The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong snorted coldly and stared at her.

"How dare you say that? It doesn't make sense to keep your own servant under house arrest in the backyard. If I hadn't come, how long would you have kept the Zhong family kid locked up?"

"Master!"

Shaodian Sishui was helpless, she also had her own difficulties.

Besides, it is taboo for elders to interfere in matters between wife and husband, as this will only escalate the conflicts between them.

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong glanced at the servants serving around him, then looked at Shaodian Sishui with a suggestive look in his eyes.

"You still remember that I am your master? Look at you, you have been doing nothing all day long. And you have taken all those men who were imprisoned in Hibiscus Pavilion in your backyard into your mansion. Can you at least give them some status?"

"Look at those people. You're driving them crazy. I just went in there to take a look, but they just hugged me and wouldn't let me go. They kept calling me Sixth Prince. I was so scared!"

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong behaves like a troublemaker, it's amazing.

Shaodian Sishui found it a little funny but didn't show it on her face.

"Master!" She said impatiently, and glared at the servants beside her with a fierce look. "All of you, go down."

Several of the slaves looked at each other, and after their eyes fell on Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong, they quickly lowered their heads and left.

After all the servants had left, Shaodian Si Shui's eyes fell on Jian Ping'an.

Jian Ping'an's intuition told her that the master seemed to have something to say, but she was too young to listen.

She stood up and bowed like a little adult. "My Lord, I still have homework to do. I will leave now."

Shaodian Sishui hummed, "Go ahead."

When there were only three people left in the room, Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong spoke.

"Those slaves are not yours, right?"

Although it is a question, it actually has an affirmative tone.

Shaodian Sishui hummed, "He was sent by Emperor Feng."

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong narrowed his eyes and sneered, "No wonder, the glutinous rice dumpling just now was secretly drugged by the servant named Ice Beauty."

"Ice beauty?"

Shaodian Sishui's face suddenly darkened. She was naturally familiar with this medicine name.

As the name suggests, anyone who uses this medicine will have better and better skin, becoming very moisturized and beautiful within seven days.

After seven days, the poisoned person will start to move abnormally and the body will gradually become stiff. On the tenth day, the poisoned person will become a stiff corpse, but the skin will be as fresh as a living person.

This is the Ice Beauty. This medicine can only be cured seven days in advance. Once the body starts to become stiff, there is no antidote.

And the person who can develop the antidote is the one who developed it. No one else can figure it out.

As for the person who developed this medicine, he was the young master of Panchi in Jiuqu Valley.

How is it related to the young valley master again?

Shaodian Sishui was overwhelmed.

But she thought of something and looked at her master with narrowed eyes, worry in her expression.

"Master, you just ate this poisonous glutinous rice cake, so you..."

"Don't worry." Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong laughed; "There is no poison in the world that I can't cure. This little poison can't bother me."

"Oh~~"

Shaodian Sishui drew out a long smile and looked at his cheap master meaningfully.

It turns out that the master is related to the young master of the pool in Jiuqu Valley.

Since the master didn't say anything, she would just pretend not to know.

Zhong Moyao didn't know what the two were talking about, but he could tell that someone had poisoned him.

He looked sullen, thinking that the servant who had just served him food was someone who had just entered the mansion not long ago.

Although he had checked before entering the mansion and found nothing suspicious about the identities of the slaves who had just entered the mansion, what was happening now made him think too much.

That servant, no, it should be said that those servants were deliberately placed in the mansion by someone with ulterior motives.

Maybe it was someone from another princess, or maybe it was that person.

He did not dare to think too deeply, and looked at Shaodian Sishui anxiously, asking for confirmation, "Your Highness, could it be that those slaves were spies deliberately sent in by someone with ulterior motives?"

"Well, you should be careful not to let them get close to you next time."

Shaodian Sishui had no intention of hiding it from him. It would always be a good idea to make him more alert.

"Yes, I have made note of it."

Zhong Moyao was filled with shock, and a little panic and worry in his heart, causing his palms to sweat.

"It's all my fault. I didn't investigate thoroughly before bringing in so many slaves."

If we kill without any reason now, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of those behind the scenes.

As long as those slaves stay in the mansion for one day, they will cause unspeakable harm to Your Highness.

Shaodian Sishui saw that he was a little flustered, reached out and grabbed his cold hand, and found that his palms were full of sweat.

She did not despise him, but took out a silk handkerchief, wiped his palms carefully, and wrapped his hands in her own to give him warmth.

"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."

Zhong Moyao was so moved that he almost cried, his eyes were filled with mist.

He was afraid that Grandma Changyou would laugh at him, so he lowered his head and took a deep breath, then quickly stood up and forced himself not to cry, as that would be inappropriate and would bring shame to His Highness.

"Your Highness, you must have something to say to Grandma Changyou. I will go check on the little wolf cub. It's time to feed him."

Shaodian Sishui hummed, "Go ahead. It's cold, so make sure you carry a hot dustpan with you."

Zhong Moyao nodded, stood up and left.

After Zhong Moyao left, a sense of hostility rose between Shaodian Sishui's brows, which could not be concealed no matter what.

She looked at her master. "Master, I went to see my mother's family when I passed by Liyang before returning from the wedding. Did my fourth uncle go to Gushu Village?"

"When she left, she was just about to leave. He found me with the map in your hand, and I knew it was you who arranged it."

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong sighed and looked towards the window in a puzzled manner, as if he was recalling some scenes or ancient people.

"After learning that she was from your father's maternal family, I took her in and kept her in Ancient Tree Village. The medical skills left there were enough for her to study for a long time. Although she likes medicine, she is still inferior to your cousin."

"Cousin?"

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong hummed, "It's the boy that Jian Wuwei brought. His name is Jian what?"

Shaodian Sishui thought deeply, his eyes sparkling, and blurted out, "Jian Shaoxing?"

"Oh yes, Jian Shaoxing, look at my memory, I am really old."

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong sighed and chuckled.

"He is much better at using poison than your fourth uncle. It is said that poison and medicine are inseparable. He is so good at using poison, so detoxification is no problem for him. I have also tested that child, and he is a good candidate for studying medicine."

Shaodian Sishui had been frowning, thinking about many things in his mind, and then he heard his master's serious question.

"By the way, after you entered the palace, I met the Great Witch, and she asked you, is the snow disaster in Nanyu true?"

Even the great sorcerer could not predict this matter. How did her daughter know about it in advance?

Even the location, time, and disaster situation were clearly stated in the secret letter.

It happened that she had nothing to do in the morning, so she went to meet Lianpeng secretly. Lianpeng told her that her good daughter had told her about the snow disaster in Nanyu.

"You said... after I entered the palace, you went to see the Great Wizard? How did you get into the palace, and why did the Great Wizard see you?"
