Yuwen Xun was busy dealing with the natural disaster and didn't have time to bother with Shi Sheng. Shi Sheng didn't bother to show off either and just stayed in his palace all day, eating and drinking as he pleased.
The Zhuang Family took advantage of the chaos to do many things.
Zhuang-fu even had someone bring in some food and told Shi Sheng to think of a way to feed it to Yuwen Xun.
Seeing that it was about time, Shi Sheng swaggered over to Yuwen Xun to redeem his promise.
Yuwen Xun had suppressed this news back then, probably thinking that even if Shi Sheng was right, he wouldn't have to admit it.
But Yuwen Xun hadn't expected Shi Sheng to barge into the throne room.
Even the imperial guards behind him couldn't stop him.
Zhuang-fu was also astonished. He clearly didn't know why Shi Sheng had barged in at this time.
Compared to the confused ministers, Yuwen Xun was much calmer.
"Zhuang Qiong, what are you trying to do by bringing a sword to the throne room?" The emperor's faction immediately stood out to berate Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng held the Iron Sword and tilted his head slightly to look at the scolding old man. A faint smile spread across his face. "I'm not going to do anything to you. Don't be nervous."
"You, you, you …"
"Lord Zhuang, what a good daughter you've raised! She even dares to bring a sword to the throne room. Is your Zhuang Family thinking of rebelling? "
"Lord Song, don't make false accusations. This official is loyal to His Majesty and has no other intentions." Zhuang-fu immediately expressed his loyalty.
"That's enough, all of you." Shi Sheng pointed his Iron Sword at the people who were about to quarrel. They immediately fell silent.
No one spoke. Shi Sheng put down the Iron Sword in satisfaction. "Why is everything related to rebelling? If I wanted to rebel, would he still be sitting here?"
Everyone: "…" Isn't he being too conceited?
"Your Majesty, Yun Jie Yu has no regard for the law and is arrogant, despotic, and rude. This official requests that Yun Jie Yu be punished for her great disrespect."
"This official agrees!"
"This official agrees!"
"This official …"
A group of people seconded the motion for Yuwen Xun to drag Shi Sheng out and behead him.
Zhuang-fu's face darkened as he stared at Shi Sheng, very dissatisfied with his current actions.
"Your Majesty, when will you fulfill your promise?" Shi Sheng ignored the group of ministers who seconded the motion.
Yuwen Xun raised his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down.
Yuwen Xun looked at the arrogant woman below, and his expression changed unpredictably. This woman …
A long while later, Yuwen Xun finally spoke under everyone's puzzled gazes, "Revoke Yun Jie Yu's title."
The ministers below were overjoyed.
Father Zhuang stepped forward, but before he could speak, Yuwen Xun's voice rang out again. "The Zhuang family's first daughter, Zhuang Qiong … has been conferred the title of State Preceptor."
Yuwen Xun really couldn't find any words to describe her.
The hall was silent for a few seconds.
Then, the entire Imperial Court exploded.
How could a woman be the State Preceptor? Or a woman from the harem?
What ability could she possibly have?
One had to know that although the State Preceptor didn't have any real power, he still had to be capable.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" A group of old officials knelt on the ground and wailed.
Yuwen Xun felt stifled.
Do you think he's willing?
If this woman really had that kind of ability, he wouldn't dare to offend her.
He was the emperor, but he was not a god.
"Your Majesty …"
"Enough!" Yuwen Xun slammed the table.
Many people below immediately fell silent out of fear.
Shi Sheng successfully ascended to the throne of State Preceptor amidst all the angry, surprised, shocked, and treacherous gazes.
It felt good to be the country's quack.
When he left the throne room, Father Zhuang wanted to stop Shi Sheng. Shi Sheng didn't want to get tangled up with Father Zhuang, so he took advantage of the moment Father Zhuang came over and fled.
The State Preceptor had a special residence, so Shi Sheng moved from the harem to the State Preceptor's residence.
When he moved, a group of concubines from the harem came to watch.
Perhaps no one in history had ever been promoted from a concubine to a State Preceptor.
She was a concubine, but she didn't work hard for the throne of the empress and actually became some State Preceptor. Wasn't there something wrong with her?
The crazy Shi Sheng carried a small bundle out of the bedchamber.
A group of girls pointed at her and whispered among themselves.
Shi Sheng flung the bundle over his shoulder and waved at the eunuch waiting outside.
The eunuch immediately led the way in the direction of Zhai Xing Lou.
"Why do you think His Majesty agreed to such a rude request?"
"A woman to be the State Preceptor? Just wait to be impeached by those old officials. Just wait and see, it won't be long before she … "The woman made a beheading gesture.
They didn't have a high status in the first place, so they didn't dare to have any other ideas except to be a good wife.
No matter what method she used to become the State Preceptor, there were plenty of people who wanted to pull her down.
They just needed to watch.
Zhai Xing Lou wasn't far from Lin 'an Academy, which was what Shi Sheng wanted. It was convenient for her to go to the Jade Pavilion.
As for Weiyang Palace?
She didn't know what it was.
There were only two servants in Zhai Xing Lou, and Shi Sheng didn't like too many people, so two servants were enough.
She either went to the Jade Pavilion as the State Preceptor or looked at the stars and moon in Zhai Xing Lou and thought about life.
This simple life made a group of people gnash their teeth in hatred.
Some people also wanted to do something to Shi Sheng.
However, many people couldn't even enter Zhai Xing Lou. Some people who did enter were thrown out in the end.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people dared to do anything to Shi Sheng, and Zhai Xing Lou became more and more strange.
…
Zhai Xing Lou was especially gloomy at night. Lu Ruo carefully avoided the patrolling guards and crept to the outside of Zhai Xing Lou.
She looked up at the two-meter-tall wall, her face full of bitterness. How was she going to get up?
Yuwen Xun was getting more and more difficult to please recently. He would turn hostile at the slightest disagreement, and the concubines in the harem kept finding fault with her. She just wanted to leave this damned place as soon as possible.
The System said that Zhuang Qiong had something that could help it level up, so she had to do anything to get back.
Lu Ruo took a deep breath, rubbed her hands, found a better place to climb, and climbed up the wall little by little.
She sat on the wall with her legs spread apart. Lu Ruo continued to take deep breaths and was about to jump down when she heard a voice behind her.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Ruo's body staggered and fell straight down, smashing onto the cold ground. Her entire person was stunned from the fall.
"It hurts …" Her waist must have been broken.
It hurts!
Lu Ruo lay on the ground and could see the wall she was sitting on.
A black figure was sitting on the wall.
"Zhuang … Qiong?" Lu Ruo said hesitantly. That voice should be her.
Why was she sitting on the wall in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
No, there wasn't anyone on the wall when she climbed up.
Then when did she come?
She didn't notice at all.
Shi Sheng jumped down from the wall and landed silently. Lu Ruo was shocked again.
Shi Sheng, who was pretending to be cool, looked down at Lu Ruo. "Why are you climbing I's wall in the middle of the night?"
I didn't provoke this female lead-sama recently.
I didn't even provoke the male lead, so why did the female lead-sama come knocking on my door?
Lu Ruo clutched her aching waist and got up. She retorted with some resentment, "Why are you sitting on the wall and scaring me?"
Shi Sheng snorted. "This wall is my territory. I can sit on it whenever I want. You're the one who got scared because you're mentally weak. How can you blame I? Why are you climbing I's wall for no reason? "
"You …" Mentally weak? She was the one who appeared silently, yet she scared her.
