The scheming empress starts by conquering men

The guards outside walked in quickly.

Zhong Moyao stood up and was carried out by the guards, and the same went for Shao Jincong.

As he walked, Zhong Moyao said loudly, "Mother Queen, His Highness was seriously ill last night and did not get married with Shao Jincong. If Mother Queen wants to punish someone, then punish me."

"But yesterday I..."

Shao Jincong wanted to say that he and Ji had married, but Zhong Moyao glared back at him.

Zhong Moyao continued, "I remember that Shao Jincong is the husband of the Second Princess. Is it inappropriate for His Majesty to assign him to the Sixth Prince?"

"Even if it was the Marquis of Shao who threatened you, you are the king of the Great Zhou. Why would you sacrifice your own daughter to mess around with the couple?"

Her voice was heard by Shaodian Haolan outside.

She frowned and looked towards the Yangxin Palace with sharp eyes.

Is it the Mother Empress who is interfering?

Why did this happen? Why did the Queen Mother promise Shao Jincong to the Sixth Brother?

Shaodian Haolan knew nothing, not even what the Mother Empress was doing.

And what Zhong Moyao said... the threats from Shao Bohou, etc., she knew nothing about it.

Shaodian Haolan took a few steps forward, wanting to hear Zhong Moyao explain the reason.

"Wait!"

Shao Dian Ruixue's dull and cold voice was heard from the Yangxin Palace, and Zhong Moyao and Shao Jincong were called back by Shao Dian Ruixue again.

Unable to hear what they were talking about inside, Shaodian Haolan's mind was in a mess and he had a lot of thoughts.

She even wondered if the Empress Dowager was deliberately trying to suppress her and so didn't allow Shao Jincong to marry her.

After all, Shao Jincong is the son of Shao Bohou.

Oh, right, that secret letter.

Shaodian Haolan took out the secret letter and opened it. After seeing what Shao Chaogan wrote, Shaodian Haolan's face showed joy.

But why didn't the Queen Mother kill the Sixth Brother, but instead betrothed Shao Jincong to him? What was her intention?

Could it be that the Empress wanted Jin Cong to pretend to marry Lao Liu first, let Lao Liu die, and then let Jin Cong marry her?

Zhong Moyao just said that Lao Liu and Jin Cong did not get married last night.

Since there was no wedding ceremony, does that mean that if Laoliu dies, Jincong will be hers?

Thinking of this possibility, Shaodian Haolan's face was full of joy.

Just as she was lost in thought, the door opened.

The chief eunuch came out, looked forward and sang loudly.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Shao Jincong is the son of the Shao family of Beifa, and the former husband of the Second Princess. However, he has ulterior motives and is fickle. When he failed to seduce the Sixth Princess, he secretly harmed her, causing the Sixth Prince to become seriously ill and dying."

"I think of him as the son of the Shaw family, so I tolerate him again and again."

"However, he did not respect the monarch, did not revere the imperial power, threatened to kill me in front of the palace, was insane and unbecoming, and I was deeply saddened."

"Shao Jincong shall be punished with 20 lashes and thrown into prison as a warning to others."

After the chief eunuch finished speaking, he coughed and sang again.

"Your Majesty orally."

"Please ask the witch doctor to go to the Sixth Princess's residence and treat her. As long as the Sixth Princess is not well, Shao Jincong will not be able to step out of prison."

"From now on, Shao Jincong's punishment order will be promptly issued to all major cities and government offices. I want everyone in the world to know that anyone who wants to harm my daughter will end up dead!"

Shaodian Haolan opened his mouth wide, listening to what the chief eunuch said in disbelief.

Every word was enough to make her deaf. The Queen Mother wanted to kill Shao Jincong. Not only that, she also wanted to save the sixth brother and threaten Shao Bohou? !

This was something Shaodian Haolan had not expected. The Mother Empress would actually go to such lengths for the Sixth Prince.

why! !

She lifted her skirt, knelt down, and bowed.

"I beg you to revoke your order! Your Majesty, Shao Jincong is innocent!"

"Please ask the Queen Mother to treat Sixth Sister's illness, and please forgive Shao Jincong!"

She knelt alone, but Shaodian Sheyu and Shaodian Ziqing beside her frowned and did not kneel.

If they all kneeled down and begged for mercy for Shao Jincong, then Shao Jincong...the Empress Mother would want to kill her even more.

Soon, Shao Jincong was carried out by the guards.

There was no expression on Zhong Moyao's face. He strode out and paused when he passed by Shaoding Haolan. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He placed his right hand in front of his lower abdomen, his left hand behind his back, and strode out of the palace with his head held high and his chest puffed out.

The Great Wizard obeyed His Majesty's order and went to the Sixth Princess's Palace.

As soon as Zhong Moyao got off the carriage, Yan Le walked out quickly from the mansion.

"Has the great wizard arrived?" Zhong Moyao asked.

Yan Le stepped forward to support his arm and whispered, "Don't worry, my lord. The great witch has come and the prince is well now."

Zhong Moyao nodded and followed him in.

Yan Le looked around curiously, "Why didn't Mrs. Shao come back with you, Mrs. Jun?"

Zhong Moyao raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "From now on, there will be no Shao Fu's servant."

After the two entered the mansion, Zhong Moyao saw Shaoying standing in the corridor holding the wolf cub, blocking their way.

Zhong Moyao frowned slightly.

"Shaoying has met the princess' husband."

"What are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"

Zhong Moyao lowered his eyes and stared at him.

For some reason, he disliked Shaoying very much. He knew that he was just an adviser to His Highness, but he just couldn't get close to him. He even felt a little disgusted with Shaoying being around His Highness.

Shaoying said, "My dear husband, the little wolf cub has not eaten for the past few days. Shaoying is worried whether it is sick. She asked a veterinarian for advice. The little wolf cub may miss Your Highness too much, so it refuses to eat. Shaoying wants to take the little wolf cub to visit Your Highness, but Jiayi said that the husband of the princess does not allow anyone to enter, so Shaoying is waiting for Your Highness here."

Zhong Moyao glanced at the little wolf cub, then at Shaoying.

He didn't want to pay any attention to him and walked past him, but when he saw the sickly look of the little wolf cub, he couldn't bear it.

"Come with me."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and instructed Yan Le.

"Your Highness has just recovered from a serious illness and needs to be taken good care of. Go and ask the kitchen to prepare some porridge and side dishes."

"Here."

Yan Le took the order and walked across the corridor to the right.

They went straight to Qingzhu Courtyard.

When he arrived at Qingzhu Courtyard, Zhong Moyao heard Shaodian Sishui coughing from inside the house.

The sound was unusually loud, and even his throat was a little hoarse.

He walked in quickly and looked at Shaodian Sishui. He saw her sitting at the desk, coughing continuously with her left hand lowered to her lips, and writing something quickly with her right hand.

Yan Xi was grinding ink for her.

Although I knew last night that she was pretending to be seriously ill, I was still a little worried about her high fever.

Now that he saw that she had truly woken up, Zhong Moyao's face finally showed some color.

"Your Highness!"

When Yan Xi saw his master coming, he put down the servant he was working for and quickly went over to greet him.

Zhong Moyao took off his cloak and handed it to Yan Xi. He did not rush to get close to her, but walked to the stove next to him to warm her and dispel the cold air so as not to hurt her.

Shaodian Sishui looked up at Zhong Moyao, followed his figure, and looked at Shaoying and the little wolf cub standing outside the house.

When their eyes met, Shaoying immediately smiled and nodded.

"Shaoying has met His Highness."

Shaodian Sishui coughed; "What's the matter?"

Shaoying glanced around and walked in quickly. After closing the door, he put the wolf cub on the ground and took out a small rolled paper from his sleeve.

He held it in both hands and handed it to Shaodian Sishui.

"Your Highness, please look."
