“You’re still too inexperienced. Back then, the true culprits were the Empress, the Marquis of Ding’an, and us, who also helped secretly.

“Our actions went along with the Emperor’s wishes, so the Emperor followed the flow.

“Moreover, if the Emperor gave the throne to King Rui, do you think the Zhou Family or King Rui would still hold onto a grudge?”

“I see.”

“Yes, but we still have to guard against the Empress. She is a poisonous snake. It will be bad if she targets us.”

Seventh Su nodded and ate breakfast with his father.

He ordered Su Qing, his follower, to find the servant in King Rui’s Residence. He ordered the servant to keep an eye on anyone coming and going from the residence. At the same time, he also checked the forces King Rui left in the capital.

As for the Empress, who everyone was worried about, she was sick and could not even get up from her bed.

But Marquis Ding’an started to move after receiving the news.

The first target was Gu Chengrui and his wife. No matter what, Princess Pingyang had participated in the sterilization incident, so she was not wronged.

At the same time, they also sent people to attack the Fourth Prince’s wife, and they discovered that Consort Kang was pregnant.

Thus, he changed his strategy and instigated a fight between the two concubines.

Zhou Ying did not know about this. Over the past two days, while giving orders to Mother Qiu and her husband, she had not relaxed her surveillance on Xiaxiang.

Finally, on the second day’s afternoon, she discovered something unusual.

Zhou Ying noticed that Xiaxiang had asked for leave to leave the residence, and she immediately spread out her divine senses to follow her. She saw that Xiaxiang had entered a relatively well-off small courtyard north of the city.

After entering, she greeted an old woman sitting in a rocking chair in the courtyard, saying, “Granny Liu, Ziying is here to report.”

“Go in. The leader is waiting inside.” The old woman waved her hand.

Seeing this, Xiaxiang immediately entered the room and bowed. “Leader.”

“Sit down. They didn’t suspect you, did they?” A woman in her forties turned around and asked.

“Not yet.”

“Any gains?”

“Yes, the husband and wife are very cautious. They never let anyone enter their master bedroom.

“They wouldn’t even let us get close to the bedroom.

“However, they are kind to the servants, so the residence was still relatively peaceful.

“They have planned to stay in their manor for farming activities for the next two days, and they mentioned they would only return after the Grain Festival.” “Anything else?”

“No, the couple’s diet is very complicated. In addition, because of the limited ingredients now, they would eat anything available.”

“How is their relationship?”

“Very good; the best this servant has ever seen. Whether it is speaking or action, they are very tacit with each other. However, Lord Gu has always been concerned about the matters of the manor and rarely cares about the residence.”

“Zhou Ying didn’t take the medicine, did she?”

“No, by the way, Zhou Ying practices martial arts with a servant girl named Shizhu every morning and evening. According to my observation, she’s not weak.”

“Do you think you’re a match for her?”

“It’s hard to say. I’m good at using swords, but Zhou Ying excels in close combat.”

“How confident are you if I order you to seduce Gu Chengrui?”

Xiaxiang paused for a moment after hearing that. She recalled the few times she had met Gu Chengrui and remembered that he had completely ignored her. She replied reluctantly, “20% confident.”

The leader raised her head and looked at her in surprise. Although Xiaxiang was not very beautiful, she was delicate and charming. Her figure was captivating, and she was overall a beauty.

The leader did not expect her to reply with such low confidence in seducing Gu Chengrui. It seemed that the Gu couple’s relationship was unimaginably good.

“Let’s give it a try. If it doesn’t work, you still have to become Zhou Ying’s confidant as soon as possible.”

“Is there a mission?” Xiaxiang’s eyes lit up as she asked..
