Because of these words, Shang Taisun became more and more convinced that Wang Zhiyao had lost his memory. The country was open to people, and no daughter-in-law dared to accuse her father-in-law like this. Moreover, the disdain in Wang Zhiyao's eyes was not hypocrisy at all.

If he had known that Wang Zhiyao had felt sorry for his biological father Wang Yixin, he would not have been easily deceived.

Both Wang Yixin and Gu Tianze kept the events of that year very closely a secret and never wanted to ruin Wang Zhiyao's image of being a filial daughter.

It wasn't until Duke Dingguo disappeared that Wang Zhiyao followed Taisun Shang to his residence in the capital, secretly wondering why Duke Dingguo was going to the palace.

I heard that Duke Dingguo protected the Gu family and was not punished.

Wang Yixin was suffering from the torture of Jin Yiwei, and Wang Zhiyao felt extremely uncomfortable.

Wang Yixin has always been a noble son and has never suffered anything. Even if he lived in embarrassment in his previous life, he would not have been tortured.

Literati are generally relatively sensitive both physically and mentally, and can easily collapse under torture. Compared with generals who are accustomed to life and death and have fought on the battlefield, Duke Ding's mental and physical endurance is much higher than that of Wang. Translated letter.

It's not that she had to suffer for Duke Ding to be happy, but between Duke Ding and Wang Yixin, shouldn't the person who really suffered torture be Gu Tianze's biological father?

While Wang Zhiyao secretly criticized Wang Yixin for not being flexible, she also vaguely felt that the reason why Wang Yixin was so persistent was not only because of the integrity of the civil servants, but also because of herself.

At the moment she couldn't believe that Duke Dingguo and Taisun Shang's subordinates were closely following her. Once they entered the mansion, it would probably be even more difficult for her to escape.

"This box of rouge is very special."

Wang Zhiyao's eyes lit up and she walked into the shop selling rouge and gouache. While Taisun Shang was in a daze, he quickly walked to the counter, picked up the rouge box and looked around, then opened the rouge and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it gently. After sniffing it, it seemed like she couldn't put it down.

The vendor smiled and said: "Madam, you really have good eyesight. These rouge gouache are all... Madam will not believe it when I tell you. The rouge gouache is run by Chang Xinhou. It is not common to see rouge gouache prepared by Changxin Hou."

Marquis Changxin?

The pervert Chang Xinhou, who once was all over the capital and almost died on a woman's belly, has changed as much as Wang Yixin, who has returned from his lost ways. Chang Xinhou still does not pursue an official career and does not do his job properly, but he quits sex and devotes all his energy to it. Used in business.

He actually invented many different types of rouge gouache with different scents.

This also made Dingguo Gong very angry. He tried to persuade him to give up this business several times, but Chang Xinhou still enjoyed it. All the rouge and gouache he made by himself were sold at high prices. Many ladies in the capital rushed to buy it. Wang Zhiyao calculated too long. In the past few years, the wealth that Marquis Xin had accumulated by earning money from ladies was not much less than that of Duke Dingguo.

The rouge and gouache labeled with the Chang Xin Hou brand was even sold to foreign countries and was exchanged for a lot of gold.

He is Gu Tianze's uncle. When he wanted to recognize Wang Zhiyao as his adopted daughter, Wang Yixin declined. From that day on, Wang Yixin looked at Changxinhou with defensive eyes. He prevented Wang Zhiyao from meeting Changxinhou until she married Gu Tianze. Later, when visiting the elders of the Gu family, I met Marquis Changxin again.

When she got married, Marquis Changxin also gave her expensive gifts. After careful calculation, there was only a box of banknotes. Wang Yixin looked very unhappy at that time.

Wang Zhiyao glanced at the pearl ring on the ring finger of her left hand. Then she looked to the side. It was said that Marquis Changxin had a quirk. Sometimes he would appear on the second floor of the cosmetics shop to see the wealthy ladies fighting for money to buy cosmetics. I wonder if he is today. Is it the same as in the past?

Marquis Changxin was more trusted by her than Duke Dingguo.

"Is this what Chang Xinhou did?"

"Madam, you don't believe it?" the vendor said, "I can guarantee that every piece of gouache sold is made by Marquis Changxin himself."

"The scent smells unique, but a lot of oil is added to it. I remember the recipe for powder, so don't fool me with inferior products. I'm not someone from outside who has never seen the world."

Wang Zhiyao closed the powder in anger and threw the box heavily to the vendor, "Marquis Changxin has such a great reputation, but he is just a deceitful person who steals his reputation. If the gouache is applied to his face, he may have red pimples on his face tomorrow."

Taisun Shang frowned and said, "If you don't like it, I'll take you somewhere else."

Chang Xinhou also cared about his family.

He is still very cautious.

Wang Zhiyao sneered and said: "I just can't see how they deceive people. I won't buy the gouache. I will get angry just looking at it."

The vendor said: "This is the first time I have seen a lady who comes to cause trouble when she can't afford it. No one has ever dared to say that my Lord Marquis is not good at making makeup."

"Who do you think can't afford it?"

Wang Zhiyao seemed to be stimulated. Seeing the passers-by looking this way, Shang Taisun grabbed Wang Zhiyao's arm and said, "Forget it."

His eyes showed a bit of suspicion, and he became suspicious of Wang Zhiyao making a big fuss. Wang Zhiyao restrained his temper and walked forward angrily. Shang Taisun just quickly led his people to chase after him, and they walked away.

The merchant had never seen such a bad-tempered lady, and he muttered in a low voice, not very happy. He looked up and said, "Master Marquis?!"

"I just heard someone say that gouache is fake?"

"An ignorant lady, looking at wealth and wealth but looking poor, said that there is oil in makeup..."

Chang Xinhou frowned and said, "Bring me the powder."

"Master Hou?"

"Which makeup box was it that she just took?"

Marquis Changxin became more and more anxious. Only the Gu family knew the formula of the powder. No, only Aze and Yao Yatou knew about it. His brother Dingguo Gong was not interested in it. On the contrary, Aze helped him expand business channels.

The sales were so good. In addition to the excellent quality, Gu Tianze really helped him a lot.

He also talked to Aze about the powder formula.

"This is the box."

The merchant handed the powder to Marquis Changxin.

Marquis Changxin opened the powder box, took a look at it, and said, "Where did the group of people go just now? What does the man accompanying the woman look like?"

It won't be Aze.

But he recognized the pearls in the powder box...the light pink beads. They were one of the gifts he gave to Aze. He heard that Aze made the beads into a ring and gave it to Wang Zhiyao.

He is a family man, so how could he not care about the changes in the court?

It's just that others spoke softly. His younger brother couldn't listen to what he said. He could only earn more money to help the Gu family with management. After all, the Gu family's property was monitored by Jin Yiwei, and only his cosmetics shop could still operate independently.

He has never believed that Gu Tianze was plotting rebellion. Recently, he often walked around the streets in the name of business, hoping that Gu Tianze could return to the capital... He used to have a bad reputation. The Queen Mother and the princes looked down on the useless Marquis Changxin.

Gu Jia. He is the most neglected person.

Even Jin Yiwei didn't bother to monitor him.

So he hoped that if Aze came to Beijing alive, he would find him first!

At the same time, he also secretly sent money to Jin Yiwei, begging them to be merciful to Wang Yixin. He could not guarantee that Wang Yixin would not be punished, but at least let Wang Yixin eat better so that he could survive this dark day.

He didn't believe that Emperor Qianyuan died.

There will always be a day when the clouds will clear up and chaos will be brought into order.

How could he not be anxious when he saw the pearl hidden in the powder box?

"Xiangdong, my servant saw that they were heading east. The man was in his twenties, less than thirty, with a strong build. There were a few... people following him. He didn't look like a wealthy businessman. Instead, he looked a bit like... like he had practiced martial arts.

of."

The more the merchant thought about it, the more frightened he became. He broke into cold sweat and said, "He doesn't look like a good person."

Chang Xinhou held the powder box tightly and looked around. There was no guarantee that there was no Jin Yiwei watching behind him. He sent a trusted servant to the east to find out what was going on. He stood there and waited for news.

If that person was a Yao girl, she must have been separated from Aze and fell into the hands of the enemy. Otherwise, she would not have used this roundabout method to report the news.

The large-scale rescue of Wang Zhiyao could only leak the news. Changxinhou also knew the reason why Wang Yixin persisted. Once Wang Zhiyao fell into the hands of the Queen Mother, Wang Yixin would agree to anything if Wang Zhiyao's life was threatened.

Don't ask him why he feels this way, he just knows.

The officials in the capital privately admired Wang Yixin's integrity, but only Marquis Changxin knew that it was not the integrity of the civil servant, but a loving father's heart to protect his daughter.

In the eyes of Duke Dingguo, the most important person is the Gu family, but in the eyes of Wang Yixin, the most important person is always Wang Zhiyao, even his son Wang Duanchun is behind him.

But after a while, the servant who went to inquire about the news came back and whispered a few words in the ear of Marquis Chang Xin. Marquis Chang Xin nodded slowly, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He had too few people available, but he knew Wang Zhiyao's whereabouts.

Point, in the future... in the future, when A Ze returns to Beijing, he can tell the news to A Ze.

He did not say the identity of the woman who was looking for him. For the sake of Wang Zhiyao's reputation, the less people knew about Wang Zhiyao falling into the hands of his enemies, the better.

"You can quietly monitor the movements over there for me."

"As you command, Lord Marquis."

"Remember, don't let anyone know." Chang Xinhou sternly ordered Chang Sui, "Bring out all your past skills. You also know the current situation of the Gu family, so don't be discovered by Jin Yiwei."

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I understand."

Chang Sui was the most trusted person of Chang Xin Hou. He helped his master to inquire about the beauty. He just thought that the master liked beauties. Looking at the figure of the lady, he knew that she must be a woman with outstanding appearance.

The Queen Mother herself did not pay much attention to Chang Xinhou, who had become a merchant. In addition, Lu Yanxun was causing trouble, and the factory guards who arranged to monitor Chang Xinhou were mostly new soldiers with tight hands. As a result, Chang Xinhou's Chang followers

Only in this way can we avoid surveillance and watch the movements of Shang Taisun and others nearby.

******

When the chamberlain returned to the palace from Jinyiwei Zhenbei Fusi, before he handed the letter to Wang Zhixuan, Princess Heyue, who had been under house arrest in Cining Palace by the Queen Mother, ran out and asked: "How is Wang Jinzhi?"

Since the news of Emperor Qianyuan's disappearance came, the maids in Cining Palace and the harem have changed their name to Princess.

Nowadays, the Empress Dowager is the one who controls the harem, and Princess Heyue was deprived of her title by Emperor Qianyuan. After the Queen Mother chooses a successor, the new emperor avoids taboo and gives Taojiang a gift to the Queen Mother's only daughter, Princess Heyue.

"Go back to the princess, Wang...he is fine."

As a close confidant of the Queen Mother, the chamberlain naturally knew that the Queen Mother wanted to obtain the "evidence" of Gu Tianze's rebellion from Wang Yixin. He also understood that Princess Heyue had a deep affection for Wang Yixin, "I have something important to ask to see the Queen Mother."

"I just want to know if he is okay? Did Jin Yiwei torture him? Did he hurt him?"

"Princess Heyue."

Wang Zhixuan rushed over on the order of the Queen Mother. Hearing Princess Heyue's question, she almost laughed out loud. How could Wang Yixin be completely unscathed when he was imprisoned in Zhenbei Prefecture? The question of whether he was injured is too silly, "You

Don't worry about a rebellious traitor. If he was smart enough, he would have testified against Gu Tianze long ago."
