"Princess, the carriage that just passed by was from Prince Duan's mansion."

Shuang Ye reported dutifully, "Early this morning, Gu Zhilan went to Prince Duan's Mansion with Madam Qi, but Madam Qi came back on her own. Just now, Gu Zhilan went back alone, questioned Prince Qi at the gate of Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion, and then returned to Prince Duan's Mansion."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sound a little happy: "Gu seems to have understood that it was Prince Qi who sent her to Prince Duan's bed."

Shen Xiyue was burning incense, and she sighed: "He is still using women as his stepping stones as always."

Shuang Ye snorted softly, "Yes, he set up such a vicious trap to harm the princess and the prince for the sake of the Gu family, and now he has set such a trap on the Gu family. In my opinion, he is simply a selfish and hollow person who has only ever considered himself."

Shen Xiyue waved her hands to fan the air and sniffed the scent of incense. She added some angelica sinensis to the incense, so even the air had a warm scent, which was very unique.

Hearing what Shuang Ye said, her expression changed slightly: "Let's ask our people to withdraw from Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion. There is no need to protect it. Prince Duan's Mansion is going to have new people, so find a way to arrange for a few maids to serve them."

"Yes! I know." Frost Leaf responded and hurried out to make arrangements.

Shen Xiyue stood up and walked to the window.

The sky was full of colorful clouds and a cool breeze blew across her face, making her more sober.

It's not surprising that Gu Zhilan will hook up with Prince Duan sooner or later.

After all, she also opened a newspaper in her previous life, but she relied on the power of King Yao. No, King Yao was already the crown prince at that time. He designated her newspaper as an official media and directly monopolized all the policy announcements of the six ministries, all of which were issued from that newspaper.

He obtained information directly from the imperial court and then sold it to the people, making a fortune from both ends.

But in this life, King Yao went to his fiefdom, and if Gu Zhilan wanted to run the newspaper again, she would naturally need a strong supporter.

Therefore, Prince Duan, who was the most popular among everyone at this moment, became the best candidate.

The rise of Prince Duan was planned by Murong Xuan. He was a natural target. With Gu Zhilan as his partner, a tall tree attracts more wind. This is very good.

But what she didn't expect was that Qi Xun was so shallow that he took the initiative to send Gu Zhilan to Prince Duan's Mansion... just to exchange her for the job of Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue from Prince Duan.

The hen that lays golden eggs was given away just to get an egg.

Shen Xiyue raised the corner of her mouth to smile. At this moment, Gu Zhilan must be very angry and hate Qi Xun very much. She must attribute all her frustrations and all the grievances she had suppressed and tortured in the Qi family to Qi Xun's betrayal.

Is there any need to think about what Gu Zhilan will do?

The Qi family's once crumbling edifice is now likely to collapse completely.

At least Qi Xun has ended up in a dead end.

It's a pleasant thing.

Shen Xiyue reached out and grabbed a handful of spring breeze, and after the biting cold, there was still a gentle warmth left.

Gazing into the distance, she tilted her head to look in the direction of Prince Duan's Mansion and squinted her eyes subconsciously. "Zhilan, don't become obsessed with power and wealth after becoming a concubine in Prince Duan's Mansion. You must continue to use your clever brain to create many more things besides fine salt, soap and newspapers.

If one day you feel that Prince Duan is unreliable, then I, the princess, may take you in.

......

The first thing Gu Zhilan did when she returned to Prince Duan's Mansion was to meet Prince Duan.

At this point, she has accepted the current situation. Even if she is hurt, she must grasp the most fundamental interests. Prince Duan is also very good.

Gu Zhilan entered the study and fell to her knees with a plop: "My Lord, since I am your concubine now, can I ask you for a favor?"

Prince Duan sat behind the desk. Unlike his usual dull and frustrated appearance, his face was full of confidence and assurance, as if he had known that she would come back.

He stood up and helped her up with a smile: "Zhilan, there is no need to be so formal between you and me. Just tell me what you want."

After hearing this, Gu Zhilan's eyes were filled with even more hatred: "Kill Qi Xun!"

"Ok?"

Prince Duan was slightly shocked for a moment. This woman was really cruel. She killed the man she once trusted and loved so much?

But on second thought, it was a good thing that she could make such a decision. From now on, she would be able to serve him wholeheartedly in Prince Duan's Mansion.

So he agreed: "If you didn't only have Qi Xun in your eyes, how could he live until now? Since he made Lan'er unhappy, I will agree to your request. Anyway, there is no point in keeping him and the Qi family."

Gu Zhilan nodded, and at that moment, she suddenly felt how pathetic she was.

The past two years or so of traveling through time have all been wasted on that rotten guy Qi Xun.

In order to be with him forever, and to gain a place of loyalty for him, she hid in lowly places like brothels all day long, and used all her strategies to help King Yao... In the end, he was only willing to give her the position of a concubine.

Fortunately, God gave her another chance and let her hook up with Prince Duan.

This time, she would definitely not be as rash or self-deprecating as before.

This time, she wants to take the credit of following the dragon into her own hands!

Gu Zhilan raised her head and looked firmly at Prince Duan, her eyes showing the determination and sadness of a last-ditch battle: "I will stay by your side and help you in the future. But I have only one request. After your success, I want to be your queen."

"Queen?" Prince Duan's eyes dodged for a moment. Her surname was neither Jiang nor Qin, so what position did she take to become the queen?

What's more, how could there be a queen who came from a brothel?

It's really a fantasy to say this.

But with her personality, how could I quarrel with her directly? I could just say some nice words to coax her.

Then he looked at Gu Zhilan sincerely: "Of course. But now I can only give you the position of concubine. From now on, you are Concubine Lan in Prince Duan's mansion."

Gu Zhilan did not comment.

Prince Duan saw that she was in a bad mood, so he comforted her with a few words: "Okay, stay in Prince Duan's mansion from now on. With me here, no one dares to bully you. There are so many things going on recently, so put the matter of opening a newspaper aside for now, and take a good rest. After the Spring Examination, Lan'er has the final say on how to proceed."

"Ah."

Gu Zhilan responded, turned around and walked out numbly.

If you think about it carefully, her life was always experiencing great changes. Every time she felt that her life had hit bottom, God would dig another hole in the bottom of the valley and let her continue to fall.

She is really tired.
