Since the Queen has summoned me, I naturally have to see her, unless I rebel now.

Moreover, the maids who came from the palace had a clear purpose and were obviously prepared for all kinds of emergencies. They did not give her any excuses to shirk her responsibilities. Even when she used the excuse of changing clothes, they still stood outside the door waiting for her without any concern.

Afraid she would run away!

Gu Huanxi made a decision quickly. Since the matter was unavoidable, she would just face it head-on. After all, she had the RV with her. It was hard to say whether she could escape unscathed, but there was no problem keeping her life.

Time was running out and she had no time to discuss with Xu Huaiyi. She just wrote a note and put it in the car. She gave Wei Ci a few instructions and then got on the carriage and went into the palace.

If it were in the past, she would have to struggle, but now, there is not much to worry about, because Xu Huaiyi is in the capital, waiting for the opportunity.

Now, the opportunity has come.

Sure enough, she entered the palace and met the queen. After the two chatted awkwardly for a few minutes, the queen found an excuse to keep her.

How could a female member of the family stay in the palace at will? In order to put her under house arrest, the queen didn't care about anything else, and her excuses were perfunctory, which sounded like excuses. However, due to their noble status, not everyone could refuse.

Unless you turn against me immediately.

The Queen was certain that Gu Huanxi would not turn against her, so she dared to take such a desperate measure. Of course, she was not afraid if Gu Huanxi turned against her. She would even be happier to have a reasonable excuse to take her down so that she could take control of Xu Huaiyi.

Everyone in the capital knows that Xu Huaiyi loves his wife very much, and his biggest weakness is Gu Huanxi. Capturing Gu Huanxi is equivalent to holding Xu Huaiyi firmly in his hands, and no matter how capable he is, he will find it difficult to display his abilities.

In this way, her and her father's plan can proceed smoothly without having to worry about Xu Huaiyi jumping out to sabotage it.

Once the plan succeeds, neither Gu Huanxi nor Xu Huaiyi will be afraid.

Gu Huanxi had also thought of this, which was why she went along with the situation. Of course, in order not to leave any handle and arouse suspicion, she had to make a complex expression of grief, anger, reluctance, helplessness, and panic. In order to make it look more realistic, she pinched her thigh ruthlessly and successfully forced out tears.

In this way, she was locked up in a side hall. The palace maid who was guarding her was sure that she could not escape, so she did not keep a close eye on her. Seeing that she was busy wiping her tears, she went outside with her companions to eat, drink and chat with disdain.

When she was the only one in the room, Gu Huanxi's expression changed instantly. She wiped her tears, exhaled, and slipped into the RV.

In the car, Xu Huaiyi had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When he saw her appear, he rushed over immediately, looked her up and down, and asked with worry in his eyes, "Have you been bullied? Have you been wronged? How did you come to the palace? The queen has bad intentions, you know it, why did you jump in as she wished? The palace is a den of dragons and tigers..."

Gu Huanxi interrupted him and said helplessly, "I'm fine, I'm not stupid, why did I enter the palace, wasn't it clearly written on the note?

Firstly, it was hard to refuse, and secondly, I guessed what she was going to do. It was like someone offering me a pillow when I was sleepy. Why shouldn’t I accept it?

As it turned out, I won the bet. ”

After listening to her, Xu Huaiyi still looked disapproving, "It's too risky. You don't have to do this. It won't be long before Emperor Yongping and Commander Xiao lose their patience and take action. Why would you need to take action?"

Gu Huanxi said, "With me being forced to stay in the palace today, we can better expose the ambitions of the Queen and Commander Xiao. These are all evidences. In the future, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they will be criticized by the whole court. Of course, with you here, they will not be able to achieve anything..."

"young married woman……"

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about. I have the RV here. No matter how bad things get, I can still save my life. Don't worry, I know my own strength and I won't confront the queen face to face. She won't abuse me either. Her purpose is very simple. She just wants to use me to force you. You are the dangerous one. I have only played the role of a tool from beginning to end.

Besides, I'm already here, so it's useless for you to say more..."

Xu Huaiyi looked at her depressedly, "Then don't go out. Wait until I enter the palace and clear all obstacles, then you can go out."

There is food and drinks in the car, so you can live a worry-free life even if you never go out.

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, but seeing that he was about to have an anxiety attack, she stopped arguing with him and changed the subject, "I've told Wei Ci about everything at home. You can also pass a message in. No one should act rashly. After taking Ah Li and Zhuang Zhuang home, let them hide in the RV and tell others that they are in a secret room. This way, they won't show up and the maids and servants at home won't get suspicious."

Xu Huaiyi nodded. "We really have to be on guard against Emperor Yongping and Commander Xiao who might do something desperate. It's not enough to control you, but they'll attack the children. Don't worry, I've arranged people to keep an eye on them, and there should be news soon..."

After hearing what he said, Gu Huanxi finally relaxed completely. She even had the mood to go into the kitchen and prepare something delicious for lunch. She would probably have to stay in the car with the children for several days, so she had to eat and drink well, right?

Not long after, the two children came in. They didn't seem to be at all panicked about their current situation. They looked calm and composed, as if they had to make the best of it. Gu Huanxi's words of comfort were of no use.

The family was eating and drinking happily in the car, but outside, the situation was tense and tense. As Gu Huanxi had not left the palace for a long time, all the civil and military officials in the court smelled the danger that was about to break out.

As soon as it gets dark, every household closes their doors and windows, and all the guards go out and patrol the place non-stop to be prepared for any emergency.

That's right, they were keenly aware that chaos was coming, so they played it safe.

During this period, Gu Huanxi went out twice, and both times someone brought her food. The queen kept her under house arrest, but she did not treat her harshly with food. She arranged a rich meal with both meat and vegetables. However, she was afraid that it might be poisonous, so she poured it all down the toilet.

In the evening, Xu Huaiyi entered the RV again, with a not very good expression on his face.

Seeing this, Gu Huanxi hurriedly sat up from the bed and asked, "What happened?"

The two children also looked over worriedly.

In front of the child, Xu Huaiyi suppressed his emotions and said as calmly as possible, "Xiaoyu was very angry when she knew you were kept in the palace. She went to see the queen but was rejected, so she went to see Emperor Yongping..."

Before he could finish, Gu Huanxi asked anxiously, "Didn't you tell him that I deliberately cooperated with the Queen and let the Xiao family take the next step?"

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "How can I not tell you? I have already passed on the news, but we have discussed that in order to make the play more realistic, he still has to act like this in front of others, otherwise he will not be able to fool Commander Xiao. They have already found out the relationship between Xiaoyu and our family. If something happens to you, is it normal for Xiaoyu not to react?

You have to act the whole part..."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why do you look unhappy? Is it not going well?"

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "It went smoothly, but the result was too chilling. Xiaoyu met Emperor Yongping and accused the Queen of keeping you, which was against the rules and would damage your reputation, but Emperor Yongping played dumb and perfunctorily answered. Xiaoyu questioned him, is this how you treat the families of meritorious officials? He was so angry that he said that if the monarch wants the subject to die, the subject must die. Ha, his true colors have finally been revealed..."
