Shi Sheng walked in front of Chen Bei. He had remained calm from the beginning to the end. This was not what he wanted. Even though it was such a joyous occasion, he could not be happy.
However, Shi Sheng did not care whether he was happy or not. He led him to the Xuanhe Palace.
The envoy who had been making a fuss about wanting to see him quieted down when Chen Bei appeared. He looked at him strangely.
This was the person the Empress had taken a fancy to?
He was quite good-looking, but he was not that stunning!!
He thought that he was a good-looking person to be able to make the Empress directly confer him the title of Royal Concubine …
Chen Bei looked straight ahead and climbed to the highest position with Shi Sheng.
The rest of the ceremony went smoothly. After reading the conferring letter, it was time to give the Royal Concubine's seal.
Shi Sheng personally handed the Royal Concubine's seal to Chen Bei. The heavy Royal Concubine's seal was bone-chilling. The coldness spread from Chen Bei's palm to his limbs.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the State Preceptor must be present at your wedding. Why haven't I seen the State Preceptor today?" Marquis An could not help but jump out again.
The State Preceptor was one of the reasons why the other countries did not dare to touch Feng Luan easily. Their State Preceptor could predict and know many things in advance. He was very difficult to deal with.
The State Preceptor's position in Feng Luan was also very high. Logically speaking, the State Preceptor should be present at such an important occasion.
However, the State Preceptor had not shown his face from before until now.
"In the prison, Marquis An wants to have a heart-to-heart chat with the State Preceptor? I don't mind giving you a prison cell. "Shi Sheng's tone was casual, as if he was just talking about what to eat today.
However, there was an uproar below.
The people from Feng Luan wanted to strangle Shi Sheng to death. How could he say such a thing like that? The Empress must be crazy!!!
"Oh, I wonder what mistake the State Preceptor made?" Marquis An was angry that Shi Sheng said to give him a prison cell. However, he wanted to find out more information, so he could only suppress his anger.
"I said he was wrong, so he was wrong. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone: "…" Do you dare to be more willful?
Chen Bei looked at the people beside him. She was confident and arrogant. She was not afraid of the people below. Her gaze was calm, as if the people below were a group of dead objects that could not cause any ripples.
This kind of person …
When she looked at him, she showed a gentle expression.
How was that possible?
"Your Majesty … Your Majesty, bad news …"
While everyone was still immersed in how could there be such an arrogant and conceited Empress, an imperial guard rushed in anxiously. "Your Majesty, the Imperial Tutor has been kidnapped."
Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not annoyed at all. Instead, he asked with interest, "How many people?"
"Your Majesty, there are three people in total."
"Three people were able to kidnap someone? What happened to the rice that you Imperial Guards ate? There are so many of you, yet you can't even handle three people. What's the use of having you? "
The imperial guards were speechless.
Everyone: "…"
Her Majesty's way of thinking was very different.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Lingyi lowered his voice and reminded Shi Sheng, "It would be troublesome if the State Preceptor's ability was used by others."
Most importantly, everyone knew that Feng Luan's State Teacher was gone.
Looking at the people below, it was unknown how many of them were starting to have devious ideas.
"I asked you to kill her back then, but you insisted on keeping her alive. Now that you've left her alive, you can deal with it yourselves," Shi Sheng gloated.
Lingyi: "…" How could you blame them?
You framed the State Preceptor with a groundless accusation. Is it so easy to behead her? Furthermore, there's a time limit for beheading. You can't just behead her whenever you want to.
Also, what the hell are you gloating about?
Isn't this your Feng Luan Country?
"I don't care." This is your fault. I won't take it. You can go and catch that State Preceptor yourselves.
Lingyi's mouth twitched. "Your Majesty, do you think that she will let you off after you treat the State Preceptor like that?"
This is not a matter of whether you want to care or not, alright?
Your Majesty, please be a little more serious!!
Lingyi roared in her heart, but she could not show it on her face. She was a female official. She was the female official with the highest status by the Empress' side. She could not lose her composure.
The female official was afraid that something would happen if these people continued to watch. She hurriedly sent people to bring these people to the banquet venue.
Chen Bei was also sent back to the Prince Consort's palace. Shi Sheng wanted to leave, but was stopped by Lingyi. "Your Majesty, this matter is very serious. Who kidnapped the State Preceptor? What's their purpose?"
Shi Sheng lifted her skirt that was too long and swayed left and right, wanting to go over. However, Lingyi was at odds with her and did not move aside.
In the end, Shi Sheng threw her skirt heavily on the ground. "Are you done yet? Isn't it just a State Preceptor? What are you afraid of? He will die once he leaves the palace. I have never counted on you. Move aside! "
Lingyi: "???"
While Lingyi was in a daze, Shi Sheng had already lifted her skirt and walked over. Shi Sheng had already walked to the door. Shi Sheng caught up with Lingyi again. "Your Majesty, what did you do?"
Shi Sheng: "…"
Where's I's sword!
Don't think that just because you're I's person, I won't dare to hit you!
"I poisoned him." Shi Sheng reached out and pushed Lingyi away. "Stand here. Don't move. If you dare to follow me again, I will break your legs."
Lingyi: "…"
When did you poison him??
Was it really not something you made up because you found it troublesome?
…
Shi Sheng dragged his heavy wedding dress to the palace where Chen Bei was. The entire palace was covered in red silk. It was clearly a festive scene, but the palace was somewhat cold and cheerless for no reason.
Shi Sheng refused to let anyone else follow him. He walked towards the palace alone.
"Seventh Prince, come with me. You don't have to do such a thing. Shu Kingdom cannot be saved by you alone. Furthermore, they are only using you as a chess piece. They are basically sending you to your death …"
Intermittent sounds could be heard from the bedroom, causing Shi Sheng to abruptly stop in her tracks.
"I know."
"Since you know, why don't you come with me?" The person who spoke was a woman. She sounded a little angry.
"This is my decision. It has nothing to do with anyone else." Chen Bei's voice was faint. "You should go. She will be here soon."
The woman seemed to be even angrier. She raised her voice. "Seventh Prince, are you really going to give yourself to her?"
"I still have a chance."
"I just don't understand. You know that this is impossible. Why do you still want to get involved in this mess? Shu Kingdom's fate has come to an end. Even if you really kill Xian Yang, you can't save Shu Kingdom. Seventh Prince, come with me … "
Clang — —
The door was opened. A woman in a fiery red wedding dress stood at the door. She looked straight at the two people in the hall.
"Where do you want him to go with you?"
Chen Bei's eyes flashed. He shouted at the woman beside him, "Let's go."
The woman was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, but her face was not one that a palace maid should have. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a peerless beauty.
Shi Sheng's eyes turned. I might have mistaken the female lead.
King Yu might not be the female lead.
After all, everything about King Yu was too easy to investigate. If it was really the female lead, it shouldn't be so easy.
The woman did not listen to Chen Bei's words. Instead, she took a step forward and blocked Chen Bei behind her. "Xian Yang, the Seventh Prince doesn't like you. What's the use of imprisoning him like this?"
