"Let's go!" Su Tong nodded quickly, smelling the smell of blood in front of her, resisting the rumbling in her stomach, covering her nose and followed.
The terrain of the palace was already familiar. Su Tong walked in front, turning through the complicated corridors, and soon arrived at the emperor's palace.
She thought she would follow her to find out, but as soon as she raised her leg, a eunuch carrying a lantern on patrol walked towards her. Su Tong panicked and quickly took a few steps back to hide in the dark.
Yan Luo's eyes were slightly cold, and he reflexively wanted to raise his hand to "solve" the troublesome person, but Su Tong held him back: "Don't!"
She pulled Yan Luo over with force and made a gesture of silence. It wasn't until the eunuch walked away that she breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go, don't kill anyone..."
That kind of bloody scene made her sick, and she didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately for a bead. That bead already carried too much hatred and sin, and she didn't want it to "increase in value" in her own hands!
Yan Luo was stunned, wondering about Su Tong's change. He pursed his lips and paused for a long time. Finally, he put down his hand without saying a word, followed Su Tong, and watched her tiptoeing towards the emperor's palace.
After bypassing the guards outside the dormitory, Su Tong lay down on the window on the side of the dormitory. Before he could open the window grilles and look in, he heard a roar coming from inside.
"They are all a bunch of idiots! Trash!" This was the emperor's voice, and Su Tong could recognize it.
"Your Majesty... you were not in the palace during the day, and my servant, my servant did not come here... so..." A spy and trembling voice immediately sounded, with some inexplicable familiarity.
Su Tong frowned and suddenly remembered: That was the sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked confidant eunuch beside the emperor!
"How did that thing disappear?" The emperor continued to roar, "Why did I leave you in the palace? Even a dog must know how to look after the house. What about you?"
Hearing this, the corner of Su Tong's mouth couldn't help but raise a touch of sarcasm - this look is really a bit of a dog-eat-dog attitude! She wants to completely shirk the responsibility!
Are you anxious because of Yuxi?
"But slave..." The eunuch still wanted to defend himself and wanted to say that he was innocent. As soon as he raised his head, he met the emperor's cold eyes. He shrank his neck in fright and immediately humbled himself, "You deserve to die! You deserve to die! Your Majesty!"
Calm down!"
No matter how innocent he is, he is just a eunuch; no matter how unreasonable the other party is, he is still the emperor! Going against the emperor will definitely not bring good results!
"Get out of my way!" the emperor roared angrily, and at the same time he made a "bump" sound, as if he raised his foot and kicked the eunuch out directly, "Look for me! If you don't find it before noon tomorrow! You don't have to come back alive!"
"
"Yes, yes, yes." The eunuch responded in a trembling voice, opened the thick red door with a "squeak", and ran out crawling on the ground...
Su Tong listened to the sound and watched the eunuch running out of the front door in the dark, shaking his head to investigate. The pride on his face became even stronger - the dead eunuch with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks! I have disliked you for a long time! I just took advantage of this opportunity.
This is an opportunity to use the emperor’s hand to get rid of you!
The most satisfying thing is to eliminate evil with evil!
After the eunuch left, the room became noticeably quiet. Only the emperor's heavy breathing could be heard. It seemed that he had not adjusted his breathing after getting angry. Su Tong waited outside for a long time, until it was completely silent inside, and then cautiously stretched out his hand.
I cut a hole in the window and looked inside——
The emperor sat alone in front of the desk, still twisting the note she left in his hand that said "Anyone who commits unjust behavior will be punished by death." It was not clear what the expression on his face was, but the overall effect of him sitting there was actually...
It gives people an inexplicable feeling of vicissitudes of life.
It's like...he also has troubles!
Su Tong shook her head and quickly suppressed the thought that just popped up in her mind: She is not the Virgin Mary, and she does not have so much sympathy left to overflow! Bad people are just bad people!
"How long do you plan to watch?" Yan Luo, who was standing by the side, finally got impatient. "What do you want, just rush in and ask him to hand it over?"
He always does things directly and respects his master, so how could he wait eagerly outside the window?
It’s too damaging to the image!
"You can't rush in!" Su Tong retorted without thinking, "He is the king of a country after all. Whether he lives or dies is not our decision."
She is not from this country, and she does not want to cause chaos in this country. She can see the emperor's good and bad times, but whether it is life or death, it is better to leave it to Yu Wenmo.
She has not forgotten the bloody lessons of the Xuanyuan Dynasty - how much chaos will be caused by the death of an emperor? If the emperor here is killed rashly today and the Huangfu Dynasty also becomes chaotic like this, how will she explain to Yu Wenmo?
"You! Alas..." Yan Luo glanced at her angrily, and when he saw the seriousness on her face, he finally sighed and fell silent. He stood quietly beside him, looking away at the stars in the sky: That's all
, today, just think that I am here to protect her.
Whatever she wants, he can protect her.
Inside, the emperor sat for a long time, finally stood up, put the piece of paper in his hand on the candle, lit it, and murmured: "My jade seal will definitely come back! No one can take away my world!"
His words made Su Tong panic, and a feeling suddenly arose in her heart: The emperor might know who stole the jade seal!
With a cold look, she watched the emperor approach the wall, lift up the painting hanging on the wall, and reveal the hidden compartment inside.
"Damn..." Su Tong cursed in her heart, "It turns out there is a trap here! I didn't even have time to look through this place during the day..."
"As long as I don't give it to you, you can't take it away!" The emperor opened the secret compartment, took out a string of beads from the brocade box inside, and said through gritted teeth.
Of course, Su Tong didn't understand the profound meaning contained in this sentence at the time.
Then, he threw the beads inside, took out a porcelain bottle from the side, sprinkled something into it, put down the painting again, and walked into the back room with a sneer...
