After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 118 My Brother Died Unjustly

Zhongcui Palace.

Zhao Yao's face was gloomy, especially after she heard that Shangguan Chaolu was incompetent and didn't get the life-saving golden elixir from Zhao Ying, she cursed in her heart, "waste", and then said sadly: "I already knew that Sister Ying and I have a grudge, and it is impossible for her to give me the medicine."

"Sister Huai'an, don't be sad. People born in the Year of the Tiger will be blessed by heaven and will surely turn misfortune into fortune."

Seeing Shangguan Chaolu hesitating, Zhao Yao felt annoyed, but still asked patiently. She couldn't offend Shangguan Chaolu. If she offended her, where would she find such an obedient and brainless dog?

"Chaolu, do you have anything to say?"

Shangguan Chaolu felt warm in her heart, thinking that Sister Huai'an was really considerate, unlike that vixen Zhao Ying!

Shangguan Chaolu told Zhao Yao about Zhao Quan's affairs.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yao's expression suddenly darkened, and she stared at Shangguan Chaolu as if she wanted to eat her. Shangguan Chaolu was startled and asked in panic, "Sister Huai'an, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Yao turned her face away, obviously not wanting Shangguan Chaolu to see her emotions.

She lowered her voice and said perfunctorily, "I've remembered this matter. You go back first. When there is news, I will send someone to inform you."

"Oh...Okay then, Sister Huai'an, you take a rest first. I'll be leaving first."

Shangguan Chaolu thought that Sister Huai'an must be worried too much about Zhao Ziyin's affairs, which is why her face is so bad. She blamed herself and said, "I didn't finish Ziyin's affairs. If Sister can still use me in the future, I will definitely do my best!"

Zhao Yao didn't say anything, but nodded uneasily.

After Shangguan Chaolu left, Zhao Yao hurried to see Concubine Shu.

Drive all the maids out.

When Concubine Shu saw Zhao Yao's pale face, she was startled and thought that Zhao Ziyin was in bad condition again. She hurriedly asked, "What happened to Ziyin?"

Zhao Yao shook her head.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, "I thought Ziyin... Yao'er, you are also a person of this age, why are you still so reckless? You should be more stable."

Zhao Yao sighed impatiently, "Mother, regarding that incident back then... I asked you to find a reason to have father execute the entire family of Prince Jing, so why did you keep them alive?"

"Do you know that as long as there is one person alive, the matter will be exposed. If Shangguan Shu knew the truth, would he still be on my side? By then, all our plans will be ruined."

What Zhao Yao didn't say was that Shangguan Shu's heart had already leaned to who knows which side. If he knew that she had been lying to him from the beginning to the end, and that he had wrongly blamed that bitch Zhao Ying for so many years... She simply couldn't bear to think about it! !

When Concubine Shu heard about that incident, she lost her temper. She had not forgotten how much of a person she had lost that year. She begged Queen Hyomin and knocked her forehead until it was almost broken.

"How can it be that easy? Even if it is in decline, it is still a royal palace after all! And you are deep in the Xiongnu and don't know the details of the capital. Queen Xiaomin is watching there, how can I do it?"

Zhao Yao smashed a bottle in frustration. Concubine Shu advised, "Don't worry. The important thing is that Queen Xiaomin is dead, and that beast is also dead. Not many people know about this. For the sake of reputation and future prospects, Prince Jing's Mansion will not tell anyone."

Zhao Yao closed her eyes tightly, the scene of that day still seemed to echo in her mind, and the shame and panic in her heart seemed to be relived.

She counted the people involved that night...

Queen Hyomin is dead.

Zhao Yan...was beaten to death by Queen Hyomin afterwards.

Princess Jing...for Zhao Quan's sake, she dared not say it!

And there is the old Duke... This old man has always looked down on her, but he is deeply loved by the emperor, so if he says something, his father will definitely believe it.

Shangguan Shu believed it without a doubt!

No! He's too dangerous.

She cannot keep these fatal weaknesses. She has no way out. She cannot lose Shangguan Shu!

Zhao Yao bit her lip secretly.

She doesn't believe in fate, and she doesn't believe that Zhao Ying will always be lucky!

Zhao Yao stood up suddenly and left.

Behind him, Concubine Shu was confused, "Yao'er, where are you going?"

When Zhao Yao returned, Zhao Quan was called.

Looking at Zhao Quan's face, Zhao Yao's heart stagnated.

so similar.

It's so similar.

I heard that Zhao Quan and Zhao Yan are twins and look almost identical.

However, their personalities are completely different.

Zhao Yan is greedy, lustful and lazy, but Zhao Quan is famous for his handsome appearance, talent and virtue, and was once the dream lover of many noble ladies.

Back then, Zhao Quan and Zhao Yan served as guards in the palace together. Zhao Yan was able to enter the palace thanks to Zhao Quan.

Zhao Yao looked at the timid man below and smiled in her heart.

Is this the man Shangguan Chaolu used all means to snatch away?

It seems that the only thing that makes Zhao Quan better than Zhao Yan is that he is good at pretending!

The true colors are revealed after marriage!

"Are you Zhao Quan?"

"Your Highness... Princess, this humble servant... is Zhao Quan!"

Zhao Yao gently turned the ring on her finger and suddenly softened her tone, "Don't panic. We are related. Your wife and my sister are aunt and sister-in-law."

Zhao Quan kept his head down. Hearing this, he said in a trembling voice, "I... dare not seek marriage with the princess..."

"In fact, it doesn't matter whether we are close or not. What matters is..."

Zhao Quan suddenly looked up and glanced, as if waiting for her to continue.

"People should know how to be grateful and repay kindness!"

Zhao Quan kowtowed, "I hope Your Highness will give clear instructions!"

"Zhao Quan, I know you want the job of Salt Road. Actually, with your background, a small job of Salt Road is not that difficult."

"Ah!" Zhao Yao sighed, "I think your brother's affairs must have implicated you to some extent. In fact, it's also my sister's fault. She seduced your brother and ended up doing something wrong. After the incident, she wanted the Queen to cover it up for her. It's really hard for your family!"

Zhao Quan opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Zhao Yao looked ignorant and asked, "Don't you know?"

She shook her head and lamented.

Zhao Quan frowned, "Your Highness, are you saying that my brother died unjustly?"

"Whether he died unjustly or not, he is dead anyway, Zhao Quan," Zhao Yao stared at him solemnly, "If you want to avenge your brother, I can help you!"

Zhao Quan knew exactly what Zhao Yao meant. Revenge was just a cover. She wanted to use the job at the Salt Road to get him to do things for her!

There is indeed no free lunch in this world. Zhao Quan felt relieved and seemed to have made up his mind.

"I am willing to obey your Highness' orders!"

Zhao Yao smiled with satisfaction.
