Movie star Bai Yu was captured by the military, an event that caused a great sensation on the main planet.

The Duke Bai, accompanied by his daughter Bai Nanxi, tremblingly went to the Imperial Palace.

He requested an audience specifically with His Majesty Gu Zilan, hoping he could plead for his son, Bai Yu.

Although the Bai Family no longer involved itself with the affairs of governance, they still had familial ties with His Majesty Gu Zilan.

The biological mother of Gu Zilan was indeed a collateral relative of the Bai Family.

Duke Bai, tearfully speaking, said, "Our Bai Family has always stayed out of political affairs. Xiao Yu is just an actor, his life is about acting and singing, how could he possibly get involved with the Star Thief?"

"There must be some misunderstanding here!"

"Your Majesty, please consider the dwindling population of our Bai Family and help me negotiate with Commander Gu. Xiao Yu is such an honest child; he would never collude with the Star Thief."

Gu Zilan almost yawned as he listened, a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

The lack of prosperity in your family line is your own issue, not marrying properly, all of you behaving like Neptunes.

What does it have to do with the Empire!

But Gu Zilan maintained his imperial dignity, clearing his throat and saying, "This case is being handled directly by the military. Uncle, I’m also powerless to intervene. If Bai Yu is indeed innocent, my little uncle will definitely not wrong him."

Great, that’s as good as saying nothing!

Yet His Majesty, while speaking these words, did so with a smile, his attitude extremely cordial.

This left the Duke Bai with no way to press on and exploit his seniority!

Bai Nanxi looked at the handsome man seated on the throne, her eyes filled with resentment.

If it weren’t for Luo Manya that woman emerging out of nowhere, the one sitting as Empress now should have been her, Bai Nanxi!

Gu Zilan was Bai Nanxi’s distant cousin, and it was only after failing to pursue Gu Zilan that she embarked on a life of gaming.

Of course, that was what she thought.

So at that moment, as she looked towards the mature and steady handsome man, the charm he exuded in every movement seemed even more potent than in his youth!

Her heart grew even more sour!

Why do all the good men end up being someone else’s husband!

The Duke Bai pleaded for a while, to no avail.

He quickly gave his daughter a meaningful glance.

However, Bai Nanxi did not catch her father’s eye; instead, she addressed Gu Zilan, "Your Majesty, does the Empress have time now? I haven’t seen her for a long time and would like to chat."

Gu Zilan: "This, I’m not quite sure."

Bai Nanxi: "I recently met someone I like and want to consult a close girlfriend for advice. The Empress and I were very good friends in school, and now there’s no one else around to discuss this matter with me."

The Duke Bai stood beside her, dumbfounded.

Weren’t they here to plead for Xiao Yu?

What was Nanxi up to? Didn’t she always have someone she liked, never without a suitor?

Gu Zilan observed Bai Nanxi’s serious face and thought for a moment before saying, "I’ll ask first what the Empress is doing."

"Okay."

Gu Zilan still remembered that the Empress wasn’t too fond of his cousin in the past.

But after he sent the message to the Empress, she surprisingly agreed to meet with Bai Nanxi?

Gu Zilan: "Cousin, Manya is currently in the garden having tea. She’s free now, you can go to her."

"Yes."

The Duke Bai had no choice but to bid farewell and leave first.

After all, it wasn’t quite appropriate for him to tag along to see the Empress!

But as he was leaving, Duke Bai whispered a reproach to his daughter: "Weren’t we here to beg for Xiao Yu’s sake? Why suddenly ask to see the Empress! And what man have you fallen for now?"

Bai Nanxi: "Didn’t you see that His Majesty doesn’t want to deal with this matter? So I decided to find another way and try through the Empress instead."

At that moment, the Duke Bai suddenly realized.

He nodded and said, "Yeah, Nanxi always has a way. Now, we’re counting on you to deal with Xiao Yu’s issue!"

After her father left, Bai Nanxi sneered.

Bai Yu had brought his own downfall by colluding with a Star Thief.

Besides breaking out of prison, she really had no other means to get someone out!

Of course, she didn’t have the ability to break someone out of prison either!

When Bai Nanxi, led by a servant officer in the Imperial Palace, arrived at the garden,

she saw Queen Luo Manya chatting with her daughter and someone else.

The other person was holding an adorable baby with wolf ears.

The woman looked very young, and most importantly, she was incredibly beautiful, with features as if they had hooks.

Even Bai Nanxi couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her.

Bai Nanxi quickly recognized that this was the woman she had seen at the wedding.

The wife of Commander Gu, the heiress of the Su Family’s restaurant, Su Wan!

The child in her arms was naturally the son of Commander Gu, a naturally born Super S-class Beastman!

Looking at the two women and two children in front of her, Bai Nanxi was filled with jealousy!

Why could others meet good men and then live so happily pampered by them!

Why did she always meet useless men!

Watching Bai Nanxi, who had made an effort to look exquisitely made-up, approach from a distance,

Manya said in a low voice, "Little auntie, the person you wanted to see has arrived."

Su Wan also whispered, "You don’t like her?"

Little Ruanruan, who was eating a small cake beside them, crisply said, "Because this auntie once pursued my father, His Majesty."

The little girl took another big bite of cake and added, "And she almost succeeded too."

Manya always smiled gently, while Su Wan was utterly shocked!

She had seen how Bai Nanxi chased after men.

After all, that woman was ruthless in pursuit, even going after men she had never met before!

At this time, Bai Nanxi had already approached, and, though very unwilling, she still paid her respects to both women.

One was the Empress, and the other the wife of Commander Gu; these statuses firmly placed Bai Nanxi below them!

Bai Nanxi was also a dazzling beauty, and as Su Wan watched her, she felt it was a pity.

Such a beautiful person, why wouldn’t she earnestly love someone she should?

Instead, she loved wildly and chased after each one.

Manya smiled and had a servant bring over a chair for Bai Nanxi to sit down.

Bai Nanxi looked at the small desserts on the table and made polite conversation.

"Your Majesty the Queen, it seems the chefs of your Imperial Palace have improved their skills again, this cake looks delicious."

Su Wan commented from the side, "I made this cake."

Bai Nanxi: "...I’m sorry, Mrs. Commander, I didn’t mean anything by it."

Su Wan: "Mmm, I know. But since I didn’t make a lot, and Little Ruanruan really likes it, I can’t let you try it."

The smile on Bai Nanxi’s face stiffened.

She said, "It’s fine, it’s fine, I’m on a diet recently anyway."

Little Ruanruan immediately said to her mother, Luo Manya, "Mother, the auntie is saying you’re fat!"

Because Luo Manya had eaten quite a few pieces already.

Manya looked at Bai Nanxi with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile; this time, Bai Nanxi could feel the cold sweat starting to form on her forehead!
