Queen is fearless

Chapter 21 Lively
Waking up early, Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jinzhi who was arranging her clothes, bowed her head and kissed him.

Seeing the beauty in front of her blushing, a smile appeared on Zhou Jing's face.

After packing up, the two of them took each other to the outer room and had breakfast together.

The moment before he walked out of the palace gate, Zhou Jing suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Jinzhi who was behind him.

She didn't salute, just stood there, looking at his back, eyes full of friendship.

It seemed that he didn't expect him to turn his head suddenly. At that moment, Gu Jinzhi's face showed a little panic. She lowered her head slightly and saluted Zhou Jing.

At this moment, Zhou Jing felt that the depths of his heart seemed to be slightly touched.

He thought for a while, walked back to Gu Jinzhi's side, and stretched out his hand to help her up, "You and I are husband and wife, so there is no need to be so polite, I am going to court."

After finishing speaking, he kissed Gu Jinzhi lightly on the forehead. Gu Jinzhi's gaze was on Zhou Jing's hand that supported her, and he said softly, "I'm waiting for the emperor to come back."

"En." Gently agreed, Zhou Jing felt that the sound of "come back" was particularly pleasant.

This time, Zhou Jing didn't look back, Gu Jinzhi stood where she was, with a smile on her face, but it didn't reach her eyes, and there was no wave in her eyes.

…………

"What are the rumors outside the palace?" After leaving Fengyang Palace, Zhou Jing sat on the dragon chariot and asked Yuan Bao who was following him.

There was a lot of noise about the palace man's suicide, and he, the emperor, of course knew about it.

"Back to the emperor, the servants have sent someone to check, it seems that someone deliberately instigated it."

"The empress is kind and gave the servants a choice. Those who don't want to leave the palace can do so. Why commit suicide?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Yuan Bao quickly opened his mouth and reported what he knew to the emperor.

"What about now? Has the matter been resolved?" Since he asked Yuan Bao to inquire, of course not only inquire, but also solve the matter perfectly.

"Please forgive me, your majesty. This servant has already thought of a solution, but he never expected that someone would solve the matter before this servant."

Yuan Bao was a little guilty, but he thought for a long time before he came up with a solution, but he didn't expect that someone was ahead of him and had a better solution than him.

"How to say?" Raising his eyebrows, Zhou Jing lowered his head and looked at Yuan Bao.

"Originally, there was a lot of trouble about the suicide of the palace servants, but I don't know who directly announced the disposition of the empress at that time, and the palace servants who were released from the palace, and their family members, came forward to clarify the matter. thing."

"Nowadays, the suicide of palace people has faded away. What the common people talk about is the empress's kindness, and they don't know what is good or bad about suicide palace people."

"This morning, the servants got new news. They said that someone surrendered. They admitted that they had taken the money. They were obsessed with ghosts for a while, and they... actually made a move on their own family members, pretending to commit suicide."

When he said this, Yuan Bao glanced at the emperor's face secretly, and he knew that someone was playing a monster, and the purpose was to frame the empress.

"Have you taken the money, are you obsessed with ghosts? Continue to investigate, I really want to see who is so bold, who dares to use money to buy people's lives and discredit my queen."

Hearing this, Zhou Jing sneered, and ordered Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao responded quickly, he has asked people to continue the investigation, and I believe there will be results soon.

"The empress is talented and intelligent. When the emperor receives the purse, she will be very happy."

In Fengyang Palace, Jiang Guipin handed the purse back to Gu Jinzhi, and said with a smile.

"Where is the talent and intelligence? Thanks to Concubine Jiang, this purse can be embroidered so quickly."

"Before, I thought that my female celebrity was too horrible to look at. I was afraid that I would not be able to send out the purse. Now that I have finally embroidered it, it is all thanks to you."

Looking at the purse she had embroidered, a smile appeared on Gu Jinzhi's face. For the past two days, Concubine Jiang Gui has been there to help her embroider the purse.

"I didn't do anything, I just said a few words, I can't bear the praise of the empress, besides, I can share the worries for the empress, I am satisfied."

Standing up and blessing Gu Jinzhi, the smile on Jiang Guibin's face deepened.

"You're too modest." Calling Jiang Guipin to sit down, Gu Jinzhi handed the purse to Qingluan, asking her to put it away carefully.

"I think it's better to be humble than arrogant. After all, arrogant people always have to pay the price."

After sitting down again, Jiang Guipin spoke again, Gu Jinzhi looked at her, and saw a trace of pleasure on her face.

"You're right." In response, Gu Jinzhi withdrew his gaze, picked up his tea, and took a sip, "July this year should be very lively."

…………

At this time, there was some confusion in the hall, and Zhou Jing sat at the top, watching the 'farce' below.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister has been wronged and slandered." Kneeling on the ground with snot and tears was Concubine Lin's own brother, Lin Xiaoqing.

The reason for this is that he was impeached by Jiang Guipin's family again, but this time, it was not Jiang Guipin's elder brother who impeached him, but his cousin.

Last time, Jiang Guipin's elder brother impeached members of the Lin family, but the next day, he was under the black hand, so that his legs were injured, and even if he recovered, he couldn't be the same as before.

A good man became lame, neither he nor his family could accept this fact.

But things have already happened, the Lin family has done very cleanly, and there is no evidence at all. For this reason, the Lin family and the Jiang family have become sworn feuds.

Both families are thinking about finding out the fault of the other party, so that the other party will be completely smashed into the dust, and there is no possibility of turning over.

The impeachment this time was because Jiang Guipin's cousin Jiang Yi, after investigation, discovered that the bribery of the palace servants to commit suicide was the work of the Lin family.

Of course, the Jiang family would not let go of such an opportunity, so after the discussion, they impeached the Lin family at the court today.

"Your Majesty, no one in this capital knows that the Jiang family slandered our Lin family, saying that the Lin family broke the Jiang family's legs, but we are really wronged in this matter. We are all officials in the same dynasty, so we have a misunderstanding and make it clear. Well, how could we do such a thing?"

"But we know that Jiang's family is feeling uncomfortable, so we will let them talk about this matter, as long as they feel more comfortable in their hearts."

"But this time, they went too far. Those palace people committed suicide because they didn't know what to do. What does it have to do with our Lin family?"

Wiping away tears, Lin Xiaoqing, who was kneeling on the ground, spoke again, and replied to the emperor.

When he said this, Jiang Yi was so angry that if someone hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed up to beat Lin Xiaoqing.

"Your Majesty, if I dare to impeach Lin Xiaoqing in court, I will not be empty-handed. I have evidence. Please check it out!"
