Chapter 399 I Can Let You Go Back
【Mr. Zhang is back.】
[Haha, it turns out that most men in the world are the same. Mr. Zhang is just henpecked, so he doesn't take concubines and doesn't dare to have any thoughts about other women. But after being with Zhang Ran for the sake of their child, he began to have other thoughts about her.]
He knew that taking a concubine was impossible, and now that Zhang Ran was pregnant, his wife would definitely not allow him to have any contact with her. So, while his wife was away worshipping Buddha, he found an excuse to go to the dock to check on the goods, and went out with her. However, Mr. Zhang had no intention of checking on the goods at the dock at all, and he quickly sent someone back before they even reached the dock.
Because he wanted to secretly be with Zhang Ran while his wife was away, he rushed to Zhang Ran's yard after returning home.
When they arrived at Zhang Ran's courtyard, Zhang Yuanwai discovered that she wasn't there at all. A bad premonition instantly gripped him, and he immediately called for his servants to come look for her. As they ran outside to look for her, Zhang Yuanwai unexpectedly discovered the housekeeper and the maid hiding under the bed in the room. His previous bad premonition was instantly magnified, and he knew that Zhang Ran must have escaped.
[Zhang Yuanwai immediately ordered a team to search for Zhang Ran. He also had the housekeeper and maid splashed with water to wake them up. After waking up, they confessed everything. However, the housekeeper was frightened and put all the blame on Zhang Ran, saying that Zhang Ran had seduced him and he hadn't resisted the temptation and had come over, but he didn't expect that Zhang Ran would knock him unconscious.]
[Before the incident, they were full of affection and spoke of their longing for love, but when something happened, they immediately pulled themselves out, fearing that if they were a step slower, they would be implicated.]
[Disgusting, really disgusting. No wonder there are so many unfortunate women in this world, because there are so many unreliable men in this world.]
Zhang Ran didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. While escaping, she bumped into the men sent by Mr. Zhang. She was afraid they would recapture her. She knew exactly what would happen if she was recaptured, and she would never have the chance to escape again.
So she could only desperately run through the crowd. Luckily, our carriage was just entering the capital. Zhang Ran only saw many carriages and didn't think it was us at first, thinking it was the high-ranking official entering the capital. After all, there were so many soldiers. If she could just throw herself in front of them and be taken to the government office, it would be better than being taken back by Mr. Zhang and his men.
After stopping the carriage, Zhang Ran realized it was ours.
[When the servants realized it was our carriage, they didn't dare to chase it and could only watch from afar.]
[They are still waiting among the crowd, just waiting for the moment to end so they can go back and report.]
[After doing so many evil things, I still let you go back.]
Gu Jianchu looked at the crowd outside through the car window, and sure enough, he saw two furtive figures not far away looking over here. Compared to the others who were just watching the show, only those few people were acting suspiciously. They were probably sent by Mr. Zhang's mansion.
Gu Jianchu immediately called Guyu over and whispered a few words in Guyu's ear.
After receiving the order, Guyu immediately went to do it.
Seeing the Queen's confident look, Xie Ci'an knew that there was no use for him in this matter. All he could do now was to take good care of Gu Jianchu's health.
At this moment, Yun He walked out of Zuixianju, followed by the owner of Zuixianju, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the private room is ready."
"Since we are ready, why not move to the private room of Zuixianju to deal with this matter? What do you think, Your Majesty?" Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an beside him with burning eyes.
Xie Ci'an looked at Gu Jianchu with eyes full of doting, "I will listen to the Queen."
After the emperor and empress got off the carriage, the owner of Zuixianju personally led the way for the two of them. Behind them followed a large group of palace servants and Zhang Ran who was taken care of by Qiu Tao. Behind them came Dou Cong, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Minister of Justice who also stayed. As for the other ministers, since they had nothing to do at the scene, Xie Ci'an did not let them follow and asked them to disperse.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please be careful with your steps. The private room is prepared for you on the third floor. This room has the best location and is the largest." The owner of Zuixianju was so nervous that sweat was coming out of his forehead, but he still stopped at the corner of the stairs politely. After seeing the two of them follow, he continued to lead the way.
Arriving at the private room, the owner of Zuixianju pushed open the door, and a warm breeze filled the room. "Just now, the eunuch said that the Empress is afraid of the cold, so he asked us to prepare two extra charcoal basins in the room. I was afraid that the charcoal basins were not hot enough, so I asked someone to light the ground steamer as well. It will heat up faster. Your Majesty, please let me know if the Empress has any instructions."
Gu Jianchu stopped in front of the door and looked at the boss with gentle eyes. "Boss, please prepare some hot water for us, and serve us some of your Zuixianju's famous dishes and wine. Also, bring us a bowl of hot chicken soup."
The owner of Zuixianju only thought that the Empress would just be here to hear a case, but he didn't expect that they would actually ask for so many things. He nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will have someone prepare it right away."
The boss followed Yun He and Cheng Song's example and quickly left the room.
Compared with other private rooms, the one prepared by the boss for them is indeed large and very delicately decorated. There is a bed and a bedside table by the window, which makes it convenient for them to recite poems and enjoy the scenery by the window, because when the window is opened, they can see the entire Suzaku Street and the moat.
On snowy days, you can drink tea or wine while looking at the snow scene, with your lover or three or five good friends around you.
There are several armchairs next to the couch table, and a row of decorative pipa are hung on the wall, which is quite interesting.
The entire private room is divided into two compartments, separated by a bead curtain in the middle, and on the other side is a round table that can accommodate more than a dozen people.
However, the bead curtain made a tinkling sound when the wind blew.
Xie Ci'an helped Gu Jianchu to the table in front of the window. Before sitting down, Xie Ci'an took off Gu Jianchu's cloak and put it aside. He then took the hot water bottle handed to him by Zhu Xiaxin and put it in Gu Jianchu's hand.
Zhang Ran huddled behind everyone, watching Xie Ci'an taking such meticulous care of Gu Jianchu, a hint of envy rising in her eyes.
Unlike Wen Nuan, she likes to cling to Gu Jianchu and make herself familiar to him. In the past, she had only heard that the emperor doted on the queen, but today she was fortunate enough to see it in person. The emperor was really good to the queen.
She knew a few men, but none of them treated his wife so well. Even her sister and brother-in-law seemed to be in love in front of others, but in private, the sister gave in to the brother-in-law.
What's more, he is the emperor.
