Chapter 107 I suddenly had an idea
[Now the phrase "worse than beasts" has become a concrete and figurative expression.]
I'm starting to suspect that this person is not only infertile, but also a psychopath. He enjoys reading about his sister-in-law and brother-in-law. I wonder how his sister-in-law and brother-in-law would react when they find out about this.
I suddenly had an idea.
As Xie Ci'an was able to accompany Gu Jianchu to eat melons, he immediately understood what Gu Jianchu was thinking.
Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an with a burning gaze and said softly, "I just heard a piece of gossip from my elder sister. It said that the young general who protects the country is infertile, and that the child of Xu is the young general's younger brother's. Not only did the young general know about this, he even took the initiative to send his wife to his younger brother's bed."
"Although it's just gossip, it sounds very plausible to me. It doesn't seem fake. It's truly despicable for the young general who protects the country to humiliate his wife like this. This behavior also damages General Xu's reputation."
"I also think what the Queen said makes sense. Chongfeng, please pass the order down and ask the people from the Imperial City Bureau to investigate the truth of this matter." Xie Ci'an hugged Gu Jianchu's waist, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense.
Downstairs, Gu Jianyue had a hard time sending away the two big Buddhas, the wife of the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the wife of the Young General who Protects the Country. If they had stayed any longer, the entire embroidery workshop would have been destroyed by them.
When Gu Jianyue came up again, she was sweating profusely from exhaustion. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed the Emperor and the Empress."
"It's okay. It's inevitable to encounter such unreasonable customers when doing business." Xie Ci'an rarely spoke in a gentle tone to others.
Gu Jianyue brought the two of them back to the private room.
The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time and seemed to have endless things to talk about. Xie Ci'an sat in the armchair beside them, quietly listening to the two sisters chatting. When they realized it, it was already afternoon. "It's all my fault for talking too much and delaying time so late."
"It's okay. You two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time." Xie Ci'an said gently, and walked forward to put his arm around Gu Jianchu's waist.
Thinking that her sister was still watching, Gu Jianchu bumped his hand on her waist with her elbow and warned him with her eyes to restrain himself.
Not only did Xie Ci'an not restrain himself, he held Gu Jianchu's waist even tighter and pulled him together, so that Gu Jianchu pressed his entire body against Xie Ci'an's chest.
Gu Jianchu was frightened and panicked.
Outside, Xie Ci'an didn't go too far. He was a little naughty and let go of Gu Jianchu.
Gu Jianyue, who had seen all of the two people's little movements, had a smile that was hard to hide on her lips. "It's getting late, I won't keep you two for dinner, otherwise it will be dark by the time we return to the palace."
"But I asked Tinglan to go to Wangxianlou and pack up the roast duck and crispy pork elbow that Achu likes to eat. There are also two servings of Wangxianlou's most popular cherry pancakes." Gu Jianyue handed the food box to Zhuxi beside him.
"Sister is still the best to me." Gu Jianchu hugged Gu Jianyue's arm and rubbed it against her, acting coquettishly, just like when he was a child.
Gu Jianyue just smiled dotingly at her younger sister.
As the two of them left Chunshui Embroidery Workshop, a strange man strode up to Xie Ci'an and stood aside. Zhongfeng did not stop him. The strange man just leaned close to Xie Ci'an's ear and whispered a few words.
Gu Jianchu has been accompanying the emperor for such a long time, but he has never seen the man in front of him. He thinks he should be a secret guard who specializes in secret matters. Being able to be so close to the emperor is like Chongfeng, Wenzhu and others.
After the man finished speaking, Xie Ci'an frowned.
Just as Gu Jianchu was curious and wanted to use the system to investigate, Xie Ci'an spoke first, "The rumors the Queen heard are true. After investigation by the Imperial City Bureau's secret guards, it was confirmed that the young Protector General was indeed infertile. Not only that, Xu's child is the Protector General's younger brother's. The two were tricked by the Protector General into having sex with hallucinogenic drugs."
Xie Ci'an had no way of collecting this evidence in a short period of time, so he just made up an excuse to put the blame on the Imperial City Division in order to avoid exposing the fact that he could eavesdrop on her thoughts and continue to act accordingly.
"I didn't expect the young Protector of the Nation General to be such a disgusting person. He actually gave his wife to his brother to sleep with and deceived his wife in this way. Your Majesty, can you find a way to switch the hallucinogenic drugs that the young Protector of the Nation General gave the two of them and let the young Protector of the Nation General's brother and wife know about this."
Gu Jianchu did not hide his anger at all.
"I have ordered people to replace the hallucinogenic drugs of the two with other drugs that can make them temporarily lose their ability to move, but their consciousness will be clear. In this way, the two of them can see the true faces of their husbands and brothers." There was an unshakable coldness between Xie Ci'an's eyebrows.
Seeing the young general's true face while awake was much more convincing than hearing it from others. Others might have said the young general could still argue, but seeing it with my own eyes, there was no room for quibbling.
[I'm really curious about how the young general who protects the country will cover up his lies after the truth is exposed, and how he will face his brother and wife.]
[Since I started eating melons, I've never eaten such an explosive and exciting melon. I really want to see what happens in person.]
It seems that there is no excuse to run to the residence of the young general who protects the country to see the scene, and also eat melons secretly without being discovered by them.
It is really distressing to know such an explosive piece of news but not be able to experience it in person.
Gu Jianchu was just bowing his head in thought when Xie Ci'an's gentle voice came from above, "Does the Queen want to visit the Protector General's Mansion?"
Xie Ci'an couldn't find an excuse and could only ask directly.
He now also knew that the queen was a person who liked to join in the fun.
Gu Jianchu even thought she had misheard. She stared at Xie Ci'an with sparkling eyes, making sure that Xie Ci'an was not joking. She really wanted to agree immediately, but after all, it was an official's mansion. "Would it be inconvenient for me to go?"
"It's not inconvenient at all." Xie Ci'an pinched Gu Jianchu's slightly cold fingers, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Gu Jianchu nodded rapidly and followed Xie Ci'an into the carriage.
They are now in the east of the city, and the residence of the Protector General is located in the west of the city, spanning most of the capital.
They probably wouldn't have time to eat soon, so Gu Jianchu took out the roast duck and crispy pork elbow that his sister had packed for them and started eating them with relish.
By the time they had filled their stomachs, the carriage had already arrived at the General's Mansion.
It was now completely dark, and in order not to attract attention, Chongfeng parked the carriage in an alley not far from the general's mansion.
In the moonlight, Xie Ci'an carried Gu Jianchu down from the carriage.
Zhuxi didn't know kung fu so he was left in the carriage waiting, while Chongfeng followed the emperor and empress to eat melons.
The three of them did not go through the front door, but went straight to the back door of the general's mansion.
[Why does he look like a thief when he's sneaking around like that?]
Xie Ci'an: Who am I doing this for? I just want the Queen to have a taste of melon.
Gu Jianchu was afraid of being discovered, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Your Majesty, how are we going to get in?"
