Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Eunuch Fu, what are you doing?" Chenxiang couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, don't mention it," Xiao Fuzi pulled at the soiled hem of her clothes and pouted, "It's because Chief Sang hasn't come back yet, and His Highness has something to pass on, so we came here."

"Oh, then, come in, come in." When Chenxiang heard him say that there was a message, he quickly led him into the house.

"What's the matter, Eunuch Fu, what's the matter with His Highness?" Gu Xunwei asked nervously.

"Oh, it's not an important matter. He has already gone to the Dali Temple in advance and went directly to Louwailou. Miss Gu will go directly to Louwailou to find His Highness later."

What this means is that he can't accompany her to Louwailou, and she has to go there to find him by herself.

When Gu Xunwei heard this, she nodded in understanding, "Okay, thank you, Eunuch Fu."

Gu Xunwei was a little confused, but she didn't show it on her face. After Chenxiang sent Xiao Fuzi away, she was still thinking about this matter secretly.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Chenxiang came back and saw Gu Xunwei with her head down in deep thought, so he asked in confusion.

"Originally, I was going to go to Louwailou alone, but His Highness specifically asked Xiao Fuzi to come and tell me. This matter is a bit strange."

Gu Xunwei didn't look up, still wondering if Li Junhao had other intentions.

Chenxiang had already started to tie her hair, and soon, under her skillful hands, Gu Xunwei appeared beautifully in the bronze mirror in front of her.

She has bright eyes, white teeth, and a radiant look. Unlike her usual loosely combed hair, today Chenxiang has tied her hair into a bun, which makes her look refreshing.

"Miss, don't think about it. When we get to Louwailou, you can just ask His Highness directly, which set of jewelry do you plan to wear?" Chenxiang looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he reminded her.

"Well, just pick any piece of jewelry that His Highness gave me earlier."

Gu Xunwei then looked up and took a look at herself in the bronze mirror.

"Miss, although those jewels were given to you by His Highness, they really... don't match the clothes you are wearing today."

Chenxiang still found a lame excuse and almost said something to belittle His Highness's vision.

"Well, I know that, but it's not good to not wear it all the time. I'll wear one today and let His Highness know what his taste is like."

Gu Xunwei grinned. If she didn't wear it, he would definitely think that she didn't like the gift he gave her. But after wearing it once, he would probably realize that his taste was not that good.

Chenxiang couldn't help laughing after hearing this and nodded. Only then did he understand what Gu Xunwei meant.

When Gu Xunwei and the other arrived at Louwailou with the veil on, the shopkeeper was already waiting for them, "Miss, please go upstairs."

Gu Xunwei nodded and followed the waiter to the third floor, the private room where Li Junhao had met her before.

Inside, Li Junhao was half-closing the window and looking through the gap at the situation on the shopping street outside.

Gu Xunwei indeed sensed something unusual, and after the waiter brought them in, he turned around and went downstairs to prepare wine and food.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

Gu Xunwei also came to Li Junhao's side and glanced at the street.

"Well, when I left the mansion today, I found that I was followed. For safety reasons, I did not go back to pick you up."

Li Junhao pointed at a sneaky man outside. He was sitting bored on a stone pier at the bridge head not far away, looking towards the entrance of Louwailou from time to time.

"He has been following me since I left the Li Mansion. He was still following me after I left the Dali Temple, so I asked Xiao Fuzi to go back and pass on a message to you."

Gu Xunwei looked at the man and said, "Your Highness should have guessed who he belongs to, right?"

Li Junhao nodded. "I just went to the Dali Temple. Yan Nangui has already put several mansions under surveillance, including the messages delivered by the carrier pigeons in their mansions."

"Suzhou Governor Jian Liangce was also attacked two days ago, but because the people I arranged to be with him have not been withdrawn, they were unable to take action."

"I'm worried that they might do something extreme, so you have to be more careful."

Li Junhao habitually held Gu Xunwei's hand and gave her some instructions with some concern.

"Well, Wangyu Tower has closed down. Since the situation is so serious now, let them rest for a while." Gu Xunwei said.

"After tonight, we two shouldn't meet for the time being," Li Junhao added.

Turning his gaze away from the window, he looked at Gu Xunwei's face reluctantly.

At this time, she had taken off her veil, and her beautiful face was so close to him that he could kiss her lips if he just lowered his head.

However, he licked his lips and suppressed the impulse.

"I asked Bai Zhi to dig a small hole under the wall you often climb. If there is any message that needs to be delivered, you can put it there."

When Gu Xunwei saw Li Junhao's nervous look, she knew that he was afraid of implicating her, and she didn't want to drag her down, so she agreed.

"Okay." Li Junhao nodded. Only then did he notice the golden hairpin in her hair. It was so shiny that it was hard not to notice it.

It doesn’t look good. How could I have thought that set of jewelry was good-looking at that time?

Before he asked Gu Xunwei to take off the hairpin, Gu Xunwei noticed his gaze, reached out and touched the hairpin, then smiled and said,

"I promised Your Highness last time that I would wear it next time, but after all, Wei'er couldn't match the elegance of that set of jewelry, so I had to choose one to wear. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Gu Xunwei found a way for him to back down.

"Well, I won't give you jewelry like that again in the future." Li Junhao nodded, took her hand and sat down at the table together.

"I originally wanted to bring you here to enjoy the moon, but it seems like I'll have completely lost interest today."

Li Junhao was a little unhappy. With a person like that downstairs, there might be other people he hadn't discovered yet. As a result, they didn't even dare to open the window.

"Brother Xin, there is still a lot of time ahead, we don't have to rush."

After hearing what Gu Xunwei said, Li Junhao felt sweet in his heart. Is this the promise that Wei'er made to him?

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. Since we can't enjoy the moon or go out to enjoy the lanterns, let's eat more delicious food today." Li Junhao quickly let it go.

Smiling, he called the waiter over and said, "Bring up all the famous dishes from Louwailou. Let's enjoy a feast today."
