Chapter 1179: All The Careerists (9)

No information about the assassin had been discovered. In fact, Shen Yu had been assassinated many times, probably they had been tired of this, and just let the matter go.

As for Shaoyao, the first courtesan of Baiyan Garden, he became the imperial concubine.

It was heard that Shen Yu had been staying at the imperial concubine’s palace for a few days, offering him plenty of rewards. They all said Yuhua Palace’s imperial husband had fallen into disfavor.

The palace attendants jumped on the bandwagon and began to look down on the imperial husband and pursue the new favorite.

But estimatedly, the most angry person should be Elder Feng.

She paid a lot of money yet didn’t even touch the handsome man’s hands.

…

Ming Shu didn’t sit and wait, either. If she wanted to be a traitor, she must have her power back.

Before, Shen Yu had replaced some of her people, but didn’t get to the core. Ming Shu found ways to bring those people back.

Shen Yu didn’t want her effort to be wasted and tried to stop Ming Shu several times. So at each court meeting, there was a fierce and bloodless battle.

Shen Yu was naturally not some stupid person since she could get herself on the throne.

For some people, Shen Yu had arranged them with excellent excuses and they couldn’t be removed through normal means. So Ming Shu had to take some unusual measures.

Then Shen Yu could do nothing about it…

Can you stop a man from quitting his job?

Each time Shen Yu would be angered almost to the point of passing out, and Ming Shu would add fuel to the flames.

Each time before Shen Yu went to attend the court meeting, she would have to take deep breaths.

In order to preserve strength, Shen Yu then hardly went against Ming Shu head-on. The two camps gradually settled down.

The group of neutral ministers had a feeling of survival between the cracks.

They just wanted to be officials and do their jobs well, why was it so hard?

But Her Majesty and the prime minister didn’t go against each other as fiercely as before, so their lives were much better.

“Your Majesty, the diplomatic mission of Beiyue State will arrive at the imperial capital soon.”

Shen Yu looked at the prime minister below who had a table of desserts and fruits before her, her eyes like sharp knives.

What did she think of Qiankun Palace as?!

“Your Majesty?” The minister who was reporting called Shen Yu nervously as the latter didn’t react. Meanwhile she wondered if she said anything wrong just now.

Ming Shu held her chin. “Your Majesty, don’t just look at me. Staring at me won’t make me get killed suddenly.”

Shen Yu: “…”

“Elder Feng and Minister of Rituals will take charge of the mission,” Shen Yu said.

“Your Majesty, I’m willing to share your troubles.” Ming Shu raised her hand voluntarily.

“Prime Minister, you are the pillar of the state. How can I trouble you with such a tiny matter,” Shen Yu said ironically.

“As the pillar of the state, Your Majesty, I should share your concerns, I don’t feel tired.”

“I said no need!”

The atmosphere became a little odd.

But the ministers were used to it.

Ming Shu was a little irritating, but no matter what she did, what she said, she would not cross the line as to let Shen Yu grasp a handhold.

So you knew she fouled, but you had no evidence to punish her.

Who wouldn’t be angry to face this?

The ministers were already thankful that the two didn’t fight in the court.

One of the ministers hurriedly stood out and turned from the topic of discussion. “Your Majesty, this time Beiyue came as the defeated country and brought with them a prince intending to make peace by marriage. I wonder what you are going to do about it, Your Majesty?”

In Fengqi’s royal family now, only Princess Seven could marry the prince, otherwise Her Majesty would have to pick someone from a branch of the royal family.

Beiyue was defeated this time and came with their prince to ask for marriage; no one knew if they were sincere or only pretending.

Shen Yu would definitely not take the prince into her harem.

Shen Yu pondered for a while. “We’ll discuss this later.”

The ministers looked at each other. So did Her Majesty not plan to marry the prince to Princess Seven?

But thinking about Princess Seven’s appearance, some ministers shook their heads in secret. As a woman of Fengqi, how could she dress up like a man? She was just ruining their women’s image.

But the matter must be determined before Beiyue State’s mission arrived. So the court meeting was about this matter for a consecutive two days.

Most ministers agreed to choose Princess Seven, because being a member of the royal family, if she didn’t play her role at this time, then when?

Some other ministers thought they should choose one from the branch family because they shouldn’t lose face in front of other countries.

The two sides quarreled fiercely at court.

In the end, Shen Yu gave the final word.

Princess Seven would marry the prince.

After the court meeting, Ming Shu went to Princess Seven’s palace and prepared to mock her little goblin.

She must grasp such a historic moment, otherwise there wouldn’t be such a chance in the future.

Ming Shu avoided the attendants and entered his palace through the window.

As soon as she got in, a gust of wind came from the side. Ming Shu hit back instinctively, yet the next second, she was hugged by someone tightly.

“Lady Prime Minister, I thought you wouldn’t come to see me.”

A light and pleasant feminine voice sounded.

“Can you talk to me in a normal voice?” I’m not very good at dealing with big brothers wearing women’s clothes!

Princess Seven was originally holding her from behind, now he moved to face her. His body hunched down slightly and was shorter than Ming Shu immediately.

He looked up at Ming Shu. “You don’t like my voice?”

Ming Shu looked down at him. “…The picture is just too beautiful to imagine.”

Princess Seven grunted, and his voice emerged muffled. “Lady Prime Minister, what brings you here?”

“I came to…”

Knock knock! Ming Shu’s words were interrupted by a sharp knock on the door.

Princess Seven didn’t worry at all and asked while leaning on Ming Shu, “What’s the matter?”

He changed his voice smoothly.

The person didn’t come in but answered from outside. “Your Highness, something happened. Her Majesty determined at today’s morning session that you will be married to the prince from Beiyue.”

Princess Seven looked at Ming Shu. “So you came here to mock me?”

“You are very smart, Your Highness.”

“Your Highness? Your Highness? Are you okay? Her Majesty hasn’t issued the imperial decree, there is still room to settle this matter, you should calm…” The guard outside put one of her hands on the door.

“Don’t come in!” Princess Seven scolded.

The guard’s hand shivered.

Her Highness must be very angry now.

Princess Seven told the guard to leave. The tip of his nose just touched Ming Shu’s chin; he rubbed against it lightly. “Lady, are you going to watch me marry someone else?”

“Why not?”

“But I’m yours.”

“…” Ming Shu’s mouth twitched. Did I miss something here? Why can’t I connect the dots?

Since the last time he went to the prime minister mansion, she had never met him again.

Then how come he was hers now?

Fine.

He was originally hers.

“Your Highness, are you drunk? Why are you talking nonsense now? I have nothing to do with you, Your Highness.”

“No? You covered for me, helped me hide the murder weapon, you didn’t unmask me, and you even touched me. Do we really have nothing to do with each other?”

Shameless rascal. She touched me and now wants to deny it!

“Lady Prime Minister, I like you very much.”

The moment I saw you, I knew I liked you.

I’ve never liked anyone so much.

He looked up slightly. His watery black eyes reflected the person before him, and his lips shone with an attractive color as if having been applied with rouge.

Ming Shu resisted the urge to kiss him. “Your breast pressed into me.”

Princess Seven: “…”

What?

Ah!

I’m so angry!

Hooligan!
