"How dare I."

Cang Ran would not be so foolish as to admit it. Instead, he made himself appear even weaker, more pitiful and more helpless.

"Here, everyone is waiting to laugh at me. Is my wife going to ignore me?"

Yu Mingshu: ...

Who did he learn from to talk to himself like this?

"Be serious!"

Yu Mingshu pinched Cangran's arm hard, but no longer tried to distance himself from him.

"good."

Having achieved his goal, Cangran said no more, but he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

His biggest gain that day was discovering that some females prefer soft tactics to hard ones.

It's easy to soften her heart by pretending to be pitiful.

Chongyue, who was following behind them, witnessed all the little actions between them.

Although the master initially did this in order to cooperate with the Seventh Prince and deal with those malicious guys in the palace, in the end the master acquiesced to the Seventh Prince's closeness to her.

Just watching this, Chong Yue felt that uncomfortable feeling in his heart again.

He looked down at his toes, reminding himself again and again that the master's secret guard did not need any unnecessary emotions.

It is quite rare for Yu Mingshu to go to the palace with the prince's husband and be accompanied by his secret guard and concubine.

In addition, she was already a hot topic, and when the princes saw them coming, they all looked at her sideways.

Those who are not in the know are simply curious about why Yu Mingshu and the Seventh Prince have such a close relationship, as close as honey and oil.

Those who knew the situation were thinking, he is indeed worthy of being the consul, he hates the Seventh Prince so much, yet he can pretend to be in love with him without any flaws.

Yu Mingshu ignored these inquiring glances, held Cangran's arm, held his head high, and was as proud as ever.

Just before the audience, Cang Ran asked her quietly, "Have you thought about how to explain this to the Queen Mother?"

"No." Yu Mingshu was telling the truth.

She knew in her heart that since Cang Zhao and Feng Yuxin knew about the abuse of Cang Ran after marriage, it was no longer a secret in the entire royal family.

I’m afraid there will be many people making a fuss about this matter today.

Yu Mingshu was also having a headache about what to say in front of the Queen.

The sudden invasion of the alien species left her no time to even help Cangran treat his injuries.

But if you don't come, you will be criticized even more.

With Cangran's S-level mental power, he is already outstanding among the princes, and he also has experience in fighting on the battlefield many times.

"How about leaving it to me?" Cangran asked her again.

"What are you going to say?"

"If you are really asked, you will know then." But Cangran refused to tell her now.

Yu Mingshu looked at him suspiciously.

It’s not that I’m afraid that Cangran will say something nonsense in front of the Queen. After all, they are now husband and wife, and Cangran is so smart that he will never do anything to damage her reputation again.

But she also didn't understand why Cangran protected her so much?

Even if he didn't come forward, she could admit that she was impulsive and take the initiative to apologize to the Queen. If she was punished by the Queen, it would probably be fine.

Why is he doing this?

Whipping the prince and making him kneel before his bed all night long was already a bit excessive...

And Yu Mingshu's pretty face, sometimes tilting his head to look at him, sometimes lowering his head to think seriously, was really cute in Cangran's eyes.

He couldn't help but want to tease her.

"What are you thinking about? Are you regretting this?"

"roll!"

After hearing what he said, Yu Mingshu's expression changed immediately like a cat with its fur standing on end. It turned out that some guys were not worth his guilt.

"Why should I regret it?" Yu Mingshu said stubbornly.

"Good, you didn't regret it!"

Yu Mingshu: “…”

Why does this sound so mean?

"Are you angry?" Cangran tapped her hand lightly with his finger.

"No." She was just a little depressed. "You make so many unnecessary movements!"

This guy Cangran was clearly eroding the defenses she had built in her heart bit by bit.

If one day this line of defense really collapses under his constant erosion.

How should she face this male who had bullied her so badly?

His actions directly deprived her of the right to choose her own husband.

"I won't forgive you."

Yu Mingshu said this without any context.

"Then I won't forgive you." Cangran agreed tolerantly.

"I'm not telling you."

"Oh." Cangran responded calmly, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

If she hadn't been thinking about this matter, she wouldn't have said such a thing for no reason.

When they met the empress, Yu Mingshu brought Cangran to greet the empress according to etiquette.

The Queen sat on the throne and nodded to them.

He continued to discuss the current battle situation and countermeasures with Celine, the commander of the First Military District who was in charge of the security of the central area. Her slightly tired eyes were full of worry.

Afterwards, other princes came to pay their respects.

Soon, many royal family members and their relatives gathered in the huge conference hall.

Yu Mingshu glanced at the people who came. All the royal family members who could rush here at the first time had been mobilized here. So how serious was this alien invasion?

Sure enough, when everyone arrived, the queen stood up with the help of the throne.

"The situation this time is extremely serious. If we cannot resist the alien invasion, the empire's thousands of years of foundation may be destroyed. I wonder if everyone is ready to fight?"

"We will follow your Majesty's arrangements." Everyone responded in unison.

Commander of the First Military Region, Celine, walked down from the Queen's throne.

Her boots tapped a rapid rhythm on the ground, and when she spread her fingers, the holographic projection opened like a blooming mechanical bud.
