"You can clean up." Qiaolu coldly commanded, and she raised her hand to suck the magic stone on the ground into her palm.

Qiaolu was dressed in battle armor and was about to leave.

But as soon as she came to the door, Anna rushed over with a shocked and anxious expression.

"Qiaolu! You! What did you do! You put that army—hmm." Before Anna could finish speaking, Qiaolu landed a finger on Anna's pale pink lips.

"Shhh Qiaolu showed the face of the bad guy and smiled.

Almost at the same time, a maid with a brocade box walked over with a black line on her face.

"Huh? Did you read it? Hawkers, it's disgusting, so I told you to stop looking at it, hey......" Qiaolu stretched out her hand and took the brocade box.

Anna on one side wondered why this maid was like this? It must be a problem with this box, but what's inside?

The curious Anna glanced at the maid Vanessa on the other side with her magic eyes, followed by the image of 'a broken hand that seemed to be torn apart'.

The broken epidermis and countless bone fragments stuck in the flesh look like they have been gnawed by a dog, and there is a sense of loss of decay.

"Huh?!" Anna recognized at a glance that it was the mutilation of someone pecked by the Crane-beaked Demon, and Anna looked at Qiaolu suspiciously.

"This was originally intended to be a gift for the Grand Duke, but alas, he ran away so quickly." Qiaolu smiled evilly.

"Huh?!" Anna was confused by the princess's series of words and actions.

"Qiaolu...... ...... here," Anna looked at Qiaolu in front of her, who looked like an underworld boss, with a puzzled expression. The colors around Qiaolu were chaotic, angry red, angry golden red, a little black, and a small amount of treacherous green.

"Come to my office." Qiao Lu shook her face and said, her face instantly turned cold.

……

So, the two went to the office on the third floor.

The office at noon was bright, but Anna's face was cloudy, and her dark purple eyes were full of puzzlement about Qiaolu's behavior today.

Anna casts a soundproof spell to prevent others from listening in on her conversation with the princess.

When the spell was done, Anna couldn't hold back the fire, and she said angrily, "Ahhhh Qiaolu! What have you done!!

Anna was angry for nothing else, because of these ridiculous acts that Qiaolu did today! Be sure to come up with a solution to this soon! Otherwise, once Zhou Hanyi returns to his territory, he will definitely write to the emperor and frame the princess.

Originally, that dog Zhou Han was eyeing Qiaolu's position as an emperor, but Qiaolu did this kind of thing at this juncture, and she was always quiet and irritable: "That's the grand duke, and I told you, he has already written something unfavorable to you to the emperor, and there are still many people in the court who have been bribed by him and may betray you at any time!" And then you sent his army and his son to the Forbidden Forest?!"

"Wait! That hand ......" Anna shuddered suddenly.

In an instant, a dark feeling entangled in Anna's heart, and she looked over there in a daze, and Qiao Lu was also smiling evilly, "Qiao Lu you...... Could it be that this hand belongs to Zhou Hanyi...... Son's ......?"

"That's right, it's his son's, I was looking forward to Zhou Hanyi's expression after opening the box, hum."

Qiao Lu's eyes indifferently rotated the magic stone in his hand, and said coldly.

"Uh-you...... You know what you've done?" Anna swallowed dryly.

Anna restlessly restlessly rested with her hands, biting her lower lip, and walking anxiously from side to side on the ground, constantly thinking of a solution.

Originally, Anna thought that as long as she used Zhou Hanyi to bribe the courtiers, she could threaten the Grand Duke, so that the matter could be resolved more peacefully.

However, he never expected that Qiaolu would kill his son directly, although not directly...... But there's not much difference.

Qiaolu: "Hmph, I just drove him away, of course......

Before that's all it takes, Anna is on fire!

"So you! What a stupid thing you're doing! You know that the one who coveted your throne and wanted to occupy your Huaying City, and then you actually killed all his army today! And killed his son! Doesn't that give him even more reason! Reveal you stupid!"

She waved her arms uncontrollably.

"Oh, 'yes, yes, yes, it seems a little bad.' Hehe, do you think I'm going to say that?" Qiaolu smiled evilly and stared at Anna indifferently, "What do you mean? How long will it take for you to get a confession from those ministers to get rid of that pig! And also! Even if you have the evidence of the bribes and thus threaten the pig, are you sure to stop the Emperor's decree? Do you know what the Emperor thinks?!"

"This ......" Anna panicked, biting her lower lip helplessly.

Indeed, the affairs on the Emperor's side are beyond her control. If you directly come to a holy decree and let Zhou Hanyi inherit Hua Ying City or something, then no matter how much you threaten Zhou Hanyi, how to use 'you bribe the minister, cause Hua Ying City to suffer serious losses,' and other 'peaceful means' will not help. Because the Divine Decree is absolute.

If this is the case, if you forcibly disobey the emperor, it will really cause civil war and civil strife.

"But no matter what, you killed Zhou Han's son! Have you thought about the consequences?" Anna frowned.

"Why don't you think I thought about it?" Qiao Lu said with a cold face, she raised her head slightly, looking down at Anna, "Anna, we have been together for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I don't like to beat around the bush, it's good to swallow things slowly like you, but like I said earlier, in your plan, the Emperor's decree is something you can't control."

"Hmm...... So what do you want to do?" Anna was anxious to know what Emperor Qiaolu was thinking when he had done such a crazy thing.

"Hehe, hehehehe, what you want to do, it's very simple. Wouldn't it be okay to kill him? The dead cannot compete for power." Qiaolu smiled hideously and looked at Anna with cold eyes.

Anna was startled by this sentence and broke out in a cold sweat.

Here, Qiaolu took out a delicate black wood seal box from the drawer, and the edges of the box and the body of the box owed a circle of golden spells.

"That's it."

Qiaolu smugly poked the box with her finger.

"What's inside?" Can you stop selling lawsuits at this time?" Anna wondered, the situation at this time could not be delayed any longer, why Qiaolu was still so slow and leisurely!

Qiao Lu: "A special stone, the original effect is to greatly increase the recovery speed of the mana of creatures within a radius of 40 meters, but through the black feather magic researched by the earl, this effect can be made dozens of times overloaded with mana, resulting in mana poisoning."

After speaking, Qiaolu looked at Anna with ruthless eyes, with a murderous smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Tsk." Anna looked at the princess in a daze, and she thought to herself...... It's very uncomfortable, because this kind of behavior is really unfair, because if you really want to use this stone...... That would definitely hurt innocent people......

But I really can't think of any other way than this one.

"So, Anna, I'd like to ask you to send this thing over," Qiaolu said in a commanding tone, revealing the queen's cold attitude.
