In the Jiuchen Hall, Queen Mother Guo sat on the upper seat, looking coldly at the girl who was pushed to the ground.
"Say, who are you? Why do you want to seduce the emperor?"
Wen Ruyi's eyes widened in disbelief.
She just woke up this morning, when a group of maids suddenly broke into her room and brought her here.
"I, I don't know, I didn't..." She desperately shook her head in denial, looking embarrassed and pitiful.
But Empress Dowager Guo was unmoved, and said coldly: "It seems that if you are not tortured, you will not be able to recruit. Come here, and put on a stick!"
Soon, a court lady came over with a stick.
Wen Ruyi's eyes widened and she struggled desperately, but she was no match for their strength. After a while, her fingers were caught on the stick, and the maids on both sides pulled it out forcefully.
"what-"
Wen Ruyi screamed, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
When Gu Heng came in, he saw such a scene.
"Stop!" He snarled, stepped forward and kicked the maids away, and then helped Wen Ruyi who had fallen to the ground with a pale face.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Queen Mother Guo was furious.
"I just want to ask my mother, what do you want to do?" Gu Heng looked up at her, "Liu'er is just a weak girl, she still has injuries and doesn't remember anything, yet you tortured her? "
Queen Mother Guo looked at him angrily.
"You actually questioned Ai's family for such a lowly maid?"
Hearing this, Gu Heng pursed his lower lip, and softened his tone, "I just don't want my mother to torture Liu'er indiscriminately. She is so innocent, so pitiful..."
Empress Dowager Guo was so angry that her heart heaved and she sneered, "Ai Jia sees that you have been seduced by this vixen."
Gu Heng looked at her in surprise, "Why is it so ugly when the queen mother speaks? Liu'er saved my son's life, and the son brought her back to the palace just to repay her kindness. How can you say that? if?"
"The grace of saving your life?" Queen Mother Guo looked at him incredulously, "As the emperor, how can you trust others so easily?"
Gu Heng said: "Uncle Huang also knows about this matter, if you have any objections, you can ask Uncle Huang." As a last resort, he had no choice but to move out of Gu Linchao.
Gu Linchao
Empress Dowager Guo was stunned for a moment, "What does this have to do with your uncle?" Her tone softened a lot.
Gu Heng had no choice but to tell her about the assassination yesterday.
"... It was too late to go back to the palace last night, so I didn't tell you. The little Du Zi who was next to me died trying to save him. It was too heavy and passed out, but fortunately Liu'er was rescued, otherwise the minister might not be able to stand in front of the queen alive today."
Empress Dowager Guo was terrified when she heard this, and when she looked at Liu Er, her expression was not so ugly.
She got down from her seat, "Fortunately, you are fine this time. Don't be self-willed next time. If you want to go out of the palace, you have to tell Aijia and your uncle, let your uncle arrange the manpower, and then you go out of the palace." .”
When Gu Heng heard this, he felt disgusted in his heart, "My son is no longer a child."
Empress Dowager Guo put on a straight face, "But you are the emperor, and your safety cannot be tolerated."
Gu Heng was already tired of hearing these words, but at this moment, he didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he said: "I know. Liu'er is injured, so I will take her back to the house first." He hugged Wen Ruyi horizontally.
