Chapter 42 I used to be an actor
"You mean, after Si Yun set off, Si Cheng secretly ran away on his own spaceship?"
The emperor gently stirred the amber-colored tea in her cup with a spoon, her posture relaxed and her speech unhurried, making the secret meeting feel like an afternoon tea session.
Over the years, Yixiu Jie has become accustomed to her style.
"Yes, on the day Si Yun set off, Si Cheng flew his spaceship alone to meet his lover who lived on planet B11, which is next to Wanshuang Star, and then left. He did not land on any planet after that."
Chief Minister of the Security Department, Setsuna Etsushi, entered a coordinate on a virtual map in the center of the conference table.
"According to experts, his final destination is here."
The emperor looked at the fluorescent orange dots marked on the virtual universe map, unimpressed. "I don't care where his final destination is. You know, this isn't a treasure hunt game."
"Immediately have the people tracking us arrest them. We need to let the people know as soon as possible who has brought our empire to this state."
There is currently no concrete evidence to identify the driver and passenger.
The emperor's attitude was clear: someone had to be held responsible for the insect infestation. Since Sicheng had fled in the face of danger, he was destined to take the blame.
"Yes." He immediately sent a message on his terminal.
Emperor: "Where are the rest of the Si family?"
"Mrs. Sicheng is still playing cards with other ladies on Frost Star. Her son, Sihua, has been taken into custody on Mining Star. As for Siyun..."
"It is not yet certain whether she actually perished in the explosion. Videos were transmitted from the starship's departure until it reached the vicinity of C03, but the connection between the starship and the security department was severed after the insectoids swarmed out. As for the transmitted video footage, after inspection by professionals, everything within that range was confirmed to be normal."
Emperor: "Just issue an arrest warrant."
It doesn't matter where Si Yun is now. Even if she is really dead, they can make it look like she is still alive and then punish her according to the law to appease public anger.
Yi Xiujie: "Yes."
The Emperor: "Alright, you may leave."
As Eulshu left the meeting hall, he was then confronted by five or six ministers from the military.
He glanced at it and found that the Red Jing Army, the Wen Shui Army, and the Wan Shuang Army all had them.
His gaze swept lightly across the face of Zhong Feichen, the general of the Wanshuang Army. It seemed that he was the emperor's pawn in the Wanshuang Army.
Oops, I guessed wrong.
I'm going to lose money.
He left with a sad expression.
Zhong Feichen was baffled. "What's with that expression, Mr. Yi?"
General Ye Hen of the Hongjing Army smiled and said, "Perhaps His Majesty has assigned him some difficult task."
As someone who shared the same path, she saw right through Etsuyoshi's mindset.
Because she guessed wrong too.
Let her think about it; it seems like she lost a million star coins.
Haha, thinking about it, it's not that much, it's just that I'll be scolded by my Omega at home for a whole week.
"What did you gamble on in private?" the emperor asked, smiling at them.
Zhong Feichen was still very young, not yet thirty. This was his first time entering the conference hall, and he was so shocked by the emperor's seemingly caring but actually interrogative questions that he dared not speak.
Ye Hen gritted his teeth, his smile twisted, "Your Majesty, you must know."
Zhong Feichen feared the emperor, but she did not.
The two, young but down-on-their-luck, met in the Red Army and have been friends for nearly twenty years.
The emperor clasped his hands together on the table, his smile deepening. "I heard I won nearly twenty million star coins."
Yehen almost bit his back teeth to pieces.
The ministers' gambling game, and the emperor's salary recovery plan.
She couldn't figure out what had gotten into her back then, choosing "Si Yun".
There's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between a father and daughter. She ignored the power of blood ties; she hated it.
The emperor, pleased with the sight of the usually imposing generals at the conference table, their faces ashen from losing money, said, "Mo Cheng, you will explain the arrangements for the future."
Strategy Officer Mo Cheng pressed a button, and a virtual 3D map unfolded in the center of the conference table.
The expressions of the people at the conference table gradually turned serious.
On the map, several red arrows mark the point where the Imperial border meets Dunlin.
Mo Cheng: "This is a weak point in Dunlin's defenses. We can send a medium-sized mech squad to attack from here first..."
After he finished speaking, the emperor said, "General Ye Hen, you will be in charge of this attack."
"Wen Shuijun will take over the Central Star Guardian."
"yes."
"yes."
"As for the remaining insectoid beasts, have your Frost Army begin the search, checking each planet in reverse order of the list Si Yun previously announced. If they happen to discover a black crystal mine, contact the Mining Bureau immediately."
Zhong Feichen: "Yes."
After the tasks were assigned, everyone packed up and left, leaving only the Emperor and Zhong Feichen behind.
He handed the emperor a personal profile, "Your Majesty, as you instructed, I have been comparing Si Yun's whereabouts since ten years ago..."
The emperor opened the documents,
The first page is a passport photo of a blonde female Alpha standing in the picture.

After Hengxing's treatment was finished, the treatment chamber lid was opened, and she climbed out to change back into her own clothes.
The two returned to their dormitory.
After taking a shower, Yu Nianqing stood by the window and looked at the sky.
The planet's protective shield gave the inky sky a bluish hue.
He turned his head and secretly glanced at Hengxing, only to find that she was also secretly looking at him.
He felt that Hengxing was a little different tonight, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Remembering the empty promise Heng Xing had given him at noon, he turned around and asked, "Captain Heng, were you spying on me?"
Heng Xing retorted confidently, "What are you talking about? I've been watching you like this all night, not peeking."
Judging from her expression, Yu Nianqing vaguely sensed something. "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Then it closed again.
Once she realized her own feelings, she immediately wanted to be honest with Yu Nianqing.
After a brief period of passion, she fell into a cliché dilemma: "What if he doesn't like me anymore? Wouldn't it be awkward if we couldn't even be friends? Wouldn't it be better not to be honest?"
Therefore, she decided to think things through herself first, starting with the little things in life.
Heng Xing had been staring at his face ever since she left the treatment pod, recalling their daily interactions in her mind as she did so.
The fundamental question of life: "Does he like me?"
So far, I can only recall him making a cake for me, and I feel that he at least had some feelings for me. But this thought was immediately pushed aside by the "suspension bridge effect," so I'm not sure and I'm still struggling with it.
Seeing her dazed expression, Yu Nianqing called her again, "Captain Heng?"
Heng Xing: "Huh?"
Yu Nianqing: "Have you forgotten something?"
Hengxing: ?
No, she remembers every memory of the two of them very clearly, from the mining planet to Yula University and then to the hospital.
Yu Nianqing: "What I mean is, you just promised me that once you get the terminal, you will tell me everything I want to know."
Hengxing: "Oh, what do you want to know?"
"My real age?"
Yu Nianqing: "Yes, you know, I want to know more than just that. I also want to know about your legs, and what's going on with the toxins in your blood?"
Hearing this, Heng Xing leaned back on the sofa and chuckled mischievously, "Heh, guess."
How could you do this?
Yu Nianqing laughed, "Then, I guessed?"
Yu Nianqing: "My previous guess was that you might have been working for your boss in some underground organization, and then one day you suddenly realized the truth and decided to quit. But your boss was worried that you would report him to the outside world, so he injected you with an addictive toxin that only he had an antidote for. You tried your best to escape, but in the end you were forced to keep one leg."
Hengxing: "Goose goose goose..."
Yu Nianqing walked back with shame and indignation, and sat down next to her. "Captain Heng, stop laughing. My guess is still quite reasonable."
He continued to let his thoughts wander, "It might be on the mining planet. I saw online that there was an unregistered illegal mine there, which was reported after we left the mining planet. The news said that the boss bought people from pirates to mine, and you might be kidnapping poor laborers for him."
Yu Nianqing: "Hey, what do you think?"
Heng Xing told the truth: "I did report that illegal mine."
"So I guessed right?!"
He continued, "Following this line of thought, you stole your old spaceship from the boss?"
Hengxing: "I didn't guess right, but your way of thinking is quite reasonable."
She stood up, walked to the window, and closed it. "I met those two human traffickers at the Spring Spring black market. They pretended to be trying to sell me to Koze at a very low price, but actually they wanted to sell me to work in the mines. But I cleverly turned the tables and changed the name of the spaceship's owner."
Yu Nianqing: "Is that so? And then you ran into me just as you were about to leave the mining planet?"
Hengxing: "Hey, this is real."
Yu Nianqing: "What about your actual experiences before?"
Heng Xing returned to the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, and murmured, "Actually, I'm not really sure either."
Yu Nianqing: "Just talk about the aspects you're clear on."
Heng Xing: "Is it clear? Um, I am indeed 29 this year."
"And then?" Yu Nianqing pressed. "I don't believe you lied simply because you didn't want to reveal your age. There must be other reasons."
"Captain Heng, think carefully, what are you lying about to prevent me from knowing?"
Hengxing asked himself, "What don't I want you to know?"
She thought for a moment and chose to be direct: "I used to be Si Yun."
Yu Nianqing didn't frown. "Huh?"
He then said with some disappointment, "Captain Heng, if you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask anymore."
Hengxing could tell he didn't believe her, so she solemnly repeated, "I once played the role of Siyun."
Seeing her certainty, Yu Nianqing's smile faded. "What do you mean? When did this happen?"
"From ten years ago to a few months ago."
Heng Xing said, "Ten years ago, I took a starship to the Imperial Military Academy. That day, my hometown, Keze Star, exploded. I wanted to avenge my father, so I agreed to play the role of his daughter and go to various stars to kill the insect beasts."
Yu Nianqing remembered her hospital gown, pajamas, and her disabled right leg, and knew she was serious.
"So you were the one who was awarded the title of Marshal by the Emperor?"
Hengxing: "Mm."
"So the person I met before was you?"
Heng Xing scratched his head. "I guess so."
He suddenly remembered something, and his voice trembled slightly, "So are you pretending not to know me, or do you have no impression of me at all?"
Heng Xing hurriedly explained, "I haven't finished yet. I was in an explosion last year, do you remember?"
Yu Nianqing: "Mm."
Heng Xing: "After I woke up at Chunquan Hospital, I found that I had amnesia. I had lost the memories of the middle ten years."
"In that case, my story is a bit more outrageous than the one you made up."
Yu Nianqing struggled to process this massive amount of information. "So, in your mind, you're still 18 years old this year?"
Heng Xing: "Strictly speaking, it's 19."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I didn't mean to lie to you. After all, we weren't that familiar with each other before, so there are some things I can't explain."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yu Nianqing cautiously and found that he did not have the sadness and pain she had imagined after being deceived. Instead, he was a little excited and asked her repeatedly, "So, Captain Heng, the Si Yun I met before was actually you."
Heng Xing: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I..."
Yu Nianqing comforted her instead, "It's okay, we can talk it out now."
Heng Xing looked confused. "Hmm."
That's true, but why do you look so happy?
Yu Nianqing got up to go to the water bar for a drink, and the smile on her lips was almost impossible to hide.
According to this, his pheromone level is highly compatible with Captain Heng's.
Captain Heng didn't react to his pheromones simply because she had a health problem.
This was truly the happiest news for him in the past few weeks.
Author's Note: Hengxing: Did I provoke him? ???
