He was going to the Southern Cross, a bloody battlefield like a meat grinder.
…
Xia Chujian sat alone in her dark home, without turning on the lights, and didn't want to go to the bedroom upstairs to sleep.
The household robot Beijia stayed beside her obediently, and did not try to find things to talk to her or try to please her like Liushun did.
I will not even turn on the TV to add some life to this quiet room.
But Xia Chujian didn't care.
In fact, she needs quiet more now.
Just sit here, relax your mind and think about nothing.
A lot of things have happened around her recently. Her former teammates, friends, and family have left her one by one.
When she arrives at the front line, her comrades will definitely leave her one by one.
She has to adjust her mindset.
Xia Chujian sat on the sofa all night and didn't know when she fell asleep.
…
Night, the palace.
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan did not sleep.
He stood alone on the terrace of his bedroom, looking up at the starry sky.
After watching for an unknown amount of time, the eunuch quietly walked up behind him and reported, "Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."
Emperor Tantai Hongyuan said calmly, "It's late. I won't see you."
The eunuch whispered, "The Queen said that if Your Majesty refuses, then she should tell him that she has found news about the Crown Princess she gave birth to..."
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan turned around suddenly: "What did she say?!"
Then he waved his hand and said, "Please come in, Queen!"
The eunuch walked out backwards in small steps.
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan had left the terrace and returned to the reception room in his bedroom.
This is a room decorated very elegantly and luxuriously.
The antiques displayed inside are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old.
But they were placed there casually, as if they were daily necessities just bought from Starnet Supermarket.
In fact, the tea set on the rosewood coffee table was made by a famous porcelain master five thousand years ago.
On the market, even a piece of broken porcelain is sold at a price of millions.
Because this porcelain master is the royal master.
If his works were not used by the royal family, they would be crushed into powder and scattered into the sea.
But in the emperor's place, such precious and exquisite tea sets were just placed casually on the tea table.
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan had just sat down beside the coffee table when Empress Li Fengen walked in gracefully.
"His Majesty."
She knelt down and saluted, without giving the emperor any fault to find fault with.
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan raised his hand and said, "Zi Tong, come and sit down."
Zi Tong is the emperor's nickname for the empress, a unified nickname.
All emperors could call their queen "Zi Tong" to show their love for each other.
But Queen Li Fengen felt disgusted when she heard it.
However, she didn't show it. She just sat down slowly and said, "Your Majesty, I came to ask you, are you really going to send the Fifth Interstellar Fleet to change guard tomorrow?"
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said unhappily, "Queen, didn't you say you found the whereabouts of the princess you gave birth to?"
Queen Li Fengen smiled and said, "I don't say much, and His Majesty doesn't see me."
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan's face darkened: "Queen, how dare you deceive the emperor?!"
Queen Li Feng'en didn't care and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I'm here to advise Your Majesty that there's no need to push Xia Chujian into the hot seat tomorrow."
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan sneered: "Is the Queen teaching me how to do things?"
Queen Li Fengen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how dare I teach you how to do things? I just want to advise you that the trending searches online have just subsided..."
"The group of people who stood up for Xia Chujian are still angry."
"Are you really going to do it again tomorrow, spice things up and have them 'parade' again?"
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan narrowed his eyes: "...So the Queen wasn't thinking about Xia Chujian, but about me?"
Queen Li Fengen said: "Xia Chujian is a good girl, I like her very much."
"I came to see His Majesty today, half for her and half for His Majesty."
"You should think about it more and stop targeting her..."
"You could use a scapegoat before, but you can't use it every time. After a long time, the people will know that the one targeting Xia Chujian is not someone else, but Your Majesty..."
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan said uncomfortably, "She's just a commoner. She killed my daughter, and I can't even punish her?"
Empress Li Fengen said, "Of course you can. So, stripping her of her military rank and demoting an outstanding graduate of the Empire's premier military academy to become a Space Marine is already a punishment."
"Your Majesty may not be aware that the front line on Shaofu Star is now pushing infinitely closer to the brink of war."
