Chapter 22:

No matter how unwilling to face it, what should come is still coming. Not long after seeing the news, Duan Hengye received his next schedule. During the three-day memorial holiday, the marshal and his spouse will go to a planet called "Tize" in the empire. Vacation.
Although it is a "vacation", in fact this wedding anniversary trip is not a private event in the general sense. As figures on the top of the imperial power pyramid, Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye also carry political attributes that cannot be ignored.
Tezestar is the lost ground that the empire has only regained in recent years, and the two people's vacation is also the first visit by the empire's senior officials after it was recovered. Whether it's the residents of Ticestar or the citizens of other planets in the empire, everyone is looking forward to this event, and there will be media follow-ups throughout the event.
In other words, Duan Hengye not only has to interact friendly with the residents of Tizestar, but also has to show affection with Meng Jinhuai in front of all stars...
He is really not good at this!
Although the Duan family in the previous life was one of the three ancient martial arts families in China, it did not fight like the other two brothers and sisters. Such harmony is attributed to the "irresponsibility" of several other heirs represented by Duan Hengye, and the self-doubt about whether he can become a competent authority. But now, Duan Hengye, who lived until his death in his last life, has to bite the bullet and go out for business.
The southern stars where the Marshal's Mansion and the Military Headquarters are located are huge, with tens of billions of residents. As the Marshal's ruler, the festive atmosphere has been permeated here since a few days ago.
...
The black pinched waist suit outlines Duan Hengye's narrow waist very clearly, and the slightly shorter jacket fully reveals his already straight legs. Because it was the wedding anniversary, Duan Hengye wore a serpentine brooch carved from a dark red gemstone on his chest, and the same ring that he had never worn after the wedding also appeared on him again. On the ring finger.
The Yetian Empire as a whole advocates beauty, but Meng Jinhuai does not like the style that is popular today. This can be seen from the overall style of the Marshal's Mansion. Although Duan Hengye did not wear Chinese clothes like most of the spouses of high-level empires today, this simple style further highlights the aura of Duan he has been praised by countless people called "The Flower of Gaoling".
With the dark red snake pattern entrenched on the ring finger, today Professor Duan has two completely different temperaments at the same time.
At ten o'clock in the morning, an open suspension vehicle flew out of the marshal's mansion. In an instant, the people who had been waiting outside the Marshal’s Mansion for a whole day erupted with deafening cheers—according to the tradition of the Ye Tian Empire, the star jurisdiction must first be under their jurisdiction before visiting other planets. The star cruises on a lap.
There are many planets in the Yetian Empire, which is different from the rulers of the other planets who go out and wander around in three days. This is the first time that Meng Jinhuai, who is busy with military affairs, has conducted such activities.
...It's terrible! Due to the fact that the open suspension vehicle is not soundproof, Duan Hengye was startled by the cheers below when he left the house. It's not an exaggeration to say that as an earth nerd who doesn't like to join in the fun, he has never seen so many people in his last life.
People's subconscious physiological reactions cannot be hidden. At the moment he heard the cheers, Duan Hengye couldn't help but step back, and then quickly stood up straight up pretending that nothing happened. Perhaps his actions can be hidden from the excited people below, but he cannot hide from the live broadcast footage and Meng Jinhuai standing beside him.
So people who were watching the live broadcast found that Professor Meng, who had been watching the cold and omnipotent, was accidentally frightened by the cheers. Immediately after his movement, Meng Jinhuai, who was standing aside, suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Duan Hengye firmly.
Although the Marshal's husband is not a star, he also has CP fans all over the stars. Duan Hengye, who was working hard to do business, didn't know that at the moment he and Meng Jinhuai were holding hands, Yetian's morning news broadcast room was stuck for several seconds because of this-you know, this is the network system of the interstellar age.
It is said to be "patrolling", but the southern stars have a vast area, and it is indeed unrealistic to keep running at a low speed to truly "patrol" it again. According to the previous arrangement, Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye would only interact with everyone at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, and then they would transfer to a starship to circle the stars into the cosmic channel.
Duan Hengye discovered...In this short ten-minute interactive time, the original gentle eyes of the Great Actor Meng Jinhuai Meng once again evolved, directly advancing to "full of love". The Marshal supporters who were watching the live broadcast saw this look and started to take screenshots, but Duan Hengye, who had a ghost in his heart, panicked a little.
Yu Guang glanced at the side faces of the people around him, Duan Hengye complained in his heart that even if he was not a marshal with Meng Jinhuai's acting skills, he would never starve to death in his life...
Probably because Duan Hengye's eyes were not concealed enough, Meng Jinhuai also approached him and asked in a low voice with his extremely magnetic voice: "What's the matter?" At this moment, the two of them were very close, and Duan Hengye even came into contact with him. Is it an illusion that people are about to kiss.
As the male of the whole people described repeatedly in the book, no one can resist Meng Jinhuai's question, and Duan Hengye is no exception. After Meng Jinhuai's words fell, the half of Duan Hengye's face that was close to the other party became light red in conditioned reflex... Naturally, this scene was also broadcast live.
The planet where Anluo University is also belongs to the Marshal. Because of the admiration of the Marshal, many people still wake up early to watch the live broadcast on the first day of the holiday. The single dormitory rooms here share a small living room for every four people. At this time, in a certain living room, several students are eating breakfast while watching the live broadcast.
"The relationship between the Marshal and Professor Duan is really good." A boy in grey clothes gnawed his bread and exclaimed excitedly, "Professor Duan was my male when he was single!"
"Don't say it, I'm already a CP fan, and the look in the marshal's eyes is definitely true love!" The other person's emotions were a little more excited than the last one. After sighing, he hit his elbow and kept his head sullen to eat. The roommate of the live broadcast, "Why don't you watch Jingchi? Don't you always admire Professor Duan?" After the last incident, Lan Jingchi moved out and lived with other professionals. Although the majors are different, after a period of time, the relationship has developed well, and they often get together to chat.
The boy who was asked said "Yes." for a while, then suddenly got up from the sofa, cleaned up the food on the table and walked towards the door, "I'm going to do an experiment." He said perfunctorily.
"Uh...good." Seeing Lan Jingchi's back disappearing at the door, the remaining three people sat down in embarrassment. After a long silence, someone finally asked: "Hey, you guys...Is Jing Chi weird today?"
"Speak for you?" After the voice fell, the atmosphere in the living room finally became lively again, but the doubts in the three people's minds did not dissipate for a long time. Does Lan Jingchi know the gossip of the Marshal's Mansion? They all thought of this possibility, but no one talked about it.
...
Duan Hengye, who had finished the parade, finally boarded the starship of the military department, even though it was political. But today this trip is still classified as Duan Hengye’s private itinerary. Therefore, it is very rare. The two generals who have been following Duan Hengye did not follow. Probably from the time the starship was put into use to the present, there has rarely been this idle moment on it.
As soon as Duan Hengye boarded the starship, his personal assistant walked over quickly.
"Mr. Duan, this is a gift from the royal family just now." After finishing speaking, the assistant took out a wooden box with the big palm in front of Duan Hengye. According to tradition, during major festivals and certain memorial days, the royal family often gave gifts to other nobles or important members of the empire, which the original owner had received several times before.
Although there must be something in this small wooden box, Duan Hengye did not show any strange emotions on his face after seeing the box in the assistant's hands.
"Thank you." Duan Hengye took the box from his assistant. Seeing this, Meng Jinhuai, who had not spoken while standing, smiled and said to the assistant: "I'll remember to send a letter of thanks to the royal family for Ah Heng later."
"Okay, Master Marshal." The assistant nodded and noted his order.
"Yeah." Meng Jinhuai didn't seem to be interested in the contents of the box. He turned around and said to Duan Hengye: "A Heng, you should go and rest for a while. There are some things in the military department that have not been dealt with, so I will come soon. "Hearing Meng Jinhuai said he was leaving, Duan Hengye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He nodded to Meng Jinhuai, and then walked to the lounge with the wooden box.
...
The restroom in the lounge is a blind spot for surveillance that is rare on the starship. At this time, the cool light was cast from the side, reflecting Duan Hengye's fingers more pale. Looking at the door of the lounge again, Duan Hengye hesitated and finally gently opened the dark wood lid.
Duan Hengye couldn't help feeling a little nervous because he didn't know what was inside the box. Despite this, the speed of his men did not slow down at all.
The dark wood lid popped up, and a necklace made of sapphire lay quietly on the bottom of the wooden box.
Duan Hengye frowned slightly, then took the necklace out of the wooden box. Almost as soon as he took the necklace out of the box, he immediately realized the problem-the weight of the necklace was wrong!
Although I don't know the material of the necklace in his hand, the original owner has the habit of wearing brooches every time he attends important occasions, and even some buttons on his formal dress are made of precious stones. Compared with the previous accessories, the necklace he was holding at this time was a bit too light.
Duan Hengye carefully placed the sapphire in his palm, and after observing for a while he finally found a small crack in the gem. Without any hesitation, Hengye immediately stretched out his fingers to open the gems along the gap to both sides. Sure enough, there is something in this gem necklace!
After opening the necklace, I saw a small black capsule lying quietly in a small hole formed in the jewel. The memory of the original owner told Duan Hengye that what he was holding was the royal family's control drug.
Before he could continue to do anything, a palm-sized light screen suddenly appeared on the sapphire.
"Professor Duan, this is your anniversary gift."
Seeing the unfamiliar but unignorable signature under these words, Duan Hengye's hand holding the necklace trembles slightly. If he remembers correctly, this is the first time the emperor of the Yetian Empire left a message to himself.
