Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Zhang Wu looked at the prince's anxious expression and quickly denied it, "No, it's you who's in trouble right now."

Xiao Jingheng frowned when he heard this, "Gu? What's the matter?"

In addition to helping his father handle government affairs recently, the northwest has been very quiet, and the plan to replace Prince Jin with Jiang Huizhou is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The most important thing is that his wedding to Gu Qinghe is only one month away.

"Your Highness, this conversation started yesterday," said Zhang Wen.

"Long story short." Xiao Jingheng threw the sweat towel in his hand vigorously. Han Desheng quickly reached out to catch it and lowered his head again.

Zhang Wen quickly said, "The third wife of the Gu family went to the Han family for a banquet. She heard from Old Madam Han that on the day Princess Yunhua got married, you helped catch Miss Han when she nearly fell. It was because of your kindness that they had physical contact. She also said that she wanted to use her friendship with the Empress Dowager to ask for an explanation from her granddaughter."

When Han Desheng heard this, he couldn't stand it anymore. Was the prince taking the blame for him?

Xiao Jingheng laughed when he heard this, and laughed angrily, "Did the third wife of the Gu family say that? Does the third lady know about it?"

Zhang Wen nodded with difficulty, "Yes, the Third Madam said this to Old Madam Gu this morning, in front of the First Madam, the Second Madam, and the Third Miss."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng chuckled twice and clenched the teacup in his hand even tighter. "What was the third lady's reaction?"

"I can't tell, but the third lady has a blank expression on her face. Maybe she's afraid others will see her emotions." Zhang Wen also tried to cover it up.

Xiao Jingheng raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Wen. He was very good at talking, but it made him confused.

Gu Qinghe had not yet opened her heart to him at this time, so her expressionless face was just what it said, no need to think too much about it.

"I understand. Please take a letter back later." Xiao Jingheng said and walked towards his study.

"Your Highness, your cloak—" Han Desheng spoke quickly and trotted after him.

Xiao Jingheng heard Han Desheng's movement and said, "Han Desheng, your affair has been recorded on my head. It's really good."

"Your Highness, I am truly wronged. I have already told Miss Han not to spread the news. It may be that someone else did not control their mouths, and the Han family is just saying this to cover up the truth." Han Desheng hurriedly apologized with a breathless smile.

"We can't just let it go like this. Will Gu Bai bear the stigma of being misunderstood?" Xiao Jingheng said in a deep voice.

Han Desheng quickly fell silent. The prince was angry, so it was better for him to keep quiet, especially when he was involved in this matter.

Xiao Jingheng had just written a few hundred words, folded the plain paper, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Zhang Wen, "Go quickly."

"As you command." Zhang Wen took the envelope, bowed, and walked out. His brother's envious eyes followed him.

"Zhang Wu—" Xiao Jingheng ordered in a cold voice: "Go and compile a list of unmarried officials in the court."

"Yes." Zhang Wu replied and hurried out.

In the study, Han Desheng was the only one serving. He still didn't dare to speak, just waiting for the prince's instructions.

After a long silence, Xiao Shunzi knocked on the door. "Your Highness, Madam Lin from the Empress Dowager's office is here. She wants you to come over and talk about the Han family."

Han Desheng's heart was beating very fast at this moment, as if it was pounding in his throat.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingheng glanced outside. Zhang Wu hadn't returned yet. "I understand. Tell Nanny Lin that I'll be there once I've finished my work."

"Yes." Xiao Shunzi took the order and trotted into the courtyard. Nanny Lin was counting the differences between the Eastern Palace now and last year, and she didn't seem to be nervous.

"Madam Lin, the Crown Prince said he would be there soon, so you should go back and serve the Empress Dowager first." Xiao Shunzi said with a smile.

Not long after Nanny Lin left, when Xiao Jingheng had just finished his second cup of tea, Zhang Wu came back in a hurry with a few pieces of paper in his hand.

"Your Highness, please take a look. This is a list of unmarried officials in the court that I copied from the Ministry of Personnel." Zhang Wu said as he handed the list to Han Desheng.

Han Desheng handed the list to the prince tremblingly. He just glanced at it and saw the three words "Lu Wangzhou" on the first one.

If the prince could appoint Lu Wangzhou, then two problems could be solved at once, which would be great.

Xiao Jingheng naturally saw the name of the trusted minister whom he didn't want to see, but he still had a conscience and knew that a virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband. If he wanted to achieve great things in the front court, the backyard had to be more stable.

As for this Han family, regardless of his motives for this action, he is just confused. It was not enough that he dodged at that time, he had to kick him before he could see clearly, right?

Xiao Jingheng put the first page of paper on the table and said coldly: "Go to Yongshou Palace, Han Desheng, you should prepare well on the way. I don't want to waste any more words on this matter."

"Yes. I know, don't worry." Han Desheng followed the prince closely.

In Yongshou Palace, the deputy general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stayed in the store with the Empress Dowager and talked for a long time before being released. He was also wondering why the Empress Dowager looked like she was deliberately delaying time today?

"Mrs. Han, Miss Han, please come in."

The grandfather and grandson followed Nanny Lin into the palace and said, "Pay your respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother gently cut off a very soft branch and said lightly, "Get up."

"It has been a long time since I last came to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. I heard Yan'er say that she had the chance to meet the Crown Prince, so I finally feel comfortable coming to pay my respects to you." Old Lady Han smiled flatteringly.

"Oh? Are you destined to be with the prince?" The Queen Mother still trimmed the branches with her back to people.

Before Old Lady Han could say anything, the Empress Dowager continued, "Chu Chunhua, you haven't changed in your entire life. The last time you came, you instigated your husband to offer his beauty to the late emperor, and then you pretended to be wronged and came to apologize to me."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother glanced at Han Yaner and said, "This time, they actually let my granddaughter get involved in the game to harm my grandson. The current Crown Prince has arrived."

When the Empress Dowager heard what Nanny Lin said, she thought of Miss Han who came to her on her own initiative that day, and she could guess what was going on. After all, Chu Chunhua was really old-fashioned.

"Empress Dowager, I'm innocent. I've asked my granddaughter repeatedly, and she said exactly this." Old Lady Han pushed Han Yan'er and said, "Hurry up and speak for yourself. The Empress Dowager will make the decision for you."

The Queen Mother glanced at Han Yaner and asked, "Child, what do you say?"

"Your servant, your servant—" Han Yan'er stammered and dared not speak. Old Mrs. Han also realized that something bad had happened.
