Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

When Li Junze hurried to the Bachelor's Mansion, he heard from the servants that Wang Zhuo had been unconscious for half a day and had just woken up.

So, without any delay, he went in to check. He didn't expect that his grandfather looked much more haggard after only being ill for a day or two, and his complexion was not as energetic as before.

"Grandfather, how...do you feel?" Li Junze asked worriedly.

Wang Zhuo opened his dry lips. Wang Yucheng quickly took the cup of water and gave him a sip. He then slowly asked, "What time is it now?"

"Father, it's already the end of the Wei hour and you've been sleeping for most of the day." Wang Yucheng replied with concern.

"Well, today should be June 15th, shouldn't Ze'er be in the palace accompanying your mother? Why did you leave the palace so early?" Although Wang Zhuo was sick, he was thinking about Li Junze's affairs.

"Grandfather, Ze'er has gone to see mother. She is very concerned about your health. If she wasn't pregnant, she would definitely ask father to allow her to leave the palace." Li Junze raised his voice and spoke to him, fearing that he was hard of hearing and couldn't hear clearly.

However, after hearing his words, Wang Zhuo was disappointed for a moment. Although she was sick, she had been to the palace and saw her daughter, but she could not convince the other party. She insisted on giving birth to this child.

After returning from the palace, he fell ill and could not get up. If someone said that it was not because of Wang Yuyan, he would not believe it.

"Well, let her take care of herself. Grandpa is old." Wang Zhuo sighed. There were some things he didn't want to say more.

What's more, Li Junze had no idea what Wang Yuyan was planning, so how could he possibly reveal it?

Li Junze was very anxious, but seeing his grandfather's current condition, how could he bear to bring up the affairs of Jian Liangce and the others and make him worry, so he just said a few words to take care of himself and hurried back home.

The servant who had always been following him went to invite Gu Qiongsi to Prince An's mansion in advance.

It was still the same few people, and they sat down in the conference room again.

Li Junze's face was not looking good. He said calmly, "Our operation last night failed."

Gu Qiongsi's face turned pale immediately. She stood up and asked nervously, "Your Highness, this is impossible. Qingzhu clearly saw that they were all poisoned last night."

The poison was prepared for her by the wizard Mingluo. It was a very powerful drug. Anyone who consumed it would die, no matter how many people consumed it. So she asked someone to put the poison in their food and drinking water.

Li Junze waved his hand. He did not mean to blame Gu Qiongsi. "It's not your problem, nor is it the problem of the medicine. It's that the other party considered that we might take action, so they moved them away in advance."

"No, Qingzhu specifically asked someone to confirm this matter before taking action." Qingzhu was even more unbelievable. Could it be that all their actions had been mastered by the other party?

It’s creepy to think about this incident.

Li Junze said anxiously, "Now is not the time to discuss these details. The problem we need to solve now is the witnesses brought by Jian Liangce and his men, and what they said."

He then recounted everything that had happened in the palace that day, especially the testimonies of witnesses Li Shitou and Wang Erguai, which were very detailed.

"Now, my father has handed over the trial of this case to me and Yan Nangui, so I asked you to come here to discuss how to deal with this matter?" Li Junze asked briefly.

Wen Jiaxiang and the other two were a little frightened. They had not expected things to develop to this point. The people originally assigned to handle the matter were Wang Quan and Ji Huan, and the two were now in the Dali Temple, so they had no way of knowing the specific details.

Wen Jiaxiang was indeed a radical. After a little thought, he boldly suggested, "Your Highness, now that they have all appeared before the Emperor and their testimonies have been submitted to the Emperor, the Emperor still wants you to judge the case."

"It means that the emperor has not linked this matter to you. We just need to cut off all the clues related to you, and you can get away with it."

His words made some sense, Li Junze nodded after listening, but Cao Xingwen disagreed, he raised his voice and said,

"Brother Wen, it's easy to say, cut off all the clues? How can such a thing be done? As for the situation of Wang Quan and Ji Huan, we have no control over it."

The two of them might have said something in the Dali Temple, and these were factors beyond their control.

"Find a reason to separate Wang Quan and Ji Huan from Prince An's Mansion. For example, they hate His Royal Highness Prince An, so they want to deliberately frame His Royal Highness for the incident in Xiangyang City. Then,"

Gu Qiongsi spoke up and immediately solved the problem they had been worried about. She continued, "Then, all the confessions of the two of them, even those against Your Highness, cannot be trusted."

Li Junze knew that it would be difficult for the Dali Temple to believe what they said, but it was better to have it than not. Moreover, in this way, Wang Quan and the other two would not pose much of a threat to him.

As for whether my father will believe what I say in the end, that depends on the specific situation at that time.

"Well, go on."

He asked Gu Qiongsi to continue speaking, after all, some of his ideas were indeed unique.

Gu Qiong thought for a while before saying,

"I don't know much about what happened before, so I dare not say anything more. It should be pushed onto a scapegoat, and pressured to make him admit it. I believe Your Highness should have no shortage of such people, right?"

"Yes," Wen Jiaxiang agreed loudly, "If that's the case, even if there are some details that haven't been cleared up, we don't have to worry too much about it."

Cao Xingwen said worriedly, "The key question is how can we make them believe that this is true and not something we did on purpose."

Wen Jiaxiang stretched out his hand and began to stroke his beard, frowning and thinking, "Let the other party take the initiative to surrender himself. This way, the credibility may be higher."

Li Junze shook his head. This was not a good idea and it was not reasonable.

Just imagine, who would plan for so long and then run over and fall into the trap before waiting for the Dali Temple to solve the case?

The key is that there is no evidence to identify the other party.

Gu Qiongsi saw Li Junze's expression and realized that he did not agree with this idea, so she thought about it and could only speak again, "What if we find an unrelated person who takes the initiative to report it because of a conflict with him?"
