Chapter 515: Chapter 515

Ji You asked this question, merely murmuring to herself, not expecting an answer.

Lin Lele suddenly said: "Don’t you watch any international news at all?"

Ji You tilted her head: "Huh?"

What does this have to do with international news?

Lin Lele’s mouth twitched slightly, somewhat speechlessly saying: "You’ve seen the news from the neighboring Empire, right?" Get full chapters from NoveI(F)ire.net

Ji You blinked: "Huh?"

Lin Lele, with an incredulous face, said: "You’ve seen the recent news from the neighboring Empire, right? That person just now, was the deposed crown prince."

Ji You, shaking, asked in disbelief: "You... you’re joking, right?"

Lin Lele humphed lightly, with a touch of disdain: "Joking with you? Am I that close to you?"

Ji You took a deep breath and said: "Indeed we’re not close. But!!! Can you not blurt out something so frightening all of a sudden, please?"

Lin Lele raised an eyebrow: "That frightening?"

Ji You nodded vigorously: "A bit."

Lin Lele suddenly crossed her arms, her tone disdainful: "A country bumpkin who’s never seen the world."

She immediately turned her back, no longer paying any attention to Ji You.

Ji You, still blinking, was somewhat bewildered: "That Fu Feng just now, was he really the deposed crown prince from next door?"

Lin Lele, with her back to Ji You, clearly didn’t want to answer such a foolish question, and even quickened her pace to clean the white rabbit shed!

Ji You didn’t care if Lin Lele wanted to talk to her or not, she opened her mouth, clicking her tongue: "How did the deposed crown prince from next door end up in our Alliance? That’s a bit strange. Was he, perhaps, kicked out into the street?"

Ji You continued clicking her tongue: "What a pitiful crown prince, unemployed, kicked out onto the street, and... and treated like a kicked around ball despised by everyone..." Now that she understood his identity, Ji You also began to understand why Teacher Mu Jianling and Aunt Zhang had been passing the buck.

The title of deposed crown prince was a hot potato.

And a deposed crown prince from a neighboring country was even hotter to handle.

Who wouldn’t want to throw that away?

Though deposed and unemployed, he was still the Emperor’s son, one shake of his stature, and he could cause rivers of blood... Ah spit! It’s not that exaggerated, but his father is the Emperor, and despite being unemployed, he still holds the noble title of Prince...

Besides, since he is the deposed crown prince from a neighboring country, if mishandled, it might become a huge issue that jeopardizes the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

No wonder Teacher Mu Jianling and Aunt Zhang did not want to take responsibility.

Whoever held the deposed crown prince had to serve him well, protect him; otherwise, if anything happened to him on Alliance territory, the one who ends up unlucky is certainly the unwilling recipient...

Teacher Mu Jianling really has it tough.

Of course, being implicated by the deposed Crown Prince, this great Buddha, my own situation is also truly miserable...

Thinking about the extra month of cleaning duty in the rabbit shed I inexplicably received as a punishment, Ji You couldn’t help but struggle to find it amusing: "This deposed Crown Prince is really a curse! What’s he doing coming to our school?"

"Living in his grand Prince Mansion, bearing the title of Prince, served by crowds of Palace Maids... isn’t that cozy for him?"

"Why come to our little place to nest?"

Bent over, sweeping with a broom, pinching her nose, Lin Lele, upon hearing this, couldn’t hold back any longer, and said: "Don’t you watch the news, or at least understand the international situation at all? The deposed Crown Prince’s mother, Empress Xia Man, is from our Alliance’s Lanyue Star, and the Crown Prince’s maternal family is the local noble Xia Family of Lanyue Star. Get it now? Back then, the relationship between the Alliance and the Empire was tense, on the brink of war; if it weren’t for the presence of Empress Xia Man, it’s possible the two sides would have gone to war long ago. It was precisely because of Empress Xia Man that an internal war among humans was avoided, as well as the sacrifice of countless innocent people and warriors."

When Lin Lele said this, her tone was imbued with sincere admiration. Then, suddenly changing the subject, she glared fiercely at Ji You and said, "And one more thing! The Galaxy Empire doesn’t have the inhumane profession of eunuchs! Don’t flaunt your filth as ignorance."

Ji You opened her mouth, "I just said it without thinking. No other implications..."

Lin Lele looked genuinely shocked by Ji You and also suppressed by her own forcefulness. For a moment, she got a bit carried away, and her box of words opened up, saying: "Empress Xia Man and the Emperor of the Empire were truly in love when they got married, and it was because of her that the relationship between the Alliance and the Empire softened. Unfortunately, Empress Xia Man died young, otherwise... the relationship between the Alliance and the Empire would not have become tense again..."

She really didn’t know.

Just surviving with difficulty, improving her strength, to ensure her own survival in the possible imminent Beast Tide, and to protect her friends and family... she was already busy enough, she really didn’t have the time for gossip.

Besides, Xiao You clearly wasn’t the type to gossip; regarding these matters, perhaps Xiao You didn’t care at all, which is why Ji You didn’t know from Xiao You’s memories.

Moreover, how does listening to the gossip of the Galaxy Empire’s Royal Family always feel like a huge pot of melodrama?

Empress Xia Man and the Emperor were truly in love, so Empress Xia Man died young?

The Emperor remarried the new Empress as soon as she passed away?

And, the new Empress gave birth to the Second Prince within just a few months?

The age difference between the Second Prince and the deposed Crown Prince Fu Feng isn’t much either.

Ji You didn’t dare to think any further. If she did, she could write a melodramatic court drama of several million words by herself.

Lin Lele spoke with admiration and reverence: "Empress Xia Man is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding figures of our time, and also the most beautiful. When I was a child, my mother took me to visit the Empire, and we even toured Empress Xia Man’s other palace. There, I saw many of Empress Xia Man’s daily holographic images, really, really, she was very beautiful! Even without fancy attire or makeup, she was hundreds of times more beautiful than the current Queen."

Ji You kept silent, mainly because she had never seen a photo of Empress Xia Man and had no idea how attractive she really was.

Lin Lele grew more and more excited and couldn’t care less that her audience was Ji You, whom she detested. She continued: "Speaking of which, Prince Ji has features very similar to Empress Xia Man. When I first saw him, I was shocked and thought I saw wrong."

Ji You: "He is... somewhat handsome."

Just this Fu Feng, always seems a bit bad!

What grudge do I hold against him? Why is he framing me for a punishment, aaah?

Ji You couldn’t believe that even if Fu Feng didn’t mention her, just by saying he chose Lanyue Star Military Academy, teachers like Mu Jianling and the school administration couldn’t refuse him.

Why bother to wrong me?
