"If everyone thinks like you, then failure is inevitable. She doesn't have it on the surface, but doesn't she have a troop of soldiers in private? Don't you understand that prevention is better than cure? Go and investigate! "
Regardless of whether others believed it or not, she did not believe in King Yu.
It was obvious that he was an ambitious person, and one who could endure it.
This kind of person was much harder to deal with than those who were clamoring to rebel all day.
Ling Yi: "..."
King Yu had entered the capital alone and did not bring many people with him. Her fief was also very far away from here, so if there were a large number of people approaching the Imperial City, how could they not know?
Ling Yi looked at Shi Sheng's expression of not being able to find anything and not coming back. She silently swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and accepted the order to investigate King Yu.
"Wait a moment." Shi Sheng called out to Ling Yi.
"Your Majesty?"
Shi Sheng reminded Ling Yi, "Don't miss out on that Wang Jun beside her."
"Yes." Wang Jun? Was there a problem with him too?
… ….
After Shi Sheng finished his daily rebuke of the courtiers, he put down the shameless words of rebellion and went to look for Chen Bei.
There were not many people serving in Chen Bei's courtyard, so Shi Sheng did not disturb him when he entered.
He did not know where he got the zither from, but his ten fingers plucked at the strings. A monosyllabic tone came out and circled around the entire hall.
It was clearly a monosyllabic tone, but it sounded sad for no reason.
Chen Bei lowered his eyes. His gaze seemed to fall on the zither strings, but it also seemed to be empty. He did not look at anything. His lips were pale, and he looked like he had the urge to take pity on him.
Shi Sheng stood in the hall and looked at him for a while. Chen Bei suddenly stopped and pressed his hands down fiercely. In that instant, a violent aura surged out.
However, it only lasted for an instant before disappearing without a trace, as if the ruthlessness from before was just an illusion.
Patter —
Blood dyed the zither strings red and dripped down the zither onto the table.
Shi Sheng took a few steps forward. "Let me see your hand."
Chen Bei seemed to have just regained his senses. He subconsciously lowered his head to look at his hand. He had used too much strength just now and cut his finger.
He clenched his injured hand and turned his head away. "I'm fine."
"Someone, go get the imperial physician."
The Imperial Physician thought that something bad had happened and hurried over. When he arrived, he found that it was only a small wound and was speechless.
Is it necessary for His Majesty to do that?
It was as if someone had died! She was so scared that she almost flew into the air.
"Let him do it himself!" The imperial physician was preparing to bandage Chen Bei's wound. When he heard this, he was stunned and speechless. So why was she invited here?
Chen Bei looked at Shi Sheng from the corner of his eye. No one knew what he was thinking.
Shi Sheng continued to instruct. "Teach him."
The imperial physician was speechless. There was no way he could live like this.
Chen Bei did not need anyone to teach him. He skillfully cleaned the wound, then applied medicine and bandaged it.
Even after the imperial physician left, she still didn't know what she was here for.
"Be more careful next time," Shi Sheng warned as he wiped the blood off the table.
Chen Bei placed his hands on the zither and gently strummed it. Continuous notes rang out in the hall, but they were disrupted in the next second.
Shi Sheng pressed the strings of the zither. "Don't play anymore. Your hand is injured."
Chen Bei's fingertips trembled and slowly curled into a fist. He put his hand back in front of his body and covered it with his sleeve.
Shi Sheng asked someone to put away the zither. He was not allowed to touch it before his hand recovered.
"Aren't you meddling too much?" Chen Bei's expression was ugly. "It's fine if you restrict my freedom, but now you even want to control what I do?"
"I didn't restrict your freedom. You can go out at any time."
"You let so many people follow me. What's the difference between me going out and not going out?" Chen Bei bit his lower lip and revealed a slightly stubborn and aggrieved expression.
Shi Sheng looked at him with a faint smile.
Chen Bei was a little uncomfortable from her gaze. He got up and walked to the other side of the hall. "Don't come here if you have nothing to do."
"Why? Are you afraid that you will fall in love with me?"
"I won't fall in love with you." No way!
"But I think you will."
"I won't."
"Time will prove it, won't it?"
Behind him, there was the sound of clothes fluttering. Chen Bei listened to her footsteps as she left. The door of the hall was closed, and the light in the hall suddenly dimmed. His figure was half hidden in the shadows.
Chen Bei's hand, which was covered by his sleeve, slowly reached out. He stared at his hand wrapped in white gauze as if it had been frozen in time. He did not move for a long time until someone knocked on the door to deliver dinner. Only then did he put his hand down.
"Why are you here again?"
Chen Bei looked at the person at the dining table and frowned. He looked very displeased.
"I'm eating with you to strengthen our relationship. If we don't spend more time together, how do you know that you won't like me? I promised not to touch you for three months, but I didn't say that I wouldn't strengthen our relationship. "
"I don't need you to accompany me."
"I need you to accompany me."
"I'm not eating anymore."
"Then watch me eat."
Chen Bei: "…"
Chen Bei's rejection had no effect. Ever since that day, Shi Sheng came to his place for dinner on time every day. Although she abided by the treaty of not touching him, she took advantage of him with her words.
Chen Bei could not win against her, so he could only respond in silence. She could talk for a long time alone.
From the treacherous officials in the imperial court to the royalists complaining to her all day long about how she dealt with those people and why the treacherous officials' party had not rebelled …
"Why do you want them to rebel so much?" Chen Bei listened for a long time and finally could not help but ask.
He had never seen such a person in power who wanted the courtiers to rebel.
"If they don't rebel, how can I get rid of them all in one go?" How long would it take for her to get rid of them one by one? How satisfying would it be to get rid of them all in one go?
Chen Bei: "…" This was the first time he had heard such a fresh and refined reason.
Well, recently, he had actually heard a lot of fresh and refined reasons.
She really seemed to be different from the Empress he knew …
"Then why didn't Dai Xu rebel?" Chen Bei asked tentatively.
"Who knows? There's something wrong with her brain." She had already dealt with her in such a way, yet she could still endure it. He really did not know what the original owner was carrying that made her so afraid.
"Aren't you afraid?" These days, he had heard a lot of things and knew that only the imperial guards could be ordered around by her. Other than the imperial guards, she did not have any military power.
The power of the entire Feng Luan Kingdom was almost in the hands of Dai Xu. She still dared to provoke Dai Xu. If Dai Xu really rebelled, how long could the imperial palace resist?
Shi Sheng laughed arrogantly. "What are you afraid of? If she dares to come, I will dare to kill her."
Chen Bei did not know what to say. Should he say that this Empress was conceited and arrogant, or that she did not know the immensity of heaven and earth?
The palace was saying that something had happened to her after she had stayed in the imperial mausoleum for a while. He did not believe it before, but now it did not seem so unbelievable.
Why was a person who was fine before and after so different?
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Ling Yi stood outside the hall and called out to Shi Sheng.
"You should rest." Shi Sheng got up. "My birthday is in a few days. I may have to trouble you a little during these few days."
Chen Bei's face was originally fine, but after Shi Sheng finished speaking, he instantly became sullen and stubborn.
What he meant was, I don't want to marry you!!
