The royal family members who witnessed the entire process fell silent. No one spoke first.
Neither Si's mother nor Si's father spoke; they simply looked at His Majesty, waiting for him to give his final conclusion.
Such a thing could not be kept secret, and they did not intend to hide it from His Majesty. Therefore, after returning, the two went directly to the palace and told His Majesty everything.
All eyes were on His Majesty, waiting for him to say how he would handle the matter.
His Majesty stared emotionlessly at Lorena's face in the video—a face that, though disfigured, was still recognizable.
Brett spoke up at this moment, "A year ago, Lorena said she had something to talk to me about. After we went out, I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I was already in the Zerg."
"I've already told you about this, Father. Even if she wasn't the Insect Emperor, she had already colluded with him long ago, let alone the fact that she was the Insect Emperor."
At this point, Breken asked uncertainly, "Father, you...you're not going to soften your heart towards Hao Hao, are you?"
Upon hearing this, His Majesty gave him a faint glance. Brecken stiffened under his father's gaze, realizing he had misunderstood.
Sure enough, His Majesty spoke up, "That's not what I'm thinking about. What I'm thinking about is that the worms in my body were probably planted by her as well."
"..." This is an obvious problem.
His Majesty spoke again, "Announce to the public that Lorena has run away without permission and has been assassinated by space pirates. Order the Second Military District to do everything in its power to wipe out the pirates. Yercha will handle this matter."
"Yes, Father." Yelcha replied respectfully.
This could be seen as providing a reasonable explanation for Lorena's death, while also framing the pirates. Using this excuse to wage war against the pirates again was also a viable strategy.
To kill two birds with one stone, Ye Er should definitely do this well.
"That's how it'll be done," His Majesty declared decisively.
"Yes," everyone responded.
His Majesty has no feelings for Lorena; his heart will always belong to his former queen, the mother of his three sons.
The Empress was also taken advantage of by her while drunk. It was eventually discovered that the death of the former Empress was related to her, and that the Emperor himself had killed the former Empress.
Lorena, on the other hand, was merely a scandal within the royal family, even before she had any ulterior motives.
The royal family has plenty of money and wouldn't mind supporting another one. Now that they know her identity, her death is no big deal; His Majesty doesn't care.
Time flies by in this mundane yet busy period, and more than seven months have passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Yan Jin was heavily pregnant and nearing her due date; the baby was about to be born.
At this time, Yan Jin was forcibly taken back to the Si residence by Si's mother and father to be raised, waiting for the arrival of the child's birth.
Not trusting his wife and unable to let her go, Si Yuling certainly wouldn't let Yan Jin go home alone.
So he finished his work ahead of time and came back with Yan Jin.
As the due date for the baby's birth approached, Yan Jin wasn't nervous at all. On the contrary, Si Yuling was so nervous that he couldn't sleep, and his eyes were covered in dark circles. He kept circling around Yan Jin.
Yan Jin said helplessly, "Don't worry, Dean Bi Qingfang and Gu Xiaotian are both here, as are Yun Duo, my parents are with me, and you're here too. Nothing will happen, relax, don't be nervous."
Upon hearing this, Si Yuling looked at Yan Jin with obvious tension, and his eyes even turned red.
