Shi Sheng didn't know how many times she did it with Ling Yue. She only knew that in the end, she didn't have any strength left and didn't even know how she fell asleep.
By the time she woke up, it was already evening the next day. She was in someone's embrace, her face pressed against his smooth skin. She could hear his clear and strong heartbeat.
She reached out to touch it. It felt so good!
As she touched it, Shi Sheng wanted to go down, but was stopped by someone.
"Sss …"
Someone grabbed her hand and took out a blanket. He rubbed a finger against the area where the door had pressed down on her last night. It was bruised and swollen.
Shi Sheng raised her head slightly. Ling Yue was frowning as he looked at her hand. Perhaps sensing her gaze, he lowered his eyes, his face turning red for some reason. However, he maintained his aloof expression. "You need to apply ointment to your hand."
"It's just a minor injury." Shi Sheng casually retracted her hand.
But it hurt so much.
Yep, he couldn't let his wife worry. He had to endure it!
Ling Yue let go of her and got up to look for clothes.
Only then did he realize that the two of them had been too wild last night. His clothes were already unwearable.
"There should be some new clothes in the wardrobe." Shi Sheng pointed at the wardrobe nearby. She'd asked Dai Yue to prepare them before she left.
There was only one blanket on the bed. Ling Yue hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still got out of bed naked.
He'd already seen what he needed to see.
There was nothing to be ashamed of.
When Ling Yue returned with the clothes, not only was his face red, but even his skin was starting to turn pink.
Shi Sheng swallowed her saliva uncontrollably.
"Ling Yue … It's still early. We can get up later." Shi Sheng grabbed the clothes in Ling Yue's hands.
Ling Yue glared at her and pulled the clothes back. "It's evening."
"Eh?" She thought it was morning.
The clothes Dai Yue had prepared were all prepared according to the rules of the Prime Minister's Lord. Although the clothes were plain, they were much more luxurious than his Daoist robes.
Ling Yue looked like a completely different person in them. He was like a noble son raised by a large family, elegant and noble.
"My wife looks good in anything."
"What's a wife?" Ling Yue asked, his face red.
"Wife means Lord." Shi Sheng was afraid that Ling Yue wouldn't understand, so she explained it in this era.
Ling Yue suddenly looked up at her, his gaze filled with surprise.
"My Lord?"
Shi Sheng blinked. Yes, Your Highness, what's wrong?
"You want to take me as your master?" he continued to ask.
"If I don't marry you, who else will I marry?" Shi Sheng retorted. "I've told you before that I only have you."
Ling Yue lowered his head. "But … my status doesn't allow me to become a ruler."
Shi Sheng frowned. It took him a moment to understand what he meant.
Daoists were considered illegal in this world. Only those from Mt. Wanyuan were slightly respected. The other Daoists had very low statuses.
But even so, Ling Yue couldn't become the head of a family.
Ling Yue looked at Shi Sheng's unreadable expression and said, "Actually …"
Shi Sheng interrupted him and said firmly, "If I want to marry you, no one will dare to object."
How could she let the person she cherished suffer the slightest grievance?
Ling Yue looked at her with a complicated expression.
After a long while, he stepped forward and hugged her gently.
Ever since that day, Shi Sheng moved back to his room and officially cohabited with Ling Yue.
The seven men the Empress had stuffed into the inner courtyard were secretly sent away by Shi Sheng without leaking a single word to Ling Yue.
The men in the Prime Minister's Estate were no longer allowed to serve in the inner courtyard and were all replaced by women.
From then on, the entire Prime Minister's Estate knew that Sir Ling Yue was the Prime Minister's most cherished person. No one dared to slight him.
Everything he ate and used was the best. Some things even the palace couldn't compare to.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Estate knew just how much the Prime Minister doted on Sir Ling Yue, who hadn't even married into the family yet.
It really didn't feel good to be stuffed with dog food by the Prime Minister every day.
… …
"He's gone missing?" Shi Sheng was sitting in his study, his brush spinning rapidly.
"Yes, I heard that the Ning Prince is also looking for him …" Her Excellency had ordered them to capture Duan Qingyun, but they couldn't find him even after searching several streets.
The next day, the Ning Prince's men also started looking for Duan Qingyun.
Shi Sheng stopped spinning his brush, dipped it in ink, and drew a strange thing on a piece of paper.
Dai Yue: "…" She couldn't understand what Her Excellency was drawing.
"Do you recognize this symbol?" Shi Sheng asked Dai Yue as he pointed at the black blob on the paper.
Dai Yue was confused.
'Ink meeting?
Mooncake? '
Dai Yue was going crazy. 'Her Excellency, your drawing is too … I can't recognize it at all!
Her Excellency, are you sure you're not playing with me? '
In the end, when Dai Yue took the paper and left, she felt like her entire life had gone wrong.
If anyone managed to recognize this thing, she'd call them 'dad'.
Ling Yue happened to be coming down from the corridor and saw Dai Yue standing at the doorway with a piece of paper in her hand. He couldn't help but take a second look at the paper, his gaze darkening.
"Sir Ling Yue." Dai Yue bowed to Ling Yue, then left in despair.
It didn't take long for Dai Yue to gain another father.
Of course, she didn't dare to call him that. If she dared to call Sir Ling Yue 'dad', Her Excellency would definitely chop her to death.
Chop her into eight pieces.
Reality proved that it wasn't that Shi Sheng's drawing was too abstract, but that the symbol was abstract to begin with, and when Shi Sheng drew it, it became even more abstract.
Dai Yue quickly found Duan Qingyun by following the location of the symbol.
There was another youth with Duan Qingyun, but the youth was already dead.
He looked rather pitiful.
Shi Sheng was silent for a good while after hearing this.
After she left that night, Duan Qingyun had probably gotten into an argument with those people.
She didn't know where Duan Qingyun had found these people, but it was obvious that they weren't good people. He actually dared to come here alone in the middle of the night to extort money.
As for that youth, she heard that he was Jiang Zhi's boy toy. She just didn't know how he got involved.
It wasn't until Ling Yue pinched her that she snapped out of her daze and kissed him on the cheek right in front of Dai Yue. She weakly explained, "I wasn't thinking about him."
Dai Yue, who was being force-fed dog food, "…"
Her eyes burned.
Her Excellency, please pay attention to the situation!!
"Where's the corpse?" Shi Sheng cleared his throat and pretended to sit properly.
"It hasn't been sent back yet."
Shi Sheng directly ordered, "Send the corpse to Jiang Zhi."
"My Excellency, that's not a good idea, is it?" What if the Ning Princess said that they were the ones who killed her man?
She wouldn't be able to explain herself.
"Do you think I'm afraid of her? Send it to her! "
Dai Yue was speechless.
Forget it. There were already so many rumors about Her Excellency, so one more wouldn't matter.
Recently, there were rumors in the capital that the Crown Princess's disappearance was caused by Prime Minister Jun Liyou.
The Empress' faction was naturally furious, but they had nowhere to vent their anger.
The Prime Minister's faction quietly observed the situation and continued to secretly develop the Prime Minister's faction to strengthen the ranks of the rebels.
The attitude of the commoners was rather interesting.
They weren't as nervous as they should have been. Instead, they were analyzing whether or not the Prime Minister was responsible for the Crown Princess's disappearance.
Some people even started betting.
News of Shi Sheng's outburst for Lan Yan's sake was also dug up.
Was the Prime Minister rebelling or not?
When was the Prime Minister going to rebel?
