"His Majesty and the Empress are of one mind," Fu Liu said softly, her head bowed.
Su Xin raised an eyebrow. "Explain yourself clearly."
"Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the emperor; these fine things, even His Majesty has never had the chance to enjoy..."
Even the emperor couldn't get his hands on such delicacies, yet the people of Shangjia Village couldn't finish them all. Isn't this a blatant disregard for imperial authority?
If such a person is not killed, can Xiao Lin sit on the throne with peace of mind?
Su Xin chuckled, "I know what he's thinking."
They are husband and wife, isn't it normal for a couple to be of one mind?
She wants Su Qian dead, so shouldn't he help her?
"Your Majesty," Pingting stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "would it be better to bring in another batch of fruit before His Majesty takes action?"
Su Xin glanced at her and said indifferently, "What, you want to eat too?"
Pingting knew she was joking, but still respectfully said, "This servant is just feeling sorry for Your Highness."
Su Xin glanced up at her and chuckled, "Then let's do as you say."
"Yes." Pingting accepted the order and left.
Fu Liu watched Pingting's departing figure, her eyes filled with an unfathomable darkness.
The Qianqing Palace.
Xiao Lin looked at the canned fruit in front of him, but had no appetite at all. "Call Hu Zi over."
"Yes." The eunuch accepted the order and left.
Tiger cautiously stepped into the main hall, knelt respectfully before Xiao Lin, and bowed, "This humble subject greets Your Majesty."
Although he entered the palace with Xiao Lin, he did not receive any official position.
"Get up." Xiao Lin pointed to the canned fruit in front of him. "Have you ever seen this before?"
Tiger was a little confused. Wasn't this just an ordinary can of fruit?
He honestly replied, "Yes, I have."
"Where?" Xiao Lin's eyes were gloomy, making Hu Zi's heart tighten as well.
“In our village, every year…”
Xiao Lin raised the inkstone and smashed it down on Hu Zi, saying, "You still think things are the same as before?"
How long has it been since the apocalypse?
Zombies are everywhere, and you have to be careful even when you go out, let alone make a batch of canned fruit.
Tiger was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, repeatedly begging, "Your Majesty, spare my life!"
Xiao Lin simply tossed the inkstone at his feet. Looking at Hu Zi's cowardly appearance, Xiao Lin coldly said, "Since you don't know, then I'll tell you, this is something from Shangjia Village."
They had all been to Shangjia Village.
But there aren't that many fruit trees there.
So, where did these fruits come from?
Tiger looked up at Xiao Lin in surprise, but the image of Su Qian eating fruit all the time flashed through his mind.
"I have seen Su Qian take out fruit before."
Xiao Lin looked at him coldly, "Bring the person back to me."
"This humble subject...this humble subject...cannot do it." Putting aside Su Qian's superhuman strength, Shang Tian is not someone to be trifled with either.
Tiger couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the day Su Qian had given them a good beating to help them unleash their superpowers.
"Please spare my life, Your Majesty."
"Heh." Seeing Hu Zi's startled and incoherent words, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sneer, "Since you're afraid she'll beat you, aren't you afraid I'll exterminate your entire family?"
"This humble subject, this humble subject..." Tiger was so anxious that cold sweat poured down his forehead.
He doesn't have nine generations of relatives.
His entire family is dead.
If the emperor discovered his slip of the tongue, would he become enraged and kill him outright?
Tiger thought for a moment and then said, "This humble subject is willing to serve Your Majesty."
"Go."
Xiao Lin waved for the people to leave. These lowly people were truly stupid; they couldn't even understand basic human language.
He would have killed him long ago if he hadn't still been useful.
