Wei Yanwu himself was also worried about having a child—if a royal heir with the bloodlines of both the Eastern Kingdom's royal family and the Great Yan's royal family were born, then whether he wanted it or not, he and his child would have to be drawn into the political struggle between the two countries.

Wei Yanwu didn't care about the matter of bloodline inheritance, but he noticed that Wen Yue's love for children grew stronger every day.

He knew his wife understood, but he was also in pain because he could give Wenyue everything she wanted, except for a child.

"You mean... use my child to pretend that my sister gave birth to her child?"

"It's been six months now, and there are still about three to four months until she gives birth. During this time, lock your sister up and make up any excuses for others, just pretend that she's not pregnant."

Qiao Yelan began to patiently guide him.

"During this time, you and your wife need to start working on it. Once the pregnancy is confirmed, you can start arranging your sister's fake wedding. You can be in a bit of a rush—that way, if Princess Wenyue has a premature birth, you can use an excuse like your sister getting married because she's pregnant."

"After that, it's very simple. After the marriage, have your sister pretend to be pregnant. When Princess Wenyue's pregnancy becomes obvious, announce to the public that you are worried about her and want your sister to return to her parents' home to give birth, where Princess Wenyue will take care of her—"

At this point, Wei Yanwu had fully understood Qiao Yelan's words.

"But the truth is actually the opposite. I should have my sister take care of Wenyue. This way, Wenyue can disappear from the public eye without arousing any suspicion, and everything a pregnant woman needs can be delivered to my own residence without anyone suspecting it."

"This way, we can keep it a secret until Princess Wenyue gives birth. Then, we can announce that the newborn child is your sister's child and let her take it back to raise it. Meanwhile, her child with Edward will be raised in secret, or simply handed over to Edward, who is away, to raise."

Qiao Yelan provided a solution that was practically perfect.

How can the doctor's problem be solved?

"If you're not comfortable with the Swire family—Babel Tower can take responsibility. I can proudly declare that Babel Tower possesses the best medical team, medical equipment, and medical technology in all of Terra."

"What if the child has a racial issue?"

"You mean if Princess Wenyue gave birth to a Qilin instead of a dragon—that's easy. Just say that one of Princess Da Yan's lovers is a ghost ninja under your wife's command, and then sharpen your child's horns a bit."

"...How do you know how to do this so well?"

"The old method. You have no idea how many Letanians sharpened their horns and impersonated Sarkaz to escape to Kazdel when that old bastard Helhunzollen was in power. Thanks to these people, Babel would not have been able to establish a complete set of facilities in Kazdel."

There was silence again on the other end of the phone.

However, Qiao Yelan knew that Wei Yanwu was just thinking about whether there were any other loopholes that needed to be filled.

“I will have Edward leave soon—you must guarantee his safety.”

"Rest assured, Your Highness Wei Yanwu, when has the Tower of Babel ever broken the contract it signed?"

The man laughed.

"The contract... speaking of which, I have to thank you for this."

"You're welcome. Babel Tower's job is to fulfill other people's wishes; otherwise, why would I have such a good reputation throughout Terra?"

Wei Yanwu sighed silently.

Even after he hinted at it to this extent, Qiao Yelan still didn't say what he wanted.

In this matter, Qiao Yelan's plan and the assistance that Babel Tower will provide in the future can be said to have made a great contribution. It not only solved his immediate problem, but also fulfilled the wish that he and Wen Yue had never dared to dream of.

but--

Is Qiao Yelan a saint who does things without expecting anything in return?

Is the Tower of Babel a charity?

The most valuable favors are those that are never repaid.

The most fatal flaw is that Wei Yanwu had no idea what else he possessed that Babel Tower and Qiao Yelan needed.

But there was no other way; he had no other choice. If he wanted to save Edward, then seeking help from Babel Tower and Qiao Yelan was the best solution.

Are you suggesting I just watch Edward die, let my own sister hate me for life, let my subordinates turn against me, and let my position at Lungmen become precarious?

Wei Yanwu closed his eyes.

"I owe you a favor."

This was a statement that would make everyone in the Great Yan Dynasty, except for the emperor, feel flattered and overjoyed.

"Thank you for your generosity—I will hand over the handover arrangements to Dr. Kal'tsit, and you can contact her directly at that time."

On the other end of the communication, Qiao Yelan's voice showed no joy or excitement, only the usual calm.

----------------------------------------------

"Teacher, you've worked so hard."

“It’s alright. After all, Trinitylme is a city I’m looking forward to seeing—it’s you who are the ones who got dragged into this.”

Qiao Yelan smiled and shook her head.

"Then I'll be going now. You guys just follow the method I mentioned before. I've already given instructions to the people of Babel Tower. They will be the first to back down. Once they hand over their supplies, they can motivate the others to do the same."

"Don't worry, teacher, when you return from Kazimierz, we will have the situation under control."

Ivignad said seriously.

"Of course, I believe you can do it."

Qiao Yelan stared intently into her eyes.

"There's one more thing—"

Helena leaned down and whispered in Qiao Yelan's ear, but her eyes were fixed on Kashena behind him.

"Teacher, please try to rein in your tendency to be a know-it-all—at least, don't always target girls as students."

Qiao Yelan: ?

I'm going to sue you for defamation.

He gave an awkward yet polite smile.

Without saying anything more, Helinmat stepped forward, pushed aside Kashena, gave Kashena a threatening yet provocative look, and pushed Qiao Yelan into the car.

A blue vein appeared on the black snake's forehead.

She felt like an innocent little animal passing by, who was inexplicably kicked by the two sisters in the same way and with the same attitude.

One or two—so I'm part of your teacher-student play, right?

After the car started, Qiao Yelan looked at Kashiena, who seemed to be in a low mood, with some confusion.

"what happened to you?"

"fine."

"It's alright—I told you, you need their help, so try to get along with them."

Kashina blinked. She had actually guessed the twin empresses' attitude towards Qiao Yelan—but judging from Qiao Yelan's current state, it seemed that he was the one who didn't understand the situation.

"Speaking of which, you seem quite satisfied?"

"Of course I'm satisfied. Ivignad and Herlinmat have finally gotten back on track and adjusted their mindset—as their teacher, how could I not be satisfied?"

Qiao Yelan nodded.

The last time he went to Ursus, Ivignad and Helimat were reluctant to part with him, even though they knew he was going to help them pave the way, they still stubbornly wanted him to stay and lead them.

This time, when he went to Kazimierz, the two girls had completely changed from their previous girlish attitudes and fully understood his actions. They were no longer students who relied on their teacher, but had truly grown into two emperors.

That's right, the Empress should focus on her career and use her ambition to crush those love-struck fools, so that Wei Yanwu can take a good look at other people's sisters!

Therefore, he is very satisfied with the current state of the two of them.

Kashina, on the other hand, showed an expression that was half surprised and half thoughtful.

It seems... there's one kind of heart that this guy, who can see through everyone's hearts, can't see through...

Not sure, ask again.

"You really only see them as students?"

"Huh? What else?"

"If—I mean, if—those two empresses harbored feelings for you that went beyond those of a teacher and student, what would you choose?"

"How could such a thing happen?"

Qiao Yelan scoffed.

"The reason why the two of them are so dependent on me is because I acted as a father or elder brother. They didn't receive any love growing up, and everyone treated them as tools. Therefore, Gemini's emotions have always been suppressed because they lack an object to whom they can place their emotions."

"Now they are on the right track, and soon this suppressed emotion will burst forth and be poured into Triintelme, or even the whole of Letania. They will lead Letania to a new era of glory."

Kasya's expression became increasingly peculiar.

"You said that Gemini's emotions are always suppressed—is it possible that their emotions have already been released?"

“There is absolutely no such possibility—I was also worried that they might deviate from their original plans because of the release of their emotions. That’s why I personally took on the role of their teacher, in order to use this position to screen others and prevent them from taking advantage of the uncertainty of ‘emotions’.”

Qiao Yelan said with absolute certainty.

Kashiena nodded knowingly; she had already figured out what was going on with Qiao Yelan.

This guy must have been blind to his own shortcomings at the time and didn't vet himself.

However, she felt it necessary to test the waters again indirectly.

"I have another question—you said that everyone treats them as pawns, but your attitude towards them is clearly different from that of others, right?"

"Hmm? Is there something wrong with my attitude? This is how I communicate with people I consider pawns—you should have noticed that in Ursus, right? From Witt to Yegor, from Fyodor to Oleg, I communicated with them in the way that made them feel closest to me, and they never even doubted it. Instead, they thought I was the same kind of person as him."
