The scheming empress starts by conquering men

"Compared to her, you are no match for her except for having your brother and master as your backers."

How could he go back to the capital to deal with her? She was not Shaoding Haolan, the apple of the empress's eye, but just an insignificant Shaoding Chun'e.

Shaodian Sishui didn't pay attention to the words he paused to say, or what was going on between her and the empress, but instead focused all her thoughts on his admonitions.

His face suddenly changed, turning green and red: "Brother! How can this be possible? Don't hit people in the face, don't expose people's shortcomings, I have tried my best!"

She has been trying to win people's hearts since she came here. Even Zhong Aoyi and Shao Chaogan are her people. She is already speeding up her pace.

But she would not tell this to her senior brother, so that he would be surprised and look at her differently in the future.

Xuanyuan Qiongchan hummed lightly, without commenting. "You bought people's hearts and let Zhong Shao become your disciples, but they are outsiders after all. You need to have your own power to be invincible."

Shaodian Sishui: "..."

She forgot that her senior brother was good at fortune-telling.

"Haven't you learned the lesson just now?"

He was talking about the assassination of her by a Confucian scholar.

Shaodian Sishui: "..."

Got it, got it, she got it!

Stop talking, doesn't she have any dignity?

Seeing her silence, Xuanyuan Qiongchan continued, "You can't compete with Shaodian Haolan, who has the empress as his backer, and you can't fight Shaodian Chun'e, who has so much power and financial resources."

He paused and stared at her, his eyes full of helplessness.

"When you return to the capital, all your secret agents will be gone, and I will not be in the capital, let alone protect you. You will be isolated and helpless, and what can you use to fight for that position?"

Xuanyuan Qiongchan usually speaks very little, and hardly ever speaks unless necessary. Even when he speaks, it is only a few words at a time.

But the person next to him was her, so he naturally talked more and was really worried about her.

If her fate had not changed and the purple aura had not descended from the sky, he would definitely not have told her so much.

Shaodian Sishui sighed inwardly, hugged his arm affectionately and acted coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, Senior Brother, I get it, I get it, please stop talking about me."

"When I return to Beijing, I will inform my grandmother to set up a death row camp and make a profit. Is that okay?"

Besides, senior brother doesn’t know about the fine salt yet. If he knew, he would definitely be shocked.

Xuanyuan Qiongchan looked at her lovingly, smiled, sighed, shook his head, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"It will be too late when you return to the capital. That position is imminent. The empress's health is getting worse day by day. You are still young and in urgent need of manpower, material resources and financial resources."

A gleam of light flashed in Shaodian Sishui's eyes, and she thought to herself, Xuanyuan Qiongchan said so much, could it be that he secretly left some power for her?

The book doesn't have so many follow-ups, right?

She said, “So what do you say?”

"The matter of the death row camp is easy to talk about. A year ago, I went to Liyang in the name of looking for medicine. I met your grandmother and used your name to let your grandmother secretly set up a death row camp. It was very profitable."

"As for your secret purchase of Lingyu, I have secretly found someone to help you erase all traces. The Empress doesn't even know about it."

"As for the dark forces..." Xuanyuan Qiongchan paused for a moment, "You still need to choose it yourself, whether it's in Sucheng or Liyang, it depends on your preference."

Ah~~Oh~~

Shaodian Sishui gasped and opened his mouth so wide that a duck egg could fit in it.

He really did secretly leave her financial and human resources. This senior brother is so awesome.

The plot change is so huge, so exciting!

"Brother, why did you just tell me this?"

Xuanyuan Qiongchan smiled dotingly, patted her head gently, and looked at the purple air above her head that was growing thicker and thicker.

"Because you need these more now. I was afraid that if I told you before, you would be angry with me."

He had wanted to tell her a long time ago, but at that time she was still hoping for a mother-daughter relationship.

But she didn't know that what she longed for would never come true, because...

"Ahhhh! Brother, I love you so much. It's so good to have you!"

Shaodian Sishui was so excited that she hugged his arm tightly.

What kind of divine senior brother is this? Please give her a dozen!

She can own the world without doing anything!

Xuanyuan Qiongchan's body stiffened slightly because of her action, and his throat churned. He looked at her with her head resting on his arm, looking excited and happy.

She said she loved him so much and it was great to have him?

An impulse flashed in his eyes, and his hanging hands clenched instantly. He wanted to tell her right now that he also liked her. Since the first time he saw her in childhood, she was the only one in his heart and he couldn't let go of anyone else.

But when she thought of so many men around her, Xuanyuan Qiongchan calmed herself down and composed herself.

Xuanyuan Qiongchan, maybe she just said it casually, you can't think too much about it, don't show your feelings, and don't scare her.

But no matter how calm he was, his heart was excited and his heart was pounding.

He didn't dare look at her again, for he was afraid he couldn't help himself.

He pulled his arm out of her hand stiffly, his voice low and hoarse, lingering and bewitching.

"Okay, don't think too much, I'm here for everything."

The road was paved for her, and everything behind was left to him. She only needed to return to Beijing and kill everyone to grab the position that should belong to her.

He turned and walked underground.

Shaodian Sishui seemed not to notice his strange behavior. She smiled, nodded, and followed him.

"Well, with my brother here, I can rest assured."

The underground arena is very large, with a ring and two cages.

As she followed Xuanyuan Qiongchan in, the foul smell of rot, animal feces, urine and blood hit her in the face.

She was so choked up that she nearly fell over.

"Kill! Kill! Go, go, go, go!"

"You bastard! What are you waiting for? Go ahead! I've staked all my money on you. If you don't go ahead, I'll kill you!"

"Go ahead! Why are you retreating? If you dare to take another step back, I will release a large insect to bite you to death, believe it or not!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be scared if he retreats. There are gravels on the ground. Pick them up and chase him and hit him!"

"Smash her to death! Smash her hard, smash her to death! If you smash her to death, you will win, and you will have a chance to survive, go ahead!"

Shaodian Sishui stood at the top, and the mixed stench kept rising up, making it unbearable.

Although the taste is not good, the view is good.

It's just right to have a clear view of everything in the entire arena.

And now, we are encountering a bloody battle.

Inside the cage were two women, ragged, unrecognizable and covered in blood.

One of them was crawling backwards on the ground, with no healthy spot on his body, and was covered with wounds and blood.

The other one staggered with a hunched back, picked up the gravel on the ground and walked towards the person crawling on the ground.

To end the life of anyone who competed with her for the chance to become a slave.

As long as she died, she could live, escape the fate of being a death row prisoner, and live as a slave.

As long as she becomes a slave, she will have the chance to be chosen by a noble to go to the battlefield.

Although you still have to fight on the battlefield, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious service.

If you have the opportunity to make merit, you will have the opportunity to become a civilian.

If she becomes a commoner, she can marry a husband and have daughters and children.

She waited for that day for a long, long time.

"Don't waste time! Kill her! Kill her and you will live!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

"what!"

Hearing the word "can survive", the woman roared, tightly grasped the sharp gravel in her hands, and rushed towards the woman who was crawling on the ground and running away.

He grabbed her body with one hand and smashed her head with gravel with the other.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

With each hit, the woman roared with all her might, as if to cheer herself to survive.

Boom, boom, boom. There was a dull sound of gravel hitting the head, and the sound of blood spilling out.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and the people in the audience were so excited that their eyes turned red and they shouted excitedly.

"it is good!"

"Good smash! Smash it harder!"

In a moment, an inspiring voice sounded nearby.

"Congratulations to Death Row Inmate No. 18 for winning!"

As the woman was crushed to death, the judge announced the news, and the survivors suddenly became limp and lay powerless on the ground in a spread-eagle position.

With a glimmer of hope in his numb eyes, he stared at the cage above his head.

Good news, she survived.

Bad news, you were not favored by the noble person.

The judge did not announce that she had been chosen by a nobleman, nor did he announce that she was about to be bought.

She didn't know how many more battles she would have to fight before she could meet a noble man who would buy her and make her a slave, giving her a glimmer of hope.

There were sudden roars of excitement and anger on the field.

"Ahhhhhh! I win, I win!"

"I knew number 18 would work, hahahahaha... I bet three seashells on her! I win, I'm going to make a fortune!"

"Damn it! Why doesn't this damn No. 18 just die? It's so damn bad!"

"That damn No. 32, why didn't she die earlier? I'm wasting my time cheering for you! And I don't even make a penny."

Xuanyuan Qiongchan looked at the death row inmate number 18 and commented expressionlessly.

"This is good. She can be trained to be a Deadpool. Plus, she has won fifteen games in a row this time."

He was telling her that this person could be bought and trained to be his own.

Shaodian Sishui nodded; "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Just as she was about to reach out and shout to buy, she heard a voice from the side.

"I bought this death row prisoner!"

She and Xuanyuan Qiongchan turned their heads to look.

Then, not far away, a woman wearing a gorgeous black dress and a tiger mask raised her hand and shouted, "Buy."

When the woman in black said she wanted to buy someone, she tilted her head to look at Shaodian Si Shui, and ran her thumb across her neck, making a provocative gesture towards her.

Then she threw a coquettish glance at Xuanyuan Qiongchan and blew her a kiss.

Apparently the conversation between the two about buying the death row prisoner was heard by the woman.

A stern look flashed across Xuanyuan Qiongchan's eyes. He turned and stared at Shaodian Sishui. Seeing that her eyes were full of frost, the stern look in his eyes suddenly warmed up and he laughed softly.

"Snatch it or not?"

If she wants to snatch it, she will have to go to the ring herself. Although he is reluctant, he should let her make her own decision, and he only needs to support her silently.

Shaodian Sishui let out a long sigh; "I didn't want to snatch it, but she provoked me."

He even dared to seduce Xuanyuan Qiongchan in front of her. This was really unbearable.

Who dares to snatch the man she likes?

It would be fine if it was any other man, but Xuanyuan Qiongchan’s strength is there.

Could she be provoked like this and allow her to seduce Xuanyuan Qiongchan and remain indifferent like a coward?

What's more, her temper towards outsiders is not one that can be tolerated.

The change is too big, what if Xuanyuan Qiongchan finds out the trick?

She raised her hands and looked down.

"I want this death row prisoner."
