Chapter 1196: All The Careerists (26)
“Can you cook?”
As Shen Yan was just about to tell Ming Shu that she would leave with Duanmu Shu, Ming Shu suddenly said this without warning and blocked what she was going to say.
“...N-no.”
She was at least a princess, how would it be that she could cook?
Besides, cooking was a man’s job in Fengqi State.
Women’s hands were used to guard the country.
Ming Shu probably thought of that, too. She asked again, “Can Duanmu Shu cook?”
“...” What exactly did the prime minister mean to say?
“I... I can cook a few dishes,” Duanmu Shu answered in a weak voice.
Duanmu Shu was the male protagonist!
The male protagonist’s skills of cooking could also be lit!
Ming Shu’s eyes lit up and she looked at Duanmu Shu. “Don’t you just want to know who poisoned him? That’s simple.”
Shen Yan: “...”
What was simple?!
How would it be simple?
Ming Shu’s unique operation was not something that ordinary people could understand.
She went straight to the royal palace.
Hearing this news, Shen Yu ordered the imperial guards to surround the palace she was in right away.
But she waited for half a day, and no one came at all.
“Where is she going?”
“Your Majesty, Lady Prime Minister... She, she went in Yuhua Palace’s direction.”
“What did she go there for?” Hasn’t she already kidnapped Duanmu Shu?
Thinking of this, Shen Yu hated Ming Shu even more.
“...” How would he know that?
Shen Yu asked again, “Is she alone?”
“Yes.”
Shen Yu felt she was such an oppressed empress.
The woman only entered the palace, but she was so frightened.
Elder Feng, that waste. She hadn’t sent any news after so long.
Shen Yu waited for the news restlessly.
The imperial guards soon reported Ming Shu’s movments to Shen Yu. She went to Yuhua Palace, then visited the imperial study.
Then she left with two palace attendants.
Shen Yu smashed everything on the table.
“You bunch of wastes! She came to the palace blatantly and took some people out, yet you didn’t know to stop her! Are you all dead?!”
“...” Your Majesty, you didn’t ask us to stop her.
Besides, how was it possible they could stop her?
Shen Yu vented her anger then sat in the dragon chair depressedly.
“Go and find out what she is doing.”
“Yes...”
The imperial guards took the order. They couldn’t get information from the prime minister mansion, but they could ask about Yuhua Palace and the imperial kitchen.
“Your Majesty, the prime minister came to investigate who... who had poisoned the imperial husband.”
“Poison?” Shen Yu raised her voice. “What poison?”
“The imperial kitchen’s people said, His Highness was poisoned by someone through his food, so he became...” Like that.
...
One of the two people Ming Shu took away was the implementer, and the other was responsible for passing on messages.
The latter knew who was behind this, but didn’t intend to tell Ming Shu.
As for the antidote, they didn’t have any on them.
Of course, Ming Shu got her answer in the end anyway.
But...
“Daliang State?”
Why did Daliang State poison Duanmu Shu?
Multinational poison? Were they mad?
“It’s my bad.” Shen Yan seemed to think of something and her eyes lowered. “I got him in trouble.”
Ming Shu: “...” Abused deep relationship again?
Shen Yan left alone, leaving Duanmu Shu at the mansion.
It was said she was going to find the antidote.
Ming Shu was with Shen Pin then and didn’t know until Shen Yan had left for several hours.
But no one knew where Shen Yan was going.
“Why did she leave Duanmu Shu here?” She asked me to take care of him, take care of him?!
Just thinking about it would make Ming Shu angry.
“Don’t play around.”
“You don’t like me anymore.”
“When did I like you?”
“...” Shen Pin glared at Ming Shu and suddenly burst out, “If you don’t like me, why did you sleep with me?”
“That doesn’t mean I like you. We all have desires,” Ming Shu explained seriously. “I just happen to need a man.”
Shen Pin fumed. “You’re talking nonsense!”
Ming Shu: “...”
I’m not talking nonsense, okay? People have desires! There’s nothing wrong with it!
“I’m going to throw him out.” Shen Pin suddenly walked toward Duanmu Shu’s room.
“He’s someone else’s man, why are you being so jealous?” Ming Shu stood up and followed him. “Stop where it should stop.”
Shen Pin paused and turned around. He said angrily, “Then you say you like me.”
Seeing Ming Shu remain silent, Shen Pin turned around again and went to Duanmu Shu aggressively.
Ming Shu pulled him hurriedly. “I like...”
Shen Pin blinked and expected her following words.
Ming Shu continued, “...you in bed.”
Shen Pin: “???”
Ming Shu really pissed off Shen Pin and was shut outside that night.
Shen Pin had a bad temper and Ming Shu had never been treated like this before.
Ming Shu sat outside and looked up at the stars in the sky.
Why were there some people that could say “I like you” and “I love you” so easily?
Facing the one you liked the most...
Shouldn’t it be very very cautious?
Poop-picker.
Little Beastie suddenly jumped on the step next to her.
It shook its fur.
Ming Shu leaned on her hands behind her and turned her head to look at it.
Little Beastie sat on the floor, staring at Ming Shu honestly with its black, jewel-like eyes.
Are you really going to accept that ugly guy?
Ming Shu looked into the sky again.
Little Beastie grunted. What’s so good about that ugly biped? You’re actually going to accept him!
Ming Shu reached out to catch Little Beastie in her hand and put it on her legs, poking its forehead with fingers. “Why do you dislike him so much?”
Little Beastie avoided Ming Shu’s poking and rolled inside along with her clothes.
I never liked him. He’ll be a disaster for you.
Shashasha—
The cool wind blew through the courtyard, the trees swaying.
Ming Shu raised her hand again and half-covered it. “How do you use this sentence now, I thought you hated this sentence.”
Little Beastie suddenly fell silent. The fur all over its body softened, turning it into a small ball, and it curled under Ming Shu’s palm.
“So, sometimes dangerous things don’t necessarily bring disaster, right?”
Little Beastie remained quiet for a while.
Will you abandon me?
After... after you have that one.
Ming Shu rubbed it softly with her fingers. “No.”
Little Beastie held her fingers and rubbed against them.
Neither will I.
But that doesn’t mean I approve of that ugly biped.
He doesn’t even have fur!
Ming Shu: “...”
I really can’t agree with a beast’s aesthetic standard.
If little goblin grew hair, what would he be? Ape man? A monkey?
Ming Shu couldn’t help but get goosebumps. Thankfully he didn’t grow hair.
“Are you coming in or not?”
Shen Pin’s voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
Ming Shu immediately threw Little Beastie into the grass beside her. She got up conveniently and looked behind her.
Little Beastie roared.
Poop-picker, you bastard!
I’ll break up with you!
Shen Pin stood at the half-open door and poked out his head to look at her, a pillow in his arms.
“I’m coming in.” Ming Shu moved obediently.
Shen Pin blocked the way. “You...”
The following words were blocked by Ming Shu. By the time Shen Pin came to his senses, he was already lying on the bed, his clothes almost off.
And the pleasure that came afterward made him have no energy to question Ming Shu further.
