C82 (2/2)
”Chen Dede, give me some tea.” Emperor An looked at Eunuch Chen.
Eunuch Chen replied as he turned around and left the Imperial Study.
The Emperor An did not make a sound, and once again placed his gaze on the paper.
Su Li stood in place, half of her black face was disgusting and scary, while the other half of her small face seemed to be covered in a layer of sparkling and translucent light. The outline was exquisite, and was beautiful, but not demonic.
Mo Lianxuan had just entered the Imperial Study and met this kind of Su Li.
He stood to one side and was so taken aback by the glance that he forgot to salute.
”Crown Prince?” Emperor An suddenly said.
Mo Lianxuan then bowed, with a serious expression he reported, ”father, more and more commoners outside the palace are requesting orders, if Lord National Advisor does not appear soon, it will become chaotic.”
”What about Imperial Guard? What about the city guards? Where's Su Lincheng? What is the purpose of this Emperor raising them? ” Emperor An suddenly scolded coldly and casually threw the tea cup on the table to the ground.
Boom! *
The teacup was shattered into pieces, and the sound was especially ear-piercing.
It was just a case, yet it had been magnified to such a degree.
All the citizens kneeled down to plead for orders, to force the Imperial Advisor to appear and exterminate the evil spirits …
If the Imperial Advisor was unable to get rid of this evil spirit, then everything he had managed to manage for so many years would be for naught. How could he be willing?
Mo Lianxuan didn't know why Emperor An was so angry, but he braced himself and said, ”This son recommends that you invite Lord National Advisor out as soon as possible …”
The Emperor An said angrily, ”We have our own arrangements, you can leave first.”
”Yes.” Mo Lianxuan swallowed his words, bowed and left.
Su Li recalled back what Mo Lianxuan had just said, and faintly, he seemed to have caught onto something.
Emperor An allowed her to enter the palace, and the people requested for the Imperial Advisor to remove the ghosts and solve the case.
Could it be …
Just as her thoughts surfaced, Eunuch Chen had already brought in a tray and walked directly towards her.
There was a cup of hot tea on the tray.
”Fourth Miss, the Emperor bestowed you tea, drink!” Eunuch Chen shot Su Li a glance, and said indifferently.
Su Li looked at the cup of tea, and his heart felt clear. This wasn't just making tea, this was poison!
She only had 5 points of HP left. Did she have to be so brutal?
”Fourth Miss is disobeying the decree?” Eunuch Chen asked again.
Su Li looked at Emperor An who had an unreadable expression, and thought about how he had entered the palace. Song Lai and the others all knew about it, so he probably did not really want to kill him.
She gritted her teeth, picked up the teacup and drank the poisoned tea in one gulp …
She heavily placed the tea cup onto the tray, and the Eunuch Chen left in satisfaction.
Unknowingly, Emperor An had already put down the paper.
He narrowed his eyes, and looked at Su Li without anger.
”Do you know the reason why This Emperor allowed you to enter the palace?”
Su Li shook her head, ”This subject does not know.”
After the poison entered his stomach, Changsheng reminded him.
She was in no hurry to convert 5 points of HP to poison.
”I will not beat around the bush with you. The Imperial Advisor has yet to recover from his illness, and his powers have been implicated. If I were to announce this to the world directly, the hearts of the people in the world would inevitably be thrown into chaos.”
Emperor An paused, as though he was waiting for Su Li to continue.
But Su Li was not willing to do so. She just stood there silently, as if nothing had happened.
Emperor An looked at Su Li with his sharp eyes. Every word was like a gem, and every word he spoke made his gaze become colder and more ruthless.
”This Emperor wants you to solve the case of skinning and attribute the credit to the Imperial Advisors …”
