Chapter 69 The Charlatan National Preceptor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant 27

Wen Xi slowly woke up, and when she saw Xie Tingsheng beside her, she was so angry that she wanted to punch him to death.

Before he could make his next move, Xie Tingsheng rolled over with his arms around him, groggily opening his eyes and saying, "Sleep a little longer."

"Xie Tingsheng—get your rotten hands off me!"

Wenxi kicked the person down without any mercy.

“Madam, I am heartbroken by what you have done,” Xie Tingsheng said, his eyes darkening slightly.

"I'll say it again, I'm not your wife!"

Xie Tingsheng spoke slowly, "But you didn't say that in bed last night..."

Wenxi's face flushed red instantly.

"Shut up! Don't mention yesterday!"

"Wenxi, you say you don't like me, but who made the first move last night?"

Wenxi: "..."

Damn it, if it weren't for that old fox Xie Tingsheng using seduction, would he have been able to resist pouncing on him?

At first, he could just ignore the kisses and pretend he'd been bitten by a dog.

What happened when he took off his clothes?

With that physique! That face! He's not a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, no wonder he can't resist!

Wenxi guiltily covered herself with the blanket and remained silent, but Xie Tingsheng found her quite adorable.

Look, the wife he snatched is so cute.

A knock came from outside the dark room. Xie Tingsheng slowly dressed and left under Wen Xi's furtive gaze.

"No, then let me out!"

His reply came from the two strategists outside the dark room: "Vice Pavilion Master, stop shouting. No one will come to save you even if you shout until your throat is hoarse."

"His Highness said that he will release you whenever you are willing to be his Crown Princess."

"To be honest, Vice Pavilion Master, the way you looked at the young master just now was like a wolf seeing a bone. Are you really sure you don't like the young master?"

Wenxi touched her face.

Was his behavior really that obvious?

Wenxi suddenly fell silent.

Because he realized that those two guys seemed to be right; he did seem to have feelings for Xie Tingsheng.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened last night...

******

Back in his study, Xie Tingsheng seemed to have transformed back into a gentleman, though the upturned corners of his mouth and the unseen scratches on his neck betrayed his true feelings.

The two strategists exchanged a glance and revealed enigmatic smiles.

See? I knew the Vice Pavilion Master also had designs on the Young Master. Otherwise, with the Vice Pavilion Master's dog-like temper, he would rather die than submit to the Young Master.

Moreover, judging from the tone, it was the deputy pavilion master who took the initiative...

So, some people don't dislike it, they just don't get it.

"What exactly happened?"

"Your Highness, news has come from His Majesty's side that His Majesty and his entourage have arrived at Ciyu Temple and are probably almost at the city gate by now."

Xie Tingsheng nodded, "Then come with me to welcome His Majesty and the Imperial Preceptor."

When Yu Sheng and Xie Hanzhou returned to the palace, almost all the officials, big and small, in the capital received the news and waited outside the palace gates.

Only when the two men's entourage approached did the courtiers kneel down.

Xie Hanzhou pulled Yu Sheng out of the car, completely disregarding the feelings of the surrounding ministers.

Xie Hanzhou's sharp gaze swept over the assembled officials who were bowing, and as expected, he did not see Prince Ning among them.

"Get up, everyone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When they were bowing earlier, the officials did not dare to look up too much, but now that they had stood up, they all noticed the tightly clasped hands of Xie Hanzhou and Yu Sheng.

The oblivious minister only showed a puzzled expression and didn't think much of it.

Meanwhile, the quick-witted ministers had already imagined a grand drama unfolding in their minds.

After exchanging glances for a moment, the Grand Preceptor faction, led by the Prime Minister, concluded that it was all a scheme among the Grand Preceptors to lower His Majesty's guard and seize the throne.

The Prime Minister grinned from ear to ear, giving a provocative look to the Emperor's faction opposite him.

As expected of the Imperial Advisor, his technique is truly superb!

It's estimated that it won't be long before news of the Grand Preceptor declaring himself emperor arrives.

Meanwhile, the opposing factions of His Majesty and Prince Ning were furious.

He glared at the National Preceptor's faction members, practically begging them to be shameless.

His Majesty's Party: What a vicious scheme! They actually used a honey trap to seduce His Majesty so they could seize the throne. What a brilliant plan, Imperial Advisor!

Meanwhile, the Ning Prince's faction: Ah bah bah bah... What are they even talking about? No, they need to glare too.

After glaring at the Emperor's faction, the Prince Ning's faction glared at the Grand Preceptor's faction, and finally suffered a joint attack from both factions.

His Majesty's Party and the Imperial Preceptor Party: Who do you think you are, Prince Ning? How dare you provoke us?

Ultimately, only the world where Ning Wang's faction was injured was achieved.

However, to the ministers' utter surprise, the news that came soon after was not that Yu Sheng had become emperor, but that she had become empress.

The Emperor's faction and the Imperial Advisor's faction exchanged glances, looking at each other with utter bewilderment.

Why are they still fighting each other, turning them into one family?

Of course, these are all things to be discussed later.

"Eh? We've arrived?" Qin Zheng's appearance immediately drew the attention of the assembled officials.

The ministers looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Xie Tingsheng walked to Xie Hanzhou's side and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is back."

Xie Hanzhou hummed in response, then noticed the marks on his neck, and his expression became subtle.

At the same time, they were also anxious.

Even Xie Tingsheng... but he hasn't even started learning yet, will Sheng Sheng look down on him?

Unlike Xie Hanzhou's worries, Yu Sheng smiled at him amicably and said, "Your Highness."

"The Imperial Preceptor".

Qin Zheng suddenly burst in, "Hey, hey, have you guys forgotten there's someone here?"

Xie Hanzhou seemed to have just remembered that there was such a person, and instructed Xie Tingsheng, "Tingsheng, this is the Crown Prince of Lin Kingdom. Send him to the post station for me."

Xie Hanzhou just wanted to get rid of Qin Zheng as soon as possible.

"As for the welcome banquet, prepare it well."

This scene deeply moved Qin Zheng.

He had thought Xie Hanzhou would make things difficult for him, but he hadn't expected Xie Hanzhou to be so magnanimous. He had misunderstood him.

However, his emotions were short-lived, as Xie Hanzhou added, "Oh right, the welcome banquet is for me and Sheng Sheng. As for him... let's invite him along too."

Xie Hanzhou, in a display of compassion, treated Qin Zheng to a welcome banquet.

At this moment, Qin Zheng felt that her sincere feelings had been wasted.

Bah! A leopard can't change its spots!

Qin Zheng was furious.

The courtiers looked at each other, pretending not to see anything.

Xie Hanzhou pulled Yu Sheng away, not forgetting to give Steward An a wink before leaving.

Manager An gave him a reassuring look.

Then he ordered people to search for all the erotic picture books and storybooks in the capital.

Hopefully, His Majesty and the Imperial Advisor will be very satisfied at that time.

After Xie Hanzhou and Yu Sheng left, the officials dispersed, leaving only Qin Zheng staring blankly at the empty palace gate.

No, why did they all run away?

Qingyi and Ziyu couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, it seems that people don't really like you."
