"Your Majesty, the person ran away."
Qi Yuan's hand paused, and he looked up at the imperial guard who came in to report.
The imperial guard didn't even dare to breathe. He lowered his head and his mind went blank. He was afraid that the next sentence would be to drag him out and behead him.
"Speak." Qi Yuan's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was unusually cold, like gold and jade colliding with ice.
The imperial guard fearfully recounted what happened just now. He didn't dare to hide anything, nor did he dare to add any details.
They were prepared to follow Qi Yuan's instructions and behead the person. Who knew that the person would run away before they even reached the place?
They had so many people, but they hadn't even been able to touch the corner of his clothes. Instead, they had been toyed with and beaten up.
After hearing this, the pen in Qi Yuan's hand broke with a 'crack', and an invisible cold air seemed to sweep through the hall. "Search! If you can't find the person, kill him together. "
The imperial guard wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Where could they find the person?
That person was so powerful. If he could enter the palace without leaving a trace, why couldn't he leave without leaving a trace?
It seemed that they were doomed today.
Although this was what they thought, the imperial guard still agreed and hurriedly retreated. Perhaps they could still save the person. What if they found the person?
Qi Yuan threw away the pen and looked at the ruined memorials. He threw them to the ground in annoyance.
The things on the table fell to the ground, making a loud noise. The people outside heard it, but they all looked down and pretended not to hear.
If they went in now, they would only be courting death.
"Prime Minister Su."
The eunuchs at the door bowed when they saw someone coming. They lowered their voices, afraid that the person inside would hear them.
The person nodded slightly. "What's wrong? Is His Majesty angry again?"
"Of course …" The eunuch guarding the door nodded and lowered his voice. "Prime Minister Su, why don't you come back later? If you go in now, His Majesty will vent his anger on you. "
Prime Minister Su looked at the memorials in his hand and thought for a moment. "This is a serious matter. I'd better go in now. Open the door."
The eunuchs didn't dare to refute and ran to open the door. Prime Minister Su entered the hall and saw a mess.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Su only took a glance before retracting his gaze and saluting.
The man who was standing in the middle of the mess turned around abruptly. His eyes were cold, and the murderous aura on his body seemed to have materialized. The air seemed to have condensed into sharp blades, floating around him. With just a thought, the man over there would be pierced into his body.
Qi Yuan's red lips slightly parted, each word carrying a biting cold killing intent. "What is it?"
Prime Minister Su bowed even more. "Your Majesty, our men discovered the whereabouts of King Luo of Northern Liang at the border."
Qi Yuan didn't reply for a long time. The hall was deathly silent.
After a long while, he asked ambiguously, "Chu Luo?"
Prime Minister Su repeated, "Yes, Queen Luo of Northern Liang, Chu Luo."
"Do it." Qi Yuan didn't hesitate this time. "Get out."
"…" Prime Minister Su almost choked on his saliva. "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate …"
He was a prince of Beiliang. How could he be beheaded just like that? Do you think they are the flowers and plants in your imperial garden?
Qi Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his dark pupils seemed to be filled with frost. He enunciated his words clearly. "I said do it! Don't you understand? "
Prime Minister Su: "…"
Prime Minister Su retreated from the hall. The eunuch outside asked with concern, "Prime Minister Su, His Majesty didn't punish you, did he?"
Prime Minister Su shook his head. "This is much more serious than punishment."
"Huh?" The eunuch was confused.
Prime Minister Su didn't explain and only asked, "What happened today? Why is His Majesty in such a bad mood? "
The eunuch stretched out his hand and gestured three. "First, during the imperial court today, a minister and His Majesty had a conflict in the imperial court. "Second, the Empress Dowager stuffed people into His Majesty's side again. "Third, someone barged in here and ran away in the end."
Prime Minister Su felt that this information was a little too much, and it took him a while to digest it.
The second matter didn't need to be mentioned. It happened from time to time. The Empress Dowager's greatest wish was to see the little prince. Of course, this was only to outsiders. As for what the Empress Dowager was thinking … he couldn't say.
But no matter what the motive was, that person didn't have any women at all. The Empress Dowager wanted him to marry an empress, but he turned around and married the woman the Empress Dowager liked to someone else.
He guessed that if those women weren't useful to the family, he would have directly dragged them out and beheaded them.
First, he didn't go to the imperial court today, so he didn't know. He guessed that the minister had already reported to the King of Hell.
The third matter …
Someone actually dared to barge into the palace and ran away in the end. No wonder the palace was under martial law today.
Prime Minister Su's eyes flashed. He asked the eunuch for a few details and left leisurely.
…
Shi Sheng squatted on the roof of the imperial kitchen in the palace. Her nose was filled with the aroma of food. It wasn't that she wanted to squat here, but this was the best location in the vicinity. It wouldn't be easy to be discovered.
Most importantly, she was really a little hungry.
She would only have the energy to teach that idiot a lesson after she was full.
"Go down and get some food up here." Shi Sheng patted the Iron Sword and ordered it to do something.
"Buzz!" It's my turn to do something sneaky? Master, don't go overboard!
Shi Sheng stared at it. "What do you mean sneaky? Did I ask you to sneak or touch a dog? "
Iron Sword: "…" Master, please don't take my words to heart.
"Are you going or not?" Shi Sheng squinted at it.
Iron Sword vibrated with a buzzing sound and scurried down from the side. Anyway, it had chopped down houses, dug up soil, and smashed eggs. It didn't care. It really didn't care.
Iron Sword came back quickly. It didn't dare to take too much. After all, it wasn't good behavior. However, it was distressed that its master was hungry.
So it only took two steamed buns for Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng: "…"
Don't ask her why there were steamed buns in this era. Anyway, there were.
Shi Sheng silently nibbled on the steamed bun. Why was her view of swordsmanship so weird?
Do you know that you can't survive in the apocalypse?
Iron Sword: "…" Master, you're the one with weird views, okay?
After finishing the steamed bun, Shi Sheng squatted on the roof for a while. She waited until it was dark before sneaking back to Qi Yuan's palace.
Probably because of the trouble she caused during the day, the palace was much more heavily guarded than before. Basically, there was an imperial guard every three steps, and there were more people patrolling back and forth.
Shi Sheng squatted in the grass and observed for a while before figuring out the pattern of their patrolling.
There were still people going in and out of the palace. Shi Sheng waited until it was late at night and the door to the palace was closed before she sneaked in.
She used the Invisibility Charm to cheat her way in.
[So why are you observing their patrolling pattern?] It has nothing to do with how you got in, okay?
Shi Sheng answered in her heart, "Because I'm bored."
[…] This is a very strong reason. The system has no words to refute it.
