broken world

"I am a sinful woman," said Anne Roger. (Note 1)

These words flashed across Yang Xiaoli's mind like lightning. Although the object of Anne Luojie's confidant had changed from Hilde to her, it could not alleviate the shock in her heart at all.

"Why do you say that, Anne Roger?"

Next, Anne Roger recounted the dusty past that belonged to her, Reinhardt, and Gilphia Ace in a mournful and sad tone.

Speaking of their acquaintance, talking about her unintentional words "Zig, I want to be friends with my brother", talking about her being taken into the palace to become the emperor's favorite concubine Countess Griwald, and talking about the sudden death of the emperor. When the deceased Reinhardt came to pick her up from the palace, he said childish but sincere words like "I don't have to make my sister suffer anymore", and then talked about her inner worries and fears when she heard about the assassination in Vulture City...

"Xue Li, no matter what others say, I will always think that I am a woman who has committed a lot of sins. I almost ruined that person's life with a careless word..." Tears more beautiful than pearls flowed from the ice of this beautiful and elegant woman. The blue eyes shed.

"Anne Roger... is in love with Gilphey Ace, right?" Yang Xiaoli tried to force a smile, "Then, why not go after your own happiness? Gilphey Ace is also deeply in love..."

Anne Luojie waved her hand to signal her to stop talking, but covered her mouth with a folding fan and said: "Please don't say such things, he is now the young Marshal of the Empire, the commander-in-chief of the Space Fleet, I... just a late emperor's concubine, I have no qualifications and no... ability..."

qualifications?Indeed, as a concubine who was once favored by the emperor, marrying the most promising young marshal of the empire will definitely be criticized by others, but when it comes to ability...

The uneasiness in Yang Xiaoli's heart deepened.

Anne Roger's beautiful eyes showed a look of sorrow: "Shirley... I can only tell you one person, and I can only tell you one person...

Back then, the nobles were afraid that I would be pregnant with the late emperor's heir, and the late emperor himself did not want me to lose my life because of childbirth, so I was forced to submit..." The beautiful and sad woman couldn't speak anymore, she could only let the tears fall They fell down one by one.

Yang Xiaoli stepped forward to hug her.

This woman who combines beauty and status has a sadness that ordinary people can't bear.

What kind of mood is she in, watching that red-haired young man grow up day by day, stepping up the ladder of imperial power day by day, watching him go higher and higher, and get farther and farther away from her...

He used his life to abide by the oath he made with her.

She exchanged the power of her soul and life for his future and glory, but when he ascended to the position of supreme minister, she silently turned and walked away...

"No, Anne Roger, there is still hope." Yang Xiaoli let go of her arms and looked at her firmly: "Gilfies is not an ordinary man, he won't mind your past, and he won't mind that you can't bring him a happy life." Half a child. In fact, you can adopt a child. The Alliance is affected by the 'Wartime Orphanage Law'. Every year, millions of orphans find their own home." Cough, actually, my family has a problem son of...

Anne Roger wiped away her tears gracefully, and just when she was about to say something, a familiar voice sounded behind the two: "Miss Anne Roger."

Anne Luojie glanced at Yang Xiaoli in a panic, Yang Xiaoli made a decisive gesture of hissing, and leaned close to her ear and said, "He probably didn't hear it, I just kept paying attention to my back just now...don't worry."

Anne Roger calmly returned to normal, tidied up his appearance and walked towards Gilfies, "Zig, did you call me?"

"Yes, Master Reinhardt is worried about Ms. Anne Roger, please ask the lady to go to the salon to rest."

Anne Luojie showed an apologetic expression to Yang Xiaoli, turned around and left with Jillfies.

Looking at the back of the two people leaving from a distance, Yang Xiaoli sincerely wished:

Please be happy, both of you.

Feeling a little thirsty, Yang Xiaoli went to the wine rack to get a glass of grapefruit juice, looking for a seat to sit down and drink.Coincidentally, the seat directly opposite Oberstein was vacant.

Without even thinking about it, Yang Xiaoli sat opposite the prosthetic eye chief of staff with the coldest aura in the universe.

"Your Excellency." The fearless + brave female general of the alliance said.

Oberstein put down the cup in his hand, and shot Yang Xiaoli with icy eyes.

In fact, Yang Xiaoli has studied Oberstein's prosthetic eyes in private, and found that the prosthetic eyes cannot rotate in eight directions like normal eyeballs, and can only adjust their orientation by sight.

To put it bluntly, those who are afraid of Oberstein are probably afraid of his prosthetic eye. (Yang Xiaoli only found out later that she was wrong...but it was too late)

"Anyway, there is only one step away from the throne, why don't you help Duke Luo Yankram take this step." Yang Xiaoli said calmly.

Yang Xiaoli outlined the three-step strategy, but before she had time to elaborate, Schneider came to inform her that Admiral Mercaz was planning to go home.

Only then did Yang Xiaoli realize that she hadn't spoken a word to Merkaz that night.

What a dereliction of duty daughter.

Yang Xiaoli thought about it when she was sitting in the car on the ground and went back. After entering the door, Merkaz called her into the study alone.

"Countess Grieward...it's better to stay away from her." The seasoned admiral didn't know why he threw out this sentence.

Yang Xiaoli expressed anger: "Why?" Even her father has no right to interfere with who she is friends with.

"Shirley, you misunderstood me. I didn't discriminate against her as the late emperor's concubine, but... the Countess Griwald was only 15 years old when she first entered the palace. In that dangerous palace, she survived alone. For eleven years, although Duke Luo Yankram and others helped her, none of the concubines who were favored by her before she entered the palace and those who were favored by her after entering the palace could overwhelm her. Gree Hua De, is the evergreen tree in the new Sanssouci Palace."

"Father, what do you want to say?"

"From the age of 15 to 26, no matter how simple a woman is, her mind will become complicated."

Yang Xiaoli showed a puzzled expression: "Such a perfect woman..."

"It's scary because you're perfect. It's because you have such and other shortcomings that you are so rare."

"Father, are you laughing at me?"

"Hehe, you can take it as such. Well, go to rest, Shirley, remember what your father said, a father will not harm his daughter."

"understood."

Yang Xiaoli walked on the way back to her room, the coldness in her heart was more than one level.

When meeting Ling Xin in the coffee shop on weekends, Yang Xiaoli told Ling Xin about this little-known episode.

After listening, Ling Xin took a sip of fresh orange juice and said, "This is a typical harem text, don't you understand?"

"Harem! Nani, but isn't Reinhard still proclaimed emperor? The harem is still early. Besides, Reinhard will only marry Hilde in the future, and there is no huge harem at all. .”

"Stupid. I mean, the fight between women and women is collectively called harem text."

"Oh, that's right, but why did she compete with me... Her status is completely inferior to mine."

"No wonder Ren always says you're stupid. It seems that you don't understand anything other than leading soldiers and fighting." Ling Xin's sophisticated tone can be understood because she reads more unofficial history than official history, and only listens to her After careful analysis, she said: "She is the late emperor's concubine. If she wants to marry a courtier of the empire, the resistance is not ordinary. But you are different. You are now the daughter of the first-level general of the empire, not to mention yourself. She also has the rank of major general, and she is completely incomparable to you in terms of her cleanliness."

Yang Xiaoli carefully analyzed this sentence three times before she came to a conclusion: "You mean...she sees me as a rival in love?"

Ling Xin nodded.

"But no matter how you look at it, she is a gentle and kind woman. I can't feel disgusted with her at all, even though you and Merkaz both said so."

Ling Xin patted the table: "What did Mercaz say?"

"He said that no matter how innocent a woman is, she will change after staying in the court for 11 years."

"Merkaz has the right answer!" Ling Xin pointed out sharply: "It's not that I despise you. With your ability, you can't beat her at all. So, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

"Give up? Give up what?"

Ling Xin lowered her voice: "Gilfies."

Yang Xiaoli really wanted to spray juice on her face, but because there was no juice in her mouth, all she sprayed was saliva.

Ling Xin wiped her face with a paper towel speechlessly, then said with a gloomy face, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Sitting in her seat, Yang Xiaoli almost burst out laughing.

It seems that the characters of these time-traveling sisters are so cute and forbearing.

Hahahaha...

Just when Yang Xiaoli was laughing like a convulsion, a tall man walked into the coffee shop.

It was an extremely handsome man, his gestures exuded the temperament of a nobleman, and his handsome profile revealed a stern look.

If it was normal, Yang Xiaoli would immediately shout to the female colleagues of the Fourth Fleet: "Look at the handsome guy, girls!"

Then a group of mighty teams will rush over like a gust of wind.

But Yang Xiaoli was not in that mood at all at the moment, because the handsome man turned his face, revealing strange eyes.

Left eye blue, right eye black.

Reoenthal!

Yang Xiaoli was so frightened that she almost wobbled and rolled off her seat.
