Counterattack [Interstellar]

Chapter 57:

“Have you notified your Majesty?” Madam Jenny said as she walked downstairs, “I have already said the ugly things, and I have done the wicked ones. Your Majesty can go and comfort her.”

The butler smiled and nodded: “It has been notified. Your Majesty will rush over immediately.”

Mrs. Jenny chuckled and shook her head. “To be honest, some of your Majesty’s actions really make me sick.”

The butler didn’t seem to have heard it, but just bowed to remind: “His Royal Highness, please be careful of the stairs.”

Mrs. Jenny paused and looked upstairs. The butler was just an ordinary person. He couldn’t hear what was happening, and asked in confusion, “Your Highness?”

Mrs. Jennie showed sarcasm and whispered in a low voice: “That woman is crying in Alston’s arms…”

The butler smiled clearly, and Mrs. Jenny curled her lips and continued to walk down.

“Good night, Your Highness.”

After sending Mrs. Jeanne to the door, the butler bowed to Mrs. Jeanne, but Mrs. Jeanne did not leave as usual. Instead, she stopped to look at the butler and said, “Prince Adair is not at home, so I don’t want to go back… You walk with me.”

The butler hesitated a little, he walked with Mrs. Jenny, which was obviously not proper.

Mrs. Jennie smiled helplessly: “Your Majesty doesn’t need you now, can’t you take a walk with me for a while?”

The butler looked around, and finally agreed. Mrs. Jenny smiled: “I know you will never reject me.” The butler smiled bitterly: “You are still the same as before.”

“What’s the same? Do you always ask you embarrassing requests?” Mrs. Jenny smiled, “Come here.”

The night was as cold as water, and there were several insect calls from time to time in the lawn. Mrs. Jenny walked slowly along the path in the greenery until she reached the rose flower. The two chatted with each other, basically It was all Mrs. Jenny’s words, and the butler answered. After a while, the butler finally couldn’t stand it, and said in a low voice: “His Royal Highness, if you need me to do something, or if you have anything you want to ask me, please speak straight. ”

Mrs. Jenny blinked and smiled: “Is it so obvious?”

“When you were young, there were a few blueberry trees in the bushes of the palace garden. You always wanted to go over the bushes to pick blueberries, but your tutors would not allow it. Every time you come to me with a small basket and let me help you When I went to pick blueberries, it was all like this…” The butler smiled, “I didn’t say it, but deliberately took me to stroll around the bushes.”

Mrs. Jenny couldn’t help laughing: “It’s always a bad habit to be greedy. I’m afraid that you will talk about me like teachers, so of course I dare not say it directly…”

The butler bowed slightly: “But it’s different now. You’ve grown up, and I don’t know what you think. So please speak up, if it’s what I can do, I won’t hesitate.”

“I want to know…” Mrs. Jenny pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “I want to know, what is the relationship between Alston and Admiral Pei Xuan, the father of Major General Pei Yao?”

The housekeeper frowned: “What’s the relationship?”

Mrs. Jenny took a breath, and whispered Ellen’s previous suspicions to the housekeeper, and finally worried: “To be honest, although your majesty is my brother, I am willing to solve the problem for him in the situation just now, but In all fairness, your Majesty is really a terrible person in terms of emotions. Now Allen’s relationship has finally eased a little bit. I really don’t want the father and son to have conflicts because of some old things. So please be correct. I’m telling the truth, what has happened between Your Majesty and Pei Xuan?”

Mrs. Jenny looked at the butler’s eyes tightly. The butler turned her head and avoided. Mrs. Jenny keenly felt what he was avoiding, and said, “Is this true? Alston really treated Pei Xuan…”

“No.” The butler laughed. “Of course not. I can tell you with certainty that your Majesty has never liked any of Major General Pei Yao’s parents… Why would you doubt this? Your Majesty only likes women, you know. ”

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

“I…” the butler said for a long while, “you are too worried.”

“Brother Cecil…” Mrs. Jenny’s eyes were full of light, “When you were young, you never rejected me.”

Seeing Mrs. Jenny who was coquettish as before, the housekeeper was quite moved. Finally, he sighed and said in a low voice: “Let’s start with the last transfer letter that Admiral Pei Xuan received.”

“You know, Admiral Pei Xuan was originally your majesty’s knight. Except during wartime, Admiral Pei Xuan is usually accompanied by His Majesty. Your Majesty really trusts him very much. These rumors are true.” The housekeeper recalled. Slowly said, “Later, our alliance with Leistine broke down, and most of the empire was in war. As you know, the situation at that time was very tense… It was at that time that your Majesty appointed Admiral Pei Xuan to form an expeditionary force.”

“Externally, Your Majesty has always said that the role of the Expeditionary Force is mainly to transport supplies to the war-torn lands on the edge of the Imperial Star Territory. Internally, only some people know that the main task of the Expeditionary Force is actually to carry out spy work. This is still there to follow. Yes, if you investigate further, you will find that the previous expeditionary force was under the National Defense Security Bureau, which can already explain some problems.”

“In the first seven years of the battle against Leisting, the expeditionary army hardly returned to the main star. They fought all the year round in the most dangerous and difficult environment. At that time, their casualty rate was the highest among all arms, in contrast to this. Their contribution is also the greatest. Your Majesty once said to Pei Xuan that without them, the war would have been extended for at least five years.” Thinking of the turmoil butler at the time, he felt grief and shook his head, “But it’s a pity, maybe it is. The battle situation has become tense. Perhaps the expeditionary force’s reputation is too victorious, and it has attracted the attention of Leistine, who was angry with the successive defeats. Or it was just an accident… In a large-scale star war, the expeditionary force was tragically ambushed and received. After the devastating attack by Lestine, the expeditionary army fought for several months, and finally all died in battle.”

Mrs. Jenny was dumb: “This, this is different from what I investigated…”

“His Royal Highness, many things that the Expeditionary Army has done in those years cannot be disclosed to the public. For your Majesty, for the Empire, many things about them have been tried to dilute and hide, and only their achievements are left.” He smiled, “You probably understand now. Admiral Yu Qing Peixuan has been your majesty’s right-hand man for many years. Admiral Yu Li Peixuan will sacrifice his life for the empire. Your Majesty has a preference for his son, and there is nothing wrong with it. reasonable.”

Mrs. Jennie did not answer the conversation. She knew that the butler was telling the truth, but she also knew that he must have deliberately hidden something. That is the most important thing. Mrs. Jennie sighed. You are now loyal to Auston, and he said that this was because of his childhood affection. If it really involves Auston’s privacy, let alone pleading with him like this, he would not say it even if he was forced to use a knife. .

Mrs. Jenny accepted it as soon as she saw her, and nodded and said, “Indeed, it makes more sense.”

“It’s going to dawn soon. I think you should go back to the palace to rest, or I will ask you to tidy up your room here.” The butler took out his pocket watch to check the time and frowned, “I shouldn’t choose this one.” Time to tell you this.”

Mrs. Jenny smiled: “It’s nothing, if you don’t tell me, I probably won’t be able to rest well…I won’t stay, the whole palace smells of Bettina pheromone, and I am disgusting if I smell it.”

The butler lowered his head and smiled: “Well, then I’ll go and notify your driver.”

“By the way, there is one more thing.” Madam Jeanne called the housekeeper and frowned. “Bettina told me just now…Only Pei Yao knows about Pearl. What is she talking about?”

This time, the butler was also confused. He said sincerely: “It’s a pity, I really don’t know this.”

Mrs. Jenny shook her head: “Forget it, let me ask Pei Yao if I have a chance.”

The butler nodded: “That’s the best.”

In the exercise field of Alice Academy, Lean and a few other students on duty were carefully checking the probes in the woods. Lean suddenly stopped and looked at a big tree not far away vigilantly.

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

After approaching, Pei Yao leaned down and pulled away the branches. With a smile, there were nine eggs in the bird’s nest.

Pei Yao picked up five of them and carefully put them into the pocket of his jacket, turned and returned to the main trunk of the tree, turning over and dropping the tree neatly while protecting the bird eggs in his arms.

“School…Principal.” Laian looked at Pei Yao who descended from the sky and said mechanically, “Good evening.”

It’s somewhat embarrassing to be digging out a bird’s nest by his students. Pei Yao patted the leaves on his body and said unnaturally: “Good evening, you guys… are still on duty?”

A girl beside Lean nodded timidly: “Yes, tonight our team is in charge of the vigilance around the camp.”

Pei Yao nodded: “The first time you work at night, you should be careful and pay attention to safety.”

“Principal, is the Bobobird egg in your hand?” Another student looked over curiously, “Look at the size and color…it should be Bobobird’s egg, right? May I see it, principal?”

Pei Yao spread his hand, and the student carefully picked up one and took a look. Laian wondered: “What’s wrong? Is there anything weird about this kind of egg?”

“Don’t you know? This kind of bird’s egg tastes very good, and its nutritional value is also good.” The guide holding the bird’s egg tweeted, “It’s a pity that the bird can’t keep it, so there are almost no such eggs for sale. The price is also very expensive, and there is actually in the exercise field. I’m so lucky… this can be baked and eaten, right?”

Pei Yao glanced at him, nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Wow…” The little guide swallowed and looked at Pei Yao expectantly, “It’s delicious, isn’t it?”

“It’s delicious.” Pei Yao took the bird egg from the little guide back and said, “You talk, I’ll go first.”

“The principal…” The little guide blinked and looked at Pei Yao’s back for a long while speechless, “He…he took it away?”

Layan hates iron for failing to make steel: “Otherwise?! Feed you this little fat man? You still have to ask, if it is really such a precious thing, the principal must send it to His Royal Highness Allen! This is still useful Ask?!”

The girl who had been hiding behind showed admiration and whispered: “The principal and His Royal Highness Allen are really affectionate.”

Lian raised an eyebrow and said proudly: “Of course, you don’t know, I contacted the principal once before, and it was His Royal Highness Allen over there! His Royal Highness Alan took the communication from the principal! Needless to say how close the two are. I guess they must have been…”

…

Pei Yao’s hearing is very good. After turning over the two posts, he can still hear the chirping of the students. He is thin-skinned and embarrassed, but looking at the few small eggs in his hand, he thinks it is still worth it…Alan may not have eaten Too.
