Chapter 883: How Is That Impossible?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sixth Young Master Hanâs meticulous scheme against Princess Shaoyi did not achieve the desired effect. He couldnât help but feel ashamed and resentful. âLook at what youâve done. Madam Zhang is so incompetent. She was fooled by Princess Shaoyiâs grace and power, and she was controlled. Have you forgotten how King Li of Zhou died back then? You even found a commoner to complain and got involved with the You armyâŠâ
He Zhixian was so scolded that he couldnât raise his head.
Liaodong was vast and sparsely populated. Women were made to work like men, while men were made to work like livestock. Widows without a husband could still survive. It was easy to find an ordinary poor person, but it was even more difficult to find someone who had the guts to complain to Princess Shaoyi.
He had asked around about Madam Zhangâs family situation. The two parents could not work and there were still many children in the family. Although Madam Zhang had a shrewish personality, she was not a capable person. The entire family was counting on a manâs carpentry skills to survive.
She could only barely make ends meet.
He had secretly plotted for Madam Zhangâs husband to fall into the water. When Madam Zhangâs husband caught a cold, she went to the medicinal shop under the Bai Residence to get the medicine. The medicinal shop arranged for their people to change the medicine that Madam Zhang had gotten in advance. After Madam Zhangâs husband took the medicine, the cold intensified day by day, and he passed away in less than two days.
Once the man in the family passed away, the days at home would not last.
Madam Zhang had found out by chance that there was a problem with the medicine her husband was taking. Among them, one of the medicines included ox bezoars, which were cooling and didnât treat colds, so she reported it to the county office.
After the county office verified that the prescription was correct, without evidence, the case naturally did not stand.
A few days after her husband died, she couldnât even find the medicinal dregs. Madam Zhang couldnât ask for help and was instigated by someone. That was why she had the intention to stop Princess Shaoyiâs carriage and plead for her husband.
Everything was logical.
He Zhixian was unwilling to be scolded and couldnât help but defend himself. âThe commoners havenât seen the world. Not everyone has the guts to stop a nobleâs carriage with just a few words. Madam Zhang was at her witsâ end, so she was instigated. Itâs not good to be too obvious.â
When Princess Shaoyi went to the Dragon Phoenix Temple, there were more than 300 guards accompanying her. All of them were elites of the You army and surrounded Princess Shaoyiâs carriage tightly. Even the commoners had to retreat when they saw this formation. Who would dare to stop the Princessâs carriage?
Werenât they afraid that the guards would treat them as a spy or an assassin and stab them on the spot?
Sixth Young Master Han opened his mouth.
Little did he know how much preparation and arrangements He Zhixian had made.
When things didnât work out, he pushed the responsibility to He Zhixian.
âPrincess Shaoyi has grown up in the capital since she was young and has seen the world. Sheâs not easy to fool. I originally considered that although Madam Zhangâs ex-husband joined the army, he died in battle before the Di people invaded the North wantonly. It wouldnât have involved King Li of Zhouâs death. Who knewâŠâ
Meanwhile, Princess Shaoyi made a big deal out of it and implicated King Li of Zhouâs death. It was simply shocking.
Sixth Young Master Hanâs face was ashen. âPrincess Shaoyi implicated Madam Zhangâs case in public. The You army will definitely interfere. Huang Wenxian isnât someone whoâs easy to fool. They will definitely investigate the cause of Madam Zhangâs husbandâs death thoroughly. Are you sure you didnât leave any evidence behind?â freewebn(o)vel.com
He Zhixian hurriedly said, âSixth Young Master, donât worry. Iâve arranged the cause of Madam Zhangâs husbandâs death flawlessly. I guarantee that it wonât be traced back to you. Military officials are not allowed to interfere in politics. Even if Huang Wenxian wants to interfere in this case, it will involve the governmentâs investigation. Thereâs only a limited number of vassal lords who can interfere. This case will be tried by me. I donât believe that Huang Wenxian can trace it back to me.â freew(e)bnovel.com
Sixth Young Master Han was much more relieved. He Zhixian was a hidden chess piece arranged by the Han family in Liaodong. Huang Wenxian would not have guessed that there was a problem with Hezhi County.
When He Zhixian saw Sixth Young Master Han, his expression softened a little. He quickly said, âIn my opinion, Sixth Young Masterâs plan today wasnât completely a mistake.â
Sixth Young Master Hanâs gaze flickered. âOh? Tell me.â
He Zhixian took a step forward. âSixth Young Masterâs goal was originally just to accuse Princess Shaoyi of interfering in the court and causing chaos in the country. Madam Zhang publicly stopped Princess Shaoyiâs carriage and cried out for justice on the streets. This is obvious to everyone. When the time comes, we just have to spread some rumorsâŠâ
Sixth Young Master Han came to a realization. âRumors spread like wildfire⊠The more they spread, the more unrecognizable they will be. At that time, weâll release some more rumors about Princess Shaoyi not knowing her limits. Itâll cause speculation and suspicion, and itâll extend to etiquette. Itâll point out that Princess Shaoyi is not worthy of the position. The Imperial Court will definitely report Princess Shaoyi. We can still achieve our goal.â
He Zhixian chuckled. âSixth Young Master, youâre right.â
âYouâre really something. No wonder the clan thinks so highly of Lord He. Lord He has a limitless future.â Sixth Young Master Han laughed and patted He Zhixianâs shoulder. âYou let Princess Shaoyi dodge the bullet this time. It wonât be so easy next time.â
After resolving his worries, Sixth Young Master Han felt relieved.
He Zhixian suggested, âSixth Young Master has been in Xiangping for so long. I think youâre bored. Why donât I arrange some fun and let you relax?â
His smile was a wretchedness that only men understood. âThe families of the offenders sent from the capital have been taught. When they are clothed, they are girls from good families. However, once they take off their clothesâŠâ
Sixth Young Master Han was from a noble family after all. Although he prided himself on being a playboy, he also cherished his reputation. Initially, he was a little unmoved, but when he heard Lord Heâs interesting words, he was a little interested.
Just as he was about to agree!
At this moment, there was an urgent knock on the door.
When He Zhixian heard this, he quickly cleared his throat and his expression changed. His square face looked dignified and upright, and he did not look wretched at all. âCome in.â
This person was a trusted servant sent by He Zhixian to keep a close eye on Princess Shaoyi.
The servant quickly walked up to He Zhixian and said anxiously, âLord, bad news. Princess Shaoyi has brought a group of hooligans weâve planted to the government office of the state capital to beat the drum and voice her grievances. She said that someone has deliberately used her reputation as a benevolent saint and the mouths of the commoners to frame her for being disloyal and unrighteous. Lord Ye has already accepted this case. This matter has already spread to Xiangping City.â
He Zhixian was stunned and suddenly raised his voice. âWhat did you say just now? Say it again.â
The servant was shocked and quickly repeated what he had just said.
This time, Sixth Young Master Han also heard it clearly. His expression immediately changed. âThis b*tch. Iâve really underestimated her.â
In the next moment, He Zhixian was shocked. He swallowed and subconsciously asked, âHow is that possible? Lord Ye has never interfered in the matters between the nobles and the You army. Back then, when the nobles of the North joined forces to frame King Li of Zhou, he was still uninvolved. How could heâŠâ
