After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 266

266~ (Confronting a Problem Child in the Office...)~

In her eyes, the Empress, who almost never lied, had lied to her for the first time, and this lie was nearly perfect. If she hadn't felt something was off from the very beginning, she might have already believed it.

"Fei, aren't you being a bit evasive in your words?"

Fei: (눈‸눈)

Haven't disciplined her in a few days, so she's getting cocky again?

But if she really got serious about disciplining her, she couldn't bear to do it.

"Sigh..."

The Empress ultimately released the Little Princess and stopped restraining Chen Ze on the ground.

"Enough playing around. Let's talk about something serious, Mo."

She also used magically-grown vines to weave a stool for the Little Princess. As for Chen Ze... sitting on the floor was enough for him.

"What serious matter?"

She was momentarily confused and hadn't expected the Empress to suddenly become normal again.

How strange!

"I lack magic power. I currently need a large amount of magic power. Does Mo know where there are places with large energy reserves?"

As long as the Little Princess brought it up, she would be able to find the place.

It was clearly just a dream world, yet because it wasn't her own dream, she was unable to control the dream's direction. How pathetic.

Moreover, she couldn't directly end this dream. Otherwise, the next time she wanted to see the Little Princess's past memories, it would be rather difficult.

This type of super-large dream still had a certain degree of difficulty to enter, and it required consuming a lot of mental energy. After each ending, she would need to rest for a long time before recovering.

Of course, this didn't matter much to the Little Princess. The one who bore the corresponding price was mainly the caster, whether it was the mental consumption or the magic power consumption, it was all her.

The key point was that after she entered, she discovered she didn't have any control over the dream, while the Little Princess... seemed completely unaware that she was the dream's master and had never used her authority.

However, she estimated that even if she knew, she wouldn't know how to utilize it.

Right now she needed a large amount of magic power, to recover as much as possible to the level in reality, to the extent where she wouldn't fear any threats.

If Cecilia could be by her side right now, it would save a lot of trouble.

Although in the dream she had gained a general understanding of the Little Princess's original world, there were still many things she didn't understand, like where the energy in this world was produced.

As long as it was energy, she could construct a reactive conversion Magic Circle to convert large quantities of energy into magic power for her use. She just needed a relatively long period of time to prepare and construct that Magic Circle.

"Um, can I ask, just who are you people?"

"Who are we..."

After considering for a moment, the Little Princess still sighed and loosened up, revealing the current situation to Chen Ze.

"I am the First Princess of Glaze Nation. She is the Empress of Scarlet Phoenix Nation. Well... if I had to say, we're outsiders from another world."

She didn't tell Chen Ze about originally belonging to this world. Otherwise, with Chen Ze's brain, he would definitely connect her identity with Xu Hanhai.

Although she used to be Xu Hanhai, Xu Hanhai was already dead. She was Mo now.

"From another world? Wait, my brain is a bit muddled..."

Taking a minute to sort through his thoughts, Chen Ze raised his head again.

"So that means you, including this Miss Fei and that Miss Yu Xi, all came from another world?"

"Mm."

Chen Ze glanced at the Little Princess.

She's lying... So it seems not everything is true.

But specifically, he was too lazy to think about it. This matter had already completely exceeded his responsibilities, and besides, right now they held the power of life and death over him. How would he dare to keep asking questions?

He wouldn't dare spread this matter around either, although he really...

"So what are your plans now?"

"I don't have any particular plans. I just want to establish a foothold and live properly."

Other things aside, the main issue was still the Empress's side...

"I need energy, the more the better."

This... he obviously couldn't satisfy, at most he could just offer a suggestion or something, like the nuclear wastewater from a certain island nation containing large amounts of energy.

Well... nuclear radiation itself was also a type of energy!

As for what outrageous things might be done if they went to that island nation, that wasn't his concern!

Maintaining order and justice didn't mean one had to sacrifice their own life.

If it really required sacrificing his life, he couldn't just say he'd really give up. He also needed to find a balance point between justice and his own life.

He didn't want to die young yet. He still had attachments.

"Princess!"

Maid Xiao Xi kicked the door open with one foot, only to see the scene of the Empress and Little Princess sitting together on one stool.

The explosion sound earlier, didn't that mean they had started fighting? She had been thinking of prioritizing getting the Little Princess to retreat, but now?

"Xiao Xi, don't worry. The problem has already been resolved... probably?"

......

......

"So, Old Chen, why did this trip take you so long? And you ended up so disheveled?"

"Got hurt by accident while looking for someone."

Chen Ze pulled up his sleeve to cover his wound.

If he revealed this matter to others, the outcome would most likely be... he'd be done for.

Talking about laws with people who just crossed over from another world, that was complete nonsense!

Probably only that Miss Mo was relatively easy to talk to and reasonable. As for the rest, whether it was the maid beside Miss Mo or that Empress from another world, it was hard to say!

"Where did you go to find people?"

"An abandoned factory. Just accidentally fell from upstairs."

"Alright then."

Since Chen Ze had said so, he couldn't keep asking. Pressing further would be impolite.

Maybe after finding the person, that Miss Mo had taken a special liking to her? (mist)

......

On the other side.

The Empress returned to that familiar bedchamber. Although this was constructed within a dream, it had almost perfectly recreated the appearance of her real bedchamber.

"Not bad at all~"

"Heh..."

The Little Princess rolled her eyes at her, then began asking:

"You actually did lose your memory before, didn't you?"

"Who knows? Maybe I was just teasing Mo?"

To this, the Empress didn't give a direct answer, but the Little Princess had guessed about seventy to eighty percent of it.

As expected? Due to unknown reasons, she directly lost her memory, only retaining memories from before she ascended the throne, then later was stimulated into recovering her memories...

Come to think of it, she had also lost some very important memories due to unknown reasons. She wondered how the Empress was stimulated into recovering her memories.

"Mm? Oh right, Fei, do you have a way to help me recover my memories?"

"No."

The Empress replied expressionlessly.

Well... if she answered like this, then there was a way, she just didn't want to restore them for her. But what the reason was remained unknown.

Just what was the Empress hiding from her that she didn't want to tell her?

The Empress refused to tell her, and it seemed she had no way at all...
