Jin Xiaotao thought that she would definitely succeed in her plan. She wanted that vulgar man to run to the palace and cause a ruckus.
The concubine of the Great Zhou Prince Yao was actually a child of an unknown birth. Rumors would have it that she was defeated.
Jin Xiaotao was unable to obtain any benefit from the matter that she had plotted, but seeing that Jin Xiaolou, who had left her far behind with such a haughty look, was in trouble, she was happier than if she had benefited.
Jin Xiaotao sat in the horse carriage proudly, but after a while, not only did she not hear the drum sound coming from the palace, she instead saw a group of guards bringing a man over to the horse carriage.
"Let's go!" "Hurry up and leave!" Jin Xiaotao's heart jumped. Although she did not know what happened, looking at the attitude of the guards, there must be something bad going on!
However, how could the coachman leave? The guards at the entrance of the palace weren't ordinary people. However, their valiant and valiant demeanor made one's legs go limp.
"Come down!" As the guards approached, one of them, whose face was especially pale, shouted out. With just a single shout, he scared the coachman so much that he fell to his knees, rolling and crawling on the ground.
The white-masked guard sized up the horse-driver and kicked him aside. Then, he reached out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage.
Jin Xiaotao took a deep breath, steadied her mind, and acted as if she was completely ignorant, she looked at the guards outside the carriage, blinked her eyes, and pretended to be calm and asked: "What, Master Guan, do you have something? I was just passing by, and the carriage was shaking, and I wanted to stop. "
Jin Xiaotao turned around and smiled: "If we stop at the wrong place, we'll leave now, we'll leave now!"
"Stop smiling, get off!" The guard knocked on the door, shocking Jin Xiaotao, causing the smile on his face to disappear. Instantly, the color of blood drained from his face, she staggered out of the carriage, and before she could muster the courage to ask, the white-faced guard had already arrived. You seem to be quite young, but you actually have quite the guts, huh? "
"What accusation?!" Jin Xiaotao was startled, "This person is definitely Jin Xiaolou's father, Jin Xiaolou's mother does not follow the path of a woman, she has an unruly nature, and before she even left the pavilion, she was already hanging out with this man. With a big stomach, she already gave birth to Jin Xiaolou, and when you go up to the Wellhead Village to ask, you will find out for sure, that there is no one in the village who does not know about this!"
Just as Jin Xiaotao finished speaking, she was slapped hard by the guard so hard that the corner of her mouth split open.
"He's still talking nonsense with his eyes closed. He's already admitted it, saying that you incited him to pretend to be the father of the Prince Yao's Concubine. As long as you can dirty his, you can promise to give his a hundred silver coins!" The white-masked guard made a gesture with his hand, causing two people to tie Jin Xiaotao up behind him, "What's more, is it possible for someone like you to casually say the name of the Prince Yao's Concubine?"
"Admit it?" "You actually admitted it?" Jin Xiaotao's veins stood out.
This man was indeed not Jin Xiaolou's father. Jin Xiaolou, the man who had no conscience and had snatched away Jin Xiaolou's mother's body, was now a man whose life was unknown. With his great Great Zhou, where would Jin Xiaotao find him in the near future?
She thought, anyway, the only person who knows that man, Jin Xiaolou's mother, is already dead. As long as we randomly find a man who's about the same and claim that she's Jin Xiaolou's father, who would be able to take out evidence to deny that she's Jin Xiaolou's father?
However, she had not expected that a mere guard would be able to scare him into admitting his mistakes before he had even entered the palace! It was truly a useless thing. Most of the men in this world were useless, as they had the same moral character as He Guangkun!
Jin Xiaotao was so angry that she lost his entire plan!
"It's not that I can't take it, it's that you want to frame that Prince Yao Concubine?! You're already a Empress! Once Prince Yao becomes the emperor, I will forcefully sue his wife. Am I not looking for a long life? " The man grumbled for a while before he rushed to the guard, "Sir, I haven't done anything wrong, but I've already exposed it myself. You can't condemn me for this! It's all her! This venomous woman wants to harm the empress! If you want to punish her, go after her!"
"Huang …" Empress? " Jin Xiaotao's legs went soft, if not for the two guards supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground, "She became the Queen …"
"Hahaha." Jin Xiaotao laughed loudly, "Is this a joke? How is it possible that a peasant girl, covered in mud, who crawled out of a field, has become the mother of a nation? "
When the White-Faced Guard heard this, his expression turned uglier and uglier. "This person says such outrageous words in front of the entire audience. He's going to drag us down and beat him to a pulp for fifty years!"
Jin Xiaotao's body became completely limp as she was dragged further and further away by the two guards.
After the white-masked guard saw the people leave, he chased away the carriage that had stopped in front of him. Then, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the palace. He still had to continue standing guard.
Beside him, a guard stuck his head out and asked, "Boss, aren't we going to beat the crap out of you? Should we inform the higher ups? "
"Who knows?" The White-Faced Guard's face hardened. "This kind of girl who doesn't know her place, if she dares to talk bad about the empress in front of the palace doors, she would die a light death. If she doesn't die, she wouldn't dare to say another word." This matter will pass just like this, our job is to take care of these small matters for the masters above, if we have to ask them about anything, given how big the Great Zhou is, will they be able to handle it? "
"Yes, yes." The little guard rolled his eyes, silently learning the rules of a palace job.
He Guangkun had pulled Jin Xiaotao back from the unmarked cemetery on the morning of the second day.
Jin Xiaotao was still breathing but was carried away by someone and thrown into the pile of dead bodies. He Guangkun read about the relationship between husband and wife and grinded his teeth as he carried her back.
Everyone was busy searching for a doctor to treat him, but when they heard that he had been thrown out of the palace gates, no one dared to treat him.
With no other choice, He Guangkun ran to the pharmacy and bought some medicine to personally treat Jin Xiaotao's injuries. After ten odd days, even though Jin Xiaotao's life was saved, she was paralyzed on the bed, from her waist down, he had lost all feeling.
When He Guangkun came into the room carrying the medicine, he saw Jin Xiaotao fiercely beating her own leg.
She hated him, she regretted him.
She hated Jin Xiaolou for having such great luck, yet she had risked her life to save herself. She regretted even more, regret that time when she was in Wellhead Village, why didn't she just push Jin Xiaolou down the pond?
Now that Jin Xiaolou had become the queen, she, Jin Xiaotao, was not even comparable to an ant. The ants still had a chance to crawl to Jin Xiaolou's feet, and she would never have a chance to do so again.
"I already told you that you wouldn't listen, and that you had to make things difficult for her. Now, you're in such a predicament." He Guangkun put down the medicine bowl and sighed, "This capital city shouldn't be a place for people like us to come to!"
He Guangkun missed the feeling of being embraced by those from the Xin Ning s back then. Ever since he had arrived in the capital, the originally obedient Jin Xiaotao had turned hostile faster than flipping a book and suppressed him everywhere.
"In a hurry, I will sell that shop and we will return to our home in Xin Ning." He Guangkun brought the medicine bowl in front of Jin Xiaotao. He didn't want to care about Jin Xiaotao, but in the end, his nature was good, if Jin Xiaotao was good, he really wanted to leave her after returning to the Xin Ning. Now that she only had half a life left, she could only lie on the bed everyday and rely on others to service her.
He would only treat it as raising an extra person in the Residence of He.
Jin Xiaotao did not dare to retort as she closed her eyes. She wished that this beating could kill her so that she could live in pain everyday.
On the second day after Zhao Yu was conferred the title of King Dingan, he left the capital and went to Huai Hai Island.
He had heard that the island was a good place, that it was spring and full of flowers, that every summer there were innumerable birds flying in from the sea, flapping their wings and landing on the bare rocks, and that he wanted to go to the countries of the four seas and see what he had never seen before.
Because Zhao Yu had left in a hurry, Zhao Yao basically did not prepare any sort of inauguration ceremony, and immediately assumed his position.
On the day that Zhao Yao ascended the throne, he was bestowed the title of Empress.
The voices of opposition in the court grew louder and louder, and Jin Xiaolou was not in the mood to stay in the palace. Recently, she was busy preparing a new education system and wanted to start a school under the direct control of the court.
In order to set up the academy, Jin Xiaolou brought Lv Yun and ran outside all day. Not only did she want to understand the economic capabilities of the citizens, she also wanted to study which courses were suitable for the current Great Zhou.
Since ancient times, where in the world would the Empress shamelessly stay in the palace and instead show themselves on the streets?
If word of this got out, it would just make people laugh their teeth off.
All of the officials present in the hall started to speak highly of Jin Xiaolou, as she was not a virtuous person, and did not have the chance to take the throne. They begged the Emperor to abolish the position of Empress, and the lightly hinted to the Emperor that the Emperor should accept many concubines, and choose a good man as his backer.
