They walked out of the palace without any hindrance; the palace maids and servants must have all received orders.
As she approached, although they didn't call out "Your Highness," they still stood respectfully, bowed their heads, and watched her leave.
The palace gates were opened, and she immediately spotted the black car mixed in with the many other vehicles.
Beside the black car, Su Qiluo was leaning against the car waiting for her.
She walked quickly toward him, her heart filled with joy.
"You've been waiting for me here all this time?" She looked at Su Qiluo and smiled.
Su Qiluo lowered his head, reached out and hugged her, pulling her hands into his arms. "Well, I felt you definitely wouldn't stay in the palace, so I waited for you outside beforehand."
Hearing this, she nodded in satisfaction, reached around to his waist, hugged him, and gently leaned her head against him.
Su Qiluo has been working out for many years and has a great figure, but having a great figure is not necessarily a good thing. There is a hard muscle where her head rests, making it uncomfortable to lie down.
"Let's go back." She withdrew her hand, and Su Qiluo immediately opened the car door with his other hand, raised his hand and hovered above her head, and closed the car door after she was completely seated.
"How are the results of your doctoral research?" she asked softly, leaning back comfortably as she put on her protective gear.
"Not good at all. They were fine in the lab, but as soon as they were planted in the desert, the seeds died completely." Su Qiluo sighed helplessly.
The desert seeds were their last hope, but the trip failed. Perhaps it was his inevitable fate to perish together with that thing; there was no escaping it.
"It's alright. Anyway, the plants here have long been extinct, and everyone has adapted to life without plants. You don't need to be too anxious."
Mu Qingyun had no idea what Yi Beixuan and Mytel had done. She didn't even know what the doctor and Su Qiluo meant by "dying in the line of duty."
I thought they just wanted to quickly restore the planet's vegetation and return it to its original state, when the plants were lush and abundant.
"Hmm." Su Qiluo responded softly upon hearing this.
He can worry about this himself. The doctor and Yi Beixuan are already worried about him all the time, so there's no need to drag Mu Qingyun into it and add to her worries for no reason.
"By the way, we've passed the third stage. When is the entrance ceremony?" She rested her head on the car window and turned to look at Su Qiluo, who was focused on driving.
Su Qiluo thought for a moment, then raised his hand to press the auto-drive button, freeing his hands, and turned to chat with her, "I don't know, at least we have to wait for everyone to be here, aren't you and Mu Xueyao not here right now?"
"Oh." She nodded in response. "By the way, are you free tomorrow? I need your time for the whole day."
tomorrow?
Su Qiluo casually picked up the phone and glanced at it briefly. "No, I just have a meeting this afternoon to discuss the opening ceremony. After that, there's nothing else."
As he spoke, he handed her his phone, giving her complete control over how to look through it, allowing her to browse it at will.
She reached out and took it, hooking the phone with her index finger and supporting it with her palm. With a twist, she turned the phone off and handed it back.
She understands the significance of mobile phones in this era.
A mobile phone encompasses almost all of their social interactions, the content they like to watch, the comments they usually post, and the things they usually browse.
By handing over his phone, he meant he was willing to show her all his secrets.
But there's no need. Everyone needs their own private space. She trusts Su Qiluo, and she's confident that she doesn't need a phone to understand him.
"Aren't you going to look?" Su Qiluo asked instead of taking the phone.
Mu Qingyun narrowed her eyes slightly, habitually trying to see Su Qiluo's mood and thoughts from his face.
But Su Qiluo is not like some of the fools in the court. Although he does not understand political intrigue, he is better than most people at hiding his emotions.
"I won't look."
Although it's impossible to know what people are thinking, this answer is generally fine.
"Alright, I've given you a chance." Su Qiluo's lips curled into a mysterious smile. After putting his phone away, he reached out and held it up to her again, as if asking for something.
"Where's your phone? I need to see it."
"..."
"I've already given them to you, so you have to reciprocate and let me see yours too, right?" Su Qiluo smiled like a cunning fox, and with that devilish face, he really looked like a complete villain.
Looking at his face, Mu Qingyun chuckled: "You gave it to me voluntarily, you can't expect me to voluntarily hand over my phone to you."
Also, couples need some private space, right?
"Whether you look at that phone or not is not important. What's important is whether you're willing to give it to me." Su Qiluo reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling them both towards his shoulder with force.
Mu Qingyun felt a sudden dizziness, and the icy touch on her forehead disappeared, replaced by a warm and soft skin.
“I’d be willing to give it to you, but I don’t have one.” She looked up, her lips brushing against his chin. “The military academy took my phone and hasn’t given it back yet.”
She blinked, seemingly unconcerned about the phone issue.
Her phone was empty except for Xiong Lingfeng and his friend ID; the rest were traces of her searching for information about this world.
Oh right, she and Mu Xueyao both left immediately, and given the situation, no one was so inconsiderate as to send them their phones.
“Now no one on the internet is talking about your name. While I was waiting for you, I saw the King post an announcement.” He tapped her shoulder lightly with his fingers. “Mu Xueyao isn’t actually a princess. The King kept her around just for the title of ‘Glory of the Planet,’ right?”
"Yes, I was right there when he was talking to his subordinates." She reached out and grabbed his hand that was moving on her shoulder, pulling it down to a comfortable position where she could still hold him. "Did anyone comment on that announcement?"
“There are some.” Su Qiluo shook her head. “The comments below are very similar, all congratulating the King and the Princess, and there are no other comments.”
"Nobody's discussing me and you, or that we're actually women?" Mu Qingyun was a little surprised. The people on the internet were always calling her "princess," and some of her fans even dared to make sarcastic remarks about Mu Xueyao because of her.
Why are they all so quiet now, afraid to say a word?
“No, His Majesty has spoken. Who would dare to utter a word about the secrets of the palace? Would they want to live too long?” He followed her hand and pinched her cheek. “Besides, the public’s internet is controlled by the empire. Deleting unwanted comments or banning accounts is a piece of cake.”
