The King already gave Zhou Huailing an authority token that Gu Ruxue could use to come in and out of the court as she wanted, when Gu Ruxue became the real Princess Consort.
From that day on, Gu Ruxue had total freedom of walking in and out of the imperial court. And today, she still had no difficulty walking into the court with Mrs. Gu and Gu Yunhe.
Gu Ruxue knew the location of Weiyang Palace very well. She had asked Zhou Huailing to show her the location many times, because she believed that this palace was going to be hers and she should have a better look at it ahead of time. And today, her knowledge came in handy.
She went to the Weiyang Palace as if it were her home.
As she came to the gate of the Weiyang Palace, Gu Ruxue gave Mrs. Gu a hint and Mrs. Gu shouted loudly, “Queen, I am seeking justice!”
Gu Ruxue pretended to tug her mother, but she did not try to stop her for real.
Mrs. Gu was panicking. After all, it was the Queen’s palace and she had never dared to do anything wild in front of her before.
However, the moment she said the words, Mrs. Gu showed no fear. It was just a Queen! Her daughter was the Phoenix Girl!
Then she shouted even more loudly. She kept on shouting without stopping.
Aunt Nan heard the shouting and came to the gate, only to see the three members of the Gu Family standing right there. She said seriously, “What are you shouting for? This is Weiyang Palace, not your own home!”
Mrs. Gu stopped shouting. Her shouting had brought many people to the spot, as many maids started to crane their heads and looked around.
Gu Ruxue took a step forward. She put on the air of a Princess Consort and said to Aunt Nan. “What do you mean, Aunt Nan? My mother is just so angry that she lost her temper! Any mother would be very angry seeing her child beaten like this! We are here seeking justice from the queen!”
Gu Ruxue pointed at the swollen-faced Gu Yunhe.
Gu Yunhe was grimacing. He was suffering from so much pain. For the visit’s sake, he did not go to a doctor or take any medicine the day before, so he did not have to pretend to show the misery.
Aunt Nan looked at Gu Yunhe.
So this was the shameless man who tried to frame Princess Xunyang yesterday?
It was great that the Princess was good at martial arts, otherwise something horrible would have happened.
Aunt Nan threw a sharp look at him.
Gu Ruxue said arrogantly, “Where is the queen? Get her here, I don’t speak with servants!”
“You think you deserve to speak with the Queen?” Aunt Nan was very serious as she gazed at Gu Ruxue.
Gu Ruxue got pissed off directly.
“I am the Princess Consort of Lord Ling, the Phoenix Girl, you said that I am not qualified to talk with the queen?” Gu Ruxue said disdainfully.
When Gu Ruxue got very angry, the Queen came out of the Weiyang Palace, supported by Susu.
She looked very pale. She was already very saddened when the King wanted Princess Xunyang to marry Gu Yunhe, and when she heard that Xunyang was set up by her Fourth Brother, she got even more annoyed and feeble. She did not sleep throughout the entire night.
She had just felt a sense of sleepiness, when she heard Mrs. Gu’s shouting.
“What is going on?” the Queen asked calmly.
