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

Zhiqiu was afraid of offending the queen, so she came to Gu Jianyue cautiously. As she trotted over, she kept breathing heavily and looked a little panicked. She whispered a few words in Gu Jianyue's ear.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jianyue hurriedly dropped the chopsticks and teacup beside him. The sound of the teacup falling to the ground was infinitely amplified in the empty hall, and everyone looked over.

Gu Jianyue didn't have time to pick up the chopsticks. She looked blankly in the direction of Gu Jianchu, her fingers trembling under her sleeves.

Ah Chu’s guess turned out to be correct.

"What's wrong, sister?" Gu Jianchu's concerned voice sounded in the hall.

Gu Jianyue's mind was instantly pulled back, and she hurriedly bent down to pick up the broken bowl and cup on the ground. Before she could touch it, Gu Jianchu's voice rang out again, "Sister, let Yunhe and the others clean it up. Be careful not to hurt your hands."

Yunhe quickly arranged for the young eunuch to pick up the fragments and wipe up the broken pieces.

Gu Jianyue's fingers tensed beneath her sleeves. She gripped the handle at her side tightly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm a little full from eating. I'd like to go for a walk in the palace's back garden. I heard that not only are the chrysanthemums in bloom, but there's also a viewing platform where you can see maple forests covering the entire mountain. I don't know if it's real or not, but I'd like to take a look."

Gu Jianbai looked at his sister suspiciously.

I don’t know what Gu Jianyue is talking about.

Not only was Gu Jianbai confused, but even Xie Qingzhi and Wen Zhaoyi looked at him suspiciously.

They hadn't finished their meal yet, but Gu Jianyue went to see the maple forest for no reason. It was indeed a bit strange.

Xie Qingzhi did not rush to refute. Based on the Queen's thoughts just now and Gu Jianyue's panicked actions, it can be proved that the Queen and her sisters must be involved in something.

It turns out that my elder sister had become suspicious of Mi Yue and had sent Zhiqiu to secretly follow her whereabouts. After my elder sister and elder brother arrived at the Fengzao Palace for a banquet, Mi Yue brought the chicken soup she had cooked to the emperor. Zhiqiu, who was beside my elder sister, saw everything and ran to tell my elder sister in shock.

Although my sister's excuse was a bit perfunctory, it was still a pillow offered to me when I was dozing off, saving me from having to think of any excuses.

Based on Gu Jianchu's thoughts, Xie Qingzhi brainstormed for a long time before finally figuring out the idea.

What Gu Jianchu and Gu Jianyue should be talking about is the same thing, that is, the woman that Gu Jianbai brought back had different thoughts about the emperor.

These women, regardless of their identities, wanted to seduce the emperor and become his concubines. At that time, when she was hunting, according to Gu Jianchu's thoughts, she had secretly looked at the woman named Mi Yue. She was rather ordinary in appearance, not even as pretty as the imperial concubine at that time.

In the past, the imperial concubine had tried many times to seduce Xie Ci'an, but Xie Ci'an never even looked at them. Instead, his heart was completely devoted to the queen. This shows that Xie Ci'an is a loyal person.

However, seducing the emperor is something that cannot be tolerated.

Of the five people present, only Wen Zhaoyi and Gu Jianbai were not in any trouble. Wen Zhaoyi couldn't help but worry, "I'm afraid the Empress's health won't allow her to move around much."

"It's okay. Yunhe goes to prepare the sedan chair. I have never seen the scenery of this palace before, so it's a good opportunity to go and take a look." Gu Jianchu picked up the chrysanthemum tea and took a few sips to moisten his throat.

Soon Yunhe prepared the sedan chair.

Considering Gu Jianchu's health, a thick blanket was laid on the sedan chair, and soft pillows were placed at Gu Jianchu's hands. With the support of Wen Zhaoyi and Zhu Xia, Gu Jianchu sat on the sedan chair. Then four young eunuchs each lifted a corner of it and walked towards the observation deck of the palace. On the way, they would inevitably pass by the chrysanthemum garden in the back garden.

Chrysanthemums of various colors bloomed all over the palace. Occasionally, butterflies would land on the flowers and play around. Even the air was filled with the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums.

However, the few of them had no time to appreciate the chrysanthemums and were completely focused on eating the melons.

Several people followed the sedan chair and soon arrived at the observation deck.

The viewing platform is built into a corridor with pavilions connected to the corridor, and at the end of the corridor is a temple for visitors to rest. Although it is not big, it has everything.

The sedan chair carried Gu Jianchu all the way to the corridor. They stood on the corridor for a while, and the maple forest in the distance was in full view. It was so beautiful, but Gu Jianyue was in no mood to enjoy the scenery.

Although Xie Ci'an treats Gu Jianchu well, Mi Yue also has some tricks up her sleeve, otherwise she wouldn't have bewitched Gu Jianbai so much. If Mi Yue really gets to the top, they would be really sorry for Achu, so they must take precautions before it happens.

Gu Jianyue glanced at Zhu Xia, who consciously made way for her. Gu Jianyue stepped forward and supported Gu Jianchu's arm. "Achu, you're not feeling well yet. You must be tired after walking these few steps. Do you want to go to the palace in front to rest for a while? Ask Qiutou to get some snacks. We can eat while looking at the maple forest and chrysanthemums in the palace."

The design of this viewing platform is very subtle. On one side, you can see the maple forest all over the mountain behind, and on the other side, you can enjoy the scenery of the entire palace, including the chrysanthemums in the back garden.

The reason why Gu Jianyue made such a suggestion was to lure Gu Jianchu into the palace.

Gu Jianchu nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'm a little tired now."

Gu Jianyue supported Gu Jianchu and walked in front. When they arrived in front of the palace, Gu Jianyue was about to open the door when Gu Jianchu suddenly grabbed Gu Jianyue's hand and signaled Gu Jianyue with his eyes. Gu Jianyue immediately understood.

I thought Gu Jianchu didn't know that Mi Yue was trying to seduce the emperor, but it turned out that Gu Jianchu had been on guard for a long time.

Also.

Since Gu Jianchu already had some doubts about Mi Yue, he must have made plans early.

Gu Jianchu did not rush to push the door open to catch the adulterer. Instead, he gently opened the door a crack so that the people inside would not notice them, but they could see the situation inside and hear the sounds inside.

In fact, what she did was just to let Gu Jianbai see Mi Yue's character clearly, and she was not in a hurry to take action.

When they saw Mi Yue and Xie Ci'an through the gap, the three people following behind were all shocked. Wen Zhaoyi looked at Gu Jianchu eagerly, but saw that there was no extra expression on the queen's face.

The little girl rescued by the Gu family is trying to seduce the emperor.

Although Xie Qingzhi said he was prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the two of them together.

Gu Jianbai frowned and was about to ask for clarification, but he saw Gu Jianyue shaking her head at him, signaling him not to ask any more questions. Gu Jianbai swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and looked at Mi Yue and Xie Ci'an with confusion.

At the same time, Mi Yue in the room had no idea that a group of people had gathered outside the room.

Mi Yue took out the chicken soup from the food box and handed it to Xie Ci'an with a flattering smile on her face. "Your Majesty, this is the pheasant you gave me as a gift. I saw that the pheasant was fresh, so I made the chicken soup myself and sent it to Your Majesty to taste. I also want to thank Your Majesty for the gold and silver jewelry you gave me. I like them very much."
