Cure the S-class male beast, the female is the imperial treasure

Chapter 196 Queen's Selection Competition

The starship sped along, heading straight for the central star.

When the familiar villa came into view, Yu Lan felt a surge of excitement that she herself was unaware of.

I wonder what Yu Wenzhou is doing now.

Click——

The villa door was pushed open.

Several people filed in.

The noise made Yu Wenzhou's fingers tremble as he lay on the bed in the bedroom.

"Is Yu Wenzhou not home today?"

When Yu Wenzhou was not found in the villa's living room, a look of disappointment flashed across Yu Lan's face.

She had to admit that at this moment, she really wanted to see Yu Wenzhou, as well as Shen Zhuoran.

She had assumed that even if the two of them didn't go to Star Harbor after receiving the message, they would be waiting for her at home.

Standing beside Yu Lan, Huo Zhanting frowned almost imperceptibly, a hint of doubt flashing in his golden eyes.

What exactly happened to Yu Wenzhou today?

It was already puzzling that we didn't see him at Star Harbor.

They're not even in the villa now.

Is there really something wrong with him? Is he afraid they'll come back and settle scores with him, so he ran away beforehand?
wrong.

Yu Wenzhou isn't home, fine, but where did Shen Zhuoran go?

For a time, it was shrouded in mystery.

at this time
The sound of someone rapidly approaching came from outside.

Everyone looked up and saw that they were members of the fully armed royal guard.

"Whoo~"

The guards all had a slight flush on their faces from running so fast.

"Your Highness Yu Lan, we've finally found you."

"Her Majesty the Queen invites you to the palace as soon as possible; she has important matters to discuss with you."

Before Huo Zhanting and the others could refuse, he quickly turned to look at them:

"Marshal Huo, you may also come along."

"Princess Louisa is already at the palace."

It's quite clear that this incident might also be related to Louisa.

Yu Lan, Huo Zhanting, and the others frowned simultaneously, completely baffled as to what good could come of Belina inviting both of them together at the same time.

However, since the Queen had given the order, he had no choice but to comply.

Seeing the anxious expressions on the faces of the guards, Yu Lan and the other men exchanged glances, nodded, and headed straight for the palace.

*
"I have decided to abdicate."

As soon as Yu Lan and Huo Zhanting entered the palace hall, they were greeted by Bellina's announcement of her decision to abdicate.

Such abruptness is baffling.

No one expected her to make such a decision.

Louisa, standing beside her, panicked and called out anxiously.

"Mother!"

Is Belina going to pass the throne to Yu Lan today?
If Yu Lan were to truly ascend the throne, Louisa already knew that her fate would not be good.

“Mother, you are still young, why do this?”

"The children should study under you for a few more years."

Compared to Louisa's anxiety, Yu Lan's expression remained unchanged.

He simply stood there quietly, watching the scene unfold before him.

Maintaining the status quo.

Who knows if this was a trap set for her by Belina?

Looking at the calm Yu Lan, a hint of resentment flashed in Belina's eyes. Sure enough, if she's not her own child, she can't be tamed.

If it weren't for the huge revelation that Qi Jingshen made before his defection, causing a huge uproar and indignation among countless people, even the nobles on the central star would have questioned her governing ability.

How could Bellina possibly offer to abdicate voluntarily?

Of course, if she doesn't bring it up again, she'll be reduced to being overthrown.

She didn't want to become the first queen in history to be deposed by the people, so by taking the initiative, she could at least save face.

Belina took a deep breath, raised her hand and patted the back of Louisa's hand that was tightly gripping hers, her voice weak and defeated:

"You've probably all heard about what happened recently through StarNet."

"Countless people questioned the quality of the royal family's education, and the royal family's reputation has fallen to its lowest point ever."

"Furthermore, countless people have called for the abolition of the monarchy."

"The glory of the empire over thousands of years cannot be lost in my hands. The recent conflicts, upon closer examination, are nothing more than a struggle for the throne."

“In that case,” Bellina paused, looking at Yu Lan:

"I'm giving you a fair and just chance to compete."

"Give the people the power to choose the next queen, and let them choose the queen they believe in."

As soon as Belina finished speaking, Louisa's expression changed instantly.

In terms of popularity among casual viewers, no matter what, she can't compare to Yu Lan, who developed a drug that can solve the problem of male estrus.

In terms of reputation, following Qi Jingshen's revelations, people's impression of her has changed from gentle and kind to that of a venomous scorpion.

Belina chose to abdicate, also because she wanted to resolve this matter for Louisa one last time.

When she announces her abdication, she will take all the blame for the mess she has made during this period.

Thus, Louise could become the next queen cleanly.

At this moment, seeing the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Belina waved her hand.

Immediately, a guard standing at the door brought forward a prop that clearly looked like a lottery ticket.

Belina's voice rang out:

"These involve choosing between two different planets."

"Regardless of the size of the area or the benefits of disasters, the support rate for the empire is almost the same."

"You can verify this with someone at any time later; it will be absolutely fair and impartial."

"Let's draw lots now. After that, we'll immediately set off for the planet to govern it."

"Whoever governs the planet better and has higher support for the empire will be the next queen."

Upon closer examination, this is truly the fairest choice imaginable.

Since Belina can say this to my face, she can definitely guarantee that no problems will be found when they are investigated.

But before Yu Lan could think about whether there might be any hidden dangers, Bellina's gaze fell on her.

"Lanlan."

Belina raised her hand and tapped the lottery tube in front of her. "You go first."

In this way, no matter what happens later, it can't be blamed on her.

Louisa, who was about to step forward first, froze for a moment, quickly withdrew her hand, and stepped aside to make way:
"Lanlan is the younger sister, Lanlan goes first."

Yu Lan glanced at Li Yucheng and the others, and the men nodded to her almost imperceptibly.

In any case, they will help their mistress achieve victory this time.

As Yu Lan took one of the wooden skewers out, Belina added casually:
"By the way, to ensure fairness..."

"You are not allowed to use any of the princess's property in this competition."

"We can only rely on our intelligence to solve the various problems that come our way."

"Of course, this includes the help provided by the beastman, which is also within the prohibited scope."

"Only in this way can it be considered fair."

"Lanlan, are you right?"

Fairness itself is the greatest injustice.
