Li Xingke was hurrying to Changxin Palace. The Head Eunuch had found him last night and agreed to his conditions. This was a matter of great importance and he had to inform the Crown Prince immediately.
When he thought of the greedy eunuchs who had taken out five million taels yesterday and their pained expressions, Dawnstar was secretly delighted. These eunuchs have taken so much from the people over the years. Now, they're only making you bleed a little. In the future, they'll take your lives!
In Changxin Palace, Liu Yu was holding a pen and writing something seriously. While eating all kinds of snacks, Celine, who was reading a magazine, leaned over curiously and asked,"What are you writing?" Liu Yu did not even raise her head and said casually,"Distinguish between my enemies and my allies."”
"Oh, I see!" Looking at the names on the paper, Celine ate a piece of dried persimmon in her hand and said sympathetically,"It's really not easy to be the Crown Prince. Speaking of which, shouldn't your Imperial Father be concerned about these things?”
After writing the last word, Liu Yu put down her pen and said,""That's right, but I still want to figure out some things myself. After all, I'm not one of those playboys who only know how to play and wait for my father to kick me out and inherit the family business!”
Celine looked at Liu Yu in surprise and sighed."Speaking of which, you're only seven years old! Are all the brats in the Chinese Federation like you?”
"Humph! How is that possible?" Liu Yu's arrogant nose was raised to the sky as she said disdainfully,""Why don't you ask around? I'm young and intelligent, a genius that few know about. Someone like me is one in ten thousand, a rare one in a thousand years!”
Seeing that Liu Yu was like a little swan stretching her neck, Celine said disdainfully,"No matter how talented you are, you're just a little kid. I don't know who hugged me and refused to let go when I slept last night.”
"You're talking nonsense. This prince has long passed that age. You must be dreaming. Moreover, I haven't wet my bed since I was two years old!”Liu Yu puffed out his chest and spoke of his great achievements manly. Then, he frowned and looked at Celine."Speaking of which, didn't Sister Mingyu arrange a room for you? Why are you squeezing into my bed?”
Celine looked at Liu Yu in surprise and said,"Didn't I do this to make it easier for His Highness to attack at night? With such a peerless beauty sleeping beside me, has His Highness not been moved?”
Staring blankly at Celine, who was smiling, Liu Yu suddenly slapped her thigh and said in frustration,"Why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been polite!”

"By the way, you've written so many names. Have you confirmed which ones are your enemies?”Celine asked casually as she looked at the rice paper on the table.
He picked up a pen and drew a big circle on the names of the eight eunuchs, saying,""On the surface, these eunuchs are our biggest enemy. But?" Liu Yu drew another line to connect the other names and said,"The cabinet represented by the Prime Minister should have collectively sided with the eunuchs. In this way, most of the people in the court are enemies!”
"Wow! Boy, your father is in a bad situation. Do you want to consider signing a contract with me? With power, you can help your father.”Celine rested her chin on her hands and suggested to Liu Yu with a smile.
Looking at Celine, who looked like she was cheating a child out of candy, Liu Yu said indifferently,"Indeed, it seems that Father is like a puppet. In addition, the local aristocratic families are powerful, and they openly obey the orders of the central government! It worsened his father's situation. But!" Liu Yu looked at Celine with a faint smile and said,"However, Father still holds some power in the Federation. I only discovered it after I conferred the title of Crown Prince.”
Celine, who was obviously interested in Liu Yu, raised her eyebrows and said,"Do you think your father has enough power to fight against those eunuchs and aristocratic families?”
Liu Yu leaned lazily against the soft couch and said with certainty,"You may not know this, but when I was building the four residences and six commanders for the Eastern Palace, my father gave this matter to my teacher and the Grand Commandant, and not to the Prime Minister like in the past. There was no need to talk about my teacher. Grand Marshal Zhao was my father's attendant when he was still the Crown Prince! This way, the Bureau of Military Affairs and the General Staff Department would definitely stand on his father's side.
After listening to Liu Yu's analysis, Celine looked at her with a complicated expression and said,"I didn't expect a little brat like you to be able to see through it so thoroughly! However, don't forget that just having an army is not enough. Your enemy controls the Federation's finances and the army's logistics! If they make a move on this, what will you do?”
"Of course I understand, and Imperial Father must have thought of this! That was why his father had been holding back and could only continue to wait for an opportunity.”Liu Yu sighed helplessly.
Just as they were talking, Mingyu knocked on the door and said,"Your Highness, Attendant Li requests an audience!" The two of them stopped talking. Liu Yu was surprised that the other party had come directly to his bedroom, so he said to Mingyu,"Sister Mingyu, let Star Carving in!"
Li Xingke carefully tidied up his clothes, which were slightly messy from the journey. Compared to the easy-going Zhuge Huairen, he was much more stubborn. Even though he and the Crown Prince were best friends, Li Xingke felt that the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects could not be slacked off at all. On the contrary, Zhuge Huairen was much more casual when it was in private! After obtaining Liu Yu's permission, Li Xingke solemnly walked into this spacious and luxurious room. Just as he was about to bow, he was pulled back by a familiar figure in front of him. She looked at Celine in surprise and said in disbelief,"Why are you here?"
Celine greeted him very naturally. We meet again, little sidekick." Li Xingke asked Liu Yu doubtfully,"Your Highness, why is this woman of unknown origin here?”
He saw that Dawnstar was ignoring him. Celine was a little displeased." Hey, hey, what are you talking about? What do you mean by unknown origins? I'm the Crown Prince's personal maid now, are you kidding me?”
"What? Are you serious?”Li Xingke looked at Celine in shock and said in disbelief.
"Of course," Celine said proudly."This was personally ordered by Her Grace.”
Seeing this, Liu Yu hurriedly explained," Star Carving, don't be nervous. Celine is one of us. Don't look at her unruly appearance. She was sent by Father to protect me."”Celine was very unhappy when she heard that and shouted,"What are you talking about? Do I look like I'm being unreasonable?”
Seeing Celine speak to the Crown Prince so impolitely, Dawn said unhappily,"Humph! His Majesty actually sent such an impolite person to protect His Highness, and it was even a foreigner.”Celine raised her beautiful eyebrows and said disdainfully,"What? His Majesty actually let such a boring person like you be a student attendant.”
"You…" Seeing that Li Xingke's face was flushed red with anger, Liu Yu interrupted the two of them and said,"I'm sorry.""Alright, stop quarreling. We're all on the same side. Don't hurt our relationship over a small matter!”However, Dawnstar still looked unconvinced."Your Highness, this subject cannot agree with this foreign woman, even if she was appointed by His Majesty!”"Hah! Who wants your approval, you little brat!”
Therefore, when people get along with each other, the first impression was really very important. It was obvious that the meeting between Dawn and Celine was not friendly! Liu Yu thought helplessly as she watched the two of them stare at each other like crows. However, he didn't expect Star Carving to have such heavy racial discrimination. He had to enlighten him. Thinking of this, Liu Yu said,"Star Carving, your way of thinking is biased!”
Hearing Liu Yu's words, Li Xingke asked in confusion," Why? Our ancestors also said that 'those who are not of the same race will have a different mind'. These barbarians are all people who are afraid of power but not virtuous. Your Highness, have you forgotten about the traitors in Oceania?”
Looking at the slightly excited Li Xingke, Liu Yu glared at Celine, who did not think it was a big deal and wanted to say something to fan the flames. She patiently advised," We can't just look at everything in Star Epoch. We can't deny everything just because of one exception. Besides, our Federation is a country made up of different races! If we follow your attitude, the Federation will fall apart sooner or later.”
"Your Highness, does this mean that we should sincerely accept the Outsiders?”Dawnstar was at a loss.
"That's not true either. Didn't I say so? We have to analyze everything from many angles. We have to listen to the words of those foreigners and observe their actions. She could tell if he was sincere or if he was hypocritical.”At this point, Liu Yu stopped and pointed at Celine."Let's talk about her! No matter how you look at her, Miss Celine is a beautiful, kind, pure, and loving person!”
The two of them stared at Liu Yu, who had an authoritative look on her face. "She's very kind?" Dawn asked uncertainly.”Celine muttered,"So I'm a pure person?
Although Li Xingke still had a belly full of questions, he still remembered the purpose of this. He took out the envelope in his arms and handed it to Liu Yu."Your Highness, last night the eunuch sent someone to contact me and they agreed to these requests.”
Liu Yu's eyes lit up. She opened the envelope excitedly and took out a beautifully decorated banknote. After counting the number on it, she beamed."These dogs really took out 5 million. Tsk tsk, I really want to know what their expressions are now.”
Celine took the banknote from Liu Yu's hand and looked at it curiously. She said blankly,"Is five million a lot?" "If you convert it to British pounds, it's equivalent to 25 million pounds!" Li Xingke said disdainfully.”
"Oh, how much is 25 million?”Looking at Celine, who had no feelings for money, Liu Yu smiled and said,"If you exchange this money for pizza, you probably won't be able to eat it for 100 years!”
Hearing Liu Yu's down-to-earth explanation, Celine instantly understood! He immediately said happily,"Ah!" He didn't expect these people to be so generous. He had to thank them properly when he had the chance.”
"That's right! If there was a chance, he would have to repay them.”Liu Yu also laughed. However, this smile revealed a bone-deep coldness.
