Chapter 1178: All The Careerists (8)
My little demon.
Ming Shu scolded in secret.
Had he—or she—gotten their memory back?
Why else would this princess be so proactive?
Seeing more and more people gather together, Ming Shu let go of her. “Now that everything is fine, I may retreat now, Your Highness.”
Jing Yu gave a weird look to Ming Shu.
She had not heard Lady speak so respectfully for a long time.Her Royal Highness was surrounded by her attendants, and soon there was a great distance between them. She seemed to look this way, but seemed not to, either.
Ming Shu turned away. When they came out of the palace gate, Jing Yu said, “Lady, did you kill that assassin?”
She was standing nearby back then. She knew that her lady and the assassin were some distance apart.
“Who do you think killed her?”
Jing Yu had an answer in her heart. But meeting with Ming Shu’s smiling eyes, she had to swallow the words coming to her mouth.
“It was not far from Her Majesty’s palace, but Her Majesty did not send any message. Lady, do you think… Her Majesty… wanted to…” Remove Her Highness?
Now there was only one princess left in the palace…
“You shouldn’t guess an empress’s thoughts… you shouldn’t guess…” Ming Shu hummed a tune as she climbed into the carriage. “We should have extra food tonight.”Jing Yu: “…” Why extra food?
…
Ming Shu did not expect Princess Seven to come to her house.
And it was before dawn, when she was still in bed…
“Prime Minister, you get up very late.”
Ming Shu looked up at the slightly blinding face overhead. She turned over and continued sleeping.
She even dreamed about the little goblin last night.
What was wrong with her.
Princess Seven looked at the back of Ming Shu’s head and was stunned for a moment. Then she said, “Prime Minister, are you not afraid of what I’ll do to you?”She just exposed her vulnerability without any precautions.
Ming Shu: “…”
It was not her imagination.
She sat up in bed. Princess Seven wore a slightly simpler dress, but it was still magnificent with patterns that could blind a whole bunch of people.
“Your Highness, what are you doing here?” You broke into my bedroom early in the morning! What the hell do you want to do?!
Princess Seven leaned against the bed. “Prime Minister, you took something of mine last night, so I came to get it back.”
“What?”
Princess Seven stared at Ming Shu for a few seconds and reached out her hand. “Give it back.”
Ming Shu rubbed between her eyebrows. “Your Highness, how can I give it back if you don’t tell me what it is?”
Princess Seven: “That dagger.”“Oh.” Ming Shu remembered it. “But I threw it away.”
Princess Seven: “…”
“Lady, have you gotten up?” Jing Yu’s voice sounded from outside, followed by the sound of the door being pushed open and her coming in.
Princess Seven looked around. She was far from a place where she could hide and had no time to move, and under the bed…
Princess Seven went straight to the bed and covered herself under the quilt.
Ming Shu: “…”
Jing Yu came in from behind the screen. Seeing Ming Shu sitting in bed, she was a little surprised. “Lady, you are up. Do you need to dress now?”
Actually what Jing Yu wanted to ask was would she go attend the court meeting.But she asked wisely.
“Come in at daybreak.”
“Yes…”
Jing Yu didn’t leave immediately. She pondered for a moment and said, “We just got word that someone who looked like Princess Four was seen at the borderlands.”
Borderlands?
She left Fengqi State?
“Do we need to track the source?”
“Of course, track it down.”
“Yes.”
When Jing Yu left, Ming Shu lifted the quilt. Princess Seven blinked. “Prime Minister, you are looking for Shen Yan?”
“Get off.”
Princess Seven remained unmoved. “We all know Shen Yan is dead. Why do you want to look for her?”
“Your Highness, if you don’t get off, don’t blame me for being violent.”
Princess Seven’s butterfly-wing eyelashes quivered and she pulled out a bright smile. “Give me back the dagger and I’ll get off.”
A sudden darkness came over Princess Seven’s eyes and Ming Shu got on top of her. Her wrists were grabbed and pulled to one side, held by one of her hands.
She reached out her other hand from under the quilt.
Princess Seven became a little scary now.
But Ming Shu’s strength was greater than she had imagined. The two struggled and then Princess Seven’s body suddenly stiffened.
Ming Shu reached her soft hand into “his” clothes and held the most important part on him under the thin underwear.
Ming Shu only gave a quick touch and then released her.
Princess Seven wrapped the quilt around herself.
“You…” Princess Seven gritted her teeth. “What are you doing!”
“Just making sure.”
“Making sure… of what??”
If she was a “he”?
Princess Seven’s eyes narrowed. “How did you discover that?”
Does it even need to be discovered? If the little demon is a girl, I’m afraid I’ll just find a way to kill “her”.
Ming Shu sat on one side and smiled. “Your Highness, if you still don’t get off, I can’t promise that you’ll remain intact when you get off later.”
Princess Seven: “…”
Hooligan!
Princess Seven rolled off the bed and clutched his clothes. “Give my dagger back to me.”
Ming Shu took the dagger from under her pillow. “Your Highness, you should take care of this thing. Not everyone is as kind as I am and would keep it from you. Besides, you don’t need to do it by yourself, Your Highness, there will be plenty of people that will do it for you, right?”
Princess Seven took the dagger and checked it over, making sure that it was his dagger, then put it under his clothes. “She touched me, damn!”
Ming Shu looked sideways. “I also touched you, and your… Do you want to kill me?”
Princess Seven tidied up his clothes and looked up, forming a smile. “Prime Minister, you touched me, so you will be responsible for me.”
“Responsible?” Ming Shu chuckled. “Your Highness, do you have any misunderstanding about me?”
Ming Shu sized him up. “Even if I want to be responsible for you, I can’t marry a princess, right, Your Highness?”
Princess Seven: “…”
“Your Highness, can I touch your breast? What’s that made of?”
Princess Seven: “…”
Obscene!
Princess Seven gave Ming Shu a glare and pushed open the window, jumping out. He stood outside, and the hazy sky obscured his figure. “Lady Prime Minister, remember to come and visit me.
“Oh, right, my sister is in Daliang State.”
Ming Shu watched him disappear into the morning fog and revealed a happy smile.
Little goblin…
She lay back on the messy bed. She wondered what the scent on him was, it was quite pleasant.
His smell seemed to linger all around her.
The question now was…
When Ming Shu had breakfast, she asked Jing Yu, “Jing Yu, tell me, how do you marry a woman?”
Jing Yu: “…”
What did my lady just say? I didn’t hear it clearly.
No wonder my lady hasn’t had a close servant for so many years, I see, I see.
Fengqi State was an open country, but not so open to accept two women…
After pondering for a long time, Jing Yu answered carefully, “Lady… As long as no one finds out, there should be no problem.”
You can build a love nest!
Ming Shu was upset. “I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult.”
Difficult?
Why?
The prime minister’s mansion was big. When the prime minister had her lover inside, as long as they wouldn’t hug and kiss in public, no one would find it strange.
