The Empress, Si Chen, and Si Yuting returned to the palace in a flying vehicle.
"Yu Ting, do you want to go to the back and treat your wounds first?" The Empress asked with concern when she saw Si Yu Ting start to doze off as soon as he got into the hovercar.
Yu Ting opened his eyes. "It's alright, we'll deal with it once we get to the palace."
When the Empress heard Si Yuting say that, she let him be, since he wouldn't die anyway.
It will hurt a little longer!
Thinking of this, the Empress playfully nudged Si Yuting's wound, "Why didn't you tell us about Tongtong's pregnancy, such a big thing?"
Si Yuting seemed oblivious to the pain, saying without changing his expression, "Even if I told you, Ali would be even less likely to escape this pit of fire."
The Empress was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, at this critical juncture, the fewer people who know, the better.
If someone overhears you, or if you're too happy or surprised and someone notices something amiss, the situation will only get worse.
The fact that the fertility stat is maxed out is already attractive enough. If people knew that Yu Ting was in such a state, and Tong Tong could still get pregnant with his child, they would probably go crazy.
They are even more afraid that some people will have bad intentions, so there is a provision in the law that requires the protection of people with high birth rates.
However, things have escalated to the worst possible state now. I just hope Tongtong can find a safe place and not be found.
The Empress glared at Si Chen, saying, "It's all because of your unreliable father. Tongtong is pregnant and has to hide all the time."
Si Chen silently endured it, neither daring to refute nor able to refute it.
"How old is the child? Has he been examined?" the Empress asked again.
Si Yuting: "21 weeks."
"It's almost five months!" The Queen exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth. "Shouldn't you be showing by now?"
"Um."
The Empress felt sorry for Tongtong, knowing how hard it was to be pregnant and that she should be enjoying being waited on at home.
But the reality is that she has a lot of troubles, and she almost lost her granddaughter.
Anger surged from the bottom of her heart, and the Empress grabbed Si Chen's arm, her voice urgent and forceful: "This marriage must be broken off!"
"The court we worked so hard to stabilize has been thrown into chaos by him."
“No matter what, Tongtong is his granddaughter-in-law. How could he do such a thing? The monitoring bracelet was reporting that her and the baby's condition was unstable, but he didn't even think about taking them to the hospital immediately.”
“Si Chen, let me tell you, if you dare to protect him again, I won’t be the Empress anymore. You may not care about Tong Tong, but I do. I’m going to help her get justice.”
The Empress grew angrier and angrier, and finally grabbed Si Chen by the collar and called him by his full name.
Gong Lingyu is not afraid of Si Chen. If Si Chen dares to say no, she will slap him.
She had suffered a lot of mistreatment from Si Xian when she was young. If it weren't for Si Chen begging her in the rain and considering their years of relationship, she wouldn't have married into the royal family.
Now it's targeting Tongtong again.
As the person in charge of the gene bank, she had the right to object to Yu Ting's decision, and she had no objection to that.
I shouldn't have schemed against Tongtong so many times, and I shouldn't have played with her life and the child like that.
If it weren't for the large crowd at the scene and the fact that it was being broadcast live online, and out of consideration for Si Chen's feelings, she would have kicked him the moment he started pleading.
Si Chen cupped the Empress's hand in his own, showing no anger, only a sincere apology: "It was my fault, Ling'er. Don't worry, when he wakes up, he will definitely give Tongtong and the child a satisfactory answer, and he will not let him return to the capital planet."
He admitted that having high expectations of his father was his biggest mistake during his time in power.
He bears half the responsibility for what happened to Tongtong today.
But he still had to plead for mercy.
Just like Yu Ting said, even if Tong Tong refused, he felt it was the right thing to do.
The Empress snorted coldly, released Si Chen, and looked at Si Yuting: "Handle the affairs of the other two countries well. Since Tongtong has chosen you, don't let her down."
"If Tongtong doesn't come back, you deserve it all."
Si Yuting looked out the window, his eyes darkening. "I understand."
The Empress sighed several more times, wondering if Tongtong would suffer any lasting effects from the fright she had experienced today.
Do you feel bored when you're on a ship for a long time?
Will I lose my appetite and be unable to eat after having a child?
When you arrive in a new place, will there be someone to take care of you?
...
Although the two men did not utter a word, their words were like sharp knives stabbing into their hearts, causing them excruciating pain.
Back at the palace, Si Yuting suppressed his depressed mood, got a quick bandage, changed his clothes, and headed to the embassy.
The first half of the talks went smoothly, but the atmosphere became a bit strange in the second half.
The blue-haired boy smiled, revealing two canine teeth, "I quite like Sister Qu's type, and I also have great respect for Your Highness, the God of War..."
Before the blue-haired boy could finish expressing his opinion, Rong Yueqing pulled him back to his seat.
Rong Yueqing said apologetically, "I naturally support the decision of the Crown Princess, but the final decision rests with my brother. It's just that my brother has been quite busy lately, so he asked me to go on his behalf. When I get back, I will tell my brother that if there is an opportunity, I suggest that His Highness meet with my brother and discuss the matter in person."
Si Yuting nodded. "Thank you for your trouble."
Then he looked at Emperor Changxin.
Di Changxin touched the white jade thumb ring on his index finger, a gentle smile on his lips. "I'm sorry, I don't agree."
Si Yuting stared at Di Changxin, frowning. "The Cangling Empire also practices monogamy. As the ruler of the country, you are actually willing to abide by the interstellar protection order?"
Rong Yueqing also looked over curiously. Compared to her brother's feelings for Sister Ali, she wasn't surprised at all that he wouldn't agree to it.
Unexpectedly, the ruler of the Cangling Empire was also willing to become a concubine for Sister Ali.
Sister Ali is so charming!
But if she were a man, she would be willing too!
“If it were Miss Junli, I wouldn’t be so unwilling,” Di Changxin replied.
Si Yuting's face darkened.
Emperor Changxin called Ali Junli.
His gaze remained gentle and dignified, and he showed no emotional fluctuations when mentioning Ali.
Actually, he didn't like Ali.
I just don't hate it that much, so it doesn't matter.
But considering Ali's value, he was willing.
"No one can force Ali. Didn't the king see what happened next? If there's a next time, I will take action for Ali myself."
Si Yuting stood up from his seat, placed one hand on the table with his palm outstretched, leaned forward slightly, and stared at the person opposite him with a cold and sharp gaze. "Didn't the King also say that the Interstellar High-Birth-Rate Protection Order is mainly for protection?"
Those standing at the negotiating table and around him felt the powerful pressure emanating from Si Yuting, and involuntarily stiffened their backs, not daring to utter a sound.
Emperor Changxin, also an SSS-rank, didn't react as strongly. He met the gaze of the most glorious war god of the Canaan Empire for a long while before replying indifferently, "If Your Highness insists on this, you might as well come to the Cangling Empire to negotiate in person."
After saying this, Emperor Changxin stood up and called to the envoys he had brought with him, "There is no need to continue the talks. Let's return home."
Cheng Feng and the soldiers of the Sirius Legion behind him placed their hands on their holsters, seeking permission from their general. (End of Chapter)
