The scheming empress starts by conquering men
Chapter 23 Missed
The next morning, the city gate was opened, and the old woman bought a coffin and buried the child with her family.
It’s not that we don’t want to make a big fuss about the wedding, but the old woman said that the child will come back. What if the child doesn’t come back after all the big fuss about the wedding?
Shaodian Sishui did not go, for fear that if she showed up she would be discovered by officials in the city and her identity would be exposed.
After burying the child, Shaodian Sishui saw that there was nothing important to do with the old woman, so after giving instructions to the witch doctor, he planned to leave, go to the post station, and follow the wedding procession to the north.
Those officials must have been worried sick if he didn't return home for one night.
The old woman knew that Shaodian Sishui was a powerful person, so before she left, she called her to a deserted place and told her about the feather trading.
"Your Excellency has never asked about Lingyu's problem. I think you have an idea in your mind as to who did it." said the old woman.
Shaodian Sishui nodded with a faint smile on her face, wanting to tell the old woman her identity.
She is the person involved, but she has her own difficulties.
But before she could say anything, the old woman smiled and nodded and continued.
"In that case, I won't explain too much. There is only one thing I want to tell you."
The old woman said as she moved a little closer to her, pulling out an old token and handing it to her while whispering softly in her ear.
Shaodian Sishui looked at the token in his hand. When he heard the old woman's words, his pupils dilated and contracted rapidly, and his heart trembled.
As expected, she knew that the old woman in front of her was a person of high status, and she indeed had a blood feud with the royal family.
Really, whatever you think comes true.
I originally wanted to tell her my identity, but now I have to keep it secret.
If she knew that the descendant of the person who killed her entire family helped her, it would be tantamount to killing someone.
Unless, Shaodian Sishui's eyes darkened and he began to calculate in his mind.
After leaving the inn.
Shaodian Sishui took the token and went to the government office. After secretly making arrangements for the old woman's family, he left her token and left.
When I returned to the post station, I didn't go through the front door, but through the back door.
At this time, she didn't know that Yin Zhaoxu at the front door was clamoring to see her.
He said that he was kidnapped by the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom and asked the Sixth Princess to make the decision.
As soon as she entered the post station through the back door, the anxious officials waiting in the back hall saw her and all breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles of relief on their faces.
"Your Highness, you are finally back."
If they don't come back, their memorials will have to be sent back to Bianliang in an emergency over a distance of 800 miles.
If something really happened to the Sixth Princess, they would not be able to afford it even if they had ten heads.
Wenren also breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Shaodian Sishui.
"Your Highness, there is a man outside who claims to be the prince of Loulan and wants to see you."
Shaodian Sishui was puzzled; "Prince Loulan, has your identity been verified?"
Logically speaking, Yin Zhaoxu could not appear in Yicheng at this time, but should appear in Yangcheng.
"We have checked and there is no evidence."
No proof? Then it couldn't be Yin Zhaoxu.
The book mentioned that Yin Zhaoxu was wearing a jade pendant as a symbol of his status, and the novel never mentioned that the jade pendant fell off.
Shaodian Sishui chuckled disdainfully and said nonchalantly.
"Haha, some random person claiming to be the Prince of Loulan wants to see me. Do I have to see him too? Send him away. It's getting late. We should set off."
"Yes." Wenren accepted the order and retreated.
Outside the door, Wenren had someone push Yin Zhaoxu, who was about to force his way in, out.
"You can't see the Sixth Prince just because you want to."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the soldiers around her and coughed lightly.
"Your Highness's order."
All the soldiers knelt down and listened to the order.
Wenren imitated Shaodian Sishui's tone and spoke to Yin Zhaoxu.
"What random person who claims to be the Prince of Loulan wants to see me? Does this mean I want to see him too? Send him away. It's getting late. We should set off."
Yin Zhaoxu frowned, his mind went blank for a moment.
I vaguely feel that this tone, this manner, and this attitude are so similar to that of the woman in red.
Could it be...Yin Zhaoxu's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly, "The Sixth Princess is wearing a red dress."
Wenren was slightly stunned after hearing this and turned to look at Yin Zhaoxu.
I thought that His Highness was wearing red clothes before, but he was wearing black clothes today.
However, what His Highness wears has nothing to do with him, who is pretending to be the prince of Loulan.
Even if the person in front of him is really the Prince of Loulan, it has nothing to do with him.
What's more, if he asked this question, it would be an offense to His Highness.
Your Highness has shown great mercy by not arresting him and sending him to prison.
Wenren waved his hand impatiently and gave orders to the guards arrogantly.
"Are they all dead? Why don't you drive him away?"
So, Yin Zhaoxu was forced to leave the entrance of the post station.
But he didn't leave. He stood among the crowd on the street, waiting for the people from the post station to come out.
As long as he takes a look, he will know whether the Sixth Princess is that woman.
Soon, the wedding procession and the carriage drove from behind the post station to the front street.
Shaodian Sishui was dressed in black and sat on the carriage, which was also covered tightly.
However, as the car body swayed, the silk was gently fluttered in the wind, and people outside could still see inside. Although they could not see the face clearly, they could see that the person inside was wearing black clothes.
When Yin Zhaoxu saw that the Sixth Princess was wearing black clothes in the carriage, the light in his eyes gradually faded.
"Not her."
Thinking of his previous guess in his mind, Yin Zhaoxu couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"How could the Sixth Princess be that heartless and hateful woman?"
Whenever he thought of that woman, Yin Zhaoxu gritted his teeth in anger.
"Fortunately I can ride a horse, otherwise I would definitely be in danger again."
She didn't know if she could ride a horse, but she just left him there.
Damn, it's so hateful.
"Don't let me meet you again, otherwise..."
Otherwise, what? Yin Zhaoxu swallowed his words.
I knew I wasn't to blame the woman, but I still felt inexplicably angry.
No woman had ever dared to treat him like that. He was the only prince of Loulan with noble status. How dare she treat him like that?
At this moment, Yin Zhaoxu was extremely angry.
He was angry that Shaodian Sishui ignored him, angry that she left like that, and even more angry that she didn't even leave him a name.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Yin Zhaoxu left the crowd with a livid face and walked towards the yamen official's residence in a daze.
Since the Sixth Princess didn't care about his business, he could only seek help from this official of the Great Zhou.
But no one knew where his Wang Pei had been lost, so the officials could only ask him to look for it along the same route he took.
As soon as he arrived at the government office, the distraught Yin Zhaoxu was bumped into by an old woman.
The old woman was holding the clothes that Shaodian Si Shui had changed out of in her arms. Shaodian Si Shui didn't want them anymore, but she felt that they were her benefactor's clothes and couldn't be thrown away casually to be picked up by beggars.
After being bumped by the reckless guy, all the clothes fell to the ground.
The old woman was anxious and rushed to pick it up, just like picking up a treasure.
The official who escorted the old woman out had an expression that changed instantly. Those were the clothes of the Sixth Princess. She looked up and angrily scolded Yin Zhaoxu.
"Who dares to bump into an important person in the government office? Come, arrest this person!"
Yin Zhaoxu did not hear his words, but his eyes fell on the woman in red. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed the old woman's hand, and asked her frantically.
"Where did you get this dress? Have you seen that woman? Where is she? I want to see her." Fearing that others would not believe him, he hurriedly added, "She is my benefactor."
