Things that can't be figured out even if you want to break your head, no matter how much you waste your mind, you can never figure it out easily. Qi Qingxi knows this well.

Coupled with the fact that her body is getting heavier in the late pregnancy, she really doesn't have the energy to think about anything else.

She raised her baby at home with peace of mind, and Gu Yu now rushes back to accompany her for a walk in the garden every day when it is time to go to the Yamen.

According to Zhang Jingshi's words, more walking is helpful for production.

However, Gu Yu didn't return home until it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.

Qi Qingxi was worried and restless at home.

Gu Yu returned home with a serious expression until near the end of the day. He washed up in the front yard before going to the back yard.

He was thinking about things with his brows furrowed all the way, and when he saw the room still flickering with lights, he slowed down and walked into the room.

Qi Qingxi was sitting on the soft couch, and Sequoia was massaging her swollen calf. Seeing Gu Yu's return, she breathed a sigh of relief: "You are back."

Gu Yu stepped forward to take over Sequoia's actions: "I'm here, go down and rest."

Sequoia retreated in response, and closed the door by the way.

Gu Yu heard the sound of the door closing, and said, "Something happened in the palace today. I was in a hurry to send someone to inquire, but I forgot to let someone come to inform you."

If it can make Gu Yu anxious enough to immediately send someone to inquire, I'm afraid there is something serious going on in the palace.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Qi Qingxi said.

"Two things."

Gu Yu sighed: "Firstly, this morning, the court announced the impeachment of Princess Changping and her daughter Princess Danyang for using power for personal gain, occupying more than a thousand acres of good land from the common people, occupying men from good families and even hurting people's lives, and many other crimes."

Qi Qingxi stared in surprise.

She remembered that she asked Fan Qingshan to collect the evidence, but she hadn't had time to send it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Seeing her surprise, Gu Yu explained to her, "It was King Jin who did it."

Qi Qingxi's eyes widened even further, what enmity does King Jin have with Princess Changping?Could it be that he wanted to avenge Ah Nuan?

Qi Qingxi put away her surprise and asked curiously: "Then how did the emperor make the decision?"

"After hearing this, the emperor was very angry. He reprimanded the mother and daughter of Changping Changping for enjoying the royal honor and fiefdom but still not satisfied. They oppressed the people and failed the emperor's favor. The eldest princess, mother and daughter went to the late emperor's tomb to meditate on his own past."

"Heh." Qi Qingxi sneered, "This mother and daughter murdered people, so this punishment is considered cheap for them."

Gu Yu said: "There is no other way."

Qi Qingxi frowned: "As the saying goes, the emperor commits the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. What's more, they are only princesses and princesses. If the emperor really wants to punish them, is there any way?"

"This matter is really difficult." Gu Yu reached out and rubbed Qi Qingxi's eyebrows, "From the generation of the great ancestors to the current emperor, the royal family has always been prosperous, and those who bully others don't know how to do it. killed."

Gu Yu sat beside Qi Qingxi and hugged her shoulders: "If the emperor punishes Changping's mother and daughter severely today, I'm afraid the desks of the adults in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be piled up like a mountain tomorrow."

"It is inevitable that there will be people who are all soldiers, thinking that a catastrophe is imminent, and want to resist, and make a move of resistance. I am afraid that when the time comes, there will be a lot of harm and it will be out of control."

Qi Qingxi turned her head to look at Gu Yu: "Are they allowed to continue to behave like this and bully the people?"

Qi Qingxi showed anger: "I am so angry for no other reason, just because I was once a commoner and the target of others' bullying, so I hope someone can uphold justice for us."

When Gu Yu heard this, she remembered the scene when she was bullied by the sister surnamed Li when she was in Ansui.

He leaned over and kissed Qi Qingxi's temple, and said with a soft snort: "The current sage, unless someone sues, I'm afraid there is no other way."

Gu Yu's words made Qi Qingxi suddenly think of Wang Lang's matter. At that time, Emperor Qitai had the attitude of not blaming the law.

Thinking of Wang Lang's matter, Qi Qingxi couldn't help sighing.

In the era of supremacy of imperial power, what the emperor wants to do may not necessarily be done, but what the emperor does not want to do is absolutely impossible.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu's next words made Qi Qingxi's eyes light up again, and she looked up at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu looked at her and said, "Maybe the current emperor can't do it, but if it's King Jin... When King Jin was young, he traveled around Dayu to study. As far as I know, he has heard and even witnessed many people who oppressed the people along the way." If it is within the ability, it will never be tolerated."

Qi Qingxi understood the meaning of Gu Yu's words, but she was not so optimistic.

Emperor Qitai can be regarded as a wise emperor, but he is still subject to the intricate bureaucratic forces inside and outside the court.

It's no wonder that in the book, Li Qiming only launched two wars, while Da Yuchao looked like he was suffering from internal and external troubles.

It is clear that the Dayu Dynasty's stubborn illness has been deep and hard to recover, coupled with Li Qiming's tyranny and torture, it directly led to the decline of the Dayu Dynasty.

In such a situation, even if King Jin can reach the summit smoothly, can he really hold the building back from falling by himself?

Qi Qingxi shook his head lightly: "How can a moth shake a big tree?"

Gu Yu smiled and said: "One gnat can't shake the big tree, what if there are thousands of them? There is no shortage of gnats, what is missing is a leader who can lead them to shake the tree fearlessly. The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, His Royal Highness King Jin is still young, and perhaps he is the most suitable candidate."

"Besides..." Gu Yu added, "Not all courts are full of bullying people. If someone is right, there will be someone who will fully support him, such as me."

Qi Qingxi smiled and put his arms around Gu Yu's neck: "Yes, Mr. Gu has always loved the people like a son."

It was like this in Ansui before, if Gu Yu hadn't personally set out to go to the countryside to observe the people's situation and affairs, the two of them would not have met again.

Qi Qingxi will never forget the tall figure that stopped her when her cheap second aunt wanted to touch her.

She raised her head and leaned in front of Gu Yu, and kissed him heavily on the chin.

"By the way, you just said that two things happened today." Qi Qingxi suddenly remembered, "What about the other one?"

The matter of Princess Changping was impeached by the censor above the court, and Emperor Qitai had also ordered punishment.

As Gu Yu is the servant of the household department, it is not the household department's turn to punish him. This should not be the reason for Gu Yu's late return.

The rest is a matter of the palace.

Not only did Gu Yu specially send someone to inquire, but she even didn't go home until this point.

Qi Qingxi: "What happened in the palace?"

Gu Yu narrowed his eyes: "King Qi and Princess Anle angered the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty decreed that the two should be confined in their respective mansions, and they are not allowed to go out without an order."
