“Lady—”

Ming Shu was so annoyed with Jing Yu, who would disturb residents whenever unhappy. Why couldn’t she just speak tenderly instead of yelling.

Ming Shu buried her head in Shen Pin’s arms and nuzzled him for a long time. Then just before the door was almost knocked down, she kissed Shen Pin for a little longer and then put on her clothes to get to the door.

“What are you doing…” Ming Shu leaned against the door. “Has anyone stolen my breakfast?”

Jing Yu’s expression was serious. “General Song is dead.”

“That’s all?”

Jing Yu had been used to Ming Shu’s indifferent attitude and continued, “When General Song was dying, she wrote down your name.”

Ming Shu: “…”

…

General Song was Fengqi State’s hero and the people loved her very much.

She was respectfully named as Fengqi’s defending general.

General Song was found dead in the study early this morning, and beside her were two words written by blood.

The word Jing was clear, but Se was only finished half with an S.

But it was very clear and others could easily guess it was Jing Se.

General Song’s death aroused the people’s grievances. They requested the government office to catch the murderer and make her pay with her own life.

The prime minister mansion had been attacked by rotten eggs and vegetable leaves all these days.

“Lady…” Jing Yu was so anxious that she pulled off many strands of hair.

Yet Ming Shu was still at leisure, eating desserts and drinking tea.

“Don’t be so anxious, do you think you can clear my name by being so anxious? We need to be calm when facing unexpected things, because anxiety will only make a bigger mess…”

Ming Shu was actually happy to take the blame!

Why would she offer an explanation!

If Jing Yu hadn’t been watching her all day, she would have gone out and shouted: Right! That’s me! I did that! The pillar of your country! 

“But we can’t just sit here and do nothing!” Are we going to watch those angry people surround us outside? 

Watch them requesting Lady to pay for General Song’s life with her own.

Lady didn’t kill General Song!

The Dali Temple that was in charge of this case didn’t want them to make a move. In fact, if they hadn’t been afraid of Ming Shu’s counterattack, they would have come to the prime minister mansion and caught her.

Jing Yu paced around in front of Ming Shu and just couldn’t stop. “This is a total setup!”

Ming Shu patted the stool beside her. “Would you like to sit down and make an analysis?”

“Lady?”

“Alas.”

“…”

Ming Shu smiled. “Jing Yu, that’s what I want. I want them to think that I’m the murderer.”

“Lady?” Jing Yu frowned. “This is very serious. Look at all the people out there, they are all so anxious to kill you now.”

“This is the only way for me to become a traitor careerist.”

“…” When exactly did her lady become so obsessed with becoming a traitor careerist?

Jing Yu couldn’t persuade her lady, so she went to Shen Pin.

Shen Pin would be able to persuade her!

…

Shen Pin sat beside Ming Shu. “Lady.”

“Did Jing Yu ask you to do this?” Jing Yu wanted to do good things for her lady, but she wouldn’t listen to Ming Shu’s explanation.

Shen Pin got closer and directly held Ming Shu in his arms. Ming Shu spared one of her hands from the snacks to hold him as well.

“Lady, do you think they killed General Song only to frame you?”

“Does that matter?” I don’t care about it. 

“General Song owned the military power, which is the most important thing at this time. So General Song’s death must be premeditated.”

“What do you want to say?”

Shen Pin: “…”

Did she really not understand, or she was just pretending?

Shen Pin thought she must be pretending. There was no way that she wasn’t clear about it.

“Think about it, who has General Song’s commander’s seal now?”

Usually at this time, the commander’s seal was the most useful tool.

As long as you got the commander’s seal, and with a cause that didn’t sound very stupid, there would be a ninety-nine percent chance for you to mobilize the army.

Ming Shu was upset. Why was it so hard to just be a villain with IQ out of line!

She only wanted to be a quiet scapegoat and traitor careerist.

Weren’t villains all fools?

Ming Shu had to pick up her purposely dropped IQ. “You are suspecting Shen Yu?”

Shen Pin shook his head. “General Song was not on Shen Yu’s side publicly, but if Shen Yu encountered any trouble, she may take her side and help her. It was not necessary for Shen Yu to take the trouble and kill her.”

“Didn’t she want to frame me?” Ming Shu was confident about her inference. “If she wanted to frame me, she’d have to take the cost.”

She could get the military power as well as frame her by doing so.

Shen Pin pinched Ming Shu’s waist.

“Have I been too tolerant of you lately? You dare fight me now?”

Shen Pin looked up. “I want a kiss.”

Ming Shu: “…”

Why was this little demon also disobeying the routine!

Ming Shu became a bit serious. “If the person behind General Song’s death did it for military power, it was totally unnecessary to frame me, so it proves I may have been used for other purposes… like causing chaos.”

Now everyone’s attention had been drawn to the prime minister mansion.

She was trapped in the house, and the ministers on her side would also definitely be affected.

In that case, if someone wanted to do something now, it would be much easier.

Ming Shu touched her own chin. “Is someone planning to attack the imperial capital?”

Shen Pin’s eyes glittered with a smile. He knew that she was very smart.

…

Ming Shu sent someone to find Luo Yan, who was still in the city.

Luo Yan climbed over the wall to get in, struggling.

He sounded somewhat unkind. “What is this? Your prime minister mansion is like a vegetable market out there, I have to climb over the wall to get in.”

“Even if you could walk through the front door, would you dare?”

Luo Yan: “…”

Luo Yan looked around and didn’t see Shen Pin. He suddenly laughed. “Is this a kind of date between you and me, behind his band? So do you think, if he knew about…”

“Rest assured, I’ll help kill you for him.”

“…”

Luo Yan retained a psychopathic smile on his face. “What do you want me for?”

“Did you kill General Song?”

“General Song?” Luo Yan tried hard to recall this name. “No, I’m busy, okay? I don’t have time to kill anyone. Do you think I’m an idler like you?”

He failed two consecutive times. So Luo Yan had been studying on that these days.

“I thought you Beiyue prepared to seize the imperial capital directly.”

Luo Yan: “…”

Luo Yan was a little shocked to receive such a sudden suspicion, but soon he figured out what the situation was.

However…

“I don’t know if they have done that, I need to go back and ask them.”

He followed the ambassadors here all for Qi Yu.

He stayed longer. But after the work with Fengqi’s side, the ambassadors also didn’t leave.

He wasn’t in charge of things, so if he didn’t ask, he wouldn’t know what the delegation was doing and they also wouldn’t tell him anything voluntarily.

So Luo Yan really didn’t know whether his country’s people had done that.

Ming Shu expressed her admiration. “You are really good at your job, Prince!”

The psychopath smiled. “If I want to take down a country, I won’t bother using that troublesome method.”

“Okay, keep bragging.”

You couldn’t even handle a little demon, yet you’re bragging that you could take down a country? 

Just brag as much as you like. 

Luo Yan formed a fake smile, then turned away.

After landing on the other side of the wall, Luo Yan clapped his hands.

He looked back at the wall and felt a little strange. He could actually talk to this woman in that way.

She…

He didn’t feel any hostility from her, as if she had completely forgotten what he did before.

No…

She definitely didn’t forget it.

If he thought like that, he would pay for that naive thinking later.

She seemed to show very little overt hostility to people, but she held it all inside.

Luo Yan suddenly felt a little frightened.
