Chapter 204: The Mighty King Rabbit, Ouch, You've Been Exposed

After rejecting the position of heir, Xu Lingqu made a deal with Andrew Euripides. In the process of liquidating Xu Chengbi's power, she had to protect two people, Xu Xizhen and Gina.

As Xu Chengbi's biological daughter, Xu Xizhen's status as a military academy student will not be affected, and she will be able to enter the military normally in the future.

As for Gina, she had really helped Xu Chengbi do a lot of things. Logically, she would be the key interrogation target, and she only needed to explain herself to Ares and then leave.

Anyone other than the two of them would be subjected to rounds of interrogation by Ares.

Xu Lingqu promised Andrew Euripides that she would hold a press conference as the heir, at which she would announce her own level of mental power in order to lure out those from the Merlin family.

When Liu Ming walked out of the palace, night fell on the capital star, but nothing got dark. Various lights were on, people were coming and going on the streets, and the capital star was as bright as day at night.

Therefore, Xu Lingqu could see at a glance the group of people guarding the gate of the palace.

They were also wearing various military cadet uniforms, and there were more than a hundred people gathered here. The four people standing in the front were Shen Shouli, Jin, Xu Xizhen and Liu Zheng.

They all came to the capital star by taking the fastest star-track train.

Jin looked at the palace behind Xu Lingqu and touched her nose guiltily. She must have known his identity as a prince. In this case, she felt embarrassed to act humiliatingly in front of Xu Lingqu.

"Why are you all here?" she asked.

Jin Fang Taibai was very good at answering quickly: "The Federation got scared. They directly withdrew from the eight-school competition. They seemed to use the excuse that the commanders-in-chief of the Qing Army and the Federation University couldn't attend. The league center said we would just win. Colonel Yun said we did a good job this time, winning all three league events. They organized a hundred people in the arena, and each school sent ten people on the fastest star train directly to the capital planet to receive the military's commendation!"

He pointed at Moye's men and said, "When we arrived at the capital planet, they insisted on coming here to wait for you to come out. The rest of us had nothing else to do, so we came here together. What a shame! I was thinking of you becoming the commander-in-chief of the eight schools and leading all of us..."

The chance to be teammates with Xu Lingqu was finally lost! Damn it!

Xu Lingqu nodded, then turned his gaze to Xu Xizhen. At this moment, her eyes were red, and there were still traces of tears on her face. She looked at Xu Lingqu with confusion.

She had just received news that her father had died on charges of treason, the Xu Mansion had been sealed, and her mother and brother had been taken away for questioning by Ares. She had thought she would also be taken away by Ares's men, but Ares's men inexplicably let her go, which made her even more confused.

The huge change made Xu Xizhen at a loss for what to think for a moment. She had no choice but to stand at the gate of the palace and wait for Xu Lingqu to come out.

The moment she saw Xu Lingqu, Xu Xizhen suddenly couldn't control her emotions. She had actually been trying hard to grow up, but in essence she was still a little girl who subconsciously relied on her family. Such a huge change made her feel like she was abandoned by the whole world.

Tears fell like strings, and Xu Xizhen hugged Xu Lingqu: "Sister, you are all I have."

Xu Lingqu patted her back gently and patiently comforted her: "I'm here."

Those who didn't know the truth were frightened by Xu Xizhen's performance. Jin turned around and waved at them, "Disperse, disperse, go back to the dormitory assigned by the military and sleep. Our commander doesn't have time for a military review here, so leave quickly."

After Jindu said this, those who came to join in the fun left tactfully. After a while, there were only five of them left at the palace gate.

Xu Lingqu's shoulders were soaked with Xu Xizhen's tears. Jin originally knew part of the truth. After coming out of the cocoon cabin, he immediately grabbed an Ares and asked about the situation. He felt mixed emotions.

Shen Shouli and Liu Zheng witnessed Ares's men coming to explain the situation to Xu Xizhen. When Shen Shouli heard that it was his grandfather who did it, he was not too surprised. He knew that the old man would not come to Yuheng Star just to watch him compete.

only--

He looked at Xu Lingqu who was being relied on by Xu Xizhen. It was certain that Xu Chengbi was an unforgivable villain. So his adoption of Xu Lingqu was just a malicious exploitation.

How long has she been bearing the pressure from her "adoptive father" alone?

And Tang Muwen, who had been close to her at that time, was taken away on the spot by Ares's people. Shen Shouli's heart ached slightly. Xu Lingqu was really surrounded by a group of people who had bad intentions towards her.

He couldn't help her at all, and sometimes even held her back.

The five of them waited at the palace gate until Xu Xizhen regained his composure.

"Your mother and brother likely had no involvement in these events. They'll be released soon." Xu Lingqu wiped her tears. "I've spoken with His Majesty Andrew, and your status as a military academy student won't be affected in any way. Zhenzhen, you can truly take control of your own life from now on."

"Did His Majesty Andrew agree to your request directly?" Liu Zheng asked in confusion. "Is he quite easy to talk to?"

Jin was horrified and couldn't believe it. "He... His Majesty Andrew must have made a deal with you to agree to your request!"

He knew his father's character very well.

"Yes, in exchange I will hold a press conference tomorrow as the heir to the empire." Xu Lingqu said lightly.

gold:? ? ?

Xu Xizhen was so frightened that he forgot to cry.

I lost my father, a general, but gained a sister, a queen.

"You'll find out tomorrow. Now go back and rest." Xu Lingqu was also tired and didn't want to say too much. She hated those reporters the most, but she had to hold a press conference tomorrow...

I don’t know what kind of messed up questions they will ask then.

-

The next morning.

Xu Lingqu held a press conference in the meeting hall of the imperial palace. The scene was crowded with cameras, and Ares, fully armed, stood on both sides to maintain order.

She sat down and took the first question.

"Mighty King Rabbit, woooo, do you know you've fallen off the horse?"

Xu Lingqu: ...
