Chapter 159
With Wen Shi disrupting things, the banquet ended in a whimper.
After all, Wen Shicai had won a battle and was an imperial hero who thwarted the rebels' conspiracy. Even though he was just a child from a poor noble family, it was difficult for the emperor and the nobles to take action against Wen Shi in the current situation.
However, although she failed to take Ye Wangxing down and judged Ye Wangxing as a criminal at this banquet, fortunately the divorce procedure has already been initiated. It only takes a few more months for Ye Wangxing to give up the position of queen.
Besides, Ye Wangxing's reputation is almost ruined now. After all, he concealed his love history and abandoned his child to accept bribes. These charges are enough to bring Ye Wangxing to court.
Maybe Ou Che can take this opportunity to erase the record of his first marriage.
...Then this position will welcome its true owner.
Thinking of this, when Ou Che left, the expression on his face was not as tense as before.
Gu Jin's expression was still very calm, but when he turned around, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and in this gloom, there was also some uneasiness, as if the scene in front of him did not meet his expectations.
But he soon comforted himself. After all, even if he failed to force the emperor to abdicate, only the people at the banquet knew about it.
At most, it is an internal problem of the royal family. When he takes the position of queen, who will pay attention to the former queen?
Gu Jin thought about it and a gentle expression appeared on his face.
However, Gu Jin, who had not returned to the capital planet for a long time, obviously had no idea how crazy the imperial tabloids were at the moment.
So...
"Shocking! A bloody love triangle unfolds at the Imperial Dinner, and the Mute Queen is publicly executed—the gilded toilet." Ou Che is exposed as a gigolo, and the 'white vixen' Earl Gu relies entirely on his subordinates for his military success!"
Gu Jin's pupils trembled as he looked at the news headlines from tabloids and self-media on the hot search.
"——How dare they!!"
But it turns out that the Empire tabloids not only dared, but were also very brave.
In this interstellar age where words alone are not punishable, the imperial tabloids used their utmost imagination to describe yesterday's banquet in a way that was full of twists and turns and unpredictable, attracting a lot of attention.
——I just don’t know which sentence is true and which is false.
However, the public obviously enjoyed the event and did not care at all how busy the royal offices in the palace were.
In a seemingly ordinary community on the capital planet, the rebels whose conspiracy was said to have been thwarted were laughing like animals while reading the Imperial tabloids in the base.
The rebel leader was so frightened when she came in that she almost thought she had entered a farm.
"What happened?"
The leader put down the bag she was carrying - she had just returned from tutoring and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
And a rebel with a goose-like laugh said:
"Chief, look at this! Oh my god! I never knew the reporters on the Capital Planet had such good writing skills. They never spare any effort in mocking the royal family. I'll have to apply to headquarters later. I wonder if we can recruit them."
A report appeared on the intelligent computer in his hand, and the rebel handed the holographic screen to the leader.
The leader took the holographic screen and saw that it was a report on the banquet held on the capital planet last night.
——How did these tabloid reporters get into the palace where not even a mosquito can fit in?
The chief thought with his mouth twitching, but his eyes were still on the report.
"...When His Majesty Ou Che walked into the banquet hall holding Earl Gu's hand, the entire galaxy heard the sound of heartbreak—of course, not our mute queen's, after all, her genes had stripped her of even the right to scream. The heartbreaking sound belonged to all the nobles present who coveted the position of queen."
"This Majesty, who relies on his ancestral spirit to maintain his dignity, is scanning his legal spouse with the same gaze as if he were looking at expired canned food, yet turning to offer his former lover a spring-like smile. It seems our Majesty has completely forgotten that his legal spouse was personally chosen by his beloved mother."
"Our dear Majesty will probably be spanked by the Queen Mother when he returns home."
These reports alone are damaging enough, and they are simply trampling on the reputation of the royal family.
However, even worse is yet to come.
"...I wonder what Earl Gu's subordinates would think if they saw their military exploits become stepping stones for Earl Gu to become the Queen. After all, the most famous of his subordinates is Lieutenant Colonel Wen Shi, who thwarted the rebels' plot. Compared to our current General Gu, he is nothing."
"But who cares about them? After all, they're just a bunch of ordinary commoners and the children of fallen nobles—they should be grateful to have the support of the future queen."
If the previous mocking of the emperor could be considered the tabloid's own style, now this statement is simply an attack directed at Gu Jin.
The words were so sharp that the leader's eyes widened, wondering if these people on the capital planet could really say this?
But these tabloid reporters know the bottom line better than the leader, so...
They chose to treat everyone equally.
"...Now let's focus on the climax of the banquet, when Count Andre exposed the Queen's falsification of her age! My God, this accusation is like accusing a rose of having thorns - who doesn't know that our poor Queen Ye was tied to the wedding car by the Queen Mother?"
"But for him, being tucked into a lace dress is better than wasting his life in an aristocratic family that only needs someone to marry into. After all, a poor vase that wouldn't make a sound when it breaks, at least in this position, can be adorned with gold foil."
In this report where even the dumb ones were kicked, others were simply unable to escape.
Count Andre, who spoke for the emperor, was ridiculed as a guy who would happily agree to push the emperor's butt on the bed when asked by the emperor.
The other nobles in society were ridiculed one after another as toads seeing a white swan.
The leader was actually happy to hear this. After all, the emergence of such reports meant that the royal family's control over the entire empire was weakening.
It seems that they deliberately showed weakness and suffered a defeat, which almost caused the empire's defense line to disappear.
The leader thought.
However, when she swiped down again, a familiar name appeared in front of her.
Just then, the door of the house was pushed open.
After the visitor closed the door, he revealed a fierce face with a buzz cut and his signature silver hair.
However, before the man could say anything, the leader menacingly thrust the holographic screen in his hand in front of the man's face.
"—Wen! Shi! I asked you to find out the empire's military secrets! Not to seduce someone else's queen!"
"Besides, what could possibly attract you to that queen?"
Then the leader saw Wen Shi and thought seriously and said:
“…He’s very good-looking.”
Seeing the serious leader: ...
“Bang!”
Just when the leader was speechless, the sudden crisp sound of glass breaking made everyone present look over there.
The man standing over there had dark circles under his eyes and looked very tired, but now he was staring at Wen Shi in amazement.
There was only one thought in my mind:
"——Would it be ethically acceptable for an adopted son to pursue his adoptive father without his knowledge?"
Yes, adoptive father.
The mysterious financial backer who provided their organization with high maintenance fees and solved their urgent needs countless times was actually the adoptive father of the three Wen brothers.
She is also the current empress of the empire - Ye Wangxing.
In fact, what happened back then was very simple. In order to obtain aristocratic household registration, the undocumented boy on Black Star married a down-and-out noble who had drifted to Black Star, and took on the responsibility of taking care of the three brothers.
But the good times did not last long. The father of the three brothers died, and they only had one chance to return to the capital star.
So the undocumented boy chose to go to the capital planet by himself, leaving his three brothers directly in the orphanage on Black Star, and even only left some meager support.
Although the illegal immigrant wrote on the ground that he would definitely pay before leaving, Teacher Li did not believe it.
After all, there are too many Black Star people who have walked out like this, but without exception, they all regard Black Star as their shame.
They will do their best to conceal the fact that they came from Black Star, and they would like to kill everyone who knew them on Black Star in the past.
The fact that this illegal immigrant disappeared without saying goodbye for two years seemed to prove this point.
but……
When the communication number lit up after a long absence, Teacher Li's first reaction was that the illegal immigrant had encountered some accident.
Then he was met with a pitiful face - a face he had just seen at the royal wedding.
If the boy hadn't spoken in the same tone as before, Teacher Li almost thought that the communication number had fallen into the hands of the royal family.
But it was obvious that he was an illegal immigrant. Teacher Li then realized that the reason he had not been able to be contacted in the past two years was that he had been under surveillance by that aristocratic family and he did not have much money.
Now that he had enough money after experiencing what everyone knows, he immediately contacted Teacher Li.
Then Teacher Li was forced to accept a large sum of child support - the kind of child support that could allow each of the three Wen brothers to eat with a golden bowl.
Teacher Li refused, but it was obvious that he did not understand the tyranny of the rich.
He could only be forced to accept it. Of course, he also reported the matter to the organization. He did not disclose the current identity of the illegal boy - after all, this identity was really too sensitive.
However, the leader had no objection to deducting money from the nobles, but still asked Teacher Li to ask the three brothers what they thought.
"After all, that was the money their adoptive father gave them, albeit two years late."
Teacher Li also sighed. Most of the people in the rebel army had poor family backgrounds, and this was the first time they had encountered such a complicated situation.
This also led to Teacher Li's expression being cautious when he asked the three brothers of the Wen family who had already joined the organization for training at that time.
The three brothers were silent for a long time at that time, and finally the eldest brother of the Wen family said that he would not accept the free money if he wanted.
As soon as Teacher Li heard it, he knew that the child must still be holding a grudge, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, he didn't know how the three of them got along. He only knew that on the day the boy left, the youngest one fainted from crying, and even the eldest son of the Wen family had tears in his eyes.
Every family has its own problems, so we can only let that illegal immigrant solve it himself.
This support fee has also solved the organization's urgent needs in countless times of crisis.
However, Teacher Li still found opportunities to chat with Ye Wangxing, hoping to understand his movements.
After all, it would be heartbreaking to let such a big sponsor go or let him go astray.
but……
What Teacher Li didn't expect was that nothing happened to Ye Wangxing.
——Something happened to the three brothers of the Wen family!
Teacher Li couldn't imagine whether Wen Shi would go and demolish the palace or their base after knowing the truth.
He even wanted to ask Ye Wangxing why he didn't want to look at the photos of the three Wen brothers back then, otherwise he wouldn't have failed to recognize his adopted son even though he was right in front of him.
Just as Teacher Li was thinking about it, he heard his communication number ringing.
The ringtone that rang was the one indicating the arrival of the child support he had specially noted for Ye Wangxing.
Teacher Li: “…”
He looked up at Wen Shi who was standing beside him curiously, then turned back to look at the leader, who seemed to understand something from his reaction and had a shocked expression on his face.
He hesitated.
——He turned around and walked back to his room resolutely.
"I'm just a kindergarten teacher and the finance manager is almost dying from overwork. Let them handle this kind of family drama on their own."
Between being a family mediator and being a financial officer, Teacher Li decisively chose to be a financial officer who might die suddenly but would not be in danger of his life.
"I hope Ye Wangxing and Wen Shi can accept the reality when they discover the truth - otherwise Wen Shi's combat base will be lost!"
Teacher Li was praying while making the report.
What he didn't know was that Wen Shi, who in his eyes didn't know the truth, was now talking to his so-called adoptive father in his mind.
Stick it.
[Yijiu, are you getting a little too close to me?]
Ye Wangxing said this somewhat awkwardly - after all, he was very close to Yijiu now, just like when he hadn't discovered his feelings.
Yijiu put one hand on his waist. Although he didn't touch him, if Ye Wangxing moved a little more, he would bump into Yijiu.
"Although it is convenient to read the information this way, do we really need to be so close together?"
Ye Wangxing began to reflect on whether he had unconsciously taken advantage of Yijiu many times before.
But Yijiu said naturally:
[No, host, isn't this our previous state? ]
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Wangxing doubtfully, his golden eyes full of trust.
The words that were on the tip of Ye Wangxing's tongue were blocked and he couldn't say anything.
However, Yijiu seemed to have noticed Ye Wangxing's hesitation. Although there was still trust in his golden eyes, grievance surfaced.
[Host, do you think I'm annoying?]
Although Yijiu still had no expression on his face and even his voice was calm, Ye Wangxing's sense of guilt instantly doubled.
As a human being, he had evil intentions towards an artificial intelligence, but as a result, the artificial intelligence was forced to bear the consequences of his ambivalent behavior. He is simply committing a sin!
——Look at Yijiu now. He has been trained into a pitiful big dog!
Ye Wangxing now despised his love-sick brain, and then after judging from both his emotions and reason that the current situation would not have any impact on his return home, he finally let go of his tense body and leaned silently in Yijiu's arms.
He cursed himself for being useless, but turned around and looked at the mission report and the script setting in front of him honestly.
This time the world is an interstellar palace fighting and rebirth literature, and the main plot of the entire literature revolves around Gu Jin's tragic death in the previous life and his decision to take back everything he had after being reborn.
——Although everything he did was aimed at becoming the Empress Dowager.
But at least she did make it to the border, relied on her memories of her previous life to destroy the rebels' actions, and relied on her military exploits to secure her position as queen.
From this point we can see that this literature is more like court literature than palace fighting literature.
Because the protagonist, the bottom, was determined from the beginning to become the queen mother, and even when the protagonist, the top, Ou Che, cheated on her, he only showed concern on the surface.
Of course, the protagonist did not cheat on his wife intentionally, but was forced to be drugged by the Queen Mother every time and then have sex with other people.
In his previous life, Gu Jin initially trusted Ou Che but later became disillusioned with him. After his rebirth, Gu Jin naturally would not waste time on this matter, but was busy seizing power and winning over the nobles.
It was under such circumstances that the original body became Gu Jin's stepping stone.
The original body and Gu Jin had a natural conflict of interest, and Ou Che also stood on Gu Jin's side. Even with the help of the Queen Mother, the original body became pregnant with Ou Che's child, but she still lost miserably in the end.
Even the fact that he accepted a large amount of bribes to change his age was uncovered. This minor crime, which was not a big deal for a noble, became a capital crime for the original person.
Even though the original body died, it helped Gu Jin make an example of someone to scare the others and established his authority among the nobles.
Afterwards, Gu Jin began to love Ou Che on the surface, but secretly tried to seize power. He used the memories of his previous life to defeat the rebels and then began to win over the nobles, which directly led to the formation of a family.
This is also why the law invited them here.
Long-standing families in human civilization will hinder the development of civilization to some extent.
This is what the law that wants to see itself grow stronger does not want to see.
After receiving the task, Ye Wangxing complained about why he was mute again this time, but he still worked very efficiently.
I quickly got into the mood and started outlining the script.
The original body was a Black Star person. In order to obtain a noble household registration, she married a down-and-out old nobleman and helped raise his children.
But because the old nobleman died and he had no source of income, he simply abandoned the child in an orphanage and chose to go to the capital planet himself, and he has never been heard from since.
——In fact, when Ye Wangxing originally designed this place, he intended to inherit the setting of the original body who had never paid a penny of child support.
But since Yijiu said that if he died after paying the child support, the plot would be even more dramatic and would attract more attention, Ye Wangxing thought about it and finally agreed.
After all, this kind of plot where you kill your enemy only to find out that he is your benefactor is something that the public will enjoy watching no matter where it is.
However, when Ye Wangxing was writing the plot, he obviously did not see Yijiu's cold eyes when he looked at the text.
Of course, Yijiu's expression was not much better when he saw the text, but when his host looked at him, he subconsciously retracted his gaze and reported the current situation to his host seriously.
[Host, the rebels are proceeding according to the original plot, though with some minor deviations. After we arrived in this world, they followed the advice of the three Wen brothers and immediately came to the capital planet, where they happened to pass by the team sent by Gu Jin to eliminate them.]
Yijiu reported the situation, while Ye Wangxing nodded and thought about the current situation.
The rebels have maintained their full manpower, just enough to fight Gu Jin. After all, they are the villains in the original novel. We can't follow the palace route like Gu Jin. Otherwise, with the strengthening of the fate line, we will definitely not be able to defeat Gu Jin in this aspect.
Yijiu also nodded, scanned the situation of the rebels again, and prepared to tailor a plan.
——This is his strong point.
Of course, he did not forget to get closer and closer to his host.
"I'll keep my identity on hold for now. Nine, you should stick to the previous script. If I fake my own death later, it will only draw attention to me."
Ye Wangxing recalled the script he had designed and felt that there were no major problems at the moment. He nodded and stretched, and when he was halfway through stretching, his hand was put down and was caught by Yijiu's other hand.
Ye Wangxing felt that something seemed wrong, but nothing was wrong. After all, Yijiu was still talking to him seriously about the mission.
It was not until Ye Wangxing came out of the system after his head was filled with analysis of the resistance army that he came back to his senses from Yijiu's face.
Back to reality, Ye Wangxing listened to the maid calling him to go to see the Empress Dowager with a serious expression, while thinking about one thing:
——Just now, was Yijiu seducing him?
The Empress Dowager looked at the weak-looking Queen in front of her with a look of disgust.
She still didn't like Ye Wangxing. If he wasn't the most suitable person for this plan, she would never let someone with the appearance she hated the most enter the palace or even become the queen.
However, the Queen Mother did not expect that Ou Che had a completely different taste from his father. His father was obsessed with this kind of delicate appearance.
The Empress Dowager thought with a hint of sarcasm, but when she turned to look at Ye Wangxing, her eyes were filled with a hint of disgust.
"Are you feeling better now? What do you think of what happened before?"
The Empress Dowager's disdain also made the maid, who was seeing the Queen for the first time, look a little sympathetic.
"The queen is truly pitiful. She clearly didn't volunteer to get on the wedding car, nor did she volunteer to become queen, but it became a battleground between mother and son."
The maid thought about it, and her eyes became more compassionate when she saw the pitiful queen who only opened the smart brain to write down her thoughts after getting the permission of the empress dowager.
But he didn't notice that the Queen Mother took a deep breath silently, as if she was preparing herself mentally.
"...Does even using the intelligent computer to write require the Queen Mother's permission?"
The sympathy in the maid's eyes was almost overflowing.
Then she saw the Queen write on the holographic screen:
{Ou Che is an idiot!}
maid:"……????"
The Empress Dowager did not notice the confused maid. She looked at Ye Wangxing, who was weak but righteous in front of her, and once again felt fortunate that she had revoked his permission to use the intelligent computer to speak in public places such as banquets.
——Otherwise, God knows what this kid will say!
