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

Zhu Xia ran out quickly with the Hu pancake and handed it to the two of them.

It’s no wonder that the servants in Kunning Palace are loyal to Gu Jianchu. Gu Jianchu treats them, the palace servants, very well and always thinks of them when he has something delicious. Even if something happens at home, Gu Jianchu will lend a helping hand.

"The Hubing is really well made, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It has a unique flavor when paired with the pork elbow. No wonder this restaurant is so popular." Gu Jianchu ate the Hubing while drinking the soup in the bowl.

"It's my first time here too, and the taste is really good." Xie Qingzhi ate without much image, but luckily they were all in plain clothes so no one would notice them.

【broken.】

Xie Qingzhi hadn't even swallowed a bite of the cake yet and looked at the queen warily.

[Gu Geng actually came over. Gu Geng knows me and Xie Qingzhi. We must not let Gu Geng see us.]

Xie Qingzhi was sitting with his back to the door and would not be noticed. On the contrary, Gu Jianchu was facing the door and could be easily seen. When he noticed Gu Geng coming in, Gu Jianchu hurriedly lowered his head, eating a Hu pancake in small bites while paying attention to Gu Geng's movements.

Gu Geng ordered a dozen Hubings and left in a hurry.

Gu Geng came to buy food for his elopement. After all, the journey to Jiangnan was long, and he might even be pursued by the Minister of Imperial Clan Affairs.

After Gu Geng left, Xie Qingzhi and Gu Jianchu wolfed down their food almost in tacit understanding.

After finishing their meal, the two said almost in unison, "I'm a little full. Let's go for a walk to digest the food before returning to the palace."

Gu Jianchu didn’t know whether Xie Qingzhi was really full, but she wasn’t really full, she just wanted to eat melon.

Just go eat melons.

Before Xie Qingzhi and Li Shicheng divorced, Li Shicheng tried to win over the Minister of the Imperial Clan and brought Xie Qingzhi to visit him. The Minister of the Imperial Clan was a stubborn and old-fashioned man and directly rejected Li Shicheng's proposal. Even Li Shicheng's goodwill was rejected.

Xie Qingzhi was quite familiar with the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Clan. They turned into a small alley and arrived outside the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Clan.

Zhou Hui and Yun He followed from a distance, fearing that something might happen to their two masters.

Xie Qingzhi was fine. If anything unexpected happened to the queen, they could just deal with her outside the palace.

In the past, when they went out of the palace with the emperor, they were followed by Wen Zhu and Chong Feng, who were both extremely powerful. Now that there are only the two of them, they are really afraid of accidents.

Gu Jianchu followed Xie Qingzhi. Before he got close, he saw a figure in the darkness slowly moving to the top of the wall. The girl whispered, "Brother Gu Geng."

The man hiding in the dark heard the whispered call and ran out quickly, throwing the luggage he was carrying to the ground, "Sister Rong, throw your bag to me first."

Miss Rong obediently threw the bag she was carrying to Gu Geng. She looked down and her legs couldn't help but go weak. She clutched the wall tightly with both hands, afraid of being discovered. She turned back to look deeper into the yard and said, "Brother Gu Geng, how do I get down here?"

Gu Geng glanced at Rong Zhi's position and opened his arms towards her, "Sister Rong, jump down. I can catch you."

Rong Zhi took a look at the height of the wall and felt his eyes go dark. He tightened his grip on the wall and said, "No, Brother Gu Geng, it's too high. I'm scared. What if you can't catch me?"

"Believe me, Sister Rong. I will definitely catch you. If you don't jump, you will be discovered by the servants in the mansion." Gu Geng urged.

Rong Zhi looked hesitant and kept looking inside the courtyard wall behind him.

Gu Jianchu crossed his arms and whispered, "Is this young lady from the Rong family planning to elope?"

"That's for sure. I usually see this girl being low-key, but I didn't expect her to be so bold." Xie Qingzhi joined Gu Jianchu in the discussion.

Suddenly, there was a burst of dog barking in the yard, and a patrolling servant came to check with a lantern. Rong Zhi was afraid of being discovered, so he climbed to the top of the wall, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and jumped down from the top of the wall.

After all, Rong Zhi was jumping over the wall for the first time and didn't know how much strength to use, so she fell into Gu Geng's arms. Gu Geng was pushed back a few steps by the powerful force, and they both fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Geng was there as a cushion, so Rong Zhi was not seriously injured.

Rong Zhi lay in Gu Geng's arms and raised her head awkwardly, "Brother Gu Geng, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Sister Rong, please get off me first. You're pressing on me." Gu Geng coughed lightly.

Rong Zhi suddenly realized what was happening and quickly rolled off Gu Geng's body. She helped Gu Geng to stand up from the ground and said, "Brother Gu Geng, let's go quickly. If Dad finds us, we won't be able to escape."

Rong Zhi's heart was beating like thunder. After all, it was the first time she did such a thing and she was afraid of being discovered.

Gu Geng rubbed his thigh which was hurt from the fall, and felt that the night was long and he would have many troubles. He had to leave the city quickly, otherwise when the Minister of Zongzheng Temple found out, not only would he not be able to escape, he might even have a leg broken.

The two of them quickly picked up their bags on the ground and were about to leave.

Gu Jianchu glanced at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi immediately understood what she meant and walked forward, pretending to brush past Rong Zhi and bumping into her. Xia Zhi was knocked back two steps. Rong Zhi quickly reached out and supported Xia Zhi, "Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Xia Zhi patted the dust off his sleeves.

Seeing that Xia Zhi was fine, Rong Zhi and Gu Geng did not dare to delay and left quickly, fearing that they would be discovered if they stayed any longer.

Just as the two took two steps out, Xia Zhi touched his waist and turned to look at the two people, "Stop."

Rong Zhi and Gu Geng had done something wrong, so after hearing Xia Zhi's words, they did not stop. Instead, they kept jogging towards the entrance of the alley. However, they had not taken two steps when Zhou Hui drew his sword and stopped them.

Gu Geng raised his hands and looked at the other person fearfully, "Brave man, whatever you want, I can give you gold, silver, and valuables."

After Gu Geng finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Rong Zhi.

After all, they were still at the doorstep. Rong Zhi didn't want to make too much noise, so she quickly grabbed a bunch of jewelry from her bag and held it in front of Zhou Hui. "My brave man, these are the only valuable things we have. I'm giving them all to you. Please give us a way out."

Zhou Hui folded his arms across his chest and said nothing.

Just then Xia Zhi also caught up with them, "Why did you run when I told you to stop?"

Rong Zhi looked at Zhou Hui, then at Xia Zhi, and immediately realized that the two were together.

Compared to Rong Zhi, the young lady who was kept in seclusion, Gu Geng reacted quickly. "We accidentally bumped into you and apologized to you. But you suddenly asked me to stop. It was the dead of night, and who knew if you were a bad guy? We had no choice but to run away."

"It was my fault that I accidentally bumped into you before. I apologize to you again. I'm sorry." Rong Zhi apologized again.
