For the next few days, Ituma Shushu kept silently counting on her fingers.
one,
One, two,
...
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Finally, the seventh day arrived.
When the time came, she immediately took a deep breath and silently said, "Dawn Mall, open."
After Ituma Shushu opened "Dawn Mall", she looked closely and found four buttons of different colors side by side in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall".
Looking at the four buttons of different colors, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety she had been feeling finally subsided.
However, Ituma Shushu was unaware that she had put her mind at ease too soon, as "Dawn Mall" gave her a huge shock.
At the same time, Ituma Shushu's expression relaxed, and she thought to herself: It seems that this time it should be a good thing, just like before.
The last upgrade to "Dawn Mall" brought a list of items; I wonder what this upgrade will bring?
However, the last two upgrades were probably due to something like points.
This time, however, it was because of the absorption of the Emperor Stone's energy. The key point is that "Dawn Mall" found this Emperor Stone from there.
What is the Emperor Stone?
Sigh, let's ignore this Imperial Stone for now.
Previously, the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" had three buttons of different colors side by side in the upper left corner: a light blue button, a light pink button, and a light gold button. This time, however, a purple button has been added.
Ituma Shushu stared at the purple button, lost in thought. The button color was a little different this time. The previous buttons were light blue, light pink, and light gold, all light colors, but this time the color was pure purple.
Will there be any special features in this upgrade of "Dawn Mall"?
Perhaps this upgrade of "Dawn Mall" will bring me a pleasant surprise.
Thinking of this, Ituma Shushu suddenly became a little impatient. She first gently patted her cheeks with both hands, and then exhaled.
Then, full of anticipation, she used her mind to form a small hand and pressed the purple button.
Next, Ituma Shushu saw the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" refresh, and she stared at it intently.
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
Aisin-Gioro Hongzhao
[Dragon Aura: ***]
[Note: Having consumed the Emperor Stone, one must become the next emperor; otherwise, the moment another emperor ascends the throne will be the moment of one's demise.]
Ituma Shushu thought she was seeing things. She couldn't help but rub her eyes and continue to stare intently. When she saw the sentence again, "Note: Having taken the Emperor Stone, one must become the next emperor; otherwise, the moment another emperor ascends the throne will be the moment of one's death,"
Her thoughts seemed to freeze completely at that moment, as if she were frozen by a huge block of ice, unable to think or act any further.
For the rest of the time, Ituma Shushu sat there motionless, like an old tree.
She only regained some consciousness when the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan grabbed her clothes.
It turned out that the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan had just been calling for their mother, but when they saw that she didn't respond to them as usual, they put down their calligraphy brushes and ran over.
"Mother, Mother, let's go see the rabbit."
"Mother, Hongxuan wants to see the rabbit."
"Let's go see the bunny."
"Let's go see the bunny."
The Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan tugged at Ituma Shushu's sleeves and continued talking.
At this moment, Ituma Shushu watched as their mouths opened and closed repeatedly.
She felt as if her mind was shrouded in a thick fog.
Her words fell like raindrops, but they could not penetrate the barrier of mist.
She felt as if she had fallen into an icy river, her limbs were weak and her head was spinning.
The Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan did not know why their mother was silent and motionless.
The two of them continued to tug at Ituma Shushu's clothes and began to speak.
"Mother, Hongxu wants to see the rabbit."
"Mother, Hongxuan wants to see the rabbit."
At this moment, Ituma Shushu felt that she had finally recovered a little and her limbs had some strength back.
So she gritted her teeth and then twisted her arm hard.
Next, Ituma Shushu felt as if she heard a clang, as if she had broken a pane of glass, and then she finally reconnected with the world.
"Mother, Mother."
"Mother, Mother."
The voices of the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan kept echoing in her ears.
"Mother, let's go see the rabbit."
"Mother, let's go see the rabbit."
Ituma Shushu forced herself to calm down and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, Mother will take you to see the rabbits later."
Then, she called out, "Fallen Leaf, pour me a cup of tea."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Luo Ye replied with a bow.
Ituma Shushu had just sent Xia Ju and Dong Mei off to attend to other matters.
Now, only Zhi Qiu, Luo Ye, Chu Yin, and Chu Ling are waiting in the small study.
She had previously worried that after the upgrade of "Dawn Mall", there might be some special circumstances that would cause her to lose control of her expression.
After all, Xia Ju and Dong Mei knew her too well, so to avoid trouble, Ituma Shushu simply sent them away.
Looking back now, it seems that it was the right thing to have sent Xia Ju and Dong Mei away beforehand.
Otherwise, if they had noticed something was wrong with their expressions and had been a beat too slow to react, they might have panicked and sent someone to fetch the imperial physician.
Thinking of this, Ituma Shushu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She now feels that her hands and feet are not so weak.
But this time, "Dawn Mall" really gave me a huge shock!!
The thought that Hongzhao would not become emperor in the future, and that he would die suddenly as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, was enough to make him feel unwell.
Ituma Shushu couldn't help but shudder, still feeling a surge of fear; this was too terrible, too frightening.
But how could there be such a terrible thing in the world?
Could it be that "Chenxi Mall" is lying to her? She still couldn't quite believe it.
"Your Majesty, the tea is here."
Just then, a fallen leaf carrying a cup of tea interrupted Ituma Shushu's thoughts.
“Okay, put it on the table first,” Ituma Shushu nodded and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Luo Ye replied with a bow.
Ituma Shushu rubbed her fingers together, feeling that her palms had regained strength.
She gently picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and the fragrant tea flavor immediately filled her mouth.
Ituma Shushu calmed down a bit. Now, let's check on Emperor Yongzheng's lifespan first!
