Empress Dowager Zhuang said with a sorrowful face, "Aijia has met that child Ming’er. Although he is a bit arrogant, he’s not a bad-hearted person. Aijia has no proof, but Aijia thinks they might have wanted to slip the drug in Ming’er’s medicine when they snuck to the Supreme Commander Estate last night. They seem to be adept at slipping drugs, so Aijia thought, could Ming’er have also been drugged before? It was also to find out about Ming’er’s situation that Aijia found his personal servant."

This speculation was simply a bunch of sunshine after a bolt of lightning.

When a person was pushed into a quagmire, he didn’t have to go back to the original attic; just pull him back to the ground and he will gratefully accept the situation.

Tang Yueshan, like grasping a life-saving straw, refused to fall into the quagmire again, "Is it the drug? Is it? It must be the drug... That's right! It must be it! How could such a good child such as Ming’er do such a thing? It was because he was drugged!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang continued to fool people, "Aijia had someone take Commandant Gu's water bag this morning and found that his water was also tampered with the same drug."

Tang Yueshan looked stunned.

Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed, "Alas, Commandant Gu has the heart to kill Ming’er, but Commandant Gu is not stupid enough to do it in public. After all, it's just a stepbrother, not a full sibling. How can he sacrifice so much for him?"

Tang Yueshan thought what the Empress Dowager said was very reasonable!

He asked hesitantly, "So he… was drugged too?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at him faintly, "That's right."

Gu Changqing and Tang Ming were set up at the same time. If Tang Yueshan wanted to believe in one, he must also believe in the other.

Would Tang Yueshan believe it?

The answer was yes.

He would rather accept that Gu Changqing wasn’t the real culprit than suspect that his own son was a pervert.

At this point, all Tang Ming's hatred for Gu Changqing was gone. He only detested the person behind all of this!

He said furiously, "Who is it? Who is sowing discord between the Supreme Commander Estate and Marquis Ding'an Estate?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang pinched her actually painless glabella and sighed, "Aijia didn't have a clue either. Last night, Aijia killed those people so fast that Aijia didn't even have time to interrogate them. This can be blamed on you as well. Aijia simply didn’t know what was going on. If Eunuch Qin hadn't found these things while digging a hole to bury the corpses, Aijia couldn't even find these present clues!"

Tang Yueshan also felt regret at the moment. That’s right, why didn't he tell Empress Dowager more? Empress Dowager found so many clues with only two corpses. If he had persuaded Empress Dowager to leave them alive, wouldn't they have already found out who was behind this?

What did it mean by being sold and counting the money for others? This was it.

Seeing that she had deceived him enough, Empress Dowager Zhuang intended to stop after another word or two, "All right, Aijia has said everything that should be said. You can do whatever you want. If you really want to kill Commandant Gu, Aijia won't stop you. Anyhow, he was also the Emperor's person and it's not a pity to kill him."

It truly wasn’t a pity, but... doing so would be playing into the hands of those behind the scenes, and Tang Yueshan wouldn’t be able to stand this grievance!

How could he let the other party get away with it after doing this to Ming’er?

Was he stupid?

Haha, not only would he not kill Gu Changqing, but he would also promote Gu Changqing when these events were over!

He wanted to show the people behind the scenes that he, Tang Yueshan, wasn’t a fool! [T/N: Lol]

……

Old Marquis stayed awake all night after the news about Gu Changqing’s execution came out.

He waited anxiously until dawn. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast before he rushed to the palace to seek an audience with the Emperor.

The Emperor was also aware of the reason for his visit.

The Emperor himself was extremely depressed.

If this kind of thing had happened elsewhere, he might still have a way, but it had to happen in the military camp.

Neither the Emperor nor the Empress Dowager were allowed to interfere with the strict military regulations of the military camp.

Tang Yueshan convicted Gu Changqing not for cutting off Tang Ming's arm, but for the fact that he escaped from prison in the middle of the night and became a deserter.

This was a capital crime, regardless of one’s rank.

Not to mention that he killed two innocent soldiers.

"Your Majesty! My grandson is wrongly accused! There must be more to this matter than meets the eye!”

Gu Changqing didn't say a word to Old Marquis. Therefore, Old Marquis didn't know that an assassin had been there, nor that Gu Changqing had gone to visit Gu Yan.

But Old Marquis believed that Gu Changqing would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor would he be a deserter.

The Emperor let out a sigh, "Why wouldn’t Zhen want to save him? It’s just that all the evidence is against him, and he himself admitted to it. "

That was the key. Gu Changqing himself admitted to breaking out of prison.

Even if he was the Emperor, he couldn’t do any reckless move!

The Emperor gritted his teeth, "If there’s really no other choice, Zhen… will send the Death Warriors to snatch him away from the execution ground!"

Only, Gu Changqing could no longer live in the sun in this way.

He wouldn’t be able to inherit the Marquis Ding’an Estate anymore.

What was the difference between this and killing a person?

Old Marquis slumped to the ground.

Just then, Eunuch Wei came in a hurry, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something's wrong! Commandant Gu... He... He... "

Old Marquis’s face turned ashen, "What happened to Changqing?"

Eunuch Wei smiled, "He was acquitted!"

Emperor: "..."

Old Marquis:“…”

……

Meanwhile, after Empress Dowager Zhuang ended today's deception, she couldn't wait to return to Renshou Palace.

"JiaoJiao, things have been done! What about Aijia's sweet soup with eggs?"

Eunuch Qin, who was behind Empress Dowager Zhuang, almost stumbled!

You had been duping people all morning just for a bowl of sweet soup with eggs?

You’re the Empress Dowager. Could you be a bit more promising?

"It's done." Gu Jiao bent her lips into a smile and came out from the small kitchen with a bowl of sweet soup with eggs in hands.

Empress Dowager Zhuang rubbed her hands together and looked at her sweet soup with eggs with great anticipation.

JiaoJiao said that she would add two spoonfuls of sugar and two more eggs!

Two spoonfuls of sugar, could you imagine that!

Empress Dowager Zhuang gulped and looked at the sea bowl that Gu Jiao had put on the table.

In just one second, her face went black.

Empress Dowager Zhuang: "What about the two spoonfuls of sugar?"

Gu Jiao: "I added it."

She just also added two more bowls of water.

Empress Dowager Zhuang: "What about the two extra eggs?"

Gu Jiao: "I added them too."

It was just that they were quail eggs, the ones with the yolk removed.

Empress Dowager Zhuang cried out with sobs in her heart——

Aijia felt wronged.

Aijia refused to talk!

Eunuch Qin rarely saw the Empress Dowager defeated, so he couldn’t help laughing.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's death gaze suddenly fell on him!

Eunuch Qin shivered all over, and the horror of being dealt with by Empress Dowager Zhuang in the past came back to his mind. He knelt down with soft legs and said, "May Empress Dowager pardon this servant!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang narrowed her eyes dangerously.

Just when Eunuch Qin thought his death was certain, Empress Dowager Zhuang suddenly raised her hand and pointed it at Eunuch Qin, saying to Gu Jiao, "Eunuch Qin has also worked hard today, JiaoJiao should make him a bowl of it too."

When Eunuch Qin heard this, he wondered if he had been scared silly to the point of hearing things.

Empress Dowager said he worked hard?

And even asked Young Miss Gu to cook him a bow of sweet soup with eggs too?

Eunuch Qin quickly kowtowed, "This servant dare not! Dare not!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang was unusually compassionate, "No, you dare."

A quarter of an hour later, another bowl of sweet soup with eggs was served by Gu Jiao. The color of this bowl of soup was much more mellow, and you could already smell the aroma of brown sugar from afar.

Empress Dowager Zhuang: "You eat with Aijia."

Eunuch Qin was so scared that he fell to his knees!

"Eunuch Qin, please eat." Gu Jiao said amusedly.

Eunuch Qin glanced at Empress Dowager with trepidation, feeling that he would die whether he ate it or not. Still, he had to bite the bullet and sit down.

Empress Dowager Zhuang solemnly said, "JiaoJiao."

"Hm?"

"Someone was calling you outside."

"Is that so?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang nodded, "In the imperial garden!"

"Oh." Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow and went out.

As soon as she left, Empress Dowager Zhuang quickly snatched Eunuch Qin's sweet soup with eggs!

Eunuch Qin with a dumbfounded look on his face: "..."
