Jun Qingyu took out his light brain and contacted Shi Kaixin.

[Immediately notify everyone who returned on the battleship to enter the medical pod for an examination. They are to release their mental energy during the examination and send me the reports generated by the medical pod.]

Shi Kaixin: [Roger!]

Putting down his light brain, Jun Qingyu frowned as he said, “It seems to me that those individuals have impure intentions.”

If the test reports of the others also had that unknown substance, it was certain that this was that team’s doing.

Furthermore, one’s mental energy was generally not released when tested by the medical pod. If it wasn’t for Jun Qingyu’s request, the medical pod would not have been able to detect the existence of an unknown substance.

Without his knowledge, the spring water had treated his mental energy and eliminated impurities that may have surfaced before they were entirely purged.

This was why there was a situation where mental energy was dispersed.

If there was no such thing, then the unknown substance would have been there forever, something that anyone would say was no good, and there was no telling what the consequences would be.

Jun Qingyu pursed his lips, “Leave the matter with Planet M to me, those of you with mental energy should stay away.”

The number of unimaginable experiments was increasing, who knew what problems would arise afterwards?

“Ok.” As he observed such a serious-looking little fish, Fu Yuanchuan consoled, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Jun Qingyu thought for a moment and asked, “Did you notice anything wrong before?”

“I remember you had a cough before, was it a cold?” This was a fleeting event, if it hadn’t come to mind now, Jun Qingyu would have nearly overlooked it.

“…It could be because of the low temperature.”

“Oh, shut it.” Jun Qingyu didn’t buy it, “You noticed something wrong, but you dismissed it as a common illness? Or…you’re not very well to begin with, and you think it’s normal?”

“How could that be.”

“Sure enough.” Jun Qingyu became more certain of this when he heard his words, “Apart from your mental energy, where else are you feeling unwell?”

Fu Yuanchuan explained, “It hardly qualifies as unwell. The damage from the experiment is irreversible, so even if there is not much problem with my mental energy, there will still be some side effects on the body itself.”

“It’ll be fine with recuperation at regular intervals in the medical pod.”

This was indeed nothing serious for him compared to Yaoyao, who was weak in health and could only rely on desserts and spring water to live on, and the other test subjects that lost their lives in the experiment.

It was nothing more than entering the medical pod regularly and Fu Yuanchuan’s condition was already considered quite good.

This time, the unknown substance was concealed. When he perceived something wrong, he classified it as his old problem flaring up, which was why he reassured the worried little fish.

It was not too late to discover the presence of the unknown substance.

“I am very aware of the situation of my body.” Fu Yuanchuan stroked the little fish’s hair and said, “During my time at the garrison, I was just too busy that I didn’t have the time to enter the medical pod. Honestly, since we’re not in a hurry, I’ll take me time to recuperate.”

Fu Yuanchuan kept emphasising that he was fine to comfort him. He didn’t want to worry the little fish because of his physical ailment. It was just like anaemia, he would be fine after taking his time to recuperate. It was nothing serious, but the appearance of the unknown substance this time seemed to have scared the little fish.

In addition, the self-detonation made it simpler for people to believe the situation was much worse than it actually was.

Jun Qingyu knew that he didn’t want him to worry. He held Fu Yuanchuan’s hand, he could treat mental energy issues but not physical ones and after contemplation, he said, “Starting today, you’ll go to the spring in my space to soak daily.”

“Ok.”

“Let’s put work aside for a while and talk about it once you’re well enough.”

“Ok.”

“Leave the Empire’s affairs to me…no, Shi Kaixin.”

As Fu Yuanchuan listened to the turnabout in Jun Qingyu’s words, he didn’t hold back his chuckle and said, “Will do.”

“You’re still laughing.” Jun Qingyu said, “You are definitely hiding someone else from me. I’ll investigate it myself, just wait for me to unravel it.”

Seeing that the little fish had a look like he was going to settle the accounts in the future, Fu Yuanchuan coaxed, “Be good.”

“Humph.”

Fu Yuanchuan said, “Pour me a glass of water.”

There wasn’t even a cup for drinking water in the room, and naturally, there was no warm water prepared. Jun Qingyu stood up and said, “Hold on.”

“Mhm.” Fu Yuanchuan watched as the little fish went out, “Slow down, take your time.”

“I know.”

After Jun Qingyu left, Fu Yuanchuan turned on his light brain with his face devoid of emotion.

That unknown substance had little effect and it was unnecessary to take it to heart.

However, it couldn’t be taken lightly now that the little fish was worried because of it.

Bringing up the conversation with Shi Kaixin, Fu Yuanchuan tapped the virtual keyboard to send out a command.

Shi Kaixin’s reply popped up three seconds later: [Yes!]

After sending the message, Fu Yuanchuan went downstairs.

Jun Qingyu was still in the kitchen and hadn’t gone out. He looked over when he heard a sound, “Why did you come down?”

“I felt fine so I came down to look for you.” Fu Yuanchuan hugged the little fish from behind, looked at the contents of the bowl and said, “You’re extracting juice?”

“Mhm, I even prepared a cup of spring water, you can drink it as normal water.”

He feared it would be tasteless when Fu Yuanchuan drank it, so he prepared something else.

Fu Yuanchuan took a sip of the spring water, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Jun Qingyu handed him the juice, “Take care of your health in the next few days.”

The Emperor of the Empire shouldn’t be very busy either. After all, those who should behave were behaving now, and there was nothing to do, so it was a good time to recuperate his body.

Fu Yuanchuan had no objection to the little fish’s arrangement, he only said, “Later on, Shi Kaixin will bring someone to move your things. If there’s anything you need to bring, I’ll help you pack it up.”

The irrelevant ones didn’t have to be taken, as they would come back later.

Most of the items he had personally sorted were the little fish’s.

Jun Qingyu took a bite of a tomato and asked, “What’s Shi Kaixin doing here? Moving things…Do we have to move to the palace?”

In addition to this, he couldn’t think of anything to pack.

“Yes.”

Jun Qingyu suddenly became dispirited when he heard that and stated ambiguously, “Can’t we live at home?”

Before, Fu Chengyu lived in his own home, not in the palace. He thought they could do the same.

Fu Yuanchuan didn’t have much of an attachment to where he lived. In the past, he used to guard the borders of the planet with his corps, and it was common for him not to return home for a few years.

However, the little fish liked living in the villa. Needless to say, the little fish’s opinion took precedence, and he said, “We will be back after the ceremony.”

The whole ceremony was held in the Imperial Palace and there were some essential things that were not available anywhere else.

The ceremony was not a short one. If they remained at the villa, the time taken to travel from the villa to there had to be factored in, and the fish might not rest well within a compressed time frame.

Therefore, it would be better to go earlier.

Fu Yuanchuan said, “Maybe you can find it yourself, or should I help you to pack?”

Jun Qingyu thought for a while and didn’t know what to bring, plus he didn’t want Fu Yuanchuan to overexert himself, so he nodded, “Okay, go get some rest after drinking, and I’ll go pack my things.”

There were some things that you can’t remember that were useful unless you see them.

 Fu Yuanchuan was used to his body being like this but still obediently replied to not worry the little fish, “All right.”

Once he sent Fu Yuanchuan back to the bedroom, Jun Qingyu kissed him, “I’m off to work, call me if you have any problems.”

“Mhm.”

With that, Jun Qingyu turned around and went out to the other rooms for a walk.

When he passed by the office, he remembered that the handwritten experimental data was still there, he simply went in and took out the paper-based data.

For the time being, this data was actually of little use. It was better to burn it or use other means to erase the existence of this document.

With this in mind, Jun Qingyu took out the papers and the grip ball in the drawer rolled out with the movement of the drawer.

Jun Qingyu readily closed the drawer but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of what seemed to be on the grip ball.

He had drawn a sketch on the ball before, just an outline, but now…

Jun Qingyu took it out and looked at it carefully. The outline on it was refined, much more refined than the previous one, and the overall look seemed a bit chibi.

No one but him and Fu Yuanchuan would come into the office, so he knew who had drawn it.

Jun Qingyu’s eyes irresistibly curved up and then he took the grip ball out.

There was a dedicated dust isolation area for displaying objects at home. Jun Qingyu opened one of those isolations, took out the crystal ball inside, and replaced it with the grip ball.

The angle was adjusted to reveal the little mermaid in plain sight.

He just put the crystal ball on a nearby table, he would find a suitable place to put it later.

Shi Kaixin had arrived with his men and was moving things downstairs.

It was extremely quiet, but the sound of footsteps was inevitable.

Jun Qingyu took one look and then retracted his gaze, and turned the isolation on.

Shi Kaixin came up and saw Jun Qingyu staring at the grip ball, then he asked, “Sir, do you need to pack this up?”

“There’s no need.” Jun Qingyu pointed to the crystal ball over there and said, “Find a place for it to be displayed.”

“Yes, sir.”

While packing, Jun Qingyu asked in the passing, “How are the examination reports?”

Shi Kaixin said, “They have all been notified, and some electronic data has been sent to my inbox, I’ll send it to you once I’ve consolidated them.”

“Good, please do it as soon as possible.”

—

After searching around, he didn’t have anything he needed to bring, primarily because he harboured the thought that they were coming back in a few days. The more he looked for it, the more he felt that he didn’t have anything he needed to bring.

Instead, he found some forgotten things in the house that should be disposed of and got rid of them.

A batch of people in the Imperial Palace had been cleared out and all of them, from top to bottom, had been replaced with Fu Yuanchuan’s own people.

Jun Qingyu had only been to the Imperial Palace a few times. He didn’t like big places very much, but fortunately, he only stayed for several days and went back soon after.

On the way, Jun Qingyu couldn’t help but ask, “How long will the ceremony last?”

There were videos of past ceremonies online with a specific time indicated.

However, considering that they were not just doing the ceremony this time but also a wedding, the total time would be longer.

When Fu Yuanchuan had first ordered it, he had given special instructions. He said, “Don’t worry, we’ll try to keep it as short as possible.”

Jun Qingyu sighed, “I’m afraid your body can’t handle it.”

He felt that Fu Yuanchuan had suddenly returned to his fragile state as a sick patient when they first met.

Fu Yuanchuan: “……”

The little fish appeared to take comfort in his statement and did not take it to heart when he reassured him that he was not affected and that there was nothing wrong.

Fu Yuanchuan was helpless and pulled the worried little fish onto his lap, “Really, I’m fine. Even if there is an unknown substance, I’ll be fine.”

“But your body…”

“There are also times when the test reports are not reliable.” Fu Yuanchuan’s hand on his waist moved and he nibbled on his ear, “Aren’t you very clear on how my body is doing?”
