The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong looked at his daughter strangely, sighed secretly, and had already decided to tell her everything.

"If this is really the Jiuqu Valley Pond, what do you want to do? Don't forget that the Jiuqu Valley Pond does not allow outsiders to enter the island. There must be a trap there."

Shaodian Sishui sighed and nodded in agreement.

"So, this is the trouble I just mentioned."

"If this is just a deserted island, there may still be a glimmer of hope. But if this is really the pond beside the Jiuqu Valley, then the owner of the valley must be a person with a strange personality, and there must be a trap on the island."

She raised her head and glanced at her master, her eyes gleaming with brilliance and determination.

"Master, whether this is the pond beside Jiuqu Valley or not, if you want the people of Nanyu to survive."

She lowered her head to look at the island and pointed heavily at it with her fingertips.

"We must let the people move here. This place is much closer than Xichui."

She slid her fingertips to the eastern sea area and explained it in detail.

"The tsunami came ashore on the east side of Nanyu, and then there was an earthquake, and the sea water moved all the way northward and submerged the entire Nanyu."

She pointed to the unmarked island again.

"This place is located in the northwest and very close to Nanyu. If fishermen come here by boat, it only takes a few days to arrive, which saves money and food."

She looked up at her master, a gleam in her eyes, and smiled.

"Master, I want you to go to this island to investigate. If it is suitable for human habitation, the only way now is to let the people of Nanyu move to this island."

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong took a deep breath. How could this be possible?

If the people of Nanyu were allowed to go to this island, then the pool beside Jiuqu Valley would be included in the world, which was something she did not want to see.

The whole world belongs to the king. If that man goes crazy and attacks Jiuqu, it will be a disaster.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong was somewhat reluctant.

"Let's go to another place, this place won't work."

Shaodian Sishui looked at her master in surprise. Her master always agreed with what she said, so why was she objecting now?

She stared at her master in confusion, then looked down at the place on the map.

There was a moment of doubt in my mind.

She said, "Master, you just taught me that the royal family should put the world first. People can carry a boat, but they can also overturn it. Are the lives of the people less important than the power struggle between me and others? You also said that life is determined by heaven and things are decided by man. What do you mean now?"

"Could it be..." She pointed at the isolated island on the map with a suspicious look on her face; "Have you been here before?"

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong opened his mouth and wanted to say that he had never been there.

Shaodian Sishui stared at her, exuding the majesty of a king.

"Master, I want to hear the truth."

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong let out a sigh, wanting to say something but stopping himself, feeling a little guilty when his daughter stared at him.

She looked away, scratched her head, and looked a little anxious.

"Why do you have to be so smart? How can I live?"

She closed her eyes, sighed, and seemed to have made up her mind.

"Well, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you. This is the pond beside the Jiuqu Valley. I am the master of the valley."

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, but Shaodian Sishui was somewhat shocked.

"Ah? You are... the Valley Master?"

No matter how hard she tried, she would never have imagined that the cheap master in front of her was actually the legendary Valley Master. How amazing!

What kind of luck is this that she can even become the disciple of the Valley Master of Panchi in Jiuqu Valley.

"That's not important. I just want to tell you that the reason why Emperor Feng is afraid of the Jiuqu Valley Pool is because it has not entered the world. If you ask Emperor Feng to issue an order to let the people of Nanyu move there, won't it be exposed?"

"From now on, what trump card will your teacher have to support you in holding that position?"

Shaodian Sishui exhaled and chuckled, "So Master is really worried about this."

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong snorted in dissatisfaction, what do you think?

If that wasn't her territory, she would definitely agree with it.

"Just don't tell Emperor Feng." Shaodian Sishui said.

"If you don't tell her, how can you make the people of Nanyu willingly move to a new house?"

"Who said that moving to a new place must be approved by Emperor Feng?" Shaodian Sishui was speechless, revealing an expression that everything was under control; "I said, I will never let Emperor Feng know about the natural disaster in Nanyu, and I will definitely not let Shaodian Haolan's reputation be damaged."

"If I tell Emperor Feng, wouldn't that be making things easier for others?"

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong looked at her suspiciously.

"Do you have a way to relocate the victims and destroy Emperor Feng's reputation without him knowing?"

"Well, of course." Shaodian Sishui chuckled; "But this matter still requires Master's secret help."

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong sighed; "Tell me how I can help you."

Shaodian Sishui approached her and told her her plan in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

After hearing her words, Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong was stunned, staring at her as if she were a monster.

"How do you know that there will be a colorful rainbow bridge on the beach of Nanyu?"

Of course, as the book says, there was a period of calm after the snowstorm, and a month before the earthquake and tsunami, a rainbow bridge appeared on the Nanyu coastline.

Shaodian Sishui chuckled; "Divination."

Divination again?

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong looked at her with increasingly strange eyes.

How could she have given birth to such a smart and genius daughter? The method seemed simple, but if she didn't tell it, it would be hard for ordinary people to figure it out.

"Your idea is good. I will go to Nanyu in person right now. Don't worry, I am here with you. Wait for my good news."

Shaodian Sishui: "Of course I believe in Master."

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and reminded her again.

"Remember, you are not allowed to leave the capital until your senior brother comes back. Remember?"

Shaodian Sishui nodded and promised solemnly.

"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely not leave the capital."

She had a lot of things to do and had no time to leave the city for the time being. Even if someone called her, she would not go.

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong nodded and left quickly.

Thanks to the grain delivery by Shaodian Sishui and Shaodian Haolan, the capital city seemed to have regained its former prosperity. However, in fact, the grain price in Bianjing only went up, and the people still could not afford to buy food.

However, the princess' husband still sent them food, so they had one meal a day, and it was good enough that they didn't starve to death.

It snowed heavily for four consecutive days. Finally, on the second day of the grand court meeting, the snow stopped and the sky cleared up.

The next day, Shaodian Sishui took some time out and sent a few of the servants imprisoned in the backyard to the brothel to be prostitutes, and gave the rest money to Zhong Moyao to send them away.

In the entire backyard, apart from Zhong Moyao, the only person left was the 'dead' Shao Jincong.

Since the grand court meeting, Emperor Feng's health has been getting worse day by day. Shaodian Haolan, Shaodian Sheyu and Shaodian Ziqing took turns to take care of him, but Shaodian Sishui did not go.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but she had been standing at the palace gate waiting for a long time. Emperor Feng didn't want to see her, and she just happened to be happy to have some free time.

After all, in this dynasty, court officials did not attend court every morning, but once every ten days, or only three times a month.

Unless the memorials submitted were urgent reports from the border, all other memorials would be reviewed by the Three Dukes before being sent down.

Shaodian Sishui had nothing to do and felt that if he continued like this, he would soon grow hair.

So she came up with a good way to make money quickly.

Playing tossing pots, kicking shuttlecocks, playing go and checkers with Zhong Moyao in the yard.

There are definitely stakes involved, you can win money and build relationships, it’s the best of both worlds.

This time it’s tossing pots again.

"Stop playing!"

Zhong Moyao snorted, sat back on the recliner in a bad mood, and glanced at Shaodian Sishui with a resentful look.

"Weren't you having fun before?"

I really don't understand why he suddenly got angry for no reason.

"That was before!"

"You can't afford to play this?" Shaodian Sishui joked with a smile.

"what!"

Zhong Moyao rolled his eyes and became even angrier, his tone becoming sarcastic.

"Your Highness, you really have the nerve to say that. Your Highness always wins. What's the fun in playing?"

They don't know how to give in to each other. If he loses, he will give gold, and if she wins, she will reward him with a promise or a kiss.

At first I thought she was deliberately trying to make him promise or give him a kiss, but who would have thought that she never won once.
