Chapter 114 Chapter 31 The emperor sitting at the top saw...
The emperor, seated at the head of the table, instantly relaxed his solemn expression upon seeing the two insects, softening a bit, dispelling much of the tension in the atmosphere.
It forms a sharp contrast.
"The emperor is here. Come, sit next to me quickly." The emperor pointed to the empty seat next to him.
Xu Feng, however, was unfazed. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he walked to the emperor's side. Akar, standing beside him, tugged at Xu Feng's hand. Urged by the emperor's gaze, he reluctantly hooked his hand, then let go, standing still and waiting.
At the same time, he pointed at Akar and said, "Come over here too!"
When Akar heard the emperor mention him, he realized what the emperor said and immediately took his hand back before they were completely separated.
Xu Feng noticed something strange in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.
The emperor was still discussing state affairs, and the two insects sat quietly, saying nothing. It was better to ignore matters that did not concern them.
As he was drowsy, Xu Feng nodded his head again and again.
"Why are there so many things to do? It's not over yet? Am I here too early?" Xu Feng was so sleepy that he had no idea what to do. If he didn't do something, he would fall asleep completely.
I couldn't say anything, I could only talk to the system in my sea of consciousness.
"Host, an emperor has to manage the affairs of a country, so he should be busy. But your father has to take care of so many planets and so many insects! How can he not have too much to do?"
Xu Feng thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case.
Not wanting to continue the current topic, Xu Feng asked a new question: "Now that we have the evidence, Akar will soon be cleared of his grievances. My mission should be accomplished!"
The system noticed Xu Feng's progress and felt that it was almost done, so it opened the panel to check the specific completion level.
When he saw the result, the little black ball was shocked like a coal ball, his eyes narrowed to the point of being unable to see, and he asked in confusion: "What's going on? We're only halfway through?"
Xu Feng also felt strange: "We've come this far, and we're only halfway through? What are you going to do?"
The little black ball shrank its spherical body. "Host, please don't look at me like that. I'm scared. This is calculated by the higher-ups. I don't know what it is!"
The coal-ball-shaped system made Xu Feng laugh, and his cold face returned to its previous gentleness.
After pinching the system, Xu Feng felt that there must be hidden content in the task, and he needed to think about it carefully.
"Let's go back! I'll take a look at the plot and mission requirements and think about what to do next."
After carefully reading the plot again, Xu Feng, who had participated in many movies and studied countless biographies and plots, soon found something wrong.
The original owner's illness seems to be strange.
He originally thought that these mutated insects were a thing that happened after the war with Hai White, but he didn't expect the battle line to be longer than he imagined.
They buried it very deep.
But these are just speculations. How can we implicate them?
"Huang'er? Feng'er?"
"What's wrong, father?" The emperor's call woke Xu Feng up. He only responded when the emperor called for the second time.
"Is Feng'er asleep?"
"No, I was just thinking about something. Has my father finished dealing with the matter?" Xu Feng certainly couldn't say yes! Although it was true.
He simply brushed it off, glanced at both sides and saw that there were no more bugs, realizing that his father's meeting was over.
"What are you thinking about?" The emperor did not answer Xu Feng's subsequent nonsense, but asked him to get to the bottom of it.
Xu Feng was a little speechless. He glanced at the emperor who had no expression on his face but said strange words.
You definitely can't say what you really think, because if you do, you'll have to dissect and analyze it.
Thinking quickly, he immediately explained his purpose for coming here: "Father, don't you know? The bugs are all around you. Isn't this the reason you called me here?"
"You! You have never been able to be teased since you were a child." The emperor finally smiled, looking helpless towards Xu Feng.
Then he immediately returned to his original expression and said in a deep voice, "Is the evidence sufficient?"
"Akar, hand the evidence to father." Akar obediently handed the prepared paper document to the emperor with both hands.
The force on his hands increased, and Akar groaned, trying to resist. However, the attack changed direction and went straight towards Xu Feng.
His Highness was about to be injured, and Akar could not remain calm. He stood up and blocked the attack.
"Is this all right?" A powerful force came, but was blocked by the emperor. The atmosphere of imminent battle disappeared in an instant.
The two of them fell silent, and the emperor looked at Xu Feng on the side: "Feng'er, have you cured him?"
In just a few seconds, a test of swords and sabers appeared before Xu Feng's eyes.
It’s over, the bug being questioned is actually him.
Xu Feng felt bitter, but he didn't say it.
I know the emperor is considering it. After all, if Hai White is convicted, the army will be left without a leader.
The emperor is already testing the waters, which means he already understands the situation pretty well.
Xu Feng, who was aware of this, knew he couldn't hide it, so he told the truth: "Yes, father, Akar is completely healed."
The emperor carefully examined the evidence that Akar had placed on the table. After quickly scanning it and obtaining a result similar to the information he had investigated, he casually threw the thing in his hand back onto the table.
He looked up at Xu Feng opposite him.
"Feng'er, help me catch the real traitor. What reward do you want?"
When Mingming asked questions, he looked at the bug next to Xu Feng from time to time, as if he was looking for the answer.
Xu Feng was unable to speak, and could only reply respectfully: "I hope that my father can restore everything that happened before Akar was imprisoned."
"Is recovery enough? Don't you want anything else?"
Knowing the emperor's temperament and his dislike for pushy bugs, Xu Feng once again replied with certainty, "That's enough."
"What about you?" the emperor asked Akar.
"I will do my best to obey your Highness."
Akar didn't quite understand these roundabout questions, but he thought it would be right to follow His Highness.
Besides, being able to resume his original position was already a good thing. With his recovered abilities, he would surely be able to reach a higher position soon if he took one step at a time and worked steadily.
"Very good, Feng'er didn't choose the wrong insect." The emperor's eyes showed an admiring look. "I was wrong too. I didn't investigate thoroughly this time and convicted you. While reinstating your original position, you will also be promoted to the next level!"
Akar's shoulders sank, and the emperor's voice continued, "Although the position of Lieutenant General is two years too early for you, your strength is sufficient. Work hard, and you will definitely succeed."
These conditions, which he had not dared to think of before, caused Akar to subconsciously curl his fingers, and the two hands hidden under the table touched each other.
Xu Feng felt a soft and warm touch on his right hand. After realizing what it was, he grabbed it and clasped his hands together.
The emperor's calm gaze, as if seeing through everything, shot straight at the two insects, making Xu Feng feel a little guilty, and he subconsciously touched his nose.
"Now that Akar's issue has been resolved, let's have a chat as father and son!"
"Okay, father." Xu Feng responded respectfully, pulling at their clasped hands. "Wait for me in the lounge outside. I'll leave after I finish talking to father."
Akar looked at Xu Feng with concern. At the same time, he noticed that Xu Feng was about to pull his hand away, so he quickly chased after him and grabbed it tightly.
"I'm fine, it's safe here. Stay outside for a while, I'll be out soon."
"Be good, okay?"
Soft golden hair, covered by a white palm.
Indulging in the comfort of having his fur stroked, Akar slowly relaxed.
Then, his body leaned forward, and the insect pushed his back, causing him to stumble down and approach the door.
Xu Feng's gaze met a pair of blue eyes that exuded shock.
The talking blue eyes kept emitting the feeling of being betrayed and asking, "How could your Highness do this?"
"Go out quickly! I'll be out soon." Xu Feng coughed lightly and lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look directly at Chong. However, he did not forget to ask Chong to go out.
"Okay, then, Your Highness, if you need anything, be sure to call me." Akar was aware of the current situation and agreed obediently. He did not forget to remind Xu Feng before leaving.
"Don't worry and go out! I will definitely not let anything happen to my son." The emperor couldn't stand it anymore. These two bugs were sticking together for a long time and they didn't stop, so he interrupted them.
Akar certainly knew it, but he still looked at Xu Feng with reluctance.
Xu Feng couldn't speak, so he used his eyes to signal him to be at ease and get out quickly.
As the conference room door closed, peace returned to the room.
"Isn't there something going on with father?" After a long time without the emperor asking any questions, Xu Feng spoke up to remind him.
The emperor was not at all embarrassed by the situation cooling down. He spoke naturally, "I thought you young lovers needed some time to calm down."
"I'm fine. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly!"
"What is the relationship between Feng'er and Akar?" the emperor asked gossipingly.
Xu Feng rolled his eyes: "You just said it, and now you ask again?"
"This isn't just to confirm."
Seeing Xu Feng looking at him with dead eyes, the emperor restrained his expression and asked in a low voice, "Why did you think of looking for Akar?"
Everything else was reasonable, but Xu Feng's motivation for going to find Akar was too perfunctory and coincidental.
Thinking about the situation at that time, Xu Feng felt that if it were him, he might also be suspicious.
But if he doesn't tell about the system, how should he deal with the bug in front of him?
"Can't your Highness give a reason?" The emperor's pressure came, leaving a little breathing space in the cruelty.
Fortunately, the emperor currently has only two adult male insects, and the other one, Xu Tianze, is already disabled. When facing Xu Feng, the emperor will inevitably have some considerations.
"Father, I think there's something fishy going on. My illness is incredibly strange. I found out the auction house had what I needed. As for why I bought Akar back, it's because I felt he possessed something I needed."
Hearing that there was a promising cure for a disease that the palace doctors were helpless to treat, the emperor withdrew his pressure and asked with interest, "So, has Feng'er been found?"
"I guess so! I'm much better now." He supported the wheelchair, stood up simply, and took two steps in front of the emperor.
As for the leg issue, he hadn't had time to see Dr. Wang for a follow-up check, so this just served as a good excuse.
"It's more than that! Tell me! I can accept it." The emperor was very pleased with the significant effect of Xu Feng, but he and Doctor Wang were in touch, so it was normal for the emperor to know some information.
The emperor's sensitivity is different, so Xu Feng could only speak out the doubts he had just discovered.
"Their plan may have been made earlier than what Hay White said."
A strange light flashed in the emperor's red pupils, flickering, and it was impossible to tell the specific emotions deep in his eyes.
