Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 160 There Is Such A Heroic Woman In The Duke’S Mansion!

After a while, Emperor Wu asked again: "The disaster in Huzhou is urgent. I wonder which official is willing to go to Huzhou for me!"

All the officials looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to take over this important task.

Huzhou is a long way away, coupled with the famine, the local public security will inevitably be chaotic. Not many officials are willing to do such a thankless task, especially those with higher official positions and powerful officials.

"Since none of you are willing to go, then I..."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to transport food to Huzhou."

Just when Emperor Wu thought that everyone was unwilling, a middle-aged man wearing a fourth-grade official uniform stood in the center of the hall and said respectfully.

Emperor Wu raised his eyes and glanced at the man. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Haha, since the head of the household department is willing to go, I will leave this task to you."

"From now on, I will appoint you as the governor of Huzhou. You will go to Huzhou tomorrow with food to help the local people and solve the disaster."

"Yes." The middle-aged man immediately knelt on the ground and received the order to thank him.

Emperor Wu nodded, "Okay, let's retreat from the court!"

The officials also left one after another. The moment the head of the household department passed by Gu Chen, Gu Chen subconsciously paid more attention to him.

The other party's name is Li Hongxiong, who is about forty years old. He is the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the heir of Li Guangming, the Minister of Household Affairs.

The Ministry of Household Affairs manages the country's land, household registration, taxes, salaries, and all financial matters. If there is a famine in Huzhou, the other party will definitely be the first to know the truth.

....

After retiring from the court, Gu Chen went directly to Emperor Wu's palace and informed the eunuch before being summoned in.

Looking at Emperor Wu sitting at the desk, Gu Chen lowered his head slightly and said, "Father."

Emperor Wu nodded and asked doubtfully: "Lao Jiu, did you come here to discuss something with me?"

Gu Chen said: "Father, I want to go to Huzhou to see the local epidemic situation."

Emperor Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Why didn't you just say it in the court?"

Gu Chen said: "Father, the famine in Huzhou did not just happen in one day or two. It was the local officials in Huzhou who kept concealing it and failed to report it, which led to the current situation. The reason why I did not make it clear in the court today was because I went to Huzhou secretly. , to understand the real situation on the ground.”

Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but fall into thought.

He understood the meaning of Lao Jiu's words. The other party suspected that someone was protecting the local officials in Huzhou, so he dared to hide it and not report it. He had to report the information back to the court until he could no longer keep it secret.

Seeing that Emperor Wu didn't speak, Gu Chen continued: "Furthermore, I have a batch of grain in my hands. If it can be transported to Huzhou, it should be able to solve the local famine problem."

Emperor Wu was shocked by Gu Chen's words again and couldn't help but ask: "Lao Jiu, the disaster in Huzhou is more serious this time. Are you sure you have enough food?"

Gu Chen smiled and said: "Father, have you ever heard of the concubine from the Duke's mansion who made a fortune?"

Emperor Wu frowned and his eyes were very puzzled, "The daughter of the Duke's palace is not my daughter-in-law, so where is another concubine?"

Gu Chen said: "Well, Yan'er is the daughter of the Duke of Guo, but she also has a concubine sister who is now running a business in Kyoto City. At first, I considered that Mobei might cause trouble, so I asked her to do a small favor. So in the past few months, she has been traveling around and helped me hoard a lot of food."

"Now that she heard that a famine broke out in Huzhou, she was very willing to use all the food she had hoarded for disaster relief in Huzhou."

Emperor Wu suddenly brightened up and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't even know there was such a beautiful woman in the Duke's Mansion!"

If the food hoarded by the other party can really solve the famine in Huzhou, it will really be a big help to Da Zhou.

Immediately, Emperor Wu said again: "Old Jiu, where is this daughter of the Duke's palace now? Can you bring it to me to see?"

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I will bring her over to meet my father in the afternoon. But my father, can you let me go secretly about the Huzhou matter? If anything happens, I can inform my father in time."

Hearing Gu Chen mention the Huzhou incident again, Emperor Wu's expression immediately became serious again, and he whispered: "What you said is not unreasonable. I have been slacking off in recent years, but I am not stupid. There are indeed things going on in the court." He has killed a lot of corrupt officials. If you really want to go to Huzhou, I will give you a golden order, and you can kill them first and tell them later!"

"Thank you, Father."

....

After returning from the palace, Gu Chen turned around and went to Tianyiguo, where he saw two little maids clearing the books at the counter.

One is spring and summer, the other is light rain.

"Aunt, uncle, why are you here?!"

Chunxia was the first to see Gu Chen at the door. His eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately ran to the door to greet him.

Xiaoyu from behind immediately ran out and bowed, "Slave, I have seen the prince."

Gu Chen glanced at Chun Xia, "The princess is here too?"

Chunxia nodded quickly, "Yeah, Miss is upstairs now."

"OK."

After saying that, Gu Chen didn't say anything more, turned around and went into the store and went upstairs.

at the same time.

In the private room on the third floor, Gu Zijin sat quietly on the bed, his face red and his eyes full of embarrassment.

Jiang Heyan and Jiang Anran stood beside her, one on the left and one on the right.

After a brief silence, Gu Zijin looked at Jiang Anran with some fear, and asked in a low voice: "Jiang, sister Jiang, do you have to take off your clothes? I... I'm a little scared..."

Jiang Anran quickly patted her shoulder and comforted her softly: "Your Highness, I know you are shy, but if you don't take off your clothes, I won't be able to see the acupuncture points where the needles are used, and it will be easy to make mistakes. "

Seeing this scene, Jiang Heyan immediately stepped forward to persuade, "Zijin, there are only three of us girls in this room, and everything else is the same. Don't worry, and don't be shy."

"Really?"

Gu Zijin looked at Jiang Heyan with his innocent little eyes.

Jiang Heyan nodded seriously, "Well, Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors never tells lies."

"Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors, I believe in you."

Gu Zijin pursed her lips stubbornly, then gently untied her belt and took off all her outer clothes. Just when she was about to untie her underwear...

Ta-ta-ta! !

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

ah!

Gu Zijin was shocked and immediately picked up the coat he put on and covered himself, not wanting to be taken advantage of by others.

After finally persuading Her Royal Highness to relax, Jiang Anran was suddenly disturbed. Jiang Anran's temper suddenly rose and he yelled at the door: "Who is it!"

The next second, Gu Chen opened the door and entered the room.

Seeing Gu Chen enter the door, Jiang Anran was stunned for a moment. His angry expression immediately softened, and he asked with a smile: "Prince Gu, why are you here free?!"

But his angry expression just now was caught by Gu Chen, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This woman is so angry!

Of course, he didn't pursue these details too much. He looked up at the two of them, then at the disheveled Sixteenth Sister on the bed, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What were you doing just now!"

Jiang Heyan immediately walked to Gu Chen and explained with a smile: "An Ran was just about to give Zijin an acupuncture, but Your Highness knocked on the door, and then it became like this."
