Chapter 71 Fainting
...The starship flew into the vast universe in the blink of an eye. Xikai Epezhen withdrew his gaze and looked at his sister, who was being pulled aside by the servants with a distraught look on her face, and said: "Amu, you should give up..."
"Brother, why? Brother Huo Qi, do you only care about that woman?"
Ximu Epei asked softly. She and Brother Huo Qi had known each other for so many years. He was such a gentle, elegant, warm and noble man. She had secretly liked him since she was a child.
But he had been a child of genius, a child of extraordinary talent. As an adult, he led the army in battle against the Federation, achieving remarkable feats and earning the admiration of the masses. Meanwhile, she, frail and sickly since childhood, remained unknown. Knowing she was unworthy of him, she kept her love hidden deep in her heart, never daring to express it.
But later, he contracted genetic collapse syndrome due to the war. While she wept for him, she also felt secretly happy because his illness finally gave her a chance to be worthy of him! So, despite her brother's objections, she went to the palace to ask the emperor to let her marry Brother Huo Qi. Many people who knew about this thought she was crazy, but no one knew how excited she was inside. This was the only time she felt that they were actually so close. However, the result was that he rejected her.
Before coming to Chengtong Star, she had always believed that Brother Huo Qi's refusal to marry her was simply because he didn't want to burden her after he became ill. As for the woman she had never met, she thought she was just a shield for Brother Huo Qi. Although she felt uncomfortable and uneasy, she didn't really take that woman seriously.
But after that woman disappeared, she came here these days and realized that her previous thoughts were completely wrong.
Brother Huo Qi was clearly obsessed with that woman. She was no longer the gentle, polite, indifferent and noble person he knew before. For that woman, he could stay up all night, be so ruthless, and disregard his own safety...
"Amu, you actually don't understand His Highness. He was never the brother Huo Qi you knew when you were little. You should understand that he is of the royal bloodline of the Ming'ao Empire, and half of the blood of the imperial concubine flows in his body. You should know what your brother means..."
My sister hasn't seen the Second Prince for eight years. In her memory, she probably always thought that the Prince was the gentle brother Huo Qi, but in fact, she didn't know the Prince's "true face".
It's funny to say, I only learned some things after His Highness fell ill and he gradually became too lazy to pretend. His Wen Xu was never just a mask, his bones were cold after all...
Xikai E Peizhen wanted to say something else, but after looking at her sister's pale face, she finally pursed her lips.
"Brother..." When Ximu Epei heard her brother talking about the imperial concubine, her face became even paler.
She knew something about the Second Prince's biological mother. It was said that she was madly in love with His Majesty, but was unable to get his love and eventually committed suicide.
What does "brother" mean? Does it mean that Brother Huo Qi has fallen deeply in love with that woman? No, she can't accept it. She finally got so close to him...
Ximu E Peizhen's face turned pale, her consciousness blurred, and she finally fainted uncontrollably...
"Amu~" Xikai Epei hurriedly hugged his sister, releasing a white light from his palms to envelop her...
Looking at his sister's pale face, Xikai Epei was a little flustered. What he said today did irritate Amu, but he did not regret it. His sister must know clearly what kind of person she likes. Otherwise, let alone getting him, she might even lose her life in the end...
This time, His Highness went to the Swamp, but left him to handle the affairs of Chengtong Star and did not let him follow. He could already vaguely sense His Highness's dissatisfaction, but...

"Jiuyuan, what exactly are your plans regarding the Bichon? Why haven't you sent anyone to collect its blood these past few days?"
Liao Shitang sat in the swivel chair with his legs crossed, looking at the man opposite him who was working on something with his head down, waiting for his answer.
It would only be three to five days before Shiwei's next attack. He didn't understand what Jiuyuan was waiting for. Normally, the Bichon should have bled daily. After all, according to the secret book, animal blood needed to be consumed daily.
But it has been three days, and Jiuyuan not only gave the Bichon Frise to the little girl to take care of, but also forbade anyone from bleeding. Liao Shitang really couldn't bear the doubts in his heart.
