Chapter 200: Game within a game?
The first Grand Master was obviously relieved: "It was Princess Changxing. She asked us to tie you up and send you to Tianquan Villa!"
Bai Zhaozhao thought about it and realized that indeed, these two people did not use their killing moves at the beginning.
"Why do you want to go to Tianquan Villa?"
"The eldest prince is holding a banquet there today, and Concubine Ning wants to choose a wife for him, so there are a lot of noble ladies going. Princess Changxing wants you to embarrass yourself in public."
Bai Zhaozhao frowned: "Can't you just say it all at once?"
"Okay, let me tell you, we'll restrain you, break your legs, and send you to..."
"Send it to someone's bed and let a large number of people come to visit, right?"
"Yes! Princess Showa, I've told you everything. Can you let me go?"
"I'm curious about something else. Aren't you afraid that Princess Changxing will kill you if you fail?"
"Of course we're not afraid. We're not her subordinates. We just made a deal."
"Oh? What's the deal?"
“…This has nothing to do with you.”
"Nothing to do with it? You're using me as a bargain, and you say it has nothing to do with me? Tell me, what is the deal? It can't be some treasure, right?"
"No...it's one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Heh, she's quite rich! It's just money, there's nothing to hide!"
"You... I am a great Grandmaster, and for a piece of silver... you have lost your dignity!"
"Bah! Dignity? Do you think you won't lose your dignity if you don't tell anyone? Idiot! Get out of here!"
The grandmaster said nothing, slowly stood up and prepared to leave, but Bai Zhaozhao recovered some of his strength at this moment, and instantly used a fatal move, killing him instantly.
In the end, the man looked at Bai Zhaozhao with disbelief, as if he didn't understand why she broke her promise.
Of course, he didn't really trust Bai Zhaozhao, but he was also prepared to resist. However, he estimated that Bai Zhaozhao must be exhausted and most likely was unwilling to confront him head-on.
Who could have thought that Bai Zhaozhao would risk losing his strength again to kill him!
Just before his consciousness faded, he heard Bai Zhaozhao say, "You don't know, I heard that my chosen master loves to swear randomly. Since I have such a master's inheritance, of course I must abide by it! Don't you think so?"
Bullshit! Just like that, the man was completely dead.
Bai Zhaozhao propped himself up and came to the carriage, driving it towards Tianquan Villa. After all, there was still an accomplice who had not been dealt with!
Along the way, Bai Zhaozhao recalled information about the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was the eldest son of Emperor Yongkang. He got drunk and favored a palace maid who was close to the queen, who was pregnant with the prince at that time.
Just by coincidence, the palace maid also became pregnant, so she was named Concubine Ning. Soon she gave birth to the eldest prince prematurely. What was even more coincidental was that on the day the eldest prince was born, Emperor Yongkang ascended the throne.
The Queen Mother thought that this was God's will, so she conferred the title of concubine on Concubine Ning, allowing her to raise the eldest prince. Otherwise, she would have to find a foster mother with a high status for the eldest prince.
But this also shows that the eldest prince has no capable relatives and is not even qualified to fight for the throne!
It has to be said that the deeds of Concubine Ning were somewhat suspicious of cheating. She successfully became an invisible person in the harem and raised the eldest prince.
When the eldest prince was fifteen years old, the emperor chose the daughter of an ordinary official for him. The emperor thought that the mother and son were very sensible, so he allowed the eldest prince to get married early and leave the palace to set up his own house.
Then, the eldest prince also became an invisible man.
This time, the eldest prince was supposed to be chosen as his first wife, but in fact, he was chosen as his second wife, because his first wife left behind a daughter who died of illness. Putting aside other things, the eldest prince was not involved in fighting for the throne, and he still had the throne to inherit, so it was considered a good marriage.
An hour later, Bai Zhaozhao arrived at Tianquan Villa, and sure enough, it was very lively inside.
Bai Zhaozhao went into the space and changed into a beautiful dress, then came to the door openly. The guard at the door looked at her in shock and asked, "Princess Zhaohe? Didn't you already go in?"
Bai Zhaozhao said calmly: "What? Once you go in, you can't come out? Once you come out, you can't go in again?"
The guard didn't dare to say anything and could only invite Bai Zhaozhao in.
Bai Zhaozhao sneered inwardly. It seemed that Princess Changxing had even found a substitute for her. She must have sneaked in with her face covered just to let everyone know that she attended the banquet.
Then this substitute must have appeared very coolly for a while and then disappeared, just waiting for the two grand masters to send her over, so that they can perform a scene of looking for someone.
In a blink of an eye, Bai Zhaozhao arrived at the lotus pond, and opposite him were groups of noble ladies.
"Zhao Zhao! Why are you here?" A shocked voice appeared behind her.
She looked back and saw it was Jiang Yuanmeng!
However, Bai Zhaozhao reacted immediately and asked hurriedly: "Why do you ask that? Did something happen?"
Jiang Yuanmeng looked suspicious, and suddenly his face changed drastically: "Oh no! Is this a game within a game?"
Bai Zhaozhao was anxious: "What game within a game? Explain it clearly!"
Jiang Yuanmeng grabbed Bai Zhaozhao and walked to the other side of the deserted path, saying as he walked, "I was invited to the banquet, and Rouping said it was too boring, so she came with me. After we arrived, we heard that you were here too, so we thought about looking for you. After we found you, you were standing in the pavilion, looked at us and ran away! Then a maid told us that you caught a cold, so you covered your face and left in a hurry because you had to go to the toilet."
"and then?"
"Then another noble lady came to talk to us, and you didn't come back after we dealt with them. That's when I felt something was wrong! Then someone said that something might have happened to Princess Showa, and called on everyone to look for her together.
I told Rouping that something was not right about this matter. I'm afraid someone is targeting you. If you want to find someone, you have to report to Concubine Ning first and take the servants to look for her. How can you let all the noble ladies go together to look for her?
So Rouping told everyone that she would bring someone to look for you, and told everyone not to worry. Many noble ladies gave her this face and no longer paid attention to the matter. I stayed to see if there was anything unusual! "
"Then you saw me and realized that this was not a trap set against me, but might be a trap set against Rouping. Someone used me to lure Rouping to another place?"
"That's right! Let's go find Concubine Ning now!"
"no need!"
Jiang Yuanmeng stopped and looked at her intently, and suddenly asked in horror: "Are you saying that this might be a trap set by Concubine Ning?"
Bai Zhaozhao took a deep breath and said to the master of house fighting, "No, this is a trap set by Princess Changxing. She can't possibly team up with Concubine Ning, so she can only plot against her! So, you leave here immediately and leave the rest to me!"
Jiang Yuanmeng's face turned pale: "Do you doubt me?"
Bai Zhaozhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "What nonsense are you talking about! Use your brain to think carefully, why do I know that this is a trap set by Princess Changxing? I let you leave first because there is no need to involve you. It's good that you can tell me these things. What comes next is not something you can bear! Believe me, I can handle this matter!"
Jiang Yuanmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was so anxious just now that she lost her mind. Bai Zhaozhao should have a plan. He didn't let her participate because he wanted to protect her. That's right, if she can't help, at least don't be a burden.
So she said simply, "Okay, I'll leave right away!"
