The middle-aged man's voice turned resolute: "Secondly, if the master wants us to die, I don't want to be slaughtered like a pig by her!"
"I must leave something behind to let her know that one day, someone will give her a taste of pain!"
The remaining seven people were silent.
After a while, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as we go to Guiyuan Star, we should be able to survive..."
"I heard that the four great noble families on Guiyuan Star are currently dividing their spheres of influence."
"Wasn't Guiyuan Star once owned exclusively by the royal family? Nobles were not allowed to live there."
"You also said that was in the past... Now things have changed. His Majesty the Emperor is in a coma, and the four nobles have come to Guiyuan Star. Everything is different."
"Of course it's different. The Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom and the Ximaneli Federation have both been destroyed!"
…
Xia Chujian came to school in the school's aircraft, holding this button-sized data storage device.
"Squad leader!"
Several classmates were gathered in the classroom talking. When they saw her come in, Chen Yanjun greeted her first.
Xia Chujian walked over and said, "What are you doing? Why aren't you going to class?"
She has earned all the credits and no longer needs to attend classes or take exams.
She comes here every day to participate in practical training.
Chen Yanjun and his classmates did not progress as quickly as Xia Chujian. After school started, they still focused their main energy on their studies.
Seeing Xia Chujian asking, Chen Yanjun said, "Class monitor, we were just talking about how the security in the capital is getting worse and worse after only half a month of school."
Jiang Sheng also said: "I am not from Beichen Star, but I have longed for Beichen Star since I was a child."
"I've seen a lot of news about Beichen Star on the Star Network before, saying things like, 'Do not lock your doors at night, don't pick up things on the road,' and that all criminals will be apprehended within 24 hours, and so on..."
"But school has only been open for half a month, and the entire imperial capital has been wiped out five times, and today a high-ranking government official was murdered!"
Song Baotai whispered, "And it is said that there is no clue at all. The Imperial Capital's Disciplinary Office is unable to solve the case, and the Crown Princess has ordered it to be handed over to the Royal Guards for investigation."
Xia Chujian was surprised: "If the Correctional Service can't solve the case, shouldn't it be handed over to the Special Security Bureau?"
"Why should it be handed over to the Royal Guards?"
Chen Yanjun shrugged. "Who knows? I heard from my parents that the Crown Princess's relationship with the Queen hasn't been good lately. Maybe they're also vying for power."
Xia Chujian didn't understand the intrigues among these royal family members.
For her, anyone who stands in her way will be shot to death.
Unless there is some unavoidable reason and you can't kill him immediately, then save it for later.
She asked curiously, "The Crown Princess is the Queen's daughter. If she becomes the Queen, why would the Queen fight for power with her?"
Jiang Sheng said: "But the Queen can also attend court and listen to government affairs!"
Chen Yanjun's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.
Later, when Xia Chujian returned to the classroom for a break, he whispered to her alone, "I heard from my parents that the situation where the Queen and the Crown Princess are fighting is actually what the Cabinet, the Senate, and the military want to see."
"They don't want a crown princess who is too powerful and hope someone can share her power."
Xia Chujian curled her lips and said, "Back then... when the emperor was still awake, why didn't they find someone to share his power?"
"In the final analysis, you still look down on women being emperors, right?"
Although she had many complaints about the Crown Princess Tan Tai Jing, she also disagreed with the actions of the cabinet, the Senate and the military.
Chen Yanjun chuckled: "That might be the reason, but the most important reason..."
He looked around and lowered his voice even more: "The Crown Princess hasn't shown the ability to hold the imperial power alone..."
Xia Chujian asked, "What kind of ability is needed to hold the imperial power alone?"
Chen Yanjun said, "Shouldn't we organize everyone immediately to fight against the Zerg army over there?"
"But look at what the Crown Princess is doing now. Which one of them is related to fighting against the Zerg army?"
Xia Chujian felt something in her heart and thought that it made sense.
After the news of the emperor's impending death spread, the first thing the princess did was to organize an attack on the royal sanatorium and then personally bring the queen out...
So, since it was the Crown Princess's own idea to bring the Queen out, why should the Queen fight for power with the Crown Princess?
This doesn’t make sense!
Xia Chujian vaguely felt that there was some key point here that no one knew about.
But after thinking about it for a while, she let it go.
No matter what the Crown Princess was planning, nothing could change her determination.
Xia Chujian subconsciously wrote a sentence on the virtual display screen in front of him.
"My heart is not made of stone; it cannot be turned."
Chen Yanjun happened to turn his head and saw it. He covered his mouth in surprise and said with a smile: "Is the squad leader secretly in love?"
Xia Chujian: “…”
She glanced at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Dating is not only a waste of time, but also life-threatening. I won't do such a stupid thing."
Chen Yanjun pointed at the words on her virtual display and said, "Still don't admit it?"
“It’s all written there!”
Xia Chujian was puzzled: "...What does this have to do with love?"
Chen Yanjun said: "The meaning of the line 'My heart is not made of stone, it cannot be turned' is what is said in ancient books: My heart remains the same as it has always been and cannot be changed by external things. It expresses the unwavering loyalty to love."
Xia Chujian snorted, "To me, it means exactly what it says."
"That is, once I decide on something, nothing outside can change it."
