Chapter 883: How Is That Impossible?

Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sixth Young Master Han’s meticulous scheme against Princess Shaoyi did not achieve the desired effect. He couldn’t help but feel ashamed and resentful. “Look at what you’ve done. Madam Zhang is so incompetent. She was fooled by Princess Shaoyi’s 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 army…”

He Zhixian was so scolded that he couldn’t 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 Zhang’s 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 man’s carpentry skills to survive.

She could only barely make ends meet.

He had secretly plotted for Madam Zhang’s husband to fall into the water. When Madam Zhang’s 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 Zhang’s 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t even find the medicinal dregs. Madam Zhang couldn’t ask for help and was instigated by someone. That was why she had the intention to stop Princess Shaoyi’s carriage and plead for her husband.

Everything was logical.

He Zhixian was unwilling to be scolded and couldn’t help but defend himself. “The commoners haven’t seen the world. Not everyone has the guts to stop a noble’s carriage with just a few words. Madam Zhang was at her wits’ end, so she was instigated. It’s not good to be too obvious.”

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 Shaoyi’s carriage tightly. Even the commoners had to retreat when they saw this formation. Who would dare to stop the Princess’s carriage?

Weren’t 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 didn’t work out, he pushed the responsibility to He Zhixian.

“Princess Shaoyi has grown up in the capital since she was young and has seen the world. She’s not easy to fool. I originally considered that although Madam Zhang’s ex-husband joined the army, he died in battle before the Di people invaded the North wantonly. It wouldn’t have involved King Li of Zhou’s death. Who knew…”

Meanwhile, Princess Shaoyi made a big deal out of it and implicated King Li of Zhou’s death. It was simply shocking.

Sixth Young Master Han’s face was ashen. “Princess Shaoyi implicated Madam Zhang’s case in public. The You army will definitely interfere. Huang Wenxian isn’t someone who’s easy to fool. They will definitely investigate the cause of Madam Zhang’s husband’s death thoroughly. Are you sure you didn’t leave any evidence behind?”

He Zhixian hurriedly said, “Sixth Young Master, don’t worry. I’ve arranged the cause of Madam Zhang’s husband’s death flawlessly. I guarantee that it won’t 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 government’s investigation. There’s only a limited number of vassal lords who can interfere. This case will be tried by me. I don’t believe that Huang Wenxian can trace it back to me.”

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, “In my opinion, Sixth Young Master’s plan today wasn’t completely a mistake.”

Sixth Young Master Han’s gaze flickered. “Oh? Tell me.”

He Zhixian took a step forward. “Sixth Young Master’s goal was originally just to accuse Princess Shaoyi of interfering in the court and causing chaos in the country. Madam Zhang publicly stopped Princess Shaoyi’s carriage and cried out for justice on the streets. This is obvious to everyone. When the time comes, we just have to spread some rumors…”

Sixth Young Master Han came to a realization. “Rumors spread like wildfire… The more they spread, the more unrecognizable they will be. At that time, we’ll release some more rumors about Princess Shaoyi not knowing her limits. It’ll cause speculation and suspicion, and it’ll extend to etiquette. It’ll 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.”

He Zhixian chuckled. “Sixth Young Master, you’re right.”

“You’re really something. No wonder the clan thinks so highly of Lord He. Lord He has a limitless future.” Sixth Young Master Han laughed and patted He Zhixian’s shoulder. “You let Princess Shaoyi dodge the bullet this time. It won’t be so easy next time.”

After resolving his worries, Sixth Young Master Han felt relieved.

He Zhixian suggested, “Sixth Young Master has been in Xiangping for so long. I think you’re bored. Why don’t I arrange some fun and let you relax?”

His smile was a wretchedness that only men understood. “The 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 clothes…”

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 He’s 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. “Come in.”

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, “Lord, bad news. Princess Shaoyi has brought a group of hooligans we’ve 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.”

He Zhixian was stunned and suddenly raised his voice. “What did you say just now? Say it again.”

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. “This b*tch. I’ve really underestimated her.”

In the next moment, He Zhixian was shocked. He swallowed and subconsciously asked, “How 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 he…”
