Chapter 165
Gu Jin is truly incredible.
Could it be that Ou Che didn’t see the expressions those three people had towards Ye Wangxing?
Why does he look so moved by such a loving father and filial son story?
But when Gu Jin looked at Ou Che looking at Ye Wangxing with an expression as if he saw a fellow creature, he suddenly realized something.
——In Ou Che’s eyes, Ye Wangxing was not his queen from the very beginning under his influence.
But a tool, an NPC.
To Ou Che, Ye Wangxing was even more unfamiliar than his subordinates. So in Ou Che's eyes, even if Ye Wangxing had that kind of face, he was probably just a tool to him.
So even though Ye Wangxing made that expression now, Ou Che did not think of it in a wrong way, but instead admired Ye Wangxing for thinking the same thing as him.
——Gu Jin never doubted that Ou Che would behave the same way when facing his own children.
Of course, Ou Che might be a little tougher.
"...But Ye Wangxing is a little weak. How could he be suppressed by a few young boys? If he fights with them and something happens, maybe I can still protect those three."
Ou Che watched with great interest and commented as if he was watching a TV series.
When Gu Jin heard Ou Che's words, he immediately understood his thoughts. In Ou Che's opinion, Ye Wangxing was now completely worthless, especially since those three people seemed to have irreconcilable conflicts with Ye Wangxing.
——Then it would be better to let those three have some conflicts with Ye Wangxing, and it would be best if Ye Wangxing suffered some life threats.
This way he could show some favor to the new nobles of the empire.
After all, although the father-son relationship between the three of them and Ye Wangxing was eye-catching, what made Ou Che more afraid was the brotherly relationship between the three of them. Although there were deep conflicts between them and Ye Wangxing, the three of them had a real friendship worth their lives.
After realizing this, Gu Jin felt a chill in his heart.
...After all, he really didn't expect that Ou Che would have the same idea as him.
"Tsk, it'll take a lot more effort to deceive him next time."
Gu Jin thought regretfully.
Just as Gu Jin thought, Ou Che was still feeling regretful.
What a great idea! It’s a pity that Ye Wangxing is a mute, and they can’t create any conflicts to make him quarrel with Ye Wangxing.
Although they didn't quarrel, the atmosphere between the four of them was not very good.
The three people stared at the man in front of them in silence for a long time before they finally reacted. Wen Shi was the first to slam the table and was about to say something, but Viscount Cecil, as the eldest brother, held him down first.
"Mr. Ye, are you trying to avoid solving the problem? And throw the problem to us, the victims?"
Viscount Cecil said this, looking at Ye Wangxing across from him as he opened his eyes again. His eyes were filled with melancholy and confusion, as if he didn't understand why Viscount Cecil said that.
But Viscount Cecil's voice did not soften, but became even more cold and ruthless.
"What a great plan, Mr. Ye! If we make some so-called excessive demands, you can use this to reverse public opinion and make your abandonment of us the fault of our three adopted sons, right?"
As soon as Viscount Cecil opened his mouth, Wen Shi, who was about to say something angrily, sat back on the sofa angrily.
Hearing his elder brother's words, he nodded immediately.
The captain of the guards standing beside him no longer had his previous gentle and polite demeanor. Even though he had a polite smile on his face, the words he said were not polite at all.
"After all, you look so innocent and pitiful. You are a poor queen who was manipulated by the Queen Mother into entering the palace. You live on a tightrope every day, afraid that you will fall into the abyss as soon as you wake up. You can only comfort yourself by accepting bribes."
The chief guard spoke these heart-wrenching words in a calm tone. Ye Wangxing on the other side panicked subconsciously, opened his mouth to explain but couldn't say anything, and turned back to flip the holographic screen.
But the captain of the guard did not stop. What he said made Ye Wangxing stop searching for the holographic screen.
"What a pitiful timid queen! Even if she abandoned a few adopted children ten years ago, what's the problem? He must have been scared. The environment of Black Star is not suitable for him. After all..."
The captain of the guards watched Ye Wangxing bite his lips until they bled, then smiled and gave Ye Wangxing the final blow.
"——Didn't those children reappear in front of him in the end? What could he have done wrong?"
After the captain of the guard finished speaking, Her Royal Highness the Queen sat opposite him, her nails deeply embedded in the palms of her hands, and there were even faint stains of blood.
He looked quite painful and even sad, but the sadness was not hatred, but was directed at himself.
He seemed to blame himself for abandoning his three adopted sons, and he looked quite regretful.
Looking at Ye Wangxing like this, Gu Jin really wanted to say that if he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place.
But thinking about the environment of Black Star, Gu Jin was speechless.
Putting aside the calculations against Ye Wangxing, Ye Wangxing was just an ordinary person at the time. His most instinctive thought after his survival was threatened, and abandoning the three adopted sons was also a choice of self-preservation, even though he had already had the obligation to raise them.
But at the same time, after the three adopted sons are found, he does need to take the risk of their revenge.
Gu Jin suddenly felt a little sympathetic towards Ye Wangxing. After all, in his life over the past few decades, it seemed that there was no moment of peace. On the contrary, he spent most of his time wandering around.
But this did not stop him from attacking Ye Wangxing. If the news today were to get out, it would be a devastating blow to Ye Wangxing's reputation.
The parliament must also pass the impeachment procedure immediately, otherwise the reputation of the entire royal family will be implicated by Ye Wangxing.
——In fact, even if the queen has an illegitimate child, it is normal under the manipulation of the parliament.
But it is absolutely unacceptable for the queen to abandon her husband and children.
The former can be explained as being unable to help oneself, but the latter is completely inexplicable.
Although Gu Jin thought a lot, only a few seconds passed in reality.
Viscount Cecil and the captain of the guard had finished speaking, and according to the order, it was Wen Shi's turn to speak, but...
Hearing this, he said nothing, but just nodded.
He seemed to agree very much with what his two brothers said, and his eyes were red and wide open, as if he was about to get up from the sofa and kill Ye Wangxing if he disagreed with him.
Gu Jin felt a little uneasy seeing his fierce look.
After all, Wen Shi was his subordinate. Although it was his assistant who communicated with them most of the time and he only needed a result, he had also heard of Wen Shi's name.
——It’s basically a humanoid mecha that can take on an entire starship by itself.
He didn't even know who had trained such a ferocious humanoid beast with such powerful fighting power.
Gu Jin thought about it and subconsciously leaned back, as if to get away from Wen Shi. And because of this, he happened to see the spirit bodies of the three brothers in that box.
The first thing that caught my eye was the polar bear spirit next to Wen Shi.
Gu Jin originally thought that the polar bear should be baring its teeth at Ye Wangxing, but...
The polar bear looked pitiful and huddled against the wall.
Weak, pitiful and helpless, but very big.
Gu Jin saw what the polar bear was doing: ...
It is really hard to believe that a polar bear, which is three or four meters tall when standing up, would actually wipe its two watery eyes with its broad paws as if crying and wiping tears.
The bear kept crying and staring at Ye Wangxing, whimpering from time to time.
Gu Jin even imagined from that bear face the resentful look that an ancient concubine from the ancient planet gave to the emperor.
But when he turned around, the seemingly calm and indifferent Wen Shi's spirit was not much better.
The snow leopard blinked its watery eyes and sobbed from its nose from time to time, appearing to be afraid to cry out loud. One could not help but want to scratch its chin and give this poor thing some spiritual comfort.
Gu Jin felt that his worldview had been slightly impacted. He covered his frightened heart and finally looked in the direction of the guard leader's spirit body.
He thought that the captain of the guard who spoke so harshly would not do this.
And it was indeed the fact. Snow Wolf did not blink his watery eyes or wipe his tears with a look of grievance like his other two brothers.
——He burst into tears.
"Woof woof woof woof..."
The moment Gu Jin looked over, the Snow Wolf suddenly woofed and cried miserably.
Moreover, the sound of the snow wolf's cry is neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to achieve a surround sound effect.
This made the expressions of the three people who were angry just now suddenly stiff.
This voice also woke up Ye Wangxing who was sitting on the sofa.
He seemed to be immersed in what the two brothers had said before, and there were blood stains on his hands and mouth, probably from biting himself because he felt too guilty just now.
After hearing the cry of the snow wolf, he immediately stood up and walked forward a few steps, trying to comfort the crying snow wolf.
But…he stopped halfway through the walk, his expression becoming a little hesitant, as if he was wondering whether he was qualified to offer comfort.
He finally remembered to use the holographic screen. He directly controlled the holographic screen to display:
"I'm really sorry for what happened in the past, and I really shouldn't have blamed you for it. I know you're angry, but..."
"I'm not a qualified father. I don't know what you need. In fact, I don't know how I should compensate you, and I don't know how to comfort you. I didn't even think that your mood swings would be so great."
Ye Wangxing said this with a wry smile.
"Even the self-righteous compensation I gave you before is something you don't need..."
Gu Jin frowned when he heard Ye Wangxing's words. What previous compensation? Could it be that Ye Wangxing had met the three brothers before?
That's impossible. At the banquet, they all looked like they were meeting Ye Wangxing for the first time.
Gu Jin frowned, and Wen Shi seemed a little impatient and said:
"…You don't even want to meet us, and we don't want your things."
Gu Jin was now certain that they had really contacted each other through other means before, but how exactly did they get in touch?
As he thought about it, his plans for the people in front of him changed a little.
It is obvious that the three of them still have some feelings for Ye Wangxing, so they cannot be allowed to unite.
Just as Gu Jin came to this conclusion, he looked up and saw Ye Wangxing writing on the holographic screen with a melancholy look:
"At that time, I had no choice, and the environment was not suitable for us to meet. Besides..."
"I don't think you want to see me."
As soon as Ye Wangxing said this, Wen Shi immediately said angrily:
"It's you who thinks, have you ever asked us? That's what you thought when you left! It's you who don't want to see us now, it's you who thinks! Ye Wangxing, you've always been so self-righteous!"
Along with Wen Shi's furious voice, the big polar bear next to him sobbed again, buried his face in his paws, and seemed to be crying even harder.
Fortunately, he did not cry out in shame like his brother, and Ye Wangxing did not look at him, but his body shook subconsciously, and he looked as if he was frightened.
This made Wen Shi subconsciously lower the volume of his next sentence.
"...Anyway, don't always think so. Even if you are a mute and can't speak, can't you send us a message and ask us?"
After Wen Shi finished speaking, he realized that he had subconsciously become soft-hearted again, so he sat down, turned his head and looked out the window, staring outside in silence.
Gu Jin noticed the helplessness in Wen Shi’s eyes and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Are you being soft-hearted? It turns out that the previous plan does need to be adjusted."
Just as Gu Jin was thinking about it, Wen Shi's words made Ye Wangxing's eyes, which had already lost their luster, light up.
When he looked at Wen Shi who was silent, his eyes became a little happier.
After Wen Shi's attitude softened, Viscount Cecil and the captain of the guard were no longer as sharp as before.
"…I will be busy with the news about the establishment of the logistics network recently, so I will be staying at my biological father's house."
Viscount Cecil was silent for a while before speaking. Then the captain of the guards put on his fake smile and said:
"I have applied for leave during this period and will also be living in my biological father's home."
Although their voices were not as soft as Wen Shi's when they spoke to Ye Wangxing, their voices were still hard, but the information revealed in their words made Ye Wangxing happy.
Even Ye Wangxing's entire face looked like it was glowing.
After a quick thought, Gu Jin realized that this was the information they released so that Ye Wangxing could find them in these places and make what they called compensation.
Ou Che, who was standing by, had obviously thought of this as well, and he sighed once again:
"As expected, there are no bad parents in the world. These young people still have feelings for their adoptive fathers. Now it depends on how Ye Wangxing makes it up to them."
Ou Che sat lazily on the chair, looking at the situation below, and said with interest:
"I'm really looking forward to how Ye Wangxing will make up for them. If they were just a few ordinary children, they could just spend some money on them, but who can blame these three for their achievements? My dear queen, this is going to be a problem."
Ou Che actually seemed to be gloating as he spoke.
But he did stay out of it.
After all, this matter had no impact on him. If Ye Wangxing reconciled with the three upstarts, his throne would not be shaken; if Ye Wangxing broke with them, he could also kick Ye Wangxing out of the position of queen.
The only one affected was Gu Jin.
So although Gu Jin looked like he was smiling, he had actually cursed Ou Che a thousand times in his heart. If he hadn't been so slow, how could he still be entangled in such a matter?
——Wouldn’t it be enough for him to just throw the person to those three upstarts and let them solve it themselves?
Why should I worry about Ye Wangxing’s affairs?
Gu Jin cursed Ou Che in his heart while looking at the three people below. If these three people and Ye Wangxing joined forces, he might not be able to compete with Ye Wangxing for the position of queen.
——For the sake of these three upstarts, the ministers of the entire empire would push Ye Wangxing to the position of queen.
Caught up in such a wave, his only function may be to give birth to children for the emperor.
Gu Jin narrowed his eyes, looked at Ou Che who was leisurely beside him, and then looked at Ye Wangxing below.
A plan suddenly took shape in his mind.
"Your Majesty, are you here?"
Gu Jin hurriedly sent Ou Che away, fearing that he would affect his plans. After tidying up his clothes, he ran into Ye Wangxing who had just left the box by chance.
After he and Ye Wangxing met face to face, Gu Jin realized that the petite-looking Queen in front of him was actually not much shorter than him.
It's just that he often wears complicated dresses, sits on the large queen's chair, and his overly fair skin makes him look like a small porcelain doll.
——Of course, contrast is also important.
Ou Che is 1.9 meters tall, and he likes to wear high-heeled boots. In addition, his spiritual body lion is also huge. Against these backgrounds, it is normal for Her Majesty the Queen without her spiritual body to look petite and pitiful.
But now is not the time to worry about height. He came here to help Her Royal Highness the Queen solve her problems.
Gu Jin thought about it and started talking to Her Majesty the Queen with a smile. His skills had indeed not declined. In just a few words, he led Her Majesty the Queen to a private room.
As a royal club, the service here is indeed in place. Ou Che had just left, and they had already eliminated all traces of Ou Che.
Ye Wangxing looked a little nervous. After all, he was just cowardly, not stupid, and he knew that the man in front of him was the emperor's lover.
He subconsciously shrank himself, and his body began to tremble slightly.
Such a Ye Wangxing made Gu Jin reject his previous guess.
After seeing Ye Wangxing's performance in front of his three adopted sons, he began to doubt whether Ye Wangxing's previous cowardice was just pretend.
Now, after coming into direct contact with Ye Wangxing, I understand that the reason why he was so at ease in front of those three adopted sons was probably because his huge guilt towards them overwhelmed the cowardice in his heart.
Now that his adopted son was gone, he naturally returned to his previous state.
Gu Jin thought about it, and spoke to Ye Wangxing with a very friendly smile on his face, making it clear that he had no ill intentions and just happened to run into him.
"...After all, you don't like His Majesty, so why should I target you? Political issues don't mean we can't be friends in private, right?"
As Gu Jin spoke, he also used the news to tell the gossip that members of the two parties in the empire had done in the toilet. His bluntness made Her Majesty the Queen in front of him shrink back again.
Fortunately, Ye Wangxing's expression relaxed a lot, and Gu Jin also stopped while he was ahead and started asking about the three adopted sons.
He pretended that he had overheard some words and came over to ask Her Majesty the Queen if there was anything she needed help with.
"...After all, they are your Majesty's adopted sons, and they will contribute to the empire in the future. Why shouldn't I help them?"
Gu Jin shrugged and said with a relaxed look.
Although the queen still seemed a little hesitant, under Gu Jin's eloquence, she finally revealed the matter through the holographic screen. Although some parts were concealed, the general facts were clear.
The maid behind Her Majesty the Queen, on the other hand, showed a very professional and nervous expression. However, as someone who had seen this maid several times and heard her report on the situation, Gu Jin did not pay attention to her, but just said with a worried look:
"…So now you are worried about how to give those people gifts to seek forgiveness, right?"
Her Majesty the Queen nodded, with a look of embarrassment and hesitation. Gu Jin naturally began to make suggestions in a generous manner:
"...First, you have to determine what they like. For example, if you give Viscount Cecil a mecha as a gift, he will definitely not like it. But if you give him a planet, he might hesitate, after all, he might just need this planet for vacation."
Gu Jin continued, "There are also young people like the captain of the guard. They must like some exciting occasions. You can take him there in person and I guarantee he will like it. And Colonel Wen Shi..."
When it comes to Wen, Gu Jin hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure about him, but maybe a mecha is a good idea."
Gu Jin’s suggestion was very reliable, which made Ye Wangxing gradually change from being hesitant at the beginning to believing it.
Even his eyes became much gentler, which was something Gu Jin had not expected.
He really didn't expect that the queen would be so gullible, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Although his suggestion is reliable, it is like a DNA test showing that the genetic ratio is 99% overlapped. It seems close, but in fact it is completely different.
After all, Cecil still lacks planets? The chief of guards still lacks exciting places?
As for Wen Shi, there is no need to mention it. He already has several customized mechas, and giving more away would not have a very good effect.
But Gu Jin still did not stop. How much is conscience worth? Can it help him gain power and status?
He also said: "Perhaps you can also give them some words of advice from their fathers. After all, although their achievements are similar to yours now, some of the experiences from the elders are unimaginable to young people."
Gu Jin spoke softly and guided the queen to write a few words on the holographic screen.
Afterwards, Gu Jin spoke to these adjusted daddy voices, looking very satisfied both on the surface and in his heart.
These remarks seemed fine at first glance, but they would definitely make the three of them extremely angry on the spot.
——Gu Jin just didn’t believe that a child who was having a quarrel with his parents would not get angry when he saw his father say, "Although I am blah blah, it is not easy for me either"!
Gu Jin thought with a smile.
However, after a few days, Gu Jin could no longer laugh.
Gu Jin looked at the information in front of him, his pupils trembling slightly.
Ye Wangxing did exactly what he said.
There are some daddy-like remarks, and the gifts remain unchanged.
——But he didn't let Ye Wangxing come to his house in person with that timid, pitiful and beautiful face, bringing gifts and speaking in a fatherly manner!
