"As for Rong Zhi, she invited Gu Geng to the palace, and had an affair with a man outside her before they were engaged. She even wanted to elope. It's really wrong. She will be punished by being confined to the royal Buddhist temple and forced to copy the female instructions and precepts a hundred times. When you finish copying, you can go home and take everyone away." Xie Ci'an waved his hands irritably. All the good things were interrupted by these people.

Lord Rong didn't dare to plead for his daughter now. Compared to the punishment imposed by the emperor, this one was considered light. If it was a severe punishment, he might be beaten with a stick. The main thing was that Gu Geng had been invited to the royal palace. If something happened, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Rong Zhi and Gu Geng were taken away separately.

Rong Zhi was even sent away by the Imperial Guards overnight.

After watching the excitement, Xie Qingzhi did not stay in Yong'an Hall for long. He found an excuse and left.

Xie Qingzhi still wanted to go find Jiang Fengmian, but when she saw the time, she gave up. After all, Jiang Fengmian would never see her so late at night, and might even say something about intimacy between men and women.

Following Xie Ci'an's glance, Cheng Song immediately led the palace servants to retreat. Xie Ci'an immediately picked up Gu Jianchu and strode towards the room. His lips were breathing hot air, and he didn't forget to whisper in Gu Jianchu's ear, "You've watched the excitement for a long time. Now it's time to digest it. The Queen has nothing to refuse, right?"

Gu Jianchu leaned in Xie Ci'an's arms, the man's warm breath all sprinkled on her earlobe, an itchy feeling instantly spread throughout her body, and her earlobe was barely noticeably stained with a layer of shy blush.

Gu Jianchu thought about it for a long time, but really couldn't think of a suitable reason.

Before she could react, Gu Jianchu was laid on the large and soft bed by Xie Ci.

The hollow bell hanging beside the bed contains mugwort, which is used to smoke mosquitoes. Although it is a mobile palace, it is built in the mountains to facilitate hunting. Even in autumn, there are relatively many mosquitoes in the mountains. The faint scent of mugwort lingers beside the bed, accompanied by curling smoke.

Xie Ci'an pressed down with his whole body, and his fingers casually reached into Gu Jianchu's clothes. His fingers with thin calluses slowly moved over her soft flesh, but soon an itchy feeling swept over her whole body. Gu Jianchu naturally hooked his arms around Xie Ci'an's neck, and his lips actively pressed against the man's soft lips and teeth. His slender fingers restlessly circled around Xie Ci'an's waist, and with a little force from his fingers, Xie Ci'an's waist belt was untied by him.

Now Gu Jianchu has learned to be smart. When Xie Ci'an wants her, she will cater to Xie Ci'an appropriately. As long as she can please Xie Ci'an, she will suffer less.

Just as Xie Ci'an was about to untie Gu Jianchu's waist belt, there was a noisy sound outside.

"I want to see the Queen, please save me."

"Don't stop me. Please help me inform her that I want to see the Queen. I want to see the Queen. Please save my life."

The heart-wrenching sound came into the room through the courtyard wall.

After all, the building area of the temporary palace is not as large as that of the imperial palace, and the sounds outside can easily be heard in the room.

Xiao Fuzi was still outside leading people to drive away the intruders.

Gu Jianchu released his hands from around Xie Ci'an's neck and quickly sat up.

Xie Ci'an was completely distracted and lost all interest. He just wanted to be intimate with the queen, and this bumping into each other was really endless.

Xie Cian sat up, his tone filled with undisguised irritation, "Something happened outside."

Hearing the voice, Cheng Song almost trotted into the room. He was running so fast that he almost tripped over the door frame. He stumbled several steps before he could finally stand. Cheng Song adjusted his hat and stood behind the screen to report the situation truthfully, "It's the wife of Zhou Han, the third place winner in the imperial examination. She's also the concubine of the Minister of the Central Secretariat. I don't know how she got into the inner courtyard and she's clamoring to see the Empress. No matter how I chased her away, she wouldn't leave. Now she's even yelling in front of me."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't worry. I will order someone to ask this lady to leave right away. She will definitely not disturb Your Majesty and Your Majesty's rest." Cheng Song said as he was about to go out to do this.

【Something happened.】

Xie Ci'an frowned, wondering what could happen so late at night.

[Before this, the concubine's daughter had revealed to her mother the incident of Zhou Han beating her. Zhou Han disguised himself extremely well in front of outsiders, and in front of the Zhongshuling family, he took great care of her, portraying her as a good husband. Therefore, the concubine's mother refused to believe that Zhou Han had not committed domestic violence, especially since the concubine's daughter had no obvious injuries. The mother even warned her daughter not to talk nonsense and to treat Zhou Han well, saying that this was a marriage family she had finally found, and that with her status as a concubine, she would never have found such a family. Then, she ordered someone to bring some food and send the concubine back to Zhou Han.]

Zhou Han had long since taken control of the entire mansion, including the servants who served the concubine. Although they likely had no sexual relations, Zhou Han was willing to bribe them with money, having them monitor his wife's every move, under the pretext of protecting her. The servants, having received the money, undoubtedly worked tirelessly to assist Zhou Han, and even envied the concubine for finding such a good husband.

[This isn't just a case of a domestic violence man. It's terrifying to monitor his wife's every move.]

After the concubine's daughter returned from her parents' home, Zhou Han asked the maidservant beside her what the mistress and mother-in-law had said. Unprepared, the maidservant told Zhou Han everything the mistress and the old lady had said. Zhou Han immediately revealed his ugly face when he heard about it.

He ordered the maids and servants to rest, then dragged the concubine daughter and began to abuse her. The concubine daughter could only desperately beg for mercy, pretentiously serving Zhou Han until he could rest. Then she took the opportunity to run away. She had originally wanted to find her parents, but they didn't trust her now. After thinking it over, she saw that the door to the inner courtyard was not closed, so she mustered all her strength and rushed to the inner courtyard, running all the way to Yong'an Hall. After all, she had come here when she came to pay her respects to me during the day.

She knew clearly that I was her last straw. If she couldn't see me and was taken back by Zhou Han, he would definitely find a way to beat her to death. Her parents didn't believe her at all and would definitely not let her divorce Zhou Han.

It's not right for a daughter to take the blame for her father's sins. Besides, Zhou Han has already caused a death. Both the old and new cases need to be settled together. Otherwise, once this third place scholar gains power, he might not be a good person.

"Wait a minute." Gu Jianchu spoke to stop Cheng Song who was walking out.

Cheng Song quickly stopped and looked at Gu Jianchu, "I wonder what instructions the Queen has."

"Bring the person in." Xie Ci'an finished speaking for Gu Jianchu.
