You Ning had agreed to wait for An Yuanguang’s answer the next day, but An Yuanguang did not come out of Yue Feng’s bedchamber the whole day.

You Ning only saw Yue Feng and looked at him with a profoundly meaningful look. Yue Feng felt he couldn’t bear his gaze; he touched his nose and ran back to his chambers.

It was only on the third day that An Yuanguang came to see You Ning. His complexion was quite good, so Yue Feng must have taken care of him and let him rest for an extra day.

An Yuanguang was one who could hide his sadness but not his joy. He sat beside You Ning with a silly smile on his lips, and the sweetness in his eyes not hidden. He told You Ning that Yue Feng said they didn’t need children and that it was enough for him to raise An Yuanguang alone.

He said this shyly, even more shyly than when You Ning had brought up the topic so one could imagine how sweet and happy he was when he heard Yue Feng say that.

Yue Feng and Su Fu said similar things, but An Yuanguang’s reaction was much different to You Ning’s. The immature An Yuanguang felt that he was not a baby anymore but Yue Feng was still spoiling him like a baby, so he felt both happy and embarrassed. Meanwhile, the little incubus, who was already over a hundred years old, was happy to be spoiled like a baby.

You Ning had seen An Yuanguang’s memories of his last life, and seeing his current appearance, thought of the time he was with Joyce in his last life. That kind of thing was painful for humans the first time, moreover, An Yuanguang didn’t have the best health.

Although he acted happy the next day, it wasn’t a pure sweet happiness like this. Perhaps An Yuanguang didn’t try to stop Joyce from leaving in his last life because he slowly realised that he wasn’t really happy with him.

As for that Joyce, he approached An Yuanguang because of Yue Cheng, but was later attracted to the simple and well-behaved An Yuanguang, and really fell in love with him. Although he was used as a substitute, You Ning did not feel any pity for him– after all, it was Joyce who approached him first and with malicious intentions.

It was logical for him to break up with An Yuanguang. It’s heartbreaking to spend your life with someone who doesn’t love you because of responsibility. Love is selfish.

So when Yue Feng was reborn, he didn’t do anything to this former love rival, but of course, if he still dared to mess with An Yuanguang, then Yue Feng wouldn’t let him off easily.

Yue Cheng had a breakdown after learning the truth, and seemed less crazy after spending some time in the palace. You Ning had also noticed that his malice value towards An Yuanguang had diminished a lot, although it hadn’t gone to zero, it hadn’t reached the range value of wanting to hurt him.

All that was left was Xu Yuan.

Although Yue Feng finally killed Xu Yuan in his last life, it was not the best solution as the people questioned his actions. Even after the ambitious marshal’s crimes were later revealed, there was no shortage of speculation given the way Yue Feng had chosen to just kill him.

Moreover, Xu Jiayu was still the queen at that time, although the Empire didn’t know that it was just in name. This assassination tactic looked even more ruthless, unjustified and unclear– he did not the Marshal, who was still his father-in-law, a chance to prove himself!

People thought it was because Xu Yuan held a lot of power at the time, so great that the royal family felt threatened and Yue Feng reacted like that. His actions also chilled the hearts of many generals and soldiers.

However, Yue Feng only wanted revenge and he abdicated directly after killing his enemies, leaving the empire in a mess. As one could probably guess, it was not long after he left that the internal turmoil of the empire came to the surface.

In the previous life, Yue Feng’s heart was already dead before he chose this form of revenge. But in this life, You Ning knew that he was definitely unwilling to let Xu Yuan off so easily.

After thinking about it, You Ning had his cat publish two articles exposing Xu Yuan on the internet. The articles were written in the form of a confession from a minor character under Xu Yuan who had been forced to do bad things. While most people would say it was slanderous, there would be those who got suspicious, especially if he posted half-truths with evidence.

The interstellar network was large but heavily regulated, so under normal circumstances, articles like those wouldn’t have made it into the public eye. But You Ning was not an ordinary person after all, and he didn’t use ordinary means.

So early the next morning, the two articles became a hot debate among netizens. The situation was the same as You Ning had guessed, there were those who felt it was slanderous, those who ate melons and those who became suspicious.

Of course, Xu Yuan’s political image had been well established, and the battles he had participated in had indeed saved many people of the empire, so even though some people were suspicious, they did not dare to say so outright. In this way, it looked like most people were scolding those who had slandered the hero of the Empire.

This was reported to Xu Yuan, but he didn’t care too much. After all, this kind of article was not a threat to him, and the people would defend him without him having to do anything. It was just a case of some people who didn’t like him and wanted to get on his nerves. But he had to show an attitude, and immediately had a lawyer’s letter posted on Star Online against the author of the articles.

The netizens followed his rainbow farts, and started scolding the author. Xu Yuan didn’t bother to read these, he generally doesn’t have the time or inclination to do so.

He had to go into the palace today. Yue Feng had put Yue Cheng under house arrest, and it made sense for him, the marshal, to go in and give advise when he noticed something was wrong.

With Yue Feng’s current strength, to take on him would simply be hitting a stone on an egg. He was not worried that Yue Feng would tear him apart– he actually wanted to see how Yue Feng would gnash his teeth at him but had to respect him.

Compared to that, this little storm on the internet was really boring.

He soon arrived at the palace and met Yue Feng. Perhaps it was because it had been two months since the incident, instead of the extreme anger he had when he first stormed into his residence, Yue Feng felt very calm when they met.

Xu Yuan rubbed his hands against the tiger’s mouth and found it interesting.

At this moment, Yue Feng was practising his mecha in a spacious training ground in the palace, the mecha was light and very flexible, hence its small size. Yue Feng didn’t take it off, and only showed his face as he maneuvered it, so he looked condescending, and his tone of voice was also condescending: “What is it, Marshal?”

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, displeased with Yue Feng’s attitude, but after thinking about it, thought the prince was just trying to show off to save face. He decided to ignore it and even felt like laughing a little.

“Your Highness, why haven’t I seen Your Highness lately? I heard that His Highness has not been out of the palace for two months.” He bowed his head slightly, giving face to Yue Feng, the Crown Prince, but after saying that, he slowly raised his head again, looking at Yue Feng with a teasing look in his eyes.

Yue Feng did not get angry as he expected and his expression remained calm. He started to take off his mecha as he spoke, “He is sick and has gone to the laboratory Su Feng opened for treatment.”

Xu Yuan didn’t find such an excuse novel, but he was really surprised by how calm and collected Yue Feng was, and at the same time, felt vaguely excited.

He was also tired of playing with weak people, it was more interesting to play with people like Yue Feng who were a bit more difficult.

He didn’t ask Yue Cheng anything more, and even if he did, it was unlikely that Yue Feng would tell him. Then, based on his experience, started to give Yue Feng a few pointers on how to fight with a mecha better.

Yue Feng looked at Xu Yuan’s back as he left and sneered. He hadn’t actually lied, Yue Cheng was indeed in Su Feng’s lab today, undergoing a dangerous surgery.

The technique of this surgery was mature, but the risk factor was relatively high. However, it was not that Yue Feng had forced Yue Cheng to do it, but that Yue Cheng himself had suggested it.

He said he didn’t want to be an Omega, he wanted to be a Beta.

He felt he always a hidden danger as long as he remained marked, and he really didn’t want to be an Omega anymore. So he approached Su Feng not long ago, even if the operation was a bit dangerous.

Yue Feng agreed, and he signed his name in the family section of the operation book.

Xu Yuan’s people didn’t discover all this, something that would have been impossible without You Ning’s intervention.

Due to Yue Feng’s reaction, Xu Yuan was in an inexplicably good mood when he got back, and then someone came to report that they couldn’t find the author of the articles.

Xu Yuan was a bit displeased, he waved his hand and told his men to get lost, a little thing like that wasn’t worth bringing to him.

The man wanted to say something else, but Xu Yuan gave him a look and he didn’t dare to open his mouth again. What the man didn’t say was that they couldn’t delete the articles on Star Online, and they couldn’t find a single web address for the ID of the article, not even a fake one. It was as if they came out of thin air.

What was even weirder was that within a few days, the man posted another article, still an accusation against Xu Yuan. But this time, it was with a piece of evidence and even an audio clip, this carried a lot of weight compared to the previously posted articles.

However, there were still many netizens who believed their marshal and felt that this person must have an enmity with the marshal to slander him so much. But this man is also strange, there were so many cursing him and raising questions below his post but he did not reply to any of them.

So, a few days later, another article was sent out, again with different allegations and evidence. The evidence got stronger with each post, and the netizens who were firm at first started to waver.

Some people wondered, the marshal did not suppress this person and his remarks are still hanging and not deleted, was the marshal body unafraid?

But the marshal certainly was not. Xu Yuan didn’t take it seriously at first, but when his people mentioned it again and again, he felt that someone was trying to make trouble, and that the opponent had found a master. No matter how much they tried to delete, the article was still there, and even the comments below would not diminish.

Xu Yuan thought of Yue Feng almost immediately. He hadn’t suspected Yue Feng at first because he thought that he had only been back for a few months, and that he couldn’t possibly have the ability to find these things, nor would he dare to go against him.

But now, he began to feel that something was very wrong.

Xu Yuan’s premonition was indeed indeed correct. Just as public opinion was turning against him because of those things on the internet, a man suddenly popped up, saying that everything in the articles was true.

This man was Admiral Su Fu, who was also highly respected in the Empire.

The nation was in uproar. Reporters rushed over to interview Su Fu, but they could not find him. On the other hand, Xu Yuan was angry and he laughed bitterly, so it was this brat who had been on the battlefield for a few years, he really thought he was the best?

Before the day was over, Xu Yuan sued Su Fu to the First Imperial Court.

However, what happened afterwards was completely out of Xu Yuan’s expectation and control.

He sued Su Fu, who in turn sued him. There were so many charges that the hearts of the entire empire trembled, the highest charge being the murder of His Imperial Majesty, followed by conspiracy to commit treason.

If this sentence really came down… the people didn’t dare to think further.

At first, Xu Yuan did not put Su Fu in his eyes, he thought that even if Su Fu had made some moves he failed to notice, it wouldn’t hold much water. Perhaps Su Fu became impatient and he jumped out, not knowing he was seeking death.

But he was wrong. The First Court was a place where even the emperor could be tried, let alone Xu Yuan, a Marshal. Moreover, the people there were all oil and salt, and very fair.

Because the people on trial were high-ranking imperial officials, the court broadcast the trial directly to the people of the nation so as to ensure fairness and impartiality.

Thus, with each trial, the nation was presented with all kinds of evidence against their hero, Marshal Xu Yuan. The evidence was ironclad and the nation was in an uproar.

It was all rather dumbfounding for the nation, and equally so for Xu Jiayu. Although he knew that his father had been somewhat unimpressed with the Imperial family in recent years, he didn’t know that he had actually done so much. Ever since he discovered that the Omega beside Yue Feng was a fool, he had put a lot of thought into stealing Yue Feng’s attention, not realising that……

Xu Jiayu felt embarrassed to the core, and at the same time very worried about the current situation of his family. As more and more evidence came in, his father’s argument had changed from the strong rebuttal at the beginning, to weak arguments, and Xu Jiayu had a vague feeling of foreboding.

Given his father’s character and his attitude in recent years, his father was most likely…

The trial lasted for a month before the First Court finally reached its verdict. But before the verdict was handed down, the people of the Empire got news that their marshal had defected.

The nation’s anger, disappointment and bewilderment were followed by worry and fear. No one who was used to living in peace wanted to face war.

Yue Feng certainly did not want to go to war either. But now that Xu Yuan’s crimes were known to the world, he could finally avenge his family– he intended to kill Xu Yuan, as he had done in his previous life.

The generals who followed Xu Yuan’s defection were not necessarily fully loyal to their marshal– after all, they were men of the Empire, but their marshal had done such things. If they didn’t go, they would probably die given the marshal’s methods.

This trial came so suddenly, and so did this defection; many of the generals and soldiers who were now following Xu Yuan were in over their heads. However, there were some smart ones who had defected to the other side, and there was a group that had been lurking in Xu Yuan’s legion for a while.

Yue Feng was planning to take advantage of this moment to have the lurkers kill Xu Yuan, and then he would come with reinforcements.

This was also something he and Su Fu had discussed long ago. And Su Fu, with that team of men, was now lurking on Xu Yuan’s warship, waiting for the right moment.
