Chapter 455 An Endless Stream of Gossip
"Furthermore, there's no need to erect the astronomical monument anymore; it's a joke. Just buy a stone slab and post a notice on it, engraving the names of those who participated in framing the princess on it and painting it red as a warning to others."
"As for the money that Moyun Group transferred in, once the compensation for emotional distress is fully deposited into Tongtong's account, send the tax list to my personal computer and I will pay it."
"What are you standing there for? Get down there and get to work!"
"Okay...okay, I'll go right away."
"Transfer the money to Tongtong first."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qu Tong left on the fifth day
Si Yuting, together with Commander Gong, convened a military conference, which all officers of the rank of major and above were required to attend.
Three days later, the commanders of the Third and Fourth Army Corps, along with some other leaders, were discharged from the military and barred from enlisting for life.
The Third and Fourth Army Corps were merged into the First Army Corps and temporarily managed by Major Wen and Major Cheng.
The soldiers involved in the incident at the administrative building that day were all punished accordingly, and the junior officers who attacked Qu Tong were all demoted by one rank.
Regardless of whether they act on orders from their superiors, military regulations are military regulations, and laws are laws.
The announcement, with its white background and red title, sent gasps of surprise through netizens who had been following the story.
[My god! That's a huge move! Two legion commanders are gone!]
"Of course! They don't even know who they've offended. That man who tore apart the Zerg is no pushover; he's a veritable god of death!"
[Dragons have scales that cannot be touched; touching them means certain death. They deserved it!]
[I took a look, and just listing the names took up a full eight pages!]
[Among them are several captains who could have reached major in a few more years, but now they have to spend several more years climbing back up from first lieutenant to captain. It's truly tragic!]
Moreover, with the border now at peace, Glory Points are much harder to earn than before. Not only are they gone the moment you return, but the road back is also much muddier.
Of course, if they had the strength of His Highness the God of War, they could probably be promoted back to their original rank in a year.
Forget it, a powerhouse like His Highness the God of War is so incredibly strong, you might not see one like him even once in a hundred years.
[NO! NO! NO! You forgot about the Crown Princess, who's a hidden super-powerful, super-abnormal being. She's even more awesome than His Highness the God of War! Did you watch the live broadcast?]
[Oh! Oh! Oh! I saw it, this is exactly my expression back then! P.S. Image attached: a meme of a blue and white cat with round, bright eyes and a wide-open mouth.]
[Stop talking, it's enough to make men speechless and women weep!]
...
Tenth day since Qu Tong left
I thought the people from the Gene Bank Elder Council were just dead, but a few days later, a public notice was posted on the StarNet homepage, detailing the major crimes they had committed in their lives.
The evidence was presented one by one, and none of it was fabricated.
The gossip surrounding the capital planet has been relentless lately, and each piece is a major bombshell. Netizens can easily guess that this is something the God of War has done for his princess consort.
Therefore, the princess consort killing them was doing the country a favor, and their families even had to pay compensation to the princess consort.
Netizens gave it a thumbs up, exclaiming, "Absolutely amazing!"
They were doing a good job as corrupt officials, hiding their dirty deeds perfectly, but of all people, they had to offend the prince's wife.
Now look what's happened! Not only are they dead, but even in death they're being stripped naked.
Amidst a chorus of condemnation, netizens cheered, saying it was a great experience.
Two days later, StarNet released an even more explosive piece of news.
The Canaanite Empire subsequently dissolved the Council of Elders and reclaimed some rights to the gene bank.
The entire internet is buzzing!
The StarNet crashed and was restored after ten minutes.
As soon as it was restored, netizens immediately plunged into the melon patch.
Inside the meeting room, Si Chen pressed the send button, stared at the screen for a long while, and then stood up from the highest position, speaking authoritatively: "Meeting adjourned!"
No one at the gene bank meeting made a sound; the only noise was the rustling of clothes against the table corners, and even the sound of footsteps was kept to a minimum.
Si Chen let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Si Yuting at the front with a good mood, "You've worked hard, you should go back and get some rest too."
Si Yuting nodded, organized the files on the desktop and the smart device into the space button, and stood up.
But the moment he lifted his foot, his tall body fell straight forward.
"Yu Ting!"
"Boss!"
Fortunately, the Empress was nearby. She rushed over and caught the person, cushioning the fall before placing them on the ground without causing any injuries!
Chengfeng was too far away and was a step too late.
Those who hadn't finished walking all turned around to look.
Si Chen rushed over immediately, looking flustered. "Yu Ting! What happened?"
"Quick! Go get the doctor!"
Gu Qiao accepted the order and left, pushing aside the people at the door and exiting the conference room in the blink of an eye.
Falling face down makes it difficult to breathe, so Si Chen and the Empress carefully turned Si Yuting over and placed him half-leaning on Si Chen's legs. Seeing that his dark eyes were tightly closed, the two couldn't help but worry.
Soon, Gu Xiu came over with his grandson.
Before Gu Xiao could even tidy himself up, he was urged to examine Si Yuting first.
After a brief examination, she was moved to the treatment room.
After completing the necessary external checks and scanning the sample in the inspection chamber, Gu Xiao finally had time to tidy up in the lounge.
Si Chen and the Empress stood against the room wall the entire time, not daring to breathe.
"Ding!" The instrument beeped, and the Empress looked over, wanting to ask about the results, but she was afraid of disturbing Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "It's nothing. It's just that my body was overloaded, which caused my blood vessels to be compressed, and I fainted temporarily. I'll just lie down in the intensive care unit and recover."
The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xiao continued, "General Si probably hasn't had a full night's sleep in a long time. He's been taking too much energy liquid recently. Although the data shows that the energy liquid doesn't have any side effects, his body definitely can't handle not getting enough rest in the long run. He needs to reduce his workload when he gets back."
Gu Xiao thought of the recent developments again, "Forget it, I'll give him a sedative injection and let him sleep it off."
"Alright! Let them fight." The Empress felt both heartache and self-reproach.
Thinking of his son's consistent behavior, Si Chen also let out a long sigh.
Many things in the empire are deeply entrenched and complicated to deal with. He had advised against rushing things, but Tongtong's matter was like a boulder weighing on his shoulders, not allowing him to stop.
No one was rushing him; he was just too demanding of himself and wouldn't allow a single moment to be wasted.
Gu Xiao quickly administered a sedative to Si Yuting, enough for him to sleep until tomorrow morning.
"Knock knock!"
Cheng Feng knocked on the open door and, seeing that Si Yuting was still asleep, reported to Si Chen: "Your Majesty, news has come from the hospital that His Majesty has woken up."
Si Chen's brows were furrowed with worry, and he was very reluctant to deal with this matter.
The empress took his hand and led him outside, saying, "Let's go. If he doesn't wake up soon, the other two countries will soon have an excuse to send troops."
Earlier, the official authorities of the Casa Empire and the Canaan Empire had issued statements demanding that the Canaan Empire provide an explanation for the harm done to those with high fertility rates.
