The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Shao Jincong angered the Sixth Prince and was punished by him to kneel in the snow. He fainted at that time and never woke up.

It was also heard that even the palace witch doctor had come, but Shao Jincong still hadn't woken up.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't need to care about Shao Jincong, but since he came back from the palace banquet last night, Shao Jincong came to him and said some personal words to him.

He sincerely accepted Shao Jincong, although he still felt a little sad and upset, but at least Shao Jincong really liked His Highness and wanted good for His Highness.

Thinking of this, Zhong Moyao whispered in Yan Le's ear, "Go and ask if Shao Jincong's illness has improved."

Yan Le obeyed the order, left quickly, and asked someone to inquire.

Not long after, Yan Le came back again, his face full of panic and shock, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong with you? If you have something to say, say it quickly!" Zhong Moyao was a little anxious.

Yan Le came back to his senses, and suddenly his nose felt sore as he said, "Servant Jun, Servant Zhong has passed away!"

Although he disliked Shao Jincong before and felt that he had stolen the prince's heart, now he suddenly no longer hated the man.

He had only been in Bian Jing for a few days when he was first thrown into prison, then forced to kneel, and now he is gone.

He never had a peaceful day.

"What?" Zhong Moyao's heart skipped a beat and he sank to the bottom of the valley. "How is it possible? How can a living person just...just..."

He stood up quickly and grabbed Yan Le's arm.

"What on earth is going on? What on earth happened? Shao Jincong was a healthy person, how could he just disappear like that? What on earth happened?"

Yan Le shook his head, also looking puzzled.

"I don't know, I just heard that Shao Shi has passed away."

"When did he die?"

"Tonight at midnight." Yan Le continued, "I heard that His Highness was furious and ordered all of Shao Jishi's personal servants to be executed and buried with him."

Zhong Moyao took a step back in shock, returned to the room in a panic, and took out a box of medicine from the box. Inside the box was a soul-restoring pill. This pill was given to him by the Sixth Prince, who also said that this soul-restoring pill could save lives at critical moments.

"Hurry, Yan Le, take this medicine and go save Shao Jincong, go!" Zhong Moyao handed the medicine to Yan Le; "Send the servants outside to go secretly, and don't let anyone get suspicious."

"This is the medicine His Highness gave you. His Highness also said that this is the only one left in the entire Bian Jing." Yan Le frowned and didn't want to take it.

The Sixth Prince sent someone to explain that someone wanted to harm their Lord's servant, so in order to avoid any crisis, this soul-restoring pill must be left to the Lord's servant.

But now you are using it to save Shao Jincong?

Although Shao Jincong is very pitiful, there is no need to use the soul-restoring pill for the dead Shao Jincong!

"Go!" Zhong Moyao shouted sternly. "Listen to me. If you have one soul-restoring pill, there will be a second one in the future. Besides, as long as I am careful, nothing will happen."

"If Shao Jincong is really dead, then the situation will only become precarious in the future!" Zhong Moyao stuffed the medicine into Yan Le's hand; "Yan Le, do you understand me? Shao Jincong can die, but not now."

He didn't feel sorry for Shao Jincong, but for His Highness.

According to Her Highness's plan, she certainly doesn't want Shao Jincong to die.

But now His Highness is furious and killed Shao Jincong's personal servant in front of him, which shows that Shao Jincong's death was not fake, but real.

If she really died, wouldn't the power of Marquis Shao fly away from His Highness's hands?

Why not save Shao Jincong if you can? It's just a soul-returning pill, so what's the harm in giving it to him?

Yan Le understood. "Yes, I will go right away."

He understood that his servant was doing this for the sake of His Highness.

Yan Le took the medicine and sneaked to the back wall, where he met a servant outside and asked her to secretly give the medicine to Shao Jincong.

The moment the servant outside the wall received the medicine, he looked around and a gleam of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

She lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, Master Yan Le. I will definitely serve Master Shao."

Yan Le hummed and watched the slave leave through the crack in the wall.

The slave quietly walked across the pavilion, took out the pill in his hand silently, and threw it into the lake when no one was around.

After she left, a secret guard walked out from the darkness, glanced at the lake, and frowned.

I wondered what that servant had secretly thrown into the lake.

Where is she going now?

The secret guard followed quietly until he saw the slave returned to his residence and did not come out for a long time.

She then scratched her head and thought to herself, maybe I guessed wrong.

There's nothing strange about that?

There was an open area outside the backyard of Qingzhu Courtyard, and the secret guards had nowhere to hide, so she did not get close, and she did not hear clearly what the servant said to Master Yan Le who was beside the servant.

Of course she didn't know that the servant had lost the medicine, but since it concerned the servant of Qingzhu Courtyard, she had to report to His Highness.

The secret guard retreated quietly and came to Su Shui Pavilion, where he happened to meet Lord Shao Ying leaving Su Shui Pavilion.

"Master Shaoying." The secret guard bowed and saluted.

Shaoying glanced at the secret guard and nodded.

The two of them brushed past each other, and Shaoying, who was about to leave Su Shui Pavilion, suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

"Wait, I remember you seemed to be protecting Jiayi from Qingzhu Courtyard, right? You protected the Six Gentlemen in the middle of the night, so why did you come to Sushui Pavilion? Could it be that the Six Gentlemen were in danger?"

Jia Shiyi said, "Your Excellency, it is not that Your Highness is in danger, but I was originally here to protect the six servants. Just now, a servant secretly traded something with Master Yan Le. The servant walked behind the waterside pavilion and threw the thing into the lake. I felt that something was fishy, ​​so I came to report it to Your Highness."

"Throwing things into the lake?"

Shaoying frowned slightly, blinked his eyes continuously, and pondered secretly in his heart.

What was thrown into the lake with so much thought?

"What about the servant?"

The secret guard said, "After she threw the things away, she went back to rest. She didn't move anything unusual. I felt something was wrong, so I came to report it to Your Highness."

Shaoying was also a little confused and hadn't figured it out.

What kind of thing has to be thrown all the way into the lake in the waterside pavilion?

I think that thing must be something that the Six Gentlemen Attendants don't want Your Highness to know.

Thinking of His Highness's feelings towards the Six Gentlemen, logically, both for public and private reasons, he should go back and tell His Highness that Zhong Moyao was acting strangely.

But the current situation is turbulent and His Highness has just fallen asleep. It would be inappropriate to disturb His Highness just because Zhong Moyao has traveled thousands of miles to deliver something.

He sighed and waved to Jia Shiyi. "Alright, you go back first. I will talk to His Highness about this matter. His Highness is just resting and must not be disturbed. You protect the six attendants in secret and don't worry about the rest."

A nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and keep an eye on it."

Looking at Jia Shiyi's leaving back, Shaoying sighed inexplicably: "Mr. Zhong, I hope you can treat His Highness sincerely."

Your Highness probably hasn't even realized that her feelings towards Zhong Moyao are so different from those of others.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I hope you can keep your original intention!"

Shaoying sighed and left quickly.
