Chapter 146
Late at night.
Inside the palace, the queen looked gloomy as she looked at the brief information about interstellar pirates presented by her subordinates.
"I asked you to investigate, and you gave me such a perfunctory result? You are a bunch of rubbish! Get out of here and get punished!"
The guards kneeling below had their heads lowered, their bodies tense, and they endured the queen's wrath in fear and trepidation.
Interstellar pirates are elusive and have no regular patterns. Wherever they plunder, there are no survivors. How easy is it to investigate them?
What's more, after the space pirates changed their leader three years ago, their methods became even more powerful, and their understanding of the empire is simply shocking.
Every time they went there they came up empty-handed and were fooled around.
But the queen doesn't care about these things. She is ruthless and is cold and domineering even to her own son, let alone a group of dogs at her disposal.
After sending his subordinates away, the captain of the guard walked in.
"Queen, the descendants of Earl Victor have been settled."
Hearing this, the queen nodded indifferently, but her eyes were particularly deep: "I heard that he has advanced to an S-level male?"
"Yes, it was the female Shen Yinyin who helped to calm him down and advance."
The queen has heard Shen Yinyin's name too many times recently, and she does not hide her disgust for her.
"Since Earl Victor still has descendants, let's restore his title of Earl. The Empire has never been stingy with its meritorious officials."
"Also, remember to let Sally teach the new earl, and let him know that even if he is an earl, he still has to abide by the rules."
He is just a man who was abandoned by his wife. I don't think he can cause any trouble.
When Edward heard the Queen's arrangement for Yuri, he frowned, seeming dissatisfied with it.
After all, it was true that a hundred years ago, the rebel army rebelled and the Zerg invaded, and that Earl Victor's family was wiped out. It was also true that they declared to the outside world that they were heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country.
But their clan did not die at the hands of the Zerg, but died from the assassination order issued by the emperor and empress.
As for the reason, it was nothing more than to eliminate the threat and consolidate the imperial power...
Just like what the Queen did to Robert not long ago.
However, too much time has passed, and almost all people who knew the royal secrets have died. It doesn’t matter whether the earl’s descendants are killed or not.
Edward thought about it for a long time, but finally did not interfere with the queen's decision.
Anyway, a man who has lost his wife won't live long, so let's save his life for now...
The cold moonlight shone on the heroic profile of the emperor of the empire, which already had a few fine lines on it.
Between the light and shadow, the other half of his face hidden in the darkness looked like a hideous and cold monster alienated by power.
Yuri, who had suddenly moved to a luxurious residence, still did not wake up after the doctor left.
The servants passing by ignored the gray, genderless little boy in the corner.
The little boy originally wanted to repay Yuri for saving him, so he did not chase Shen Yinyin, but chose to stay with the unconscious Yuri and take care of him.
For a long time, the displaced, poor and thin little boy was afraid that his dirty hands and clothes would get dirty or something would be damaged when he saw the beautifully decorated and luxurious room in front of him.
I could only curl up nervously on the floor in the corner of the bed, taking a nap with my eyes closed, always alert.
At this moment, in a dark basement somewhere in the capital——
The middle-aged man, whose face was hidden in the darkness, looked at Shen Yinyin who was comforting Yuri on the computer screen and smiled with satisfaction.
"You are so beautiful and dazzling. There is no one more suitable than you..."
The middle-aged man murmured, and in a good mood, he handed a letter on the desk to his subordinate: "Give this to the new earl when he wakes up."
"Remember, don't let anyone find out."
"Yes, Lord!"
After the subordinates left, the middle-aged man opened the door and walked in the quiet and dim corridor with his black military boots. The sound of his slowly approaching sounded like a demon crawling out of hell.
The missing female who had humiliated Shen Yinyin and Winter in the cafe was shaking with fear when she heard the footsteps.
My eyes were already dry and red, and could no longer shed a single tear.
She kept making strange hoarse noises.
It's a pity that her tongue had been cut off long ago, and her empty mouth couldn't utter a single syllable.
The tall middle-aged man looked at the female who was once high and mighty but now reduced to a prisoner like a beast. He huddled in a dark corner in fear, the smile on his lips growing wider.
However, his smiling eyes were particularly eerie and terrifying.
"Aren't there still people who need to be comforted? Let them come over. Just don't kill them..."
female?
When their status is overturned, they can only be chained at their feet, serving as lowly slaves for them to vent their desires and obtain comfort.
He must make all females taste the humiliation and treatment that males have endured over the years!
The next day.
When Shen Yinyin opened her eyes, she found herself lying in her room, and Duke Leibert, with his eyelashes drooped, was sitting beside her bed.
The other person's large and warm palm was interlocked with her fingers, and the ruby rings touching each other gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
The others were either standing or sitting, standing by quietly with sullen expressions.
The handsome and heroic Winter was leaning against the cabinet, his brows furrowed and he remained silent.
In a trance, Shen Yinyin seemed to see her brother in the real world again through Winter.
Every time she was seriously ill, he would stand by her side with a stern expression, just like Winter.
However, Winter stayed at a distance, while her real brother always stayed by her bedside.
"Brother Wen..."
The girl's weak voice brought everyone back to their senses.
"Are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Duke Lebert helped the girl sit up before Winter approached.
Winter's outstretched hand paused in mid-air, but he finally retracted it.
The girl, who had slept all night, had her long black hair disheveled and her pretty face, which looked slightly pale, seemed overly fragile and soft because of her dazed expression.
The coldness between Winter's brows faded a lot, and he said in a gentle tone: "What's wrong with calling me suddenly?"
Shen Yinyin pursed her lips and whispered, "Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to see you..."
Winter looked at the weak appearance of the girl, and for some reason, the vague scene in his dream reappeared in his mind.
He glanced at Leibert and always felt that he should be the one to stay with her.
"Yin Yin, be good. I'm always here."
Shen Yinyin slowed down and asked, "By the way, how is Yuri?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned ugly for a moment.
Shen Yinyin knew that she shouldn't comfort a married man, but the situation was urgent, not to mention that the other party had saved her life.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pursed her light-colored lips, and took the initiative to hold Duke Leibert's hand.
"I'm sorry, please don't be mad at me, okay?"
Duke Lebert hugged Shen Yinyin and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not angry that you comforted him, I'm just angry that you don't take care of your body."
"Little guy, if you appease him, will you take him in as your male husband?"
Dalton leaned against the wall with one hand in his pants and asked with a dark expression.
After these words came out, Troy and Louis also looked at Shen Yinyin.
Shen Yinyin shook her head: "The bill won't allow it."
She had already made everyone suffer from criticism just by comforting Yuri.
Dalton opened his thin lips slightly, as if he was about to say something.
He wanted to ask, if the law allowed, would she really not despise the other party's identity as a matched person and accept him as her husband?
But he didn't dare ask.
Not only him, but everyone present did not dare to ask. They were afraid of getting answers they did not want to hear, so they all chose to remain silent.
When the atmosphere was slightly stagnant, Duke Leibert's subordinates suddenly came to report that Count Yuri was here to visit.
Overnight, Yuri, the once impoverished and humble hero, became an imperial noble.
The title of Earl is second only to Duke.
Although he is an earl with little real power, at least in terms of status, he is comparable to the men surrounding Shen Yinyin.
Duke Lebert knew that Shen Yinyin wanted to see Yuri, and he also knew that he could stop her this time but not the next time, so he simply gave in.
When the well-dressed Yuri appeared, he was accompanied by a cute and timid boy.
As soon as the little boy entered the door, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Shen Yinyin with tears in his eyes. The trusting and helpless look in his eyes was particularly pitiful.
"It's you?!"
Shen Yinyin's pupils suddenly shrank. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She got out of bed barefoot. With trembling fingertips, she gently hugged the only surviving little boy.
The people standing by looked at this strange scene and their faces became even uglier.
If I hadn't calculated the time, I would have known that this little boy couldn't be the child of Shen Yinyin and Yuri.
They almost thought that this was some bloody drama of an abandoned father and son coming to find his young wife, and the family of three reuniting...
