The suspension car stopped outside the Palace.

Ji Xingjue and Qi Qing got out of the car side by side. Before they entered the Palace gate, Qi Qing received the news from Damel.
Damel spoke from where he was,”Marshal, as soon as you left, the Captain of the Palace guard and the people from the Ministry of Security department came and took away His Highness Harlem.”
Ji Xingjue smiled. “It’s not unexpected at all.”
Whether it was for the sake of the Royal family’s image or his personal emotions, the Emperor could not keep Harlem in the Military department, which he had never fully trusted. It was in line with his style to take Harlem away and execute him secretly.
Qi Qing had no objection and said in a calm tone, “Let them take him away then.”
They had obtained the information they needed, and whether they could guard Harlem after taking him away, it had nothing to do with the military.
The Palace was in chaos, and with the help of the military, the guards captured all the rebellious guards. Deen had already arrived at the Palace and was accompanying His Majesty the Emperor.
Qi Qing did not mention Harlem’s matter, and nodded to the two of them. “Your Majesty, you should have received the news.”
The Emperor sat on the sofa, and with his pale face, he coldly snorted, “I didn’t expect Rand to be a member of the Holy Order, these remnants of the Randa Empire!”
Deen stood at the edge and held his hands. “The rebels in the Palace have been dealt with. Marshal, please withdraw the people from the military headquarters.”
Qi Qing raised his eyelids. “We have already evacuated. Your Majesty, can you grant me the permission to go to Admiral Rand’s house for inspection?”
The Emperor waved his hand, “Go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Captain of the guard who had just gone to the military headquarters to pick up someone hurried in, wiping cold sweat. When he saw Qi Qing, he looked away guiltily and whispered in the Emperor’s ear.
The Emperor’s eyes suddenly widened as he slammed the table angrily. “Gone? How did you handle things!”
The Captain of the guard suddenly knelt down. Facing the furious Emperor, he spoke in a louder voice, “The car which the Third Prince was imprisoned in was pressed from all directions. There were soldiers posted in the car to keep an eye on him, but not long after leaving the military headquarters, everyone suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, and they were stunned for a while. When they woke up, the Third Prince had disappeared…”
Ji Xingjue raised his eyebrows and gave Qi Qing a “sure enough” look.
Harlem was well prepared and they shouldn’t have taken him lightly.
What he wanted was just an opportunity to get away from Qi Qing and Ji Xingjue’s sights.
Now that he had burrowed into the crowd in the Imperial Capital, even Qi Qing and Ji Xingjue couldn’t pick him out in the vast crowd.
The Emperor turned blue with anger. “Send someone to find him immediately! If you can’t find him, you lots will…”
The Emperor gasped a few times, then suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted.
Before leaving, Yu Tong’s little reminder was still in his ears. “Don’t get emotional, as it will stimulate the activity of the Bewildered Flower. Don’t take medicine often, as your body won’t be able to bear it.”
Ji Xingjue shook his head regretfully.
Really disobedient.
The Emperor fainted, and everyone around him was stunned again, resulting in not a signal person cared about Qi Qing and Ji Xingjue. The Presbyterian Council would take care of the rest, and the two of them exited the Palace Hall, preparing to search Rand’s house.
“With Rand’s temperament, I feel like nothing can be found,” Ji Xingjue looked up at the small, blue sky in the center of the tall building, and shook his head, “…but still, let’s try our luck.”
Qi Qing reached out and pressed his head, bringing his eyes back to him. “Un.”
Ji Xingjue looked at Qi Qing, became bright again, and followed him into the car. “As soon as Harlem escapes, the Emperor will have to issue a wanted order for a treasonous prince, tsk tsk.”
Although the ice and snow in the Imperial Capital had dispersed, the early spring weather was still a bit cold. Qi Qing reached out and covered his cold cheek. “Where do you think Harlem will go?”
Ji Xingjue shook his head honestly. “I don’t know, but I feel that His Majesty the Emperor won’t be able to catch him. Probably, he will go somewhere where he feels free.”
Rand’s mansion had been completely sealed off. When Qi Qing and Ji Xingjue arrived, Damel was already waiting at the door. “Marshal, Madam, we’ve made sure that no one comes in or out of here.”
Ji Xingjue had been to Rand’s mansion several times before, and walked in with ease. “You can come in now and look through the house thoroughly.”
Qi Qing gave a few orders, followed Ji Xingjue smoothly, and got into Rand’s study.
Luxury prevailed in the Imperial Capital, but Rand’s mansion was very simple, and he didn’t like to collect any collections. His favorite thing in the past was to let Ji Xingjue come to the study to play a few games of chess with him when he had time.
Sure enough, there was still an arranged chess-game in the study room.
Ji Xingjue stared at the chess set and rubbed his temples.
Speaking of which, he also taught Qi Qing how to play chess.
Also?
The first word that came to his mind made his eyelids twitch. Ji Xingjue glanced at Qi Qing and poked his waist. “Lord Marshal, go and help search the study. I’m too lazy and want to break this chess game first.”
Qi Qing obediently went to the study to search. Ji Xingjue sat on black piece’s side and observed the chess game.
The black and white sides were in a stalemate, evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell which would be the winner.
He pondered for a moment, then picked up the black chess piece and placed it on the chessboard with a snap. His movements were brave and decisive, completely different from his usual gentle style.
He broke the game and won.
The chessboard slowly moved away, revealing the memory card hidden inside.
This was left to him intentionally by Rand.
Ji Xingjue paused and took out the memory card.
He glanced at Qi Qing who was checking on the other end. Playing with the memory card in hand, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment before making a shout. “Qi Qing, there’s no need to look for it. I got what Rand left behind.”
Qi Qing came over a little surprised, looked at the memory card lying in Ji Xingjue’s hand, and curled his lips. “Professor Ji has made progress.”
Ji Xingjue was obviously trying to drive him away just now, and he thought that Ji Xingjue was planning to do something secretly by himself again.
Ji Xingjue put away the memory card, and walked to the optical computer in the study to open and checked it again. Sure enough, all the information had been cleared, leaving only useless things. He leaned back and said with a smile, “Of course, Lord Marshal is my most trusted husband.”
Qi Qing raised his eyebrows and looked down at him. “Do you like this title so much?”
Ji Xingjue showed a confused smile. “It’s just so-so, but I think you seem to like it, so I’m fulfilling your satisfaction.”
Qi Qing rubbed the back of his neck threateningly.
Ji Xingjue hissed and jumped away. “Okay, okay, don’t make trouble. I guess everyone has almost finished searching. Let’s go home and have a rest. It’s time to return to Doyler Base tomorrow. “
Qi Qing followed Ji Xingjue outside, and sure enough, Damel, who led people to search around, found nothing. He came over with a frown and was ready to be scolded. “Marshal, Admiral Rand’s house is cleaner than my bank account…”
As expected.
Qi Qing said, “It doesn’t matter.”
Damel immediately breathed a sigh of relief and rambled, “I feel that if Admiral Rand hadn’t jumped out on his own, no one would have doubted him. Why would a person who doesn’t like to stand out, come forward?”
Because he felt that Ludwig would be back soon.
Ji Xingjue answered his doubts from the bottom of his heart, and with no expression on his face, saying, “We’ve been working hard recently, let’s go back and have a rest. It’s time to set off tomorrow.”
Damel didn’t feel it was hard at all, and nodded energetically. After nodding, he remembered who his commander was, and looked at Qi Qing quietly.
There was no emotion or anger on Qi Qing’s face as he muttered to himself after a while, “The orders given by Mrs. Marshal are the same as those of the Marshal. “
Damel winked, “Oh!”
He consciously refused to be a light bulb and quickly led others to leave first.
The Admiral’s Mansion and the Marshal’s Mansion were not far apart.
Returning to the Marshal’s Mansion after a long absence, Ji Xingjue stretched out tiredly, sat on the carpet in the living room and turned on the optical computer. “There is a password on the memory card. If you enter it incorrectly, the contents inside will be destroyed. Let me try it first.”
Qi Qing poured him a cup of hot water. “I’ll give you thirty minutes.”
Ji Xingjue looked at him in shock. “Lord Marshal, do you know how complicated this password is…”
“If you can’t crack it, go and rest.” Qi Qing finished the previous sentence, “You haven’t had any rest all night.”
Ji Xingjue uttered an oh slowly. No wonder he felt a little slow in thinking.
Qi Qing sat behind him and consciously acted as a human cushion. “When you wake up, go to Mom’s laboratory to give your body a check up.”
Last time Ji Xingjue fainted for a few days, Yu Tong mentioned a full-body checkup.
But at that time, Ji Xingjue was full of the thought of running away and didn’t want Qi Qing to know that he had physical abnormalities, so he didn’t go through with it.
It was a good idea to check it out again while he was back in the Imperial Capital.
Ji Xingjue hesitated for a moment, swallowed what he wanted to say, nodded, and quietly began to crack the code.
It was unknown what Rand left behind, and the password was extremely complicated.
Ji Xingjue yawned and made no progress after fussing for thirty minutes.
Lord Marshal held his watch and didn’t give him a spare second. When the time was up, without waiting for Ji Xingjue to refuse to acknowledge that one had lost the game, he directly picked him up and walked to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Ji Xingjue had no choice but to give up for the time being. When he was placed on the bed, he rolled over, patted his side, and said with a smile, “If Lord Marshal doesn’t say anything, I won’t sleep either.”
Qi Qing set an alarm clock to avoid oversleeping. He took off his stiff uniform jacket and lay down next to him. “I’ll accompany you.”
Ji Xingjue slid into his arms and yawned again. He was almost asleep, but his hands habitually got into Qi Qing’s clothes and touched his strong and smooth abdominal muscles appreciatively, and said very dishonestly, “Then will Lord Marshal accompany others?”
Qi Qing’s breathing became a little heavier, and he reacted almost immediately. He squeezed out two words from between his teeth, “I won’t.”
“Ah?” Ji Xingjue didn’t expect to be rejected and was a little confused, “Is our relationship broken now?”
Qi Qing grabbed his wandering hand with an expressionless face. “Be honest and go to sleep.”
Ji Xingjue muttered, “Is sleeping more important than sleeping with me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a hot breath fell on his lips. Tossing and turning, Qi Qing almost wanted to tear him apart and swallow him up. “Do you know what makes A’Xing blossom?”
Ji Xingjue became well-behaved.
Qi Qing’s breath lingered on his lips, and a familiar smell lingered around his body.
The slight fear and uneasiness in his heart melted away. He closed his eyes in a daze and felt Qi Qing patting his back gently. His words were a bit unclear. “Qi Qing, what if I’m not a human being?”
He still remembered what Qi Qing said, no matter how human-like a bionic person was, they weren’t human. No matter how human-like they looked, they still had mechanical skeletons inside and could not understand human thinking.
Although according to the previous inspections, he just had physical abnormalities.
But this also showed that his body was different from that of normal people.
After he finished speaking, he noticed Qi Qing’s fingers moving up and gently grinding on his nape.
Ji Xingjue trembled, and Qi Qing’s firm and gentle voice fell in his ears. “Of course you are human.”
You’re so sensitive.
