Carolina interrogated Feng Shixu.
He claimed that he received a rescue request from the First Fleet while on cruise and went to the scene, and a complete rescue record was also preserved on the computer.
But the exact coordinates of his rescue mission were nearly one-third of the empire away from the exact mission point.
Carolina couldn't be sure whether Feng Shixu was a savior or a perpetrator.
"Ever since Shen Que's defeat, I've been constantly testing the leadership of the seven fleets. With only Feng Shixu, I can't tell their side," she said truthfully.
"What was the mission that Shen Que was carrying out at that time?" Pei Ji couldn't help asking.
According to regulations, after an S-level mission is completed and sealed, even the executor himself has no right to know the content of the mission.
But Carolina said he had special privileges tonight.
Carolina glanced at Pei Ji and said frankly, "It's the mutant element."
"Two years ago, the Imperial Court received news that a drug capable of transforming humans into insects had appeared near the Eden system. I sent people to investigate for nearly a year and finally discovered the location of a laboratory."
"After consultation with members of the High Council, we have decided to send the First Fleet to retrieve the samples."
"All those who knew about this had artificial memory modules implanted. In the end... only Shen Que survived."
Pei Ji was silent for a while: "I am worried about letting Chen Que and Feng Shixu be in the same group."
For a person whose position even Carolina can't tell, is he a human or a ghost under his skin?
If it was him who plotted against Shen Que last time, how could he let Shen Que take the risk again this time?
Pei Ji was extremely worried about Carolina's decision.
"There is no more suitable person than him." Carolina took a sip of tea.
"I can go." Pei Ji had almost no hesitation.
Carolina raised an eyebrow, "You?"
She snorted, "Go and look after Lu Sirang."
Pei Ji clenched his hands on the table slightly, "What if I don't want to?"
"Don't want to?" Carolina suddenly smiled, "There are always many people who don't want to in this world."
She skimmed the tea foam gently with the cup lid.
Like skimming off a layer of dust.
"Do you think I want to sit on this throne?"
"My dream as a child was to be a pastry chef, open a dessert shop, and happily pipe cream and bake cookies every day."
"I'm not facing a mountain of documents, worrying about which idiotic lord is evading taxes again, or which idiotic councilor is opposing my decision."
"I want to have a daughter and a son, eat every meal with my family, close the shop during the winter and summer holidays, and travel the stars as a family."
She finished her half-cold tea and calmly watched the little robot refill her cup.
"For Carolina, being a king is worse than being a waiter in a coffee shop every day."
Pei Ji looked at Carolina steadily.
Her Majesty the Queen of the Ikaros Empire put aside her arrogance and looked at the tea with a gentleness in her eyes that he had never seen before.
"But there's no way."
She raised her eyes again.
"I promised a man that I would protect his empire and his people."
"This is my destiny."
Becoming the empress of the Ikaros Empire is Carolina's destiny after she falls in love with Chen Lu.
