Chapter 447 Xie Qingzhi has other intentions
"How can this be possible? If the Queen doesn't go in person, it won't be enough to scare them." Xie Qingzhi said seriously.
Hearing this, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but frown.
[Tongzi, does Xie Qingzhi have other motives?]
It's no wonder he's so cautious. Ever since she became pregnant, there have always been people who want to harm the baby in her belly.
Although Xie Qingzhi has no vested interests with others, there is no guarantee that she will not be bribed to harm her child.
The most important thing is that Xie Qingzhi's advice made her a little suspicious.
This matter really does not require her to be the one. Xie Qingzhi's status as a princess, plus the Imperial City Division or the Dali Temple Minister, is enough to intimidate the Shangshu family, especially the Imperial City Division. The ministers in the court are very afraid of the Imperial City Division, and their fear of the Imperial City Division may be far greater than her power.
But Xie Qingzhi just wasn't happy about it and kept dwelling on the matter, which made it hard not to suspect his motive.
It snowed heavily last night, the roads were slippery, and there was snow everywhere. It would be easy to set up an accident. All we had to do was lure her out of the palace.
Xie Qingzhi felt dizzy immediately when she heard Gu Jianchu's voice. She was very sincere, okay? She didn't know what she said that made the Queen misunderstand her like that.
Does she look like someone who would harm the Queen?
She knew Xie Ci'an's temper. She was living a happy life now and didn't want to die.
Xie Qingzhi completely forgot that she couldn't let Gu Jianchu know that she could eavesdrop on her thoughts, and hurriedly explained, "The Queen, please don't misunderstand me. I have no other intentions, and I don't want to harm you. I'm really afraid that I can't handle these things well, so I want you to leave the palace with me. As for the Dali Temple and the Imperial City Bureau, they may not be able to handle these things well. They are outsiders, and the Shangshu Mansion may use the excuse of being outsiders to prevent them from entering. But it's different for the Queen. Naturally, they dare not stop them."
Gu Jianchu originally had only a little doubt about Xie Qingzhi, but after hearing Xie Qingzhi's explanation, he became more certain of his doubts.
This is totally a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt.
Xie Qingzhi had no idea how harmful his explanation of this sentence was.
Xie Qingzhi looked at Gu Jianchu's face full of disbelief and lowered her head silently. She decided to let the Queen decide based on her inner feelings. She was speechless now. It seemed that the more she explained, the less Gu Jianchu believed her. It was better for her not to explain.
The mechanical sound of the system soon rang in Gu Jianchu's mind.
[No other intentions were detected for Xie Qingzhi.]
But Xie Qingzhi's words clearly had other purposes.
Gu Jianchu didn't quite believe it.
[You never intended to trick me out of the palace to harm me.]
Hearing this, Xie Qingzhi was so frightened that her eyes widened and she shook her head repeatedly. It was impossible, absolutely impossible. She was so bold that she dared to trick her out and harm her.
[No, I haven't detected it. If Xie Qingzhi wants to harm you, I will give you a warning in advance. After all, this concerns your life, the host, and my own survival. There will be absolutely no mistakes, so don't worry, dear.]
If she had no other motives, nor did she intend to trick me out and harm me, then why did she so eagerly want me to leave the palace?
The system was speechless for a moment. The host was now being too cautious and had instead complicated some simple issues.
[Is it possible that Xie Qingzhi really didn't have any other thoughts, and she just couldn't handle this matter well, so she asked for help.]
[Then everything Xie Qingzhi said was true.]
After hearing Gu Jianchu's heartfelt words, Xie Qingzhi finally felt relieved.
She was finally cleared of all charges, but she had thought that her innocence could never be vindicated.
Xie Qingzhi didn't dare to say much now, for fear of making more mistakes. She just stayed at home and waited for Gu Jianchu's reply. She was so sincere, Gu Jianchu should not misunderstand her. Since he didn't misunderstand her, he could always help deal with this matter first.
Seeing that Gu Jianchu had remained silent, Xie Qingzhi couldn't help but ask, "What does the Queen think of this proposal of mine?"
Forget it, the mess in the Shangshu Mansion still needs to be cleaned up.
She couldn't stand this kind of trash bullying the weak.
"Zhuxi, go and make preparations. I will leave the palace with ***. Also, you send someone to inform the emperor and ask him to send people from the Imperial City Bureau to leave the palace with us." Gu Jianchu knew that Xie Ci'an would never allow her to leave the palace. She could only ask for the second best to have people from the Imperial City Bureau follow her. With people from the Imperial City Bureau following her, the emperor would feel more at ease.
Since Gu Jianchu had made up his mind, Zhuxi knew that it was useless to persuade him any further, so he simply ordered his men to do their best to prepare everything properly and be careful not to let any accidents happen.
Xie Ci'an was indeed worried when he heard the news, but he did not stop her. He could not stop the queen from doing anything just because she was pregnant. However, he assigned Chongfeng, Wenzhu, Shuangjiang and others around him to Gu Jianchu, and asked Wenzhu to specially select a team of elites under his command to accompany the queen and protect her safety.
Gu Jianchu didn't object. This way, she could feel at ease, and the emperor could also feel at ease.
The carriage prepared by Zhuxi was covered with a thick blanket and a charcoal brazier. On the square table was a small stove for boiling tea, and on the table were pastries freshly made from the kitchenette.
The Imperial City Officers led the way in front of the carriage, the Imperial Guards followed behind, and eunuchs and palace maids followed on both sides. It was obvious that it was a palace carriage, and the people and carriages passing by all gave way.
Although the city guards cleaned up in time, the snow was too heavy and too deep, making it difficult to clean up, so the city guards only cleared the main roads, and many unimportant paths were not cleared yet.
Although the Shangshu Mansion was poor, in order to show off its reputation, it bought a house in a good location, close to several Shangshus and even Xie Qingrou's residence. The city guards would naturally clear the path for the officials to take, so there was not much snow along the way for Gu Jianchu's carriage.
Fearing that the road was slippery, the coachman dared not drive the cart too fast and could only go slowly.
Gu Jianchu and Xie Qingzhi have not arrived yet, but the Shangshu Mansion is bustling with activity.
Because the emperor ordered *** to handle the divorce between the two families, Pingxibo brought his wife, daughter and a group of servants to the Shangshu Mansion early in the morning. The Shangshu Mansion was really not a place where reason would prevail, and Pingxibo was afraid that he would be bullied if he brought too few people, so he brought a lot of people.
In addition, the purpose of bringing so many servants here is to prepare the dowry.
We must not leave even a single cent for this overly bullying Shangshu Mansion.
Prince Pingxi would come to support his sister after finishing his work.
If the *** would come, then the emperor and the empress would certainly send someone over, so the two families did not ask the neighbors and elders to come and testify and help.
