In Qingning Palace.

Queen Shen looked at Prince Xing Longjun and Gu Youyan kneeling there, and was so angry that she could hardly speak.

She picked up the teacup on the table beside her and threw it at Long Jun and Gu Youyan.

Long Jun quickly pulled Gu Youyan into his arms, and the teacup fell on him, splashing tea and getting a large area of ​​his body wet.

Seeing Long Jun like this, Queen Shen became even angrier.

"You bastard, you're still protecting her. She's the princess your father gave to your fourth brother, and you actually did something like this."

Long Jun let go of Gu Youyan and looked at Queen Shen, saying unconvincedly, "Didn't my concubine become his princess? We're even now."

"You...you..." Queen Shen was so angry that she covered her chest and gasped.

Seeing that his mother was so angry, Long Jun felt bad too.

But he just didn't want to marry that idiot. After his mother asked his father to grant him a marriage, everyone he played with laughed at him behind his back, and he couldn't afford to lose face with that person.

"Your Majesty... please calm down. Don't let your anger harm your health." Nanny Jin beside Empress Shen hurried forward to help Empress Shen calm down.

Seeing this, Gu Youyan, who was standing by, trembled all over, lowered her head, and her clenched hands were so tight that the knuckles had turned white.

People who don't know the truth would think that she was scared, but if someone could see her eyes, they would find that her eyes were full of hatred.

She was also a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion and a talented woman in the capital. Why should she be the one to marry that living dead man, while she, a fool, could marry Prince Xing? She just didn't want to do what she wanted.

Long Jun didn't want to make his mother angry because of this matter. Although he felt that he was not wrong, he still admitted his mistake and said, "Mother, please calm down. I know I was wrong."

Nanny Jin quickly comforted her, "Your Highness, the prince knows he is wrong. Please forgive him this time."

As he said this, he winked at Long Jun.

Seeing this, Long Jun quickly knelt down and took a few steps forward, getting closer to Queen Shen. He pleaded in his voice, "I will never make such a mistake again. Mother, please forgive me this time."

After hearing this, Queen Shen took several deep breaths, trying to suppress the anger in her heart. She glared at Long Jun and said, "How dare you do it again?"

"Your son made a slip of the tongue. I promise there won't be a next time." Long Jun quickly interjected.

Empress Shen said angrily, "It's useless for me to refuse to forgive you. You have to earn your father's forgiveness. If your brother is implicated, I will not forgive you."

After hearing this, Long Ao knew that his mother had calmed down and nodded immediately, "I understand. I will go and apologize to my father right away."

Empress Shen snorted coldly, then looked at Gu Youyan who was kneeling beside her and said coldly, "Since you have done everything you can to enter Prince Xing's Mansion, you should keep quiet from now on and stop causing any more trouble. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."

"I understand." Gu Youyan answered obediently.

Queen Shen gave them a few more warnings and then let them leave.

At this time, Yun Jin had already brought Gu Lingyue to the door of the imperial study.

Gao Ming, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Tianqi, saw Gu Lingyue coming over, accompanied by someone from Prince Jing's Mansion. He stepped forward and reminded her, "The Emperor is waiting for you inside, and the Prime Minister is also here."

Gu Lingyue understood.

After all, they are all young ladies from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they got on the wrong sedan chair in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The emperor will definitely find Gu Shuo to ask for clarification.

So she bowed to Eunuch Gao and said, "Thank you for your reminder."

"You're welcome."

People say that Miss Gu is not only a fool but also arrogant and unreasonable. Now that he sees that Gu Lingyue respects him, he can't help but have a little good impression of Gu Lingyue.

"Please wait here first. I will go in and report to the Emperor."

"Okay." Gu Lingyue nodded to Gao Ming, and Gao Ming turned and entered the imperial study.

Soon, he came out and said to Gu Lingyue, "The emperor wants you to come in."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

After thanking him again, Gu Lingyue walked into the imperial study. Yun Jin was waiting outside.

Just at this moment, Ye Xinyu tied up the carriage and chased after him.

Seeing that Gu Lingyue was no longer at the door, he hurried forward and said a few words to Gao Ming, fearing that he would delay things and be punished by his senior brother.

After hearing what Ye Xinyu said, Gao Ming's face showed shock and surprise.

At the same time, in the imperial study.

When Gu Lingyue came in, she saw Gu Shuo kneeling in the middle of the imperial study. Emperor Tianqi was sitting behind the imperial desk, staring at Gu Shuo with a gloomy face.

She stepped forward, though somewhat reluctantly, but in this feudal society, she could only kneel down as the local custom was. "Your humble servant, Gu Lingyue, pays respect to the Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianqi looked at Gu Lingyue and did not let her get up. Instead, he snorted coldly and said in a stern voice, "You've come at the perfect time. Come and tell me, I clearly asked you to marry Prince Xing, so how did you get into the sedan chair at Prince Jing's mansion?"

Gu Lingyue rolled her eyes in her heart. As the emperor, she had connections everywhere. She didn't believe it was such a simple thing. She thought he couldn't guess the whole story and was just trying to cover up for his son.

"Yes. Yue'er, tell the emperor quickly, how did you get into the wrong sedan chair?" Gu Shuo on the side also asked with a puzzled look on his face.

If the emperor had not summoned him from court for questioning, he would not have known what had happened.

Gu Lingyue's face turned cold when she heard this.

This is really a good father of mine. Is he trying to put the blame on me?

If the original owner's mother and brother were not still in the Gu family, she really wanted to tell Yuanpan what happened. When the Emperor Tianqi came to punish her, she could just eliminate the Gu family and avenge the original owner.

As for her, with her abilities, escaping from the disaster would not be a problem.

She decided that when she returned home in three days, she would test the original owner's mother's attitude. If the original owner's mother was willing, she would let her divorce this scumbag. By then, even if the entire Gu family was executed, it would have nothing to do with them.

And now, nothing can happen to the Gu family, otherwise the original owner's mother and brother will be implicated.

Gu Lingyue turned her head to glance at Gu Shuo beside her, only to see that he was shivering, with dense beads of sweat oozing from his forehead and even running down his cheeks.

She snorted in her heart, it serves her right, this is the consequence of being a scumbag.

Gu Lingyue stopped thinking about other things and lowered her head, pretending to be a little scared and slowly said, "Reply...Reply to the emperor, yesterday I was waiting in my boudoir for the sedan chair from Prince Xing's Mansion to pick me up. When the matchmaker said the sedan chair was coming to pick up the bride, I was helped out by her.

I always thought that I was riding in the sedan chair of Prince Xing's Mansion. It was not until the veil was lifted in the bridal chamber of Prince Jing's Mansion that I realized that everything was wrong.

I don't know how I got into the wrong bridal sedan. I asked someone from Prince Jing's mansion to take me to Prince Xing's mansion by carriage. But Prince Xing said he had already consummated his marriage with his sister. I was so angry that I took all my dowry to Prince Jing's mansion.

"I was reckless, please punish me, Your Majesty." After saying that, Gu Lingyue kowtowed to Emperor Tianqi again.

There is no way, people under the eaves have to lower their heads.

Emperor Tianqi originally thought that Gu Lingyue would say that the items were switched in the mansion, but he did not expect her to say this.

His face was gloomy and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

There are only two possibilities. One is as Miss Gu said, the two sisters got married at the same time, and got on the wrong sedan chair when leaving the house. Although it was the fault of the Gu family, it was not intentional, it can only be said to be a mistake. Moreover, Miss Gu was ready to make amends after discovering the mistake, and it was her son who disagreed. Then the crime of the Gu family would be smaller, and his son would become the person who forcibly seized the emperor's sister-in-law.

The other possibility is that someone in the ancient mansion deliberately swapped the two brides. The purpose is obvious, and it is easy to guess who is behind this.

Now it was Miss Gu who said she didn't know how she got into the wrong sedan. He thought his son and the second Miss Gu would not tell the truth, so the matter could only be handled according to the first case.

But he didn't understand. Was it really just a mistake, as Miss Gu said? If not, didn't she love her Seventh Prince? Why didn't she tell the truth? Was she afraid that he would bring punishment upon the Gu family?

Thinking of this, Emperor Tianqi looked at Gu Lingyue.

Although Miss Gu was kneeling there with her head lowered, her body was straight.

In the past, children of other ministers had come to see him, and those people seemed a little timid in front of him. Although she looked a little scared, upon closer inspection, she was calm and composed.

It seems that this Miss Gu is not as stupid as the legend says!

At this moment, Gao Ming walked in, looked at Gu Lingyue who was kneeling there with a meaningful look, walked to the side of Emperor Tianqi and whispered a few words.
