Rebirth: So what if my husband is a little crazy? He loves me.

Chapter 407 Gu Chang'an's Handling?

At the same time, the secret guards of Prince Yi's mansion also delivered the same message.

"Your Highness, we haven't found the murderer, but we have found that the poison is not commonly used."

The King of Chess had a gloomy face.

Master Gao waved his hand, signaling the guards to leave.

"Who exactly is it? Now all the civil and military officials believe that I did it. There are no generals among the military who are not my people, and now they are even targeting me!" King Yi's voice was even more somber than his expression.

No one was more frustrated than him. He knew perfectly well that even if he wanted to deal with the Xiao family, now was not the time. Moreover, the military generals were not involved in politics yet, so there was no harm in keeping them around. Why would he be in such a hurry to use such a low-level trick?

But even his own people didn't believe him when he said this, because no one thought it was a ruse, and the Xiao family had no reason to do such a thing.

There was no third force in the imperial court.

“This person’s methods are truly brilliant. Without even showing his face, he can sow discord between you and the military officers. If the military officers enter the Ministry of War in the future, we may not even be able to protect our last trump card.” Master Gao was also very puzzled.

"Could it be Gu Chang'an?" Yi Wang thought of a possibility: "Did he do it behind Shen Li's back?"

Although this plan is risky, it is not complicated and can suppress oneself as much as possible.

The person who gets things done has both courage and ability; he couldn't think of anyone else besides Gu Chang'an.

What made him most suspicious was that Xiao Qi had been saved. If he had died, he would be sure it was done by someone else, but as long as he was alive, it was very likely a ruse.

However, he guessed that Shen Li was probably unaware of this.

Upon hearing this, Master Gao's previously troubled expression immediately brightened. He said, "Your Highness, the truth isn't that important. Since you have this suspicion, do you think Lord Shen might also have it?"

The King of Chess also seemed to realize something: "You mean?"

"Just as Your Highness thought, the more intelligent and shrewd a person is, the more meticulous and different they are from ordinary people. They can't help but think of all the possibilities and find the most suspicious point among them."

The King of Chess laughed, a sinister laugh. Yes, the truth is no longer so important.

“Alright, but we can’t say this ourselves; we have to ask someone else to say it.” King Yi was also very meticulous.

"Your Highness, rest assured."

"Also, has everything been handled properly regarding this imperial examination? Have all the leads been dealt with?"

"Everything is ready. Your Highness, just wait for the results to be announced."

The King of Chess's smile deepened and became even more sinister. He wanted to see if the trust between lovers was truly unbreakable.

After the imperial examination, Shen Li relaxed, since she no longer had to grade papers. Every day, after reporting to the Ministry of Rites, she would wait to have lunch with Gu Chang'an at noon, and then go home together in the evening.

All the men in the Six Ministries envied Gu Chang'an. In all these years, they had never seen anyone bring his wife to work, especially such a beautiful wife.

But Shen Li felt she wasn't virtuous enough. She herself didn't have much to do, but Gu Chang'an was very busy. If she could understand the Ministry of Revenue's accounts, she could share his burden.

Of course, you have to help secretly, otherwise you'll get into trouble if people find out.

Besides her duty at the Ministry of Rites, she also had to go to the palace to teach Li Che how to paint. This day was no different, but as soon as she entered the palace, she heard some discordant voices.

"How old are you to be entangled with men? It's utterly shameful."

"That's right. I even heard from the servants of the Duke's mansion that the two of them do all sorts of things behind the scenes."

"What did you do?"

"Don't play dumb, it's just about men and women."

"A legitimate daughter of a noble family, yet her behavior is no different from that of a courtesan."

Shen Li didn't pay much attention at first and just listened casually, but when she heard the name of a noble family's daughter, she slowed down.

There aren't many aristocratic families, and the most likely one to overlap with the Duke's Mansion is the Shen family.

Are these people spreading rumors about me? But I didn't see anyone at the Duke's mansion.

The conversation continued on the other side of the wall.
