Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"It's okay. Do you think I look like someone in trouble?" The emperor waved his hand, stood up as usual, walked back and forth two steps, and stood beside Li Junhao.

"I'm glad that your Majesty is fine. I'll take my leave now." Li Junhao came here this time just to verify his guess. Now that he knows that the emperor is not really ill, his purpose has been achieved.

He still had a lot of things to deal with next, so he didn't want to delay any longer.

"When you have time, go meet Concubine Shu. She hasn't agreed yet." The emperor advised.

Li Junhao nodded, then strode out of the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor sighed and said to Eunuch Chengping, "His temper is similar to that of the queen. I have no way to deal with them."

Eunuch Chengping smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that you have no choice, you just feel sorry for them."

"Humph, I just understand." The emperor was not annoyed after hearing what Cheng Ping said. Instead, he chuckled and sat back in his chair and asked, "Any news?"

Eunuch Chengping nodded, took his whisk and drove out the only two remaining palace servants in the hall, then said to the emperor,

"Your Majesty, all of Doctor Zhang's family members in the capital have disappeared.

Someone handed Doctor Zhang a letter, asking him to do as the letter said, and he would be able to see his family after the matter was completed. "

The emperor listened to Eunuch Chengping's words, as if he had expected it. He smacked his lips twice and said, "Tsk, the routine is really not new. Wang Zhuo has been playing dumb in front of me for so many years, but I didn't expect him to play a big trick on me."

This time, Eunuch Chengping did not dare to respond easily. He just lowered his head and waited quietly for the emperor's instructions.

"Is there any progress regarding the fifth brother's matter?" the emperor continued to ask.

Eunuch Chengping shook his head. "The leader of the Imperial Guards, Xie Ziming, has been observing the Bachelor's Mansion for quite some time, but he has not found anyone special entering the Bachelor's Mansion. However,"

Eunuch Chengping said this, and glanced at the emperor from the corner of his eye. Seeing that he did not seem displeased, he continued, "However, Chief Xie seems to have discovered that the servants in the scholar's mansion are a little unusual."

"What's unusual?"

"Some can't do their work, some can't even sweep the floor cleanly, and quite a few speak with accents from around Northern Yan. What's even more peculiar is that they are all big and strong, and they all have kung fu skills."

These things cannot be discovered under normal circumstances. It was Chief Xie who discovered the abnormalities and observed them carefully, and only then did he discover more abnormal situations.

"Bei Yan? Li Xingxian?" The emperor muttered in a low voice after hearing this, and the expression on his face became one of disbelief.

Why is it Li Xingxian? He supported me unconditionally back then, so why is he getting involved in this mess now?

If it was just one person with a Northern Yan accent, it could be said to be a coincidence, but the appearance of so many people with Northern Yan accents at the same time can only mean that there are some problems.

The first and only person the emperor thought of was his own younger brother Li Xingxian.

Although he is a member of the royal family, he has been stationed in Northern Yan for a long time to protect the security of the northern border of Great Chu. But why would he collude with Wang Zhuo?

"Continue to pay attention and increase manpower." The emperor said this slowly and then stood up from his chair.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Chengping agreed, and the secret guards followed Eunuch Chengping's wave and flashed out of the hall.

"Let's go back to the bedroom. Doctor Zhang should come over to take my pulse." As the emperor said this, he turned and walked towards the inner hall.

Eunuch Chengping sighed and quickly followed closely.

At this time, Wang Zhuo was playing chess alone in the living room. The board on which he played was half of the endgame he had played with Sun Xingzhi last time.

Although he was looking at the chessboard, his mind was still carefully thinking about what he had done so far.

See if there is any link that is not done well enough, or if there is anything that may be exposed.

"Master, Master," Ji Ping walked in from outside and called twice, which brought Wang Zhuo back to his senses.

"What's the matter? Tell me." He spoke with difficulty, his voice a little dry.

"Chief Hu needs to see you for something." Ji Ping quickly poured water for Wang Zhuo and handed it to him before saying this.

Chief Hu's name is Hu Ziping. He is the leader of all the servants in the mansion and is also the leader among the masters sent by Li Xingxian from Yanbei.

Wang Zhuo transferred all his people to Li Junze's mansion, and the vacancies in his own mansion were filled by these people who came to help temporarily.

The murder of the fifth prince Li Juncheng was committed by him and a few others.

It can be said that it was done cleanly and neatly, without leaving any clues to those people in the Dali Temple.

"Well, let him in." Wang Zhuo took a sip of tea and instructed Ji Ping.

Then, Hu Ziping came in quickly. He clasped his fists with Wang Zhuo and said, "Master Wang, a subordinate reported that the eleventh prince might go to the Si Mansion this afternoon. Do you think we should take action?"

According to Wang Zhuo's plan, they would kill all the princes one by one, and finally only Li Junze would be left who was qualified to inherit the throne.

Didn’t the emperor place Li Junze in a very low position? So he made all the princes who were higher in position than Li Junze disappear one by one.

Therefore, the next target they planned to attack was the eleventh prince Li Junsheng.

Even if he didn't leave the palace, they could still take action in the palace, but there would be some risks.

"Where did they get this information? Is it reliable?" Wang Zhuo asked cautiously.

"The servants of the Si Mansion said that all the servants in the mansion have been arranged to prepare dinner in the evening. The eleventh prince has already sent a message that he will visit around the hour of You." Chief Hu replied.

After he said that, he thought Wang Zhuo would immediately give the order to take action, but Wang Zhuo did not say anything. Instead, he picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea.

Hu Ziping was impatient. Seeing Wang Zhuo like this, he was already a little anxious, so he couldn't help but ask, "Master Wang, when do you think it would be best for us to take action?"

Wang Zhuo placed the teacup on the table, stood up from the chair with great effort, and then said, "No hurry, let's wait and see."

"Why...why? Such a good opportunity, are we just going to watch it?" Hu Ziping asked back immediately after hearing Wang Zhuo's words.
