Chapter 865: Chapter 865: Phoenix Dominates the Rivers and Mountains (7)
Hatred can lead people to the point of no return.
So can love.
The Empress, with her affection, sent her daughter into the grave.
“Xiao Zheng…”
Wen Wu was surprised, had she actually listened today?
Thinking about her recent changes…
Could it be because she discovered this matter, which led to such a drastic change?
“Xiao Zheng, as long as you understand.” Wen Wu felt sowhat relieved.
When he was young, he didn’t want to expose this facade, always thinking he could protect her.
But as they grew older…
It was too late; she no longer listened to him.
Chuzheng casually asked, “Why did she do this?”
Wen Wu’s gaze deepened slightly, “Our Wen Family has always been feared by the Empress.”
Wen Wu entering the palace was both a hostage and a pawn to maintain balance.
Sotis Wen Wu also wondered why he had to bear all this.
But he was a mber of the Wen Family.
He had to contribute to the Wen Family.
“We are born into this, and cannot avoid it.”
“Do you like the Empress?”
“Like?” Wen Wu looked at the flowers blooming brightly in the courtyard, “Xiao Zheng, from the mont I entered the palace, I was deprived of the right to like. Everything about will be buried within these high walls.”
This is the sorrow of this palace.
So co in for glory and wealth.
So co in for power and prospects.
But in the end, how many actually get their wishes fulfilled?
Wen Wu advised Chuzheng not to reveal anything in front of the Empress to avoid arousing her suspicion.
Chuzheng listened but said nothing.
After sending Wen Wu off, Chuzheng beckoned Mu Mian over, “Go find out sothing.”
To complete this task.
The Empress must be dethroned.
It’s ti for change!
–
Chuzheng not only taught the Pri Minister’s daughter a lesson but also caused the Empress to have so doubts about the Pri Minister.
This outco was beyond Ning Yao’s expectations.
It was also beyond the Pri Minister’s expectation.
His daughter ended up like that.
Not only did she not seek justice, but she also lost a city.
This Grand Imperial Princess is different from the previous reckless fool.
So much so that the Pri Minister did not dare to act rashly again.
And Chuzheng, who was suspected by several factions,
Was sitting in a wooden hut.
The hut was simple.
A bed, a table, two chairs.
One chair was already shattered.
On the remaining chair sat a woman.
Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her lips red without any rouge, her features exquisite, such looks were a bit too glamorous for won in the Matriarchal World.
But the faint coldness and heroic spirit between her brows did not make people feel there was anything wrong with her appearance.
The woman sat there casually, like an emperor erging into the world, exuding an innate nobility.
Chuzheng’s fingertips tapped on her knee, gently and rhythmically.
Under slightly drooping long lashes, her dark eyes were cold, like a still pond, without ripples.
A woman knelt on the ground, her face drained of color, looking at Chuzheng with horror.
“How did you find ?”
Chuzheng’s fingertips paused slightly, “Guess.”
I have the storyline, of course, I can find you.
If I couldn’t find you, how could I still be the boss?
The original host’s assassination attempt, the assassin has not been caught yet.
But with the storyline, Chuzheng could easily know who did it.
Since she would appear later to accuse the Wen Family.
The assassin spat a mouthful of blood, “What’s the point of finding ? I won’t tell you anything.”
The assassin attempted to bite her tongue and commit suicide.
The woman who was sitting on the chair suddenly appeared in front of her, grabbing her jaw and forcing her to open her mouth.
The woman stared coldly at her, “Did I say you could die?”
The assassin couldn’t move, her bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Chuzheng.
“I… I know nothing.”
Chuzheng pressed her hand, sinisterly saying, “You will know.”
–
Squeak—
“Your Highness.”
Mu Mian, who was guarding outside the wooden house, called out nervously.
She instinctively glanced into the house, the empty room, with no one there.
“Your, Your Highness, where are they?”
“Ran away.”
Mu Mian slightly opened her mouth.
Ran away?
How did they run away?
She was guarding outside, how co she didn’t hear a thing.
Chuzheng walked out of the wooden house, looking in one direction, she pinched her wrist and instructed Mu Mian, “Wait for here.”
“Your Highness, where are you going?”
Chuzheng was eager, “Catching a mouse.”
“???”
Chuzheng dealt with the people following her and casually returned to town with Mu Mian.
[Mainline task: Please spend 100 taels within eight hours.]
Chuzheng: “…”
She had already completed several tasks.
Still at 100 taels.
If it were the Bastard, it probably would have climbed to tens of thousands of taels by now.
Spending 100 taels was simply a small matter for Chuzheng.
This is truly a considerate system!
Chuzheng happily squandered her way back to the palace.
At the palace gate, she encountered Ning Yao, who was about to leave.
“Imperial Sister,” Ning Yao called her, still with the sa smile as before, “In a few days, we’ll go hunting at the hunting ground. Imperial Sister, are you interested?”
“No…”
Wait!
Hunting?
Who is the prey?
Chuzheng swallowed back her ‘no.’
“Yes, I am.”
Ning Yao: “Alright, when the ti cos, I’ll call for Imperial Sister.”
Ning Yao watched Chuzheng leave and asked the person behind him, “Where did she go?”
“The one who was following her hasn’t returned yet,” the person behind replied.
“Report to imdiately when they return.”
“Yes.”
–
“Your Highness, are you really going hunting?”
Mu Mian was nervously fretting.
“Can’t go?”
“Your Highness, have you forgotten? Last ti you almost…”
In the matriarchal nation, hunting was naturally sothing won played.
However, the original host only knew how to enjoy herself and was never proficient in hunting.
Mainly because the original host never took the ti to learn properly.
Every ti she wanted to learn sothing, Ning Yao would bring new playthings to distract her, making her particularly averse to learning.
Whenever Wen Wu supervised her studies, the original host would throw tantrums, and with the Empress backing her, Wen Wu could do nothing.
Last year, the original host went out with them and ended up making a big fool of herself.
“I’m not going to hunt,” Chuzheng said with an unclear aning.
“???”
Then what are you going for?!
There were still a few days before the hunt, and Chuzheng currently had sothing else to do.
To resolve the Wen Family being frad.
This matter began with the original host’s assassination.
The assassin was caught, and evidence related to the Wen Family was found on the assassin.
The assassin then accused the Wen Family.
Regardless of whether Her Majesty the Empress believed it, she would send people to search the Wen Family.
As expected, evidence hidden in the Wen Family would be found.
Now that the assassin was dealt with…
Only the evidence remained.
However, Chuzheng wasn’t completely sure about how much evidence there was or where it was placed.
After all, the original host was not at the scene during the search.
There was also the possibility that those conducting the search brought it in that day.
So this situation was not easy to break.
Unless she could bribe the entire Imperial Guard Army…
It wasn’t impossible.
Chuzheng looked at her own fist.
I can do it!
[Miss… I… I think… you could use money, what do you think?] Glory Number cautiously asked.
Chuzheng raised her fist, angrily asking, “You think my fists aren’t good enough?”
[No… No… I just think… we could use a more civilized approach…]
