“You will know when you see the reactions of the princes after the imperial edict is issued tomorrow.
“In short, the First Prince and the Yang Family will definitely not watch the Gu family rise again. They will even use us to attack the Third Prince.
“As for the Fourth Prince, I’m not sure at the moment. They might try to rope him in, or they might directly become enemies.”
“The son of Princess Ping Yang, the concubine of the Third Prince.” Zhou Ying could not help but mutter after hearing that.
Could it be that the Emperor wanted to place them on a pedestal and drop them to their deaths?
She knew she had to pay more attention to the reactions of all parties from now on. If necessary, she did not mind striking first.
Thinking of this, she immediately remembered Zhou Jiaqing’s plan. Zhou Ying quickly told Gu Chengrui and asked, “By the way, do you think there’s a way to successfully bring my original self’s adoptive mother and her family out successfully?
“Otherwise, Zhou Jiaqing would definitely vent her anger on them after getting snubbed by me.”
“With your relationship, there is only one way, and that is to threaten them.
“Otherwise, the Zhou family will definitely not let them go. Moreover, we have to be confident in our threats. Otherwise, we might be countered.”
“Threatening them?” Zhou Ying carefully reviewed her original self’s memories. Besides Zhou Jiaqing’s facade, she knew nothing else could be levied.
However, Zhou Jiaqing’s status in the family was not very high. This was probably not enough to threaten Madam Zhou.
Gu Chengrui saw her frown and knew she had nothing to work on.
Afterwards, he got up and went to his laboratory to work on something. When he came out, he handed her a paper bag and said, “If you can’t think of a solution for now, apply this medicine to Zhou Jiaqing’s skin.
“This would cause a person to develop a slight rash all over their body. It will look like a typical rash and recover in seven or eight days without any antidote.
“I’m sure she won’t be able to care about your adoptive mother’s family for some time after that.
“We can use these few days to think of something.”
“Although it was a little underhand, it’s perfect for dealing with Zhou Jiaqing.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and applied the medicine to Zhou Jiaqing’s face and hands through the Mother Goddess Temple.
After confirming that the medicine was all absorbed by Zhou Jiaqing, only Zhou Ying put away the remaining medicine powder.
Just as she was about to leave the Zhou family, she suddenly saw the eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Likun, sneaking out of the door and entering a brothel.
He called out to a girl named Qing’er, and after entering the house, he immediately hugged her and started kissing her.
Qing’er pushed him away. “Look at how anxious you are. Why? Can’t your wife satisfy you?”
“She’s not as good at serving me as you are. Let’s not talk about her. Just serve me well tonight.” After Zhou Likun finished speaking, he carried Qing’er onto the bed.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she retreated in disgust. She wanted to give Zhou Likun’s wife a dream about this, but when she saw her bulging belly, she didn’t do anything.
Gu Chengrui saw her beaming with joy when she came back and asked, “Why? Did you find anything new?”
“Yes, yes.” Zhou Ying nodded repeatedly.
Then, she told him about Zhou Likun. “Isn’t there a rule in the country that officials are not allowed to enter and exit a brothel?”
“Yes, is Zhou Likun an official?”
“He should be. When he was 17 years old, he entered the Imperial Academy of Medicine and became the deputy to Principal Zhou.
“After seven or eight years, he must have become a royal doctor somehow.
“Even if he isn’t one, his future is over now that we know of this scandal.”
“Alright, let’s be polite and send over a letter for now.”
“Sure, hurry up and wash up; let’s go to bed.” Zhou Ying then turned around and went into the bathroom.
Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying were about to have breakfast the following day when the Third Prince walked in..
