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

After hearing Xie Ci'an's words, Gu Jianchu's heart finally settled down.

Xie Ci'an held Gu Jianchu's delicate fingers and said gently, "Achu, do you want to go and see General Gu's injuries?"

"Zhu Xia has already sent news that the snake that bit big brother was not poisonous and his injury is not serious. I will not bother to go see him, so that my parents won't see me like this and worry." Gu Jianchu leaned in Xie Ci'an's arms and shook her head.

It is not convenient for her to walk now. She needs to prepare a sedan chair when going out and someone to serve her. There is no need to go through so much trouble. At least she just wants to know that her elder brother is fine.

However, they will be preparing to set off back to the palace in a few days. The emperor has ordered the eldest brother to be confined to his home for a month to reflect on his actions. The eldest brother can take this opportunity to recuperate at home.

Autumn always passes the fastest.

Time flies by, slipping away bit by bit.

The leaves of the trees in the Imperial Garden have turned yellow, and as the weather gets cooler, all the flowers in the garden have withered. Because Gu Jianchu is afraid of the cold, a charcoal brazier has been lit in the Chuigong Hall, but only in the morning and evening, and it will be extinguished when the sun is warm at noon.

Zhu Xia brought two bowls of autumn pear paste and placed them in front of Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an respectively. "The weather is getting colder, so the imperial kitchen specially made this autumn pear paste, saying it can prevent coughs. The imperial kitchen also made some pear candies and some pear cakes."

Zhu Xia waved her hand, and Qiu Tao immediately followed and brought the cakes over and placed them on the table in front of Gu Jianchu.

"The imperial kitchen is thoughtful. Let's ask them to stew some mutton in the evening. Drinking more mutton soup can warm your body." Gu Jianchu ordered.

Zhuxia went to do it immediately.

Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an sat on each side, drinking the autumn pear paste brought by Zhu Xia.

Gu Jianchu's body has been recuperating for some time, and her injuries are almost healed, except for an ugly scar left on her cut arm. Gu Jianchu feels sad for a long time every time she sees it. After all, the scar is so ugly that it is visible at a glance. How can a girl who loves beauty tolerate it?

Fortunately, Doctor Lin made a special scar removal ointment for her. Although the effect is not so obvious, it is somewhat helpful. The scars are gradually fading, but it requires long-term use.

Just after I finished drinking the Qiuli ointment, Qiu Tao came in holding the ointment. "Her Majesty, Imperial Physician Lin sent someone to deliver a new ointment. Imperial Physician Lin said that the formula of this ointment has been adjusted. It needs to be used twice a day for a month. The scars will become lighter, but the effect may not be too fast."

"I don't dare to expect recovery in a few days, as long as it works." Gu Jianchu naturally took the ointment, opened the lid, and there was a white ointment inside.

Xie Ci'an naturally took the ointment and said, "Let me do it."

Gu Jianchu skillfully rolled up his sleeves, revealing the obvious scar on his forearm. It was indeed much better than at the beginning, and still looked like a pink and tender centipede.

Xie Ci'an applied Gu Jianchu's medicine every day. Gradually, Gu Jianchu went from being embarrassed at the beginning to getting used to it.

Apply the ointment on the wound, it feels cool and refreshing.

However, after applying the ointment, you need to let it air for a while and wait for all the ointment to be absorbed before you can put the clothes down, otherwise it will be rubbed off on the clothes.

Gu Jianchu simply leaned back on the soft pillow, letting his wound dry while he ate pear candies and pear pastries made from the imperial kitchen. After eating a few pieces, his mouth was filled with a faint pear flavor.

The system's mechanical sound rang at this inopportune moment.

【There are melons, eat them or not.】

Gu Jianchu is currently bored and how could he not eat the melon? It would be a good way to relieve his boredom.

[Of course I ate it. Tell me what kind of melon it was.]

With this kind of system leak, Gu Jianchu had no idea which direction to guess, and she herself had no connected people.

【Xie Ci'an has a little green on his head.】

Hearing this, Gu Jianchu sat up suddenly and looked at Xie Ci'an in shock. Fortunately, Xie Ci'an was working on memorials and didn't look at Gu Jianchu, otherwise he would have seen that Gu Jianchu's eyes were as big as copper bells.

Xie Ci'an, who was handling memorials, couldn't help but frown and tighten his fingers when he heard these words.

How come there is something green on his head? Gu Jianchu is cheating on him.

Gu Jianchu is by his side all day long, so it is impossible for her to have time to go out and look for other men. He doesn't know what kind of man is so bold as to seduce the queen under his nose.

Xie Ci'an completely forgot for a moment that he had other concubines.

[How can this not be considered eating melons that have been eaten by one's own people?]

[That concubine was so bold that she actually dared to cheat on Xie Ci'an.]

【Wu Guiyi.】

When they heard this name, not only Xie Ci'an, but even Gu Jianchu couldn't remember it for a moment.

The emperor has quite a few concubines in his harem, but he has never favored any of them. Before, he always went to Kunning Palace, but now he has taken her to Chuigong Palace, so he doesn't have to go to the harem anymore. Naturally, the concubines in the harem didn't dare to come and pay their respects to her. Over time, she couldn't recognize her face by her name.

What's more, Wu Guiyi has a very low sense of existence. She doesn't even remember whether there was such a person before.

[Whose daughter? ]

The old Duke was reluctant to let his own daughter enter the palace, so he stuffed his own niece in. Ever since entering the palace, Wu Guiyi has been avoiding favors. Unlike Concubine Wen, who kept to herself, this one has always claimed to have been frail and sickly since childhood, feigning illness to hide in the palace and rarely leaving. The virtuous concubines and the imperial concubines naturally preferred to have fewer vying for favors, and they ignored her feigning illness. Even when paying her respects, this Wu Guiyi would stay away, never approaching you, never saying a word while doing so. There's no way she could possibly attract your attention or even make you remember her.

[No wonder, I was wondering why I didn't have the slightest impression of it.]

She had some impression of the concubines in the harem, but there were not many who she had no impression of at all.

Gu Jianchu's reaction was quite quick.

[So she had been avoiding the emperor's favor not just to avoid it, but also to cheat on him.]

【Qinqin is really smart for once. 】

"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm confused. The palace is well-guarded, and there are no outsiders in the palace except for the eunuchs. How did she manage to cuckold the emperor? Is there a fake eunuch in the palace?"

Xie Ci’an:…

This shouldn't happen. Eunuchs entering the palace have to go through strict examination, so there is no way someone would pretend to be a eunuch and enter the palace.

He doesn't even know Wu Guiyi, so could he please stop accusing him of being a cuckold? It makes people feel uncomfortable, and they always think of Gu Jianchu.
