Not only were the Empress Dowager's and Xie Pan'Er's words stuck in their throats, but their facial expressions also instantly froze.
Because at that moment, they were watching the nine-linked puzzle in Xiaosuisui's hands as it twisted and turned, and then…
"Ah... I... I broke it…"
Xiaosuisui, holding the nine-linked puzzle which was now just a collection of rods and rings, burst out crying with a WAAH!
The Empress Dowager and Xie Pan'Er simultaneously pressed their hands to their foreheads.
"Don't cry! The nine-linked puzzle isn't broken."
The Empress Dowager and Xie Pan'Er spoke in unison again.
Xiaosuisui pouted, trying hard to hold back her tears.
"It... it's not broken? But they're not in one piece anymore!"
Xiaosuisui looked in confusion at the Empress Dowager, then at Xie Pan'Er.
Xie Pan'Er glanced at the Empress Dowager helplessly.
The Empress Dowager turned her face away with a sigh.
"You explain it to her!"
