Being a person is really difficult.
Unfortunately, Zhao Shu didn't care about her reputation at all. Besides, she had managed to clear her name after being infamous back then, so why would she be afraid of a mere princess who was nothing?
She sneered, "It's nothing, I'm going to rest now." She was still very curious about what Zhao Wanshi was up to.
"Yes, something's wrong." She hurriedly turned to look at Zhao Shu, but when she met Zhao Shu's all-seeing gaze, her confidence waned. "Sister A-Jun, I beg you to do me a favor."
Zhao Shu returned to the main seat and said slowly, "I never do good deeds for free."
"This matter concerns you." Zhao Wanshi panicked. She was no match for Zhao Shu at all. In front of Zhao Shu, her aura was exceptionally weak. After she finished speaking, afraid that Zhao Shu would interrupt her, she blurted out what she was saying in one breath, "I... I heard the Fourth Prince and the Eldest Prince say that they want the Eldest Prince to marry you."
Zhao Shu glanced at her and noticed that her cheeks were flushed and she was looking down shyly. She sighed and thought, "If all the descendants of the imperial family are like this, then Dayong will not last long!"
Receiving no response from Zhao Shu for a long time, she looked up, staring with bewildered eyes, and asked, "Do you want to marry him?"
"Don't judge others by your own standards. Do you think I'm as unambitious as you?" Zhao Shu was amused by her words.
Zhao Wanshi immediately retorted, "You'll become the Queen if you marry into that family, don't you want that?"
"I ask you, where did you hear them say that? One is the Fourth Prince, and the other is the Eldest Prince. How could you possibly get close to them?" Zhao Shu questioned mercilessly.
The sudden question startled Zhao Wanshi. She had also worked her way up in the inner quarters of the household and had never seen a woman who acted so arrogantly and directly!
She leaned back slightly and stammered, "I went to find my fourth brother, and the palace maids and eunuchs didn't dare to stop me."
Zhao Shu sneered after hearing this. It seemed that she was deliberately saying it to her. This foolish woman even came to her residence to find her. If she acted weak, she would probably suffer.
However, she knew that Zhao Bi and Tulev were colluding, but she was just struggling to find evidence and couldn't do anything to them openly. She glanced at Zhao Wanshi and asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears?"
"I didn't go into the palace." She didn't tell the truth because she was afraid that Zhao Shu would plot against her.
"Do you really want to be the queen of the Xiongnu?" Zhao Shu asked, her eyes darting around as she devised a plan.
I never realized Zhao Wanshi had such ambitions to become queen. I never expected that she would change so much in just a few years. Suddenly, a figure flashed through my mind: Zhao Wanyue was a member of Yide's faction. Could it be Zhao Wanshi?
Zhao Wanshi nodded, "Who wouldn't want to be the most honored woman, like the Empress Dowager?"
Having ambition is good, but being brainless is not. Zhao Shu said unhappily, "Can the Xiongnu Kingdom compare to Dayong? Can the Queen of the Xiongnu compare to the Empress Dowager? Don't get the wrong idea. However, since you want to go to the Xiongnu to be the Queen, we are of the same clan and family. If it is within my power, I will naturally help you."
