Chapter 175 The Fifth Princess's Downfall? Si Niang's Revenge
He Zhaojun blushed with embarrassment: "We haven't gotten married yet... Let me go."
"Yes, you keep reminding me that we're not married yet. It seems like it's my fault for keeping you waiting for so long," Wen Ziduan said, openly misinterpreting He Zhaojun. "When you return from Shouchun this time, we'll hold an engagement banquet. How about that?"
"Promise him! Promise him!" After Shao Shang and Ling Buyi finished talking, they jumped over to find He Zhaojun. They heard the two talking and were extremely happy.
Suddenly, her eyes were covered, and Ling Buyi's voice rang in her ears: "You can't watch this. Zhaojun said this kind of scene is not suitable for children."
Shao Shang quickly pushed Ling Buyi's hand away: "I'm going to marry you soon, why are you short of money?"
He Zhaojun couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she rashly agreed to Wen Ziduan's request and dragged Shaoshang with her as they ran towards the palace banquet. Only after Wen Ziduan and Ling Buyi were out of sight did He Zhaojun stop to catch her breath. "Shaoshang, how did General Ling react today?"
Shao Shang smiled, a bit shy on his face: "He said he naturally believed me."
"That's good, otherwise I would have made a big mistake." He Zhaojun patted her chest. Tonight, Shao Shang should go to Yue Fei's palace to set up a trap to teach the Fifth Princess a lesson.
Shao Shang was hesitating at this moment, wondering how to ask He Zhaojun for help. "Sister Zhaojun, I..."
He Zhaojun stopped her, "No need to explain, I understand. You're teaching me a lesson, huh? These five princesses have indeed gone too far today, and they're trying to implicate me too. You're so shameless as to say they're defiling the imperial palace."
The two exchanged glances, and a plan came to mind. He Zhaojun opened the palace gate at night, and Shaoshang came in carrying something. He pulled off his cloak, revealing two large, dark eyes. "Sister Zhaojun, let's begin."
He Zhaojun looked into the bucket and saw a bucket of sewage. The stench was so nauseating that she quickly covered her nose and said, "It stinks! Where did you get this? It must have been here for days."
Shao Shang was very proud and took off the cane from behind He Zhaojun. "That's right. When I was scraping the ash from the bottom of the pot, I asked the chef to save it for me. I even put it in the sun for half a day. It's bubbling now. It's definitely enough for them to drink a pot of wine."
Are you trying to make Pearl Jade Soup? And you're deliberately letting the slops go bad before using them? Meeting Cheng Si Niang like this, the Fifth Princess had definitely hit a wall.
"Let's get started! Cover it up first." He Zhaojun's nose and eyes wrinkled from the smoke. It took a lot of effort to finally set up the manure bucket. The two of them looked at the mechanism, contentedly awaiting tomorrow.

The second day.
Emperor Wen stayed with the empress for a night, comforting her not to worry about the birthday banquet. Just then, He Zhaojun and Shao Shang came over to deliver breakfast to the empress.
"You two have been working really hard preparing for the birthday banquet recently. Go home and stay for a few days to prevent your father and brother from missing you." The queen was in poor health and could barely say a few words.
"Cheng Shaoshang! He Zhaojun! I will kill you!" The fifth princess, looking disheveled and smelling bad, started shouting when she arrived at Changqiu Palace, kneeling in front of Emperor Wen and crying.
Emperor Wen hurriedly took two steps back, hoping to avoid soiling his court robes. "Wu Niang, what are you doing... why are you doing this?"
"Just as I was about to leave the palace, I found the door locked. As I tried to open it, I was splashed with slop! Then there were canes and pot ash. My clothes were torn!"
"...Father, it's all Cheng Shaoshang who has harmed me to this point. She's just trying to get revenge on me! And this He Zhaojun is definitely an accomplice!"
Shao Shang stepped forward and said, "May I ask, Fifth Princess, why do Zhaojun and I want to take revenge on you?"
