Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

“Well, the Emperor really loves the Third Prince and the Seventh Princess, but it’s a pity that their mother is only a Zhaoyi now, alas…”

After hearing this, Sun Xingzhi felt even more resentful. If Wang Zhuo had not replaced him, he would have been the favored Third Prince.

How could he remain calm? He even thought about going directly to the palace and telling the emperor about this matter in person, but he quickly rejected the idea.

Given my current official position and the emperor's current health condition, I estimated that I would not be able to enter the palace even if I arrived at the palace gate.

For a moment, he was in a dilemma. He didn't know what to do, let alone how to face Wang Zhuo and Li Junze, so tonight he went to Louwailou again and got himself drunk.

Deputy General Niu was angry, so he did not ask anyone else to come, but came himself. As a result, he found Sun Xingzhi who was already lying on the table due to drinking.

At first glance, he found that something seemed to be wrong with Sun Xingzhi, so he greeted the waiter at Louwailou, and the two of them worked together to get him to a private room on the second floor.

Deputy General Niu chuckled, and the same evil taste he had when he interrogated the prisoners in the Dali Temple emerged again. When the waiter saw his smile before leaving, he felt the hairs on his body stand up.

"Deputy General Niu, you have to be careful. This is Louwailou after all. Don't cause any trouble." The guy warned bravely.

"I know, I know. I promise, he won't know anything when he wakes up tomorrow." Deputy General Niu said with a smile, and pushed the man out of the door with force, and closed the door with a "bang".

Then there was the sound of the door being slammed.

The guy had a bitter face and stayed outside the door for a while, but finally left helplessly.

Since Deputy General Niu promised him that nothing would happen, then nothing should happen.

Lieutenant General Niu was in the room and saw that Sun Xingzhi was placed on the bed but still hadn't woken up. The key point was that there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

He had seen such situations before. This was because the person was sad and was drinking to relieve his sorrow.

Moreover, he got himself drunk. Isn't this giving himself a chance?

He chuckled twice again, took out a small bottle from his arms, and shook it in front of Sun Xingzhi's nose twice.

This is all I needed. After my repeated begging, Xuanjizi only gave me a little bit. Today, it finally came in handy.

Then Sun Xingzhi seemed to smell something and struggled to open his eyes, but he couldn't open them.

While he was fuzzy, he seemed to hear Wang Zhuo scolding him, "What's wrong? Why are you so drunk?"

He sneered bitterly, then waved his hands vigorously and said, "Father, my good father, you did a good thing..."

Hey, it turns out that Sun Xingzhi is really Wang Zhuo’s illegitimate son. Oh, this is the first harvest of the day.

Then, Deputy General Niu imitated Wang Zhuo's voice and tone, "What are you talking about? What happened? Tell me clearly."

"Hehe, I heard everything you said to Li Junze. No, I should say that I am Li Junze..."

Deputy General Niu almost threw the small bottle in his hand away. This news was like a bolt from the blue. He was so shocked that he stood there for a long time without being able to react.

Sun Xingzhi was still crying as he said painfully, "Why, Grandfather, you don't want to continue to lie to me, do you? You have made me suffer so much in the past ten years..."

Deputy General Niu gritted his teeth when he heard this. What kind of bloody plot is this? Old man Wang Zhuo, you really know how to play.

"What did you hear? How could you think so? Things are not what you think."

"No, I won't believe you anymore, because that day I heard Li Junze call you father, and I also heard you mention me. I know everything, I know everything..."

As Sun Xingzhi said this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and Deputy General Niu couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

Regardless of whether he is the third prince or not, even if he was an ordinary person, he would hate Wang Zhuo to death if he was treated like this. However, in his heart, the person he trusted the most was still Wang Zhuo.

Because the magic medicine that Xuanjizi gave to him was meant to make the other party see him as the person he trusted the most, and thus open up to him.

Therefore, at this point, he didn't need to continue, and just let Sun Xingzhi handle the rest on his own. He had almost completed today's mission.

He remembered that Yan Nangui once said that he would be the next Junior Minister of Dali Temple, and Deputy General Niu started laughing foolishly again.

When the news of what happened in the hot spring villa was reported back to the scholar's residence, it was already three quarters past midnight.

When Ji Ping went to report the situation to Wang Zhuo, he had already gone to bed. He was very unhappy when he was called up, but he knew that this was an emergency, so he could only ask unhappily,

"What on earth happened in the middle of the night?"

Ji Ping didn't care about Wang Zhuo's mood, and quickly clasped his hands before saying, "Master, something happened at Wenquan Manor..."

"Something happened? What happened?" Wang Zhuo's voice was a little dry, and the little maid beside him handed him a cup of hot tea at the right time.

"People from the Dali Temple and the Jingji Army arrested all the people in the village, saying that their identities were unknown and they lacked identity documents, which posed a threat to the security of the capital, and also..."

Ji Ping spoke a little fast, but he didn't dare to say the rest of the words easily. He glanced at Wang Zhuo and found that his lips turned from red to purple in an instant.

He was so frightened that he immediately shouted outside the door, "Call the court doctor, call the court doctor quickly."

"No, just tell me quickly, what else?" Wang Zhuo held his breath, tightly grasped Ji Ping's hand, and asked with difficulty.

"They also turned the hot spring villa upside down, and all the useful things were taken away by Yang Jinzhong and his men from the Jingji Army."

"Ugh..." Wang Zhuo touched his chest in pain and almost vomited blood.

Because the hot spring manor is located on the outskirts of the capital, those who come from Beiyan are first gathered at the manor and then divided into groups to enter the capital.

If he remembered correctly, those left on the manor were the elite secret guards he had trained with great effort over the years, as well as more than 500 soldiers from Northern Yan.

If it is really as Ji Ping said, then this time their losses will be too great.

"Quick, go inform Ze'er and ask him to come here immediately. We need to find a suitable excuse quickly, otherwise, things will be difficult to handle."

Wang Zhuo didn't even have time to catch his breath, and pushed Ji Ping to get things done quickly.
