The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

After Lu Shi left, a figure appeared silently in front of Xie Yue and knelt on one knee to salute.

"Master, the emperor has his own people, do you want me to be your subordinate..."

The man in black made a slight gesture of wiping his neck.

"No need."

Xie Yue waved the person away, his eyes swept over the plate of cold osmanthus cake on the table, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a sincere smile finally appeared in his dark eyes.

If she could really train her own people under his iron wall, then the little emperor would be quite capable. Just think that he had been dazzled before and had not thought she had this ability.

In this way, his mission can be completed faster...

……

The morning light is dim, the golden crow slowly rises from the horizon, and the cool breeze brings the fragrance of osmanthus.

Life is beautiful, but reality is cruel. At least that's what Lu Shi, who was woken up at six o'clock, felt.

Looking at the sunrise outside, Lu Shi yawned out of boredom.

Mu Tou Ruofeng only had a few words in his mouth, either asking her to do homework or asking her to do homework, and she was tired of hearing them.

She got no response when she spoke to him. He kept threatening her with the Regent, saying he would cut down on her food and clothing. But she was completely under his control.

Lu Shi shook her head helplessly, but she still took out the book and started reading.

But he has his own plan, and I have my own way to get over the wall.

The vertical book was slightly larger, and Lu Shi put a small storybook inside it and read it with great interest.

In Ruofeng's sight, the little emperor was reading a book peacefully and attentively, with no signs of distraction.

Ruofeng was very satisfied and felt that he had completed the task assigned by the prince exceptionally well.

But in the eyes of Xie Yue who came in from outside, everything Lu Shi did was visible.

Xie Yue walked over and took out the short storybook that Lu Shi was reading.

"A Few Things the Domineering Regent and His Guards Have to Say".

Guards...?

Two or three things?

Xie Yue's mouth twitched, and he was silent for a moment, "Is this the book your Majesty reads all day?"

Lu Shi was extremely embarrassed. When the two parties found out that he was reading their fan fiction, what color crack in the ground should he find to crawl into?

"Don't be offended, Your Majesty. I just change my taste occasionally."

Xie Yue threw the notebook on the table, his expression unchanged, making it impossible to tell his emotions.

"Your Majesty, if you have such leisure time, it must be because you have less homework. From now on, your Majesty's homework will be doubled."

Lu Shi was stunned. Double? She would have to copy two books instead of one?

The regent's punishment is so unoriginal.

She had already thought of a way to deal with it, and it didn't hurt at all for her.

But this was what she really thought, and she would never show it.

Lu Shishi showed a look of deep regret at the same time, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

Xie Yue looked at Lu Shi with a little surprise, as if he didn't expect that she would take the punishment so easily. According to her personality, she should find an excuse to avoid punishment.

As if he had thought of something, he asked, "Your Majesty, have you finished your homework yesterday?"

"Of course I've finished it!" Lu Shi picked up a stack of rice paper from the desk and handed it to Xie Yue.

Xie Yue lowered his eyes to take a look, and finally took it.

He raised his hand and looked at it.

The completion is acceptable, but the handwriting is so sloppy that it is unbearable to look at.

He glanced at the little emperor who was clearly seeking praise, and the corners of his mouth rose in an unchanging arc.

"Your Majesty, it's time to practice calligraphy."

"I don't have much time, and the homework has doubled again."

"Didn't Your Majesty have time to leave the palace yesterday?"

Lu Shi was choked and didn't know how to respond, so he simply kept silent.

The curve of Xie Yue's mouth finally became more genuine. "I hope Your Majesty will take the trouble to complete today's homework carefully. Your handwriting should be neat and not perfunctory."

Lu Shi: "...Your Majesty is right."

……

In the afternoon, Lu Shi asked Xiao Kangzi to come in and copy the book. "Xiao Kangzi, please write neatly. My homework depends entirely on you."

"Your Majesty, it's no problem. I'll take care of it." Xiao Kangzi held a handful of golden melon seeds in his hand and smiled with his eyes wide open, revealing his bright big teeth.

Lu Shi changed into his casual clothes and left the palace openly under the nose of the guard from yesterday.

"Xie Yue, Xie Yue!"

"Your Majesty, don't shout."

After what happened yesterday, the guards of the Regent's Palace also knew that Lu Shi would not give up until he saw the prince, so they hurried to explain.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't go in to inform you, but the prince didn't return to the palace after attending the morning court today, so..."

"Then do you know where he went?"

The guard opened his mouth and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Can't you tell me where he's going?"

The guard clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not revealing the prince's whereabouts."

"Alright, alright." Lu Shi didn't want to make things difficult for a subordinate, so he waved his hand and prepared to leave the palace to go for a walk on the street.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, I ran into a carriage that had just returned. The palace logo on the carriage was extremely obvious.

Lu Shi stood there without moving.

The carriage slowly stopped, and a slender hand reached out from inside the carriage to lift the curtain, revealing Xie Yue's stunningly handsome face in the sunlight.

As if favored by God, even every strand of hair is shining.

Xie Yue saw Lu Shi standing in front of his carriage and subconsciously put on a smile. "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"

"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"

"If there is nothing else, Your Majesty, please return to the palace as soon as possible."

Xie Yue suppressed his smile and turned cold. He was very tired after just coming back from the manor and did not want to flatter the person in front of him, so he immediately ordered him to leave.

Seeing Xie Yue about to get off the car, Lu Shi pushed aside the guards beside him and extended his hand, "Your Highness, I will help you get off the car."

She smiled brightly, as if she hadn't heard the order to leave.

Still as thick-skinned as ever.

Xie Yue silently made an evaluation in his heart.

The hand in front of me is white and rosy, but there are many unsightly calluses on the palm.

Xie Yue's eyes moved slightly as if he thought of something, but he finally put his hand on it.

As they walked along the road, Xie Yue asked the Emperor beside him, "Your Majesty, are you leaving the palace alone?"

Lu Shi nodded, "Xiao Kangzi stayed in the palace for something, so I didn't take him with me."

Xie Yue stopped and looked up at Lu Shi, who seemed to be oblivious to the world. His expression darkened. "Your Majesty, it would be better to take more people with you when you leave the palace. The outside of the palace is different from the inside. The danger index has increased exponentially. If you are not careful, you will become a dead soul at the hands of the sword."

Hearing this, Lu Shi was unconcerned. "What kind of danger could there be? Besides, I'm still in the Regent's Palace. Who would dare to come here and assassinate me? The palace is impregnable. I feel it's much safer than the Imperial Palace."

"Really?" Xie Yue murmured softly. His face was expressionless, but a myriad of emotions were surging in his eyes.

Xie Yue didn't chase him away in the end, and Lu Shi shamelessly waited for dinner in the Regent's Palace.

Then, while eating, Lu Shi felt that something was wrong.

Nothing that was said today is true. This palace is really not safe at all!

Xie Yue must have known that someone was going to assassinate her tonight, so he deliberately took advantage of the situation and invited her to dinner!

It's really despicable that he deliberately tried to scare her fragile little heart!

As Lu Shi was muttering inwardly, the assassin's sword had already slashed in front of him, heading straight for his heart...
