Shi Sheng came out from behind the rockery and bumped into Xiao Xuan and the others who were rushing over.
"Your Highness!" Xiao Xuan saw Shi Sheng and felt relieved. Luckily, his highness didn't sneak out of the palace.
Shi Sheng brushed his skirt and said calmly, "There's a corpse over there. Take care of it."
Xiao Xuan was confused. "Huh?"
What corpse?
How long had she been separated from his highness? How could there be a corpse?
Your highness, what did you do behind my back!
Xiao Xuan asked someone to take a look at the place Shi Sheng pointed. Sure enough, a corpse was dragged out. The wound on the neck was still bleeding and dripping onto the ground, staining the ground red.
"Your highness … this?" Xiao Xuan was still calm when she saw the corpse.
It was normal for people to die in the palace. It was common for palace masters to kill palace maids and eunuchs.
But the way this palace maid died …
"I don't know who killed her." Shi Sheng lied through his teeth. "She died when I came."
Xiao Xuan: "…"
Your highness, can't you hide your expression when you're lying? Your expression clearly shows that you know!
Xiao Xuan looked at the corpse and then glanced at Shi Sheng. She ordered the people behind her, "Take care of it. Do it cleanly."
His highness didn't say how he died. If they didn't clean it up and someone saw it, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
…
Lian Manor, study.
Lian Chen held a folding fan and waved it. The handle of the folding fan was made of blood-red jade, but the surface of the fan was black. As it waved, there was a faint blood-red light flashing.
Beside him, someone was reporting something, but Lian Chen's expression was indifferent. His eyes were lowered, and it was unknown if he was listening.
"The eldest princess is very strict in the palace. The servants outside don't know much. Her personal servants are very tight-lipped and can't get anything out of them. But the eldest princess has changed recently, starting from when she came back from Shang Qing Temple. I also heard that the eldest princess has a sword. Duanmu Qi is investigating this sword. "
Lian Chen's hand paused and the fan stopped waving. The pure black surface of the fan was dotted with blood-red marks. It looked very strange.
"Sword?" Lian Chen's eyebrows raised slightly. His gorgeous face seemed to be able to steal people's souls.
The subordinate handed over a picture.
It was Shi Sheng's Iron Sword.
Lian Chen pressed the folding fan against the surface of the drawing and slowly slid down. The blade of the sword was revealed bit by bit.
This sword …
"What did Duanmu Qi find out?"
"No." The subordinate shook his head. "No one has seen this sword before. I took the initiative to look into it, but there was no news."
Duanmu Qi definitely had a motive for spending so much effort to investigate this sword.
The space was silent. After a long time, Lian Chen said slowly, "You may leave."
"Young master?" The subordinate was puzzled. Was he not going to investigate anymore?
Lian Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled. There seemed to be countless flowers blooming in his eyes, making his face even more gorgeous.
Since the person above had protected her so well, he wouldn't be able to find out much.
He had a feeling that his interaction with the eldest princess had just begun.
…
In the end, Yan Jinxiu's matter still spread in the circle. Even if it was only a little bit at the flower-admiring banquet, it was enough to make people talk about it.
In this era, other than the hands and face, if a woman's other parts were exposed, it would be considered unchaste and impure.
This kind of verbal rumor was not easy to investigate. Even if Yan Jinxiu was angry, she couldn't do anything about it. She could only endure it and secretly teach those who talked too much.
Shi Sheng only heard a few words about this. She was busy persuading that cheap father emperor to let her move out of the palace.
If she moved out of the palace, not only would it be inconvenient to work in the palace and watch the show, she would also miss a lot of good shows.
More importantly, she would have less contact with Lian Chen. There was no shortcut this time. She could only start with Lian Chen.
As long as Lian Chen agreed to marry her, she would go and talk to her cheap father emperor. Both sides would put pressure on each other and play a bit of bitterness. Her cheap father emperor might even agree.
If she ran now and asked her cheap father emperor to decree her to marry Lian Chen.
Her cheap father emperor would definitely chop her with a knife.
En, most importantly, she felt that Lian Chen wouldn't marry her so easily, so her cheap father emperor's opinion wasn't important.
What was important was that idiot Lian Chen.
After coaxing and pestering for a few days, Shi Sheng finally got the approval. Since the emperor favored her so much, the princess mansion naturally had to be rebuilt. But this was not the cultivation world. It could be done in minutes. It would take a long time for such a mansion to be built.
Shi Sheng chose an empty mansion near the Lian Residence. All she had to do was get someone to renovate it.
"This mansion has been empty for many years. Why did they suddenly start to renovate it?"
"Most of the people nearby have moved out. I don't know who was so stupid to come here."
The onlookers all looked at the opposite side in fear.
That was the territory of the Lian mansion. Shi Sheng chose a mansion diagonally opposite the Lian mansion. She could see the gate of the prime minister's mansion when she went out of the main entrance.
It wouldn't take long to renovate the mansion. When the mansion was finished, Shi Sheng refused to let the emperor send a large group of people to see her off.
But for auspicious reasons, he still made a simple ceremony.
"Your Highness, this is a gift from the Lian mansion." Xiao Xuan walked up to Shi Sheng with a long brocade box in her hands. She had a strange expression on her face. "Why would Prime Minister Lian give Your Highness a gift for no reason?"
Prime Minister Lian and the princess didn't have much interaction …
"We'll be neighbors in the future. Of course we have to build a good relationship." Shi Sheng took the brocade box and looked at it. It was a landscape painting signed by Lian Chen.
Shi Sheng: "…"
That's quite frugal.
Stingy!
"Your Highness, why did you choose this mansion? The Lian mansion … "It wasn't a good place!
Shi Sheng glanced at Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuan immediately lowered her head and didn't say anything else.
Her Highness's aura was getting stronger and stronger. Just one look and one movement was enough to make people afraid.
Shi Sheng had no idea what Xiao Xuan was thinking. She glanced at the landscape painting. She had never been interested in such elegant things, so she asked Xiao Xuan to put it away.
Xiao Xuan was about to take it away when Shi Sheng stopped her. "… Hang it up in the study."
Xiao Xuan looked at Shi Sheng in confusion. Her lips moved, but she didn't say anything. She curtsied and turned to leave.
Shi Sheng had already moved in for a month. During this time, she hadn't left the house. There were too many people following her around in this world. She couldn't even turn them down. Every time she left the house, it was like going to war.
Shi Sheng was tired of staying in the mansion for so long. He was ready to go out for some fresh air.
With a circle of servants, he swaggered out of the front door. Because she wanted to take a walk, she didn't ask anyone to prepare a carriage.
Just as he walked down the steps, he saw Lian Chen leisurely walk out of the residence, dragging his beautiful peach-colored robe. He was waving a black folding fan in his hand. He raised his eyes slightly and happened to see the young girl surrounded by servants.
She seemed to have just stood there. Her skirt was still swaying, and her eyes were as bright as stars, reflecting his gorgeous figure.
