The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Shao Chaogan was now completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

What on earth is your Highness talking about?

"What tail? What order?" She looked at the three people beside her in confusion; "Nong Xuelian, Yang Jiaji, Lou Zici, what exactly happened?"

The three of them raised their heads, pondered for a moment, and finally Nong Xuelian stood up to answer.

Nong Xuelian was the first woman who was pushed into the hot spring by Shaodian Sishui. She had a slim and tall figure, single eyelids, and slightly sunken cheeks.

The only thing people can remember is her pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes, which are small but can focus light.

She took a deep breath and bowed.

"My Lord, the Sixth Prince left the city in the middle of the night. I felt something was amiss, so I followed the Sixth Prince out of the city without your permission."

Shao Chaogan was shocked and looked at her in astonishment, asking in confusion.

"You... who gave you the courage to secretly monitor the Sixth Prince?"

She didn't even dare to do it. How dare these people be so bold as to secretly follow Shaodian Sishui?

Are you tired of living?

"My Lord, I am very clear-sighted. I am only worried about the safety of the Sixth Prince. I have no other thoughts."

The three of them knelt down together, not wanting to tell the truth.

Shao Chaogan glanced at each of them one by one and did not believe what they said.

This kind of rhetoric could fool others, but could it be used to fool her, whom I have known for many years?

They were her people, and they knew that she was not on good terms with the Sixth Prince.

How could I possibly worry about the safety of the Sixth Prince?

So they were lying, not because they were worried about Shaodian Si Shui's safety, but because they took the initiative to help her monitor Shaodian Si Shui secretly.

Thinking of this possibility, Shao Chaogan took the matter upon himself and knelt down on his knees.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Sixth Prince, it was my fault that I failed to control my subordinates and caused them to disturb Your Highness. If Your Highness wants to punish me, then punish me!"

"Punishment? That's an easy thing to say."

Shaodian Sishui sneered and looked at the three people kneeling beside him.

When she saw a hint of success in the eyes of the three men and that they did not feel grateful for Shao Chaogan's plea, she denied in her heart that she wanted to use them.

Since they are of no use, they can only die. As for cutting off their tails to survive, that only applies to our own people.

Her original plan was that as long as a few people still had a repentant heart, she would plead with Shao Chaogan to let them stay. Then she would make those people held hostage in Bian Jing disgust the empress and kill them with her help.

If the empress ordered Shao Chaogan to eliminate their clan, she would let Shao Bohou secretly protect the members of his clan and kill some of the pheasants to replace the clan members.

Isn't it just a matter of handing over a few heads? Anyway, this is Beifa, the emperor is far away and the sky is high. Even if the heads are brought before the empress, she will not find out that these heads are from a group of slaves.

This wasn't some major incident of treason, and the empress would only think that these clans had been destroyed.

All she could do was to continue looking for other nobles to serve as her spies, and then she would place her own people among them.

But now is also a good opportunity. Borrow the sword of Marquis Shao to kill these people, and then borrow the sword of the empress to kill those officials in the capital.

Her people can also be placed there, and she will be the one who benefits in the end.

Shaodian Sishui remained silent, looking at them with indifferent eyes, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.

In this quiet study, the knocking sounds seemed abrupt and rhythmic, overlapping with the heartbeats of several people.

She was waiting, waiting for the secret guards to check whether the names of the officials welcoming the bride at the post station included any members of these people's family.

Just now, when Shaodian Sishui was waiting for Shao Chaogan outside the warehouse, he ordered the secret guards to go to the post station quickly to check. It seems that he should be on the way now.

The kneeling people had no idea what Shaodian Sishui was thinking. Her hands kept tapping on the table, and her beats perfectly overlapped with their heartbeats, causing considerable intimidation to them.

Shao Chaogan lowered his head. His mind was clearer than ever before, but his heart was hanging in the air.

This matter can be big or small, and no matter how big or small it is difficult to get away with it unscathed.

To put it in a broader sense, Shao Chaogan can't even control her subordinates, so it would be better for her to abdicate the title of Marquis and let others take over.

To put it mildly, it is a crime of disrespecting the royal family. If the Sixth Prince really blames her, she will be punished.

In short, no matter which version is true, she could not escape physical pain.

Footsteps were soon heard outside. Shaodian Sishui's fingertips paused slightly. Here they come.

"Your subordinate greets His Highness the Sixth Prince."

The secret guard asked to see him outside the door.

Shaodian Sishui looked towards the door.

"Come in."

The secret guard, dressed as a guard, entered the hall, took a few steps forward and handed over the answers he had found out.

Shaodian Sishui took the paper from the secret guard and checked the records on it.

Until I saw it said Yang, Nong, and Lou were all there, and behind it was written their status and identity in the family.

These people have been in the wedding procession all along, and it must have been the Empress's order that they came to Beifa this time.

Although these few people have been arrested temporarily, those in the wedding procession cannot be dealt with for the time being. Even if they are dealt with, they will have to wait until we return to Beijing and use the Empress's hand to deal with them, so we cannot alert the enemy at the moment.

Shaodian Sishui's mouth curled up and a plan came to his mind.

Her face suddenly changed and she glared at Shao Chaogan.

"Come here, Shao Chaogan failed to control his subordinates and disturbed my highness. He shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."

After she finished speaking, she looked towards the secret guards below.

The secret guard also looked up at Shaodian Sishui.

Shaodian Sishui narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly shook his head at her.

"You will carry out the execution. She must be torn to pieces. I will make her remember this pain."

The secret guard was very smart and understood his master's intention instantly.

This is to prevent her from getting any internal injuries.

"Yes, I obey your order."

Shao Chaogan gritted his teeth, stood up and followed him out without saying a word.

She had expected this situation to happen and did not choose to beg for mercy.

Shao Chaogan was executing an execution outside, but Shaodian Sishui looked at the three people in front of him with fierce eyes.

"You three took the initiative to follow me secretly and disturbed me. Although Shao Chaogan pleaded for you to accept the punishment, I think you are deceiving your superiors and subordinates. You are not worthy of being military officers, let alone the title of vanguard."

"The forward guard represents bravery and determination, and is the sharp blade of Beifa. Do you think you are worthy of it?"

Shaodian Sishui spoke in a low voice and looked at the few people with a dominating look.

Whenever a war comes, the first to bear the brunt are the vanguard guards. They not only represent themselves, but also the majesty of the generals before the war.

The vanguard guards are usually very low-key and always follow the general's orders.

Only on the battlefield where two countries are at war will the vanguard guards receive orders from the general. All sudden battle situations and matters on the battlefield will be handled by them on their own without the need to report.

But these few people completely tarnished the title of Vanguard Guard, making it a neither fish nor fowl, becoming a broken and blunt knife in the hands of the empress.

The empress really did everything she could to concentrate power.

He could have taken over the world with a sword, but he chose to use a kitchen knife to kill his own people.

As an empress, she has no sense of the overall situation and only fights for power and profit just to put the heroine in the position. She deserves to die!

"Come here, take their badges and take them away and give them thirty military sticks each as a warning to others."
