Chapter 80 Oh, really? Take me over to have a look.

Scarlett rested in Herda Palace for two days. On the third day, she went to the royal court.

Catherine was quite surprised to see Scarlett greet her on her own initiative, and did not meet her immediately. After she finished dealing with several stacks of documents in her hand, she told Katrina to bring people in.

"Queen Mother."

Scarlett stood in the center of the hall, bowed politely, her pretty face smiling, her voice sweet.

As soon as Catherine heard it, she knew Scarlett wanted to see her for something.

She looked at Scarlett calmly, said nothing, clenched the pen in her hand, and continued to review the documents.

Scarlett was not in a hurry and waited patiently in the hall.

When the documents on the desk were all gone, Catherine decided to stop writing. She then spoke, "Queen Mother, I want to go to the 403 Research Institute."

Scarlett has not forgotten Christine.

Gra wants to check, and Christine wants to check too.

After reviewing the last document, Catherine capped her pen and put it aside. She looked up at Scarlett and asked, "What are you going to do at the institute?"

Ever since the original owner caused a big disturbance in the research institute, Catherine has completely blocked access to the institute. No one can open it without Catherine's approval.

Scarlett smiled shyly, "I want to go see Ashley."

Catherine raised the corners of her lips and smiled barely audible, "You want to see him?"

Scarlett nodded, "Yes."

"Why?"

"He is my son's beastly husband. I haven't seen him for a long time. I miss him."

"You miss him?"

Catherine made a surprised expression, her eyebrows twitched, she didn't believe it, and directly refused: "No."

Ashley is a researcher at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research. The project he is researching concerns the people and is one of the key support projects of the empire. Catherine does not allow anyone to disturb him.

Scarlett's last behavior had already lost her credibility in her heart, and she would not indulge Scarlett a second time.

Scarlett was not discouraged by the rejection. She said "Oh" obediently, knelt down and bowed deeply, "I'll take my leave."

She was so well behaved that Catherine became alert. She said in a deep voice, "Scarlett, are you thinking of something bad?"

Scarlett opened her eyes, her brows furrowed, and her expression immediately became aggrieved. "Mother, how can you think of me like this? Although I miss Ashley, I will never do anything that goes against your will. If you say not to see me, I will not see you. I will obey you in everything."

Catherine was stunned.

These words were said in a subtle way, but she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard them. She always felt that although Scarlett's tone was subtle, it was full of accusations.

It's as if she is trying to break up a couple.

Catherine smiled and asked again: "Scarlett, did you go to the 403 Institute just to see Ashley?"

Scarlett pursed her lips. "Of course. He's the beastly husband the Queen Mother gave me, so naturally I have to treat him well. There was a misunderstanding in the past that led to trouble in our relationship, but I've come to my senses now and want to spend more time with him to smooth things over. Since he refuses to return to Huldah Palace, I'll go to the research institute to accompany him."

Scarlett raised her eyebrows, smiled brightly, and looked at Catherine as if to ask for credit, her eyes sparkling. "Mother Queen, I've been getting along well with Servia and the others lately, and our relationship is much better than before. The negative news on Starnet about me abusing my beastly husband has disappeared by more than half. Have you seen it, Mother Queen?"

"The Queen Mother has seen it and it's well done."

Catherine glared at her, not knowing what she meant.

As a princess, she should treat the beastly husband equally. If she is partial, she will still be criticized by others.

A moment.

Catherine suppressed her smile, assumed the dignity of a king, and asked in a deep voice, "Scarlett, will you make a mistake if you go to the 403 Research Institute again this time?"

If she makes a mistake again, she will send Scarlett directly to the court and deal with her according to the law.

Scarlett also heard the solemnity in Catherine's words. She did not dare to neglect it. She straightened her expression and replied solemnly, "Your son will never make a mistake."

Catherine nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you into the institute. Whether you can meet Ashley depends on your ability."

The research institute is very large, with more than fifty laboratories.

Scarlett needs to find out which room Ashley is in by herself, and whether she can go in is up to her.

Catherine had promised Ashley that she would never issue an order forcing them to meet without his consent.

So even if Scarlett goes there, she may not be able to see Ashley.

Everything depends on yourself.

Catherine would not make another exception for her.

Scarlett's original purpose was to enter the institute and meet Ashley? It was just a cover.

But after Catherine said that, she immediately took advantage of the situation and asked Catherine for mercy, "Mother, you are really putting me in a difficult position. I am not smart and I don't have a position. How can I make Ashley sincerely accept me? I feel wronged."

"How about Queen Mother grant me another grace?"

"What grace do you want?"

"It's okay for me not to go to the lab, but I can't just sit outside and wait for Ashley. I'm a princess, and that would be too embarrassing. I want permission to go in and out of other places so I don't lose face. If others ask, I can say I'm here to study."

These words were well-reasoned and it was hard for Catherine to refuse. She shook her head helplessly and compromised, "Okay."

He also warned: "Don't make trouble."

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

…

…

Scarlett left the royal court and without delay, she took a flying ship directly to the 403 Research Institute.

The journey is quite far, and it will take about an hour.

During this hour, Scarlett was not idle. She checked the information of the institute on Starnet.

The work of the institute is confidential and not much information will be leaked to the outside world.

Scarlett didn't have much hope, she just wanted to know some basics.

Go over all the information you can find in your mind and remember the key points.

The flying ship just arrived at the 403 Research Institute.

…

…

As Scarlett got off the flying ship, she saw several uniformed managers standing not far away, looking at her with smiles.

"Your Highness, welcome to our guidance."

As they led the way, they looked at Scarlett's face. Her smile was warm, but there was also a feeling of a miserable life floating on it, which made people feel sad.

Last time, Scarlett came and caused chaos in the institute.

Except for a few senior leaders who received the information early and asked for leave, the rest of the people were greatly shocked.

Data destroyed.

The instrument was damaged.

The reagents were mixed together in a mess and almost blew up the lab.

It took them a month to recover.

this time.

Scarlett came again, and she came so quickly that they had nowhere to hide and had no choice but to go ahead.

Scarlett followed them and pretended to take a stroll around, with a warm smile on her face all the time, just like the sun today, warm and cozy.

But the managers who received her did not feel any warmth. On the contrary, every time they looked at each other, they would feel creepy and sweat profusely, always feeling that Scarlett would attack in the next second.

People are like this, the more they fear something, the more likely it will come.

As they toured the lab.

The attack that had been lingering in their minds finally came.

Scarlett stopped and turned to ask the kind-looking female beside her, "By the way, which lab is Ashley in?"

That female happened to be Ashley's instructor, Vanessa.

It was she who received Scarlett last time.

at first.

Scarlett also listened to the whispers and communicated peacefully.

Until I knew Ashley's location.

She started to go crazy.

This was the question I asked at that time.

Several other managers had not experienced the weight of this statement, but had heard it.

They couldn't help but get nervous and looked at Vanessa.

A moment.

Vanessa felt as if a heavy burden was pressing down on her, and she was a little breathless. Not only did she feel stuffy in her heart, but her eyebrows also felt a little swollen.

She pretended to be calm, wiped the sweat from her forehead, raised the corner of her mouth, and smiled so hard that her temples twitched. "Your Highness, Ashley is in Lab 27."

The laboratory is confidential and only authorized researchers have access.

Vanessa has no authority.

The others don't have permission either.

They held their breath, not daring to breathe, for fear that Scarlett would say, "Take her over there."

However.

Murphy's Law takes effect again.

In the midst of their tension, they heard words that sounded like the devil's whisper.

"Oh, really? Take me over there."
