Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 708 Can you kill Gu Han for me?

Huayi, who was standing aside, had been looking at Xiao Qingyuan with tender eyes since he got on the carriage, and was quietly moving closer to him little by little.

Finally, she even reached out and deliberately touched Xiao Qingyuan's hand while pouring tea for him.

Xiao Qingyuan's mind was full of Chu Yanluo at the moment, and he didn't notice that Hua Yi touched his hand at all.

Liu Nanshi noticed it.

Her disgust for Huayi deepened. She dared to seduce a man in front of her, and who knows what disgusting things he would do behind her back!

But she didn't show any disgust on her face. She even said politely and gently, "Huayi, you don't have to wait here. I have something important to say to the prince. You should go down and guard the carriage outside. Don't let anyone else get close."

Huayi bit her lip, not daring to object: "Yes, Miss."

She responded softly, and when she got off the carriage, she deliberately touched Xiao Qingyuan's face with her sleeve.

Unfortunately, Xiao Qingyuan still didn't take it seriously. He thought Huayi just accidentally got her sleeve on his face.

"Xiao Qingyuan, there is a possibility. Have you ever thought about it?"

Xiao Qingyuan came back to his senses: "What's possible?"

"Maybe Chu Yanluo faked his death."

"impossible!"

Xiao Qingyuan flatly denied it: "I saw Chu Yanluo's body with my own eyes. She couldn't be deader! I'm sure she's dead!"

"Dead? Is it possible that she just took a breath-holding drug and tricked you into it? I heard from Huayi that Chu Yanluo seemed to know some basic medical skills."

"Do you think I'm stupid? How could you be fooled by something like this? You can't even tell if she's dead or not? I've confirmed it, she's really dead!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

Xiao Qingyuan: "..."

"Believe it or not! Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. I'm leaving!"

"and many more!"

"What else do you want?"

"I heard that you are competing with Gu Qianhan for Shen Wantang?"

"So what?"

"Not really. I just think that you alone can't snatch Gu Qianhan away. What's more, they are already married. If you try to snatch her away now, it will be unfair and you will only be laughed at."

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned ugly. "If you're deliberately trying to mock me, I advise you to stop! You don't even have the time to worry about whether I'm being laughed at or not. Don't you have enough jokes of your own? Your reputation right now is not much better than mine!"

"Xiao Qingyuan, I'm not deliberately mocking you. I'm trying to help you."

"Help me? Would you be so kind?"

"Don't worry about whether I have good intentions or bad ones. As long as I can help you, isn't that enough?"

"How are you going to help me? Can you kill Gu Qianhan for me?"

Liu Nanshi glanced at him, a sneer on her lips: "Of course I can't kill him, but there are people who can kill him!"

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "Who?"

"Of course it is—the Heavenly Family!"

"What did you say?!"

"Don't you know, Prince Xiao? The Emperor has long harbored murderous intentions towards the Gu family, but he's been using a conciliatory strategy out of fear of the military power held by the Duke of Zhenguo."

Xiao Qingyuan knew that the emperor was afraid of the Gu family, but he felt that the emperor would not kill the Gu clan. After all, the Empress was the younger sister of the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Prince had to call the Duke of Zhenguo his uncle when he saw him.

"What nonsense! Liu Nanshi, how dare you, a weak woman like you, talk nonsense about the royal family and government affairs here! Be careful or I'll report you to the palace and make you pay for it!"

Liu Nanshi wasn't afraid of him at all: "So what if I'm a woman? I know more about government affairs than you do. My father is the most trusted and respected elder in the cabinet. He holds a high position and great power. Isn't he much better than your father, a idle prince with an empty title?"

"you!!!"

"Besides, when I said the Emperor had murderous intentions towards the Gu family, I wasn't lying. In my previous life, I overheard my father talking to his staff. They had all received hints from the Emperor and were trying to find ways to frame the Gu family! It's just that my father was a man of integrity and refused to make such a false accusation."

"That's impossible! I don't believe it! The Emperor isn't the type to randomly accuse someone of a crime! He's a good Emperor, he's the wise ruler of Dafeng!"

Liu Nanshi sneered again, "Really? Then why did you take advantage of Shen Wantang's return home and kidnap her? Instead of blaming you, the Emperor summoned Gu Qianhan and Shen Wantang to the palace to be punished? Isn't this indiscriminate favoritism?"

"How do you know this?! Who told you?"

"Xiao Qingyuan, you don't think you've concealed this perfectly, do you? Who doesn't have spies in the palace? Besides me, many people know about this! And I also know that the emperor forged a letter, saying it was from Shen Wantang, just to seduce you."

"This is a misunderstanding! That letter was not written by Shen Wantang. The Emperor was deceived!"

"Nonsense, of course I know that the letter was not written by Shen Wantang. How could she, such a scheming person, leave such a big handle! What's more, she married into the Duke's Mansion, which is already a high marriage. She must be secretly happy about it. How could she possibly look for trouble and hook up with someone like you..." Idiot!

Xiao Qingyuan raised his eyebrows: "What about me? What's wrong with me? I am completely devoted to Tang'er! I am the man who loves her the most in this world. My family background in the Ning Palace is not low either. It would be a thousand times better for her to marry me than to marry Gu Qianhan!"

Liu Nanshi almost rolled her eyes at him: "Yes, yes, I will definitely be happy if I marry you, so what are you waiting for, snatch Shen Wantang away!"

Xiao Qingyuan said sullenly, "Isn't this because you can't snatch it from Gu Qianhan?"

"That's why I said, I'll help you!"

"Then just tell me how you're going to help me!"

"I'm good at imitating other people's handwriting. You know that, right?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

"Unfortunately, I just happened to see the calligraphy of the Duke of Zhenguo at my father's place."

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "What do you mean? You want to imitate the handwriting of the Duke of Zhenguo? What's the point?"

"Of course it would be useful! I can imitate his handwriting and write a letter."

"What letter?"

"Don't worry about the letter. All you have to do is quietly deliver it to the Duke of Zhenguo's study."

Xiao Qingyuan glared at her angrily: "Do you think the Duke's Mansion is as easy to enter as your cabinet minister's mansion? The Liu family is a civil official, but the Duke of Zhenguo is a military commander! The entire Duke's Mansion is heavily guarded. If you want to sneak into the Duke of Zhenguo's study quietly, that's wishful thinking! I won't go! Otherwise, I will definitely be beaten to death by Gu Qianhan!"

The ribs that were broken by Gu Qianhan last time haven't healed yet!
