Chapter 855: Breaking into the Tower of Babel to Fight for the Queen
Su Nuan was startled and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what is the Tower of Babel?"
Xue smiled and said, "It's not quite right to call it a tower. This building is very strange. It only looks like nine floors from the outside, but once you go inside, there are a hundred floors."
"Ten people can enter at a time. There's a sign outside the tower showing their name and floor number. You can claim an official position based on your performance."
Su Nuan became interested and asked, "Has anyone passed the level yet?"
Xue nodded, "Lingyun is on the 100th floor. Your eldest brother is stuck on the last floor and can't get up. It seems he didn't answer a question correctly."
Su Nuan licked her lips and began to get restless.
Xue frowned and said, "You are not allowed to go. You are already five months pregnant and you still want to run around."
"I heard that it not only tests various kinds of knowledge, but also tests kung fu. If you want to go, you have to wait until you give birth."
Su Nuan didn't have the patience to wait. She touched her belly and it wasn't very big, just like she was full from eating too much.
We must go to the Tower of Babel, but we must get rid of the Xue family first.
Just as Su Nuan was absentmindedly eating her meal, the old man said, "The Emperor said that the ceremony of crowning the queen will be held next month."
The middle-aged man opposite him said, "Yes, I heard that Su Nuan is back. She must be the queen, there is no doubt about it."
The tiger-skinned man heard the voices and asked, "Which family is your queen from?"
"I heard that all the capable women in the city have gone to climb the Tower of Babel. They also said that whoever reaches the 100th floor will become the queen. Is this true?"
The scholar across from him drank a glass of wine and started chatting, "I've heard that many talented women have climbed the tower. The one who has climbed the highest level so far is our country's Princess Fuyang, who is on the 86th floor."
"It is said that she continued climbing the tower today and plans to complete it in fourteen days to become the queen."
"Is the Emperor's ceremony to establish his empress prepared for her? Otherwise, the timing is too coincidental."
Su Nuan asked in a low voice: "Mother, do you know this Princess Fuyang?"
Xue nodded, "I know, but don't listen to their nonsense. There's no rule that says a woman can become queen just by passing the test."
Su Nuan nodded. She still believed this. Ling Yun was not so casual in choosing the queen.
But this Tower of Babel should not be an ordinary object. Could it be built by Hai Lan?
The voice of the space spirit entered Su Nuan's mind, "Hai Lan said that the Tower of Babel is a teleportation array. People who enter it don't stay in the tower, but are transported to another place to undergo tests."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to build a hundred-story tower in this era."
With this explanation, Su Nuan understood the principle. If she could teleport to Blue Star, then the local teleportation array would be even easier to build.
She stroked her chin and asked in her mind, "Can we build some teleportation arrays in various parts of Yuan Country? This would make it easier to unify the country."
"And from now on, any urgent memorials from any place can be delivered quickly without being delayed on the road."
The Space Spirit laughed, "Hahahaha... you all wanted to go the same way."
"Lingyun is currently working with Hailan to build a teleportation network. Some places are too far to reach directly, so they require a transfer."
"But we were worried about the packages being swapped during transit. This problem has not been solved, so the progress has been stuck."
Su Nuan responded with disdain, "Isn't this easy? Give the local officials a special lock and key. Once they lock it, no one else can open it. We don't have to worry about it getting swapped out at several transit stations."
"Then Ling Yun has another key. When he gets the box, he can use the key to open it. He can also use the original box to send the reply letter. When it reaches the local area, the local officials can just open it and read it."
The space spirit didn't say anything for a long time, probably because he went to report to Hai Lan.
Soon, Hai Lan's voice appeared in Su Nuan's mind, "I still have a lot of problems here. If you have nothing to do, come in and work."
Su Nuan, “…” If she had known earlier, she should have kept her mouth shut. She wouldn’t have been forced to do hard labor if she didn’t know anything.
"I understand, but wait until I finish conquering the Tower of Babel."
Hai Lan didn't force her to go back to work, but just reminded her: "I'll give you one day, take care of yourself."
Su Nuan touched her nose. With only one day given, how long did it take others to reach the 86th floor?
She asked, "Mother, how long did it take Princess Fuyang to reach the 86th floor?"
Xue smiled and said, "She's quite fast, completing one level a day. Many people take four or five days to complete one level."
Su Nuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Other people could only do one layer a day, but Hai Lan asked her to do a hundred layers a day. This was really putting her in a difficult position.
Forget it, don’t think too much about it. At worst, I’ll go to the space a few days later, and he can only nag a few words, but there’s nothing he can do.
At this time, people began to come to the restaurant, and soon the lobby was full of people.
Su Nuan listened with her ears pricked up, and most of the conversation was about the Tower of Babel.
Xue suddenly said, "Look over there, that woman in yellow is the Princess of Fuyang."
Su Nuan looked over and saw Princess Fuyang with an apple-shaped face and calm eyes, and she exuded a calmness that was not in line with her age.
The pink-dressed girl next to her said, "Princess, you start climbing the tower tomorrow and you'll be at the top by the end of the month."
"Then the coronation ceremony will be held in half a month. I wonder when my uncle and the others will arrive."
Princess Fuyang said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether they come or not. I am the fastest and highest-level woman now. No matter who comes, they can't catch up with me."
"When I reach the 100th floor, Ling Yun will not be able to refuse even if he has other reasons. After all, this is what the people want."
The girl in the pink dress nodded. "Yes, he has just started to establish the country, the foundation is unstable, and the people are not united. If Ling Yun makes a woman who the people do not approve of as queen, it will arouse public anger."
Princess Fuyang smiled slightly, her eyes revealing an unconcealable pride. "Don't worry, I will prove that I am the best and only I am worthy of standing by his side."
The girl in the pink skirt suddenly said, "I heard Ling Yun liked a girl named Su Nuan before, and it seems she's back."
Princess Fuyang sneered, "Isn't she just a woman pregnant with a bastard? I'm not afraid."
"Besides, this woman used to be his sister-in-law. He doesn't dare to make Su Nuan the queen, otherwise the spit will drown him."
The girl in the pink dress nodded. "Yes, this ethics cannot be violated. If the royal family were to have a scandal like the one involving two wives, it would attract criticism."
When Xue heard this, her expression turned very ugly, and then she said guiltily, "Nuannuan, I'm sorry."
Su Nuan was stunned by her sudden apology, "What?"
Mrs. Xue was a little amused and touched Su Nuan's forehead. "Why are you so heartless?"
Su Nuan covered her forehead and asked a little aggrievedly: "I have it, where else can I not have it?"
Xue sighed and decided not to say anything. Su Nuan didn't care that much, so why should she care?
The Princess of Fuyang continued, "If the Emperor wanted to make Su Nuan the Queen, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"
"So I think it must be the emperor's relatives who wouldn't allow it. After all, it's shameful to make a woman like that the queen."
