Except for me, all my enemies have been reborn.

The two walked to a secluded place.

"Sir, do you also think there is something wrong with Zhao Liu just now?"

Shang Shixu nodded. That person was too obvious. He was probably anxious.

But she didn't understand why someone wouldn't want to solve the plague?

Unless the plague can provide him with convenience, but what can the plague provide?

"Wushe, go check if there are any children or women missing for unknown reasons."

"Yes, I obey."

Shang Shixu was frightened by his own thoughts. If someone really used the plague as a cover to traffic in people, the consequences would be disastrous.

Not to mention the problem of population loss, the spread of the plague alone was enough to cause trouble for the State of Qi.

Shang Shixu returned to the main hall.

"Knock, knock, knock. Your humble servant Shang Shixu requests to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Prime Minister, please wait a moment."

Shang Shixu was puzzled. This was not the eldest prince's voice. It sounded a bit like...

"Mr. Prime Minister, you are finally back. It feels like a long time since we last met. I miss you so much."

"It's Du Zongzhengcheng, it's been a long time since we last met."

Shang Shixu returned the gift, and the two exchanged some pleasantries. Du Zesheng then led Shang Shixu into the hall.

"Please take a seat, Prime Minister. I will get you a glass of water."

Shang Shixu was being led away by him in a daze. When he heard that he wanted to find water for himself, he quickly stopped him.

"Mr. Du Zongzheng, there is no need to trouble yourself. I am here to look for His Highness. Where is His Highness?"

Du Zesheng brought the water and forcefully stuffed it into Shang Shixu's hand.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. His Highness is preparing the snow money grass with Miss Qiu.

He told me to wait for you here, and when you come, I will hand this thing to you personally."

Shang Shixu received the package, but was in no hurry to open it. She was very curious about the Miss Qiu that Du Zesheng mentioned.

Is it possible that this Miss Qiu is the eldest prince's beloved woman as rumored?

"Du Zongzheng, who is this Miss Qiu you are talking about? What is her relationship with His Highness...

Um, what I mean is that the situation is critical now, and it is better not to have strangers around His Highness."

Shang Shixu tried his best to conceal his curiosity and pretended to be worried about the eldest prince.

Du Zesheng smiled with his eyes curved, as if he was quite interested in this matter.

He also found a chair and sat down, shaking his hand holding the teacup from side to side, really like a storyteller.

"Mr. Prime Minister, if you want to know about Miss Qiu, you have come to the right person.

Since I started my career, I have been following the Crown Prince.

At the beginning, the eldest prince and I fell in love at first sight. Bah, that's not right.

It should be that they fell in love with each other at first sight. Oh, this doesn't seem right.

Anyway, His Highness selected me from among a group of officials.

It was a sunny morning, and Your Highness and I..."

The more Shang Shixu listened, the more she felt something was wrong. What she wanted to hear was about the eldest prince and Miss Qiu, but how did it become about the eldest prince and his bootlicker?

"Wait, Du Zongzheng, wait, listen to me, I am asking about His Highness and Miss Qiu.

Du Zongzheng, are you listening? Stop now.

Oh my god, Master, please stop chanting. My head is about to explode.

Oh, Your Highness, why are you here? I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me."

Du Zesheng jumped up from his chair and looked around excitedly.

"Mr. Prime Minister, where is His Highness? How come I can't see him?"

Shang Shixu really wanted to give him a hand. It seemed that except for the eldest prince, everyone else was nothing but clouds in his eyes.

"Mr. Du Zongzheng, I just misread it. Also, I want to listen to His Highness and Miss Qiu, not His Highness and you."

Du Zesheng curled his lips and looked at Shang Shixu in disbelief.

"Mr. Prime Minister, don't you want to hear how His Highness selected me from among a bunch of officials?"

Shang Shixu nodded indifferently. She didn’t want to listen to the growth history of a bootlicker.

Du Zesheng felt like crying but had no tears, so he could only tell the story honestly.

"Mr. Prime Minister, Miss Qiu and our Highness have a very good relationship.

When His Highness first came to Lingnan, no one was optimistic about anything he did.

Only Miss Qiu supported and encouraged His Highness. After a while, His Highness and Miss Qiu became familiar with each other.

Later, as we saw, they fell in love, hehe."

Shang Shixu secretly thought that this was not good, as the eldest prince seemed to have a very good relationship with that Miss Qiu.

"Minister Du Zongzheng, I heard from the bailiffs in the plague station gossiping that His Highness had a conflict with Miss Qiu before. Is this true?"

Shang Shixu could only hope that the two of them could resolve their conflict and separate on their own.

Du Zesheng took a sip of tea and shook his head.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you heard from that yamen runner that His Highness and Miss Qiu have always had a good relationship.

Since His Highness returned, the two have been inseparable and in love. "

Shang Shixu was confused. Could it be that Jiang Huaixu was lying to her?

That shouldn't be the case. Why would she lie to him? It should be that Du Zesheng didn't see it. She still had to go and see for herself.

"Mr. Du Zongzheng, what kind of person do you think this Miss Qiu is? Is she worthy of our Highness?"

Du Zesheng poured himself another glass of water, and looked like he was ready to talk nonstop for three days and three nights.

Shang Shixu was really afraid of him and quickly added another sentence.

"Keep it brief. I have something important to do."

Du Zesheng patted his chest and said that he was very reliable.

"My Lord Prime Minister, Miss Qiu is so beautiful that she can make the moon and flowers ashamed, and she can make fish sink to the bottom of their water and geese fall to the ground.

Her intelligence is on par with His Highness, and she is a very gentle and charming person..."

Du Zesheng started talking incessantly again, and Shang Shixu could only automatically block out his nonsense.

I learned from Du Zesheng that Miss Qiu was the best in both appearance and talent.

Shang Shixu began to back off. How could he make the eldest prince give up such an outstanding girl?

Shang Shixu was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice that Du Zesheng's evaluation of Miss Qiu began to change.

"Okay, Du Zongzheng, thank you for today. I have something else to do, so I'll go first."

Shang Shixu got up and was about to leave, when he suddenly noticed a package on his legs.

By the way, she hasn’t opened the one in her hand yet, so she’ll ask Du Zesheng if he’s in a hurry.

"Mr. Du Zongzheng, is Your Highness anxious to know about this package?"

Du Zesheng waved his hand.

"His Highness said that there is no rush. The Prime Minister can take a look whenever he is free."

Shang Shixu said goodbye to Du Zesheng. She was going to find the eldest prince and meet the legendary Miss Qiu.

As they approached the warehouse, Shang Shixu suddenly began to hesitate.

How should she face this future prince's wife? Should she give her a fierce look to scare her?

Or should we use a conciliatory policy to lure her into a trap, and then force her to leave?

No, no, no, none of them will work. Shang Shixu slapped himself hard.

How could she do such a thing just to let the eldest prince sit on the throne?

"who are you?"
