Chu Luo's words were blocked by Shi Sheng.
He had followed Liu Ziyan here. If he said that, it would be overturning Liu Ziyan's words. But if she didn't say that, how could she explain that she was in Pure Flowers Palace?
Chu Luo narrowed her eyes. This Prince Rong was really different.
"Miss Liu, Miss Liu … Ah, greetings, Your Highness, Prince Rong, Prince Luo." A palace maid ran over anxiously. When she saw Shi Sheng and Chu Luo, she seemed to be frightened and bowed.
Chu Luo knew that this was a palace maid from Princess Anle's palace. She raised her hand slightly and gestured for her to rise.
Shi Sheng didn't say anything. The palace maid didn't care about her attitude and was even a little unhappy. Who asked her to be the culprit who harmed Princess Anle?
The palace maid said to Liu Ziyan, "Her Highness invites Miss Liu over. She has something to say to you."
Princess Anle was now the most favored princess in the palace. Who would dare to stop her?
"Is the princess feeling unwell?" How could Liu Ziyan not take such a good step forward?
"The princess said she felt a little dizzy and nauseous," the palace maid immediately replied.
Shi Sheng: "…"
If this wasn't premeditated, then it had to be Mr. Plot's doing.
Liu Ziyan was now Princess Anle's guest of honor. If anything happened to Princess Anle, how could they bear the responsibility? The imperial guards could only watch her and the palace maid leave.
Shi Sheng retracted his gaze. "Prince Luo, have you thought of how to answer?"
Chu Luo said calmly, "This Prince is here to see Prince Rong."
Shi Sheng's lips twitched as he continued, "Prince Luo, did you come empty-handed to see me make a fool of myself?"
"I came over after court and didn't have time to prepare."
Shi Sheng grunted. "Counting the time, it actually took you four hours to walk from the throne room to this prince's place. Is Pure Flowers Palace in heaven?"
Chu Luo: "…" She couldn't continue.
The imperial guards watched the two of them exchange and felt the invisible smoke of gunpowder. They were just a bunch of small fries. They mustn't stick their heads out at a time like this lest they get accidentally injured.
However, when the head of the imperial guards received Chu Luo's gaze, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward. "Your Highness, you're still grounded … Why are you outside Pure Flowers Palace?"
Shi Sheng took a step back and quickly climbed up the wall. "I didn't go out, did I?"
The Imperial Guards: "…" Did he think they were blind?
Shi Sheng sat on the wall and waved his fan. "I know you're in cahoots with him. I just wanted to tease him. I didn't want to do anything to him. Anyway, you helped him in the end."
The imperial guard's heart thumped wildly. He had only glanced at Chu Luo just now, and Prince Rong already knew?
The imperial guards weren't the only ones who were surprised. Chu Luo was too.
She actually dared to point it out like that.
And she knew …
"I used to underestimate Prince Rong, but what a pity …"
"You're not underestimating him." Shi Sheng interrupted him, his eyes curved into crescents. "Prince Rong used to be just like that. However, that was in the past, so from now on, you can look up to me. Don't underestimate me, or you'll be unlucky. "
Shi Sheng didn't play by the rules. Chu Luo couldn't tell if he was crazy or if he had hidden a trump card previously. For a moment, she was suppressed.
Shi Sheng turned around and yawned. "I'm going to sleep. You guys can leave."
Everyone: "…"
They had never seen anyone put on such airs after being grounded.
Shi Sheng jumped down from the wall, leaving the group of people looking at each other.
Chu Luo stared at the palace wall with an obscure gaze. After a long while, she flicked her sleeves and left.
…
The Emperor had grounded Shi Sheng in Pure Flowers Palace. The key was that he hadn't thought of how to deal with him. If the punishment was too light, Princess Anle wouldn't be happy. If the punishment was too heavy, the Sima family probably wouldn't be happy either.
The Sima family was just a little chaotic now. There was no news of her being a girl, so they couldn't get hold of any evidence against her. They couldn't directly execute her entire family. The Emperor was also very helpless.
Therefore, the Emperor allowed Shi Sheng to fend for himself in Pure Flowers Palace.
There were no missions in this world, so other than eating, drinking, and sleeping, Shi Sheng had nothing to do.
She lived like this for about two months. During this period, the male and female leads didn't disturb her. She didn't know if they were planning a big move.
On this day, Shi Sheng was lying in the courtyard eating melon seeds when a sharp voice suddenly sounded from outside.
"Prince Rong, receive the imperial edict —"
Shi Sheng: "…"
The Emperor had left her to fend for herself for two months, but he actually came to pass on an imperial edict at this time. He was definitely up to something.
After thinking for a while, Shi Sheng got up and went out.
Outside the hall.
The head eunuch, who was wearing a special eunuch uniform, led a group of junior eunuchs. His posture was even higher than that of a prince.
The head eunuch glanced at Shi Sheng and said in a sharp voice, "Prince Rong, receive the imperial edict."
Haha! Receive my ass!
Shi Sheng walked up to him and looked into his eyes. Just as the head eunuch was feeling puzzled, he snatched the imperial edict from his hand.
"Prince Rong, you …" The head eunuch didn't expect Shi Sheng to be so rebellious. But when Shi Sheng glanced at him coldly, he suddenly couldn't say anything.
Thinking about the contents of the imperial edict, the head eunuch calmed down.
Shi Sheng unfolded the imperial edict. The gist of it was that she was to be the envoy of Beiliang to negotiate with Chiyao.
There were only two countries in this world, Beiliang and Chiyao.
Chiyao had vast land and abundant resources. It had a strong army and strong horses, and had been bullying Beiliang at the border all year round.
However, Beiliang had been suffering from natural and man-made disasters in recent years. They simply didn't have the ability to fight Chiyao, so someone proposed to negotiate.
If they wanted to negotiate, they should send someone to negotiate!
What if Chiyao's Emperor was an idiot and agreed?
However, Beiliang had sent people several times, and if they weren't killed, they came back scared witless. Unfortunately, they didn't leave any traces, so Beiliang couldn't find any reason to condemn them.
After the people they sent ended up like this, the courtiers gave up on the idea and endured Chiyao's harassment at the border from time to time.
No one in Beiliang had mentioned this matter for almost half a year. This time, Shi Sheng suddenly received this task. The Emperor wanted to kill with a borrowed knife.
Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs. This Emperor was truly heartless. He was worthy of being the Emperor for so many years. There was nothing wrong with this behavior.
In the face of benefits, kinship and love were all nonsense.
Power in one's hands was the most important thing.
Shi Sheng threw the imperial edict back, his face cold. "I'm not free. Not going."
You want me to throw my life away? I won't do it!
The head eunuch caught the imperial edict in a fluster. He heaved a sigh of relief when it didn't fall to the ground. Then, burning with rage, he shouted at Shi Sheng in a high-pitched voice, "Your Highness Prince Rong, you are defying the imperial edict!"
Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. "It's just defying the imperial edict, not rebelling. What are you so agitated about? As the head eunuch, is this all you have? "
The head eunuch was inexplicably questioned about his professionalism. He immediately flared up. "Your Highness Prince Rong, defying the imperial edict is punishable by death."
"Aren't you all eager to chop off this prince's head? Isn't it good to give you a chance?" Where could you find such a cooperative villain like this baobao?
You wouldn't find one even if you held a lantern!
Why aren't you all worshipping this baobao?
The head eunuch was speechless. How am I supposed to respond to your words?
Shi Sheng walked inside, his calm voice ringing out. "Don't treat everyone as idiots like you. If I don't want to do something, even if everyone in this world dies, I still won't do it."
