Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

The housekeeper walked in with a troubled look on his face and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Master Wang sent someone to tell you that the matter in the palace has not yet been resolved. Now is a critical moment, so you should not act rashly."

Li Junze became unhappy when he heard this. Why did his grandfather always tell him not to act rashly, not to be impulsive, and to keep calm at all times? He had already felt frustrated enough over the years, and yet for such a small matter, he still had to send someone to pass on the message to him.

After hearing what the housekeeper said, Gu Qiongsi was also carefully observing Li Junze's expression. As long as the other party was a person with his own ideas, their chances of success would be a little greater.

"I understand. Please go and get the letter." Li Junze still insisted on his idea.

The butler had no choice but to nod and go to the study to get the letter.

Cao Xingwen once again advised Li Junze, "Your Highness, I think what Wang Xueshi said makes sense. We should be cautious at this moment."

"After all, the palace affairs are still unresolved, and Dali Temple Junior Official Yan Nangui certainly hasn't let down his guard. If they really want to investigate a crime of making irresponsible remarks about the royal family, that would be bad."

Prince An naturally understood all of Cao Xingwen's words, but he did not think that the information war that Gu Qiongsi mentioned would affect himself and Prince An's Mansion.

"Brother Cao, what we said makes sense. So the news we are going to spread next will not be about the royal family. We will no longer discuss the royal family's affairs, but will focus on the ministers' affairs." Gu Qiongsi explained to Cao Xingwen, seeming to have made up his mind.

"Since the other party can release so many messages at the same time, we can just release two or three messages and mix them in. It will definitely not attract too much attention."

"Oh, what does Qingzhu plan to do?" Li Junze immediately became interested after hearing this.

"We can focus on collecting information about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's maternal family and make a fuss about it." Gu Qiongsi directly pointed the finger at Crown Prince Li Junhao.

This point is also very much in line with Li Junze's wishes.

"Yes, Qingzhu is right. Most of the letters in my study are what you said, and they also contain some other information."

After Li Junze finished speaking, the butler had already brought a stack of letters and handed them to him.

Seeing them like this, Cao Xingwen shook her head slightly. Seeing her expression, Wen Jiaxiang gave him a subtle look, telling him not to continue to object.

Cao Xingwen had no choice but to nod, understanding what Wen Jiaxiang meant.

Gu Qiongsi naturally did not notice the little things between them, and even if he did, he would not care. Instead, he took the letters handed over by Li Junze and checked them one by one.

"The news in these letters is not explosive enough and cannot quickly attract everyone's attention and interest, so we have to add some more interesting elements." Gu Qiongsi said to Li Junze as he read.

"When they spread the news, they have already changed the characters, places, and even dynasties, so the content can also be changed, which makes it easier to attract discussion."

Li Junze hesitated for a moment. If the true story were to be spread out, it would at most be considered gossip, but if the untrue story were to be spread out, it would be just rumors. If the other party knew about it, he might be charged with defamation.

Gu Qiongsi didn't care. "Now, with so many pieces of news appearing at once, no one will care even if one or two pieces of news deviate from the truth. Your Highness, just rest assured."

Li Junze nodded and agreed to arrange for Gu Qiongsi to take action as soon as possible to reduce the impact of the current news.

So, Gu Qiongsi went to the City God Temple overnight, but found that Jiao Dafu and the refugees in the City God Temple had disappeared. She went to the teahouse where Wu Feng often stayed, but found no trace of him either.

This made Gu Qiongsi feel a little uneasy, but she soon relaxed because she asked the waiter in the teahouse and was told that Wu Feng and his friends had been in the teahouse this afternoon and had just left not long ago.

So Gu Qiongsi did not go back to Jianjiayuan directly, but continued to stay in the teahouse to drink tea.

Although it was very late, the teahouse was still very lively, especially the storyteller in the hall who was telling a story about a legitimate mother harming her concubine's daughter.

The guests in the teahouse were also listening with great interest, and from time to time they would cheer for the storyteller. Especially when he talked about the stepmother's despicable methods that were not worthy of being shown in public, the people in the audience sighed.

"Look, the mistress of this wealthy family looks glamorous, generous and decent, but she can actually do such dirty things in private. It's really eye-opening." Someone whispered to the people around him.

"Who said it wasn't? The previous show was about the legitimate son bullying the illegitimate son. In my opinion, these three shows this afternoon were all very exciting." Another person echoed.

"Yes, yes, I also heard about this in other teahouses, so I came here to listen."

"What was the story of that teahouse you visited earlier?"

"Oh, it's actually quite interesting. It's a story about how the ancient Xiangyang City defended the city and was willing to die to save the people of the city. It made our blood boil and we can't wait to sign up to join the army."

"Really? Why do I suddenly feel that there are so many good stories in the storytellers' picture books today? I just heard a good story in Louwailou. Do you want to listen to it..."

"Hurry up, why are you keeping us in suspense? The teacher will soon get to the climax of his story, and no one will have time to listen to you." Someone urged anxiously.

The man smiled mysteriously, and then said, "It's a story about the folk magic master Xuanjizi. Wow, magic, it feels like a myth. The audience sighed, it was really an eye-opener."

Gu Xunwei listened to their discussions and couldn't help but sigh at the other party's swift actions. They were able to deploy so many troops in such a short time, which distracted everyone's attention.

No matter who the opponent is, he is an opponent that cannot be underestimated, and she needs to put in her full effort.

At this moment, a very abrupt voice suddenly interrupted their discussion.

He just said, "Humph, what's so good about these trivial family matters? I think what happened at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is more interesting. Did you hear about it this morning? It was a big commotion at the time."

In order to attract everyone's attention, he unconsciously raised his voice a few degrees, and immediately several people turned their eyes to that person.
