On the city wall.
Shi Sheng had people set up the items. These were all enlarged slingshots that had been modified.
Shi Sheng held several small purple balls that were wrapped in a layer of yellow talisman paper.
She called for people to gather around.
"Are the people below ready?" Shi Sheng turned to ask Dai Yue.
Dai Yue immediately nodded. "They're ready."
Shi Sheng distributed the balls to a few people. "In a moment, I'll give the order for you to shoot these over. Wait for the explosion to subside before charging over. Understood?"
"Understood."
"Get ready."
The people who had been given the balls stood in front of the enlarged slingshots, their palms sweating.
They had never seen the things the Prime Minister had given them, so they didn't know if they could shoot them over.
Shi Sheng looked at Ling Yue, who was standing beside him. Ling Yue's face was pale, but he shook his head at Shi Sheng, indicating that he was fine.
Shi Sheng stroked his face, feeling sorry for him. "We'll go back after this is over. I told you not to draw talismans. I have a way to deal with this …"
Shi Sheng had always wondered why Ling Yue had spiritual energy in his body. He hadn't expected him to know how to draw talismans.
Talismans were a skill in Taoism, and a well-drawn talisman was very useful.
But in this world, Taoism was still in its infancy. Ling Yue had figured out these things himself, so spiritual energy only existed in his body.
This was equivalent to a gift from the Heavenly Dao. Once people learned about talismans in the future, the spiritual energy in this world would slowly become richer.
Ling Yue gripped Shi Sheng's hand tightly. "I want to do something for you too."
He didn't want her to always be the one giving.
Drawing talismans would only make him weak for a while. He would be fine after some rest.
Shi Sheng didn't say anything else and turned to give the order.
The small balls wrapped in talismans were shot out like bolts of lightning, cutting through the night and landing in a distant tent.
Bang!
Bang!
The violent explosion caused the city walls to tremble.
These people had never seen such a powerful explosion before, so they were all frightened. It took them a while to react and rush into the enemy camp.
The explosion covered a wide area, and there was a large crater in the ground. Electricity sizzled inside the crater.
In the chaos, people fell down.
There was only one outcome for those who fell, and that was to be turned into charcoal by the electric current.
The Shi Sheng didn't throw it randomly. The amount of these small balls was within the tolerance range of this world, so no strange things appeared in the sky.
Jiang Zhi was still dumbfounded when she was caught.
She couldn't understand why she had such an advanced weapon.
Even if she was a transmigrator, she wouldn't be able to create such an advanced weapon, right?
Jiang Zhi requested to see Shi Sheng. She had a lot of questions, but Shi Sheng refused to see her.
The war ended in such a muddle-headed way.
The strategies that Jiang Zhi and the Zhenyuan General had discussed were completely useless.
Jiang Zhi and the Zhenyuan General were locked up in the dungeon. Both of them looked a little embarrassed.
The chains rattled, and the sound of footsteps came from afar.
"Your Majesty …"
When the Zhenyuan General saw the people gradually approaching, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she rushed to the door of the prison. "Your Majesty, this humble subject is not plotting a rebellion. This humble subject is here to save you. Your Majesty, please investigate clearly!"
The Zhenyuan General would never have thought that this would be the reason for her imprisonment.
She had clearly come to save the Emperor. How did it become a rebellion in the end?
Jiang Zhi curled up in a dark place, staring at the Empress with resentment.
The Empress stood outside the prison door, surrounded by people. She was still graceful and dignified.
The disheveled woman who had cried bitterly in front of the Shi Sheng was long gone.
The Empress waved her hand and dismissed everyone.
"Your Majesty, save this humble subject." The Zhenyuan General reached out to tug at the Empress's clothes.
The Empress let her tug. She lowered her eyes and said faintly, "You shouldn't have come back."
You shouldn't have come back.
"Your Majesty?" The Zhenyuan General looked at the Empress blankly. What did she mean?
"The Prime Minister did not rebel." The Empress's voice trembled when she said this.
She didn't want to admit this was the truth, but it was the truth.
The Prime Minister did not rebel.
She was still the Empress.
She was still the Prime Minister.
"How could it be … she …" The Zhenyuan General looked at the Ning Wang.
"Why did you kill me?" Jiang Zhi asked through gritted teeth.
The Empress looked at her. There was no guilt in her expression, only disappointment.
"If I were you, I wouldn't have come back so quickly."
"The most ruthless imperial family … I've learned it today." In the past, this sentence was empty. Her recent experience made her deeply understand what it meant to be the most ruthless imperial family.
What did she transmigrate to this place for?
"I will let you die with dignity."
The Empress sighed and turned to leave.
Although she was the Empress now, it was no different from before. The power was still in the hands of that person.
Jiang Zhi was in the dungeon, making a fuss about wanting to see the Shi Sheng.
When the news reached the Shi Sheng, she didn't even bat an eyelid.
Why should she go see him?
Who did she think she was?
She wanted to clear her doubts? Why should she?
Go ask the King of Hell with your doubts!
The Empress gave the two of them poisoned wine. It was said that Jiang Zhi didn't want to drink it. Someone forced it down her throat.
It was clearly a cup of poison that took effect quickly, but when it reached Jiang Zhi, she lived for half an hour longer.
The Female Lead's good luck hadn't run out yet.
This matter came and went quickly. The people who didn't know the truth really thought that the Ning Wang plotted against the Zhenyuan General to rebel.
Who dared to say anything when they knew the truth?
In the throne room, the Empress looked down at the Prime Minister, who was daydreaming.
She waved her hand weakly and said, "If you have something to report, please report. If not, the court is dismissed."
"I have something to report."
The Empress looked up at that person.
The Shi Sheng also seemed to be disturbed by her and tilted his head to look at her.
That person trembled and braced himself to report.
The general idea was for the Empress to appoint a Crown Prince.
The Empress frowned. She wasn't in the mood to appoint a Crown Prince. Even if she was willing, would the person standing below be willing?
"That makes sense. We should appoint a Crown Prince."
The Empress thought she had heard wrongly. She actually agreed?
When the Shi Sheng spoke, the people below immediately echoed his words.
"Prime Minister, which princess do you think is qualified?" The Empress gave the choice to the Shi Sheng.
The Shi Sheng immediately looked back at the Empress like she was retarded. "This isn't my country. How do I know who is qualified?"
The Empress was speechless.
You're holding the power now. Isn't this your country?
In the end, the argument didn't reach a conclusion and they could only leave it unsettled.
The Empress didn't go to court for a long time.
She didn't have much power anyway. If something happened, the Prime Minister would be there. It didn't matter whether she went to court or not.
She spent all her time in the harem with her male pets, drunk and dreaming.
As a result, the entire court was in chaos.
The Empress sent people to find the Prime Minister if something happened. The Prime Minister was much simpler and cruder.
It wasn't her job. Why should they find her? Go find the Empress.
In the end, the Empress found that her Prime Minister really didn't want to care about these things. She had to climb out of the arms of the beauty and deal with the court.

The Empress: I'm devastated to meet such a strange Prime Minister.
