Sima Hui had been locked up in the Cold Palace and was not in good spirits. After recuperating for a long time, her complexion had improved.
Hearing that her daughter was coming, Sima Hui immediately began to dress up and instruct the servants to do this and that.
When she finally heard that Prince Rong had arrived, Sima Hui rushed out. "Zhi 'er, Zhi' er …"
Shi Sheng and Sima Yang were talking when Sima Hui came out. Both of them looked at her.
Even though Sima Hui was old, she still looked good. After carefully dressing up, she looked even more radiant. However, her eyes had lost their color and were filled with sadness.
Only when she saw Shi Sheng did the sadness in her eyes gradually disappear.
"Zhi 'er, what happened to your forehead? Why is it swollen? Who hit you? "Sima Hui asked anxiously when she saw the red swelling on Shi Sheng's forehead.
Shi Sheng glanced at Qi Yuan who was standing beside him. The latter's gaze was lowered and his hands were clasped in front of his chest.
Shi Sheng smiled. "Mother, I'm fine. I just accidentally bumped into it."
Sima Hui was relieved. "How could you be so careless? Go in quickly. Mother will apply medicine for you. It won't look good if there's a scar."
"Sister, I'll go to the palace to find father first. You and His Highness can have a good chat. Father and I will come back for dinner tonight." Sima Yang was very perceptive.
"Okay, go ahead." Sima Hui only had eyes for Shi Sheng. How could she look at anyone else? She didn't even look at the people standing beside Shi Sheng.
Sima Yang glanced at Qi Yuan. "Young Master Qi, shall I arrange for someone to show you around the residence?"
Qi Yuan didn't respond and kept his head lowered.
Shi Sheng said, "Uncle, he can just follow me."
Sima Yang was a little worried. This was the Emperor of Chi Yao.
Sima Hui's heart was filled with her own baby. She didn't even listen to what Sima Yang and Shi Sheng were saying. She pulled him inside.
Sima Hui brought Shi Sheng into the room and closed the door in one smooth motion.
Qi Yuan was locked outside.
He stared at the closed door. For a moment, his expression was ruthless. His body emitted a strong murderous aura, but it disappeared in an instant.
He turned to look at Shadow Guards A, B, C, and D not far away.
He then looked at the height of the courtyard. Could he climb over it?
Sima Hui and Shi Sheng only talked about their daily lives and even forced her to change her clothes. It was not until dinner time that Shi Sheng finally saw Qi Yuan.
"Why didn't you run away?" Shi Sheng walked to his side and followed his line of sight. There was a pond there.
Qi Yuan responded with a cold snort.
How could he run?
Behind him were hidden guards, and all around him were high walls.
He did it on purpose!
"Your Highness, it's time to eat." A servant shouted from afar.
Shi Sheng looked at Qi Yuan. "Let's go."
Qi Yuan didn't move. He didn't want to eat with those people.
His hand was suddenly grabbed by someone, and a soft voice sounded in his ear. "You eat alone."
Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had actually left with someone.
Her hand was a little cold. It was very small and soft, not like a man's hand at all.
She held on to him with no intention of letting go. Qi Yuan tried to struggle, but failed. At this time, they had already entered a crowd. Qi Yuan's dragon robe was already eye-catching, and now that he was being held by Shi Sheng, it was even more eye-catching.
"I heard that he is the Emperor of Chi Yao. Why is Your Highness holding hands with him?"
"Your Highness … doesn't like men, does he?"
"It can't be …"
"But Your Highness has never had a woman by his side. For other princes, even if they didn't have a first wife, they would have a concubine or a concubine."
The servants were whispering, so their words didn't reach Qi Yuan's ears. However, he could see the expressions on their faces.
He lowered his voice. "Let go of me!"
Shi Sheng loosened his grip, but Qi Yuan immediately pulled his hand back. "Prince Rong, please show some respect."
Shi Sheng looked at him with a faint smile.
Qi Yuan felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. He averted his gaze and responded with indifference.
Qi Yuan was arranged to be in a separate room. There was only a door between him and the hall outside, so he could hear the sounds outside.
Qi Yuan was extremely irritated. He pushed away the bowl in front of him. Shadow Guard A standing next to him immediately tensed up.
Was he going to chop someone up again?
It wasn't that Shadow Guard A was panicking. It was just that the Emperor had such a bad temper.
However, Qi Yuan only sat there without making a sound. He didn't even flip the table.
He lowered his head and stared at his own hand. There seemed to be a slimy feeling on his hand. In the next moment, he covered his hand with his sleeve with an ugly expression.
What was he thinking!
But he couldn't control himself.
"I want to wash my hands." Qi Yuan suddenly spoke. His voice seemed to be flustered and exasperated.
Shadow Guard A was dumbfounded, but he quickly went to fetch water.
Qi Yuan repeatedly washed his hands several times, as if doing so would make him feel better.
Shadow Guard A looked at Qi Yuan's strange behavior and felt apprehensive. Should he go out and talk to His Highness …
… …
After dinner, Shi Sheng bid farewell to the Sima family. Sima Hui had already confirmed that this was her Ah Zhi. Sima Yang and Lord Sima also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there were some things that couldn't be explained clearly, as long as it was Prince Rong, it was fine. At least she didn't have any intention of harming them.
Sima Yang originally wanted to send Shi Sheng and the others off, but Shi Sheng refused.
On the way back, Qi Yuan's expression was unsightly. When they arrived at Pure Flowers Palace, Qi Yuan quickly got off the carriage. After taking two steps, he paused and asked in an awkward voice, "Is your forehead alright?"
Shi Sheng touched his forehead where the medicine had been applied. "Are you worried about this prince?"
"Who cares about you?" Qi Yuan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He quickly denied it, then angrily walked inside.
Shi Sheng quickly caught up with him and grabbed his hand again.
"Prince Rong!" Qi Yuan completely exploded.
He was addicted to holding his hand!
"What?" Shi Sheng moved closer to him. "You won't get pregnant if you give this prince a poo. Why are you so nervous? Did you find out that you like this prince? "
"Nonsense." Why would I like a man? Absolutely not!!!
"If you don't give this prince a poo, then it proves that you like this prince. It's not good to deceive yourself. If you like me, then say it out loud. This prince won't laugh at you."
Qi Yuan was speechless.
How could there be such a shameless person?
"Take a look at your masterpiece." Shi Sheng tilted his head, revealing the red and swollen forehead. He continued, "As compensation, shouldn't you give this prince a hand to comfort his wounded heart?"
Although her forehead had been applied with medicine, it was only ordinary medicine. Thus, it still looked red and swollen.
When they were in the carriage, he reached out to give her a push. Who knew that the carriage would start moving again, causing her to bump into the corner of the table.
Qi Yuan knew that he was in the wrong, so he angrily glared at her. "From here to the room!"
He meant that she could take his hand from here to the room.
Shi Sheng didn't have any objections and entered Pure Flowers Palace under the strange gazes of the palace maids and eunuchs.
When they reached a garden, Shi Sheng suddenly stopped and ordered the people behind him, "Bring two chairs over."
Qi Yuan's eyes widened as he gnashed his teeth. "Prince Rong!"
Shi Sheng tilted his head and smiled, his eyes curved like crescent moons. "You didn't say that we couldn't stop midway."
