Gu Ling Chao has not yet spoken, but on the side, Si Yi can not hold it back and said: “She lies, in the evening, when she went out from the study, I clearly saw her talking with Mei Yan for a while.
Not long after that, Mei Yan went into the Master’s bed room, according to me, this matter, certainly with the Wang Fei can not be unconnected.”

Wang Hou De couldn’t help but say, “Si Yi, do you have any prejudice against the Princess Consort? Even if Her Highness spoke with Mei Yan for a while, it doesn’t mean that she had something to do with this matter at night.”

Si Yi was unhappy, “This has nothing to do with prejudice, I just reported what I saw to the Master.”

This dead eunuch, is he not cleanly castrate.
Unexpectedly he was bewitched by Wen Qi Qi, and is biased towards her.

“If you are not biased against Her Highness, I will rip my head off and give you a ball to kick.” Wang Hou De said defiantly.

Si Yi sneered, “You can rip it off now.”

“Are you two too idle?” Gu Lin Chao raised his eyes and faintly swept a glance at the two.

The two were hastily silenced and hung their heads.

Gu Lin Chao raised his hand and rubbed his brow, and said in a deep voice: “All go down.”

“Yes.” The two people respectfully answered and withdrew from the door.

When Wang Hou De smoothly closed the door, he looked in helplessly.

The Master has always had a cleanliness fetish.
That Mei Yan sneaked into the Master’s bedchamber, and even lay on the Master’s bed.
The Master disliked it, and not only ordered Mei Yan to be beaten with a cane, but also moved to the side room.

This time, the bedroom is still being cleaned, and the bed is also not wanted by the Master.

Alas, what a sin.

That Mei Yan is also a fool.

If the Master had liked her, would he have waited until now?

He sighed and looked up, but saw a black-faced Si Yi.

“What are you looking at me like that for?” He said with his arms crossed, bluffing.

Si Yi sneered, “I want to beat you up!” With that, he swung his fist over.

Wang Hou De was startled, ducked his head and shouted, “Brat, are you for real?”

In response, Si Yi’s moves were more severe than the other.

Wang Hou De was not willing to show weakness, the dust in his hand, turned into a sharp weapon, attacked Si Yi.

The two were entangled in a fight.

The following evening.

The Grand Empress Dowager sent Mama Zeng out of the palace.

When Wen Qi Qi was invited to the front hall, she realized that Gu Lin Chao was also there.

She went up and bowed to Gu Lin Chao, and then took a seat next to him.

Mama Zeng looked at the two of them with a smile and finally said the reason for her visit.

“Your Majesty, Your Highness, this tonic soup is made from the herbs that the Grand Empress Dowager specially asked the Imperial Doctor to prepare for you two, so you two should hurry up and drink it while it’s hot.”

Only then did Wen Qi Qi notice that there was a soup container resting on the table next to her.

After Mama Zeng finished speaking, she personally took the bowl, scooped up two bowls full of soup and brought them to the two of them.

Wen Qi Qi’s heart was puzzled, but thinking that the Grand Empress Dowager could not have harmed even Gu Lin Chao, she took the bowls and prepared to drink.

However, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Lin Chao sitting there calmly, not even touching the bowl of soup.

She froze and couldn’t help but look at him sideways, “Why isn’t Your Majesty drinking?”

“Yes, Your Majesty should drink it while it’s hot, so that the medicine will be effective.” Mama Zeng also advised.

Gu Lin Chao lightly glanced at her.

Mama Zeng’s heart jumped and she lowered her eyes somewhat sheepishly.

Wen Qi Qi thought it was strange when she saw Gu Lin Chao’s gaze suddenly fall on her own face.

But a moment later, he looked away again, picked up the bowl and drank it all.

When Wen Qi Qi saw this, she put her heart down and also drank the soup.
