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

Before anyone else could speak, County Lady Wanning asked with concern, "Doctor Zhang, is there anything wrong with my cousin's pulse?"

"It's no big deal. It's a pregnancy pulse. I've been pregnant for over a month. However, the fetus is not very stable. I need to be careful during this period. I can also take some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. I also need to pay more attention to rest."

After Doctor Zhang finished speaking, he felt the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly become heavy.

Wan Ning looked at Zhang Qian with doubt in her eyes.

Gu Jianchu, however, remained gentle. "Aunt, this young lady from the Zhang family is pregnant now. It's really not suitable for her to stay here to serve me and learn the rules. Although I don't have much work here on weekdays, it is a bit messy. If something happens to her due to exhaustion, I really can't bear the responsibility."

"For now, I still think it's best to help Miss Zhang find the father of her child as soon as possible so that they can get married. If it gets too late, it will be bad for Wan Ning and her family's reputation. After all, this is an unmarried pregnancy."

The eldest princess, who had been in high spirits, now had a face as pale as liver.

No matter how dumb she was, she realized now that they were trying to confuse the royal bloodline.

Although he looked down on Xie Ci'an, the illegitimate emperor, he would never allow the idea of confusing the royal bloodline, and the arrival of this child was somewhat strange.

The eldest princess is a smart person after all.

A bad premonition continued to spread in her heart, and she looked at her daughter with heartache, who still seemed to know nothing.

A bold idea suddenly came to my mind.

The eldest princess slammed the table angrily and said, "Tell me, whose child is this in your belly?"

Gu Jianchu thought that the eldest princess would take this family scandal back home and deal with it behind closed doors, so this was why she only pointed out the fact that Zhang Qian was pregnant and did not go any further. She did not really want to offend this aunt.

When the Grand Princess slammed the table angrily, she was startled and shrank back. Soon, a pair of big hands pressed on her waist, pulling her body back a little, holding her in their arms, giving her a sense of security.

[There's more live gossip to eat. ]

The princess knew her daughter's personality. If she went back to deal with this matter, the man would surely coax her daughter into submission, and the matter would be left unresolved. It was also very likely that the child would be left behind, making the life of County Princess Wan Ning even more miserable.

[It's not hard to see that the Grand Princess has been unhappy with this son-in-law for a long time. When she first married her daughter, she was reluctant. Now that something like this has happened again, it's better to kick this scumbag out immediately.]

[If you hesitate when you should, you will suffer the consequences. I guess the princess is regretting now why she agreed to marry her daughter to such a scumbag.]

Knowing that his queen loved to eat melons, Xie Ci'an called Wen Zhu over and whispered a few words in Wen Zhu's ear.

Gu Jianchu's attention was completely attracted by the Grand Princess, and he didn't notice Xie Ci'an's little movements.

Zhang Qian shrank back and kept shaking her head, "I don't know either."

"You won't know whose child you're carrying. Since you won't tell me, I'll have to torture you. There are countless punishments in this palace. I'll try them all on you. I don't believe I can't pry your mouth open."

"Queen, can you tell me what the punishments are in this palace?"

【How come you can still bring me back to the question of your interrogation?】

Although he was complaining in his heart, Gu Jianchu was actually very happy to help. "There are many ways to torture people in the palace. They can make people see no wounds. In addition, there are whipping and clamps. I remember there was a young eunuch in the palace who was sent to the Ministry of Punishment for stealing. There, one of his legs was clamped off. Later, he was thrown directly into the menagerie to be fed to the tigers. He didn't even see his body. It was really pitiful."

"Miss Zhang, since we're destined to meet, I'd like to advise you to tell your aunt if you have anything to say. Maybe she'll give you a lighter sentence. If you're sent to the Ministry of Punishment, you'll be skinned alive even if you don't die. You're so beautiful, it would be a shame if you lost any limbs."

"If the other party is from a good family, I can also help you arrange a marriage."

As Gu Jianchu spoke word by word, Zhang Qian was completely frightened and her eyes were blank. She had never experienced such things before.

Zhang Qian didn't dare to see the Grand Princess.

The aura surrounding the eldest princess is so low that it's frightening.

She set her eyes on Gu Jianchu and asked, "Your Majesty, can you really help me?"

"I asked you and the Grand Princess to confess, but why are you dragging me into this? Do I really have the words 'easy to bully' written all over my face?"

Gu Jianchu naturally wouldn't dig a hole and jump into it herself. "If it's a good family, I will make the decision for you. But if you insist on not telling me, your aunt will send you to the Ministry of Punishment, and I will have no choice."

The Grand Princess slammed the table again, continuing to put pressure on him. "If you don't speak up, those servants in the Ministry of Punishment will have plenty of ways to make you speak the truth."

Following the eldest princess's glance, Yunhe immediately stepped forward and pulled Zhang Qian to walk out.

Zhang Qian was so frightened that she struggled to break free from Yun He's hands. She ran to Gu Jianchu's side and tugged at the hem of her skirt. "Your Highness, I'll tell you everything. The child in my belly is the County Master's."

Gu Jianchu, who already knew the answer, was not too surprised by it.

On the contrary, the eldest princess, although she had guessed it before, was so angry that she trembled all over when she heard these words. This bitch even took the child away. Who knows what they do with their daughter on her back on weekdays.

The Wan Ning County Lady beside her looked at her cousin, whom her husband always protected, with red eyes. She quickly stood up, stepped forward and slapped Zhang Qian, knocking her back. "Tell me again, whose child is this in your belly?"

The truth had been revealed, but Zhang Qian wasn't so scared anymore. She stiffened her neck and said, "The child in my belly is the county lady's husband's. My cousin said that the county lady is as nauseous as a salted fish at night. She's been married for so many years and still has no children. If this continues, their family will be extinct."

County Lady Wan Ning clenched her fingers into fists. The usually gentle girl was now gasping for breath in anger. In the end, she couldn't help it and stepped forward to slap the other party twice again.

Gu Jianchu stood up at the right moment and reached out to support the staggering Wan Ning County Master. "A man like this is not worth it for my cousin to be sad. He has done such a thing, and I don't think about divorcing him? Such a scumbag is the most incorrigible. Today it's my cousin, tomorrow it might be another woman."

"It's a good thing that such a woman didn't enter the palace. If she gave birth to a child in the palace, it would have defiled the palace." Gu Jianchu advised Princess Wan Ning while adding fuel to the fire.

She either doesn't try to persuade, or if she does, she'll persuade them to break up rather than reconcile.
