Leaning against the luxurious throne, the Queen took a sip of her red wine and looked at Yu Xiao not far away: "You're really something."
Yu smiled politely and said modestly, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."
The Queen's face was full of satisfaction. She instructed her attendant to hand the box on the table to Yu Xiao: "Aren't you about to take the entrance exam for the Nave Military Academy?"
"I'll give you a month's worth first. After a month, report to me on your progress at the military academy, and then I'll give you a new one."
"good……"
Yu Xiao gratefully accepted the box, then politely bowed to the Queen. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the Queen continue speaking.
“Prince Xu’s son has also applied to the Nawei Military Academy, and there’s a good chance he’ll be taking the exam with you.” The woman’s voice was gentle. “I think you know what to do.”
Yu Xiao paused for a moment, then replied, "I understand without Your Majesty's reminder."
As Yu Xiao left the council hall, she fiddled with the medicine box in her hand, her smile growing wider.
This woman is using him, and she's using him quite skillfully.
However, this was exactly what he wanted.
The poison injected into his body was, to put it bluntly, designed to make his blood and cells morbidly thirsty, just like a drug addiction.
If medication is not taken regularly, the person will experience unbearable itching all over their body, leading to confusion, frantic scratching, and ultimately, self-harm and death.
The Queen thought she had him under control. But she didn't understand that Yu Xiao wasn't a normal person at all.
The metal in his body was not normal metal either. When the toxins entered his bloodstream, they were quickly absorbed by the metal particles and stored in a corner of his body before the infection spread to a large area.
Therefore, those poisons did not cause Yu Xiao any harm at all.
He was just putting on an act for the Queen, making her think she had something on him.
Little did she know that the boy in front of her, who had reached an agreement with her and seemed to be completely at her mercy, was actually plotting when to quietly return the poison to her, so that she would suffer the consequences of her own actions.
When Yu Xiao returned home, Yu Tang was sitting on the carpet brushing Xiao Jin's fur.
When he returned, she waved to him, handed him a comb, and asked him to help her comb her hair.
The television in the living room was still broadcasting the live stream of Prince Zhou's apology meeting.
The comments from netizens scrolled by like bullet screens, cursing this hypocritical man one by one.
Yu Tang asked Yu Xiao, "What did the Queen want to see you about in private?"
His expression remained unchanged, as if he were conducting a simple inquiry.
Yu Xiao readily replied, "His Majesty knew that I would be taking the military academy's entrance exam tomorrow, and he gave me a special pep talk."
Yu Tang put the combed-off hair into the storage bucket and continued to ask, "Anything else?"
Yu Xiao shrugged: "No..."
"Okay, I understand."
With a sigh, Yu Tang rubbed the tiger's head and whispered, "Little Jin, he still doesn't intend to tell me the truth."
The banquet was held half a month ago.
Because Yu Tang knew that Xiao Jin had the ability to track people, and that if he wanted to, he could find out what the person he was tracking was doing.
This ability wasn't very strong in the previous worlds, but in this world, it seems that because Xiao Jin has a larger physical form, the ability has also increased.
Yu Tang suspected that Yu Xiao was hiding something from him, so he asked Xiao Jin to keep a close eye on her.
So Yu Tang knew everything about Yu Xiao's conversation with the Queen.
He learned from Xiao Jin's account that Yu Xiao, in a corner where no one could see, coldly destroyed all those medicines.
This means that Yu Xiao was not actually poisoned.
Instead, they had other plans.
However, it seemed the other party didn't want to tell him about this plan.
“Host, I guess the reason he kept this from you is probably because he didn’t want you to worry.”
Xiao Jin analyzed: "He probably wants to use his power to protect you, take all the responsibility, and prevent what happened at the banquet that day from repeating itself."
Yu Tang frowned: But I...
"What's wrong, Master? Are you unhappy?" Yu Xiao noticed that Yu Tang was in a bad mood, so she reached out and poked Yu Tang's cheek, interrupting his telepathic communication with Xiao Jin, and asked him, "Did I say something wrong that made you angry?"
Yu Tang snapped out of his daze and met Yu Xiao's gaze, feeling a strange bitterness in his heart.
Just like in the previous worlds, he always tried to hide his death from the villains and die alone.
Yu Xiao, like him, wanted to do something dangerous without telling him.
This made it impossible for him to blame Yu Xiao.
“I’m not angry.” He grabbed Yu Xiao’s hand and said to him, “I like you so much, how could I be angry with you?”
After saying that, he paused for a moment and added, "But, Xiaoxiao, I hope you won't do anything foolish behind my back, okay?"
Chapter 26
Died for the seventh time for the villain (26)
Yu Xiao paused for a moment, then laughed.
The answer was: "Of course you can."
But she still didn't intend to be honest with Yu Tang. After saying that, she ran to the kitchen, using the excuse of making something delicious for Yu Tang, and then ran away.
In the dead of night, she confirmed that the man on the other side of the bed was fast asleep.
Yu Xiao pressed his fingers on the bracelet, familiarizing himself with the information about Prince Xu's son.
Prince Zhou and Prince Xu were the Queen's elder brother and younger brother, respectively.
Because these two princes were born out of wedlock, they were not eligible to inherit the throne.
They were then granted the title of prince, along with the empire's economic enterprises and planetary mineral resources, and even a small asteroid as their fiefdom.
Because these were all orders from the late emperor, the queen had no way to disobey.
Therefore, ever since these two princes became independent, they have always been regarded as thorns in the Queen's side.
Later, when the poisoning incident came to light, the Queen directly pointed the finger at the two princes.
They're just waiting to find evidence to eliminate the two princes.
This time, Yu Xiao understood her hint.
That woman wanted to cause an accident for Prince Xu's son, Xu Lanzhe, during the assessment, preferably ending up half-crippled like Zhou Nanfeng.
Only in this way can we properly curb the arrogance of these two princes.
But Yu Xiao carefully filtered through Xu Lanze's information and found that the boy was about the same age as him.
Moreover, despite being a nobleman, he was not arrogant and had no scandals.
Moreover, Xu Lanzhe's idol is Yu Tang.
People have been expressing their admiration for Yu Tang on social media for several years now.
Moreover, upon learning that Prince Zhou had actually attempted to murder his idol, he was so enraged that he immediately took a spaceship back from another planet, and had a major argument with Prince Zhou a few days ago.
He openly expressed his support for the common people and said he was ashamed to have such an uncle.
Therefore, Yu Xiao hesitated.
He was wondering whether he should still do as the Queen said.
After all, this Xu Lanzhe doesn't seem to have done anything wrong.
Thinking this, Yu Xiao turned over to face Yu Tang, reached out and gently stroked the man's face, asking in a very soft voice, "Master, do you think... Xu Lanzhe is a good person or a bad person?"
But Yu Tang was already fast asleep and couldn't answer his question, let alone give him the right guidance.
Unable to get a response, Yu Xiao's expression gradually softened from initial confusion to a soft laugh.
He muttered to himself, "I don't care if he's a good guy or a bad guy. To protect you, I don't mind killing one by mistake."
Beasts without a sense of good and evil awaken from their slumber.
If a mirror appeared opposite Yu Xiao.
That would reveal his twisted and terrifying appearance at that moment.
That smile was no longer pure; it was like it had been poisoned, chilling to the bone.
The entrance exams at Naveen Military Academy consist of three parts: a written test, a physical fitness test, and a combat test.
The written test covers twelve subjects, and the physical fitness test measures thirty-two indicators.
The most important part is the practical test, which uses real guns and ammunition for warship battles. Both sides are candidates, and their combat strength is ranked according to the order in which the warships crash.
Whoever stays until the end is the undisputed number one.
While each warship has excellent protective devices for the pilots.
However, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed for every driver.
There have been previous accidents involving plane crashes and fatalities.
Many officials have proposed reforming the testing process, changing real-world combat to virtual battles.
However, the proposal was rejected by the superintendent of Naveen Military Academy.
The old man, over sixty years old, said this: Every applicant who wants to enter the Nave Military Academy, whether noble or commoner, must approach every test with the resolve to die. Otherwise, they will be cowards on the battlefield!
Therefore, this practical test has been retained.
Yu Tang also participated in the actual combat test and achieved the best results since the establishment of Nave Military Academy.
In just a quarter of an hour, it defeated all the warships, stood alone in the sky, and became the undisputed strongest of the new generation.
Neither the written test nor the physical fitness test proved difficult for Yu Xiao, who had made ample preparations.
He submitted his exam paper early and walked out of the examination room, where he saw Yu Tang standing outside chatting with Prince Xu.
Yu Tang did not have much ill will towards Prince Xu.
After all, according to the original owner's memories, Prince Xu and Prince Zhou had a good relationship.
