Chapter 17: A Mei-Mei alert.
Chapter 17: A Mei-Mei alert.It was a slow news day, all that was being talked about in the nation was the space exploration team, what they had found after five years and the impact of their discovery. While it was great, people could not help switching to other TV channels in
"Which problem do you want to handle first?" she asked.
"None." The emperor raised his head and bellowed at the ceiling. "Especially not my aunt."
His aunt was married to the prime minister Chi Rui who also happened to be Mei-Mei's uncle and that made the princess Mei-Mei's aunt. It was not hard to guess on whose side she was on in this matter. His aunt was loyal to her husband first and the royal family second.
"Was anyone harmed in the explosion?" he asked.
The secretary shook her head. "The house was devoid of humans at the time of explosion."
"At least she hasn't killed anyone." Emperor Junjie muttered.
"Yet." The secretary pitched in with honesty and continued. "She hasn't killed anyone yet. I don't see Mo Liang sailing off into the sunset by the time this matter culminates. Do you?"
"Of course I don't." Emperor Junjie bit out. "I know that fool is heading off the cliff but I was hoping that to delay it and use him for at least a year. Half a year, minimum." He got up from his throne and started to pace from left to right. "After using him up, I was planning to personally hand him over to aunt Chi to do with as she pleases. Why can't she understand my side?"
"With all due respect emperor, she is a mother. You cannot expect her to choose the nation over her daughter in such a simple matter. You are the one making things difficult for yourself. There are other pilots, pick one and make him the face of the mission. Let the Jun's and the Chi's do with Mo Liang what they will." The secretary advised.
Emperor Junjie winced. "None of the other pilots have a national space baby."
The secretary shrugged, "Yeah well, it will soon be national space bastard, not baby."
The emperor sat down and groaned again, he couldn't let go of such a great chess piece. National space baby was such a great thing for the empire. Why did that baby have to be a product of cheating?
Sobbing sounds came from the mouth of the empire which made the secretary roll her eyes. She knew the emperor was not sobbing, he was just throwing a tantrum.
The emperor shook his head. "Issue a Mei-Mei alert, protect the national space baby. I refuse to surrender just yet."
