the red candle in the room is flickering.

A loud thunder instantly suppressed the sound coming from the room, and heavy rain followed, but it did not extinguish the scorching heat in the Chuigong Hall at all.

Cheng Song, Zhuxi and others quietly waited in the tea room, waiting for someone to be called in to serve them from the main hall. This kind of thing was already commonplace for them.

Since the emperor has no other concubines around him, the queen has to work harder.

When Gu Jianchu was released, the rain outside had stopped. Xie Ci'an carried her to the hot spring pool to wash her up, then changed her clothes and put her on the bed to continue sleeping.

Gu Jianchu was so tired that he didn't want to move at all. Even when he was being held to take a bath, he didn't open his eyes. Xie Ci'an held him and served him the whole time.

As for when Xie Ci'an went to court and came back, she had no idea.

When she woke up, it was already noon.

After being washed by a heavy rain, the air was filled with a faint scent of soil. Although the sun was bright, it was not so scorching. Zhuxi came personally to help Gu Jianchu get up and wash.

While helping Gu Jianchu with her hair, Zhuxi leaned close to Gu Jianchu's ear and whispered, "After the Empress and the Emperor left the palace yesterday, the Madam sent someone to deliver some things to the palace, and also a message."

"What's delicious?" Gu Jianchu asked casually while yawning.

I felt like Xie Ci'an was sucking all my energy away.

Zhuxi stammered, "It's a folk remedy that Madam got from outside. It says that if you drink it after the Emperor and Madam have sex, it will help Madam get pregnant. Madam was worried that it would be inconvenient for Madam, so she asked a doctor outside to get the medicine and send it to the palace."

"Your Majesty, would you like me to ask Zhuxia to cook two sets to try? Just in case they are useful."

How could mother be so feudal and superstitious? How could this folk remedy possibly work? The Emperor and I are both healthy, it's just that the bastard Emperor still wants to sleep with me, and he's deliberately choosing the right time to sleep with me to prevent me from getting pregnant.
