It had only been a few days, and Gu Junheng's injuries hadn't even healed yet.

Has the emperor already prepared to make room for Xu Huaian?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Imperial Guard was handed over to me due to special circumstances. Now it is normal to find someone else to take charge of the Imperial Guard. However, this person cannot be Xu Huaian."

Gu Junheng's straightforward refusal was something that even the emperor did not expect.

Lin Jinglan also lowered her eyes on the side. Xu Huaian seemed to be entering the court from here.

"Why can't it be Xu Huaian? Not to mention that he saved my life and protected me, and he is also a man of extraordinary ability and martial arts. He is more than enough to be the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard."

The emperor's tone was a little unhappy.

Could it be that in Gu Junheng's eyes, his own life was not as important as that of a deputy commander of the Imperial Guard?

It's just that Gu Junheng didn't guess his subtle thoughts.

"The Imperial Guard is the emperor's personal army. They protect the safety of the imperial city and have a heavy responsibility. Even a small captain needs to choose carefully, let alone a deputy commander. If your majesty wants to repay his kindness, why not reward Xu Huaian? Something else would be nice.”

In Gu Junheng's opinion, Xu Huaian was not a good person. If possible, he would definitely want to kill Xu Huaian.

It's just that the situation is very different from before. Xu Huaian is also protected by many experts. It is very difficult to kill him at this time.

"Your Majesty, what Jun Heng said is not unreasonable. It's better to take a long-term approach."

The queen saw that there was a stalemate between the two, so she smiled and interrupted the stalemate.

"Queen, you have exceeded the rules. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Have you forgotten?"

When the emperor was angry because of Gu Junheng's opposition, he naturally directed his anger at the queen.

The queen was startled and looked embarrassed. Was she scolding herself?

The rest of the people in the hall also raised their heads, but no one dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, pay attention to your words. The Queen is your first wife. When you first ascended the throne, the Queen helped you a lot with many matters. Why didn't you say that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

But Gu Junheng looked directly at the emperor and spoke without hesitation.

With his face as heavy as water, he took two steps forward and protected the queen.

"You, you, how dare you speak to me like this?"

The emperor was angered by Gu Junheng's attitude.

Since he ascended the throne as emperor, no one in the entire Chu State dared to go against him.

But at this time, he just scolded the queen, and Gu Junheng was so eager to stand in front of her and speak rudely to him. He was really bold.

Does he still have himself in his eyes?

"Your Majesty also knows that I have been so arrogant this time. Your Majesty can punish you however you want, but I hope your Majesty will not forget that the queen is your first wife. You don't have to love her, but you must give her enough respect. .”

After saying this, Gu Junheng took Lin Jinglan's hand and left, ignoring the angry emperor and the shocked everyone.

After pulling Lin Jinglan for a long distance, his pace slowed down.

"Junheng, if you just leave like this, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?"

Lin Jinglan was a little curious. She knew that Gu Junheng was arrogant, but she didn't expect that Gu Junheng would be so arrogant that even the emperor would dare to choke him.

"He won't."

Gu Junheng's affirmative answer made Lin Jinglan slightly surprised. Is there any secret behind this?

But Gu Junheng didn't say anything, and she didn't ask.

"Then the queen's side"

Speaking of which, the emperor is angry at this time, but the queen is still there. Will he put his anger on the queen at this time?

"Hmph, when I said that, he should have known that the queen is the queen of a country after all, and he must give her the dignity and dignity she deserves, because the queen is never alone."

Lin Jinglan understood this.

The queen has a prince, and she has a maternal clan that assists the prince, and King Jin is obviously on the prince's side.

What's more important is that the Queen's virtuous virtues have spread throughout the world, and the Prince is calm and restrained, and has surrendered to both the government and the public. Their status is stable and cannot be more stable.

As long as you are not a fool, you will not look for trouble with the queen.

"You seem to be very kind to the queen."

Almost like Princess Jin, Gu Junheng is also relaxed and wanton in front of the queen, and when the queen encounters something, Gu Junheng will not hesitate to stand in front of the queen, even if this person is the emperor.

"I almost grew up in the palace when I was a child. The queen has always taken care of me and the prince."

So their relationship is very deep, which is understandable.

"I didn't know that such a thing happened when I came to the palace today."

When Gu Junheng said this, he couldn't help but sneer.

The emperor actually used Jinglan to force himself to submit. Didn't he understand himself? I still forgot what kind of person I am.

"Then let's go back first."

Lin Jinglan nodded. She was sorry that Chaoyang lost her child, but this matter had little to do with her. She could only say that everything was a coincidence.

"Jinglan, Jinglan"

But just as they were about to leave, a slightly urgent voice suddenly sounded behind them.

Turning around, he saw Chaoyang holding up the hem of her skirt and walking quickly, followed closely by a group of palace maids, calling the empress to slow down.

"I have met the imperial concubine."

When Chaoyang stopped in front of them, Lin Jinglan saluted according to etiquette, but was pulled back by Chaoyang.

"No need to be polite, Jinglan, I'm here to tell you that what happened on the polo field has nothing to do with you, and what happened to the child has nothing to do with you. It's all my fault for not paying attention, and I have no connection with this child. .”

Chaoyang smiled softly, grabbed Lin Jinglan's hand, and said sincerely.

"Thank you for your consideration, and please take care of yourself. You should return to the palace at this time, practice well, and take good care of your body."

Lin Jinglan meant what she said. After a miscarriage, shouldn't it be time to take a good rest?

"Jinglan, thank you for your understanding. Don't worry, I will try to persuade Your Majesty later. I will definitely not make him and the Queen angry, nor will I be angry with Prince Jun again."

Chaoyang's smile was bright and bright, and her beauty was unparalleled, but looking in Lin Jinglan's eyes, she always felt different.

After a few casual words, Chaoyang left, seemingly in a good mood.

Watching her leave, Lin Jinglan suddenly turned her head and approached Gu Junheng, and asked in a low voice:

"Jun Heng, have you ever felt that since Princess Chaoyang entered the palace and won His Majesty's favor, His Majesty's state of mind seems to have changed a bit."
