Chapter 36 Reactions from All Parties
When the guard saw that no one answered him and they all saluted in one direction, his body stiffened for a moment and he quickly turned around and saluted.
A certain guard was cursing in his heart: "What a bunch of bastards, such sinister villains! They were more active than anyone else in gossiping about His Highness than anyone else, and they didn't even remind him. Now, His Highness has overheard them. He's done for..."
"Why don't you continue?" Huo Qifeng squinted at the guard, his tone containing a hint of ridicule.
A personal guard: "..." His Highness's tone doesn't seem to indicate he's angry...
Everyone: “…”
Long time no see, has the master (Marshal) been replaced?
Everyone was speechless for a long time...
"Since you haven't said anything, let's get down to business." A fierce light flashed in Huo Qifeng's eyes.
These people are the personal guards of the generals in Huo Qi's territory. They are all appointed by Huo Qi himself and are Huo Qi's subordinates. They take care of all matters big and small in the Yilian Galaxy for him.
The life and death and honor of these people are closely related to Huo Qi, and they are absolutely loyal and trustworthy.
After the short meeting, Huo Qi led everyone to the press conference.
This press conference was held in the Military and Political Hall of Chengtong Star. This was not only Huo Qi's first official appearance since his disappearance, but also the first time Huo Qi officially appeared in the public eye since he was diagnosed with genetic collapse syndrome.
The reporters coming and going are also from various official mainstream media in the Imperial Star Region.
…
"Your Highness, Second Prince, may I ask if your disappearance is related to the enemy?"
"The cause of the starship's disaster is still under investigation, but the possibility of enemy forces cannot be ruled out." Huo Qi sat on the high platform and answered in his usual gentle voice.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, may I ask where you were during your disappearance? And how were you rescued?"
"I only remember being in an experimental base. As for being rescued? I escaped by myself while the enemy was careless, then ended up on an undeveloped planet, where I was eventually found by my third brother's men."
"Your Highness, Second Prince, do you remember what kind of experimental base this is? Do you know where it is?"
"I remember that place was near the Baiye Galaxy. No, I was only thinking about escaping at that time. I might have remembered it wrong..."
The reporters instantly smelled something unusual. It was a star-studded story. Everyone in the interstellar world knew about it. The Baiye Galaxy was the ancestral home of the Mowgli family!
The Second Prince's words were vague, so there must be something... Could it be that the Queen wanted...
If we can dig up some information, it will be big news!!! The reporters are excited...
"Your Highness, Second Prince, do you have any suspects?"
"Not yet, but I want to thank my third brother. It was he who sent the search and rescue team that first found me."
…
“Pah…”
Hua Ting Mowgli dropped the wine glass in his hand to the ground, his face looking extremely ugly.
Huo Qi's statement not only cleared the Third Prince of suspicion, but also directly raised his reputation among the people to a higher level. It was even very likely that...
There has always been a constant struggle within the royal family, fighting for power, fighting for the throne, fighting for the emperor's heart...
She has worked hard to reach her current position and has created the image of a noble and gentle queen.
Huo Qi's insinuating remarks will certainly lead to more speculation from the outside world, who will suspect that she is the mastermind behind the incident.
Without thinking too much, Hua Ting could already anticipate that the outside world would be more suspicious of her at this time.
Even though His Majesty has been recuperating, it is hard to protect him... The original plan was to deal with Huo Qi and then put the blame on Huo Lie.
Unexpectedly, I now feel like I am shooting myself in the foot.
He finally knew it. Yes, he was so perceptive, so he would naturally know...
Now that we've fallen out, then...

Shadowless Ship Main Ship
"Your Highness, what does the Second Prince mean by this? I don't quite understand. Doesn't he always like to cause trouble for you? Why this time..." Ying San looked confused.
"Speak for me?"
"Yes, after we rescued him, he didn't even come to meet you to thank you. This time..."
"Because he knows it's not me, and he also knows that the royal family and the empire cannot be in chaos now..." Horie Rex said, staring at the light screen.
The press conference was broadcast live and lasted more than three hours.
All forces in the Empire and even the Federation were watching this live broadcast...
The press conference on the screen is still going on...
"Your Highness, Second Prince, according to the people present, you disembarked the starship with a woman today. Who is she to you? Is she your girlfriend?"
The meeting was nearing its end when a young male reporter, who looked quite young, suddenly stood up and asked.
The scene was silent
Reporters: A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. This question reflects the thoughts of all of them.
All the confidants: This kid is probably finished...
…
Just when everyone thought Huo Qi would not answer and was about to end the press conference, he unexpectedly opened his thin lips slightly and said slowly
"No, it's my fiancée."
…
A brief silence...
There was an uproar at the scene...
"Then may I ask which noble family your fiancée is from?" The reporter did not expect Huo Qi to answer him, so he continued to ask.
"She is still young, so her identity cannot be revealed." Huo Qi replied.
…
…
Weiyang Palace
"Snap"
“Pah…”
The floor was littered with broken porcelain pieces, torn precious paintings, etc.
This is probably the most inappropriate time for Hua Ting Mowgli.
The several female servants and confidants kneeling on the side did not dare to look up.
"Ha, a loser like that actually has a fiancée!"
"How do you do things? When did Huo Qi have a fiancée, huh?"
"Master, this...we..."
"You bunch of trash, get out of here." Hua Ting's expression was distorted and terrifying at this moment.
"Fiancée, huh!"
"Someone, clean all this up. Ah Zhu, go and tell Miss Ximu from E Peizhen's family to come to Weiyang Palace to speak."
"Master, Ah Zhu heard that Miss Ximu from the E Peizhen family is infatuated with the Second Prince. I'm afraid she has already learned about His Highness the Second Prince..."
Hua Ting glanced at the waitress.
"Ximu E Peizhen, she seems calm and composed, not fighting or competing. But if she knew Huo Qi had a fiancée, she probably wouldn't be able to maintain her high and mighty attitude..."
"Yes, Ah Zhu, I'll go right away..."
…………
When Mu Jiao woke up, it was almost noon. When did she become so sleepy?
"Master, good afternoon. I'm your smart nanny, Xiao A. Master, lunch is ready. You can go to the restaurant with Xiao A to enjoy it anytime."
"Little A?" Mu Jiao looked at the round white metal robot in front of her.
"Yes, Master, Xiao A is your exclusive robot nanny."
"By the way, where's Mengmeng? And where's Huo Qi?"
"The housekeeper is afraid that your pet will disturb your rest, so he put it outside. You can see it when you go out.
As for His Royal Highness the Second Prince, he is currently out working and should be able to return home in the evening."
"Okay then. I'll wash up first."
"Okay, Master..."
