Chapter 154 Falling in the same place twice
Feeling that Xie Ci'an had finished applying the medicine to him, she quickly climbed out of bed and wrapped the quilt around her body in one smooth motion, "Zhu Xia, come in and help me wash up."
She had noticed that Xie Ci'an's eyes were not very clear, and she was really afraid that Xie Ci'an would become beastly. As long as she got up quickly, Xie Ci'an would not be able to touch her.
Seeing that the queen avoided him like the plague, Xie Ci'an chuckled helplessly.
Zhu Xia and the palace maids quickly helped Gu Jianchu get up.
Knowing that Gu Jianchu didn't eat anything last night, Zhu Xia asked the kitchen to prepare the queen's favorite breakfast early in the morning.
Just as breakfast was served, Cheng Song hurried in and reported, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here and wants to see you regarding something important."
The princess went to Chuigong Hall first, and when she saw the emperor was there, she hurried to Kunning Hall.
[There's no important matter for me to see the Emperor. I've been brainwashed by this scumbag again and want the Emperor to arrange for this gigolo to enter Yousong Academy.]
[I remember that Yusong Academy was the academy that produced the most number one scholar besides the Imperial College. It was directly controlled by the royal family and had an extremely strict admissions system.]
[Previously, the princess took the scholar to the Dali Temple to report a case. How was it handled in the end?]
System, [The scholar was afraid that the Dali Temple would find out about him and cut off the princess's golden leg, so he borrowed money from everywhere, even at high interest rates. He finally managed to patch up the hole and redeem the jade pendant from the pawnshop.]
The scholar and the princess lied, saying that he had accidentally left it at a friend's house and that his friend had just had some free time to bring it to him. The scholar then seduced the princess to the utmost, and the princess did not pursue the matter. She sent someone to the Dali Temple to withdraw the case, and the matter came to an end.
【I want to see how the scholar seduces the princess. 】
Gu Jianchu couldn't help but smile evilly in his heart.
[I am a clean system. Things that cannot be spoken of will definitely be automatically blocked.]
In order to divert Gu Jianchu's thoughts, the system quickly changed the subject.
The scholar's loan had already grown to 40,000 taels at high interest. The shopkeeper had already sent thugs to demand the money back from him. The scholar was in dire straits, so he could only go to the Princess's mansion every day, steal her jewelry, and sell it, using the proceeds to cover his shortfall.
The princess has now discovered the missing jewelry, but she doesn't suspect the scholar. She thinks a maid stole it and is arranging for someone to investigate. The scholar is starting to panic, fearing that he might be the one to be found.
[The eldest princess is really interesting. She doesn't know how to eat something delicious.]
Cheng Song was still waiting for Xie Ci'an's instructions.
"Let the princess in." Xie Ci'an poured a bowl of chicken soup and brought it to Gu Jianchu, and then put two crystal steamed dumplings and a rabbit leg on the plate in front of Gu Jianchu.
"Achu is too thin, he needs more nutrition."
Cheng Song even thought he had seen it wrong. The emperor actually took the initiative to help the empress pick up food.
It must be because he didn't get enough rest last night.
Cheng Song rubbed his eyes and walked out.
Gu Jianchu couldn't help but cough lightly a few times, thinking that the emperor's intentions should not be too obvious.
At that time, the eldest princess was brought into the hall by Cheng Song.
A woman in a crimson dress leaned over to pay her respects to the Emperor and Empress. She had pearl makeup on, but it couldn't hide the fatigue on her face.
[Without a husband, no children, and a bunch of young men around, the eldest princess should be living a more comfortable life than anyone else. Why does she look even uglier than when her husband gave her the chronic drug?]
[Could it be that he was being taken to replenish his yin? ]
[Oh no, the princess is confused.]
Xie Ci'an looked at the eldest princess with a slightly complicated look.
But doubts also arose in his mind and swept over the queen, wondering why the eldest princess was so confused.
[It turns out that the princess not only keeps the vampire scholar, but also has another lover outside. This lover is also a young man trained by Zuiyi Tower. However, this young man is not an ordinary person at all, but a spy sent by Gusu, who wants to use these young men to gather information about the Jin court.]
The spy was a clever man, playing the long game and targeting the then-elite Princess Xie Qingzhi. He deliberately staged a scene of a beauty saving a hero for the Princess in front of Zuiyi Tower, then, under the pretext of repaying a favor, began to seduce her.
The young man was quite pretty, attentive, and, most importantly, good at sex. The princess was very fond of him and would visit him every now and then. The young man took the opportunity to give the princess a mind-controlling drug, hoping to manipulate her and get more information.
[The young man, seeing that the drug had almost taken effect, mentioned to the princess that he wanted her to redeem him. He only wanted to serve the princess, but the princess's mind had not yet been completely controlled by the drug, so she was hesitant in the face of the young man's request. She only admired the young man's appearance and work style, but she was still hesitant to redeem someone from such a place and keep him in the palace.]
[After all, having someone from Zuiyilou in the mansion wouldn't be good for her reputation.]
[This is the first time I've seen someone fall twice in the same place. The princess must have a problem with her eyesight, otherwise she wouldn't have been grabbed and plundered by two scumbags. The wild vegetables on the mountain should have been plucked out as well.]
[If all else fails, I suggest you go to a temple and have a ritual. This will at least help dispel any negative romantic relationships.]
[Wait a minute, Gusu not only sent young prostitutes as spies, but there are also other female spies in Zuiyi Tower, who are used to seduce court officials and seize their intelligence to report back to the country. Many court officials have already been targeted by those spies.]
[It won't be long before those men who can't control their lower bodies will fall into their trap. We must find a way to remind the Emperor of this.]
But she couldn't find a way to bring up the matter.
Gu Jianchu lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Xie Ci'an's face was extremely gloomy. He didn't expect Gusu to be so bold as to use this method to obtain the information they needed. If the Queen didn't have a melon-eating system that could know everything about the world, he would have been kept in the dark.
Even if the Imperial City Bureau finds out one day, it will definitely be after they have suffered losses, definitely not now.
Xie Ci'an clenched his fingers into fists and tried hard to suppress his anger.
Xie Qingzhi hadn't said anything yet, but when she looked up, she met Xie Ci'an's angry eyes. She shouldn't have offended the emperor.
"Recently, I bought a new set of head ornaments and jewelry. I think it will suit the Queen better, so I sent it to her." Xie Qingzhi clapped her hands and handed a brocade box to Gu Jianchu.
[If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.]
The princess is so generous for this scholar. She specially found South China Sea pearls and spent a fortune to create this pearl headpiece. She wouldn't even wear it herself, but she gave it to me to help this young scholar. If I don't accept it, wouldn't I be letting down the princess' kindness?
