Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 289 Chu Xi's Medicine Is For Gu Changyan
After a while, the queen said: "Is this Gu Changyan's idea for you?"

The fourth prince was silent for a while: "Yes."

In fact, even Gu Changyan didn't know about it, and it was Chu Xi who really came up with this idea.

It's just that the fourth prince doesn't want to tell the queen.

No matter how angry the queen is, she won't do anything to him. After all, he is her own son.

But Chu Xi was different, she was just a weak woman, and the queen could not understand Chu Xi, if she told the queen that this was Chu Xi's idea, she would definitely give Chu Xi poisoned wine.

Therefore, Gu Changyan can only be asked to take the blame.

What the fourth prince didn't say was that Chu Xi also said that the emperor was obsessed with the art of alchemy and devoted himself to pursuing immortality and ascending to immortality. In fact, everyone knew that becoming an immortal was impossible, but the emperor's faith was enough.

In the next step, Chu Xi plans to ask the fourth prince to search for Taoist priests from all corners of the country, and to find more capable ones. As long as His Majesty believes in those Taoist priests, His Majesty will listen to whatever the Taoist priests say, plus those women that the Fourth Prince will put in the harem. Blowing the pillow wind, so many people are trying hard, are you afraid it won't work?

No matter what, the fourth prince must sit in that position.

But this matter cannot be told to the queen.

Chu Xi is a woman, so she naturally knows that the Queen has real feelings for His Majesty. If she knows the plan of the Fourth Prince, she will stop it immediately. She cannot ask the Queen to ruin the plan of the Fourth Prince.

Speaking of Chu Xi, Chu Zhi kept ordering people to watch her secretly.

It's just that Chu Xi is very smart, afraid of being discovered, she walked along several long corridors secretly, and the people Chu Zhi sent to follow were lost, and they didn't laugh about where she went or what she did.

All I know is that not long after Chu Xi came out of the palace, Gu Changyan was also driven out in a sedan chair. The two looked at each other, and Chu Xi smiled and nodded at Gu Changyan.

At that time, there were not many people in the palace, so no one saw the undercurrent of the two.

On the contrary, Chu Xuan complained to Chu Zhi at night: "You don't know, Chu Xi's face is red when she returns home, isn't it because she was rewarded by the empress and the fourth concubine at the palace banquet? What is there to be proud of? She deserves to be happy My face is red now!"

Chu Zhi's heart skipped a beat: "You said her face was red?"

Chu Xuan nodded: "That's right, who are you going to put on a shy look for?"

As usual, Chu Zhi would not take this detail to heart, but when she entered the palace in the afternoon, Aunt Huang specifically explained that Chu Xi brought a pack of reminders, love, and medicine, and Chu Xi dumped the person Chu Zhi sent to follow , Chu Zhi didn't know exactly what he had done, but when he heard what Chu Xuan said, Chu Zhi paid more attention.

She didn't show emotion on the surface, and after talking with Chu Xuan for a while, Chu Xuan was sleepy, so she went back to her yard accompanied by her maid.

As soon as Chu Xuan left, Chu Zhi quickly called Madam Qian, and said privately, "When you go to say hello to grandma tomorrow, you go with me and help me see Chu Xi."

Qian Momo instantly understood: "Miss is suspicious of Miss Six..."

Chu Zhi nodded: "If Chu Xi really...then I have to make another plan."

Chu Zhi had already asked someone to keep an eye on the fourth prince. Throughout the New Year's Eve, the fourth prince had been sitting with the fourth concubine in Changle Hall to accompany the queen because the queen found out that he had given a woman to His Majesty. After the palace banquet, he obediently returned During the period, he never left the banquet for half a step.

However, Gu Changyan was nowhere to be seen. Calculating the time, it was almost the same time as when Chu Xi disappeared.

Chu Zhi guessed that Chu Xi's aphrodisiac incense was probably prepared for Gu Changyan, and that Chu Xi's menstruation was ahead of schedule but kept quiet, so it was probably for this purpose, and the woman would not conceive if she had sex with her after menstruation.

If Chu Zhi's guess is correct, then Chu Xi is really daring.

The next day, when everyone was paying their respects, Chu Xi was unexpectedly late. Fortunately, everyone knew that she entered the palace last night and was tired of talking with the nobles, so they didn't say much.

After coming out of Rongning Hall, before Chu Zhi could speak, Qian Momo's face was condensed.

Chu Zhi guessed a bit.

Sure enough, she heard Qian Momo say: "Back to the girl, the sixth girl is... not a virgin."

"Girl, what should I do?" Qian Momo looked worried.

If the news of Chu Xi's death and son's death spread, the reputation of the girls in the mansion would be ruined, and even the married eldest and second girls would be implicated.

Therefore, even if Nanny Qian knew about it, she didn't dare to say anything.

Chu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered, he didn't expect Chu Xi to really dare.

She has already confirmed that Chu Xi went to Gu Changyan last night, and Gu Changyan also touched Chu Xi.

It's just that she didn't know whether Chu Xi in her previous life had such a relationship with Gu Changyan.

After all, Chu Xi was the only one who entered the palace at that time, Chu Zhi didn't think about it at all, and since he didn't have a capable mother by his side, he didn't know anything.

Now that I think about it, I feel a little chills. In her previous life, she was ignorant all the way, stumbled and stumbled into such a dense net.

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Chu Zhi comforted, "Since Chu Xi dared to do this, she must have thought of a countermeasure. You don't have to panic. Besides, she will marry into the fourth prince's mansion in the next year. The Chu government has nothing to do with it, so don't be afraid."

Qian Momo nodded: "That's the only way."

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "Where do you think Sixth Miss is so courageous? It turns out... hey! Are you really desperate!"

Chu Zhi pursed her lips: "She has always been like this, you are not ignorant of what she is going to do, Sister, let's just wait and see."

"By the way," Chu Zhi remembered something, "Do you think grandma will realize that Chu Xi is not a virgin anymore?"

Qian Momo said: "The Madam Cao next to the old lady is capable, so she must not be able to hide it."

However, the old lady might think that the person who wanted Chu Xi's body was the fourth prince, and that Chu Xi would marry him after the next year. In addition, Chu Xi was not close to the Chu family. The relationship has been eased, so naturally I won't say anything more.

Chu Xi suppressed the matter for the time being, and said that although the matter of Han Zhan had not yet been settled, His Majesty had already stated his position on New Year's Eve, and when he came to court on the fifth day of the lunar new year, the case of Yulong City would be officially closed.

Gu Changyan, Han Zhan, and Zhongyonghou's Mansion all received a lot of rewards, Li Hongchang was sentenced to death, two uncles of the fourth prince were dismissed, and the Chen family was hit hard.

Originally, His Majesty wanted to restrain the feet of the Fourth Prince, but he recently fell in love with a concubine who happened to belong to the Fourth Prince, so he said to His Majesty: "At this time, I have nothing to do with the Fourth Prince, and she is really implicated by the Chen family. Gu Shizi has made a great contribution, since His Majesty was able to reward His Highness the Crown Prince because of Lord Han Xiaohou, it must also be because of Gu Shizi that he was able to avoid harsh criticism of the fourth prince. The ministers and concubines were born in poverty, and they don't know anything, but the common people often say, "a bowl of water is flat" , so I boldly spoke up, and I hope His Majesty will not blame you, my concubine really does not want you to work so hard."

With these words, His Majesty thinks about it, and it is not easy to deal with the fourth prince. After all, the two uncles of the fourth prince have been dismissed and investigated. situation, mutual checks and balances.
