Chapter 9
Of course Sheng Jiaojiao knew about it, no one knew better than her that Prince Daze participated in forming a clique for personal gain a year ago, offended the emperor and was deposed.

I heard that he had been under house arrest in the palace waiting to be sentenced, but no one in Zhishou County expected that he would be sentenced and exiled to them.

Come, come, the footsteps of fate are coming towards her.

"Jiaojiao, you said that the prince, wasn't he sentenced to be a commoner? Why are we enforcing martial law in such a big way? I don't know, I thought some high-ranking official came from the imperial capital."

Niu Ju didn't quite understand. She chatted with Sheng Jiaojiao as she walked, as if this was the only way to make this several-mile-long backwater road appear shorter.

However, today Sheng Jiaojiao seemed to be unusually silent, just when Niu Ju thought that Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't speak, she spoke, her voice a little uninterested,
"Isn't there a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse? Although the crown prince was demoted, he is still the emperor's son. Our place is a small place. Even if the crown prince is a commoner now, isn't that what the emperor said? If one day, the emperor remembers the family relationship between father and son, the prince will still be the original prince."

They are all blood relatives. The prince who is deposed today is still the blood of the late queen. If the emperor wants his son to be a commoner, he is a commoner, and if he wants his son to be a prince, he is a prince.

The life and death of all people, ups and downs, only need a word from the emperor.

The big and small officials in Zhishou County understood this truth very well, so even though the prince was demoted, they still treated the prince's family very courteously.

What they did was right, because the deposed prince would be reinstated as prince after living in Zhishou County for less than a year.

Because the deposed prince was suddenly recalled to the imperial capital, many people did not want to see the prince restored, so they wanted to uproot the prince completely.

The root of the crown prince lies in his son-in-law Yin Ze.

Yin Ze was the only son of the deposed prince.

Sheng Jiaojiao understood how huge doubts and reprisals a heirless prince would face.

The emperor of Daze is old and weak, and the deposed prince is not young anymore. The situation in Daze is unstable. If Yin Ze, the only son of the deposed prince, dies, even if the crown prince is restored, how many years will he have to sit on the throne?
That's why Yin Ze accompanied Sheng Jiaojiao back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. The killer was in ambush in Huangtu Village. In order to kill Yin Ze, he slaughtered the entire village of Huangtu Village in a bloody tragedy.

Huangtu Village was unlucky, and Sheng Jiaojiao came out. Sheng Jiaojiao married a man who shouldn't be married, and this man was in the vortex of power in Daze.

A bloody ambush happened to lurk in Huangtu Village.

In her previous life, after escaping from the bloody massacre in Huangtu Village in embarrassment, Sheng Jiaojiao came to a conclusion through countless times of self-examination.

In fact, on Yin Ze's journey to becoming a king, the women who followed Yin Ze at first did not end well.

Including Yin Ze's Yuan wife, who died before Yin Ze became the prince of Daze.

It was still directly sacrificed by Yin Ze.

She can be regarded as the best end result, and she became a queen after all, enjoying ten years of glory and wealth.

On the loess road, the sky is full of yellow sand, and it is bare, dotted with a few clusters of green and yellow short grass here and there.

Niu Ju had a look of sudden realization, her body was black and short, she looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with envy in her eyes,
"Jiaojiao, I think you know a lot. Your mother treats you very well. She not only sent you to the private school in Jishang, but also bought you a lot of books to read."

Sheng Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and did not speak. In the past, she would tell Niu Ju what her aunt bought her, what she learned in private school, and what books she read.

She used to think that it was good for her to stand out like this, because neither the husband nor the wife in Zhishou County had the customs of being respectful. If there was someone in the family who loved reading, others would use different eyes and praise sincerely or politely. one sentence,
"Children who love to read are smart."

Sheng Jiaojiao felt that even though she didn't have a father, she was also blessed by nature, she was loved by thousands of people, and the best in the world was her own.

But now Sheng Jiaojiao doesn't think so, and in the next life, it's better to restrain her edge.

"Niu Ju, I won't go to Jishang's private school from now on."

"why?"

Niu Ju looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with some surprise, she didn't understand, obviously Sheng Jiaojiao said before that she likes to study very much, reading is very expensive, but martial arts is very cheap, Zhishou County is full of martial arts.

Almost every man in every household can do a few sets of punches.

Sheng Jiaojiao raised her hands, held the hemp rope on her shoulders with her white and tender fingers, pursed her red lower lip, thought for a moment, and said:

"My elder brother said that the Kingdom of Shu is about to attack, and it's not good to go to Jishang. I think so too."

The main reason is that the chances of going to Jishang to reunite with the abandoned prince's family are too great.

She doesn't want to meet the prince's family's envoy, doesn't want to know the prince's concubine, and doesn't want to be Yin Ze's concubine, wife, or wife again!

She didn't even want anyone to know that she was Qi Zhang's younger sister.

Niu Ju wanted to say something more, but before she could speak, there was a sound of horseshoes, she and Sheng Jiaojiao turned their heads at the same time, and saw several men riding tall horses running up behind them.

The sound of horseshoes kicked up a stream of yellow dust, and Sheng Jiaojiao's smoky gray dress was swaying. She stretched out her hand and pulled Niu Ju back.

While the hair was flying, several horses ran past her and Niu Ju, one of them stopped, and the sound of hooves sounded,
"Jiao Jiaoer, come up, brother will take you to carry the water."

Only then did Sheng Jiaojiao look up, a fresh and youthful face, it was Qi Zhang!

The son of uncle Qi's family, her eldest brother.

The eldest brother who was still alive, she actually saw him on the way back to the water.

Sheng Jiaojiao's nose turned red again, she pointed at Niu Ju, shook her head,
"Daju is here too, the water source is not far ahead, I will walk with her."

Seeing the big brother who was still alive, Sheng Jiaojiao, who had been in a trance since rebirth, felt inexplicable, and suddenly settled down.

They are all alive, and none of them are left behind.

There are many, many old friends waiting for her reunion. She wants to get along well with each other and cherish each one!

She wants them to live.

Live well.

There was nothing more important than this, and the expression in Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes became more and more firm and bright.

Although she is poor and white now, and the road ahead is too difficult, it doesn't matter, she, a water ghost, can put water to grow vegetables.

This is her big reliance.

Qi Zhang didn't say anything, but withdrew his hand, looked at Niu Ju, stopped his horse and waited for his friend to shout,
"Tan Xiaojian, come here, bring someone!"
