Shi Sheng returned to the palace with ink all over her body. Chen Bei looked at her with a strange expression.
Shi Sheng took off her clothes and threw them aside. Then, she washed her face. The ink was not easy to get, and Shi Sheng could not wipe it clean after a long time.
"Help me." Shi Sheng walked to Chen Bei's side with a wet towel.
Chen Bei looked up at her. He seemed to be the only one in her eyes. Chen Bei's heart beat faster for some reason. He took the accordion back and caught the towel. "Sit down."
"You're even more arrogant than me, the empress." Shi Sheng snorted, but her body obediently sat down.
Chen Bei took the towel and gently wiped the ink on her face. He could not help but ask, "why are you covered in ink?"
She was an empress. Who would dare to splash ink on her?
Shi Sheng clenched her teeth, "It's just a daring bird."
Next time, I must catch it!
Chen Bei's face was full of confusion. Bird?
What bird?
"Why haven't you gone out recently?" Shi Sheng tilted her head. "Don't you feel bored staying in the room all day?"
"What's the difference between going out and staying in the room?" Chen Bei asked.
She would send someone to follow him. He might as well be more comfortable in the room. At least no one would be watching him in the room.
Shi Sheng held Chen Bei's hand. Chen Bei's body stiffened, but he quickly relaxed and allowed Shi Sheng to take what she wanted. Perhaps it was because Chen Bei had been abnormally obedient in the past few days, but Shi Sheng felt a little scared.
She pinched Chen Bei's chin and raised it slightly. "You're not really planning to please me and then find an opportunity to kill me, are you?"
Chen Bei's eyes flashed slightly. He turned his head and said, "you didn't say it yourself."
Shi Sheng was silent for a moment. Suddenly, she leaned over and whispered in his ear, "then why don't we take it a step further and increase your chances …"
Chen Bei quickly grabbed her hand. His tone was hesitant. "You … promised me."
"Didn't I say that it was invalid?" Shi Sheng held his hand. "Since you want to kill me, I'll give you a chance. Isn't that fair? Isn't it worthwhile to sacrifice something? "
Shi Sheng's fingertips slid down his cheek to his collarbone, and finally pressed on his chest. She smiled confidently. "And you don't reject me that much. When I kissed you, when did you really want to resist?"
She didn't know if it was because she had hit a sore spot, but Chen Bei suddenly struggled vigorously. "Let me go."
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Shi Sheng restrained the playful expression on his face and let go of his hand. "I was just teasing you. Don't worry, I won't want you for the time being."
Chen Bei was skeptical.
"Why are you so disappointed?" Shi Sheng placed his hands on both sides of him and looked into his clear eyes. His eyes seemed to be filled with spring water, rippling into the bottom of his heart.
Shi Sheng was a little tempted, but he was more rational. Of course, he would charge more for other things. He would just treat it as interest.
Chen Bei finally got up from the ground with his hand covering his bright red lips. He tugged at his clothes, which were messed up by the Shi Sheng, and fled into the inner room.
Something in his chest seemed to be about to jump out …
Chen Bei calmed down the restlessness in his body. Suddenly, he heard a sound outside. He turned sideways and looked outside through the crack in the door.
The woman sat in front of the zither and plucked the strings with both hands. The monotonous syllables gradually connected into a song. It was a very passionate song. There seemed to be a battle in front of him that ended with blood and bones.
There was an indescribable deathly stillness around her.
It was as if she had also died in that battle.
"What song is this?"
Shi Sheng's hand paused, and the song disappeared. She turned around to look at Chen Bei, who had returned at some point, and smiled. "Do you like it?"
Chen Bei was silent for a moment and nodded.
Shi Sheng moved back and gestured for him to sit in front.
Chen Bei glanced at her and sat in front of her. Shi Sheng hugged him from behind. "I'll teach you."
Chen Bei was very talented in music. Shi Sheng taught him once, and he almost remembered everything. However, he couldn't play the same feeling as Shi Sheng. Some songs could only be understood by people who had experienced it personally.
"You played well." Chen Bei praised Shi Sheng, which was rare.
Shi Sheng hugged him and rested his chin on his shoulder. Hearing this, he chuckled. "I only know this one song."
She might really be born with no talent in art. Other than deliberately spending a long time to learn things that were useful to save her life, she could speak about everything else in theory, but in reality, she didn't know anything.
Chen Bei did not look back. He plucked the strings again. It was a very gentle tune, like the slight ripples on the surface of a lake in spring. Before it could cause any waves, it returned to calmness.
Shi Sheng listened quietly and changed into a comfortable position to lean against him.
"If you want to take back Shu Kingdom, I can send troops to help you."
"Zheng –" The sound of the zither suddenly changed pitch and continued to be sharp.
Shi Sheng was shocked and quickly removed his hand from the strings. In the end, he dug his ears. "My ears are almost deaf because of you."
Chen Bei calmly moved his hand back and continued to play at the place where it was broken. The gentle tune sounded again.
His voice came through the music. "What happens to Shu Kingdom has nothing to do with me."
"Then why do you want to kill me?" Shi Sheng was puzzled.
Chen Bei was silent. He did not say a word until the song ended.
He struggled out of Shi Sheng's arms and carried the zither to the inner room.
Shi Sheng: "…"
What cat cake!
Don't think that just because I dote on you, you dare to be rude to I!
Well, he really dared.
Chen Bei did not come out during dinner time. Shi Sheng went to knock on the door without complaint. Tomorrow, he would tear down this door. It was one person's bedroom. Why did he install a small door? It was a hindrance!
"I'm not hungry. You can eat." A faint voice came from the room.
Shi Sheng continued to knock.
The person inside was in a stalemate with her for a while. In the end, he could not stand her and came out. He glanced at Shi Sheng and walked out silently.
"Bang!"
Chen Bei paused and looked back at the place where the sound came from. The corner of his mouth could not help but twitch.
Shi Sheng calmly withdrew his sword and commented, "This door is too weak."
Chen Bei: "…" Would he believe that?
She definitely did it on purpose!
Chen Bei sullenly turned his head away. Out of sight, out of mind.
Shi Sheng looked at the door that had already fallen down with satisfaction. Sure enough, it was nonsense to wait until tomorrow. It was better to tear it down on the spot.
The next day, Chen Bei woke up to find that all the doors in the bedroom had been torn down except for the main door. The bedroom seemed to have expanded by a third.
Most importantly, there was a velvet carpet on the floor.
What did she mean?

[This is a fake group.]
System: What's the use of a velvet carpet? And it fills the entire room?!
Shi Sheng: Lots of money.
Feng Ci: She …
System: She what?
Shi Sheng: (Smile)
Feng Ci: … Nothing.
Little Fairy: She can pounce on you anytime, anywhere.
Shi Sheng: You don't want the tickets anymore?
Little Fairy: She can pounce on you anytime, anywhere!
System: … You can even accept this!
