The Iron Sword wasn't set up so that only Shi Sheng could wield it.
Even a three-year-old child could wield it.
But in Shi Sheng's mind, the people who could wield it were —
There were too many to count.
Of course, it was useless to wield it. Other than Shi Sheng, the others could only chop carrots and peel potatoes. They couldn't wield any of its power.
To a normal person, it was just a lousy Iron Sword.
Iron Sword: "…" You're the lousy Iron Sword.
Shi Sheng didn't immediately take back the Iron Sword.
How dare you take I's sword!
Then I'll serve that ancestor well.
Ming Jin walked out with the Iron Sword. The youth immediately went up to him and looked at the sword curiously. "Master, this sword …"
Where did it come from?
You'll be caught if you carry a sword in the palace.
Ming Jin covered the Iron Sword with his jacket and walked out very naturally.
… …
Shi Sheng was in a bad mood. He didn't linger in the Jade Pavilion and climbed out of the academy with a confused Tao Qin.
They'd just climbed down the wall when they heard footsteps behind them. Behind them was a long palace path with nowhere to hide.
Shi Sheng stood motionless. Tao Qin looked nervous, but she didn't dare to run.
If she ran behind them, they'd be discovered.
Soon, people came out from around the corner. It was Lu Ruo and a five- or six-year-old child.
The child was wearing a prince's robe. He was probably Yuwen Xun's only son.
"Yun Jie Yu …" Lu Ruo was shocked to see Shi Sheng standing in front of her.
Why was she here?
Wasn't she grounded by His Majesty? Even concubines couldn't appear here without permission.
She had His Majesty's permission to pick up the little prince here.
Shi Sheng glanced at her, then turned to leave.
"How dare you, Yun Jie Yu. You didn't even greet Her Majesty Zhaoyi."
Shi Sheng paused, then turned his head. "I didn't even greet His Majesty. You want me to greet her? Does she think she's as beautiful as a fairy? "
So you have to greet someone as beautiful as a fairy?
Lu Ruo stopped the palace servant from speaking and shook her head slightly.
Shi Sheng harrumphed coldly and swaggered away.
"Niang niang, she's a pure jade now, yet she dares to be so disrespectful to you. Why did you stop me just now? "
"Have you forgotten Consort Shu's lesson from last time?" She had directly thrown her into the water. Consort Shu had been bedridden for half a month.
This Zhuang Qiong was simply like a lunatic.
…
The Shi Sheng still lived in the former palace, but there were very few people in the palace.
She didn't see anyone serving her when she returned.
"Your Highness, don't be angry. When you're favored again in the future, we'll slowly deal with these people who act according to the wind …" Tao Qin complained.
Shi Sheng did not respond. She did not care about these people at all.
Shi Sheng asked after they entered the main hall.
"Who is Ming Jin? Do you know him? "
"Huh?" Tao Qin exclaimed in surprise. When she met Shi Sheng's gaze, she reacted. "Ming Jin? The young master we met just now is Young Master Ming? "
Ming Jin, the eldest son of the Xi Liang Kingdom, was sent to the East Jin Kingdom as a hostage twenty years ago.
It was said that he was still an infant at the time.
Sixteen years ago, he was sent to Yunyin Temple and only returned to the capital a year ago.
"It's said that Young Master Ming is handsome and confident. He's skilled in both civil and military matters, and is proficient in the four arts. It's a pity that he's not from the East Jin Kingdom. "
"A retard," Shi Sheng commented.
A slightly dangerous retard.
[…] So other than retards, there's only one more retard in the host's eyes? You're the best in the world. Why don't you go bomb the Milky Way? There's something wrong with the host's brain. Identification complete.
System, are you saying bad things about I?
The system was in a mess. The host has already unlocked the ability to decipher the system?
Tao Qin: "…" Master, do you know how many people in the capital want to marry this Young Master Ming?
That night, a group of imperial guards suddenly barged in.
Shi Sheng held a bowl and looked at the people who had barged in with a dumbfounded expression.
Imperial guards could be summoned just by eating a meal?
"Yun Jie Yu, His Majesty summons you for an audience."
Yuwen Xun, what are you up to now?
Where's I's sword?
Oh, right! The sword was snatched away by a retard.
When the imperial guards saw Shi Sheng continue eating, they couldn't help but mutter to themselves. Isn't this Yun Jie Yu too calm?
"Yun Jie Yu …"
Shi Sheng glared at them fiercely. "You're about to die, yet you're still letting us eat. What are you yelling about?"
Imperial guards: "…" You're not about to die either!
Perhaps because Shi Sheng was too fierce, the imperial guards really did wait for Shi Sheng to finish eating.
It was the Hall of Declaring Peace again.
When Shi Sheng entered, the already tense atmosphere became even more tense. It was as if the air had stopped flowing.
Yuwen Xun, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat at the head of the table with a dark expression. His eyes were sharp, and he exuded the aura of a bully.
Lu Ruo knelt on the ground, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs knelt beside her.
Shi Sheng raised his brows. What's going on?
"Yun Jie Yu, did you leave the imperial harem without permission today?" Yuwen Xun had probably given up on etiquette. Even if he punished her for her disrespect, it would be useless.
"No," Shi Sheng denied with a straight face.
Yuwen Xun was annoyed. "Someone saw it with their own eyes, yet you're still denying it."
Shi Sheng changed his words. "Then I did."
Everyone: "…" Your excuses are too insincere. You changed your words with just one sentence.
"And then?" Whatever blame he had, he could throw it all away. In any case, I had nothing to lose.
Yuwen Xun suppressed his anger. "Did you meet Jing 'er?"
Jing 'er?
Who?
Shi Sheng's mind spun several times before he realized.
The little prince's name was Yuwen Jing.
"I did."
Yuwen Xun slammed the table beside him. "Why did you poison Jing 'er? Zhuang Qiong, how did you become such a vicious woman? "
Vicious Shi Sheng: "…"
Shi Sheng sniffed. "Dare I ask … which idiot started this rumor?"
Although she was a scumbag, she was a high-quality scumbag. She'd never done anything to an innocent child, okay?
As a scumbag, she had to be a high-quality scumbag!
"The little prince didn't eat anything and didn't meet anyone suspicious. He only met Yun Jie Yu outside the academy and was poisoned when he returned," Shu Fei said leisurely.
In other words, she was saying that she was the one who poisoned him.
Shi Sheng sneered. "I was at least three feet away from him. May I ask, how could I have poisoned him from such a distance?"
Shu Fei was speechless for a few seconds. "Then you might have entered the academy."
Shi Sheng sized Shu Fei up. "You sound so certain. Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"How could I have seen it with my own eyes?"
"If you didn't see it with your own eyes, why are you so certain? I suspect that you're framing me! "
Would it be illegal for you to spout nonsense like this in other planes?
"I …" Shu Fei's face was red with anger. She turned to Yuwen Xun for help. "Your Majesty."
Yuwen Xun looked at Lu Ruo. "An Zhaoyi, tell me what happened when you met her."
Lu Ruo lowered her head. "Yes."

Shi Sheng: Where's my sword?
Ming Jin: It's with me. Come get it, Miss.
Shi Sheng: Why aren't you getting back here?
Iron Sword: I don't want to leave in front of a beauty.
Shi Sheng: … No!
