Marshal Will and Admiral Li Yu, as the leaders of the alliance diplomats, were waiting at the gate of the palace. Not long after, Tang Mi came out and conveyed Chi Yao's intentions in detail.

Tang Mi said, "The palace is an important place for the empire. The two officers still have to deal with the affairs of the alliance. I won't keep two of you in the palace any longer."

After performing the standard imperial etiquette, Tang Mi asked the attendants to see them off.

Will and Li Yu's faces were so gloomy that water could drip out.

They did not enter Chi Yao and Shi Xing's residence, which was the current imperial majesty's bedroom, but asked for an audience in the reception building on the outermost layer of the palace, and were rejected again.

After being rejected, the palace also drove them away.

After Tang Mi finished speaking, a waiter came with several palace guards and "asked" them to get up and leave.

The damage was not great, but the insult was extremely high.

Will and Li Yu had never seen a serious person, and getting angry at a clerk was not in line with their status, so they were "asked" to go outside the palace and get on the airship. The two men then put down their already bad faces and started to rage.

"This is too much!"

"Excessive, it's really too much."

The younger Admiral Li Yu had never been treated like this before, and he cursed immediately.

Marshal Will also had a cold face, but compared to cursing, his many years of experience as a military officer made him more calm.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Will restrained himself.

Thinking of something, his originally somewhat angry mood suddenly calmed down.

"The Prime Minister scolded Jan Miller and asked him to stay in the Empire no matter what to complete this diplomatic exchange."

"The people from Tianyuan Star discussed internally, and finally let us come because the Empire had a relatively good impression..."

Although it was aggrieved, the pressure from the Alliance was more substantial. Marshal Will said, "We can't leave."

Li Yu didn't understand, "But the palace said no."

Will showed a helpless smile, "If they don't see you the first time, then they can naturally ask for a second and third time."

Li Yu choked: "..."

Yes, this is how you ask for forgiveness after offending someone. Now the situation is no longer up to them.

Will's words quickly calmed Li Yu down. There was information coming into the communicator. Li Yu felt even more suffocated after reading it, but he still truthfully conveyed the situation of his residence to Marshal Will: "Now the diplomats from other planets are contacting their home planets." "

Among the six planets, one planet has expressed its position today, and it agrees with the Prime Minister's opinion. No matter what, the Alliance cannot break off diplomatic relations with the Empire. Let us think of a solution first."

Will had expected this a long time ago. The Alliance is not like the Empire, which has an inseparable large planet as its home planet. On the contrary, the internal political system and cultural ecology of the Alliance are diverse. It is not easy to reach a consensus. Political differences are the daily life of the Alliance.

However... Will sighed. There is a border issue. The Alliance's attitude towards the Empire is rare.

It is impossible to break off diplomatic relations.

It depends on how to make up for the shame that was exposed.

Will and Li Yu discussed for the whole afternoon. At their request, Miller also arrived outside the palace later. Before dinner, Marshal Will asked for a second meeting. This time he had a reason, saying that Grand Maester Miller wanted to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor and his partner in person for his inappropriate remarks.

Li Yu felt that it was impossible to lower his attitude to this extent.

But when the news was passed on, the reply received was the same as at noon: no meeting.

Marshal Weir: “…”

Bachelor Miller: “…”

Admiral Li Yu: “…”

Chief Secretary Wei Wan smiled and said, “Your Majesty said that if Bachelor Miller really wants to apologize, it will be the same if he posts it on the Starnet. In addition to the intranet of the Twin Galaxy, access to the Starnet extranet is universal in the entire galaxy, so he will be able to see it anyway.”

He paused and said, “But let’s be honest, you have offended me, and the Empire has the right not to forgive you.”

This time he didn’t chase them away, but Wei Wan left after he finished speaking, and it would be awkward for them not to leave.

Back on the airship, even though he was angry, Miller was sharp, "Not enough, the apology conditions are not enough, the Empire may not be so easy to meet."

Li Yu: "What do you mean?"

Marshal Will had thought of this a long time ago, "I think so too, the stage has been set up, the Empire will not give up unless it gets some practical benefits."

In just two days, Miller seemed to have aged by more than ten years, and sighed, "This time I misjudged the situation of both sides."

Marshal Will can't say that he has no complaints in his heart, but now is not the time to complain.

Thinking for a moment, he said: "Ask for an audience again in the evening. If you still don't see me, I will have to report it to the Alliance Cabinet."

If he still doesn't see me, it involves concessions in diplomatic interests, and this can only be decided by the Alliance.

Miller nodded with difficulty.

He asked for a meeting again in the evening and added some apology conditions, but unfortunately the palace responded as before and refused to see him.

Marshal Will then notified all diplomats and asked them to hold an emergency meeting in the evening to report the situation to the alliance and work together to find a way to overcome the current difficulties.

It was an easy day for Chi Yao and Shi Xing, but it was not that easy.

Chi Yao had a lot of accumulated imperial affairs to deal with, and Shi Xing might have been too tired in the past two days. Today, Chi Yao woke up and was able to sleep well after he felt relieved.

The most typical manifestation is that Chi Yao finally had time to tell Ren Yanyong and Wei Zhen about his plans for diplomacy and the future position of the Empire in the galaxy. While they were talking, Shi Xing was sitting on the sofa looking at the military affairs that Chi Yao handed to him, which was the approval of the military expenditure application. Shi Xing was looking at the logistics purchase list. As he was looking, Chi Yao came to an end. When he turned around, the floating screen in front of Shi Xing was still floating, but he was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.

Chi Yao: "..."

Ren Yanyong and Wei Zhen also saw it. Maybe because he and Shi Xing had experienced a lot in the past two days, it was rare that Ren Yanyong spoke for Shi Xing and said, "Your Highness is really tired these two days."

Chi Yao looked at Ren Yanyong, a little surprised.

Ren Yanyong misunderstood the meaning of this look and continued, "During the day, we need to meet with Alliance diplomats. When we have free time, we take every opportunity to memorize emergency plans and learn the history of the Empire."

At this point, Ren Yanyong said sincerely, "This is too much for the Blue Star people."

Chi Yao realized something and nodded silently.

He asked Yan Changyue to bring a blanket for Shi Xing to take a nap, and the three of them went to a study to discuss matters.

When Shi Xing woke up, rubbed his eyes and found the three people, Wei Wan, Tang Mi, Fei Chu and Fu Qing were all there.

Shi Xing was slow to respond, "What happened?"

Chi Yao waved at him, and Shi Xing walked towards him. Chi Yao replied, "We are discussing the celebration ceremony."

"Ah?"

Shi Xing knew that the celebration ceremony was a ceremony held by the imperial capital for friendly diplomacy every time the alliance diplomats visited. The event was originally held because the star beasts were too rampant and the border was just established. In order to convey the cooperative relationship between the two political systems to the people and eliminate the barriers between the two political systems, it was held. After

one or two subsequent events, it was found that it was good for the economy and the people of the imperial capital also liked it, so the ceremony was continued as a tradition.

But...

Shi Xing was surprised, "We are going to drive away the Alliance diplomats, and we are still planning a ceremony?"

After asking himself this, the answer immediately came to his mind. Without waiting for anyone to answer, he slapped himself on the head and said, "Sorry, I was sleepy."

Shi Xing: "Are you making preparations for both situations? If the Alliance's attitude towards peace is sincere, and the relationship is really eased, then we can continue with the celebrations that have been prepared? If they want to break off diplomatic relations, then we can cancel it?"

Chi Yao laughed and nodded, "Yes."

Chi Yao: "Don't hit yourself, your head will turn red."

Shi Xing: "Hmm."

Fei Chu said it all, "You've been too tired these two days. Take a rest while His Majesty is awake."

Shi Xing wanted to say something, but there were too many people around, so he held it back.

It was evening. After dinner, the officials and clerks left. Chi Yao wanted to go to the study, but Shi Xing stopped him. Shi Xing whispered, "You need to rest more, Your Highness."

"Your spiritual sea is a little turbulent again. I can feel it."

Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing holding his hand, raised his head and looked at Shi Xing again. Shi Xing felt a little embarrassed, then nodded and said, "I know."

"Just go get some documents and go back to the study in the room to process them. Do you want to come together?"

Shi Xing agreed.

He didn't take many documents. At night, Shi Xing released his healing spiritual power. Although it couldn't completely eliminate the fluctuations in Chi Yao's spiritual sea, he felt more comfortable.

The study room attached to the two rooms is much smaller, but the layout is also much more comfortable. Shi Xing sits on the lazy sofa on the carpet and discusses celebration matters with Chi Yao. The topic is not completely serious, just a casual chat.

Chi Yao was dragged by Shi Xing and sank deeply into another ball-shaped lazy sofa. He looked a little tired and said suddenly, "The alliance has acted very quickly, but actually, I don't want the celebration to start so soon."

In Shi Xing's puzzled eyes, Chi Yao said frankly, "I'm still in a period of confusion. I just woke up in the past two days, and the condition will be better. There will still be some relapses later. It would be best if the celebration can start after Erya arrives."

Shi Xing almost forgot that they still had a doctor. When Chi Yao mentioned it, he asked casually, "It is said that it will arrive in a week. How many days are there?"

"Tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow."

Nodding, Shi Xing returned to the topic and worried, "Will there be relapses? It's the same even if there is a contract?"

Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing without saying a word. Shi Xing realized it belatedly because his spiritual sea was injured.

And it's not just an ordinary wound, it's a penetrating wound...

Shi Xing felt a little nervous, stood up, and hugged Chi Yao.

The weight of the two people pressed on a sofa, and the sofa slumped down.

Chi Yao was a little surprised, and then he reacted with a smile, "Suddenly acting coquettish?"

Shi Xing didn't deny it, "I want to hug you."

Chi Yao's joke got stuck in his throat, and he raised his hand to cover the back of Shi Xing's neck and accepted the hug.

After that, the two didn't speak for a long time in the hug, but Chi Yao felt that the atmosphere was quiet and warm, and it couldn't be better.

He fell asleep in the study in the afternoon. In the evening, Shi Xing returned to the room and finally saw the surprise prepared for him by the highly executive attendant.

Looking at the bigger bed in the master bedroom, Shi Xing froze, "Where is my bed?"

Chi Yao was calm, "Xu Jin said that since we sleep together, the original bed is too small, so he changed it."

He was still a little surprised, "Didn't he ask you?"

Shi Xing realized something, looked at Chi Yao, and pointed out, "So, Uncle Xu asked you, right, Your Highness?"

Chi Yao raised his eyebrows, the corners of his lips curled up, and he didn't deny it, "Yeah."

Shi Xing: "..."

So, in fact, Uncle Xu is also doing things with permission!

Chi Yao took off his accessories, didn't look at Shi Xing, and suddenly asked: "Don't you want to sleep with me?"

Shi Xing's ears were hot.

After a while, he whispered, "No."

Chi Yao's voice was full of laughter, and Shi Xing obviously heard it, "Then it's fine."

Shi Xing: "…………"

Shi Xing squatted down with his head in his hands, "Your Highness, these are two different things!"

The sound of footsteps sounded, and in a moment, he stood in front of Shi Xing.

"I know what you mean."

Chi Yao's voice was light, and it seemed particularly gentle, "Then do you think it's okay? If I think like this, will you be angry with me?"

Shi Xing was silent, and muttered after a moment, "How can I be angry with you!"

Obviously he was a rogue.

But he really couldn't get angry.

The annoying laughter rang in his ears again, and a long hand stretched out, trying to pull him up. Shi Xing didn't move, and the hand stretched out stubbornly.

Finally, Shi Xing softened, and stood up holding Chi Yao's hand.

Of course, the intention of pulling him up was just what he thought.

In fact, after being pulled up, Shi Xing was blocked by a sudden kiss.

And there were only two of them in this room.

There would only be two of them.

Their clothes were pulled apart a little, and when they separated, neither of them looked very decent.

In the tacit gaze, Chi Yao went to the bathroom first, and then changed Shi Xing.

Climbing onto the new bed in pajamas, Chi Yao's eyes swept across Shi Xing's face and found something, and said abruptly, "Your neck..."

Shi Xing touched along the line of Chi Yao's eyes, and understood, "It may be a physical problem, it doesn't hurt or itch, but it looks scary."

Chi Yao reached out to touch, Shi Xing did not dodge, and turned his head away obediently.

Chi Yao's eyes darkened, "Is there anything else on your body?"

"Yes."

Shi Xing pulled open his clothes. There were two places on his waist where he had applied too much force, below his neck, and on his chest.

When Shi Xing wanted to lift his clothes without being on guard, Chi Yao held his hand.

"That's enough, don't take off your clothes anymore."

His voice was hoarse, with some tacit understanding between adults.

Shi Xing finally realized what he had done and said in a panic, "Your Highness, I didn't mean that. If you asked, I would..."

"I know."

Chi Yao leaned over to hug Shi Xing. His

hot breath brushed across Shi Xing's earlobe, and he said bluntly, "But I meant that."

Shi Xing frowned, seriously suspecting that the Blue Star people would tire their brains out after two days of hard work.

Then his back trembled, and a few kisses fell on his neck, very lightly, spreading little by little, covering the bruises.

Chi Yao said slowly, "I was thinking of something."

"You said, after I'm through the period of confusion and have more mental strength, can I..."

Shi Xing was dumbfounded when he thought about the unfinished meaning in the words.

Chi Yao pressed his neck, looked at him abruptly, and asked him forcefully, "Can I?"

"Will you give it a try?"

Shi Xing blushed, all over.

There was no contact, but he was just being stared at, and he actually showed some reaction.

Shi Xing was too embarrassed to bear it, so he closed his eyes.

"Speak back, Xingxing."

At this moment, Chi Yao was so strong.

Shi Xing collapsed, "Let's talk after your disordered period."

Chi Yao laughed, and his laughter made Shi Xing feel helpless.

There was no other reason, the two of them understood each other tacitly -

not refusing was a disguised agreement.

At night, Chi Yao came over and hugged Shi Xing to sleep, as if Shi Xing was some kind of analgesic.

Shi Xing... Shi Xing couldn't resist,

so he had to submit. In fact, he didn't really want to resist, he just couldn't adapt.

He wasn't used to the breath beside him, the kisses that fell on his skin from time to time, and the touch, even through his pajamas.

But being uncomfortable or not being able to adapt, not being disgusted but liking it is also a real feeling.

Before going to bed, Shi Xing finally asked the question that was weighing on his heart, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I will suck all your spiritual power?"

When the emotions were excited, he had skin contact with the Blue Star people... He was not speaking nonsense.

This kind of situation is not uncommon, and with Chi Yao's understanding of the tree nest, he must know it.

Chi Yao: "If you can, I'll feed you all."

Shi Xing: "..."

Realizing that Chi Yao was determined, Shi Xing angrily hit his head on the other party and fell into a deep sleep.

Chi Yao was right. Shi Xing woke up the next day and found that his condition had relapsed.

It was not serious, but the energy in the sea of ​​​​spirituality was irregular, not to the extent of disorder, and he was not very comfortable.

All the healing spiritual power was given to Chi Yao, but the effect was inadequate.

The palace did not deal with anything in the morning, and basically revolved around Chi Yao.

Chi Yao himself was fine, but his face was pale, which was very different from usual. Anyone could find that he was not in good condition.

Xu Jin was used to it and had known that this would happen.

In fact, everyone who lived in the palace knew about it, and it seemed that only Shi Xing was unfamiliar with it.

Shi Xing was upset and stayed with Chi Yao all morning.

The Alliance diplomats came again in the morning, and Shi Xing directly refused. In the afternoon, the Alliance people learned their lesson and delivered the news first, still a general apology.

After negotiating with the Alliance, Wei Wan reported, "The Alliance diplomats want to apologize collectively and put the blame on that military officer. If the Imperial Royal Family receives an audience, Bachelor Miller will bring people to apologize in person sincerely."

This is all routine. The real reason why Wei Wan reported it is later.

Wei Wan: "The Alliance said that it offended the Empire. In order to show the sincerity of the Alliance and the Empire in establishing diplomatic relations, after discussion with the Alliance Cabinet, it is willing to discuss energy procurement first in diplomatic negotiations and postpone the issue of border garrisoning."

Chi Yao listened and slowly smiled.

"Wouldn't it be better if it was done earlier? We have to take the initiative."

Thinking of something, he sighed again, "I don't know who came up with the idea, but it's just right and can't be rejected."

The crystal stone and crystal ore energy issue has always been a big problem for the Empire. Before the diplomats came, the Empire and the Alliance had several arguments over whether to discuss energy or border issues first.

Now that the Alliance has brought it up at this time, it has grasped the Empire's mind.

Moreover, if they agreed, the Alliance would also consider the subsequent export price of crystal stones and crystal ores. If it was too cheap, they would not raise the price too much and would be more content.

The Alliance's sincerity in apologizing made Chi Yao very satisfied no matter how you looked at it.

Shi Xing also knew that although he didn't want Chi Yao to meet the Alliance diplomats in a bad state, he said nothing and followed Chi Yao's opinion.

Chi Yao: "Say we'll consider it and meet them next time they come."

The gesture was already very pretentious.

Wei Wan nodded and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Shi Xing.

Shi Xing: "Apologizing in person is not enough. Jane Miller needs to write an apology letter. We will also record today's apology and post it on the Empire Star Network together with the situation in front of the ancient imperial tomb at that time."

Seeing that Chi Yao had no objection, Shi Xing straightened his back, "Just reply to them like this. After making such a big concession, the Alliance will not change its attitude for Miller."

Chi Yao smiled. What Shi Xing said was right. He had a very stable mindset of the Alliance.

If you can't do anything to the Alliance, you can still torment Jane Miller.

The conditions were conveyed truthfully.

Jane Miller slammed the table after hearing it and refused firmly, "They are humiliating me and want to ruin my political career!"

As a bachelor of the Alliance Cabinet, once such an apology video is released, it will make the Alliance lose face. After returning, there will be no place for him in the cabinet.

Marshal Will, Admiral Li Yu, and other diplomats also know it well, but Miller has no say in this.

Later, the alliance gave feedback and agreed.

Not only agreed, but the Prime Minister personally communicated with Jane Miller and asked him to bow his head.

After hearing what the Prime Minister said, Miller's face was ashen.

In the evening meeting, except for Miller's sullen face, everything was harmonious.

Chi Yao didn't talk much, and when it came to the apology, it was completely Shi Xing's home court.

"The voice is too soft, the video effect is not good, Bachelor, please speak louder."

"What's that expression on your face, can't you smile?"

"Your officer's apology is quite sincere, but it doesn't sound like a bachelor's letter to me..." Shi Xing suddenly turned to look at Chi Yao and asked innocently, "Your Highness, since you are all bachelors, your knowledge can't be bad, right?"

Chi Yao knew that Shi Xing was holding back something bad, so he followed his words and said, "Of course not."

Shi Xing looked at the apology letter carefully for a while, and said, "There are papers and pens in the palace, and there is no shortage of desks in the study. Since this one is not well written, I will trouble you to write it down. Bachelor Miller, please write another good one. This is just a small request from the Empire. As a bachelor, you should be able to handle it easily, right? "

Miller was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, "You..."

Shi Xing

said coldly: "What about me?" Under the eyes of Will and Li Yu, as well as a group of diplomats, and the efforts to turn the tide, Miller knew that he had no way out, so he swallowed his anger and said, "Your Highness is right, I... I will write another one."

The veins on his forehead bulged as he spoke.

Shi Xing thought the picture was very good, and told Yan Changyue to put a close-up when editing.

In this way, Miller revised two versions. Seeing that he was on the verge of collapse, Shi Xing finally showed mercy and let someone read it.

After reading it, he got the affirmation of the photographer, and Shi Xing went to see the finished film with great interest.

But before he walked to the camera, he felt something fall down in front of him.

Shi Xing was stunned.

Suddenly, there was a chaos of voices.

"Doctor, find a doctor."

"Oh my, oh my, Bachelor Miller, what's wrong with you?"

"What's going on?"

Looking at the diplomats gathered in a circle, Shi Xing slowly reacted and saw that Miller had fainted.

At this, Shi Xing muttered softly, "It's what he deserves."
