Leidensing rode the flying shuttle back to the palace, his heart still pounding with fear.
"Zhu Yue, what do you think Father means? Does he really want me to die?" Leidenxin was completely panicked. She was deeply moved by Zhu Yue's act of flying to save her.
Zhu Yue remained calm, "Perhaps the master is simply taking his anger out on the empress because of the Second Prince's matter..."
Leidensin is now completely disoriented and believes whatever others say.
"I hope Father will calm down soon and not take his anger out on me because of Tu'er's matter."
A hint of irony flashed in Zhu Yue's eyes. As she passed the most bustling street on the capital planet, her gaze fell on a certain person, and she exchanged a glance with them.
The movements were stealthy and swift, so much so that even Leidensing, who was sitting next to him, was completely unaware.
After returning to the palace, Zhuyue comforted Leidenxin and told him to rest.
Because of the rescue, the first thing Leidenxin did upon arriving at the palace was to elevate Zhuyue to a position below her, showing her complete trust in her.
Zhu Yue's willingness to risk her life to save me is enough to show her loyalty; as for anything else, there's no need to consider it.
Of course, Leidenxin's orders made it easier for Zhuyue to act.
As night fell and all was quiet, the entire palace fell into silence. Zhu Yue silently left the palace, avoiding the crowds, and made her way to the rendezvous point.
“This is everything we recorded today,” Zhu Yue whispered to the shadowy figure opposite her. “Also, Leidenhong is going to kill Leidenxin.”
“This is poison for me, Manro.”
Zhu Yue kept talking, and after she finished explaining, she turned around and left without causing any commotion.
After watching Zhu Yue leave, the dark figure also quickly evaded the patrolling guards and left the palace.
When Zhu Yue went to Leiden's house today, the various systems on the quantum computer were modified, allowing it to ignore the currently known shielding systems. Hopefully, she can successfully record Leiden Hong's atrocities today.
Zhu Yue returned to Leidenxin's bedchamber without anyone noticing.

Alliance, White Star.
"Reporting to the Commander, according to the Empire's spies, Helian Tu has been demoted to a commoner." Mr. An, who had been so arrogant in front of others, knelt down to report to the Alliance's supreme leader, the Commander.
On the high platform, there was a tall figure, shrouded in a thin white veil, with only his shadow visible through the lamplight.
"What is the reason?" a deep, authoritative voice asked.
Mr. An subtly wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead and replied, "It is said that Helian Tu colluded with interstellar pirates to hire someone to kill someone, and the target was the Crown Prince of the Empire, Helian Jue."
"Helian Tu? That old bastard Leidenhong's grandson?" With each additional word spoken, the surrounding air seemed to grow colder and more stagnant.
Mr. An's head was almost touching the floor. "Yes!"
"interesting."
"Contact the Empire's spies and get close to Helian Tu."
Mr. An instantly understood the commander's meaning: "Shall we try to win over Helian Tu?"
"He shares a common enemy with us, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Mr. An was slightly relieved. "Yes!"
As the figure on the platform waved, Mr. An completely relaxed.
The talks concluded successfully.
Emerging from the commander's palace, there is a very long staircase that seems to stretch endlessly into the distance.
Here, all means of transportation are prohibited; anyone wishing to see the commander must slowly ascend step by step.
It would take a normal man at least an hour to walk from the bottom to the top of the stairs.
After the meeting with the commander-in-chief, Mr. An had to walk down the steps one by one, which took another hour.
For him, going up this staircase was easier than going down it.
"Mr. An, are you alright?" The guard helped him up, very carefully.
Mr. An's black suit looked as if it had been soaked through, completely overwhelmed by the commander's imposing presence.
"Help me down." Mr. An, who was usually so arrogant, was now completely supported by his guards.
The seemingly bottomless staircase became increasingly difficult to climb as the last ray of sunlight disappeared.
You have to be extra careful with every step you take; if you accidentally fall, you're probably not going to survive.
It took twice as long to come down as it took to go up.
The guards who were helping him were Mr. An's confidants. After climbing all the stairs and reaching the ground, they couldn't help but complain, "Why does the commander always have to summon me in the afternoon?"
"Every time I came back, it was already dark."
Mr. An did not stop them at first, because the guard's words also reflected his own questions.
However, his power was granted by the commander-in-chief, and he was second only to the commander in the entire alliance.
Only in front of the commander-in-chief do they need to keep a low profile.
"Shut up! How dare we discuss the commander-in-chief?" Mr. An snapped.
The guard knelt down and apologized, "Your subordinate knows his mistake!"
