"Take good care of Xiaoyu," Helian Jue instructed after a long silence.
Su Yinchen replied, "Don't worry."
Helian Jue hung up the phone, sent several messages to Qiao You, and just as he put away his personal terminal, Lin Zhong arrived.
"Your Highness, we are about to enter the Gilded System." Dressed in military uniform, with an imposing presence, Lin Zhong, the Crown Prince's deputy general, stood at attention and saluted.
Helian Jue nodded and stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers. "Let's go."
Lin Zhong followed Helian Jue to the operations room.
Inside the villa on Capital Star.
Since the live broadcast incident, and with news about the planet Sol gradually spreading, the people of the entire empire were in an uproar, and almost all their attention was focused on the Alliance.
A week passed, and Qiao You grew increasingly worried. There was no news from Sol Star, and the quantum computer had been cut off for five or six days.
"Youyou, take a nap." Su Xia looked at the dark circles under Qiao You's eyes and patted the fish to coax her.
Qiao You hasn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, has lost a lot of weight, and doesn't have as much energy as before. Su Yinchen and Su Xia are both very worried about him.
Qiao You leaned against Su Xia and slowly closed his eyes. He was so tired, really tired...
With his head tilted to the side, he fell into a deep sleep. The next second, Qiao You felt his consciousness enter the space.
The sycamore tree that belonged to Helian Jue looked to be in very poor condition, showing signs of withering again.
Since Helian Jue left, Qiao You has not seen any phoenix trees in his space, guessing that the two may be too far apart.
But how come he has it now that he's dreaming?
Not knowing when he would wake up from this dream, Qiao You didn't have time to think about it. He hurriedly poured the spiritual spring water from the spring into the phoenix tree.
Qiao You had only one thought in his mind: his brother was on the front line on Lian'er Star, and his mental strength absolutely could not be compromised, or it would be dangerous.
After watering most of the pool with spiritual spring water, the phoenix tree looked only slightly better than before, but its condition was still far from optimistic.
Qiao You stroked the trunk of the sycamore tree, the rough branches rubbing against his palm and causing pain. "Brother, are you alright?"
After standing there blankly for a while, Qiao You leaned against the tree trunk and sat down, slowly falling into a deep sleep.
A short while later, Qiao You opened his eyes again and found himself in an unfamiliar place, somewhat like the spaceship he had taken to Blue Water Star.
Qiao You floated in the air, then swung his leg and drifted over.
Upon entering through a small, open door, Qiao You's face lit up with joy, "Lin Zhong!"
He saw his brother's guards. Lin Zhong went to Sol Star with his brother, but where is his brother?
"Lin Zhong, where's my brother?" Qiao You shouted, trying to stop Lin Zhong.
But no matter how much Qiao You called out, Lin Zhong seemed not to see him and continued walking straight ahead.
"Lieutenant General, the medicine His Highness ordered has been prepared," a doctor reported, standing beside Lin Zhong.
Lin Zhong's expression darkened slightly. "Go inside first."
Qiao You immediately followed, believing that he would find his brother if he followed Lin Zhong.
After going around several small doors, Qiao You finally met Helian Jue.
Helian Jue stood by the window, surrounded by smoke, a cigarette between his fingers, his eyes filled with ferocity, his entire aura like that of a demon rising from hell.
"Brother." Qiao You called out with heartache. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt as if his brother had glanced in his direction.
"Your Highness, this medicine is very potent. Overuse can lead to addiction." Ye Xin, as the doctor, explained the side effects of the medicine clearly, leaving the decision of whether to use it entirely to Your Highness.
Helian Jue exhaled a puff of smoke. "Hmm, let's fight."
Lin Zhong stood respectfully to the side, while Ye Xin could only hold the syringe and prepare to inject Helian Jue.
"Your Highness, please take off your upper garment."
Helian Jue sat down in the chair, took off his shirt. Perhaps because he had been in charge of the Space Force for some time and hadn't seen the sun often, his skin had become a little whiter. There were some small wounds on his chest and shoulders, making him look somewhat broken and pitiful.
Looking at Helian Jue's appearance, Qiao You couldn't help but start wiping away tears. His brother was always the strongest person in front of him, never showing any weakness or fear.
While waiting for Ye Xin to administer the injection, Helian Jue scanned the room with unfocused eyes. When he saw the doorway, he was momentarily confused and mistook Xiaoyu for her there, but upon closer inspection, she was not there.
After administering the injection, Ye Xin left quietly.
"Your Highness, please rest for a while." Lin Zhong took Helian Jue's coat and covered him with it.
This injection can quickly bring a person's mental energy to its peak, and when injected directly into the heart, it can be fatal if not handled carefully.
"Meeting in fifteen minutes!" Helian Jue slowly closed his eyes and gave the order.
Lin Zhong accepted the order and went out to make arrangements, while Helian Jue leaned back in his chair to rest for a while.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Qiao You hurriedly moved closer to Helian Jue, her hand unconsciously reaching out to touch Helian Jue's face.
Before Qiao You could even touch him, Helian Jue opened his eyes alertly and shouted angrily, "Who?"
Looking around and finding nothing amiss, he closed his eyes again.
Qiao You dared not make any rash moves and stood to the side, staring blankly at Helian Jue.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly. Helian Jue dressed and strode away.
Qiao You watched Helian Jue leave, thinking, "Brother, I must come find you!"
