Chapter 289 It Can't Be This Explosive

Chapter 289

After all that fuss, Ye Yao finally fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep was even more comfortable than when I first fell asleep on my own.

Indeed, falling asleep after exercise is the most relaxing.

**
This should be the first time Ye Yao has met Madam Xinya.

Herman's stepmother.

A woman dressed simply, with a gentle and intellectual temperament and a clean appearance.

With the help of her maid, she arrived at the Moon Palace and greeted Ye Yao with a smile.

There was not a trace of arrogance in his eyes.

Yet this very woman orchestrated Lu Yao's death.

This angered Hermann's birth mother to death, and she secured her current position by sacrificing her ability to have children for the rest of her life.

Calling her selfish is unreasonable.

She has the right to have children, and no one has the right to interfere with her reproductive decisions.

Vanity? Greed for power?
Who doesn't like it.

Anyone with the ability would love to follow in Lady Xinya's footsteps.

Very few of them are feasible.

She succeeded.

Furthermore, by utilizing the Lu family, they achieved a strange balance with the royal family.

Even if King Herman ascends to the throne, he will not be able to lay a hand on the woman who killed his own mother.

Killing a woman and causing turmoil within Stellite is neither a wise choice nor something a king should do.

Deadly enmity should not supersede the overall interests.

Even if King Hermann insisted on going his own way, the cabinet would stop him.

Despite how cunning Lady Cynthia was in her youth, she always devoted herself wholeheartedly to the matter of King Herman.

If it weren't for Lady Xinya, it's hard to say who would be sitting on this throne now.

Madam Xinya looked at Ye Yao with a calm gaze; no one knew what she was thinking.

She was shocked by how similar Ye Yao and Lu Yao were, or rather, exactly the same.

Although many people look alike, do people who look exactly alike really exist?

For some reason, Madam Xinya felt that Ye Yao was like Lu Yao.

This idea is illogical, but a woman's intuition can sometimes be irrational.

“You look a lot like the adopted daughter of the Lu family.”

Her voice was very gentle, and her eyes were even more so.

She gives off the feeling of a caring older sister.

Her unique temperament makes it easy for people to let their guard down around her.

Ye Yao smiled and said, "I've heard of it, and I also know about it because Lu Shen knows about it."

The waiter brought tea and snacks, and the two sat down at the bedside table.

"What is the significance of Madam Xinya mentioning this person?"

"The person is dead."

Mrs. Xinya was slightly taken aback; she was no longer so sure.

The deaths of others are indeed insignificant.

But if it really is a person, how could they be completely unaffected?

"What brings you to the Moon Palace, Madam?"

She was the Queen Mother.

Even if the Moon Palace were the best, she couldn't possibly have come here so lightly.

Moreover, if one wants to eat it, one can simply send someone to purchase it and bring it back to the palace.

They absolutely won't visit the temple unless they have a reason.

Madam Xinya had a superficial understanding of Ye Yao's personality; she disliked pretense and insincerity.

Someone like her is likely to offend people in her own circle and find it difficult to make friends.

However, Madam Xinya's purpose in coming here today is indeed to ask for a favor.

When you ask someone for a favor, you naturally need to have the right attitude.

"Two days ago, Tusya attacked Steinert."

"The commander of the First Army Corps was dismissed due to poor defense."

Lady Xinya said, "The Second Legion will likely face a similar situation..." Listening to Lady Xinya's analysis, an absurd thought surged into my mind.

This idea is truly absurd.

Just thinking about it makes me realize that no human being would do such a thing.

She actually suspected that the massacre of Stelth by Tusaya was a result of King Herman sacrificing those twenty-odd planets in order to overthrow the commander of the legion and completely control the military power of the entire star system.

scary.

Even though she was a jerk, she still found the idea terrifying.

“I remember that the commander of the First Legion was one of King Herman’s men.”

She was also somewhat curious. "This space pirate attack happened suddenly, and those planets are quite far from the capital planet. It would take time to get there and fight back. It shouldn't be enough to warrant being dismissed."

Having been immersed in power for many years, how could Madam Xin Ya not understand?

Wang has become too powerful; she wants to use her cronies to undermine the Lu family, who support her.

Even after the Lu family falls, his confidants will still be well taken care of.

What about the Lu family?
It will be completely submerged in Stelter.

Emerging families lack sufficient foundation; once they fall, the possibility of them rising again is extremely slim.

Even if your family has outstanding descendants, resources are limited, and those established families will not allow you to rise again.

Lady Xinya knew that the king's goal was to seize the Lu family's army.

The hand resting on the table suddenly began to tremble.

Seemingly realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly pressed himself down.

Ye Yao slightly curled the corners of her lips. Had she noticed something?
Could it be that it's not what I thought?

If that's the case, then King Herman must be an extraordinary figure.

“Madam, my only connection with Steiner is through Connie Logan.”

Help the Lu family?
What are you dreaming about?

She should be secretly glad that she didn't kick him when he was down.

"As for the others, it's no use asking me."

Madam Xinya lowered her brows, concealing the complex emotions in her eyes.

After a long silence, he said, "I think you are Lu Yao."

Ye Yao raised an eyebrow and met Madam Xin Ya's gaze.

Her eyes were filled with certainty.

"Heh~" I couldn't help but laugh.

"Lu Yao's spirit body was devoured by the Lu family."

As Ye Yao moved closer to Madam Xin Ya, her tone was full of malice.

"If I really am Ye Yao, then you're just asking for death by finding me."

"I hate it when people owe me something, whether it's tangible or intangible. If they owe me something, they must pay me back double."

"If I were Lu Yao, the Lu family would have completely ceased to exist by now."

"Including the protectors behind the Lu family, and you!"

Ignore Mrs. Xinya's expression.

Ye Yao said, "Since you've found me, it means the Lu family is doomed this time, with no chance of recovery..."

"Instead of asking me, an outsider, for help, you should ask your eldest son."

This woman came out of nowhere and left in a strange way.

However, Ye Yao was preparing to leave.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, civil war will soon break out in Steinert.

The Lu family couldn't just stand by and watch everything be taken away, and then be forced to shoulder such a huge burden for nothing.

The undercurrents within this situation have reached a point where they could erupt at any moment.

Assuming her outlandish guess is correct.

King Herman was an extremely arrogant and self-important man.

He felt that by using Tusaya, he could weaken the Lu family's power.

Little did he expect that the consequences of trying to negotiate with a tiger would be far beyond what he could bear.

Someone must be found to take the blame for this, otherwise King Herman's position may be in jeopardy.

He has quite a few brothers and sisters.

She thought of others, but what about others?

Goodnight, my darlings
