"You want to marry me?" Ling Yue's voice trembled slightly. "Be your husband?"
"I promised you." Shi Sheng kissed Ling Yue's lips. "Don't be angry. I wanted to give you a surprise, but who knew you'd hear half of it from somewhere and misunderstand me."
"S-sorry …" Ling Yue's voice was extremely soft.
There had been too many young masters around her recently, so he was feeling very insecure.
He reached out to touch Shi Sheng's shoulder, only to feel something wet. He anxiously got up. "You're bleeding … Let me bandage it for you."
Why did he bite her so hard just now?
Ling Yue climbed off the bed and lit the lamp. With the light, Shi Sheng finally saw that her shoulder and back were practically covered in blood.
Was this guy a dog?
"I'm sorry. Does it hurt?" Ling Yue wiped the blood off her back. "How about you bite me back?"
Shi Sheng glared at him. "Luckily you bit my shoulder instead of my neck. I'd be dead by now."
"S-sorry …"
"Forget it. Just treat it as leaving a mark." She was really getting more and more shameless.
She was definitely going to spoil this guy to death in the future.
Ling Yue carefully cleaned up Shi Sheng's blood and applied medicine before hugging her to sleep.
"Do you know why I followed you down the mountain?"
Ling Yue's voice was a little hoarse in the darkness.
"Isn't it because I'm more handsome?"
Ling Yue was speechless.
"Before Master left, he told me that I couldn't leave Mt. Wanyuan for three years, or else I'd face a bloody calamity."
A bloody calamity? It was most likely related to the female lead.
Shi Sheng began to imagine a melodramatic drama.
"Then why did you follow me down the mountain?"
"I don't know. It's just a feeling. I feel like you …" Ling Yue couldn't quite describe that feeling.
It was as if being together with her was an incredibly natural thing to do.
More importantly, his master had left him two brocade pouches.
His master had instructed him to only open the first one when someone came looking for him. So after Jiang Zhi came looking for him, he opened it.
There were two slips of paper in the pouch, one of which only had three words.
Her name.
When he saw her for the first time, he somehow blurted out those three words.
Another note said that she could cure him of his bloodshed.
"Your master has quite the foresight." Shi Sheng clicked his tongue.
He could even calculate this.
"Yes, Master is very powerful."
"Bring me to meet him when you have time."
"Alright."
"Wife, don't touch me. My shoulder hurts. I don't want to move."
"I'll just move."
"…"
…
In the wilderness outside the capital, Jiang Zhi and a man were holed up in a dilapidated temple.
The man's entire body was covered in wounds, and he was half-hugged by Jiang Zhi.
For the past few days, Jiang Zhi had been hiding with this man.
However, the people from the Prime Minister's Estate were searching for her with great vigor. She could hardly stay in one place for a night.
"Jun Liyou, you and I are irreconcilable!"
Other people transmigrated and lived a good life. Why did she have to suffer like this?
She was indignant.
There was also the Empress. She was her daughter, yet she had actually helped that Jun Liyou come to kill her.
Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. These people from the royal family could not even be compared to beasts.
"Ugh …"
"Qin Hua, are you okay?" Jiang Zhi heard the man in her arms groan and immediately lowered her head to look at him.
"Water …" Qin Hua moved his lips, which were full of wrinkles.
"Wait a moment." Jiang Zhi placed him on the ground and picked up the broken bowl on the ground. She ran to a half-broken water jar outside to scoop some water.
Just as she was about to enter, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside the temple.
They were full of murderous intent and held torches in their hands. They came face to face with Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi immediately saw the clothes they were wearing. She paused for a moment, then broke into a run toward the temple.
"Catch her."
"This is the woman who led the bandits to destroy our village. Don't let her escape."
Jiang Zhi heard the footsteps behind her. Her heart, which had been frightened a few days ago, was once again alarmed.
That idiot Jun Liyou actually didn't kill all those bandits.
Jiang Zhi helped Qin Hua to his feet and ran toward the back of the temple. Qin Hua wasn't very heavy, but compared to dragging an unconscious person, running alone was definitely much slower.
Fortunately, she had checked the layout of the temple beforehand. There was a forest behind it. Jiang Zhi and Qin Hua entered the forest. Under the cover of the night, it would be difficult for the bandits to catch them.
She didn't dare to stop. From time to time, loud shouts could be heard from behind, causing her back to break out in cold sweat.
I have to run. I have to run.
This was the only thought in Jiang Zhi's mind.
She still hadn't gotten her revenge. She couldn't just die like this.
"Ah!"
Jiang Zhi lost her footing and fell to the ground. She smashed into the damp ground and ate a mouthful of mud.
Before she could get up, she felt another weight on her body. Jiang Zhi heard the sound of her ribs breaking and fainted from the pain.
… …
News that the Prime Minister was about to marry Daoist Ling Yue of Mt. Wanyuan spread like wildfire through the capital.
When the young masters of noble families who thought they had a chance heard the news, they all looked like they had swallowed a fly.
Was the Prime Minister crazy to marry a Daoist as her lord?
The Prime Minister's faction immediately sent people to persuade her.
Unfortunately, they couldn't even enter the Prime Minister's residence.
"Sirs, please return. Her Excellency won't see you." The Shi Sheng refused to see anyone, so the task of chasing them out fell to Ying Yue and Dai Yue.
The two of them persuaded the ministers gathered outside the Prime Minister's residence to return.
"Miss Ying Yue, what is the Prime Minister thinking? How could she marry a Daoist as her lord? If the Prime Minister really likes Daoist Ling Yue, she can marry him as her lord. But this lord position is absolutely unacceptable. "
"That's right, Miss Ying Yue. Let us in and we'll speak to the Prime Minister personally. How could she marry a Daoist as her lord? That's against the rules. "
"That's right, that's right, she can't …"
"Miss Ying Yue, please pass on the message …"
Ying Yue felt a headache coming on as she was surrounded by a group of officials. "You all know Her Excellency's temper. If she says she won't see you, no matter how many times we pass on the message, the result will be the same."
After a pause, Ying Yue continued, "Her Excellency is determined to marry Sir Ling Yue as her lord. It's useless even if you try to persuade her otherwise. You might as well go pick out a few gifts and make Sir Ling Yue happy.... "
The officials looked at each other in dismay.
"Does the Prime Minister really dote on Daoist Ling Yue that much?"
Ying Yue nodded solemnly. "Let me remind all of you, Sirs. You must never be disrespectful to Sir Ling Yue. The consequences are very serious."
They had all heard of the rumors circulating in the capital.
However, the rumors were often mixed with both truth and falsehood. Most of the time, there were more false rumors than truth.
That was why these officials didn't really believe them.
But now …
Judging from Ying Yue's tone, the Prime Minister really did dote on Daoist Ling Yue as much as the rumors said.
Their Prime Minister, on the other hand, didn't even know how to act and was actually obsessed with beauty …
*
Prime Minister's faction: Prime Minister, are you going to rebel or not?
Shi Sheng: What rebellion is there in front of beauty?
Ling Yue: …
Prime Minister's faction: Fatuous ruler!!
