Jiang Si noticed that Bo Jichen's gaze suddenly fell on Wei Chi's personal computer.
The photo on the computer showed a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing a crown, with bangs covering her smooth forehead and revealing a pair of beautiful purple eyes. She had a handsome and dashing face and was gazing tenderly at the person opposite her.
"Aren't they exactly the same?" Wei Chi asked Jiang Si again, "Especially those purple eyes. They are the only ones in the entire empire with such purple eyes, and they are the most beautiful."
They are exactly the same.
The identical appearance almost made Jiang Si blurt out, "Is my brother-in-law a cross-dresser?" However, she changed the subject and asked, "Is the person in the blurry outline opposite the Empress His Majesty?"
At first glance, the Empress's gaze seemed gentle, but upon closer inspection, it resembled doting affection, yet also a strong sense of possessiveness. It was as if she were telling everyone through her eyes, "The person I'm looking at is mine, and no one can take her away."
Wei Chi snorted smugly: "That's right, His Majesty and the Empress are a model of empire marriage."
"This photo was taken by the mermaid princess last year when the merfolk visited and the queen hosted a banquet for them at the palace."
"The mermaid princess challenged the queen for failing to conceive a child after many years, saying that she would definitely be able to conceive a child if she married His Majesty."
"They also said that the Empress is old and faded, occupying the position without doing anything, and that she is only pretending to be affectionate towards His Majesty because she is unwilling to give up her position. She originally planned to take photos so that everyone in the empire would know the Empress's false face."
"I never expected that once the photos were taken and posted on the StarNet, she would be seen as a clown. The way the Empress looked at His Majesty was the envious look of the married men in the Empire. They also wished that their wives would look at them with that kind of gaze."
So the mermaid princess's attempt to steal a chicken backfired spectacularly.
They thought they were making the empress look bad, but instead they gained a lot of fans for her.
pretty.
"Something's not right," Jiang Si thought to herself after praising how beautiful it was.
Wei Chi stared at the photo without looking up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Si pointed to a photo: "The Empress and her brother are twins. There haven't been any twins born in the fertility database for nearly 100 years. Their twin character setting doesn't make sense, does it?"
Wei Chi made no attempt to hide his anger and once again berated Jiang Si: "You piece of trash from a garbage planet, you've even forgotten your own idol from that garbage planet?"
Ginger shreds: "..."
Are they idols from the garbage planet?
What the hell is this now?
Seeing Jiang Si's bewildered expression, Wei Chi began to explain some basic facts to her: "General Bo Jichen was born on an abandoned mining planet in the 12 star system. It is said that when he was born, the mining resources of the 12 star system had been exhausted, and the planet was abandoned."
"The previous emperor believed that the 12 star systems were too far from the center of the empire and required a large amount of star coins to maintain each year, so he demolished the planets."
"General Bo Jichen's parents were miners. When the planet was about to be blown up, the birth bank of the 12 star system was moved. It was at that time that General Bo Jichen was born. Originally, the Empress was also born at that time."
"But the planet was about to explode, and the general was born first. The general's parents didn't have enough money, so they had to freeze the queen."
"Refrigeration?" Jiang Si felt she had just added another strange piece of knowledge to her list: "It's freezing a living thing to postpone its birth?"
Wei Chi clicked his tongue and scolded, "You piece of trash from a garbage planet, can you not speak so rudely? That was something the general's family had no choice but to do."
"Firstly, they don't have many star coins to begin with, and secondly, it's troublesome to take two children with them. Freezing the Queen means they can just carry the cryo-chamber around, which is much easier and more convenient than carrying a child who costs money everywhere."
Jiang Si clasped her hands in a fist and said, "I've learned a lot. Please continue."
Wei Chi continued, "After the abandoned mining planets of the 12th star system were destroyed, the general's parents went to the most remote junk planet in the 11th star system, doing the hardest and most tiring work to save money to unfreeze the queen."
"Unexpected events can happen at any time. They had finally saved enough money when they encountered bandits. The general's parents perished under their guns, and the refrigerated compartment containing the empress disappeared without a trace."
"The general became an orphan and grew up alone on a garbage planet. He went to school and, like you, was admitted to a military academy, but he got into the top military academy."
etc.
This plot is damn familiar.
It's just like those familiar romance dramas set before the end of the world on ancient Earth.
Okay, she gets the plot.
Jiang Si coughed lightly and replied, "General, your achievements are outstanding, and Your Majesty's ability to conceal your identity is extremely rare."
"The two became friends after a fight, and lived in the same dormitory. Later, after the general graduated, he joined the army, and His Majesty returned home to inherit the throne?"
Wei Chi's eyes widened: "So you knew?"
No, it wasn't her who knew.
She ransacked a library during the apocalypse when she wasn't fighting zombies. The library had everything, including love.
Jiang Si gave a forced smile, ignoring Wei Chi's glare, and continued, "After achieving his goals and returning to the capital planet, General, you discovered that your classmate and best friend is His Majesty?"
Wei Chi nodded: "Yes, and no."
"The general felt he had been deceived and left in a fit of anger?" Jiang Si asked again, "In order to win him back, His Majesty appointed him to command 150,000 imperial guards?"
Wei Chi shook his head sharply to correct Jiang Si: "No, General Bo Jichen left the military academy to first suppress bandits. He spent two years eliminating nearly a hundred bandit dens of all sizes and seizing stolen goods worth hundreds of billions of star coins."
This plot is just like the national treasury running out of money.
The eldest brother-in-law went to suppress bandits and replenish the national treasury?
Jiang Si asked in a low voice, "Back then, was the country particularly short of money?"
Wei Chi was taken aback: "There's no shortage of money, it's just that His Majesty inherited the throne and several agricultural planets suffered disasters."
"Furthermore, His Majesty's desire to reform the current dire situation of the people who lack mental and physical strength has not been approved by the Parliament and the Council of Elders. They believe that the people who lack mental and physical strength are useless and cannot generate revenue for the country, and that exiling them to garbage planets is the best place for them."
"His Majesty was young when he ascended the throne, and with such a huge commotion right from the start, it's impossible to get any money from the national treasury."
As expected.
Suppressing bandits, looted goods.
Used for reform.
Jiang Si gave herself a thumbs up, "Go on."
Wei Chi changed the subject and said, "General Bo Jichen rose from a private to a senior colonel in two years of suppressing bandits. Later, the advanced insectoid race entered the Empire, abducted many planters from the Empire, and invaded the Empire."
have to.
My brother-in-law is going to guard the city and fight against the Zerg.
Wei Chi paused for a moment and said, "General Bo Jichen felt that there was not much fun in fighting bandits, so he applied to be transferred to Kor Star to stop the Zerg invasion. He fought bravely for five years and was promoted from senior colonel to major general and then lieutenant general."
"After being poisoned by insects, his central nervous system was damaged, and he could no longer operate the mecha. He returned to the capital planet and discovered that his classmate and good friend was His Majesty."
Jiang Si interjected, "Did they stop the Zerg's last wave of attack and get poisoned by the Zerg?"
Wei Chi nodded: "Yes, that time the Zerg sent a high-ranking general to attack Kor Star. General Bo Jichen single-handedly cut off his head before being poisoned by the Zerg. After that, the Zerg withdrew from a star system outside Kor Star."
"After General Bo Jichen returned to the capital star, due to His Majesty's influence and the need for treatment of the insect poison in the Fourth Civilization Star System, His Majesty, being a man of great loyalty and righteousness, treated him as a friend. In addition, he was an invaluable general, so His Majesty took him to seek help from the Fourth Civilization Star System."
"On the way back, General Bo Jichen found his younger sister. His sister had long been thawed and had grown into a beautiful young woman. Our Emperor fell in love with her at first sight."
This damn flawed love story.
Insect poison?
A natural return to the capital.
Seeking the Fourth Civilization?
A trip can last at least a month, and at most three months. In that time, what kind of story can't be made up, and what kind of people can't be squeezed in?
"And then?" Jiang Si asked with great interest, countless images flashing through her mind as Wei Chi spoke.
Wei Chi sighed: "Then, the royal family has always been fussy and has long, tedious rules. The general finally found his sister, so naturally he didn't want her to marry into the royal family. He wanted to keep her by his side, cherish her, protect her, and love her."
"But His Majesty was determined to marry her. In order to make the Empress's family background a match for the royal family, he directly overruled all objections and put Bo Jichen in charge of the 150,000-strong guard of the capital star, making him a general."
His Majesty has put his brother-in-law in charge of the capital's 150,000-strong guard; that's a ruthless move.
Firstly, he had entrusted his life and fortune to the capital planet; secondly, the capital planet was the political hub of the Troia Empire, where powerful and influential people were located. His brother-in-law commanded 150,000 guards, and if anyone caused any disturbance, he could simply order an attack.
Wei Chi's sigh turned into one of envy: "His Majesty married the Empress with the highest royal protocol, elevating her power to the same level as his, and both of them are addressed as 'Your Majesty.'"
"To put General Bo Jichen's mind at ease, and considering that although the insect poison has been cleared from General Bo Jichen's body, he is not as strong as he was at his peak, and he has no wife or family, His Majesty has allowed him to live in the palace. Firstly, so that the Empress can take care of him nearby, and secondly, so that he can see that His Majesty's feelings for the Empress have always been consistent."
"This love is so bittersweet," Jiang Si sighed. "It's something to be damn longed for, something to be envious of."
This damn love is like a big net, binding the two of them tightly, making each step seamless.
“Yes, this damn bittersweet love story.” Wei Chi sighed in agreement: “Every time I think of His Majesty and the Empress’s love story, I also want to find a family with a brother-in-law.”
So, is the brother-in-law a cross-dresser?
Or is he a cross-dressing master?
Jiang Si finally understood why Yan Qi, that bastard, enjoyed uncovering her secrets; she also wanted to uncover her brother-in-law's secrets.
