Chapter 197 Revenge
On the way back to Nanzhao with Ugly Granny, Xie Zhichan was taught the language of Nanzhao.
Moreover, both of them are of Nanzhao descent. If they dress up a little, put on Nanzhao costumes, and speak Nanzhao language, Xie Zhichan and the ugly mother-in-law will be Nanzhao citizens and can easily blend into the Nanzhao border.
As for Danfeng, Yueyan and Heying's people, they were very good at disguise. After dispersing, it would not be easy for them to arouse suspicion if they infiltrated Nanzhao.
Xie Zhichan and the ugly old woman first stayed in an inn on the border, waiting for Heying's men.
After everyone gathered, they dispersed and continued on their journey. After they arrived at Taihe City, the capital of Nanzhao, the ugly old woman led everyone to hide in a temple.
This temple has a special status in Nanzhao. Except for the king who is offering sacrifices to heaven, ordinary people are not allowed to approach it. A password is required to open the stone door of the temple. This password is only known to kings of all generations, so it is very safe for everyone to hide here.
After observing Taihe City for a few days, the ugly old woman said to Xie Zhichan, "That cheap man has probably been sitting uneasy on the throne these years. He is afraid that someone else will come to seize his throne. He has a lot of lackeys, and the guards in the palace are tighter. It will be difficult for us to enter the palace and force him to give up his throne."
Xie Zhichan knew that the ugly old lady knew Nanzhao best, and when they got here, everything would be based on her opinion, so he asked, "What are you going to do, old lady?"
The ugly old woman felt sad when she heard Xie Zhichan calling her grandma all the way. She really wanted to hear her own daughter call her mother, but she also knew that this could not be rushed, so she did not correct her.
She said, "There is a mother river in Taihe City. People in the capital drink the water there. We can put some laxatives in the river to make all the guards in the capital lose their fighting power. Then we can sneak into the palace and force Shi Youxu to give up his throne."
Xie Zhichan nodded and said, "At the same time, we can create public opinion outside the venue to remind the people of Nanzhao that the reason they got strange diseases after drinking the water from the Mother River is the retribution for their current monarch's usurpation of the throne."
The ugly old woman nodded and said, "Ayuan, I hope that our identities as mother and daughter can be made public, and you can inherit the throne of the Nanzhao Kingdom."
Xie Zhichan was stunned, looked at the ugly old woman and asked, "Will you let me succeed the king of Nanzhao?"
Without waiting for the ugly mother-in-law to answer, she denied it herself and said, "I grew up in the Central Plains and have no idea about the lives of the people in Nanzhao. How can I govern Nanzhao? It would be very dangerous if I rashly took that position. Since he took this position from the mother-in-law, he should naturally return it to her."
The ugly old woman stroked the scars on her face and said in embarrassment: "The people of Nanzhao have always loved beauty. How could they allow the queen of their country to be such an ugly old woman? If you don't know how to govern Nanzhao for the time being, don't worry, mother will stay by your side to help you."
Xie Zhichan thought that if she became the queen of Nanzhao, she would either have to separate from Pei Yi, or let Pei Yi give up everything in the Central Plains and marry into Nanzhao, but these were not the results she wanted to see.
She said to the ugly mother-in-law, "Don't worry about the scars on your face. I can heal them for you and I guarantee that your appearance will be completely restored."
The ugly old woman was stunned when she heard this, and she held Xie Zhichan's hand and said, "Ayuan, can my face really be restored?"
It was a little beyond Xie Zhichan's expectation that the ugly old woman cared so much about the scar on her face.
She said apologetically, "I saw that you didn't care much about the scars on your face, so I thought you didn't want to restore your appearance. I was afraid that if I asked you about it, it would remind you of the sad things that happened before. Later, many things happened in Beijing, and I didn't ask you a question. It was my negligence."
The ugly mother-in-law shook her head and said, "Don't blame you. I really don't care about these scars. I keep them to remind myself of everything that man brought to me, so that I won't forget the hatred. But now that I have found you, I naturally hope that I can be a beautiful mother."
Xie Zhichan paused. He didn't expect that this was the reason why the ugly mother-in-law became concerned about the scar on her face.
She is pregnant now and can empathize with the ugly old woman's feelings. After all, she was an orphan in her previous life, and having more mothers in this life is a God-given happiness. So she feels there is no need to tell the ugly old woman about her original owner.
She looked at the ugly mother-in-law and smiled gently, saying, "Don't worry, mother. I will make you the most beautiful mother in the world."
When the ugly old woman heard the word "mother", her heart warmed and she nodded with tears in her eyes.
After the two of them discussed it, they arranged people to start the action.
They waited in the temple for three days until the guards in the city had drunk as much water as possible from the mother river and lost their ability to fight.
During these three days, Xie Zhichan stayed in the temple to treat the ugly old woman's face.
The medicinal herbs she used on the ugly old woman were naturally incomparable to the freckle cream in Qianyuan Pavilion. On the third day, after Xie Zhichan once again removed the bandage wrapped in the ointment from the ugly old woman's face, she saw a face that was very similar to her own.
At this moment, Xie Zhichan was certain that the original owner's beautiful face was inherited from the Nanzhao royal family.
She looked at the ugly mother-in-law and sighed sincerely: "Mom, you are so beautiful."
The ugly old woman felt a little embarrassed by the compliments. She lowered her head and touched her cheek with her hand. Sure enough, those criss-crossing and uneven scars had now been replaced by smooth skin.
Xie Zhichan took out a small mirror from his pocket, looked at the ugly old woman and said, "There are still some shallow scars left. They will be healed after two days of using medicine."
The ugly old woman looked at herself in the mirror, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Xie Zhichan and said, "Thanks to Magadha's blessing, you came back to me."
Xie Zhichan comforted the ugly old woman again.
Rumors have spread that the male monarch outside the city usurped the throne, which is why they are now being punished by heaven.
Xie Zhichan and the ugly old woman took Heying's men and quietly sneaked into the Nanzhao Palace.
When the ugly old woman and Xie Zichang stood in front of Shi Youxu, Shi Youxu saw the ugly old woman's face and he even thought that it was the wronged ghost coming back to claim his life.
Not only that, the Queen of Nanzhao, the vicious woman who seduced a man to murder her own sister, was so scared that she rolled off the large queen's chair.
With trembling hands, he pointed at the ugly old lady and said, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
The ugly old woman sneered and looked at the people in front of her: "You two scumbags and bitches are still alive, how can I feel at ease to become a ghost? Of course I have to send you off first."
Shi Youxu was so frightened that he tightly grasped the armrest of the throne and shouted outside the hall: "Someone come! Someone come quickly! Take down these assassins!"
But no one came in from outside the hall, and those people were quietly knocked down by Heying's men.
The ugly old woman looked at the couple in front of her and thought about everything they had done to her, even how they almost killed her own daughter. She felt extremely angry.
She said to Xie Zhichan beside her, "Ayuan, have your people throw this couple into the snake pack."
When Shi Youxu heard this, he was so scared that he slid down from the throne. Seeing that Xie Zhichan looked very similar to the ugly old woman, he instantly understood her identity and said to Xie Zhichan in panic: "Your name is Ayuan, right? Ayuan, I am your father, your biological father. You can't do this to me!"
