The emperor pondered for a few seconds, "Even so, we can't be sure that the masked orc you mentioned is Hu Jue."
Hu Yan nodded. "That's true. So I sent someone to investigate what happened back then. I discovered that it was actually Hu Jue who orchestrated it all. His goal was to make everyone think he would never wake up again. He was only around twenty years old that year. How could he come up with such a comprehensive plan without anyone's cooperation? Do you think that's possible?"
"Also, the people I sent to track the small starship he was piloting reported back that he had abandoned his warship near the underground city and disappeared. My people searched the underground city thoroughly but couldn't find him. The person who should have been lying in the treatment cabin was gone, but someone with the same figure, movements, and even the same scar placement appeared. This is a matter concerning the entire Federation, and I can't help but be suspicious."
"I heard you issued a general amnesty on your sixtieth birthday because you weren't in good health, so I asked Zelda to hire a healer. I'm guessing he has quite a few of his people in the palace. Otherwise, how could he have kept it a secret for so many years and gotten such a clear understanding of the palace's situation? He even managed to get his hands on confidential military maps?"
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted Hu Yan's shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction with Hu Yan, and said earnestly: "You are thoughtful. If it weren't for you, I might not have known that I was poisoned."
As the emperor said this, a sharp flash flashed in his eyes, "I know about this matter. I will order people to clean it up when I return to the palace."
Hu Yan heard this and said, "My advice is, don't make any big moves and alert the enemy."
Then he whispered a few words to the emperor.
The emperor nodded. "Your words make sense. I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure you investigate whether he was responsible, his relationship with the Zerg, and the people behind him. Also, you should pay attention to the Zerg. They've been a bit overactive in recent years."
Hu Yan stood up and respectfully performed a royal salute, then said, "Your Highness knows. I will take you back first."
Queen Leia had just been listening to them obediently, but when she heard they were going back, she immediately refused to do so. "No, I'm not going back. I've finally come out."
Hu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then where do you want to go? I'll have someone accompany you to go with the Emperor."
Queen Leia smiled gracefully and said, "I haven't been to your private residence yet. I'll go and have a seat with you."
Her little calculation was too obvious, and Hu Yan couldn't pretend. He said helplessly, "Mother, she is timid. If you and father go there rashly, it will scare her. Next time she is ready, I will bring her to see you."
Queen Leia said confidently, "Why don't you just not tell her who we are? I'll go and take a look. You said you're so old, and I was worried you wouldn't be interested in females. I didn't expect you to find one without telling her. I'm so happy."
The emperor pulled Queen Leia and said, "Alright, Yan'er is right. If we go directly like this, what if we scare her? Let's go back and wait. He will bring it to you eventually."
As the emperor spoke, he secretly sent a message to Queen Leia: "If you tell Yan'er directly like this, he will definitely not agree. If you really want to see it, we can go and see it secretly. And Yan'er is right, we should always give people some time to prepare. Not all females are brave. If Yan'er scares her away, where can you find a female to compensate her? Besides, she has just been rescued, and now she probably only wants to be with Yan'er. If we go now, won't we disturb their world of two people?"
Queen Leia heard this and immediately felt that it made sense. She stopped insisting on going and said quickly, "Go back quickly. She has just been rescued and must need you very much. Go back quickly and don't keep her waiting for too long."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yan glanced at the emperor, who nodded at him.
Hu Yan then said, "I'll take my leave then."
At this time, Baizhi and the others were eating. Baizhi had not eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, so as soon as she came back, she couldn't help but prepare a table full of food.
When Hu Yan came back, they had already finished eating.
Yue Junxiao took out the Heart Bug and the Illusion Bug and placed them on the table, telling them that they were still asleep. He shook the bottle again, put it back on the table, and stared at the two of them.
Yue Junxiao straightened up, raised his chin towards the two of them, and asked, "What should we do with them?"
The mind-obsessed worm had been tormented several times and had gained experience, so it immediately shrank there, not daring to move.
The phantom insect was caught off guard by being shaken like this, and a surge of anger was ignited in its heart. When it opened its eyes, it saw one of the people who had caught it before standing opposite it. It was frightened and shivered. As a result, it turned around and saw the curled-up Heart Worm trapped in a bottle. It immediately realized that when the Heart Worm asked it where it was, it must have been caught.
The phantom bug had no place to vent his anger, so he could only curse and say, "Useless bug!"
The Heartworm had originally looked eager when he saw the Illusion Bug, but when he was suddenly scolded, his face immediately fell like a bug. "You are useful, so why did you get caught?"
The phantom insect was choked for a moment, and its face became extremely brilliant for a moment.
Yue Junxiao listened to the low noise and turned to ask the others, "Are they communicating? The sound is really harsh."
Langqiu stared at it for a few seconds, then answered seriously, "It sounds like it."
Hu Yan came back and saw them all surrounding the two bugs. "What are you talking about?"
Hearing the voice, Bai Zhi turned around to see Hu Yan and said, "Are you done? They are talking about what these two Zerg are talking about."
Hu Yan nodded, "Yes, I will return to the border later."
