"If I don't admit it, there's no way to convict me. Do you want to force me to confess?" Mi Yue looked at Xie Ci'an on the side, hoping that Xie Ci'an could help her, but Xie Ci'an didn't even look at her. Instead, he was seriously massaging Gu Jianchu's waist and arms.

"Do you still need to torture me to confess? The things we found in your room alone are enough to convict you. What else do you have to say?"

Gu Yuanqing dropped a word and his gaze fell back on the emperor and empress, "Your Majesty, now that the murderer has been caught, I don't know what to do with him."

"You plotted to murder the queen and also tried to seduce me. This is a serious crime. Just execute him by slow slicing. Let everyone see the consequences of plotting to murder the queen and seducing me." Xie Ci'an waved his hands irritably.

Immediately, two guards came forward, held Mi Yue's arms and were about to walk out.

Mi Yue panicked instantly. She no longer had the fearless look she had before. She was really scared. The emperor was not joking with her. Mi Yue struggled hard, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I can tell you the blueprints for making a hand cannon, as well as glass and soap. As long as you can spare my life, that's all."

Gu Jianchu suddenly raised his hand to stop the two guards.

Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an and said, "Your Majesty, since Miss Mi Yue is willing to hand over these things, will you spare her life?"

"There are hand guns in the armory. As for soap and other things, can they be compared with the queen's life? This woman is very scheming. She dared to plot against the queen today. Who knows what she will do tomorrow. Letting such a person go is like letting a tiger return to the mountain." Xie Ci'an comforted Gu Jianchu.

Xie Ci'an has always adhered to the principle of rather killing someone innocently than letting them go. He has not forgotten what he had eavesdropped on Gu Jianchu before. This woman also has a system on her, and it is an even more evil strategy system. Although he doesn't know what this system is, it is definitely not a good thing. Xie Ci'an will naturally not leave such a security risk.

Hearing the emperor say this, Mi Yue became completely anxious and kept calling the system.

Mi Yue received no response from the system, and was taken out by two guards with a dejected look on her face.

Gu Jianchu couldn't help but call out his own system.

[Tongzi, can the Miyue system protect her life?]

[What are you talking about, dear? That's a capture system, not a life-saving system. How could it possibly save lives? The capture system's primary goal is to capture people. Mi Yue hasn't completed the capture. Even if she isn't killed by the Emperor, she will be wiped out by the system soon. Furthermore, captures have a time limit. The reason Mi Yue is so foolish and anxious to capture is probably because her time is very limited and is almost up. Otherwise, she could slowly capture people's hearts, which would increase her chances of success.]

Hearing Tongzi say this, Gu Jianchu felt relieved.

She had to make sure the Raiders Girl didn't make a comeback.

Gu Jianbai fell to his knees in front of Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an with a thud. "It's all my fault for being so blind that I brought a person with evil intentions into the capital, and even brought the imperial palace with me. I almost harmed the Emperor and the Empress. I beg the Emperor and the Empress to punish me."

Xie Ci'an turned the jade ring on his hand with a gloomy expression.

Gu Jianchu remained silent and did not plead for his brother. There was nothing wrong with bringing Mi Yue to the capital, but bringing Mi Yue to the palace almost harmed Xie Ci'an. The eldest brother was more or less responsible for everything. The eldest brother needed to learn a long lesson from this incident and should not be too sympathetic and bring anyone to the capital.

As for Gu Yuanqing and Gu Jianyue, they also did not plead for mercy.

Because of a Mi Yue, Gu Jianchu and the entire Gu family almost lost their lives.

Xie Ci'an hesitated to speak, and the air was particularly solemn. "General Gu's actions are indeed sinful, but you hunted the brown bear and rescued the emperor in time, so your merits can offset your demerits. However, bringing a villain to the palace is truly unforgivable. You will be fined six months' salary and confined to the Marquis' Mansion for three months to reflect on your mistakes. The confinement will be carried out after you return to the palace."

Gu Jianbai kowtowed quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Xie Ci'an waved his hand, and everyone consciously left the hall and left the observation deck.

The viewing platform was built on the mountain. To reach the viewing platform, one needs to climb three meters high winding stone steps. The crowd left in groups of three or two.

When he reached the last few steps, Gu Jianyue slipped and fell down.

Just when she was about to fall, Wen Zhu, who was walking in front of her, quickly grabbed Gu Jianyue's waist, so that Gu Jianyue did not fall directly, but fell with Wen Zhu, and her whole body fell on Wen Zhu, who was used as a cushion.

When the people walking in front heard the sound, they hurried back and saw the two people stacked on top of each other.

Suddenly seeing so many people surrounding them, Gu Jianyue and Wen Zhu's faces turned red instantly. Gu Jianyue didn't even care whether he was injured or not, and rolled off Wen Zhu directly.

Zhiqiu immediately stepped forward and helped Gu Jianyue up from the ground, "Miss, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine." Gu Jianyue shook her head quickly.

The breeze was clearly cool, but at that time she felt quite hot. Even the pain in her body was masked by the heat.

Wen Zhu was a martial artist after all, and was used to both major and minor injuries. He quickly got up from the ground and brushed off the dust on his body.

Gu Jianyue lowered her eyes and bowed to Wen Zhu, "Thank you for saving me just now, Lord Wen. I just wonder if you are injured."

Although the place where they fell was not very high, but considering her weight, Gu Jianyue was not sure whether Wen Zhu was injured.

"It's okay." Wen Zhu was hit in the waist by a stone, but seeing so many people here, he endured it and was too embarrassed to say anything.

"Since everything is fine, let's go our separate ways." Xie Qingzhi left quickly after saying this. She had finally got the chance to see Jiang Fengmian, so she had to cherish it.

Wen Zhaoyi nodded to Gu Jianyue and Gu Yuanqing, then hurried away with her maid.

Only the Gu family and Wen Zhu were left at the scene.

Gu Yuanqing bowed to Wen Zhu, and Wen Zhu was so frightened that she bowed back. "Thank you very much, Lord Wen, for saving my daughter so many times. I will prepare a generous gift one day to thank you Lord Wen."

"Your Majesty, you are really embarrassing me. Miss Gu is the Queen's sister. Protecting the Queen is my duty. As for protecting Miss Gu, it is just a matter of convenience. Your Majesty and Miss Gu don't have to take it to heart." Wen Zhu said in a humble tone.

"Sir Wen is a favorite of the Emperor, so protecting him is only natural. I have to thank you for protecting my daughter so many times. Sir Wen, there is no need to refuse me here. I, Gu, hate owing favors to others the most in my life."
