The scheming empress starts by conquering men

The further they went in, the higher the temperature became, the thicker the fog became, and it even got a little dark. Even though she had a strong sense of light, she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

She took out the fire stick and shook it, and everything near the fire stick was in sight.

Looking around, I saw that the cave was surrounded by ice cones, and in front of it was a large hot spring with hot mist coming out.

There is a cold lamp next to the hot spring, which seems to indicate someone has been here.

Walking forward, Shaodian Sishui lit the lamps one by one, and the entire cave was brightly lit.

After putting away the fire stick, Shaodian Sishui looked around. There were ice cones everywhere. The scene was beautiful and mysterious.

It really is worthy of being from the ancient times, it is naturally unadorned and beautiful beyond words.

Shaodian Sishui couldn't wait to unbutton her clothes. She must be smelly after not taking a bath for several months.

She tested the water temperature with her toes and felt that it was about 40 degrees Celsius. She sighed and walked towards the deeper part, soaking her entire body including her neck except her head in the hot spring.

“It’s so comfortable!”

Shaodian Sishui swam to a rock, leaned against it, closed his eyes and took a nap.

Outside the cave entrance, Shao Jincong found this place by accident. Seeing the horses outside the cave entrance, he felt relieved.

He knew that this was the fine horse that Shaodian Sishui rode.

The horse is here, which means His Highness is nearby.

Shao Jincong thought to himself, carefully observed the surroundings and dismounted his horse.

Leave the horses outside and head towards the cave.

He walked slowly and carefully, not wanting to make any sound.

He was afraid that His Highness was not in the cave, and that some ferocious beast in the cave would be frightened by his footsteps, thus putting himself in danger.

The further in he went, the higher the temperature became. Shao Jincong grabbed the edges of the cloak with both hands to prevent it from being scratched by the ice cones and rocks nearby.

The originally dark cave was filled with light, which was the light of candles.

Shao Jincong was delighted and quickened his pace as he walked inside.

After turning a corner, he stretched his neck to look and saw a scene that he would never be able to see again in his lifetime.

There is a hot spring in the cave, and in the hot spring is a naked woman.

The woman faced him, her arms resting naturally on the rocks beside her, and she dozed leisurely with her eyes closed.

She no longer had the arrogance of the past, nor the rebelliousness that she had seen, nor the lazy teasing when she spoke to him.

Some are just well-behaved, quiet and full of charm.

She was like a fairy from heaven, sneaking down to earth to play in the water.

Shao Jincong's head buzzed and his heart skipped a beat. He tried to hold his breath, but found that his breathing became more and more rapid.

At this moment, he clearly realized that he had fallen in love with her in a short period of time without realizing it.

If he were the old him, he would never watch a woman bathing so blatantly, let alone look at her.

Before meeting Shaodian Sishui, all he heard was negative news about her.

In his heart, Shaodian Sishui was a pretty but brainless fool.

The people of the Great Zhou are simple and honest. They never judge people by their appearance, but only focus on those with outstanding talents.

Obviously she is not the type that the public likes, nor is she his type.

But he didn't know why, he was inexplicably attracted by her aura and her every word and action.

He even had a terrible thought in his mind, wanting to tie her up to himself so that only he could see her.

This horrible thought caused Shao Jincong's saliva glands to secrete rapidly.

With a gulp, he swallowed his saliva.

The swallowing sound, which was not loud at first, made a heavy response in this empty cave.

"who!"

Shaodian Sishui's ears moved, and he suddenly opened his eyes and looked forward with a sharp gaze.

Shao Jincong panickedly retracted his neck and hid his head behind the ice cone, not daring to make any sound.

He was like a child who had been caught doing something wrong, at a loss as to whether to leave or just stand there.

He did not notice that his red cloak was scratched on the rocks and exposed.

He leaned against the ice cone wall and dared not move. Sweat broke out all over his body, and even his forehead was covered with tiny beads.

He didn't dare to respond for a long time.

Until Shaodian Sishui's stern voice sounded again from behind him, and it called out the person's name.

"Shao Jincong, come out!"

Shao Jincong's heart was pounding and his eyes widened in shock.

How did she know it was his?

Was it exposed somewhere?

He raised his arm slightly and smelled his body. There was no special smell on him.

That was...she just saw him?

No, he dodged so quickly just now that she couldn't see him at all.

Shao Jincong rolled his eyes and wanted to leave stealthily.

He suspected that Shaodian Sishui was deceiving him and actually didn't notice him at all.

Just as he was about to leave, Shaodian Sishui spoke again.

"The cloak you are wearing was prepared for you by my order. I saw it all."

Shao Jincong suddenly looked down at the cloak and discovered that it was hanging on the rock.

He cursed inwardly and tugged at his cloak in panic.

"Chi~"

The cloak was torn by the rocks, and there was a sound of silk tearing, which was particularly deafening in the silent cave.

Shao Jincong's hands, which were holding the cloak, froze and began to tremble slightly.

There was never a moment when he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just as he was trying to explain himself, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I am not...ah..."

With a puff, Shao Jincong was caught off guard and was dragged into the hot spring by Shaodian Sishui.

He danced around in the hot spring water in panic. Before he surfaced, Shaodian Sishui took the lead and pulled him out of the water.

Shao Jincong closed his eyes, quickly touched the hot spring water on his cheek, and opened his eyes.

Their eyes met, with almost an inch of distance between them.

Shao Jincong was stunned for a moment, his breathing stagnated slightly, he clenched his teeth and closed his lips, and his throat slid subconsciously.

Shaodian Sishui looked at him with interest, clamped his chin with her hand, and whispered in a low voice with a sweet breath.

"What? After you've peeked at me, you still want to run away?"

Shaodian Sishui's hand was pinching his chin like this, and Shao Jincong only felt a strange warm current flowing along his chin and throughout his body.

He actually had a dream about her...

Shao Jincong trembled all over, his mind was alert, his body was highly tense, he suddenly waved her hand away and retreated quickly.

But he accidentally tripped over the rocks under the hot spring and fell backwards.

In panic, Shao Jincong's hand unconsciously grasped Shaodian Sishui's arm tightly.

"Puff~"

Shaodian Sishui was pulled down by him, and they both fell down.

The moment she entered the water, Shaodian Si Shui's lips hit the tip of Shao Jincong's nose.

They separated at the slightest touch, but this simple touch made Shao Jincong's heart tremble under the water.

He was momentarily distracted, took a deep breath, and was choked by the water. He quickly surfaced and coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough..."

Shaodian Sishui opened her eyes in the hot spring, watching Shao Jincong's actions, her pupils dimmed slightly, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she quickly floated to the surface.

When he coughed, I took a step forward, pinched his chin, stood on tiptoes, and leaned over.

Until the moment their lips touched, Shao Jincong's coughing stopped suddenly, even his breathing stopped, his face turned purple, his eyes widened, and his pupils contracted as he looked at her at zero distance.

He didn't move at all, just looked at her quietly, looking at himself reflected in her pupils.

He saw shock and a hint of unspeakable enjoyment on his face.

At this moment, Shao Jincong felt his mind went blank.

There was only one voice in his heart: the Sixth Prince kissed him.

Why did the Sixth Prince kiss him? Why?

He didn't dare to think deeply, nor could he think deeply.

On the one hand, my brain was in a state of shutdown, and on the other hand, my mind was wandering, imagining that the dream I had last night had actually come true so quickly?

Just when he was expecting Shaodian Si Shui to take the next move, Shaodian Si Shui left his lips.

She just tasted it lightly and didn't go deeper.

Shaodian Sishui had a stern expression, looking at him with deep eyes. She clamped her hands on his chin and gently wiped his lips with her fingertips, trying to erase the traces she left.

"That's what you wanted, huh?"

Finally, she said the words that had been prepared long ago and did the plot she had designed.

Shao Jincong took a step back, avoiding her hand with a little reluctance.

His brows were slightly furrowed, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes, and there was a hint of shame on his face.

I am ashamed of my inner expectations just now.

What was he thinking just now? Why was he expecting something to happen with her?

He shook his head, his back teeth creaking.

He glared at Shaodian Sishui in anger and denied it flatly.

"I don't know what your Highness the Sixth Prince is talking about. What happened just now was not intentional. I just fell accidentally. I hope your Highness the Sixth Prince will not think too much about it."

"Besides, you were the one who pulled me down."

He argued vehemently, as if to prove that he had no feelings for her, and took a step back, alerting her.

Shaodian Sishui took a step forward with interest, a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Am I overthinking?"

Every time she took a step forward, Shao Jincong took a step back.

Until there was no way to retreat, Shao Jincong became angry and reminded her with gritted teeth.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do? I am the future husband of the Second Princess! Do you dare to have any improper thoughts about me?"

Shaodian Sishui nodded as a matter of course and said "hmm" softly.

"Well, I know you are my second sister's husband. As for the improper thoughts you mentioned?"

She chuckled and lowered her body.

"I don't know who is right between us."

Her lips were almost touching his, and as his eyes were panicked and a little expectant, she smiled mockingly, turned her head away from his lips, and fell into his ear, whispering softly.

"When you muttered my name in your sleep last night, I don't know if Second Sister knew about it. I also don't know if you did something wrong to me first, or if I did something wrong to you."

She said, tilting her head to look at him.

Shao Jincong's pupils contracted and he was extremely shocked.

"You, you're talking nonsense!"

Shao Jincong flatly denied it, pushed Shaodian Sishui away in panic, turned around and quickly climbed ashore, hiding himself in a wet state.

Shaodian Sishui was pushed by him, but his body remained as steady as a rock and did not move at all.

With mockery in her eyes, she allowed him to climb and hide without stopping him. Instead, she turned around and swam slowly towards where her clothes were.
