”The Emperor has decreed that the Fourth Miss should enter the palace to meet you.”
Su Li turned around and looked over. Eunuch Chen stood ten meters away, holding onto the buddhist dust, not willing to get close, and transmitted the message.
”Why?”
”How dare you! The emperor wants to see you. How can you ask so many questions?” Eunuch Chen reprimanded with a face full of disgust. Then, he pinched her fingers together and covered her nose and mouth.
Su Li was puzzled, her marriage with Mo Lianxuan had already been dissolved, why would Emperor An still want to see her?
”Please wait for a moment, eunuch. I will follow you to the palace after I've settled everything in front of me.”
The Eunuch Chen snorted coldly, turned around, and led the two squads of guards away. They walked a few meters before stopping and waiting for her.
A bad premonition rose from the bottom of Su Li's heart. She looked at Song Lai and spoke in a low voice, ”When we're investigating the southeast direction, let the Magistrate Wang investigate which family has burned someone to death.”
Song Lai did not understand, but still nodded and agreed.
”And these charred bones, find a place to settle down. I will help them find their identities after leaving the palace.”
”Alright.”
Su Li looked at Da Wa and raised his hand.
His fingers were slender and thin, full of spirit. They looked soft without any bones, but when he used his strength, he could feel a strong and forceful feeling.
This kind of hand, had been recorded on the Acupuncture Manipulation, was a rare and good hand.
If he was interested in the field of acupuncture, then he would be an extremely influential figure.
”Fourth Miss, what happened to my hand?” The Da Wa spoke up.
”It's nothing. These hands are very good. You must protect them well.”
Da Wa nodded with a simple and honest smile, ”My father often said that my hands were born excellent.”
”I'm leaving.” Su Li took one last look at the two, and walked towards the direction of Eunuch Chen.
Her black clothes fluttered in the wind, giving off an indescribably carefree and unrestrained feeling.
When Su Li got near the palace, he was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
The open space outside the palace was full of kneeling civilians.
Surprisingly, these people didn't cause too much noise, but sincerely kneeled on the ground, facing the direction of the Venerate Heavens Sect. They clasped their hands, and they were incomparably respectful.
The corner of her mouth twitched. These people had been brainwashed thoroughly!
She did not believe that, if no one tried to investigate the case for clues, the little meat nun would sit there and do some calculations, and the culprit would turn out to be his true self?
Seeing that Su Li's footsteps had slowed down, Eunuch Chen shouted in dissatisfaction.
”If Fourth Miss misses the time, be careful of losing your head.”
Su Li calmed his emotions and followed suit.
This time, Emperor An was not seeing her at the Appearance Hall, but at the Imperial Study.
Emperor An was dressed in dragon robes, and he sat behind the stage with an imposing manner.
Su Li bowed, ”This subject greets the Emperor.”
Emperor An put down the paper in his hand and placed both of his hands on the armrest.
He coldly sized up Su Li, who was below him, and did not say a word.
The atmosphere began to turn heavy.
Being pierced by his ice-cold gaze, Su Li indifferently raised his head and met his gaze. Although he was shocked in the bottom of his heart, he was not panicked.
The one looking for her was Emperor An, why would she be so anxious if she wasn't?
Thinking about that, Su Li lowered his head, maintaining the posture of bowing, and started to keep quiet.
Emperor An was a little surprised. Under his aura, there were very few people who were able to remain calm, not to mention that she was only a girl that had just reached adulthood.
”No need for formalities!”
Su Li pursed his lips, straightening his chest out.
