Chapter 854: Thousands of People, Thousands of Faces



"You... Ouch, forget it."

I've been talking for a long time but still can't make sense of it.

*

"Are you willing to come back?"

As soon as you enter the Linglong Tower, you will find that it is covered with broken glass shards. As you walk further, there are even more broken glass shards, and from time to time there are also broken vase fragments.

Is there a fight going on inside?

Xuanxue had just come in when he noticed the glass shards all around him and his heart tightened. He then ran inside and opened the door without caring about the glass shards all over the floor.

Only scattered things were seen on the second floor.

Several people were lying there.

And they all died tragically, and no one knew what happened. It had only been a short time.

this…

Su Xi swallowed and leaned back, then looked at the scene in front of him and even rubbed his eyes. But sure enough, the man was indeed lying on the ground and was already dead.

“Who are these people?”

Xuanxue was also stunned when he saw this situation. He had discussed it with them before he went there, so this kind of situation would never happen.

"Go up and take a look."

Su Xi didn't wait for the old man to speak and went upstairs to take a look. When she went upstairs, she found that the candles on the third and fourth floors that should have been lit were all out.

And at the corner of the fourth floor, on the stairs leading to the fifth floor, I saw a vase.

Fell to the ground.

"You guys are such a botch! I'll definitely punish you all when I get back to my old house. You've already destroyed this exquisite tower in just a few days!"

The door on the fifth floor gradually opened a crack.

"Boss... burp."

I don't know how much he drank, but he started burping. I guess he drank too much.

Su Xi also had a bad temper and kicked the door open. He found a bunch of people lying in the room, and there was even a drunkard lying next to him, drinking.

"I told you to guard it, and you actually came here to drink?"

Looking again, she found several unfamiliar faces, but of course there was one person she was very familiar with, the little eunuch next to the emperor, Xiao Chenzi.

"Miss...I have no intention of offending you."

Xiao Chenzi was a little confused after drinking so much, but when he saw Su Xi, although confused, he managed to stand up.

He held up his whole body.

"Oh, Miss Suxi, you are finally here. Let's go find His Majesty today!"

"Your Majesty, what do you want to see Your Majesty for?"

Xiao Chenzi recalled Zhao Xin's words again, and felt even more horrified when she thought that if she couldn't wait for Su Xi, she would have to stay here for the rest of her life, so she hurriedly pulled Su Xi out.

Before he even went out, Li Xuan next to him was in a daze.

"Didn't you tell me you couldn't drink alcohol at this time? If you walk out like that, you'll probably be punished to the point of losing all your underwear!"

As soon as the good guy said this, Xiao Chenzi suddenly woke up again.

Making mistakes is normal, but knowing the mistakes and not correcting them is a severe punishment. However, if this girl is allowed to go by herself, it may not be impossible, so...

"How about you go over first, young lady?"

"I don't have any token in my hand. If I don't have my father-in-law to lead me, I'm afraid I'll be stopped before I even get in."

In other words, you are not only a leader but also a token, a token that allows people to move forward unimpeded!

She really didn't want to be stopped, so it would be better to take Eunuch Chen with her.

"It's okay. I have some hangover pills here. Just take me there after you're done."

Xiao Chenzi also took it in a daze, and after taking it, he threw it into his mouth in a daze, but ended up almost spitting it out in disgust.

But in the end I swallowed it to sober up.

I felt a chill running through my limbs and bones. I shuddered and couldn't help but want to cover my throat with my hand.

It felt like he had swallowed a piece of ice.

"This is the consequence of your blind drinking. If you delay His Majesty, can you afford it? Take me there quickly."

Su Xi occupied the commanding heights and said this directly, which made Xiao Chenzi on the opposite side dumbfounded. He had no choice but to listen to her.

"Okay, let's act now."

When Zhao Xin pushed the door open, he saw Xiao Chenzi coming in with a messy head.

“…Xiao Chenzi.”

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenzi rushed to the emperor, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed twice with loud noises.

"I have to say you're in a really good mood..."

These half-spoken words made Xiao Chenzi on the opposite side feel panicked. He had already swallowed something cold, and now he felt even more sweaty and guilty.

There's nothing I can do. I feel guilty.

"What...what's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Look, he is trembling under the emperor's majesty, afraid that the emperor will say something directly.

Could it be that His Majesty knows about this?

Thinking of this, Xiao Chenzi took a deep breath and even tears were brewing. He was just waiting to beg for mercy so that the punishment would be lighter.

"Could it be possible that he went to rob the chicken coop in the middle of the night?"

"ah?"

Xiao Chenzi raised his head in surprise, tears welling up in his eyes as if he was about to cry. He had been building up his emotions for half a day, but now they were all gone.

"What? You didn't even pay attention to your appearance when you came here. Look at your head. If I didn't know you, I would think you came here with a chicken coop on your head!"

Xiao Chenzi touched the chicken coop on his head and felt a little disappointed. He really forgot to wash up when he got up. He drank a lot last night, probably to make up for the alcohol he had not drunk in the first half of his life.

"Your Majesty...I am not..."

"I know that too, so you don't need to say more."

I didn't know anyone around Linglong Tower last night. Besides, the people in the Evil House might have a rebellious mentality. I don't know how scared they would be when they get there.

However, precisely because this is the imperial palace, the group of people on the opposite side did not dare to act rashly.

"Are people coming?"

"Yes, yes, yes... Your Majesty's people are outside. If possible, Your Majesty, please summon them!"

"Let her in."

Su Xi just stepped in and stood aside.

"If I didn't know, I would have thought you weren't planning on coming. Why are you finally here?"

"Your Majesty, yes."

Zhao Xin didn't intend to argue with her, but he really liked the decoration of the Linglong Tower.

"Why did the work suddenly stop these two days?"

"Your Majesty, we are forced to halt work due to a lack of materials. If Your Majesty could donate materials, I would be extremely grateful!"

"No need to thank me, just say it."

"Your Majesty, what we lack is golden sandalwood, and the resources here have been monopolized, so it is difficult to obtain."

"Then why don't you use something else instead of this one?"

"The main reason is... Your Majesty, we've done some research and found that only this wood can be used for good infrastructure, and the finished products are more durable. Most importantly, golden sandalwood is the easiest material to carve, and naturally, it's also more expensive."

Good guy, it’s mainly more expensive, right?
