The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

Qin Wenlan felt very happy just thinking about it. As long as that bastard Gu Yunzhou suffered, she would be happy to eat an extra bowl of rice.

She remembered that in her previous life, the mother and son were very arrogant and domineering. With the protection of the biased emperor all the way, they rose to that high position smoothly.

Even in this life, every time she faced them, it was never as satisfying as that time. This time, she was finally able to turn the tables. It seems that they will have nowhere to hide this time.

Gu Changan looked at the woman in front of him who seemed to be daydreaming, so he drank his tea quietly without disturbing her. After all, they had almost finished talking about the important matters.

It seems that every time they meet, it is for serious business, and there has never been a time when the two of them really meet privately for personal matters.

So now it’s better to stay quiet for a while, look at the flow of people outside, and then look at the people around me. It’s a rare leisurely and comfortable feeling.

After Empress Wen learned that Yu Hongmin was appointed by the emperor to investigate the case in Yiku Palace, she remained silent for a long time.

Li Wangcai observed Queen Wen very carefully, fearing that he would accidentally provoke this angry woman.

After a long while, he tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, Yu Hongmin is investigating the case, and I'm afraid it's not easy for us to intervene. After all, he is a stubborn person.

It seemed that nothing could move him, but he had always dreamed of becoming a minister of integrity who would be remembered for eternity.

If he hadn't been so stubborn, Prince Yun wouldn't have thought of using him to eliminate Marquis Wucheng. Who would have thought..."

After hearing this, Empress Wen fell silent. Yes, this stubborn son was of no use, but now His Majesty has arranged for him to be used.

Then she glanced at Li Wangcai coldly and sneered, "Even if it's so difficult, do you really think I have no solution? Even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't escape from my grasp."

"It is said that our queen is really powerful, and I am as stupid as a pig. I hope the queen will not hesitate to teach me something." Li Wangcai replied in a servile manner.

"Don't forget, as long as he is still a human being, he will always have weaknesses. As long as you find his weaknesses, there will be nothing you can't do.

Even if Yu Hongmin is truly invincible, could it be that all his family members are like this? "You should use your brain more."

Li Wangcai's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Then I'll go and investigate carefully to see if this family is invincible."

"Don't rush away. What did Prince Yun say?"

"There hasn't been any news from Prince Yun yet. I'm afraid it's because..."

Li Wangcai lowered his head. He didn't dare to say that Gu Yunzhou was too busy with the affairs of Juxian Pavilion.

Queen Wen's face turned stern, and she sighed, "Okay, go get busy first!"

Li Wangcai quickly bowed and retreated.

As soon as Li Wangcai left, Aunt Qiu spoke up, "My Lady, would you like me to go take a look at Prince Yun's residence?"

Queen Wen shook her head, "We can't go to his residence right now. We don't know how many eyes are staring at our Yikun Palace.

It’s better to have less trouble now than more, so as to avoid making those people run around. Let’s just be good people and stay in Yikun Palace calmly.”

She, the daughter of the Wen family, is not just a title, otherwise how could she have sat on the throne of queen so easily and freely all these years? How could such a small matter now possibly be difficult for her?

She just didn't anticipate how the wasp might not have burned all the evidence at that time.

Doesn't Mafeng know that Liu Weng is a greedy person? He has probably been targeting him for a long time and he doesn't even realize it. He is really useless.

Or maybe I wasn't decisive enough at the beginning. If I had taken action directly when he got the position of general manager, I wouldn't have all these troubles now.

Nanny Qiu thought for a moment and continued, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine sent lotus seed soup to the Qinzheng Palace today, and His Majesty also gave the Imperial Concubine time for a cup of tea."

"What? The Imperial Concubine actually sent lotus seed soup to the Qinzheng Palace?"

Empress Wen thought for a moment and sneered, "Forget it, she's just a fool with courage but no strategy. She's still dreaming of the day when I and Prince Yun fall.

It's simply a foolish dream for her and King Cheng to ascend to the throne directly."

"Who is King Cheng? When has His Majesty ever been kind to him? He covets that position, but he doesn't even consider whether he has the blessing." Nanny Qiu continued.

After hearing what Nanny Qiu said, Empress Wen's expression relaxed. She lightly flicked away the nonexistent dust, stared into the distance, and asked slowly, "Is there any movement from anyone else?"

"There is no movement at all." Nanny Qiu responded easily.

"Why has there been no further news about Prince Xian's concubine since her last miscarriage?"

"Please rest assured, Concubine Jiang. After her miscarriage, Prince Xian has become very dissatisfied with her. I'm afraid she won't get pregnant for another year or two.

From now on, our Prince Yun will have his own ancestral temple all by himself. Let’s see how they can show off.”

"It seems like he's actually quite capable. Finally, my energy wasn't wasted."

Queen Wen continued nonchalantly, "What about the King of Chu? How far has he come? Don't let him be another useless person."

"The King of Chu has already met with Miss You privately several times. I think it won't be long before he asks her to be a concubine. Your Majesty's planning hasn't gone to waste."

Nanny Qiu paused for a moment, "However, I'm worried that You Meiyi won't be easy to control. If she enters Prince Chu's mansion in the future, will she..."

Empress Wen looked at Nanny Qiu and said, "So what if she's not capable of great use? As long as she can be of use to me at a critical moment, that's enough. I didn't expect anything from her in the first place. Without expectations, there won't be any demands."

"Your Majesty is right, but if I can keep an eye on things quietly in the dark, perhaps things can be more successful?" asked Nanny Qiu.

Empress Wen stared intently outside the Yikun Palace. After a long moment, she said, "Don't worry. Now is not the right time. If... the wasp incident cannot be avoided, then we can only use it to divert His Majesty's attention."

With You Meiyi, she can not only hold the Princess of Chu, but also hold the King of Chu. It is really lively. If it is like this, His Majesty will not be able to keep staring at Yun'er.

As for Liu Wen...

After thinking about this, the eyes of the Wen girl were cold and murderous. If it was a stumbling block that was of no use to her, she would just kick it away. Why would she worry about it?

When has she ever been so hesitant? She really can't be too soft-hearted...
