Chapter 414: The Giant Seeking Help
Those who were not taken away were all silent. They regretted it so much that they should have turned green. They should not have believed the rumors and come to see the emperor.
"Now that you have all seen me, can you feel at ease to go down and receive your punishment? Anyone who has entered the palace to cause trouble today will be dragged down and severely punished with fifty military sticks. Whether dead or alive, they will be thrown out of the palace."
Fifty military sticks! If you don't die, you won't be able to stand up again for the rest of your life!
The cries of begging for mercy from the beloved ones continued one after another, but Xiao Jin didn't even look at them and directly asked the imperial guards to take the people away.
Duke Jingguo looked at the ministers being taken away and shook his head helplessly.
"Duke Jingguo, follow me in."
Duke Jingguo followed Xiao Jin into the bedroom. As soon as he walked in, the door behind him was closed.
Duke Jingguo knelt down in front of Xiao Jin and saluted, "I am relieved to see that the emperor is in good health."
Xiao Jin looked at him and his expression eased a little. "You've worked hard these days."
Duke Jingguo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has worked hard. I wonder about the Queen's funeral arrangements..."
"The queen is still alive!" Xiao Jin interrupted Duke Jingguo with a cold voice.
Duke Jingguo looked up in surprise and met Xiao Jin's determined expression. He had also sent people to inquire and learned that Su Ying had indeed fallen from the dam into the flood in order to block the crack in the dam. In that situation, how could a person still be alive?
Duke Jingguo felt that the emperor had deep feelings for the queen, but he had to accept reality eventually, but this matter could be delayed.
"Your Majesty, if it weren't for those thieves in Jingzhou, such a major accident would not have happened in Xinba, Jingzhou. Now that Your Majesty has returned, you must severely punish those people..." to comfort the Queen's spirit in heaven!
Duke Jingguo didn't say the latter part because he was afraid that Xiao Jin would be sad.
Xiao Jin's eyes darkened, "I will make them regret being born as human beings!"
No one knew what Duke Jingguo said to Xiao Jin in the palace. After Duke Jingguo left, Xiao Jin ordered people to vacate the rooms in the inner hall of the palace and let the princess and the prince move in.
After Duke Jingguo left, Xiao Jin sat alone in the bedroom in a daze. He was now afraid of being alone. When he was alone, he would miss Su Ying madly.
Xiao Jin clenched his fists and his jaw was tense, but no matter what others said, he always believed that Su Ying must still be alive!
In the darkness, Su Ying heard a voice calling her.
"Su Ying, Su Ying, where are you, Su Ying..."
"Su Ying, you said you would never leave me, Su Ying..."
Su Ying frowned and opened her mouth to respond, but no matter how she struggled, she couldn't move. She could only watch the slender figure moving farther and farther away from her.
"Su Ying, Su Ying!"
"Xiao Jin!"
Su Ying suddenly woke up and realized she was dreaming.
She sat up and rubbed her brows, looking at the moonlight coming through the translucent window in a daze.
She not only missed her child, but also Xiao Jin.
However, she did not exhaust herself too much in this depressed mood. She was not dead and she would always go back.
After waking up with a start, Su Ying lost her sleepiness. She sat cross-legged on the bed and was about to regulate her breathing when she heard a knocking sound coming from the boat.
The night at sea is not peaceful. In the past, there was only the sound of waves hitting the boat, but today the sound was different.
Su Ying stood up and walked to the window, looking at the ship in the moonlight, but saw nothing.
She turned and went out, and as soon as she walked out, she saw Motu coming out of the cabin.
The cabin was dark, but both of them could see each other in the darkness.
"Lady Su, are you still awake so late?"
Su Ying said: "I heard some strange noises and came out to take a look."
"What a coincidence! I heard it too."
The two men walked onto the deck one after the other, and the slapping sound was heard again.
Su Ying came to the fence and just as she walked over, a huge creature suddenly jumped out of the sea and let out a wailing sound.
"Be careful!" Mo Tu quickly walked over and stood in front of Su Ying.
When the giant creature in the sea jumped out of the sea, Su Ying saw its appearance clearly; it was a whale.
The moment the whale jumped out of the water, its tail swept across the boat, and the noise just now was made by it.
It seemed that this was the first time that Motu had seen such a big whale. He turned around cautiously, picked up the harpoon beside him and made an attacking gesture.
Su Ying stopped him and said, "It doesn't look malicious."
Mo Tu turned around and glanced at Su Ying, "Miss Su, do you recognize this monster?"
"kindness."
Even in the end times, there are still marine creatures surviving in the deep sea, and whales are one of them.
This kind of whale is not very aggressive and will not actively attack humans or ships, but tonight it has been circling the ship and looked very painful. It must be asking for help.
Su Ying took out a flashlight and shone it on the sea. In a short moment, the whale jumped out of the sea again, slapping its body heavily on the sea, as if doing so could relieve the pain in its body.
With the help of the light, Su Ying could vaguely see that its body was covered with parasitic barnacles. She knew that this thing would make the whale feel very painful.
It ran to the side of their boat, perhaps to ask them to clean the barnacles off it.
But given their current situation, they have no conditions to help it.
But Su Ying did not suddenly remember the sweet taste of barnacles.
Su Ying licked her lips and said, "I'll go down and take a look."
Motu was shocked. "This monster is so huge. It would be too dangerous for you to go down like this."
"I'll be careful."
Before he could say anything else, Su Ying took off her coat and dived into the sea.
She put on her headlamp and quickly found the location of the whale. She returned to the space, took out the sonar and turned it on so that the whale could receive it.
The sound waves emitted by this sonar can put whales to sleep for a short period of time.
Sure enough, the whale soon calmed down and stood upright in the sea.
Su Ying took out the dagger and the net and quickly approached the whale.
This whale was even bigger than the one she had seen in the apocalypse, but this huge whale was covered with parasitic barnacles that tortured it terribly.
Without any delay, she took out her dagger, knocked down the barnacles and put them into the net.
Motu stood on the deck, pacing back and forth nervously as he saw no movement on the sea for a long time.
Just when Motu couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go into the sea to look for someone, Su Ying suddenly broke out of the water.
Seeing this, Motu quickly threw the hemp rope down and pulled the person up.
Su Ying tied the net on her body to the rope and climbed up along the rope. Then she and Motu pulled up the net of barnacles.
Motu looked at the large bag of barnacles with his eyes wide open in shock, "What, what is this thing?"
Su Ying smiled, "Delicious food."
She dragged a large net bag of barnacles to the kitchen at the back of the boat and asked Motu to boil water.
"You can just throw this thing into water and cook it and eat it? Aren't you afraid of getting poisoned?"
