There was something sharp in the former queen's eyes; his gaze was penetrating.
He said to Leah without any intention of beating around the bush: "The person the emperor feared the most and hated the most in his life was Huo Wei. He suppressed the emperor in every way, so he was so happy when Huo Wei went to prison."
The former queen smiled bitterly.
The research institute was jointly established by him and me, and I even provided the funding."
Leia stared at the former queen in a daze. There was a hint of shock in her voice as if she had never heard it before.
"But father said it was his money!"
The former queen sneered.
"Okay, I've told you the solution. If you want to listen, listen. If you don't want to listen, just pretend you never came here."
"Otherwise, if the emperor finds out, you're doomed."
Leah also knows the stakes.
So he nodded repeatedly and swore that he would never tell anyone else, let alone let anyone else know.
Leia hurried away and headed straight to the emperor's room.
The emperor was still furious, and the attendants and palace maids were not allowed to enter.
Leah stood at the door, hesitant, and asked the attendant, "How is your Majesty today?"
The attendant, Kulia, was in great pain, with her hand wrapped in gauze. She said timidly, "Your Highness should go and see for yourself. His Majesty has driven us all out."
Leia's heart trembled. She pushed the door open and walked inside, only to be met with a loud shout.
"Liya, you still remember to come? Do you want to do the same as Qiao Lusi?"
Leia's heart tightened. After she finished her work, she went over and hugged the emperor with a fake affection, whispering, "My father loves me, how could I be like someone like Qiao Lusi? Besides, I think he should have starved to death on another planet long ago!"
"He can't do anything!"
Leia's words greatly pleased the emperor. His expression eased slightly and he snorted coldly at Leia.
Leah pursed her lips.
"Father, we shouldn't just sit there and wait for death. I think Qiao Lu's disappearance can give us a reason."
The emperor's eyes narrowed, and he spoke to Leah in a subtle tone, saying in a deep voice, "Tell me, what are your ideas?"
With a somewhat calm look in his eyes, he looked at Leah and whispered to her, "Father, we can say that Qiao Lus was sacrificed. He was originally going to rescue his brother, but he unexpectedly encountered an insect swarm attack on the way, and Howie's army had not yet arrived."
"So Joe Lus was killed."
Liya raised her head and looked at the emperor, saying to him very quickly, "Marshal Huo Wei turned a blind eye to this and deliberately concealed this matter."
Anyway, Qiao Lu Si can't be found now, so he must not dare to show up. This is just our opportunity."
With a serious look in her eyes, Leah looked at the emperor and said softly, "Father, if this doesn't work, then we can think of other ways, such as tricking Huo Wei and the others to come to the Imperial Star."
"Divide them. I think if we truly obtain Mr. Li Shu's ability, all the star beasts will obey our command, right?"
The emperor had a cold face and spoke to Leia with some dissatisfaction.
"That's easy for you to think of, but where can we win over Li Shu now? What could he like? Didn't Qiao Lusi already offend him thoroughly before?"
The emperor knew that if it weren't for Li Shu, Qiao Lu would not have been abandoned by him.
After all, Qiao Lu was very popular among the people and was the most obedient person.
He whispered to Qiao Lu: "Father, although our royal family has offended Li Shu, what if we apologize? We can also put the blame on Qiao Lu and say that the matter of this research institute has nothing to do with us."
"We didn't know it, but it was Qiao Lusi who was dedicated to closing the gap between ordinary people and star beasts. He wanted the empire to be strong again, so that when the insect swarm came, we wouldn't have to panic so much and could reduce losses. However, Qiao Lusi's experimental process was too cruel, so the royal family rejected it."
"Later, Qiao Lu used his royal status to establish a research institute. We were unaware of this."
Leah's every word was about Qiao Lu, trying to squeeze out the last of Qiao Lu's surplus value.
Leia's method seemed to be very effective, and the emperor immediately promised to make Leia the heir to the royal family.
But Leia looked up at the Emperor.
"Then, Father, can I leave now? You've been overworked and should rest well."
The emperor seemed very pleased. He looked towards Leah and said softly, "Okay, okay, go down quickly!"
Soon the royal family issued an obituary announcing Qiao Lu's death. At the meeting, everyone burst into tears, as if they had a very deep affection for Qiao Lu.
Li Shu raised his eyes slightly and looked at the notice on the news. Leia, the emperor, the little queen, and even the former deposed queen were all present.
Several of them were heavily made up and looked pitiful in front of the camera, as if they were grieving over the loss of their sons.
"Joelus is dead? Would someone like him, who fears death the most, sacrifice himself?"
Li Shu just felt a hundred percent unconvinced, after all, he knew Qiao Lus too well.
It is impossible for Qiao Lu to sacrifice himself to resist the insect tide. This is simply a fantasy. What does the emperor want to do?
Li Shu was a little confused and looked at Huo Wei.
"Hovey, is Qiao Lusi really dead? Why don't I believe it?"
Huo Wei's face was gloomy. He gently held Li Shu's hand and couldn't help but said to Li Shu: "Let's take a look. They can't just do this to issue an obituary."
Sure enough, Howie's prediction was correct.
At the memorial service, they pushed all the blame onto Qiao Lu Si, and even pretended that it was to resist the insect swarm, so that ordinary people could also have the ability to serve the motherland!
But because the experimental process was too cruel, the royal family rejected Qiao Lu's proposal.
But they also didn't expect that Qiao Lu would secretly establish a research institute and mobilize star beasts and ordinary people.
Jolus did all this alone.
The royal family is innocent and has done nothing wrong.
They know nothing.
Li Shu sneered.
"I was wondering what they were going to do. Turns out they were looking for a scapegoat. Could it be that Jolus was really killed by them?"
Could the royal family really be so cruel as to exploit even their own sons?
Huo Wei and Li Shu looked at each other, and Li Shu always felt something uneasy in his heart.
"Hovey, I'm a little worried about Joe Luce... Is he really dead?"
Qiao Lu Si is a vindictive person. If he were still alive, he would definitely come to settle the score with me.
There will definitely be a lot of trouble by then.
Huo Wei gently patted Li Shu's shoulder, curled his lips and said to Li Shu, "Don't worry, Qiao Lu has been declared dead. Even if he can survive, he doesn't have the power he had before. He won't come looking for you."
