Lin An'an was transported to a strange world where, besides humans, there were various ferocious beasts and monsters.
Lin An'an looked down and saw his own soft and tender little tent...
Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Changluo curled his lips slightly: "I know."
He paused, then asked, "Are you here to attend Aunt Bai's death anniversary banquet?"
"Yes." Lin Anan leaned closer to Xia Changluo, supporting Xia Changluo's body with her own body without leaving any trace.
Xia Changluo's body was still very weak after all. After squatting for a long time, he began to sway slightly as if he was unstable.
Lin Anan grabbed one of her eldest brother's hands and carefully passed on a trace of her supernatural power to him, helping him isolate some of the toxins in his body.
Xia Changluo shook his hand gently in return: "The death anniversary banquet will start at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Before that, I will go to Aunt Bai's room on the top floor."
Lin Anan nodded, then remembered that Xia Changluo couldn't see him, so he said, "Okay." He leaned over and hugged Xia Changluo gently, "Brother, be careful. Your own safety is the most important thing."
"Well, don't worry." Xia Changluo said softly. He wanted to hug back but was afraid that others would notice something was wrong, so he could only hold Lin Anan's hand more tightly. "Wish us all the best."
Lin Anan murmured: "It will definitely go smoothly."
With other people around, Lin Anan didn't dare to take up too much of Xia Changluo's time, for fear that someone would notice something.
After the two of them briefly exchanged words, Lin Anan stood up and left with Feng Wu.
Perhaps because she was worried, Lin Anan didn't sleep well that night.
When Lin Anan tossed and turned for who knows how many times, the person beside her grabbed her with his long arms and pressed her firmly into his arms.
Lin Anan whispered, "Sorry, Brother Wolf, I woke you up."
"No." Feng Wuye said softly, "I didn't fall asleep either."
The breath in front of her was warm and reassuring. Lin Anan simply buried her head in the other's arms and closed her eyes again.
Feng Wu pressed him against his chest and said, "Go to sleep. There are a lot of things to do tomorrow. You should replenish as much energy as possible."
"I know." Lin Anan's voice sounded muffled, "Brother Wolf, please relax a little. I'm having a hard time breathing."
Feng Wu was stunned when he heard this, and quickly loosened his arm, with a faint blush on the tip of his ear: "...I'm sorry."
Lin Anan twisted her body on the bed, moved up a little, and buried her head in Feng Wu's shoulder.
"Goodnight, Wolf." He whispered.
The operation on the second day went even more smoothly than Lin Anan had expected.
At around eight o'clock, he heard Xia Changluo's voice in the mental connection in his mind.
[Ah Lin, I'm going to Aunt Bai's room.] Xia Changluo said, [I'll find a more secluded place to hide the detector later.]
Lin Anan immediately responded: [Okay, be careful. ]
[Okay.] Xia Changluo said softly.
At the same time, on the top floor of the main palace of the imperial palace.
After Xia Changluo put on his clothes and opened the door, he was not surprised to see three guards who followed him closely at the door.
"Your Highness." The leading guard bowed his head slightly, "The Second Prince has asked us to ask you to stay out of the house and avoid the wind. There are still nearly two hours before the death anniversary banquet. You can wait a while before going out."
"I'm not going out." Xia Changluo shook his head gently, "Today is Aunt Bai's death anniversary. I want to go to Aunt Bai's room."
The guard paused slightly. Bai Cenrou's room was in the main palace. If Xia Changluo wanted to go, he didn't have to leave the main palace. It didn't seem to conflict with Xia Yuanhan's instructions.
Xia Changluo did not intend to give them room to refuse, and was supported by Lu Bo as he walked towards the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator, Xia Yuanhan's voice sounded from behind him: "Brother, are you going to Aunt Bai's place?"
Xia Changluo glanced sideways and hummed softly.
"That's great. I want to go too. Let's go together." Xia Yuanhan stood beside Xia Changluo and smiled at him. "It's a pity that A-Lin is not here today. In the past, the three of us always went together."
He sighed, and both his expression and the emotion in his eyes revealed genuine regret, as if he really felt sorry for Xia Lin's absence.
Xia Changluo curled up his fingers hanging at his side. He sighed and looked worried: "Yes, A-Lin will definitely be sad to miss Aunt Bai's death anniversary banquet. Yuanhan, how is A-Lin's illness? Has he gotten better recently?"
"The therapist said that A-Lin's disease is too rare." Xia Yuanhan lowered his eyes, "They will try their best."
Xia Changluo closed his eyes, as if he could not accept the news, and even his body trembled.
Lu Bo beside him supported him and said worriedly: "Your Highness..."
Xia Changluo raised his hand and waved: "I'm fine."
He gasped twice, then opened his eyes again, with just the right hint of sadness on his face, looking extremely fragile.
"I'm fine." He murmured again, "I believe Alin will be fine."
Xia Yuanhan curled his lips imperceptibly, quite satisfied with Xia Changluo's reaction.
The elevator dinged and Lu Bo helped Xia Changluo walk in.
Ever since his condition worsened, Xia Yuanhan began to monitor his every move, and Xia Jiyuan's behavior became strange, Xia Changluo never came to the top floor of the main palace again.
Xia Changluo had long guessed that Xia Jiyuan's strange behavior was related to Xia Yuanhan, but it was not until he learned the truth from Xia Lin that he realized how cruel Xia Yuanhan was.
No, he's not cruel, he just has no heart at all.
Thinking of this, Xia Changluo lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the emotions that were surging uncontrollably in his eyes.
When the elevator took them to the top floor, Xia Changluo raised his eyes again, and the emotions in his eyes had been well concealed.
Xia Yuanhan walked out of the elevator before him, turned around and stretched out his hand to him, as if he wanted to help him: "Come on, big brother."
Xia Changluo took his hand and quickly let go: "Let's go."
Xia Jiyuan's relationship with Bai Cenrou was not very good, so although they lived on the same floor, they rested in two different rooms.
To be more precise, Xia Jiyuan did not have a close relationship with his three queens.
When he was young, Xia Changluo couldn’t understand why, but when he grew up, he understood the reason.
Xia Jiyuan is a very cold-hearted person. He only cares about interests. In his opinion, family affection and love are not even as important as having a competent and useful subordinate.
There is also no family affection between Xia Changluo and Xia Jiyuan. In fact, because the other party has long restricted Xia Lin's activities, his feelings towards Xia Jiyuan can even be said to be disgust and hatred.
But such disgust was not strong enough to make him want to kill.
Xia Jiyuan was not a good husband or a good father, nor was he a wise ruler of the empire, but as the ruler of the empire, even if some of his decisions seemed inappropriate, his starting point was indeed for the empire, not for his own selfish desires.
But Xia Yuanhan is different.
Xia Changluo didn't dare to imagine what the future of the empire would be like if Xia Yuanhan really got the throne.
When he was not yet the ruler of a country, the empire, no, the entire galaxy was ruined by Xia Yuanhan and became the current state full of holes.
Xia Changluo felt a chill in his heart and his steps became unsteady. Only after Lu Bo supported his body did he come back to his senses.
Xia Yuanhan said with concern: "Brother, if you are not feeling well, you should go back and rest. There will be a death anniversary banquet later."
"It's okay." Xia Changluo smiled at him with a pale face.
Seeing that he insisted, Xia Yuanhan didn't say anything more.
Bai Cenrou's room was adjacent to Xia Jiyuan's room. Before entering Bai Cenrou's room, Xia Changluo, who was standing next to the decorative armor at the door, moved his fingers slightly while Xia Yuanhan was opening the door.
He gently stuffed the mini detector into the gap between the armor joints without being noticed by anyone.
Xia Changluo raised his lips and then put them down. He called softly in his mind: [Ah Lin, the detector is placed in the decorative armor at the door.]
On the other side, Lin Anan received Xia Changluo's contact as soon as possible.
[Received.] Lin Anan replied, [Let me know when you leave the top floor.]
Lin Anan nodded to Feng Wu beside him, indicating that Xia Changluo's action had been successful.
More than ten minutes later, Xia Changluo triggered the mental connection again.
Feng Wu was already prepared. After receiving Lin Anan's message, he immediately connected the operational link between him and the detector.
On the top floor of the main palace, in the armor at the door of Bai Cenrou's room, the small invisible detector flew out silently, avoiding several mechanical butlers patrolling at the door, and flew into Xia Jiyuan's room through the tiny gap in the vent.
Xia Yuanhan did not set up any additional defense systems in the room, so the detector was able to quickly search Xia Jiyuan's room.
The detector's image was projected in real time onto the light screen in front of Lin Anan. Lin Anan stared at the screen without blinking, not wanting to miss any corner that might contain evidence of Xia Yuanhan.
"Is there something like a safe in your Majesty's room?" Feng Wu suddenly asked.
Lin Anan thought for a moment and said, "There should be one, but I don't know where he put it."
Feng Wu nodded and said nothing more, concentrating on operating the detector.
The detector is covered with sealed metal properties. Things like safes are generally made of various types of metals.
Soon, the detector stopped in front of the bed, and a conspicuous prompt popped up on the display screen.
The mini detector rolled in the air and suddenly showed its shape and grew several times larger. Two metal arms stretched out from its body and gently pressed a hidden button on the bedside.
After a slight beeping sound, the headboard slid to the sides, revealing a large metal safe inside.
The metal arm of the detector quickly stuck to the safe, and Feng Wu's metal power overflowed from it. The safe clicked, and the heavy metal door was easily opened by Feng Wu.
Lin Anan subconsciously held her breath.
The safe was empty. Lin Anan was stunned: "Nothing?"
"No, there is something." Feng Wu said softly. He controlled the robotic arm to reach into the safe and waved it gently to break a layer of transparent barrier.
The transparent barrier shattered, revealing a tiny chip inside, no bigger than a fingernail.
Feng Wu raised his lips slightly: "Found it."
