Chapter 243: The Farce
The emperor walked ahead of Su Xiao, and the two of them entered the palace.
A thin thread was wrapped around the emperor's neck. The feeling that his life was being controlled by another person hit him hard.
— Your expression is too strange, " Su Xiao whispered.
The Emperor took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Looking at the emperor walking in front, Su Xiao felt somewhat relieved. This young fellow wasn't involved in ordinary affairs and didn't understand the complexity of human hearts.
Su Xiao looked at the ten-centimeter-long test tube. The test tube was filled with a pale yellow liquid. It was the test tube that had been left behind by the minister.
[Secret Royal Medicine.

After seeing the properties of this medicine, Su Xiao was speechless. The Emperor drank this powerful medicine every day, but only for the sake of the usual recovery from rough days...
Taking a deep breath, Su Xiao told the emperor to speed up.
— You had a different goal for getting close to General Esdes, right? Did you get close to her because you fell in love with her? After calming his nerves, the emperor decided to inquire about Su Xiao's purpose.
— Who knows? "there wasn't a single soul nearby, so Su Xiao wanted to see what the emperor wanted to do.
— How much further to go?
— We'll be arriving soon, there are a lot of guards there, and there's no point in you taking the key. Only I can activate the supreme Teigu. If you want me to activate it, I won't do it, because you'll kill me.
Su Xiao chuckled. — That's not necessary, I just need the key. When I get the key, I'll let you go. We both have nothing to lose.
The emperor turned and looked at Su Xiao, and seemed to be thinking about something.
— Are you from the revolutionary army? Are you trying to stop me from using the high Teiga? The emperor was relieved. The minister had told him earlier that Esdes would be able to stop the Revolutionary Army, so there was no need for him to activate the high Teigu.
The Emperor heaved a sigh of relief when he realized this.
— He still means nothing to you, he's nothing compared to your life and the life of the minister.
The Emperor sped up.
— I admired your heroic behavior when you killed the assassin the first time we met. It's best if you join the empire. I will make you the leader of the Empire's assassin division. This is a much more promising position than being an assassin in the revolutionary army.
Su Xiao looked at the emperor with great interest. This kid really wanted to win him over to his side.
— We came?
A large hall appeared in front, which wasn't that grand, but it was very well guarded.
There were at least several hundred people guarding this hall.
— The emperor calmly walked towards the great hall, and the guards immediately started to get down on one knee when they saw him.
— Welcome, Your Majesty.
— Open the Ancestral Hall.
This hall contained the belongings of past emperors.
— This... Your Majesty, does the minister know about this? The head of the guard asked in bewilderment.
It looked very ridiculous. The emperor needed the approval of a minister to enter the ancestral hall, where his predecessors ' belongings were kept.
— Well, I told the minister about it, but since it's late, he went to bed.
The Emperor's lie wasn't very clever.
— Your Majesty... I'm afraid - " The head of the guard clearly wasn't going to let him in.
— How dare you, His Majesty misses his father and can't sleep properly at night, and you're strangely preventing him from entering the ancestral hall, " Su Xiao said with great emphasis.
But the captain of the guard wasn't stupid. "Who are you?" — he said it with undisguised aggression, but in the end he quickly corrected himself. After all, every other person in the palace could be a big shot right now.
— Su Xiao held up his Jaeger's identification card.
The chief of the guards was shocked, and panic and confusion appeared in his eyes.
— Haha, General Esdes 'subordinate, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the guard chief immediately started winking at Su Xiao.
— Get out of the way, I can kill you for your behavior, " Su Xiao's voice was cold, and he gripped the hilt of his sword with one hand.
— That's not what I meant. Of course, His Majesty can enter the ancestral hall, but he always entered with the minister. I'm afraid that his Majesty will make some mistakes in the ancestral hall — " the chief of the guards had an apologetic smile on his face, but in his mind, he was scolding the two people in front of him with all his might.
The emperor was naive, but he wasn't stupid. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
«I can't go in there without the minister? I'm the emperor!»
The more the emperor thought, the more improbable conclusions he came to, but he couldn't come to a single conclusion.
However, a strange thought appeared in his mind for some reason.
«If I don't have a minister around, no one listens to me?»
— Get out!" The emperor suddenly shouted, and this startled the chief of the guards very much.
Not to mention the head of the guards, Su Xiao was also shocked.
— Arrest him! The emperor's face looked cold, and Su Xiao's left arm muscles were tense. He was ready to chop off the emperor's head at any moment.
But the emperor didn't point his finger at Su Xiao, but at the head of the guards.
But the surrounding guards were still motionless in their positions.
— Are you deaf, arrest him and put him in jail!
But no one moved from their seat, and there was a strange silence in the room.
The captain of the guard broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that things were very bad. It all looked very wrong. The emperor was angry and ordered his arrest, but the other guards didn't move.
Although the emperor was naive, he wasn't stupid.
The head of the guard whispered to the deputy standing next to him — " Idiot, arrest me.
His second-in-command was stunned and immediately thought of something.
— Your Majesty? Do you want us to arrest Captain Mark?" We were stunned and couldn't hear your order, we deserve to be punished, " the deputy head of the guards looked at the emperor.
— Yes, arrest him, " the emperor said with a smile on his lips.
— Yes, Your Majesty, " the deputy nodded, and the other guards immediately arrested the head of the guard.
— Your Majesty, I was confused, please forgive me. I was too worried about your safety, please forgive me, " the head of the guards immediately began to beg for mercy.
— It's true?
— It's true, Your Majesty, don't you remember? I was guarding your bedroom five years ago, and when you almost fell, I was the one who stopped you from falling, Your Majesty, " the head of the guards said with tears in his eyes, regret written all over his face.
Su Xiao rolled his eyes at the scene. This man was a good actor.
— Uh, really? the emperor was a little confused. — This.".. then forget it, don't do it next time.
The head of the guards was stunned, his deputy was stunned, even Su Xiao was stunned.
And it really was the emperor?..
— Thank you very much... The chief of the guards lowered his head, and disdain filled his eyes.
