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

However, what Lady Annan didn't know was that there was a maid in the mansion who was Shuying's mother's younger sister. After learning about these things, the younger sister hated Lady Annan so much that she greased the path Lady Annan had to pass through, causing her to fall and go into labor prematurely. Surprisingly, Lady Annan gave birth to a daughter prematurely, but she is fine.

My sister knew it was bad to continue, but she also knew her child would not survive in the mansion. So she tried every possible means to secretly swap her child with the second daughter born to Lady Annan. Since Lady Annan had just given birth, she had never seen her daughter, and my sister's child hadn't been there either, so even if the babies were swapped, no one would notice.

[The real legitimate daughter lived a difficult life in the mansion under the identity of a concubine's daughter, and was also tortured by her own mother, sister, and the fake daughter.]

[Now, she is being used as a resource by her own father, who is preparing to marry her to the almost sixty-year-old Shangshu as a concubine.]

[Well, this situation is hard to comment on. The real daughter is a bit pitiful, having to bear the consequences of her own mother's actions.]

[This Annan Marquis's Mansion is truly chaotic, even more exciting than the Emperor's harem, with all the elements of true and false daughters, cheating, and cuckolding.]

Xie Ci'an, who was always paying attention to Gu Jianchu's movements, did not miss the gossip that Gu Jianchu revealed.

His secret guards might not be able to find out about such a secret matter.

One has to admit that the relationships in the Annan Marquis' Mansion are indeed complicated.

Speaking of cheating, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but think of the gossip he had heard before, and dug deeper into it.

"Tongzi, you said that the wife of the Earl of Annan was cheating on him. Is it possible that this child is not the Earl of Annan's?"

Gu Jianchu's question instantly piqued Xie Ci'an's curiosity.

Xie Ci'an, who was originally planning to return to Chuigong Palace, abruptly changed his route for Gu Jianchu.

Cheng Song, who was following beside him, wanted to step forward and remind him, but when he saw Xie Ci'an walking in the wrong direction, he shut up silently.

The emperor didn't go in the wrong direction at all. He clearly wanted to find the empress.

After taking a few steps, Xie Ci'an heard Gu Jianchu's startled voice.

[Oh my god, I guessed it right. Not only is Annanbo cuckolded, but he's also raising someone else's child.]

[However, the real daughter is still the daughter of Annan Bo, but the youngest son whom Annan Bo cherishes so much is not his.]

[Later, the Earl of Annan welcomed more women into his mansion, and his wife was completely neglected, which is why she chose to have an affair with the groom. We're just wondering if this is retribution for the Earl of Annan's actions.]

If Annanbo knew about this, it would be a big deal.

However, Gu Jianchu was just thinking about it. She didn't want to interfere in other people's karma, and Shu Zhaoyi hadn't come to her to commit suicide recently.

Although Gu Jianchu didn't want to interfere in this matter, Xie Ci'an, who had been following him silently, took this sentence to heart.

Xie Ci'an stopped and raised his hand. Wen Zhu immediately understood and came forward. Xie Ci'an whispered a few words to him, and Wen Zhu left immediately without asking why.

Gu Jianchu's inner voice completely stopped.

Xie Ci'an had unknowingly walked out of Kunning Hall. Now he was too lazy to go back to Chuigong Hall, so he simply arranged for Cheng Song to fetch the memorials that had not been reviewed in Chuigong Hall.

As soon as Gu Jianchu walked in, Xie Ci'an followed, causing Gu Jianchu to be unable to react in time, "Didn't your Majesty go back to Chuigong Palace? Why is he here again?"

"I'm worried that the Queen will be unhappy about the Shu family girl's matter, so I came to see you." Xie Ci'an took Gu Jianchu's hand and walked towards the inner hall.

[I can believe this. The Emperor is someone who cares about other people's feelings.]

If he cared about her, he wouldn't have tormented her like that at night.

Even though she was clamoring like this in her heart, she still had to pretend to be gentle and generous on the surface, "How could I not be happy? If the emperor likes the little girl from the Shu family, I will take the initiative to bring her into the palace for the emperor. This way, the harem will have another sister to talk to."

He wondered why the queen's tone still had a slightly sour taste.

"The Shu family already has one Shu Zhaoyi as a woman. Do we need to bring another one into the palace to make the harem a mess?" Xie Ci'an said in a cold and hard tone.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jianchu's anxious heart relaxed a little.

If the emperor really intended to bring someone into the palace, she planned to indirectly mention the matter of Shu Ying's identity being swapped.

While Xie Ci'an was reviewing memorials, Gu Jianchu leaned quietly on the bed with a book in his hand, secretly using the system to eat melons.

A whole day has passed, and there has been no movement from the Cining Palace.

Shu Zhaoyi and Shu Ying had such a big fight, it was impossible for the Empress Dowager not to be angry.

[No wonder there was no movement. It turns out those two were punished to kneel in the Empress Dowager's small Buddhist temple to copy the female precepts. It was the same small Buddhist temple where I was punished.]

I'm starting to wonder how the Empress Dowager managed to ascend to the position of Empress Dowager. She doesn't even have the foresight to judge the situation. After all this drama, the Emperor was so angry they left, and yet the Empress Dowager is still thinking of sending Shu Ying into the harem to replace Shu Zhaoyi in order to win favor.

[It seems that Shu Zhaoyi has been completely abandoned by the Queen Mother, but she can't make it too obvious now.]

"Nani, this punishment is just for everyone in the palace to see. Actually, the Queen Mother has another plan. Now, apart from knowing that the Emperor likes me, she knows nothing about his other preferences for the women in the harem. So, the Queen Mother plans to invite the Emperor to dinner in the Cining Palace and then drug him."

The Empress Dowager even thought that the drugging plan had worked, but it was Shu Zhaoyi who was too stupid, so she planned to do it herself this time. She would then have Shu Ying sleep with the Emperor, and then act as if nothing had happened in the morning to catch them in the act. This way, not only would the Emperor sleep with Shu Ying, but it would also help her secure a higher position.

[The Queen Mother is not young anymore, so why is her behavior so difficult to judge?]

[She's really imaginative. I can only wish her success. If the Emperor finds out, the Empress Dowager will be completely disgraced.]

Should I remind His Majesty not to go to the Cining Palace recently? Those two crazy women will resort to despicable tactics, and I'm really worried His Majesty won't be able to handle them.

Inexplicably, he felt a little touched that the queen still thought of him.

But there is no chance anymore.

Cheng Song rushed in in a hurry. Because he was running so fast, the hair crown on his head was tilted. He quickly adjusted it and said, "Your Majesty, something happened in the Cining Palace."
