Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Xunwei also followed out of the room and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing not far behind Sang Mo.

He looked a little tired, probably because he hadn't slept all night. He must have just come down from the wall, and looked a little dishevelled.

When Gu Xunwei saw him like this, she felt that his current image was very different from the Crown Prince she knew in her mind.

However, before she had time to take a closer look, Li Junhao had already tidied his clothes and returned to his usual cool image.

When they entered the living room, Sang Mo tactfully took Baizhi and Chenxiang out, saying that he wanted to find something to eat as he had been busy all night and had not had time to eat.

After hearing what he said, Gu Xunwei felt that she had really caused more trouble, but she was still worried about something that suddenly occurred to her.

She looked a little embarrassed and said, "I am so sorry for causing trouble to Your Highness. I just, just..."

Li Junhao raised his hand to interrupt her, "Madam Xie, there is no need to be like this. Just say whatever you want to say."

After hearing this, Gu Xunwei sorted out her thoughts and words again, and then slowly said,

"I really shouldn't disturb your Highness with such things, but I still have to tell you, because four years later in this dream, the eleventh prince will replace you as the crown prince. It is said that this is an imperial decree issued by the emperor."

After hearing this, Li Junhao's nervous expression relaxed a little, but he still asked calmly, "Oh, really? What about me?"

Gu Xunwei shook her head and told the truth, "I heard these words from others, and he overheard them, that's all I know."

Li Junhao knew that it was normal for Gu Xunwei, a woman living in a secluded house, to not know what was going on in the court, so he did not want to ask any more questions. Instead, he asked, "If I were not to become the crown prince, would Madam Xie still be willing to run Wangyu Tower with me?"

Gu Xunwei raised her head in horror, her heart skipping a beat. She tried hard to control her expression, but her voice still trembled as she spoke, "Your Highness, what are you doing..."

Although Gu Xunwei concealed it fairly well, Li Junhao still saw a hint of panic in her expression. The premise for the other party to cooperate with him should be because he is the prince.

He immediately spoke up to dispel her doubts, "Madam Xie, I know what you said and I will pay attention to it. If there is nothing else, I will return home first."

"Yes, I respectfully send off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Xunwei was still in shock at the question Li Junhao had just asked her, but she did not notice that Li Junhao had changed "I" to "this palace" in his conversation with her.

After seeing Li Junhao off, Gu Xunwei should have felt relieved. However, because of the other party's attitude towards this matter, she felt even more uneasy.

He said, if I don’t become the crown prince, would Madam Xie still be willing to run Wangyu Tower with me?

What did he mean by this? Did he already know about this, or could he accept such a thing?

If he didn't become the crown prince, would he still be able to protect himself and the Gu family, and allow them to possess huge wealth without being coveted by others?

She didn't dare to think about it, and she had never thought about such a thing.

Unlike her anxiety, Li Junhao felt very depressed after returning to his yard.

He always felt that Gu Xunwei was different. Although she valued money very much, she was also someone who could give up a lot of money. But when he saw her expression today, he felt a little depressed.

Since he was very young, he was told that he would become the crown prince of a country. No matter walking, sitting or lying down, he was taught according to the most stringent rules. The art of being an emperor, the art of controlling people, and the art of checks and balances were engraved in his bones.

But he was not happy, let alone unhappy. These were not what he wanted, because his identity made him live in various conspiracies since he was a child. Four years ago, even his mother left him.

This was not the life he wanted at all. He didn't like the big cage in the palace, nor did he like having so many concubines like his father. So before his mother passed away, he asked her for a grace.

His mother, who had always loved him, readily agreed and persuaded his father.

Now, only he and his father knew about that grace, so he dared to tell his father directly about everything he did, making it impossible for Li Junze and the others to understand.

Sang Mo saw that His Highness seemed to be in a bad mood again, and thought that Gu Xunwei had told His Highness something important, so he did not dare to ask easily.

"Sang Mo, go back to the palace and get the third volume of Mr. Bao's detective collection." Li Junhao suddenly ordered Sang Mo.

"Oh, yes, Your Highness, what does this want?" Sang Mo was a little puzzled. Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to hand over the third volume to Lord Yan as well?

"Stop talking too much." Li Junhao didn't even look up, and Sang Mo was so scared that he turned around and disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Fuzi came over at this time and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, Lord Yan just sent a message asking you to go to the Dali Temple, saying that a very important confession was obtained during the interrogation."

Li Junhao sighed, feeling somewhat helpless. He stood up and was about to leave when Xiao Fuzi asked again, "Your Highness, have you had breakfast yet? I have prepared some for you. Please have some before you go over."

"No, I have no appetite." After saying that, Li Junhao took two guards and went out.

Xiao Fuzi scratched his head in confusion. His Highness's temperament became more and more obvious after leaving the palace. It was unclear whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

But today, His Highness seems to be a little angry. Who has the ability to make His Highness, who usually keeps his emotions expressionless, so angry?

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he noticed the head sticking out of the wall. "Oh, what happened? Why is a beautiful girl climbing over the wall?"

Xiao Fuzi had never seen Baizhi before. When he saw her, he immediately spoke in a sissy voice, frowned, and asked Baizhi to get down from the wall first.

It was also the first time that Bai Zhi saw a eunuch. She found the tone and voice of her speech very interesting, so she jumped down from the top of the wall.

"Hello, I'm looking for Chief Sang." Bai Zhi went straight to the point.

Xiao Fuzi knew who she was immediately, and then he said, "Is it Miss Baizhi? Chief Sang just went out, and it will probably take a while for him to come back."

Bai Zhi was a little disappointed after hearing this, but she still bowed to Xiao Fuzi, turned around and was about to go out over the wall again, but was stopped by Xiao Fuzi.
