Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Li Junhao had been in the Dali Temple for two hours, and all the news about arrests had been continuously coming to him.

Even after arresting so many people and searching so many places, there is still no clue about Gu Xunwei's whereabouts.

This forced him to force himself to calm down. It was very likely that his initial thinking was wrong, and he had to study it more carefully.

Wang Zhuo and the others have not put forward any conditions yet, for fear that they will use Gu Xunwei as a threat and make him do something against his will.

At this time, Yan Nangui suddenly walked in. He was sweating from running and didn't even bother to wipe it off. He said, "Your Highness, there is movement in the Third Prince's Mansion."

Li Junhao thought it was about Gu Xunwei, so he asked him to speak quickly.

"Almost all the available people in their mansion have been dispatched, and they are all leaving the city disguised as a merchant caravan. From what I see, it seems that they are going to intercept the team that is escorting the Jingji Army prisoners to Xiangyang City."

Although Yan Nangui's guess was just his own, it was not groundless. He also specifically inquired about the news. They set out to move to Xiangyang City in the afternoon.

Li Junhao's expression did not change at all, and he said coldly, "Don't worry about them. Since they have chosen to die, leave it to Mr. Yu."

Yan Nangui asked worriedly, "How about I send someone to inform Mr. Yu?"

Li Junhao waved his hand, "No need, this is simply a trap set by Mr. Yu. It's fine if no one jumps into it, but if anyone dares to go, there will be no return."

Yan Nangui listened to Li Junhao's confident words and stopped paying attention to the matter. Instead, he asked with concern, "Miss Gu, you still haven't found it?"

Li Junhao stood up from his chair and threw the papers in his hand onto the desk. "You guys continue to look for it. I'll go to the palace."

Although Yan Nangui was puzzled as to why Li Junhao suddenly wanted to enter the palace, he certainly didn't dare to ask too much.

After Li Junhao left, Yan Nangui walked to the seat where Li Junhao had just sat, arranged the papers in front of him one by one, and then began to check them in detail. The more he read the news, the more shocked he became.

After entering the palace, Li Junhao did not go to the East Palace, but went directly to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor.

When he was brought into the main hall by Eunuch Chengping, he saw Concubine Shu and Li Junsheng talking to the Emperor.

Li Junsheng frowned and looked carefully at the chess game in front of him.

Seeing Li Junhao coming in, he quickly stood up and tried to give his seat to Li Junhao.

Li Junhao waved his hand, bowed to the emperor, then he lifted his robe and knelt in front of the emperor.

Everyone in the hall opened their eyes wide in shock, including the emperor.

Unless there is a major festival or ceremony, Li Junhao, as the crown prince, does not need to perform such a grand ceremony for the emperor.

"Hao'er, what's wrong? What happened?" The emperor threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess basket and asked in surprise.

"Father, I am an unfilial son. The plan may have to change. I can't wait for two years." Li Junhao knelt straight and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"Cough cough..." After hearing his words, the emperor suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and then started coughing violently.

Although Concubine Shu was very worried about the emperor's health, she still had the foresight to pull Li Junsheng away.

Because she knew that they might say something that was inconvenient for others to know.

However, Li Junhao turned around and said to her, "Aunt, let Sheng'er stay. There are some things he should know."

When Concubine Shu suddenly heard Li Junhao calling her "Auntie", tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

Li Junhao used to call himself that when he was very young. Later, after he became the crown prince, he was asked not to call himself that anymore.

Today he suddenly changed his address to calling her "Auntie" again. She had a vague premonition of something happening and turned her gaze to her son.

"Okay, okay." Concubine Shu said these three words with sobs, pushed Li Junsheng forward, turned around and quickly left the hall.

No one in the hall noticed that when Concubine Shu left the house, she could no longer control her emotions and her tears flowed violently.

She took two quick steps, walked out of the hall, and after passing through the corridor, she began to cry without restraint, covering her mouth with a handkerchief.

Li Junhao’s behavior just now reminded her of her deceased sister.

When my sister was alive, she told me more than once, "If possible, I really hope that neither of them will become the crown prince. I just hope that they can be healthy and live the life they want."

Unfortunately, when my sister was alive, her eldest son became the crown prince, but he died early. Then, she could not resist the emperor and made her second son the heir.

When she gave birth to Li Junsheng, she had made up her mind to make Li Junsheng a subject and assist Li Junhao with all his strength.

However, just a while ago, Li Junhao came to see me and told me his thoughts.

He actually wanted to support Li Junsheng to take the throne, while he was willing to be an idle king and never take care of state affairs again.

When he said he would ignore state affairs and idle the prince, he was worried that his staying in the court would affect Li Junsheng's authority.

At that time, she could not accept it no matter what, not because she was reluctant to let Li Junsheng endure the intrigues in the court, but because she felt that Li Junhao was the most suitable person to sit in that position.

Li Junhao naturally knew what she was thinking. For the first time in so many years, he reached out and hugged her, and whispered in her ear,

"I want to avenge my mother and brother. I will be very angry by then, which will be unfair to Sheng'er."

"But don't worry, Sheng'er's abilities and personality are fully up to the task. I have been teaching him over the years, and he will definitely do well."

Now, Li Junhao suddenly called her "Auntie" and said the same words just now, and Concubine Shu had already guessed what he wanted to do.

Perhaps, my sister's wish will soon come true...

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor stopped coughing and looked at Li Junhao breathlessly, "Hao'er, have you thought it through?"

"Yes, please give an order, father." Li Junhao looked at the emperor with burning eyes, his firm attitude clearly visible.

"Why? What happened?"

Why did you agree on two years but now you are so impatient?

Li Junhao thought for a moment before answering, "If I don't act now, more people may suffer in the future. The King of Yan has already left Northern Yan. Father, the capital is in danger."
