At this time, Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang also arrived outside the imperial city.
"I'll go with you this time."
Bai Xiao held Yuan Fang's hand tightly, and her firm tone softened Yuan Fang's heart.
No one knows how many secrets the royal family is hiding. Even though the elders have been investigating for so many years, they themselves joked that if these reports were to get out, they would likely be labeled as making unfounded accusations.
He said it was just his own speculation about being an old, decrepit man.
It was precisely because of this that Yuan Fang decided to go to the palace, not to see Ceres, but to see his cousin, Crown Prince Field, with whom he had grown up.
"After graduating from military academy a few years ago, my elder brother did not join the military. He has always claimed that his health has not been very good and that he has been recuperating... In fact, they have never revealed the reason for my elder brother's health condition to the public."
The grandfather meant that the royal family members seemed to have some health problems, and it was this problem that forced them to do things secretly behind everyone's back, such as colluding with the Zerg.
The most obvious signs of any health problems would likely be found in the Crown Prince, who rarely appears in public.
When Yuan Fang and Bai Xiao heard the elder directly say that the royal family was colluding with the insectoid race, their expressions were no different from seeing a ghost.
"Would the Crown Prince see us if we went directly to him?"
After Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang passed through the guards of the imperial city, they were not immediately taken to see Field. Instead, they headed towards the Empress. On the way, Bai Xiao asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Yuan Fang shook his head, but this is the busiest time for His Majesty. Without His Majesty present, it would be easier for them to see Field, even if they had to lie, than when His Majesty was present.
Moreover, the maternal grandfather, who had always refused to let them into the palace, had recently received a message from an unknown source. It was this message that changed their tune and asked them to come see Field.
...
Meanwhile, His Majesty Theros, whom they were eyeing, received news that the Fifth Legion had clashed with the Second Legion and had fled.
What's going on here?
"Idiot! They weren't catching fireflies at all!"
Theros had a grim expression and went directly to the commander of the Fifth Legion to question him about the soldiers under his command. The commander looked innocent and said that he had no idea what was going on. He said that his soldiers had gone to buy energy crystals and that they had been temporarily conscripted by the Sixth Legion.
"They've already bought energy crystals from them. If they borrow some of my soldiers, how can I refuse? Since they're following Xiao Hu's orders to capture Liu Ying, of course we have to take it seriously and not tarnish the reputation of our Fifth Legion."
Hearing the Fifth Legion Commander's high-sounding reasons, Theros felt a throbbing pain in his temples again. After turning off the video, he sat alone in his study for a long time without saying a word, his eyes, which shone brightly in the darkness, fixed on Mei Shi and her husband, who were confronting the Queen Beetle on the live broadcast...
"Achoo!!"
While facing off against the Wind Demon, Mei Shi felt a tickle in her nose and couldn't help but sneeze.
"What the hell? Someone's still talking about me?"
Mei Shi muttered something under her breath, then took the handkerchief Ming Yi handed her and said, "To be honest, I think it's a very irrational thing for you to do something to Hua Lan Star today."
After testing each other a few times, Feng Yan seemed to relax, perhaps it was just Mei Shi's imagination.
This is not a good sign; it feels like the other side has a backup plan.
As Mei Shi spoke, she turned to look at Ming Yi. Ming Yi secretly nodded to Ming Mei, wondering if they should shut down their live stream. In just that short time, no fewer than 9,999 “highly credible” versions of the story had appeared on the StarNet.
Regarding the relationship between Hualan Star and the Zerg.
The story is outrageous and has a high readership. It tells the tale of Mei Qiu deceiving the Queen Insect Mother and then running away. The story even includes a lengthy post of tens of thousands of words detailing how Mei Qiu's "disappearance" over the years was actually an undercover operation within the Insect Clan. She allegedly set a honey trap for the Queen Insect Mother, which allowed her to extract so many secrets. It is said that she brought these secrets back and then did so many things.
And some people actually believed this guess!
In fact, because of the author's skill in writing short essays, a group of people even felt that it made a lot of sense. After all, it was hard to believe that Mei Qiu suddenly appeared and revealed so many things that they had not known for decades or even centuries!
Even if there is solid evidence, apart from Mei Qiu's die-hard fans, who wouldn't want to wonder how Mei Qiu found out about it?
Besides these outrageous speculations, there are also some more plausible ones. For example, some people speculate that Hualan Star did something unknown to the Zerg that caused them to swarm out, and whether this is related to the destruction of the ancient planet Hualan.
[Let me tell you, everyone remembers how Hualan Star came to be, right? It's the remnants of the ancient planet Lan, which was destroyed by the Zerg and space pirates, wasn't it?]
[Who knows what Hua Lan Xing did to retaliate against the Zerg later, and that's why it's turned out this way now that it's been discovered.]
Wow, if that's really the case, I admire Hua Lanxing quite a bit. You know, not everyone has the chance for revenge like this.
But surely their revenge isn't something everyone on the planet agrees to? So many innocent people... isn't it wrong to drag the whole planet into this?
[The Zerg were clearly the ones who made the mistake first, so why should they have to consider the other side's feelings when seeking revenge? I support Hua Lan Star's revenge to the very end!]
[Don't be like that! Looking at the current situation, if a real war breaks out, Hua Lan Star will definitely be gone. What are you supporting?]
[After hundreds of years of rebuilding our homes, you just say you support revenge without any regard for our own homes?]
