Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

The words of Grandpa Wei echoed in Wei Bingyan's mind. She looked at Li Yuyan strangely, "What did you... tell my Grandpa?"

Li Yuyan took her hand and placed it on his palm, and whispered softly, "Your Majesty has heard that the Crown Prince secretly dispatched people to assassinate Prince Chu. Regardless of whether it was done by the Crown Prince, many people think that he did it. This is a rare opportunity."

"That's what Second Brother meant. Do you have a way to make my father believe that the prince would really do that? After all, my father has been following the prince for many years. He knows the prince better than you do. He may not think that it was the prince who did it." Wei Bingyan said.

"It doesn't matter whether your father thinks so or not. The Marquis will believe it." Li Yuyan said.

Wei Bingyan bit her lower lip and asked, "Can I really use this incident to make my father leave?"

"Your Majesty intends to open the forbidden sea of ​​Baiyue. Once the forbidden sea is opened, Baiyue will also open up to trade. The tea-horse trade there is a very important source of tax revenue for the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty is thinking about who should be sent to the post of Supervisory Governor of Baiyue." Li Yuyan said. In fact, even if Old Master Wei had no intention of letting Wei Zhong leave the prince, he would find a way to get Wei Zhong out of the capital quickly.

"Do you have a way to get my father to go to Baiyue?" Wei Bingyan's eyes suddenly brightened. Although she had never been to Baiyue, she had heard before that in a few years, Baiyue would be a very good and prosperous place, and that any official who went to work there would have a lot of benefits. Indeed, she did not expect Wei Zhong to get much benefits there.

Li Yuyan's expression was a little gloomy. "Then I'll see what your Majesty thinks. Don't worry, I will find a way."

Wei Bingyan nodded. If Wei Zhong could ask His Majesty for permission to go to Baiyue, wouldn't that be easier? But how could Wei Zhong ask for permission himself?

Maybe I can ask my mother to persuade her...but what's the reason?

"Okay, it's getting late. I'll take you there. I have to visit the Wei family anyway." Li Yuyan took her hand and was about to walk outside.

Wei Bingyan threw his hand away vigorously and immediately changed her mind. "Didn't you just come out of the palace? How did you know that my second senior brother and I were here?"

"You and I are in tune with each other, so of course I know that." Li Yuyan said with a smile. How could he know that she and Abao had agreed to meet here? It was just a coincidence. He wanted to come here to get some Ganoderma lucidum and fish maw nutritional supplements to give to Mrs. Wei sincerely, and just now he heard from Manager Xu that the two of them were also here.

“Slippery!” Wei Bingyan cursed with spit flying, but her lips couldn’t help but pursed.

Walking into the bright hall, Shopkeeper Xu came over and handed two red boxes to Li Yuyan, "Master Li, these are the two thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and the best fish maw you asked for."

Li Yuyan took it and said, "Put it on your master's account."

"Yes..." Shopkeeper Xu nodded in response.

Wei Bingyan raised her eyebrows and asked Li Yuyan in a soft voice, "Are you going to give this to my mother?"

"My mother-in-law is in great need of nourishment. It is only natural that I should give her some gifts as a token of my gratitude." Li Yuyan replied with a smile.

"Put it on Senior Brother's account?" Wei Bingyan asked with a helpless smile.

"It's my duty!" Li Yuyan didn't feel embarrassed at all. Anyway, even if he didn't say that, Manager Xu would not take a penny from him.

Xiao was very happy with Li Yuyan's thoughtful and warm hospitality. Although she did not see Li Yuyan, but looking at the Ganoderma lucidum he brought directly to her, she felt as happy as if she were going to be a mother-in-law.

The news that the Crown Prince dispatched people to secretly assassinate the Prince of Chu was indeed spread very quickly. As Wei Bingyan expected, Wei Zhong did not believe that it was the Crown Prince's doing at all. He even wrote a letter to the Marquis, telling him not to believe the rumors. It was very likely that some people were deliberately plotting a slander.

When the rumor spread, Wei Bingru was still on the way and had not yet arrived in Jinyun City.

The kiln girl also came to the capital. In order to avoid the prince's notice, Wei Bingyan asked the people in Guanzhuang to hide her, and then went to look for her.

Li Yuyan said that she was a prostitute, and it was not suitable for Wei Bingyan to meet her alone, so he must go with her.

Wei Bingyan wanted to say that she had turned into a man, but was she still afraid of ruining her reputation? Was he worrying too much?

In order to prevent such a woman from being discovered by the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince, the people of Guanzhuang did not take her to the city, but settled her in a small mountain village in the suburbs.

Such a prostitute was called Hong Su. Hong Su was delicate and beautiful, a rare beauty. When Wei Bingyan saw her, she was also very excited. She was the most beautiful girl in the brothel that was smashed by the Marquis. On that day, Prince Chu directly booked the entire brothel and called several prostitutes to accompany him to drink happily. The madam knew that Prince Chu was a big shot, so she sincerely brought Hong Su, who only sold her art but not her body, out.

The moment Prince Chu saw Hong Su, he was so attracted by her that he no longer cared about any other woman. He immediately asked Hong Su to serve him and went back to his room.

The drunk Prince Chu was helped back to his room by two maids. Hongsu personally helped him take a bath and then helped him to bed. Before the two of them could do anything, she was called out by the brothel owner. In order to let Hongsu serve Prince Chu well, the brothel owner deliberately prepared some carefully made medicines for her. When Hongsu returned to the room, she found that Prince Chu had died on the bed.

"Miss Hongsu, did you see clearly? Did Prince Chu have any obvious scars on his body at that time?" Li Yuyan asked the question after listening to Hongsu's account of what happened that day.

Hong Sumei glanced at Li Yuyan with a slightly teasing look, and said in a weak voice that could squeeze out water, "How dare I take it seriously? At that time, when he encountered Prince Chu's body, his whole body was already stiff, and his eyes were wide open, clearly he died with hatred."

She had thought in vain that she could climb up step by step to become a noble like Prince Chu, and perhaps even rely on him to successfully escape from the brothel and become his concubine.

But she was still happy. Fortunately, she knew her own limitations. When she saw Prince Chu die in a brothel, she immediately took advantage of the chaotic situation to sneak out. Otherwise, she would have been killed by the Marquis for venting her anger for his son.

After the brothel was smashed, she wanted to escape from Lingshan, but she learned that the Marquis had sent people to look for her whereabouts. She was so scared that she hid and did not dare to show up. Later, the people from Guanzhuang found her and said that their young master had sent people to protect her to prevent her from being found by the Marquis.

She couldn't remember any young master of Guanzhuang she had ever met, and wondered if this young master had her in his heart, so he sent people to find her. While she was secretly happy, she also had hope that maybe she would have a chance to become the young master's wife.

Today, when she saw Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan, who had transformed into men, coming to see her, she immediately fell in love with the handsome and heroic Li Yuyan, and guessed that it was probably his idea that allowed her to appear in the capital. The two of them, the girl was charming and the boy was handsome, they were indeed a perfect match.

Wei Bingyan saw that Hongsu looked at Li Yuyan like a wild beast seeing its prey. She felt unhappy in her heart, but did not show it on her face.

"Eyes wide open?" Li Yuyan didn't notice Hong Su's beauty at all. He was just very curious about the cause of Chu Shizi's death. "What's her expression?"

Hong Su replied, "It feels like... a little green."

Li Yuyan and Wei Bingyan stared at each other. It was obvious that the previous story that Prince Chu died from excessive indulgence was wrong. It was obvious that the toxins invaded his body...

"Then what about the people that Prince Chu brought with him at that time?" Wei Bingyan suddenly asked, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"Everyone was drinking in the main hall, and Prince Chu had an accident, but no one noticed. If they hadn't entered the room, no one would have known that Prince Chu was dead." Hong Su said.

Wei Bingyan asked again, "How many people did Prince Chu bring with him?"

"It felt like there were four people, but there were only three people in the main hall at that time, and I don't know where the other one went." Hong Su said.

"Weren't you scared at that time? How did you know there were three people in the main hall?" Wei Bingyan closed her eyes and looked at her, asking coldly.

Hong Su curled her lips and said, "When I passed by the corridor at that time, I saw these people drinking with my sister in the main hall. In order to ask more questions about Prince Chu, I sincerely went down to drink a cup with them. How could I not know that there were only three of them?"

Fortunately, she went downstairs to have a drink with him, otherwise she might have died.

“Since you knew that Prince Chu’s death was unusual, why didn’t you argue with the Marquis, but instead hid yourself?” Wei Bingyan frowned, feeling a little weird.

Hong Su shouted, "How can I defend myself? When they knew that Prince Chu was dead, his men sealed off the Wanhua Tower. If I didn't run away, could I have saved my life?"

Wei Bingyan wanted to continue asking, but Hong Su was no longer willing to talk to her.

"Master Li, Prince Chu is dead, and I have nowhere to stay now. It's really thanks to you that I have a place to stay. How can I thank you?" Hong Su couldn't see the change in Wei Bingyan's expression. She just thought that she was Li Yuyan's follower. She twisted her delicate body and ran into Li Yuyan's arms.
