As soon as Sheng Mozhao said this, all the people who were watching the show with their ears perked up all scattered, fearing that the matter would escalate and get them into trouble.

"Are you the Prince of Sheng who was so desperate that he was willing to marry our country's general as a man?" Judging from the Concubine Shu's appearance and tone, she must have heard too many rumors in recent days.

Therefore, even though she knew that the stunning man in front of her was a prince of a country, she did not care at all. In fact, because Sheng Mozhao deliberately pretended to be weak, she believed the rumors and immediately put on a condescending attitude, saying disdainfully: "I thought he was some great figure, but he is just a sick Xi Shi. I heard that you worshipped the whole hall by yourself on the day of your wedding. And for the past month, General Xiyao has been staying in the military camp without leaving. I guess His Royal Highness Prince Chen has not even seen our General Xiyao, haha ​​...

Concubine Shu laughed unbridled as she spoke, "I feel that even our General Xiyao doesn't like you, so why should His Royal Highness Prince Chen be so self-deprecating and insist on staying in the neighboring country to fawn over others?"

The fact that Xiyao had stayed in the military camp for a month without returning to the general's residence and had not married him had always been a thorn in Sheng Mozhao's heart. Now Shufei was talking so arrogantly that Sheng Mozhao narrowed his eyes slightly. He was about to explode when he heard footsteps.

It's not Xixi's.

Mo Zhao lowered his eyes in disappointment. Just then, a cold wind blew by and Mo Zhao couldn't help coughing a few times. Qing'e beside him quickly made a cup of hot tea and handed it to Mo Zhao, then turned around and slapped Shufei again.

"Our prince is kindhearted, so he tolerates Concubine Shu's flattery here and doesn't want to make a fuss about it. But I can't stand it anymore and must speak up for him. This Concubine Shu is probably old and has a bad memory. Our prince is the only prince of Sheng Kingdom. His status is so noble that you, a mere concubine, can't compare. I'm here to advise you that being old and ugly is one thing, but if you still don't understand respect and hierarchy at such an old age and don't understand the truth, it will really make people laugh if it gets out."

Qing'e was ordered by Xiyao himself to stay by Mo Zhao's side, for fear that Mo Zhao would be wronged or hurt. In the previous twenty years in Sheng Country, Mo Zhao had never suffered any hardship or loss because of Sheng Quan. Who would have thought that after coming to the neighboring country, Mo Zhao's mood went from bad to worse in just one month. Even though she knew that Mo Zhao was pretending to be weak, Qing'e did not dare to relax at all. Now that she had a rare opportunity to vent, she had to let it all out.

"Why is your Majesty the Concubine glaring at me like that? Is there something wrong with your eyes? The guard beside the prince is an expert in treating eye diseases. If your Majesty needs anything, you can prepare a small gift and ask him. Perhaps he will consider it and treat you. Oh my, is there something wrong with your hand? Why is it shaking? Could it be epilepsy? That would be terrible."

As she spoke, Qing'e turned and said to Sheng Mozhao in a serious tone, "Your Highness, this Concubine Shu might have epilepsy. We have to change positions quickly, otherwise she might have an attack. You are so weak, what will happen if you get hurt? The Emperor, Empress, and Princess will be heartbroken."

Sheng Mozhao, who was originally a little angry, almost couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing Qing'e's words, which were full of pearls of wisdom.

"Hao Siming, what are you doing? Help the prince to an open area. It's too dangerous here."

Upon hearing this, Hao Siming helped Sheng Mozhao to stand up and sighed in his heart: This Qing'e is worthy of being able to always be by the side of Lord Chushen. With such acting skills and lines, I can't write them in my script.

After Sheng Mozhao's figure completely disappeared, someone started laughing first, and then the laughter could no longer be controlled, rising one after another.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Concubine Shu's sharp screams echoed throughout the entire Imperial Garden. "Bitch! I will tear you into pieces to vent my anger!"

"Sister Shufei, please don't act impulsively. That maid has been with Prince Chen since childhood. She's officially a maid, but rumors say that the Emperor and Empress of Sheng Kingdom both treated her with respect, which shows that she's of extraordinary status. Sister, please don't let your momentary anger cause a conflict between the two countries."

The imperial concubine looked worriedly in the direction where Sheng Mozhao left and began to advise him.

"Oh, sister, do you know why the emperor dislikes you? It's because of your cautious look, which makes people lose their appetite!" Shufei was still angry and didn't listen to Guifei's advice at all. She flicked her sleeves and left first. She didn't show up until the dinner started.

At the dinner party.

Sheng Mozhao sat bored in his seat, yawning and playing with the jade beads in his hand. He asked Qing'e who was standing behind him, "Qing'e, Xixi hasn't arrived yet?" I'm getting sleepy waiting.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the palace gate."

"Hmm?" Sheng Mozhao came to life, put away the jade beads, straightened his cloak, and said, "Help me check if there is anything missing."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, there are no omissions."

"Your Highness, that Concubine Shu has bribed the guards and wants to assassinate you. She is on her way," Hao Siming walked to Sheng Mozhao's side and leaned over to tell him the news he had learned.

"Qing'e, look, who will arrive first, the guard or Xixi?" A hint of cunning flashed in Sheng Mozhao's eyes.

"The master will be there first, but if the guard suddenly speeds up, he might arrive first."

Hearing this, Sheng Mozhao had a plan in mind. He waved his hand and told Hao Siming and Qing'e to leave. No matter how the guard tried to assassinate him, they should not do it.

After Qing'e and Hao Siming left, Sheng Mozhao untied the laces of his cloak, keeping his eyes on the door, waiting for the moment when the guard would make a move so that he could surprise him.
