Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

It would have been fine if she didn't go find a doctor, but what was even more puzzling was that Xie Cheng'an came to Xiangsiyuan to find her, but she didn't even mention the fact that Xie Rui had a rash. This was obviously unreasonable.

And her punishment of making Chunxiu kneel was completely unreasonable, and what she said was incomprehensible to no one.

Gu Xunwei frowned and didn't speak for a long time. There were always some clues in her mind that were intermittent and couldn't be connected together, which made her a little irritated.

However, she quickly adjusted her mood and stopped thinking about it if she couldn't figure it out. She continued to observe her secretly and she would definitely find something to connect these clues.

"Chenxiang, write back to father and tell him to continue to claim to be sick and not to see anyone, not even his second uncle and second aunt."

"Yes." Chenxiang said, turned around and went out.

"Bai Zhi, go find Shopkeeper Li right away and ask him to arrange the people he has found. Make sure both of them can attend Mr. Nanshan's poetry gathering."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Bai Zhi replied immediately and went out.

Ye Ying was left alone, balancing his clothes and standing helplessly in front of Gu Xunwei, waiting for her to arrange the next move.

Gu Xunwei felt embarrassed when she saw this. The people assigned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been busy for a long time but in the end they couldn't even find a suitable piece of clothing.

"Miss Nighthawk, there is nothing more to do here. You can go back to His Highness and thank him for his care on my behalf." Gu Xunwei said to Nighthawk respectfully.

Ye Ying raised his head quickly, not pulling at his clothes, and said with a cupped hand, "Thank you, Madam. Um, His Highness asked me to come here to protect you. I need to stay by your side until Your Highness returns."

"Isn't His Highness in the capital?" Gu Xunwei's originally relaxed expression suddenly became a little nervous. She didn't even notice that her right hand was tightly grasping the armrest of the chair.

"This...I cannot say it." Nighthawk also realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly lowered his head.

It cannot be said, that means he is really not in the capital. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really went to Xiangyang City?

If His Highness was in the capital, Nighthawk would not have answered like this.

Gu Xunwei guessed in her heart and could only say, "In that case, Miss Nighthawk should stay. We should just act according to circumstances in the next few days."

"Yes." Ye Ying agreed and disappeared in front of Gu Xunwei in a flash.

At this time, it started raining outside again. Gu Xunwei looked at the drizzle and sighed in her heart that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had really rushed to Xiangyang City in person, then perhaps the tragedy of the previous life could have been avoided.

Different from the drizzle in the capital, the rain in Xiangyang city was heavy and violent, accompanied by strong winds, lightning and thunder. Li Junhao and Sang Mo, who were staying in a farmer's house near the river bank, could not help but feel nervous.

They have checked three times and indeed found nothing abnormal, so they guessed that if there really was an accident, it must have been a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster. However, looking at the current situation, they feel a little uncertain.

"Your Highness, today is only the second day of the Chinese New Year and the rain is already so heavy. How about we send some more people over?" Sang Mo said with some concern.

Li Junhao looked through the dilapidated, drafty door of the farmer's house and shook his head decisively, "We already have enough manpower. If it was really a natural disaster, we wouldn't be defending like this, but would start evacuating the villagers."

Yes, they can be so calm now, and all actions are carried out in secret, because they firmly believe that if this disaster really happens, there must be someone behind it.

Not only did the flood occur under the rule of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the timing of April 9th ​​was too coincidental. If it was truly God's will, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might really have to give up his position as the crown prince.

"Let's wait and see. If the weather is still like this on the seventh day, we will secretly evacuate the people in advance. Otherwise, everyone will stay put."

Li Junhao remained calm and composed, as if he was facing a crisis, which made Sang Mo admire him very much.

Seeing His Highness's attitude, Sang Mo's nervous heart relaxed a little, "Yes, I understand."

They have arranged a team of two thousand people to hide secretly near the river bank. Anyone who wants to get close to the river bank in the next few days will be secretly detained by them and interrogated one by one after the rain stops.

The room suddenly became quiet again. Sang Mo saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to turn the ring on his thumb from time to time, and knew that His Royal Highness was thinking about something again, so he stood quietly at the door to block the wind that kept blowing in.

"You must find a way to create some other noise to divert their attention and stop them from always staring at the East Palace and Xiangyang City." Li Junhao suddenly spoke again. He was worried that since he had been away from the East Palace for such a long time, Xiao Fuzi and Anying's disguises would be discovered.

"Okay, then let's find something for the Hanlin Academy." Sang Mo expressed his thoughts, and when he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nod, he went out to make arrangements.

The Hanlin Academy is the sphere of influence of the third prince, Prince An, and the president of the Hanlin Academy, Wang Zhuo, is Prince An's maternal grandfather, so he will definitely attract some of his attention.

At this moment, Li Junhao's mind reappeared the sad and angry expression on Gu Xunwei's face when she told him about her dream.

It started to rain in the afternoon of the first day of April. He had completely believed in her dream. Normally, he would not have discovered such a mysterious thing, but now...

On the fourth day of April, Mr. Nanshan held a poetry reading at Nanshan Academy and invited some literati and even civil officials in the capital. Among them was naturally Xie Cheng'an, the top scholar in the imperial examination who had recently become famous in the capital.

He was dressed up new today and looked very energetic, while Gu Qiongsi dressed as a man and followed him, telling others that he was his cousin, called Young Master Qingzhu.

When the two appeared in front of everyone at Nanshan Academy, someone had already stood up to greet Xie Chengan, "Xie Zhuangyuan, long time no see, come and sit down quickly."

"Yes, yes, Xie Zhuangyuan's poems are truly brilliant, leaving us far behind." Someone echoed and began to praise his poems.

Xie Cheng'an bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude but did not stop. When the others saw this, they also found something unusual. Usually, at every poetry gathering, the first three tables of Mr. Nanshan would be occupied by his disciples and officials who had already entered the government. However, Xie Cheng'an and Qingzhu had already walked into the area of ​​the first three tables.

Could it be that Mr. Nanshan would let Xie Chengan sit at the first three tables at the poetry gathering he held? And what was his identity?
