See you in Chapter 52
…
This was the first time Liao Qiqi met His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Empire, Huo Qi Rex, who had seriously injured their leader.
The moment she was stared at by that pair of captivating phoenix eyes, Liao Qiqi felt as if her heartbeat had stopped and goose bumps appeared all over her body. It was a creepy feeling, like being stared at by a ferocious beast lurking in the dark.
Liao Qiqi only glanced at the second prince and couldn't control her panic. She quickly lowered her head and saluted.
Fortunately, she was only a slave now. She couldn't look her master in the eye, so lowering her head to show respect was the most appropriate thing to do. Otherwise, facing those cold, scrutinizing eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, she was really afraid that she would show her weakness and be discovered by the other party.
"Brother Qi, this is Xiaoqi. Now that you've met her, just agree to my proposal! Xiaoqi is a really nice person. Besides, she's timid. Can you stop staring at her? She's scared."
Mu Jiao saw that Huo Qi was staring at his new friend, which made Xiao Qi a little scared, so he quickly came to the rescue.
"Do you really want her to follow you?" Huo Qi touched Mu Jiao's long hair and asked softly, his eyes shifting to the child beside him.
"Yeah, just agree to it~" Seeing that Huo Qi's tone was to confirm her consciousness, Mu Jiao knew that it was a done deal.
"In that case, this slave will stay with you temporarily to take care of you. Jiaojiao really needs someone to talk to." Huo Qi agreed.
"Brother Qi, it's great that you agreed! Sister Xiaoqi, you can stay here from now on!" Mu Jiao jumped up excitedly and said happily.
"Thank you, Master. Xiaoqi will definitely try her best to take care of Miss Mu Jiao. Thank you, Master." After hearing Huo Qi's words and getting Mu Jiao's affirmation, Xiaoqi quickly saluted.
"It's good that you know your mission. Get up." Huo Qi said lightly, then shifted his gaze away from Liao Qiqi.
Since the group came back, Huo Qi has been very busy except for going back to the villa to accompany Mu Jiao for three meals a day.
Besides publicly managing the Xing Territory, he also needed to secretly reorganize his power. Ever since he contracted the gene collapse syndrome, he hadn't properly managed his territory for a long time, leading many reckless individuals to secretly reach out to him...
The Empire has now entered the counterattack phase of the war, and the situation in all theaters of war is very favorable. The Federation has gradually shown signs of decline, but even so, it is impossible for the Empire to completely conquer the Federation.
The Federation's decline wasn't due to a lack of bravery among its warriors, but rather to the constant fighting and conflicts between the families of the Federation's Council of Elders and the seventeen elders. This is why the Federation went from a clear advantage at the beginning of the war to its current decline. The Empire's Rex family, on the other hand, was the absolute ruler, dominating the country. Even if conflicts between nobles arose frequently, they were minor matters to the imperial power. This is why the Empire continued to advance in the war.
Although Mu Jiao's experiment is still in progress, Huo Qi has a special premonition that his gene collapse disorder will definitely be cured through Mu Jiao's experiment.
Huo Qi Rex has never been a man without ambition. On the contrary, the heavy shadow of his childhood and the blow after his illness made his ambition continue to expand.
He never gave up the power in his hands when he was sick and dying, let alone now.
Reorganizing his forces and making a comeback, he had been secretly busy over the past few years, such as plotting to seize the position of Crown Prince, and even further, planning to seize the supreme imperial power. In Huo Qi's mind, only by being above everyone else could one truly control one's own destiny...
Without Mu Jiao's treatment, from the outside world's perspective, Huo Qi Rex would not have survived more than three years. But now, he will definitely still be alive in three years, and as expected, he will live a very healthy life.
By then, the outside world will no longer be able to hide it, and everyone will know that he has found a way to cure gene collapse disorder.
By then, his child would be exposed to the public, would achieve unparalleled feats, and would eventually stand with him at the pinnacle of the crowd...
Huo Qi was looking forward to that day, so the layout of the past few years was crucial. All the stumbling blocks on his way forward had to be cleared away...
It was nice to have a slave to play with the child. Huo Qi didn't have to worry about the slave knowing too much. If the child didn't like him anymore, he could just get rid of him...
Liao Qiqi lowered her head, completely unaware that her fate was about to be planned by Huo Qi. After Huo Qi called her, she lowered her head and stood behind Mu Jiao as if she was invisible.
The cold gaze finally moved away from her. She had passed this hurdle, and Liao Qiqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Fortunately, she was the undercover agent. Otherwise, if it was someone else on the mission, they would have been exposed right away...
Huo Qi finished eating the medicinal food prepared by Mu Jiao, chatted with Mu Jiao for a while, and then left the manor with a few confidants.
