At the same time, the large red light in the upper right corner of the "Dawn Mall" virtual transparent panel kept flashing.

Ituma Shushu wasn't too surprised; she estimated that this time it would also be an arrow-level dragon energy value.

After regaining her composure, Ituma Shushu immediately used her mind to create a small hand.

I pressed a button on the constantly flashing red headlight.

Immediately afterwards, the red headlights disappeared.

On the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall," the following was displayed:

Aisin-Gioro Hongzhao

[Dragon Aura: ***] [↑] [↑] [↑] [↑] [↑] [↑] [↑] [↑] [↑]

[Note: Having consumed the Emperor Stone, one must become the next emperor; otherwise, the moment another emperor ascends the throne will be the moment of one's demise.]

Ituma Shushu stared blankly at the arrow on the panel for a moment.

She put down her teacup and rubbed her eyes.

After that, Ituma Shushu opened her eyes wide again to look at the panel.

One, two, three, ... seven, eight, nine.

...

One, two, three, ... seven, eight, nine.

Yes, I didn't miscount; there are nine arrows this time too.

In other words, it's the same as when Hongzhao was promoted to the rank of Gushan Beizi last time.

But why this time?

Why are there nine arrows representing the increase in Hongzhao's dragon energy this time?

Well, it's impossible for Hongzhao to be promoted to Dorobele so quickly!

Ituma Shushu was completely baffled.

Finally, after hesitating for a while, Ituma Shushu gave up on thinking about it.

Well, she plans to ask Hongxu, Hongxuan, Honghao, and Hongyao after they return from the Imperial Study.

Although Ituma Shushu doesn't yet know what exactly happened that caused Seventh Prince Hongzhao's dragon energy to increase so much.

However, this did not stop Ituma Shushu from being overjoyed at the moment.

You have to understand that every day that passes brings us closer to the day Emperor Yongzheng passes away.

Therefore, each additional arrow represents an additional glimmer of hope.

Yes, Ituma Shushu stopped hoping to extend Emperor Yongzheng's life a few years ago.

She felt that the merit exchange from the "Dawn Mall" last time should have been the limit.

...

"Hongzhao, what brings you here today with Hongxu and the others?"

Ituma Shushu looked at the Seventh Prince Hongzhao walking ahead with a puzzled expression and asked.

At the same time, Ituma Shushu had a sudden thought: it must be related to the dragon energy value of the nine arrows today.

Seventh Prince Hongzhao, Eighth Prince Hongxu, and Ninth Prince Hongxuan exchanged glances.

He approached Ituma Shushu with a solemn expression and cautiously said, "Mother, we have something very important to tell you."

Looking at the expression on Seventh Prince Hongzhao's face, Ituma Shushu felt a tremor in her heart. It shouldn't be a bad thing, right?

She calmed herself down, since Hongzhao's dragon aura had shown an increase.

There's a 90% chance this isn't a bad thing.
