The scar on Shichu's face has been undergoing treatment since she escaped from the Anding Marquis Mansion. However, in order not to attract other people's attention, she has been controlling the speed of recovery. She covers her face with gauze when buying a house or selling steamed buns, with her face uncovered.

There were only dull marks on her forehead, so she wouldn’t scare others. When others asked, she said that having a birthmark on her face was not good-looking, so others were embarrassed to continue asking.

While selling buns, she had also been paying attention to the situation in the Anding Marquis Mansion. It was still the same old story. It was nothing more than the old lady of the Anding Marquis Mansion urging the eldest concubine to have a child and to take concubines for the eldest son, while Anding Marquis and the eldest son Zhang Qishan were still working conscientiously.

The appearance of a pure minister who runs errands for the emperor and is only loyal to the emperor.

But Shi Chu knew that in the original world plot, Zhang Qishan was not just a pure minister who was loyal to the emperor. He had long since surrendered to the fourth prince in private, and also helped the fourth prince a lot by virtue of his position.

This was also the reason why he had a smooth official career and a high position of power in the following decades, because he bet on the candidate of the next emperor and helped the future emperor fight for the throne with great force, and he had the merit of following the dragon. Therefore,

After the new emperor came to power, he naturally became the new emperor's confidant.

At the beginning, I thought that I might as well expose his ambition as early as possible. The current emperor is only in his forties and in good health. He is in the prime of life. He does not want to see his son looking forward to him now.

Die and fight for the position under his butt.

In the plot of the original world, Zhang Qishan and the new emperor hid deeply for a long time without revealing any ambitions in front of the current emperor. Only then did they dispel the emperor's wariness. Finally, by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger without any threat, they finally won the

Big seat.

Now, if the emperor knew that his fourth son, who seemed ordinary and had no achievements, was actually hidden deeper than any other prince, and that Zhang Qishan had surrendered to the fourth prince early, what would the emperor think?

He will be very angry and disappointed with his son, and resents his son for starting to calculate his position early, but in his heart he is not willing to admit that his son is so unfilial, so of course he blames others, thinking that it must be his son's side.

It is the fault of those treacherous ministers who lead evil sons with ill intentions!

And Zhang Qishan, as a capable minister and confidant around the fourth prince, isn't he the kind of person who has evil intentions and brings bad luck to the fourth prince? If the emperor doesn't vent his anger on him, who else will he vent his anger on?

Just then, I got a piece of news from the plot of the original world. The fourth prince had a gold mine in Liangcheng, northwest of China. However, he did not inform the court, but quietly concealed it himself. After all, fighting for the throne requires a lot of money.

The person who manages this gold mine for him is his confidant Zhang Qishan.

This is a huge clue, and it can definitely make Zhang Qishan suffer a serious fall. If he is not determined to seize the title and confiscate his family, it is easy to behead him.

So Shichu didn't hesitate to write an anonymous letter about this matter to several of the fourth prince's rivals: the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince. None of his sworn brothers were left behind, so he didn't have to worry about which prince wanted to pinch him.

Using this leverage to coerce the fourth prince to give up his interests, instead of pressing it so that the fourth prince and Zhang Qishan could escape.

What's even more damaging is that Shichu also told the news to Wang Yushi, the most ruthless person in the court. Wang Yushi was the real pure minister. If any minister did something bad, he would scold them until they were bloody.

The people he targets will turn into skin even if they don’t die.

After telling Zhang Qishan and his master behind the scenes, I was in a good mood at the beginning. Although this matter would not explode all at once, it had already planted a fire bomb for the two of them, and it would explode sooner or later.<

/p>

A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. He was not in a hurry at the beginning. It was best to wait until Gui Yun came to give birth to her child. This incident broke out when she was the happiest in her life. At that time, she was both at the peak and at the same time sinking.

The starting point of the abyss is where you can relieve your anger.

As for that innocent child? Alas, who told him to be the child of Gui Yunlai and Zhang Qishan? In the original world plot, he was born as the golden treasure of the Anding Marquis Mansion and enjoyed all the glory and wealth. There is no reason why he cannot live with his parents in this life.

The hard life of being homeless, right? Isn’t this because he dislikes the poor and loves the rich? If he wants to blame, he can only blame his parents.

This period of time is when students take the provincial examination to test their talents. At the beginning, even those selling steamed buns on the street felt an unusually tense atmosphere. There were many more officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, and some gangsters became calm.

Many.

But this has nothing to do with Shichu, and she doesn’t take the exam to be a scholar.

On this day, she sold out her buns early. After going home and taking a nap for an hour, she began to prepare the ingredients for making buns the next day. She found that there was not enough flour, so she went to the street to buy flour.

When she was walking home carrying a large bag of flour, she suddenly found that the street was much livelier. She kept her ears open and listened for a while. It turned out that the provincial examination had just ended today and the students had just come out of the examination room, which was why it was so noisy.

She only listened to it for a few times and then went home without having to worry about anything else.

However, as soon as she reached the entrance of Wutong Lane where her home was located, she saw a person lying on the ground.

She walked over and took a look, oh, he was an acquaintance. The scholar who often bought buns at her bun stall was also her neighbor Zhu Yanli. Didn't Zhu Yanli go to take the scholar exam? Why did he faint here?

When Shichu thought about it, he felt that he was confused. Zhu Yanli had obviously just returned from the exam, but he didn't expect that he fainted on the road before he got home.

Her body was really weak, and she sighed with emotion at the beginning. She wanted to ignore the scholar, but after waiting here for a while, no one passed by. She could not leave the scholar to others, so she had to throw it on her back angrily.

Flour, help this unfortunate scholar up.

Shichu helped Zhu Yanli to lean against the wall of someone else's house on the roadside, and took his pulse. He found that he was weak and had fainted due to exhaustion of energy. Shichu glanced at his thin body and knew If he doesn't pay attention to his health, he will be like Jia Zhu in Dream of Red Mansions and fail the exam again.

And he is even worse off than Jia Zhu. At least Jia Zhu has money and precious medicinal materials to replenish his body. But Zhu Yanli’s family is so poor that his stomach is almost full. Where can he have the money to replenish his body?

At the beginning, it seemed that he could see his end. Either he would die of exhaustion of essence and blood, or he would die of starvation.

It was also death. For a moment, Shichu wanted to leave him here and not save him at all. Anyway, even if he was saved, he wouldn't live long, so why should she waste her efforts?
