Xue Ling's footsteps paused. The person who had been dragging him along anxiously turned his head back and shouted, "Your Majesty! The rebels have already killed their way in! The Empress Dowager has long taken her people and fled! If Your Majesty doesn't flee now, it'll be too late!"

Xue Ling: “???”

The system calmly opened its mouth to speak. "Calm down, host. First knock this little brat unconscious, and then we can slowly look into the situation."

Xue Ling made an 'oh' sound, then pressed his lips together and stared the person in front of him with wide eyes. It made the person who looked like a little eunuch in front of him flush, as he turned fl.u.s.tered and explained again in a panic, "Your Majesty! Your slave is not speaking nonsense, please listen! The sound of fighting from outside has already spread to the back palace!" KMWB l

Xue Ling slowly approached him, and then, under his puzzled gaze, he raised his hand and chopped directly onto the back of the little eunuch's neck.

The little eunuch's face was still full of incredulity as he fell unconscious.

Xue Ling didn't know why he was looking at himself like that, but he could basically tell that the current situation was very tense. Not only that, he had just stunned the person who could save him from the sea of misery. But he was not the unfortunate original owner of this body, and he always had ways to deal with the situation.

Therefore, he glance around leisurely and took in his current surroundings. He was surprised to find that he was in a place that looked like the imperial study. FBekmo

Not far from him, there was a desk that the Emperor should have used to handle things. There were all kinds of things piled up in disarray, and because there was a mess outside, no one here had concerned themselves with tidying it at all.

Following the system's instructions, Xue Ling opened a secret compartment and took out the missing imperial jade seal and tiger insignia that had been placed within. He stored them on his body, and then selected some calligraphy, paintings, and jade pottery that he then had the system take back into the system s.p.a.ce. The most important thing were the few boxes of ointment that the system pointed out. They were placed in the cabinet not far from the desk, and after Xue Ling swept them all up, he opened the door to look outside.

The palace seemed to be on fire, and there were all kinds of loud shouts and noises. Many people seemed to have gathered there, and the rebel ministers and traitors had not yet entered the palace. Even so, the nominal Emperor, Xue Ling, had been completely abandoned. When he opened the door to the study, the soldiers who were supposed to have been stationed by the door were no longer there.

Xue Ling tsked. This meant there was n.o.body here who could help him steal. He was also unable to change out of his current dragon robes, and could only close the door and turn back. W Cjuq
