Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1991

Guo Jindong agreed with Lin Wensong's caution, but he was still quite proud of his own intelligence network. "Last night, Princess Haiyan suddenly fell ill after returning home from the palace. People in her mansion rushed around the city looking for doctors overnight, and it made quite a fuss."

Lin Wensong lowered his eyes and stroked the teacup, saying in a low voice, "The noise that is deliberately made is often done for outsiders to see."

"Is this a fake?" Guo Jindong raised his eyebrows. "They were short of manpower in their mansion, so it was Lord Qiu's sister who came out to help. They first went to find Court Envoy Shen but failed, so later Madam Shen went to ask Madam Anguo in person." He counted on his fingers and said, "Even Doctor Kang and his wife were alarmed and had to toss and turn all night. Why would they go through so much trouble to put on a show?"

Seeing Guo Jindong's voice getting louder, Lin Wensong raised his hand to signal, "Brother Guo, you misunderstood. It's not that I doubt your information is inaccurate. It's just that this girl is very cunning. It's always better to be more careful."

"Brother Wensong is absolutely right." Qin Hongchang saw the two men arguing with each other, so he tried to smooth things over, interjected at the right time, and pushed the teapot between the two men. "We are all thinking about the overall situation, but this time, Mr. Guo San has made the greatest contribution."

As soon as he said this, Guo Jindong could not hide the smugness on his face.

The "Third Young Master Guo" he mentioned is none other than his third son, Guo Youzheng, who is known as the "Little Sword God of Northern Jiangsu".

This time it was the young master who led the team personally. He not only successfully abducted Tang Chujun, but also made Longjiang suffer a great loss at his hands.

"My son was just lucky." Guo Jindong waved his hand modestly, "To be honest, it was Madam Lin who had the best idea. She is really as capable as any man."

Everyone present nodded in praise.

Lin Wensong's wife, Mrs. Yu, was no ordinary woman in the harem. She was born in the Guangnan Yu family and was carefully trained as a counselor since she was young.

Her exquisite skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting are just a deceptive appearance. What she really learned is the art of diplomacy and the method of destroying people's hearts.

The vicious plot of "holding Tang Chujun hostage to split the Tian family" was set up by her own hands. It was also her idea to activate the self-destruct mechanism of the Six Gods Temple to kill Tang Chujun.

This plan not only completely severed the last blood ties between the emperor and his son, but also used the death of Tang Chujun to sow everlasting resentment in Princess Haiyan's heart.

Killing three birds with one stone: not only did it destroy the royal family's affection, it also severed the loyalty between the emperor and his subjects, and it left no room for maneuver between the emperor and Princess Haiyan.

The candlelight in the room flickered, casting the expressions of the people into obscurity.

Shi Anxia came back from the collapsed Six Gods Temple late at night with a sick look on his face, and went into the Heguo Mansion, staying in Xia Shiyuan.

The only person who served was Dong Xi.

She didn't want to talk.

Everyone has to move away from it.

Wei Cailing warned the maids, "Don't go to 'Xia Shi Yuan' to disturb the princess. She is in a bad mood..." Her eyes turned red as she spoke.

As soon as Shi Yunqi returned to the mansion, he went straight into the main courtyard, closed the door, and refused to let anyone in to serve him. Even his wife stood at the door several times, sighing and wandering, looking sad.

The servants were all guessing whether something big had happened with the Duke's Mansion. But the master didn't say anything, and no one knew the truth. They only knew that the princess had returned to Xia Shiyuan and had never come out again.

In the next few days, every meal was delivered to the gate of Xia Shiyuan by Mrs. Gui and her people, and then Dong Xi received it with a sad face and brought it in.

The cook occasionally asked, "Is the meal to the princess's liking?"

Dong Xi replied, "I don't know. The princess didn't eat much, and I ate it all." He then urged, "Make more dishes, I will coax the princess to eat more."

The cook should do her best to prepare various kinds of food and send them over every day.

Dong Xi answered the letter, but he was listless and said that the princess had no appetite. Thus, the rumor that the princess had no appetite spread.

The four great families were all speculating and inquiring about Tang Chujun's death. But the Ministry of Rites continued to prepare for the marriage of the retired emperor, with no intention of stopping.

"They want to cover up the news of Tang Chujun's death."

"How can you keep it secret? Won't it be exposed when you get married?"
