Chapter 1188: All The Careerists (18)
“Your Highness.”
Jing Yu sent Shen Pin to the horse carriage. “I will send you back.”
Jing Yu’s mind was filled with the images of the naked Shen Pin in the morning. As expected of her lady. She was able to notice Princess Seven’s secret.
Jing Yu guessed what happened. This was the imperial palace. Anything could happen here.
“Where is your lady?”
“Lady...” She was writing her cris down.
She couldn’t tell him this.
Jing Yu took a box and passed it to Shen Pin. “Your Highness, this is for you.”
Shen Pin frowned slightly. “Your lady gave it to ?”
“Erm...” Jing Yu didn’t dare to say yes, but she didn’t dare to say no either. She could only change the topic. “It’s getting late. Please get in the carriage.”
Shen Pin didn’t get the answer for both questions.
He frowned. He was slightly unhappy.
Jing Yu felt cold sweat streaming down her forehead. Luckily, Shen Pin didn’t flare up. He turned and stepped into the carriage.
Jing Yu quickly placed the box inside.
The horse carriage started moving. Shen Pin lifted the curtain. The main door of the pri minister’s mansion closed slowly.
He lowered the curtain and looked at the box. He opened it.
It was a luminous pearl the size of a fist.
Besides Ming Shu, who else was able to give him such an expensive and rare thing? Even the palace didn’t have such a huge luminous pearl.
Why can’t she just give it to personally?
Why must she ask other people to give it to ?
Shen Pin asked his n to put away the luminous pearl properly. He wanted to see it all the ti.
The guard: “...”
So do you want to store it or do you want to see it?
...
Ming Shu wrote a script and asked Jing Yu to follow it and spread rumors about her. She believed that she would definitely get popular... no, she would definitely beco a traitor careerist hated by the public.
Jing Yu didn’t want to do it but she knew that even if she didn’t, Ming Shu would do it herself.
Thus, besides the relationship between Ming Shu and Princess Seven, more dark secrets of Ming Shu’s were exposed.
Elder Feng and Shen Yu were shocked.
What is...
“Who did this?”
Elder Feng didn’t know who did it.
“Your Majesty, I haven’t found the culprit yet. Maybe the pri minister offended soone before...”
The pri minister had offended many people recently. It was understandable if soone wanted to target her.
Shen Yu knocked on the table. “But she didn’t do so of those things...”
“Your Majesty, the civilians will not investigate the matter. When more people talk about it, they will think that it’s the truth. We can just sit back and wait for the pri minister to be destroyed.”
Shen Yu knew how destructive rumors could be.
She cald down after hearing what Elder Feng said. “Since that is the case, we will not do anything for now. Let’s wait and see what happens.”
“Yes.”
Shen Yu stayed at the hall for a while after Elder Feng left. Then she got up.
The female official asked cautiously, “Your Majesty, do you want to go and see the imperial concubine?”
Shen Yu nodded. After so ti, she said, “Let’s go to find Sister Seven.”
The female official was stunned for a mont. She bowed and said, “Yes.”
...
The rumors spread throughout the imperial city. People cursed and scolded Ming Shu outside the pri minister’s mansion every day.
Inside the mansion, Ming Shu was preparing her dowry.
She said that she didn’t want to marry Shen Pin, but her actions revealed her true desire.
If I don’t marry him, I will be worried every day.
[Guest, shall we look at the aning of traitor careerist?]
[A traitor careerist is the leader of the traitors. It also refers to soone who uses their power to bully other people.]
Ming Shu: “...” Am I suppose to raise a bunch of traitor ministers?
[...] The Harmony System gave up. [You can just do what you want. You are amazing. All the best!]
The Harmony System went offline.
Ming Shu felt that the Harmony System had gotten quieter recently. It would only talk to her during crucial monts.
What is it doing?
“Harmony System, do you have another Guest?”
[Don’t worry, Guest. You are my only Guest.] I need to complint my Guest more.
“I’m so special.”
[...]
The Harmony System went offline.
Ming Shu: “...”
Talking to the Harmony System was boring. It would keep quiet whenever it wanted to and you couldn’t do anything to it.
When Ming Shu was not preparing her dowry, she would work hard to beco a traitor minister.
In a short period of ti, she beca the icon of a traitor minister. She felt extrely good about it.
Every ti she t soone, she would ask—
“Lady Zhou, are you interested in entering the association of traitor ministers?”
“Lady Hong, do you want to beco a traitor minister?”
“Lady Sun, we are fated to et today. Shall we beco traitor ministers together?”
The ministers: “???”
Is she trying to rebel?
Scary.
How was the pri minister still able to survive till now?
Shen Yu wanted to kill Ming Shu, but she couldn’t be caught. Even the imperial guards were not her match. What could she do? Use her mind to kill her?
If she could do that, Ming Shu would have been killed several tis over.
Impeach her?
She would just ignore the imperial decree.
The people she sent were not able to catch her.
The assassins she sent didn’t co back. The pri minister’s mansion was like a haunted mansion that gobbled humans up.
Hence, Ming Shu journey to beco a traitor minister was smooth.
When she finished preparing her dowry, she sent them into the palace and asked Shen Yu to arrange a wedding date for her.
Shen Yu: “...”
I’m the empress!
“Pri Minister, Sister Seven is a woman. You are a woman too. This is against our principals.”
“No, this is what the pillar of the country should do.”
“...” Shen Yu wanted to stab soone every ti she heard this phrase.
“Also, there is no law that states that a woman can’t marry a woman.”
This was an unwritten rule passed down by their ancestors. Everyone knew this.
Shen Yu looked at the other people below her. “What do you all think?”
The ministers that got called trembled in fear.
No idea.
There was nothing they wanted to say.
The pri minister was crazy.
The ministers supporting the pri minister wanted to say sothing. However, due to their identities, it was not good for them to go against the pri minister in front of the empress.
Most importantly, it was useless even if they objected.
They had tried to persuade the pri minister so many tis, but she still didn’t listen.
Shen Yu was so angry her chest hurt.
“Elder Zhang, Elder Feng?”
Elder Zhang remained indifferent. “Your Majesty, I can’t do anything about this. Since the pri minister and Princess Seven have decided to marry each other in spite of public opinion, you can just fulfill their wish.”
Ming Shu glanced at Elder Zhang, who was over 50 years old.
Elder Zhang was an amazing person. No matter how big the issue was, she was able to not get herself involved.
If you asked her sothing, she would answer you.
If you didn’t, she would keep quiet.
Elder Feng didn’t have anything to say, either. Her entire body hurt the mont she saw Ming Shu.
If she wants to marry Princess Seven, let her.
Let her be scolded by everyone.
The ancestors of the Jing family are going to climb out of their coffins soon!
