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

[You're not talking nonsense. Of course I've thought about it. Go ahead.]

[The follow-up was unbelievable until we investigated. Once we did, we were shocked. This Chief Censor was not only involved in the Qingzhou incident, but he also frequently acted as a protective umbrella for many evil forces. Did all memorials related to those evil forces have to go through the Censorate? Then, they were secretly withheld by this Chief Censor, never reaching the Emperor. And he also used this to accept bribes.]

[Besides this, this Chief Censor also kept countless beauties in his mansion. His father-in-law and wife were unaware of this, and now the Imperial City Bureau has discovered it. Furthermore, the Chief Censor also bought and sold official positions in the court. Just based on these things, how could the Emperor not be angry?]

Gu Jianchu had known about keeping a mistress and buying and selling official positions for a long time. He acted as a protective umbrella for evil forces, which could also be seen in the Qingzhou incident.

Even more outrageous was this Chief Censor's enslavement and oppression of the people. A former official, in order to curry favor with the Chief Censor, gave him a jade mine. To exploit the jade, he hired nearby residents to work for him at low prices. Later, he imprisoned the residents in the mines, enslaving them without pay. The people were furious but dared not speak out.

[How could such an outrageous thing actually happen? Such a person should be fed to a brown bear. The Minister of the Central Secretariat is at best short-sighted and inactive. The Chief Censor is actually taking action, but all he does are evil. He only reports good things to the Emperor, making him deaf and blind, giving him a false impression of prosperity.]

I originally thought that this person was buying and selling official positions, bullying young girls, and even acting as a protector for evil forces. I didn't need to let this trouble continue. Now it seems I can just take action.

Gu Jianchu was so angry that she slapped her palm on the soft pillow, but she accidentally pulled the wound on her arm, causing her to gasp.

[Hiss, it hurts, it hurts so much.]

After seeing this letter and hearing Gu Jianchu's thoughts, Xie Ci'an's expression did not look much better.

His face was extremely ugly, his fingers were clenched into fists, the letter in his hand had been crumpled into a ball, and he was on the verge of a rage.

After all, he had served the emperor for a long time. After feeling the emperor's anger, Cheng Song lowered his head and dared not speak at all, even breathing lightly.

Only after hearing Gu Jianchu's cry of pain did Xie Ci'an quickly gather his thoughts, stood up quickly and walked to Gu Jianchu's side, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Ah Chu? Your wound hurts."

Gu Jianchu had to endure it so hard that she didn't scream. She didn't expect Xie Ci'an to notice her. Her face was wrinkled in pain and her complexion was slightly pale. "I accidentally touched the wound."

"Let me take a look." Xie Ci'an said, lifting up Gu Jianchu's sleeve, revealing his bandaged arm. He lifted the bandage and took a look. "Fortunately, the injury wasn't serious, and the wound isn't bleeding. I'll blow on it for you, and it won't hurt in a while."

Xie Ci'an said as he came forward to help Gu Jianchu blow on the wound. The breeze from his mouth blew on the wound, and the originally burning wound instantly healed a lot. "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Xie Ci'an couldn't help but tap Gu Jianchu's eyebrows and gently scolded him, "Be more careful next time, or I'll feel bad."

Gu Jianchu was so angry at the Chief Censor that he couldn't help but touch the wound, otherwise he wouldn't have touched it.

Gu Jianchu leaned in Xie Ci'an's arms and nodded obediently, "Okay, I will be more careful in the future and will never touch the wound again. I am sorry to make the emperor feel sorry for me."

"Now you're being obedient. Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Xie Ci'an rubbed Gu Jianchu's black satin hair.

Gu Jianchu shook his head and said, "No, I can't sleep anymore."

After hearing what the Chief Censor had done, she was so angry that her heart ached. How could she possibly sleep?

"Since you can't sleep, I'll play chess with you." Xie Ci'an carried Gu Jianchu to the bedside.

Zhu Xia and others moved the small table and placed it on the bed, then placed the chessboard on the small table, and did not forget to bring over some cakes. The Queen liked to eat some cakes every time she played chess with the Emperor.

Gu Jianchu played two games of chess with the emperor.

The mechanical sound of the system sounded in Gu Jianchu's mind.

【There are melons to eat, but don’t you want to eat them?】

Gu Jianchu was staring at the chessboard in a daze while holding the chess piece, while his thoughts were completely on the melon.

[If you don't eat the melon when you have it, you're a bastard. Whose melon is it?

【Gu Jianyue's melon. 】

[Oh no, this isn't like eating a melon and then ending up on my own head. But what melon can my sister have?]

When Gu Jianyue came down from the observation deck, she nearly fell. It was Wen Zhu who quickly saved her from falling. However, Wen Zhu, in order to protect her, acted as a cushion for her and accidentally injured her waist on the rocks below. When Gu Jianyue learned about this, she secretly went to deliver medicine to Wen Zhu without telling Marquis Gu.

[My sister and Wen Zhu? ]

[Counting this time, Wen Zhu has helped my sister twice. I don't think there's really anything going on between these two.]

[Who knows? But at the moment, it seems like neither of them has any intentions towards each other. Wen Zhu protects Gu Jianyue simply because she's your sister. Gu Jianyue also treats Wen Zhu quite simply, considering her a benefactor who helped her twice.]

"Actually, Wen Zhu is pretty good too. Even though my sister is pretty alone right now, it's not bad if she has someone to keep her company."

Xie Ci’an:…

The queen really wants to be a matchmaker. First it was Xie Qingzhi and Jiang Fengmian, and now it’s Wen Zhu and Gu Jianyue.

But it seems that it would be nice if this couple could get together. Wen Zhu, Chong Feng and others have been by his side for many years. If they don't find someone themselves, he will consider arranging a marriage for them. He can't let someone who is loyal to him live alone for the rest of his life. It would be better if they find someone they like.

Xie Ci'an coughed lightly and reminded, "It's time for the Queen to leave."

Gu Jianchu's thoughts were quickly pulled back. He stared at the chessboard in front of him seriously. After thinking for a moment, he finally made a move, "I'm afraid the emperor is going to lose."

"If I lose, I will grant the Queen one wish." Xie Ci'an smiled dotingly.

Gu Jianchu nodded happily in agreement.

At the same time, outside the courtyard set aside for the Royal Guards, two women were looking around curiously.

A guard who happened to be passing by stopped in front of the two and asked with concern, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Gu Jianyue clenched the handkerchief in her hand and hesitated for a long time before she spoke, "I wonder if Lord Wen is here."

Gu Jianyue specifically asked Zhiqiu to find out that Wen Zhu did not live with the emperor, but lived in a separate guard courtyard with the imperial guards.

The young guard took a look at Gu Jianyue and replied truthfully, "It should be there. I'll go check it out for you."
