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

"I didn't. I've always been on A Yue's side." Cao Li retorted anxiously.

[The dog is not really unwilling to divorce Ajie, but the loss outweighs the gain for him right now, and it would also damage his reputation. Your reputation is just a shoe insole, who would care about your face?]

Gu Jianchu ignored Cao Li and gave Yun He a hint with his eyes.

Yunhe immediately understood what he meant and pulled Cao Li aside.

Gu Jianyue looked at the faces of the family across from her, especially when they forced her to acknowledge a concubine's child as her legitimate son. She couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment. "Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Sister, I've made up my mind."

Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Jianyue.

Gu Jianyue sighed, as if making a major decision. "I want a divorce. My relationship with Cao Li has come to an end. As my sister said, too much entanglement only consumes both of us. Cao Li, it was you who took the initiative to give up our relationship. I believe I have done my best for you."

"I hope you won't continue to pester me. Let's part ways amicably." Gu Jianyue took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and stuffed it into Cao Li's hand. "This is the token of love you gave me. I'm giving it back to you now."

"Gu Jianyue, think it over carefully. If you divorce me, you will definitely regret it." Cao Li was quite exasperated.

"I can't have children, so what's there to regret? Looking at her angry expression, her emotional state is unstable."

Gu Jianchu almost blurted out the words, but swallowed them back.

If Cao Li knew now that he couldn't have children, he would definitely pester his sister and refuse to divorce her.

"Ayue, don't listen to Cao Li's nonsense. Once we women get divorced, our lives will be ruined. And you should also consider the reputation of the Queen. If the Gu family has a divorced eldest daughter, the Queen will surely be criticized by the world." Lady Ning Anbo stepped forward and took Gu Jianyue's hand, using moral blackmail to persuade her earnestly.

I have to say that Mrs. Ning Anbo's moral kidnapping is indeed effective.

Mentioning Gu Jianchu is equivalent to mentioning Gu Jianyue's weakness.

Gu Jianyue began to waver.

Before Gu Jianchu could say anything, Xie Ci'an on the side spoke lazily, "The divorce is just a breakdown of the relationship, not the eldest daughter of the Gu family cheating. The Queen is the master of the six palaces. Anyone who dares to gossip behind her back will have their tongue plucked out."

Xie Ci'an said it lightly, but it frightened Lady Ning'an who said it so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.

In the past, I only heard rumors from outsiders that the emperor was a tyrant, but now it seems to be true.

Mrs. Ning Anbo, who still wanted to speak, was afraid that her tongue would be shut up abruptly.

Gu Jianchu patted Gu Jianyue's hand and said gently, "Sister, you don't have to consider anyone else. Just think about yourself. Your family can only be your support, not your weakness."

Gu Jianyue's nose felt hot, and she tried hard to hold back her tears. She knelt down in front of Xie Ci'an with a plop, "I beg Your Majesty to grant me a decree to divorce Cao Li, so that we can part ways and live happily ever after."

With the Queen around, it would be difficult for them to make amends.

Earl Ning An and his wife looked extremely unhappy. They wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Cao Li had his mouth blocked by Yun He and his men, and he whimpered twice with great effort.

Before entering the palace, Yunhe had practiced some basic martial arts, so dealing with the weak Cao Li was not a problem for her.

Xie Ci'an said without any hesitation, "I agree. Cheng Song, please send someone to handle this matter immediately."

Cheng Song did not dare to delay for a moment and sent someone to find the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department to write the divorce decree. After a while, the divorce decree was sent to the Chuigong Hall, and Gu Jianyue and Cao Li pressed their fingerprints on it.

Cao Li wanted to refuse, but Yun He finally forced him to put his fingerprint on the edict.

Gu Jianchu took a look and handed the imperial edict to Gu Jianyue, "Sister, now that the matter is settled, why don't you stay with me in the palace for a few days, just to relax."

The divorce papers were obtained, but the matter was not over yet.

The Gu family didn't think much about it. They just thought that Gu Jianchu was worried that if Gu Jianyue divorced and returned home, Cao Li would continue to harass her, so he made the suggestion.

"Sister knows you mean well. I'd better not stay in the palace and disturb you and the emperor." Gu Jianyue appreciated her sister's kindness.

"I won't disturb you, not at all. Since you don't allow me to live with you in the main palace, I'm bound to be bored staying alone in this palace. Just think of it as coming to the palace to talk to me. You can go home in a few days." Gu Jianchu pulled Gu Jianyue's hand, almost in a coquettish tone.

Xie Ci, who saw through Gu Jianchu's thoughts, assisted and said, "Since the Queen has said so, why not stay in the palace for a few days and keep the Queen company."

Since the emperor said so, Gu Jianyue had no choice but to nod and agree.

It was already late and the palace gates should be locked. The two families left the palace separately, and Gu Jianyue followed Gu Jianchu back to Kunning Palace.

Knowing that her sister was afraid of disturbing her relationship with the emperor, she specially asked Zhuxia to clean up the side hall for her sister to live in, and at the same time sent Zhuxia over to temporarily serve her sister's daily life.

Although my sister has Tinglan by her side, she is not from the palace and doesn't know the rules of the palace.

Yunhe walked to the bed and squatted beside it, adding a few pieces of red charcoal to the charcoal basin.

Gu Jianchu lazily leaned against the soft pillow, peeling pine nuts, his handsome face covered with an unbreakable coldness. "Yunhe, you will leave the palace tomorrow and go to Yangliu Lane in the east of the city to find a scholar named Zheng. Tell him that his daughter Yu Niang will be taken to the Ning'an Earl's mansion as a concubine. Even his and Yu Niang's child will be forcibly brought into the mansion."

"Also, use Yu Niang's reputation to spread some news."

Yunhe consciously put his ear close to Gu Jianchu.

It was too easy for Cao Li to get a divorce like this. She had to deal with many sisters in the Cao family over the years.

Yun He had just received the order to leave the hall when Xie Ci'an came over and asked, "Why isn't Miss Gu here?"

Upon hearing the voice, Gu Jianchu quickly put down the pine nuts she had not peeled yet. Before she could stand up and salute, Xie Ci'an had already stepped forward, took Gu Jianchu's hand and sat back down.

"Sister drank a little wine tonight, and after the fight with the Cao family, she must be exhausted. I'll let her rest first. The emperor still has court affairs to deal with, so why did he come here?" Gu Jianchu handed the peeled pine nuts on a plate to Xie Ci'an.

No matter how you look at it, today's events were all thanks to the Emperor's help. My sister was able to get a divorce so smoothly.

"There are endless government affairs to deal with, so I'm taking this opportunity to come and accompany the Queen." As Xie Ci'an spoke, his fingers naturally circled around her waist.

Thinking about why the emperor came, Gu Jianchu's scalp tingled. Her body had recovered, and the emperor hadn't come for a long time. There was really no reason to refuse.

As the man's fingers passed through the laces and groped inside the coat, her face flushed red.
