Chapter 270 Whoever messes with you will die
Guo Lu opened her mouth and said, "No, Dr. Jin, if the clothing store isn't doing well or can't release new styles for a long time... you'll starve to death."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Anyway...anyway, after the curse and death calamity on me are gone, I will work hard to make money. My future ambition is to become a wealthy businessman! I want to be a wealthy businessman!"
Guo Lu: …
"My grandmother's family is one of the richest in Beining. My grandmother said that their wealth was accumulated over several generations. And intelligence is also very important. It's not that easy..."
Bu Ruo also looked at Jin Congcong: "You should first understand how to sweep the floor. This is the area you are good at at the moment."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Hmph, it's just a matter of sweeping. What's the big deal? I can earn money cleaning the carriage anyway, more than I make from refining pills."
Xiao Jin sighed silently: "It takes more than a dozen medicinal herbs to make a pill... It's true that cleaning carriages is more profitable."
But not long after, Jin Congcong ran back with a rag in his hand.
"Ruoer Ruoer, guess who I saw outside?"
"It's a trivial matter, it's actually a trivial matter! The officials from the Great Zhou Dynasty, along with the envoy and the trivial matter, were staying at our inn. I asked a few questions, and they said that for some reason the inn collapsed just as they were about to move in, nearly hitting someone. They're currently repairing it."
Bu Ruo glanced outside vaguely and said, "The posthouse collapsed! What a coincidence! It just happened that she came and the posthouse collapsed."
Jin Congcong didn't understand: "Weren't those people still in Kyoto when we left? Why did we run into them here?"
Bu Ruo replied, "We were walking slowly all the way here, and it's normal for them to catch up with us as we were stopping and starting all the time."
"Ruo'er... I always feel that some things are too coincidental. Why don't we leave and go to Jiangnan? I always feel that that idle thing is a bit weird. Wouldn't it be better if we avoid her?"
Bu Ruo's eyes were slightly cold: "No, I don't like to hide when encountering trouble. I like to face the enemy head-on and see who will die in the end."
Jin Congcong said hesitantly: "With your temper, who else can die? Whoever provokes you will die."
"Oh right, just as the prince and Cen Nan were about to leave, they ran into Xianshi and his gang. When I came back, the prince was talking to the officers escorting them. I... oh, I'm worried. I'd better go out and help you keep an eye on them. What if Xianshi attacks the prince?"
"You and the prince have a child this old now. If the prince were to... with your personality, we'd have to divorce. No, no, that would be too pitiful for the two children. I'll go and help look after them. I'm going right away."
Guo Lu looked at Jin Congcong's back as he trotted out and said worriedly, "Princess...with my Third Sister's ability, are you really not going to go see the Prince? If Master Jin goes alone...I'm afraid he won't be of any use."
Bu Ruo waved her hand: "No need, with her little ability, she can't seduce the prince. If she really makes a move on the prince...it only means that she has had enough of life."
After a long time, Jin Congcong did not come back, but Bu Bu was brought back by Bier, and she looked very happy.
"Mom, that nosy person is so annoying. Why do I run into her everywhere? Just now, Aunt Bier took me to buy candied haws, and she was sitting in the hall outside and gave me a cold look."
Bi'er raised her hand and scratched the little snitch's nose: "Well, today I let you vent your anger. You made that idler fall off the chair and didn't get up for a long time. It sounded like the sound was cut off somewhere."
Xiao Jin remained calm as Phantom led him, "Her wrist is broken. I originally wanted her to go blind from the fall, but it would be too obvious if she went blind while sitting. The man who came to pick them up looked no ordinary person. Dad said not to show off your abilities too early in front of outsiders; you should keep others guessing."
Bu Ruo looked at Bi'er: "Someone came here to pick them up? Shouldn't they be at the border?"
Bi'er frowned: "I don't know either. I only heard that man say that he was here to protect their princess."
Guo Lu wasn't surprised to hear Bi'er's words. "It must be the Third Princess's mother, Concubine Rou, who did this. Concubine Rou doted on the Third Princess...she even gave up the potential prince she was carrying."
That’s right, Guo Shuangwen was beaten with a stick and thrown into the water by the Queen and almost died. It was Concubine Rou who saved her life with the life of her unborn child.
Bu Ruo glanced at her and said, "Rou Fei and that busybody's father are truly in love. Even though that man may not be from this dimension and is only using her, this does not prevent Rou Fei from being completely devoted to him."
"Besides, the child that Concubine Rou was carrying at the time belonged to the Emperor. How could she possibly give birth to that child given her infatuation with that man? Even if Guo Shuangwen hadn't been beaten and thrown into the water, the child couldn't have been kept. Who knows, it might have ended up in the hands of some unlucky concubine."
"Hmm...but it's probably the Queen."
Guo Lu nodded. "Your Highness is right. Although my mother is a noble concubine, she and the Queen have always kept their distance from each other. They even have a certain sympathy for each other. When my mother was seriously ill, the Queen even visited her late at night. I don't know what they talked about."
"Besides, I was able to escape from the palace so easily with the help of my wet nurse. It must have been the Queen's hand in this as well. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for me to have been out for so long without anyone looking for me. If my guess is correct... there's no longer a Seventh Princess like me in the Beining Palace. I just don't know how I, a princess, died."
"My mother told me that the Empress and Concubine Rou didn't have any major conflicts at the beginning, and the Empress didn't specifically target her. It wasn't until the Empress's eldest princess died that the Empress looked at Concubine Rou with a strange look. Although I don't know what happened in between, the death of the eldest princess is most likely related to Concubine Rou. The Empress also noticed it, otherwise she wouldn't target Concubine Rou so much."
"It's just that...with Concubine Rou's abilities, why can't she just attack the Queen directly? If so, wouldn't it be easy for her to become Queen? After all, with my mother gone, she is the most favored and the best candidate to succeed her."
Bu Ruo took out a fruit and started to eat it. "Because the Queen is destined to be a phoenix, you don't think that anyone can sit on the throne of Queen, do you? Having scheming and skill is important... but even more important is having that destiny."
"I've seen a bit of Concubine Rou from Guo Shuangwen. She's not destined to be a phoenix, so the best she can achieve is a concubine. She can't even get the position of a noble concubine. Besides, the people behind her are eyeing the throne of your Beining. If I'm not mistaken, even if your third sister takes that position, she'll just be a puppet."
Guo Shuangwen thought back to what Bu Ruo had just said...
"Princess, you just said that the person who had an affair with Concubine Rou was not from this plane... What did you mean?"
