Shi Sheng left the palace and found a place to stay. The entire city was searching for her, but she wasn't afraid. If she was found, she could just fight.
The imperial guards were devastated. There was an emperor who would behead anyone in the palace and a fugitive who would beat people up.
They couldn't offend the former and couldn't catch the latter.
The imperial guards couldn't bear to live like this!
Shi Sheng was causing a ruckus outside while Qi Yuan was causing panic in the palace. The two of them were on par with each other when it came to stirring up trouble.
…
During her time in the imperial city, Shi Sheng had managed to find out some information about Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan was the most outstanding among the princes of Chi Yao and was brimming with talent. Because of his mild temper, he wasn't weak. Half of the courtiers supported him to be the crown prince.
But after the incident in Xi Qian, he changed completely.
The details of the incident in Xi Qian weren't clear to outsiders. They only knew that it was a big deal.
After the incident, the mild prince became ruthless. Anyone who didn't stand on his side wouldn't have a good ending.
When he ascended the throne, his temper became more violent.
He would behead anyone who disagreed with him.
Gradually, he became known as a tyrant.
But according to Shi Sheng's understanding, other than beheading the courtiers and people in the palace, Qi Yuan didn't impose any tyranny on the commoners.
A tyrant was a tyrant. Even if he didn't do anything to the commoners, they were still afraid of him.
Especially the commoners who lived in the palace. Their resistance could probably be written all over the city walls.
"What's wrong with them recently? They're almost stripped down to their underwear when they enter the city. How can they let us pass? "A complaint sounded beside Shi Sheng.
Someone who knew the inside story immediately replied, "You just came back so you don't know. The imperial guards have been trying to catch someone recently, but they haven't been able to. I heard that the imperial guards were fooled a few times."
"Who's so powerful?" That person was shocked. "They even dared to fool the imperial guards. Are they tired of living?"
"I have a brother who works there. He knows a bit of the inside story, but don't tell anyone that I'm the one who told you."
"Tell us, tell us."
That person lowered his voice. "I heard that an assassin sneaked in. They're trying to catch the assassin."
Everyone was suddenly at a loss for words. After a while, someone said, "Assassinate who? That person? "
"Who else could it be other than him … If you ask me, based on the current situation, sooner or later, someone will …"
His words were covered by someone else, but even without him saying it, everyone understood what he meant.
Just as they were discussing heatedly, a group of Imperial Guards rushed in and waved their hands domineeringly. "Search!"
Before they could figure out what was going on, the young man sitting next to them suddenly made a move. The Imperial Guards acted as if they had discovered a new continent and shouted outside, "Here!"
The gossipy crowd: "…"
What does it mean to be here?
Don't tell them that the assassin was sitting right next to them?
"That's him. I saw him on the wanted poster in the city." The gossipy crowd who was hiding in the corner didn't forget to gossip.
After dealing with the imperial guards, Shi Sheng patted the broken counter like a bandit. The shopkeeper squatting below was so scared that he fell to the ground. "I, I, I don't know anything … Don't kill me."
"Who wants to kill you?" I can't be bothered to kill you. I raised my hand.
The shopkeeper: "…" Look at how fierce you are. Isn't it obvious that you want to kill me?
Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. "They were the ones who broke the counter. Ask them to pay for it."
What? Pay … pay for it?
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded.
After Shi Sheng left, not only was the shopkeeper dumbfounded, but even the gossipy crowd was dumbfounded. Why did this assassin's style seem a little strange?
Not only was he surrounded by the Imperial Guards, but he also calmly reminded the shopkeeper to pay for it and ask the Imperial Guards to pay for it?
Wasn't he looking down on the Imperial Guards too much?
Although they felt that this assassin didn't want to live anymore, why did they feel inexplicably satisfied?
In the past, these Imperial Guards thought that they were superior just because they were in the palace. They looked down on others. Now that someone was going to teach them a lesson, it felt pretty good.
Thus, when the Imperial Guards didn't like Shi Sheng, the people of the imperial city suddenly started to like him.
How could they not admire him for being able to stay in the imperial city for so long without being beheaded?
"Young Master Nan, are you going out? I saw the Imperial Guards go that way just now. You should be careful. "Shi Sheng met a man the moment he went out. He pointed in a direction and reported to Shi Sheng.
After causing trouble for so many days, she didn't hide anything. Many people came to watch every time she fought. There was even a warrant for her arrest. There was probably no one in the imperial city who didn't know her.
Shi Sheng didn't really understand how these people's minds worked. Were they really Chi Yao's subjects? How could they help an 'assassin' like her? There were even people who directly supported her to assassinate Qi Yuan.
He really didn't understand these ancient people.
Their thoughts were so scary. Weren't they afraid of losing their heads?
Shi Sheng nodded slightly and walked towards the market with a strange look on his face.
Along the way, the people who saw her would greet her warmly.
[…] Host, what kind of scene is this?
Shi Sheng: "…" I'm also a little confused.
She's always been unlikeable. Did she activate the charm of being a heartthrob?
I might have entered a fake ancient era.
Buttface, are you sure you didn't put the extras in the wrong set?
[…] Hehe.
# Speaking of the best posture in the imperial city, only its host is convinced #
"Young Master Nan, Young Master Nan …" A little girl rushed out from the crowd and handed over a handkerchief while panting. "Young Master Nan, this is a gift from my young mistress."
Shi Sheng silently stared at the handkerchief that was exquisitely embroidered.
I heard that in Chi Yao, giving a handkerchief meant that the girl liked you. Of course, this was a custom. It didn't mean that you had to do anything with the girl after receiving it.
The people of Chi Yao were open-minded!
But what was the meaning of asking a girl to accept a handkerchief from a girl?
I'm not a lesbian!
The little girl saw that Shi Sheng didn't accept it and stuffed the handkerchief into his hands. "Young Master Nan, young mistress said that if you don't want it, just throw it away."
With that, the little girl ran away.
Shi Sheng: "…"
Are you really not afraid of losing your heads?
I'm a wanted criminal now, okay!
How are you going to play like this? Can't you be more professional and serious!
Shi Sheng gripped the handkerchief and was extremely melancholy. She was probably the most badass wanted criminal in history.
Shi Sheng didn't dare to keep the handkerchief. It wouldn't be good if he implicated the girl. Shi Sheng had always been more indulgent towards his brainless (girl) fans.
But where should he throw this handkerchief?
Shi Sheng was still struggling with the handkerchief when a group of imperial guards appeared. They were much gentler than before. "Your Highness Prince Rong, His Majesty requests your presence."
When the imperial guards appeared, the crowd around Shi Sheng retreated. At this moment, there was no one in sight. It was very empty.
Shi Sheng blinked. "Why does he want to see this prince? Isn't he looking forward to beheading this prince? "
