Counterattack [Interstellar]

"Have you notified Your Majesty?" Mrs. Jenny said as she walked downstairs, "I've said the ugly things, and I've done the wicked ones. Your Majesty can go and appease her."

The housekeeper smiled, nodded and said, "I have been notified, and His Majesty will rush over immediately."

Mrs. Jenny chuckled and shook her head, "To be honest, some of His Majesty's actions really disgust me."

The butler didn't seem to hear, just bowed to remind: "Your Highness, please be careful of the stairs."

Mrs. Jenny paused, looked up and looked upstairs, the housekeeper was just an ordinary person, he couldn't hear what happened, and asked doubtfully, "Your Highness?"

Mrs. Jenny showed sarcasm, and whispered in a low voice: "The woman is crying in Auston's arms..."

The housekeeper smiled comprehensibly, and Mrs. Jenny curled her lips and continued to walk down.

"Good night, Your Highness."

After sending Mrs. Jenny to the door, the butler bowed to Mrs. Jenny, but Mrs. Jenny did not leave as usual, but stopped and looked at the butler, saying: "Prince Adair is not at home, I am too lazy to go back... ...you can walk with me."

The butler was a little hesitant. It was obviously inappropriate for him to accompany Mrs. Jenny for a walk.

Mrs. Jenny smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty doesn't need you now, can't you go for a walk with me?"

The butler looked around, and finally agreed, Mrs. Jenny smiled: "I knew you would never reject me." The butler smiled wryly: "You are still the same as before."

"What's the same? Do you always ask you to embarrass you?" Mrs. Jenny smiled, "Come here."

The night was as cool as water, and insects rang out from the lawn from time to time. Mrs. Jenny walked slowly along the path in the green field until she walked through the rose flowers. The two chatted one after another, basically It was Mrs. Jenny who said something, and the housekeeper answered. After a while, the housekeeper finally couldn't stand it any longer and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you need me to do anything, or if you want to ask me anything, please speak up. "

Mrs. Jenny blinked and smiled: "Is it that obvious?"

"When I was young, there were several blueberry trees in the bushes in the palace garden. You always wanted to climb over the bushes to pick blueberries, but your tutors didn't allow it. Every time you came to me with a small basket, I asked me to do it for you. It's always like this when I go to pick blueberries..." The butler smiled, "He didn't say it, but deliberately dragged me to the bushes."

Mrs. Jenny couldn't help laughing: "It's always a bad habit to be greedy. I'm afraid you'll be talking about me like the teachers, so of course you don't dare to say it outright..."

The butler bowed slightly: "But it's different now, you've grown up, and I don't know how to guess your thoughts anymore, so please speak bluntly, Your Highness, if it's something I can do, I'll be willing to do it."

"I want to know..." Mrs. Jenny pursed her lips and lowered her voice, "I want to know what is the relationship between Auston and General Pei Xuan, the father of Major General Pei Yao?"

The butler frowned: "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Jenny took a breath, and softly told the housekeeper about Allen's previous suspicions, and finally said worriedly: "To be honest, although His Majesty is my own brother, I am willing to come forward to solve the problem for him in the situation just now, but In all fairness, Your Majesty is really a rotten person in terms of feelings. Now that the relationship between Alan and His Majesty has finally eased up, I really don't want the father and son to have conflicts again because of some old things, so please forgive me. Let me tell you the truth, what happened between Your Majesty and Pei Xuan?"

Mrs. Jenny looked closely into the eyes of the butler, but the butler turned his head to avoid it. Mrs. Jenny keenly sensed what he was avoiding, and said in a voiceless voice: "Is this true? Auston really treated Pei Xuan... "

"No." The steward laughed, "Of course not. I can tell you with certainty that His Majesty has never liked either of Major General Pei Yao's parents... How can you doubt this? Your Majesty only likes women, you know .”

Mrs. Jenny immediately said: "Then what are you careful about?"

"I..." the butler was at a loss for words, and said for a while, "You are overthinking."

"Brother Cecil..." Mrs. Jenny's eyes glowed brightly, "You never refused me when I was young."

Seeing Mrs. Jenny acting coquettishly like before, the housekeeper was quite emotional. Finally, he sighed and said in a low voice, "Let's start with the last transfer letter that Admiral Pei Xuan received."

"As you know, Admiral Pei Xuan was originally His Majesty's knight. Except for wartime, Admiral Pei Xuan usually accompanied His Majesty. His Majesty really trusted him very much. These rumors are true." The butler recalled He said slowly, "Later, our alliance with Lestin broke down, and most of the empire's star region fell into war. As you know, the situation at that time was very tense... His Majesty appointed Admiral Pei Xuan to form an expeditionary force at that time."

"Externally, His Majesty has always said that the role of the expeditionary force is mainly to deliver supplies to the war-torn areas on the edge of the empire's star field. Internally, only some people know that the main task of the expeditionary force is actually to carry out spy work. This is still traceable. Yes, if you investigate deeply, you will find that the former expeditionary force was affiliated with the Defense Security Agency, which can already explain some problems."

"During the seven years before the battle against Lestin, the expeditionary force had hardly returned to the main planet. They fought in the most dangerous and difficult environment all year round. At that time, their casualty rate was the highest among all arms. In contrast, , Their contribution is also the greatest, His Majesty once said to Pei Xuan, without them, this war would have been extended for at least five years." Thinking of the turmoil at that time, the butler felt sorry for him, and shook his head, "But it's a pity, maybe The battle situation became tense. Maybe it was because the Expeditionary Army's reputation was too good, and it attracted the attention of Lestin, who was annoyed by repeated defeats, or it was just an accident... During a large-scale star war, the Expeditionary Army was ambushed. Under the devastating attack of Lestin, the expeditionary force fought for several months, and finally all died in battle."

Mrs. Jenny was dumbfounded: "This, this is different from what I investigated..."

"Your Highness, many things that the Expeditionary Army did in those years cannot be announced to the public. For His Majesty and the Empire, many things about them have been downplayed and hidden as much as possible. Only their achievements are left." The steward said indifferently. With a smile, "You can probably understand now, Admiral Yu Qing Pei Xuan has been His Majesty's right-hand man for many years, Admiral Yu Li Pei Xuan will sacrifice his life for the empire, there is nothing wrong with His Majesty's preference for his son reasonable."

Mrs. Jenny did not answer. She knew that the butler was telling the truth, but she also knew that he must have deliberately hidden something. That was the most important thing. Mrs. Jenny sighed in her heart. After all, she was not a child anymore, Sisi I am now loyal to Auston, and I told myself these things because of my childhood affection. If Auston’s privacy was really involved, let alone begging him like this, he would not say anything even if he used a knife to force him. .

Mrs. Jenny accepted it as soon as she saw it, nodded and said: "Indeed, this makes more sense."

"It's almost dawn, I think you should go back to the palace to rest, or I'll have someone clean up your room here." The butler took out his pocket watch to check the time, and said with a frown, "I shouldn't have chosen this place." Time to tell you this."

Mrs. Jenny smiled: "It's nothing, if you don't tell me, I probably won't be able to have a good rest... I won't stay anymore, the whole palace smells of Bettina's pheromone, it makes me sick."

The steward lowered his head and smiled: "Okay, then I'll notify your driver."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Mrs. Jenny called the housekeeper, frowned and said, "Just now Bettina told me...Only Pei Yao knows about Pearl. What is she talking about?"

This time even the housekeeper was confused, he said sincerely: "Unfortunately, I really don't know about this."

Mrs. Jenny shook her head: "Forget it, I'll ask Pei Yao directly when I have a chance."

The butler nodded: "That's the best."

In the practice field of Alice Academy, Ryan and several other students on duty carefully inspected the probe in the woods. Suddenly, Ryan stopped and looked vigilantly at a big tree not far away.

On the canopy of the big tree surrounded by five people, Pei Yao controlled his balance and slowly walked towards the top of the tree... There was a bird's nest there.

After approaching, Pei Yao leaned down and pushed open the branch, and smiled, there were nine eggs in the bird's nest.

Pei Yao picked up five eggs and carefully put them in his jacket pocket, turned around and retreated to the trunk of the big tree, turned over and fell down the tree neatly while protecting the eggs in his arms.

"School...principal." Ryan looked at Pei Yao falling from the sky and said mechanically, "Good evening."

It was somewhat embarrassing to be found digging out the bird's nest by one of his students. Pei Yao patted the leaves on his body and said unnaturally, "Good evening, are you... still on duty?"

A girl beside Ryan nodded timidly: "Yes, our team is responsible for the security around the camp tonight."

Pei Yao nodded: "It's the first time to work at night, please be careful and pay attention to safety."

"Principal, is the egg of the Bobo bird in your hand?" Another student looked over curiously, "Look at the size and color...it should be the egg of the Bobo bird, right? Can you show me the egg, principal?"

Pei Yao spread his hand, and the student carefully picked up one to have a look. Ryan asked puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there anything strange about this kind of egg?"

"Don't you know? The eggs of this kind of bird taste very good, and the nutritional value is also good." The guide holding the bird's egg tutted, "It's a pity that Bobo birds can't be raised, so there are almost no such eggs for sale. The price is also very expensive, so lucky to have it in the training ground... Can this be roasted and eaten?"

Pei Yao glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Wow..." The little guide swallowed, and looked at Pei Yao expectantly, "Isn't it delicious?"

"Delicious." Pei Yao took back the bird egg from the little guide's hand and said, "You talk, I'll go first."

"Principal..." The little guide blinked, looked at Pei Yao's back and was speechless for a while, "He...he took it away?"

Ryan hated iron and said: "Otherwise?! Feed you, little fat man? You still have to ask, if it is really so precious, the principal must give it to His Royal Highness Alan! It's useless Ask?!"

The girl who had been hiding behind showed admiration on her face, and whispered: "The principal and His Highness Allen really love each other."

Ryan raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly: "Of course, you don't know, I contacted the principal once before, and it was His Highness Alan! His Highness Alan answered the principal's communication! Needless to say how close the two are, I guess they must have been…”

……

Pei Yao's hearing is excellent, and he could still hear the chattering of the students after turning over the two sentry posts. He was thin-skinned and embarrassed, but looking at the small bird eggs in his hand, he thought it was worth it... Maybe Alan didn't I have eaten it.
