Ning Yi had no idea why he had come here so inexplicably.

The princess's private residence was guarded, and he sneaked in quietly.

The princess's shout of "666!" startled the guards nearby, who were peering out the window.

"What's over there? Who is the princess looking for?"

"What are you all doing? Go check on them!"

Seeing that the guards were about to come over to investigate, he gritted his teeth and angrily closed his eyes.

Jiang Zhixia leaned against the window, looking left and right.

A large, fluffy tail came into view.

The white fox walked out of the corner with elegant steps, raised its head and looked at me with its innocent beastly eyes.

Jiang Zhixia was moved.

"Little White, you're really back!"

See, Xiaobai still loves her! He hasn't forgotten her!

She turned and ran out, then happily went back into the house with the little fox in her arms.

When the guards saw that it was the princess's pet, they all stopped and exchanged surprised glances.

When did this fox get in? How come they didn't notice at all?

Ning Yi nestled in the fragrant embrace, quickly suppressing his suddenly agitated mental energy.

Damn it, it tastes like this again.

Jiang Zhixia lifted Xiaobai up, rubbed her cheek against its soft belly, and turned to show off to the other two males standing in the room.

"Look! Little White seems to have gotten a bit chubby; it must be really powerful outside!"

Ning Yi was forced to spread his belly out so she could rub it all over him, and his fox ears twitched violently twice.

No matter how many times it happens, he will never be able to get used to being treated like a pet by females!

Lu Jue looked at the fox with displeasure.

"Princess, please don't touch it. What if it's dirty?"

Su Chen chimed in, "Yeah, wild animals aren't clean. Let's give it a bath before we hug it."

The two men watched as the female happily embraced the fox, and a bitter feeling of envy welled up inside them.

It's just a pet, but the princess loves it terribly. She can't bear to let go of it even when she's sleeping, and she's more enthusiastic about it than about them.

Jiang Zhixia listened and looked at Xiaobai thoughtfully.

"That makes sense... but Xiaobai seems to be very clean; I can't see anything dirty on him."

She tugged at the big tail to check if the little fox was dirty.

Ning Yi jolted awake and quickly rolled over, clinging tightly to the female's shoulders to prevent her from exposing her private parts.

unacceptable!

It's perfectly clean! What are you looking at?!

Jiang Zhixia thought it was the little fox being affectionate with her, and she was overjoyed. "Little White is so good. Did you miss me and come back to see me?"

Ning Yi, in a fit of despair, nestled in her arms and gave a perfunctory whimper.

Why would I miss her? I was just passing by.

Yes, I was just passing by.

It was definitely not because he learned that Jiang Xue had murdered the princess that he came to see her!

Jiang Zhixia happily took out the little mat that Xiaobai was using, rubbed it for a while, and then let it go.

Ning Yi nestled on the mat and let out a deep sigh of relief.

Jiang Zhixia appears to be unharmed; the female who plotted to harm the princess must have failed.

She turned her head to examine the other two males.

My friend seems to be doing quite well; it looks like his cooperation with the military is going smoothly. This guy hasn't contacted me about smuggling illegal drugs in a long time.

As for that wolf clan...

He narrowed his fox-like eyes and casually glanced at Lu Jue's face.

This guy's sinner tattoo has disappeared.

He had been curious about why Jiang Zhixia was investigating Hailanxing's messy affairs, but after investigating, he found out that the wolf slave next to her was the Lu family descendant who had been framed.

Now that the tattoo on her face is gone, it's not hard to guess who she did it for.

They really spoil him, going to such lengths to help him get rid of his slave status.

I just don't know how long this favor will last.

Females are fickle. This guy has already fallen for her at first glance. Once the females get tired of him, the world will have one more person willing to die for a female.

Lu Jue met the fox's gaze, which held a hint of sympathy, and frowned blankly.

Why did he feel that this fox was more human-like than the last time he saw it?

Su Chen didn't care much about the fox, but the female's happy expression irritated him.

He stared at the fox on the mat, then looked at Lu Jue.

The princess seems to really like fluffy things, but her beast form doesn't have this characteristic.

The deer's antlers aren't very attractive, so it seems that using animalistic features to attract the princess won't work in the future.

He pondered under what circumstances it would be appropriate for him to step out of the role of "friend".

At that moment, the villa gate was kicked open with a loud bang!

"Xiaxia! Xiaxia, what's wrong?!"

An anxious voice burst in, accompanied by a messy head.

Lu Jue and Su Chen instinctively became alert instantly.

But after recognizing who it was, they all stood at attention and saluted.

"Your Highness."

Jiang Huai, looking travel-worn, rushed in without even glancing at them, heading straight for his sister.

"Second brother? What's wrong...?"

Jiang Zhixia turned her head in surprise and was startled by her second brother's appearance.

Before he could finish speaking, he was grabbed by the arm and thoroughly examined from side to side.

"Are you alright? Jiang Xue tried to assassinate you? Are you injured?"

"Second brother, second brother! Calm down, I'm fine!"

She spun around in her second brother's hands like a top, feeling dizzy and disoriented, before trying to stop him.

Jiang Huai looked her over nervously: "Are you really alright?"

She grinned, amused.

I was about to tease him a bit, but after seeing his face, I paused and gave up the idea of ​​joking.

My second brother has always been very strict about his appearance, but now his hair is messy, his eyes are bloodshot, and even his delicate features look very haggard. He looks like he hasn't slept for days.

It seems that the news of Jiang Xue's plot to kill him has worried him.

She immediately and earnestly jumped twice on the spot.

"Second brother, don't underestimate me. Jiang Xue can't hurt me! Look, I'm perfectly fine!"

Jiang Huai breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw how lively she was.

She wiped her face, her expression resentful.

"You're alright, but your second brother was almost scared to death!"

He had been away from the Empire for some time, and upon hearing the news of his sister's murder, he rushed back overnight.

Although her parents had told her on the way that her younger sister was alright, they still couldn't stop worrying. Now that they saw her lively and energetic, they were finally relieved.

Jiang Zhixia chuckled and quickly pulled him down to sit.

Lu Jue and Su Chen exchanged a glance and respectfully stepped back.

Although this second prince has a very eccentric way of doing things, he is different from that shameless Jiang Ting. He is the princess's own brother.

One of them is a "husband who hasn't been officially confirmed yet," and the other is a "friend." There's no reason for them to stay and bother each other.

Jiang Huai sprawled on the sofa, glancing at the two men who had retreated to the corner.

Why is my sister's ex-husband still around?

She really liked Su Chen so much that she stayed even after his mental energy was rendered useless?

That sinner... sigh, I can't mention it, I can't mention it. My mother has repeatedly expressed in her communications that my sister cares about him much more than she did with Bai Zhiyu back then.

He didn't care about his sister's private affairs. The exhaustion of the past few days and the sudden relaxation made the usually carefree Second Prince look a little listless.

Jiang Zhixia leaned closer curiously: "Where have you been lately? You look so tired."

Jiang Huai sighed, "Getting busy with important matters."

He turned to look at his sister, his handsome eyebrows furrowing sharply: "That Jiang Xue is incredibly bold, daring to harm you! Don't worry, she won't live much longer!"

Jiang Zhixia was somewhat moved, thinking that her second brother meant to avenge her, and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes! Second brother, you don't know the verdict yet, do you? Besides assassinating me, she's also guilty of treason! Once her crimes are fully investigated, she'll be executed!"

The information Mingye provided was so detailed that it would only take a few days to thoroughly investigate Jiang Xue.

She was also thinking that once Jiang Xue was convicted, she would take control of the case and let Lu Jue avenge his family himself.

But her second brother's next words left her stunned.

"Wait? There's no need to wait. The Federation has come to visit the Empire with evidence of her crimes over the years. That scumbag won't live past tonight!"

Jiang Zhixia's expression froze: "...Huh?"

Who is carrying the evidence?

federal??

Not only was she stunned, but Lu Jue in the corner was also momentarily bewildered.

Then his eyes became wary.

The Federation has gained so many benefits from Jiang Xue, why is she coming now? Did she use some tricks?

Su Chen frowned slightly.

The trial just ended yesterday, and the investigation is still ongoing, yet the federal government has already arrived with incriminating evidence.

Even if Jiang Xue has become a useless pawn and the Federation wants to kick her aside, how quickly did they get the news?

In the entire room, apart from Jiang Huai, only Ning Yi, who was eavesdropping, was completely unsurprised.

He wagged his tail and lay lazily on the mat.

Dark Street's information network spans all star systems. Shortly after news of the princess's murder broke, he discovered that the Federation had suddenly made a move.

Every single one of the federal dukes who made deals with Hailanxing was executed, and their heads were cut off by a deranged freak.

They're on their way here now, trying to provoke the royal family.

……

Meanwhile, at the Central City Starport.

The fleet, bearing the Federation's insignia, slowly descended, and the hatches opened.

A tall, slender figure walked out from inside.

The man wore a clean, bright white robe, his dark green hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and his facial features were clean and gentle. When he stepped into the light, he revealed a refreshing and harmless smile.

He looked at the heavily armed army in front of him, and the man with a cold aura standing at the very front.

"It's been a long time, Your Highness of the Empire."

Jiang Ting looked at him indifferently and raised his hand in a gesture of greeting.

The soldiers stepped forward to begin the routine inspection.

The man smiled kindly and opened his arms to let them search him.

He only spoke slowly after the search was completed.

"Does Your Highness dislike me so much that you don't even greet me?" He tilted his head, his expression innocent and naive, but the malice in his eyes was undisguised. "I'm here to bring you good things."

Jiang Ting looked away in disgust.

After his men finished searching, he turned and left.

He was aloof by nature, but not without manners.

But this male is disgusting.

Mu Huaye is the only male snake clan member in the Federation to be granted the title of First-Class Duke while remaining single.

He had fought this male more than once, and even on the battlefield where life and death were commonplace, the guy's ruthless methods of indiscriminately attacking friend or foe still made him despise him.

Mu Huaye squinted in the sunlight, not at all surprised by the reaction of the imperial general.

After all, they had been facing off on the battlefield for so long, so of course they knew each other well.

He followed at a leisurely pace, saying, "Your Highness, please don't walk so fast. My men are carrying the gifts we brought; it wouldn't be good if they fell out."

Jiang Ting paused, glancing sideways at what was behind him.

Several Federation soldiers were carrying two crates, each about half a person's height, down from the ship's hold. The crates were well-sealed, so it was impossible to tell what was inside.

But his sense of smell was always keen, and he could detect a faint smell of blood through the box.

His gaze darkened slightly. "This is the good stuff you brought?"

Mu Huaye nodded immediately, pointing to the boxes, "Yes! To show my sincerity, I chopped off the heads of those who stole your supplies, and they're right here!"

Jiang Ting: "..."

This madman brought a bunch of heads to visit the Empress and His Majesty?

The madman seemed completely oblivious to anything amiss, grinning with pride.

"How about that? See how sincere I am? I found out what they did, immediately stopped the war, and personally sent them here to apologize. Is Your Highness not satisfied?"
