Shi Sheng patted Ling Yue's hand and looked around.
The sounds of fighting had already stopped. Jiang Zhi was nowhere to be seen, Qin Hua had been captured, and everyone else was lying on the ground.
"Where's Jiang Zhi?" Female lead-sama, are you trying to ascend to the heavens?!
I have so many people here, but none of them can stop you.
The people below shook their heads in confusion. None of them had seen her.
"Your Excellency, what do we do with him?" Someone pointed at Qin Hua. "How about we just kill him?"
"He's the heir of the Qin Empire. If you want to kill him, just kill him." Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. "Bring him to the empress to kill."
Everyone: "…" What's the difference?
Isn't he going to be killed in the end anyway?
Shi Sheng brought Ling Yue into the palace, while the others chased after Qin Hua.
They had two legs, but Her Excellency had four. There was no way they could catch up.
The palace was surrounded by people from the Prime Minister's residence. As the empress, there was nothing she could do aside from throwing a tantrum and smashing porcelain bottles.
As a result, when Shi Sheng brought Ling Yue in, the floor was still littered with porcelain bottles.
Just how many bottles had the palace prepared for her to smash?
Last time, the floor was covered in broken pieces, and this time, it was covered in broken pieces again. Was this a waste? In the future, this would be money!
The empress was dressed very normally this time, and there weren't any male pets in the palace.
The empress glared at Shi Sheng venomously.
This woman, she hadn't been able to plot against her several times.
Every time, before her plans could be carried out, she would cause a series of unexpected events.
"Throwing a tantrum like that … You're already old, but now you're even older." Shi Sheng clicked his tongue, ignoring the empress's ugly expression. "Bring him in."
Qin Hua was brought in. Perhaps on purpose, when Qin Hua was standing in front of a pile of broken porcelain, the person behind him kicked his calf, causing him to kneel.
Blood immediately flowed from his knee.
The person behind him looked pleased. 'Who told you to plot against the Prime Minister? And on the day of her wedding? You're courting death.'
The empress coldly looked at the group of people. There was no use in saying anything now.
He had lived a glorious life for most of his life, but in the end, he ended up like this.
Shi Sheng personally brought over a chair and placed it in front of Ling Yue for him to sit. Only then did he turn to the Empress. "The heir of the Qin Kingdom is attempting to rebel. Your Majesty, how do you think we should deal with him?"
Weren't you the one who wanted to rebel?
The Empress gnashed her teeth in hatred. If she could pounce on Shi Sheng and bite him to death, she would definitely pounce on him right now.
"Prime Minister, you can do whatever you want. There's no need to ask me." Now that all the power was in her hands, wasn't this just embarrassing her?
"It seems that you still don't know." Shi Sheng's lips curled into a smile, with malice and mockery. "Your daughter … King Ning asked the Zhenyuan Army General to encircle me."
Hearing this, the Empress's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhenyuan General.
"Do you think Jiang Zhi will forgive you?"
Shi Sheng's words were like a basin of cold water being poured over his head.
The scene of her besieging Prince Ning was still vivid in her mind, as if it had happened yesterday.
She was the one who called the Zhenyuan General back. Would she come to save him?
Logic told the Empress that she wouldn't.
If she were the one who was besieged by her own mother, she wouldn't forgive her mother either.
Even if Jiang Zhi was her family.
In the maelstrom of the imperial family, there were no emotions to speak of.
"Hahaha …" The Empress suddenly threw her head back and laughed loudly. She stumbled backward, tripped over an obstacle, and fell to the ground.
Her laughter came to an abrupt end, and the Empress suddenly covered her face and cried bitterly.
She was probably the first empress in history to end up like this.
How would the history books write about her in the future?
Shi Sheng: "…" What the hell are you crying for?!
After crying for about a minute, the Empress wiped her tears and stood up from the ground. After being an empress for so many years, she still had an imposing aura.
"Jun Liyou, what do you want? Speak." She had already come this far, so there was no way out.
Shi Sheng shrugged. "I'm just here to deliver you a traitor who wants to rebel. It's up to you how you want to deal with him."
The Empress stared at Shi Sheng, her eyes bloodshot, as if she wanted to see a flower in Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng's gaze was calm as he held Ling Yue's hand with one hand.
The Empress glanced at Ling Yue, who was still sitting on the chair, then took a deep breath. "Drag him out and execute him."
Qin Hua's mouth was gagged, so he couldn't say a single word. All he could do was glare at Shi Sheng with resentful eyes.
Shi Sheng smiled nonchalantly at him.
'Winner takes all. Who told you to lose?'
That night, the Prime Minister's wedding.
That night, the Protector General's army besieged the city.
That night, the Crown Prince of Qin was executed.
… …
Qin Hua's death probably provoked Jiang Zhi, as she and the Protector General began to attack the city.
Shi Sheng's men had all retreated back into the city. The sounds of fighting outside the city shook the heavens and the earth. The citizens inside the city had long been scared out of their wits by tonight's events.
During the day, they were still immersed in the joyous occasion of the Prime Minister's wedding.
But at night, blood flowed like rivers, and the city was about to fall.
The battle to eradicate the traitors and save the empress had officially begun.
The Protector General's army had traveled a long distance and didn't even have time to rest before entering the battle. They basically lost the first few rounds.
But in the last few rounds, they actually won the battle.
In their camp, there was a Female Lead from the modern era. It wasn't surprising that they could use the tactics summed up in the modern era to win.
The morale of the Protector General's army was greatly boosted.
"Prince Ning, you're really amazing."
In the tent, Jiang Zhi stood with a woman in armor. The woman patted Jiang Zhi's shoulder generously.
"It's just a little trick." Jiang Zhi didn't smile. She couldn't smile at all.
She suspected that Shi Sheng had also traveled through time like her, but she didn't have any evidence to prove whether or not it was true.
She could only end the battle quickly. She didn't want to give Shi Sheng a chance to fight back.
"You're too modest, Prince Ning." The Protector General laughed again. "If it weren't for Prince Ning's arrangements, we probably wouldn't have won."
After the two finished discussing business and decided on the next strategy, the Protector General immediately sent people to make arrangements.
After the arrangements were made, the Protector General looked at Jiang Zhi standing outside the tent. Her back looked a little lonely. She couldn't help but feel moved.
"Don't be sad. You'll be able to avenge them soon." The Protector General patted Jiang Zhi's shoulder.
Jiang Zhi didn't respond. She just looked at the city wall in the distance.
The Protector General sighed and looked over as well.
The city wall was brightly lit. There were people moving on it.
It could be seen from afar that they were very busy.
"What are they doing?" The Protector General muttered. It was the middle of the night. What were they doing on the city wall instead of sleeping?
After being reminded by the Protector General, Jiang Zhi's scattered thoughts came back. She looked over.
It was a little far. She couldn't see what they were doing, but they were obviously very busy.
Jiang Zhi frowned and looked for a while. She really couldn't see clearly. The Protector General had already sent someone to check.
The person who checked soon came back.
After listening to the report, Jiang Zhi and the Protector General discussed and came to a conclusion.
They wanted to attack with fire.
Jiang Zhi couldn't help but show a mocking expression.
She had thought of this before, so she moved the camp back a little. With the ability of this era, there was no way to throw flint so far away.
