"Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, there were many eyewitnesses to the auction at the food festival last time. At that time, it was the county lord of Yongjia who repeatedly opposed the people's daughter, it was the county lord of Yongjia who was wealthy, and the people's daughter was not the opponent of the county lord of Yongjia, and she lost to the county lord, how could His Highness refer to the people's daughter? Gu Xiyan replied without humility or arrogance.

The eldest princess of Duanqing slammed her palm on the table: "Hugh should blur the point!" This palace also asks you, did you collude with Jixianglou and deliberately raise the bid to lure Yongjia into the pit? ! ”

"The folk girl did not collude with Jixianglou, why did His Royal Highness pour dirty water on the folk girl?!" Gu Xiyan's spine straightened, and his expression was frank: "It's obvious that the county lord told me that not only robbed my fiancé, but also robbed me of everything I fancied." As soon as I bid, the county lord followed, and the county lord has been deliberately fighting against me! The county lord also said it at the time, saying that he wanted to ask His Majesty for marriage, that he wanted to marry Zhou Gongzi and be a flat wife, and that I was not her opponent. At that time, there were many onlookers, and they all witnessed how aggressive the county lord was, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess could have found those people to confront him. ”

"What a so-called noble girl with sharp teeth and sharp teeth!" The eldest princess of Duanqing sneered and hooked her lips.

The old lady frowned when she heard this, and then answered: "Everyone knows what kind of temperament our sister Xi is. She has a gentle temperament and never fights with others, if it weren't for the Lord of Yongjia who deceived people too much, Sister Xi would never have quarreled with the Lord of Yongjia. Please the Queen Mother! ”

When the Queen Mother "invited" Gu Xiyan over, she thought about using a palace lynching against Gu Xiyan.

There are many lynchings in the inner palace, and Mama Zhao is a master of lynching, but as soon as Mama Zhao makes a move, no one can survive it, and she believes that Gu Xiyan will not be an exception.

But Mrs. Liu also followed.

Wanqinghou is a close minister of the emperor, and Wanqinghou's Mansion has one of the best status in the noble circle of the capital, otherwise after Zhou Xing withdrew from Gu Xiyan's marriage, he would not have proposed to Liu Chaoyan so soon.

The queen mother has been immersed in the harem for many years, and knows that Emperor Chengde is not an emperor who can be manipulated at will. Prior to this, the mother-son relationship between her and Emperor Chengde had also been well maintained.

If she tortured Gu Xiyan in front of Old Madam Liu today, I was afraid that the emperor would not be able to explain it.

Just when the Queen Mother was hesitating, another voice from the Hou Mansion sounded: "Lord Zhou, please stop......"

Before Jia Ding's words fell, a man in a scarlet official robe strode over.

The person who came was Zhou Dusk.

The moment the Queen Mother and Princess Duanqing saw Zhou Duan's appearance clearly, their eyes lit up.

I saw that this young man had a tall and slender figure, standing like a pine, a handsome face, and a clear and noble temperament, like a fairy who fell from the sky.

No wonder Yongjia was confused when he saw Zhou Dui, who could not love such a peerless appearance?

Zhou Du entered the hall, stood beside Gu Xiyan for the first time, looked her up and down, and after making sure that she was okay, the breath that hung in his heart finally landed safely.

Gu Xiyan knew his worries, and she gave him a reassuring look, saying that she was fine, so he didn't have to worry.

Zhou Du touched her head with a sense of reassurance.

After that, he asked the Queen Mother and the eldest princess Duanqing to say goodbye, saluted the old lady again, and then explained his intentions: "The minister heard that the Queen Mother called Xiyan over to ask questions, so he rushed over. If it was for what happened at the Jixianglou Food Festival, the minister was also present at the time, and he could be a personal witness. ”

Only then did the Queen Mother come back to her senses from Zhou Dui's unparalleled beauty, and dared to love this Lord Zhou who came in a hurry, also to protect Gu Xiyan?

Yongjia insisted that Gu Xiyan deliberately set a trap for her to jump, and she was cheated by Miss Gu for more than 100,000 taels of silver in vain. Moreover, Yongjia also said that the reason why her appearance was ruined was because of Gu's obstruction! The Queen Mother said in a good time: "The mourning family has sent someone to investigate the records of Jixianglou......"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the bookkeeper of Jixiang Building just brought it over, please take a look at the Queen Mother!" Zhou Du stepped forward and handed over the record book of Jixiang Building.

The Queen Mother took a deep look at Zhou Dui, took the file book, and after reading it carefully, she found that there was no problem, and the shopkeeper who recorded the file ten years ago was Wu Tong.

She frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Even if there is no problem with the file book, it does not mean that the Gu family has no contact with Wu Tong in private. In this way, bring everyone in Jixianglou over, and the mourning family will ask in person! ”

Zhou Du looked at Gu Xiyan when he heard this, and couldn't help but be a little worried, he had guessed that Gu Xiyan was the person behind the food festival in Jixianglou.

The food festival is so big, and there are many chefs involved, but if there is a wrong tone, the Queen Mother will not let Gu Xiyan go easily.

But then he thought about it, isn't there still him? What if everyone knew that Gu Xiyan was behind the food festival?

It was the county lord of Yongjia who voluntarily joined the set, and no one forced the lord of Yongjia. It is clear that the county lord of Yongjia is not the first to fall for Xiyan's strategy, and he can only blame the county lord of Yongjia for being stupid.

Gu Xiyan received the look from Zhou Dui, and deeply doubted whether Zhou Du knew that she was the shopkeeper behind Jixiang Building.

She and Zhou Du glanced at each other and stood calmly to the side, without any panic on their faces.

As soon as the Queen Mother gave the order, someone went to Jixianglou to bring people over for questioning.

The shopkeeper and his men of Jixianglou have not yet arrived, but Emperor Chengde came to the Xuanchang Marquis Mansion.

The Queen Mother and Princess Duanqing didn't expect Emperor Chengde to suddenly come.

A room full of people were asking Emperor Chengde for peace, but Emperor Chengde stood in front of Zhou Du and Gu Xiyan and took the lead in exempting the two of them.

Emperor Cheng De patted Zhou Dui's shoulder, and looked at Zhou Du's eyes with great kindness.

The Queen Mother saw this detail in her eyes, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.

Emperor Chengde has been on the throne for more than ten years, and the dragon is very powerful, even in the face of other princes and princesses, the queen mother has never seen such a loving look in the eyes of Emperor Chengde.

Looking at Zhou Du's eyes at this time, she was so loving that she thought she was dazzled.

After Emperor Chengde took his seat, the Queen Mother asked, "Why did the emperor, a busy man, leave the palace?" ”

"I heard that Yongjia had an accident, I came to take a look, I didn't want it to be so lively."

While Emperor Cheng De was talking, he saw Zhou Dui standing side by side with Gu Xiyan, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it: "Zimo and Gu Yatou are really a pair of beautiful people made in heaven." ”

The affection in his eyes could not be concealed, nor did he hide the thought.

After a while, everyone will know that Zimo is his eldest son.

Seeing this, a sneer broke out at the corner of Princess Duanqing's lips.

The imperial brother said that he came to see Yongjia, but he never mentioned Yongjia again, but praised Gu Xiyan and Zhou Dui as a match, the imperial brother is facing an outsider?

It's just that she is unhappy in her heart, but she still has to echo it.

People are groggy, but as soon as I see it rise to 9.1 points, haha, I feel like I'm awake again. Thank you for your support.
