Chapter 437 It’s true
After all, in this world, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Suddenly, a woman smiled obscenely and said, "The Ma family, I remember their second son was quite fair. I had been planning to have the Ma family sacrifice him this time."
It’s just a pity that the Ma family took action first.
Hearing her say this, several people around her also shook their heads regretfully.
After sitting for a while, the women got up and left, returning to their respective homes.
After Zhaomei and Panmei arrived in Jiangcheng, they went to look for the trap that Gu Qingyuan mentioned.
But Jiangcheng is not small at all, and since it is a trap, it must be very secretive and cannot be seen at a glance.
But who are they?
Strictly speaking, they are not human.
Moreover, animals have a keen sense of danger. They wear wolf skins and move through the woods, hiding their bodies in the bushes.
Suddenly, when they arrived at a place, they both felt a little uneasy.
Zhaomei was the first to stop. Panmei noticed something was wrong and asked him in a low voice, "Brother, is it nearby?"
Zhaomei nodded and looked towards the center of the flat road.
Although that area looks no different from the surrounding areas, a closer look reveals that it is slightly higher than the surrounding areas, and people may just think of it as a slope.
After confirming that they were the only two people here, Zhaomei walked forward and started digging the ground with her claws.
Panmei hurried over to help.
But the two men did not dig up the entire area. After digging up a part of it, they saw that the bottom was empty and there was a poisonous snake with its tongue spitting out in the hole.
The hole was not shallow, and even someone with martial arts skills would have to work hard to get out after falling in.
But if someone is injured and has no strength, it would probably be the end of him.
The two men covered the dirt again with lingering fear, saying angrily, "So what Young Master Sister said was true! That Sixth Princess really wants to kill Young Master Sister!"
This place is the only way to Jiangcheng. If the Sixth Princess sends people to ambush the Young Master's sister on the road, and the Young Master's sister gets injured and falls into this trap, she will be in great danger!
Without any hesitation, the two of them immediately rushed back to report the matter to Gu Qingyuan.
......
Before Zhaomei and Panmei had time to return home, the Sixth Princess had already urged Gu Qingyuan to set off quickly.
She looked worried and said, "I received news from Jiangcheng that people are eating people there. I am really worried, so I ask Young Master Gu to bring people there quickly."
The Sixth Princess's expression of concern for the people drew praise from the surrounding palace servants, who commented, "The Sixth Princess has done many good deeds for the people before. Now, knowing that Jiangcheng is suffering from a drought, she urgently dispatched Young Master Gu. The Sixth Princess is truly kind!"
"Yeah, I heard the situation in Jiangcheng is pretty serious. It hasn't rained in over a year. I feel really bad for them."
The Sixth Princess listened to everyone's praise of her with satisfaction, looked at Gu Qingyuan, and urged her again.
But Gu Qingyuan stepped forward and said calmly, "Jiangcheng is suffering from a severe drought. Sixth Princess, please come with me. If you can cure the drought in Jiangcheng under your leadership, I'm sure His Majesty will look upon you with a new eye."
In fact, Gu Qingyuan had always seen it clearly.
Although the Sixth Princess now sits on the throne of the Crown Princess, the Queen always compares her with the former Crown Princess in her heart.
It’s just that there is no other candidate except the Sixth Princess now. If there were other princesses, the position of Crown Princess might not necessarily fall on her.
Hearing Gu Qingyuan's words, the Sixth Princess waved her hand and said, "There are still many things to do in the palace. Besides, I have to stay by my mother's side."
Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly and said, "But I heard that His Majesty often visits Yun Guijun and personally teaches the Eighth and Ninth Princesses."
The Sixth Princess's face turned green.
The twin daughters left by the former princess were raised under the name of Yun Guijun. She originally wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of them and not leave any future troubles for herself.
But because the queen mother was there, she couldn't take action against those two people, so she could only change her approach and take them out for fun so that they wouldn't pose a threat to her when they grew up.
In this way, after I ascend the throne, I can arbitrarily make them kings and send them to other places, never to return to the capital.
But for some reason, during this period of time, the Queen Mother would go to Yun Guijun every few days to visit the two children. Could it be that she discovered that the death of the former princess was related to herself?
No, that was all due to her greed. I was just adding fuel to the fire.
She was eager to prove that she was worthy of the position of Crown Princess, but her learning ability was not as strong as that of the previous Crown Princess, and her mother was somewhat disappointed in her.
"So, Sixth Princess, why don't you work with me to resolve this incident in Jiangcheng and make His Majesty look upon you with a new eye."
Gu Qingyuan is not stupid. Since she is so anxious to let him go, he might as well take her with him.
Although Zhaomei and Panmei have not returned yet, she has already guessed most of what has happened.
As expected, the Sixth Princess began to hesitate.
Gu Qingyuan struck while the iron was hot and said, "I have a plan to make it rain in Jiangcheng. If the Sixth Princess goes there with me, I can say that the rain came because of the Sixth Princess, the goddess of heaven. Wouldn't everyone be more convinced by you this way?"
When she said these words, she was close to the Sixth Princess and did not let anyone else hear.
The Sixth Princess asked, "How can I trust you to bring rain to Jiangcheng from now on?"
"I wonder if the Sixth Princess has heard of the method of burning mountains and forests to bring rain? Burning plants causes the moisture in the air to condense into raindrops. Then, we can do that."
"You know such knowledge?"
Gu Qingyuan smiled but said nothing.
The Sixth Princess was persuaded by her and decided to go to Jiangcheng with her.
We set off the next day.
That night, Zhaomei and Panmei came back.
After they returned to the Gu family, they urgently looked for Gu Qingyuan.
"Young Master Sister, we are back!"
Chunfen was puzzled when he saw Zhaomei and Panmei coming back with wolf skins. They had turned into human forms and each held a piece of wolf skin in their hands.
Before she could ask more questions, Gu Qingyuan let the two men in.
After seeing Gu Qingyuan, the two of them quickly said to her, "Young Master Sister, we checked and found that there is indeed a trap on the road to Jiangcheng. Moreover, there are poisonous snakes in the trap!"
Gu Qingyuan's eyes turned cold, it was indeed so!
Then she would let the Sixth Princess suffer the consequences of her own actions.
Suddenly, she caught sight of the wolf skin in their hands and asked them, "Where did this come from?"
Pan Mei complained first, "We encountered two wolves on the road, but luckily we had the weapons given to us by the Young Master, so we killed them. Honestly, the wolf meat tasted really average..."
