The candy distribution activity was successfully completed thanks to Donald's generous dedication, and Pei Ji officially entered a window period from that evening.
He originally planned to be a leg pendant, going wherever his Omega went.
But he soon discovered something.
Shen Que's condition is not very good.
"You are going to the Sky Crystal tomorrow... Are you listening to me, baby?" Pei Ji shook Shen Que who was leaning on him in a daze.
The Omega raised his eyes, glanced at him, and nodded.
"Are you okay?" Pei Ji touched his forehead with the back of his hand.
"A little... hot."
Shen Que pursed his lips, his face flushed with peach pink, and his light-colored thin lips became a little rosy after being wet.
It makes his face look clearer.
Pei Ji's heart skipped a beat.
...The freshly ripe peaches from Oasis are probably just like this.
His heart began to beat wildly.
"Why don't we postpone tomorrow's event..." Pei Ji resisted the urge to kiss her, "I'll help you buy the tickets."
After learning that Chen Que was approaching her estrus period, all the little things that he had previously ignored, such as pheromone leakage and clinginess... all became serious in Pei Ji's eyes.
Shen Que chuckled softly, “Why don’t you vote for yourself, third from the bottom?”
"I moved up two positions in one day. Do I need to cheat for such a strong record?" Pei Ji said confidently, "But your ranking is very close to Jiang Jianyue's. What if she surpasses you if you don't participate in activities and cheat?"
The smile on Shen Que's lips did not disappear, and he moved his head from Pei Ji's shoulder to his arms.
Pei Ji took advantage of the situation and circled him.
"Can you please not go to the event tomorrow?"
No Alpha would want an Omega approaching estrus to appear in public.
"Now is a critical period." Shen Que leaned in Pei Ji's arms.
Pei Ji felt bitter, "Can't you just leave everything to me?"
Shen Que shook his head.
He didn't want Pei Ji to face everything about Messiah alone.
Complex party struggles were not something he was good at.
Pei Ji was suited to killing enemies on the battlefield, and Shen Que felt guilty about dragging him into the internal strife of the imperial court.
Pei Ji looked at the person in his arms, his eyes drooping.
"Am I so unreliable?" he asked gloomily.
“Very reliable…” Shen Que was a little tired.
He was almost forced into estrus today, and was tormented again by Pei Ji's mental power. His slightly hot body seemed to be floating in the clouds.
"Now, could you, Reliable Admiral, give me some more pheromones? I want to sleep..."
Sighing silently, Pei Ji skillfully released an appropriate amount of pheromones to him.
After the person in his arms slowly closed his eyes, Pei Ji carried Chen Que back to the bedroom and gently tucked him into the quilt.
Before leaving, Shen Que woke up again and hugged his waist weakly.
Pei Ji held him for a while and patted his back gently as he usually did when he was sick.
Shen Que's body had long been accustomed to Pei Ji's comfort, and after a while his breathing became long again.
After confirming that Shen Que was fast asleep, Pei Ji adjusted the pheromone concentration in the room and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
It's really annoying.
Pei Ji returned to the living room and sat on the sofa, feeling melancholy.
He found that he was unwilling to participate in the subsequent activities no matter what.
Even if Shen Que refused, he was unwilling to do so.
But what if he didn't participate? Many things were still unclear. Would he have to solve everything and leave Shen Que alone in the imperial court?
And their plans...
Pei Ji's gaze fell on an empty spot in the room.
My thoughts go back to two days ago, after the league's opening dance.
Shen Que put forward the conclusion that Feng Shixu was neither on their side nor on the other side.
"You mean Feng Shixu is actually the princess's man?" Pei Ji understood Shen Que's hint.
"It's likely," Shen Que said, "but I'm more inclined to believe that he shares the same stance as the princess, but has his own logic behind his actions."
"The princess was in the Sea of Life when the First Fleet was defeated. She didn't know I was injured, so Feng Shixu decided to conceal some of the facts from His Majesty."
"Then what are you going to do?" Pei Ji asked.
"Let's start with the princess." Shen Que said, "She is the key point in this coup."
Pei Ji frowned, "That person doesn't even want to look at me."
"She also hid a lot of things from me." Shen Que said, "This is her shortcoming, and also her weakness. Do you remember what I said before, that she tends to oversimplify many things?"
Pei Ji recalled that Shen Que had indeed said this when he commented on the princess's persistence in studying the Sea of Life.
Shen Que: "She pays too much attention to things she thinks are important, and too little attention to things she doesn't think are important."
"She'll be wary of me, but she'll ignore you."
Pei Ji: "...I don't like what you said."
Shen Que: "Don't confront her head-on, test her bottom line, and then..."
He paused.
"Play dirty with her."
…
The two had intended to induce the princess to do some irrational behavior during the pre-match activities, revealing her true identity and even exposing her relationship with Feng Shixu.
Then he used this as a bargaining chip to be alone with her, and let Shen Que negotiate.
But now...
Pei Ji's eyes darkened.
An Luya was indeed thrown into disarray by Pei Ji's provocation.
She spent a lot of time and effort investigating Pei Ji, and in order to obtain all the information in a short time, she almost mobilized all her connections.
Lawyers, subordinates, parliamentarians... From the traces they left behind, the two basically determined who the princess's confidants were.
