Enigma above Alpha

When Qiao Xin ran over, he saw that the emperor's bedroom was in flames, and the gate outside the palace was blocked by guards to prevent others from entering, in case there was greater chaos and the hidden enemies could take advantage of it.

"No one is allowed to go in! The captain of the guard has led a team to rescue His Majesty!"

"Stand back, everyone back! Let the fire brigade come in!"

"Is your majesty okay? Who is assassinating your majesty?!" The nobles who were watching couldn't help but make various guesses.

"It's such a big fire... Who's inside?"

The guards stopped him, and Qiao Xin couldn't force his way in. He frowned and looked at the burning palace. The palace was heavily guarded. If it wasn't spies coming in from the outside, there was something wrong inside.

After a while, Qiao Xin saw Xie Hengyu coming out with a person on his back. That person was His Majesty the Emperor. The emperor suffered a brain injury and fell into a coma. The medical staff hurriedly put the emperor on a stretcher and carried him away. Condition.

Xie Hengyu was also disheartened, but no one paid attention to him, he silently retreated to one side and leaned against the base of the wall.

Qiao Xin glanced at him and walked over: "You are injured."

"Small." Xie Hengyu raised his hand and looked at his arm, his expression was a little cold, "You know, our mermaids have a strong healing ability."

Qiao Xin frowned. The bloody wound on Xie Hengyu's arm did heal quickly, but Xie Hengyu's reaction made people feel a little pitiful. Thinking that Xie Hengyu was also his cousin, Qiao Xin couldn't help but say: "You should go Bandage it up."

Gu Jing asked more practically: "Have you seen the murderer?"

"It doesn't count." Xie Hengyu leaned against the wall and straightened the scorched hair on his forehead, "It was those guards who suddenly exploded themselves. Ninety percent of them were because they absorbed too many fake energy stones. I suspect that these energy stones It has spread to the army."

"You want to talk about the battle on the border?" Qiao Xin thought of this as soon as he heard it, and he frowned fiercely, "That's why they lost?" He didn't know the internal affairs of the army, or the first I heard about it once, and if it is true, then there is a big problem.

Xie Hengyu hooked his lips and smiled lightly: "Just pretend I didn't say anything." Then he pushed them away and left.

"..." Qiao Xin was a little anxious, turned to stare at Xie Hengyu's back and said, "This cousin is not cute at all."

Seeing Xie Hengyu meeting the Han family members who ran over, Gu Jing pondered slightly: "He revealed information to you on purpose, the palace may change."

Just as Gu Sanye said, the next day it was reported that the emperor was unconscious, and the empress and the young prince were frightened and lived behind closed doors without seeing visitors.

After another week, the Han family and the people headed by Councilor Wen fought against each other, but it was obvious that Councilor Wen was backing down.

...

Qiao Xin is sitting in Qiao Yu's study. The system of the empire is similar to the ancient imperial system, except that there is an additional vote to decide policies. But in fact, the emperor still has a lot of decision-making power.

The Qiao family and the Wen family are equivalent to the left and right prime ministers.

Qiao Yu turned off the terminal after answering a question from his subordinates. He looked up at his adopted son: "What do you want to tell me?"

"My identity as Enigma has already been known. Maybe someone will come to trouble Qiao's family in the future. It's someone from the dungeon." Qiao Xin said briefly and handed him a document, "I wrote in It's inside, including what I do in the research institute, and the news from Captain Haitao."

Some cases are special, and in general, the less people know about it, the better, unless it is a special case.

Qiao Yu understood after thinking about it, and he nodded lightly: "It's almost the same as now, you go out first."

"..." Qiao Xin looked at her adoptive father's indifferent and strategizing manner, thinking why did he come to talk to him?Masochistic?

"How long are you going to compromise?" Qiao Xin asked unwillingly.

"Look at the timing." Qiao Yu's gray eyes were calm, "The Han family is already very powerful, and their popularity has also increased recently. We are looking for opportunities."

Looking for a one-hit kill?

Qiao Xin stared at him inquiringly for a while: "If the palace changes, who do you want more?" Now the prince, the second prince, and the third prince all have close ties with the Han family. The first two are even related by blood. If something happens to the emperor, The Han family can justifiably push those princes to the top.

Qiao Yu said calmly, "Xie Hengyu."

Qiao Xin thought that this answer was within his expectations. Xie Hengyu was the only person who had no blood relationship with the Han family and was suitable to succeed him.

...

Qiao Xin went back to the room and talked about it during the video call with Gu Sanye. Gu Sanye said: "If it were me, I would also choose Xie Hengyu, because the Han family must fall."

Qiao Xin smiled: "The third master is so confident."

"I'll pick you up in the afternoon." Gu Jing said after approving the last document.

"Where are you going?" Qiao Xin didn't know what to think of, stared into his eyes and said, "Jo.Pao?"

Gu Jing's forehead twitched: "A date."

Gu Sanye wants to implement the matter of abandoning the old favorite and favoring the new favorite alone. In the afternoon, he will send someone to deliver flowers to Qiao Xin, and then take him away from Qiao's house in a special car.

It wasn't until Qiao Xin walked into the baby products store that Qiao Xin knew what the real purpose of the date was. Qiao Xin pulled Gu San Ye to a corner and looked down at him slightly: "San Ye, are you angry?"

Although Gu Jing felt a little uncomfortable being squeezed against the wall by Qiao Xin, he didn't move. I smiled and said, "My fiancée has divorced. Now I'm pampering you alone. What do you think?"

He was very angry at first, but later he felt that this fact cannot be changed, and it is useless to be angry, he can only accept it.

"Then promote me." Hearing this, Qiao Xin immediately made progress.

Gu Jing raised his eyelids: "Take care of your fiancee first." There are still rumors on the Internet that Qiao Xin is the princess's fiance. Every time he sees these remarks, he can't help but want to turn off the terminal.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiao Xin knew why Gu Sanye pursued him so high-profilely, and had three bouquets of flowers in the morning, noon and evening. Could it be because he was jealous because of the rumors?

Qiao Xin sighed slightly and kissed the saliva on his face: "It will be resolved soon. If the princess refuses to withdraw the engagement, it will be more troublesome." The relationship between the courtier and the emperor is so complicated.

Gu Jing nodded, now the Han family definitely doesn't want the Qiao family to marry the princess, maybe it's a better solution: "Let's choose some daily necessities to go back."

"Okay." Qiao Xin immediately happily pulled Gu Sanye to choose baby products.

"The little yellow duck in the bubble bath is not bad."

"I want this rattle too, as well as a rattle, a small piano..."

"..." Gu Jing looked down at the toys in the shopping basket, then looked at Qiao Xin's joyful appearance, and silently selected bath towels and other daily necessities from the side.

Gu Jing asked as he walked, "Did you use these before?"

"..." Qiao Xin paused, then calmly threw the duckling into the shopping basket, "No, I don't even remember such a small thing."

Gu Jing smiled and didn't expose him. People with higher mental strength can remember childhood things better, but the miniature version of Qiao Xin's appearance of flopping ducklings in the bubble bath should also be cute.

The two of them finished shopping and had a candlelight dinner before returning home. Mr. Gu took Qiao Xin back to his rooftop villa. These leisurely days didn't last long. One day, Mr. Gu received a message from Liang's family. invitation letter.

"Invitation letter from the Liang family? Don't call it a Hongmen banquet." Looking at the information on it, Qiao Xin probably refers to Mr. Liang's 150th birthday banquet.

"Go and see." Gu Jing sat on a chair in the garden and read a book.

Qiao Xin threw away the invitation letter, fed him a grape, touched his belly and said with a smile, "Master, you're getting fat again."

Gu Jing calmly moved his hand away: "Did Xie Hengyu contact you?"

"No, he doesn't respond to messages either, maybe he's being monitored?" All the messages he sent fell to nothing.

There is also this possibility.

Gu Jing didn't ask this question again, maybe Xie Hengyu would contact them when the time came.

...

When it came time to go to the banquet, Gu Jing took Qiao Xin onto the spaceship.

The Liang family chose a small livable planet for their birthday banquet, which was also the other party's territory.

After Qiao Xin got off the spaceship, there were countless gazes around him, and some whispers, probably saying that he seemed to be really taken care of by Mr. Gu.

Qiao Xin didn't care either, and let them watch.

Gu Jing walked beside him, and the two entered the hall together. The old man of the Liang family was too old to walk and needed to be pushed out, but he was still in good spirits.

As for Liang Chendong still smiling as usual, his eyes became squinted, looking cunning and not to be trifled with.

"Haha, thank you Mr. Gu and Young Master Qiao for your kindness. Come, sit here." Liang Chendong greeted them to take a seat, and after a few casual greetings, he left.

Qiao Xin looked at the important birthday bag placed in the center of the table. Before dinner, everyone ate it. He put one into Gu Sanye's bowl: "What do the Liang family want to do?" It's impossible Want to get straight to it?

Gu Sanye also gave Qiao Xin a gift. He slightly lowered his eyes and thought of the people who followed them recently. According to Meng Jiangping’s report, more and more people are staring at him, or at Qiao Xin. Send some more people.

"We have to do it after the banquet is over." Gu Jing whispered, "Let's eat first to recharge our energy."

Gu Sanye's guess is not wrong, Liang Chendong came to his table again around the end of the banquet: "I would like to ask Mr. Gu to stay a little longer, I have something to talk to you about."

Looks like dinner is finally coming.

Gu Jing raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Yes, I happen to be free." He stood up and motioned for Qiao Xin to follow, Liang Chendong glanced at them and did not stop him.

Liang Chendong led them all the way to the reception room at the back.

At this time, he took out a document and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, please read it first, and then we can talk about it?"

Gu Jing flipped through the documents casually, and he was familiar with the key words of each document. It was the joint development of energy stones with the Han family not long ago, and the other party slandered him in the documents and replaced them with fake energy stones. .

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what they had guessed before, and the other party thought that they were "beginning with etiquette and then soldiers".

Qiao Xin also leaned over to take a look, and felt that the Han family was still very impatient, and it didn't take long before they used this trick, and maybe Gu Sanye would be dragged into the water by them a little later.

Gu Jing slowly flipped through the pages, closed the document, and asked without expression: "What if I don't agree to your conditions?"

Liang Chendong glanced at Qiao Xin: "I just want Young Master Qiao to play with me for a while." After Shen Moye's confirmation, this Second Young Master Qiao is actually the Qiao Xin next to Gu Sanye. Even his name has not changed, but his appearance It is different from pheromones, and most people will be confused for a while.

Gu Jing pulled Qiao Xin to stand up: "I don't think there is anything to talk about between us." He paused and added, "Young Master Qiao is mine."

Gu Sanye's words also had some threatening meaning, Liang Chendong met his eyes, with a sinister emotion hidden in his eyes: "Gu Sanye, you are sure, are you not afraid that we will announce your shipment of fake goods?"

"Farewell." Gu Jing left with his arms around Qiao Xin, showing with actions that he was not threatened by him.

Liang Chendong, who was left behind, gritted his teeth fiercely, and Mrs. Han came out from the inner room: "Dad, you must avenge Tianbao!" She was unwilling to let Qiao Xin and the two of them go like this. because of them.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to go back to this planet even if they get out." Liang Chendong patted her hand to comfort her, and signaled the maid to take away Mrs. Han who was a little confused.

Liang Chendong squinted his eyes and looked out the window, since he invited people over, he wouldn't just do nothing.
