Chapter 812: Miscalculation!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Prince Huai, please wait!”

Seeing Zhou Zicheng step forward righteously, the masked men in black seemed to have seen their savior!

As expected, Prince Huai was simply a bloodthirsty monster!

Seeing Prince Huai, Zhou Zicheng narrowed his eyes and pretended to be puzzled. “Why did Prince Huai make such a big fuss? We didn’t do anything wrong, did we?”

He was about to succeed, and now Prince Huai had appeared out of nowhere.

Although he didn’t know how Prince Huai had managed to follow him here, it was no different from throwing an egg at a rock if this continued.

He had to think of a better way…

“You didn’t do anything wrong?” Prince Huai spoke coldly, his voice low and deep. “If kidnapping the late emperor’s concubine isn’t wrong, what else is?”

Zhou Zicheng shook his head sanctimoniously. “No, no. We’re not kidnapping

Her Highness. We’re here to save Her Highness…”

Prince Huai looked at him expressionlessly. “You traitor.”

“You!” A man in black angrily stepped forward but was stopped by Zhou Zicheng.

Zhou Zicheng did not mind being misunderstood. He was extremely magnanimous. He glanced at Prince Huai and asked calmly, “does Prince Huai really want the Consort Dowager to go to the place she’s going today? She will never come back again…”

He spoke the last few words extremely slowly as he looked at Prince Huai.

Prince Huai narrowed his eyes.

Looking at the eyes behind the mask, Zhou Zicheng smiled confidently, as if he was a prophet who could see through everything.

All these years, he had been studying secret arts. The Consort Dowager fainting twice in a year could be hidden from others, but not from him.

Moreover, he still had Wu Zhu’er, his adopted daughter, who could report to him about the Consort Dowager’s situation at any time.

He knew that she went to another world!

So last year, the idiot who listened to songs and learned to dance was not the Consort Dowager.

Zhou Zicheng used this year to recruit soldiers and horses to rapidly expand his forces.

He also asked Wu Zhu’er to get a new personal palace maid for that idiot, which was Ai Meng. This way, Wu Zhu’er would have more free time to help him pa.s.s on important information.

He had originally thought that if this continued, it would not be long before his big plan could be carried out ahead of schedule. However, the real Consort Dowager actually returned…

He had to be more careful!

The Consort Dowager had returned less than a month ago, and her bold and decisive actions were even more vigorous than a year ago.

Last night, Wu Zhu’er had sent him a messenger pigeon, and she had learned of Consort Dowager’s plan for today.

Zhou Zicheng could guess what the Consort Dowager wanted to do by choosing an auspicious day, auspicious time, and auspicious place.

By right, if she returned and that idiot came back, his crisis would be resolved, so he should be happy.

However, with the lesson from last time, Zhou Zicheng could not be happy now.

TShe might come back again after a while with even more new ideas. By then, he would be in even more trouble.

As long as the real Consort Dowager was not eliminated, he would not be able to rest.

He wanted to settle this once and for all and kill her in the Great Shang.

At this moment, he could not let Prince Huai know about this.

He knew that Prince Huai liked the devil concubine, so Prince Huai definitely did not want her to leave.

He would first use this point to shake Prince Huai. As long as he helped her keep the Consort Dowager here, it would be easy for him to kill her.

Prince Huai raised his eyebrows coldly. “Do you know where she’s going?

Zhou Zicheng deliberately took a step closer to him. “As long as we hold on for a while longer, she will never be able to return to that place. Isn’t this…what you wish?”

Prince Huai slowly wiped the sword in his hand. “But if you ruin Consort

Dowager’s plans, she will be angry.”

“It’s indeed inconvenient for Prince Huai to be involved in this matter, but don’t worry, I’m still here.” He gave Prince Huai’s sword a mysterious look and reached out to hold the sword. “Please calm down…” Prince Huai smiled and sheathed his sword.

Zhou Zicheng smiled in satisfaction.

The masked men in black looked at each other in disbelief. They were all in awe of Zhou!

“Ahhhhh!!!”

A hysterical shout came from Zhou.

When they looked up again, his back was facing Prince Huai. One of his hands was behind his back, and Prince Huai was stepping on his calf from behind, forcing him to kneel!

“Prince Huai, you…!”

Prince Huai smiled coldly. “You probably don’t know that when the Consort Dowager is angry, it’s very terrifying…

He didn’t retract his sword to cooperate with him, but to deal with him. He didn’t need his sword.

That’s right, Zhou Zicheng was very good at attacking the heart and had succeeded many times.

Even the Consort Dowager’s confidant, Wu Zhu’er, had been bribed by him.

He might be able to do it with others, but with Prince Huai, he was destined to be a clown.

Anyone could betray Su Ji, but not Prince Huai, regardless of which life he was in.

Wu Zhu’er brought the coachman and the Consort Dowager back to the woodshed. She stood at the door and looked outside.

As she looked at the situation in the front yard, she held the door of the firewood room with both hands.

She heard a sound and looked up. The next second, she was shocked!

The person who came was not her father, but Prince Huai!

She did not know what had happened in the front yard or if her father was well.

Now that Prince Huai had caught up, she had no time to think about anything else.

Raising her hand to close the door, Prince Huai took a step forward unhurriedly. The wooden door that was about to close was blocked by his foot as if it was stuck on a stone. Wu Zhu’er used all her strength, but the door did not budge!

Wu Zhu’er’s entire body trembled violently. However, when she remembered that her father’s life and death were still unknown, she pursed her lips as if she had made up her mind.

The next moment, she took out a dagger and threw it to the coachman. “Quick!

Kill the Consort Dowager!”

She used her body to block Prince Huai, buying time for the coachman.

The coachman took the dagger with one hand.

The “woman” whose head was covered made a m.u.f.fled sound.

Obviously, “her” mouth was also gagged.

“Wuuu!”

“Wuwuwu!”

Wu Zhuer did not hear any movement and was extremely anxious.

As she tried her best to block the door, she shouted anxiously, “what are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it!”

However, after waiting for a few seconds, the coachman still did not make a move.

Wu Zhu’er also realized that Prince Huai, who was standing in front of her, had no intention of breaking in. Instead, he was looking down at her with a condescending expression.

Wu Zhu’er finally sensed that something was wrong and turned around abruptly.

The dagger spun in the coachman’s hand, and “he” used the dagger to remove his veil.

When Wu Zhu’er saw the face of the coachman, her eyes almost fell to the ground!

It was the Consort Dowager!

At this moment, the “coachman” holding the dagger was actually the Consort Dowager!

As for the ‘woman’ on the ground who was wearing a dress and crying for help…was the coachman!
