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

Chapter 369 The Queen is Extremely Intelligent

Gu Jianchu shrugged indifferently.

Some court officials, like rats in a sewer, can't help but worry about me and my unborn child. This incident with Concubine Wu serves as a warning to others. They'll probably have to think twice before wanting to target my unborn child or my position. This not only helps Wu Yuan deal with the person she hates, but also resolves a major concern for the Emperor and me. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?

The silence of the system was deafening again.

[Does the Emperor know that you are so calculating? ]

Gu Jianchu's anger still had not dissipated, but he felt a lot colder. After being reminded by the system, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but secretly glance at Xie Ci'an.

[It’s probably impossible for him to know.]

[Stop dawdling and help me check it out.]

The system was just a little surprised by Gu Jianchu's quick reaction, but it still immediately fulfilled Gu Jianchu's wish and helped him investigate the Wu family's affairs.

Xie Ci’an:…

Not only did he know, he also knew Gu Jianchu's plan clearly.

Gu Jianchu thought the same as he did. He also wanted to use this incident to make an example of someone to scare the others, so that the ministers in the court would not have any rebellious thoughts. This way, they would behave themselves for a while and know which to choose between life and risk.

Even though he knew Gu Jianchu's plan, Xie Ci'an did not think that Gu Jianchu was too dark and scheming. Instead, he felt that such a calculating queen was more adorable, like a soft and cute little fox.

Her clever planning was not directed at him, nor was it for the Gu family. Instead, she was clever in planning for those suffering women or those who were deceived by lies.

He also knew all of Gu Jianchu's plans and ideas.

How could such a queen be so scheming? On the contrary, she is somewhat cute.

The system can also be used to accurately find the evil deeds of ministers and deal with them in time to prevent them from disrupting the government and harming the people.

Compared with those women who only care about vying for favor and planning for their own families, how could his queen be so lovely?

How could he be so worthy that God let him meet such a lovely queen like Gu Jianchu?

Xie Ci'an held Gu Jianchu's hand, slowly moved it to his mouth, and gently kissed it.

Gu Jianchu was shocked by Xie Ci'an's action. Their car door was open and there were so many ministers outside. It would be terrible if they were seen.

Gu Jianchu did not look at Xie Ci'an's reaction, but instead anxiously looked at the reactions of those court officials. Fortunately, those court officials lowered their heads and did not notice the movement on their side, otherwise how could they face people? The emperor's majestic image would collapse in her eyes.

"Husband, there are so many people here, please be a little more restrained." Gu Jianchu reminded in a low voice.

"I have been very restrained. If I hadn't, I might not have been able to resist tasting the lip balm on the corner of the Queen's lips." Xie Ci'an also lowered his voice and said in Gu Jianchu's ear.

The warm breath sprayed on Gu Jianchu's earlobe, bringing with it a strong itchy feeling.

This time, it was Gu Jianchu who remained silent. He called out coquettishly, "Your Majesty."

Xie Ci'an immediately put away the gentleness on his face, replacing it with a cold expression. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's deal with business. The incident with Concubine Wu must serve as a warning, lest my kind intention of letting them out of the palace lead to them being abused by evil people. This is not my original intention."

After hearing what Xie Ci'an said, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but smile gently.

The reason why she fell in love with Xie Ci'an was not because of his partiality and his love for her alone, but more because of him as a person. He was not as selfish as other emperors who could not see the sufferings of the world. He was in a high position. In addition to being a good emperor, he would think about the people and the soldiers on the border. This was probably why an emperor who climbed up from the bottom could see more than others.

Those ministers all said that Xie Ci'an was a tyrant. He was indeed a tyrant, but he was not very kind to the people. Instead, he was more harsh and critical in dealing with court officials.

If it were someone else, they could have just ignored it when those concubines left the palace and such a big thing happened, after all, it had nothing to do with them, but Xie Ci'an was still responsible.

Gu Jianchu was only distracted for a moment and quickly brought his thoughts back.

Her cold gaze swept over the corpse placed not far away. "Zhu Xia, find a straw mat to wrap Wu Yuan's body and place it on an empty carriage. Once this matter is settled, have Yun He find a good feng shui site to bury Wu Yuan. Also, find two magicians to pray for Wu Yuan's soul to be reborn in a good family in her next life. Even if it's just an ordinary family, as long as they treat her well."

Although Zhu Xia didn't understand why Gu Jianchu asked them to bury Wu Yuan's body, she still did as Gu Jianchu said.

Xie Ci'an naturally didn't ask any more questions.

His queen is extremely smart, and there must be a reason for her to do this.

Gu Jianchu did have an idea.

Since the mother and son committed murder and dumped the body, it is naturally impossible for them to admit to killing or defiling Wu Yuan. Moreover, Wu Yuan is now dead and there is no evidence. Even if they are still frightened after seeing them, they will not easily admit to the murder and defiling.

Just as Zhu Xia left, Zhu Xi came to the carriage with a bowl of Tremella soup. "Your Majesty, this is Tremella soup that the chef from the imperial kitchen has just made. It also contains lilies and other fine ingredients. Your Majesty, drink some to warm your body."

Gu Jianchu held it in his palm and smelled it closely, and he could even smell the fragrance of white fungus. "Did the chef make a lot?"

Zhuxi answered truthfully, "I have done a lot."

"Ask the chef to serve a few more bowls to each minister. Drinking something hot in the snow can warm your body." Gu Jianchu's eyes naturally swept over the ministers who were standing in the snow and stamping their feet in the cold.

The snow was already falling heavier and heavier. The misty drizzle had gradually turned into a moderate snowfall. If they delayed any further, the snow might get too heavy and it would be difficult to travel. Cheng Song stepped forward and suggested, "Your Majesty, if you continue to delay, the snow might get too heavy and it would be difficult to travel. Why don't you go to Wanguo Temple first? We can deal with Concubine Wu's matter there, and take the people Chongfeng and Wen Zhu captured directly to Wanguo Temple for processing."

Xie Ci'an didn't respond to Cheng Song immediately. He tapped his thigh lightly with his fingers, and finally his gaze fell on Gu Jianchu. "What does the Queen think?"

It is easier to identify criminals at the crime scene and it is also easier to break down the criminals' psychological defenses, but the snow outside is indeed getting heavier. Although the road to Wanguo Temple is a highway, it is difficult to walk due to the heavy snow, and there may be other dangers.

As long as the criminals are caught within today, they will still be defenseless.
