Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 343 Searching the Palace

Wang Zhuo called the new housekeeper of the scholar's mansion, a middle-aged man named Ji Ping, and said, "Go and help me find out the situation in the palace. Keep an eye on it at all times. If there is any situation, you must report it as soon as possible."

Ji Ping bowed, agreed and went out.

Sun Xingzhi was silent for a moment, but still asked, "Father, could it be that Concubine Yu was the one who did this?"

He couldn't figure out for a moment why Wang Yucheng and Wang Zhuo were so worried that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would find something in the Yuchen Palace.

Wang Zhuo shook his head. "No, but Yuyan has been a bold and reckless person since she was a child. The more she is forbidden to do something, the more she will do it. So we are actually worried that she has done something behind her back and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has discovered something bad in the palace."

"Oh, so that's the case. If there's nothing else, Zhier will go back to His Highness." After Sun Xingzhi understood, he didn't delay any longer.

"Well, that's fine. You should worry about me more and tell me if there is anything. He is the future of our Wang family. Do you understand?"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Wang Zhuo had to remind him again.

Sun Xingzhi had been brainwashed like this since he was a child, and now when he heard Wang Zhuo's words again, he couldn't help but feel some resistance in his heart.

Why must my own abilities depend on Li Junze? I can definitely earn a bright future with my own abilities.

But he answered very respectfully, "Yes, father, I saved it."

After seeing Sun Xingzhi off, Wang Zhuo began to think carefully about the situation of Yuchen Palace.

Normally, since something happened to Concubine Hui, Concubine Yu became the only pregnant concubine in the palace, and naturally received more attention from the Emperor. However, this also made her the biggest suspect in this incident.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to thoroughly investigate this incident and will certainly not let Yuchen Palace off easily. If Yuyan says that there is something that is forbidden in the palace, it might be the medicine that I got for her.

However, if she is a thoughtful person, she should be able to deal with the powder properly.

Wang Zhuo rubbed his brows again. Things were developing too fast and changing in a flash. He had to make up his mind again and put everything forward.

Fortunately, I have been preparing for so long and everything has been prepared in advance.

It is time to contact King Yan so that he can know his arrangements in advance. In addition, it is also time to let him know that Yuyan is pregnant with his child.

Although this is not true, at this moment, this news is the biggest bargaining chip that can make Prince Yan Li Xingxian unconditionally support his actions.

By the time it was done, even if he found out it wasn't true, the dust had already settled and it would be too late.

At this time, Ji Ping hurried in from outside and said anxiously, "Master, the operation of Suzhou Governor Jian Liangce has failed."

"What?" Wang Zhuo was surprised. Why did such a careful plan fail?

"Please take a look." Ji Ping presented a small bamboo tube to Wang Zhuo with both hands.

It was the news sent by carrier pigeon from Suzhou.

He unfolded it anxiously, and the contents of the note really surprised him. It turned out that there were so many experts lurking around Jian Liangce, which completely ruined his plan.

But why are there so many experts around Jian Liangce?

Could it be that the prince had heard some rumors and made arrangements in advance? Is Li Junhao really that powerful? Can he guess his next move?

Seeing that Wang Zhuo didn't say a word, Ji Ping could only ask, "Master, what are they going to do next?"

Should I withdraw or continue to wait for the opportunity?

"Lie dormant and wait for the opportunity." Wang Zhuo instructed Ji Ping without thinking too much.

"Yes." After receiving the reply, Ji Ping immediately started to send carrier pigeons to deliver the message.

Wang Zhuo was feeling more and more uneasy. The action had just begun and he encountered resistance. This would not do. He had to find a way to quickly reverse the situation.

Yan Nangui also quickly received the message from Sang Mo, saying that he should pay more attention to the carrier pigeons traveling between Wang Zhuo and Li Junze's mansions.

This is what Deputy General Niu is most willing to do, as it fully satisfies his evil taste of peeping into other people's secrets.

So, Deputy General Niu brought twelve guards and wandered around the two mansions day and night.

Of course, they changed their appearance and clothes, and even put on night clothes and hid in the big trees around the mansion at night.

If you see pigeons flying by, be sure to try to intercept them before they enter the courtyard wall.

For those of them who are good at martial arts, this is basically not a difficult task.

After all, when carrier pigeons are about to enter the palace, they will not fly too high, and will even find a place to rest.

"Once you find a carrier pigeon carrying a message, write it down immediately, send it back to the Dali Temple, and release the pigeon immediately. Got it?"

Yan Nangui saw Deputy General Niu rubbing his hands in anticipation and gave him another warning out of concern.

"Hey, I got it. I understand. Hehe..." Deputy General Niu smiled so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. After he finished speaking, he left with a group of guards.

Yan Nangui looked at the message sent to him by Sang Mo. Being a smart man, he knew not to rely too much on carrier pigeons, so he asked someone specifically to deliver the message to him.

The more he read on, the more resentful he felt in his heart. Since they had sent him a letter, but didn't reveal anything about what was happening in Xiangyang City, didn't they know that I was worried about them?

Fortunately, on the second day, which was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Li Junhao brought Sang Mo and his friends back to the capital, as well as all the truth they had investigated in Xiangyang City.

They didn't even have time to rest, but went straight into the palace to meet the emperor in person.

As for the results of their investigation in Xiangyang City, only a few of them knew about it.

Li Junhao came out of the palace and breathed a sigh of relief. He took Sang Mo all the way back to the Li Mansion.

However, this time, due to days of hard work and rapid travel, they did not notice that there was a pair of eyes hidden behind them.

Soon, Wen Jiaxiang told Li Junze where Li Junhao lived outside the palace.

"I was wondering why he hadn't been in the East Palace recently. It turns out he had built a mansion like this outside the palace, and he kept it so low-key. No wonder we couldn't find it before."

Li Junze suddenly realized that he really didn't expect Li Junhao to live in the Li Mansion.

Because that mansion, both in terms of its location and regulations, was seriously inconsistent with his status and position.
