Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

The prince only has revenge on his mind!

Before the Crown Princess died, Duke Cheng'en said to the Crown Prince: "The death of the two grandchildren is definitely not an accident."

The prince asked him what evidence he had?

Duke Cheng En said, "Back then, when the Queen Mother gave birth to a prince, the child suddenly contracted smallpox and died within two days."

After the child died, they had no choice but to start supporting Emperor Hui.

The cause of death of the Crown Prince's son was exactly the same as that of the Queen Mother Wei's son. Duke Cheng'en suspected that both the late Emperor and the current Majesty had mastered some secret poison that looked like smallpox but could not be detected.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. The late emperor hated the Wei family just as much as Your Majesty did. He even didn't spare the princes and grandchildren of the Wei family." Duke Cheng En roared, "This must have been done by Your Majesty. He has gone mad."

The prince couldn't believe it.

He knew that his father hated the Wei family and was unhappy with him being too close to the Wei family, but he didn't believe that his father would kill his own grandson, the eldest grandson at that!

Now they have seen through it. The Wei family, the crown prince with Wei blood, and his descendants will be eliminated sooner or later.

He wanted to develop black gunpowder as soon as possible, he didn't want to wait any longer. What about keeping a low profile, what about father, brother, elder Gu, elder Liu, Zhang family, Xie family, all go to hell.

The next morning, the prince sent someone to East City to pick up Guan Yingying, and together with a group of people from the Military Equipment Bureau, they stepped up their efforts to develop black gunpowder.

Guan Yingying has run out of ideas for dealing with gunpowder.

Knowing is one thing, doing is another, I really can’t figure it out!

If she could figure it out, she wouldn't have tried to make a panacea. If anyone offended her, she would just blow them up and be done with it. Why would she go to so much trouble to coax people into drinking tea and taking pills?

She now has to do everything she can to make the prince relax his guard and take the elixir.

The prince went to court today.

Now he doesn't want to endure it anymore, he wants to settle the first score after the fall.

As soon as the court was in session, Yu Daren of the Imperial Censorate stepped out, holding up his tablet and saying, "I accuse His Highness Prince Qi of colluding with the rioters. On the day the crown prince returned to court, he instigated thousands of people to defecate in public on both sides of the Shahe Bridge."

Duke Cheng En immediately stepped out and said with great sorrow: "As a prince, Your Highness Prince Qi has disregarded the dignity of the royal family, humiliated the reputation of the crown prince, and instigated the people to rebel. This is intolerable. I beg Your Majesty to punish you severely."

Half of the officials in the court knelt down and denounced Prince Qi's behavior, which was immoral and shameless, and was truly an unprecedented event in history.

Immediately afterwards, the prince's party produced dozens of confessions from the captured perpetrators, all of which specifically pointed out that it was Prince Qi who was instigating the incident.

Prince Qi swore to heaven that he had nothing to do with it. Then Prince Qi's confidant pointed out that the prince killed someone in the street on the day he returned to the court.

The prince was doing disaster relief and did not go to Zhongzhou. Instead, he lingered on the Wancheng River with the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, and went in and out of pleasure boats every day. Not only did he go there himself, he also went around to win over local dignitaries to visit brothels and pleasure boats with him.

"As the crown prince of a country, you ignored the national crisis, gathered people to visit prostitutes, spent a lot of money, and had fun, disregarding the lives of the people in the disaster area. You sat on the mountain of corpses and turned Zhongzhou into a comfortable home, forcing the people to rebel. As the crown prince, do you still have Daqian in your heart?"

Not only did he visit prostitutes, he also stole their money to raise his own soldiers. When the prostitutes reported him to the Dali Temple, he was so afraid that the matter would be exposed that he killed the prostitutes on the spot. He also sent people to Jiangnan to kill the prostitutes and brothels on the flower boats.

……

The two men stripped each other's underwear, leaving nothing behind. Emperor Hui was so angry that he almost fainted again.

Emperor Hui angrily rebuked: "When a country is about to decline, it can be pierced by internal swords without external forces."

There are problems with the Crown Prince and Prince Qi. Your Majesty has ordered that they be each beaten with a hundred sticks and confined to their homes for three months, and not allowed to leave the palace.

Prince Qi knelt on the ground, feeling hopeless.

The prince kept private soldiers, visited prostitutes, forced the people to rebel, forced the crown princess to death, and killed innocent people... He was only sentenced to one hundred strokes of the cane!

He could not defeat the crown prince, and even his father did not dare to touch the crown prince. Over the years, no matter how big a mistake he found the crown prince made, in the end nothing was done.

That day, Prince Qi was executed and asked someone to take a letter to Gu Shaoyu, asking to see him.

Gu Shaoyu only replied with two words, "No see."

He was not afraid of the crown prince, nor did he want to collude with other princes. The crown prince was immoral, and Prince Qi was not clean either. Gu Ge Lao only listened to His Majesty.

After the court session, Gu Shaoyu went to Yuehu Garden. Bei Chen and two other young men were already waiting there.

"How's the teahouse?"

"The prince asked Tu Qianyue to help him continue to develop black gunpowder."

"Have you found the panacea?"

"Found it. She is hiding in six places."

"Only leave 10% for her to use, and bring back the other 90%. Keep an eye on it."

"Yes."

In fact, Bei Chen really wanted to ask, why steal 90%? Madam is so worried, wouldn't it be better to steal all?

But if the master doesn't say anything, they won't ask and will just execute it.

Gu Shaoyu returned to the Marquis' Mansion and saw Xie Zhaozhao counting silver bills.

He couldn't help but smile and said jokingly, "Hey, who is this? He's rich!"

"Are you jealous of all the banknotes?"

"No," the old man smiled, "I feel happy that Madam doesn't hide anything from me and treats me as one of her own."

He didn't ask her how much silver she had or how she planned to use it. He was just happy that she was becoming more and more unguarded against him.

Xiaoguai trusts himself more and more, that’s great!

Xie Zhaozhao said, "The second batch of ships has returned. I have invested all the two million taels of silver that His Majesty gave me. Go and ask His Majesty whether he wants the goods or the silver."

Gu Shaoyu said without thinking, "Give him the silver. If he takes the goods, you will no longer be the exclusive operator, and Cheng En will think that your Majesty is operating a route privately."

"Oh. We brought back a boatload of prancing horses and racehorses, all of which are favored by the sons of noble families. If Your Majesty wants them, we can give them all to Your Majesty."

It can be sent to the royal racecourse, or His Majesty can give it as a reward.

Gu Shaoyu asked: "How many horses are there in total?"

"five hundred."

Gu Shaoyu thought about it and came up with a plan.

The two entered the inner room. He touched Xie Zhaozhao's hair and asked directly without hiding anything: "Zhaozhao, have you always been worried that His Majesty will deal with the clan? Have you always been worried about the safety of the Xie family?"

Xie Zhaozhao was shocked. Gu Shaoyu was also reborn?

No, if he wanted to be reborn, he could only be reborn before the Dragon Boat Festival, and he would never see the day when the entire Xie family was beheaded.

Without saying a word, she looked at him deeply with watery eyes.

Gu Shaoyu smiled, and even the breath he exhaled had a faint scent of orchids.

"The court is somewhat wary of the clan. If I marry you, we will be husband and wife. If anything happens to the Xie family, we will not be able to escape responsibility. Now, we have enough food and clothing, and we just need peace of mind. I plan to..."

After listening to this, Xie Zhaozhao bit her lip lightly and asked, "Is it possible?"

"I think it can work. We should try our best." Gu Shaoyu touched her head and looked at her with a smile in his eyes. "Xiaoguai, I want to be with you forever, so I have to plan for our happiness seriously."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at him. Although she had married him at the behest of her parents, and even her motivation for entering the Marquis' Mansion again was for revenge, he was very good to her.

He pampers her, indulges her, considers her in everything, and even makes plans for her parents' family now.

"Would you like to come with me to the palace? To see the Imperial Concubine?"

Gu Shaoyu was delighted when he saw her softening eyes, but he didn't want her to bear even a little bit of pressure, so he quickly changed the subject.

Xie Zhaozhao handed Concubine Xi a letter requesting an audience with the emperor.

After getting the approval, Xie Zhaozhao took the box of jewelry and jades sent by Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu, and also brought a box of ambergris for His Majesty.

Ambergris was brought from Persia. This box of ambergris was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver in Persia. Daqian could sell it for five million taels.

The two waited for a while at the palace gate. Imperial Concubine Xi had someone carry a sedan chair out, and the head palace maid Liuli also brought two eunuchs to carry the box.

Xie Zhaozhao got off the sedan chair at Concubine Xi's Xingning Palace, and the Empress's personal maid Jin Ge came to invite her with a smile.

"Her Majesty heard that the old lady had entered the palace, so she specially invited her to Ziweiyuan for a chat."
