The scheming empress starts by conquering men

"I thought I could save Shao Jincong, but I was a step too late. Who would have thought that I would anger my Sixth Sister and fight with her in front of us. I ordered people to chop the provocateur in order to protect myself."

"She was a denizen, and was injured by me. I feel guilty about it."

"However, we later sent people to investigate and found out that her true identity was an assassin. I think she is dead now. Since the assassin is dead and has not caused any substantial harm to me, I hope the Queen Mother will not blame my Sixth Sister."

Shaodian Haolan was retreating in order to advance. Anyway, as long as she said that the person was not a denizen but an assassin, no one would find out the identity of that person.

After all, she had already sent people to the Deng family's house to kill them all.

"enough!"

Emperor Feng had a gloomy expression on his face and glared at Shaodian Haolan, his eyes full of disappointment.

She handed Shaodian Sishui's memorial to the chief eunuch, "Take it to the Grand Tutor and others to see, and then show it to the Second Princess."

This was the first time that Shaoding Ruixue called Shaoding Haolan the second princess in public. Before, no matter how angry she was, she would always call her Haolan or the second one.

This was the first time Shaodian Haolan heard such a blunt address, and her heart was beating wildly.

After Master Shi took the Shaodian Sishui and looked at it carefully, his face was filled with shock. He looked up at the Second Prince, then lowered his head, handed it to Kuang Ziyu without saying a word, and stepped back.

She never expected that things were not as the Second Prince said. It turned out that the man was not an assassin.

She was being used as a knife by the Second Prince and she didn't even realize it.

After reading it, although Kuang Ziyu knew the inside story to some extent, she did not expect that the Second Prince would deliberately kill people to silence them in order to confirm the identity of that person.

As a result, he failed to silence the witness and was rescued by the Sixth Princess. The whole family moved into the Sixth Princess's residence.

If this matter gets out of hand, some royalist censors will certainly attack the Second Prince.

She sighed and handed the memorial to the chief eunuch.

The chief eunuch took the memorial and handed it to Shaodian Haolan.

Shaodian Haolan looked at the expressions of Master Shi and Kuang Ziyu, and felt a little flustered. She quickly opened it and took a closer look. Before she finished reading, her expression suddenly changed.

Only after she finished reading it did she laugh out of anger and glared at Shaodian Sishui.

You are such a good young man!

Unexpectedly, there was a spy for Shaodian Sishui in her house.

Otherwise, how could Shaodian Sishui know that she had killed someone to silence him? She must have been told by a spy.

In fact, it was not the case. What Shaodian Haolan didn't know was that Shaodian Sishui didn't have any spies in the important places in her house. The reason why she was able to protect Dengren's family was also the result of Shaodian Sishui's own analysis after putting herself in their shoes.

If it were her, in order to clear herself of the mistake of accidentally killing the man, she would also kill the man's family and then find an assassin to pin the identity of the man on him.

In Shaodian Haolan's opinion, the man might have died, but there was no evidence to prove his mistake.

Not only can she clear herself of the charge of manslaughter, but she can also be branded as someone who is disrespectful and murderous to her elder sister.

This method is still too cruel, and it is undoubtedly the best way to have the best of both worlds.

After all, Shaodian Haolan didn't know that the man had been rescued, so he came up with this way of framing him.

Shaodian Sishui looked up at Shaodian Haolan, and the two stared at each other from a distance.

The former was calm and relaxed, with a faint smile and provocation on his face.

The latter glared and shouted, full of rage, his face was so stiff that he couldn't even maintain his usual gentleness, and his teeth were chattering.

So what if she escaped this disaster? She still has a backup plan.

Shaodian Haolan took out the memorial and bowed.

"Mother Empress, I have something to report to you."

Originally, this matter was going to be shelved, after all, there was no solid evidence, but she just couldn't stand seeing Shaodian Sishui's calm look. Since she was a child, this face of hers was what she hated the most.

It seemed as if nothing in the world could catch her eye, and no one could cause even a ripple in her heart.

It was as if other people were a joke in her eyes. Why?

She is the queen and the future king of the Great Zhou.

Why can she be so calm and composed? Why can she be protected by the Mother Empress?

This should all be hers, it's hers!

At the instruction of Emperor Feng, the Grand Eunuch once again took Shaodian Haolan's memorial.

After seeing the above content, a warm look flashed across Emperor Feng's eyes and he nodded secretly in his heart.

Yes, Hao Lan had a backup plan.

Although this back-up plan has loopholes, it just happens to be connected with what she ordered.

She pretended to be furious and slammed the phoenix chair hard with her big hand.

"How dare you! What a loyal and brave Zhong Aoyi!"

Shaodian Sishui raised his eyebrows and glanced at Emperor Feng.

Oh, has the incident of framing Zhong Aoyi finally happened?

God knows how long she had been waiting for this day.

She looked towards Shaoding Haolan and saw her staring at her arrogantly, as if in her eyes she had been thrown into the eighteenth level of hell and would never be able to turn over.

Shaodian Sishui remained calm and not panicked at all.

She was secretly happy in her heart. Fortunately, she had angered Shaodian Haolan, so that the ministers she arranged would not have to come out and mention the matter.

Hehe, let’s solve it together during today’s morning court session.

Shaodian Haolan looked at Shaodian Sishui, who still looked calm and composed, and sneered.

Good sixth sister, just wait, you will have the chance to cry soon.

After Emperor Feng vented his anger, he directly handed the memorial to the Grand Eunuch and asked her to show it to Prime Minister Yan Xiangru.

"Prime Minister Yan, as the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, do you know about this?"

Yan Xiangru didn't understand what was going on, so he sat in the first seat and opened the memorial to read it carefully.

When she lowered her head and finished reading, a gleam of light flashed across her eyes, and her expression was a little surprised and regretful.

She looked at Emperor Feng, then at the Second Princess, and hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I am unaware of this matter."

A chill ran from the soles of Yan Xiangru's feet to her limbs, making her shudder.

Although the memorial contained only a few words from the Second Princess, since Your Majesty is holding someone accountable, there must be concrete evidence. Otherwise, given Your Majesty's character, you would never investigate further.

I didn't expect that His Majesty would go so far as to frame Zhong Aoyi in order to pave the way for the Second Princess. Just to seize Zhong Aoyi's real power, he charged Zhong with treason and collusion with the enemy.

What a pity. She knew Zhong Aoyi very well. He was loyal and brave, loyal to the emperor and loved the people. He was a truly loyal minister and general.

It’s a pity that her son married the Sixth Princess who was not liked by His Majesty.

In order to dethrone the Sixth Princess, he actually let Zhong be buried with her.

"The Minister of Yan didn't know?"

Emperor Feng chuckled and looked at Shaodian Sishui.

"Sixth Brother, do you know that Lord Zhong has colluded with Qu Shou and committed treason?"

As Emperor Feng finished speaking, Wen Zhong, who was snoring in his sleep, suddenly woke up. He coughed, opened his eyes, looked at Emperor Feng with clear eyes, and then looked at the second princess.

He blinked slightly and thought a lot in his mind.

Emperor Feng glanced at Wen Zhong's actions, then pretended not to see anything and withdrew his gaze, which then fell on Shaodian Sishui again.

Shaodian Sishui was suddenly startled and knelt down quickly, looking confused.

"Mother Queen, how is this possible? Marquis Zhong is a loyal minister and general of the Great Zhou. How could he collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"

Emperor Feng said "Oh"; "Really?" She looked at Prime Minister Yan.

"Prime Minister, you are old and your health is not as good as before. Don't kneel down all the time. Stand up and take a seat, and show the memorial to the Sixth Elder."

The prime minister stood up and handed the memorial to Shaodian Sishui, then turned around and sat back in his seat.

My heart was pounding as I analyzed what His Majesty had said.

'You are old, and your health is not as good as before.'

Your Majesty, are you ordering her to retire and return home?

But how could His Majesty really agree to her retiring and returning home? According to His Majesty's style, the day she retires and returns home will be the day she dies!

In an instant, Yan Xiangru seemed to have aged more than ten years.

Shaodian Ziqing frowned, feeling that the atmosphere in the court today was weird.

Even though Shaodian Sheyu was stupid, he could sense that his second sister was targeting his sixth sister.

She said, "Second sister, why do you keep targeting Sixth sister? I don't understand. Did Sixth sister abandon your ancestral grave or insult your husband? Why do you keep targeting Sixth sister?"
