Shi Sheng and Grand Tutor Qi were happily eating melon seeds, and the male and female lead's performance was also very good.
Yan Jinxiu insisted that she didn't know who did it. Red Lady didn't want to ruin her reputation, and Juxian Lou wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Duanmu Qi wanted to seek justice for Yan Jinxiu, so he would investigate this matter.
At that time, there were people from Juxian Lou waiting in the changing room. As long as they interrogated carefully, it wouldn't be difficult to find out who did it.
A good flower appreciation banquet turned into a joint investigation.
One by one, the servants were interrogated, and in the end, they locked onto three girls.
Two of them were the group of girls who invited Yan Jinxiu, and one of them was Miss Lin.
It was reasonable to say that Miss Lin was the most suspicious because she was eliminated by Yan Jinxiu. However, Miss Lin was with her people at that time, and she met another girl on the way back, so she didn't go to the changing room.
As for why Miss Lin went to the back, only she knew.
In the end, only the two girls were left as suspects.
Under Duanmu Qi's interrogation, one of the girls couldn't help but betray the other. After that, both sides shirked their responsibilities, and in the end, they dragged the other two girls down.
"People's hearts are not what they used to be." Grand Tutor Qi shook his head and sighed.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still munching on melon seeds, he would have looked like a well-respected elder.
Shi Sheng looked at Duanmu Qi punishing those people, and said faintly, "For selfish desires, there's nothing that people don't dare to do."
"Your Highness, you see clearly." Grand Tutor Qi praised.
Shi Sheng smiled but didn't say anything. He wasn't bragging, but he had seen more people than he had eaten.
Red Lady glanced sideways, as if she was sizing up Shi Sheng and Grand Tutor Qi. When Shi Sheng looked over, Red Lady immediately turned her gaze and looked at Duanmu Qi as if nothing had happened.
This matter wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. They were all daughters of officials, and if they wanted to escalate it, it could make the two families fight.
Duanmu Qi couldn't casually punish them, so he could only ask for Yan Jinxiu's opinion.
Because there were so many people, Yan Jinxiu couldn't punish them too harshly. She could only sullenly let them apologize.
Originally, by taking revenge herself, she could let them know the consequences of offending her.
Now that the three parties had interfered and caused the situation to become like this, Yan Jinxiu's good impression of Duanmu Qi that had just risen instantly fell to zero.
The Flower-Admiring Banquet could not be held any longer. Everyone went back to their own homes and looked for their mothers.
"Farewell, Your Highness."
Shi Sheng's identity was the most honorable, so he naturally went first. When he arrived at the edge of the deck, the boat was already prepared. Just as Shi Sheng stepped on the wooden ladder connecting the two boats, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the water. The wooden ladder was kicked away and Shi Sheng was almost dragged into the water.
At the same time, a group of black-clothed men rushed out from all around the pleasure boat. The sound of water splashing could be heard, and a sense of crisis was pressing in.
The black-clothed men landed on the pleasure boat and attacked Shi Sheng without a word. Naturally, Shi Sheng was attacked as well.
Shi Sheng was speechless. How did he get shot even when he was lying down?
Where is I's sword?
Shi Sheng took out his Iron Sword and blocked the attack of the black-clothed man. He scolded angrily, "What's wrong with you? Kill whoever you want. Why are you attacking I!"
These people were definitely not targeting her. After all, she had not offended anyone and was not the next Crown Prince.
The men in black were speechless. Who let you stand so close to them? If they didn't attack you, who would they attack?
The men in black saw that Shi Sheng did not have much intention to fight, so they decisively gave up on her and ran into the pleasure boat.
Shi Sheng directly jumped into the empty boat below.
How do I row the boat? It seems like I need to use a paddle. Where is the paddle? Shi Sheng looked around the boat but did not see anything similar to a paddle.
Damn! Does I have to row with my hands?
"Your Highness …" Grand Tutor Qi stood at the edge and waved at Shi Sheng.
"Jump!"
Grand Tutor Qi looked down. The distance was a little high. His legs trembled. "Your Highness … I …"
Just when Grand Tutor Qi was hesitating, a person bumped into him from behind and directly knocked him down. With a splash, he fell into the water.
Shi Sheng was speechless. What a retarded Grand Tutor Qi.
Shi Sheng picked up Grand Tutor Qi. Grand Tutor Qi's whole body was soaked and his old face was pale. He was scared to death!
"Do you know how to row the boat?" Shi Sheng stopped beside Grand Tutor Qi and asked him calmly.
Grand Tutor Qi's brain was probably flooded with water. He was a little confused. After a while, he sat up while trembling. "Yes."
"Your Highness, where is the paddle?" Grand Tutor Qi looked around but could not find the paddle. He could only ask Shi Sheng.
"How would I know?" Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. When she came down, there was no paddle.
Grand Tutor Qi was speechless. Then how to row the boat?
Just when the two of them were staring at each other, another person jumped into the boat. The boat swayed from side to side and Grand Tutor Qi almost fell into the boat.
"Go!" Red Lady, who was at the bow of the boat, shouted at Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng and Grand Tutor Qi both looked at her in silence.
If it wasn't for the fierce fighting above, Red Lady would have thought that she was not running for her life but was enjoying the scenery instead.
This old man and this young woman were too calm!
Grand Tutor Qi coughed. "There is no paddle."
Red Lady was speechless.
Red Lady used her internal energy to send the boat to the shore. Just then, the imperial guards arrived and surrounded Shi Sheng and Grand Tutor Qi. Red Lady took the opportunity to leave and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Your Highness, please punish this subordinate for being late to the rescue."
Shi Sheng glared at the imperial guards. "Who told you that I was here?"
The imperial guards glanced at Grand Tutor Qi. The wet Grand Tutor Qi immediately received Shi Sheng's cold gaze. He shivered. "Ouch."
Grand Tutor Qi closed his eyes and fell to the side of the imperial guards who happened to catch him.
Grand Tutor Qi, you even know how to pretend to faint.
Shi Sheng waved his hand with black lines on his forehead. "Send Grand Tutor Qi back."
"Yes."
After sending Grand Tutor Qi away, the imperial guards nervously looked at Shi Sheng. "Your Highness, it's dangerous here. Your Highness, please leave."
"You're not going to help?" Normally, shouldn't these people go and help?
The imperial guards said in a serious tone, "We are only responsible for protecting Your Highness. Your Highness, please leave."
"Let's watch the show." She didn't want to leave. If she left, there would be no show to watch. "Bring me a chair."
Imperial Guards: "…"
Shi Sheng didn't want to leave. The imperial guards had no choice but to bring her a chair according to her order and surrounded her with three layers of people.
When the city guards arrived, they saw a large group of imperial guards standing on the shore and watching the show.
The city guards were responsible for the security of the capital. The imperial guards were responsible for the security of the imperial palace. The two armies had nothing to do with each other. Therefore, when the imperial guards stood here and watched the show, they couldn't say anything.
