"Noble Consort Yun, are you rebelling?" Yuwen Xun pressed down on Consort Shu's waist, his tone cold.
"No." Shi Sheng shook his head. "How did Your Majesty know that I was rebelling?"
"Kneel before Zhen!" He hadn't seen her bow since just now. She was infuriating him.
Shi Sheng narrowed his eyes. "I only kneel to dead people."
Yuwen Xun: "…"
Someone come! Drag this rebellious noble consort out and behead her! Behead her!
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Anger will harm your health. What happened just now was due to my carelessness. I don't blame Sister." Consort Shu comforted Yuwen Xun.
But the more she comforted him, the angrier he got.
"Were you the one who pushed Consort Shu just now?" Yuwen Xun asked coldly.
"Guess."
Zhen … guessed!
Guess your ass!
You're infuriating Zhen!
"Consort Shu, was she the one who pushed you just now?"
Consort Shu stammered, "Your Majesty … this …"
Yuwen Xun backed Consort Shu up. "Yes means yes, no means no. Zhen is here. What can she do to you? "
"I wanted to invite Sister to sit in the pavilion, but Sister wasn't willing … She even pushed me. It was my own fault for not being able to stand properly. It has nothing to do with Sister … "Consort Shu's eyes reddened, her words full of grievance.
My Consort Shu is amazing.
Acting is indeed a compulsory course for women who live in palace intrigue.
Yuwen Xun patted Consort Shu's back, then turned around with a cold expression.
"Consort Shu invited you out of goodwill, but you pushed her into the pond. Noble Consort Yun, what are your intentions? Will you only be happy if you cause chaos in Zhen's harem?"
Shi Sheng didn't say anything.
There was nothing to say to an idiot.
Any explanation was bullshit.
"You have nothing to say, right? Then you admit that you pushed Consort Shu? "Yuwen Xun raised his voice.
Everyone in the Hall of Declaring Peace was shocked. The palace maids and eunuchs all knelt down.
"Whatever you say."
Yuwen Xun pointed at Shi Sheng, his chest heaving up and down.
"Noble Consort Yun's jealousy has become second nature. She is demoted to Zhao." If he were to be banished to the Cold Palace, who knew how the Zhuang Family would kick up a fuss? Yuwen Xun could only take things one step at a time.
When Yuwen Xun wasn't looking, Consort Shu smugly winked at the Shi Sheng.
Without the status of Noble Consort, let's see how she can still be arrogant in the palace.
Shi Sheng's mouth twitched, but no one knew whether he was laughing or mocking him.
"Get out!" Yuwen Xun roared angrily as soon as he saw Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng didn't argue with Yuwen Xun. She only gave Shu Fei a meaningful look, then turned to leave the Hall of Declaring Peace.
Yuwen Xun stared at her back. His gaze was deep and serene, like that of a beast of prey.
Frightened by Yuwen Xun's appearance, Consort Shu hurriedly lowered her head, pretending that she hadn't seen anything.
Yuwen Xun told Shu Fei to rest well and left with Lu Ruo.
Consort Shu was so angry that her heart hurt. She had just defeated a Gui Fei, and now An Zhao Yi came.
Imperial Concubine Shu scolded Lu Ruo all the way from the Xuanhe Hall to her sleeping quarters.
"Niang niang, don't be angry. No matter what, An Zhao Yi is only a Zhao Yi. She can't surpass you." The person beside Consort Shu comforted her.
"This month, His Majesty stayed at her place for a few days. Now that she's a Zhao Yi, who knows when she'll climb up." Consort Shu gripped her handkerchief, her expression ruthless.
"Niang niang … this Gui Fei Yun …"
Consort Shu glared coldly, and the palace maid immediately changed her words. "Yun Zhao Yi was hard to deal with before because her position was too high. But now, apart from Consort De niang niang, you have the highest rank in the harem. Niang niang, are you still afraid of dealing with a mere Zhao Yi?"
Consort Shu's expression softened.
Of the four consorts, Hui De and Shu Xian, only Consort Hui had never been conferred a title. Consort De and Consort Xian had been by Yuwen Xun's side since he was still the Crown Prince.
But the most favored one was still her, the latecomer.
Consort Shu closed her eyes, thinking about how to deal with Lu Ruo.
"Yun Zhao Yi."
This low call caused Consort Shu's eyes to open abruptly.
On the curved bridge, Shi Sheng stood with a sword in his hand. The sparkling water of the pool flashed across the mirror-like surface of the Iron Sword, reflecting waves of cold light.
"Yun Zhao Yi, what do you want to do?" She actually dared to walk around the palace with a sword.
Shi Sheng approached Consort Shu's group with the sword. These eunuchs and palace maids didn't have any martial arts, so they all retreated.
The palace maids carrying the carriage were moving too fast, so Consort Shu had to grab onto the edge to prevent herself from falling.
"Zhuang Qiong, what do you want to do? You dare to use a weapon in the palace … Protect the Emperor, protect the Emperor! "Consort Shu was so frightened by Shi Sheng's menacing aura that her face turned pale.
Shi Sheng kicked aside the palace maids who were in his way. Under Consort Shu's terrified gaze, he used the Iron Sword to pierce through the bottom of the carriage.
"Ah!"
When the imperial guards arrived, they saw Consort Shu falling into the pool along with the carriage.
Shi Sheng stood in the middle of the bridge, watching Consort Shu flop around in the water.
"Didn't you say that I pushed you into the water? I fulfilled your wish. Does it feel good? "
Do you think I'm so easy to bully?
When the imperial guards arrived, the first thing they did was to rescue Consort Shu.
But Shi Sheng stood in their way, so they didn't dare to go over. They could only go down from the side to rescue Consort Shu.
By the time they were done, the main culprit was long gone.
Hearing that Consort Shu fell seriously ill after returning, Yuwen Xun flew into a rage and demoted Shi Sheng from Zhaoyi to Jie Yu.
He was definitely the first person in history to achieve this feat by being demoted several times in a day.
… …
"Your Majesty, other than the change in her temperament, there's nothing strange about Yun Jie Yu."
Yuwen Xun looked at the shadow guard kneeling on the ground. "Her habits, food, and clothes haven't changed at all?"
"Her food and clothes haven't changed, but her habits have. Yun Jie Yu hasn't been moving much recently. I heard that she's been sleeping most of the time."
The shadow guard paused, then gathered his courage and asked, "Your Majesty suspects that Yun Jie Yu has been … switched?"
"She's been very strange recently." Zhuang Qiong used to be arrogant, but she knew her limits. Now …
"Forgive this subordinate's boldness."
"Speak."
The shadow guard organized his words. "The palace is heavily guarded. It's easier said than done to switch someone. Moreover, if Yun Jie Yu really has been switched, she should imitate the original Yun Jie Yu, regardless of the reason. But now that Yun Jie Yu is making such a big fuss, won't it arouse suspicion? Women are fickle. It's not like there aren't any examples of temperament changes. "
"Under what circumstances would a person's temperament change?" Yuwen Xun frowned. That woman even dared to point a sword at him.
Was that a temperament change?
That was practically crazy.
"Usually, it's because she's been provoked …"
Provoked?
Yuwen Xun thought back. It seemed that the woman's temperament had changed during the cold war with him.
Could it be that their quarrel had provoked her?
Yuwen Xun muttered to himself for a moment. "No matter what, keep a close eye on her."
Regardless of whether she was provoked or really switched, there was only one outcome for her.
"Yes."
