Someone nearby was quick enough to hand Shi Sheng a jug of wine.
Shi Sheng grabbed the woman's chin and forced her to open her mouth, then poured the wine down her throat.
Gulp … gulp … gulp … gulp … gulp … gulp …
The sound of wine being poured and swallowed was especially ear-piercing in the hall. The people around them didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Even the Crown Princess and Jiang Zhi were shocked by Shi Sheng's domineering actions.
'Prime Minister …'
Ling Yue could see Shi Sheng's side profile from where he was standing.
Her skin was fairer than normal people's and seemed to be glowing. Her expression was calm and he couldn't tell if she was happy or angry, but he could sense that she was very angry.
Shi Sheng poured several flasks of wine down her throat before letting go of the woman. He reached out and patted her cheek. "Do you still want to drink?"
"Burp …" The woman burped and shook her head in horror.
Smack!
Crash!
The wine flask fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.
She stood in the midst of the shattered pieces, her calm gaze sweeping over the people around her. "Those who spoke rudely just now, do you want to drink on your own, or do you want this Prime Minister to help you?"
Silence.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button.
After a while, someone finally spoke up in a panic, "Drink on our own, drink on our own. Go get the wine, quick."
"Prime Minister, please calm down."
Someone quickly brought the wine over, and the group of people fought to be the first to drink.
Even the Empress didn't dare to casually offend the Prime Minister, so how could they afford to offend her?
"Don't forget who you are, and who he is." Shi Sheng tossed these words down, then left the hall.
The group of people grew more and more terrified.
They had been a little dizzy from drinking, so they'd forgotten that this was a Daoist from Mt. Wanyuan.
He wasn't an ordinary person.
The group of people apologized to Ling Yue in fear and trepidation.
They'd dared to speak rudely to Ling Yue mainly because they'd been drinking, but also because they'd underestimated him.
After all, he really did look very young.
"Daoist Ling Yue, let me send you back." The Crown Princess regained her senses and hurriedly said, "I'll definitely have Mother Empress give you an explanation for what happened today. Don't be afraid."
'These idiots, they actually dared to take liberties with the person I fancy.'
"Daoist Ling Yue, let me send you off." Jiang Zhi was worried about the Crown Princess. Who knew what she would do next?
"Ning Wang, the people in your estate are still waiting for you to return. I'll take care of sending Daoist Ling Yue off."
Jiang Zhi's expression didn't change. "Why don't we send Priest Ling Yue off together?"
Ling Yue retracted his gaze from the entrance of the hall and propped himself up.
The people around immediately opened up a path.
The Crown Princess and Jiang Zhi stood on either side of Ling Yue as they left the hall.
On the way back, the Crown Princess was hurriedly called away by the Empress' subordinates. Thus, only Jiang Zhi was left to escort Ling Yue back.
"Daoist priest, I'm very sorry about what happened last time. I didn't know …" Jiang Zhi apologized sincerely to Ling Yue.
Ling Yue's expression was somewhat dazed, and he felt as if his insides were on fire.
He tried to use his internal energy to suppress the heat, but to no avail.
"Daoist priest, what's wrong?" As Jiang Zhi spoke, she realized that the person in front of her was walking unsteadily and could fall at any time. She subconsciously supported him and exclaimed, "Why is it so hot?"
Ling Yue tugged at his clothes. 'So hot …'
Through his clothes, Ling Yue felt something cold close to him. The comfortable sensation caused him to let out a strange moan.
Jiang Zhi seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed.
'Those people are actually so bold.'
"Daoist priest, bear with it." Jiang Zhi looked left and right, then led him to a rock garden in the distance.
Right now, Ling Yue only had one feeling.
'Hot …'
The cool sensation beside him made him involuntarily lean closer.
… …
Shi Sheng was lying on a rock. She had drunk some wine earlier and felt a little uncomfortable. Now that the night breeze was blowing, she felt much better.
A faint sound came from somewhere.
Shi Sheng frowned. 'Why can't it be quiet anywhere?'
She got up and prepared to leave.
But when she glanced down, she abruptly froze.
She was standing on top of the rock garden, so she could clearly see the situation below.
Jiang Zhi had pushed Ling Yue onto the rock garden and was currently undoing his clothes.
'Ling Yue is actually having an affair with the female lead?
Holy shit!
This definitely isn't my Feng Ci! '
Shi Sheng turned to leave.
"Hot …"
His nasal voice was scattered by the wind, but it still made Shi Sheng stop in her tracks. Her expression changed.
After a moment of careful observation, Ling Yue seemed to be unconscious.
Just as Jiang Zhi was about to undo Ling Yue's outer clothes, there was a sudden sound behind them.
Sensing danger, Jiang Zhi hurriedly pulled Ling Yue away, but she was still too slow. Her shoulder hurt, and the person she was pulling was also pulled over by a force.
Jiang Zhi fell to the ground in a sorry state. Under the dim moonlight, she could see the person standing in front of her.
"Jun Liyou!"
Shi Sheng pried away the hand that was wrapped around her, then half-supported, half-carried Ling Yue to the rock garden.
Swish —
"Jun Liyou, what are you doing?" Seeing the person walking towards her, Jiang Zhi pretended to be calm and shouted, "Jun Liyou, are you trying to commit a crime?"
Shi Sheng looked down at Jiang Zhi and smirked. "Who would know that I was the one who killed you?"
A hint of panic flashed through Jiang Zhi's eyes. In order to avoid people, she had specifically chosen a place where almost no one would come.
Who knew that she would run into Jun Liyou here?
"Jun Liyou …"
Shi Sheng raised his Iron Sword and swung it down at Jiang Zhi.
Shi Sheng felt a strong resistance, as if the Iron Sword was being sucked in by some force. She had to use all the strength in her body to push the Iron Sword down.
Clang —
Shi Sheng's hand suddenly shifted, and the Iron Sword brushed past Jiang Zhi's shoulder and fell to the ground.
Swish —
Hidden weapons flew over from the front, forcing Shi Sheng and Jiang Zhi to put some distance between them.
A black figure dashed over from afar, picked up Jiang Zhi, and disappeared into the darkness with a few leaps.
"Fuck!" Shi Sheng slashed the fake mountain beside her with her sword, causing it to shatter into pieces.
The female lead was awesome!
No matter what happened, there would always be someone to save her.
"Hot …"
Shi Sheng sheathed his sword and returned to Ling Yue's side. His clothes had already been undone by Jiang Zhi, and now he was tugging on them, revealing his exquisite, sexy collarbones.
Shi Sheng's expression darkened as he wrapped Ling Yue up, then carried him out of the palace.
When they returned to the Prime Minister's residence, Dai Yue and Ying Yue were horrified to see Shi Sheng carrying a man.
Where did Her Excellency go to carry a man?
"Go get a doctor."
Dai Yue went to get a doctor, while Ying Yue followed Shi Sheng into the room.
Only when Shi Sheng placed the man on the bed did Ying Yue get a good look at him.
"Your Excellency …" Ying Yue stuttered, "Why did you bring Daoist Ling Yue back?"
Wasn't Her Excellency going to attend Daoist Ling Yue's welcoming banquet? Why did she just bring him back?
Daoist Ling Yue looked …
And a little abnormal.
"Go get some water." Shi Sheng glared at Ying Yue.
Ying Yue hurriedly shut up and went to get some water.
