Yuwen Xun hadn't stepped into Shi Sheng's palace for a month, and many people guessed that Shi Sheng had fallen out of favor.
Consort Shu had spent the most time in bed this month, and her tail was about to reach the sky.
"These people change their sails according to the wind. In the past, our palace always picked the fabric first, but this time, Consort Shu's side actually picked first." Tao Qin hugged two bolts of fabric and followed behind Shi Sheng. "Your Highness, don't squabble with His Majesty. Just give in."
Who the hell was squabbling with the male lead?
Give in? Give in, my ass.
Do I (bbb) look like someone who would give in so easily?
Seeing that Shi Sheng wasn't speaking, Tao Qin began to nag incessantly. "His Majesty still thinks about you, or he wouldn't have specially sent so many things over yesterday. Your Highness …"
After a month of stalemate, Yuwen Xun finally couldn't sit still.
Yesterday, he'd sent people to deliver a lot of good stuff. According to the norm, Shi Sheng would definitely thank him for the gifts, and then the two of them would probably make up.
However, Shi Sheng didn't play by the rules. She accepted the gifts, but didn't express anything.
Tao Qin tried to persuade him for a long time, but Shi Sheng didn't seem to hear her.
In the evening, Eunuch De came over to announce that Shi Sheng was to serve her in bed tonight.
Shi Sheng was completely dumbfounded. Yuwen Xun actually wanted her to serve him in bed?
Was there something wrong with him?
In the past, Yuwen Xun would always come to her place, but this time, he was ordering her to serve him in Yangxin Palace.
Yuwen Xun wasn't going to do something to her, was he?
F * ck!
Of course, Shi Sheng was determined not to go, and refused with the excuse that she wasn't feeling well.
In the end, Yuwen Xun actually came in person.
Shi Sheng stood there expressionlessly, neither bowing nor speaking. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Yuwen Xun spoke first. "Beloved consort, are you still angry with us?"
"No."
Yuwen Xun took two steps towards Shi Sheng and reached out to pull her, but Shi Sheng dodged to the side.
If the female lead saw you touching her, male lead, I'm telling you, you'll die a horrible death!
"You're still saying that you're not angry? Our attitude was a little bad before, but what you did was wrong. No matter what, Consort Shu is still one of the four consorts. You teased her like that. Even if We wanted to protect you, We couldn't be too obvious."
Shi Sheng had goosebumps all over his body. Male Lead daren, please let this baby off.
Shi Sheng pulled her clothes together. This male lead wanted to do something to her. She was so scared!
Where is I's sword!
"Didn't you say that I was making things difficult for Imperial Concubine Shu?" How did it become a prank now?
If Shu Fei hears this, she will cry.
"We were too angry. What you did that day was indeed too much. It was such a cold day. If something happened to Imperial Concubine Shu, how would we explain it to Beloved Official Zheng? Of course, I know my beloved concubine didn't do it on purpose … "
"I did it on purpose. I just can't stand her." Shi Sheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, his tone harsh.
Yuwen Xun's expression froze for a moment, but it was quickly replaced with gentleness. "Alright, alright. It was all Zhen's fault. I'll pour tea for my beloved consort as an apology. How about that?"
Damn! You're not angry even like this, Male Lead-sama is really good at enduring.
Yuwen Xun really walked to the side to pour tea.
Shi Sheng stared at him without blinking.
Ghost!
Definitely ghost!
Yuwen Xun poured a cup of tea, then turned around and looked gently at Shi Sheng. "Beloved consort."
No, I won't drink.
Shi Sheng took a step back. "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Please return!"
Yuwen Xun's hand froze in mid-air, his eyes burning with anger.
He had already lowered his status to coax her, but she still dared to put on airs …
Did she really think that he wouldn't dare to do anything to her?
Yuwen Xun gave the people behind him a look. Two eunuchs immediately stepped forward, preparing to grab Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng nimbly avoided them. "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Yuwen Xun held his teacup, his expression cold. "We gave you a chance, but you didn't want it. Don't blame us."
Everyone exited the main hall and closed the doors.
"Are you going to drink it yourself, or do we have someone feed you?" Yuwen Xun's gentle demeanor was nowhere to be seen. All that was left was his domineering aura.
"What's that?" Shi Sheng didn't panic, even in the mood to ask Yuwen Xun what it was.
"Didn't you want a child? We'll give you one. "Yuwen Xun sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man dressed in black walked out from behind the screen. This man was clearly not a eunuch.
He took the tea from Yuwen Xun's hand and walked over to Shi Sheng.
My … God!
This male lead was awesome!
He actually wanted to find a man to make his consort pregnant. How could he do such a thing?
Beast!
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell my father?"
"Don't worry, you won't have any memories of this period. We wouldn't make a move if we weren't completely confident. "
"Oh …" Shi Sheng dragged out the word. "That's a pity."
Before Yuwen Xun could understand what he meant, the man in black who was already in front of Shi Sheng suddenly stopped. A sharp weapon had pierced through his chest.
"See, this is all you've got." Shi Sheng slowly pulled out the Iron Sword.
The teacup in the man's hand fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound.
He stared in disbelief at the woman smiling sweetly in front of him.
Her sword seemed to have appeared out of thin air, giving him no chance to react at all …
The man in black fell to the ground with a thud. Fresh blood slowly flowed from his body.
Yuwen Xun's pupils constricted. He gritted his teeth in anger. "How dare you kill someone!"
He'd always thought this woman was a pawn sent to him by the Zhuang family. He doted on her and occasionally coaxed her. She was nothing to be afraid of.
He hadn't expected her to be so bold as to kill someone right in front of him!
"Do you believe I wouldn't dare to kill the emperor?" Shi Sheng flicked the blood off the Iron Sword. His tone was brisk and arrogant.
The Iron Sword in her hand exuded an aura that made one's heart tremble. It was as if the tip of the sword was pointed at one's back.
She was clearly smiling, but he couldn't see the slightest hint of a smile in her eyes. Those eyes were like deep pools of water that had been settled for thousands of years.
Was this woman really the Noble Consort Yun he knew?
Yuwen Xun didn't know why, but he suddenly believed her words.
"Protect …"
"Yuwen Xun, try shouting." The Iron Sword pressed against Yuwen Xun's chest. The woman's mocking voice sounded. "Let's see if I can pierce your heart faster, or if your people can arrive faster."
"Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape," Yuwen Xun said calmly.
"Why should I run?" Shi Sheng cocked his head.
Yuwen Xun: "…" What do you want to do if you don't run after killing me?
Yuwen Xun took a deep breath. "The Zhuang family is just using you as a pawn. Once you lose your usefulness in their eyes, you'll be abandoned."
Yuwen Xun wanted to use this opportunity to pull Shi Sheng to his side. If he could make her betray him, he'd have a greater chance of eliminating the Zhuang family.
"Isn't that how people work? You use me, and I use you? On a chessboard, there's only one true winner, and that's the chess player who wins the entire game. If you become an abandoned pawn, you can only blame yourself for not being able to become the chess player. "Shi Sheng paused, then asked with a smile," Do you think I'm a pawn or a chess player? "
