Chapter 145: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 24
Liu Bojiao clenched his fists. He had suffered two serious losses in a row. Now no one seemed to be a good person to him. They tested each of his women one by one.
Zhang Jinwei is no exception.
"Last night, I took the opportunity of drinking the wedding wine with her and changed the wine for her to the strongest one. But she fainted after just a small sip." Liu Baijiao couldn't help but close his eyes when he thought of what happened last night.
His voice became suppressed, "She can actually pick up every one of my secret codes."
"If one person gets onychomycosis, it can infect two people."
Do you have the Dedication Blessing? I will exchange it with the Harmony Blessing. "
“Odds change but evens don’t; the sign depends on the quadrant.”
"Potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, tin, lead, hydrogen."
"Red umbrella, white pole, let's lie down on the board together after eating."
Gu Li:-----
Liu Bojiao knows a lot.
Last night, Liu Baijiao kept repeating the secret code over and over again, but damn it, his newly married wife actually got every one of them right, without missing a single one!
Even after they finished, she was still looking at him with an unsatisfied look, as if waiting for him to say some other secret code for her to respond.
At that moment, Liu Baijiao collapsed.
Gu Li's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He could actually come up with a way to test Zhang Jinwei by making her speak the truth after drinking. Gu Li could only say that his drinking over the years was not in vain.
After suppressing the emotion of shouting for a long time, he said, "Cousin, although I don't know whether the organization you mentioned will harm people, if you strangle Zhang Jinwei to death today, have you ever thought about how to explain to the emperor?"
"Also, cousin, have you ever thought about why the emperor chose Zhang Jinwei when there are so many women of the right age in the capital?"
"Why?" Liu Baijiao asked.
"Madame Yu has been taken away by the Emperor. He will definitely find out about her past. If the Emperor knows what organization Madame Yu came from, just like my cousin, then the Emperor has assigned someone from the same place to you. It is very likely that he is using this person to test or monitor you."
"Inspection, surveillance?"
Gu Li hinted, "It's probably related to what happened to you in the clan residence those days, cousin!"
Liu Baijiao's leg seemed to hurt even more. His hand unconsciously moved to his thigh and he could clearly feel the gauze wrapped under his robe.
The emperor hasn't let me go yet. Is this to test whether he has any ulterior motives?
Gu Li continued, "If the emperor hadn't discovered Zhang Jinwei's secret, then my cousin would not have been able to reveal the princess's identity."
"Why?" Liu Baijiao looked at Gu Li again, as if he regarded her as his life-saving straw.
"Think about it. Why are there several strange women with unknown origins appearing around you one after another, and each of them has special skills? Wouldn't anyone be suspicious of why these people came to you?"
Seeing that Liu Baijiao didn't quite understand, Gu Li revealed an important piece of news, "There's a very famous restaurant that just opened in Beijing, called Hongyun Restaurant. Does cousin know about it?"
Liu Baijiao nodded. When Hongyunlou opened, he had not yet been confined by the emperor, but he had gone there to eat once.
It is indeed very famous. The food in the building is fresh and delicious. The powerful and wealthy families in Beijing always like to have banquets there.
Gu Li said: "The owner of Hongyun Building is Zhang Jinwei!"
Liu Baijiao was stunned, and his hands on his legs trembled slightly.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, if they had such great ability, they could find anyone else, but they always chose to find him. They caught him and caused trouble!
Gu Li added fuel to the fire, "I only found out about this accidentally. I don't know if my cousin's wife has any other unique businesses outside."
"Also, I wonder if my cousin has asked about his wife's past in the Zhang family." Liu Baijiao probably didn't have the energy to investigate someone he didn't care about at all.
"The current head of the Zhang family is my cousin's stepmother. My cousin's situation in the Zhang family was very bad before. But now, the other daughters of the Zhang family have married shamefully, and my stepmother has been involved in a terrible scandal. And her son was even deprived of the qualification to take the imperial examination. Among the many children of the Zhang family, only she, Zhang Jinwei, got the marriage arranged by the emperor, and married the best----"
Gu Li paused, "So, my cousin's wife may not be as weak and vulnerable as my cousin thinks. If we can get along harmoniously, then don't quarrel with each other!"
Liu Baijiao was knocked to the ground by Gu Li's phone call and was unable to recover for a long time.
Gu Li left Liu Baijiao, who was in a state of dismay, and went away.
Although Liu Bojiao was a complete scumbag who fell in love with every woman he met, he never killed the original body. He just followed the instructions of his elders and gave the cousin who grew up with him a position as his wife to ensure her prosperity for the rest of her life.
He just didn't love her. At most, he ignored the disrespect of the concubines in the backyard towards her, fostered the ambitions of the women in the backyard, and indulged their secret plots.
Gu Li didn't want to kill him, but she wouldn't let him have an easy life either.
Since Zhang Jinwei's presence would make him panic and frightened, she would help Zhang Jinwei stay in the Prince's Mansion and secure her position as princess.
Tremble, scumbag Liu Bojiao.
When Gu Li thought of Liu Baijiao's constant fear in the future, she wanted to put her hands on her hips and laugh out loud!
Liu Baijiao became quiet. After returning to Xiyuan, he only stayed in Rui Niang's yard, as if he was dead and no one was seen.
As long as he hides well, he will have nothing to do with Zhang Jinwei.
Because of Liu Baijiao's wedding, the Queen had spread the word early on that the flower-viewing banquet would be postponed, but she did not say to what day it would be postponed.
It seems like they are taking the opportunity to not do it.
However, Gu Li was not interested in any flower-viewing banquet.
In order to escape the depressing atmosphere in the palace, Gu Li ran out almost every day.
Wanxi Pavilion, which was previously co-opened with Wei Lingyu, now belongs to Gu Li alone. The emperor gave all of Wei Lingyu's recipes for making soap and lip balm to Gu Li.
Gu Li only removed the glass products from the shelves, and the rest remained the same, and the business in the store was still booming.
Gu Li walked around the shop and saw nothing interesting. "Bai Shuang, I want to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts! The sugar-roasted chestnuts Zhao Qing brought back last time were very good."
"That's easy. We can just ask Zhao Qing where he bought it."
Zhao Qing was already waiting in the alley at the back door of Wanxi Pavilion in his carriage. When he saw his master coming out, he quickly got out of the carriage and waited aside.
"Zhao Qing, where did you buy the sugar-roasted chestnuts you brought back home yesterday?"
Zhao Qing smiled and scratched his head. "It's at the entrance of Qingxing Alley. If you like it, I'll buy it later."
Yesterday it was his turn to rest, so he went back home. On his way back home, he happened to see a man selling roasted chestnuts at the entrance of the alley, so he bought some and brought them back as a gift for Miss Baishuang.
"It's the young lady who wants to eat, let's go now!"
"Hey!" Zhao Qing quickly agreed, straightened his footrest, stepped aside, and waited for the young lady to get on the carriage.
Just then, three half-grown children came running from one end of the alley, one was running headfirst in front, and two slightly older ones were chasing and shouting behind.
