Transmigrated into a useless female in interstellar space, she won big by picking up an SSS-level be

For the next two days, Jiang Zhixia didn't even catch a glimpse of Lu Jue.

Upon learning of the possibility that the Insect Queen could "come back to life after death," Wu Zhan immediately ordered her to be placed in complete confinement.

The military headquarters was in an even bigger mess, waiting to be cleaned up.

Although the Zerg have surrendered, the fate of the prisoners remains uncertain, as does the defensive line need to be contracted, and there's still the Federation waiting to be negotiated...

With a wave of his hand, Wu Zhan handed over most of the heavy responsibility to Lu Jue.

They euphemistically call it "young people should exercise more."

Lu Jue quickly accepted the task, and instead of collapsing from exhaustion, he became more and more energetic as he worked.

The reason is simple—Jiang Zhixia fed him too much.

After his SSS-level susceptibility period was completely soothed, Lu Jue was incredibly energetic and had plenty of stamina.

Wu Zhan saw this and muttered to himself.

Did Jiang Ting have that much energy back then?

He glanced silently at the mountain of documents piled on his desk, his face darkening.

That brat Jiang Huai! He'll get what's coming to him when he gets back!

……

Another day has passed.

Jiang Zhixia sat cross-legged on the soft couch in the bedroom, counting the days on her fingers.

My mother and second brother will arrive the day after tomorrow, and Su Chen and Jiang Ting will arrive in about ten days...

It's so slow.

Just as I was counting on my fingers, there was a gentle knock on the door.

She thought Lu Jue had finally finished his work and returned, but then she heard a servant reporting from outside the door.

"Your Highness, Mr. Ning Yi requests an audience."

Ning Yi?

Wasn't he busy in the dark alley?

"Let him come in."

A short while later, Ning Yi came in, carrying an exquisite food box.

He came to the palace to pay his respects to the princess in a proper manner, and he was dressed very formally.

His long, silvery-white hair was loosely tied behind his head, with a few stray strands falling beside his face. His rarely seen light blue aristocratic attire softened his originally alluring demeanor.

"Your Highness."

He even gave a very dignified bow!

This behavior left Jiang Zhixia completely bewildered.

But as soon as the attendant left, Ning Yi's true colors were revealed.

He abandoned his aloofness, took a few steps closer, and leaned against her like a boneless creature.

"Princess, I've missed you so much, it's been so many days!"

Jiang Zhixia: "..." That's more like it.

"Why are you here?"

"It was your husband who told me," Ning Yi said, pursing her lips and fiddling with a stray strand of hair. "Lu Jue messaged me saying he's been very busy these past few days and doesn't have time to spend with you. He also said you're preoccupied with something and must be feeling down, so he asked me to keep you company."

She was stunned.

Lu Jue asked Ning Yi to come and keep him company?

Although she has been quite irritable these past few days because of the insect mother, isn't Lu Jue acting too strangely?

Ning Yi was also puzzled, "Did Lu Jue take the wrong medicine?"

Why would someone try to take such a good thing upon themselves?

He seemed to realize something, and looked up suspiciously. "Princess, is it because you haven't been eating properly these past few days that Lu Jue had no choice but to send me here?"

Jiang Zhixia protested her innocence, "I didn't! I have a great appetite!"

Despite her frustration, she didn't miss a single meal.

Although Su Chen provided her with special meals at the front lines, she often ate nutritional supplements. After returning, she wished she could summon all the chefs from the palace to cook a variety of dishes for her.

Ning Yi was skeptical, but got up and opened the food box.

Inside are all kinds of exquisite pastries.

"These were made by several high-end restaurants under Dark Street. I specially had them deliver them to you. Please try them."

Jiang Zhixia looked at the delicious-looking pastries, silently shut her mouth and stopped arguing, happily picking up a piece.

"Mmm! Delicious!"

Ning Yi watched her eat with a smile on her face, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Princess, what's making you unhappy?"

Jiang Zhixia chewed on her snack, hesitated for a moment, and then told him about the insect mother.

They can be brought back to life, but they can't be killed or kept alive. If they're imprisoned, we don't know when the problem will be solved.

"And another thing," she sighed, "after my achievements were made public, the nobles' intentions were still unclear. The change to the female protection law was a decision made by my mother, father, and me. If it is met with strong opposition from the nobles, it will be very difficult."

After hearing this, Ning Yi was first taken aback by the strangeness of the "mutant insect mother".

What kind of creature is this? Can't we even kill it?

Upon hearing about the nobles' movements, he thoughtfully pinched a pastry and offered it to Jiang Zhixia's lips.

The Insect Queen didn't have any good ideas, but regarding the nobles...

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Lu Jue, dressed in military uniform, walked in looking travel-worn. He immediately saw Ning Yi holding a snack and feeding it to Jiang Zhixia.

He paused in his steps.

It was indeed his idea to bring Ning Yi to the palace.

On the one hand, he was too busy, and the princess was upset by the insect queen's remarks, so he didn't have time to spend with her.

Another reason was that he felt a little sorry for Ning Yi.

The Empress Dowager and His Majesty meant that they wanted to keep an eye on Ning Yi and prevent him from taking advantage of the princess.

But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any ulterior motives the fox might have.

Even though he was practically throwing himself at her, Her Majesty the Empress was still uneasy. Despite having revealed that she hadn't noticed anything, she hadn't retracted her decision to make Ning Yi her concubine.

Jiang Zhixia looked over in surprise, "Lu Jue! You're done with your work?"

"My lady, I've taken some time to come back and see you, but I have to leave again soon."

Lu Jue sat down on her other side, saw the pastries in her arms, picked one up and put it in his mouth, sighed wistfully, "I can rest when Jiang Ting comes back."

Ning Yi looked at him with a chilling gaze. "You're really not being polite. Was this food for you?"

Lu Jue chewed a couple of times and then gave his comments.

"What's with the stinginess? This tastes good, but it seems a little worse than Su Chen's."

"...You're really something."

Cooking a meal was enough to bribe this wolf cub, and he even knows how to speak up for Su Chen!

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Jiang Zhixia quickly fed them a pastry in each hand, one in each hand.

"Come on, everyone, eat!"

Lu Jue and Ning Yi were both stuffed with food at the same time. They looked at each other and tacitly lowered their heads to eat their snacks.

Jiang Zhixia was satisfied.

Ning Yi swallowed the pastry in his mouth before speaking: "Princess, I can't be of much help with the matter of the Insect Queen at the moment, but I do know a little about the movements of the nobles."

Lu Jue looked at him.

"There are so many nobles, how many could you possibly know?"

"Major General Lu, most of my businesses are targeted at nobles, especially noblewomen, so I naturally know more about them."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhixia suddenly understood.

Yes, the Dark Street has now replaced the Ning family's business and controls the East District, which is a gathering place for noblewomen!

"What news do you have? Tell me quickly!"

Ning Yi recalled carefully: "Actually, there were already signs of the reform of the Female Protection Law. Most noble families did not react, but some noble females had already begun to inquire about the reform of the Female Protection Law in private, just waiting for the accurate information to be released. I guess those females agree to the reform."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhixia's eyes widened slightly.

Sure enough, although females have always been protected, not all females have been ruined by being raised like this; some people can still see the potential difficulties!

She happily ate another pastry, and her mood improved significantly.

Just then, the personal terminal beeped, receiving a message.

She looked down and suddenly stood up.

"Great! Mother and my second brother can come back early! They'll arrive tomorrow!"
