Chapter 33 The plan begins
"Young Master Wen, you don't need to be so polite."
"Now, you and I are partners."
Wen Guzhuyu respectfully replied, "Miss, please give me any instructions. I will certainly carry them out."
Jiang Zhi walked to the table and sat down. "Sit down and we'll talk again."
Wen Guzhu and Jiang Zhi sat facing each other.
Jiang Zhi took a bag of gold from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"Listen carefully."
"I want you to go to Zuiyu Tower in three days and specifically request a top courtesan named Xiangyi. Pay her two ingots of gold each day for seven consecutive days."
"Whether you touch her or not during this time is up to you."
"Even if you don't touch her, you should still make her reveal your true feelings."
"I will also arrange for someone to assist you and act in a play with you."
After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Guzhuyu.
"This contains things you want to say to Xiangyi, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and things you want to do."
Wen Guzhu opened the letter, glanced at it, his expression turned cold, and he looked up at Jiang Zhi.
"Miss, you trust me that much?"
Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "Of course. Young Master Wen is so handsome. I believe that what a woman can never forget is her past infatuation."
"Similarly, I also believe that Young Master Wengu can accomplish this task."
Wen Guzhu looked at Jiang Zhi with a scrutinizing gaze. The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although she looked childish, she had a composure that was beyond her years.
However, he still couldn't guess Jiang Zhi's identity; she was probably a famous noblewoman from Yanjing.
He lowered his head, staring intently at her, his words carrying a hint of seriousness, "I will follow your arrangements, Miss, and go to Zuiyu Tower in three days."
"it is good."
Jiang Zhi didn't know much about Xiang Yi; he could only glean information from fragmented memories of his previous life.
In her past life, after her brother went to prison, Xiangyi's fate was also tragic.
The Zhou family, having lost their son, had only this one heir left. Unwilling to accept this, they took Xiangyi back from Zuiyu Tower and sent her to a beggar on the roadside. She contracted syphilis and died on the roadside.
In this conspiracy, only Liu benefited.
Jiang Zhi and his companion left the inn and boarded a carriage through the side gate.
Jiang Zhi looked up and glanced at a tree to the north, her eyes gleaming.
A man in black, hiding behind a tree, was quietly watching them.
After their carriage left, the man in black also disappeared from the spot.
As the last rays of sunlight faded, a few birds occasionally flew across the sky.
"Your Highness, someone has come to report that the Princess Consort requests an audience."
A strange glint flashed in Gu Liang's eyes. "What does she want?"
"The princess said that His Highness took something from her room, and she wanted to check if it was there."
Qinghuai tried his best to suppress the curiosity in his heart.
Gu Liang looked towards the main courtyard.
contract?
“Take her to the flower hall,” Gu Liang said.
Jiang Zhi came without any maids. She sat quietly on a chair in the flower hall, looking beautiful, dignified, and composed.
After waiting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Gu Liang stepped through the door.
Gu Liang had no choice but to speak, "I have no intention of getting entangled with Your Highness. I came here just to spend a little time with Your Highness and show that my husband and I are a harmonious couple."
Her explanation was reasonable. Gu Liang walked up to her, unfolded the papers in his hand, let her take a look, and then put them back in his pocket.
Jiang Zhi smiled faintly, "I know Your Highness would not lie to me, so Your Highness need not be so nervous."
Gu Liang said calmly, "I'm worried that if this paper gets leaked, people will use it as private matters and make fun of you."
The contract bears the names of both individuals. If anyone were to see this contract, they would likely concoct numerous stories.
Is he that kind?
Jiang Zhi feigned a smile: "It's Your Highness's thoughtfulness."
The contract was merely a pretext for her to see Gu Liang; she had more important things she hadn't asked.
Her smile froze instantly. "Then why did Your Highness send someone to follow me?"
Jiang Zhi asked the question directly.
Gu Liang's reply was equally direct: "I'm very busy, I don't have time for you."
"it is good."
Jiang Zhi sneered, "Your Highness can rest assured, I am not a clingy woman, and I hope Your Highness will remember the contract."
Gu Liang turned her head slightly. "I won't forget."
Jiang Zhi blinked. "Okay."
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
Seeing that she seemed to be deep in thought, Gu Liang asked with his hands behind his back.
"Your Highness, would you be willing to accompany me on my return visit to my parents' home tomorrow?"
The third day after the wedding is an important day for the bride to return to her parents' home.
Gu Liang is a prince, and if he insists on not traveling with his wife, Jiang Zhi can't do anything about it.
I'm afraid that Liu and Jiang Luan will use this as an excuse to solve a problem.
Jiang Zhi raised her head and looked at Gu Liang.
"why are you not going?"
Gu Liang seemed to find her question ridiculous, "You are the Princess Consort of Liang."
He would not let the Princess of Liang receive the treatment she deserved.
After hearing Gu Liang's words, Jiang Zhi slowly looked up at him and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
Seeing the smile in her eyes, Gu Liang smiled slightly and asked, "Do we still need to draw up a written agreement?"
Jiang Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "No, there's no ink or brush here. I believe Your Highness wouldn't lie to me."
She took advantage of the pleasant atmosphere and decided to quit while she was ahead.
He stood up, bowed to Gu Liang, and then made a move to leave.
"Wait a minute," Gu Liang called out to her.
Jiang Zhi looked up in confusion and saw a guard walk in.
Gu Liang took a food box from the guard and handed it to Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi was taken aback.
"Osmanthus Milk Crisp".
Gu Liang said, "It was a congratulatory gift from someone else."
Jiang Zhi smiled, pursing her lips. "It's quite unique."
When she last visited Jiu Xia, she passed by Wei Jian Li, which was packed with people. She then gave up the idea of having someone buy osmanthus milk pastries. Unexpectedly, she was able to get them without any effort today.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
She took the food box and said goodbye.
In the Peach Blossom Spring of the Liang Prince's Mansion, Doctor Han squatted in the herb garden, pulling out newly grown weeds with his bare hands.
Bai Wuyou squatted down beside him, "Your Highness's sense of smell has become even more acute."
"How did you find out?"
Dr. Han casually tossed the weeds into the bamboo basket.
Bai Wuyou remained silent.
Dr. Han glanced at him with a smile, "What did you do this time that made him smell it?"
Bai Wuyou didn't laugh. "The black lines on his wrists are moving further and further forward, the toxins in his body are becoming increasingly uncontrollable, and his five senses are becoming more and more acute. This is not a good thing."
Dr. Han patted the mud off his hands. "That's why we're needed."
He turned to look at Bai Wuyou, "You've already reviewed the medical records for the past six months. His Highness appears outwardly normal, but his internal health has been severely depleted."
Bai Wuyou lowered his eyelids and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve. "The toxins in his body cannot be suppressed by medicinal baths alone. There are ten pills in here. Have him take them every ten days. Within a hundred days, it will ensure that the black lines on his hands will not advance further."
After saying that, he took out a prescription and said, "This is the prescription for the medicine. You can adjust it to nourish Your Highness's body according to my prescription."
Dr. Han took the prescription and frowned as he read it.
