Xiao Yunzhou never imagined that his fairy daughter's new celestial technique would be so powerful, as if it were divining the secrets of heaven through the Eight Trigrams.0

The name of this technique, "Eyes of the Eight Trigrams," was truly apt!0

Previously, his daughter couldn't predict future crises for everyone she encountered.0

For instance, she couldn't make daily real-time predictions for people like Chancellor Fu Cha of their Jing Country or the Empress Dowager.0

But unexpectedly, today his daughter's technique had made a breakthrough!0

Xiao Chuchu quickly turned her little face towards the King of Zhou, then to the King of Chu beside him, but after a glance, she looked away.0

[Nothing special for the King of Chu today, just that his youngest great-grandson lost a baby tooth.]0

[My imperial father doesn't have any urgent gossip either, just that he stayed up late again yesterday and this morning he was childishly mocking Wei Zheng for having less stamina than him.]0

[Wei Zheng doesn't have any big news either, but he didn't drink water this morning, afraid he'd need to run to the bathroom during his shift.]0

Xiao Yunzhou: "!"0

His daughter's celestial technique had made such a breakthrough that it could even calculate such minute details.0

[The matter of the King of Zhou's niece is still the most urgent.]0

Xiao Chuchu looked around, found no major issues with her own family, and moved her worried gaze to the side of King Zhou Ling's face, becoming very anxious.0

[Let me see where this farm is where the niece is trapped! But how do I tell people to go rescue her!]0

Xiao Yunzhou's eyebrows and eyes twitched.0

No worries, rest assured, with her 'acting-savvy' imperial father here, he would 'enlighten' upon hearing his treasure's inner thoughts!0

The little princess didn't need to worry at all. Xiao Yunzhou reassuringly patted the little princess's tightly clenched fist.0

[It's in the suburbs outside the east city gate of the capital, about half an hour by carriage. What village is this? Mao Family!]0

Mao Family Village?0

Xiao Yunzhou raised an eyebrow.0

Before the new year, he had seen in the reports sent by Concubine Liu that some of the duck down for the down jackets came from Mao Family Village. This was because Mao Family Village was one of the first places to cooperate with Liu Runnian in trial-raising force-fed ducks.0

At the time, when Xiao Yunzhou saw this report, he had wanted to laugh, thinking that Liu Runnian must have chosen this village because everyone there had the surname Mao, and raising flat-feathered force-fed ducks there would bring good fortune.0

So when Xiao Yunzhou now heard his daughter mention Mao Family Village, he had a vivid impression and remembered everything.0

Xiao Yunzhou's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, and he looked towards the King of Zhou and the King of Chu, immediately finding an excuse, "Have you two enjoyed roast duck during your visit to our Jing Country?"0

The King of Chu had eaten it before, but the King of Zhou had been so engrossed in reading male-oriented novels that he hadn't had the chance yet.0

But just as the King of Zhou was about to decline the roast duck, not being one to indulge in fine food and wine, he saw Xiao Yunzhou looking at him with a sympathetic expression, his gaze urgent and solemn.0

"?" The King of Zhou was utterly perplexed. What kind of expression was this from Xiao Yunzhou?0

It seemed as if not agreeing to eat roast duck would be some kind of century-old regret! A grave mistake!0

"Let's go, I've finished all my reports for today. I'll take you to see where the roast ducks come from," Xiao Yunzhou didn't want to delay. If that woman had already been disfigured or poisoned mute, the fairy little princess who could see everything would probably be heartbroken. Moreover, as the victim was now in Jing territory, he, as the ruler of Jing, had a duty to protect her.0

Now that he knew, he couldn't not act!0

"We now export quite a few roast ducks to Chu State. Brother Chu, don't you want to see the real situation of our Jing Country's meat duck farming areas?" With one sentence, Xiao Yunzhou made both kings interested.1

Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll win every battle.0

Since they had come all this way, learning about Jing Country's information was certainly beneficial.0

After military firearms, learning about the food and clothing of Jing Country's common people... there was nothing wrong with that.0

"Alright, let's go then," both kings agreed.0

Xiao Yunzhou immediately ordered Wei Zheng to prepare the carriages, and then pretended to pick out this month's report on meat duck farming villages from the pile of memorials. He nodded, "We won't go to the first or the last, let's just go see the situation in Mao Family Village, which has average production."0

[Wow, awesome! Dropping the highest score, dropping the lowest score, at the crucial moment my old man didn't let me down, he chose Mao Village!]0

Xiao Chuchu was overjoyed, but as soon as she looked at the words beside King Zhou Ling's face, she became anxious, [Hurry and set off! That scumbag from Yuan State is already meeting with the person buying his wife! Damn it, he's actually selling her to a forty-year-old crippled idiot.]0

Her inner voice was anxious, and she kept making 'giddy-up' horse-riding gestures in Xiao Yunzhou's arms. This imitation was so soft and cute that it almost melted the hearts of the three old men in the room.0

But Xiao Yunzhou knew her inner thoughts and was both heartbroken and equally anxious, "Wei Zheng, no need to prepare the carriages. We'll ride at full speed and return before sunset!"0

The King of Zhou and the King of Chu were slightly stunned, then nodded, looking at Xiao Yunzhou with a hint of admiration.0

They had long heard that Xiao Yunzhou was keen on cultivating the Dao and meditation, but they didn't expect the rumors to be untrue. He actually had quite a bit of vigor and could gallop on horseback!0

"Well said, let's ride at full speed together!" The King of Chu laughed heartily.0

Soon, the three men mounted their horses. Xiao Yunzhou handpicked his personal guards and securely wrapped his daughter, the little princess, to his chest as they galloped towards Mao Village.0

[Goodness, it turns out this Yuan State scumbag has long despised Princess Ronghua for being arrogant. But back then, under pressure from the Yuan King's edict and for the sake of the alliance between the two countries, he had to abandon the woman he loved and marry Princess Ronghua instead. But he has always resented her.]0

[And now, as the Yuan King is itching to ally with Zhou Kingdom to attack us, this scumbag has offered a strategy to the Yuan King. He wants to have Princess Ronghua killed in our Jing territory, thereby inciting conflict between us and Zhou, making King Zhou Ling, who dotes on his niece, determined to attack us together!]0

"???"0

Xiao Yunzhou drew in a sharp breath, furious beyond words.0

No wonder he had found it strange earlier that Princess Ronghua of Zhou Sui Kingdom, who had married into Yuan Mu Country, was now being sold by her husband all the way to his Jing Country.0

Now that his fairy daughter had spoken, Xiao Yunzhou knew he hadn't been wrong in his earlier suspicions.0

It really was a conspiracy!0

He just never imagined that this Yuan man could be so venomous, willing to spark a war and use a woman as a sacrifice! To use his wife of many years as a sacrifice!0

Too poisonous, too cruel. Perhaps not only King Zhou Ling, but even this wife could never have anticipated such malice from the person lying beside her!0

Xiao Yunzhou closed his eyes. He didn't want to fight a war and make the common people suffer, but this Yuan King was too vicious, truly a great threat.0

And this Yuan prince, selling and killing his wife, should descend to the eighteenth level of hell. How could he even be considered human!0

But halfway through his mental cursing, Xiao Yunzhou paused.0

Wasn't it supposed to be killing the wife in Jing Country to frame them? How did it become selling the wife to Mao Village, poisoning her mute, and disfiguring her in his fairy daughter's words?0

What exactly did this Yuan scumbag in the fairy's mouth want to do?0

[This person is just a pervert. Not only does he want his wife dead, but to incite war between the two countries, he's going to all lengths. Before killing her, he wants to create the false appearance that Jing people trafficked Princess Ronghua to Mao Family Village. He's even disguising himself as a buyer who's afraid she'll be recognized, planning to disfigure her appearance, poison her mute, and cut her hamstrings to prevent her from escaping, creating a tragic situation!]0

[This is to enrage King Zhou Ling, make him hate the Jing people, and turn to Yuan State!]0

Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath.0

Who says women are the most poisonous? Clearly, this man is the most venomous!0

[After Princess Ronghua has suffered all this torment, he will then kill her, ensuring she can never speak again!]0

Xiao Chuchu read the 'Eyes of the Eight Trigrams' text beside King Zhou Ling's face and couldn't help but shudder, feeling scared and angry, [Encountering such a scumbag, marriage is truly like a tomb.]0

[He's using her to curry favor with the Yuan King, while also taking the opportunity to take revenge and humiliate her, making himself feel better. Damn him, if he didn't want to marry her back then, he could have defied the Yuan King's edict. He didn't have the courage to defy then, but now he's venting by abusing his wife, what a coward!]0

[Poor Princess Ronghua, on her wedding night she saw his handsome appearance and was deceived by his fake gentleness. This time she even thought she was coming to Jing Country for a sweet trip with her husband.]0

[Who would have thought that this gentle husband was sending her to the underworld!]0

Xiao Yunzhou was so angry he couldn't speak. At this moment, he truly felt that the "She Came Back After Five Years" brought by his fairy daughter was a celestial book!0

Encountering such a husband, he should be cremated, and she should step on his corpse and move forward!0

"My lord, we've arrived at Mao Family Village," the guard in plain clothes reined in his horse just in time.0

[Awoo, she's in the last row of houses on the east side of the duck farming pen—the idiot's house that no one wants to go to!]0

"Go directly to the duck pens, I want to do an impromptu inspection of the duck pen sanitation!"0

"!"0

"!!"0
