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

She said hurriedly:

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty! I have a plan. You can deny knowing anything about Jiangnan. If the Emperor asks again, I will push someone out to take the blame..."

King Yao began to get impatient before he even finished listening: "Do you think I'm a fool and I can't think of such a method? Or do you think my father is a fool? If I randomly push someone out, will he believe that I'm really innocent?"

The hostility in his tone was not concealed at all, and his eyes were full of rage, as if he wanted to kill someone. Gu Zhilan shrank her neck in fear, and she felt an inexplicable panic...

But soon, this panic turned into a strong admiration. Is this the aura of a superior? Although it is scary, it seems very charming!

Thinking of this, Gu Zhilan no longer felt afraid.

She straightened up, "Your Majesty is right! But if Your Majesty has a way to solve the salt shortage in Jingchu, then the Emperor will have to let everyone know that Your Majesty is innocent."

“Salt shortage?”

King Yao sneered, and felt that she was at her wit's end. The murderous intent in his eyes became stronger: "How can I solve the salt shortage? If you have no other options, just go to my father and take charge of everything..."

"No! No! I have a way! Your Highness, please listen to me!" Gu Zhilan panicked, and the admiration in her heart turned into fear again. She hurriedly took out a jar from her luggage: "Your Highness, look at this! I have a way! I really do!"

King Yao narrowed his eyes and asked the guard to take the jar doubtfully. He opened it and saw that it was full of fine white particles. He reached out his hand and rubbed it carefully with suspicion... This is fine salt!

It is even cleaner and finer than the fine salt made by the imperial salt craftsmen!

King Yao's eyes lit up with joy. He squinted his eyes and looked at Zhilan intently: "This... was made by you? You can make salt?"

"meeting!"

Gu Zhilan nodded quickly, and a look of pride involuntarily appeared on her face.

She knew that just a little trick could make people of this era crazy for her!

King Yao relaxed all over and leaned back in his chair: "You are quite capable."

Gu Zhilan took the opportunity to praise him: "Although the prince has lost the game in Jiangnan, he will definitely regain his position with the emperor after he has quelled the salt famine in Jingchu!"

"shut up!"

King Yao heard her speak directly, without any respect in her tone, and could not help but rebuke her harshly: "A lowly brothel girl like you can discuss the affairs of the court?!"

However, Gu Zhilan keenly noticed that although King Yao was still insulting her, his tone clearly showed that he acknowledged her value.

She finally felt a little relieved...at least, her life was saved!

She lowered her head and said, "I know. I won't say anything more."

King Yao narrowed his eyes and sat upright in the chair, looking down at her:

"Gu, I am curious. You are just a farmer's daughter, and later you lowered yourself into a brothel. How do you know all this? Could it be that you are a spy sent by some country?"

Gu Zhilan waved her hands quickly: "No! I'm not!"

I had come into contact with King Yao before, but how come I didn't realize that he was such a hot-tempered and suspicious person? But even if I suspected her, there was no need to think of her as a spy...

Fortunately, she was prepared for this question, and hurriedly said, "What a coincidence, I met a strange man in a brothel and he taught me after he got drunk... I suspected it was fake at first, but after trying to make fine salt, I found it was real!"

King Yao sneered. He naturally didn't believe these words.

But no matter whether he believed it or not, he knew that this woman, Gu Zhilan, did have some abilities.

What's more, what she knows is really helpful to me...

Gu Zhilan looked at Prince Yao's expression and saw that he had softened. She hurriedly said carefully, "Prince, I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble in the palace. Can you ask someone to take me to Qi Xun?"

King Yao snorted coldly: "You are indeed a lowly person who cannot live without a man."

Gu Zhilan: “…”

Men in ancient times really had no quality at all!

After King Yao finished scolding, he suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at her with a half-smile: "Since you want to go, I will take you there."

......

It only took a quarter of an hour for the carriage to get from Prince Yao's Mansion to Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion.

King Yao's carriage stopped at the main gate, but he asked Gu Zhilan to sneak in through the back door.

The Marquis of Qi and his wife welcomed Prince Yao into Qi Xun's courtyard. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Gu Zhilan was already there.

Qi Xun held Gu Zhilan's shoulders, his heart aching so much that tears were streaming down his face. He shouted in a trembling voice: "Lan'er, you've suffered so much. How come you've become so thin..."

Gu Zhilan shook her head and shed tears, as if she couldn't help herself, and suddenly threw herself into his arms: "Brother Xun, I finally see you!"

Qi Xun's bones had not yet fully recovered, and when she pounced on him like that, he felt like the bones that had just grown back were about to be broken again.

But with his beloved in his arms, he forgot the pain.

Qi Xun's heart was broken by her crying. He held her with his arms tighter, but accidentally pinched the whip marks on her back, causing Gu Zhilan to moan in pain.

He was so distressed: "What's wrong, Lan'er? Were you injured on the way?"

Gu Zhilan was forced to recall the humiliation she had suffered in the brothel, and could no longer hold back: "I will never leave you again!"

She was speaking so confidently here that Mrs. Qi over there couldn't stand it anymore.

Her good son was tortured by this woman, and they divorced him just after their marriage. She also tortured him to death and broke his bones through criminal law. Isn't this a curse on her son?

Now, this woman is even relying on her son?!

She really wanted to go up and pull them apart, but she was afraid of hurting her son's feelings, so she had to endure it!

But King Yao did not have such good patience. He was willing to bring Gu Zhilan here because he had other intentions in mind, and he had no interest in watching people being affectionate.

He sat down straight away and said straight to the point: "I came here because I have a puzzle that I cannot solve."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the room looked at him. Gu Zhilan stopped crying and Qi Xun no longer dared to feel pain.

Lord Qi asked hurriedly, "What doubts does Your Majesty have?"

Prince Yao said, "The Crown Prince reported the Jiangnan incident to the Emperor, saying that someone was using my name to direct the Gu family to seek benefits. Who do you think is the person directing the Gu family to act?"

When Lord Qi heard this, he panicked. How come Gu is back? Does the prince still need a scapegoat?

Is it possible that Gu’s method is useless?
