Yue Zhan’s holiday had just ended, and he was recently called back to work in the military.

Yi Nuo has a special status. When he arrived at the headquarters of the Space Force, he went in without being stopped.

Yue Zhan’s guard also knew him, so he sent a direct message and invited him to the office.

When Yi Nuo walked into the office, he saw Yue Zhan making a holographic call, training his subordinates stationed at the Blue Star Base.

As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by the atmosphere in the room. At this time, Yue Zhan was very similar to the first time they had met, the warmth in his eyes when he was with him was gone, and his gaze was sharp and cold.

When he didn’t speak, his aura was already very frightening. When he spoke, the several holographic figures in front of him immediately lowered their heads. It was clear that several people were wearing military uniforms, and their backs were still straight, but Yi Nuo always felt a sense of hesitation.

When Yue Zhan talked, he was not like the emperor or some bigwig in the military, who would burst into anger when they opened their mouths. He only stared at the other party with his cold eyes, his tone was unhurried, but he asked sharp questions. This kind of blunt knife helps to sharpen people, but it also makes people feel more psychologically stressed.

Yi Nuo blinked and thought—

[Did I come at a bad time?]

When Yue Zhan saw him through the holographic image, his face instantly softened, and when he talked to his subordinates again, his tone also slowed down a lot.

“Forget about it this time. Write your own self-criticism review and receive punishment according to the regulations of the base. In addition, the security level of the base should be raised by one level. Don’t relax without fighting. I don’t want similar things to happen again.”

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, waved it, and said, “Hang up.”

The soldiers immediately felt relieved and thought to themselves: This time, we were really lucky. We thought we would be severely punished, but at the last moment, our situation turned around.

Someone quietly glanced in the direction of the door before hanging up. When he saw Yi Nuo, he immediately understood.

No wonder Commander Yue was suddenly as warm as spring, so it was the little prince, cough, thank the little prince for saving his life.

After the few figures disappeared, Yue Zhan’s eyes became softer. He got up and walked to the door, carefully held Yi Nuo’s hand, and asked softly, “Why did you suddenly come here? Is the baby good today? Did it kick you?”

Yi Nuo: “…”

[He/She is just an unformed egg, how can it kick me?]

Yue Zhan: “…”

Yue Zhan placed his hand against his lips and coughed lightly, looked away in embarrassment, and said to the guard outside the door, “Go and pour a glass of milk.”

Yi Nuo looked back at the guard, then at him, and asked, “Am I bothering you?”

Yue Zhan hugged him, walked to the sofa, and sat down. He shook his head and said, “No, I have nothing to do recently.”

This was true. Most of Yue Zhan’s work was on the front line. When he was in Space Force Headquarters, he was actually quite free.

Although there had been some issues with the security of the Imperial Capital recently, such as allowing people from the Sea Country to sneak into the palace, this was not within the scope of his responsibilities. He wanted to help arrest people, but he couldn’t blatantly grab the job of the intelligence department and the security department of the Imperial Capital.

The Imperial Capital Star was not like the Blue Star base, where he could have the final say on security.

This model of multi-department coordination had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that no one would be allowed to become a big player. The disadvantage was… that it delayed things.

Because of this, Yue Zhan had not been able to find Zhang Yu. Of course, this still had something to do with Zhang Yu’s slipperiness and skill with disguise.

“By the way, guess what I got to know today?” Yi Nuo didn’t know what Yue Zhan was worried about. Knowing that he hadn’t disturbed the other party, he finally spoke up.

“What’s the matter?” Yue Zhan asked cooperatively.

Yi Nuo looked at him and said seriously, “I just found out today that not long after I was snatched by my father, I was born.”

Yue Zhan thought he was sentimental about his life experience, so he took him into his arms and comforted him, “It’s okay, you have me now, and my parents, they also…”

“No, that’s not the point.” Yi Nuo interrupted him, and said seriously, “I found out that there is no need for the parents to hatch the egg together for it to break the shell.”

Yue Zhan: “…”

As smart as he was, he instantly understood what Yi Nuo meant, and his expression froze for a moment.

Damn, the “fraudulent marriage” was discovered by the daughter-in-law, what should I do? Waiting online, hurry!

Yue Zhan’s brain was running very fast. When he met the little prince’s inquisitive eyes, he quickly pretended to be surprised, “Really? Is there such a thing? In a research paper on the Internet…”

“What paper?” Yi Nuo interrupted him, blinked, and said, “I haven’t read it, but I want to.”

Yue Zhan: “…” Of course, I can’t find it.

Ten minutes later, Yi Nuo took a sip of milk, glanced at Yue Zhan, who was looking for information from time to time, and said leisurely, “Have you found it yet? Alas, did I delay your working time? Actually, I’m just a little curious. Who is the scholar who writes papers so carelessly without proof? He really lacks the spirit of scientific research, alas.”

Yue Zhan saw that he was pretending to sigh, how could he not tell that he was acting intentionally?

Yi Nuo looked at him at this time, and said, “Could it be… there is no such scholar at all and you made it up to cheat me?”

Yue Zhan suddenly put down the terminal, walked over, and took the milk from the little prince.

Yi Nuo was taken aback, stared at his empty hands, and then looked up at him again.

[Don’t give me milk before I get married? Oh, liar.]

Just as he thought about it, he was pushed down on the sofa by Yue Zhan, and his wrists were also clenched and pressed on top of his head.

Yi Nuo: “…”

He blinked and asked, “What do you want to do?”

Yue Zhan put one knee between his legs, leaned over to look at him, and said, “Suddenly, I also remembered something.”

Yi Nuo: “?”

“Where did His Highness see the method for taking care of the baby… huh? Maybe some scholar wrote it casually without proof. I think… we should investigate it.”

Yi Nuo: “!!”

[That’s too, too shameless, all right? In your previous life, didn’t you… Oh no, I almost forgot, it’s fake.]

Fake?

Yue Zhan raised his eyebrows. Although he didn’t understand what was going on, he still said along the way, “Or…there is no such scholar at all, and His Highness just made it up to cheat me?”

Yi Nuo: “!!!”

[But I… didn’t do it on purpose.]

Yi Nuo thought a little guilty, and his eyes began to wander.

Yue Zhan leaned closer and closer, and when his lips almost touched Yi Nuo’s earlobe, he said softly, “But why did Your Highness lie to me? Could it be that you wanted to have sex with me…”

“You, you don’t talk nonsense!” Yi Nuo suddenly exploded his hair and moved back with his legs curled up.

Yue Zhan hugged him into his arms, kissed his earlobe, and said, “Okay, I’m just kidding.”

Yi Nuo still looked at him vigilantly, as if he was a beast that would pounce on him at any time, drag him to his den, and eat him up.

Yue Zhan had no choice but to cough lightly and explain, “I really didn’t understand it at the time. I just remembered that the birds and orcs in the Federation had their parents hatch their eggs together. In addition, mermaids also lay eggs, so… so I just guessed.”

“However, although the idea of incubating the egg together is false; after we were together, we realized our feelings for each other, didn’t we?”

Yue Zhan began to gently (suddenly) coax (lightly) again, thinking that it was mainly to let the little prince recognize his feelings.

As for himself, he recognized it as early as when they were on the Blue Star Base.

Unexpectedly, the little prince pushed him aside and ran a few steps away, and reluctant to admit it, he said stiffly, “Who, who said that? You are just a hatching tool.”

“Oh?” Yue Zhan got up after him and leisurely walked up to him, pinched his chin, leaned over, and asked, “An incubating tool… can kiss His Highness like this?”

As he spoke, he bowed his head and kissed that stubborn mouth.

Yi Nuo was caught off guard and his eyes widened.

After a long time, he was breathless, and couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed.

No, he obviously came to settle the accounts, but why did he get settled?

Yue Zhan hugged him, looking like a satisfied cat stealing fish.

Fortunately, he knew that he couldn’t do too much, and after gaining some benefits, he actively apologized, “I was wrong, I shouldn’t have lied to His Highness…”

Yi Nuo looked at him with resentful eyes.

Yue Zhan immediately swore, “There will be no next time. I’ll follow whatever His Highness says in the future.”

Yi Nuo pursed his lips and looked at him, “Then, if I say you are an incubating tool?”

Yue Zhan gritted his teeth, “I really am.”

Yi Nuo was satisfied. He stood on tiptoe and said, “Look at your performance in the future, if you do well…”

“Reward hatching another little fish treasure?” Yue Zhan hinted meaningfully.

“You’re dreaming!” Yi Nuo immediately became annoyed.

But Yue Zhan knew that the little prince was frying his hair again.

The two stayed in the room for less than half an hour. When the guard opened the door again, he felt that the office was full of the sour smell of love.

He coughed lightly and reminded, “Sir, you have a meeting this afternoon.”

Hearing this, Yi Nuo immediately got up and said, “Then I won’t continue to bother you.”

“I’ll see you off.” Yue Zhan also stood up.

When the two walked out of the Space Force headquarters, Yi Nuo suddenly said, “By the way, I want to see that turtle.”

In fact, he could directly mention it to the emperor, but he somehow didn’t want to bother the emperor.

Yue Zhan understood what he meant, and immediately said, “I will arrange it with the security department.”

After speaking, he glanced at the time and added, “We’ll go together.”

Yi Nuo nodded in agreement. After getting on the levitation car, he wanted to go back to his manor in the imperial capital, but Lu Xien suddenly called and said that the emperor had fallen ill.

Lu Xien’s sorrowful tone seemed to imply that the emperor would die in the next second.

A moment later, the eldest prince and Princess Lily also called to talk about this matter and asked him to go and see him together.

Yi Nuo had no choice but to ask the driver to turn the car around and go to the Royal Hospital.

When Yi Nuo arrived at the hospital, the eldest prince and Princess Lily had already asked about the situation, and they were sitting outside the ward eating apples.

When Yi Nuo saw them, he knew the emperor’s condition shouldn’t be serious, so he couldn’t help feeling relieved.

It wasn’t that he had deep feelings for Scott, but because of the influence of the Mei En incident, several great lords of the empire had been restless recently and ready to move.

If something happened to the emperor at this time and the throne was passed over, it was hard to guarantee that the big lords would not cause any trouble.

Yi Nuo sighed, walked over, and asked the eldest prince and Princess Lily: “What’s going on inside…?”

The eldest prince threw away the apple core and said, “It’s nothing. Angina pectoris was caused by overwork and emotional excitement. Oh yes, there also seems to be a stomach problem.”

After saying this, he muttered in a low voice, “Oh, it seems that being an emperor is not good. Father is only 50 years old, and he’s already exhausted and with health problems. Only one-fifth of his life has passed.”

Princess Lily hit him on the head and warned, “What nonsense are you talking about? Is this something you can say?”

After speaking, she pulled Yi Nuo over and whispered, “I think it’s probably because of those words on the Internet. I heard that he vomited blood again.”

On the day of the live broadcast, the emperor’s earth-shattering roar made him the laughingstock of netizens, and he was also attacked by his political opponents. In short, the public has given him a very bad evaluation recently.

“In my case, I just glance at those comments on the Internet and ignore them. Is it necessary to be so serious? If I took them as seriously as him, I don’t know how many times I would have been pissed off already.” The eldest prince shook his head and sighed.

As the holder of the title of “The Most Powerful Member of the Royal Family Sprayed by Netizens”, he really didn’t understand why the emperor was so angry with netizens.

As an insider, Yi Nuo was thoughtful and didn’t respond. He just said, “I’ll go in and have a look.”

If his guess was correct, the emperor should not be angry because of the online public opinion, but because of him.

But, he didn’t do anything?

Yi Nuo felt very innocent.

Pushing open the ward’s door, he saw that the emperor was just awake. He slowly moved over and asked dryly, “You… you’re not angry because of me, are you?”

Seeing Yi Nuo coming, the emperor’s eyes brightened, and he said softly, “It’s nothing, dear child, don’t think about it.”

“Oh.” Yi Nuo nodded, relieved, and said, “That’s good.”

He just said that he didn’t do anything at all.

“Then… don’t think so much about it. Take good care of yourself. The empire can’t be in disorder now. What’s more…” Yi Nuo scratched his head, and said a little confused, “Don’t always talk about compensating me. I don’t need it, and I’m not used to it. Is it not good to be the same as before? Anyway, it has been like this for nearly twenty years, and you suddenly became like this… I am also very troubled. “

After saying this, Yi Nuo was afraid that his statement was too vague and the emperor would not be able to understand it, so he deliberately said, “So…do you understand what I mean?”

How could the emperor not understand? He thought that his belated compensation was not only useless but also troublesome and suspected of moral kidnapping.

The light in the emperor’s eyes dimmed. He wanted to explain that it wasn’t him who asked Lu Xien to call him to visit him, but he felt that such an explanation would only make Yi Nuo feel more disgusted.

How come others benefited when they suffered, but when it was his turn, he was blamed instead?

The emperor was dumbfounded for a moment, and finally only sighed, “I understand what you mean, don’t worry, I won’t… trouble you again.”

Yi Nuo nodded and got up to leave.

Lu Xien had been guarding outside of the ward. When Yi Nuo came out, he glanced at the emperor’s face through the crack of the door and knew that the father and son parted on bad terms again.

He couldn’t help sighing. He followed Yi Nuo and carefully said, “Little Highness, do you know…why does His Majesty have stomach problems?”

Yi Nuo thought to himself: He doesn’t have a regular diet, why else could it be?

Lu Xien lowered his voice and whispered, “His Majesty has been holding that egg all year round, so its coldness hurt his stomach.”

As expected, Yi Nuo looked surprised and said, “Is there such a thing?”

Lu Xien nodded, feeling a little relieved.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Yi Nuo called Yue Zhan and said in shock, “Did you know? If you keep hatching eggs, you will get a cold stomach and stomach problems.”

Yue Zhan: “???”

Lu Xien: “???”

“I heard that I broke the shell after five years, so little fish treasure… will it take five or ten years for it to break the shell? What if I have stomach problems?” Yi Nuo was worried.

Lu Xien: “…” This father-son relationship seems to be irreversible.

At the other end of the phone, Yue Zhan coughed lightly, and said, “It’s okay, since it’s so serious, don’t incubate it. After the little fish treasure is born, leave it to me.”

“How can that work?” Yi Nuo subconsciously retorted.

“Hey, be obedient. I heard from Dr. Du that you can’t catch a cold after giving birth.” Yue Zhan coaxed him.

Yi Nuo still shook his head and said, “No, by the way, have you finished the meeting? Let’s ask the turtle. He must have experience in hatching eggs.”
