Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1730: It Should Have Been So Long Ago (Second Update)

The Empress Tan Tai Zijun looked impatient and didn't take the matter of a mere palace maid to heart at all.

This is exactly the effect Ji Huangzhen wanted.

There are many things that Your Majesty does not need to know, just sit back and enjoy the results.

Because she is the emperor.

Ji Huangzhen smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Empress Dowager Li Fengen caught a glimpse of Ji Huangzhen's expression, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said unhappily: "Emperor, you must respect Aunt Ji."

"...Because of those reasons, I had no choice but to keep you outside the palace."

"It is inconvenient for me to leave the palace, so I have asked Aunt Ji to visit you regularly."

"Your food, clothing, housing, transportation, and the resources that have been used to train you since you were a child were all arranged by Aunt Ji."

"She is like your adoptive mother to you. You must not act like an emperor to her."

The pupils of Empress Tan Tai Zijun shrank slightly, she clenched her fists secretly, and even showed anger on her face.

Ji Huangzhen said hurriedly: "You are too kind, Queen Mother!"

"I just visited His Majesty as you instructed. I didn't do anything else."

"Your Majesty, please remember the kindness shown by the Queen Mother in raising you."

"I am the Queen Mother's lady-in-waiting. Everything I do is in accordance with the Queen Mother's orders."

Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun snorted coldly: "...You are just a dog of the Queen Mother! You want me to respect you?! Queen Mother, do you want to listen to what you are saying!"

Having said that, she stormed out angrily.

Ji Huangzhen was so embarrassed that she knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, I have offended Your Majesty. I will leave the palace now."

"Please allow me to resign as a female official and retire from the palace."

Although Empress Dowager Li Fengen had a stern face, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.

She said calmly: "Your Majesty is getting more and more irritable and forgetful..."

"She forgot how she got to this throne!"

"If I hadn't prepared for her, she would have been just an ordinary princess raised among the people."

Ji Huangzhen heard that the Queen Mother's tone was a little off, so she hurriedly advised: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty is young and energetic, and you are the most noble person in the world, so it is inevitable that you have a temper."

"You are the elder and the only relative of His Majesty in the royal family. If you don't pamper her, who will?"

The Empress Dowager Li Fengen nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know, but I am also angry for you."

"You have worked hard for His Majesty for so many years. Even if you have no merit, you have worked hard."

"But she didn't take it to heart at all."

Ji Huangzhen smiled bitterly and said, "Queen Mother, please don't say such things anymore."

"If you keep saying that, you're pushing me into a dead end..."

"Your Majesty is a member of the royal family. Who would be willing to listen to you mentioning that she was kept outside the palace?"

"This is your biological daughter!"

Empress Dowager Li Fengen snorted and said, "If she wasn't my biological daughter, would I have allowed her to ascend the throne?"

"It's a pity for my prince... If my prince hadn't been in trouble, I would have only wanted Zijun to be a happy noble lady and never know her identity as a princess!"

Ji Huangzhen sighed softly and said, "My Lord, what a pity..."

"Who knew...the late emperor...would be so excessive..."

Empress Dowager Li Fengen frowned and said, "The late emperor was just overdoing it?! The late emperor was outrageous!"

"I'm actually very happy that someone killed that beast!"

For her, being the Queen Mother is far better than being the unworthy queen who is humiliated every day!

It was the first time that Ji Huangzhen heard such straightforward and decisive words from Empress Dowager Li Fengen.

She hurriedly covered the mouth of the Empress Dowager Li Fengen and said anxiously: "My Queen Dowager! Please hold it in!"

"If Lord Zong Ling hears this, you will be in a lot of trouble!"

When Empress Dowager Li Feng'en heard the word "Zongling", she became a little crazy, but slowly calmed down.

She subconsciously took two steps back and said uncomfortably, "Did I say something outrageous just now?"

Ji Huangzhen sighed and nodded.

Empress Dowager Li Fengen's eyes turned red and tears fell down in big drops.

She held Ji Huangzhen's hand and begged, "Huangzhen! You can't leave! If you leave, I...what will I do if I get sick again?!"

"I really didn't mean to say those words... I just... I just got excited and I just... I just couldn't control my mouth!"

Ji Huangzhen hurriedly poured her a cup of tea, helped her drink it, and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. This is the soothing tea prescribed by the imperial physician."

"Have a drink and you'll be calm."

"You're not sick, you just can't get angry."

"From now on, just cultivate your mind and cultivate your character, and ignore everything else."

"Your Majesty has grown up and can take charge of things on his own."

"Wouldn't it be nice for you to listen to some music and enjoy yourself in the palace?"

"If you don't want to live in the palace, you can live anywhere on the habitable planets in the Beichen Empire. Who dares to say 'no'?"

"You are just overthinking, Queen Mother... Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so just relax!"

Empress Dowager Li Fengen drank the cup of tea quietly before she calmed down.

She rubbed her tense temples and said with a dull look in her eyes, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to take a nap."

"Huang Zhen, don't leave."

Ji Huangzhen had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. I won't leave. I'll stay here with you."

Empress Dowager Li Fengen, with the help of Ji Huangzhen, went to the bedroom of the palace to take a nap. After she fell asleep, Ji Huangzhen quietly left.

She let out a long sigh of relief when she walked out of Queen Mother Li Fengen's palace.

She had had enough of this kind of life...

She still wanted to quit her job and go home.

As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger.

Although Empress Dowager Li Fengen is not a monarch, she is scarier than a tiger!
Ji Huangzhen frowned when he thought of the attitude of the Empress Tan Tai Zijun just now.

So, who around them is so powerful that can change the energy in that pearl?

What is the purpose of someone with this ability lurking around them?
The more Ji Huangzhen thought about it, the more frightened he became. He hurried home to tell people about it.

When she returned home, she immediately went to discuss with her husband.

Over the years, the couple has supported each other to get to where they are today.

Her husband, Qiu Chizhou, is a distant relative of Earl Qiu.

They are already out of the fifth degree of mourning and no longer enjoy noble titles and treatment, but are just citizens.

Ji Huangzhen was the personal maid of the eldest daughter of the Li family. She was also very beautiful. There were so many people who wanted to marry her that they could have circled the imperial capital twice.

However, she did not accept the proposals of those nobles, and instead married Qiu Chizhou, who was no longer a noble.

It was her choice that made Li Fengen, who was already married to the prince at the time, trust her more.

When Li Feng'en entered the palace and became queen, she immediately called Ji Huangzhen in and made her her personal maid.

I have been doing this for more than 20 years.

Ji Huangzhen was also a little tired.

Qiu Chizhou massaged her shoulders and neck and said, "You are old now and have status beside the Empress Dowager. You don't need to do everything yourself."

Ji Huangzhen shook his head and said, "It's not worry-free."

"I won't feel at ease if I don't do it myself."

Qiu Chizhou held her shoulders tightly and said, "You still have me. In this life, we are no worse than anyone else!"

Ji Huangzhen smiled slightly, held his hand with her backhand, and said, "Yes, in this life, we are no worse than anyone else."

"By the way, where's Xiao Neng?"

Qiu Xiaoneng is their son, and he just started college this year.

However, because of the Zerg invasion, all universities have been on indefinite holiday.

Qiu Chizhou said: "I asked him to work as a handyman in my lab. He can use his name to publish papers and prepare for future job hunting."

Ji Huangzhen said disapprovingly: "Why should you, my son, have such a hard time finding a job?"

"When the time comes, please... Queen Mother and Your Majesty, don't worry about his future."

Qiu Chizhou smiled and said, "It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Huangzhen, this is how you and I got here."

Ji Huangzhen was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "I was wrong. I will listen to you."

Then she talked about the pearl.

"Chizhou, tell me, among our acquaintances, who could be the one who can erase the special energy in the pearl?"

Qiu Chizhou thought about everything Ji Huangzhen said, frowned and said, "I still think Xia Chujian is the most suspicious."

Ji Huangzhen disagreed: "It definitely couldn't be her."

"First of all, she is not a genetically evolved person."

"Just this one point can exclude her."

Qiu Chizhou said: "I can't explain why. Even if it's not her, it has a lot to do with her."

"How else do you explain the matter of the mutton-fat jade bracelet?"

"Could it be that the mutton-fat jade bracelet, after coming into contact with the pearl, eliminated the special energy in the pearl?"

Qiu Chizhou's words made Ji Huangzhen, who had just laid down, sit up straight.

She widened her eyes and said, "Chizhou! You are so smart!"

“I never thought of this as the reason!”

"Besides, I agree with what you said!"

"Although I don't know why, I know that Xia Chujian is not a genetic evolver because he doesn't have such great power."

"But I also feel that this matter is probably closely related to her!"

Qiu Chizhou nodded: "You think the same as I do now."

"Why don't you go and tell His Majesty and the Queen Mother that it's better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go."

Ji Huangzhen nodded: "It should have been done a long time ago."

……

Guiyuan Star, Mulan City, one o'clock in the morning.

It is the darkest hour before dawn, and also the time when the human body is most sleepy.

Even Xia Miao and Xia Hua, the two people on duty in the monitoring room of Xia's manor, were drowsy.

Fortunately, there is mechanical intelligence, which works non-stop.

But even with mechanical intelligence, when thick black fog rose in the area where Xia's manor was located, the mechanical intelligence did not sound the alarm.

Because it judges this situation as a weather change.

It suddenly fogs up. Is there any need to call the police?
The black fog became thicker and thicker, and soon it enveloped the entire Xia Manor as if it were real.
