Seeing her pinch her fingers, Zhu Xiuxiu couldnāt help but ask.
"Whatās wrong?"
"Nothing, just a habitual pinch!"
"Iāve figured out the situation in the warehouse, got all the keys. Weāll sneak in when the guards relax after midnight!"
"Got it. When I just sneaked to the Imperial Study, I vaguely heard Emperor Xiling furious.
It seems Old Eight personally led the troops and has already advanced into Xiling, pressing straight towards Xijing. At this time, the guards are all busy protecting the Emperor of Xiling, so there should be no guards at the warehouse!"
Zhu Xiuxiu blinked at these words.
"Old Eight leading the troops personally?
That doesnāt seem like his style!
Now that heās led the troops, can he still return for the palace examination next year?"
Ji Youze and Ji Youzhi have been the emperorās study companions since childhood. Both brothers are the emperorās right-hand men, but Ji Youzhi has always been in the open, without an official position, yet able to come and go freely in the palace. The emperor specially set up a Divine Hunter platform under his control.
Itās comparable to the Ministry of Justice!
The Celestial Prison is like home to him!
However, Ji Youze is different. Heās always been behind the scenes, never in the open, even though he controls all the secret intelligence networks!
"Old Eight is a smart person. By doing this, he might be covering for us. We need to hurry, find the things, and leave here!"
"Okay! I wonder how Ah Ta is doing over there.
Although Dongyue is by the sea, the East Pearl with Spiritual Qi is special. I wonder if she can find it!"
"I hope she can!"
Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo XingāEr were concerned about Princess Ata, who was currently talking with Black Pearl, the princess of Dongyue.
"Thank you, Pearl, for helping me with such a big favor."
"I didnāt do much. Weāre such good friends, and when you asked, of course, Iād help you.
But donāt forget your promise. If anything happens to Dongyue in the future, you must help me!"
"Rest assured, my word is my bond. If you really want that position one day, Iāll definitely assist you!"
"Thatās not what I was talking about!"
"?"
"I heard recently that Great Han and Xiling are at war, and Great Han has already struck the Yellow Dragon, reaching the outskirts of Xijing."
Hearing Black Pearl mention the war between Great Han and Xiling, Princess Ata fell silent.
"Why did you suddenly bring this up?"
"I donāt believe you canāt see it. Great Han is destined to become a world hegemon!"
Princess Ataās heart skipped a beat.
"You think so too?"
"I used to think Great Han might not rise, but with the recent celestial signs and various actions by Great Han, Iām really afraid..."
"Pearl! If that day really comes, perhaps it wonāt be a bad thing!"
"What do you mean?"
"The emperor of Great Han is a good emperor, surrounded by talents, and..."
"And what?"
Seeing Princess Ata suddenly stop midway, Black Pearl hurriedly inquired.
"Nothing, letās talk about it later!
Rest assured, if that day really comes, I believe in the benevolence of the Emperor of the Great Han he will certainly not make things difficult for the royal families of various countries!"
After Princess Ata finished, she cupped her hands and left.
The people on Xiaosuisuiās mind were all busy with their own things, except for Xiaosuisui, who was happily enjoying herself in the Imperial Palace.
Princess Lianchun was strolling with her in Wanhua Palace, asking her about the feng shui layout of the palace.
Xiaosuisui didnāt see any problems.
The emperor, upon hearing this, couldnāt help but smile and said.
"Elder Sister, are you treating Xiaosuisui as a mystic?
Even coming out with feng shui readings!"
Xie PanāEr handed him the medicine and said, "I donāt know if Xiaosuisui is a mystic, but the National Masterās young disciple is indeed remarkable.
The entire Capital City is saying she is the Lucky Star, whereas Suisui is a little Disaster Star. You see, if they want to promote Li Yanyan, they can do so. But why do they have to put down our Xiaosuisui?"
The emperor listened and his eyes darkened, "As they say, itās hard to punish the many. They deliberately spread this news so suddenly that everyone in Capital City knows about it. Itās passed from person to person, so in the end, we donāt even know who initially spread it. How can we silence the gossipy mouths?"
The emperor pondered over this issue for many days, and it was so distressing not having Old Eight around. He didnāt even have anyone to discuss it with!
