Ten miles away from the outskirts of the city, a maid suddenly came to Dou Zhao's carriage window and lowered her voice.

"Miss, we seem to be being followed."

Dou Zhao frowned, and his cousin Zhao Zhangru nervously grabbed her arm: "Can't it be a bandit?"

"It shouldn't be. This place is only ten miles away from the capital. Where did the bandits come from dare to rob here?" Dou Zhao shook his head and said to the maid again.

"You send someone to escape from the convoy for a distance and hide. If you are really a strong man, let them go back to the capital to seek help."

The maid hesitated and said, "Miss, why don't you go first? What if..."

"If I leave, the convoy will inevitably be in chaos, and the other party may not be a bandit. I asked you to send someone to leave the convoy to prevent it from happening. Don't talk nonsense, go and prepare quickly."

"yes."

At the same time, Ma Quan rode a horse to Qin Hao's car and reported the situation of the convoy ahead.

Qin Hao touched his chin playfully: "The vigilance is quite high. Forget it, the capital is a bit far away. There is no need to hide it. Stop the convoy in front."

A group of guards from the Qin Palace left some to protect the carriage and slowly moved forward, while the rest surrounded Dou Zhao and his team of carriages.

Looking at this scene, Qin Hao nodded secretly. It seemed that his previous performance had attracted the attention of Zhu Jianshen. These guards were all superb riding skills and tacit cooperation, and they were not a slut.

The sudden change made the Dou Mansion convoy mess. Zhao Zhangru was so scared that he trembled: "Shou Gu, we won't die here today, right?"

Dou Zhao was sharp-eyed and found that the group of people surrounding the convoy were all wearing brocade clothes and riding military horses, and he immediately felt confident.

"Don't panic, it's not a bandit."

As a carriage slowly drove into view, Dou Zhao looked at the specifications of the carriage and immediately remembered the boy in the mourning hall.

"Dou Zhao didn't know where he offended His Highness the Ninth Prince, and I hope he would forgive him."

Qin Hao lifted the curtain of the carriage, walked to Dou Zhao's carriage, and said with great interest: "I remember that the youngest sister was heroic in the mourning hall that day, which made the two imperial officials at a loss. Why are they so timid today?"

Dou Zhao tightened his fists: "Dou Zhao was only relying on the support of His Highness to dare to do whatever he wanted. Now he is very scared when he thinks about it..."

"If you are afraid of being clever and sarcastic, you will not be distracted from the card, which will cause a headache for Dou Shishu, the old fox."

Dou Zhao was a little embarrassed by Qin Hao's true face on the spot, but he was more shocked. The ninth prince was too mysterious to her, but the other party seemed to be paying attention to her. The feeling of having eyes behind her was always staring at her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"What exactly does Your Highness mean?"

Dou Zhao gritted his teeth and opened the curtain to question.

"Rare!" Ma Quan's knife was pulled out halfway.

Qin Hao waved at him, and then said to Dou Zhao with great interest: "Yes, this is the character of the junior sister."

"There is a Shili Pavilion in front of you. If the junior sister wants the answer, she might as well come and talk about it."

After saying that, Qin Hao walked towards Shiliting.

Dou Zhao hesitated for a moment and was about to get off the car and follow him. Zhao Zhangru said worriedly: "Shou Gu, why don't I go with you? I'm not at ease."

"My cousin should stay here. If your highness is going to be bad for me, it's just a matter of one sentence, not to mention that he has helped me in the Dou Mansion, he probably won't harm me."

Dou Zhao patted Zhao Zhangru's hand, then stepped on the stirrup and walked off the carriage.

The Shili Pavilion was blocked by the guards of the Qin Palace within ten steps, leaving only Qin Hao and Dou Zhao inside.

"Sit down at the junior sister."

"Where is the seat of the minister in front of your highness?"

Qin Hao said seriously: "I said there is, you have it."

Seeing that Dou Zhao was about to refuse, Qin Hao turned dark: "What? Can you even ask me to sit down?"

"Then... Dou Zhao is more respectful than obedient."

The two sat opposite each other, and Dou Zhao was a little restless when Qin Hao looked at him, and he spoke first.

"Your Highness blocked his daughter's way this time, but what instructions do you have?"

Qin Hao smiled and said, "I have called you so many junior sisters, but you just say that the senior brother is unwilling to call me. Why, my senior brother makes you very embarrassed?"

Dou Zhao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, don't joke like this with your ministers. You are a body of gold. Dou Zhao is just a little official's daughter, how can you afford it?"

"You are afraid of being involved in royal affairs and you must not get out!"

"My daughter just wants to spend the rest of her life safely and steadily. She has never had the desire to climb a dragon and attach to a phoenix. I hope your highness will be fulfilled."

Qin Hao's face gradually became colder: "Spend the rest of his life in peace? Do you think it is possible? Don't forget how your mother died. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. You and I are all in this storm. How could you retreat if you want to retreat!"

When Qin Hao mentioned his mother, a hint of anger flashed in Dou Zhao's eyes, and hesitation was more like hesitation. Yes, she originally thought that she could make up for the regrets of her previous life with the memories of her previous life, but in the end her mother died, but she was powerless.

"There are many helplessness in life, but the most annoying thing is that you know the result but you can't change it. Junior sister, am I right?"

Dou Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "What exactly does Your Highness want to say?"

"That Zhaoshilu is still in the hands of the junior sister?" Qin Hao leaned into Dou Zhao's ear and lowered his voice.

Dou Zhao was shocked and looked surprised: "How did your Highness know about Zhao Shilu?"

"All kinds of past lives, such as death yesterday, and all kinds of later life, such as birth today, will my junior sister not think that you are the only one in this world, Is it a big dream?"

Dou Zhao's mind flashed. She had never heard of the ninth prince in her previous life. It was very likely that the other party died young, but by chance, like herself, came back with "memories of the previous life".

Moreover, from the current situation, the other party should have used the memories of his previous life to turn the situation around, not only survived, but also won the title of King of Qin.

"So, what happened in the previous life can be changed?" Dou Zhao murmured to himself.

Dou Zhao's eyes were turbulent, but he quickly calmed down again.

"Your Highness is planning to let his wife serve the work of a dog or a horse?"

“To be precise, cooperation is to get what you need.”

"Your Highness is of great importance, what is Dou Zhao capable of..."

Qin Hao directly raised his hand and interrupted: "Junior sister, I treat each other with sincerity from beginning to end. To this point, if you still have the same attitude, today we will think that we have never seen each other."

Seeing that Qin Hao was about to leave, Dou Zhao quickly smiled and said, "I hope my senior brother won't blame me, but Dou Zhao really can't figure out what can be seen in the eyes of Your Highness."

"Why should junior sister belittle yourself? Not to mention anything else, that big dream experience is the capital for you and me to cooperate."

Dou Zhao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "If Your Highness wants Dou Zhao to understand the situation in the court, it will be disappointed. In that big dream, Dou Zhao is just a woman in the house and knows very little about the affairs of the court."

"Nothing needs no matter how big or small it is. Even if it is only a little bit, it is enough for me to perform." Qin Hao said seriously.

Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that the ninth prince was quite easy to talk to.

Just when Dou Zhao was still pondering the gains and losses of reaching cooperation with the other party, Qin Hao handed her a piece of letter paper.

"Your Highness, this is..."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "I heard that my junior sister is preparing to do business. This is a generous gift prepared by my senior brother for you. Of course, you can also regard it as money for the investor."

After Dou Zhao unfolded the letter paper, he was surprised to find that it was the purification process of frosting sugar.

Although there was already malt sugar in the Western Zhou Dynasty, most of them were brown sugar, which not only had many impurities, but also had a relatively light sweetness.

Frosting candy mainly relies on foreign countries to pay tribute, and even the royal family rarely gets it. Especially after the pirates in the coastal areas, Frosting candy has stopped coming and the price has risen wildly, even reaching several times the price of gold.

"Senior brother, this method is indeed feasible?" Dou Zhao's eyes widened.

"You'll know if you try it? But this secret recipe must be kept well. If it is leaked, the loss will be great." Qin Hao reminded.

Dou Zhao quickly stuffed the envelope into his cuffs and bowed deeply to Qin Hao: "When Dou Zhao extracts frosting sugar, he will give 40% of the profits to his senior brother every year from now on."

"What? Are you not afraid of being implicated in the center of the storm now?" Qin Hao said playfully.

"I'm afraid, but Dou Zhao is even more afraid that he can't protect the people around him. Dou Zhao doesn't want his mother's tragedy to happen again."

Dou Zhao clenched his fists. If she had "come back" earlier and had received the support of the ninth prince earlier, how could the fifth uncle dare to force Wang Xingyi into the mansion?

After parting with Qin Hao at Shiliting, Dou Zhao's convoy continued to go to his grandmother's farm. Along the way, his cousin Zhao Zhangru was asking what they had said.

In order not to worry about her cousin, Dou Zhao concealed some things and just said that he would cooperate with the King of Qin to do business.

After arriving at the farm, my grandmother learned that Dou Zhao planned to do business and supported her with full support. Not only did she give her manpower and capital, but she also found a master Chen Qushui for her.

The experience of being intercepted at the Shiliting Convoy also made Dou Zhao realize the importance of force and spent a lot of money to recruit Wubi Sulan Suxin.

A month later, Dou Zhao finally refined the first batch of frosted sugar with the secret recipe given by Qin Hao. Looking at the small white particles like frosty snow, Dou Zhao excitedly picked up a pair and put it into his mouth.

"Shou Gu, how about it?"

"sweet."

"So, is it done?"

"Well, we're done!"

Grandmother Cui looked at the two sisters who were jumping and jumping excitedly, and stepped forward and picked up a small handful of them and licked them with her tongue. Her face suddenly became dark.

"Let me hear it all. No one is allowed to reveal a word about the matter here. If anyone doesn't have a secret word, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"I don't dare."

Dou Zhao came to his senses and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. His grandmother looked kind-hearted and kind-hearted, but she was delicate and powerful without anger. She was worthy of being the only daughter of the Cui family in Ji'an.
