Chapter 312: Chapter 106: Two Sides of Good and Evil_3
"Ha!" Du Xixi was taken aback, turning to walk toward 2569 with light steps, but the syllable she softly uttered between her lips and teeth was so disdainful, so filled with anger.
First there was physical action, then exposure on the Star Network... Du Xixi instructed Miao Miao to take good care of the two children. After closing the door, she allowed a knowing smile to spread across her lips.
Thinking back, when she was still pregnant with the two children, the Morri Empire and the Chengsta Empire had already targeted her, taking photos and posting them on the Star Network, which triggered a burst of public opinion and left the people of the Blue Star Empire in chaos for a while.
What about now? Repeating the old trick?
Under the suppression of the Blue Star Empire, the Morri Empire and the Chengsta Empire had already lost their former glory, behaving so low-key lately as if they didn’t exist anymore. So this time, it couldn’t have been done by the Morri Empire or the Chengsta Empire.
Then which Empire, not favorable of the Blue Star Empire, was it this time? Are they genuinely fearless, thinking the Blue Star Empire couldn’t find out the true culprit behind the scenes, or have they swelled with arrogance, thinking they could easily target the son of the Empire’s Marshal?
"2569, have Ke Lian and father come back home." Du Xixi walked downstairs with 2569, while also opening her Light Computer to see just how much had been exposed on the Star Network. "Brother is stationed in the Imperial Palace, not suitable to come out."
"Yes!" 2569 responded, using a backstage program to call Ke Xing and Ke Lian at the Imperial Palace.
Chen Yin is His Majesty; usually slipping out of the Imperial Palace in times of peace is fine, and the people would even joke about it. But now that the issue with Yiyi and Er Er has been exposed, the Star Network is likely in chaos again. If Chen Yin were to leave the Imperial Palace, leaving it unattended, it might become even more chaotic.
The sofa was very soft, but after sitting on it, Du Xixi’s anger did not abate at all. Simply because the Star Network was in utter disorder.
[——Good heavens! Is this true? Did something happen to Yiyi and Er Er?
——What is "Needle Grinding"? I’ve never heard of it, but everyone is talking about how terrifying it is. So scary...
——"Needle Grinding"! I know! "Needle Grinding" is a kind of Insect Clan toxin that can destroy spiritual power, a toxin that can cause someone to painfully die alive!
——No way! Even the children of the Marshal’s household can have accidents? Isn’t there the Imperial Guard protection? It’s so unsafe...
——Yiyi and Er Er are so cute, did something really happen to them?
——No, please! I haven’t even had the chance to see the children’s little faces again! I really like them!
——Something happened to the kids, is the Princess alright?
——"Needle Grinding" is incurable, I’m afraid the children are already... Lady, please accept my condolences!
——Lady, please accept my condolences!
——Lady, please accept my condolences!
...
——What nonsense are those above saying! Yiyi and Er Er are so cute, and the Lady is so capable, why talk about condolences! They won’t have any accidents!
——Exactly! With the Lady protected by both the Marshal and His Majesty Chen Yin, and the children being treasures in everyone’s hands, they’ll surely be okay!
——I’ll quietly say something from the Military Hospital: the Lady didn’t bring the kids to the Military Hospital... and "Needle Grinding" is truly incurable! No matter how skilled someone is, there’s no way to treat it!
——Is that true from above? No, please! I don’t want to see these adorable children just vanish like that, otherwise, the Lady and the Marshal would surely be very heartbroken, right?
...]
"The public parrots each other, and paid trolls lead the rumors. In such a short time, the Star Network has become like this, truly laughable!" Du Xixi sneered coldly, but couldn’t make any decisions on her own before Ke Lian and the others came back. She took a deep breath and drank down the large glass of warm water brought by 2569.
"Xixi!" Ke Lian and Ke Xing returned from the Imperial Palace at this time, both looking travel-worn. Ke Lian was even dressed in a dashing military uniform, appearing particularly charming, but Du Xixi was in no mood to appreciate such a handsome demeanor.
"How did you two discuss with brother?" Du Xixi saw that their faces were as poor as hers and guessed that no conclusion had likely been reached, but she had anticipated this and thus wasn’t too disappointed.
Ke Lian knew Du Xixi was in a bad mood. Seeing her face pale and bloodless, clearly infuriated, he quickly went over to crouch down, held her small hand, and said, "His Majesty has asked the Minister of the Military to mainly handle finding the culprit. He is very capable and will find the true culprit soon."
Du Xixi had heard Ke Lian speak of this Minister of the Military before, vaguely recalling he was an esteemed veteran general in the Military Department, but her heart didn’t relax much. Instead, she told them about the situation on the Star Network and then asked, "Should I expose the fact that I possess the Purification Talent?"
The fact that the Insect Clan toxin "Needle Grinding" is incurable is known throughout the All-Star, but if news spreads that Yiyi and Er Er survived after being poisoned, it might also provoke some malicious speculations.
Although the Purification Talent is rare, Du Xixi’s identity and power are no longer as before; exposing it wouldn’t have much impact.
