In early August 4414, Duomei Star Field, Imperial Capital Star

"I owe you another great favor." This is the first sentence Bai Yu heard after waking up.

She glanced listlessly at Sophia who was sitting next to her, then suddenly found that several pipes were inserted into her arm. She was surprised, thought for a moment, and finally rolled her eyes: "What happened again?"

"Botox poisoning came for me." Sophia looked at Bai Yu and said.

Bai Yu glanced at the tube on his body again: "Poison? But why don't I use Crone?"

When Sophia heard this, she shivered clearly. Ola stood on the stereo projector on the bedside table and said, "Do you think I want you to suffer this? The Kron cabin was blown away."

Bai Yu suddenly widened his eyes, and suddenly became scared. She struggled to sit up, but she looked soft: "What happened?"

Sophia hurriedly pressed Bai Yu's shoulder: "Don't be excited..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yu was stunned: "What's wrong with your face?"

Sophia turned around in order to stop Bai Yu from moving. Bai Yu immediately saw that there were five clear and swollen finger marks on her fair cheek that could be broken. It must have been slapped. Well, the question is, she is the dignified queen of the empire and the ruler of half the universe. Who dares to slap her in the face! Bai Yu looked at Ola, and Ola grinned awkwardly without saying anything. Sophia gently stroked her face and said lightly: "It's up to your sake if I didn't kill me."

"So cruel? Who is it!" Bai Yu was shocked.

"Me!" A roar broke out as the door of the room opened.

Bai Yu tilted his head and saw it, and was shocked: "Sister! Why are you here?"

Bai Ling floated over in a black robe, and glared at Sophia with a fierce look under her hood. The latter immediately avoided her gaze. Bai Ling's eyes were cultivated, and even the cruel blood attacker dared to look directly at him. Most people could not afford it. Sophia was already calm.

"Anyway..." Before Bai Yu finished speaking, several people broke in outside, leading Lyon, followed by Samson and Li Des, and the last one was Roy who hadn't seen for a long time.

Samson opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, Kronte is ready again, and Old Jack is deploying safety measures."

Sophia nodded and expressed her gratitude.

"Oh my god..." Bai Yu exclaimed, all the retired people were here.

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands were placed on her neck and pressed on both sides of her neck: "Well, the lymph has been swollen, I almost scared me to death!" As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu's nose was twisted hard by Bai Ling.

Bai Yu looked at Bai Ling with a smile: "Isn't this okay?"

Next, everyone said everything, I said it all in one sentence, and Bai Yu stuck out his tongue. It turned out that the news of Bai Yu's return had not spread. Everyone thought that the feast prepared in the palace was for Sophia, and there was no problem with the food. However, someone applied a kind of improved botox on Sophia's special tableware. This modified bacteria no longer had to survive in an absolutely anaerobic environment like before. Its spores are thicker and survivable.

More tenacious. Although normal disinfection methods can kill some, they cannot be completely killed. Botox can only be activated after entering the gastrointestinal tract and quickly releases a violent neurotoxin - Botox. This toxin is different from a typical exotoxin. It is not released from the living Botox, but waits for Botox to die and autolysis before it can freeze. It is activated by the gastrointestinal tract's unique digestive protease, producing a highly toxic and quickly conquers the lymphatic tissue and brain nerves. All of this takes a certain amount of time.

Just imagine that when the food reaches the gastrointestinal tract and digest it for a few more minutes, you will eat more than that. Just as Bai Yu fell to the ground in poisoning, the secret room used to store Sophia and Bai Yu Ke's cabin was blown into ruins. The poisoner was meticulous and did not leak water. If Bai Yu had not blocked Sophia's gun, he happened to have only eaten a small bite of bread to dissuade Sophia from being wasted. The consequences...

Afterwards, it was found that the people involved in this matter were all old nobles of the Imperial Capital Star. Sophia, who had always been relatively tolerant of the old nobles, showed off her butcher knife and purged them on a large scale. Within 5 days, more than 10,000 people were slaughtered alone. None of the five royal families in the empire competed for the throne, including the Gilbert family, survived. In other words, the royal family was dead, and Sophia had a Kronic body. If anyone wanted to get the throne in the future, he could only kill the throne.

The retired soldiers knew that Bai Yu had escaped almost, but in danger, immediately threw all his belongings to Ora and came to the Imperial Capital Star. The reason behind it was simple. Old Jack equipped with antidotes and dialyzed Bai Yu and rescued her. Bai Ling, who knew that his baby sister and blocked the gun for Sophia, gave Sophia a loud slap when she saw Sophia. Even Lu Yisha, who was the captain of the Royal Guard, did not react. Fortunately, not many people knew about it, and the queen of the Empire was still in danger. As long as she did not go out before the swelling of her cheeks.

Luyisha didn't notice that anyone poisoned Her Majesty the Queen, nor was she able to stop the earth-shaking slap in time, so she simply reported and quit her position as Captain of the Royal Guard. It was not that she evaded responsibility, but that she thought she should find a more competent guard captain for Queen Sophia. Coincidentally, Samson's arrival created opportunities and conditions for her. Samson was a former Captain of the Royal Guard, with rich experience. After only one round in the palace, she immediately pointed out dozens of possible hidden dangers, and even restored the "drug tester" who Sophia thought was extremely cruel. The subsequent guard captain selected from the newly formed Royal Guard. In a few days, Samson identified 15 candidates. After investigation of his life background and various other tests, three were finally confirmed and handed over to Sophia to decide. Luyisha only needed to serve as a personal servant.

Bai Yu took half a month to get out of bed. Before that, she was in a coma. In the subsequent period, Bai Yu's defense work made Sophia a little jealous. Her advanced testing equipment, rich combat experience, constant crisis awareness, and flexible tactical style made Bai Yu safe. Sophia also benefited from this period. During this period, she suffered three assassinations.

The first time was a sniper. Sophia invited Bai Yu and the retired soldiers to sit on the open-air balcony and enjoy the scenery of the snow-capped mountains. Before the tea was ready, Li Deshi felt that somewhere in the rolling palace was staring at it. This was thanks to his long-term smuggling, he developed a keen sense of dangerous environments. A few minutes later, the Royal Guard shot dead a sniper in disguise according to the general position mentioned by Li Deshi.

The second time was interesting. Bai Yu and Sophia discussed the garrison of the Royal Fleet. Bai Ling just glanced at the Royal Navy officers who came to the meeting, and immediately pulled out a Royal Navy officer who looked nothing special. He found a simple laser pistol made of high-strength synthetic plastic from his sleeve. This pistol could only be shot twice, and the barrel would melt. However, this was enough for an assassin. Bai Ling stomped the navy officer's beautiful head in front of everyone: "Hidden things on the cuff, can you have experience than me?"

The last time was a bomb. Lyon, who had been dealing with metals and explosives all year round, said within a few seconds after following Bai Yu into Sophia's office: 'I smell the odor of mine-eating explosives.' Sophia was so angry that she had been in this office for nearly 40 minutes.

The Royal Guard soon found a bomb in the bookshelf. It was disguised in a generous book "The Great Episode of the Empire". This happened to be something Sophia would read frequently recently. A Royal Guard soldier, as soon as he opened the book, immediately held his breath and stood there motionless, not even dared to blink. The book was hollowed out, and half a kilogram of ore-eating explosives and a liquid metal balance device connected to the explosives were placed. Once the book was opened, the bomb balance device would be activated. As long as the person who opened the book would move, it would immediately explode. The bomb disposal team was holding the whole box.

When he was helpless, Lyon took a paper cutter from Sophia's desk, poked a hole in the balance device of the bomb, then poured the hot wax oil used by Sophia's stamp in, then squatted beside the unlucky Royal Guard soldier, and leisurely smoked the entire cigarette. After the wax oil solidified, the balance device lost its function. Under the stunned gaze of a group of people, he closed the book and threw it into the dangerous detonation barrel. Humming a small song and dragged it out. After half a minute, a muffled sound, Lyon slapped the flames on his cuffs and returned to everyone in a daze.

"I can't live this day anymore. It's the fourth time that Bai Yu has taken into account." Lyon said, looking at the burnt cuffs.

Li Deshi looked at the dangerous man who was still smoking in the distance and detonated the barrel: "How did you know there was a bomb there?"

"The mineral odor has a special salty smell, don't you smell it?" Lyon asked strangely.

Everyone shook their heads, and Roy smiled and patted Lyon on the shoulder: "It's not worth raising a dog that's not your fault."

Not only was Lyon not angry, he also took a pride look at the bomb dog with his head hanging down and was scolded by the instructor, and smiled and said in a low voice: "How long do you think Sophia can live?"

Li Deshi shrugged: "God knows, this week, the drug tester died again. How did they bypass my detection instrument and put the poison in."

Roy sighed: "These Royal Guards are just decorations. How many assassins will rush in with their weapons silly."

"I'm so surprised. The security loopholes have been filled. How did they do it?" Samson said depressedly.

"A while ago, do you still remember the officer who came to the meeting? It was the guy who was kicked to pieces by Bai Ling." Lyon said.

"Of course, I was startled at that time. Bai Ling took out the gun and shot it. I thought she was still angry and wanted to hit it..." Before Roy finished speaking, he glanced at Queen Sophia who was still singing in the office.

Lyon nodded: "Actually, when you enter the door, you will be searched at least once. Although the pistol is small, it is impossible not to be searched unless..."

"What do you mean is that there is an introvert?" Li Deshi thought for a while and said, "Take the things in advance?"

Roy nodded immediately: "It's hard to say. Think about that sniper rifle, maybe a small thing is possible. Such a long thing is too obvious when you disassemble it."

Samson shook his head: "This is Emma Palace. If you can't bring it in the main entrance, you can bring it in the back entrance? This is impossible."

Ola's robot suddenly flew over and said, "You really give Bai Yu a good face and praise him verbally. Oh, Old Jack asked everyone to go to the Royal Library, and he found the 'back door' you said."

Everyone was stunned and immediately followed Ola to the Royal Library. Bai Yu, Sophia and Luyisha were also notified and hurriedly walked there.

The director of the Royal Library is an elderly count. Looking at his expression, you can tell that Old Jack has caused trouble for him these days. He saw Old Jack laying a tapestry decorating the wall on the smooth and shiny floor, with various ancient books, even a blanket around it, and a coffee pot and a cup next to it. When someone came over, Old Jack didn't raise his head, but touched the coffee pot and said, "Let's go, another pot, remember, you have to grind the cinnamon, don't put the whole piece in, that's a waste of things."

Sophia glanced at the director, and the director sighed, took the coffee pot and went to add coffee. It seemed that he was not the first day he was ordered by Old Jack as a servant.

"Old Jack, what did you find?" Bai Yu asked.

Old Jack then raised his head: "Oh, you guys are here, come and see this."

After saying that, he searched through the pile of books on the ground and finally found a long file box. The box was very old and looked old. Old Jack opened the box, took out a roll of drawings from it, and spread it flat on the ground: "This is the secret book of the architectural blueprint of the palace. Look at these dotted lines here."

Everyone gathered in a circle and looked at it. Sophia suddenly said, "What does this mean? This should be my study. This dotted line passes through. Is it a pipe?"

Old Jack shook his head: "It's a secret passage. It seems that there are many secret passages in the palace. It is probably to protect the safety of emperors of all dynasties. It can almost penetrate all parts of the palace, and even leave the palace from the secret passage."

Everyone took a breath and Samson nodded: "This makes sense, but why have you never heard of it?"

Li Deshi pointed to one of the areas: "This is the imperial kitchen, right? I know how they put poison in, and there is no problem with the ingredients."

Old Jack stood up, moved his knees and waved his hand: "If I'm not wrong..."

After saying that, he pushed the bookshelf behind him, but the bookshelf did not move at all. After seeing his movements, Samson took a few steps back, looked at the bookshelf from a distance, and nodded: "It's really wrong, this bookshelf is thicker than the others."

"I'm secretly saying? There's something here too?" Bai Ling asked.

Old Jack looked at the bookshelf and nodded: "I'm older, there's still a little arthritis, and it feels very obvious when you have a cool breeze at night."

"Ola, scan it." Bai Yu said.

Ola's robot hand flew over: "Okay! Let's take a look... the third row, the red book on the left."

Roy walked over: "This book?"

"Well, take it out, if you can," said Ora.

Roy was picking up the books and trying to pull them out, but it was not a book at all, it was just a mechanism disguised as a book. There was a giggling mechanical sound, and part of the shelves in the bookshelf shrank in as a whole, and then sank, revealing a half-person-high hollow, and a cold wind blew immediately.

"Look, it's true, Her Majesty, this is the 'back door' that can enter your palace." Old Jack said with a smile.

"Oh my god..." An old voice behind him said in surprise.

Everyone turned around and saw the old library director who had lost his teeth, holding a pot of coffee, staring at the hole in the bookshelf in amazement.

"What? You don't know either?" Sophia asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, my family has managed this library for generations. I have been here for almost 50 years. I have never heard of it..." The library director did not dare to continue to say anything when he saw Sophia's expression.

"Luyisha, immediately transfer the Royal Guard to search for all secret passages and institutions according to the drawings." Sophia said.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Old Jack took the coffee pot, poured a hot cup, took a sip with satisfaction, and continued, "I also saw a very interesting story. Your Majesty, are you interested in listening to it?"

Sophia immediately smiled and said, "Of course, please tell me."

Old Jack didn't start telling stories, but instead carried a coffee pot and said to Sophia, "Come some coffee?"

Sophia frowned. When Old Jack prepared C. for himself, he didn't know that he never drank coffee, but just drank tea, but looking at the coffee pot, she immediately understood: "Of course, Luyisha, you and this count, go prepare some refreshments. I think His Royal Highness must be hungry too."

A group of people were all ghost-like figures, and I immediately understood that the old director would not know what happened later.

Lu Yisha nodded and led the old director away. Old Jack said: "I once saw an interesting story about the royal family, saying that there was an activity to wipe out the Emma Church many years ago. The pope was deposed by Emperor Emma, ​​the believers were suppressed, the church's property was confiscated, and the monks who remained in the palace were also expelled."

"I have an impression that this is indeed true. Later, Emma's religion had no pope, so he could only establish a pope." Sophia nodded and said.

Old Jack pointed to the hollow in the middle of the bookshelf: "But the story says that the diligent and studious monks of Emma can still go in and out of the Royal Library and read scriptures and ancient royal books. I think the emperor at that time would probably not allow them to enter and out of the Royal Library at will?"

Everyone understood that Old Jack was not for nothing. Even the mastermind was found behind the scenes. When Sophia attacked the palace at the Imperial Capital Star, the Emma Sect came out to make trouble. It would be perfect to help the old nobles who were trying to assassinate Sophia and transport some things in.

"Although there is no mark on the drawings, I can be sure that this secret passage can reach Emma's teaching..." Old Jack laughed halfway through his words.

"Central Cathedral!" Sophia snorted.

"Do we want to blow up these secret passages?" Lyon asked, pointing to the points on the drawings and saying, "As long as these traffic points are blown up, the secret passages will be completely destroyed."

Sophia pondered for a moment, then looked up at Old Jack, and shook her head: "It's better to lose your secret passage than to block it. Blow out the secret passage. The Emma Cult can penetrate from other places. It's better to keep it and monitor those who are close to opening the secret passage."

Old Jack nodded with a smile: "I will secretly control some surveillance equipment, you can find someone to stare at it."

Sophia thanked with a smile: "This way we will be prepared."

Everyone laughed. After a while, Luyisha asked the maids to bring refreshments. As for the old curator with the title of Earl, they were also invited to join them, and everyone started chatting.
To be continued...
