Qi Lian said that she is an imperial person who has lived in the federation all year round. This is true. She has come to the federation since she was 15 years old.

But before that, except for that one Star Wars, she had actually never left the territory of the Empire.

Star Wars is not a war between the Empire and the Federation, but a war between the Empire and the Federation against the Zerg invasion. Nowadays, although there is a difference between the Federation and the Empire, the war between people has already become history, because humans have A common enemy - the interstellar Zerg.

The Zerg is an insatiable resource predator, a cold-blooded killer, and a brave warrior who fears no death. They are all produced by the queen.Being able to support a race with a single individual, the reproductive ability of the queen is naturally extremely strong, but in contrast, it consumes a lot of energy.Energy, the bodies of animals and plants, and even the garbage of the human world are all food for queen insects, which means that once a queen is born, there will be a steady stream of insect races plundering resources. is a disaster.

In the history of mankind, the first reconciliation between the Federation and the Empire was because the Zerg began to invade the human world on a large scale. At that time, although all human beings united, they still paid a huge price to kill the Queen of Zerg.It is no exaggeration to say that the population that died in that war accounted for half of the entire interstellar population at that time, and until now, because new queens wake up every few decades, the number of humans has still not recovered to the third level. A pre-Star Wars level.

A new queen means a new war, and the war lasts for hundreds of years. Human spiritual power is produced in the flames of war, and it becomes stronger because of the tempering of the flames of war.At the same time, although every war is tragic, because there is always a buffer period of decades after the war, human beings can recuperate.Humans are also very capable of giving birth to babies, and the lifespan of human beings is much longer than that of Zerg, so human beings have never disappeared, and because of the development of spiritual power, they have become more and more powerful.

But the latest Star Wars was very different.

According to the records, the nearest worm queen was only five years away from the last Star Wars.Therefore, when the Zerg began to invade the edge star, people were really caught off guard. At that time, many legions were urgently transferred to the edge star, but because the loss was too serious in the last war, human beings could only struggle to support it.The difficult battle was fought for three years, and it was not until the queen was killed that mankind saw hope again.

It was Qi Lian's army who killed the queen.

The details of that battle have not been disclosed so far, and Jiang Ran only reluctantly knows that Qi Lian led the team to kill the queen.It is said that it was precisely because of the excessive use of mental power in that war that Qi Lian's mental power was not at peace, and her blindness was also the result of a mental riot.

Because of that war, Qi Lian became a hero. Not only the people of the empire worshiped her, but also the people of the federation were grateful to her. Not long after that, for some unknown reason, the empire recalled the eldest prince Qi Xiu who had originally settled in the federation, and sent Qi Lian Lian was sent to the Federation for "retreat".

After all, as a Chinese who has seen many dynasties change, Jiang Ran noticed something very interesting, so he went to study the activities of the imperial family in the federation.She found that since the first Star Wars, members of the imperial royal family have always settled in the Federation, and correspondingly, the Federation has always had immediate family members of parliament members "studying" in the Empire.Jiang Ran thought, this should be equivalent to a "proton", a two-way "proton".

Although there is a common enemy as a bond of friendship, it is clear that both the Federation and the Empire like double insurance.

Therefore, it is obvious that after Star Wars, Qi Lian, who was violent with mental power, became a "proton".However, unlike those protons in front of her, Qi Lian is also extremely respected in the Federation because of her contribution to beheading the insect queen. The reason for the Empire vs. Federation blessing.

After carefully collecting all the information about Qi Lian that he could learn, Jiang Ran was in a very complicated mood at that time.Although she was already mentally prepared, she knew that her "marriage" partner might be a big shot, but she never expected that it would be someone with such a complicated identity.

It's just that there was no turning back, and the wedding came as scheduled.

Because of Qi Lian's blindness, although the wedding was very grand, the process was actually not complicated after careful study, and it didn't even bother Jiang Ran.And because the wedding was held in the Commonwealth, the Empress of the Empire did not come in person, but she also accompanied Qi Lian through the holographic projection.

After the wedding, Jiang Ran moved into Qi Lian's private estate.

They agreed before they got married that they would do their best to maintain the appearance of this marriage, so Jiang Ran had no objection to their need to live in the same room.

But when Qi Lian changed from her wedding dress and walked into their bedroom slowly in a long white embroidered dress, she couldn't help but clutch the corners of her clothes nervously.

In fact, all her reliance was just a verbal agreement. When she got married, she came to this strange manor and faced a man who had killed the queen. If something happened at this time, she would have no ability to resist. .

Qi Lian was getting closer to her, Jiang Ran couldn't help taking a small step back, and then she found Qi Lian stopped, standing quietly not far away like a white camellia, and smiled at her Down.

It's just that Qi Lian's eyes still couldn't meet her. It seemed that Qi Lian could only vaguely judge her position.

Seeing her standing like that, Jiang Ran was not used to it, and had the urge to give her a chair.Qi Lian didn't know what she was thinking, and kept a distance, pointing to the wide bed in the room.

"That bed...is very big. I specially ordered them to change it. The chief guard must have been holding back his laughter."

Jiang Ran glanced at the big bed, blushed suddenly, and then looked at her very vigilantly, as if to run away from the door when he saw something was wrong.

"You don't have to be afraid, I don't mean anything else, I mean, because it's big enough, so you don't have to worry about getting in touch with me at night. You see, if they don't violate my order, this bed will After you and I lie down, there is still a big space in between."

Although she said so much, Qi Lian couldn't see it herself. She wanted to go over and touch it, but she could feel Jiang Ran's nervousness, so she didn't really want to scare her.

Jiang Ran knew that he had misunderstood, coughed lightly, and echoed, "Yes, it's very big."

Knowing that she was better, Qi Lian said to her, "Do you want to take a shower? Over there is the bathroom." She raised her arm and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

Jiang Ran became curious: "How do you know that there is a bathroom over there?"

"I've been blind for many years. I naturally have my own way of judging these things." Qi Lian smiled mysteriously, and didn't tell her. Instead, she seemed to be very proud and said to her: "Moreover, as long as it's in this manor , I can walk like a normal person, if you don’t believe me, you can observe, I won’t fall.”

She said it calmly, but Jiang Ran remembered that this person was not born blind. Seeing her so calm, as if she had already accepted the misfortune that happened to him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It may not be so terrible to never get it. What I am afraid of is that I have been in contact with such a wonderful and convenient world, but lost it all at once.

If I remember correctly, Qi Lian was under 15 years old when he entered the battlefield, right?

Jiang Ran took the clothes to wash, and after she finished washing, Qi Lian went in, and after a while, the sound of running water could be faintly heard inside.

Jiang Ran huddled on the bed, listening to the sound of water, thinking that he had undressed in that claustrophobic space last moment... and frowned unconsciously.

She thought Qi Lian had already washed it. After all, Qi Lian had just left for a while and changed his clothes again.

However, such things will often happen in the future, right?And when she was at home before, the whole family shared the same bathroom, and she didn't have so many hypocrisy, so why did she care about it today?

Jiang Ran hammered his head, and a moment of annoyance slid across his face. Sure enough, she was not normal after she came to Interstellar.

Qi Lian didn't know what she was struggling with. After washing, she went to bed refreshed. She seemed to be able to tell which side Jiang Ran was on, so she went to the other side and lay down on the other side. redundant words.

However, Jiang Ran knew that even if Qi Lian behaved like this, she might not be able to fully trust Qi Lian in a short time. If nothing else, tonight would be difficult.

She must not be able to sleep.

There was no words on both sides, and after lying down for more than ten minutes, Jiang Ran didn't dare to move, and felt that this was really stupid, so she sighed slightly again.

"Do you want to turn off the lights?"

Qi Lian whispered.

It was only then that Jiang Ran realized that she had ignored the lights. She gave a stiff acknowledgment, thinking of Qi Lian's inconvenience, she wanted to turn it off by herself, but Qi Lian had already woken up the intelligent system in the house and asked it to turn off the lights.

Jiang Ran: "..." She is really an ancient person.

Unable to fall asleep, while Qi Lian was still awake, Jiang Ran asked her a question that had troubled Jiang Ran for a long time: "Qi Lian, why did you go to the battlefield in the first place?"

Being so young and being a member of the royal family, Qi Lian could actually avoid that war, right?

Qi Lian was very surprised by her sudden utterance, and of course, even more surprised by her question, but he still answered her: "Because I am the first in line to the throne...I am the Crown Prince."

It was a midsummer night, almost in the middle of the month, the moon was big and round, and the moonlight reflected on the curtains, as beautiful as poetry.There were cicadas chirping outside, and the summer heat, and Qi Lian's never-changing calmness when speaking made Jiang Ran's heart feel a little stuffy.

In fact, it might not be these things that upset her, but what Qi Lian said later.

"If the crown prince doesn't go to war, then who can show the determination of the royal family to defend the people? Then only the emperor himself."

"But of course the emperor cannot go to the battlefield, so she will not allow the crown prince to retreat..."

"The crown prince himself will not allow..."
