Chapter 333 : It’s Not Easy Being the Head of Household 17 (1/2)
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Prime Minister is here!”
The cries from outside interrupted the two people entwined atop the dragon bed.
“Your Majesty…” The man beneath the Empress held onto her, as he cried coquettishly.
The Empress was even more aroused by his cries. As the saying went, women became starving tigers when they reached the ages of 30 to 40. As the Empress happened to be in this age range…she couldn’t be bothered about something like the Prime Minister’s appearance right now.
“Make her wait.” The Empress gave an almost unintelligible order, before beginning yet another round of intimacy with the man.
“Prime Minister, you can’t enter— Oof—”
“Quickly! Stop the Prime Minister!”
If the Empress could still carry on with all the noise from outside, she would be a ‘champ’ alright.
The Empress furiously put on her clothes and got off the bed.
Shi Sheng had already dealt with the guards outside and reached the inner chambers.
“Ah!” The moment Shi Sheng entered, shrieks sounded out.
The room was filled with a thick fog of aphrodisiac that irritated Shi Sheng’s eyes the moment she entered.
The shrieks had come from the barely clothed men lying around, who desperately sought hiding places upon her entry.
‘Looks like lustfulness runs in the family.’
“Prime Minister!” The Empress grit her teeth and glared at the intruder. “We(z) are not dead yet! Are you planning to overthrow us(z) by barging into our(z) chambers?!”
‘Overthrow you your head! Do I appear that idle?’
“Where is Ling Yue’s sword?”
“Sword?” The Empress’ expression became rather odd from the unexpected turn of events.
‘She barged into my palace in the middle of the night to ask about a sword?’
The Empress wished to express her disbelief.
“Prime Minister…”
“Where’s the sword?” Shi Sheng interrupted the Empress impatiently.
She felt like every second she remained here was tainting her eyes and letting her waifu down. And that wouldn’t do.
The Empress frowned. Her gaze swept over the sword in Shi Sheng’s hand, before she ordered someone to fetch Ling Yue’s sword.
The person that had been sent tremblingly approached Shi Sheng and presented her the sword.
Shi Sheng checked to make sure it really was Ling Yue’s sword, before she left without giving the Empress a second look.
‘She left just like that? She really left? She really was only here for a sword?’
Only once Shi Sheng’s figure vanished from the palace, did the Empress truly believe that this crook of a Prime Minister really had come for a mere sword.
The Empress wanted to order guards to kill her, but Shi Sheng had clearly proven her strength during the Heaven’s Ritual.
‘Would those useless shits in the palace even be able to kill her? Best to not make her mad and really lose everything.’
……
Shi Sheng promised to bring Ling Yue back to Mt. Wanyuan, and she kept her word. The next day, she had a carriage readied and brought Ling Yue out of the city.
The only other person she brought was Ying Yue.
Shi Sheng and Ling Yue were left staring at each other in the carriage.
A moment later, Shi Sheng took out his sword and handed it over. “Here.”
Ling Yue stared at it for three whole seconds before taking it from her. ‘Is this the reason why she asked about my sword yesterday…?’
“You’re not afraid that I’ll use it against you?” ‘She handed my sword to me…just like that? Is she really not worried at all?’
Shi Sheng had a doting expression on her face. “As long as you’re happy.”
‘You need sufficient combat ability if you want to beat me(bbb) anyways!’
Ling Yue, “…” ‘No way to communicate with her…’
The carriage soon reached Mt. Wanyuan.
Ling Yue wanted to climb the stairs, so Shi Sheng had no choice but to accompany him.
They hadn’t even made it halfway up, before Shi Sheng was panting from the exertion.
Ling Yue showed no hint of fatigue while waiting for her a few steps ahead, his face cold as he watched the woman sitting on the ground without care for her image.
Though god knows how much he felt like collapsing on the inside.
