Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story
Chapter 29 Cui Hao deceives Zhao Baozhu
Zhao Yuanqing returned to the princess's mansion and reviewed what happened in the Golden Palace.
There were five people who fired at her just now, three imperial envoys, the chief of the Merchants Bureau Tang Xinjian, the Grand Master of Imperial Household Guo Fenghao, and Cui Yumao. A total of six people were involved in this incident.
According to the previous clues, Cui Yumao and Guo Fenghao came up with the idea together, and then asked the craftsmen of the Stone Carving Museum to make a stone tablet to frame Zhao Yuanqing. Then the imperial envoy took the lead and went to the emperor to impeach Zhao Yuanqing, and other ministers echoed them.
Their purpose was very clear. First, they wanted to accuse Zhao Yuanqing of competing with the people for profit. Second, they wanted to take Zui Xiangfeng away. The third purpose was very hidden. If the reputation of the legitimate princess Zhao Yuanqing was ruined, the prince and the queen would inevitably be in trouble. This was an action that killed two birds with one stone.
The Imperial Envoy was in cahoots with Guo Fenghao and Cui Yumao, and what about Tang Xinjian? Who was behind him? This question still needed to be investigated by the Crown Prince, and Zhao Yuanqing didn't know either.
But the emperor's attitude was very subtle. It was obvious that someone was behind this to frame Zhao Yuanqing, but he hastily closed the case and did not investigate further. It was really puzzling.
This matter almost succeeded. The only variable was Abbas. Guo Fenghao and others did not expect that there would be a real one among a bunch of fake Western Region merchants.
This was Zhao Yuanqing's advance arrangement. When she knew about the existence of such a stone tablet, she came up with this idea. She ordered Meng Jiu to find Abbas among the Western Region merchants of Zui Xiangfeng, and promised him a large sum of money to let him help her do this. Sure enough, Abbas became the key to victory.
Zhao Yuanqing suddenly remembered something. Wasn't it Guo Xun, the eldest son of Guo Fenghao, who invited Hatalon to Wanhua Mountain? It seemed that Guo Fenghao must have been involved in the Yuzhen Temple incident. This person needed to be investigated carefully.
She called Du Xu from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Du Xu used to be a scout who specialized in gathering intelligence. It was most appropriate to entrust the secret investigation of Guo Fenghao to him.
Things here have come to an end for the time being. According to the time, it’s time to go to Cui’s house to ask for things.
Let’s talk about the Cui family first. Three days ago, Cui Hao listened to his parents, dressed up well, and went to the palace to find Zhao Baozhu.
Zhao Baozhu came out of the back hall awkwardly and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Cui Hao held her hand and said gently, "Baozhu, are you angry now? If not, hit me twice. Blame it on me for not doing my best and making you angry."
As he said this, he pulled Zhao Baozhu's hand and slapped it on his face. As a princess, Zhao Baozhu had never experienced this before. It made her feel both novel and close. She was coaxed into a good mood and burst out laughing.
"Okay, I don't blame you. It's all your sister's fault. She insisted on having that spice and embarrassed me in front of Zhao Yuanqing!"
"I've already told her to be more restrained in the future."
Zhao Baozhu nodded, "That's about right."
The two of them whispered to each other for a while. Seeing that Zhao Baozhu was in a good mood, Cui Hao took the opportunity to say, "Baozhu, I've encountered a difficult problem this time and I'd like to ask for your help."
"what's up?"
Cui Hao sighed, "Come to think of it, this matter is related to Princess Shanzhen. She gave me a lot of things in the past, and now that she knows I'm with you, she actually wants to take them back!"
"What? Zhao Yuanqing is so rude! As a princess, how can you ask for something back after giving it away?"
"That's right, I didn't expect that either."
Zhao Baozhu said indifferently, "If she really wants it, you can return it and smash those things at Zhao Yuanqing's feet to make her lose face!"
Cui Hao was speechless. He wanted to do so, but those things were gone. How could he return them?
"Uh, Baozhu, you said it very well. I also want to return it, but it's a bit difficult."
"What's the difficulty?"
"...Some of the things I've used have no way of returning them, but Princess Shanzhen said I can exchange them for money."
"If she wants money, give it to her!"
"..."
Cui Hao wanted to curse, "Give it to me, give it to me, give me shit. If their family had so much money, why would they come to you, Zhao Baozhu?"
Cui Hao suspected that Zhao Baozhu was deliberately trying to get him going. Otherwise, why didn't she respond to his questions? She was even worse than Zhao Yuanqing. In the past, she would just come to him when he asked her!
In fact, it was not Zhao Baozhu's fault. She didn't know how much the Cui family wanted from Zhao Yuanqing, nor did she know that the Cui family didn't want to pay for it themselves.
Cui Hao remained silent for a long time. Zhao Baozhu saw his expression of disbelief and then belatedly asked, "Mr. Cui, is this what you wanted my help with?"
"Yes, Baozhu, Princess Shanzhen wants too much, and our family can't afford it all in a short time. Can you help?"
Zhao Baozhu was puzzled. "How much does Zhao Yuanqing want? How come your family can't provide it?"
Cui Hao was upset again after hearing this, as if someone was mocking his family for being poor. However, he still had to endure it. He took out a booklet from his sleeve and said, "That's all."
Zhao Baozhu took it, wow, it was dozens of pages long!
"Is this all given to you by Zhao Yuanqing?"
"Yeah, but she gave them to me on her own initiative. I never asked her for them."
The more Zhao Baozhu frowned, the uglier her expression became. Zhao Yuanqing was too generous to give the Cui family gold, silver, jewelry, antique jades, rare books, calligraphy and paintings by famous people, food, drinks, entertainment, shops, etc. How could he give so many things to the Cui family!
A thought arose in Zhao Baozhu's mind: the Cui family is too greedy. Just like Cui Yi, they like to take other people's things.
Seeing her expression was off, Cui Hao quickly explained, "Baozhu, many of these things are still there, but some have been lost for ages. We're at a loss, so we've asked you to come and find a solution. This is also for your own good. If our family develops a bad reputation, it will affect our marriage."
This is also what Zhao Baozhu is worried about. She and Cui Hao are about to get married. If the Cui family's reputation is ruined, she will also be embarrassed.
"How much will it cost?"
"Uh, probably, at least two thousand gold..."
"Two thousand gold?"
Zhao Baozhu frowned. "Do you need so much? I can't come up with it right now. Wait for me to collect it. Come back tomorrow."
Cui Hao held Zhao Baozhu's hand and said tenderly, "Baozhu, you are so kind! Once Princess Shanzhen's affairs are settled, we will immediately ask the Emperor to grant us a marriage, and we can be together forever."
Zhao Baozhu blushed, "Okay, I want to be with you too."
Cui Hao painted a big pie for Zhao Baozhu and left satisfied.
Zhao Baozhu returned to the palace and ordered her personal maid, "Xiangyun, bring me my money box."
"Yes."
Zhao Baozhu opened the box. All her rewards over the years were in it. There were quite a few gold and silver jewelry, as well as many small gold gadgets, but they all had the palace's seal and could not be given directly to Cui Hao.
This is why the princes and princesses opened shops. They had a lot of valuable things in their hands, but most of them could not be used.
Zhao Baozhu put down the box and went to find Concubine Hui, "Mother, give me two thousand gold coins. I need them urgently."
"What do you want so much money for?"
