Jian Luo looked at himself in the mirror for a while, sighed, and finally decided to go out first. After all, he couldn't figure out anything now, so it would just be a waste of time.
He opened the bathroom door, ready to run and change his clothes first, but he froze as soon as he opened the door, staring into Lu Shifeng's eyes as he stood at the door.
“…”
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Lu Shifeng's gaze swept over him, and a hint of ridicule flashed across the man's usually cold eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, with an ambiguous meaning.
Jian Luo froze in place, his ears suddenly turning red, and he was quite angry and embarrassed: "Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I came back at the wrong time?"
“…”
Jian Luo walked quickly towards the wardrobe and casually pulled on a coat to cover up the annoying shape: "No, it just scared me."
As he spoke, he tried to put his clothes on.
As a result, because I didn't look at the clothes, I took a long time to put them on and couldn't get them to fit. When I lowered my head, I saw a pair of blue clothes.
Jian Luo widened his eyes.
Lu Shifeng walked towards him, his military boots making crisp sounds as they stepped on the ground. Jian Luo nervously took two steps back.
Finally, Lu Shifeng stopped in front of him and stretched out his hand. His bony hands slowly approached, causing Jian Luo's heart to beat faster. He stammered, "What are you going to do? I'm pregnant."
Lu Shifeng picked up the coat in his hand: "You can't wear it, it's too big."
Um?
Jian Luo shifted her gaze to Lu Shifeng's hand, and discovered that the Marshal was holding a piece of clothing that she had just casually torn off. What was even worse was that it was actually his military uniform!
A wave of annoyance washed over Jian Luo, and he felt a little ashamed and angry: "I took the wrong one."
Lu Shifeng said "hmm" and threw his coat back into the closet. Then he looked down at Jian Luo's new clothes.
Jian Luo was still feeling embarrassed, but suddenly he felt that the room was quiet. He raised his head curiously and met Lu Shifeng's gaze.
? ? !!
Jian Luo instantly retreated half a meter, then jumped onto the bed and huddled under the quilt: "Don't look!"
Lu Shifeng stood there and watched the little rabbit jumping around. The little tail of the clothes behind it was swaying, which looked very dynamic. The clothes that were originally sexy looked like children's clothes on him, which was quite cute.
Lu Shifeng opened his mouth, his voice full of magnetism and a little hoarse: "Who gave you the clothes?"
“…”
No way, this also needs to be taken care of.
Jian Luo hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth: "Sister Ya gave it to me. Don't blame her. It's a gift."
Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows noncommittally: "Aya?"
Jian Luo nodded.
He had thought it all out. Based on the Marshal's strict personality, he would definitely say something golden soon. Maybe he would even teach him a lesson about how to behave in broad daylight. It would be bad if he took his anger out on others. If he wanted to find Aya to punish him, he would still help plead for mercy. After all, he was not that cold-blooded and heartless person!
However, to his surprise,
Lu Shifeng said slowly: "Not bad."
Jian Luo was stunned.
"Very creative." Lu Shifeng sat on the edge of the bed, his long legs crossed. He raised an eyebrow at Jian Luo and said lazily, "I just didn't expect you to be so anxious. It seems that I usually ignore your needs."
????
Jian Luo felt as if a wave of question marks instantly overwhelmed his head.
He stammered to clear his name: "I don't have such a need, I just took the wrong clothes!"
A strange light flashed in Lu Shifeng's eyes. His gaze swept over Jian Luo, which was actually very penetrating. The man said slowly, "Really?"
Jian Luo nodded frantically: "Of course it's true!"
The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.
In the end, he didn’t know if it was Jian Luo’s illusion, but he actually felt that the Marshal seemed a little disappointed!
You are so lost!
…
Lu Shifeng turned around and said, "Take your clothes and go to the bathroom to change."
When Jian Luo saw that he stopped teasing her, she actually felt a little uncomfortable. This guy is very strange. If he keeps pressing you, you will want to retreat. If he gives up on his own initiative, you will feel a little psychologically unbalanced.
The pure-blooded human Jian Luoluo is now caught in this kind of tangled thoughts.
Finally, he quickly grabbed a new set of clothes and went back to the bathroom to change quickly. He said, "I left some food for you in the small cupboard next to you. It's still warm. Remember to eat it."
Lu Shifeng watched him run into the bathroom, narrowed his eyes, and finally stood up and went to the bathroom in the next room.
…
When Jian Luo came out, the Marshal was already eating at the table.
Jian Luo sat down while wiping his hair: "Is it delicious?"
Lu Shifeng said: "I heard that the princess came to see you."
"Yeah." Jian Luo didn't hide it from him: "Because the matter of herbs always needs to be checked, and then they had dinner together."
This man was really scary. Sometimes Jian Luo would feel creepy, as if he knew everything she did and who she met every day.
Lu Shifeng said: "Talk less to her."
Jian Luo was unconvinced: "Why?"
"She's probably faking her illness." Lu Shifeng picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. "She's probably just staying here to find a chance to escape."
“…”
No way?
Jian Luo felt as if his perspective had suddenly been refreshed. Why did the princess always come to him? Could it be that she had some premeditated plan to use him?
The more Jian Luo thought about it, the more uneasy he felt: "Are you afraid that she will use me to escape?"
"No." Lu Shifeng raised his eyelids to look at him, leaned back on the sofa, and said in a casual tone: "I'm afraid you'll waste your energy."
“…”
What do you mean, you dog man?
However, after Lu Shifeng's reminder, Jian Luo became much more sober and was more cautious when dealing with the princess.
They might have to stay on the Industrial Star for a few more days, because the requirements for the protective shield that Lu Shifeng wanted to customize were very strict and needed to be coordinated with the engineering work here, so Jian Luo, as a family member, naturally had some free time on the Industrial Star.
What he didn't expect was that he would actually receive greetings from the little emperor.
The little emperor sent him a message: "Luoluo!"
When he sent the message, Jian Luo was still sorting through the herbal medicine he had picked from Earth. He was startled when he heard the message. He sighed and replied, "What's the matter?"
The little emperor babble: "No, I just missed you. How was your honeymoon? If Lord Lu doesn't treat you well, I'll find someone else for you."
"……good."
Jian Luo still wanted to kill himself. He let him say bad things about Lu Shifeng behind his back. To be frank, he wanted to live for two more years.
The little emperor sighed and finally got to the point: "Hey Luoluo, I want to discuss something with you."
Jian Luo was flattered. After all, the other party was the emperor. Although the little emperor was usually not arrogant, he was still an emperor after all. Now the emperor actually condescended to discuss something with him?
Jian Luo put down the work in his hands and said, "Go ahead."
"I want you to take some time to live stream every day if you're free," the little emperor said. "You can also broadcast some information about my son, even if it's just about cooking."
“…”
Jian Luo's heart choked, and he hesitated, "Why?"
The little emperor responded readily, "Because the data from Phoenix TV a few days ago showed that your live broadcast increased the nation's overall happiness and social benefits by 20%. Even Dark Star's stock price hit its daily limit, and more people who originally opposed the clones have signed up for consent."
???
Jian Luo's eyes widened: "Is this true?"
The little emperor was afraid he wouldn't agree: "Of course it's true. Don't worry, you won't be broadcasting for nothing. You can treat it as a job. From now on, a salary of 1 million will be deposited into your account every month. And as a major contribution to mankind, we will reduce and exempt all human taxes."
Jian Luo thought about it and felt that it was feasible. Firstly, he was short of money to build the earth. If he insisted on live streaming every day, wouldn’t it be 30 million in 30 days?
If he wanted to invest in building a factory and replace a new batch of protective shields, he had previously calculated that he would need at least 100 million in start-up capital.
Moreover, the interstellar food delivery company he had originally envisioned, the investment and research and development of milk tea, all required money. Now that there was a job in front of him that could make money and not delay his work, how could he refuse!
Thinking of this, Jian Luo said generously: "Okay, I promise you, the minimum live broadcast time is not less than one hour, otherwise I will not feel at ease taking this money."
The little emperor smiled and said, "You decide. Otherwise, if it takes too long, Lord Lu won't agree."
“…”
Jian Luo suddenly had a terrible idea: "Um, have you proposed this to Brother Long?"
The little emperor sighed, "I mentioned it before, but he refused. He said you and your son should have a good rest and not be so tired every day."
really.
Jian Luo wanted to sigh even more. How could he be tired? As long as there was money to be made, he would want to go out and make money all day long.
…
After perfunctorily dealing with the little emperor, Jian Luo began to sort the herbs. Although Lu Shifeng said that the princess was pretending, he was still serious about preparing the medicine.
After checking the prescription and dosage with the old Chinese doctor, he began to decoct the medicine.
Secretary Jin came over once during the meal and was overwhelmed by the smell: "Luoluo, what are you cooking?"
"Medicine." Jian Luo said without turning his head: "Do you want to try it?"
"No, enjoy it yourself."
“…”
Not only Secretary Jin, but even Lu Shifeng could smell the medicinal scent on Jian Luo, although the Marshal would never express his disdain.
Jian Luo was very depressed: "Is it really that bad?"
The answer was revealed during a live broadcast one day. Jian Luo was cooking and the medicine on the side was almost cooked, so he walked over and opened the lid. In an instant, a strong smell of medicine covered the entire live broadcast room. The people who were not on guard were almost killed by the smell.
"Biochemical weapons?"
"I've never smelled anything so bad in my life."
"Anchor, you work too hard."
"It turns out that being pregnant requires enduring such pain. It's not easy."
For a while, the amount of gifts skyrocketed, and everyone gave Jian Luo gifts out of sympathy, and comforted him to take care of his health.
Jian Luo: “…”
Because of the criticism from the audience, Jian Luo was still a little confused, so he was a little shocked when Lu Shifeng came back in the evening.
Jian Luo smelled it herself and leaned towards him: "Do you think the smell of medicine on me is unpleasant?"
Lu Shifeng frowned imperceptibly: "It doesn't smell bad."
"You're lying." Jian Luo wanted to expose his true face, so she moved closer, almost squeezing into his arms, and put her arm in front of his face: "Smell it again."
Lu Shifeng had nowhere to retreat, so he simply stopped moving and just raised his eyebrows: "Jian Luo."
Jian Luo: "Ah?"
"If you don't go down now, don't go down."
"…I remembered something else."
Of course, the one who suffered the most was the princess. It was really pitiful that someone who was pretending to be sick had to drink such a disgusting medicine when she was not sick.
I don’t know what the princess was thinking, or maybe she was under deliberate control, but her illness actually got better slowly. For this, the leader attributed all the credit to Jian Luo, especially when he held a grand farewell banquet on the day Lu Shifeng and the others were leaving.
Jian Luo wiped the sweat from his head due to the heat: "Are all the rooms on Industrial Star decorated so hardcore?"
Secretary Jin said, "I'm afraid so."
The entire venue is filled with all kinds of machinery and metal. It doesn't look like a banquet, but rather like a factory queue, which is very pleasant.
The queen and the leader standing in front looked particularly well matched. She was wearing a red dress today, and her complexion looked much better. She was completely different from her previous little white flower-like temperament. She was originally sipping wine, but seemed to be aware of Jian Luo's gaze and looked over.
Jian Luo quickly looked away.
The queen might have choked, and suddenly began to cough and gasp violently. The red wine glass in her hand was shaking, and a lot of it spilled accidentally.
The leader asked nervously, "Wanru, is Wanru okay?"
The queen's face turned pale and she shook her head gently: "It's okay, Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Divine Doctor, where is the Divine Doctor?" The leader looked around and finally saw Jian Luo. He hurriedly said, "Divine Doctor, can you come and help my beloved concubine?"
Jian Luo hesitated for a moment: "Okay."
He took a few steps forward and came to the queen's side. The queen said, "I feel a little chest tightness, but it shouldn't be a big deal. Doctor, don't worry. I can just go back to my room and rest."
That couldn't be better.
Jian Luo took a step back: "Then Your Highness, please go and rest."
The queen smiled and walked down the stairs: "Luoluo, if you have the time and opportunity, you can come back and have a look."
Jian Luo nodded.
The queen then left the stage. Because of her absence, Jian Luo's nervousness was much reduced. There was nothing he could do; he always felt that this woman was a little weird.
Secretary Jin was eating nearby: "These energy candies from Industrial Star are really good."
Upon hearing this, Jian Luo also took one and put it in his mouth. He savored it carefully and then praised it: "It's really good."
Because Secretary Jin had also eaten this, Jian Luo dared to eat it too, but what he didn't expect was that after almost a while, his stomach began to feel uncomfortable.
No way...
Jian Luo frowned and said to Secretary Jin, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Secretary Jin was still eating, and not far away, Lu Shifeng was discussing the final handover matters with the leader. She said, "I'll go with you."
Jian Luo didn't dare to ask a girl to accompany him to the bathroom, so he just said, "Then you wait for me outside."
Secretary Jin agreed.
Jian Luo went to the toilet to relieve himself, and the pain in his stomach was finally relieved. He sighed and decided in his heart that he would never eat alien food again, as it would easily cause him to suffer from acclimatization.
He turned around and prepared to leave the bathroom, but before he could step out of the door, a protective shield appeared in front of him. Then, a figure stood at the door. It was the queen in a red dress.
Jian Luo: "Your Highness?"
The queen leaned against the door: "You are not surprised."
"...unexpected." Jian Luo couldn't leave, so he simply washed his hands: "But it also felt within my expectations. After all, you've been eyeing me for a long time."
The queen now actually admired Jian Luo's courage.
She stood up straighter. "Aren't you afraid of what I might do to you?"
Jian Luo shook the water off his hands and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't be so foolish as to do it. At least she's still worth a bit of money."
The queen laughed muffledly: "Did you deliberately let me succeed?"
Jian Luo shook his head: "I don't support you."
“…”
There was a moment of silence in the air.
The queen's face darkened. After a moment, she said, "You know, he forced me to come here and treat me. You saw the injuries on my body. On the surface, he treated me so well, but in private, he beat and imprisoned me at every turn. If I hadn't pretended to be sick, he would have tortured me even more."
Jian Luo sighed softly.
The queen leaned against the door and said, "I need your help. Your husband is Lu Shifeng. Even if you did something, no one would dare to hold you accountable."
Yes, that's the purpose.
Jian Luo sneered: "Do you think I'm stupid? If I help you, what will happen to Brother Long's protective shield order? In order to help you escape, I'm playing with the lives of the soldiers in the army. Do you think I'm a saint?"
The queen was a little surprised. She stood up straight and looked at Jian Luo in disbelief: "Do you really care about those people?"
“…”
No, I just don’t want to die.
Jian Luo looked at the queen's red eyes, and recalled the bruises he saw when he diagnosed her illness. He was filled with emotion. He had always been against domestic violence and mental control. Even Lu Shifeng, although the Marshal always looked very strong, was actually very gentle and considerate.
When they were getting along normally, if he said no, Lu Shifeng would not force him, and Lu Shifeng was not overbearing or dictatorial. If there was anything, they could sit down and discuss it properly. Even if his words were harsh, he was still very reasonable.
Jian Luo thought for a moment: "What are you going to do?"
Seeing that his attitude had softened, the queen said, "Luoluo, I already have someone to pick me up. I've made all the necessary preparations for this day, just to escape from these people's clutches."
Jian Luo was slightly surprised, then nodded: "That's fine, why are you blocking me?"
The queen removed the protective shield, stepped forward quickly, and held Jian Luo's hand: "Let's go together!"
? !!
The woman in red standing before him pulled out a magnet from her pocket. The style was something Jian Luo had never seen before. She said, "This can unlock the Dark Star's specially made tracking signal device. I've been staying in the palace just to get this magnet. This time, when your Dark Star warship came over, they took out the magnet again to fit the protective shield, so I took the opportunity to copy it."
"drop."
Right in front of Jian Luo, the queen untied her information bracelet.
Jian Luo widened his eyes: "It's really open."
"Luoluo, I really want to save you. I can see that you don't really want to be with him either, because there is no love between you. I've been through this, and I can see it." The queen pulled her hair up, revealing the wound on her neck. She said, "Also, I have a general understanding of Dark Star's situation. There are some things I don't know if you understand, but I must tell you..."
Jian Luo: "What?"
The queen curled her lips and smiled. "If you think Lord Lu is sincere to you, you're wrong. If I remember correctly, the Dark Star was in turmoil, the planet's magnetic field was affected, and the environment was harsh. Every planet has its own destiny. For this reason, Lu Shifeng ordered the massacre of many less civilized races and took away their planet's core crystals."
Jian Luo widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Earth, humanity's home planet, is also on the list." The queen was afraid he wouldn't believe her, so she said, "Don't you find the Dark Stars strange? Why are they infertile? Why do their people have physical defects? Because they were destined to die out. They simply took the luck of other planets and forcibly changed their fate."
Jian Luo's face gradually darkened: "You mean..."
The queen waved her hand. "My planet is also on the list. Originally, taking a planet's core was taboo. Most of the races that perished at that time were exterminated, so no one knew about it. I am an exception. I was abducted. As for you humans, the reason you were kept captive by the Dark Star people is probably because they wanted to atone for their sins."
Jian Luo's heartbeat was a little abnormal, his palms were sweating, and he subconsciously resisted: "You have no evidence."
The queen didn't refute. "Whether it's true or not, you'll know one day. I don't need to lie to you. I'm just telling you the truth. Today is your only chance to escape. If you miss it, it might be difficult next time. I've already chosen a place where no one will find you to start over. There won't be any inequality there, and no one will force us. Shall we go?"
