The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Shaodian Sishui shook his head repeatedly; "This is impossible."

Yue Chemu liked her. She had only met him a few times and knew him for a few days, and she hadn't seduced him, so how could he like her?

It was inexplicable. Moreover, she had never thought of using Yue Chemu to get Shanrong's support. How could she fall in love with him after only meeting him a few times?

"Master, don't worry. I don't like him, and he can't like me either." She paused and said, "Even if he likes me, I won't marry him, don't worry."

Only by letting Shanrong marry Shaodian Haolan will she have no worries when she takes action.

She only wanted to destroy Shanrong, but she never thought of making Shanrong a vassal state of the Great Zhou.

If Shanrong became a vassal state of the Great Zhou, she would be very restricted in what she wanted to do.

Due to Shanrong's geographical location, coal and iron mines are abundant, and she only wants to keep them all for herself and does not want to share them.

Seeing that his daughter's expression did not seem fake, Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong sighed deeply, and his eyes became much gentler.

"Since you have no intention towards him, you should make it clear and not let him misunderstand."

"Of course, don't worry, Master. I will talk to him and explain everything."

Shaodian Sishui frowned after he finished speaking and stared at Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong with deep eyes.

I really want to ask her, Master, are you and I related by blood? Are you my biological mother?

After thinking for a long time, she finally didn't ask. From the fact that her master was hesitant to speak just now, Shaodian Sishui actually understood it in her heart.

The matter was not as simple as the identity. Since the master did not want to tell her now, she would not ask.

Some things will be known sooner or later, she has time and can wait.

After the two finished their conversation, Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong went out to check the situation and gave them time to confess their feelings.

Shaodian Sishui returned to the house and was wondering how to ask.

You can't just ask, Yue Chemu, are you fond of me?

If he said no, wouldn't that mean she was being too sentimental and embarrassing herself?

If he said yes, how would she respond?

I am the princess of the Great Saturday, and the one I am marrying is my second sister. You cannot like me.

Or maybe I don’t have any feelings for you, please don’t be foolish.

How strange it is to say these things!

She makes herself seem like a hot commodity, but she is not the kind of person who is conceited.

What's more, she didn't think Yue Chemu liked her.

How could she open her mouth and ask?

"Girl, what's wrong with you? Have you encountered any difficulties? You can tell me and I will try to help you analyze it."

Yue Chemu was the first to speak and break the silence. He stared at her without blinking. Because of her frowning and conflicted emotions, he also felt a little nervous.

Yue Chemu didn’t know what was wrong with her, so she went out and talked to the old woman for a while. When she came back, she was very conflicted.

It seems like I have encountered something very difficult to solve.

Shaodian Sishui came back to her senses and stared at him with complicated eyes.

"Are you pleased with me?"

After much hesitation, she finally asked.

Yue Chemu paused, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his worried eyes suddenly turned into astonishment.

"Why do you say that, girl?"

He didn't want to let her know for the time being that he liked her.

After all, this girl is a noblewoman of the Great Zhou, and she must know her own identity.

Even if she was interested in him, she would definitely reject him.

He wanted to wait until he returned to Shanrong and ask his mother to let him marry her before he could tell her his feelings.

When Shaodian Sishui heard his counter-question, her originally conflicted and complicated expression disappeared and turned into one of surprise.

Neither saying yes nor no.

"So you never liked me, did you?"

Yue Chemu didn't say anything, but pursed his lips and looked at her with a frown.

He didn't seem to understand why she was asking these questions.

Shaodian Si Shui stared at him carefully and found nothing unusual about him, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you, how could you possibly be attracted to me?" She stepped forward and patted Yue Chemu's shoulder, and said to him sincerely, "Master misunderstood our relationship and thought you were attracted to me. Since you are not attracted to me, I am relieved."

'Since you don't, then I can rest assured?'

This sentence shocked Yue Che and Mu Mei so much that her ears rang and her eyes became dizzy. His dark eyes stared at her deeply.

It was as if he wanted to tell the truth from her face, until he found that what she said was not false, but very real.

At this moment, Yue Chemu felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest.

My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and in that instant, I felt like I couldn't breathe.

"Are you... worried that I like you?"

There was a bitter taste in his words, but there was no sign of abnormality on his face.

Shaodian Sishui didn't realize it, and smiled awkwardly, saying it very embarrassedly.

"Don't blame me, don't blame me. I was overthinking it. Blame me for being narrow-minded. I will never think too much about it in the future. Don't worry!"

She said that she didn't have much in common with him, so how could he be fond of her.

Even if she has the halo of the heroine, you can't like her so abruptly, there must be a sign.

It turns out that Master was really wrong. How embarrassing.

Shaodian Sishui felt that this topic was too embarrassing.

Her strenuous defense made Yue Chemu's already pale face even more bloodless, and even her red lips turned white.

It turns out that she never liked him at all, and saving him might just be an act of kindness on her part.

Yue Chemu's face was gloomy, and he stared at her without blinking. He lowered his head to hide the strong possessiveness in his eyes, but said.

"No, you are kind-hearted. You really misunderstood."

He was more than pleased with her.

Shaodian Sishui looked at him secretly and saw that he had his head down, as if he didn't care at all about what she said, but his face looked bad because of his injury.

"When your injury gets better, I'll take you back to Yuyi."

"Thank you, young lady." Yue Chemu put his hand on his forehead; "I'm a little tired and want to rest."

Shaodian Sishui nodded; "You take a rest, I won't disturb you."

After saying that, she left the house and considerately closed the door for him. After coming out, she was so embarrassed that she almost managed to save up a one-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.

"Master! I told him that there was no way he liked me, but you didn't believe me. How embarrassing!"

Inside the house, Yue Chemu looked at Shaodian Si Shui's departing back, his eyes became deep, and his strong possessiveness became stronger and stronger.

Since she thinks he misunderstood, let her think so.

He has never failed to get the person he wants.

Send him back to Yuyi?

"Heh, no matter who you are, I will never let you leave."

As for the marriage between Shaodian Haolan and the Great Zhou, it doesn't matter whether this marriage is harmonious or not.

He Shanrong State can also be king.

The more he thought about it, the more determined Yue Chemu's eyes became. He was determined to succeed, and even a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Shaodian Haolan went to pick up the bride in person, and he was indeed a little reluctant at first.

But right now, it suits him just fine.

For four consecutive days, there was chaos in Gushu Village, with shouting and wailing everywhere. On the day of sacrifice, two dying people were burned there.

However, the Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong courtyard in the south of the village seemed unusually quiet.

No one dares to cause trouble here. Anyone who dares to find this place will suffer a fate worse than death.

Shaodian Sishui practiced sword in the yard at night, and occasionally learned acupuncture from Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong during the day.

As for Yue Chemu, he was very quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if he did not exist.

He received acupuncture treatment from Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong during the day, practiced walking with the help of a cane, and rested in the house at night.

Apart from a few words with Shaodian Sishui during acupuncture, there was almost no communication.

Shaodian Sishui didn't feel anything was wrong and everything was the same as before.

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong felt that there was something very strange between the two of them, but she didn't ask any further questions.

Maybe it's because they talked it out that the two of them ignored each other's existence.

This is a good thing, and it saves unnecessary trouble.

The days were uneventful and stable until the fifth day.

The village was finally quiet.

At night, Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong said to Shaodian Sishui, "You can leave here tonight. The horse has been prepared for you."

She looked at Yue Chemu; "Your legs need time to recover, so you can't ride a horse for the time being. You stay here, and I will send you away when you are healed."

Shaodian Sishui nodded, he indeed couldn't ride a horse.

In this world, there is no three-piece suit for riding a horse. Apart from the reins, there is not even a saddle or stirrups. He definitely cannot sit still.

Yue Chemu bit her lip and looked towards Shaodian Si Shui, saying indifferently.

"Miss, can you take me away on horseback? I want to return to Yuyi as soon as possible. Miss, you also know acupuncture. You can give me acupuncture on the way back."

She has acupuncture?

Shaodian Sishui didn't know what he was thinking, so she smiled awkwardly.

"My acupuncture skills are just a shell. They are definitely not comparable to Master's. When I gave you acupuncture before, it was Master who was teaching you. Without Master, I wouldn't dare to treat you."

"Master has already said that he will send you away. You should stay here. When you are ready, you will be able to meet Yuyi yourself."

Who would like a cripple? Not to mention that Shaodian Haolan didn't like him. Even if they liked him, he would have a stain by becoming a cripple.

How could the empress let her beloved daughter marry a cripple?
