Chapter 73 Does the War King want to rebel? !
"Madam Su, Miss Gui is not a servant in your house. It is inappropriate for you to do this."
Although Jinhuan was indeed secretly trying to deceive Gui Mingzhu just now, two slaps would have been enough. With Shen's current attitude, she was definitely going to beat her to a pulp.
Jin Huan also heard about Su Jixue's way of doing things. If something really happened, she would definitely be implicated.
"Inappropriate?! Even her grandmother is a servant in my family, and you say it's inappropriate for me to teach her a lesson?!" Shen was furious.
Shen couldn't teach Su Jixue a lesson, and she couldn't teach this dead girl a lesson either!
"Tonghuan, go back to Prince Zhan's mansion and report the news." Jinhuan instructed the little girl behind her without turning around, "Even if we can't persuade Madam Su, there will always be someone who can."
"Are you threatening me?!" Shen glared at Jin Huan. "This is the Minister's residence. You can't just let people come and go as you please! Stop that girl!"
"Tonghuan, go quickly and come back quickly." Jinhuan ignored Shen at all and spoke directly to Tonghuan.
The maids and servants of the Shen family tried to stop them, but were pushed down by the extremely powerful copper rings and forced their way out.
"Madam Su, I can't stop you from teaching someone a lesson, but you'd better consider the consequences." When Jinhuan saw Tonghuan rushing out, she turned around and looked at Shen in a dignified manner and said.
"Okay, okay, I want to see what the consequences of just teaching a little girl a lesson are!" Shen recalled her experience in Prince Zhan's mansion. Looking at the maid holding Mingzhu, her expression became stern: "What are you standing there for? Slap her in the face!"
Gui Mingzhu was pinned down by the powerful woman, unable to break free, and received slap after slap on the face. Her almond-shaped eyes, which bore a strong resemblance to Shen's, stared intently at her, as if to memorize her expression at that moment.

On the corridor outside the main hall of Prince Zhan's Mansion—
The War King is getting closer.
Su Jixue's breathing gradually became stagnant. There was no way he hadn't heard her three consecutive denials. The War King did it on purpose.
The resentment in her heart rose again, and Su Jixue raised her chin: "Why, you can't take advantage of me!"
As she spoke, she took back the hand she had just released, but this time, she grabbed the War King's other wrist.
The moment the skin touched, it felt like an electric current passed through.
Sure enough, changing one worked!
The skin under the fingers was not so smooth, and Su Jixue then remembered that this should be the wrist where the War King had been scratched.
So, what works is not something else but the War King's wound?
Or the blood from the wound?
Although, it's just a blood scab at this time.
"I just caught it and wouldn't let go!" For the sake of experiment, Su Jixue even tried to free the finger that was pressing on the blood scab, and sure enough, the absorption of spiritual power stopped.
As she pressed down, a faint spiritual power began to flow through the contact point between her fingertips and the blood scab, and she was able to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth again.
Well, Su Jixue took the opportunity to tightly grasp the War King's wrist. She had to make up for what she had just consumed.
The War King froze slightly. He didn't expect that Su Jixue not only admitted it directly, but also dared to hold his wrist tightly.
She was always like this, beyond his expectations.
"Catch him." The War King turned back, his usually straight lips curled up slightly at the corners, and the emotions surging in his bottomless eyes were clearly visible: "Sooner or later, I will return it with interest."
The words were barely audible.
But it was clearly heard by Su Jixue. She frowned slightly and felt an inexplicable sense of impending danger.
It seems that I can't stay in Prince Zhan's mansion for long.
Suddenly, a somewhat abrupt building came into view, looking very different from the other buildings in the entire Zhanwang Mansion.
The tall spire seemed to reach straight into the sky, but because it was covered by a huge linseed cloth, it was impossible to see what it was. One could only see layers of tightly covered linseed cloth. From a distance, it looked like a gray behemoth standing in Prince Zhan's palace.
It seemed that there were still craftsmen hammering and banging on the top floor, still working on it.
"Jun Wuzui, can Prince Zhan's Mansion actually build such a tall building?" Su Jixue looked up. This should be taller than the tallest building in the imperial palace.
Doesn’t the Emperor of Dongchu mind?
If you have a telescope, you should be able to peek into the palace from up there.
Could it be that the War King wants to rebel? !
"Why not?!" King Zhan spoke arrogantly, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Su Jixue glanced at him unhappily.
She probably doesn't know how much she is hated. In the battle of Gu'an, the War King's "death" was not unjust.
In fact, according to Dongchu's intelligence, Su Jixue had long known that the Zhan Palace was building something somewhat mysterious, but neither Dongchu nor Nanqing knew what he was building.
"Could this be the legendary thing that Prince Zhan's Mansion has been building for more than ten years?" Su Jixue was really curious when she saw it.
After all, the War King is the only one who can keep people unclear about what he is doing for more than ten years.
You should know that Nanqing's secret agents also tried to find the craftsmen who helped to build the Zhanwang Palace, but each person was only responsible for a small section, so they had no idea what would be built in the end.
Originally, Ji Xue had no interest in this at all, but Zong Kui wanted to know, so he asked the secret agents here to keep an eye on it.
But no matter what channel was used, no one could find out what the War King was doing.
"How did Jixue know that this took more than ten years to cultivate?" The War King turned his head and glared coldly. Sure enough, he saw Su Jixue once again demonstrate what it meant to be petrified on the spot.
After all, the news about Prince Zhan’s Mansion was kept strictly secret.
"I seem to have heard it from my father." Su Jixue thought of Su Jian as a shield. After all, he was a prime minister and should know about the matter of Prince Zhan's Mansion.
It is really amazing that such a tall building can be covered so tightly.
"What on earth is this?" Su Jixue asked.
The War King raised his eyes and walked towards the building with Su Jixue. In fact, the main structure had been completed, and only some small details were needed to be finished.
The girl's warmth and fragrance spread from her wrist, and Su Jixue's unique cool fragrance lingered in her nose.
The War King did not look back, but just stared at the building in front of him. This building had been built since he was able to do it. He designed and drew the blueprints himself and recruited countless skilled craftsmen to finalize it.
It took more than ten years to build it with great care, but I thought it would never be shown again.
"Guess what." The War King said calmly.
Su Jixue racked her brains, thinking that since the War King spent so much time on it, it must be of great use.
The War King was crowned king at the age of thirteen, established his palace at the age of fourteen, and started building this at the age of fifteen. His personal information is clearly written about it.
As for the War King, Su Jixue dared to say that no one in the world knew him better than her.
Before approaching the War King in the Battle of Gu'an, Su Jixue had already collected all the information about the War King that could be collected from the six countries and had a comprehensive understanding of him.
The nearly one year of contact allowed her to get a close look at the War King's living habits.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to hit the target with the final blow.
The King of War will never do anything useless.
"Could this be the siege fortress mentioned in ancient military books?"
