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

"I heard that Lord Wen was also injured?" Gu Jianyue asked in a low voice.

Facing Gu Jianyue's question, Wen Zhu answered truthfully, "It's just some minor injuries. I've already applied medicine."

"Lord Wen saved my sister and me many times, and we sisters have no way to repay him. This is a gift to Lord Wen. My father and brother often used this medicine on the battlefield. It is much better than ordinary medicine. Lord Wen can try it." Gu Jianyue took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Zhu.

Wen Zhu had saved her once before, and she wanted to repay him, but she was busy with the work in the embroidery workshop. Even if she had the opportunity to enter the palace, she would not have met Wen Zhu, and even if she wanted to repay him, she would not have the chance.

When she was at home, she heard the news that Wen Zhu was injured, so she put the medicine on her body when she came.

Wen Zhu hesitated and didn't reach out to take it. "I've already applied the medicine. Miss, you should take the golden wound medicine back."

"These medicines are not valuable things. Lord Wen, you should keep them. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy." Gu Jianchu stuffed the medicine into Wen Zhu's hand, turned around and left.

Wen Zhu looked at Gu Jianyue's back, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and didn't say the last word.

Frost suddenly appeared out of nowhere and patted Wen Zhu on the shoulder, "Sir Wen, this is going to be a great success. If you are with the Empress's sister, your value will also rise. After all, there is such a relationship. Sir Wen, don't forget to take care of the brothers when the time comes."

Wen Zhu slapped Shuang Jiang's hand off her shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How could Miss Gu and I be together?"

"That's not necessarily true. Don't be so absolute about things." Shuangjiang crossed his arms over his chest, trying to lower his voice, fearing that someone on the other side of the wall might be eavesdropping.

Wen Zhu did not refute, but reminded, "Have you dealt with everything the emperor asked you to deal with? You are just talking nonsense here."

"You and Chongfeng are both injured. My current mission is to protect the safety of the Emperor and the Empress, so just guard here. By the way, how is the investigation of the brown bear going?" Shuangjiang asked casually.

Wen Zhu glanced over and Shuangjiang shut up instantly.

Wen Zhu strode into the main hall of Yong'an Hall.

Nanping Hou was still talking to Xie Ci'an and hadn't left yet. Wen Zhu glanced at Xie Ci'an and was about to leave when Xie Ci'an raised his hand to stop her. "Don't be shy. The Marquis is one of us. Just say whatever you want to say."

Wen Zhu said truthfully, "Your Majesty, after an inspection, it was confirmed that someone had drugged the brown bear's food, which is why it attacked people for no reason in the hunting grounds today. I'm still investigating who drugged it, but the eunuch who was feeding the brown bear said that a woman appeared nearby last night. The brown bear is so large that it's difficult for ordinary people to get close. He didn't think much of it at the time and went back to rest."

Gu Hou was a man of short temper. He slammed the table after hearing this, especially when he thought about the fact that the brown bear had injured his daughter. "What? Someone actually drugged the brown bear? Your Majesty, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Once the murderer is caught, he must be severely punished."

Xie Ci'an knew that Gu Yuanqing had a bad temper, but he didn't expect him to be so irritable, especially the table that was slammed by Gu Yuanqing, which was shaking and almost falling apart. "My Lord, please calm down. I have already ordered people to investigate this matter. We must get to the bottom of it."

"That's good, otherwise Ah Chu..."

Gu Yuanqing realized something was wrong halfway through his words and quickly changed his words, "Otherwise, the Empress's injury would have been in vain."

Gu Jianchu, who had just rested in the inner hall, was awakened by a slap from his father. Gu Jianchu rubbed his sleepy eyes and struggled to sit up. Zhu Xia, who was standing by, was so scared that she hurried forward and supported Gu Jianchu's arm, "My queen, please go slowly."

"What happened outside? Why is Dad so angry?" Gu Jianchu coughed lightly.

Zhu Xia immediately explained, "I heard that it was Wen Zhu who found out that the brown bear was drugged. The Marquis hadn't left yet, and when he learned about this in front of the Emperor, he became furious."

"Daddy is just too impulsive." Gu Jianchu just sighed and ignored it. This little thing would not offend the king.

The eunuch hadn't ignored the bear because it was too difficult to approach. Instead, Mi Yue bribed him with a gold cake. Mi Yue told the eunuch that she loved brown bears and had never seen such a large animal before, so she wanted to come in and take a look.

The young eunuch accepted the gold cake and naturally didn't try to stop her. The brown bear was huge, and Mi Yue was just a little girl. The young eunuch assumed Mi Yue wouldn't do anything to the brown bear, so he ignored her and went straight into his room to rest.

Mi Yue also took this opportunity to drug the brown bear, causing it to go berserk when it smelled a certain scent.

"Don't worry, Lord Gu, this matter will definitely not be left unresolved like this." Xie Ci'an's frosty eyes swept towards Wen Zhu again, "Have you found out anything else?"

"My subordinates and Chongfeng split up into two groups. Chongfeng went to check the horses ridden by the emperor and the empress, and found this in the saddle." Wen Zhu said as he handed a handkerchief to Xie Ci'an, which contained something ground into powder.

"I specifically asked Imperial Physician Lin to examine this powder. This powder contains a certain type of snakeberry, which complements the sage found in brown bears. Imperial Physician Lin said that animals that have taken the sage will go mad and attack humans upon smelling the snakeberry. The horse the Empress rode contained a significant amount of snakeberry. This person must be targeting the Empress and the Emperor."

"Have you found the murderer?" Xie Ci'an clenched his fingers into fists under his sleeves, his expression extremely gloomy.

Wen Zhu immediately knelt down and said, "I am incompetent and have not yet found the murderer. However, I am already investigating with Zhong Feng. The murderer must be away from the palace."

"This matter is of great importance, so please ask Lord Gu to assist us and find the murderer as soon as possible to prevent the murderer from targeting me and the queen." Xie Ci'an said, his cold eyes falling on Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing didn't think much about it, "I will do my best to find the murderer as soon as possible."

Zhu Xia in the inner room was a little worried and said, "Your Majesty, if you let the master investigate this matter, I'm afraid it will offend people."

Gu Jianchu didn't think so. The murderer was Mi Yue. If he let his father investigate, his father would have to unravel the case himself and find out that the murderer was hiding next to him. In this way, his elder brother and his parents would naturally not be able to continue to be deceived by Mi Yue and would not continue to protect Mi Yue.

It is a good idea that the emperor handed this case over to my father.

"Daddy knows his limits." After saying this, Gu Jianchu slowly lay down tiredly and continued to rest.

Since the Queen Mother didn't stop him, Zhu Xia couldn't say anything more. She stepped aside and waited. When Gu Jianchu woke up, it was already night.
