Chapter 499 (4,000 words) The Imperial Princess and the Rebel Leader 12
Why let Jessica go?
Cha Jiu has his own considerations.
"Why would I dirty my hands by killing such a person? The honor of the Wilbermer family will naturally push her to the gallows."
Lance heard her speak slowly.
"The most important thing about commanding an army is to win the hearts and minds of your subordinates. Today, Jessica lost the duel, but she was greedy and afraid of death, and refused to accept the punishment. This is enough to bring shame to the entire Wilbermer family."
"If Duke Wilbermore doesn't want his soldiers to question his character, and doesn't want his family to lose face in the entire universe, guess what he will do."
Lance followed her thoughts and gradually understood Jessica's final fate: "The Duke will order the execution of his daughter."
Cha Jiu sat on the gorgeous and soft sofa.
"Tsk tsk, dying at the hands of her beloved father, Jessica must have had a wonderful expression on her face." She smiled and held her chin with her hand, her fingertips dancing happily and lightly on her snow-white, powdery cheeks, as if she was looking forward to such a scene very much.
At this moment her face was as beautiful as an angel.
But the thoughts in my mind and the words I spoke sounded like the whispers of Satan.
Calculate people's hearts to the extreme.
Playing with your life in the palm of your hand.
It was at this moment that Lance realized that Cha Jiu was not the empire's pampered rose.
She is a poppy, dangerous and charming.
He gradually fell into depravity and was deeply trapped in it, but he still didn't realize it.
"Your Highness is really smart." Lance praised sincerely, with unconscious eagerness and admiration in his eyes.
Cha Jiu glanced at him.
Suddenly she hooked her finger at him and said, "Come here."
Lance came over obediently.
"Come closer." Cha Jiu seemed dissatisfied that he always kept two steps away from her.
Lance hesitated for a moment, but still took two steps forward.
He didn't dare get too close to Cha Jiu.
This often troubled him because he could not keep his breathing and heartbeat steady next to her.
When Lance walked up to him, Cha Jiu extended his hand to him.
The latter was stunned for a moment, then obediently knelt on one knee, nodded, and prepared to kiss the back of her hand.
The system held its forehead and sighed deeply: "It's useless."
This son of fortune looked like he was going to kill someone when he was first asked to kneel down.
How long has it been now?
He knelt down willingly before Chacha even opened her mouth!
"What are you thinking about?" Cha Jiu turned her hand and brushed away his face, pointing at the badge on his chest, "I want this."
Lance was a little embarrassed.
With a slightly blushing face, he took off the badge that symbolized his status as the captain of the guard and placed it in her hand.
"I am smart, but not merciful." Cha Jiu said calmly, "So don't try to betray me, or I will kill you and leave your body in the stars without a trace of ashes."
Having said that, she lowered her eyes, her gaze fell on the badge, and her mental power surged.
In less than two seconds, the badge began to self-decompose from the edges, instantly turning into molecules invisible to the naked eye and disappearing without a trace.
The blush of embarrassment on Lance's face suddenly disappeared, leaving only paleness.
Yet he was not afraid.
But sadness.
"Okay, go get the things that Allen sent over." Cha Jiu ordered.
Lance, absentminded, stood up and did as he was told.
Cha Jiu ignored the gifts and only took the amber necklace in her hand to examine it carefully.
In the original body's memory, in the last conversation between her and the empress, she repeatedly mentioned this necklace and hinted that the original body should keep it well.
Cha Jiu wondered if there was some secret hidden here.
But before she could figure out what was going on, some abnormalities appeared in her body.
First, her cheeks began to feel hot, and the blood in her veins began to boil and flow to her limbs.
Then my skin felt like ants were crawling all over my body, and it was itchy and unbearable...
"System..." Cha Jiu's body suddenly tensed up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Check my blood to see if I've been poisoned by aphrodisiacs or something like that."
After checking the system, it is true.
"The medicine was applied to the necklace. It will take effect once it touches the skin." It scratched its head. "The toxicity of the medicine is too low. It didn't trigger my automatic detection alarm. Give me a warning, Cha Cha."
Cha Jiu: “…Useless stuff.”
System: "Woo woo, since you are alone in a room now, why don't you just let Lance obey you..."
"Now is not the best time to take action against Lance..."
Before Cha Jiu could finish the sentence, a soft moan escaped from between his lips and teeth.
Oh no.
The body gradually became out of control.
She watched herself pounce towards Lance.
Lance, who was still immersed in his emotions, thought he had heard it wrong, but when he turned around, he was met with a pair of dazed eyes full of mist and a passionate kiss.
He was stunned at first.
Then, when he touched the unusual skin temperature of the person in his arms, he understood instantly.
Cha Jiu was drugged!
"Your Highness..." He was about to speak, but was interrupted.
"Don't make noise." Cha Jiu murmured, then pushed him down on the sofa and unzipped her dress.
But the more anxious she was, the harder it was to undo the zipper.
Finally it got stuck.
She sat on Lance's hard thighs, her red and hot face pressed against his neck, almost gritting her teeth at the disobedient zipper.
"Carlos, unbutton my clothes," she ordered.
It's called an order, but it doesn't have any intimidating power at all.
Cha Jiu had no idea how soft and aggrieved her voice sounded at this moment, and her voice was trembling with tears.
That sounds very pitiful.
It's also extremely lustful.
Lance took great effort to control the last string of rationality in his head from breaking.
His hands were resting on Cha Jiu's back, veins bulging, but he didn't dare touch her.
His whole body was tensed to the extreme, and he gritted his teeth to suppress the urge to knock the delicate girl down.
"Your Highness, you have been drugged. I will go get a doctor."
Lance almost squeezed the words out through his teeth.
"No doctor, don't you understand what I'm saying? Undress me." Cha Jiu originally wanted to order him fiercely.
As a result, the sound became louder and the trembling cry came out directly from the throat.
The tears that had accumulated at the corners of his eyes slid down his face as he opened his eyes wide.
The tiger turns into a rabbit.
Still a rabbit looking aggrieved and crying.
Cha Jiu: “…”
Damn it, my reputation is completely ruined.
Lance: “…”
Your Highness is so cute.
Cha Jiu was so angry and humiliated, and tortured by the effects of the drugs, that he finally lost all his patience.
She wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and stared at him with a gloomy face: "You don't want to be my lover"
Lance didn't know how to answer her question.
He admitted that during their previous interaction, he had had the thought several times of disregarding everything and getting close to her.
However, there are too many complicated things between them.
Deception, conspiracy, opposing positions...
The other party doesn't even know his true identity...
"Okay, I understand."
Lance, who was still struggling, suddenly heard Cha Jiu's cold response.
Then the other person leaves him.
He looked up blankly.
Cha Jiu's body was still limp and weak. He had to hold on to the sofa back to stand, and his legs were shaking.
But she had tried her best to control herself from getting closer to Lance and stood as far away from him as possible.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Lance looked carefully and found that it was Cha Jiu who bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to regain consciousness.
He couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
Cha Jiu's hazy pupils regained some clarity.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and said self-deprecatingly, "I thought you didn't reject my kiss on the day we drank, and you tried your best to get my mother's relics back for me during the duel... These more or less prove that you are willing to stay by my side as a lover."
"It turns out that I was just being sentimental."
No, you're not being sentimental.
But this feeling is mixed with my meanness and calculation, and I cannot speak it out openly.
Lance felt bitter in his mouth, clenched his fists on his knees, and lowered his head in silence.
"Carlos, you're just my male pet. I don't need you."
Cha Jiu bit herself again, took two steps to open the sensor door, and looked back at him coldly: "Get lost, and don't enter my room without my permission from now on."
Just an hour ago, Cha Jiu gave Lan special privileges, allowing him to record genetic information into his room and enter and exit freely.
Unexpectedly, this privilege was taken back before half a day had passed.
Lance's heart was like magma flowing into a glacier, and after the intense boiling, only silence and coldness remained.
He walked towards the door with heavy steps and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go get the doctor."
"No need." Cha Jiu refused mercilessly, "From now on, just do your job as the chief guard and protect my safety."
The frozen heart was hit hard again and shattered into pieces.
Lance said nothing and continued walking away.
At the moment the sensor door closed, he heard Cha Jiu inside answer the maid's call and said, "Where is the thief who broke into the starship? Bring him to my room immediately."
…
Lance kept lingering outside Cha Jiu's door and didn't leave.
He asked the doctor for a dose of the aphrodisiac and gave it to the young pirate Anthony when he came.
"Give the medicine to His Highness." He pursed his thin lips and said coldly.
Anthony didn't know why, but he took the medicine and went in anyway.
Two minutes later, the sensor door of the room opened again.
Lance looked up suddenly, hope in his eyes.
But the person who came out was Anthony.
Anthony returned the medicine to him with an apologetic look, and said, "Your Highness said he doesn't need the medicine, and..."
He found it difficult to speak the next words.
Lance's eyes were gradually covered with a layer of frost.
All I heard was Anthony hesitating, "Your Highness asked me to tell you not to stay here and get out of here..."
Lance: “…”
The ice and frost shattered into pieces, dripping down and extinguishing the remaining fire and hope.
Lance said nothing, turned around and left, his tall back actually bent slightly with a look of aggrieved.
actually.
Before Anthony arrived, Cha Jiu had already used the antidote found by the system to eliminate the effects of the aphrodisiac.
However, in the eyes of Lance, who was unaware of the situation, her rejection of his medicine meant that she was going to find a male pet to solve the problem in the most primitive way.
He then left sadly.
Cha Jiu didn't know how he felt.
But even if I knew, I wouldn't pay any attention to him.
Seeing Anthony come back in, Cha Jiu asked straight to the point: "Last time I talked to you, you said you could upgrade mechas and also know some mechanical techniques."
She had just worn off the effects of the love potion, and the blush on her face had not yet completely faded.
At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa, with her long legs crossed, drinking water lazily from the crystal glass in one hand. She was beautiful without being coquettish, gorgeous without being vulgar, just like the most gorgeous rose in the empire slowly blooming, so beautiful.
Anthony only glanced at her, then blushed and lowered his head: "Yes, Your Highness."
Cha Jiu nodded and handed him the amber necklace: "Take a look at the necklace and see if there is any mechanism inside it."
Anthony took it with his head lowered and examined it carefully.
After a while, he said, "This necklace should be the key to a certain institution. However, it must be used in conjunction with the genetic information of a specific person. The two together can open that institution."
The imperial concubine indeed hid a secret.
Cha Jiu was not surprised by this result.
She then asked: "You can tell at a glance that the necklace is a key. Does that mean that other engineers are the same?"
If this is the case, it is necessary to worry about whether other people who have come into contact with this necklace have already discovered the clues.
Anthony shook his head, and a hint of confidence finally appeared on his timid face.
"The mechanism of this key is so ingeniously crafted and secretive that even a top engineer might not be able to discover it."
He said: "But my teacher is the engineer who made this key, so I can see it at a glance."
"Who is your teacher?" Cha Jiu asked curiously.
"The descendant of ancient mechanical arts, the most powerful engineer in the entire universe, Mr. Lu." Anthony raised his chin proudly.
Cha Jiu searched his original body's memory and found some impression of this Mr. Lu.
The legendary mechanic of Blue Star.
After the fall of Blue Star, the imperial family and the military extended olive branches to him, hoping to use generous rewards to make him work for them.
However, this master of the organization with a weird temper and eccentric personality rejected all invitations, hid in an unknown deserted planet, quietly studied his own organization, and lived a poor life.
Anthony thought he couldn't survive if he followed him, so he became a pirate.
However, how did such a person who disappeared without a trace have any connection with the imperial concubine and even made this key necklace for her?
The fog thickened.
Anthony couldn't answer this question either.
"I lost contact with my teacher ten years ago, and I don't know where he is now," Anthony said. "But I can see that he put a lot of effort into making this key, using almost the most advanced mechanical technology, as well as unimaginable time and effort."
Cha Jiu seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, she put the necklace cleaned of the love drug back on her neck and thanked him politely: "Thank you for your answer, Miss Anthony."
"Your Highness is too polite... Hmm!"
Anthony was still shying away at first, but after hearing Qingchajiu's address, his body froze, and he suddenly raised his head to look at her, stammering: "You, you..."
Look, I'm a girl!
The system shook its fat waist left and right, and said proudly: "Of course it's because Cha Cha has my super powerful detector!"
It completely forgot that it was criticized by its host for being useless just ten minutes ago.
Cha Jiu patted its head, then looked at the nervous Anthony: "Since you are a pirate, it is normal for you to dress as a man."
"I'm just curious." She looked interested, "How did you change your biological characteristics to become completely male?"
