The Prime Minister’s Darling

She was supposed to be a lady of the Marquis' mansion but became a farmer's daughter due to a mix-up at birth. After painstakingly growing up into a beautiful and graceful lady, nobody came to propose to her. Many said she was ugly and mentally challenged or a cursed child who brought misfortune to her parents. But her husband, whom she picked up along the way, was actually the future Prime Minister. The little monk she adopted on the mountain was one of the six Divine Generals. Even the old lady she rescued without much thought turned out to be the current Empress. A certain man said fiercely, "Dear, I'll deal with anyone who dares to bully you!" The Divine General said, "Sister, just tell me whichever territory of the six kingdoms you want. I'll conquer it for you!" The Empress said, "The Emperor bullied my darling? Just wait! I'll depose him right away!"

If previously Master Zhuang felt a fleeting delusion that it was a trick of the eyes, then the phrase "Is it your turtle descendant that drifted away, or is it me, Xiao Ji, who can't lift my saber anymore?" left no doubt in Master Zhuang's mind that the person who had arrived was indeed Marquis Xuanping!

So his earlier guess was correct: Xiao Hen's tactic of luring the snake out of the hole, as well as Empress Dowager Zhuang's sudden appearance, their fundamental purpose was to buy time, waiting for the arrival of Marquis Xuanping!

But isn't this strange?

Just a few days ago, he had received a report from South Island, mentioning that a band of pirates had fled by boat and Marquis Xuanping had gone to pursue them in their retreat!

Could it be—

That those so-called reports of pursuit were all fake, and that Marquis Xuanping was actually already on his way back to the capital?!
