Because of his age, and he has been lingering on the sick bed for some time recently, the man''s voice is extremely hoarse, as if it was squeezed out of a gap. Duan Hengye has always felt that aging is an inevitable process. No matter how advanced the current technology is, no one will escape thews of nature.


    Natural aging is also a gentle and elegant process, but the man in front of him probably has nothing to do with these two words.


    He enjoyed the glory and wealth throughout his life, but he also contracted many bad habits in the process. Duan Hengye thought that if he were young, this duke would definitely be considered an upgraded version of the upper Duan Hengxing.


    It may be difficult to see clearly when I was far away, but now I can find that the skin on the face of the old man is very poor. Thatyer of flesh floats on the bones, like an old tree bark that has just survived the cold winter. Although I have seen him many times before, I already have this person''s looks in my memory. But after seeing the worse Duke with his own eyes again, Duan Hengye couldn''t help being surprised by the other party.


    However, Duan Hengye still remained calm on the surface, and did not reveal the emotion of thest second.


    The man lying on the hospital bed raised his eyelids again, and then gave Duan Hengye a tired look. After looking up and down for a long time, he slowly said: "When I first saw you, you were a child... At that time, you were identally affected and lost your memory. You really looked stunned."


    Many people on Interster know that Duan Hengye''s memory was lost after that experiment ident. After the Queen''s family adopted him, the first thing they did was to take Duan Hengye for an in-depth medical examination. When talking about this at the time, most people were admiring this noble family for taking care of the scientist''s orphans.


    However, only a small number of people know that the reason why they took Duan Hengye for a physical examination in the first ce was just to prove whether he really lost his memory.


    Just like what the man said, after a series of interster instrument tests, they quickly discovered that Duan Hengye had indeed lost his previous memory, but his understanding of mecha and other knowledge was not lost.


    Duan Hengye didn''t speak, and the person in the hospital bed continued: "Who would have thought that you are already the dean of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering..."


    Because he is now very close to the man, the mist of medicine surrounding the other party has also stained Duan Hengye''s side. Duan Hengye didn''t know what it was, only that it tasted extremely bitter. After standing there for a while, Duan Hengye felt dizzy.


    Although the old man was a standard interster dude when he was young, his knowledge of people was not bad at all. He saw some difort on Duan Hengye''s face, and then he smiled suddenly and said, "Actually, I called you over...I just wanted to see you." The man said, showing a kind of affection. Emojie.


    Duan Hengye didn''t know how he would react if he was not standing here at this time, but the original owner who was brainwashed. Justbining the things in his memory about this ce, Duan Hengye didn''t believe that the opposite person really just wanted to see himself.


    Although the man in front of him is the nominal head of this huge family, his life is obviously about toe to an end now. Living in such a family, Duan Hengye believes that even the head of the family is very likely to turn people into bait for the benefit of the family. It''s just...what are they doing by calling themselves here?


    Duan Hengye''s current rtionship with the royal family and the queen''s family is very delicate. He has already stopped the longsting consulting transaction with the opposite side. However, the connection between the two parties has not beenpletely broken. For example, they will still provide Duan Hengye with a special temporary antidote from time to time, just like reminding him of his identity.


    ...


    "Okay..." The man on the hospital bed once again beckoned towards Duan Hengye slowly, because the movement was a little big, the misty medicine around him was dispersed by him, and then some of them rushed towards Duan Hengye. Face. Although he held his breath in time, it is inevitable that Duan Hengye still inhaled part of the powder into his lungs.


    Due to being controlled by drugs all the year round, Duan Hengye''s physical fitness is not very good. After inhaling the medicine into his lungs, he uncontrobly gave birth to the desire to cough. Duan Hengye immediately turned to the side, and then coughed vigorously.


    "Sorry, Mr. Duke..." Duan Hengye turned around and said after he finished coughing.


    "It''s okay." The Duke on the hospital bed said with a smile, "You go to lunch first, you don''t have to be here with me this old man."


    Although he was eager to leave, Duan Hengye still pretended to refuse after hearing the other party''s words, and finally bid farewell to him and left the ward.


    Now that the news of the Duke''s serious illness has spread throughout the interster space, not only Duan Hengye, but other people who have a little touch with this family have also rushed to this in thest few days.


    Under the guidance of the attendants, Duan Hengye walked through the long and winding corridor to the door of the banquet hall. The overall arrangement of the stars belonging to the Queen''s family is very retro, even the wooden door of the banquet hall is rarely equipped with an automatic door opening device.


    After arriving here, the attendant who had been with Duan Hengye immediately stepped forward and pushed the door open. Suddenly, the noise in the banquet hall poured into Duan Hengye''s ears.


    Although the head of this family is still lying on the hospital bed, this does not prevent everyone from continuing to be cool in the venue. In recent years, the power of the royal family and aristocracy has declined more and more, and many side members of the family are also trying to cling to new powers.


    So after the pushers entered, Duan Hengye did not usher in the awkward silence he had expected, but was suddenly surrounded by a few half-baked faces he had seen before.


    The medicinal smell that hasn''t dissipated just now, coupled with the whispering sound in his ear at this time, Duan Hengye is almost two big. But fortunately, he was originally a "cold" person. The words of those around him passed through the left ear and the right ear. After a while, the uninteresting people also left Duan Hengye.


    This is a buffet banquet. Although Duan Hengye is a little hungry, he is not much interested in the food in front of him. After a while, he walked to a rtively secluded part of the banquet hall, and then took a snack from the table.


    After this journey, Duan Hengye already wanted to eat. With the silver fork in his hand, he gently slid the edge of the dessert, and after a while, a sweet to greasy taste radiated from the tip of his tongue. It''s not that Duan Hengye doesn''t like to eat sweets, but the sweetness is a bit too much... Seeing this, he can''t help but gently frowning, and then put the things on his hands on the hands of the robot that is responsible for recycling.


    This time there is no activity process for the Zodiac, and even Duan Hengye doesn''t know how long he will stay here. The lingering smell of medicine on his body, coupled with this overly sweet heart, made Duan Hengye''s mood even worse. Although Duan Hengye was barely familiar with this genus star, Duan Hengye didn''t know where he should go without anyone informing of the next step. So when he thought that he might stay on this for a while, Professor Duan once again walked to the table and gently picked up the white porcin te with fruits.


    Although the presentation of this te is very delicate, it doesn''t contain much.


    Just as Duan Hengye picked up the award te gently, a sound suddenly came from behind him. "Professor Duan, good noon."


    Duan Hengye''s hand paused. He was very familiar with this voice, but he couldn''t figure out who it was for a while. Although he didn''t want to talk to anyone at this banquet, Duan Hengye politely turned around after hearing someone calling him.


    The navy blue was wearing a ck bow tie. Duan Hengye didn''t expect that the person who called himself behind him would be Wen Mujia. Speaking of which, I haven''t seen this "former rival in love" for some time.


    "Good noon, Mr. Wen." Duan Hengye also said to the other party.


    With a half empty wine ss in her hand, Wen Mujia walked towards Duan Hengye with a smile. For people like him, there are inextricable connections between the family and various noble families. Therefore, after removing the surprise at the first moment, Duan Hengye was not surprised how Wen Mujia appeared here.


    Duan Hengye remembered that it seemed that thest time he saw Mu Jia, the other party deliberately set up a small game, wanting to cheat himself. But now, looking at Wen Mujia''s expression and reaction... it was as if that incident had never happened. Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Duan Hengye made a simple greeting like Wen Mujia.


    Wen Mujia nced at what was in Duan Hengye''s hand, and then asked, "Howe Professor Duan eats this at noon today?" Although he is not a member of this family, Wen Mujia has the temperament of a host in his body. I saw the man tilted his head lightly and smiled at Duan Hengye, and then continued to say to him in a joking tone: "If you want to eat only these, everyone should spread it out again."


    "..." Duan Hengye really couldn''t see it at all, Wen Mujia asked himself what he meant to say these words. However, as a person who is afraid of trouble, he still chose to use actions to block the other party''s mouth at the first time. Duan Hengye gently picked up a small piece of freshly grilled steak from the small table beside him, and then said to Wen Mujia, "Thank you for your reminder."


    Wen Mujia didn''t seem to expect that Duan Hengye would actually act so directly. He couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows, but he didn''t say anything.


    Regardless of the taste of the steak, it smelled really good. When the meaty fragrance came, the medicinal smell around Duan Hengye that had not disappeared was also offset a little. But Duan Hengye soon discovered that there was blood in this steak.


    Duan Hengye and Wen Mujia stopped talking, but the other party didn''t mean to leave him.


    Fortunately, at this time, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open again from the outside. All the eyes of all the surrounding people cast their gazes over there in unison, and Wen Mujia was no exception. After seeing his movements, Duan Hengye couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then took advantage of this time to put the things in his hand aside.


    Because of peopleing, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet. Duan Hengye''s current ce is a bit remote, so after a while, he finally saw clearly that the person who suddenly appeared in the banquet hall was the queen of the Yetian Empire... From the moment the woman entered, the hall was A voice greeted her one after another.


    At this time, Wen Mujia also raised his ss again and looked in the direction of the person who came. Although this banquet hall belongs to the top aristocratic family, it is no bigger than the royal family and the military department. The locations of Duan Hengye and Wen Mujia were very remote, but they were still spotted by the queen.


    Although today''s dress is a bit simpler than when it was on the capital star, the dark blue dress worn by the queen is still very conspicuous against the dark formal dress in a room.


    Today''s event was a private event initiated in the name of the earl, but everyone who was invited to the event knew his physical condition. Although they didn''t feel anything in their hearts, facing the queen, they still pretended to be serious and sad. However, the queen herself seemed to be unaffected by her father''s illness. Before reaching Wen Mujia, the queen also raised the wine ss in her hand high.


    "His Royal Highness." After the woman walked over, Wen Mujia bowed her respectfully. After Duan Hengye recalled it for a while, he also said hello to the queen of the empire ording to her own identity.


    Just like thest time I saw Wen Mujia, the two were not very happy. Duan Hengye and the queen may be even worse... He once threatened this woman at a royal banquet. So seeing the other person''s eyes cast to him, Duan Hengye couldn''t help but feel a little nervous in his heart. However, on the surface, Duan Hengye did not reveal his emotions.


    As a person who was born in a traditional aristocratic family and became the queen of the empire. The woman in front of her was obviously good at disguising. Although her eyes were still sharp, her expression was well controlled.


    "Professor Duan..." The queen smiled and nced at her wine ss, and then said slowly, "You have been here since you were young, and your father has always raised you as his own child. Even when he was sick, I haven''t forgotten to remind us and call you toe and see him." What the Queen said was sincere, as if the old earl really had been thinking about Duan Hengye.


    ——No, maybe he is really thinking about himself, but the purpose is different from what the queen wants to express at this time.


    Duan Hengye hadn''t spoken yet, and Wen Mujia who was standing next to him couldn''t help but replied: "The whole interster knows that Professor Duan was adopted by Mr. Earl. Your husband is still caring about Professor Duan. It''s really impressive. Moving."


    Hearing this, Duan Hengye could not help but let out a silent "haha" in his heart.


    "Yes." The queen nodded and said to Wen Mujia, "Father is especially concerned about Professor Duan''s body. If it were not for his reminder, I might have forgotten to give Professor Duan a''present''." Although he didn''t say it clearly, Duan Hengye Both the queen and the queen knew that the "gift" in her mouth was a temporary antidote.


    Wen Mujia didn''t know what Duan Hengye and the Queen were talking about, but he felt sensitively that there was absolutely something in the words of the two.


    ... Seeing this, Wen Mujia suddenly said to Duan Hengye and the Queen: "I''m sorry, your Royal Highness, and Professor Duan. I was a little hungry when I came from elsewhere, so I just won''t bother you two to retell the past." After that, the queen nodded to him with satisfaction, and then Wen Mujia left the corner without looking back.


    Duan Hengye couldn''t help feeling a little funny when he didn''t want to stay too much when he saw the other party.


    The emperor''s back was watching Wen Mujia''s back with the wine ss, and after hepletely disappeared before her eyes, the woman finally turned her body around. She took a sip of her wine lightly, and then said to Duan Hengye: "Professor Duan, a while ago, presumably you didn''t feel very well?"


    The royal family did not know that Duan Hengye had already done a cloning antidote. ording to the frequency with which they sent Duan Hengye the antidote from time to time, the queen naturally came to the conclusion that Duan Hengye might not be doing well in the recent period. Of course Duan Hengye would not tell the other party what he had on his hands. After the woman''s voice fell, Duan Hengye did not directly answer her question, but instead asked, "Is there anything else?"


    Duan Hengye''s tone was not very gentle, but the queen was not angry this time. She shook her head towards Duan Hengye, and then said: "You have a good rtionship with Meng Jinhuai, and I will not obstruct it. But today I still want to remind Professor Duan again, no matter what, you must not forget your identity. Otherwise, we will not. It feels good, and you don''t feel good yourself. Right?"


    Duan Hengye fell silent, but in the eyes of the queen, his silence seemed like a tacit consent.


    Just listen to the woman continue to say: "Why don''t you think about it again. If you continue to cooperate, the royal family will not only abandon the past, but also give you a big gift."


    "Big gift?" Duan Hengye couldn''t help repeating it.


    "Yes," the queen said, looking up into his eyes, "the real antidote."


    It turns out that I am here waiting for myself today... I have to say that what the queen said is indeed very tempting for Duan Hengye.


    If she had said these words shortly before Duan Hengye entered the world, or before Meng Jinhuai invited Lan Jingchi to join the research institute, Duan Hengye might hesitate for a while. But now Duan Hengye is very clear that there is a pharmacy genius once specifically described in Lan Jingchi''s book, and the antidote is only a matter of time.


    But as for the royal family, Duan Hengye couldn''t say whether they had a real antidote or whether they had refilled themselves.


    Although he didn''t care what the queen said in his heart, Duan Hengye still showed a somewhat tangled expression on his face. After seeing his appearance, the queen felt a little bit more in her heart.


    "Why don''t you think about it again?" said the queen.


    Duan Hengye nodded slowly, and then cast his eyes to the ground in the distance. "Then I won''t bother Professor Duan." Upon seeing this, the queen smiled at Duan Hengye again and raised the cup and left here.


    After she left, Duan Hengye''s expression immediately returned to the state of iparably calmness before. Duan Hengye once again walked to the small table closest to him, and then slowly picked up a te of snacks that once left a good impression on him. In short, if the queen was by his side at this time, he would definitely be surprised by what Duan Hengye looked like now.


    There is no schedule foring to Zodiac today, but now Duan Hengye can guess it. In the afternoon, the queen will probably call herself away to talk in detail. Duan Hengye, who had decided to continue pretending to resume cooperation, breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart finally fell. Even the ordinary snacks on hand are pleasing to the eye a lot.


    But although I guessed it when I came, it will definitely not be easy today. But after a few minutes, Duan Hengye realized that this day was probably much more exciting than he had imagined before.


    Suddenly, the heavy wooden door of the hall was pushed open again from the outside. Although the quality of the wooden door was good, the people pushing the door were too rough at this time, and there was a harsh "prick" in the hall.


    Because of this sound, everyone looked at the door in unison. But before I could see it clearly, at almost the same time, the huge ss windows around the hall also burst open.


    ……What''s happening here?


    Duan Hengye immediately put down the things in his hand, and then gently touched the raised weapon on his wrist.


    Although I still don''t know which one is this, at least Duan Hengye knows that today''s "big drama" has finally officially opened.


    Duan Hengye quickly retreated to a more inconspicuous position. At this moment, there were walls on three sides behind him, and only the opposite direction could see the hall. In fact, when Duan Hengye walked toward this side just now, he had already observed the terrain. His current position is very conducive to the overall observation of the hall, but it is more difficult to be spotted by people over there.


    At the same time that Duan Hengye retreated here, dozens of people in ck poured in from the door and windows. There were not many guests in the banquet hall today. ording to Duan Hengye''s observation, there are probably more people in ck than guests...


    He slowly unbuttoned the cufflinks.


    At this time, the air in the hall stagnated, but this quiet state did notst long. Duan Hengye heard it after a while, and a sharp scream came from the other side of the hall. Although he couldn''t see the appearance over there for the time being, he would never admit that he was wrong. The owner of this voice was the Queen of the Yetian Empire.


    Immediately afterwards, there was amotion in the crowd over there. By the time Duan Hengye could see clearly, the queen had been struck by a gun and walked out of the crowd.
