Chapter 140 Punishment
Gu Mingzhu's tone was full of irony.

Wang Jian immediately looked terrified: "I dare not!"

She looked at the middle-aged man on the ground, and immediately said loudly: "Don't you dare? I think you are very brave! As expected, like a father, like a son, are you going to use resignation as a threat to put me in a dilemma? "

Wang Jian was only half-knocking his head, but when he heard this question, he buried his head on the ground, and his attitude was extremely correct: "My minister has no such intentions, it's just that my child is ignorant and made a big mistake, I feel extremely ashamed, It is really shameless to act in front of the emperor, but let the empress make it!"

Gu Mingzhu looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Master Wang is an important minister of the court. The people of the Ming Dynasty need you. I shouldn't have been too harsh on the Wang family, but things have come to this point. As the head of the six departments, you are the one who disciplines the children." Inappropriate, causing this disaster, the guilt is inevitable!"

Gu Mingzhu paused, and continued: "As the saying goes, if a son does not teach, it is the father's fault. I think you have worked hard and made great achievements, so you will be fined to kneel outside the garden for an hour."

Wang Jian didn't dare to object: "I thank you for your kindness!"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Jiuyue, take people out."

Jiuyue nodded, walked up to Wang Jian, glanced at Wang Xiuyuan and Wang Qingru who were on the ground, and said in a steady voice, "Master Wang, please."

Wang Jian got up, retreated as he said, followed Jiuyue, and knelt at the gate of the garden.

Wang Xiuyuan and Wang Qingru had already been untied. Seeing Wang Jian standing upright and kneeling straight at the door, he couldn't help kneeling in front of Wang Jian with a plop: "Father...it's my fault! I will punish my father!"

Wang Qingru was so frightened that she knelt down with Wang Xiuyuan, not knowing what to do, she called out to her father in a daze.

Wang Jian looked at Wang Xiuyuan with a serious expression, and after a long while, he said: "Xiuyuan, you are not young anymore, you are 19 years old, you should know the seriousness, the Wang family's face is lost today, it doesn't matter if you lose face, luckily Save you two brothers and sisters."

Wang Xiuyuan's eyes were red, and he looked at his father in a daze. He still couldn't believe Wang Jian's words: "Father? Does she really dare to take our lives tonight?"

Wang Jian sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but be disappointed with him, but this is his own son after all, so he had to patiently say: "Why didn't she dare?"

Wang Qingru couldn't believe it, and said with difficulty: "But Daddy, you are the head of the six tribes, how dare she, a helpless queen, offend you like this?"

Wang Jian shook his head and said: "You are still young, I don't blame you if you don't know some things, but she is the only one, don't underestimate her!"

Both of them stared at him blankly.

Wang Jian is well aware of the powerful relationship, and others may not be too afraid of this young queen.But he is very clear that the predecessor of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the twelve states in the southeast, were all under her command.

Wang Jian said earnestly, remained silent for a while, and then said: "If she hadn't disappeared a year ago, the person seated now is probably her."

Wang Xiuyuan was shocked: "...what...what?"

Only Wang Qingru didn't understand what was going on, she opened her crying eyes and asked, "Daddy?"

Wang Jian sighed: "Not to mention that she was once the lord of the twelve states in the southeast, just based on the king's attitude towards her now, he does not accept the harem and marry wives and concubines. Have you heard that the emperor still has the courage to sit in the palace after entering the palace?" ? She dared! Not only did she dare, she also dared to take someone in front of the king."

Wang Jian looked at the courtyard in the distance. In the brightly lit room, he could vaguely see a green figure. Someone retreated from the hall. Wang Jian recognized the princess of the Ming Kingdom: "Gu Yan is not something the Wang family can provoke, she is a princess." , is the queen's younger sister, if you offend her, it is tantamount to confronting the queen, today's incident is over, and there must be no more incidents in the future!"

"Go back." Wang Jian said.

Wang Xiuyuan outside the garden refused to leave no matter what, and insisted on kneeling with Wang Jian as punishment, but Wang Qingru was out of breath from crying and was sent away by the palace guards.

Wang Xiuyuan knew that this matter would spread throughout Ruizhou City tomorrow, and the Wang family would become the laughing stock of others, but the matter has already happened to this point, it is better to be a laughing stock than to lose one's life!
He secretly swore in his heart that he would never act so impulsively again in the future.

In the garden, Zhou Yan left with Jiuyue on the pretext, and there were only two people left in the hall.

After Gu Mingzhu punished the Wang family like a thousand catties, the chopsticks in her hand did not move.

Seeing her calm face, Xu Jue smiled and said, "I've dealt with everything, why are you still angry?"

Gu Mingzhu simply put down her chopsticks and snorted, "Is there any?"

Xu Jue couldn't help laughing at the tone: "No?"

Gu Mingzhu got up, glanced at him, and said, "Do you still want to eat?"

Xu Jue said: "Just before I came back, I ate something to pad my stomach in the study."

Gu Mingzhu said loudly, "Come here, remove the food."

Xu Jue didn't know why she was angry, thought for a while, and was about to speak when Gu Mingzhu went to take a bath by herself.

He looked at the table of food barely moving, thoughtfully, got up and went to the side room.

When Gu Mingzhu came out, Xu Jue had already washed and was standing by the window, looking at the scenery outside.

Gu Mingzhu had long black hair hanging loose, and was about to go to bed, ignoring the soup cup on the table. After Xu Jue by the window heard the movement, he closed the window and turned around. Seeing Gu Mingzhu's plan, he said, "I asked Chun'er to do it." A bowl of soup that you like to eat on weekdays, you didn't even touch your chopsticks for dinner just now."

Gu Mingzhu turned her back to the person, and her tone was a bit stiff: "Don't eat."

Xu Jue was silent for a moment, then sat beside the bed, looked at the person with eyes closed and pretended to be asleep, smiled and said, "Really sleepy? I heard that you slept for more than an hour in the afternoon."

Gu Mingzhu turned sideways, ignoring his words.

Xu Jue thought for a while and said, "Still angry about the Wang family?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "That's right."

Xu Jue turned the person over and looked into Gu Mingzhu's eyes.

She is actually not angry at this level, at most she is a little emotional, but it is really hard for him to guess what is the specific reason. Xu Jue is glad that he does not need to guess now, and directly asks: "Can you tell me, obviously You have already punished the Wang family, are you still not happy?"

Gu Mingzhu looked at him, was quiet for a while, and was the first to be defeated in this confrontation. She patted his hand away, but did not look away, and said, "Tired."

Xu Jue was taken aback: "Tired?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Conflicting with these people, tired! Tired, this is not what I want."

Xu Jue narrowed his gaze: "Did you feel uncomfortable again today?"

Gu Mingzhu shook her head and looked at Xu Jue speechlessly.

Xu Jue slowly stretched out his hand and touched her eyebrows, his mind was spinning quickly: "Would you like to take you out to play tomorrow?"

Gu Mingzhu's tone was a little lighter: "You are so busy..."

Xu Jue covered Gu Mingzhu's eyes, and gently rubbed her forehead with his thumb: "Actually, it's almost the same, there are still a few days."

Gu Mingzhu opened and closed her mouth, unconsciously brisk: "Really?"

Xu Jue chuckled and said, "I'm not lying to you."
