After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

Chapter 182 : The Empress's Response

Although Fry Lott was still an unpresented child, he had taken physiology classes about secondary genders.

He knew that Alphas in susceptible period desperately needed their partner's comfort.

That's why he made such a suggestion to Shen Han.

Little Lott thought her girlfriend was far away in the Free Federation, and using a private jet to bring someone across borders would require his grandfather to handle some relationships.

After all, Shen Han came to Ksenrode for work, and bringing her girlfriend clearly wasn't proper.

Based on this consideration, Fry Lott had forcibly driven everyone else out.

Shen Han's ears were still ringing.

She didn't hear everything the little boy in front of her said, only catching the words "girlfriend".

With a trembling hand, she took out her encrypted phone.

As if possessed, she unlocked the screen, pulled up Gu Junwan's number, then froze.

She couldn't call Gu Junwan at a time like this.

The situation in the Federation had just stabilized, and if the Empress's relationship was exposed in this manner, it would surely cause a huge storm!

Seeing that she had pulled up the phone but still hadn't pressed dial, Fry Lott felt extremely anxious.

He looked up at Shen Han's vacant eyes, trying to reach out and gently pinch the front of the phone, then successfully pulled it from her hand.

Shen Han's thoughts were trapped in an imaginary media storm.

She didn't even react when Fry Lott took away her encrypted phone.

Fry Lott brought the phone to a nearby coffee table. He laid out paper, picked up a pen, and only then pressed the dial button.

While making the call, his entire nerves were strung tight.

He worried that if Shen Han's girlfriend didn't speak Ksenrode, he wouldn't be able to explain the situation at all.

The call connected quickly, but no sound came from the receiver.

Fry Lott was so nervous he forgot to speak, just holding the phone and listening for any movement on the other end.

After about two or three seconds, a cool female voice finally sounded.

"Who are you? How is she?"

The voice entering his ear was very pleasant. Fry Lott felt as if a clear spring had flowed through his mind.

But he was extremely anxious inside, because the language the other person spoke wasn't Ksenrode, and he couldn't understand.

At this moment, the same inquiry came through the receiver again.

Except this time, it was spoken in Ksenrode.

Fry Lott was slightly stunned. He felt the voice he heard was somewhat familiar.

The memory was still fresh, but he couldn't recall for the moment whose melodious voice it was.

"Hello, are you Shen Han's girlfriend? Her susceptible period has come, and she's in a lot of distress."

"Can... can you come to be with her?"

Before he finished speaking, Fry Lott had already started sobbing softly.

Because he saw Shen Han, who had been sitting properly just now, suddenly tilt her head and slump against the chair.

......

When Gu Junwan received the call from Shen Han, she was already suspicious.

Usually, that person would send a message first, then call.

Because Gu Junwan's work often required meetings, calling directly might disrupt her current proceedings.

After the call connected, with no sound coming from the other end, Gu Junwan immediately became alert.

She first asked in the Federation language, both getting straight to the point and probing the other's identity.

The person on the other end of the phone could access this device and unlock the screen to call her, indicating that Shen Han had fallen into their hands.

Gu Junwan was very anxious. In the few seconds waiting for the other to speak, her mind had already started racing, preparing to respond to this sudden situation with the most efficient measures.

It wasn't until Fry Lott's voice came through that the stone suspended in Gu Junwan's heart finally crashed down.

Little Lott couldn't match the voice he had heard not long ago to a person, but she could pull up the matching person from her memory through the voice.

Adding that Shen Han had been invited by Fry Lott, hearing what the little boy said now, all the anomalies had a reasonable explanation.

Gu Junwan slowly took a breath, then began to inquire: "Has she taken suppressants? Don't panic, just briefly tell me about her discomfort."

The Empress had her mature and habitual system for handling matters. The more anxious she felt inside, the calmer and more composed she appeared outwardly.

If she were to act rashly without clarifying the situation she was about to face, it would cause major problems.

After hearing Fry Lott's account, Gu Junwan immediately realized there were hidden issues in the whole affair.

And there were more than just one or two problematic points.

While other matters weren't hard to deduce, what puzzled Gu Junwan most was Grand Duke Fry's attitude.

Logically, with Fry Lott opening up and bringing a new friend home, Grand Duke Fry shouldn't have had no reaction at all.

Moreover, with Shen Han injuring people in the castle due to her susceptible period, his continued silence was illogical.

Gu Junwan pondered that either something unexpected had also happened to Grand Duke Fry, or, behind this series of indifference, he definitely had deeper intentions.

Just as Gu Junwan was contemplating what to do next, Fry Lott's voice came through, tinged with timidity.

"Excuse me, are you the Empress?"

After struggling to remember, the little boy finally recalled where he had heard the voice of the woman on the phone.

He could hardly believe his own judgment, so he asked directly.

After two seconds of silence on the other end, the cool, pleasant voice came again: "It's me."

"It will take me some time to reach Fry Castle. Before I arrive, don't let anyone near her."

"Also, I need you to do some things as the heir of Grand Duke Fry, because my relationship with her can't be made public for now. Can you cooperate as I say?"

Fry Lott carefully noted down every point Gu Junwan mentioned.

After hanging up, he went to implement each item one by one.

What Gu Junwan wanted him to cooperate with wasn't complicated.

In summary, she needed Fry Lott to inform the palace as the host, inviting the Empress and her party to visit the castle.

There were also some arrangements for guards and servants within the castle.

Only in this way would it be proper for the Empress to bring her guard team to Fry Castle.

Another point was that if Fry Lott could complete these tasks, it would indicate that Grand Duke Fry was certainly aware of the unexpected incident in the castle.

Otherwise, Fry Lott, still a child, wouldn't be able to send effective documents directly to the palace bypassing his grandfather.

Gu Junwan didn't bring too many attendants.

Besides six guard team members led by Ning Xi, there were also Jiang Xinyue, Xu Zhao, and a doctor.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Fry Castle in a royal flying car, escorted by guards.

Except for a handful of people who knew the real reason, everyone else openly or secretly watching Fry Castle believed it was a business visit.

After all, Grand Duke Fry controlled quite a few energy projects.

The Empress being invited for a visit wasn't hard to understand.

After being welcomed into Fry Castle, Gu Junwan went directly from the reception building to Shen Han's area.

Along the way, they didn't encounter a single servant, only solemn soldiers lining the path.

Upon reaching the corridor of the guest room where Shen Han was, Fry Lott approached with red-rimmed eyes.

He looked at the young woman with golden phoenix eyes before him, full of guilt, not knowing what to say.

He felt he had failed to take good care of Shen Han after inviting her over and had no face to meet her commanding officer and girlfriend.

The thought of Shen Han handcuffing herself to the chair made him very upset; the atmosphere in the room had become extremely oppressive, and he didn't dare enter again.

One look at the little boy's expression, and Gu Junwan knew what he was thinking.

She crouched down and stroked Fry Lott's head: "You've done very well. Leave the rest to me."

Fry Lott nodded very obediently, then led Gu Junwan to the guest room door.

At this point, Xu Zhao suddenly blocked her way, looking worried.

She spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Your Majesty, perhaps we should let the doctor go in first."

Special Assistant Xu, though unclear about what exactly happened in the guest room, could sense from Fry Lott's state that Shen Han's condition was not right.

She worried it might not be safe for her Empress to go in alone. What if Shen the dog couldn't control herself and hurt her?

Gu Junwan shook her head slightly: "It's alright. Guard this door for me. Without my order, don't let anyone in."

After giving this quiet instruction, she turned the doorknob and entered the guest room alone.

She didn't mention to Xu Zhao that Shen Han had caused trouble after receiving suppressant injections.

If Shen Han was allergic to the medication this time, even a Federation doctor coming in wouldn't help much.

And if there was a problem with the previously injected drug, a second injection could be dangerous.

In either case, Gu Junwan decided to go in and see her condition first.

Upon entering the room, the Alpha's aggressive pheromones immediately hit her.

The usually gentle cedar scent seemed to have turned into a forceful bully at this moment, rushing to attach to the omega's skin, nibbling finely.

Gu Junwan stood still for a moment, waiting until she had slightly adapted to the pheromone concentration in the room before continuing forward.

The fresh air system in the VIP suite was fully activated.

However, the speed at which pheromones were extracted was far slower than the Alpha's intense release.

It's like how ink easily stains an entire water tank, but it takes considerable time to dilute the ink.

Gu Junwan stepped through the mess, walking towards the steel and wood chair area ahead.

Her exposed cheeks and neck were already tinged with a rosy hue, the blush climbing to the corners of her eyes, bringing out a heart-stirring beauty.

At this moment, Shen Han was completely unaware of her omega's arrival.

She sat cross-legged on the floor, head bowed, her black hair like a curtain of night stealing her vision.

The wrist locked with the metal handcuffs had already been rubbed raw, leaving a glaring red mark on the Alpha's pale arm.

Gu Junwan knelt down in front of her beloved.

Looking at Shen Han with the bite guard on her head and disheveled hair, she finally couldn't hold back and began to cry.
