I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 181 Conspiracy

"I still have a fever. Keep the fish tail and soak in water for the next few days." Li Jia said, and deliberately added, "You have to sleep in the water at night."

If it weren't for the fact that the matter with the orcs could not be delayed any longer, Li Jia really didn't want to leave at this time.

Not long after returning from Sirius, Qi Yan fell ill.

Li Jia had anticipated this. This was the sequelae of severe dehydration, just like a string that is stretched too tight and suddenly relaxed, which often brings about various backlashes.

Coupled with the drastic changes in the environment, various factors caused Qi Yan's body to be overloaded.

He had a weak constitution to begin with, and even though Liga had prepared all kinds of drinking water and nutritional supplements for his trip to Sirius, he did not expect to be attacked by monsters on the way.

Huo Linyuan silently took note of the precautions he said and gently stroked Qi Yan's forehead with his fingertips.

At this time, Qi Yan's eyes were closed, lying quietly in his arms, with her little tail hanging limply.

Now Huo Linyuan was holding him and soaking in the newly built swimming pool on the third floor of the villa.

Looking at Qi Yan's peaceful sleeping face, Li Jia said seriously: "Baby cares about you a lot."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Jia also knew that Huo Linyuan was an extremely important person in Qi Yan's heart, so important that he was even more important than his own life.

"So, take good care of him." His words were not only an exhortation, but also a trust for Qi Yan's future.

"I will." Huo Linyuan didn't look up. His eyes looking at Qi Yan were so tender and affectionate. No one would know that this was also the person he was protecting with his life.

Huo Chuan, who was standing by, had already lost his mind.

After he learned that Qi Yan was a mermaid, a genuine purebred mermaid, he was completely blank.

Li Jia looked at Qi Yan's peaceful sleeping face for a while, then said to Huo Chuan, "Uncle Huo, can you give me a ride?"

"Hmm? Oh! Okay, okay... Mr. Li Jia, please." Huo Chuan suddenly came back to his senses.

He sent Li Jia to the gate. Along the way, Li Jia told him a lot about what Qi Yan should pay attention to in his diet recently.

Huo Chuan listened carefully to what Li Jia said, and even took out a small notebook to write down everything.

When he walked back to the villa, he was still a little dizzy, and all he could think of was: The young master is a mermaid, the only natural mermaid in the entire galaxy.

My young master actually brought back a mermaid!

The constant struggle in his mind came to an end only after Huo Chuan smashed a whole set of tea sets left over from ancient times.

Huo Chuan, who had completely "awoke", quickly logged onto the Star Network and began looking for precautions on raising mermaids.

Now he finally understood why Huo Linyuan wanted to transform the third floor into a huge natural swimming pool.

The renovation plan started after Huo Linyuan returned from Helka, and the entire swimming pool was designed by him personally.

In order to build a living spiritual spring pool, he even ordered people to travel thousands of miles to Murogaki Star to obtain the spring.

However, due to the complicated process of artificially constructing the Living Spring, the swimming pool was only completely completed in recent days.

During the time when Qi Yan was ill, a major event happened on Starnet.

The parents of the murdered students formed an alliance and protested to the royal family, demanding an explanation from the emperor.

A total of 183 students died this time, including not only ordinary civilians but also many children of great lords.

There is now a lot of criticism towards Si Mingyu on the Star Internet. Of course, this is all thanks to Wen Yi who revealed that he mistakenly opened the planet barrier, causing the signal to be blocked.

The emperor was very angry about this and even put Si Mingyu in solitary confinement.

At this time, it was the palace confinement room.

Queen Orina squatted in front of Si Mingyu, not caring at all that her luxurious robe was dragging on the ground.

"Listen to your mother and apologize to your father," Orina advised earnestly.

Si Mingyu snorted and laughed: "This time, the royal family has lost so much face. Just because I admit my fault, he will forgive me?"

Si Mingyu, who always behaved submissively in front of the emperor, now had a cold and mocking look in his eyes: "Sometimes I even doubt whether I am his biological son."

Bang! A crisp slapping sound was heard.

"How dare you! What nonsense are you talking about? Don't say such things again." Orina's eyes flickered and her fingers trembled. It was unclear whether she was angry or afraid.

Si Mingyu didn't expect her reaction to be so intense. He covered his face in disbelief: "You hit me?"

Olena had never hit him since he was a child.

At this time, Orina also realized her own loss of composure and reached out to touch Si Mingyu's beaten face, but was waved away by Si Mingyu.

Seeing this, Olena sighed and said, "Mother, this is also for your own good. You know how many eyes are watching us in this palace. If we take a wrong step, everything we have done before will be in vain."

Si Mingyu remained silent, but his resistance had weakened a lot, so Orina continued:

"Now that your reputation has been damaged, the best way to suppress it is to win over a powerful and credible force and use it for our benefit."

"What do you think of the young master from Cross?" Orina asked.

Thinking of Qi Yan's exquisite and beautiful face, Si Mingyu smiled meaningfully.

Olena knew her son's character very well, and as soon as she saw his expression, she knew that he was interested.

Moreover, she had conducted a special investigation on Qi Yan.

The results of the investigation made her very satisfied. Qi Yan not only had a good family background and high talent, but was also very popular among students during this trip to Sirius. She was simply the perfect choice for the Crown Princess.

"Don't worry, mother. He will be mine sooner or later." Si Mingyu said confidently, with a determined look in his eyes.

Hearing him say this, Orina felt relieved: "That's good, mother believes in your ability."

After saying that, she stood up and said, "You will stay here for the next few days. Your mother will go and ask your father for mercy."

Before leaving, Orina added, "You can have fun with Lanxi, but don't ruin our plans."

Si Mingyu smiled grimly: "It's just a plaything, I know what's going on."

-

That night.

Huo Linyuan gently placed Qi Yan on the shell bed at the bottom of the water, and then held his breath and looked at Qi Yan's sleeping face quietly.

Not until his breath was about to run out did he lean over and kiss Qin Yan on the cheek, then floated to the surface.

After getting ashore, Huo Linyuan went straight to the study.

Because of recent events, the military had a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, but in order to take care of Qi Yan, he moved all his official duties to the evening.

Due to the online public outcry, the royal family began to put various pressures on the military, especially the group of old foxes in the Presbyterian Church, who were eager to find fault with them.

One moment, Huo Linyuan met with the rebels without the emperor's approval.

Sometimes Wen Yi's deployment was unfavorable, giving the group of strange beasts a chance to escape.

Once again, the rescue was not timely, resulting in heavy casualties among students.

In short, they will not let any dirty water be thrown at them.

However, this is of no concern to the military, which has already separated power between the military and the government.

Of course, this group of old foxes also tried to use public opinion to create momentum, but Huo Linyuan’s national credibility was too high.

Especially this time, after Sirius rescued all the trapped students by himself, his prestige among the people once again reached its peak.

Someone recorded Huo Linyuan's appearance at that time and the video has now been widely circulated on Starnet.

There is no doubt that after three years, Huo Linyuan shocked everyone again.

Therefore, the royal family's throwing mud at the military at this time is undoubtedly courting their own destruction. Not only will it not have any effect, but it will deepen everyone's resistance to the royal family.
