When Yang Fan heard that Du Wentian was the lecher who was beaten up by Zhang Changzong at Xingjiao Temple, he immediately figured out some of the problems that he had been hesitating about.
Gu Zhuting also came to a realization and said excitedly, "I understand now! Du Wentian teased Xiao Miao and was taught a lesson by Zhang Fengchen. He bore a grudge and after knowing Zhang Fengchen's identity, he guessed Sister Wan 'er's identity, so he wants to take revenge on Zhang Fengchen! "
Yang Fan nodded and said, "Yes, that should be the case. I thought this was a conspiracy between the Wu and Du families against Second Zhang. I didn't expect it to be a personal grudge between Du Wentian and Zhang Changzong. "
Gu Zhuting relaxed her brows and said, "Since the reason is so simple, then it's easy to handle. Can you leave this matter to me?"
Yang Fan glanced at her and said, "What do you plan to do?"
Gu Zhuting said, "This matter was caused by Du Wentian. As long as we can make this trouble 'shut up', the storm will naturally subside."
Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I knew it, your idea is to kill. Du Wentian's identity is not simple, who knows how many subordinates he has told about this matter. If he suddenly dies, do you think the Du family will let it go easily? Will the Du family not investigate the cause? Moreover … "
Yang Fan's gaze deepened, "I have never understood why Princess An Le, who has never interacted with Wan 'er, suddenly came to visit. In terms of friendship, the two of them are not even close. If she wanted to curry favor, An Le is the princess of the Li family and the daughter-in-law of the Wu family. There is no need for her to curry favor with Wan' er. Why do you think she did this?"
Gu Zhuting's eyes flickered and she said in a low voice, "Ah Lang is saying that Princess An Le is also involved in this matter?"
Yang Fan nodded lightly and said in a low voice, "Very likely!"
Gu Zhuting's expression changed. If Princess An Le was involved in this matter, then it wouldn't be easy to handle. Gu Zhuting thought for a while and said doubtfully, "But why did Princess An Le participate in this matter? Why did she hurt Sister Wan 'er and Zhang Changzong? She should hate Ah Lang. She doesn't know the relationship between Ah Lang and Sister Wan 'er … "
Yang Fan said, "Don't forget, her brother Li Zhongrun and sister Princess Yongtai died because of Zhang Changzong."
"Ah!" Gu Zhuting exclaimed, "She wants to use this matter to avenge her brother and sister."
Yang Fan said, "That can only be the reason. Otherwise, why would she participate in it? She had no enmity with Wan'er. Now that she was conspiring with Du Wentian, it could only be because they had a common enemy. I've always thought that this Li Guo 'er has no redeeming qualities, I didn't expect that for the sake of her brother and sister's blood feud, she didn't hesitate to attack Zhang Er. "
When Yang Fan said these words, his tone inevitably had a hint of admiration. Er Zhang was the empress's most beloved gigolo. After the death of Li Zhongrun and Wu Yanji, although the Wu and Li families hated Er Zhang to the core, they were afraid of the empress. Other than mobilizing the imperial censors to send a few impeachment memorials, they did not do anything else. They were really lacking in courage. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was this despised Li Guo 'er who schemed and schemed to avenge her brother and sister.
Yang Fan also had a blood feud and naturally admired Princess An Le's actions. However, An Le's tools of revenge were Wan'er and the child in her womb. They were all his closest relatives. Naturally, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing just because he admired An Le's actions.
Yang Fan paced slowly and muttered to himself for a long time. Suddenly, he asked Gu Zhuting, "When did Mr. Mu say Wan'er will give birth?"
Yang Fan's change of topic was too fast. Gu Zhuting was stunned at first and then replied, "Mr. Mu said that Sister Wan'er will give birth in about ten days."
Mr. Mu's name was Mu Hui. He was a famous doctor in Chang 'an. However, what was not known was that he was also a member of the Successor Hall. The talents recruited by the Succession Hall included people from all walks of life, and this Mu Hui was one of them. However, Mu Hui himself did not know that he belonged to the Successor Hall. He only knew that he belonged to a powerful force.
In the Successor Hall, other than a small number of core people, the rest were mostly in the game and could not see the whole picture. They did not know what organization they were in and naturally had no way of talking about the purpose of the organization's existence.
As for the various professions, the Successor Hall was even more mysterious. This was because it used its position and ability as the upper echelon to indirectly control and influence the various professions. Those professions did not even feel that there was a huge force in the world influencing and controlling everything.
When some professions made a certain choice based on the current situation and court politics, they thought that it was a decision they had made on their own initiative. However, they did not know that the basis that influenced their decision was created or provided to them by the Successor Hall. The Successor Hall used this method to ensure their mysteriousness.
In this era, giving birth was undoubtedly a matter of life and death for a woman. Yang Fan did not dare to be careless. Because Wan'er's identity could not be revealed to the public, he used the famous doctor from the Successor Hall. Even so, every time he invited him to take Wan'er's pulse, he would be blindfolded. Even when taking the pulse, he could not see the patient. As for the midwife waiting to give birth, there was no need to go outside to invite someone. Gu Zhuting could do it. In the beginning, when she was carrying out a mission, she pretended to be a midwife's apprentice for a long time. She learned the skill of midwifery during that time.
After listening to Gu Zhuting's words, Yang Fan muttered to himself: "Ten days, ten days …"
Yang Fan suddenly felt a little upset. Could it be that something unexpected would happen in these ten days?
Yang Fan sat down and thought for a long time without saying anything. Seeing this, Gu Zhuting motioned for everyone to leave. She fetched a cup of water and gently brought it to Yang Fan. Yang Fan did not take the cup of water. Instead, he gently took her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Gu Zhuting twisted her body in embarrassment and said: "Ah Lang, outside the hall … there is someone."
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment before he burst into laughter. He gently slapped Gu Zhuting's plump buttocks and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? I have something to ask you."
Gu Zhuting thought that Ah Lang was distracted and had come up with an absurd idea. She could not help but feel a little embarrassed, but it turned out that she was wrong and became even more embarrassed. Yang Fan pretended not to see her embarrassment and seriously asked: "Little Ting, if I ask you to disguise yourself as Wan 'er, can you do it?"
Gu Zhuting slightly restrained her embarrassment and slightly frowned. She shook her head and said: "Ah Lang, how can there be such a miraculous disguise technique in this world? It's not a disguise technique but magic. I can disguise myself as someone else, but I can't completely impersonate someone else. "
Yang Fan originally only had a glimmer of hope, but after hearing her words, he could not help but sigh softly.
When he secretly received the Prince of Luling back to the capital in Fangzhou, Gu Zhuting and the Prince of Luling disguised themselves not only to deceive the pursuers but also to deceive their own people. But at that time, both the real and fake Prince of Luling had disguised themselves as a middle-aged man who looked sixty to seventy percent similar to the Prince of Luling's real appearance.
At that time, the reason for doing so was very reasonable. They were hiding from the pursuers, so of course the Prince of Luling had to disguise himself. In the beginning, he was able to hide from Princess Taiping in the Dragon Gate because Princess Taiping and her brother had not seen each other for 16 years. The tough imprisonment had turned the high-spirited young emperor into an old and haggard middle-aged man.
As for the time when Gu Zhuting pretended to be Yang Fan, it was only somewhat similar. When they walked on the long street, they were surrounded by his bodyguards. Bystanders could only watch from a distance. And at that time, there were no acquaintances in front of them, so the people who saw him had a preconceived impression. Later, when they visited him, they saw that he was indeed wounded by an arrow, so naturally they would not suspect anything.
But now, Wu Chongxun and his wife had seen Shanghai Wan'er a few months ago. Although Gu Zhuting's disguise technique was miraculous, she could not completely disguise herself as someone they knew. Moreover, Wan'er was elegant and noble, with a scholarly charm, so it was very difficult to imitate her. Since this method was not feasible, Yang Fan could only dispel this whimsical idea and think of another way.
…
There were a few wild flowers that could be seen everywhere on the island, a crystal clear jade bottle with a thin neck, and a small pair of scissors. After Wan'er trimmed the branches and inserted the cut wild flowers into the jade bottle, the pink or blue flowers, coupled with a few fresh green branches and leaves, became an appropriate scenery.
As Yang Fan watched her arrange the flowers, he told her what he knew about the situation.
Wan'er looked at the flowers in the bottle, put down the scissors, and turned to Yang Fan, saying, "An Le has no reason to visit. The reason why I am vigilant is because of this. Now listening to what you said, I am afraid that she is indeed related to this matter. She came to visit me, presumably to verify whether what Du Wentian said is true. "
Yang Fan nodded and said, "I think so too. Although An Le's visit is inexplicable, since she is here, you have no reason not to see her. You did not see her, so she naturally believed Du Wentian's words. "
Wan'er said, "So, she began to act. Spreading rumors must be the first step of her plan. "
Yang Fan said, "That's right! Her target should be Zhang Changzong, but she does not know that the Emperor already knows that you are pregnant. She thinks that exposing this matter will make the Empress angry and embarrassed, and then she will execute Zhang Changzong like she executed Xue Huaiyi. She does not know that Zhang Changzong will definitely be safe and sound, and only you will be implicated. "
Wan'er raised her pretty eyebrows and said with confusion, "But what can she do? As long as I do not see her, what can she do to me?"
Yang Fan said, "This is exactly what I can't figure out no matter how much I think about it. However, this matter concerns your life and the child's life, no matter what, I cannot be careless. I must be cautious. "
Wan'er smiled slightly. There was some helplessness in her smile, but more of it was dependence and sweetness for Yang Fan. She gently snuggled into Yang Fan's arms and said softly, "I originally thought that this matter could be resolved without bothering Langjun. Who knew that when I came to Chang 'an, I would encounter such a matter. In the end, Langjun still has to worry."
Yang Fan rebuked, "What are you saying? You are my woman. Of course, the matter between you and the child should be handled by me."
Wan'er nodded meekly and said, "Since I am by your side, I will not care about anything. Everything will be decided by Langjun. Who told you to be my man?"
Yang Fan chuckled and gently pressed his cheek against hers. There was a feeling of peace and sweetness in his heart. After a while, Yang Fan softly broke the warm silence, "I plan to pick a time to visit Wu Chongxun!"
Wan'er revealed a slightly surprised expression and asked, "Is this necessary?"
Yang Fan said, "I have already visited the Prince of Xiang's Five Sons. There is nothing wrong with visiting Wu Chongxun. Haha, however, I will send someone to keep an eye on him. I will pick a time when Wu Chongxun is not at home to visit him! "
Wan'er suddenly said, "Langjun wants to see Princess Anle?"
Yang Fan said, "That's right! I wanted to sound her out. Although she is crafty, she is only clever in small matters. How shrewd could she be? If I go see her, I might be able to grasp some clues. Perhaps I can guess what she wants to do. "
Wan'er's eyes flickered and she said, "If Royal Prince Gaoyang is not at home, how will Princess Anle see you?"
Yang Fan naturally would not confess his ill-fated relationship with Li Guo'er to Wan'er. He only laughed and said, "Mountain people have their own clever plans."
Wan'er did not ask any more questions. She gently nodded and said, "Then Langjun should go and try. If it really doesn't work, don't forget that there is still Zhang Changzong."
Yang Fan understood and said, "I understand. In the jianghu, who can remain aloof? Besides, this matter started because of him. If necessary, I will ask Zhang Fengchen to come out of seclusion and borrow his swift blade! "
