Chapter 967: The Royal Minister Is Proper (21)
Yan Jinxiu and the girl were left on the boat, and the girl asked the government officials to drive the boat away.
The distance between the two ships gradually widened, and the figures on the deck became smaller and smaller. In the end, nothing could be seen.
"What to do now? Miss Yan is still up there."
"Follow me and we must rescue Miss Yan."
"Easy to say..."
People from the government gathered around to discuss countermeasures. Shi Sheng brought out a chair from somewhere and sat on it to eat melon seeds.
After the official people finished discussing it, they turned around and saw this scene.
Everyone: "..." Your Highness, you are too leisurely. They are not on vacation now! Can you bring out a little tension!
"boom!"
The violent explosion shocked everyone, aftershocks came from the deck beneath their feet, the river shook more violently, and flames shot into the sky in the distance.
Exploded...exploded?
Shi Sheng's hand while eating melon seeds also stopped.
She swore she didn't do anything.
The explosion had nothing to do with her.
…
After the explosion, the government sent people to salvage the river. Yan Jinxiu was found downstream, but she was knocked unconscious. She was not seriously injured and soon woke up.
Shi Sheng later found out that Duanmuzhi was responsible for this matter. No wonder he was able to invite Yan Jinxiu, the heroine.
After Yan Jinxiu woke up, the first thing she did was to complain to Duanmuzhi about Shi Sheng's evil deeds.
Duanmuzhi already knew what happened from other people. This matter was originally ordered by the emperor to investigate. Who knew it would be such a coincidence. With Shi Sheng making such a fuss, everything he had done before was in vain.
Duanmuzhi brought this matter directly to the emperor.
Just when the emperor was relieved to find his daughter, Duanmuzhi sent such a big news.
Shi Sheng came back alone. The emperor had no idea that Shi Sheng had been kidnapped. After hearing Duan Muzhi's words, instead of punishing Shi Sheng, the emperor scolded Duan Muzhi.
Duanmu Qi came out with a livid face and bumped into Shi Sheng standing outside. The sullenness in his eyes flashed past, he snorted heavily and left with a puff of sleeves.
Shi Sheng silently raised his middle finger.
"Your Highness." A soft voice sounded from behind.
Shi Sheng calmly retracted his hand, turned his head, and the strong color jumped into his sight.
The man stood quietly holding a fan, his eyebrows were lowered, and his outline was covered with a layer of soft light, just like a model. He was the only color in this shot.
"Prime Minister Lian." Shi Sheng arched his eyebrows, and his playful eyes swept over him, "One day without seeing you is like three autumns!"
"Your Highness, watch your words." Lian Chen raised his eyes slightly and made eye contact with Shi Sheng.
"This is just a normal greeting." Shi Sheng spread his hands, "Where did the Prime Minister even think of going?"
Lian Chen: "..." There was something wrong with what she said. Why did he think of somewhere?
He was silent for a while, "I heard that His Highness was kidnapped. Is His Highness injured?"
"Do you feel bad if I'm hurt?"
Lian Chen smiled slightly and said, "Wei Chen will naturally worry about His Highness. This is Wei Chen's duty."
Shi Sheng curled his lips and said, "No."
When Shi Sheng said no, Lian Chen suddenly felt relieved for some reason. It felt really weird. He didn't like this feeling of being out of control.
Lian Shen lowered his head and said in a slightly lower voice, "I still have something to discuss with His Majesty, so I'll take my leave first."
Lian Chen dragged his gorgeous clothes around Shi Sheng and went into the palace.
…
When Lian Shen came out, it was raining outside, and it was already summer. The rain was falling fiercely, and the sky was dark and seemed to be suppressing it.
He looked up at the dark cloudy sky, and the rain blown by the wind hit his face, which was a bit cold.
"You can't even think about it, Prime Minister? Do you want to cool down in the rain?" A joking voice sounded from the side.
Lian Shen's subconscious reaction, what does not thinking about it have to do with going to cool down in the rain?
The second reaction was that it was Shi Sheng's voice.
Lian Chen slowly turned his head and saw clearly the girl standing at the end of the corridor. She was alone, the cold wind blew the hem of her skirt, and the low sky behind her was very gloomy and depressing.
The girl's face was calm, and her eyes were like a thousand-year-old cold pool, without any ripples, but exuding bursts of cold air, forcing people to dare not look at her.
That was not the look a seventeen-year-old girl should have.
Lian Chen suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned around and walked a few steps into the corridor, "Your Highness hasn't left the palace yet?"
"Waiting for you." The cold light in her eyes seemed to melt instantly, and a shallow halo of light spread in her pupils, causing slight ripples. "We are on the way, so we can go back together."
Lian Chen couldn't refute because they were indeed on their way.
Lian Chen wanted to keep a distance from Shi Sheng, but his behavior was always a little out of control, "Your Highness, please."
Shi Sheng came from the end of the corridor and walked down the steps with her skirt in hand. The palace maid waiting beside her immediately ran up with an umbrella to cover Shi Sheng from the rain.
Lian Chen held up his own umbrella and followed behind. The rain curtain blocked his sight, and the figures in front of him were a little blurry.
Lian Chen remembered what the emperor had just said to him, and walked a few steps quickly to close the distance between the two of them, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said, do you want me to be your Taifu?"
Shi Sheng glanced slightly sideways, "Well, why, even the Prime Minister doesn't want to?"
Lian Chen frowned slightly, "Your Highness, I am busy with official duties, so I am afraid I cannot teach you. Taifu Qi is at home at home, so it is most appropriate for him to teach you."
"But I just want you!" Mr. Qi, who was addicted to melon seeds, had tricked her last time, and she didn't want to see him at all.
He took a deep breath.
That sentence made his heart rate increase for some reason.
He lowered his head to block the unnatural expression on his face, and his voice was cut into pieces by the sound of rain, "Thanks to His Highness's great love, I can't bear it."
"In this world, you are the only one who can bear it."
The girl's voice seemed to come from a far away place. It was ethereal and ethereal, breaking through the rain curtain. It hit his ears clearly and penetrated deep into his heart. The sound lingered in his ears.
Lian Shen suddenly took two steps back, and there was a hint of evasion in his tone unconsciously, "Your Highness, please ask Gao Ming. I will take my leave first."
He couldn't have anything to do with her anymore.
Even Shen held an umbrella and left very quickly, and the sound of rain could not wash away the panic in his heart at this time.
Lian Chen returned to the house, and the clothes on his body were soaked without knowing it, clinging to his body, and wisps of coolness rushed into his body.
He gradually calmed down, she was just a woman, how could he have such a big mood swing because of her.
"Master, why don't you take the sedan and walk back?"
Lian Chen lowered his head and glanced at the soaked clothes on his body. The folding fan in his hand was still dripping with water. His eyes darkened slightly, "Nothing, prepare hot water."
The man hesitated and said, "Yes."
Sir, what's going on? The look of being distracted...
Could it be that the emperor is making things difficult for the young master again?
