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

Gu Jianchu was very familiar with this voice.

Even Concubine Wen was the same. It wasn't that she often served the emperor, but she was with Gu Jianchu and saw the emperor more often, so she naturally became familiar with him.

Xie Ci'an had changed from his usual dull demeanor. Today he wore an indigo robe with a fine mutton-fat jade pendant hanging around his waist, and his aura remained the same as before.

After Gu Jianchu and Consort Wen bowed and greeted him, he personally helped Gu Jianchu to her feet. "Sister Wen and I were discussing what happened at the Annan Marquis's residence today. I heard that Miss Shu Yao even reported the Annan Marquis to the Dali Temple."

Now Xie Ci'an has developed the habit of eating melons following Gu Jianchu.

The matter of Lord Annan was of great importance, and Wen Zhu was paying close attention to the reports.

"It is true. Earl Annan was forced by the Dali Temple to give 30,000 taels of silver to Shu Yao. Earl Annan was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and then was sent back by the people from the Dali Temple. The news from Wen Zhu is that Shu Yao followed him back to the mansion this time." Xie Ci'an answered the two people's doubts.

Wen Zhaoyi didn't dare to respond. Gu Jianchu said lazily, "It's not surprising that Earl Annan wants to default on his debt."

However, there is one thing that is a bit strange. Shu Yao finally escaped from the clutches of Annan Bo's Mansion, but why did she suddenly follow Annan Bo back?

Wen Zhaoyi was very tactful and left Kunning Palace after eating the melon.

Gu Jianchu took a bath after returning from Cining Palace. She lay on the bed waiting for Xie Ci'an to take a bath, and did not forget to eat melon.

How did Shu Yao know that Annanbo's youngest son was not Annanbo's biological son, but was the son of Lin and the groom?

Even though there was an ear chamber between them, Xie Ci'an could hear Gu Jianchu's sharp and explosive voice.

Shu Yao had come across him accidentally when Shu Ying had sent her to buy rouge and powder. This wasn't the first time she'd encountered him. She'd suspected the younger brother wasn't the son of Earl Annan, and even secretly investigated. She'd discovered the First Lady's delivery date didn't match, and after questioning the servants in the First Lady's courtyard, she'd noticed something was wrong.

Shu Yao hadn't spoken out because she knew her voice was insignificant. Even if she did, no one would believe her, and she might even be beaten to death by the Madam to silence her.

Shu Yao severed her relationship with the Earl of Annan, not just out of disappointment with her parents, but also because she knew many of the mansion's hidden secrets. This chaotic Annan mansion was like a bottomless swamp, and she had to leave before she could see the light.

[Annanbo's plan today completely backfired and irritated Shu Yao.]

[The reason Shu Yao followed An Nanbo back was to expose this matter and give her good father a great gift.]

As soon as the unconscious Annanbo was revived by the doctor, Shu Yao went in with the slightest evidence she had found. Furthermore, Annanbo had already caught her mother cheating on him with the groom, so even the slightest evidence was enough to convince Annanbo.

After Shu Yao presented the evidence to Annanbo, he actually believed it. He finally got out of bed and went to confront Lin. Lin initially denied it, but Annanbo summoned the midwife who had delivered Lin and the doctor who had taken her pulse. They both said that Lin's child was born at full term, which didn't match the pregnancy period.

Seeing that the truth had been completely exposed, Lin no longer hid it and directly started arguing with Annanbo.

[What? Annnanbo, knowing the truth, was so angry that he had a stroke.]

【How could it be so sudden?】

[It turned out that Annanbo had been suffering from health problems due to Shu Yao's anger before, and the incident with Lin had made things even worse, so he was directly angered to the point of having a stroke.]

After Xie Ci'an came out of the ear chamber, he saw Gu Jianchu lying on the bed, laughing so hard that she was bent over backwards. He took a big step forward and pulled Gu Jianchu into his arms. His slightly cool fingers reached into her clothes and gently pinched her soft flesh, "What's so happy about?"

Is it okay to talk about Annanbo having a stroke?

Of course not, otherwise the emperor would know that she has superpowers.

"I just read a story in a book. There's a story about a man who likes to take concubines everywhere. Then his wife has an affair outside without his knowledge. They have a child and register the child under the man's name. When the man found out about this, he was so angry that he had a stroke."

"Taking concubines everywhere is wrong in the first place, and now you're getting so angry that you've had a stroke, it's all you deserve. That's why I'm smiling so happily."

It goes without saying that Gu Jianchu was talking about the affairs of the Annan Marquis' Mansion.

"What happened next?" Xie Ci'an asked casually.

"This man has had a stroke. It must be that the Madam has seized his property and let the child she had out of wedlock inherit it. The Madam will definitely not let those illegitimate children get these things." What happened later was just Gu Jianchu's guess. After all, the Annan Earl's Mansion was now in complete chaos.

Even Shu Zhaoyi, who was far away in the palace, went to ask the empress dowager to leave the palace after hearing the news.

"Does the Queen want a child?" Xie Ci'an sat cross-legged on the bed, his arms around Gu Jianchu who was leaning in his arms.

The man's sincere and deep voice rang in his ears. Gu Jianchu couldn't help but shudder. A bad premonition lingered in his heart. He almost stammered, "I don't really want a child now."

"But now the former dynasty and the empress dowager are both staring at the queen's belly." Xie Ci'an's tone still contained a hint of grievance, but his hand had already dishonestly reached into Gu Jianchu's clothes, and his fingers with thin calluses slowly wandered on her body.

She couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Jianchu hardly got any rest that night.

When she fell asleep, it was almost time for Xie Ci'an to go to court. She didn't know when the dog emperor left. She only vaguely heard Xie Ci'an instructing the palace maids not to wake her up and let her sleep a little longer.

In the days that followed, Gu Jianchu lived a relatively leisurely life, occasionally eating the melons from the Annan Earl's Mansion.

Ever since Earl Annan suffered a stroke, the Lin family has been in charge of the entire mansion. The doctor's diagnosis is that Earl Annan has no chance of recovery.

After the Marquis of Annan suffered a stroke, the Shu family's situation in the capital was much worse than before, and many people took the opportunity to distance themselves from the Marquis of Annan's mansion.

"Although the Annan Marquis's daughter is a concubine in the palace, she is not favored, so no one wants to marry her."

Wen Zhaoyi continued gossiping, "I heard that Lin's mother's family has also come to visit Lin, and Lin's mother's sister-in-law has even suggested that Lin marry Shuying off to another place so she can avoid seeing him."

"Mrs. Lin was already tired of concubines, and after learning the truth, she felt even more disgusted. So, she agreed to my sister-in-law's suggestion and found a husband for Shu Ying in Jiangnan."

"I just don't know Shu Yao's whereabouts. I heard that Shu Yao has disappeared since the Earl of Annan suffered a stroke."
