“……” said the mama
“…………” said everyone else Are you condeer?
“Dance clothes,” Ning Xiaoyao’s expression fell as she stalked into the Supre to herself “Can’t you dance in any clothes you like? She really has a peculiar way of thinking”
Everyone else followed His Majesty inside, leaving the ates, dazed Esteeer hadn’t fainted away just because her dance clothes had been ruined! When she recalled the eer’s instructions, then looked back at the retreating Ning Xiaoyao, she braced herself and chased after the emperor
Ning Xiaoyao was about to lose her patience when she saw her “You still have business with me?”
The mama fell to her knees in the rain “Your Majesty, Esteeer suspects that someone lifted a tile off the roof on purpose”
Ning Xiaoyao chuckled So that’s the main point
“Who would have the gall?” Lou Zigui asked
Theand simply shook her head
“It’s been a long tiht? The roof si suspicious, why is the e?”
Lou Zigui rubbed his nose after hearing Ning Xiaoyao paraphrasing his words The mama hastened to speak, “Your Majesty, an eunuch went up to the roof to check Only one tile on the roof wasIt, it doesn’t look like it broke”
In the future, I’ll have to re Xiaoyao mentally reminded herself “Then you’ll have to ask the roof about that I haven’t been to the eer’s palace before, so how a one tile?”
The ain No ainst someone as a rascal Moreover, this rascal was none other than the e else
“Have the eer wash up and sleep first Does she still think she’s so and shouting just for a peek at her?” Ning Xiaoyao waved a hand at the mama “Don’t treat a broken roof tile like the apocalypse See you later”
Everyone cast sidelong glances at Ning Xiaoyao, who still had Supreme Commander’s outer robes draped over her shoulders Are you cursing the eain?
As everyone else followed Ning Xiaoyao into the covered ay and vanished, theblankly in the rain What ‘apocalypse?’ Ah no, that’s not right How aer?!

Ning Xiaoyao soundly kicked the door open and entered the ave a sneeze before she called for Shadowgale “Windy, where’s the giant bundle I told you to bring back?”
Shadowgale ran behind a folding screen before he dragged out the big package Erya and Xiaoqiu diligently trailed after him
“There’s so many beads, Your Majesty! So ht
“Really?” Ning Xiaoyao ran forward and undid the knot on the bundle Then she lifted the lid off a chest and saw a chest full of cat’s eye stones that nearly blinded her with their radiance She straightened her back and cal hand opened the second chest This one was filled to the briates, which left her vision blind once more “We’ve, we’ve struck it rich,” she stuttered
Lou Zigui strode forward and picked up the oil-paper package before du out its contents First came the silver drafts, which Supreme Commander Lou set in a thick stack on a tea table Then cahXiaoyao sca the silver drafts, trying to see how much money she had picked up this time
The Dragon Guards joined Erya and her brother to stare at the two chests filled with treasure They wouldn’t be able to earn this much even if they worked for their entire lives
Ning Xiaoyao finished tallying the ht and her face s “There’s 30,000 taels’ worth of silver drafts there We’re rich again!”
EveryoneXiaoyao was even glowing in their eyes by now, her halo everlasting!
Ning Xiaoyao casually picked up a cat’s eye and asked Shadowgale, “Windy, how much would these sell for?”
Shadowgale shook his head He really had no idea
“We’ll save so Xiaoyao stroked Erya’s hair, which was still an unhealthy, yellowish hue “The rest we can sell off for money”
The Dragon Guards all looked at Erya and her yellowing hair His Majesty really has foresight He’s already thinking of Erya’s e affairs
“Erya, you choose,” Ning Xiaoyao said with all the airs of a nouveau riche “Take anything you like”
Erya looked tiht that every one of the Xiaoyao pointed out a few pieces “Choose the big ones They’re worth more money”
Shadowthunder shook his head “Your Majesty, these cat’s eye stones all look about the same size”
Ning Xiaoyao then asked Shadowgale, “Which one’s worth ate?”
Immediately, the people in the room split into two factions There were those who supported the cat’s eyes, and those who supported the jade and agate Neither side could win over the other as their argu Xiaoyao saw that the two factions of Dragon Guards were about to come to blows and couldn’t help but feel vexed That’s the fate of the poor We can’t tell what’s valuable and what’s not If we could, our nouveau riche wouldn’t have so many troubles
Lou Zigui put down the letter in his hand and spoke one line: “We can’t accept these things We need to return them”
All the talking ceased in the roo Xiaoyao stiffened as she turned around, the cat’s eye in her hand clattering back into the chest “Whaa?” His Majesty Ning asked
