long before Meng YueLu, Gu XingChen, Jiao family and Pan family started from Wencheng Marquis's Mansion, the Great Ming Palace has received the news. Empress Ma was very anxious. Meng YueLu has done such a absurd thing, he will be exiled and get divorced. She hurriedly went to Zichen Hall to confess her fault.
Emperor Zhou You originally did not want to get involved in mediating this matter, after all, a group of women chattering away is quite headache-inducing.
Unfortunately, Empress Ma is not capable of handling this matter. After pondering for a long time, Emperor Zhou You has no choice but to ask his wet nurse Guo Guo Consort to come and help.
So, Meng YueLu, Gu XingChen, Jiao family and Pan family entered the greenhouse in Zichen Hall. Empress Ma sat on the right side of Emperor Zhou You, while Guo Guo Consort sat on the left side of Emperor Zhou You, acting like a co-regent queen, looking quite ridiculous.
Of course, in her previous life, Meng YueLu would not have looked at Guo Guo Consort with disdain; she would have respected her.
It's just that her gold pillow and landscape screen were damaged in the Shicui Hall of Great Ming Palace, which made her suspicious of Guo Guo Consort.
"My Majesty, the wife of Wencheng Marquis is after all your mother-in-law, Yueluo's mother. It would be better to let her speak first." Although Guo Guo Consort is already in her forties, she still possesses an undiminished charm. Her sultry and singsong voice, with its touch of drama, made everything she said even more captivating.
After hearing this, Emperor Zhou You gently nodded and uttered a "very good."
In a situation with so many women, only women can open the game.
He, Emperor Zhou You, only needs to give the final verdict at the end.
However, Empress Ma meekly nodded and failed to break the deadlock, causing him to secretly sigh in frustration.
"Oh, Your Majesty, when Princess Dian'er slapped me, I still had some reservations about your approach to hospitality within the Meng family. Now it seems that you truly do not welcome Gu and I." Gu XingChen bowed and gestured respectfully to Emperor Zhou You before seeking out a Cauliflower Wood Lotus Pattern Inlaid with Marble Armrest Chair and sitting down with leisurely ease.
"Marquis Gu, please calm down." Emperor Zhou You apologized with a smile.
Only the head of the Gu family in Yizhou can dare to be so courteous to Zhou You!
Jiao family felt nervous and hesitated to accuse Gentle Empress Jiang of her actions.
"My Majesty, let me make a start. Your Gentle Empress Jiang is rather boring. I was merely borrowing her carriage when she gave me a slap." Gu XingChen pointed to the palm print on his cheek, his mouth curved into a smile, but his eyes were dark and enigmatic.
After finishing, Emperor Zhou You once again apologized with a smile, "Marquis Gu, it is my fault. I failed to teach my daughter properly."
Empress Ma was somewhat alert and quickly stood up to apologize to Gu XingChen.
"And have you considered the feelings of Dongfang Shixian as a man? He's as unresponsive as a dead fish, not even moving. How can any man enjoy himself?" Gu XingChen pursed his lips, his smile growing more mischievous.
"Gu XingChen!" Meng Yueluo pointed at Gu XingChen, her face turning red.
Damn, Gu XingChen is really shameless, he dared to discuss intimate matters in public.
"Gu Young Master, please be careful with your words." Emperor Zhou You furrowed his brows, crossing his arms, and though he wasn't angry, he had to look stern.
However, Emperor Zhou You agrees with Gu XingChen's words. After all, Empress Ma is as immovable as a dead fish. If it weren't for the sake of the children, Emperor Zhou You wouldn't want to enter Empress Ma's bedchamber at all.
Indeed, Empress Ma, in the face of Gu XingChen, clearly had her fists clenched in anger but was too afraid to speak up.
Emperor Zhou You was disappointed, while Meng Yueluo was utterly disappointed.
"Fortunately, Marquis Gu doesn't have to marry Gentle Empress Jiang. Otherwise, if he sleeps with her and gets married, it will be a big loss for him." Gu XingChen pretended to sigh and smiled lazily.
After hearing this, Meng Yueluo's back teeth ground together multiple times, itching to tear off Gu XingChen's repulsive mouth.
"Madam Wencheng Marquis, it's your turn to cry out for justice." Gu XingChen curled his lip in a smile, with a deep and meaningful look.
"Oh, Meng Yueluo understands now. Marquis Gu is trying to encourage Jiao family to point out Meng Yueluo's flaws."
