Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Li Junhao didn't care at all. He elegantly picked up the pieces on the chessboard and said,

"Since they haven't taken any action, let's wait another day for the news to ferment and see if there will be any unexpected surprises."

Yan Nangui could only nod helplessly. He had been waiting all night and was really exhausted. Not only was he physically tired, but his mind was also tired and confused.

"When you are free one day, please invite Your Highness to come to my house to accompany my father. He is very good at chess." Yan Nangui said to Li Junhao with a smile.

Yan Beiwang, the father, was an old man when he had a son. He had Yan Nangui when he was in his forties. So even though Yan Nangui is only in his twenties now, his father has already returned home for two years.

The key point is that Yan Nangui's old father is also one of the few old-fashioned people in the Great Chu Kingdom. He is so old-fashioned that even the emperor couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

However, Li Junhao naturally knew all this, and he also knew that Yan Beiwang's chess skills were really good. As his master, Grandpa Yu could only barely draw with Yan Beiwang.

I have so many things to do now, why should I go and seek trouble?

When I have free time, I can bring my family there to play chess and have a few meals at the same time.

"I'll come over when I'm free later. You've been tired all night, so take a good rest during the day and stay put for now. I'll be back too." Li Junhao stood up and smoothed the wrinkles on the hem of his clothes.

"Yes, I'll see you off, Your Highness." Yan Nangui bowed and made way for the exit. Li Junhao took Sang Mo out.

Sang Mo walked out and then quietly returned, whispering to Yan Nangui, "Master Yan, have you finished reading Master Bao's detective collection?"

Yan Nangui nodded, but before he could say anything, Sang Mo continued, "Your Highness just got another collection of detective stories, and it's said to be very exciting."

Yan Nangui was already feeling a little sleepy, and could barely open his eyes, but when he heard these words, he immediately perked up, "Really?"

"It seems to be true. Your Highness just finished reading it, but the name is a bit long and I didn't remember it." After Sang Mo finished speaking, he turned around and trotted away with Li Junhao.

Yan Nangui stayed where he was, feeling extremely anxious. Damn Sang Mo, saying this to him without any context. How could he possibly sleep?

Li Junze also did not rest all night, but he was waiting for the people who went to look for Gu Qiongsi to come back.

About an hour after they went out, the two of them came back together. After telling him about the situation on Gu Qiongsi's side, Li Junze had someone take them away.

At the same time, he ordered people to quietly kill the two men.

There was no way. He couldn't let others know about Gu Qiongsi's affairs, otherwise he would be considered a traitor in front of Wang Zhuo.

After doing all this, Li Junze felt sleepy and yawned twice. Just as he was about to go back to his room to catch up on some sleep, Wen Jiaxiang came in hurriedly from outside.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, someone came from the palace just now and said that the Emperor had a relapse of his old illness last night. Please get ready and go to the palace first." After Wen Jiaxiang saluted Li Junze, he couldn't wait to say.

Here it comes, here it comes, Li Junze’s heart kept shouting, this must be something that was arranged in Wang Zhuo’s plan.

As expected, it was similar to what he had guessed, so he started to take action.

Li Junze did not show his expression, but anxiously found someone, tidied himself up a little, changed his clothes, and then followed the eunuch into the palace.

The Imperial Palace, at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

At this time, many concubines and palace servants have gathered. It seems that they have heard about the emperor's illness. Now they all have worried looks on their faces, waiting for the emperor's call.

However, the Qianqing Palace was quiet at this time, without a single movement, and there was a dead silence.

Li Junze arrived here almost at the same time as Li Junhao, and immediately caused quite a commotion among the crowd.

They all bowed and greeted Li Junhao, while Li Junze watched carefully from the side with cold eyes.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart, so let Li Junhao show off for a few more days. If the things arranged by his grandfather go smoothly, he probably won't be happy for a few days.

After a while, Eunuch Chengping walked out of the Qianqing Palace quietly, walked in front of everyone, and said, "The emperor is tired, all the masters should kneel down and pay their respects first."

This means that the emperor doesn't want to see anyone now, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

With the help of Aunt Qimeng, Concubine Yu pushed aside the crowd and slowly walked to Eunuch Chengping. She glanced at Li Junhao and Li Junze, and then said,

"Eunuch Chengping, this palace and His Highness the Third Prince are very worried about the emperor's health. Please convey that we will help the emperor chant sutras and pray for his speedy recovery."

Yupin spoke hesitantly, and all the concubines agreed with her.

"Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen. The emperor is under the care of Consort Shu and Consort Hui, and will surely get better soon."

Eunuch Chengping politely responded to everyone's request to see the emperor.

Li Junhao already felt that something was unusual. Even if his father's old illness had relapsed, it was impossible for him not to see him. What's more, if Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui went to serve his father together, wouldn't the harem be leaderless?

How could my father, who always pays attention to rules, make such a decision?

However, he did not ask any more questions, but followed everyone out of the Qianqing Palace and returned to the East Palace temporarily.

Sure enough, Concubine Shu's personal maid Chuntao was waiting at the gate of the East Palace. Xiao Fuzi saw Chuntao hiding in the corner at a glance and quickly touched Li Junhao's arm.

He signaled the other person with his eyes to go into the East Palace quickly and stop hanging around outside.

Chuntao immediately understood and followed the two of them into the East Palace.

"Your Highness, the Queen asked me to come here and tell you a message. The Emperor's condition is very serious this time, so you should be prepared at any time." Chun Tao said nervously.

"What? How could it suddenly become so serious?" Upon hearing this, Li Junhao immediately understood that the emperor's condition had become very serious.

"The other servants are not very clear about it, but Her Majesty said that Imperial Physician Zhang was also helpless after the diagnosis today. Later, several imperial physicians consulted and came to the same conclusion, mainly because they could not find the cause of the disease." Chun Tao's voice trembled when she said these words.

Because, even as humble as she was, she could already feel the turbulent atmosphere in the palace, as if a storm was about to come.

Li Junhao looked in the direction of the Qianqing Palace in a daze. This situation was really beyond his expectations.
