Star Sea Hunter

This sentence was no less than a thunderbolt exploding over the head of the Minister of the Interior.

"What? This...can't be...really? Am I...to be a father too?" He asked in surprise and joy.

After getting the girl's affirmative reply, he no longer knew how to express his joy, so he just hugged her tightly.

With his current cultivation level of fifteenth rank, it is not easy to conceive a child. Fortunately, the other party has not cultivated supernatural powers, and his luck is good enough to conceive so quickly. How could he not let him Overjoyed?

"So...you should make a decision now, right?" Zhu Mingyue stared at his face and asked softly:

Li Xingyan, who was immersed in joy, suddenly woke up, and the look of struggle and hesitation appeared on her face again.

He knew what the girl wanted, and understood that her request was not too much, but because of her status, he really couldn't do anything now!

Originally, with his status and the huge power in his hands, it was a matter of little effort to get her a legal identity, but it was another matter to marry her and be accepted and recognized by the people around him.

In any case, Zhu Mingyue's true identity and origin must not be known to outsiders, otherwise, once it reaches the ears of His Majesty, the consequences will be disastrous!Even his two sisters who are imperial concubines can't protect him.

It stands to reason that outsiders have no right to ask who he wants to marry.However, as the Marshal of the Empire and the hereditary Duke, he has been in control of key departments such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs since the founding of the country, a member of the core decision-making layer of the Empire, and one of the most favored ministers around His Majesty, his marriage problem can never be a trivial matter, Mingli I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring in the dark!

Although Yun Haoyu himself does not like the kind of transactional marriage based on the combination of interests, so he has never imposed restrictions on the lifelong affairs of their close ministers, but the official wife of the dignified Duke of the Empire is still not enough to just find a woman. !

If he decides to get married, he must report all the information of his spouse and his immediate family members to the House of Nobles. After going through the most detailed screening by the review committee and reviewing by the people from the Royal Household Office, he will submit it to the House of Lords after confirming that there are no problems. His Majesty the Emperor approved it, so that his wife could be accepted and recognized by the imperial aristocratic system, and the heirs born in the future would have the legal right of inheritance.

Li Xingyan understands that with Yun Haoyu's temperament, even if he randomly finds an untouchable woman who doesn't even have a legal status to be his wife, he will never embarrass his subjects, as long as he likes it.The problem is that Zhu Mingyue's identity is too sensitive!

As a clone, especially her main body is the cruel queen of the previous dynasty, the vicious woman who poisoned the emperors of the two dynasties, and what's more terrible is that she still has the blood of a foreign race, which is tantamount to violating the taboo, no matter how tolerant the monarch It may not be possible to sit idly by.

That's why he felt so embarrassed by Zhu Mingyue's expectation, not because he didn't want to agree, but because this matter has already involved his entire family.For the sake of this girl, he asked himself that he could give up his current position of power, but he couldn't implicate his relatives.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Zhu Mingyue didn't say anything else, she broke free from his arms silently, took her own clothes and put them on.

Li Xingyan sighed softly, stood up and hugged her again, and said, "Forget it, after His Majesty returns to court this time, I will resign from this job to him! Anyway, I am now an extremely human minister, and all I should enjoy are Having enjoyed it, there is nothing unacceptable in retiring here."

The empire is so big, it would be a more free and easy choice for them to find a planet with beautiful scenery to live the secluded life of the fairy couple.

A smile appeared on Zhu Mingyue's face again, and she said softly to him: "Actually, I don't want to force you to give up your current power, it's just... these days, those lingering guys have come to pester you every day. I'm really scared!"

"You can rest assured that I said that I will never fall in love with any other woman except you in this life!" Li Xingyan solemnly promised.

"That's good, then I have nothing to worry about!" Zhu Mingyue said contentedly.

What she said was that since this period of time, the great nobles of the imperial capital have been sending people to the door to talk about their marriage for Li Xingyan. To a whole lot!

It's no wonder that many important ministers around His Majesty the Emperor are basically married now, but he, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, remains single, which naturally attracted the attention of interested people.

Therefore, many aristocratic families began to plan to find ways to betroth their daughters to this popular imperial minister, using this as a bond to close the relationship with His Majesty the Emperor and enhance their own status and influence.

Such considerations are perfectly normal in high society!Apart from His Majesty the Emperor, the best candidate for a political marriage is the important ministers around His Majesty. If one can marry such a hereditary Duke of the empire, a big shot at the core decision-making level, and thus gain a relationship with the royal family, in the eyes of any Patriarch It is a choice to make a profit without losing money!

That's why they are so enthusiastic about the lifelong affairs of the young Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, especially the foreign nobles, and those Patriarchs with a strong sense of urgency spare no effort.

Although Li Xingyan was displeased with their behavior, they still had good intentions, and since they were all famous figures in the empire, it was not good to cause too much trouble, so they could only politely refuse.However, those people never thought of giving up like this, which made Zhu Mingyue feel a sense of crisis and forced him to express his opinion.

No matter what, her status is not visible, the worst thing is to ask His Majesty the Emperor once, if it is not possible, I can only give up everything and take her away from the imperial capital to live in seclusion. Anyway, I have followed His Majesty to create a new era of the human world. In the history books of the future, I will also have a place for myself, and there is nothing to regret.

At the door of the bedroom, soft music sounded, he stopped what he was doing, and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

The biochemical butler's voice came from outside: "Master, there is a message from the palace asking you to attend an emergency meeting as soon as possible! What do you think should be done?"

"Okay, I got it!" Li Xingyan explained a few words to Zhu Mingyue, packed up and hurried out the door. The Duke's special ship and escort fleet were already ready.

In the imperial study room, all the ministers had arrived, and the atmosphere was somewhat dignified.

Zhong Suying from above said calmly: "Okay, everyone is here now, let's start discussing! Su Qing, please explain to everyone about the situation on the Northwest Xinghai side!"

After Su Shangqing stood up and saluted, he took out a stack of documents and began to inform the ministers of the recent epidemic situation.

The actions of the Bojiang people still had a good effect. Although the top management of the empire began to pay attention to this matter and took a lot of measures, the epidemic situation has not been effectively controlled. It was less than a week after Yun Haoyu ordered to pay attention to this matter. In addition to the three provinces in China, sporadic cases of infection have also been found in several surrounding provinces!

"According to the sampling analysis by experts from the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the newly emerged virus is a mutated species that has never been seen before," he said grimly, "Its toxicity is not very severe, and it is not even comparable to the original species, but its Infectiousness is about six times higher than the former, and it is extremely difficult to crack!"

"How long will it take before we have an effective vaccine?" Gurungs asked.

Tian Song, who was invited to attend the meeting, got up and replied: "According to our investigation results, the source of this virus should be some kind of rare plant in the Bojiang Empire. Since we have no finished product for research, with the existing means, we need to develop An effective vaccine will take at least a year or so!"

The faces of all the ministers were a bit ugly, one year was too long, enough for many things to happen!Even if there are no new variants from the Bojiang people, the current few viruses are enough for the human world to suffer!

"Tian Qing, can't this time be brought forward? If it is under the premise that the empire will increase research resources at any cost?" Zhong Suying asked.

"Your Highness, if all the resources are in place, then this time can be shortened by about one-third, but any less will not be enough!" Tian Song replied.

Yun Tianyu frowned and asked: "Why did the virus spread so fast? Could it be that the blockade and isolation measures that the empire has implemented are not in place? What is the problem?"

Su Shangqing said: "The current blockade is mainly aimed at civilians, but for all kinds of spaceships marked by government departments, as long as there is a release order issued by the local government, the fleet that blocks the wormhole will release it, so...the matter has evolved into the way it is now."

"Of course, the staff of the Ministry of Security have found a lot of clues, all about the recent meeting of those unsatisfied local officials with some unknown forces. After a while, their identities and origins can be determined It's..."

"It's this time, why bother?" Zhong Yanying said coldly, "I can authorize you to take down all the suspects regardless of whether there is enough evidence, and then talk about other things slowly." Investigate! The top officials of the Bojiang Empire said that this matter has nothing to do with them, and they can only deceive ghosts!"

"Maybe it's time for us to dispatch the fleet of the Frontier Military District to launch a large-scale attack on the neighboring star fields of the Bojiang Empire! Hmph, if you don't give them some color, you really think that the Starlight Empire is weak and can be bullied! What do you think? ?”

Gu Longsi said calmly: "The old minister agrees with His Highness's opinion. This group of aliens who don't know how to live or die should be taught a lesson to them."

Crassus thought for a while, and echoed: "I have no objection!"

The ministers expressed their opinions one by one, and almost all agreed to send troops, so Zhong Xingying ordered the results of the meeting to be sent to the emperor's camp still in the Scria star field. As long as Yun Haoyu did not object, this matter could be implemented.

At this time, a nervous and high-status palace guard general came out from behind the screen and winked at Zhong Suying.

The imperial concubine glanced at her, and found that it was an old person beside her, so she announced calmly: "For the remaining matters, Zhu Qing, let's discuss the rules first! I will leave for a while!"

A moment later, in the side hall, a surprised voice sounded: "What did you say? Yun Qixuan went to the cold palace without authorization?"
