Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

His words pleased Li Junhao very much, and he personally stood up and helped Jian Liangce up.

Sang Mo then brought the tray in front of him. On it was a token that could lead directly to the East Palace without a messenger, as well as a dagger made of fine iron, gold as a reward, and several jars of incense from Wangyu Tower.

When Yan Nangui saw this, he immediately touched his waist. Fortunately, he did not return the token given to him last time, otherwise he would have been at a greater loss.

When Jian Liangce saw this, he felt warm in his heart. His Highness even gave him a dagger. He must have known that his trip would be dangerous.

"After Lord Jian returns to Suzhou, if you encounter any difficult problems, please remember to communicate with me. Also, let Shadow follow you back to Suzhou, as his hometown is Suzhou."

Li Junhao said with a smile.

Jian Liangce had already stood up and wanted to kneel down again to express his gratitude, but was stopped by Li Junhao.

He knew in his heart that Jian Liangce and his two witnesses might encounter any kind of trouble when they returned from the capital, so he made preparations in advance.

Then, Li Junhao called Yan Nangui over, and Sang Mo placed another tray in front of him.

"Lord Yan has been wronged this time. I naturally understand this in my heart. This can be regarded as compensation for Lord Yan." Li Junhao turned his gaze to Yan Nangui.

The other party also knelt down hurriedly to express his gratitude, and then took the tray. On it were golden ingots, which felt heavy in his hands.

He was fined half a year's salary, and these gold ingots were worth at least three or four years' salary.

No, he was not angry because he was fined his salary, but because they did nothing wrong in this matter. Moreover, Li Junze killed so many people just because he was a prince and had the protection of Concubine Yu, but in the end he was only confined to house arrest. How could this not make people feel disheartened?

"Your Highness, that's not what I meant. What I meant was," Yan Nangui's lips curled up a little, but he hurriedly explained.

Sang Mo said to Yan Nangui, "Sir Yan, His Highness knows that you have worked hard this time. Even though the Emperor has punished you, we have actually won the battle."

Yan Nangui was puzzled, but he didn't want to ask any more questions. He could only bow and thank Li Junhao. He decided in his heart that he would find an opportunity to pull Sang Mo over and ask him about it in the future.

After the two of them left, Li Junhao asked Xiao Fuzi to help him pack up, and then he rushed to the residence of his grandfather Simaode overnight.

Si Maode is actually not too old, only sixty-three years old. He is at the age when he needs experience and brains. The key is that all the members of the Si family are long-lived. Now his father is still alive, that is, Li Junhao's great-grandfather Si Qian, also the former prime minister, is still alive and in good spirits.

Hearing that Li Junhao had arrived, Si Qian also came out with the help of Simao De and met him in the reception room.

Simao De looked at the handsome face that resembled his deceased eldest daughter, and felt mixed emotions. "Hao'er, Grandfather hasn't seen you in the morning court for several days. Did something happen?"

Li Junhao bowed to the two of them one by one, and then told them everything that had happened outside in the past few days. Simao De listened with anger on his face, "I really couldn't have seen before that Li Junze would do such a thing."

"Fortunately, when Steward Liu's badge was lost for no reason, he reported it to us. Father was cautious and let him stay in the mansion for more than two months. Later, when he saw that nothing happened, he relaxed. They really had good intentions."

"Tsk, boss, you have to be careful with your language. If outsiders hear this, you'll be guilty of slandering the royal family." Si Qian cautiously reminded his eldest son.

"Yes, son, I will follow your teachings." Simaode immediately followed suit and apologized to his father.

Li Junhao asked Simao De, "Grandfather, have you seen the eleventh brother recently?"

"Oh, I haven't seen her for a long time. Your aunt is in poor health and Sheng'er has been taking care of his mother. So, it has been more than a month since I last saw her." Simaode said after thinking for a while.

"Well, Hao'er has not been in the palace recently, so Xiao Shiyi's martial arts test cannot be carried out as usual. So please ask grandfather to arrange a master for him. It is best not to interrupt it." Li Junhao said.

Simaode nodded after listening. It was not convenient for him to ask about the matter between Li Junhao and the emperor, but since Haoer said that he was not in the palace recently, something must have happened.

"Okay, I will let your Master Wuzi enter the palace tomorrow." Simaode thought for a while and then said this.

Master Xiao Wuzi was the master who taught Li Junhao martial arts back then.

"Thank you, grandpa." Li Junhao bowed his head in thanks. Just as he was about to ask about his grandmother's health, a nanny came in after reporting.

"I heard that the Crown Prince has come. When the discussion is over, please go and see me."

The nanny spoke to the few people respectfully.

Simaode waved his hand and asked her to go out first. Hao'er had just entered the mansion when she heard that he had not slept yet so late.

"Hao'er, this matter has been almost dealt with. Do you still want to live outside the palace? Won't your father say anything?" Si Qian asked with some confusion.

"Hao'er went out of the palace to do some work. He wrote a letter to the emperor. There will be no problem. Great-grandfather, don't worry."

"Well, there is nothing that cannot be discussed between father and son. If some things are said openly, there will be less suspicion." Si Qian was still worried and continued to remind him.

Li Junhao nodded again, "Hao'er will follow grandfather's teachings."

Then the three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Si Qian went back to rest early on the grounds of being tired. He had been away from the court for too long, and for many things he could only give an opinion at most. He was no longer familiar with some people and things.

"Your great-grandfather, as you know, has always been cautious. As the crown prince, you still have to have your own temper sometimes. Your grandfather supports this." Simaode watched his father leave before he spoke to Li Junhao.

"Yes."

"Hao'er, what do you plan to do regarding the matter between you and Li Junze? Are you going to just let him do whatever he wants?" Simaode asked Li Junhao doubtfully.

From the tone of his words just now, it seemed that he did not say how he planned to act, or how he needed the Sifu to cooperate with him.

Si Fu has been gathering his strength for so many years. Although he does not want to participate in party struggles, he will still choose to spare no effort to protect the only child of his deceased daughter.

"He has already lost, there is no need for us to take action." Li Junhao said in a flat tone.
