The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Yue Chemu's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head to drink the medicine without saying a word.

After Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong left, Shaodian Si Shui's gaze fell on Yue Chemu's face again.

No, what do these two people mean?

She rubbed her earlobe with her fingertips, her mind opened up, and suddenly a picture flashed through her mind.

Could it be that Yue Chemu likes her?

Then, what does Master’s look mean?

No, no, she didn’t think that Yue Chemu would fall in love with her inexplicably. After all, she and Yue Chemu didn’t have much in common.

The only intersections are the ruined temple and the sacrificial hall, and only twice.

Besides, she was using him as a scapegoat. Even if Yue Chemu was stupid, he should have realized it afterwards.

It’s good enough that you don’t hate her, how can you possibly like her?

So he probably wasn't interested in her.

Thinking of his master's hesitant look, Shaodian Si Shui's mouth twitched and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

No way, could it be that Yue Chemu likes Master?

Then the master firmly rejected his suggestion, which led to the current famous scene.

She smiled awkwardly, stared at Yue Chemu from head to toe, then spoke slowly.

"Mr. Yue has a strong taste."

He actually likes her master and no longer likes the heroine?

I really can't tell when this happened.

Could it be that during the days when she pretended to be unconscious, there was some other connection between him and the master that she didn't know about?

Yue Chemu paused while drinking the medicine and looked at her in surprise.

"what?"

He didn't understand the meaning of her words, what was meant by strong taste.

Yue Chemu lowered his head and glanced at the medicine bowl. Could it be that she meant that the medicine was too bitter, but he could still drink it?

Bitter medicine tastes good, especially since it was brought by her, so he could drink it no matter how bitter it was.

Thinking of this, Yue Chemu looked at her quietly. The more he looked, the more shy he felt. He was so shy that the tips of his ears turned red, as if they were dripping with blood.

When Shaodian Sishui saw his shy look, it was as if a new world had opened up to her, and she clicked her tongue twice.

She raised her eyebrows at him with a smile, an expression that said, "I understand everything."

"I understand. Age and status are not distance. A true man is one who dares to love and hate."

Love, isn't always like this.

This is a world where women are superior. It is not natural for men to like women who are stronger than themselves.

Just like the little Lolita and the uncle in the domineering president novel, oh my, I’m going to eat this melon.

She threw a coquettish glance at Yue Chemu and gave him a big thumbs up.

If he really likes the master, it's not impossible.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he can fall in love with the master, provided that the master is not her mother.

This way, she would not have to instigate a marriage between Shanrong and Zhou, and she could also cooperate with Shanrong without having to sacrifice herself.

It’s like killing two birds with one stone, so great!

The Gushu Village was in chaos, with people running wild.

After Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong came back, he told Shaodian Sishui.

"The group of people you brought are almost dead. Do you want to save them?"

"Need not."

Shaodian Sishui paused, glanced at Yue Chemu, and thought about explaining.

"They died, they didn't do it to save him. They were from the Guyang tribe and they wanted to kill Yue Chemu."

The three words "Yue Che Mu" made Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong stunned.

She looked at Yue Chemu with deep eyes, then looked away and looked at her daughter again.

It seemed as if he wanted to hear her explanation as to why she was connected with Prince Shanrong. Not only that, Yue Chemu was also Shaodian Haolan's husband.

She had also heard about the marriage between the Great Zhou and the Shanrong.

Shaodian Si Shui was afraid that Yue Chemu would misunderstand her and her master as well, so she hurried to explain to Yue Chemu.

"Don't think too much. I didn't mean to harm you. I didn't find any help after I went out."

Before she could finish her words, Yue Chemu interrupted her with a gentle smile on his face.

"I believe you, you don't need to explain."

Shaodian Sishui was slightly stunned, ah?

Just because you love her so much, you believe her?

She looked at Yue Chemu, then at her master.

I saw that the master's brows were slightly frowned, his eyes were full of fierceness, and his expression was not right.

She hurriedly said, "I need to explain. The jade pendant you gave me was accidentally stolen by a beggar, and then it was discovered by the people of the Guyang tribe. The young master of the Guyang tribe wanted to find you, so he chased me."

"I was forced into a corner and couldn't get any help, so I had to trick him into coming here and let him fight with the villagers and both sides would suffer."

Yue Chemu had a gentle smile on his face.

"I know."

Shaodian Sishui grinned and looked at his master, only to see that his master's face had become even uglier.

"Master, what I said is true."

Although there is a bit of lies in it, it is true that the design caused losses to both those people and the villagers.

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong frowned and stared at her deeply.

"You come with me."

She walked out with a depressed mood.

Yue Chemu felt it, bit her lip, and whispered, "How about I go and explain it to your master?"

He went to explain?

Then the master would chop her into pieces.

The master must have discovered something, so he got angry.

She quickly shook her head, feeling a little guilty, and pretended to comfort Yue Chemu before leaving.

"You don't have to explain for me. Don't worry, it's all right. Although Master is serious with me, he is very kind to those around him."

Yue Chemu frowned slightly and watched her leaving, his mind going blank for a moment.

I have absolutely no idea what she means.

Did she misunderstand something? He just wanted to explain his identity to her master.

Since he was hunted down by the Guyang tribe, his identity must be extraordinary.

One can also guess that he might be a Shanrong.

With the marriage between the Great Zhou and the Shanrong, and considering his name, her master must have been suspicious.

He felt that he was too close to her, so he called her out for questioning.

Yue Chemu bit the dead skin on his lips and looked out nervously, but saw nothing.

Forget it, if her master really blames her, he will stand up for her.

Outside, when Shaodian Sishui came out, she saw her master staring at her with a serious face.

She laughed and shouted, "Master."

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong said, "The man inside is Yue Chemu, a Shanrong man. Do you know about his marriage to Shaodian Haolan?"

Shaodian Sishui nodded; "I know."

She actually knew?

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong laughed angrily; "Then why are you still with him..."

She paused and changed her words.

"You'd better stay away from him. He will never let you marry Shanrong. Don't forget your identity."

Shaodian Sishui smiled and nodded; "I understand, and I also know my own identity."

Naturally, her status cannot be compared with Shaodian Haolan.

The empress wanted to pave the way for Shaoding Haolan, so she would definitely tilt the Shanrong forces towards Shaoding Haolan. She knew this without her master telling her.

"So we still need Master to keep up the good work."

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong paused slightly. What did she mean by "keep up the good work"?

What does it mean for her to understand her own identity?

What does this mean? Could it be that her daughter already knows her identity?

She stared at her in astonishment and asked tentatively and cautiously.

"You know it all?"

There was a smile in Shaodian Sishui's eyes, but she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and nodded solemnly.

"Well, I already know."

She also frowned because she was trying not to laugh.

This made her expression look extremely awkward, even a little unnatural.

This time Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong was completely silent. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and asked with a somewhat nervous expression.

"When did you know that?"

Knowing that she was her daughter.

Shaodian Sishui thought for a moment and said mysteriously, "Before leaving Gushu Village."

When she left, her master told her to go and help save people. I guess her master and Yue Chemu must have been secretly in cahoots at that time.

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong took a breath of cold air.

She knew that her daughter must be extremely intelligent and would definitely guess something.

But I didn't expect that she had guessed it so early!

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong was a little worried and carefully observed his daughter in secret.

But he didn't notice her resistance or impatience, and even her expression was normal?

Did she accept her new identity so quickly?

A huge stone in her heart fell slightly. She felt a little touched and a little sad. She reached out and hugged Shaodian Si Shui in her arms.

"Dan'er, I shouldn't have kept this from you."

My mother also has her own difficulties!

Shaodian Sishui also hugged his master, patted her back comfortingly, and smiled.

"It's okay Master, I understand you."
