But he couldn't lose his bottom line. Even if he had to give up some secret treasure, he had to get the key to the Linglong Tower.

The storyline states that the exquisite tower is a rare find, and in the end, the protagonist burns it down, leaving nothing behind. However, the protagonist has used the items inside to change his fate.

The protagonist's halo is also stable enough.

So he had to get the key to the Linglong Tower no matter what and try to occupy that place. But the people in the Evil Mansion would definitely not be happy about it, so he couldn't push them too hard.

It's easy to backfire and get screwed.

"I still want the Linglong Tower. I want an answer within three days."

If he doesn't get a good answer, Su Xi will be thrown directly into prison.

Su Lie gritted his teeth, packed up and went out. As for the gifts he had given away, he could not ask for them back. After all, he was the one who asked the emperor for help first.

Let’s go back and report first.

Su Xi returned to Suxue Palace, where she was stopped by several concubines. Seeing that she was a newcomer who didn't even have a maid, it was even more blatant.

Then another group of people quietly went to Suxue Palace.

*

Yu Huatian sat respectfully on a wooden chair beside him. This was his first time sitting on equal footing with the emperor, and he had to lower his head, not daring to look directly at him. After all, who in this world would dare to sit on equal footing with the emperor?

"Yuhuatian."

"I am here!"

He still felt that Yu Huatian was much better than that group of people.

As for why Yu Huatian was called here, the most important thing was actually the previous incident with Su Xi.

"Where did you meet Su Xi?"

Yu Huatian was stunned for a moment, and his expression showed that he wanted to know who Su Xi was.

"The eldest lady of the Evil House."

"Your Majesty, I encountered them in the wilderness. When I met them, I was fighting one of them, using her as a shield. He was ultimately defeated."

"Then the woman ran away. I had a portrait of her, so I could only chase her with all my might, but I didn't dare to use too much strength."

Yu Huatian spoke for such a long time, but he only grasped one piece of information. His expression was unfriendly and a little sarcastic.

"It seems that Chu Zhan ran away and formed an alliance with someone."

"Your Majesty, why are you always obsessed with Chu Zhan?"

“…”

What kind of words were these? How could he be so obsessed with Chu Zhan? He hated that guy so much that he was almost ready to kill him with a knife. He just didn't expect that after beating people with sticks, no one would actually come to save him.

He really didn't expect it.

But this time Chu Zhan escaped and he was lucky. He may not be so lucky next time!

Nowadays, his skills have improved by leaps and bounds, but they are only limited to his defense. Although his attack is high, it is also very laborious and one big move can drain him dry.

What can I do?

Even if they were chasing the protagonist, they couldn't chase me. Besides, I still had that powerful official...

"Yu Huatian, do you feel anything strange?"

Yu Huatian was stunned again, perhaps because he felt that he had been stunned too many times today. He shook his head and did not notice anything unusual.

"Then Chu Zhan rebelled. Could it be that you just got the news?"

Yu Huatian rubbed his hands together and widened his eyes, his eyes filled with anger, clearly angered by what he had just said. And when he learned that Chu Zhan had escaped from prison, his expression became even more astonished.

The plot was so exciting that he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, may I help you deal with it?"

I am afraid that if the rainwater is not treated properly, the rain-forming field will be lost.

"Then Su Xi was kidnapped by Chu Zhan. Now Chu Zhan is not only plotting treason but also intends to kidnap and traffic others. His crime should be punished with the punishment of his entire clan."

"Indeed."

The Hanlin Academy was quite quiet at the time, and Zhuge Liang was only there to supervise it in name only. However, Zhuge Liang was very popular during this period.

It is an honor to be remembered by the entire Hanlin Academy.

Everyone there praised Mr. Zhuge Liang highly, and there was always a constant stream of people coming to see him. Fortunately, Zhou Yu was not around yet, otherwise he would have been pissed off to death by Zhuge Liang.

If we have Yu, why do we need Liang?

Although she was only detained for two days, Su Xi had a blast in the palace. The emperor even threw her a token that allowed her to wander around but not leave the palace. As long as she had this token, no one would dare to mess with her.

That's great.

The sisters under this emperor brother are too fierce.

In the past two days, she has almost recognized all the concubines in the palace, except for... the Empress Dowager, who is the mother of the country.

Although the Changle Palace also had people paying respects every day, the queen would never leave the main gate or the secondary gate, and would just sit in her room waiting for the people to pay respects. And every time some of them went in, they would come out crying.

Zhao Xin had been busy recently, and after some time to relax, he decided to go to the Queen's room. As soon as he entered, he saw Su Qingyu sitting in a chair, looking unhappy. Her unpainted face was covered with tear marks.

She thought she was used to not having the emperor's favor, but she never expected that she couldn't control her inner emotions now. The emperor only ignored her for a few days and she didn't know what was going on.

"Why are you crying, Yu'er?"

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said it, Su Qingyu leaned on his arm, with a slight gasp.

"Your Majesty, do you no longer love me?"

“…”

Was he doting on Su Qingyu too much? Who would talk about love with the emperor these days? He was also obsessed with it even though he knew it would lead to nothing... But Zhao Xin inexplicably liked her.

He thought Su Qingyu's expression was quite cute, and he liked it very much.
