The scheming empress starts by conquering men
Chapter 24 The Truth
Yin Zhaoxu knew that the woman must be someone extraordinary. As long as she was there, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
He had to see her, had to know who she was.
If he doesn't see her today, perhaps he will never see her again, or she will never belong to him again.
Inexplicably, he felt the emotion of losing her.
Yin Zhaoxu was so excited that he held the old woman's hand tightly until his knuckles turned white. He looked at her with anticipation.
The old woman frowned slightly and looked at the man in front of her as if he were a fool, but when she saw that he looked like a Loulan person.
Thinking of the fact that Loulan was a vassal state of the Great Zhou and also a state, the old woman explained in a gentle voice.
"This is the dress of my benefactor. She has already left the city."
"What, she left?"
Yin Zhaoxu, who finally saw a glimmer of hope, was disappointed again and slowly let go of the old woman's hand.
He sighed, wondering how she could have left so soon, and where would he find her in the future?
Yes, find her.
The old woman saw that the young man in front of her was a little bit stupid and was about to leave, but he grabbed her sleeve again.
"Do you know her name and where she went?" Yin Zhaoxu asked excitedly again.
The old woman knew that Shaodian Si Shui's name was Dan, but she didn't say it. Instead, she was wary of the man in front of her.
"I don't know. I don't know the name of my benefactor or where he went." She paused for a moment and continued, "But my benefactor is a noble, so you'd better not have any ambitions."
"Noble?" Yin Zhaoxu murmured, feeling lost. "Yes, I really can't even dream of it."
If she was just a noble, then there would be no possibility between him and her.
The person he is going to marry must be the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is what the mother empress once told her.
From the moment he was born, he was branded with the mark of marriage.
Otherwise, he would not have sneaked out of the palace, would not have been abducted by human traffickers, and would not have met her.
He really shouldn't have had any desire for that woman. There was an unbridgeable gap between his and her identities.
When someone came out of the government office, Yin Zhaoxu also figured out what happened. He told the officials how he was kidnapped and then rescued by the woman in red.
Originally, the officials didn't care at all whether he was kidnapped or rescued.
But when they heard that he was rescued by the woman in red and that he was the prince of Loulan, everyone looked at each other knowingly and became interested.
Prince Loulan was saved by the Sixth Princess?
Looking at the Prince of Loulan, he called the Sixth Princess "benefactor" all the time. They did not disclose the identity of the Sixth Princess, but sent people to carefully escort the Prince of Loulan to find the jade pendant, and after verifying his identity, they sent him back to his country.
Moreover, after writing the memorial, he did not report it truthfully to the empress, but concealed some information.
Shaodian Sishui knew nothing about this.
As soon as the old woman arrived at the door of the inn, she saw the Sixth Princess' carriage approaching.
She, her daughter and daughter-in-law moved aside to make way.
Suddenly, a few people from the surrounding area started talking.
"This is the Sixth Princess. Rumor has it that she is lustful and extremely cruel. She kills people when she is unhappy."
"I also heard that the Sixth Princess was not favored by the Empress and was almost killed by her, otherwise she would not have been allowed to marry on behalf of my sister."
"You don't know that the Sixth Princess's sister, who was born to the same mother, was fighting hard in Shanrong, but she, as the elder sister, went to marry other princesses. She is so cold-blooded and heartless."
"Hush, you're asking for your life. What do you know? You know nothing. I'm from Bian Jing, and I've heard the gossip."
"what news?"
The old woman frowned slightly and pricked up her ears with some curiosity.
Then the man lowered his voice and said, "The Sixth Princess requested permission to fight Shanrong first, and to return victorious to welcome her sister's bride. However, she was poisoned at the critical moment, and the Empress ordered her to go north to welcome her sister, and let the injured Second Princess go to Shanrong."
"If you ask me, the Second Princess couldn't have been injured at all. On the contrary, it was the Sixth Princess who was almost killed by the poison. All the civil and military officials in the court were watching. The witch doctor said that the poison was quite severe. Someone poisoned the princess. Humph..."
After this man finished speaking, he did not say anything more, and the rest was left to others to guess.
The audience sighed, and someone nearby made a "Pooh" sound in indignation.
"She deserves it. This kind of person doesn't deserve the Empress's love. She deserves to be poisoned. Why not poison her to death?"
"Hush, be careful, or the Sixth Princess will kill you if she hears you!"
The old woman sneered and looked at the carriage.
There is not a single good person in the royal family. The Sixth Princess’s vicious son is just one of the royal family members.
The fight for succession in the royal family has always been cruel. Even the Sixth Princess on the chariot is uncertain whether she will live or die in the future.
She could even hear from the few words spoken by these people how unfavored the Sixth Princess was, which meant that she had to be poisoned in order to marry in place of her sister.
But the old woman was in a good mood. She liked watching the royal family members killing each other. The more they died, the better. It would be best if all of them died!
She refused to listen and turned away.
But at the moment she turned around, a gust of wind happened to blew by, and her eyes were still on the carriage. The brocade around the carriage was suddenly blown up by the wind.
She saw a very familiar face.
"Clap."
The old woman fell to the ground holding Shaodian Sishui's clothes.
When the daughter saw this, she ignored her old mother's health and rushed forward to pick up the clothes like treasures, blaming her mother as she did so.
"Mother, what's wrong? You can't even carry the benefactor's clothes. If you destroy them, how will you return them to the benefactor when you see her next time?"
This kind of high-quality brocade cannot be bought in their remote small county.
The old woman did not listen to her daughter. Her mind was full of the fact that her benefactor was actually the sixth princess of the royal family, but she said her name was Dan and she lied to her.
The old woman's face turned red and she felt a little dizzy.
Her mind was in a mess. She thought of many things, but none of them connected.
Why did the Sixth Princess help her and why didn't she ask for anything in return?
There are also feathers. Those who buy and sell feathers are members of the royal family.
She never asked, could it be that she was the person behind this?
Could it be that the Sixth Princess already knew her identity?
Perhaps this is the only valid reason.
Thinking of this, the old woman closed her eyes with a wry smile, it was all fate.
All of this is destiny.
Why is God so blind to treat her like this? !
But she refused to accept her fate!
The old woman opened her eyes again, her pupils were bloodthirsty red.
"Let's go, Wu Zhang, let's go and leave Yicheng quickly."
She couldn't live here with her daughter and daughter-in-law any longer. If she continued to live here, she might die one day.
Since there is no place for them in Da Zhou, then they can go to Loulan.
Only by going there can we have a glimmer of hope to survive.
But even going to Loulan is not safe, because Loulan is a vassal state of the Great Zhou.
The only chance of survival is to go to Dayu Kingdom, which is hostile to Da Zhou.
Wu Zhang looked at his mother in surprise, "Mom, didn't the benefactor arrange a house here? Where should we go if we leave the city?"
