"You...Emperor, what do you want to do?"
Zhao Xin let go of her hand coldly, and Su Xi collapsed onto the bed with a thud. She gasped in pain, perhaps having bumped her leg.
"Someone come, call the imperial physician."
Su Xi was stunned, and the look in her eyes when she looked at the emperor changed.
This emperor is quite good and cares about people.
Zhao Xin withdrew and walked out, but saw the group of people from the Evil House at the door. He didn't ask their names before, but just waved them in and told them to go in and get the people.
Then he walked towards the Zichen Palace in annoyance.
He'd barely sat down, barely even warmed his butt, when the memorials started to make him feel uneasy. Was it necessary to make such a big fuss about a mere tranquility festival?
The Anshen Festival is a custom passed down from our ancestors, a day for commemorating ancestors. The placement and decorations on that day were very particular, and even a book series titled "Anshen Ji" was passed down from that time.
If he remembered correctly, this book was probably meant for the Grand Herald to memorize. Liu Min hadn't been involved in this kind of thing in recent years, so he probably had almost forgotten it.
As for the book "An Shen Ji", he seemed to have seen it there too...
Zhao Xin searched around and finally found a gilded, exaggerated book in the large hollow bookshelf behind. He thought it looked familiar, so he took it down and took a closer look. It turned out to be the book on the cover.
After flipping through the contents again, I found that it was a mixture of good and bad.
The flamboyant handwriting reminded him of the prescriptions the doctor had given him when he went to the hospital. He guessed that this person was the ancestor of doctors. The earthworms he drew were very unsettling to look at.
"Come here, call Heshen."
He Shen walked in with a flattering face, and rubbed his shoulders to help him solve his problems. Zhao Xin didn't keep him in suspense and just threw a book in front of him.
Boom——
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Heshen picked up the book with trembling hands.
The book was bound with embroidery and gold thread, and the three characters "An Shen Ji" were written with a black brush, giving off a sharp feeling and exuding a calligraphic atmosphere.
Heshen was stunned for a long time when he saw these three words, but then he thought about what happened in the court today and probably understood something.
"Your Majesty, this book is about that section?"
This man was very smart. Before he could even give Heshen a hint, he understood. He was indeed a teachable boy. He smiled slightly and nodded. At this time, Heshen also understood something and began to look through the pages.
"Your Majesty, is this book sent to me?"
He waved his hands, as if he was still disdainful of the book.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing that He Shen was translating with great interest, while he couldn't understand it at all, he sighed at the cultural differences. He had to admit that he had never learned calligraphy, especially since his drawings looked like reptiles, who could recognize them?
"Heshen, if you feel busy, I can replace you with someone else. Don't overwork yourself."
If this were said to an ordinary person, they might actually think it was just a simple matter of solving a problem. But Heshen had been around for decades. In other words, he had seen more than he had walked. Naturally, he would think of many more twists and turns.
"I am not tired, I am terrified."
Heshen thought that he was not doing his job well and wanted to send him away.
Zhao Xin really didn't think so.
The young eunuch entered the room again and knelt down: "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you."
Why the hell are there people asking to see him every day? He was just about to have a good chat with Heshen, but he was blocked and didn't know what to say. He just waved his hand and asked Heshen to leave quickly.
"He'd better consult me if he has anything serious to discuss, otherwise he's dead."
As the door opened, the familiar female voice and the deep male voice came in. The man in the lead was really rude and knelt down and kowtowed five or six times. When he raised his head, his forehead was bleeding.
"You kowtow as soon as you enter the door. What have you done wrong?"
Su Xi pulled at her elder brother's robe. Su Lie felt that he was in the wrong, so he just knelt down and didn't get up, as if he wanted to hear the emperor's explanation.
The emperor didn't say anything, and the two of them were in a stalemate.
Even Zhao Xin was leisurely flipping through the memorials, but his face became gloomy from the moment he saw one of them.
The memorial was filled with frustrating words, saying that he sent troops to destroy the evil mansion but brought it back to the palace. The mansion itself had not received good reviews in the industry, and now it had been spread throughout the court by false rumors.
Snap, snap, snap——
"Good job! Why didn't you kowtow to me earlier?"
Su Xi was unhappy, but she didn't dare to speak when she saw the gloomy emperor. She had never seen such a terrifying emperor before. Although he spoke coldly before, he still had a smile on his face.
But Su Xi didn't know that this was a privilege for beautiful women.
The ugly Zhao Xin didn't even bother to look at him.
The man knelt all the time and even pulled Su Xi to kneel with him. The sound of his knees hitting the floor was really painful.
Su Xi gasped in pain, but seeing the awkward atmosphere, she didn't feel comfortable saying anything.
"Brother Emperor, what happened——"
Zhao Xin picked up a memorial at random and threw it down.
"Now, how can I explain this to the Great Qin?"
A cold voice echoed, and Zhao Xin was filled with anger. He didn't know who was so blind as to spread such things. If he caught them, he would definitely give them a skin!
Su Lie didn't look through it, but he probably knew everything.
He was the one who sent people to spread the news, and he even planned to fight to the death with the emperor. Who knew that the emperor really wanted to save people instead of taking the opportunity to destroy his evil mansion.
After all, the rumors outside were too harsh, saying that the emperor sent troops to wipe out the evil mansion and to flatten it.
Who can tolerate this?
"Mute?"
Su Lie still had his head down, no one knew what he was thinking, just like a silent gourd.
"Submit to my Great Qin, or rather, surrender to my hands."
Su Lie hesitated.
"I have three famous armies, so please don't challenge my bottom line."
The three armies under Zhao Xin's command were indeed extremely powerful on the battlefield, especially the Iron Tiger Army, which had been gaining momentum in recent days. Their Villain's Mansion only had martial arts and the Exquisite Pagoda to show for it.
Linglong Tower is the main building of the Evil Palace. The tower is extremely strong and indestructible. It has about ten floors in total, and each floor is beautifully carved. It has been coveted by various countries.
Zhao Xin's original self also liked the exquisite tower and even planned to send troops to seize it. However, the evil mansion kept trying to frustrate him. He was hesitant because he had no power in the court and could not mobilize any large troops, so he could only watch.
Seeing myself being blocked.
"Can you go back and report back and discuss this for a few days?"
“…”
"I don't believe you haven't discussed this with your family's head."
"How dare I say I came here to beg the Emperor of Daqin..."
This emperor was notoriously incompetent. Even though he had made great military achievements recently, rumors were still circulating that it was all due to the conspiracy of his close advisors.
