That night, Helian Jue did not sleep. He sat by the bed with his fingers on the little mermaid's tail.
Helian Tu and the Leiden family made no attempt to conceal their ambitions. He was not unprepared; the jade seal that Xiaoyu desperately tried to seize today was just a fake. Helian Jue always carried the real jade seal with him.
The Jade Seal is the symbol of the Crown Prince of the Empire. Only with the Jade Seal can the title of His Highness the Crown Prince be recognized by the people of the Empire.
"Lin Zhong, send me a summary of Helian Tu's whereabouts during this period."
"In addition, issue an arrest warrant. The Crown Prince's palace was burglarized and valuables were stolen. The image of the trespasser today will be published on the StarNet for a full interstellar manhunt."
Helian Jue took out his personal terminal and issued one command after another: "Helian Tu has made meritorious contributions in suppressing interstellar pirates some time ago."
"Spreading rumors on the black market that Helian Tu is colluding with space pirates."
Lin Zhong paused for a moment, then saluted Helian Jue and said, "Yes!"
Helian Jue's gaze turned icy. "A scheme must be flawless. Lin Zhong, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood."
After hanging up the communication with Lin Zhong, Helian Jue's eyes lingered on Qiao You, noticing the obvious marks, especially the small wound on the side of his face.
The little fish was exquisitely beautiful, but now the wound ruined that beauty.
All night long, Helian Jue sat by the bedside, watching over Qiao You.
In the past, the two would sleep in each other's arms every night, and Qiao You could enter Helian Jue's spiritual sea smoothly. But tonight, he did not see the phoenix tree. Instead, the spiritual spring in the spring in the space was much larger, almost overflowing.
Qiao You, thinking it would be wasteful to let things overflow, packed up all the bottles and jars he had previously placed in his space.
"Let Helian Jue drink it tomorrow."
For the past month or so, we've been directly pouring water into Helian Jue's mental sea, letting him drink it and see which method has a better effect.
Qiao You sat cross-legged by the spring and muttered, "Why didn't Helian Jue come tonight?"
After waiting for a very long time, Qiao You finally fell asleep.
Perhaps because he hadn't seen Helian Jue's spiritual sea last night, Qiao You was still thinking about it and woke up very early.
The little mermaid's eyes immediately fell on Helian Jue sitting by the bed, her eyes bruised all over. "You didn't sleep a wink last night?"
Helian Jue said without changing his expression, "He was asleep. He woke up a long time ago."
"Liar," the little mermaid pouted. Did he really think he was a fish?
Helian Jue chuckled and tapped Xiaoyu's pouting lips with his finger. "Wrong, there won't be a next time."
Qiao You put his hands on his hips. "Don't lie to me, or else... or else..."
"Otherwise, I'll ignore you."
Helian Jue held the little fish in his palm. "I'm most afraid that the little fish will ignore me, so there won't be a next time."
Qiao You puffed out his chest proudly, then said shyly, "I won't... ignore you."
After speaking, Qiao You felt somewhat sad. Here, he only knew Helian Jue. There was no father emperor, no mother empress, and no people of his own.
If... if he ignores Helian Jue, then he will be the one who is isolated...
Helian Jue noticed Qiao You's momentary gloom, touched Xiaoyu's cheek with his finger, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Qiao You looked up with a wronged expression and said stubbornly, "You're not allowed to ignore me from now on."
I'm here, and you're all I have left.
Helian Jue replied seriously, "Okay! I will never ignore Xiaoyu."
Qiao You was finally satisfied, pursed his lips, and returned a smile.
Helian Jue took a morning to stay home with Qiao You, worried that Xiao Yu might be traumatized.
Qiao You chuckled carefree, swimming in the water tank in all sorts of fancy ways, making Helian Jue laugh.
In the afternoon, Helian Jue needed to go to the palace to discuss yesterday's events.
"Little Fish, will you come with me?"
Qiao You naturally agreed; he dared not stay home alone any longer.
"Can I come along?" Qiao You asked. The palace... he used to live in a palace too. He wondered what the difference was between an interstellar palace and the palace of their mermaid race...
Seeing the excitement in Qiao You's eyes, Helian Jue stroked Xiaoyu's chin. "So happy?"
Little Fish chuckled and rubbed against Helian Jue's fingers affectionately.
When going to the palace, Helian Jue needed to wear the crown prince's uniform, and Qiao You also felt that he needed to change his clothes.
The two inexplicably reached a consensus and went to change their clothes.
The imperial family uniforms were all white with gold trim. Helian Jue's military cap and boots were all neatly worn, and he wore medals on his shoulders that marked his status.
Qiao You was stunned. Helian was already handsome and had an impressive aura. Wearing the royal uniform made him even more handsome.
"Beautiful?" Helian Jue watched in disbelief as his little fish turned into a dazed fish.
Qiao You nodded honestly, "It looks good."
Helian Jue burst out laughing and tapped the little fish's nose. "The little fish who tells the truth will be rewarded."
He took a small fish-shaped biscuit out of his pocket and gave it to Qiao You. "Eat this."
Qiao You then realized what he had just said and shyly hid it.
"This little fish is the most beautiful little fish I've ever seen," Helian Jue praised, for the beauty of the mermaid race is indeed outstanding.
Qiao You happily jumped into Helian Jue's hand, muttering softly, "Then you can only have one little fish, me."
“Only you,” Helian Jue said with utmost seriousness.
