Gu Qing withdrew her gaze, looked down and saw Chen Zhizhou holding her hand, and smiled faintly.
The person next to him lowered his voice: "You will follow me today, don't be afraid."
"Okay." Gu Qing's heart suddenly calmed down. In fact, she had few opportunities to enter and leave the palace in her past and present lives, and she learned many things from Chen Zhizhou.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Zhizhou had already treated her as his own in his previous life. Otherwise, according to his personality, he would never tell her about the things in the palace.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zhizhou was observant and noticed that Gu Qing was feeling a little lost. He squeezed her palm and asked, "Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"
Gu Qing shook her head, her eyebrows slightly curved like a crescent moon: "Don't worry too much. If I can't even hold up the polite words, how can I accompany you?"
When Chen Zhizhou looked into her eyes, it seemed as if there were bright stars. Gu Qing had never been the same as other women. Whenever he looked into her eyes, he always felt like he was standing in the wilderness.
"My wife, of course, doesn't need to worry about your husband." Chen Zhizhou said with a smile. Gu Qing was also moved by his trust and whispered, "Thank you."
The intimate scene between the two was seen by several people washing up behind them. Qu Lingling was extremely jealous and forced a smile on her red face. Wu Xian'er and Du Qing, who were taught a lesson by Gu Qing last time, had to use heavy rouge to cover up their pale complexion in order to attend the palace night banquet.
Now seeing the two of them like this, I feel even more resentful.
The three of them stood together, looking at each other. Qu Lingling lowered her voice and asked, "Du Qing, how is your injury?"
"If I were you, I would not miss such a good opportunity today."
Du Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I always take revenge when I have a grudge, and I always repay a grudge when I have a grudge! Today, I will make Gu Qing pay back all the grudges for insulting me in the street last time!"
Wu Xian'er added, "Can you do it? Last time I asked you to do something, you got beaten up by Gu Qing, and you haven't even been confined to your house yet."
"If Qu Lingling and I hadn't pleaded for you, you would still be confined to your house to reflect on your mistakes."
Wu Xian'er's ridicule made Du Qing furious. He was filled with anger and hatred: "This time, I will make sure that Gu Qing cannot leave the palace alive!"
Not far away, Gu Miao, who was attending the evening banquet with Gu Yunzhao, was wearing a long pink sand-colored brocade dress with a white floor-length lotus-patterned silk gauze falling from it. She was wearing an exquisite blue jade bracelet that jingled with every step she took.
What a beautiful lady with a graceful and elegant appearance.
Gu Qing had also seen her just now. Judging from the way Gu Miao was dressed, Gu Yunzhao and Liu had put a lot of thought into it. They probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get a royal son.
A hint of coldness flashed in Gu Qing's eyes. It was a pity that their idea was just a waste of time.
From today on, no one in the capital dares to ask for Gu Miao's hand in marriage!
At the same time, Chen Zhizhou also nodded to Gu Yunzhao from a distance. His peripheral vision swept over to Gu Miao beside him, but he immediately retracted it and smiled at Gu Qing, "Your sister is really pretty today."
Gu Qing raised an eyebrow: "Why, my husband also likes little white flowers?"
Her tone was somewhat dissatisfied. Chen Zhizhou moved closer and whispered to her: "As a husband, I only love you, my wife."
"It's just that I feel that Gu Miao's outfit today is similar to my wife's. It's a pity that she is just imitating others."
Gu Qing was amused by him. Now it was their turn to search. The officer in charge was a subordinate of Chen Zhizhou. He immediately became respectful: "Sir Chen, I'm sorry."
Chen Zhizhou waved his hand and deliberately raised his voice: "Investigate carefully and don't let those with ulterior motives enter the palace."
"Yes, sir!"
After he spoke, the search became more strict, and some people's faces turned a little colder, and they were quite dissatisfied with his ostentatious behavior.
Some gossipy people said, "Chen Zhizhou is really taking advantage of the Third Prince's favor and spreading it around!"
"That's right. His wife is not a good person either. I heard that she had an affair with the criminal Pian Shaoheng who died in the fire."
"But that's not all. The daughters of the Wu and Du families also suffered a lot at her hands."
"What a vicious woman!"
Chen Zhizhou, who was standing nearby, had very good hearing. Originally, he didn't care about what these people said, but when they suddenly mentioned Gu Qing, his face immediately turned cold.
Holding Gu Qing's hand, they walked back. The soldiers who were searching did not dare to say anything and just let him go.
Gu Qing raised his head slightly, knowing what Chen Zhizhou was going to do.
If these people are not given some warnings, they will not know how to control their mouths.
By then, three people will make a tiger, and misfortune will never come alone.
The group was talking excitedly. Chen Zhizhou took Gu Qing in his arms and walked over to them. "Isn't this Mr. Zhou, the Minister of Works? How are you today?"
"I heard that the case in Huaishui City has not been closed yet. Lord Zhou will have to worry about it."
The Huaishui City case involved a huge number of people, and almost no one could escape unscathed.
If Chen Zhizhou had been like before, he would have eradicated all these people. If Zhou Jun dared to jump in front of him, he would be asking for trouble.
Zhou Jun immediately had a complicated expression, as if he had eaten a fly and felt half aggrieved. He smiled and said nothing.
As for the other minor officials who were gossiping, they were just followers of the Fifth Prince. When they saw Chen Zhizhou coming, they didn't dare to say a word.
Some of the female relatives also lowered their heads.
Chen Zhizhou looked around and saw Wu Xian'er and Qu Lingling: "Miss Wu and Miss Qu are very popular. You can be seen everywhere."
These words were full of sarcasm from beginning to end. Qu Lingling blushed, and her already rosy face became even more swollen like pig liver.
Wu Xian'er glared at Gu Qing with a cold face.
Chen Zhizhou suddenly said coldly, "Just now, I heard someone say that my wife has a vicious heart?"
"That's a bit ridiculous." Chen Zhizhou suddenly laughed twice, and the others couldn't help but shiver and were not happy at all.
"My wife is as graceful as a willow and as gentle as a rabbit."
The faces of the people in front of her turned pale and red. Gu Qing suppressed her laughter and said softly, "Husband, it's getting late. Let's go into the palace."
"Madam, please." Chen Zhizhou didn't say anything else, and the people who had gathered together to gossip quickly dispersed.
Qu Lingling clenched her fists in her sleeves and said ruthlessly, "Sooner or later, I'm going to make you two fall!"
Over there, Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou entered the palace. When they spoke to the crowd, Gu Qing couldn't help laughing: "How did you say that just now?"
"Tell the truth." Chen Zhizhou pinched Gu Qing's face.
Gu Qing's smile deepened: "I am very touched that you speak for me like this."
"Are you touched by this?" Chen Zhizhou teased Gu Qing, but she said seriously, "I'm very grateful for your kindness to me."
"You are in the palace today, so please don't be so ostentatious."
