Yu Hongyan couldn't hold back any longer and immediately questioned Shen Qingyan.

"Empress Zhao, the Emperor is here now, are you still going to pretend to be innocent? Who is this man in your bed?!"

Shen Qingyan did not answer her, but turned to ask Gu Beihuai.

"Does the emperor believe me?"

Although Gu Beihuai was angry in his heart, he still appeared to be very cooperative.

"Of course I believe it."

Shen Qingyan curled her lips and smiled, then looked at Yu Hongyan.

Even though she didn't say anything, Yu Hongyan felt that this was a great provocation.

It’s as if he’s saying that the emperor trusts me, so what do you think?

Yu Hongyan was furious. She was unwilling to let it go like this and she never expected that Gu Beihuai could be so stupid!

So she immediately knelt on the ground and begged.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao's shameless behavior is unforgivable. As a role model for the harem, if she acts so willfully, wouldn't all the women in the world be in chaos?"

"I beg Your Majesty to see the true face of that man and punish them severely to serve as a warning to others!"

Yu Hongyan spoke so passionately that she even wished she could lift the quilt herself.

At this moment, Gu Wenyu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, I also think we should see what the person who dared to cheat on you looks like. Maybe it's someone we both know."

Hearing this, Qiu Ying in bed froze obviously, her heart gritting with anger.

Gu Wenyu, you are really great.

Yu Hongyan didn't expect that Gu Wenyu actually had the same idea as her, and she instantly felt more confident.

And from Gu Wenyu's tone, it seemed like she knew something. If it was really someone she knew... she would like to see who it is!

So she gave a look and the eunuch behind her stepped forward and directly lifted the brocade quilt.

Qiu Ying's first reaction was to cover her face, but it was obvious that this was an attempt to cover up her own fault.

Everyone around gasped.

Gu Beihuai's face was calm, and he didn't show any surprise on his face.

Gu Wenyu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he gritted his teeth as if he wanted to severely punish Qiu Ying on the bed.

The most shocked person was Yu Hongyan.

She took two steps back, muttering to herself.

"This, how is this possible?"

Shen Qingyan was clearly having a secret meeting with a man, so how did she become Princess Yu?

Gu Beihuai came to the bed and directly picked up Shen Qingyan, wrapped in a quilt, and carried her horizontally.

"Have you had enough fun? Can you go back with me?"

Shen Qingyan felt a little embarrassed, so she simply buried her head in his arms and spoke in a muffled voice.

"I was just talking to the Imperial Aunt."

"Are you talking back?"

Shen Qingyan clearly sensed the danger in his words, and immediately shrank into silence.

Seeing this, Yu Hongyan was unwilling to give up and immediately chased after him.

"Your Majesty, please investigate Concubine Zhao thoroughly. I saw with my own eyes that she was having an affair with a fat man..."

Before she could finish her words, she stopped abruptly.

Big belly...

She looked at Qiu Ying's belly.

Then he remembered the disappearance of Princess Yu, and put the whole thing together, and he immediately understood.

It turns out that from the beginning to the end, the man who had a secret meeting with Shen Qingyan was not a wild man at all, but Qiu Ying!

There was a loud bang in Yu Hongyan's mind, as if the sky was falling.

She suddenly looked at Shen Qingyan, the fire of anger in her eyes about to erupt.

"you do this delibrately!"

Shen Qingyan poked her head out and said innocently, "What does Concubine Yan mean by that? How come I don't understand? But I still want to thank you for bringing the emperor and the prince to catch the adulterer, otherwise it would be bad if the emperor really misunderstood me."

Yu Hongyan was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.

As it turned out, she not only underestimated Shen Qingyan, but also overestimated herself.

Gu Beihuai didn't even look at her and gave instructions to Su Peichang.

"Noble Lady Yan deliberately slandered Concubine Zhao, which damaged her reputation and affected her and Princess Yu's pregnancy. Her crime is unforgivable. She shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and demoted to a concubine."

Boom!

Yu Hongyan's world fell even more violently.

At this point, she finally realized how stupid she had been.

Not only did he fail to steal the chicken and end up losing the rice, but his position also declined instead of rising.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am only thinking about your reputation!"

Gu Beihuai held Shen Qingyan in his arms without stopping.

Yu Hongyan was dragged by two guards and continued to shout.

"Your Majesty, I was also blinded by the words of that little eunuch. I am innocent!"

The guard was quite considerate and immediately found a rag to cover her mouth and dragged her away.

Everyone had left and the room became much quieter.

Qiu Ying faced the inside of the bed and didn't even bother to look at Wen Yu.

After finding Qiu Ying and seeing that she was safe and sound, Gu Wenyu finally let go of his worries.

I'm still a little angry, but the most important thing is to coax the person back to his place first.

"A Ying."

He called softly.

Qiu Ying simply ignored him.

Gu Wenyu did not give up. He sat down on the edge of the bed and gently touched Qiu Ying's shoulder with his fingers.

"Aying, can you please forgive me?"

Qiu Ying moved her body further into the bed and snorted coldly, "Don't touch me!"

Gu Wenyu's body stiffened slightly, and his tone was full of loss and sadness.

"Aying, I know you are still angry with me and don't want to see me, but you are my wife and I must be responsible for you to the end."

"You are not feeling well. It's not safe to stay here. Can you come home with me?"

Qiu Ying still ignored him.

Gu Wenyu had no choice but to use his trump card.

He took off his shoes, got on the bed, and lay down next to Qiu Ying.

"Since Ah Ying refuses to forgive me and doesn't want to go back with me, then I'll stay here until you forgive me."

Noticing that the person behind him was getting closer and closer, Qiu Ying could no longer bear it. He turned around and swung his fist.

"Ow!"

The screams coming from the room were comparable to the screams of Yu Hongyan who was being beaten with a stick.

*

It was already late at night when we returned to the main hall of Zhaohua Palace.

After tossing and turning all night, Shen Qingyan was already extremely sleepy.

Gu Beihuai put the person on the bed, sighed softly, covered Shen Qingyan with the quilt and tucked in the corners, and then gave instructions to Qingmei and others before leaving with peace of mind.

Su Peichang followed behind him happily and asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty, where are you staying tonight?"

This sounds like he has many options for where to stay.

"The Yangxin Palace."

"Yes."

Su Peichang hurriedly asked people to prepare hot water for Gu Beihuai to take a bath and go to bed.

Not long after, Yu Hongyan completed her punishment.

Then he was roughly carried back to Yunlian Palace.

Shunan was the first to rush up.

"Noble man!"

The eunuch who came to deliver the message said with a cold and arrogant look on his face.

"Yan Changzai is no longer a noble lady. The number of servants in your palace will be reduced by half, as will the cost of food, clothing, and other expenses. You, you, and you, all of you, follow me."

One of the people he was referring to happened to be Gu Chenan.
