Gu Fenglin and Prince Shou were sitting at the top, their expressions very solemn and ugly.
The couple in the second and third bedrooms sat aside like wooden and clay sculptures, with cowering and fearful expressions on their faces.
Mrs. Zhou looked over quietly, then quickly looked away with guilt and fear.
Mr. Gu had a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Mrs. Gu is full of contempt for all these people, they are worthless cowards.
They only know how to fight for petty profits, and when bullied they become cowards and do not know how to fight back.
She realized that she didn't see Gu Yilan, so she asked, "Where are Xiaojiu and Alin's wife?"
Gu Fenglin raised his eyes and looked at her coldly, his eyes full of disgust and hatred.
Mrs. Gu was so happy that she lowered her head and said no more.
On the other hand, King Shou said calmly: "Your Majesty, Prince Taichang Temple, is staying in the palace. I have summoned you all here today because something happened during the Queen Mother's conferment ceremony."
King Shou looked around at the crowd and said word by word: "Some villain dared to assassinate the priest's wife! He destroyed the foundation of Zhao!"
"Ah?" Mrs. Gu Er exclaimed at the right time, unable to conceal her gloating: "Who is so brave? How is Alin's wife?"
Mr. Gu Er scolded her: "What are you yelling about? If you don't speak, you will die!"
Mrs. Zhou lowered her head and remained motionless.
Old Mrs. Gu sneered: "Unworthy descendants, if I were good, who would dare to be so bold! Your Majesty! This matter must be investigated strictly!"
Do you think this vicious thing will get away with it if it harms the Gu family? You tell His Majesty to leave it to me to investigate!"
King Shou said calmly: "You don't have to worry, this matter will be decided by itself."
He swept his eyes over everyone one by one, and suddenly asked: "Ms. Zhou, what do you think of this?"
Mrs. Gu San was startled, her lips trembled and her face turned pale: "I, I, my wife, don't know."
King Shou looked at Mrs. Gu Er: "What do you have to say?"
Mrs. Gu Er said: "It's terrible! This is trying to cut off the foundation of the Gu family!"
As she said this, she couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid it's because Ah Lin's wife is usually so awesome that she attracts people's hatred."
Mr. Gu Er coughed hard: "Will you die if you stop saying a few words?"
Mrs. Gu Er curled her lips and stopped talking.
King Shou looked at Mrs. Gu again: "What do you think, Mrs. Gu Hou?"
Mrs. Gu gently pressed the corners of her lips with a silk handkerchief, and said gracefully: "I have no objection to what the prince said."
King Shou sneered: "Isn't that right? No one can have an opinion, but you can't."
Mrs. Gu's heart skipped a beat and she quickly glanced at Gu Fenglin.
Seeing him looking at her with eager eyes, she became more and more sure that she was deceiving her, so she sighed and said, "I don't understand what the prince means. Please make it clear to me."
"How could you not understand? You are the mastermind of this matter!"
Before King Shou finished speaking, the imperial guards swarmed up and pushed Mrs. Gu to the ground with all their strength.
Mrs. Gu did not struggle. Even though she was pushed down to her knees with her arms tied behind her back, she remained elegant and calm.
She raised her head and looked at Mr. Gu: "Sir, husband, I was wronged."
Mr. Gu was very shocked: "This, this, no matter how long her hands are, they can't reach the palace..."
He suddenly thought of something and pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Mrs. Gu gave up begging him without hesitation and looked at Gu Fenglin.
