Capital Star, the atmosphere in the palace council hall is particularly dignified.

The young woman in a black skirt stood alone in front of the seat, reading out her proposal in a deep voice.

The poppy medal affixed to her chest glowed black and red along with the swaying ripples outside the window.

After what happened to Ren Songqing, Lu Yunwan dealt with a large number of people from the Imperial Criminal Court.

And the subsequent vacancies were completely filled by his own people, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the upper echelons of the empire.

The woman in front of her was one of the officials promoted this time.

"In summary, the empire has not updated relevant laws and regulations for nearly 400 years. I think the "Same Sentence Case" can be put on the agenda again,"

As soon as the woman's voice fell, all the people in the council hall who participated in the regular administrative meeting of the empire all set their sights on Lu Yunwan.

The Prince Regent wearing a black military uniform on the main seat is lowering his head and playing with his cane. He doesn't seem to care about today's meeting, but everyone here knows that everything in the meeting is related to him.

Many people here watched Lu Yunwan get to where he is today step by step.

The scene when Lu Yunwan proposed this bill seemed like yesterday.

The council hall suddenly fell silent, and the group of officials all looked at Lu Yunwan with hesitant expressions.

After a while, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Lu Yunwan's ear.

"My Lord Regent, I do not think it is time to reintroduce this Bill."

"Yeah yeah!"

"His Royal Highness is right..."

With him at the beginning, the government hall finally became lively again.

——The speaker was Pei Hanji.

Pei Zhao'an who does not have a title cannot participate in the regular administrative meeting, so at this time, Pei Hanji, who is from the same family as him, will become the most authoritative representative of the imperial aristocracy.

At this moment, Lu Yunwan finally raised his head.

Chu Xuanzhou, who had been sitting quietly behind him all this time, saw: the cold light in the council hall was shining on the top of his head, making his black hair extra soft and cold.

Lu Yunwan looked at Pei Hanji with a half-smile and asked, "Why not?"

"..."

Pei Hanji paused for a few seconds, his face seemed a little ugly.

After a while, he finally looked back at Lu Yunwan and said, "The nature of mermaids and humans is different."

Perhaps because it is still in the meeting, Pei Hanji purposely spoke in a more tactful way.

But Lu Yunwan continued to smile and look at the other party as if he didn't understand.

His posture was graceful and gentle, and he looked very patient.

However, everyone in the empire knew how vicious the regent's nature and methods were hidden under the elegant appearance.

Seeing that Lu Yunwan was silent, Pei Hanji had no choice but to continue: "Mermaids are naturally aggressive and pay more attention to desire. The existence of the migration period can even catalyze this. Overly strict laws do not apply to mermaids."

They are not like human beings who are born peaceful.

Speaking of this, Pei Hanji laughed again.

"It's nature. Above all, it's out of control."

This is what Lu Yunwan was waiting for!

Pei Hanji's meaning is the same as most mermaids think - mermaids are born more "primitive", and their moral sense is much lower than that of humans.

And once the mermaid enters a crazy state, it is difficult to control.

How can they be equal to mediocre humans?

"Okay, I understand what His Royal Highness means." Lu Yunwan immediately nodded and laughed at the same time.

"What?" Lu Yunwan's reaction was somewhat unexpected to Pei Hanji.

Lu Yunwan lowered his head and smiled, the lights of the council hall shone obliquely from the front, hit his eyelashes and cast long shadows.

Those dark eyes were completely hidden.

He said: "Her Royal Highness means that when the 'nature' you speak of can be controlled, the bill can be introduced.I should have understood correctly, right? "

Pei Hanji didn't understand what Lu Yunwan's words meant.

And instinctively feel wrong.

...Does the mermaid's nature still have control?

But at this time, the nobles who were temporarily out of the low pressure finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they immediately made up with each other: "That's right! Your lord regent is right!"

As soon as they heard Lu Yunwan say "controlling nature", they immediately took what the regent said just now as a joke of his temporary interest, or as a show for human beings.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the nature of mermaids when they go crazy is hard to control.

What Lu Yunwan said are all empty promises!

Lu Yunwan smiled and nodded towards them, he once again set his eyes on Pei Hanji: "What do you think, Your Highness the Duke?"

This group of nobles basically knew that Pei Hanji and Lu Yunwan were students of the Imperial Military Academy at the same time.

The relationship between the two is not as rigid as that between Lu Yunwan and Pei Zhao'an.

In the past, when Lu Yunwan raised issues, Pei Hanji's attitude was relatively mild.

Today he remained silent without nodding.

However, Lu Yunwan, who had already won the approval of the nobles in the entire conference hall, didn't seem to care about his opinion.

The woman who had just mentioned "Same Severe Punishment Case" sat down again, and another official got up in time to switch the topic to the theft of the super optical brain.

The Imperial Administrative Council is still going on, but the two highest-ranking people in the council hall are still thinking about the incident just now.

But Chu Xuanzhou's gaze still fell on Lu Yunwan.

Sitting behind him, he saw that the elegant and powerful Prince Regent raised the corners of his lips secretly at this moment.

Seeing this, Chu Xuanzhou couldn't help but smiled slightly.

perfect!

Lu Yunwan couldn't help but praise himself in his heart.

Only he himself knows in this world that the experiment of healing guided by spiritual power has actually only reached the first step.

Although the mermaid's mental power is powerful and brutal, it can almost only be used for offense.

But humans are different.

According to Lu Yunwan's experience in his previous life, a person with psychic abilities can suppress other abilities when they are strong enough.

That is to say, they can directly suppress and control the mermaid in a state of madness at the level of mental power without harming the mermaid.

...Now the Imperial Executive Council has let go, and after the experiment is successful, he can make his own move.

From this time until the end of the meeting, the expression on Lu Yunwan's face was very happy.

An hour later, the meeting officially ended.

Lu Yunwan left the council hall, and walked towards the return starship together with Chu Xuanzhou.

Before he reached the docking place of the starship, Pei Hanji, who did not know when to follow, suddenly called out to stop Lu Yunwan.

"My lord, I have something to tell you."

Lu Yunwan turned around and saw that Pei Hanji, who was wearing a dark blue satin formal suit, was standing behind him. He frowned tightly, with a serious expression.

Lu Yunwan stopped in his tracks: "What's the matter?"

"About the meeting just now, and the "Same Sentence Case" you mentioned."

On the dock where the Regent starship is located, there is only that huge black starship.

This huge space in the deep sea was dead silent.

"Okay." Lu Yun smiled and stopped.

Pei Hanji glanced at Chu Xuanzhou indifferently.

Lu Yunwan shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, if you have anything to say, just talk about it."

He knew that Pei Hanji wanted Chu Xuanzhou to avoid him, but Lu Yunwan refused him.

After a long silence, Pei Hanji nodded hesitantly.

It's just that this time Pei Hanji deliberately lowered his voice.

He took another half step forward, stopped directly in front of Lu Yunwan and said, "My lord regent, you are indeed different now than you were back then. But I hope you don't forget that after the "Same Severe Punishment Case" was proposed last time, what happened."

Pei Hanji almost gritted his teeth and said these words.

...he was threatening himself?

No, this tone does not seem to be a threat.

"The Same Severe Punishment Case" was never mentioned in "Mermaid Empire", and Lu Yunwan didn't have any memory of this incident in his mind.

So what happened last time?

After listening to Pei Hanji's words, Lu Yunwan was scratching his heart and lungs.

But obviously he couldn't ask at this time, it would be ooc...

Lu Yunwan tentatively raised his eyebrows and glanced at Pei Hanji.

But the other party sighed heavily at this moment and said, "Lu Yunwan, I only remind you to come here."

Like Pei Zhao'an, Pei Hanji's eyes are also green.

It's just that the green in his eyes is much lighter.

At this moment, Lu Yunwan actually saw a little sincerity in the eyes of "political enemy" Pei Hanji.

He subconsciously frowned.

After finishing speaking, Pei Hanji immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the other side of the starship dock.

After the place became quiet again, Chu Xuanzhou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Master Regent, Duke Pei called your name just now."

Lu Yunwan, who was still deeply involved in the question just now, didn't notice that there was a bit of jealousy in Chu Xuanzhou's eyes that couldn't be ignored.

"Well," Lu Yunwan nodded and said subconsciously, "We used to be classmates in the Imperial Military Academy, and we used to call each other by first name."

"Hmm..." Chu Xuanzhou nodded and pressed his lips tightly.

Pei Hanji and Lu Yunwan didn't seem to know each other very well, but even between them, things happened that he didn't know about.

Even Pei Hanji could casually call out Lu Yunwan's name.

This discovery made Chu Xuanzhou feel uneasy and jealous.

……

Lu Yunwan tried his best to recall for a while, but still couldn't remember anything... It seems that the memory of the original owner is not easy to come back.

At this time, he had already walked into the starship with Chu Xuanzhou.

At this moment, a cold light fell on Lu Yunwan's eyes.

He subconsciously turned sideways to look at Chu Xuanzhou——

Unlike the last time when he simply attended the regular administrative meeting of the empire as his assistant, this time Chu Xuanzhou changed into a military uniform, and even affixed a medal representing his military exploits on his chest.

At the moment when the eyes of the two collided, Lu Yunwan did not miss the complicated emotions in Chu Xuanzhou's eyes.

Chu Xuanzhou paused, and in order to cover up his thoughts just now, he immediately brought the topic back to the meeting and the bill that just ended: "My lord regent, do you want to continue with this proposal?"

Lu Yunwan immediately cheered up.

good question!

Obviously, the promulgation of the "Same Severe Punishment Case" encountered great resistance.

But if Lu Yunwan remembered correctly, Chu Xuanzhou, who was the ruler in the later period of "Mermaid Empire", would also encounter many problems.

In the original book, after experiencing all kinds of ups and downs, his character has become extremely persistent, and he must do what he wants to do.

But now... Lu Yunwan doesn't know if Chu Xuanzhou has changed.

Anyway, since the protagonist asked, then I must motivate him well!

The corridor on the side of the starship is completely transparent.

While speaking, the huge starship that Lu Yunwan and Chu Xuanzhou were on had already soared into the sky and flew towards the depths of the universe.

A burst of light spilled in from the other side of the universe.

Lu Yunwan suddenly stopped, and he subconsciously looked out.

—the clouds of gas floating in space are emitting a soft purple light.

As beautiful as the eyes of a mermaid.

Lu Yunwan wanted to take another look, but the speed of the starship was too fast, and the scenery disappeared within a few seconds.

Lu Yunwan finally turned his attention to Chu Xuanzhou again. He lowered his eyes and smiled, put his cane aside, and then took half a step forward to stand in front of Chu Xuanzhou.

The light fragrance from Lu Yunwan's body spread to the tip of Chu Xuanzhou's nose in an instant.

He heard the regent smile, and then said to himself: "Your Highness, no one can stop me from doing anything I want to do."

Then Lu Yunwan suddenly stretched out his hand, and gently arranged the medals on Chu Xuanzhou's chest.

He was obviously very careful in his actions.

But separated by a thick layer of military uniform, Chu Xuanzhou still had an illusion... It was as if what Lu Yunwan was touching was not some medal, but his own skin.

Lu Yunwan's actions were extremely serious, Chu Xuanzhou held his breath and did not dare to move, for fear of disturbing the other party.

——In the empire, arranging medals for subordinates is something only the high-ranking ones can do.

Although this is only the corridor of the starship, Lu Yunwan's solemn appearance is no different from that in the Palace of the Deep Sea, which symbolizes the highest power in the empire.

However, Chu Xuanzhou tightly clenched his palms at this moment.

It wasn't because of nervousness, but because he found that at this moment, he wanted to drag Lu Yunwan off the high platform...

The more I want him to be infected with my own breath.

"Lord Regent..." the boy subconsciously said.

It was only at this time that Chu Xuanzhou realized that his voice had become scary hoarse at some point.

"Your Highness?" Not only him, but Lu Yunwan also noticed this, "What's wrong with you?" he asked.

"No... nothing..." Chu Xuanzhou shifted his gaze to the other side unnaturally.

At this time, Lu Yunwan finally finished sorting out the medals for him, and stood up straight again.

He continued the topic just now.

Lu Yunwan laughed, his smile was extraordinarily wanton.

Brighter than a poppy in full bloom.

"It's the easiest and most meaningless thing to do to please people," Lu Yunwan suddenly became serious, his gaze crossed Chu Xuanzhou's shoulder, and fell out of the porthole again.

The boy then nodded slightly.

Lu Yunwan said: "If you want to be a superior person, if you want to have what you want, you should never "obey", never "compromise", and never "obedient". "

Lu Yunwan said these words with great sincerity.

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to stare at Chu Xuanzhou's eyes, waiting for his response.

"Yes." After a long silence, Chu Xuanzhou finally nodded.

Lu Yunwan's words were resounding.

Like a fast-flying asteroid, it slammed into Chu Xuanzhou's heart suddenly, causing shock after wave.

However, unlike the great earthquake in his heart, Chu Xuanzhou appeared a little too calm on the surface.

Did the protagonist not put his own words on Xiangxin?

Seeing Chu Xuanzhou's expression, Lu Yunwan couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Your Highness," Lu Yunwan suddenly grabbed Chu Xuanzhou's collar and pulled him towards him, "The greater the resistance, the more exciting it is. Don't you think so?"

Those originally calm black eyes suddenly brewed a storm at some point.

Lu Yunwan laughed hoarsely: "The things you get too smoothly are worthless."

Then he pressed his other hand heavily on Chu Xuanzhou's heart.

"Either there is a trap hidden, or it exists to numb your nerves..." Lu Yunwan said.

Human strength is not great, but the tight collar still gave Chu Xuanzhou a vague sense of suffocation.

His heart also beat rapidly.

All the blood in the whole body rushed to the place where Lu Yunwan touched the heart.

The boy could only nod.

Chu Xuanzhou wore a medal on his chest, which felt cold and hard to the touch.

In just a few seconds, a deep mark was left on Lu Yunwan's hand through the glove.

He stared into Chu Xuanzhou's eyes and laughed.

"The more difficult things are, the more interesting they are... Obedience is the most boring thing, and the most hypocritical."

After the words fell, Lu Yunwan, who had put on a hard act, finally let go of his hand.

"You must always remember my words."

A little light flickered in Lu Yunwan's dark eyes.

This scene actually caused Chu Xuanzhou to have an illusion—as if it was not the light coming in from the porthole, but a tear that was about to fall in Lu Yunwan's eyes but did not fall.

He raised his hand subconsciously, and by the time he realized it, his fingertips had already lightly touched Lu Yunwan's cheek.

Different from the slender bones of human beings, mermaids have huge skeletons. Chu Xuanzhou found that he could completely cover Lu Yunwan's entire face with one hand.

The delicate and warm feeling of human skin is instantly transmitted to the fingertips.

tempted him to go further.

But the boy's absence lasted only a few seconds.

Chu Xuanzhou paused, and immediately buried his face in the neck of the other party before Lu Yunwan felt suspicious.

"I understand, Lord Regent..."

Through a layer of fabric, Chu Xuanzhou's voice was muffled, and to Lu Yunwan's ears... it seemed that there was still a little grievance?

Does he not understand and agree with his own thoughts, but he can only bear it and say nothing?

Lu Yunwan was stunned for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand to pat Chu Xuanzhou's shoulder.

It seems that I still have a long way to go...

-

The existence of Song Feiyan and even Pei Hanji made Chu Xuanzhou feel uneasy.

He began to investigate Lu Yunwan's past, wanting to know what Lu Yunwan had experienced in those times that he had not participated in.

"Your Highness Nine, this is the experimental funding report of the Imperial University of Science and Technology." A member of the military department in blue walked in, and at the same time, rows of fine lines appeared on the optical brain in front of Chu Xuanzhou. Word.

he sees—

Song Feiyan used to be the only human researcher at the Institute of Mental Power of Imperial University of Science and Technology.

When he first entered here, he didn't have any special research results, so he was very unremarkable among his classmates.

But at that time, Song Feiyan's research funding was far ahead of others.

"Where did he get his money?"

The member of the military department answered truthfully: "It was the Lord Regent who raised money for Song Feiyan."

Hearing this, Chu Xuanzhou's fingers slammed on the table.

After suppressing his smile, his facial features became more angular.

And the long silver hair made Chu Xuanzhou's demeanor very cold.

Although the voice was not loud, the person who spoke just now was still taken aback.

"It's okay." Chu Xuanzhou returned to his usual gentle and easy-going manner. He nodded to the other party with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will contact you later if there is anything else."

"Okay, okay!" The man immediately nodded and retreated, "You are too polite, it is my honor to work for His Highness and Lord Regent!"

Chu Xuanzhou lowered his head and smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed by the other party's praise.

"Thank you." He smiled.

The moment he went out, the man from the military department couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

...In general, His Highness Ninth Highness is still easy to get along with. The expression just now must be a mistake, right?

Accompanied by his departure, the door of Chu Xuanzhou's office was also slowly closed.

Chu Xuanzhou's fingers tapped the table twice again impatiently.

He saw... Song Feiyan's experimental subject was precisely about the stimulation of human spiritual power.

This is the same as what Chu Xuanzhou guessed.

Back then, Lu Yunwan was indeed a veritable "light of humanity".

Even he cares more about human beings than he imagined.

Thinking of this, Chu Xuanzhou suddenly stood up.

...Chu Xuanzhou found that the more he understood Lu Yunwan, the more he felt unwilling to do so for him.

Lu Yunwan obviously helped Song Feiyan once.

But now the other party seems to have forgotten those things, and completely treats Lu Yunwan as an enemy.

Thinking of this, when Lu Yun and Lu Yun left the human planet, the curse they accidentally heard resurfaced in Chu Xuanzhou's mind.

Chu Xuanzhou has always been able to clearly realize that he who grew up on the edge of the mermaid planet is not a "normal person".

But he is good at imitating "normal people".

Chu Xuanzhou's brain is like a precision instrument, he is simulating and calculating the thoughts of so-called normal people all the time.

So he couldn't help wondering... Is there really someone who doesn't care about being cursed at all?

Or are you disappointed and disappointed?

Lu Yunwan is a lonely and complicated human being...

At this time, the boy couldn't help but feel that Lu Yunwan was good, and wanted everyone to know that he was good.

But the slightly unbearable side in his heart made him secretly happy that only he knew about Lu Yunwan like this...

Thinking of this, Chu Xuanzhou suddenly got up and left his office.

By the time Chu Xuanzhou reacted, he had already opened the door of Lu Yunwan's study and stood in the corridor.

Chu Xuanzhou saw——

The Prince Regent's work was too complicated, Lu Yunwan didn't know when he fell asleep.

He looked very tired.

Lu Yunwan was wearing a black overcoat, and his whole body sank into the sofa.

With shallow breathing, Lu Yunwan's brows furrowed, he looked fragile and... seductive.

Under the urging of the voice in his heart again and again, Chu Xuanzhou couldn't help holding his breath, and walked towards Lu Yunwan cautiously.

The silver-gray hatch behind the boy also closed at this time.

Not a sound came out.
