In the jiuchen hall, Empress Dowager Guo sat on the upper seat and looked coldly at the girl pressed on the ground.
"Who are you? Why seduce the emperor?"
Wen Ruyi stared in disbelief.
When she got up this morning, a group of maids suddenly broke into her house and brought her here.
"I, I don't know, I didn't..." she shook her head desperately to deny, and the whole person looked embarrassed and pathetic.
But empress dowager Guo was not moved and said coldly, "it seems that you won't recruit if you don't punish you. Come on, put on the stick!"
Soon, a palace maid took a splint.
Wen Ruyi widened her eyes and struggled, but she couldn't resist their strength. Soon, her fingers were put on the splint, and the maids on both sides pulled out.
"Ah --"
Wen Ruyi screamed, and beads of sweat, big as beans, fell from her forehead.
When Gu Heng came in, he saw such a scene.
"Stop!" he drank heavily, came forward and kicked several palace maids away, and then helped Wen Ruyi, who was lying on the ground with a pale face.
"Emperor, what are you doing?" Empress Dowager Guo was very angry.
"The minister wanted to ask the empress. What do you want to do?" Gu Heng looked up at her. "Liu'er is just a weak girl. She still has injuries and doesn't remember anything, but you tortured her?"
Empress Dowager Guo looked at him angrily.
"How dare you question the mourning family for such a bitch?"
Gu Heng heard the speech, pursed his lower lip and eased his tone, "the son minister just didn't want his mother to punish Liu Er indiscriminately. She was so innocent and pathetic..."
Empress Dowager Guo was so angry that her heart fluctuated and sneered, "I'm sorry to see that you were hooked by this fox."
Gu Heng looked at her in surprise. "Why is the mother's speech so ugly? Liu Er has a life-saving grace to her son, and the son took her back to the palace just to repay her kindness. How can you say that?"
"The grace of saving lives?" Empress Dowager Guo looked at him strangely. "As an emperor, how can you trust others so easily?"
Gu Heng said, "Uncle Huang also knows this. If you have any objection, you can ask Uncle Huang." he had to move out of Gu linchao.
Gu linchao?
Empress Dowager Guo was stunned. "What does this have to do with your uncle Huang?" but her tone eased a lot.
Gu Heng had to tell her about his assassination yesterday.
"... it was too late to go back to the Palace last night because my son didn't tell you. Xiao Duzi, who was close to my son, died in order to save my son. When my son ran all the way outside Wen Chuang Tzu, he fainted because he was seriously injured. Fortunately, Liu er saved him. Otherwise, my son may not be able to stand in front of my mother today."
Empress Dowager Guo was terrified and looked at Liu er's face, which was not so ugly.
She came down from her seat. "Fortunately, you have nothing to do this time. Don't be capricious next time. If you want to leave the palace, you have to tell the mourning family and your royal uncle to arrange good hands for you to leave the palace again."
Gu Heng felt disgusted when he heard the speech. "My son is no longer a child."
Empress Dowager Guo raised her face, "but you are the emperor. Your safety can't tolerate any difference."
Gu Heng was tired of hearing this, but at this time, he didn't want to argue with her anymore. He said, "my son knows. Liu Er is hurt, and my son takes her back to the house first." then he beat Wen Ruyi and picked her up.
