Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 362 The smell of conspiracy

Yan Nangui kept an eye on the situation in Wang Zhuo and Li Junze's residence and the content transmitted by the carrier pigeons, but so far, there was no news...

No, no, Li Junhao's eyes widened instantly. Could it be that Wang Zhuo made such a big fuss in order to suppress Li Junze's imperial examination cheating case?

Thinking of this, he nodded to Chun Tao and said, "Go back and tell Concubine Shu that I know about this. Ask her to take good care of our father and take care of herself."

After hearing the order, Chuntao hurriedly left the East Palace again.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" Xiao Fuzi has been feeling panicky since he heard Chuntao's words just now.

The emperor is still in his prime and has always been in good health. Now that something like this has happened suddenly, anyone with a little common sense can sense that something is unusual.

Li Junhao pondered for a moment, thinking again about everything Chuntao had just said, and felt more and more uneasy.

Doctor Zhang is the most skilled doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and he has always been in charge of my father's health. Now even he is helpless. This matter is weird in every way.

He came to the study and wrote furiously. Soon he finished writing three letters. He put them into envelopes and sealed them one by one. Then he said to Sang Mo, "Send one to Lord Yan, one to Yu Sicong, and this one to Miss Gu."

Sang Mo agreed, knowing in his heart that this was a critical moment, so he said nothing and walked out quickly.

Li Junhao sat quietly behind the desk. Even Xiao Fuzi could not see any panic in him. However, Xiao Fuzi could clearly feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be very angry at this moment.

"Xiao Fuzi, it seems that we are still too kind."

Li Junhao said slowly, his expression turning a little colder, "This matter shouldn't have been dragged on for so long."

Xiao Fuzi nodded repeatedly, but he didn't know what to say, because he didn't dare to comment easily on what the prince said.

"Since my father is not in good health, I will take over the government affairs. Let's start with the search of the palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs two days ago."

Li Junhao continued with another sentence, and Xiao Fuzi immediately understood what Li Junhao meant.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Xiao Fuzi agreed and was about to go out.

"Call Zhong Renhai over to me first. I have something to ask him." Li Junhao's words sounded faintly at this time. Xiao Fuzi paused and turned back to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting on the tall chair. She unconsciously felt a sense of reverence for him.

Although he is only a teenager, he is really unique in doing things and can always control his emotions.

Of course, except when in front of Miss Gu.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiao Fuzi said, and went out quickly again.

Although they were going to find Zhong Renhai, Xiao Fuzi still needed to report to Eunuch Chengping in advance. Otherwise, even if Li Junhao was the crown prince, it would not be appropriate for him to be in charge of government affairs at this time.

In less than an incense stick of time, Li Junhao had only read two memorials when Li Juncheng and Li Junsheng arrived one after another.

"Brother Crown Prince, is our father okay?" Li Juncheng asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

The two of them were studying in the Imperial College just now. They must have just returned and did not enter the Qianqing Palace. Now they came to find me together.

After just a few days of not seeing him, Li Juncheng has changed a lot from what I saw before.

His cautious demeanor had now been completely restrained, replaced by the look of a young man full of vigor and vitality.

It’s a pity that in Li Junhao’s eyes, his little thoughts were clearly seen.

"I am the same as you. I did not see my father just now, and I don't know the specific situation."

Li Junhao spoke in a flat tone, waved at Li Junsheng, and handed him a memorial he had just read.

"Brother Prince, this..." Li Junsheng briefly read the memorial and looked at Li Junhao with some confusion.

"If Sheng'er were to handle this matter, what would you do?" Li Junhao asked casually.

"What's the matter? Let me see..." Li Juncheng also came over puzzledly, wanting to see the contents of the memorial.

However, Li Junsheng folded the memorial without hesitation and handed it back to Li Junhao respectfully.

"My royal brother has limited knowledge and dares not make rash judgments. I would like to ask for your guidance, my prince brother." Li Junsheng bowed and said seriously.

The matter in the memorial was nothing else but the result of the palace search by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The first thing listed was the discovery of banned drugs in the Yuchen Palace.

This matter was neither big nor small. The death of Concubine Hui's child was the trigger of this matter, but the result of searching the palace was nothing. The only unexpected gain was the incident in Yuchen Palace.

If it is not handled properly, it will be difficult to explain to Concubine Hui.

Li Juncheng's expression suddenly turned bad, and he asked angrily, "What do you mean, my brother?"

"Fifth brother, don't you know that memorials cannot be read casually?" Li Junsheng was not afraid at all and retorted as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You, you can see it, so why can't I see it?"

"Okay, fifth brother, stop making trouble. Father is in this condition now. You should go back to your residence and copy books and recite scriptures for him, and pray for his early recovery." Li Junhao spoke in time and stopped Li Juncheng who was about to get angry.

"Brother Prince..." Li Juncheng clearly felt that Li Junhao was biased towards Li Junsheng, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.

He has always known that the prince favors Li Junsheng. There is nothing he can do about it. It's because their relationship has taken a step further. In the past, he was just a little follower and had no right to be angry.

But now it’s different. He is now the Prince of Duan and no longer the prince of the most humble status.

But they still treat him like this, how can he accept it?

Ever since he was canonized as Prince Duan, some officials' attitudes towards him have changed greatly, which made him feel somewhat complacent.

The most important thing is that his uncle specifically found him and said that he was now the only prince who could compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

So everyone is actually very optimistic about themselves and wants to perform well.

Why didn't my situation improve at all after I came in front of these two people?

Seeing Li Juncheng's expression, Li Junhao still asked calmly, "Why, Fifth Brother, are you unwilling to pray for Father?"

"No, no, I will go now. Goodbye."

Of course Li Juncheng couldn't say he didn't want to, because that would be jumping into a pit.
