Chapter 236 Proposal "Ji Xiaoxue, are you proposing to me?"...
The First Legion's confidential meeting room.
After the three-hour meeting, Ji Mingxue subconsciously pinched her eyebrows.
After most of the participants stood up and left, and the projection screens of the legion commanders were all turned off, Ji Mingxue looked at Ji Mingfeng, the commander of the First Legion beside him.
Ji Mingfeng didn't need him to ask, and took the initiative to speak, "The interrogation results are out. It was Marshal Romanov who ordered the kidnapping of Shen Qingzhu, but the person who asked him to do so was Ansel."
Ansel is the mother of the eldest prince and the emperor's lover.
Ji Mingxue frowned slightly, "She wants to threaten me with Qingzhu?"
Ji Mingfeng was silent for a moment, then he lowered his head and handed a document to Ji Mingxue, "You can take a look at this."
Ji Mingxue opened the file that had just been received in her optical brain and scanned it at a glance. The more she read, the uglier her expression became——
This is an investigative report on Ansel Keynes, focusing primarily on her youth.
Ansel is an A-level Omega and was a student at the Royal Omega Academy during his school days.
Coincidentally, Ansel is of similar age to Shen Qingzhu's two fathers, and he once enthusiastically pursued Shen Qingzhu's father A, Ether, who once studied at the Imperial University.
But Etel and Shen Qingzhu's father O Shen Xian have a deep relationship and are not moved by Ansel at all.
The information does not state whether Ansel turned from love to hate and hated Aether and Shen Xian.
But the secret lovers that Ansel had found behind the emperor's back in recent years all had more or less the shadow of Aether.
After Shen Xian and Ethel got into trouble, Ansel also forcibly took Shen Xian's patented formula for himself and used it for the pharmaceutical companies under the Keynes family.
Seeing this, Ji Mingxue's expression suddenly froze, and she pursed her lips and asked Ji Mingfeng, "Did Ansel have anything to do with the accident on the Eternity?"
Ji Mingfeng obviously had his suspicions about this. "I sent people to investigate carefully. The crash of the Eternal was indeed an accident."
Ji Mingxue hummed softly. If the tragedy was really related to Ansel, Ji Mingxue didn't know how to tell Shen Qingzhu.
But even so, Ansel is still a huge hidden danger.
Ji Mingxue glanced at the photos of Ansel's secret lovers and was actually a little suspicious. Ansel wanted to kidnap Shen Qingzhu not entirely to threaten Ji Mingxue, but also had his own selfish motives.
But Ji Mingxue didn't intend to let Shen Qingzhu know this.
Being coveted by a malicious Omega of her father's generation would definitely make Shen Qingzhu feel disgusted.
But the question now is, "Has anyone been caught yet?"
Ji Mingfeng: "Ansel is very cunning. She secretly left the Central Star two days ago. There is no trace of her on public or private navigation channels."
Ji Mingxue tapped the table lightly. "This is not something the Keynes family can do. There are other people behind her protecting her."
Ji Mingfeng: "No matter who they are, we will catch them all in one fell swoop."
Ji Mingxue had no doubts about this, but there was one thing he still didn't understand, "The eldest prince is Ansel's only child. How could she give up on him so easily?"
Ji Mingfeng: "Perhaps she wants to make preparations for both scenarios. If the eldest prince succeeds, she can pretend that nothing happened and secretly return to the Central Star."
"And if the eldest prince fails, Ansel obviously values his own life more than his child."
Ji Mingxue nodded. This was the only explanation at the moment.
Ji Mingfeng added, "There is one more thing. The day before the eldest prince started the rebellion, his attendant Arthur took a temporary leave due to illness."
"But when our people sealed off the Qiong Tower on Mount Ida, they did not find any trace of that man."
Because Arthur was always by the eldest prince's side and many of the eldest prince's affairs were entrusted to him, Ji Mingxue had some impression of this man. She only remembered that he was a tall and silent S-class Alpha.
Ji Mingxue: "Did you go to his house to check?"
Ji Mingfeng's answer surprised Ji Mingxue a little. "Arthur is an orphan of a declining noble family. It is said that he is a distant relative of Ansel. He was brought to the eldest prince by Ansel. He has no property in the imperial capital and has been living in the Qiong Tower on Mount Ida for many years."
At this point, Ji Mingfeng suddenly paused and lowered his voice, "According to other staff members of Mount Ida Qionglou, the relationship between Ansel and Arthur is also a bit subtle - someone once saw Ansel wiping the blood off Arthur's face with a distressed look on his face."
Ji Mingxue: ...
He rubbed his forehead with a headache. If he remembered correctly, Ansel was old enough to be Arthur's mother, right?
But when I think about the information about Ansel's secret lovers, there are even minors who have just differentiated into Alphas...
Too lazy to think about Ansel's mess, Ji Mingxue finally said, "Do your best to hunt down Ansel and that Arthur, as well as the forces behind them. It's best to deal with them all before I come back."
At the military meeting just now, Duke Xingyao Ji Ronghuan has officially informed everyone that Ji Mingxue will serve as the deputy general of the Third Legion and will go to the front line of Edge Star to provide battlefield support.
Ji Mingfeng obviously thought of this as well.
Ji Mingfeng had no objection to this, because he was very clear about Ji Mingxue's strength, and he also knew that this was of great significance to both Ji Mingxue and the Ji family.
But whenever he thought of Ji Mingxue and Shen Qingzhu's recent close relationship, Ji Mingfeng couldn't help but tease him, "Are you really willing to break up with Shen Qingzhu?"
In such a short time after coming back, Ji Mingxue rushed to Shen Qingzhu's lounge and did not come out until just before the meeting. She looked refreshed, which made Ji Mingfeng feel uncomfortable.
Even though he knew that the two were in a relationship and had seen Ji Mingxue behave like two completely different people when facing Shen Qingzhu more than once, Ji Mingfeng still found it magical.
Noticing the teasing in Ji Mingfeng's eyes, Ji Mingxue squinted at him, "What else? Can I let him go to the battlefield with me?"
After saying that, Ji Mingxue seemed to think about it seriously, "If you agree, I can go ask him."
Ji Mingfeng: ...
Seeing that Ji Mingxue seemed to be really considering the feasibility of this matter, Ji Mingfeng's expression became serious and he immediately said, "No need! Mr. Shen is of noble status, a national treasure-level scientific researcher, and is of great significance to the empire. You must not instigate him to go to the battlefield, otherwise my father will peel off my skin!"
Ji Mingfeng has been mature and steady since childhood, and rarely shows weakness in front of his peers. Now he is the commander of the First Legion, who holds a high position of power. He is neither humble nor overbearing even in front of his father, Duke Xingyao.
At this moment, he showed a rare bit of panic and helplessness, which made Ji Mingxue laugh.
Ji Mingfeng was obviously still worried, and continued to remind Ji Mingxue, "There is still a long time to come, you don't have to rush at this moment, not to mention that Mr. Shen has his own things to do, it is safer and more stable to stay at the Academy Star."
Ji Mingxue suppressed the corners of her lips that were raised, and then said reluctantly, "I understand."
"Remember to protect him."
Ji Mingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course."
…
When Ji Mingxue returned to Shen Qingzhu's lounge, Shen Qingzhu was cooking and reading the news on Starnet.
Half an hour ago, the imperial authorities announced that Ji Mingxue was in good health and had not been injured in the attack the day before.
In addition, the official also released the surveillance video of Ji Mingxue driving a mecha and leading his subordinates to block the alien beast in the starry sky. Now the whole star network is full of praise for Ji Mingxue, the Omega Prince.
Seeing Ji Mingxue coming back, Shen Qingzhu quickly invited him to have dinner together.
After the meal, Ji Mingxue informed Shen Qingzhu that he had received a military order and would be heading to the battlefield with the Third Legion in two days.
Even though he was mentally prepared for this, Shen Qingzhu still lost consciousness for a moment.
Ji Mingxue rubbed against his arms like a cat and tilted her head to look at him, "Can't bear to leave me?"
Shen Qingzhu responded in a low voice and tightened her arms around his waist, "How long will it take?"
Ji Mingxue blinked her eyes. "How can I say for sure? If it's as short as three to five months, or as long as ten to eight years?"
Shen Qingzhu looked at him expressionlessly.
Ji Mingxue burst out laughing, rubbed Shen Qingzhu's cheek, and said with a smile, "I kid you, it won't take that long. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is huge. It will probably take half a year to deal with it. But the edge star is too far away from here. It will probably take four months to go back and forth on one route."
"So, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to come back within a year."
Shen Qingzhu pressed his forehead against his, "We've only been together for a year."
Noticing the reluctance and disappointment in his eyes, Ji Mingxue felt very uncomfortable and could only jokingly say, "What should we do? Honey, why don't you come with me?"
Shen Qingzhu pondered.
Realizing that Shen Qingzhu was actually thinking about this, Ji Mingxue suddenly understood Ji Mingfeng's feelings before, and hurriedly stopped him, "I was joking, honey, you are not a soldier, you can't go to the battlefield."
Shen Qingzhu said, "I can accompany you as a military doctor or weapons support expert."
Ji Mingxue: ...
He rubbed Shen Qingzhu's cheeks several times, and after rubbing Shen Qingzhu's handsome face slightly red, he sighed and said, "Don't do that. Brother Feng just told me not to trick you into going to the battlefield."
After saying that, Ji Mingxue raised her eyelids and said half jokingly and half seriously, "Baby, you are a national treasure now, you can't go to such a dangerous place."
"The most important thing is!" Ji Mingxue raised a finger, "If you, my dear, go with me, I will definitely be distracted! I will always want to kiss you, hug you and lift you up high! If we make too much noise and miss military intelligence, then we will all become sinners for eternity!"
Shen Qingzhu: ...
Who would do that on a battlefield?!
Shen Qingzhu couldn't help but complain in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.
He actually knew that Ji Xiaoxue was joking with him and wanted to use this method to dilute the sadness before separation.
But Ji Xiaoxue's concerns are not completely unreasonable——
Firstly, Shen Qingzhu was not a soldier, nor a military academy student. Even if he really accompanied them as a military doctor or weapons expert, he might not be able to convince the others.
Secondly, even if he really went to the battlefield, due to his special status, the army would definitely pay special attention to his safety. Ji Mingxue would also be very busy at that time and might even have to distract herself from him.
Thirdly, Ji Mingxue went to the battlefield to establish his authority. If Shen Qingzhu, a 3S-level Alpha, also went, it is hard to guarantee that someone would not make a fuss about this matter and attribute Ji Mingxue's achievements to Shen Qingzhu.
Finally, Shen Qingzhu himself has many projects that are being established and promoted, and he cannot leave the Academy Star for a long time.
Therefore, it is impossible for Shen Qingzhu to go to the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingzhu couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
He kissed Ji Mingxue's fluffy white hair, and after a while, he finally said, "Take care of yourself."
Ji Mingxue stopped joking and looked up to touch Shen Qingzhu's lips, "You too."
They exchanged a long kiss.
After the kiss, Ji Mingxue still bit Shen Qingzhu's wet lower lip reluctantly, and said vaguely while biting, "I will be away for a long time this time."
Shen Qingzhu hummed softly.
Ji Mingxue continued, "What if there are other outstanding Omegas pursuing you during this period?"
Shen Qingzhu let out a faint laugh and pinched the tip of his ear. "I haven't mentioned that there are so many high-quality A's in the military camp."
Ji Mingxue's eyes lit up, "That's right, by then I'll be surrounded by a group of Alphas with raging hormones and eight-pack abs every day, aren't you worried?"
Shen Qingzhu curled his lips and said calmly, "Don't worry."
He kissed Ji Mingxue on the lips and said, "I will prepare enough inhibitors for you."
"Oh," Ji Mingxue nodded obediently, and then bit Shen Qingzhu's Adam's apple like a puppy, "But I'm still worried about other Omegas getting close to you, what should I do?"
After saying that, Ji Mingxue suddenly remembered, "That bastard Aidan will also stay in Lehman. Will he try to seduce you again after I leave?!"
"Although I know that you like me the most and it is impossible for you to like someone else, what if someone takes a risk and uses extraordinary means against you?"
For example, the messy medicines that the eldest prince and his ilk often use.
Originally, Ji Mingxue was just digging a hole, but as he dug, he ended up digging himself into a panic.
Shen Qingzhu could naturally see that Ji Mingxue was not really worried that he would cheat on her at first, but was just taking advantage of the situation.
As a result, this person actually became worried as he spoke.
Although he didn't know what Ji Mingxue's purpose was, Shen Qingzhu still cooperated very well and said, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Ji Mingxue was suddenly stuck and her heart began to beat wildly.
The words I had thought about for a long time were on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't open them no matter what.
Noticing the uneasiness and hesitation in his eyes, Shen Qingzhu kissed the tip of his nose soothingly and said softly, "You can tell me anything."
Ji Mingxue looked at his gentle green eyes and subconsciously rolled her Adam's apple, "I'm afraid you'll be unhappy if I tell you."
Shen Qingzhu blinked, "Tell me about it."
Ji Mingxue then took a deep breath and whispered, "I was just thinking, if we get engaged before I leave, wouldn't it make both of us feel more at ease?"
Shen Qingzhu: ...
My brain suddenly went blank for a moment and my heartbeat became unbalanced.
It was not until a long while later that Shen Qingzhu finally found his voice and asked uncertainly, "...Ji Xiaoxue, are you proposing to me?"
