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

"What are you all doing here? Why don't you go in?"

"Why is Daddy here?" When she saw Gu Yuanqing, Gu Jianchu was surprised for a moment. She had not made any arrangements for Daddy to come.

"Your humble servant and Lord Wen have found out who drugged the brown bear and caused it to injure people. We originally wanted to go to Yong'an Hall to report to the emperor, but Xiao Fuzi said that the emperor was on the observation deck and asked us to come here to report." Gu Yuanqing explained.

Just at this moment, Xie Ci'an's voice came from the room, "Come in."

Led by the Queen, everyone pushed the door open and walked in.

Although Gu Jianchu had no broken bones, the abrasions on his body still hurt whenever they were pulled, so he couldn't walk well and needed someone to support him.

Just as Gu Jianyue helped Gu Jianchu into the hall, Xie Ci'an stood up to greet them. Without any support, he directly picked up Gu Jianchu and placed him on a soft couch beside him. Then he sat next to Gu Jianchu, occasionally pinching Gu Jianchu's arm with his fingers, and his body unconsciously moved close to Gu Jianchu.

I wanted to use the smell of Gu Jianchu to replace the smell that Mi Yue had just smelled when she got close to me.

Gu Jianbai looked at Mi Yue with a look of disappointment and anger. Finally, he couldn't help but question, "Mi Yue, I kindly brought you from Lingnan to the capital. Knowing that you had nowhere to live, I let you live in the Marquis' Mansion. This is how you repay us. Not only do you care about my sister's position as queen, but you also care about our family's military power."

Gu Yuanqing looked towards Mi Yue in surprise, "What did you say?"

Gu Jianbai fell to his knees in front of Gu Yuanqing with a thud, "Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't have much brains and believed what others said. I almost let her harm my sister."

"When will you learn to be smarter and realize that you are kind? Being kind is not a bad thing, but you cannot show your kindness to anyone casually, because some people don't deserve it and may even bite you back." Gu Yuanqing did not blame Gu Jianbai too much. Instead, he raised his hand to help Gu Jianbai up.

Gu Yuanqing looked at Mi Yue with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Mi Yue looked at the Gu family with a guilty look on her face. She didn't expect that the Gu family were all outside and had heard her conversation with Xie Ci'an.

At that time, he used the Gu family to meet the emperor. Although he intended to please him, his purpose was exposed, and Mi Yue was indeed very guilty.

Gu Jianchu was too lazy to watch them continue to dwell on these matters, so he slowly changed the subject, "I just heard from my father that the murderer who tampered with the brown bear and intended to murder the emperor and me has been found. I just don't know who the murderer is."

Hearing this, Mi Yue's eyes flashed with panic.

Compared to his son's anger, Gu Yuanqing seemed much calmer, his face showing no emotion. "After interrogating the young eunuch who raised the brown bear, he couldn't stand the punishment and confessed everything."

Gu Yuanqing glanced at Wen Zhu, and Wen Zhu immediately went out and brought the young eunuch in.

The young eunuch who was brought in had been beaten black and blue, and there was a strong smell of blood on his body. His fingers had obviously been clamped. The young eunuch was like a rag and was almost thrown to the ground. The young eunuch lay on the ground, looking at Mi Yue beside him with painful eyes. His finger was almost trembling as he raised it and pointed in Mi Yue's direction. "It was her. She was the one who gave me a piece of gold cake that night, saying that I wanted to see the might of the brown bear. I thought the brown bear was huge and nothing would happen, but I didn't expect her to drug the brown bear and murder the emperor and the empress."

"I have realized my mistake. I beg Your Majesty, please spare my life."

Mi Yue was now completely panicked and kept shaking her head, "No, I didn't drug you, this is slander."

"I have raised this brown bear for several years and there has never been any problem. But the problem occurred after the young lady went to see the brown bear. The imperial physician has found drug residues in the bowl where the brown bear ate. What else do you have to defend yourself? It's all my fault for being greedy and taking your money." The young eunuch angrily accused Mi Yue.

"Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it? Maybe there was a problem with the brown bear you raised, and you were afraid of taking responsibility, so you pushed all the blame onto a little girl like me." Mi Yue argued with her neck stiff.

The young eunuch tremblingly took out a gold cake from his clothes and handed it to the emperor. "This gold cake was given to me by this girl. Your Majesty can send someone to investigate the origin of this gold cake and find out if it belongs to this girl. Who would give someone a gold cake for no reason?"

Gu Jianbai stepped forward and took the gold cake from the young eunuch. "Your Majesty, Empress, there's no need to check. This gold cake was given to Miss Mi Yue by this humble servant. Mi Yue didn't have much money, and I was worried she wouldn't have enough to spend when traveling in and out of the capital. So I gave her two gold cakes that I had saved up, so she could keep them for her own use. I never thought they would be used to harm the Empress."

"This gold cake is very easy to recognize. There is a word 'Gu' engraved on one corner of the gold cake. I did not tell Miss Mi Yue about this detail at the time, so Mi Yue did not know this detail on the gold cake." Gu Jianbai handed the gold cake to Yun He.

Yunhe held the golden cake and presented it to Xie Ci'an.

Xie Ci'an frowned instantly when he saw the gold cake. Sure enough, he saw the words that belonged to the Gu family engraved on an inconspicuous place on the gold cake. Xie Ci'an threw the gold cake in front of Mi Yue and asked coldly, "What else do you have to explain?"

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Mi Yue hesitated for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, even if I gave the golden cake to this eunuch, it doesn't mean that I drugged him."

Gu Yuanqing glanced at Mi Yue who was still struggling, and shouted outside, "Bring the food up."

Immediately, a guard carried a tray into the resting palace of the observation deck and handed it to Mi Yue. "After learning from the eunuch that you were the one who drugged me, I immediately had someone search your residence. They found these two packets of powdered medicine under the cracks in the bricks of your room. I've had the Imperial Hospital check them, and they're exactly the same as the medicine Brown Bear took and the scented powder found on the Empress's saddle. Do you have any more explanation?"

"Just because it was found in my room, does that mean it must be mine?" Mi Yue forced herself to retort.

Gu Yuanqing looked at Mi Yue with murderous eyes. It was fine if she had deceived his son, but she had almost harmed his precious daughter. He absolutely couldn't let it go like this. "If it's not yours, then how could it still be ours? We have no grudges against you, so why would we harm you? Or do you think that if you don't admit it, there's no way to punish you?"
