Chapter 84: Imperial Consort
In the dim room, Ye Zhile leaned against the headboard. Whenever he thought of those two corpses, he would wake up with a start, unable to fall back asleep no matter what.
In the middle of the night, there was a commotion outside. Ye Zhile got up and approached the door, only to hear the chaotic sound of gunfire. Panicking, he pounded on the door. “Open the door! Mide!”
The door was opened from the outside, and Mide entered, grabbing him by the hand. “Shut up and come with me!”
“What’s happening outside? Why is there a gunfight?” Ye Zhile struggled. “Let go! Where are you taking me!?”
“Why is there a gunfight?” Mide laughed instead of being angry, mockery in his eyes. “Because your ex-husband… has come to play the hero saving the beauty.”
After saying that, Mide gave another cold snort. “He’s dreaming. Aren’t you two divorced? Why is he still saving you? You might as well come back to Rhea Star with me and be my Imperial Consort.”
“Madman!” Ye Zhile tried desperately to pry his hand away, but Mide caught both of his hands with one of his own. He covered Ye Zhile’s mouth with the other and kidnapped him.
The soldiers escorted Mide as they left. The group quickly got off the ship when suddenly, a voice came from not far away.
“Zhile!”
Ji Shuohan was leading his soldiers, rushing toward them. Seeing this, Mide suddenly pushed Ye Zhile toward an opening in the ship’s side. Below it sat a speedboat. He threatened, “Try using your mental power if you dare. I’ll push him down immediately. His body probably can’t handle falling into the water, right?”
Ye Zhile looked at Ji Shuohan with terrified eyes. Ji Shuohan stopped in his tracks, looking at Ye Zhile with heartache. “Zhile…”
Mide directly took Ye Zhile hostage and jumped onto the speedboat prepared for them. He covered Ye Zhile’s mouth and shielded himself with the youth’s body. Seeing Ji Shuohan’s anxious and helpless state, he was in an excellent mood. He mocked, “Ji Shuohan, don’t you think you’re being pathetic? You didn’t cherish him when he was by your side, and now you want to perform this kind of melodrama. You’re already divorced; why are you still saving him?”
Ji Shuohan stood on the ship, the soldiers beside him all raising their guns and aiming at Mide. He stared fixedly at Ye Zhile, and seeing the disappointment and sadness in the youth’s eyes, he felt as if a knife were twisting in his heart.
Feeling the moisture on his hand, Mide looked down and saw the youth’s trembling, wet eyelashes. He said, “What are you crying for? Is it worth it for a heartless man?”
“Ji Shuohan, since you’re already divorced, he will be my Imperial Consort from now on.” Mide laughed. “Don’t worry, I will definitely treat him well. I won’t be like you.”
With that, the speedboat shot out like an arrow.
“My Lord.” The commander requested instructions. Ji Shuohan said coldly, “Do not fire. Let them leave.”
“My Lord!” A soldier came running over hurriedly, a small child in his arms. “We found a child while searching the rooms.”
“Dudu?” Ji Shuohan reached out to take Dudu. Likely due to fright, Dudu was crying until his face was flush red, his voice already hoarse. Ji Shuohan felt incredibly guilty. “Find a doctor to check him immediately. Also, search every corner of the cruise ship thoroughly. Save the people.”
“Have the commanders of the First to the Twentieth Legions contact me immediately!”
“Yes!”
The sea breeze in the middle of the night made people shiver. Six or seven speedboats were traveling across the sea. Mide was about to let go of the person in his arms, but he felt him sliding down limply. He quickly caught him and saw that Ye Zhile had fainted at some point.
“Hey!” Mide patted his face and felt a wave of coldness. “Crap! Hurry back and call a doctor!”
They took an interstellar cabin through space and finally arrived at Rhea Star. At this moment, a huge stir was created within the Rhea Star Imperial Palace. Second Prince Mide had actually brought back a citizen of the Empire! And she was the ex-wife of the Empire’s Supreme Leader!?
“Ayelu! You’d better treat him well!” Mide stood with his hands on his hips, warning Ayelu. “This is the future Imperial Consort! If you can’t cure him, I’ll have your head!”
Ayelu was covered in cold sweat. He said, “Second Highness, this Master Ye just has a weak constitution. He fainted due to the shock and the cold wind. It’s nothing serious.”
“Then why hasn’t he woken up yet? He’s been asleep for a whole day!” Mide was unhappy.
“Because he fainted, he didn’t just fall asleep…” Ayelu said cautiously. “Once his body relaxes, he will naturally wake up.”
“Fine.” Mide reluctantly accepted this explanation.
During the day Ye Zhile was unconscious, the servants in the Second Prince’s palace kept making excuses to come in and see him. They all wanted to see the Empire’s Leader’s Spouse—even if it was the former one.
“The looks of the Empire people and Rhea Star people are not the same at all.”
“Yeah, they look, um… gentle and refined, while we look more rugged and exquisite.”
“This Master Ye is quite good-looking.”
“Nonsense. The Second Highness said this is the future Imperial Consort. Of course he’s good-looking.”
Ye Zhile was awakened by the conversation coming from the door. He opened his eyes, feeling dizzy and aching all over. As soon as he woke up, servants immediately surrounded him.
“Master Ye, you’re awake?”
“Is Master Ye hungry? I’ll bring some food for you.”
“How old is Master Ye this year?”
Ye Zhile wrapped himself tightly in the quilt. He had spent his childhood by Wen Yumiao’s side and had learned by osmosis, so he knew this was the language of Rhea Star and could understand some of it. He asked weakly, “Where is this?”
“This is the Rhea Star Imperial Palace,” a servant said. “Master Ye was unconscious before. Our Second Highness called a doctor for you. The Second Highness is really good to you.”
“Where is he?” Ye Zhile asked.
A servant chuckled. “Master Ye is already missing our Second Highness.”
“…” Ye Zhile remained silent, his face cold.
A moment later, Mide walked in, a teasing smile on his face. “I heard you missed me?”
“That joke isn’t funny.” Ye Zhile leaned against the headboard.
Mide sat on the edge of the bed. “Who said I was joking? I’m serious. You’re my Imperial Consort now. In the future, you’ll be my Queen, above everyone but below one. Or rather, I’ll be a devoted husband, and you’ll enjoy all the power of Rhea Star.”
“Your words are utterly absurd.” Ye Zhile gave him a sidelong glance. “Either release me now, or kill me.”
“I say, why are you so stubborn!?” Mide stood with his hands on his hips, bringing his face close to Ye Zhile’s. “I’m not ugly, am I? I think I’m much better looking than that dog Ji Shuohan. He always has a cold face. And the status I’m giving you is the same as his. You were the Leader’s Spouse in the Empire, and you’ll be my Queen on Rhea Star. How wonderful is that?”
Ye Zhile didn’t want to hear his nonsense. He turned his head away, his brow furrowed. His health was poor, and his pheromones were weak. Mide’s pheromones were pressing down on him like he was being tortured. Ye Zhile’s face grew paler and paler.
“Eh?” Mide seemed to have discovered something and retracted his pheromones. “No way. You were married for two years, and he never gave you a lifetime mark? Do you know your current situation? If a random top-tier Alpha came along, you’d lose your life.”
