Chapter 341 Zhao Hede 2
"The Queen Mother did this so that we sisters could enter the palace and gain favor, so that we could have an ear and eyes by the Emperor's side."
Zhao Hede knew that Fu Yao, also known as the Queen Mother Dingtao, had more than just this purpose. She also hoped that her two sisters could firmly grasp the emperor's heart so that her son or grandson could become the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future.
Because after the two sisters enter the palace, Fu Yao will give them a "beauty-preserving prescription", which is the famous Xiji Pills.
Once this medicine is taken, although it can make a person's appearance more beautiful, it will make women infertile. Moreover, if you take it for a long time, you cannot stop taking it. Once you stop taking it, dark spots will appear on your face.
Of course, none of this was a problem for Zhao Hede today. Not to mention the many recipes she'd collected during her time as empress, many of which could improve Xiji Pills. Just take the fertility-enhancing recipe she'd often used in previous worlds—it was a well-known, universally praised recipe.
"So, sister, think about it. The emperor is now in his prime. If he really punishes me because you and Prince Gong ran away, will the queen mother wait another ten years to train someone to replace us sisters?"
Zhao Hede pointed at the two of them. They were both rare beauties in the world, not to mention that they were nourished by the spiritual spring in this life, so their looks could be called unparalleled in the world. How could Fu Yao be willing to give up such a good seedling?
"Besides, the Queen Mother may not know that this was our doing. As long as my sister and Prince Gong run to Chang'an and hide, and wait until you are pregnant, let Prince Gong plead with the Queen Mother. Then, for the sake of her son and grandson, the Queen Mother will forgive you."
"Really?"
Zhao Hede smiled and nodded, but thought to herself, of course it’s fake, my silly sister.
By then, given Fu Yao's ruthlessness, she would definitely try every possible means to kill the mother and keep the child.
But there's no need to tell my sister this.
Zhao Hede leaned nonchalantly on the couch, watching her sister fall asleep sweetly with beautiful expectations for tomorrow, and she had already made up her mind.
Due to the rules, unless the characters in the plot reach their scheduled death time, the tasker must not take the initiative to act.
But there is a phrase called "killing with a borrowed knife" and another phrase called "going with the flow", which she likes very much and has always used very easily.
In this life, she, the naive and innocent elder sister, will happily fly together with her Royal Highness Prince Gong and be a free little swallow forever.
Touching Zhao Feiyan's beautiful face, Hede, who was only sixteen years old this year, smiled charmingly.
The next morning, the carriage that took them off arrived two quarters of an hour earlier than the time agreed upon by Prince Gong and Zhao Feiyan.
Zhao Feiyan and her sister looked at each other, and seeing her nod secretly, she finally felt less nervous.
The two of them got into the carriage obediently. Besides the coachman, there were only four palace servants accompanying them. They were traveling on a spacious official road, so it should have been safe.
However, when they were passing through a forest, a dozen young and strong men suddenly rushed out and easily subdued these palace maids.
Zhao Feiyan couldn't wait to rush out, but fortunately Hede was well prepared. He took out two handfuls of instant noodles, and she and her sister each took one and pretended to be frightened and put them in front of their faces to hide their expressions, so as to prevent her sister, who was not good enough at it, from being discovered by the palace people.
Then she heard the sound of horse hooves, and she tactfully hid behind the carriage. Sure enough, the next second, a pair of big hands lifted the bamboo curtain in front of the carriage, and Liu Kang's handsome face came into view.
Zhao Feiyan subconsciously called out, "Your Highness Prince Gong!"
"Fei Yan, I'm here to pick you up."
Prince Gong held out his hand and gazed at his lover affectionately. Zhao Feiyan could no longer restrain herself and held out her own hand, allowing him to pick her up by the waist.
Zhao Hede's acting skills quickly caught up: "Sister, are you going to leave me?"
"Sister, I'm sorry."
Although she knew it was an act, she thought that although she would have to hide from Prince Gong for a while in the future, she would eventually be able to live freely with her lover.
But for her own happiness, my younger sister had to live in the deep palace from then on.
Zhao Feiyan felt deeply guilty about this.
Zhao Hede was crying uncontrollably, and Prince Gong was moved by their deep sisterly love.
Fortunately, the masked burly man beside him was alert and stepped forward to push Zhao Hede in. The two of them quickly met eyes with each other, and the masked man nodded at her imperceptibly. Zhao Hede took the opportunity to reach out and stuff the things into him, then fell back into the car.
"Your Highness, we have to leave quickly, or it will be too late."
Prince Gong took one look at the other person and realized the urgency of the situation. He gritted his teeth and carried Feiyan onto the horse, then sat on it himself.
"Sister—sister—"
“Sister, sister!”
Zhao Hede rushed down from the carriage, not even bothering to put on her shoes. She chased the horse through the bushes for two steps, fell heavily to the ground, and was helped up by a palace maid who caught up with her.
"Sister, I hate you! I will never forgive you!"
The clever girl understood what her sister's escape meant, and her reaction was consistent with the palace people's guess. They surrounded her, both to protect her and to imprison her.
The leading palace maid was both angry and afraid. If he failed to accomplish his task, he would be dead in front of the Queen Mother.
The girl who was still crying quickly calmed down.
She brushed off her messy hair, dusted off the dust on her body, slowly exhaled, and said to the leading palace maid, "Aunt, I don't want to die. What about you?"
The palace maid was stunned and quickly replied, "Of course I don't want to, but today's incident..."
"What happened today is clearly the fault of His Royal Highness Prince Gong and my sister. There's no reason for me to bear the responsibility. Since she doesn't want to enter the palace and enjoy wealth and glory, then I will take her place."
"But, but this is different from what the Queen Mother agreed..."
"Aunt, are you planning to return the same way? If His Royal Highness Prince Gong runs away with my sister, not only will the Empress Dowager's plan fail, but we'll also offend Princess Yang'e. Since His Royal Highness Prince Gong is the Empress Dowager's son, he'll be fine. But do you think we can escape?"
Zhao Hede grasped the hand of the palace maid, her eyes filled with the desire to survive: "Aunt, the mistake has been made. Now we can only mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. At least we can complete the Queen Mother's mission. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
The palace maid struggled for a moment, but quickly made a decision. She quickly ordered someone to carefully help Zhao Hede back home. After a short rest, the group continued their journey to Chang'an.
