Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Sun Xingzhi didn't want to say this at first, but since Li Junze asked, he decided to just tell the truth.

If Li Junze gets angry about this, there's nothing I can do about it.

"I'm almost going crazy from copying scriptures. I heard that my fifth brother has been killed. Am I not even allowed to go into the palace to take a look?"

Li Junze's emotions, which had calmed down, suddenly flared up again after hearing Wang Zhuo's instructions.

"This...Mr. Wang did not arrange it." Sun Xingzhi answered seriously.

Normally, as the third prince, Li Junze should have gone to the palace to pay his respects as soon as possible after Li Juncheng was killed. However, because the emperor pretended to be sick and Li Junhao and Yan Nangui were investigating the matter all day, no one came to his palace to notify him.

So, he had originally planned to go to the palace today, but he heard another piece of news from the palace.

His mother, Concubine Yu, was demoted to another level by Li Junhao because banned drugs were found in Yuchen Palace. She is now Concubine Yu.

When he heard this, he was so angry that he almost ran to Li Junhao to argue with him.

His father was still in the palace, so it was not up to Li Junhao to punish his mother.

If Li Junhao really becomes the emperor in the future, will he and his mother still have an easy life?

Fortunately, Wen Jiaxiang stopped him in time. He and Cao Xingwen agreed that if the doping incident was true, there would be nothing wrong with Li Junhao's handling of the matter.

They even thought that this was the lightest punishment, perhaps because they took into consideration the fact that Concubine Yu was still pregnant with the prince.

However, how could Li Junze accept such a thing? Among the princes who were qualified to compete for the position of crown prince, wouldn't he become the one with the lowest status?

Now that the fifth brother is dead, Li Junhao's mother is the queen, so she naturally cannot be compared. Li Junsheng's mother was the concubine, so he cannot be compared with her now either. Even for the deceased fifth brother, his mother was a concubine.

And his mother actually ended up with the position of Zhaoyi.

So today, no one dared to come and talk to him about this matter, knowing that he was very angry.

Sun Xingzhi, however, was not afraid at all, because he knew that as someone sent by Wang Zhuo, even if Li Junze was angry, he would not dare to deal with him easily.

"You are on duty every day. Is there any development in the court now?" Li Junze put aside the troubles that gave him a headache and asked Sun Xingzhi about the affairs of the court.

After all, among the people he could contact now, only Sun Xingzhi had some connections with the court.

"There are serious conflicts among the forces. Some have secretly pledged their allegiance to Wang Xueshi, while others are optimistic about the eleventh prince and are openly or secretly on the side of Minister Si. However, there are still many more court officials who have not chosen a side."

Sun Xingzhi's words enabled Li Junze to guess the tense situation in the court. He also understood his grandfather's intention of letting him stay in the mansion.

Even if one day the emperor is angry about factional strife, my grandfather will take all the responsibility on himself.

All those complaints could no longer be uttered for a moment.

"Did anything unusual happen?"

"Uh..." When Sun Xingzhi heard him ask this, he understood that Li Junze was staying in the mansion and felt that he was becoming increasingly cut off from information, so he asked him to come over to learn about the situation in the court.

So he told him in detail everything that had happened recently in the court. However, in Sun Xingzhi's eyes, he looked down on Li Junze more and more.

In the face of such a big event, he is actually willing to hide in the mansion and wait for the outcome of others' battle?

If it were me, I would definitely not do that. I would always have to show my abilities. Only in this way can I have subjects who are willing to follow me and only in this way can I be invincible at all times.

Li Junze thought the same thing, but the repeated failures in his actions made him lose most of his confidence.

In addition, Wang Zhuo made deliberate arrangements, not wanting him to do anything irreversible at this time.

However, even though he knew it, Li Junze was still very upset after hearing the news. After sending Sun Xingzhi away, he called Wen Jiaxiang and Cao Xingwen over.

"Have you two heard that the eleventh prince will be visiting his grandfather's house today?" Li Junze asked.

Wen Jiaxiang and Cao Xingwen looked at each other. They had of course heard about it, but they did not dare to report it to Li Junze.

But now that Li Junze asked, they naturally knew what he meant, so they could only nod. Wen Jiaxiang said,

"Your Highness, we just learned about this matter. However, the Eleventh Prince left the palace this time with twice as many followers as usual."

"Double? What's double? Even if it's five times, as long as we are determined to launch a sneak attack, we can definitely find an opportunity." Li Junze said indifferently.

"But, but, didn't Master Wang tell Your Highness not to get involved in such matters?" Wen Jiaxiang asked boldly.

He heard the intention to take action from Li Junze's words, so he had to remind him.

"If I do nothing, won't I be driven crazy?" Li Junze picked up the teacup and wanted to drink tea, but put it down again when it reached his mouth.

Wen Jiaxiang and the others also noticed that his temper had become increasingly irritable in the past two days, and he must have lost his temper and was about to take action, so they did not dare to persuade him forcefully.

After all, this is what Sun Xingzhi should do, but the other party doesn't seem to care about it at all, which makes them both very strange.

"Then, Your Highness, what does your highness plan to do?" Wen Jiaxiang asked.

"If grandfather doesn't take action, then we will. We must not miss this opportunity. I have disliked Old Eleven for a long time." Li Junze said with some excitement.

Li Junsheng was several years younger than himself, but he seemed to be more mature and steady in his words and deeds than himself. His father had praised him several times in front of him, which made Li Junze dislike him more and more.

There is also his mother, Concubine Shu. When his mother was a noble concubine, she was required to pay her respects to her mother every day. However, her mother said that she always had a cold face and ignored her mother.

If he took action himself and got rid of the Eleventh Prince, his mother would certainly be heartbroken. After doing this, the gain he made would be enough to calm his resentment that had been building for so long.

"Should we inform Master Wang in advance? We don't know what arrangements he will have. It would be bad if there is a conflict." Cao Xingwen reminded cautiously.
