The empress instantly understood that Mingyu was asking about Sherlock's safety, these days, Mingyu talked the most about her sister, this little sister with an obvious sister complex made the empress think of Lei Luo's safety, so she also asked: "How is the situation of the independent group?" ”

The Minister of the Interior said: "I heard that the reason why this attack was successful, the head of the Royal Independent Reserve Regiment Lei Luo was the first to take the lead, but he is afraid that he is still lying in the hospital at the moment, and I don't know the specific situation!" ”

"What?" The empress lost her voice and said, "Didn't he be allowed to go to the main front!" ”

And Mingyu was even more panicked: "Lei Luo is seriously injured, what about my sister, what about my sister!" ”

The Minister of Internal Counsel was speechless, so he had no choice but to bow down and say: "Your Majesty, I just came to report after hearing the news of the great victory, but the specific matter is not known to me, and it is estimated that Your Majesty will have to wait for the detailed battle report on the front line!" ”

"Go down!" The Empress said, and then dialed: "Give me the communication of Marshal Kuiba!" ”

It took two minutes for the projection of Marshal Kuiba to appear in front of the empress. To the Empress's surprise, Kuiba was also lying on the hospital bed with bandages on his body, but he was too big, and the bed was a little cramped even though it was specially made.

"Your Majesty!" Quibal was a little weak and wanted to sit up and salute.

"Aiqing excuse me, who injured you so badly?" The Empress couldn't help but ask.

Kuiba laughed twice and said: "I met a master this time, although it is only a fifth-level armor, but this guy definitely belongs to the master of the masters, I believe that if it weren't for the injection of medicine to limit his advancement, this guy is likely to be a sixth-level warrior!" ”

"What!" The empress exclaimed: "The Hemingway family actually has such a master! ”

Kuiba said proudly: "Your Majesty don't worry, in the end, that guy was killed by me, I believe there is no big problem!" ”

The Empress originally wanted to accuse Kuiba of why she wanted to let Lei Luo go to the front, but now that Kuiba himself was seriously injured, she didn't know whether to ask for a while, because it was too inappropriate at this time!

At this time, it was Mingyu who opened her mouth for her: "Uncle Kuiba, you and I have met, I want to know if my sister is injured?" ”

"Who is your sister?"

"Sherlock Cole!"

"Oh, it's that staff officer under Lei Luo, right?"

"yes, yes, how is she?"

"She's fine!" Quibal said, "She doesn't need to go directly to the battlefield in hand-to-hand combat, so it's usually fine, but Lei Luo"

The empress's heart immediately became nervous, and she was about to listen to the following, but when she saw Kuiba, she apologized again: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty! ”

Empress: "Aiqing's victory this time, what a crime!" ”

Kuiba said: "Your Majesty did not listen to His Majesty's admonition, and under Lei Luo's several pleas, he was allowed to act!" ”

Empress: "What action?" ”

Kuiba: "The reason why this great victory was successful was also because Lei Luo boldly adopted a new tactic to destroy the opponent's lethal long-range weapon particle beam cannon in one go, otherwise our fleet would not be able to get close to the Blue Whale Star at all." Later, he even relied on his own strength to lead away the pursuers, delaying the effective defense time of the base troops! ”

"So, what's wrong with you, it's clear that I'm wrong!" The Empress said lukewarmly.

Kuiba didn't answer, but said: "When I heard a report before, half of the body of the guide Lei Luo was almost melted by the cannon, but fortunately, he was rescued when he was found. Your Majesty's meaning, Your Majesty, Lei Luo's loyalty to you can be seen by the sun and the moon, and a warrior who dares to bet with his life will definitely not be a member of the Hemingway family! ”

"I know." The Empress replied, "I know, I didn't say that he took refuge in the Hemingway family, I just think. He wasn't faithful enough, at least not to the extent I had hoped! ”

Quibal was stunned when he heard this, he finally knew why the Empress deliberately wanted to exclude Lei Luo, not that he was not a spy, but that he was possessive. Lelo's kid, alas, the tighter you push the Empress, the farther he'll run!

After the empress was silent for a while, she suddenly came back to her senses and said, "You continue to work hard, and when you return to the imperial capital, I will at least give you a third-class earl!" ”

Gong, Hou, Uncle, Son, Male plus a Lord, it is a great honor to give a third-class earl, Kuiba was secretly happy, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely lead the troops to take down the entire Giant Whale System in one go!" ”

"I also want to kill all the remnants of the Hemingway family, and let the people of the Whale Galaxy know that my Titans are the real rulers!" The Empress is mighty.

"Your Majesty, isn't it too brutal to kill them all," Kuibal hesitated.

The corner of the empress's mouth showed a sneer: "Just send them to the local people to deal with, firstly, the people will be angry, and secondly, it will also be good for us!" ”

"Yes!" Quibal then added, "The captives"

"This is a matter for your military department, I have no right to intervene, you can watch it, as long as there is no chaos!"

"Your Majesty understands!" Quibal said, and the communication was over by this point.

At the end of the communication, the empress looked at Mingyu beside her and said, "Your sister is fine, are you relieved?" ”

Mingyu nodded. The empress then said on a whim: "Mingyu, let me ask you, your sister saved you and took care of you, so it is normal for you to always want to repay her; But I'm not bad for you, have you ever thought about how to repay me? ”

Mingyu looked at the empress's hopeful expression, and her heart was alert, she knew that if she didn't answer this question well, she was afraid that she would only be estranged from the empress. She could see that the Empress's attitude towards Lei Luo already showed what kind of personality she was.

Once the Empress is suspicious of you, and she is convinced of it, it will be very difficult for you to gain her trust. The clever Mingyu has her own set of views on right and wrong, and in her opinion, this answer must seem both true and very selfish, otherwise the empress will inevitably be suspicious.

So she shook her head and said, "It's different, Your Majesty, you and your sister are different!" ”

The empress smiled: "It's different, what's different?" ”

Mingyu said: "My feelings for my sister are not only repayment, but also attachment to relatives and love for my sister, but I don't want these for Your Majesty!" ”

The Empress's smile froze, and then murderous intent began to rise in her heart. At this time, Mingyu said again: "Your Majesty only wants Mingyu's loyalty, not Mingyu's feelings, for Your Majesty, Mingyu is loyal enough; And for Mingyu, being loyal enough to the empress and doing his best to complete the orders given by His Majesty is the best reward for Mingyu! ”

Laughing, the empress smiled happily, she nodded and appreciated: "Very smart answer, I like it very much, I really didn't expect Mingyu to be so smart at a young age, and it will definitely be bad in the future!" ”

Mingyu said: "A wise emperor should not be afraid that her subordinates are powerful and powerful, but should be good at controlling these smart and capable people and know how to gain their loyalty!" ”

The empress's eyes narrowed: "Then tell me how your loyalty is manifested?" ”

Mingyu thought for a while and said, "As long as Your Majesty won't hurt my sister, I will always be loyal!" ”

The Empress was silent again, and after a long time, she said, "In other words, as long as I make your sister live well and safely, you will always do your best to help me?" ”

Mingyu said: "I know what my reverse scale is, it is my sister, whoever hurts my sister is my enemy!" ”

The Empress said, "I see, you want to put your sister's safety in my hands as a way to show your loyalty to me!" ”

Mingyu nodded.

The empress looked at her and smiled: "You are really smart, go down first!" ”

Mingyu snorted, pushed open the office door, then glanced back at the pensive empress, and gently closed the door.

After Mingyu left, the empress muttered to herself: "Lei Luo, Mingyu put her loyalty on the table, which is reflected in my attitude towards her sister, what about you?" You have said several times that you are loyal, but where is the key to your loyalty, why can't I always feel it, why can't I feel it? ”

The Empress and Lei Luo may have never had the same concept of loyalty, so she never felt that Lei Luo was loyal enough to her. And Kuiba, who is also a man and a lonely man, knows why Lei Luo makes the empress so ambivalent.

Lei Luo is not a patriot in nature, and it can be seen from his words and deeds that he is not a person who will be bound by the laws and rules of the country, but a man with his own set of ideas and principles.

If the interests of the country do not harm his interests and principles, he will be very patriotic, because to love the country is to love himself. But what if the national interest hurts his interests and principles? He may become a little man who is disgusted with the Empire, or even become one

That word Kuiba didn't want to say, he knew that Lei Luo was not a person who liked to choose, but the empress was a person who liked to force people to make choices! This is not only seen by Kuiba, but also by the immature Mingyu.

Lei Luo and Mingyu are both orphans, and Mingyu was darker than Lei Luo in childhood, but the two do have a lot in common. For example, sensitivity, they can instinctively sense whether the person is friendly or hostile to you; For example, the psychology of defense, as long as this person has the slightest trace to show his hypocrisy, the two of them will be like an invisible hedgehog with thorns on their bodies.

But the two are also fundamentally different, which will shape two completely different people. Lei Luo is a stubborn, upright man, he sticks to his principles, and he will not compromise easily, even if his compromise is only temporary, he will stand up like a hero and resist again when he has the opportunity.

Mingyu, on the other hand, is the one who uses her talent to do what she likes, she can clearly feel the empress's preferences, and then do what she likes, showing that she is very loyal and sincere. Just like the answer just now, she knew that the Empress would like such an answer, so she said so. All her faithfulness is premised on her sister. It doesn't matter if you're good to me or not, as long as you're good to my sister, I'll always listen to you!
