Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 344
Chapter 344 A Good Show
“This, what exactly is going on!” Qi Sheng asked in shock. Su Wanwan slowly said, “There are indeed weapons in the manor, but they have long been hidden by me. Those weapons suddenly appeared a few days ago, and there are signs of military weapons on them. If the Emperor does not believe it, he can order someone to investigate them.”
The expression on Qi Sheng’s face was extremely ugly. General Xu immediately said, “Your Majesty, this is too suspicious. This matter was not done by General Nian. It was only said by a servant of the Minister’s Manor. I will kill him when I return!”
“General Xu, can you believe a servant’s words? You are so old that you think the Emperor is so foolish, aren’t you?” After saying that, Su Wanwan immediately went somewhere to bring the big box over. After opening it, she saw that the entire box was filled with weapons used by the soldiers.
In addition to the evidence of these weapons and the letter, the Emperor wrote seven or eight points. However, he was still a little puzzled. “General Nian is young, so I promoted him. How could he …”
“Your Majesty, do you know who he is? He is a member of the Shi Clan! The son of Prime Minister Shi!” As Su Wanwan spoke, Qi Sheng’s deep eyes became more and more unfathomable. Su Wanwan reminded, “The historians have been plagiarizing the Imperial Consort, but they haven’t seen where Shi Chengshun is. Does the Emperor really have no doubts about this General Nian, who is exactly the same as Shi Chengshun?”
“This” Qi Sheng frowned lightly every day and smiled at Su Wanwan. “Your Majesty, you can decide whatever you want about this matter. After all, the general hates you more than he hates me for offending his family this year. It’s easy for him to do anything to you.”
As she spoke, Su Wanwan glanced at General Xu and said, “General Xu, don’t you think so?”
“…”
General Xu opened his mouth to refute, but his words were stuck in his throat and he could not spit out a single word. Seeing this, Su Wanwan was more and more satisfied with her acupoint-dianfu. She said, “Look, General Shi also tacitly agreed to my idea. Sigh.”
Qi Sheng became even more panicked. He didn’t know what to do. If the historians were still around, it would be an invisible calamity to him.
Just as Qi Sheng decided to investigate Shi Chengshun, Shi Chengshun stepped over the Third Prince’s mansion and said, “Third Prince! Third Princess! Is the money sent to Mobei related to the two of you? I hope that the two of you will return home. That’s the money I gave to the soldiers as a subsidy with my own reward.”
As soon as he entered, Shi Chengshun suddenly realized that the atmosphere wasn’t right. He was stunned. Seeing Qi Sheng also present, he frowned and bowed, saying, “Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”
“Yes.” Qi Sheng replied coldly. Looking at Shi Chengshun, he felt that General Nian and Su Wanwan’s words were very similar. “Why do you always wear a mask? Why don’t you take off your mask and talk to me?”
“This subject is not well-behaved. He had his face cut on the battlefield and was ugly. Only then did he put on his mask. Please do not blame him, Your Majesty.” Shi Chengshun bowed and spoke respectfully. Seeing that there was not the slightest bit of disrespect, Qi Sheng’s doubts had already arisen in his heart and could not be put out. He said, “Don’t make excuses. I want to see your face today. Take off your mask and show it to me.”
‘”I can’t take it off!” General Xu really wanted to speak, but unfortunately, he couldn’t say a word. He knew that it was Shi Chengshun, so he frantically rolled his eyes at the side.
Qi Shengyu’s heart sank when he saw this scene. He had already believed that General Nian was Shi Chengshun. He said coldly, “General Nian, take it!”
“Yes.” Shi Chengshun slowly glanced at Su Wanwan and chuckled. He raised his hand and slowly removed his mask, revealing his pitch-black face and incomparably ferocious scars!
This face seemed to be somewhat different from Su Wanwan’s imagination of Shi Chengshun. It seemed to be completely different from the same person!
Looking at Su Wanwan’s slightly surprised expression, Shi Chengshun sneered. He was both angry and hateful in his heart. His face was scratched by the tiger that rushed out the day he went down the mountain. After going down the mountain, he found a doctor to sew up his face. His face was still painful, but he was able to win the trust of the Emperor!
Su Wanwan was also shocked. She couldn’t find anything to refute, but she recognized this pair of seemingly calm yet hostile eyes. He was Shi Chengshun!
“Your Majesty, I’d better put on my mask. Otherwise, I’ll dirty your eyes.” As Shi Chengshun said those words, he calmly covered his face. He put on a mask with his other hand and knelt down. He cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty! When this official returns from the war, you gave me 100,000 gold taels and I specially sent 10,000 gold taels to Mobei to share with the soldiers. Who would have thought that this gold and silver would be occupied by the Third Prince? Please make the decision for me.”
“Send the silver out?” Su Wanwan opened her mouth wide, “You sent Mo Bei, and we didn’t go to Mo Bei. If you want to frame us, you have to produce evidence.”
After saying this, Su Wanwan pointed at the paper in Qi Sheng’s hand, “You framed us for the first time. The second time, this reason was too far-fetched, wasn’t it?”
“Framed?” Shi Chengshun, who was covered by the drum, did not know what had happened today. He glanced at the piece of paper and his face darkened under the mask, “This matter …”
“All of you, shut up!” Qi Sheng shouted. He felt that his head was like a paste. He thought for a moment and thought that the harem would be more fun. He said, “No matter what misunderstandings exist between you, you are both my right and left arms. You are the officials of the court! Don’t play tricks on each other! This matter will end here, and you are not allowed to bring it up again!”
“Yes.” Shi Chengshun agreed and saw Qi Sheng get up and leave.
When Qi Sheng walked not far away, General Xu suddenly felt that his throat could speak. He immediately said, “Third Princess, don’t bully others too much!”
“Who bullied me too much? You brought something to frame me. Who bullied me too much?” Su Wanwan sneered, pointing at the weapon on the side and said, “Take your things and scram!”
“You!” General Xu’s old face turned green and white. He didn’t know what to say. Shi Chengshun said, “General Xu, the Emperor just said that peace is the most important thing. The past is not to be blamed. Now, we should all be gentle.”
When Shi Chengshun said those words, he cupped his hands and bowed towards Qi Chengfeng. However, his gaze glanced at Su Wanwan and said, “The fact that the two of you did something to me today is too hateful. However, I will treat the 10,000 taels of silver as a gift to you two.”
One hundred thousand taels of silver was said to be ten thousand taels. Although he was in case the Emperor was too concerned about finding out that he was hoarding troops, he still remembered how much silver he had. Just how much patience did Shi Chengshun have to endure in order to show his stupidity in front of the Emperor! Su Wanwan was very impressed. She raised her hand and applauded, “General Nian is really a wonderful person. Let’s be more friendly from now on.”
“Thank you for your understanding.” Shi Chengshun cupped his hands again, then turned around and left, his back facing Qi Chengfeng and Su Wanwan, his eyes immediately emitting a chill.
After leaving the manor, General Xu immediately followed and said, “What kind of plan do I have to divide the two of them?”
