Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Qiongsi's expression froze and he stood there in a daze.

She had never expected that with so many people going, they would fail so completely, and not even one person came back to report the news.

This was clearly a trap set by them. The Jingji Army deliberately staged this drama, waiting for them to take the bait.

Therefore, Li Junze's accusations also annoyed her, "Your Highness, I only gave you advice, but you are the one who made the final decision. How can you put all the blame on me?"

As she spoke, she shed tears of grievance. On normal days, she would have looked pitiful, but now she was dressed like an old woman. Li Junze simply couldn't bear to look at her at all.

He turned around and left the mansion without looking back. When he reached the gate, another servant came to report to him that Li Junhao and his men had surrounded the bachelor's mansion and had entered the mansion to search.

"Is Li Junhao crazy?" Li Junze muttered, and got on the carriage without any pause, and went straight to the Bachelor's Mansion with a "thump thump".

In the reception room of the Bachelor's Mansion, Wang Zhuo sat silently on a chair, looking at the vase on the antique shelf beside him with increasing displeasure. He was about to push it over when Ji Ping trotted in and said that Wang Yucheng had returned home from work.

"He's back, so is he? Is there any need to tell me specifically? Let him go back to his own yard. I don't want to see him now." Wang Zhuo glared at Ji Ping and started scolding.

However, it was too late for him to speak, as Wang Yucheng walked in excitedly carrying a bird cage.

"Oh, who is father angry with? Didn't the doctor tell you not to get angry? It's not good for your condition."

When Wang Zhuo saw him come in, he immediately became more angry, but he still patiently asked, "Did you hear anything about what happened during your shift today?"

"Well, I heard that the Crown Prince has been replaced, and I also heard that the Second Prince has surrounded our mansion with his men. Did someone sneak into the mansion and was caught by the Second Prince?

Tsk, I've said it before, the safety of our house is a problem, otherwise..."

He seemed to have a lot more to say but was abruptly interrupted by Wang Zhuo.

"Shut up, do I need to listen to you? You're talking about things we don't know."

Wang Zhuo was so angry that his eyes turned red. At such a critical moment, his son still didn't realize anything was wrong. He was completely out of touch with the changing situation in the court.

"You have so many students in your court, all of whom hold high positions. What news could there be that you don't know? Oh, by the way."

Wang Yucheng slapped his head and said, "I actually heard something today that you definitely haven't heard of."

When Wang Zhuo heard him say this, he asked him to speak out quickly.

"You know, the Minister of Works, his wife said she was seriously ill and passed away early this morning..."

Wang Zhuo's face was full of question marks. After he finished speaking, he seemed to be petrified and could not utter a word for a long time.

Wang Zhuo really wanted to kick this son out.

Finally, Li Junze walked in from outside and broke the silence of the few people.

"Grandfather, are you okay?" Li Junze's voice came in before he even came in.

"Ze'er, Ze'er, you're finally back." Wang Zhuo stood up from the chair with difficulty to greet Li Junze.

She didn't even have time to look at Wang Yucheng again.

Li Junze took two quick steps and came to Wang Zhuo. His eyes were moist, but he asked cautiously, "Have they found Gu Xunwei?"

Wang Zhuo patted the back of Li Junze's hand and told him not to mention the matter first. He turned his head to Wang Yucheng and said, "Cheng'er, you can go back first. You don't need to come to pay respects to me in the next two days."

Wang Yucheng was thinking hard about who Gu Xunwei was. When he heard Wang Zhuo say this, he felt as if he had been pardoned. "Okay, then my son will take his leave first."

As a result, at this moment, the starling in the birdcage in his hand shouted at the top of its voice, "Damn it, damn it..."

"Oh, don't say that again, little darling." Wang Yucheng said lovingly to the starling and went out with the cage.

Wang Zhuo was so angry that he kept taking deep breaths so as not to lose his composure in front of Li Junze.

Li Junze helped Wang Zhuo sit on the stool, and then continued to ask, "Grandfather, they didn't find the person, right?"

"Don't worry, Ze'er, they definitely didn't find anything."

This is the only thing worth being happy about among all the things that happened today.

"That's good, that's good." Li Junze felt relieved, and then knelt straight in front of Wang Zhuo.

The expression on Wang Zhuo's face suddenly turned ugly. Li Junze was about to apologize for his unauthorized behavior again.

When Ji Ping and Hu Ziping saw this situation, they looked at each other silently, left the room and closed the door.

"Father, I'm sorry. Ze'er did something wrong again. Please punish me." Li Junze started crying.

This time he really cried out of self-blame and regretted the decision he had made.

"Zer listened to the instigation of some people, so he acted on his own. Father, please forgive Zeer this time. There won't be a next time."

Li Junze spoke with tears in his eyes, which made Wang Zhuo feel very uncomfortable.

He used some strength in his hands to help Li Junze up, "Ze'er, it's okay, it's good that you know you were wrong. Now that things have come to this point, we can only make other plans."

What he meant was that they had spent so much effort to bring so many elite troops into the city in batches, but now almost all of them were wiped out. The only few people left were the ones who followed Hu Ziping and stayed in his mansion.

The original plan was to have these people meet Prince Yan and his men inside the capital, but now it seems that we need to replan.

"Those people don't know much, right? Have you communicated in advance?" Wang Zhuo asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, father. I have already arranged everything in advance. Even if they are caught, they will definitely not reveal anything."

Li Junze patted his chest and made a promise, but he forgot that the one who was in charge of the Jingji Army now was the old man of the Yu family who was known as the old fox of the Great Chu.

This time, they were destined to be shocked by Mr. Yu's methods.

"By the way, father, what medicine did you use on the emperor? Why did they say they had invited a witch doctor from southern Xinjiang to treat him when I went there today?"

Li Junze suddenly remembered this incident. The things that Eunuch Chengping told him seemed unbelievable to him.

After all, no matter what kind of poison was used, there should be some clues. It is impossible that so many imperial doctors are helpless and need to find a witch doctor in southern Xinjiang.
