Shi Sheng really wanted to show him what it meant to be presumptuous.
But he caught a glimpse of that figure flashing past the corner of the street. Shi Sheng ignored Dugu Xiu and quickly chased after her.
Dugu Xiu raised his hand to stop his subordinate from chasing after her.
"Your Highness?" The subordinate didn't understand. This woman was so disrespectful to the Prince. How could he let her run away?
Dugu Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the street where Shi Sheng had disappeared. "Send someone to follow her and see what she's up to."
He had a feeling that this woman wasn't simple.
She didn't seem like a rich young lady trapped in a small county. She seemed more like someone who had seen a lot. There was always a kind of confidence in her, a confidence that bordered on arrogance.
It was as if there was nothing in this world that she couldn't do.
Dugu Xiu had never seen such a strange woman.
"Yes." The subordinate chased after Shi Sheng.
… …
Shi Sheng didn't catch up with that person. He ran to the busiest and busiest street. Shi Sheng instantly lost track of her.
Shi Sheng put his hands on his hips and sighed slightly.
This game was getting more and more interesting.
It was much more interesting than those stupid planes.
[Host, please correct your attitude. This isn't a game.] The system didn't want to remind her because it was useless.
"This isn't a virtual plane?"
[Yes.]
"Then why isn't it a game?"
[…] I actually have no words to refute.
Shi Sheng turned and walked towards the palace. Entering the palace might be difficult for others, but for Shi Sheng, it couldn't be any easier.
Shi Sheng found his way to the imperial study where the Emperor was. There were people guarding outside. Shi Sheng went to the back, knocked out the guard, and opened the window to look inside.
The first thing he saw was a group of women swaying their hips and the sound of traditional Chinese instruments.
A man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe was sitting crookedly on the dragon throne. He was a little fat and it was hard to tell if he was handsome or not. He hugged women on both sides and enjoyed the service of beauties.
Shi Sheng: "…" Damn!
The Emperor was really something. The Prince Regent was about to rebel, yet he was still in the mood to do such things in the Imperial Study.
It had always been rumored that the emperor was licentious and had a harem of three thousand beauties. It was quite impressive that such a retard could be the emperor for so many years.
Shi Sheng waited outside for a while. He was probably tired from playing. The emperor escorted the beauties to the back to rest. As for what to do …
Shi Sheng didn't want to say anything more.
Based on this point alone, she was certain that this fellow was definitely not Feng Ci.
Shi Sheng shook his head and left the Imperial Study. There were not many people in the Imperial Palace. Shi Sheng was not afraid of being seen, so he swaggered around the Imperial Palace.
Even if someone saw her, no one would suspect her since she was swaggering through the streets. There were many people in the palace to begin with. Sometimes, the children of ministers would enter the palace as well. It was normal for some people they didn't know to appear.
"In a few days, the one from the Residence of Zhenbei will enter the palace. I'm afraid we'll fall out of favor again." On a small path in the distance, a few people slowly appeared. Behind them were quite a few palace maids and eunuchs. Looking at their posture, they were probably the imperial concubines of the palace.
The imperial concubine to the side comforted the woman at the very front, "His Majesty likes the new and quickly gets tired of the old. She won't be favored for long. Big sister Imperial Concubine Li, you have a prince. What are you afraid of?"
"That's right. His Majesty is still young. Liking the young and beautiful is understandable, but it's different when it comes to imperial children. Big sister Imperial Concubine Li, you have a guarantee. How could it be like us?"
Imperial Concubine Li was a little happy to be praised by these imperial concubines, as she pursed her lips into a smile.
Shi Sheng watched this group of people walk away and shook his head with a strange expression.
Did any of these people truly like the Emperor?
Perhaps there were very few.
What they liked was glory and wealth, or perhaps they were forced into the palace and forced to fight for a man's favor.
Shi Sheng left the Imperial Palace and slowly walked in the direction of the inn.
Although the emperor was a good-for-nothing, he had the support of old officials. It was just that they had been weakened by Dugu Xiu over the past few years. It was possible that the emperor's faction was already lacking.
Then the one she needed to deal with was Dugu Xiu.
The male lead …
Shi Sheng walked and stopped. His speed was very slow, and the people following behind him were all anxious for him.
If you want to leave, then leave. If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. What's the point of walking and stopping?
Just as he was about to go crazy, the person in front of him suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He was shocked and quickly looked around. There was no place to hide on this street, and she shouldn't have been that fast. In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared.
"Looking for me?"
A light voice suddenly sounded above his head. He looked up and saw a young girl sitting on an Iron Sword that was floating in the air. Her legs were slightly swaying, and with the light behind her, he couldn't clearly see her expression.
The night wind blew past, blowing her hair.
The dark clouds above his head slowly dispersed, revealing the bright moon.
The moonlight scattered down, revealing her face clearly in front of him. She was a very beautiful girl. Her face was the size of a palm, her eyebrows were curved, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved.
"You, you …" That person directly fell out of the darkness.
Was this a person or a ghost? Or a demon?
How could a sword be floating in the air?
Shi Sheng jumped down from the Iron Sword and slowly approached that person with the Iron Sword. "Why did Dugu Xiu send you to follow me?"
The male lead, you look down on people too much. You sent such a retard to follow I.
Hearing Shi Sheng's question, that person's scalp exploded. He trembled and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I was just passing by. I didn't see anything. Let me go. "
When necessary, he had a special way to save his life.
"Let you go?" Shi Sheng sneered, "Are you dreaming?"
The Iron Sword was raised and slashed towards that person.
That person only felt a terrible chill pressing down on him. His body was frozen and couldn't move. The cold light gathered into a ball of light, magnifying in his eyes …
…
Regent's Residence.
Dugu Xiu stood under the corridor. The moonlight separated the courtyard and the corridor into two worlds.
"Your Highness, the person who followed Ruan Xiao Yang is dead."
The person kneeling behind Dugu Xiu reported in a low voice.
The space was silent. A gust of night wind blew, and the leaves in the courtyard rustled. The shadow on the ground also swayed, like a demon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
After a long time, Dugu Xiu's voice sounded, "How did he die?"
"A sword to the throat."
"Where did she go today?"
That person quickly replied, "She went around the palace for a while and disappeared for a while. Our people couldn't follow her. Later, she appeared outside the palace again. The people who followed her were already dead when they found her. She was nowhere to be found."
There was another silence. The person kneeling carefully raised his head and looked at the tall figure standing in front of him.
"Your Highness?"
Dugu Xiu raised his hand, "Let the shadow go."
"Do we need to send the shadow?" That person was surprised.
Dugu Xiu raised his head. His determined voice sounded in the silent corridor, "Kill with one blow."
He felt danger from Ruan Xiao Yang.
Dangerous things must be eradicated.
