Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

While Shen Xiyue and Murong Xuan were each in their own residences, thinking at the same time how to make the case of the Minister of War's corruption known to everyone, the news of the small disturbance in the Mixiang Tower also reached Prince Duan's residence.

The palace housekeeper Rufang lowered his head, holding a tray with a gold-inlaid jade ruyi in his hand: "Your Highness, this was sent by Minister Jiang."

Prince Duan was leaning back in an armchair, wearing no shoes or socks, a red robe, with loose black hair, red lips and white teeth, and a delicate face. He was even more charming than a woman.

He reached out his hand and touched the Ruyi, and said nonchalantly: "This Jiang Zisheng is particularly good at changing his attitude according to the situation. Among the forces left by my royal brother, he is the first one to take the initiative to show goodwill to this king."

Ru Fang smiled and flattered:

"Lord Jiang was able to climb all the way to the position of Minister of War after separating from the Zhenguo Mansion. He relied on his ability to understand the times. The prince's rise is unstoppable, and Lord Jiang naturally sees it clearly."

"Humph."

Prince Duan snorted with a half-smile, "He tacitly allowed his wife and daughter to go to Shen Xiyue's incense shop to make a little trouble, and then he sent Ruyi, which was not a big deal, to me. Both of them left themselves enough room for retreat."

During the verbal provocation at the incense shop, Mrs. Jiang did say a few harsh words. If Shen Xiyue hadn't deliberately made a big deal out of it, others would have just treated it as a joke.

The jade ruyi sent to Prince Duan's Mansion was not valuable. Even if it was brought to the table, it would be nothing more than a normal gift given by the ministers when they knew that the prince was taking a concubine. It was nothing insignificant.

The calculation was very good, leaving enough room for oneself to advance and retreat.

Ru Fang was silent and didn't dare to respond.

Fortunately, Prince Duan soon gave another order: "Forget it, this tentative surrender is still a surrender. Ruyi can put it in the study. Go find two Buddhist scriptures and deliver them to the Queen Mother's Palace in person."

Even if Shangshu Jiang and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion separated, his surname is still Jiang. This move may not be without the intention of Queen Mother Jiang.

That was a good sign for him.

When Gu Zhilan heard about the incident in Mixiang Tower, she could no longer sit still and ran from her own courtyard to the study to find Prince Duan.

When Ru Fang saw Gu Zhilan coming, he put down the Ruyi in his hand with anger and stepped aside.

"Lan'er is here." A smile appeared in Prince Duan's eyes.

To be fair, Gu Zhilan was good-looking, with delicate and soft features, and a harmless and pitiful look. No one would have thought that this little white flower was actually watered with human blood and power.

He had no affection for Gu Zhilan, but considering that she did have some abilities, he treated her very kindly and indulgently.

As soon as Gu Zhilan entered the room, she saw Prince Duan, who was even more handsome than a woman, looking at her tenderly. Her heart was immediately shocked. A handsome man is always pleasing to the eye.

And this good-looking man is now like a hunting spider, weaving a big net to capture the whole world.

It really suits her perfectly.

"I've met the prince."

Gu Zhilan knelt down and bowed politely. During the two months she spent in the Qi family's backyard, she had received a lot of training in etiquette because of Mrs. Qi's displeasure and Yunxiu's instigation.

After going through so much hardship, she realized some truths: people should first learn to integrate into the environment and accept the rules before doing anything else.

"Get up quickly and sit next to me."

Gu Zhilan obediently walked to the side of Prince Duan and sat down. She felt her tired and broken heart being soothed by his tenderness, which gave her some confidence in what she was going to say next.

"Your Highness, I have something to tell you." Gu Zhilan looked at the jade ruyi placed aside and said straight to the point: "I have a way to make the Minister of War completely devoted to you and become your most loyal helper on the road to succession!"

Ru Fang's face changed drastically when he heard this. Fortunately, there was no one else in the study room, but he still reminded her immediately and conscientiously: "Madam Concubine, be careful with your words! If you discuss state affairs without permission and disrupt the government, you will be sentenced to death with your property confiscated and your clan exterminated!"

Gu Zhilan's face turned pale and she turned her head to glance at Prince Duan. She felt relieved when she saw that his face remained gentle and there was no hint of accusation on it.

She glanced at Rufang expressionlessly: "I am talking to the prince, do you have the right to speak? Don't scare me here!"

Rufang: “…”

Alas, why did the prince take in such an outspoken concubine? He doesn’t know how many disasters people cause because of their mouths!

Prince Duan waved his hand, signaling Ru Fang not to say anything more. He looked at Gu Zhilan with encouragement: "Lan'er, what good idea have you come up with?"

Gu Zhilan's eyes flickered: "Burn Shen Xiyue's shop. In this way, everyone will think that Madam Jiang suffered a loss yesterday and secretly took revenge. The Jiang family has completely offended the Shen family, and then offended the prince, so they can only surrender to the prince."

In fact, she hid her selfish motives and didn't say it. She still hated Shen Xiyue and the time traveler beside her for getting ahead of her and making money by opening a soap shop.

What she can't have, no one else can have!

Prince Duan raised his eyebrows: "Interesting. Go on."

Seeing that she had persuaded Prince Duan, Gu Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"This is also putting the prince on the spot. As a prince, he married the daughter of the Shen family, which is against the royal family's ancestral precepts. If he blames Jiang for the burning of Shen Xiyue's shop, he is deliberately making things difficult for the emperor. If he does not hold her accountable, Shen Xiyue will be humiliated for nothing and will become alienated from him because of his failure to protect her."

"Hahahaha." Prince Duan laughed a few times. He felt that after hearing Gu Zhilan's words, the feeling of aggrieved that had lingered in his heart just now disappeared instantly.

Prince Duan reached out to stop Gu Zhilan and praised her. Although this woman was bold and reckless, she did have some ability to make people happy... Well, this woman had to be trapped in his backyard.

Gu Zhilan smiled slightly. Although she was tricked into the palace by Prince Duan, the fact that he was willing to treat her like this proved that she was still lucky, didn’t it?

She must hold on tightly to Prince Duan as her lifeline.

The two of them had their own thoughts. Prince Duan curled his lips and smiled, and told Rufang: "Go and do it."

Seeing Rufang was about to leave after receiving the order, Gu Zhilan hurriedly called out, "Wait--"

Rufang stopped and looked back at her. Prince Duan also turned his head slightly to look at her. Gu Zhilan met Prince Duan's gaze with a seductive look: "Prince, don't forget what you promised me, about Qi Xun..."

Prince Duan admired her flattering look and smiled even more: "Okay."

Seeing Prince Duan's attitude, Ru Fang became even more respectful to Gu Zhilan: "Concubine Lan, just wait for the good news. I will definitely take care of everything."

Gu Zhilan raised her chin and nodded, and a warm feeling rose in her chest. The taste of power is really good.
