Because of Pei Shaoheng, Chen Zhizhou's kiss became more domineering than ever before.

There was a lot of noise outside the carriage. Gu Qing felt embarrassed and anxious. Her cheeks were like clouds in the sky and her whole body was burning hot.

Her head was buzzing and she had no idea where she was.

When Chen Zhizhou let her go, Gu Qing's mind was withdrawn in an instant. She became more and more embarrassed and angry. She clutched his chest with both hands, her chest heaving violently, her eyes were quite blurred, and her voice was as soft as water: "You...what are you doing!"

Chen Zhizhou grabbed her wrists with one hand and her waist with the other, pretending to be wronged and said, "Madam, you must not help other men like this in the future."

Gu Qing was slightly stunned. Is this matter so important to him?

"I..." She moved her mouth, but couldn't tell the whole story. She nodded helplessly and said, "Okay."

"Can you let me go now?" She lowered her voice very low, for fear that the coachman outside the carriage would hear it.

Chen Zhizhou has never cared about what others say, but she is still a woman after all, and she is not as shameless as him.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing glared at Chen Zhizhou again.

The woman under him was shy and angry, and Chen Zhizhou couldn't help laughing. He gently kissed her forehead, then carefully helped her sit down and carefully smoothed her clothes.

"Is the Madam still angry?"

Gu Qing pretended to snort coldly and said, "Of course! This is a carriage! This is really ridiculous!"

Chen Zhizhou's eyes dimmed slightly. He placed her hand in his palm and stroked it gently. "It was my fault just now. Please don't blame me, Madam."

"But Madam, please don't forget what you promised me just now."

Chen Zhizhou, this fox! He was waiting for me here!

"I remember it!" Gu Qing was not in a good mood, but his eyebrows raised slightly, and he was happy in his heart.

The two had little interaction in their previous life, and even less after Chen Zhizhou was demoted to the border. When he returned to Beijing, the situation was completely different.

Gu Qing sighed involuntarily, the guilt in his heart rushing to his head again, and he softened his voice and said: "I did this to Pei Shaoheng for you."

"Since I am already your wife, how could I fall in love with other men?" Gu Qing spoke slowly, the tenderness in her eyes rippled.

Chen Zhizhou looked at her and suddenly spoke, which made Gu Qing's heart ache. "Madam, I have a question."

"you say."

"When the lady married me, I heard that she wanted to run away the night before and didn't want to meet me during the marriage talk. Later, she changed her mind. Although I was happy, I always felt that the lady was nice to me because of other reasons."

Chen Zhizhou's eyes flashed with deep meaning, and he held Gu Qing's hand a little tighter, as if worried that she would leave. "Madam, do you feel guilty towards me?"

Gu Qing's heart suddenly beat violently. He clenched his other hand into a fist, suppressing his sadness. He said calmly, "Yes."

"It's because I treated you badly before, and now that I realize you're such a wonderful man, I can't help but feel guilty."

She felt that there was no flaw in her words.

Chen Zhizhou's smile was mixed with some indescribable emotions, "So that's how it is."

"In that case, Madam, there is no need to feel guilty. I am a man who has done his duty and left without taking many things to heart. Now that Madam treats me sincerely, that is enough."

Hearing this, Gu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a little sad, nodded and said, "Okay."

The two of them said nothing more. Gu Qing knew Chen Zhizhou was a thoughtful person, and he must have discovered some clues during his visit to the Chen residence today. For example, Gu Yunzhao's hypocrisy and his own inadvertent revelation of his intention to escape the Gu residence with his mother.

How smart is he? How could he not guess that I have been hiding many things from him? Otherwise, he would not be like this now.

Gu Qing was very conflicted. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at him, but finally suppressed the urge to tell him the truth.

.....

When they returned to Chen Mansion, the golden sunset was shining on the vermilion walls. Gu Qing raised his eyes and looked at the walls and sky in all directions, and sighed.

Chen Zhizhou took a round fan from the house and fanned her, saying soothingly, "Madam, are you thinking about the Gu family?"

Gu Qing nodded. "Fortunately, mother is fine, but she is not in good health now, and I am always worried."

"This is a simple matter. Dr. Huang is kind-hearted. We don't need to ask him for help. He will often check on my mother-in-law's pulse himself."

Chen Zhizhou fanned Gu Qing away some of the heat, but seeing that her brows were still furrowed, he continued, "At worst, it might not be a bad idea to bring my mother-in-law to stay at the Chen residence for a few days."

When Gu Qing heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said helplessly: "Let's discuss this matter later. Now that the Liu mother and daughter have been punished, I believe they will not make trouble again in the near future."

"Madam, why do you have to tolerate the two of them? If you don't like them, just get rid of them." Chen Zhizhou said coldly.

In his opinion, the lives of Liu's mother and daughter were just like those of ants. If Gu Qing had not stopped today, they might have been beaten to death.

Gu Qing smiled bitterly, "I do want to, but I have to consider my father's face."

This statement is quite profound.

Chen Zhizhou thought for a moment and did not continue to talk about the matter, but secretly ordered people to keep an eye on Liu's mother and daughter.

If there is anything unusual, get rid of it immediately.

"By the way, how is the princess of the Western Regions' illness?" Gu Qing suddenly remembered this, and Chen Zhizhou's face darkened for a moment.

He dismissed the servants and maids in the courtyard and then said calmly, "Pretend to be sick."

Chen Zhizhou said these two words neither lightly nor heavily, but Gu Qing's heart sank: "Did Mr. Huang diagnose it?

"That's right. Mr. Huang secretly informed me of this matter and asked me to stop going to the palace because of my poor medical skills."

Gu Qing was not surprised. Mr. Huang was a smart man, so he naturally guessed the dark thoughts of those people in the palace. He didn't want to get involved, so naturally he didn't want to go again.

"What does the imperial concubine think?" Gu Qing asked curiously.

After all, this matter concerns the third prince, and Chen Zhizhou is the most important person in front of Li Xiangji. Now the heavy burden is on him, which is also his difficulty.

"I tell you the truth. As for the rest, it's the affairs of the women in the palace."

Gu Qing laughed: "You are quite brave and can get rid of it cleanly."

Chen Zhizhou looked very calm, but Gu Qing could still sense the sadness in his eyes.

"Now that I've told the Imperial Concubine the truth, she already has a chance of winning. Naiza has just arrived and she dared to plot against the Imperial Concubine..."

Gu Qing followed up on his words and suddenly said, "The ambition of the prodigal son is obvious."

Chen Zhizhou suddenly turned his head to look at her, his eyes flickering slightly. "Madam, do you think she's coming for the Third Prince?"

"My dear husband, you are worrying too much. I was just saying it casually." Gu Qing took the round fan from his hand and fanned herself, trying to interrupt his topic.

If I continue talking, I'm afraid I'll reveal more.

But she must alert Chen Zhizhou!

"Madam." Chen Zhizhou suddenly lowered his head and stared at him, his eyes quite meaningful. "Sometimes I feel that you seem to be able to understand the mysteries."
