Shi Sheng tried to grab Ling Yue's hand, but Ling Yue merely flinched and didn't struggle free. Shi Sheng immediately took advantage of the situation and grabbed his entire hand.
Her hand was soft and warm.
It was just like how he had hugged a heater on a snowy night many years ago.
Warmth seeped into his heart.
Shi Sheng turned to look at the Empress with an arrogant expression. "Your Majesty is overthinking things. If I wanted to rebel, you would have stepped down long ago. Ling Yue is my man. Whoever dares to touch a single strand of his hair will pay with their lives."
Ling Yue's heart trembled as intense pain spread from his heart.
Was this heartache?
Why would he feel this way?
"Jun Liyou, you're impudent!" the Empress roared in exasperation.
Shi Sheng smirked, making no effort to hide the malice in his eyes. "The best way to secure your throne is to not provoke me."
The Prime Minister's faction was speechless. Were they rebelling or not?
Prime Minister, could you please give us a heads up when you're about to put on a show? They won't be able to guess what you're up to.
"You … you …" The Empress pointed at Shi Sheng, her finger trembling. Unable to come up with anything, she clutched her chest and collapsed.
"Kill her. Kill this traitor for us."
The Empress panted heavily, her eyes bloodshot.
The people behind the Empress immediately surrounded Shi Sheng. Seeing this, the commoners didn't dare to stay any longer. They screamed and scattered.
The Empress' faction immediately ran to her side, seeking protection.
The Prime Minister's faction stood in place.
Dai Yue and Ying Yue, who had been standing in the distance, ran over to Shi Sheng as soon as the commoners scattered.
"Your Majesty …"
"Protect him," Shi Sheng said as he pushed Ling Yue to the back. With a flick of his wrist, the Iron Sword appeared in his hand.
The Iron Sword that appeared out of nowhere shocked everyone present.
It was such a long Iron Sword, and it didn't look like a flexible sword. Where did she put it?
Shi Sheng took advantage of the surprise to charge forward, his Iron Sword glinting coldly. Blood splattered everywhere as he swung his sword.
Ling Yue frowned as he watched Shi Sheng move through the crowd, reaping lives like a god of death.
When he fought with her, her movements were still not smooth and seemed stiff and unfamiliar.
But today … her moves didn't seem stiff at all. Instead, they were smooth and gorgeous.
She must be extremely talented to be able to use the sword so fluently in such a short period of time.
Either that or she had purposely given in to him that day.
Compared to the former, who was a once-in-a-century genius, he was more willing to believe in the latter.
Ling Yue looked a little confused.
Why did he think that she would go easy on him?
While Ling Yue was distracted, Shi Sheng had already dealt with everyone.
She stood in the middle of a pile of corpses, blood flowing slowly under her feet.
The wind suddenly blew, and the smell of blood spread far and wide.
They heard the Prime Minister's voice ring out like a horn from hell. "Who else wants to get an autograph from the King of Hell?"
Even though he didn't understand what the Prime Minister was talking about, the words' King of Hell 'definitely didn't mean anything good.
Apart from the Prime Minister's faction, all the officials shrank back.
Although the Prime Minister had a bad temper in the past, she didn't like to talk!
Now, it was obvious that her temper had escalated to the point where she would directly resort to violence.
It was better for them to remain in the background quietly.
Even if the sky collapsed, there were still tall people to hold it up.
Jiang Zhi, who was standing in the crowd, had a stiff expression.
As a modern white-collar worker, how could she not understand what Shi Sheng was talking about?
She was also …
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
A sharp cry interrupted Jiang Zhi's thoughts. She turned around and saw that the Empress was being supported by several people. Her head drooped as she fainted.
Shi Sheng flung the blood off his Iron Sword and walked back to Ling Yue's side. "Let's go back."
The two Yues: "…" Weren't they going to rebel?
She had already sent people back to call for reinforcements.
What a great opportunity to rebel! Sir, you can't let it go!
Shi Sheng pointed at his own face. "Do I really look like a traitor to you?"
This was the face of an Adonis, after all!
He was unbelievably handsome, wasn't he?
Why do you all want me to rebel so badly?
Who's going to take care of things after I rebel?
The two Yues: "…" Aren't you just doing exactly what a traitor would do?
Ying Yue's brain worked faster than Dai Yue's and she immediately flattered, "Sir, how could you be a traitor? You're our wise and mighty Prime Minister."
Shi Sheng glanced at Ying Yue. "Don't you think it's better to act pretentious like this?"
Ying Yue: "…"
She felt like her flattery had been for nothing.
No, sir, what do you mean by acting pretentious?
"Sir, are we really not rebelling?"
"Go ahead. Once you're done, you can be the Empress." Shi Sheng waved his hand at Ying Yue.
Ying Yue: "…"
Dai Yue patted Ying Yue's shoulder sympathetically. "Can't you tell? Sir is only interested in Sir Ling Yue now. "
And how long has it been since Sir last took care of things?
Regardless of whether it was a big or small matter, she always had a strange expression that said 'I didn't raise you all to be decorative vases. Don't bother me no matter how big or small it is'.
"Then, is Sir going to rebel or not?" Ying Yue was conflicted.
What a pity to miss today's opportunity!
"I reckon …" Dai Yue rubbed her chin. "As long as the Empress' subordinates don't provoke Sir, she won't rebel."
"Oh? How do you know? "Why didn't she see Sir's intentions?
"Eat more to nourish your brain." Dai Yue imitated Shi Sheng and patted Ying Yue's shoulder earnestly.
Ying Yue: "…"
"Hahaha, actually, it was Sir who told me." Who could guess Sir's thoughts right now?
"Good, you actually dared to trick me … Dai Yue, don't run."
… …
The Heavenly Ritual failed, and the Empress wanted to make things difficult for the Empress.
The Prime Minister flew into a rage for Lan Yan's sake and displayed her might during the Heavenly Ritual, drawing her sword and clashing with the Empress.
Various versions of the rumor circulated among the common people like fanfiction, becoming the talk of the town.
Whether or not the Prime Minister would rebel became the focus of everyone's speculation.
If the Prime Minister had rebelled during the Heavenly Ritual, there was a ninety percent chance she would have succeeded. But she hadn't.
Now, the Empress was still lying on her bed.
"Your Majesty, it's time to drink your medicine." The man in court robes held a bowl of medicine.
The Empress raised her hand and knocked the bowl over. "What medicine? That slut Jun Liyou is already climbing over my head."
She was so arrogant and unbridled that she even dared to kill people right in front of her.
Also, when did her martial arts become so good?
The black concoction spilled all over the man in court robes. He caressed it carelessly and comforted her in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, no matter how angry you are, you still have to think about your own health. Only by taking care of your body can you deal with her better."
The Empress looked at the face in front of her and her anger subsided a little. She reached out and grabbed his hand. "You're still the most considerate."
The man in court robes chuckled. "This servant will serve Your Majesty the medicine."
The servants brought over another bowl of medicine. This time, the Empress didn't throw a tantrum and finished it in the man's hands.
After drinking the medicine, the two of them rolled together for some reason. They didn't even try to avoid the servants standing to the side.
The others didn't seem to find this strange. They all lowered their heads and pretended not to see.
