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

"Besides ***, is there anyone else?"

Zhuxi stepped forward and handed the letter that Bai Wei had taken out of her sleeve to Gu Jianchu. Gu Jianchu glanced at it and handed it to Xie Qingzhi. "I wonder if my elder sister still remembers this matter?"

Xie Qingzhi shrugged, "I don't know anything about the disappearance."

There are so many people in the princess's mansion, it is impossible for her to know everything.

"Bai Wei, you said you found the horse stable, but there has been no news of Bai Qiang since then." Gu Jianchu asked lazily.

Bai Wei nodded rapidly, "That's right. I checked the stables at the time. They said my sister disappeared two days after she went there. We searched for her several times but couldn't find her, so we gave up."

After reading the contents of the letter, Xie Qingzhi's face became extremely ugly.

It was exactly the same as what the Queen was thinking. The Queen actually knew everything.

She exerted a little force, and the letter in her hand was immediately wrinkled. "I didn't expect that bastard Li Shicheng to do so many evil things behind my back. Even cutting him into pieces wouldn't be enough to quench my hatred. After I threw him into the stable, I never paid any attention to the matter again. She was just a palace maid, and I never took it to heart. As for how your sister disappeared, I really don't know."

"Have you ever thought about a possibility that your sister threatened Li Shicheng, and Li Shicheng had already had murderous intentions. Instead of using me to kill your sister, he would do it himself?" Xie Qingzhi felt that Li Shicheng was the one who did it.

"I did, because my sister wanted to threaten Li Shicheng. So after entering the princess's mansion, the first person I checked was Li Shicheng. But when my sister disappeared, Li Shicheng went to Jiangnan, and all the servants around him followed him."

So this clue was broken.

"Could it be that Li Shicheng bribed someone to do this, and he happened to be in Jiangnan, so there is no evidence to prove his mistake."

Xie Qingzhi said angrily, "Li Shicheng has been punished, and I still have to bear the blame for such a huge loss of life for him."

[It really wasn't Li Shicheng who killed the person. Li Shicheng was wrongly accused.]

Hearing this, Xie Qingzhi looked at Gu Jianchu in shock. She could actually hear the Queen's thoughts again.

It’s amazing that the queen knows everything.

No wonder the emperor has been acting more and more strangely recently, and his relationship with the queen has been getting better and better.

Gu Jianchu ignored Xie Qingzhi's shocked look and said, "Since the person disappeared in the stable, why not find everyone in the stable and interrogate them carefully? Maybe we can find out the real cause of Bai Qiang's death."

"Okay, Wen Zhu, you take people to bring all the people in the stable here. Don't leave anyone out." As soon as Xie Ci'an finished giving the order, Wen Zhu immediately went to the princess's mansion to bring people.

The princess's mansion was sealed off during the search yesterday. No one was allowed to go out without the queen's permission, so everyone in the princess's mansion was trapped inside.

Although the princess's mansion is not far away, it takes an hour to go back and forth.

Gu Jianchu asked someone to arrange for Bai Wei to rest in the tea room in the side hall, while the others chatted and ate snacks in the main hall.

"The Empress may not know yet, but General Zhang and the Tang family went to court, but in the end they got nothing. Yang was so angry when she saw the load-bearing wall that she almost had a miscarriage." The eldest lady shared the follow-up melon she had heard this morning.

Gu Jianchu already knew, but he pretended not to know and nodded, "That young General Zhang and Yang deserved what happened to them."

"Who says it's not true? It's just pitiful for Tang Shi to be bullied by this couple."

As soon as the eldest lady finished speaking, Wan Ning brought up another matter, "I heard that the concubine's daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat and this year's top scholar are getting engaged the day after tomorrow, and will be married in three months. Are they in such a hurry because they are afraid they won't be able to find a husband, or are they afraid that the top scholar will be snatched away?"

Of course, the concubine was afraid that delaying would lead to trouble. This concubine in the Zhongshuling's mansion was also a smart person. She had heard from the Zhongshuling that this third place winner was an excellent person with great abilities and great potential for advancement in the future, potentially becoming someone like Xiao Cong. The concubine's daughter was only a concubine's daughter, so even if she tried to marry into a high-ranking family, she couldn't marry into a marquisate. So, she couldn't miss this good opportunity. She was also afraid that the wife would cause trouble and ruin their marriage.

[He whispered in the ear of the Minister of the Central Secretariat and quickly set the marriage date for three months later.]

[A domestic violence man has really become a popular commodity.]

Xie Qingzhi looked at Gu Jianchu in shock. What a big news she had just heard.

The concubine in the Zhongshu Ling family was afraid that her marriage would be broken up by the wife, but it turned out that she was a domestic violence man. The queen seemed to know a lot about it.

No wonder the queen likes to join in the fun all day long.

"The Minister of the Central Secretariat who favors his concubine over his wife?" Concubine Wen asked curiously.

"Who else could it be but him? He listened to our old mother and married my cousin. He is obsessed with her all day long, while his wife is neglected and scolded by our old mother without saying a word. He is just like the Tang family who was punished some time ago." Lady Wan Ning's tone was inevitably angry when she mentioned the Zhongshu Ling family.

"The Zhongshu Ling's wife's family simply saw that the Zhongshu Ling was a high-ranking official. Even though they knew their daughter had been wronged, they had no choice but to let her endure it. They didn't dare to offend the Zhongshu Ling at all, and even tried to please him. Some time ago, they even wanted to send their concubine's daughter to the Zhongshu Ling's residence to establish a good relationship with him, and quickly help them have a child. Then they would give the child to the main wife to raise, and then the child would be a legitimate son."

【Wow, I didn’t even get to eat this melon. 】

[Not long after the Zhou family proposed the idea, Mrs. Zhou rejected it. She reasoned that she, a daughter of the Zhou family, was already suffering in the Zhongshuling household, and there was no need to marry another daughter from the Zhou family. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou was actually a kind-hearted person.]

[It's not that Zhou Shi can't have children, it's that the Minister of the Central Secretariat is constantly visiting the concubine's room. How can Zhou Shi have children?]

I find these men truly bizarre. They're having affairs with concubines, don't visit their wives' rooms more than a few times a month, and then blame them for not having children. Are your wives some kind of novelty? Can they bear children without men? Then what's the point of you?

If you don't sow seeds, and your wife suddenly gets pregnant, you'll be truly terrified. You'll definitely be cuckolded.

[However, I wonder if the Emperor will be unhappy if we openly tease his officials in front of him.]

Xie Qingzhi nodded in agreement.

The Queen’s scolding was justified.

"Why haven't you heard of it?" County Lady Wan Ning asked casually.
