Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 216 Revealing the secret
When Jing Weimian saw Jing Xiaoyu's tearful eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

In front of her little mermaid baby, she did not speak as calmly and concisely as she did in front of her parents.

Instead, she patiently explained everything to Lu Lianbai in a soft and gentle voice, trying her best to make sure every word was clear.

I don't want the little guy to misunderstand anything about Lu Lianbai's departure.

Jing Xiaoyu was held on her mother's lap. After listening to her mother's explanation, her emotions finally calmed down a little.

Momo nestled back into the crook of Jing Weimian's neck, rubbed her little face against it, and said:

"Xiaoyu understands. Xiaoyu will stay obediently by Mom's side and wait for Dad to come back."

Jing Weimian hummed in agreement, then lowered her head slightly and rested it on the little fish's head. After thinking for a moment, she gently patted the little guy's back a few times.

After coaxing Jing Xiaoyu to sleep.

Jing Weimian got out of bed and quietly walked out of the room.

It was too late, so Jing Weimian didn't go downstairs. Instead, she went straight to the terrace at the end of the corridor, leaned against the railing, and looked out over the Marshal's Mansion.

You can clearly see the twinkling lights of the floating port in the sky.

Jing Weimian stood there in the cold wind, thinking about all sorts of things.

She had been so firm in explaining to the little one, but now she couldn't help but start to doubt herself.

She wondered if it was because of her criminal record that Lu Lianbai felt she was not trustworthy.

That's why he'd rather bear the problems alone than tell her anything.

Jing Weimian stood on the terrace for almost half an hour before returning to her room to sleep.

Jing Weimian was absent from the important royal council meeting yesterday.

Although the marshal had attended the meeting in her place, Jing Weimian still needed to go there in person.

Therefore, on this day, Jing Weimian could only ask her parents to take care of the child for half a day, while she took Chen Yan and several deputy generals into the palace.

Jing Weimian initially thought the president wanted to see her at the palace to discuss the recent war zone deployment in the Jungle Star Region.

Unexpectedly, upon entering the palace's council chamber, the president not only failed to mention the relevant matter at all, but also surprisingly began discussing another matter with Jing Weimian.

"Weimian, do you still remember the Fourth Prince, Bosi, whom I sent to a remote star system in my early years?"

Jing Weimian paused for a moment, then nodded, "I remember."

The fourth prince, Prince Perth, was exiled by the president to a remote star system with scarce resources from a young age.

On the surface, it was said to be a posting to a star system, but almost all the people of the capital star knew that this Prince Perth had been unpopular since birth.

Over the years, he has never been summoned by the president and has always been a prince on the fringes of the royal family, the most dispensable one.

That's why, if the president hadn't brought it up so suddenly today, Jing Weimian really wouldn't have remembered anything about this Prince Bo Si.

“I have sent Perth back to the capital planet and plan to have him stationed at the military base in the northern part of the capital planet.”

“Weimian, the reason I summoned you here today is also for this matter.”

"The military forces on the capital planet have always been dominated by you. I hope you can help me restrain and balance the power of the princes and princesses."

During the voyage from the palace, Jing Weimian carefully considered the president's words and said.

"Judging from what the president said, it seems he intends to support the fourth prince to ascend to the throne."

Chen Yan still found it strange: "But before this, this fourth prince had always been exiled to remote star systems, and he had never been summoned back by the president for any major royal events."

"Perhaps they wanted the Fourth Prince to keep a low profile and avoid his sharp edge before, but now that the time is right, they feel comfortable letting him come back."

“Look at how those princesses and His Highness fought each other openly and secretly in recent years, and neither of them came out on top. This shows that the president’s preferred heir has never been one of those publicly known candidates.” Chen Yan nodded in agreement after hearing General Jing’s words. “The general is right.”

Although Jing Weimian is loyal to the Alliance Empire, he does not blindly follow anyone.

He immediately closed the document in his hand, "Let's go to the North District to see this returning Fourth Prince."

Chen Yan responded and immediately changed course to head to the military base in the northern district.

Before, every time Jing Weimian came to the North District, it was either for the war zone's deployment or for the deployment of battle exercises.

This is the first time I've ever come here specifically under the guise of a routine patrol.

Jing Weimian came with the intention of testing whether Prince Bo Si had the potential to become the crown prince.

Upon learning of General Jing's arrival, the North Base specially arranged a meeting.

Upon arriving at the conference building, Jing Weimian went straight into the conference room, where she ran into the newly appointed Prince Platinum.

Jing Weimian stared at the completely unfamiliar, deep-set face in front of her and slowly nodded in acknowledgment.

He then turned to face the conference table and announced the start of the meeting.

Since the main purpose was to cooperate with the patrol, Jing Weimian mostly sat in her seat listening to the recent arrangements of the North District.

The meeting ended and people dispersed half an hour later.

Jing Weimian, along with His Highness Platinum and several high-ranking officers from the Northern District, entered the suspended elevator.

In a relatively enclosed space.

Jing Weimian remained calm and composed as always, and asked a few questions about the relevant star regions under her jurisdiction, as usual.

Upon arriving at the first floor of the conference building via elevator, Jing Weimian stated that she had other matters to attend to and bid farewell to several high-ranking military officers.

But he deliberately slowed his pace and called out to Prince Platinum, who was also about to leave with his entourage:
"Your Highness, I have a question I'd like to ask you privately. Would it be possible to discuss it with you in private?"

Prince Bosi paused slightly, turned his head to say a few words to his subordinate beside him, and then turned to look at her.

"What does General Jing want to talk to me about?"

Jing Weimian walked straight to the reception room on one side of the corridor.

The very next second that Prince Perth walked in.

With a "beep," the door lock was automatically engaged.

Prince Platinum frowned, but before he could say anything, Jing Weimian had already swung one of the shackles off his waist.

They moved with lightning speed, grabbed his hands behind his back, and in the blink of an eye, handcuffed him and slammed him heavily against the door.

Prince Platinum let out a muffled groan, caught off guard.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Weimian's military boots mercilessly stepped on his long boots.

Jing Weimian handcuffed the man with one hand and hooked the back of his neck with the other, forcing him to lower his head.

She stared coldly at the person in front of her and spoke.

"You changed your mask, and even went so far as to change the color of your pupils, just in case I recognized you, right?"

As she spoke, her strong, thin wrists tightened around his neck.

She slowly tilted her head back, her soft, slightly cool lips pressed against his cheek, and she took a deep sniff.

An extremely familiar, chilling spiritual aura emanated from her, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Jing Weimian continued in a cool, unhurried voice:
"Too bad, the moment you appeared in front of me, the spiritual aura emanating from you gave you away in an instant."
