The scheming empress starts by conquering men

"Wow, wow, wow...poor me, my eldest daughter is still alive, my youngest daughter is still young, and my husband is eight months pregnant and can't resist, so we almost suffered this disaster."

"If the Sixth Princess hadn't arrived in time, I..."

Old Sui Niang was sniffing her nose, tears streaming down her face. There was some hatred in her eyes when she looked at Shao Dian Hao Lan. Although she didn't dare to show it openly, the hatred was there.

"Your Majesty, I am about to send off my son, Your Majesty! Please make the decision!"

Dong, dong, dong, kowtow continuously.

"How outrageous! This is nonsense. How could I do such a despicable thing?" Shaodian Haolan retorted.

Shaodian Sishui nodded; "Yes, I believe that my second sister will definitely not do such a thing."

Shaodian Haolan narrowed his eyes and looked at her, not understanding what tricks she was trying to play.

Then I heard what Shaodian Sishui said to Emperor Feng.

"Mother Empress, I don't think this was done by my second sister. After all, my second sister has always been kind-hearted. She wouldn't even dare to crush an ant to death, so how could she send someone to commit a murder?"

"These are three lives lost! It was definitely not done by my second sister."

"In my opinion, it must be Second Sister's subordinates who pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed and acted on their own. Master Shi and Lord Kuang were so eager to stand up for Second Sister. Could it be that they were behind this?"

Just a few simple words made Shaodian Haolan instantly understand that Shaodian Sishui was deliberately targeting her people and wanted to bring her down.

She should have been alert from the beginning when she met Yin Wenqi. She thought too simply of her.

Shaodian Haolan's figure shook, his expression turned gloomy, and he looked at Shaodian Sishui with poisonous eyes.

Looking at his own people who were ready to explain themselves below, Shaodian Haolan closed his eyes and shook his head silently.

It's no use. She can't protect the tutor. She can't.

Shaodian Sishui!!

Shaodian Haolan was furious and hated himself for being too friendly to her in the past. If he had known what would happen now, he should not have shown mercy to her.

The mother emperor reminded her when she was a child that the death of her father was related to Shaodian Sishui's father, so she made her a medicine man.

Later, she softened her heart and felt that the pain of the previous generation should not continue into this generation, so she showed mercy to her.

But she was ungrateful and even had ambitions that she shouldn't have.

When Emperor Feng saw Hao Lan closing her eyes and ignoring him, he knew what she was thinking.

She shouted angrily, "How can this be possible."

Her eyes fell on Master Shi and Kuang Ziyu, with an unclear expression on her face.

"Do you two have anything to say?"

Yu Weifeng was so frightened that he was trembling with sweat on his forehead.

Fortunately, fortunately she didn’t say too much, otherwise she would be the one taking the blame.

The two people named, Shi Taifu and Kuang Ziyu, stood up, with sad faces.

How could they, as smart as they are, not know your Majesty's mind?

Judging from the Second Prince's mood, someone will have to take the blame for him eventually, and the two of them are the best people to take the blame.

"My lord, plead guilty."

They both said in unison.

Master Shi asked everyone to kneel down.

"Everything was instigated by this old minister. The Second Prince and Lord Kuang were not aware of it. I hope Your Majesty will spare my family for the sake of my diligence and consideration for the Great Zhou. I am willing to die."

Shaodian Sishui sneered, "How can you, a mere tutor, command the guards in the palace of the imperial sister? It's really strange. The guards who killed the old woman have been captured by me, and there are still some alive. Why don't you confront them on the spot, tutor Shi?"

Shaodian Haolan stared at Shaodian Sishui with bloodshot eyes. If looks could kill, Shaodian Sishui would be tortured to death by her.

Kuang Ziyu sighed, lifted her skirt and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, those guards were borrowed from the Second Prince on the day of the Spring Festival Banquet. This matter was done after consultation between me and the Grand Tutor. It has nothing to do with the Second Prince. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Now Shaodian Sishui stopped talking and looked at the two of them with indifference.

Emperor Feng had a gloomy expression and glared at the two of them.

"You two are such bastards! How dare you put Hao Lan in such an unkind and unjust situation and make my daughter feel resentful."

"Come here, take away their jade butterflies, remove their official feathers, drag them away, and beat them to death with sticks!"

Emperor Feng paused and looked at Shaodian Haolan with cold eyes.

"Second brother, you go and supervise the execution."

Shaodian Haolan's chest was filled with rage and he had no place to vent it. He just felt a blockage in his heart.

She bowed her head and spoke each word with emphasis, "Your son, I obey your order."

She looked up with murderous intent in her eyes. She looked deeply at Shaodian Si Shui, then turned and walked out of the hall.

Taifu Shi and Kuang Ziyu, who were dragged by the guards, had dead looks on their faces. They didn't even dare to beg for mercy, for fear that Shaodian Si Shui would target them again. They were also afraid that their families would not be able to be saved.

It was snowing heavily. Shaodian Haolan was supervising outside the palace. Before the execution, she approached Taifu Shi and Kuang Ziyu, and a layer of mist covered her scarlet eyes.

"Master, Master Kuang, it is my inability to protect you."

"Your Highness, please do not speak nonsense. This matter was done by the two of us and has nothing to do with Your Highness." Master Shi's old face was full of death, and he whispered, "Your Highness, be careful that the wall may hear your words."

Shaodian Haolan clenched his hands so hard that they made a clattering sound, and gritted his teeth as he said, "You two can go with peace of mind. In the future, I will definitely not let Shaodian Sishui go, and I will definitely protect your people."

The two were so moved that they burst into tears, lying on the torture chair unable to get up, but still bowed to Shaodian Haolan.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Shaodian Haolan put her left hand on Shi Taifu's hand and her right hand on Kuang Ziyu's hand, holding them tightly.

"The time has come, execution."

As the chief eunuch's voice sounded behind him, Shaodian Haolan stood up tremblingly, let go of their hands reluctantly, and took a few steps back.

"Execution."

"Clap clap clap..."

As the sound of dull blows rang out, Master Shi and Kuang Ziyu began to scream and shout loudly.

He even cursed Shaodian Sishui for being bloodthirsty, cruel, and cold-hearted.

He also said that the reason they made mistakes was because of a deliberate plot by the Sixth Prince.

Until the end, the two of them stopped cursing, and even the sound of shouting disappeared.

The blood of the two people dyed the white snow red, adding a rich color to the white world.

Shaodian Haolan stood in the heavy snow, watching Master Shi and Kuang Ziyu die with hatred in his eyes, his hands clenched and trembling behind his back, veins bulging.

She lowered her voice, gnashing her teeth and speaking word by word: "Shaodian Sishui, I will remember today's vengeance. One day, I will kill you with my own hands to avenge the Grand Tutor!"

After the punishment was over, Master Shi and Kuang Ziyu were wrapped in cool mats and thrown back to their respective homes.

When Shaodian Haolan returned to report, he saw that the court was in complete silence and the officials were trembling with fear.

Old Lady Sui had already left the court, led by the guards and eunuchs.

She returned to her seat in confusion, but Shaoding Chun'e spoke.

"Mother Empress, my second sister has just returned. Let her judge the matter."

Shaodian Haolan looked at Shaodian Chun'e, but his gaze was towards Shaodian Sishui.

She judged what was right? What was she judging? What happened after she left?

Shaodian Chun'e saw Shaodian Haolan's suspicious look and said with a smile, "Second sister, you just went out to supervise the punishment, so you probably don't know that Sixth sister wants to promote a minor official under the Nine Ministers to be the head of the current Imperial College Doctorate. That person is from Nanyu, what's his name?"

She looked at Shaodian Sishui and pretended to ask.

Shaodian Sishui said, "Third sister, that man's name is Wu Xin."

"Oh, right~" Shao Dian Chun'e suddenly realized and nodded; "It sounds like a low-class name, but this person must have her own outstanding qualities, which is why she caught the eye of Sixth Sister, right?"

Shaodian Sishui lowered his head and said nothing.

Haha, Wu Xin is from Nanyu, and she does have her strengths. She is not as simple as she seems.

Wu Xin is her Shao Dian Chun'e's man, which is why she let the third brother's man take the position.

It was just one of her little tricks, just sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers.
