“What method? Han Ye brother.”
“Listen! Wear this mask that can cover your eyes and face. It won't have a big impact on your life, it will just make the handsome men's faces look a bit uglier when you see them with this mask on.
If the man's appearance is ordinary, then the mask will not change anything. In short, the more handsome a man is, the uglier he will look to you through the mask.
If a man's appearance is ordinary, this mask will not have any effect at all, it will just be an ordinary mask.”
“Really? Is this mask really that magical?”
“Yes! This mask was given to me by a friend of mine. He has a somewhat eccentric temperament and loves to research these strange things.”
“Is that so? Then Han Ye brother's friend must be a very interesting person.”
“Yes! He is a very interesting person.”
Han Ye sighed lightly.
Lin Zaozao took the mask handed over by Han Ye and looked at the intricate patterns on it.
There were two transparent glass pieces embedded in the eye holes. Although the patterns on the mask looked strange, they had a sense of beauty.
With a tentative mindset, when Lin Zaozao put on half of the mask and looked through the glass on the mask, she immediately lifted her head to look at Han Ye and Xiao Liuli.
“Han Ye brother, Xiao Liuli, take off your masks and let me see your faces.”
After Han Ye and Xiao Liuli took off their masks, when Lin Zaozao looked at their faces through the glass on her mask, her eyebrows were knitted so tight that a sweater could be knitted from them.
How can there be such a weird mask! It actually turned a handsome guy's face into a big monster covered in warts.
Her Han Ye brother is so handsome!
Han Ye's such a handsome and charming face, yet through the mask she saw a purple-skinned monster with long ears, a big nose, small eyes, and a face full of warts.
And Xiao Liuli, her cute "little sister".
Originally so lovable and well-behaved, what she saw through the mask was just a little red-skinned monster with small eyes, a big mouth, and a pig's nose.
Does this mask really only make people look a bit ugly?
If she wore this mask and looked at handsome guys continuously for three days, how much damage would it do to her eyes!
But thinking of her own shameless ogling and drooling, Lin Zaozao could only wrong her eyes for now.
At worst, she could take off the mask after three days, take a good look at her little husbands, and wash her eyes with their glorious beauty.
But Han Ye's friend is really a wizard!
What material was his brain made of to be able to research such an eye-polluting mask!
Collecting her thoughts, Lin Zaozao looked at Xiao Liuli in women's clothing and said,
"Xiao Liuli, I'm going to see your twin sisters, do you want to come with me?"
"Sister, I'll go with you. Ruo Qiu has already been given to you as a gift by my Empress Mother.
Now that it's come to this, my Empress Mother must know that I'm with you, so I don't need to keep hiding from them anymore."
Xiao Liuli looked at Lin Zaozao with a bleak expression.
"Then come with me!"
Lin Zaozao patted Xiao Liuli and turned to Han Ye,
"Han Ye brother, do you want to come with me to the dungeon?"
"Zhuzhu, we have captured the envoys of Canglan and Fengshou, not to mention that these envoys are the princesses and princes of Canglan and Fengshou.
Whether for the country or myself, the empresses of Canglan and Fengshou will definitely take the opportunity to harass the borders of our Han Country.
Zhuzhu, go see Canglan's pair of twin sisters first, I'll go out to see Uncle Zhang and discuss further fortifying the border defenses."
"Okay! Be careful, Han Ye brother, I'll go first then."
After saying goodbye to Han Ye, Lin Zaozao turned and led Xiao Liuli towards the dungeon.
When they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, Dashan was standing there with a cold expression, hugging a heavy sword. Seeing Dashan's so cold expression, Lin Zaozao felt that his current image was truly like an impenetrable guardian deity.
That's so cool.
It looked nothing like his usual honest appearance.
Probably because Lin Zaozao's gaze was too heated, sensing her fiery eyes, Dashan swiftly turned his head and saw Lin Zaozao walking towards him with Xiao Liuli.
The next second, a cold-faced guardian deity immediately turned into a foolish farmer.
When Lin Zaozao looked at the Hulk-like Dashan and his elephant ears through the mask, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
It seems that in the mask's view, Dashan is a handsome man.
While having random thoughts, when Lin Zaozao saw Dashan's concerned expression, she subconsciously suppressed the smile that was about to emerge.
No, how could she laugh at her Dashan brother!
The mask was not wrong, her Dashan is a handsome gentleman.
"Little master, why are you here? How is Young Master Ruo Qiu? Is the poison in his body solved?"
"Dashan, Ruo Qiu is fine now. I came here to interrogate Canglan's bullshit twins."
"Little master, Canglan's twins are inside. I've arranged guards to keep an eye on them at all times, no one with ill intent can get close to them."
"Um! I know."
After nodding to Dashan, Lin Zaozao led Xiao Liuli into the dungeon. Inside, she saw Ye Mu lying on the straw mat clutching her chest, and Ye Zhao sitting beside Ye Mu caring for her injury.
When this pair of twin sisters saw Lin Zaozao walk into the dungeon, the madness and arrogance on their faces from earlier in the great hall had now disappeared.
"Ming Zhu, you're here!"
Ye Zhao in red looked at Lin Zaozao with an indifferent expression.
"Princess Ye Zhao, you knew I would come?"
Lin Zaozao sat in the chair carried in by Dashan, her eyes filled with mocking as she casually asked.
"Of course I knew Ming Zhu would come. At the banquet, if you had wanted to kill Ye Mu, you wouldn't have deflected the knife a few inches. That stab you made was just for show, right!"
Hearing Ye Zhao's explanation, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but applaud her.
"As expected of Canglan Female Emperor's favorite twins, your insight is quite keen."
"You flatter me, Ming Zhu. I just want to ask, how did you know my sister and I had the intention to defect?"
Facing Ye Zhao's confusion, Lin Zaozao wanted to laugh. This pair of twins had made it so obvious, she Lin Zaozao wasn't a fool, how could she not see it.
"Ye Zhao, Ye Mu, Ji Fantian and Young Prison Master said you two are the most favored daughters of Canglan Country.
Since you two are most favored by the Canglan Female Emperor, how could she bear to sacrifice you and send you to Han Country as cannon fodder.
The Canglan Female Emperor must have known that after you brought the dying Ruo Qiu to me, I would definitely kill you in fury. But she still sent you two here as envoys.
Plus you two hurriedly brought out Ruo Qiu as soon as I entered the great hall. You were afraid it would be too late if you brought him out later and Ruo Qiu would die, right! Anyone can understand what you meant."
After hearing Lin Zaozao's explanation, Ye Zhao looked at her sister Ye Mu, then turned back to Lin Zaozao and said sincerely,
"Ming Zhu, my mother said you grew up among the common people and must be vulgar and incompetent, unable to take on responsibilities.
But from your ability to act with us on stage in the great hall until now during our conversation, I feel that you don't seem like someone raised to be a fool."
"Ha! Acting? Maybe not acting. Only..."
Lin Zaozao glared fiercely at the confident Ye Zhao and Ye Mu, and said in a deep voice.
"It's just that, I'm certainly not stupid. In this world, it's not only you who can act. From a young age, although I have never learned those cunning tricks, I have never eaten pork, but I have seen many pigs like you running around. So! I can pretend to act like you pigs, I can still do it!"
Ye Zhao and Ye Mu, who was lying on the grass mat, looked at Lin Zaozao rambling on and on, but did not mention a word about the antidote for Ruo Qiu, and they could not help feeling a little impatient.
After all, the poison their mother empress put on Ruo Qiu was especially fierce. If they were not careful, even if they now had the antidote, they would not be able to save Ruo Qiu's life.
If Ruo Qiu died, then what could they use to negotiate terms with the new empress of Han Country?
After thinking about it, Ye Zhao still could not hold back and took the lead to speak out impatiently.
"Your Majesty Ming Zhu, you have told us so much, aren't you worried about the poison on Ruo Qiu?"
"Worried! Ruo Qiu is my little husband, I must be worried."
Following Ye Zhao's words, Lin Zaozao straightened up from the chair and said anxiously, pretending to be anxious.
"Your Majesty Ming Zhu, we can give you the antidote for Ruo Qiu. But we have one condition."
"What condition? Tell me first and let me see if I can agree. After all, as the current empress of Han Country, I can't just agree to other people's requests."
Lin Zaozao held her chin in one hand and spoke calmly.
Seeing Lin Zaozao's calm expression again, Ye Zhao could not help feeling anxious.
Could it be that their investigation was wrong? This newly appointed empress of Han Country did not care about Ruo Qiu's life at all.
Her anxious appearance just now was also pretended?
Otherwise, how could her tone be so calm when it came to Ruo Qiu's life? But thinking of their father, and the clansmen behind their father, Ye Zhao gritted her teeth and said eagerly,
"Your Majesty Ming Zhu, we can not only give you the antidote for Ruo Qiu, we can also help your husband Ye Yi seize the supreme position of Canglan Country.
And our condition is that you save our father's clan and ensure that our mother empress does not harm our father's clan."
Hearing Ye Zhao's words, Lin Zaozao could not help but want to laugh.
Helping Ye Yi seize the supreme position of Canglan Country! These twins really dare to say it! If they really have that ability, why don't they sit in that position themselves! But let Ye Yi have that position!
Nonsense! The condition they offered is simply ridiculous.
Also, now Ye Zhao and Ye Mu are just painting a big pie for her verbally. A pie in the sky, and they want to use it as a condition to get her to ensure the safety of their clansmen!
It's really ridiculous to the extreme.
