Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

When Gu Xunwei said this, her face turned red and she couldn't say anything else.

Li Junhao was already delighted after hearing the first half of the sentence. Seeing that she stammered for a long time and couldn't say the second half, he didn't rush her. Instead, he rubbed her fingers with his warm hands, encouraging her to speak her mind boldly.

Gu Xunwei then closed her eyes and said resignedly, "However, the marriage can only be announced after His Highness is no longer the crown prince. Moreover, it cannot be known to others for the time being."

After hearing this, Li Junhao felt relieved. He thought she was going to make some request, but it turned out to be this.

He naturally knew Gu Xunwei's concerns. With her status, she always felt that she was not worthy of him, and she didn't dare to dream of the position of his legitimate wife.

She should give herself some time to see if she is sincere to her.

"Okay, it's up to you, Wei'er." Li Junhao said with a smile, and agreed unconditionally to Gu Xunwei's request.

"Well, now that I am still the crown prince, how should we get along?" Li Junhao continued to ask Gu Xunwei with a smile.

"It starts from emotion and ends with etiquette. I think Your Highness doesn't need Wei'er to teach you about such things." Gu Xunwei looked up and saw Li Junhao looking at her, and quickly turned her head to the side.

But she showed her red earlobe in front of Li Junhao.

He swallowed hard, then struggled to move his eyes away from the almost translucent earlobe.

Wei'er has accepted herself now. After so much patience, she finally got the result she wanted.

He was extremely happy in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't be impatient, so he nodded in understanding, "Okay, I'll do it, Wei'er."

After listening to his words, Gu Xunwei felt more and more that something was wrong. Why did he always say that he would listen to her? Shouldn't she be the one to listen to him?

In the Great Chu State, although the status of women was not too humble, the husband was still the primary authority between husband and wife. Moreover, he was the crown prince. This would not work in the long run.

"Your Highness, Prince An is returning to the capital soon after his disaster relief work in Jinzhou. Do you have any plans on your side?" Gu Xunwei put aside her own random thoughts and turned the conversation to business.

"I have already obtained the Book of All People and have quietly placed it on the desk of Elder Yang. I believe those leaders will come to the capital soon. By then, the court will surely be very exciting."

Li Junhao reached out and refilled the cup in front of Gu Xunwei with hot tea, then he grabbed her delicate hand and played with it in his palm.

"Lord Yang is a person who loves to stand up for the weak. When he sees the Wanmin Book, he will definitely not sit idly by. When those leaders enter the capital, they will go to Lord Yang's mansion as soon as possible."

Gu Xunwei nodded. The person that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had found, Elder Yang, was very suitable, because many people knew that Elder Yang never took sides in his life, and everything he did was based on the will of the people.

Although he is now retired, he is still active in the market and has the best understanding of public opinion.

When Wangyu Tower held its fragrance tasting competition, it was also Yang Ge Lao who was invited to host it.

Even now, Yang Ge Lao is also a regular customer of Wangyu Tower. Every month, Shopkeeper Bai will send some special incense to him in addition to his orders, for him to taste.

"Wang Zhuo, on the other hand, has been a little restless recently. It seems that he has gotten involved with the King of Yan."

In fact, three-tenths of what Li Junhao said were guesses, and the remaining seven-tenths were reliable information in his hands.

"Prince Yan? Li Xingxian?" Gu Xunwei asked puzzledly.

She was actually very unfamiliar with this name, but Li Junhao had just mentioned it a few days ago, so she had an impression of it. As for the person, she had never seen him before.

"Yes, he is my father's younger brother, four years younger than my father. He is now stationed in the Northern Yan area, with a large number of troops and prisoners in service. He is a force that cannot be underestimated."

Li Junhao explained to her, "In fact, they had a very good relationship before. Wang Zhuo was the teacher of King Yan. But this time, something seemed to have happened, and their relationship became unusual."

Gu Xunwei didn't understand what was going on, so she stared at him seriously, waiting for him to explain it to her.

"I have someone in Prince Yan's mansion. He saw a painting in Prince Yan's study. It was painted by Prince Yan himself. The person in the painting looks like Concubine Yu."

"Concubine Yu? The mother of His Royal Highness Prince An?" Gu Xunwei asked again.

"Weier has a really good memory. She has memorized all these people. They are Li Junze's mother and the biggest beneficiary after killing my mother."

At this point, Gu Xunwei had almost understood what was going on. His Highness was suspecting that something had happened between Prince Yan and Concubine Yu, which led to Prince Yan hanging Concubine Yu's portrait in his study without regard for taboos.

His Highness has already determined in his heart that the people who killed the Queen were Wang Zhuo and Concubine Yu, so he will certainly not show mercy this time.

"It seems that Prince An's disaster relief work was completed smoothly this time, but in fact, there are still many hidden secrets. Any one of them can ruin him forever. Add to that Yang Gelao's letter to the people, and it all depends on my father's attitude."

After hearing what Li Junhao said, Gu Xunwei stood up from her chair. She couldn't believe that as a concubine in the harem, something had happened between her and the emperor's brother. This was simply unimaginable in her mind.

Li Junhao naturally knew the shock in her heart, "Do you find it hard to accept such a thing? That's because you don't know the dirty things in the harem."

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to stay in the harem.

He could not change the harem. The closer he was to power, the more intense the struggles behind the people became. This was not something that one person could change, not even his father, so he chose to stay away.

Gu Xunwei looked at Li Junhao, and the other party saw the distressed look in her eyes again.

It was just like the look his mother had given him in his memory, making him feel extremely at peace.

At least now the other party has agreed to his pursuit, which means that their relationship has become one step closer.

As long as we take it step by step, Wei'er and I will definitely be together.

"Wei'er, don't regret what you said just now. I will not let you wait too long." Li Junhao suddenly said this.

As expected, Gu Xunwei's originally distressed look immediately turned into embarrassment.

She naturally knew what Li Junhao meant. "I'm not in a hurry. Just do what you want to do. I... will always support you."

After saying this, Gu Xunwei chose to lower her head. This was the first time she said such embarrassing words to Li Junhao, and her face had turned red.
