After Luan Qing Xiao's evidence was posted on Star Controls, everyone who had seen it was livid. Especially those who had bet on Luan Qing Xiao’s victory during Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Jun Jun’s match, they were even more furious.

    Countless people went to the Imperial Citizen's Government Tower to petition to take back Nie Jun Jun's honor of being the champion of the Imperial Mecha Contest. A cheating villain like him was simply not worthy of this award.

    Because of the large number of petitioners, the Cabinet quickly convened a meeting to discuss how to deal with Nie Jun Jun.

    All the officials, who had previously suggested that Nie Jun Jun join the Cabinet, all lowered their heads to minimize their presence, hoping the fire wouldn’t burn them.

    Nie Zhen’er had already told Nie Jue about Nie Jun Jun's scheme with conclusive evidence. As the king of the empire, although Nie Jue has compassion for his only brother Nie Xia, but if Nie Xia coveted his throne, this kindness wasn’t enough.

    Nie Jue had an unclear expression, "How does everyone think Nie Jun Jun should be dialed with?"

    The officials all knew Nie Jue's feelings for Nie Xia, so they all glanced at each other, not knowing what to say.

    At this moment, Nie Zhen'er stood up: "Father, a prince breaking the law is the same as the citizens committing a crime, not to mention that Nie Jun Jun is the prince's only son. Daughter thinks it is enough to punish the crime according to the law.

    Other officials were all secretly observing Nie Jue's expression. If Nie Jue wants to protect Nie Jun Jun, they certainly can't go against the king of the empire.

    Listening to Nie Zhen'er's words, Nie Jue’s gaze dropped as he announced in a clear voice that everyone present could hear: "If no one else has an opinion, we’ll just do what the Crown Heir proposed."

    When Nie Jue raised his gaze again, his eyes were sharp: "If someone has an opinion, they may put it forward."

    With Nie Jue already making it clear that he didn’t want to protect Jun Jun Nie, the officials would be stupid if they had any objections. A crowd of people hurriedly showed their support, ”King is judicious, the Crown Heir is wise. I have no opinion."

    Once the Cabinet meeting was over, the officials, who had been bribed by Nie Xia to nominate Nie Jun Jun into the cabinet, wiped the sweat on their foreheads and hurriedly stood up to leave.

    "Lin Yi Xuan, Fang Ming Zhi, Luo Tian Ze… … You all stay behind." The servant that served the King listed several names in a shrill voice.

    The faces of the few people stiffened as they tremblingly walked in front of Nie Jue and bent over to salute, "I wonder what business the King has left us for?"

    Nie Jue kept his face cold without speaking, while the sweat on the foreheads of the several people kept dripping down.

    Nie Zhen'er placed the records of their chat history with Nie Xia and the records of them accepting bribes on the table, "Read this before you speak."

    When the several people heard Nie Zhen’er's words, they all subconsciously turned to glance at Nie Jue.

    Nie Jue slammed down on the table, causing the printed records to bounce three times, which showed the strength Nie Jue used and how angry he was.

    The several people were so frightened that they quickly picked up the records and passed them down. After reading them, one by one they couldn’t stand steadily and collapsed to the ground from their legs weakening.

    Nie Jue had an unreadable expression, "Do you all confess your guilt?"

    "We plead guilty, we’ll confess!"

    The evidence was all here. Would them not pleading guilty do anything at all?

    The palace guard recorded the confession of the several people, then walked over to drag them out of the hall.

    When everyone left, Nie Jue sighed,: "I didn't expect Nie Xia would covet the throne and even cheat to help Nie Jun Jun win the Imperial Mecha Contest to help him build momentum."

    "Zhen’er, I was wrong."

    Nie Zhen'er came over to lightly pat Nie Jue's shoulder and comforted, "You were just an older brother who is protective of his younger brother, the person who is in the wrong is Nie Xia."

    Nie Jun Jun couldn't keep his title as the champion of the Imperial Mecha Contest. Not only that, but the Nie Xia family was swiftly sent to the most remote and barren planet in the Empire. Nie Xia couldn’t accept it and wanted to see Nie Jue, but was rejected by Nie Jue.

    With Nie Jun Jun cheating the entire way, they don’t know how many capable players were eliminated. For the sake of fairness, all the players who competed with Nie Jun Jun were directly promoted.

    Including Luan Qing Xiao, a total of nine people were re-qualified, and the new championship will be produced among these eighteen people.

    Eighteen into nine, nine into five, five into three, the three rounds were divided into three days, while the last day was the highly anticipated final.

    The auditorium, which was more than ten times bigger, was filled to the brim. Nie Zhen’er took Fei Jue and Nie Jue to watch Luan Qing Xiao's match.

    "Father, Mother, quickly look. Qing Xiao is amazing!" Nie Zhen'er excitedly held her parents' hands and shook.

    Fei Jue and Nie Jue glanced at each other and smiled at the same time.

    This was the first time that Nie Zhen’er approached them as parents, rather than as king and queen of the empire.

    Nie Jue sent a message to Fei Jue: Luan Qing Xiao is not without merit, Bian Rui Ling couldn’t make Zhen'er get this intimate to us.

    Fei Jue: Have you still not given up on matching Bian Rui Ling and Zhen'er together?

    Nie Jue: Depending on Luan Qing Xiao's performance. If she wants to be the crown heir’s partner, she must at least win a championship to barely be able to match up with Zhen'er.

    Fei Jue: She is only in her twenties… …

    Fei Jue: I have already promised her, as long as she gets into the top three in the Imperial Mecha Contest, I will agree to her being together with Zhen'er.

    Nie Jue: … … I don't agree!

    Of course, Nie Jue did eventually agree in the end, because Luan Qing Xiao easily defeated the other two opponents and won the championship of the Imperial Mecha Contest.

    When the system announced Luan Qing Xiao had won the championship, the entire audience was boiling.

    They stood up and screamed, excited smiles appearing on their faces.

    Nie Jue was infected by them. His stern face also couldn't help but smile.

    After the Imperial Mecha Contest, Luan Qing Xiao was specially hired by the Imperial Ministry as a first-level mecha master with an annual salary of eight million credits. The Yin Xiao she developed could only be operated by the military members after its mass production.

    She was like a legend, suddenly rising from the basement to the Lanser Palace.

    While everyone was still talking about whether Luan Qing Xiao's specific strengths were actually played out in the Imperial Mecha Contest, the selection of the Crown Heir’s partner began.

    The selection of the Crown Heir’s partner wasn’t open nor fair, because Luan Qing Xiao has been appointed as the Crown Heir’s partner internally. However, since there were so many young talents who have signed up to participate, the process still had to be gone through.

    On the first day, the young talents gathered at the Lancer Palace Racecourse where the Crown Heir personally selected ten candidates that suited her beauty standards.

    The ten people who were going to be selected were all set by Nie Jue in advance, including Bian Rui Ling who he had previously chosen for Nie Zhen'er.

    After looking at the people on the field one by one, Nie Zhen'er gave the names of those people to the palace guard and left the racecourse.

    Once the results of the ten came out, the others left Lancer Palace in disappointment.

    Nine men and one woman, everyone else stared at Luan Qing Xiao with scorching eyes, wondering why she was here and why she was able to advance. Yet, no one knew each other and for a while, nobody worked up the courage to talk to Luan Qing Xiao.

    Bian Rui Ling hesitated before walking to Luan Qing Xiao's side and whispering, "You really came."

    Luan Qing Xiao responded, "I am Zhen’er's lover, of course I would come."

    Bian Rui Ling pursed his lips, "You’re a woman… …"

    "What about a woman?" Luan Qing Xiao looked at Bian Rui Ling with daggers in her gaze.

    Bian Rui Ling: "... … Sorry, I didn't mean that, I just… …"

    Before Bian Rui Ling had finished speaking, someone came to organize them to head to the next place.

    Luan Qing Xiao turned around and left.

    Bian Rui Ling dimly stared at Luan Qing Xiao's back.

    It would be nice if he could have gotten to know her earlier… …

    Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.

    Next, the ten people passed a series of tests, which did not end until the evening.

    The final result will be announced on 2/14, the Empire’s Valentine’s Day.

    The gossip-loving citizens of the Empire expressed they would definitely watch the live broadcast that day.

    On Valentine's Day, snow fluttered in the sky and soon the ground was covered with a layer of white snow.

    In the end, only three of the ten people remained, the Empire’s general Bian Rui Ling, the youngest son of the Empire’s Finance Minister, Fang Huai, and the Empire’s top Mecha master Luan Qing Xiao.

    They stood in place, while the servants brought blindfolds for them to cover their eyes and were told whose hand Nie Zhen’er was chosen to hold would be the destined partner of the Crown Heir.

    Knowing that he had no hope, Bian Rui Ling turned to look at Luan Qing Xiao's one last time and indifferently put on the blindfold.

    Fang Huai's hands trembled nervously that it took him three tries to put on the blindfold.

    Luan Qing Xiao put on her blindfold, trying to restrain her excitement, with darkness in front of her.

    Soon, familiar footsteps sounded, approaching Luan Qing Xiao one by one as well as stepping into her heart one by one.

    A soft little hand held Luan Qing Xiao's hand.

    Nie Zhen'er took off Luan Qing Xiao's blindfold and said with a smile: "Happy Valentine's Day~"

    Luan Qing Xiao looked at Nie Zhen'er earnestly, her eyes flushed red slightly, "Happy Valentine's Day."

    The citizens of the Empire, who watched the live broadcast, almost choked over after eating such a huge bite of dog food.

    "Zhen'er, I love you, marry me, okay?" Luan Qing Xiao raised Nie Zhen'er's hand and put it to her lips for a kiss.

    "I love you too." Nie Zhen'er’s arms circled Luan Qing Xiao's neck and proactively stood on tiptoes to kiss Luan Qing Xiao's red lips. An affirmative answer overflowed from her lips: "Okay." Let's get married.
