Chapter 157 Aren’t you happy to see him?
Shen Zhiyi bowed and replied, "If I can help your majesty, I will do my best to help you."
Emperor: "Yes, yes, good boy."
The emperor gave Shen Zhiyi another secret decree and a token, saying, "If you detect that Xiao Yanqing has second thoughts, you can kill him directly. This order will allow you to take control of the army and return to the capital to report."
Shen Zhiyi took the imperial edict and token handed over by the eunuch Li Dezhong and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, I accept the order."
The emperor stepped down from the dragon table and came to Shen Zhiyi. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, if you have any news during the rebellion suppression, please report it back to the capital in time. When this matter is settled, I will grant you a high position and generous salary."
Shen Zhiyi thanked him again respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely not let Your Majesty down."
The emperor was very satisfied. Then he remembered something and asked, "I heard that Marquis Jingyuan has some feelings for you. Is that true?"
Shen Zhiyi: “…”
The emperor said, "Look up, I want to see how handsome the most famous young master in Shengjing is."
Shen Zhiyi raised his head slightly, but his eyelids were still drooping, and he never looked directly at the emperor.
It is indeed a very handsome face.
"He doesn't look like his father, but he's much more handsome than he was when he was young. I guess he takes after his mother. I heard your mother was a great beauty when she was young."
He shook his head and said, "It's a pity that he died young. Your father was also a love-struck man. A few years ago, I tried to match him with someone, but he refused. He just said that his mind was on your mother and he didn't want to bother with anyone else."
Shen Zhiyi smiled and said, “Father and mother do have a very good relationship.”
"Hahaha, I've gone off topic. But with you accompanying us, I believe we can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
The emperor laughed heartily.
Shen Zhiyi: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will not let you down."
After leaving the palace, Shen Zhiyi let out a heavy breath, and the servant hurriedly supported him, "Master, are you okay?"
Shen Zhiyi said: “Nothing, go back home first.”
The carriage turned around and headed towards the Prime Minister's Residence. At the corner of Taikangfang Street, it collided head-on with the carriage from the Princess' Residence.
Shang Xi happened to lift the curtain to get some fresh air.
Their eyes met.
Shen Zhiyi smiled and nodded, but Shang Xi just nodded coldly.
He was a spoiled and domineering princess, and nodding in response to him was already giving him face.
"What is the princess looking at?"
Xiao Ning came over.
Seeing the smiling Shen Zhiyi, Xiao Ning's heart began to beat wildly again, but she remained calm. When Shen Zhiyi nodded to her again, she also nodded slightly to him.
However, before she could finish nodding, Shang Xi lowered the curtain.
Xiao Ning: “…”
Shen Zhiyi looked at the curtains that were thrown down in anger across from him and smiled softly.
What a bad temper.
Jealousy is really strong.
Not even a nod or a hello.
I wonder what his expression will be when he finds out that His Majesty has arranged for him to follow Xiao Yanqing to quell the rebellion.
The carriages staggered and drove in the direction the people in them wanted to go.
The air pressure in the car suddenly dropped. Shang Xi glared at Xiao Ning and snorted coldly, "Are you happy to see him?"
Xiao Ning: "...Which eye of yours is happy to see me?"
Shang Xi: "Do you dare to say that you are unhappy when you see him?"
Xiao Ning: "...Can you please stop being unreasonable? Why should I be happy when I see him? I'm already annoyed with him."
This is true. Although Shen Zhiyi is very handsome and appeals to her aesthetic taste, she really hates the feeling of her heart beating wildly when she sees him.
Shang Xi didn't believe it at all, "You're lying!"
Every time she saw him, she looked obsessed with him.
Even their marriage was designed by Shen Zhiyi.
If she hadn't fallen into Shen Zhiyi's trap in order to see Shen Zhiyi more, how could she have bumped into him?
Xiao Ning was speechless, "If you say so, then so be it."
Shang Xi became even angrier when he saw her like this. He flung his sleeves and tilted his head in anger, "I knew it!"
Xiao Ning: "Yes, the princess is smart and knows everything."
Shang Xi's eyes turned red with anger, "Shut up!"
Xiao Ning: “…”
Just shut up!
Xiao Ning also turned his head away, hugged his arms and closed his eyes.
Because he was angry, the corners of his mouth, which usually smiled, were flattened, and there was a sense of depression between his eyebrows.
Shang Xi stared at her, clenched his fists, and was so angry that he wanted to punch her, but thinking that she was about to leave, his clenched fists finally loosened.
But the jealousy in my heart can't be extinguished.
He knew he was being unreasonable, but he couldn't control himself.
It was obvious that this was his unrequited love, and she had been very good to him, but he was still not satisfied.
"Do you know how you came to my tent in the first place?"
Shang Xi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, looked at Xiao Ning and asked.
Xiao Ning opened his eyes upon hearing this, glanced at Shang Xi, who seemed to have calmed down, and said, "Just wandering around aimlessly."
She didn't dare to say this just to meet Shen Zhiyi by chance. This person was like a firecracker and extremely jealous.
They clearly haven't broken the window paper, but he still interferes with everything. What would happen if I were to be with him?
Bah, what is she thinking, who wants to be with him, two women!
Once the rebellion is quelled and he ascends the throne, just confess.
After that, they became king and his subject, and married separately without interfering with each other.
Seeing Xiao Ning's words concealing something, Shang Xi clenched his fists and sneered: "Really? Didn't you hear people say that you can see Shen Zhiyi if you come here?"
Xiao Ning: "...You know it, but you still ask?"
Shang Xi clenched his fists and took two deep breaths before he controlled his urge to slap him.
"Haven't you ever thought that this is a trap?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Ning suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Shang Xi.
She had only inherited the original owner's memory. In the original owner's consciousness, this was a very natural thing. After all, wherever Shen Zhiyi went, there would be women following her.
So she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But now think about it...
Indeed, that was clearly Princess Duanhui's tent, so how could Shen Zhiyi go there?
Seeing that Xiao Ning seemed to have figured it out, Shang Xi sneered, "You like me, but I only want to kill you. I knew it was a setup, and it just so happened that I needed a consort, so I didn't hurt you, and let his plan go to waste."
Xiao Ning: “…”
She placed her hand over her heart and whispered, "Did you hear that? The person you like is a scumbag."
The original owner just had a crush on him secretly and didn't make a fuss in front of him, so why did he treat her so cruelly?
If you really feel disgusted, just tell the original owner face to face.
The original owner wasn't such a shameless person. He would probably put him out of his mind after being sad for a few days.
Seeing her like this, Shang Xi felt furious again. What was she doing? Was she reminiscing about this relationship?
Is it worth remembering a person who wants to kill you?
“What do you like about Shen Zhiyi?”
Xiao Ning answered without hesitation: "Of course it's that face. Which girl in Shengjing City doesn't like his face? Oh, and that tall and handsome figure, that graceful posture..."
