"What book would your Majesty want to listen to today?" Xiao Guijun asked.
"Just say whatever you want." Su Ling looked indifferent, and then added: "Don't tell those love stories, they will make you tired of hearing them."
The white beauty next to her blushed when she heard this and pouted secretly.
The storyteller obeyed the instructions and began to talk. Su Ling originally listened without a word, but the storyteller's skill was so great that Su Ling became fascinated after listening for a while.
Just when Su Ling was listening with interest, a cry of surprise came from behind.
"oops!"
Su Ling was startled, thinking it was a puppet coming to assassinate her. She was also a little confused as to why the system didn't prompt her, but then she heard Bai Meiren's aggrieved voice.
"Servant Shen, you, you!"
When Su Ling heard that there was something about Shen Jiushu, she immediately turned around to watch the excitement and saw Bai Meiren holding something with a sad face. Shen Jiushu frowned and looked at Bai Meiren with disdain on his face.
When Bai Meiren saw Su Ling looking at him, she immediately said aggrievedly.
"Your Majesty, although Shen Jiushu broke the jade pendant that His Majesty gave to the servant, I believe that he did not do it on purpose. Your Majesty must not blame Guard Shen."
After saying that, Bai Meiren carefully glanced at Su Ling's jade pendant that was broken into two halves, and then showed an empathetic expression, showing the beauty of being hurt but still pretending to be strong.
Su Ling sniffed, eh~ It smells so strong of green tea.
"What are you talking nonsense about? You clearly threw this jade pendant on the ground deliberately just now." Shen Jiushu sneered.
Bai Meiren lowered her head and said with a forbearing expression, "Just what Guard Shen says... After all, Guard Shen is His Majesty's savior. No matter how disrespectful Guard Shen is to me, I will..."
"Why are you..." Shen Jiushu lost his temper. He had never been so wronged before.
"That's enough." Su Ling interrupted.
Shen Jiushu snorted coldly and stopped talking. Bai Meiren stood beside Su Ling aggrievedly and hooked her hands on Su Ling's clothes. Xiao Guijun glanced at her and said nothing.
Su Ling patted Bai Meiren's hand comfortingly and looked at Shen Jiushu with a smile.
"Servant Shen disrespects my beauty and will be fined half a year's salary."
Shen Jiushu didn't care about salary or not, after all, he was not a real bodyguard, but Su Ling's behavior of wrongfully accusing him made him really angry.
"You actually believe him or not me??!" Shen Jiushu couldn't believe it.
Su Ling's eyes widened: "Do you want to get slapped again?"
Shen Jiushu lost his temper. He took a few deep breaths and closed his mouth. He stood there with a sullen face like a big scapegoat. Bai Mei secretly made faces at him, which made his liver hurt and even felt a little aggrieved.
Su Ling is so stupid. That white beauty can't even see through such despicable methods, yet she still dares to accuse him unjustly! What a pig!
Su Ling knew that Shen Jiushu must be scolding her to death in his heart, but she didn't care at all. Just being interrupted like this, Shu couldn't listen anymore. Thinking that the puppet hadn't come to assassinate her for a long time, it seemed that she had to move the location, so she got up. Go outside.
"Let's go enjoy the flowers."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Guijun immediately followed Su Ling, accompanied by all the male concubines, and Shen Jiushu also followed as a bodyguard.
While everyone was strolling around, Xiao Guijun suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Your Majesty's birthday will be in a few days. Do you want to do the same thing as in previous years?"
Su Ling waved his hand indifferently: "Just the same."
If the process is different, what if the puppet doesn't assassinate?
Su Ling and Xiao Guijun were admiring flowers and chatting about the birthday banquet. After leaving for a while, a huge alarm sounded in her mind.
【Danger! Danger! 】
[The target has placed a hidden weapon in the peony at 9 o'clock in front, please be careful to avoid it! ! 】
Su Ling immediately stopped.
"His Majesty?"
The male concubines looked at Su Ling in confusion.
Su Ling rolled her eyes and waved to Shen Jiushu who was behind him, and Shen Jiushu reluctantly walked over.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
"Go and kick over that pot of peonies." Su Ling whispered in Shen Jiushu's ear in a voice that only two people could hear.
Shen Jiushu didn't know why. He looked at Su Ling doubtfully, and Su Ling blinked hard at him.
Seeing Su Ling's insistence, Shen Jiushu stepped forward helplessly, endured the pain in his buttocks, and kicked the pot of peonies to the ground in front of all the male concubines.
With a crash, a pot of peonies fell to the ground and fell to pieces. The beautiful peonies lay on the ground looking pitiful.
Xiao Guijun frowned, and all the male concubines softly exclaimed. Just when Shen Jiushu had finished his work and was about to retreat, two whooshing sounds rang through the air, and two silver needles flew directly towards Shen Jiushu's facade with a cold light. Come over.
Shen Jiushu reflexively ducked sideways, and two silver needles grazed his face and shot straight into the tree next to him. However, in his desperation, he had moved too much and fell to the ground, and his butt suddenly stopped. Sour and refreshing.
"Ah——! There is a hidden weapon! Protect me!"
Bai Meiren screamed, and a group of dragon guards immediately surrounded her.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid." Xiao Guijun protected Su Ling behind him.
Su Ling's face was calm. She had clearly seen just now that if she had not known in advance that the pot of peonies contained a hidden weapon, she would have been shot through the heart by a silver needle, and even the Great Luo Immortal could not save her.
Tsk... This puppet really has many tricks, and it would be really dangerous if he didn't use some cheats.
Su Ling pretended to be anxious and pushed Xiao Guijun aside and rushed forward to help Shen Jiushu up, speaking loudly and passionately.
"Ah! Guard Shen unexpectedly discovered that there was a trap in the pot of peonies, and risked his own life to destroy the hidden weapon. Guard Shen's loyalty to me is a lesson to all. I am really touched!"
"You've already...um...!"
Shen Jiu, who already knew that he was being used as a weapon by Su Ling, wanted to say something angrily, but Su Ling immediately covered his mouth.
"Young guard Shen, you don't need to say anything. I understand you. You have deep love for me. I will never let you down!"
"Come here, send Guard Shen to the imperial doctor to have a look at your butt!"
Before Shen Jiushu could say anything, he was carried away by a group of servants to see the imperial doctor.
Shitou secretly shook his head, Shen Jiushu was really suffering from being taken into consideration by Sister Su.
Due to the hidden weapon incident, the flower appreciation feast ended shortly after it started. Su Ling was escorted back to the dormitory by the dragon guards. The imperial doctors took turns taking Su Ling's pulse to make sure that nothing happened to Su Ling before they were relieved.
The servant outside the door reported that Xiao Guijun was kneeling outside the palace to plead guilty. Su Ling walked out and saw that the unfortunate Xiao Guijun was kneeling there with a solemn expression.
Seeing Su Ling come out, Xiao Guijun kowtowed.
"The flower viewing banquet is the sole responsibility of the ministers, but now something like this has happened and almost killed your majesty. It is really hard to absolve yourself of the blame. Please forgive me."
