The Return of the Marquis's Daughter
Chapter 93 Meeting Gu Changan Again
The emperor has been upset recently because of the assassination incident in Nanhu. He has not slept well for several days and even had a minor illness.
And because of the Nanhu assassination incident, Gu Yunzhou was reprimanded by His Majesty. Although His Majesty did not continue to investigate, the fact that Gu Yunzhou was reprimanded shows that His Majesty has already made up his mind.
The matter was suppressed only because of the need to preserve the reputation of Gu Yunzhou and Queen Wen.
This surprised Qin Wenlan greatly. The Emperor actually reprimanded Gu Yunzhou? This kind of situation had never occurred in his previous life.
She really hadn't thought about it. If she hadn't come to find Gu Changan on a whim this time, how would she have known about it.
Qin Wenlan thought that it was no wonder that Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou had been so obedient and quiet recently. She had thought that the Emperor was doing his utmost to protect Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou.
Since they were not planning to investigate further, what could they do to Gu Yunzhou and the others? I didn't expect that they would actually scold Gu Yunzhou!
But yes!
How can I allow others to snore on the side of the couch?
Even if the emperor doted on them and wanted to support Gu Yunzhou, the attitudes of Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou had probably made the emperor feel uneasy, so he took action to warn them.
Even if it was just a knock, it was something worth celebrating for Qin Wenlan.
As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dam can be breached by an ant hole. As long as she plans slowly and carefully, even a small hole will become a "bottomless abyss."
Since Queen Wen and Gu Yunzhou have already taken action, they have to bear all the consequences. They are all adults, so it makes sense for them to do things without wanting to bear the consequences.
After Qin Wenlan and Gu Changan finished discussing these things, they began to enjoy their tea peacefully again. Fortunately, Yan Rujun was relatively quiet.
Looking at the people following Gu Changan, this time it was not Liang Yong, but Qian Yu. Thinking that in his previous life, these two people were Gu Changan's right-hand men and were very loyal.
Even when Gu Changan was avenging her in the end, they followed him all the time without a single complaint.
Qin Wenlan's thoughts drifted away...
"The mother and daughter of the Yu family are so bold and daring that they actually want the wealth of the Min family. No wonder they spent a high price to ask Xiaoyao Pavilion to take action against you." Gu Changan said to Qin Wenlan.
"That's something you can imagine. Do they think the Min family members are all idiots?
Besides, if an old family doesn't have a very powerful team, how can it continue? It's just that the Yu family is self-righteous! "
"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves eyeing it. Since the Yu mother and daughter have set their sights on the Min family's wealth, I'm afraid they won't give up.
What's more, behind them are people like Queen Wen and Gu Yunzhou who are scheming and plotting.
After all, Gu Yunzhou is dreaming of a high position. Without sufficient financial resources, even if they want to succeed, it will be like looking at a plum to quench their thirst~"
Qin Wenlan: ...
Looking at Gu Changan in front of him, he seems so different from the Prince An in his previous life!
"Duke Dingguo's Mansion is currently negotiating a marriage with Marquis Wucheng's Mansion."
Qin Wenlan thought the topic jump was a bit outrageous. Weren’t they just talking about her?
How did they suddenly jump to the topic of what was happening in the imperial court? Fortunately, she was quick to accept the situation and was only stunned for a moment. "Who did you say was discussing marriage?"
The young lady from the Duke Dingguo’s mansion and the second son from the Marquis Wucheng’s mansion?
"Gu Yunzhou is trying to win over Prince Yu, or rather, win over the Wucheng Marquisate, and split the relationship between the Wucheng Marquisate and the Jing'an Marquisate."
There was not a trace of emotion in Gu Changan's black eyes, as if he was talking about something completely irrelevant.
Qin Wenlan understood what he meant very well. Among the princes, Prince Yu was the easiest to control, and the princess chosen for him by His Majesty was the daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an.
The Jing'an Marquis Mansion and the Wucheng Marquis Mansion are on good terms. If the young lady of the Dingguo Duke's Mansion marries into the Wucheng Marquis Mansion, then the Wucheng Marquis's position may change at any time. This is of course a very important matter for Gu Yunzhou.
Marquis Wucheng has the military power in his hands, and Gu Yunzhou has set his sights on this. Marquis Jing'an has made military achievements in the northwest, and Prince Yu's net worth will obviously double because of the future Yue family.
“We can’t let them get what they want with this marriage, otherwise, Gu Yunzhou’s sphere of influence will expand again.
He's already an ambitious guy, and if he gets any more help, it will only bring trouble to himself!" Qin Wenlan looked at Gu Changan and pursed his lips.
Gu Changan smiled, "Miss Qin, you and I really have a tacit understanding!"
"Haha, what a telepathic connection! If I hadn't come to look for the prince, how could there be such a telepathic connection?"
Gu Changan swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Can't this guy speak properly?
"This matter must be carefully considered. We must not harm the woman's reputation, nor let people know that someone is deliberately fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Otherwise, it would mean making a huge enemy with Duke Dingguo and Gu Yunzhou. It would be best to resolve this matter perfectly.
Although I'm not afraid of vindictive villains like Gu Yunzhou and Queen Wen, I can't waste my time and energy on them! "
That's why it felt prickly. Qin Wenlan frowned, pursed his lips, and his thoughts began to race.
"Marquis Wucheng is a man of very upright character. It is precisely because of this that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion dared not make it public and only acted in private."
Gu Changan said, "Duke Dingguo's Mansion is backed by Gu Yunzhou. Marquis Wucheng will definitely not take sides so early. He also doesn't want such a marriage to happen to his family."
"So, the best way right now is to find a woman who will catch the eye of the Wucheng Marquisate. She doesn't have to be from a good family, but she must have good character."
Qin Wenlan's thoughts were drifting, but he didn't know where to find such a candidate in the short term.
"I do have a very suitable candidate here, but we need someone to act as a matchmaker."
"Then this requires a stable and reliable person, otherwise..." Qin Wenlan looked at Gu Changan and said hesitantly.
"Well, actually, you do know this woman. She's the daughter of the Grand Tutor's family, Lu Minglan."
"She?" Qin Wenlan was really surprised this time?
Gu Changan nodded, looked at Qin Wenlan and said slowly: "It was Concubine Zhang who begged my aunt."
"What does this have to do with Concubine Zhang?" Qin Wenlan became more and more confused the more he listened. Isn't this something that happened in Marquis Wucheng's mansion?
The Marquis of Wucheng's Mansion is only on good terms with the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, and has no connection with Prince Yu. How can this connect?
Gu Changan slowly explained to her, "Don't just look at the Wucheng Marquis's mansion.
You have to see that since Duke Dingguo dared to mention the marriage of his children to Marquis Wucheng, it was most likely because of the intention of Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou.
Although Duke Dingguo is just a warrior, he is not a reckless man, nor is he one who acts blindly. If it weren't for the pressure from Gu Yunzhou and his mother, this incident wouldn't have happened."
Since it is related to the harem, we can only ask the concubines who can fight with Queen Wen to come forward.
In fact, Concubine Li is also a very suitable candidate. After all, Concubine Li and Queen Wen also fought very fiercely.
Because Concubine Li and her son Prince Cheng are just like Gu Yunzhou, dreaming of being in a high position, especially Concubine Li, who has always dreamed of becoming the empress dowager!
It’s just that in their opinion, Shufei is more suitable!
Marquis Wucheng must have relied on the relationship of Marquis Jing'an's Mansion, so the Marquis Jing'an Mansion was able to ask for help from Concubine Zhang, and Concubine Zhang chose Gu Chang'an's aunt, Concubine Shu.
Such a favor fell into Gu Changan's hands, no wonder...
Qin Wenlan: ...
After thinking about this, her eyes suddenly became several degrees brighter, and the shrewd calculations in them were almost as clear as reality.
After a long while of serious consideration, he looked at Gu Changan and asked, "Has the Wucheng Marquis' Mansion already taken a fancy to Lu Minglan?"
Gu Changan nodded, "Actually, the Wucheng Marquis' Mansion originally planned to directly invite the official media to the Grand Tutor's house, but they didn't expect the Dingguo Duke's Mansion to come up with such a trick, which caught them off guard."
Qin Wenlan finally understood that if the Marquis of Wucheng's Mansion went directly to the Taifu's House to propose marriage at this time, the Taifu's Family would probably not dare to openly antagonize the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, and this marriage would certainly not be successful.
The Marquis of Wucheng's Mansion was a kind-hearted family. They were unwilling to expose the Taifu's family in public, but instead went through a lot of trouble to seek help from Concubine Zhang.
He then went to Concubine Shu for help, and would rather owe a favor to Concubine Shu and Prince An than involve the Taifu family in this matter.
Thinking of the second young master of the Wucheng Marquis Mansion in his previous life, he had no connection with him. He only knew about him from what people in Prince An’s mansion said.
I didn't expect that we would have such an intersection in this life!
