The scheming empress starts by conquering men

As soon as night fell, Shaodian Sishui rode back to Beifa City at full speed.

When she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she just saw the secret guards driving a carriage to the gate.

She and the secret guards arrived at the same time, but there was a woman tied to the secret guards' carriage. She was one of the three people who secretly followed Shaodian Sishui when they left the city.

She told them not to alert the enemy, but unexpectedly, they did just that.

That's fine, she's surprised, but she has a backup plan.

The guard at the door saw the person coming and quickly went in to inform Shao Chaogan.

The two people following Shaodian Sishui stared at their own people on the carriage. They lowered their heads and wanted to slip away without saying a word.

However, Shaodian Sishui was one step ahead of them and came to the front of the carriage and waved to the two of them.

"Wait a minute, the two of you don't leave yet, come here and move the things into the mansion, and this person will carry them together."

Shao Chaogan came quickly. When she heard Shaodian Sishui's voice, she subconsciously looked around.

When she saw her own people tied to the carriage, she frowned and glared at Shaodian Sishui with displeasure.

"Why did Your Highness Sixth Prince tie up my subordinates?"

Shaodian Sishui gave her a kind smile in return; "Guess."

Shao Bohou: "...Sixth Prince, I am not kidding you."

Guess what, how could she guess what the Sixth Prince was going to do next.

Shao Dian Si Shui hummed and nodded, "I never joke with outsiders." She continued to instruct Shao Chaogan's subordinates, "Be careful and move all the salt to the warehouse in the mansion."

"salt?"

Shao Chaogan raised his voice and stared at the cloth bag on the carriage without blinking.

"Is this salt?"

Shaodian Sishui smiled and said, "It's absolutely genuine."

Under her command, several people moved quickly, entered the mansion through the side door and headed for the warehouse.

A truckload of salt weighed about a thousand kilograms, and it was all moved in just a few times.

Shao Chaogan didn't say a word throughout the whole process. He stared at the pockets and thought to himself, is this really salt?

Don't tell me it's some random thing, I'm just teasing her on purpose.

She quickly entered the warehouse in disbelief and opened the bag of salt to check if it was real salt.

However, when she opened the bag, what she saw were not the huge grains of salt she had imagined.

"This is……"

Shao Chaogan's back stiffened slightly, and he stared in amazement at the snow-white fine gravel in the bag.

"This, this, this... is... is salt? How is this possible?"

She had never seen snow-white salt. Isn't salt usually black or yellow? How could it be white?

This is impossible!

Shao Chaogan didn't believe it, so he put his hand into a grain of salt, crushed it, took it out, and tasted it carefully after quickly and lightly touching it with the tip of his tongue.

After feeling the salty taste, Shao Chaogan suddenly froze, his face suddenly turned red, and saliva was secreted rapidly in his mouth.

She was reluctant to spit it out, so she could only swallow the saliva mixed with salt.

too salty!

There is no impurities!

Shao Chaogan's face was filled with shock, his hands trembled, his legs and feet went limp and he sat down on the ground with a thump, muttering to himself.

"This is really salt, not bitter or astringent, a very refreshing salty taste, this taste..."

She never tried.

It is salty, so it is indeed table salt, but it is not the bitter coarse salt that we have used before.

This is something I have never heard of or seen before. Could this be a grain of salt?

In the candlelight in the room, Shao Bohou took the fine salt in her hand, rubbed it carefully and looked at it. She was so dazzled that she couldn't see the size of the salt.

Shao Bohou closed his eyes tightly, then opened them and rubbed them, but still could not see clearly.

What does this mean?

This means that the salt is very fine, so fine that she can't even see how big the particles are.

In an instant, Shao Chaogan remembered something and looked quickly at the other bags impatiently.

She stood up trembling, went to all the bags of salt and opened them one by one.

Every time he opened one, Shao Chaogan would go crazy, grabbing it from the bottom with his hand, taking his hand out, and licking the tip of his index finger with the tip of his tongue.

After trying all the bags, Shao Chaogan's mind went blank and he swallowed subconsciously.

He didn't even notice that his lips had turned white from the saltiness.

She took a deep breath and walked out quickly.

As soon as she came out, she saw Shaodian Si Shui with her arms folded across her chest, looking at her lips nonchalantly and mischievously and asked.

“Is it salty?”

"salty."

Shao Chao nodded blankly and licked his lips subconsciously, feeling the saltiness making his lips bumpy.

Shaodian Sishui coughed with a smile in her eyes and put her fist on her lips.

"I said this thing is better than coarse salt and I will replenish it within three days. Do you believe it now?"

Shao Chaogan seemed to be hesitant to speak, and after a long while he finally made a gesture of invitation.

"Your Highness, can we have a chat in the study?"

She wanted to know how and where His Highness got this divine salt.

Shaodian Sishui gladly accepted and followed Shao Chaogan to the study.

Of course, the three people who were secretly following her were also taken to the study by her.

Shao Chaogan didn't understand. Since the Sixth Prince wanted to bring her subordinates with her, then she could just take them along.

Although she felt that the Sixth Prince seemed unfriendly to her subordinates, who made her want to bring him along?

Entering the study, Shaodian Sishui sat in the main seat as usual.

Shao Bohou stood in front of her, thought for a moment, then suddenly lifted up his skirt and knelt on one knee.

"Your servant Shao Chaogan accepts the blame."

Shaodian Sishui sneered, "What crime have you committed?"

Shao Chaogan frowned slightly, looked up at Shaodian Sishui, and said with great conflict and shame.

"Regarding the salt matter, I did not believe Your Highness before, and even... I said that Your Highness was so arrogant."

Shaodian Sishui nodded in understanding and said "oh".

She said, given Shao Bohou's temper, how could he believe her?

But she was not the kind of person who would care about trivial matters. What's more, she didn't hear what Shao Chaogan said.

"Alright, I can be less petty than you. Hurry up and get up. I have important things to deal with."

After Shao Chao started doing it, he looked at Shaodian Si Shui with flickering eyes.

"Sixth Prince, that salt...how did you get it?" She rubbed her hands and asked flatteringly; "So much salt, more than what we used before..."

"We will discuss this matter later. For now, let's talk about the problems of these three people."

Shaodian Sishui interrupted her and looked at the three people next to her.

She knew what Shao Chaogan wanted to ask. He just wanted to know how the salt came to be tens of thousands times better than the previous coarse salt.

Right now we are not talking about the salt issue, we also have to deal with these three people.

Shao Chaogan blinked slightly in surprise. His brain was not working fast enough and he failed to understand the meaning of the Sixth Prince's words.

It’s not her fault that she’s slow to react, but the salt has made her so excited that her brain isn’t working at all.

"Are these three the assault guards beside you?" Shaodian Sishui asked the dull-witted Shao Chaogan.

Shao Chao nodded blankly; "Yes, they are indeed my assault guards."

"The kind that is very loyal and sincere?" Shaodian Sishui asked again.

"What do you mean, Your Highness? The three of them are very loyal. My clan and their clans are old friends, and they can be considered sisters who are like brothers and sisters."

Shao Chaogan's brain started working and he was full of doubts.

His Highness suddenly asked about their loyalty, what did this mean?

Could it be that Your Highness still doubts their loyalty?

"Hahahaha...old friend?"

Shaodian Sishui seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help laughing. She touched the wings of her nose with her fingertips and looked at the charge guard next to her. She said in a mocking tone, "Sisters who are like brothers?"

"From my perspective, they are just fake sisters."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Shaodian Sishui couldn't help laughing.

"With your strength, can you be called sisters by Shao Bohou?"

The three of them stood in the hall, looking at each other with very ugly expressions.

It was not difficult for them to see the sarcasm in Shaodian Sishui's words, but they had no way to refute it.

As long as they tell what happened today, Shao Chaogan will definitely suspect them.

But if they didn't tell anyone, how could Shaodian Sishui hide it?

She put away her smile and looked at Shao Bohou with a serious expression.

"Last night, when I left the city, I found three little followers following me." She glanced at the three people who were bowing their heads beside her, and then looked at Shao Chaogan again; "I wonder if it was the Marquis's order?"
