Chapter 126: Plan in Progress This is a rare opportunity for spiritual energy...
Five years after Hoover Walker ascended the throne, his Queen had already passed away. In this interstellar age, where the average lifespan reaches 300 years, the Queen's death at just over 40 years old was clearly not a natural death.
There are many different theories about the Queen's death, but no one knows for sure. The only thing known is that she was pregnant with Hoover Walker's child when she died.
One corpse, two lives lost, anyone who heard about it would think it was a tragedy, but it didn't take long for everyone to shift their attention, because two months after the death of the previous Queen of the Insect, Hoover Walker married Gila Cecil, the second son of Felton Cecil, the then Treasury Secretary, as the Queen of the Insect.
Queen Jira Cecil is also the elder brother of the current Minister of Finance, Love Cecil. Jira has made great efforts for Love to become the patriarch of the Cecil family, and the Cecil family has become stronger with the help of Jira.
But the good times didn't last long. Gila had been married to Hoover Walker for ten years without getting pregnant, and she became increasingly weak. One night, she passed away silently.
After Gila Cecil's death, Hoover Walker married two insect queens whose families were not of high status. Without exception, none of them lived for more than ten years.
Since then, rumors began to spread among the people that no female insect could mate with the Insect King, which was why the Insect Queen quickly declined and died because she could not handle the Insect King's great fortune.
It is also rumored that the Insect King Hoover Walker is the chosen Insect King!
Hoover Walker denounced the rumor on the surface, but he did not appoint another queen, and there was not even a female insect worthy of the throne in his harem.
Over the years, the harem had been peaceful, princes were born one after another, and no insects with positions died, which further confirmed the previous rumors. For a time, Hoover Walker's prestige rose again.
In a flash, nearly seventy years have passed, and several princes have grown up. Hoover Walker did not promote the female fathers of these adult princes, but suddenly, contrary to his usual behavior, promoted the newly pregnant female servant to the rank of concubine, and was so anxious about it, which made Keppel and Aiyou a little alert.
Milne delivered the instructions and politely took his leave. Aiyou pushed Keppel back to his room and instructed the butler to prepare the dress and gifts for tonight's banquet. Then Aiyou carried Keppel to the bed and sat beside him.
"What do you think your brother is up to? He's not the kind of person who's prone to sentimental relationships." Ai You was puzzled.
Seeing Aiyou's frown, Keppel reached out and gently massaged his brows, saying calmly, "Don't worry. We'll see tonight. Maybe this May Leslie is really capable of making Hoover fall in love with her."
Ai You: "...Do you believe this?"
Keppel chuckled. "I don't believe it, but I believe everything is possible. Even if Hoover isn't in love with her, this newcomer Mei Congjun should not be underestimated."
Ai You poured a glass of water and handed it to Keppel. "Well, now that Mei Congjun has become the highest-ranking insect in the harem, the forces behind those female insects who have given birth to princes are likely dissatisfied. Is this another calculation of your good brother?"
"It's all possible, but no matter what, behind May Leslie stands Ockham Leslie. This old guy may smile all day long and look weak and incompetent, but a dog that bites insects usually doesn't bark. And--"
Capel paused, fiddled with his Star Brain, and waved to Aiyou: "Have you seen what May Leslie looks like?"
Ai You was stunned and looked in the direction Keppel was looking, just in time to see a video appear on the translucent virtual screen that popped up from the Star Brain.
The background of the video is in the garden of the imperial palace, where a gorgeously dressed female insect is walking slowly surrounded by many insect attendants.
The video was extremely simple, but after watching it, Ai You's heart was in turmoil.
The reason is simple. The female insect in the video is at least 60% similar to his student Bai Smellied in terms of appearance and expression. Hoover Walker simply cannot get Bai, so he finds a substitute who is similar to Bai.
Even his name contains the same "Mei" character as Bai's. When Ai You thought of the dirty things Hoover Walker did to this similar face, he couldn't help feeling nauseous and had the urge to rush into the palace and kill Hoover Walker immediately.
Having been together for many years, Keppel naturally knew what his prince was thinking. He showed Aiyou the video of May Leslie in advance because he was afraid that Aiyou would reveal her flaws at the banquet.
He didn't know whether his good brother was testing whether the forces behind the prince's father's family would submit to him. He only knew that his brother still had concerns about Ai You and was using May Leslie's face to test Ai You.
Ai You is no longer at the age where his emotions are clearly shown on his face, but Bai is his most favored student.
Knowing that Hoover Walker coveted Bai was one thing, and knowing that he was blocked from harming Bai was another. But when Hoover Walker's dirty thoughts were laid bare in front of Ai You when she was completely unprepared, Ai You might not be able to adjust her mentality and expression immediately.
As long as his good brother discovered any clues, the appearance of Ai You being heartbroken that they had created before would definitely be exposed.
Of course, it is also wrong to have no reaction at all. The reaction can be regret or surprise, but it must not be anger or hatred.
A marshal who is loyal to His Majesty should not be angry or hateful about His Majesty's idea of wanting his student to enter the palace, but should feel regret for the interruption of his student's career and be surprised at His Majesty's mercy.
Ai You obviously also realized Keppel's intention. He tried hard to suppress the violent desire in his heart, rested his head on Keppel's chest, listened to Keppel's heartbeat and calmed down his emotions. It took him a long time to calm down.
"He's really disgusting, and he's willing to do anything." Ai You gritted his teeth, "Occam Leslie, I'll remember you."
He was able to train his son to be about 60% similar to Bai. It must have taken him a lot of effort. He then found the right opportunity to send his son to the palace. This shows how scheming this old man is.
Keppel gently stroked Aiyou's back and said, "This might be an opportunity for us."
Ai You looked up, somewhat puzzled. Keppel smiled and nudged Ai You's face, saying softly, "If this Mei Congjun didn't enter the palace voluntarily..."
Ai You understood. After all, no one wants to be treated as a substitute for another bug from childhood to adulthood. No matter who May Leslie hates, they can take advantage of it.
However, if May Leslie hated Bai, then they would have to be careful.
"Okay, don't be so gloomy. My good brother has been very busy lately. He's probably worried that we'll cause him trouble at this critical moment, so he wants to take this opportunity to test us." Keppel smiled sarcastically. "We should still be understanding, right?"
Ai You thought of what Bai had recently found out and smiled: "You're right, I'll take you to take a bath. It won't be long before we enter the palace."
"Yeah." Keppel smiled and stretched out his hands as if asking for a hug, which made Aiyou laugh.
He picked up Keppel and walked towards the bathroom, and soon the sound of water splashing was heard in the bathroom.
On the other side, Bai Zheng and Nan Qi, who had no idea that their stand-in had been promoted, were tinkering with the basement in the villa.
Now that the brothers Sli and Slang cannot show up in public, all treatment and research activities should not be contaminated by the outside world. A medical room and laboratory must be prepared at home.
Bai's villa is very big, with three floors above ground and three floors underground, and a large courtyard.
Previously, Bai had only considered this place a place to stay and hadn't properly decorated it. After marrying Nan Qi, it was no longer a cold, cold place; it felt like home. Bai gradually filled it with furniture and soft furnishings, making the three-story house increasingly cozy. Nan Qi also tidied up the back garden and built a sunroom.
But apart from the audio-visual room, training room and gym on the first underground floor, and the third underground floor where aircraft are parked, the rest of the basement is empty, and there is nothing in the 20% underground area.
This time, Bai discussed with Nan Qi and decided to clean up the second underground floor. The area of the second underground floor is 300 square meters, which is enough for Pu Bo to use.
Bai, Nan Qi, the twins who were staying with them, and Carter cleaned up together with Lily. Since they bought three more housework robots, they managed to clean up the huge basement in an entire afternoon.
After returning to the room and taking a shower, Nan Qi ran to the kitchen to cook dinner. Bai sat on a high stool next to the center island, pinching bean sprouts and chatting with Nan Qi.
"The experimental equipment can't be purchased directly. Tomorrow is the day to meet at the black market. I will ask the teacher to buy it at the black market. Once the equipment is obtained, I will ask Pu Bo to go to the black market to pick it up. Is there anything you want to buy? Let's go to the black market tomorrow."
Nan Qi walked over and stuffed a sweet strawberry into Bai's mouth: "I want to go to Fengshengheli Tower to see if I can get some information."
Bai nodded and swallowed the strawberry: "I'll accompany you."
Nan Qi leaned over and kissed him on the corner of his mouth, smiling mischievously: "Your Excellency the Admiral has been a bit slack in your work lately. Mellon will be mad."
Bai: “…” Feeling a little guilty.
Nan Qi found Bai's guilty look adorable, so he lifted up Bai's face, rubbed it, and went to blanch the bean sprouts that Bai had almost picked. He was going to make spicy bean sprouts today.
Bai stood up and walked to Nan Qi, handing him the seasoning.
The two bugs were talking to each other, some of their words were meaningful, some were just casual chats, but the atmosphere was so warm that no one could interrupt.
Sli and Slang stared at the way Nan Qi and Bai were getting along in the kitchen, and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Carter was no longer surprised. He was playing games with Lily on the big screen in the living room. After a round, he found that the twins were still looking at the kitchen without changing at all, and he couldn't help laughing.
Reaching out and snapping his fingers in front of the twins, bringing them back to consciousness, Carter said proudly, "You're envious, right? Brother Nanqi and Brother Bai are the most loving couple I've ever seen. I want to find someone I like, respect him, and build our little family together."
Sly listened to the little male insect's boast without saying a word. Slang, unlike his brother, was calm and collected. He leaned over and asked Carter, "Have they always been like this? How did they meet?"
Carter was opened up by this question and told him everything about the dramatic encounter between Nan Qi and Bai, the test of his mental strength when they got married, and returning to the Central Star with Bai to open a shop, and then discovering that there was a problem with the Brave Fighting Game and then the illegal live experiments of the Imperial Research Institute.
"It's amazing, right? Who would have thought that my brother Nanqi is an SSS-rank male insect, and has a 100% compatibility rate with Brother Bai? Even if some insects wanted to stop them from getting married, there's nothing they can do. They're a match made in heaven!"
Si Lang didn't expect that Nan Qi and Bai's experience was so tortuous. He looked at Nan Qi and Bai with respect that he didn't even realize.
It turns out that even though Bai is already the Imperial God of War Admiral, he is still in a dangerous calculation. Even if Nan Qi is an SSS-level male insect, if he is not 100% compatible with Bai, he will definitely be recruited as a son-in-law by the royal family. No one knows what will happen then.
In the past, they only thought that the Imperial Research Institute was purgatory and Morse was the devil. After leaving the Imperial Research Institute, they realized that the outside world still eats insects, but these insects still love life.
Looking at Nan Qi and Bai, who were full of the smell of fireworks, Si Lang looked at Si Li: "Brother, we have to live a good life too."
Sli's eyes moved, and after a moment he nodded.
He was pessimistic at first, but now he is no longer pessimistic. His life has a goal, and every step he takes is a broad world.
After figuring this out, the invisible heavy shackles on Sli's body shattered instantly. Sli smiled and looked at Carter: "Can you teach me and Slang how to play the game?"
Carter was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and nodded with a smile. Lily even brought over two more game controllers, shouting that she wanted to play online and teach the bugs on the other side a lesson for bullying him.
Three insects and a robot insect were fighting fiercely in the living room. In the kitchen, Nan Qi and Bai smiled at each other and suddenly felt that this kind of lively atmosphere was not bad.
Nan Qi gently bumped Bai's shoulder: "Don't you feel like we are raising a child?"
Bai paused for a moment, then heard Nan Qi continue, "The male and female fathers are preparing dinner in the kitchen, occasionally kissing where the children can't see. The naughty kids are playing games in the living room. We'll get two cats and a dog later. Perfect!"
Bai imagined that day, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Yeah, we can definitely live like that."
Nan Qi smiled and kissed Bai's lips, hooking Bai in a lingering kiss: "I believe that we can work hard together."
After chatting and laughing, dinner was ready and Arnold came back on time.
After dinner, the insects returned to their rooms to rest. Bai was tossed and turned in the bathtub by Nan Qi. Just as he was about to go to sleep in bed, the military terminal on the bedside table rang.
It's a message from Mellon: Star Police Chief Liv Cotton has already taken action, and we can also speed up the action.
Nan Qi looked at Bai apologetically, but still pulled Bai up to go with him.
This is a rare opportunity to practice spiritual combat, and I can feel more at ease knowing that I am by myself.
After pushing the sore Bai into the newly bought aircraft, Nan Qi turned on the privacy mode and flew out from the underground passage.
This secret passage was secretly built by Bai when he first bought the villa, under the pretext of renovation. At that time, he had Marshal Ai You blocking the way, so he was not under the surveillance of the Insect King. If it were now, he would definitely be discovered.
Now this secret passage is very convenient.
Nan Qi changed the color of the aircraft to pure black, and under the cover of night they quickly arrived at the residential area of the brave high-rise.
After stopping the aircraft, Nan Qi connected his own body, Bai's body, and the aircraft into his own void.
Then he let Bai lie on his head and climbed up the tall building nimbly.
