Looking at the two kneeling people, the emperor had some thoughts in his mind.

"Wang Qi, have you insulted or slandered the Gu family?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Wang Qi trembled slightly.

Just as he was about to refute, he looked up and met the emperor's majestic and sharp eyes.

Wang Qi was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly. He immediately lowered his head and moved his mouth again and again, but he couldn't utter a word.

"Qier, His Majesty is asking you a question."

Seeing that Wang Qi was slow to respond, Cheng Xingbo patted Wang Qi's arm anxiously.

But Wang Qi still didn't react.

"Your Majesty, Qi'er must have been frightened. Qi'er would never insult the Marquis' Mansion, let alone Old Marquis Gu. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

Seeing that Wang Qi remained silent, Cheng Xingbo began to think.

I was extremely angry, but I had no place to vent my anger.

Even help cover it up.

Seeing this, the emperor had everything clear to him and he immediately understood what had happened.

"My people have already found out the truth. Wang Qi did insult the Marquis' Mansion. The scholars and common people inside and outside the Wanshu Pavilion can all testify to this."

"Wang Qi, do you have anything else to defend yourself?" The emperor was a little annoyed.

Wang Qi turned pale instantly and didn't dare to explain himself, but Cheng Xingbo couldn't help but defend his son.

"Your Majesty, Qi'er, you know. He would never be so foolish. It must be that the Wanshu Pavilion spread rumors everywhere and did it on purpose. Your Majesty, please be clear-sighted."

When the emperor heard Cheng Xingbo's questioning words, his face turned dark.

What a bunch of idiots. Why would he be willing to waste his time on such idiots??!

Finally, the matter ended with Cheng Xingbo and other officials begging for mercy. Wang Qi and others were punished by being confined to their homes for three months, and Cheng Xingbo and others were fined half a year's salary.

The matter was resolved, and Gu Jue took Gu Qing without saying a word and left the palace as quickly as possible.

She really can't stand it anymore!

She would feel sick if she stayed for one more second!

I felt extremely irritable and nauseous.

She had never been so sick.

Gu Jue didn't even want to think about this kind of person. He felt so disgusted just thinking about it.

Gu Jue quickly returned to the mansion.

However, the palace did not calm down just because this matter was resolved.

In the imperial study, Shen Zhuo was playing chess with the emperor.

"Are you feeling well?" The emperor's voice was full of concern.

"Chang'an is much better now. Thank you for your concern, uncle."

Shen Zhuo has always been a sensible person. He never calls the emperor "Uncle" when there are court officials around. He always calls him "Your Majesty".

Only when they were in private did Shen Zhuo call the emperor "Uncle".

Of course, he knew and could feel the emperor's favor towards him.

But etiquette cannot be abolished.

They are subjects in the court and family members in private.

Obviously the emperor also knew what Shen Zhuo meant.

Although the emperor was a little helpless, Shen Zhuo was the "son" he had always dreamed of having.

"Although I'm getting better, I still need to stay healthy and take care of myself."

"Only in this way can I participate in the Spring Examination in the best condition. I am waiting for Chang'an to bring me the top prize." The emperor's face was full of smiles and pride.

It was as if Shen Zhuo was his own biological son, with an expression of pride and honor on his face that could not be concealed.

Hearing the emperor's tone, Shen Zhuo couldn't help but chuckle.

His face was full of confidence and high spirits.

"Uncle, rest assured. Chang'an will definitely win the title."

"Hahahaha, good, good. You are worthy of being an heir to the royal family, this is how you should be." The emperor was so happy that he could not control his laughter and laughed out loud.

After the two chatted about their studies, the emperor asked about what happened today.

However, the emperor was not concerned about what had just happened, but.

"I heard that you have been reading in the Wanshu Pavilion these days? What do you think of the Wanshu Pavilion, Changan?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhuo frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "Chang'an has indeed been reading in the Wanshu Pavilion these days."

“What I saw and heard was different from all the other bookstores.”

"There are indeed many books in the Wanshu Pavilion, and I enjoyed reading them very much. However, Changan feels that the most important thing is not how many books there are in the Wanshu Pavilion, but the behavior of the Wanshu Pavilion."

“Open up book resources and allow students to read books in the library.”

"Chang'an feels that all the actions of the Wanshu Pavilion are beneficial to the development of Dayan, and can also suppress the development of the aristocratic families."

"If every city in Dayan has one or two book buildings like the Wanshu Pavilion, Changan believes that Dayan will soon surpass Dayu and become the most powerful country."

"Does Chang'an think so highly of Wanshu Pavilion?" Seeing that Shen Zhuo had such a good impression of Wanshu Pavilion, the emperor became curious.

“It’s not a good sign.”

"All these good futures have a premise, that is, the Wanshu Pavilion will not affect the imperial power, let alone the status of the royal family."

Shen Zhuo's words were very straightforward, and the emperor naturally thought so too.

"According to Chang'an's opinion, should I let the Wanshu Pavilion go?"

"It can be allowed, but it needs to be controlled, and the Wanshu Pavilion needs to be under the control of the royal family."

"Take control of the Wanshu Pavilion? I have thought about it." The emperor did not say anything else, but frowned slightly.

Shen Zhuo knew clearly what the emperor was concerned about, but he was actually quite confident in Wanshu Pavilion.

"Uncle, Chang'an thinks Wanshu Pavilion will not go to extremes."

"If the emperor's uncle is worried that he can't control the Wanshu Pavilion and can't achieve the desired effect, the emperor's uncle can cooperate with the Wanshu Pavilion, as long as he is fully aware of the actions and behaviors of the Wanshu Pavilion."

"Uncle Emperor can also wait and see for a while. If there is no unusual movement in the Wanshu Pavilion, it will not be too late for Uncle Emperor to decide how to deal with the Wanshu Pavilion."

"From what Chang'an said, do you also agree to cooperate with Wanshu Pavilion?"

After hearing the emperor's words, Shen Zhuo immediately understood that someone had proposed a plan to cooperate with Wanshu Pavilion.

"Yes, Chang'an believes that the existence of the Wanshu Pavilion has more advantages than disadvantages. As long as it is handled properly, it will only be beneficial to Dayan and the royal family."

Seeing this, the emperor did not ask any more questions, but fell into deep thought.

Shen Zhuo did not disturb him and sat quietly waiting.

After a long time, the emperor came to his senses and did not mention the matter again.

Instead, he said, "Chang'an, please stay and have dinner before returning home. It has been a long time since you have eaten with me."

Gu Jue had no idea what happened in the palace later.

When he returned to Xiyuan, Gu Jue vomited it out directly.

But Liu'er and the others were shocked.

"elder sister?"

"Boss?"

"What's going on? What happened?"

After listening to these caring words, Gu Jue was speechless.

He waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

When he felt better, he explained, "I'm fine. I just feel a little sick. I'm covered in dust. I'm going to take a shower first."
