Hearing the system's words, Ming Li, with a dark line across her forehead, "sent" it to the confinement room.
The system, hitting the wall of the confinement room with a "bang," was utterly bewildered, not understanding what had happened. Who was it? Where was it? What had it just experienced?
-------------------------------------
Soon, Ming Li returned to the Lan An Kingdom with her mission targets.
Seeing the returned group, the old king was so excited that he forgot to react for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, the old king finally reacted. He excitedly ran over and hugged his children, muttering, "It's good that you're back... it's good that you're alright..."
The princes and princesses were also very emotional, tears streaming down their faces.
After the initial excitement, the princes and princesses cautiously glanced at Ming Li, who stood a short distance away with a calm expression. They then pulled the old king aside and whispered, "Father, do you feel like Eldest Sister is different somehow?"
Hearing this, the old king looked at Ming Li doubtfully and asked, "Li'er? What's wrong with her?"
The princes and princesses, remembering something, instinctively swallowed and said, "...Father, don't you realize Eldest Sister now is not the same as before? Eldest Sister used to smile a lot, but look at the expression on her face now, isn't it terrifying?!"
The old king, "???"
Hearing this, the old king looked strangely at the prince speaking beside him. Suddenly recalling something, his expression turned alert, and he tentatively asked, "Sixth, what was the first gift Father gave you?"
The prince being addressed looked blankly at this question, not understanding why his father was asking. "Father, why are you asking this?"
Before the old king could reply, the prince called Sixth suddenly realized, and looked at the old king with hurt, "Father... you suspect me! You actually suspect me! Am I still your child?!"
The old king, "It's not certain yet..."
Sixth, "..." his expression grew more hurt...
After his hurt, Sixth wiped away the imaginary tears from his face and said aggrievedly, "It was a small golden horse made of gold." He then looked up at the old king, "At the time, I thought it was extremely tacky..."
The corner of the old king's mouth twitched. Recovering himself, his eyes showed relief. He glanced at Ming Li again and explained, "She is your Eldest Sister. Perhaps it was the shock of your sudden disappearance that caused her to become like this."
Saying this, the old king sighed.
"Why are they looking at this seat with such lewd eyes?"
Hearing this, the system nearly choked on its own saliva. "Host dear! Where did you see those lewd eyes? Those are clearly eyes of suspicion!"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow. "Suspicion? Has my persona collapsed?"
Hearing this, the system was speechless. "Host dear, you're asking what you already know..."
Ming Li was silent for a long time. Just when the system thought she was going to say she would be more careful in the future and maintain her persona, it heard the girl's cool voice faintly say, "Should this seat eliminate them all..."
The system, "?!!!"
