Chapter 426 If I'm the one breaking the law

The viewers in the live stream: "!!!"

Awooooo!

What a thrilling plot this is!

Those who watched the live stream shared and commented, and the public opinion shifted.

[A man who knows every single one of the imperial laws by heart and can apply them skillfully—who the hell would be so foolish as to personally negotiate with him? Hahahaha!]

[I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out; some of these people aren't royal guards at all, but members of the National Assembly.]

[No wonder he's a man undefeated on the battlefield and at the negotiating table; in a word, handsome.]

[The Empire's youngest general is not so easily threatened.]

"Your Highness is right, the law is above all else. Otherwise, if I said I was going to do a good deed, would I hold a gun to your head and force you to hand over all your possessions?"

Although the energy-boosting fruits and vegetables for the princess are mostly for the wealthy, an ordinary person like me can afford to eat them occasionally if I save up. But the physical therapy at fertility clinics is something I can never even dream of in my lifetime.

The person upstairs is right, and Elder Ouyang's words are righteous and eloquent. However, reality is cruel. Historically, research on fertility rates has been monopolized by the upper class, and ordinary people like us, even with money, may not be able to enjoy it.

[Some people are being sold out and still helping to count the money. Just watch, if the princess's planet is bought, soon the energy fruits with 100% purification value will become something we ordinary people can't afford. Still hoping to increase fertility? Are they dreaming?]

[I was being naive. It turns out the Princess Consort is the best to us. At least I have the chance to snag some high-energy fruits and vegetables from her store, and there are often special offers.]

[Who just said that old man did the right thing? Heh, his intentions were good, but please don't start that.]

[Support the Princess Consort and resist the capitalization of energy fruits with 100% purification value.]

After netizens rallied to Qu Tong's defense, they immediately reported Elder Ouyang to the Supreme Court, and some even went so far as to impeach everyone in the council.

Elder Ouyang's fingers were crushed, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain. He struggled to lift his head and said, "General Si, this is a personal vendetta under the guise of public duty, which is contrary to justice."

Si Yuting sneered, and instead of answering, he asked, "When Elder Ouyang threatened my wife with a gun, didn't he take revenge for personal reasons?"

Elder Ouyang was speechless and looked to Si Xian for help.

Si Xian was already furious.

This is outrageous!

This is outrageous!

Just as she was about to reprimand Si Yuting, he spoke first, "The Lan family is suspected of colluding with space pirates to trade and use prohibited drugs. As a suspect, Consort Lan is being investigated by the Royal Guard and the Sirius Legion."

"You!" Si Xian's gaze toward Si Yuting was so dark it looked like he wanted to kill him.

In the end, he turned and left.

Li Hanchi turned around with Si Xian, but Si Yuting's voice from behind made him pause.

"Marshal Han Chi, you brought my wife into the palace, yet you allowed your subordinates to follow outsiders' orders and commit violence against her without stopping them. This is a serious violation of the Royal Guard's code of conduct. I will report this matter to the military and request that your qualification to command the Royal Guard be revoked."

Li Hanchi did not respond, nor could he.

Si Xian and Li Hanchi left, and the remaining few looked at each other, trembling with fear, sweating profusely in the October heat.

Si Yuting glanced at them indifferently, his aura overwhelming: "Men, take Elder Ouyang and the people from the Elder Council to the Ministry of Justice."

Su Hua led the Sky Wolf Legion members in.

Elder Ouyang was carried away with his hands hanging limply, his heart ashen.

Si Yuting led Qu Tong out, and no one dared to stop them.

We boarded the aircraft.

Qu Tong jumped onto Si Yuting and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Honey, you were so cool just now!"

Si Yuting supported Qu Tong, a faint smile in his eyes, "Protecting one's wife is a husband's responsibility."

"Aren't you afraid of offending Si Xian? Didn't you see his face turn pale just now?" Qu Tong teased.

Si Yuting carried Qu Tong to the seat, fastened her seatbelt, and scolded, "You still have time to worry about others? Didn't I tell Butler Chi to tell you not to pay attention to these things?"

"I was thinking that since you're in the palace anyway, I might as well see what Si Xian wants from me," Qu Tong stuck her tongue out at Si Yuting.

Si Yuting had no choice but to tell Qu Tong, "I'll go with you next time I come back."

"knew."

Knowing that Si Yuting had been particularly worried about her lately, she nodded obediently.

On the way, Qu Tong looked at the messages on the StarNet and glanced at Si Yuting several times.

"Speak your mind."

Qu Tong rested her chin on her hand, puzzled, and asked, "How could someone as muddle-headed as Si Xian produce such a bunch of good bamboo shoots?"

Si Yuting glanced at her but did not refute her. "So he abdicated early."

Indeed, if Si Xian, as an emperor, is so lacking in self-control, it's bound to cause a major incident sooner or later if he doesn't abdicate.

I heard that he almost caused a military uprising by acting rashly for the sake of a woman, but it was the father and son Si Chen and Si Yuting who turned the tide, with one controlling the court and the other stabilizing the battlefield.

It was after that that the three armies were disbanded, and Li Hanchi was forced to resign from his position as commander.

Although scandals involving the royal family are not deliberately brought up, some can still be found on the internet.

"They even want to sacrifice Elder Ouyang to seize my Luoyi Star, while they themselves stand behind the scenes, playing a clever game."

"They even did a live stream across the entire internet, which damaged Elder Ouyang's reputation and put pressure on me from everyone."

"But in reality, how is this kind of robbery any different from the Zerg's behavior back then?"

Qu Tong complained to Si Yuting intermittently.

We soon returned to Yuelan Bay.

Butler Chi came out to greet her with concern. Only after confirming that Qu Tong was not frightened did he feel relieved and go about his own business.

Si Yuting led Qu Tong upstairs and gently smoothed her hair. "I still have some things to take care of, and I'll also help you apply for a jury trial. You and the baby should take a nap first, I'll wake you up when it's done."

He remembered that since Ali became pregnant, she would take a nap almost every day at noon, but today she was delayed and it was a bit late.

Actually, there were signs back then. He thought it was because Ali was too tired from pre-exam training and preparing medicine.

Just as Si Yuting was about to leave, Qu Tong grabbed his hand: "Wait a minute."

Si Yuting was forced to bend down. "What's wrong?"

"Ask a question."

"Go ahead and ask."

Qu Tong tilted her head back, her almond-shaped eyes clear and bright, as if they had been washed with water.

"If I were the one to break the law, would Your Highness still stand by my side forever, just as you have today?"

Si Yuting asked hesitantly, "Why would you ask this question? Luo Yixing was given to you by the Empress Dowager through proper procedures. No one can take it away from you unless you want to, and it doesn't violate any laws."

Qu Tong shook her head, her hand across her stomach, her smile not reaching her eyes: "They only know that the plants I grow can increase fertility, and so many people think I should hand over the planet and the formula to support the Empire's fertility cause."

"You know, my special abilities and my blood are more valuable for research, but I don't want to be researched, I don't want to be in a laboratory."

"If that day ever comes, and everyone in the empire hopes that I will bring benefits to the empire, and I have done something against the law, I want to know, as my husband, His Highness the War God, who is the most law-abiding, fair and just ruler of the empire, what will he do?"
