Compared to Ming Jin, she liked Lian Chen more. Although he was guarded against her, he didn't try to hide it.
He wasn't like that idiot Ming Jin. Just thinking about it made her angry.
"Your Highness?" Lian Chen reminded her.
Shi Sheng gathered her scattered thoughts and stared at Lian Chen with a smile. "Prime Minister Lian, you don't have to be so guarded against me. I won't do anything to you. Of course, you won't believe me, but that's fine. One day, you'll believe me."
Lian Chen was stunned, his heart filled with confusion.
What did she want?
She helped him deal with the corpse in the palace, and now she was saying this.
Shi Sheng's gaze suddenly landed on the pleasure boat in the distance. The boat was surrounded by gauze, but the wind on the lake blew the gauze, allowing her to see the scene inside the boat.
Yan Jinxiu …
She had just gotten into trouble here last time, but she still dared to go to the lake.
As expected of the female lead, her guts were quite big.
Just as Shi Sheng was complaining, an accident happened. Someone suddenly started fighting on the boat. The boat swayed more and more, tilting to one side and capsizing.
Two figures rushed out of the pleasure boat and began to fight on the surface of the lake.
At that moment, a few more people broke out of the water and came forward to help.
This world full of assassins was a mystical one!
The assassin profession had a lot of potential.
Should she go and open an assassin organization? The officials promised that all five licenses were complete. That was good!
She didn't understand why these people liked to hide in the water. Couldn't they just blow up the boat? Why did they have to do it themselves? What a joke!
The fight was fierce. Lian Chen observed Shi Sheng from the side for a moment.
This eldest princess was very different from before. Facing this kind of situation, she was too calm. It wasn't an act. There was no emotion in her eyes, as if it was all a show.
He sensed danger from her.
"Your Highness." He really couldn't understand this eldest princess. It was best if he didn't interact with her in the future. "It's dangerous here. This humble subject will send Your Highness back home."
"Eh?" She was going back just like that? The show wasn't over yet. "Wait a moment."
Lian Chen followed her gaze and looked at the lake. That person from the Yan Family …
He had heard that this person had taken a liking to Duanmu Qi in the past, but recently, Duanmu Qi and Yan Jinxiu had gotten closer. Did she stay because of this?
Lian Chen felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know why.
"If Your Highness likes it, you can have His Majesty issue an edict. Junwang Ye will not dare to disobey an edict." Lian Junwang's deep voice was slightly muffled by the distant sounds of fighting.
Shi Sheng glanced at her with a cold look on his face. "What did you say?"
Lian Chen respectfully repeated, "If Your Highness likes it, you can have His Majesty issue an edict. Junwang Ye wouldn't dare to disobey."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the girl opposite him snicker. Under the flickering light, a clear fragrance wafted over. "Prime Minister Lian, is that really what you think?"
Her voice was cold for no reason, but it was also extremely calm, without any ripples.
This retard actually dared to ask her to marry, ah pui, marry someone else?
Lian Chen frowned slightly. A thought flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it. What was he trying to test?
"Answer my question. Is that really what you think?"
Every word seemed to have smashed into his heart, causing him to tremble.
Lian Chen took a deep breath and suppressed his irritation. "Your Highness, this humble official has overstepped the rules."
Shi Sheng reached out and twirled a strand of hair in front of his chest. His voice was cold. "Think carefully before you speak next time."
Lian Chen's lowered gaze happened to land on the back of Shi Sheng's white hand. He could clearly see the meridians under the skin. He closed his eyes and said slowly, "This humble official understands."
Shi Sheng let go of that strand of hair and turned to look at the lake again.
The fighting on the lake was nearing its end. Yan Jinxiu stood on the overturned pleasure boat, dripping wet. Duanmu Qi finished off the last person. He tapped lightly on the lake with the tip of his foot and swept across the water. He hugged Yan Jinxiu and brought her from the lake to the shore.
The two of them landed right where Shi Sheng was.
Duanmu Qi raised his head and met Shi Sheng's calm eyes. His heart jumped. Why did he meet her again!
His gaze turned and fell on the pink figure, and his heart began to beat wildly.
Lian Chen!
Why was he with this woman?
Yan Jinxiu's face was pale. Her gaze quickly swept over Lian Chen. She wanted to bow to Shi Sheng, but Duanmu Qi held her up and prevented her from bowing.
"Junwang Ye is in such a good mood." Shi Sheng spoke first. "Playing such an exciting game on the lake with a beauty."
It was hard to tell whether his tone was mocking or mocking. In any case, it was not pleasant to hear.
"Princess, there's no need to be sarcastic." Duanmu Qi's expression was ugly. He was even more suspicious. Why was it so coincidental every time?
Duanmu Qi suddenly believed the steward's words.
There was nothing that a woman who hated because of love wouldn't do.
"I already said it. What can you do to me?" Shi Sheng arrogantly raised his brows. He looked as if he wanted to be slapped to death.
This was definitely a provocation.
Duanmu Qi's gaze swept over Lian Chen, who had his head lowered. He laughed coldly. "Princess, don't play with fire."
No matter the reason, getting involved with Lian Chen would not end well in the end.
Shi Sheng could obviously tell what he was implying. He retorted without holding back, "Junwang Ye, don't ask for trouble."
"Aiya." Shi Sheng suddenly called out sarcastically. He also dodged to the side.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh —
A few small arrows shot out from the side of the flower bush. By the time Duanmu Qi realized it, it was already over. An arrow hit his back.
Duanmu Qi staggered. His gaze suddenly became fierce. He turned around and jumped into the bush. He raised his sword and blood splattered onto the red peonies, making them even more beautiful.
"Pfft — —" Duanmu Qi killed the person who ambushed him. He spat out a mouthful of blood. His knees went weak and he knelt on one knee.
"Junwang Ye?" Yan Jinxiu exclaimed and quickly went to support him.
"Junwang Ye, it looks like you didn't kill everyone just now." Shi Sheng continued to make sarcastic remarks.
When the protagonist killed someone, there would always be a few fish that escaped the net.
When the antagonist killed someone, the protagonist would always escape the net.
It was simply poisonous!
"Cough cough …" The arrow was probably poisonous. Duanmu Qi's face was already green. He could not reply to Shi Sheng's words.
Duanmu Qi's people just happened to arrive at this time. They quickly took Duanmu Qi away. Before Yan Jinxiu left, her gaze swept over Lian Chen and Shi Sheng.
Damn, the retarded female lead wanted to cause trouble again.
Shi Sheng tilted his head and walked over to Lian Chen. "Prime Minister Lian's fan is quite sturdy."
Lian Chen stood in the same spot. The fan in his hand was already open, exposing the black surface of the fan to the air. A hidden arrow lay quietly by his feet.
It was pricked by a hidden arrow, but there was not even a mark.
Lian Chen closed the fan with a swish. "Your Highness is too kind. It's just to save my life."
Shi Sheng smiled at Lian Chen. "Prime Minister Lian, why don't you give it to me?"
