The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Xuanyuan Qiongchan acted quickly. When the Confucian assassin went to kill her, she drew the soft sword from her waist and quickly killed him.

He held the sword in his hand with murderous intent, his eyes were full of bloodthirstiness and coldness as he looked around and shouted in a low voice.

"I am here, who dares to be presumptuous?"

This threat made the assassins around who wanted to assassinate him freeze in place, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Someone in the crowd suddenly started screaming.

"Ah! Killed!"

Everyone on the street began to run around in panic.

There are adults and children.

Some children held their dolls, windmills, and rattles in their hands, and stood there crying and calling for their parents.

"Mother, mother!"

“Wuwuwu…Father, Father!”

They seemed frightened by the scene. Some of them stood there crying, while others rushed towards them.

Shaodian Sishui reacted quickly. When Xuanyuan Qiongchan clamped her waist and was about to turn around, she noticed the strange atmosphere around her.

"It's a Confucian thorn, be careful!"

Alarm bells rang in her heart, reminding Xuanyuan Qiongchan.

Xuanyuan Qiongchan's eyes paused for a moment, and he stared at her with a suspicious look.

How did she know these were Confucian thorns?

He didn't seem to say that these assassins were Confucian assassins. How did she know about that when she just arrived in Guifang?

But in just a moment, Xuanyuan Qiongchan figured it out.

With a gloomy face, he stood forward with the sword in his hand, protecting her, looking around, and snorting coldly.

"Xuanyuan Qiongchan is here. If you dare to take another step closer, this day next year will be your death anniversary."

As he finished his oppressive words, the hidden Ru Ci left unwillingly.

The way they left was naturally that they were hurriedly carried away by the 'grandparents' around them.

When the surrounding streets became deserted, Shaodian Sishui felt bored.

Xuanyuan Qiongchan put away the sword, turned around and gave her a gentle smile of appreciation.

"Your witchcraft skills have improved again. Master will definitely be pleased to know this."

Shaodian Sishui was stunned for a moment, and as her mind turned, she remembered that she had just reminded him in a hurry that these were Confucian thorns.

She raised a bitter smile and looked around at the group of Confucian assassins who were taken away without comment.

It's not because she knows any witchcraft or divination, it's because she is the author.

She walked silently to Ru Ci who had been killed instantly by Xuanyuan Qiongchan, picked up the dagger beside her hand, and murmured in panic.

"Why do they all want to kill me!?"

This "they" naturally includes the third emperor's daughter, Shao Dian Chun'e.

Thinking about how there were so many girls around me just now, and how each of them was about one meter tall and looked to be around seven years old.

They held candied haws, windmills, rattles, shuttlecocks, and everything else in their hands.

I don't know whether they were really Confucianists who were frightened by Xuanyuan Qiongchan just now, or they were really children.

Anyway, those children all had panicked looks on their faces and were standing there crying.

You have no idea whether there are any Confucian scoundrels among them, because they pretend to be very real.

This is how she arranged another force in the book, and also paved the way for the heroine to unify the world.

And this force does not belong to Shaodian Haolan, nor to the empress.

It belongs to the Third Emperor's daughter Shao Dian Chun'e, who is one of the contenders for the throne and also one of the villains in the book.

Shaodian Sishui is the first villain she set, and Shaodian Chun'e is the second villain.

Although both of them are villains, they are also mortal enemies.

However, Shaoding Chun'e's final fate was even worse than hers, and she died before her.

The reason, of course, was that she tried to use the Confucian assassination technique to assassinate the heroine who was coming to get married but failed, and the heroine escaped and the empress found out.

The empress asked the great sorcerer to figure out the mastermind behind the scene. Without Xuanyuan Qiongchan's obstruction in secret, the empress naturally soon learned from the great sorcerer that it was Shaoding Chun'e who did it. Do you think she will live or die?

This force was taken away by the empress in the middle and late stages and given to the heroine.

According to the time calculation, this force currently belongs to Shaodian Chun'e, and the empress is not aware of it yet.

In other words, these most notorious vicious Confucian assassins of the Guifang were sent by Shaoding Chun'e to kill her.

Shaoding Chun'e is really a mad dog. She bites everyone she sees.

At this time, they should follow the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend and join forces to deal with Shaodian and Haolan.

Shaodian Haolan is the number one person! Why would you deal with her?

The reason why these dwarfs are said to be vicious is that when they were seven years old, they were secretly trained to be assassins by Yan Shi using Gu.

The Yan clan was the paternal clan of Shaodian Chun'e and had lived in Guifang for a long time.

The Yan clan secretly captured a large number of young girls and used poison to secretly train them.

They are unable to grow up throughout their lives. Their appearance, height and voice are all like those of children, making it difficult to tell whether they are children or adults.

Moreover, each of them has their own unique assassination methods. The simplest and most effective method is to kill people without any warning while they are walking on the street.

They may even pretend to be pitiful and be adopted by you before killing your entire family.

If the secret guards trained by Zhong Aoyi are sharp swords in the open, then these Confucian thorns are poisonous hidden weapons.

If one person is not investigated, the whole family will go to hell.

These guys who would only appear in the later period of the heroine's ascension to the throne appeared in the early or middle period, and even tried to assassinate her?

She was only concerned with competing with the heroine, but this short-sighted Shao Dian Chun'e had the means to deal with her.

"Don't be sad, she is a Confucian thorn and doesn't deserve you to treat her like this."

Xuanyuan Qiongchan looked at her squatting there silently, looking so desolate and frail, and his heart ached a little.

I thought she was feeling sorry for the dead Confucian scholar, so she spoke out to comfort him.

"Brother, I am no longer the same person I once was."

She turned and stared at Xuanyuan Qiongchan, and saw a hint of surprise in his eyes. Her eyes were full of sadness and frustration, and there was some bloodshot in her eyes, and her eyes were watery.

"I just feel that... we are of the same origin, so why are we so eager to fight each other?"

Xuanyuan Qiongchan frowned slightly, and seeing the sadness in her eyes, his heart ached as well.

His eyes were filled with sorrow and he raised his arms, hesitating whether to hold her in his arms to comfort her like he did when they were children.

Finally, he let it go weakly, his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves, the backs of his bony hands full of blue veins.

Shaodian Si Shui suddenly threw herself into his arms, silently shedding tears.

Xuanyuan Qiongchan's body suddenly froze and his throat rolled.

Hearing her so sad, he reached out his hand and gently stroked her back.

Each time he did it, he did it very gently, without saying a word, just letting her vent.

She has always been strong, intelligent, kind, and meticulous, and she is not afraid of anything.

From childhood to adulthood, this is the first time I have seen her crying so aggrievedly.

Xuanyuan Qiongchan felt mixed emotions and was extremely heartbroken, as if tens of millions of bugs were gnawing at his heart.

"Cry, it's not your fault." He comforted her softly.

Originally, Shaodian Si Shui was either really aggrieved or she did it on purpose, wanting to gradually influence Xuanyuan Qiongchan to accept her.

As a result, after being comforted by him, she, who had not felt aggrieved at first, inexplicably began to feel aggrieved.

When I think about her current situation, I really start to feel aggrieved.

The crying became louder and louder.

"Woooooooo..."
