Chapter 960 The Imperial Minister Is Proper (14)
Shi Sheng came out from behind the rockery and happened to meet Xiaoxuan and others who had found them in a hurry.
"Your Highness!" Xiaoxuan's heart dropped when she saw Shi Sheng. Fortunately, His Highness did not sneak out of the palace.
Shi Sheng brushed his skirt and said calmly: "There is a corpse over there, please take care of it."
Xiaoxuan was a little confused, "Huh?"
What corpse?
She and His Highness had only been separated for a short time, so why was there a body?
Your Highness, what did you do behind my back?
Xiaoxuan asked someone to look where Shi Sheng pointed, and sure enough, a corpse was dragged out. There was blood flowing from the wound on the neck, dripping to the ground, and the ground was scarlet.
"Your Highness...this?" Xiaoxuan was still calm after seeing the corpse.
It was normal for someone to die in the palace, and it happened from time to time that palace lords beat maids and eunuchs to death.
But the way this palace maid died...
"I don't know who killed him." Shi Sheng opened his eyes and lied. "He was dead when I came here."
Xiaoxuan: "..."
Your Highness, can you conceal your expression when you lie? Your expression clearly shows that you know!
Xiaoxuan looked at the body, then at Shi Sheng, and ordered the people behind her, "Dispose of it, deal with it cleanly."
Your Highness will not say how he died. If it is not dealt with properly, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble if others see him.
…
Lianfu, study.
Lian Chen held the folding fan and shook it. The handle of the folding fan was made of blood-colored jade, but the fan surface was black. There was a faint blood-red light and shadow flickering during the shaking.
There was a person next to him who was reporting something, but Lian Shen's expression was a little careless, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't know whether he listened or not.
"The palace of the eldest princess is very strict. The people who serve outside don't know much. The people who serve in person are very tight-lipped and can't ask anything. But the eldest princess has indeed had some changes recently, starting from returning from Shangqing Temple. I also heard that the eldest princess has changed a lot. There is a sword in the princess's hand, and Duanmuzhi is checking the sword."
Lian Shen paused, and the shaking fan stopped. The pure black fan was randomly dotted with red marks as red as blood, which looked particularly weird.
"Sword?" Lian Chen raised the ends of his eyes slightly, and his gorgeous face seemed to capture people's hearts.
The subordinate handed over a picture.
What is shown in the picture is Shi Sheng's iron sword.
Lian Chen pressed the folding fan against the drawing and slowly slid it down, revealing the sword body bit by bit.
This sword...
"What did Duanmuzhi find?"
"No." The subordinate shook his head, "No one has seen this sword. I checked it on my own, but there was no news."
Duanmuzhi must have had a purpose in going to great lengths to search for such a sword.
There was some silence in the space. After a long time, Lian Shen said softly, "Go down."
"Sir?" His subordinates were confused. Are they not investigating?
Lian Chen smiled with a smile on his lips, and there seemed to be countless flowers blooming in his eyes, making his face even more beautiful.
Since the one above protected her so well, he couldn't find much.
He had a hunch that his interaction with the eldest princess had just begun.
…
After all, Yan Jinxiu's story was still spreading in the circle. Even if she was naked at the flower viewing banquet, even if it was just a little, it was enough for people to talk about it.
In this era, apart from the hands and face, if any other part of a woman is exposed, it means she is unchaste.
It is difficult to check such rumors spread by word of mouth. Even if Yan Jinxiu is angry, she has no choice but to endure it and secretly teach those who speak harshly.
Shi Sheng only listened to a few words. She was busy convincing her cheap father to let her move out of the palace.
She has to move out of the palace. Not only will it be inconvenient for her to work and watch plays in the palace, she will also miss many good shows.
More importantly, she will have much less contact with Lian Chen. There is no shortcut this time, and she can only start with Lian Chen.
As long as Lian Chen agrees to marry her, and she goes to talk to her father, Pai Yi, and put pressure on both sides, and there is some drama, Pai Yi's father might still agree.
If she ran away now and asked her father to order her to marry Lian Chen.
My father would definitely kill her with a knife.
Well, the most important thing is that she feels that Lian Chen will not marry her so easily, so her father's opinion is not important.
The important thing is that Lian Shen is mentally retarded.
After several days of hard work, Shi Sheng got the approval. With the emperor doting on her so much, the princess's mansion would naturally have to be built. But this is not a world of cultivation. It can be done in minutes. It will take years and months to build the mansion. went.
Shi Sheng chose an empty mansion near Lian Mansion and asked someone to renovate it.
"This mansion has been empty for many years, why did it suddenly start to be renovated?"
"Everyone in the neighborhood has almost moved, and I don't know who would be so reluctant to come here."
The onlookers all looked at the opposite side in fear.
That side is the territory of Lian Mansion. Shi Shengxuan's mansion is diagonally opposite to Lian Mansion. When she goes out from the main entrance, she can see the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It would not take long to renovate the mansion. When the mansion was completed, Shi Sheng refused to send the emperor's troops to see him off.
But for the sake of good luck, a simple ceremony was performed.
"Your Highness, this is a congratulatory gift from Lian Mansion." Xiaoxuan walked up to Shi Sheng holding a long brocade box with a strange look on her face, "Why did Prime Minister Lian send His Highness a congratulatory gift for no reason?"
Even the Prime Minister and Her Royal Highness the Princess don’t have much interaction...
"We will all be neighbors from now on. 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 "Lian Shen".
Shi Sheng: "..."
This is also economical enough.
Stingy!
"Your Highness, why did you choose this place in the first place? This Lian Mansion..." is not a good place!
Shi Sheng glanced at Xiaoxuan, who immediately lowered her head and said no more.
His Highness's aura is getting stronger and stronger. Just a look or a movement is enough to make people fearful.
Shi Sheng had no idea what Xiaoxuan was thinking. She glanced at the landscape painting a few times. She had never been interested in such elegant things, so she asked Xiaoxuan to put it away.
Xiaoxuan was about to take it away when Shi Sheng stopped her again, "...hang it in the study."
Xiaoxuan looked at Shi Sheng doubtfully, her lips twitched, but she didn't make a sound. She blessed herself and turned around to go out.
It's been a month since Shi Sheng moved here, and she hasn't gone out during this period. There are too many people following her in this plane, and there are always a bunch of people. She can't refuse. Every time she goes out, it's like a war.
After staying in the mansion for a long time, Shi Sheng was a little tired and was ready to go out for some fresh air.
With a circle of servants, she walked out from the main gate. Because she wanted to take a walk, she didn't let anyone prepare the carriage.
As soon as he stepped down the steps, he saw Lian Chen dragging his gorgeous pink robe out of Shi Shiran's house, shaking a black folding fan in his hand. He raised his eyes slightly and saw the girl surrounded by servants.
She seemed to have just stood there, her skirt was still swaying, her starry eyes were calm, reflecting his gorgeous figure.
