Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Li Xingxian was so heartbroken at that time. He couldn't believe how much injustice Wang Yuyan had suffered in the palace over the years. She was afraid that he would worry about her and pretended to be ruthless to him in front of him.

Oh my God, how could I be so stupid that I only discovered the truth at this time.

Bachelor Wang also beat his chest and stamped his feet, accusing Wang Yuyan of being ignorant and bringing the entire Bachelor's Mansion into an irretrievable disaster.

Next, they spent half a day discussing their future plans in detail. Now that things had come to this, there was only one way left for them.

Although Li Junze is not his child, he is Wang Yuyan's only child. Only if Li Junze ascends the throne and becomes emperor, will Wang Yuyan and himself have the possibility of being together.

Therefore, after returning home, Li Xingxian arranged for Wei Hai to pack up the belongings to be returned to Northern Yan, while he went back to the study and wrote another letter to Wang Zhuo.

In the letter, he described in detail the timelines of all actions and how he would cooperate with their plans.

He also wrote that he would leave a few people in the capital to send pigeons to Beiyan to convey any news happening in the capital at any time.

In this way, no matter what happens, he can know it first and respond in advance.

After writing the letter, he read it again and Wang Yuyan's beautiful face appeared in his mind again.

Thinking that it might not be long before he could be with her forever, an indescribable excitement welled up in his heart.

This feeling that has been suppressed for more than ten or twenty years makes Li Xingxian a little dazed now, as if this is what he has been waiting for all these years.

He handed the written letter to Wei Hai personally, and reminded him to hand it to Master Wang personally and not to let anyone else do it.

Wei Hai nodded gently, turned and left.

When Wang Zhuo received the letter, he had just taken medicine and was about to take a nap.

After he had Wei Hai sent away, he opened the letter. After reading it, a smile of triumph appeared on his face.

He casually handed the letter to Sun Xingzhi who was beside him.

Li Xingxian, ah Li Xingxian, there is a reason why the late emperor never considered letting you succeed to the throne.

How can a person who acts on emotion achieve great things?

However, at this time, another servant came to him from outside the door and reported that he was a man from Jinzhou and had something to report.

Wang Zhuo couldn't help but frown again. He had just sent a letter to Li Junze, so how come there was news now? Did something happen in Jinzhou?

"Let him in." Wang Zhuo said loudly, and then a man dressed as a farmer walked in.

He knelt on the ground with a plop and reported to Wang Zhuo tremblingly,

"Master Wang, help me. Something terrible has happened to His Royal Highness Prince An in Jinzhou."

The man saw that there were other people beside Master Wang, so he did not say what happened, but just summarized it as a major event.

Wang Zhuo knew his concerns, so he said, "What happened? Feel free to tell me."

This means treating Sun Xingzhi as one's own and speaking frankly to him no matter what happens.

The man finally relaxed. "Lord Ren Yongchang sent me here to tell you that Jinzhou's disaster relief grain has been tampered with. Almost half of the grain has been replaced with sand."

Wang Zhuo accidentally knocked the medicine bowl on the corner of the table next to him to the ground. "What?"

Wang Zhuo felt dizzy. Such a big thing had happened, but why was there no news from Li Junze?

The man carefully looked at Wang Zhuo's dark face and hesitated whether to continue talking about the next thing.

When Sun Xingzhi saw Wang Zhuo's expression, he immediately comforted him, "Master, this matter is very strange. There must be something hidden. I believe that the news from His Royal Highness Prince An will be passed on in the next two days."

Wang Zhuo shook his head. He knew Li Junze too well. This kind of thing must have been done by him.

Before leaving, I specifically reminded him to do a good job in disaster relief this time and not to let any trouble occur, and he agreed to it.

I didn't expect such a big thing to happen.

"Hey, when did this happen? Was it Niu Penghai who discovered it?" Wang Zhuo shook his head at Sun Xingzhi, and then asked the person who brought the message.

"It happened two days ago. I rode here as fast as I could. At that time, the relief grain had just arrived, and Lord Niu brought all the officials of Jinzhou to count the grain. Then, they discovered this matter."

There are so many meanings in these words, and Wang Zhuo slowly digested them.

But the more I thought about it, the more depressed I felt.

The relief grain was just delivered to Jinzhou two days ago. This kind of thing itself is weird. If something like this happens again, even if we don’t know what exactly happened, we can guess that Li Junze must have acquiesced.

"Is there anything else?" Wang Zhuo saw that the man had finished speaking and did not seem to have any intention of leaving, so he continued to ask.

"Oh, His Royal Highness Prince An took a woman as a concubine in Jinzhou. It was this concubine who came up with the idea of ​​using ducks to curb the locust plague in Jinzhou in just three days."

The man dared to continue speaking, but after saying this, without waiting for Wang Zhuo to respond, he continued,

"That woman is none other than Xie Cheng'an's concubine, Aunt Gu."

With a "thump", Master Wang, who had stood up, fell heavily back onto the chair behind him and closed his eyes with difficulty.

Seeing that the man had no more news to report, Sun Xingzhi dismissed him and then asked cautiously, "Father, are you okay?"

This cry quickly calmed down Wang Zhuo's turbulent blood.

He slowly opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed Sun Xingzhi's hand, and sighed deeply.

"Zhi'er, Li Junze is ultimately a hopeless case. We have planned so much for him, but he is destroying his own future. Sigh..."

That’s right, Sun Xingzhi was the son born to the woman he kept outside, and he was twenty years younger than Wang Yucheng.

However, this son was the child he was most satisfied with. He was not only studious but also smart.

I didn't do anything to help him win the third place in the imperial examination this time. He got to this point entirely on his own merits. Only then can I keep him by my side openly.

"Father, you have taken care of His Royal Highness Prince An for so many years. Don't you know his character? In order to get to that position, he can do anything. It's not surprising that he can do such a thing."

Sun Xingzhi hit the nail on the head and described Li Junze's character, which is also the reason why he has always looked down on Li Junze.
