Chapter 371

But the surroundings were still quiet, without a trace of noise.

The breeze gradually stopped, and even the "rustling" sound of the branches shaking disappeared completely in the darkness and could no longer be heard.

Could it be that no one is coming?

At the moment when Xiao Ciyu hesitated, the two people who had obtained the printed book had successfully obtained the booklet and walked towards the gate.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the gate, Xiao Ciyu finally gave up waiting and jumped off the eaves neatly.

Can't wait any longer!

He was agile and leaping lightly under the corridor, then he instantly crashed into the window and entered the hall.

"Who?!"

The first person who reacted was Mr. Zhou who was sitting facing Xiao Ciyu.

There was a person suddenly in front of him, which scared his eyelids to stutter.

After he scolded, Chen Ke and the others who had already reached the door also looked back quickly, looking alertly at the one extra person in the hall.

Their sharp eyes swept behind them, but before they could intimidate each other, they scared their souls first.

"His Majesty?!"

The two could hardly believe their eyes.

Who else can this unparalleled person in front of you besides His Majesty?!

"Your Majesty, why are you..." In a panic, Chen Ke hurriedly hid the booklet in his hand into his sleeve and covered it tightly.

"What? I'm very nervous when I see me?" Xiao Ciyu raised her eyebrows, turned her eyes around Chen Ke's face, and then fell directly into his hand, "What were you just hiding? What can't you show me?"

His words were a little weird, but the words fell into Chen Ke and others' ears, which made them even more panic.

His Majesty said that they were not "surprised" but "notic", and with the words "hidden" and "can't see", the meaning in their words is almost self-evident!

What they did was seen through!

So...how much does Your Majesty know now?

In a panic, Chen Ke was the first to choose to change the topic.

As soon as his legs bent, he knelt straight towards Xiao Ciyu: "I have no eyes and offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"

With him leading the way, the rest of the people hurriedly stepped forward to bow and apologize.

But in a moment, the few people in the room all knelt down.

"Tsk..." Xiao Ciyu curled his lips and walked to Chen Ke and squatted down, "I asked you, but you lit up with me. This is the real offense."

His voice was slightly cold, and his tone became even heavier: "I'll ask you again, what did you hide just now that you can't see?"

"My name..." Chen Ke was stuck and couldn't speak for a moment.

His hand, hiding in his sleeve, held the booklet tightly until his fingertips turned white.

I can't hand over such things yet!

"Hmm? Do you want me to ask you for the third time?" Xiao Ciyu turned his head slightly and raised a sneer.

The coldness in his eyes was too strong, and Chen Ke didn't have to look up to know what kind of eyes His Majesty was looking at him at this moment.

"It's the budget details of this disaster relief fund..." The person who couldn't withstand the pressure finally spoke the truth in a low voice.

He dared not lie because he was not sure what his Majesty heard before appearing in this room.

"Since it is a disaster relief detail, why don't you dare show it to me?" Xiao Ciyu lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Is this detail tens of thousands of taels of silver more than the normal allocation?"

"Your Majesty?!" Chen Ke suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Ciyu in disbelief.

It turns out that Your Majesty already knows it!

His Majesty asked him just to see if he would tell the truth...
