She wanted to get some fresh air! It stank here; she'd been stinking for two days straight. If it got any worse, she'd use her last few explosives to turn this place into ruins.
So, over the past two days, Lin Yuxin had these two mice help her dig a hole. However, after two days, the hole was still too small, only as thick as a leg.
Lin Yuxin is currently discussing with them, suggesting that they dig up a bigger one.
Right now, they're haggling over the price!
"Hey! If you guys help me dig a bigger hole, I'll give you a reward, how about it?"
"Squeak!"
The two mice looked at each other, then shook their heads and then nodded.
"Don't go too far. I've already given you that water, and I can't give you any more. Even if I did, you shouldn't drink too much. How about I give you something else?"
Lin Yuxin understood what the two mice meant; they wanted the water she had given them the day before yesterday, but Lin Yuxin refused without hesitation.
It wasn't that she was stingy; rather, they had only gained sentience after drinking the water she gave them two days prior. In addition, the mice were too small, and unlike Zizi, they weren't Gu Kings capable of absorbing the energy within them, so she couldn't give them too much.
Moreover, the drinks we had before haven't been fully digested yet.
Zizi said that if they drank too much, they would explode, so she thought of replacing them with something else.
Besides, she has nothing to do here, so she just plays with them for fun. She's also let them dig more holes these past few days to help them digest their energy.
"Squeak!"
One of the mice thought for a moment, then stretched out a hand, tried to stick out a finger, and waved it in front of Lin Yuxin!
Lin Yuxin instantly understood what it meant. It meant that they didn't need any more, just one mouse and one fruit.
Lin Yuxin looked at their chubby bodies and found them very amusing. In the end, she agreed that as long as they could dig a hole within a day so she could get out, she could give them a few more fruits.
Upon hearing this, the two mice's eyes lit up instantly, and they immediately patted their chests with their little paws, looking confident and assured.
Lin Yuxin also laughed out loud.
While Lin Yuxin was busy escaping from prison, Qiu Qiyi didn't have time to bother her because he had discovered that Qiu Jingfan had already started taking action.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince left Bianjing this morning, but I haven't been able to find out where he went."
The guard knelt on the ground to report.
Qiu Qiyi frowned, took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice:
"If you don't know, why aren't you checking? What are you doing here?"
"yes!"
The guards left after receiving their orders, and the other officials standing in the imperial study began to offer suggestions to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince's actions are truly malicious! We must be on guard! Moreover, the Second Prince has been acting so arrogantly these past few days, showing absolutely no respect for Your Majesty!"
"Indeed, Your Majesty, the Zhao Kingdom has been quite turbulent lately, so it's best to be cautious!"
"Lord Hong, what are you saying? How come our Zhao Kingdom is not peaceful? Isn't everything fine?"
"You're just exaggerating. With our Emperor here, who would dare to invade?"
The murmurs and flattery below grew louder and louder, but none of them were of any use. Qiu Qiyi rubbed his aching temples. He was exhausted both physically and mentally from dealing with the pile of state affairs that had accumulated over the past two days.
As a result, this group of useless guys just complain and make sarcastic remarks, but do nothing of substance. Do you really think he's an idiot?
"Smack!"
"Shut up!"
Qiu Qiyi slammed his hand on the table, looked at the arguing ministers below with disgust, and roared.
The imperial study fell silent instantly. The ministers, startled by the emperor's shout, all lowered their heads in fear. They had been so excited in their argument that they had forgotten that their emperor was a hot-tempered man who killed without blinking an eye.
"General Rong, General Qi is not in Bianjing. You are in charge of Bianjing's safety. Investigate immediately, investigate thoroughly. I want to see what kind of trouble Qiu Jingfan is up to. Also, strengthen Bianjing's defenses!"
Qiu Qiyi did not criticize their earlier commotion, but instead directly gave orders to General Rong below.
Qiu Qiyi no longer had the energy to get angry. After his health improved, he was not as good as before, and he was finding it difficult to handle state affairs.
He didn't want to waste time; he always felt he was missing something, and his unease was growing stronger!
Therefore, he needs to prepare in advance.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"
General Rong clasped his hands in response.
"Alright, all of you, get out of here! You're just getting in the way!"
Qiu Qiyi looked at the ministers below, his forehead began to throb again, and he immediately ordered them to leave.
He thought that once he became emperor, he would have supreme power and be able to make everyone listen to him. In the end, everyone listened to him, but he had endless important matters to deal with every day, as well as a group of ministers who were not very capable!
And some of them aren't even on his side!
At this moment, Qiu Qiyi felt an unprecedented exhaustion.
"Your Majesty, wouldn't you like to rest for a while? You haven't rested for two days!"
After Eunuch Luo and the other ministers left, they noticed the emperor's fatigue and asked him in a low voice.
"No need. Take me to the imperial prison. I want to meet with Lin Yuxin."
Qiu Qiyi closed his eyes to rest for a moment, then opened them, shook his head, thought of Lin Yuxin, and suddenly said.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Luo quickly came over to help Qiu Qiyi, and the group went to the prison.
Lin Yuxin was sleeping on the straw mat, which had become much cleaner.
