In the dead of night, every household has already fallen asleep.

At this moment, Qi Qingxi was leaning on Gu Yu's chest with piercing eyes, listening to him talk about those things in the court during the day.

Qi Qingxi was surprised when she heard Gu Yu talk about Li Qiming's anger at Li Dequan, the members of King An's party and the party of King Qi's debate in court, and even Chen Shoufu and Xu Ge, who had always been silent, stood up to speak.

Especially when she heard about Princess An Le's brave entry into the court, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

In the novels she read in the past, all the time-traveling women broke the feudal order and entered the imperial court bravely, but An Le was not much better than modern women.

Anyway, as a girl wearing a book, she admires Princess Anle.

At least she doesn't dare to challenge the court order established by the entire feudal dynasty for thousands of years by herself. Even if she dares to do so, she doesn't have an emperor father to protect her life.

She only dared to act in private, borrowing public opinion and informing King An like the matter of King Qi, to fight hard.

Qi Qingxi suddenly remembered something, she said strangely: "But I remember you said that Princess Anle was imprisoned in the mansion by the Imperial Army, so how did she escape from the mansion and go to the court?"

Gu Yu chuckled: "I'm afraid Xi'er has forgotten that there is a very smart son-in-law in Princess Anle's mansion. This son-in-law of Marquis of Pingnan is not a cheap lamp. Apart from helping the princess out of the mansion, I'm afraid He also encouraged the princess to go to court."

When Gu Yu mentioned Prince Pingnanhou, Qi Qingxi remembered what Fan Qingshan had told her last time.

"Fan Qingshan told me last time that Pingnanhou's son kept a concubine outside, and the concubine said that one night the prince was drunk and said something that he wanted to help Pingnanhou to turn the capital upside down. I was so busy that I forgot and didn't tell you in time."

Gu Yu smiled softly and said: "It's nothing, the emperor also knows that his intention of coming to the capital is definitely not simple, so he has been sending people to watch him. If he dares to do anything wrong, someone will punish him immediately."

Qi Qingxi couldn't help but asked curiously: "The emperor also knows that Pingnanhou's son is raising a foreign room outside? He doesn't intend to take care of it."

"The emperor knew the son's virtue early in the morning, so he didn't want to marry the princess to him, but the princess wanted to, so he didn't bother to take care of these things."

Qi Qingxi curled her lips. Anyway, she couldn't understand this kind of behavior of "father's kindness and daughter's filial piety". If someone dared to do this to her daughter, she could kill that person with her bare hands.

"Is there any result in the matter in the court? Or is it just a matter of nothing?" Qi Qingxi asked again.

"I haven't heard any news from the palace yet." Gu Yu said, "But with King An's character, he will never let this opportunity go, and my people say that King An has sent someone to Stories about King Qi's assassination of the emperor are spreading in the streets and alleys."

Qi Qingxi looked up at Gu Yu's chin: "What does King An mean? Do you want to force the emperor to deal with King Qi?"

"Well." Gu Yu said, "Based on what I know about the emperor, I'm afraid that King Qi will have to be severely punished this time, as well as King An and Princess An Le, and even everyone who witnessed King Qi stabbing the emperor at the time. will be punished."

Qi Qingxi thought about what happened in Chengqian Palace, if everyone present would be punished: "Then Xianfei and An Ning..."

Gu Yu smiled and held Qi Qingxi's hand: "Don't worry, the two of them will be fine, it's not their fault, the two of them will be punished by the emperor with some salary at most."

"That's good."

Qi Qingxi found a stable position in Gu Yu's arms and lay down again.

"After all, the emperor is fine, and you can sleep peacefully in the next few days."

In the afternoon, the palace sent guards to each government to inform that the court meeting will be suspended in the next few days, and all the adults can go directly to the yamen to go to the yamen.

Although Qi Qingxi felt sorry for Emperor Qitai, she felt sorry for her husband even more, wishing she didn't have to go to court every day.

Therefore, in the next few days, Gu Yu really slept very peacefully every day, and sometimes even lay down with Qi Qingxi until the sun was high before getting up.

After all, although he is the Minister of the Household Department, there are strict rules of procedure for all affairs of the Household Department, which is no different than the fact that he has to personally review everything in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In addition, his wife was about to give birth in more than a month, so he was happy to spend time with his wife at home.

A few more days.

The matter of King Qi's assassination of the emperor has already created an uproar in the ruling and opposition parties.

Especially those scholars who respect etiquette and education feel that King Qi's act of killing his father is simply heinous, and it is difficult to convince the world without severe punishment.

After a few days of silence in the palace, Emperor Qitai finally issued an imperial decree to rule on the matter.

The king of Qi was unfilial and unkind, so he was demoted as a commoner and exiled to Qiongzhou.King An disregarded the emperor's oral instructions, did not think of brotherhood, was not filial or fraternal, and was fined to close the mansion to meditate on himself and fined him three years of salary.Princess Anle disregarded the court's laws and acted unscrupulously in the court as a woman. She was punished by confinement in the palace and relearned the rules and fined her salary for three years.

In addition, the ministers of the two parties who spoke up to defend King An and King Qi in the court were punished to varying degrees, and the leading ministers who falsely said that "master and servant have one virtue" were directly dismissed from office and exiled.

The matter is considered to be settled, and the dissatisfaction between the government and the opposition has finally been calmed down.

As for the other people present at Chengqian Palace that day.

Concubine Xian and An Ning were fined only one year's salary as Gu Yu expected.

But those slaves were not so lucky, especially Emperor Qitai sent someone to strictly investigate the slaves who were present that day. Everywhere in the palace is rough envoys and slaves.

Qi Qingxi thought of the palace man who tipped off Gu Yu. Since she was acting for Gu Yu, she always hoped that the palace man would not be implicated.

If you can't keep this person, who will dare to do things for them in the future.

Gu Yu reassured her not to worry, the person who sent him the letter was Li Yu, the eunuch next to An Ning.

Qi Qingxi understood, but she didn't expect that it was Li Yu who informed Gu Yu. If it was Li Yu, then she really wasn't worried that he would be punished.

Li Yu grew up with An Ning and was Li Dequan's apprentice, so he would not be severely punished.

It seems that the most pitiful person in this matter has to be her uncle.

Although the uncle was reminded by Gu Yu not to talk nonsense in front of Emperor Qitai, Princess Anle's escape from the mansion was regarded as a breach of duty by the guards in front of the gate. punish.

Not only was he punished, but the confinement of King An's mansion and the safety of King Qi's family during their demolition to Qiongzhou Mansion were handed over to his uncle.

Her uncle lived in fear every day during this period, afraid that something might go wrong if he didn't pay attention.

Especially King Qi, if possible, he would like to personally send people to Qiongzhou Mansion.

Qi Qingxi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, poor uncle.
