Cannon fodder can become a god if she dies a hundred times

Chapter 118 Empty

After reaching the conclusion that the eldest lady was about to arrive, they sent someone to block the eldest lady, and then another team went to the eldest lady's laboratory to search.

But when he opened the door, it was empty. "Sister, what do you mean?"

"Just as you can see."

Zhang Xianxian could clearly feel that the emperor was having a hard time swallowing.

The eldest lady secretly destroyed all the items. This was a huge project that needed to avoid the suspicion of the secret guards. No one knew when it started, maybe a few months ago, or even longer ago.

"Sister, isn't it what you want to make our city better and better?" Xiao Yitang began to persuade her.

"Life nowadays shouldn't be good enough, brother. People shouldn't be too greedy." The eldest lady said word by word.

"Sister, did you misunderstand what I said? I just want you to do more so that our family can be happier." Seeing that his sister seemed uninterested in these, Xiao Yitang began to play the emotional card.

The eldest lady stared into Xiao Yitang's eyes and said, "Brother, do you feel really happy now?"

"Brother knows that I have neglected you recently and haven't come to see you often. It's because there are too many things to do after becoming the emperor. Brother will change. I will come to see you once a month. No, less, I will come to see you three times a month, okay?" Xiao Yitong carefully coaxed his sister.

But Xiao Yining is no longer the same as she was when she was little, and her brother's company is no longer what she desires.

"Brother, I can't go back."

Xiao Yitang felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but he changed the subject and said, "I will do my best to make it up to you. If you feel that making new things is too tiring, can you teach others what to do? There are many talented people around me. Although they are not as smart as you, they will definitely be able to help you."

"To tell you the truth, there is nothing left. I have done everything I can. In fact, brother can ask those people to improve on what I have done, or get new ideas from it." Xiao Yining said to his brother sincerely.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yitang just thought that his sister was making excuses. She had good things but was unwilling to share them. He couldn't understand why she would do this with their own family.

"Sister, is it really gone?" Xiao Yitang asked angrily.

"It's really, really gone, brother." Xiao Yining didn't understand why her brother didn't believe her.

Xiao Yitang waved his sleeves and left.

From then on, Zhuangzi had become a cage. Zhang Xianxian tried to get out several times but was stopped by the guards.

Information from the young sisters outside cannot be transmitted in.

Although the eldest lady didn't care and just wanted to be in a daze quietly, Zhang Xianxian didn't want to be trapped in this world. She could stay in, but she couldn't be restricted from going out.

So they tried various methods, and even the dog hole was guarded by someone, which made Zhang Xianxian's rebellious psychology even worse.

He tried various ways to get out, so much so that the guards outside the door spontaneously formed two shifts to prevent Zhang Xianxian from sneaking out in the middle of the night.

After all, the emperor's order was that not a mosquito was allowed to fly out, nor a bird was allowed to fly in.

The guard and Zhang Xianxian have been fighting each other's wits and courage, which also adds a bit of joy to Zhang Xianxian's boring life.

Sometimes the eldest lady would see Zhang Xianxian being carried in by the guards, and sometimes she would see her being thrown off the wall without even being able to get out.

When he saw that someone fell harder, he would scold the guards and then apply medicine to Zhang Xianxian.

Several months passed like this, and the guards at the door were withdrawn, and the emperor himself came.

"Sister, I was wrong before. Do you have any new ideas now?" The emperor wanted to touch Xiao Yining's head, but she dodged him.

The eldest lady shook her head decisively.

The emperor glanced at Zhang Xianxian and said, "Come here, drag her away and give her twenty lashes."

The expression on Xiao Yining's face changed at this time, "Let's see who dares?"

"She has been out all the time these days. I don't know what she is doing. I suspect she is committing adultery with someone else." The emperor said sternly.

"Now that my brother is the emperor, can he just put accusations on others?" Xiao Yining felt a little sad.

"Sister, you are still young and don't understand. It is understandable that you don't know the people under your command well." The emperor said hypocritically.

The eldest lady stopped in front of Zhang Xianxian and protested silently.

"Maybe she passed all my good ideas to others, so that I can't come up with new ideas. I shouldn't protect her so much."

Zhang Xianxian felt that the emperor never said a good word and she really wanted to smash his mouth.

"This is what brother really thinks. You are even threatening me with the people around me so that I can continue the research. But brother, even if you kill her, I won't have any new ideas. I have really developed everything mother left behind." Tears gathered in Xiao Yining's eyes.

"So that's how it is. Mother actually left so many good things for you, why didn't you want to give them to me?" The emperor didn't understand at all, because he was her biological son.

"These things can already cope with our daily life, brother, don't be obsessed with it anymore."

However, Xiao Yitang still didn't want to believe that his mother could have left only these things, so he decided to go to the place his sister had been to and search carefully.

The next day, there was a man kneeling in front of Zhuangzi's door. He was the person the eldest lady met in that dim place.

"I failed in my duty as a guardian, so I will die as a token of my sin." He slashed his throat at the door, and blood splattered all over the floor.

The eldest lady's face turned pale.

Zhang Xianxian knew that the books were in the hands of the emperor, and he would probably be busy again recently and would not cause trouble for the eldest lady.

The eldest lady broke into the palace alone, "Brother, no, Your Majesty, we can't study these things anymore. They are of no benefit to us."

"What? Only you are allowed to do research, but I am not allowed?" the emperor said provocatively.

"The remaining books are full of vicious techniques, which are really of no benefit to people's livelihood. Your Majesty, please burn all the books." Xiao Yining knelt on the ground and begged.

"It's impossible to burn them. Besides, I'm going to develop all of them and let you see the benefits of these things." After saying that, he left with a loud laugh.

Several palace maids came in and dragged Xiao Yining to the carriage back to the manor.

After coming back, the eldest lady sat on the ground in a daze. Zhang Xianxian called her several times but she didn't respond.
