Chapter 20 Escape
Keller Star of the Mingao Empire
Pooler City
Weiyang Palace
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. News has just arrived from the underground base in the north. The Second Prince has escaped from the base..."
A palace maid in a plain long dress walked hurriedly, speaking in an urgent but carefully lowered voice, reporting the situation to the young woman who was dressing up. The woman who was dressing up was none other than the current queen of the Mingao Empire - Huating Mowgli.
The current queen, Hua Ting Mowgli, was born into the Mowgli family, one of the ten great old clans. She came from a distinguished background and, at only thirty-nine years old, had already given birth to the sixth prince. She sat firmly on the throne of queen and was greatly favored by His Majesty.
The current Emperor of the Mingao Empire is over 150 years old and is a middle-aged man. Because he was seriously injured in the battle against the Zerg in his early years, his body is not very strong.
His Majesty does not have many children. Before the birth of the Sixth Prince, there were only three princes and two princesses in the palace. Except for the Fifth Princess, all of them had reached adulthood.
Before the current queen entered the palace, no children had been born in the palace for many years. Therefore, this queen was able to successfully give birth to the sixth prince only three years after entering the palace, and thus won the emperor's favor. It can be seen that she is extraordinary.
“Pah…”
After hearing the palace maid's report, the comb in the woman's hand suddenly slipped and fell on the luxurious dressing table.
After a while, the woman picked up the comb again and continued to comb her long hair as if nothing had happened.
"Wasn't the Second Prince killed long ago? From what you're saying, is he still alive?"
The woman's voice was calm. Through the mirror on the dressing table, one could see that she had long dark blue hair, deep and beautiful facial features, and quite charming and elegant. However, her sky-blue eyes were now gleaming with a sharp light, and her brows were furrowed, obviously she was extremely unhappy.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The head of the family lied to you last time and secretly sent the Second Prince to the family's base in the north to be used as a drug test subject for genetic experiments.
The head of the family just came with a message that yesterday the second prince suddenly used his innate power to injure the guards, robbed a fighter plane and escaped.
The head of the family said he had sent people to hunt him down, but they couldn't find the second prince. Seeing the queen's increasingly unpleasant expression, the maid lowered her head even more and spoke more cautiously.
She was the queen's personal guard, having served her since childhood. Her master usually appeared to be very kind and considerate, but in reality, if someone offended her or infringed upon her interests, they would likely die without knowing how.
From childhood to adulthood, she had no idea how many people she had to deal with behind her back who competed with her for profit, such as her master's cousin who was supposed to enter the palace as queen, and the Second Prince who was now blocking her way.
The master's methods were very clever, and he could kill people without shedding blood, so she had no choice but to obey his orders.
"You're useless. You're more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. How dare you disobey my orders? You're pretending to be rewarded but you're secretly disobeying me." Hua Ting Mowgli put the comb in his hand heavily on the dressing table and cursed in a cold voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but now is not the time to hold the head of the family accountable. The Second Prince must not return to the imperial capital alive." The palace maid persuaded carefully.
"You're right. Send our people to assist the family. Make sure to find the Second Prince and kill him on the spot. Also, tell the head of the family that the base in the north cannot be left. If there is any mistake again, he will give the position of head of the family to the second uncle."
"Yes, I'll do it immediately. Your Highness, don't worry too much. The Second Prince has been suffering from a genetic disease for a long time. If he were to forcefully use his innate power now, he would easily die suddenly. Even if he survived, he would be seriously injured."
"Okay, I understand. Do it as soon as possible. I want to know the news first."
"Yes. I'll take my leave."

An undeveloped natural star in the Muyun Galaxy
The morning light was dim and the air was fresh. Mu Jiao opened the door of the garbage truck and got out. She stretched her body and took a deep breath.
Another beautiful day.
Mengmeng was still lying in bed, so Mujiao was in charge of preparing breakfast. It had been four days since Sandy and Luke left. Mujiao cleaned the car they had stayed in, changed the sheets and bedding, and made Mengmeng their home in the car.
The driver's compartment of the garbage truck is fifty square meters and has a bathroom and a bedroom. When Mu Jiao was cleaning, she discovered that there was also a small kitchen hidden under the rectangular table.
Above the table are two flat energy furnaces integrated with the table, and the cabinet below is filled with pots, pans, and utensils. This is a pleasant surprise for Mu Jiao.
Mu Jiao has been running around with Meng Meng these days. This planet has a suitable climate and rich species. Mu Jiao has also obtained a lot of precious Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.
The day before yesterday, she and Mengmeng discovered a lot of wild rice, which was already ripe. Mu Jiao planned to harvest it today. She thought that after drying it for a few days, she would be able to eat delicious rice.
For breakfast, Mu Jiao cooked a simple medicinal meal with white fungus, lily, red dates and pears, which successfully awakened Meng Meng, the foodie with a super flexible nose.
Looking at the little fellow with bulging cheeks, who was not afraid of being scalded at all and buried his head in the bowl while eating, Mu Jiao thought that apart from eating, nothing could wake up his sleeping soul.
