Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Li Junze's heart was beating wildly. He horrifiedly lit the fire stick on his body and quickly burned the three pages of paper to ashes. However, his heart could not calm down for a long time.

My father's birthday has only been a few days ago, how could my mother find out that she is pregnant? My grandfather wants to use my mother's non-existent child to restrain the Prince of Yan and make him help him succeed.

If he wanted to take action before the child was born, the first thing he had to solve was the emperor's father's physical condition. Judging from the current situation, he was in good health. If he wanted to accomplish anything on his own, his father would have to be seriously ill or pass away.

The second thing is Crown Prince Li Junhao. If he is not eliminated, he will be the first heir even if his father passes away.

However, as long as Li Junhao is eliminated, then I will be the only one left to fight for that position.

Thinking of this, he forgot his fear, and instead a hint of viciousness flashed through his heart.

Let's just say ten months. This way there won't be too many variables, and I can arrange many things more compactly. The most important thing is that my grandfather is in good health now, but waiting any longer may not be the case.

My uncle is a useless person, so when it comes down to it, I still have to rely on my grandfather for things like this.

Thinking of this, Li Junze became full of fighting spirit again. He was finally going to move towards that position, the position he had been dreaming of for more than ten years.

While he was thinking carefully about every aspect of the matter, Wen Jiaxiang rushed in, sweating profusely.

"Your Highness, it's bad. The matter of the relief grain has been discovered by Niu Penghai." He said anxiously without even taking a breath.

"What?" Li Junze stood up from his chair and asked with a frown, "How could he find you two if you followed him together?"

"This... Niu Penghai is very strict in his work. He insists on checking every car and passing them through the pumps one by one. The two of us didn't stop them." Wen Jiaxiang said hesitantly.

"Waste, what a waste." Li Junze roared and walked out with Wen Jiaxiang.

However, when he reached the gate of the mansion, he met Niu Penghai who was leading a large group of Jinzhou officials.

"Oh, Your Highness, something terrible has happened. The relief grain has been swapped, and almost half of it has turned into sand." Niu Penghai was also panicked. When he saw Li Junze coming out, he trotted over to report the situation to him.

"Take me to see it." Li Junze had no choice but to continue talking along with him, pretending that he knew nothing about it.

The only solution now is to put the blame on Xi Gaoyuan, the person in charge of purchasing grain.

He didn't do a good job of collecting grain, and I was thinking about how to punish him. Now I'll give him a chance to take the blame for myself.

Gu Qiongsi returned to their bedroom and walked around twice. She felt more and more uneasy.

She called the little maid outside the door, "Where is His Royal Highness Prince An now?"

The little maid had been instructed by Gu Qiongsi to keep an eye on the movements of His Royal Highness Prince An, so she timidly replied, "His Royal Highness has left the palace with Master Wen."

What, leaving the house? Taking Lord Wen with him?

Didn't Wen Jiaxiang go to check on the disaster relief grain? How come he came back so soon?

Gu Qiong couldn't figure out these things, so she stopped thinking about them and sat back in her chair.

There was a chessboard on the table, on which was the endgame of the game between her and Li Junze last night. Gu Qiongsi unconsciously picked up one of the white flags, guessing what the content of Wang Zhuo's letter to Li Junze would be.

If he told Li Junze everything about the brothel and Yipinxiang in the capital, would he still be willing to take her as his concubine?

The only person she can rely on now is Prince An. If he is unwilling to take her into the rear palace, will she have to go back to Xie Chengan after returning to Beijing?

She felt revolted just thinking about such a thing. Compared with the handsome and noble Prince An, Xie Cheng'an was nothing.

How could I possibly go back?

She stood up suddenly and took out the bag she brought with her to Jinzhou from the closet. She glanced outside the door and found that no one was there, then she took out a jade bottle from inside.

It was the "Beauty's Smile" that she had made herself. Fortunately, she brought some with her this time. If she had used it with Prince An, she wondered if he would be more attached to her.

It had been several days since the Emperor's birthday, and Prince of Yan Li Xingxian had just come out of the Empress Dowager's palace. Wei Hai was still following closely behind him.

In two days, he would leave the capital and return to Northern Yan, but he was still thinking about Concubine Yu.

Why did I do such a rebellious thing that day without knowing why? The key point is that Wang Yuyan's attitude towards me has suddenly changed 180 degrees.

The tenderness in her eyes and the way she enjoyed herself under him were all lingering in his mind.

Thinking of this, he paused. Before he could leave the palace, he turned back and looked in the direction of Yuchen Palace again.

Wei Hai also stopped and stood quietly with his master under the scorching sun.

After about a cup of tea, Li Xingxian finally let out a long sigh, turned around and took Wei Hai back to his mansion.

He really couldn't find any excuse to see Wang Yuyan again before leaving Beijing, but he was not worried at all that he would never see her again.

Because on the second day after the emperor's birthday banquet, he went to the scholar's mansion to plead guilty, confessed everything to Scholar Wang, and took all the blame on himself.

After hearing what he said, Wang Zhuo was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

After all, if such a thing were to be known by others, it would be a serious crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of the clan.

Then, Wang Zhuo took the initiative to reach out and help him up, and then said to him earnestly, "In fact, Yuyan has been interested in you for a long time. I have been persuading her to give up, but it seems that she didn't listen to me."

Li Xingxian couldn't explain clearly what he felt at that time. He always thought that Wang Yuyan looked down on him, so he never dared to think about such a thing over the years.

I didn't expect that Yuyan has always liked me.

From Master Wang's narration, Li Xingxian finally understood that Wang Yuyan was forced to enter the palace many years ago. Even the day before entering the palace, she was still asking Master Wang to send a message to Li Xingxian, wanting to elope with him.

But how could Master Wang agree to this? The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. Under the circumstances at the time, Wang Yuyan had only one way to go.

That way, you'll enter the palace and compete for favor with the hundreds of beauties in the palace.
