Chapter 4
What a surprise, the accident can only be on Miss Gu's side, not Your Majesty.

He has never seen His Majesty take the initiative to get close to a woman. In the past, it was not that there was no easier way to fight in all directions.

As long as His Majesty is willing, there will be more beauties in Tian Qin's harem, and many people will follow His Majesty.

But from the beginning to the end, he did not see His Majesty choose this method.

Hearing Miss Gu's three words, Chu Lichen, who was drooping his head, raised his head immediately, his pupils were wide open, and because there was a white cloth in his mouth, he could only make a whining sound.

Seeing this, Wei Sheng stepped forward and took the white cloth away.

The man's eyes were red, and his voice seemed to be on the verge of collapse, "Who are you talking about, Miss Gu?"

There are not many women surnamed Gu in this palace, there are only two in total, one is by his side, and the other is Queen Gu Ruzhen.

It seemed that this man's life could be saved.

But how to deal with it depends on His Majesty's will.

Weisheng shook his fan, "If you want your life, don't talk, otherwise, even if Miss Gu intercedes, you... your lives will not be saved."

When he pointed his fan at the kneeling woman next to him, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Gu Ruyin...

This name and two or three points of similar appearance probably belong to Miss Gu's older sister or younger sister, no wonder her life was saved.

But why did the Gu family have two daughters entering the palace at the same time? Even if he didn't investigate, he knew that the Gu family didn't need to trade their daughters for wealth.

Since it's not for the sake of wealth, then the problem lies with Gu Ruyin.

"Interesting, interesting." Weisheng put away Cui Shao's scimitar and put it on his waist, "Take the two of them to Cuiwei Hall, there is no need to tie them up, as long as someone is guarding the door."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed the white cloth into Chu Lichen's mouth again.

……

In the Palace of Qinzheng, Emperor Tianqin ordered people to bring paper and pens, and the life and death of these veterans had already been determined.

Without exception, all were killed.

It's not because these old ministers disrespected her that he made this order, but because he specially ordered these people to be arrested.

The ministers of Qingxuan, who saw that the king had no talent and the society was unclear, left the government early, and some were persecuted or even lost their lives. Naturally, some benefited from deceiving the king and oppressing the people.

These veterans belong to the last group.

Born in a noble family, he entered the court as an official under the arrangement of the family, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the court and became the guard of honor of the family.

Under the protection of these people, their descendants, fish and meat people, did all kinds of evil, but they all escaped safely.

It is not accurate to say that they escaped safely, because no one dared to hold them accountable.

If Qingxuan is compared to a big tree, then these old ministers and the families behind them are foul-smelling moths that grow in the roots of the big tree.

If the borers are not removed, the big tree will fall down sooner or later.

But now, the big tree is not far from falling down.

Several people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Seeing that Emperor Tianqin had no intention of withdrawing his will, one of them caught a glimpse of Gu Ruzhen from the corner of his eye, and an idea crossed his mind involuntarily.

He moved his knee hastily, tears streaming down his face, "Please forgive me, the empress, the old minister did such a wrong thing because he was confused, and please forgive me this time because the old minister is old."

Seeing this, several other people hurriedly followed behind and tried their best to beg for mercy.

"The empress empress respects the world and is kind-hearted. She must understand that the old minister is old, and there will be hard work without credit."

……

Emperor Tianqin looked at these people with great interest, although some of the words were not what he wanted to hear.

But that didn't stop him from wondering how she would react.

Will he intercede for these old ministers and spare their lives like before?
Maybe not, though.

Gu Ruzhen lowered her eyes, she was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes.

The outer corners of the eyes are thin and slightly curved, and the tails of the eyes are very long, shaped like peach blossom petals. When she smiles, she looks like two crescent moons, which is very ecstatic.

The peach blossom eyes look affectionate, but they are a little more cold in her eyes.

However, the combination of these two completely different temperaments does not appear abrupt, neither more nor less is inappropriate, and now it is just right.

Gu Ruzhen found it strange that several old officials kept saying nice things and begging for mercy.

Before anything happened to Qingxuan, Chu Lichen was indulging in sex. As a queen in the middle palace, she was powerless to restrain her, so she would always be picked up and scolded by these people.

There are not many fresh words, probably because she failed to fulfill the responsibility of the queen and did not persuade the king to be virtuous.

This kind of talk has been going back and forth for a year, and it has finally changed until today.

"Is this my will?"

The few people stopped begging for mercy in an instant, looked at each other not knowing how to answer, and finally shook their heads slowly.

Gu Ruzhen said again, "Since I didn't make this decree, why do you come to beg me?"

Several people looked at each other again, not knowing how to reply.

It's impossible for them to say, because you, Empress, are probably attracted by Emperor Tianqin, as long as you say something nice to Emperor Tianqin, their lives will be saved.

So the few people looked at Gu Ruzhen hopefully, tried their best to look kind and kind, and put high hats on Gu Ruzhen's head one after another.

It seemed that if she hadn't pleaded with Emperor Tianqin for their lives, then she would be the most ruthless and vicious person in the world.

"If I beg for mercy, will you let them go?"

She turned her head sideways to ask Emperor Qin, and was startled again when she met his pupils.

Holding the sleeves tightly with both hands, "what?"

Emperor Tianqin bowed his head and pressed against her cheek, his warm breath sprayed into her ears, and his cold voice was seductive, "As long as you beg for mercy, I will let them go."

Emperor Tianqin's voice was not low, at least the surroundings including the kneeling veterans could hear it.

"Empress Empress!" An old official shouted eagerly and boldly, "The old official also contributed to your ability to enter the palace, do you remember?"

The rest of the people secretly scolded him for being cunning and cunning, and took the first step.

However, these people were not far behind, counting their contributions one by one.

Gu Ruzhen adjusted the hem of her skirt, and the Bu Yao hanging from her waist made a crisp sound at this moment.

She slowly stood up from the dragon chair, then walked down the steps and walked in front of several people.

He asked softly, "So, when I was able to enter the palace and become a queen, all of you did your best, didn't you?"

Several people tried their best to squeeze out a smile, "Yes."

While squeezing out a smile, several people also breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether it's because of their past achievements, or to impress Emperor Tianqin with kindness, Gu Ruzhen should intercede for them.

But when they thought of Qingxuan's empress flattering Emperor Tianqin, they still felt dissatisfied in their hearts, and wished that Gu Ruzhen would hit the post and die after interceding for them, so as to save Qingxuan's face.
