Chapter 767 (2/2)

“Everyone, Ye Lang has just arrived and is quite tired. You can ask him tomorrow. Back to work, please!” said Zhao Yarou with a smile, dragging Ye Lang away. She did not want him to say she was the one who captured him and he refused to answer any questions.

However, from what just happened, she could tell that Ye Lang was actually quite interested in the things here. She believed that if she kept him here for a while, he would not be able to help himself and start to research. At that point, he would tell them everything he knew.

That was why Zhao Yarou wasn’t worried about that. She knew that he was a politically neutral alchemist. He did not lean towards anyone, merely caring about his research.

If Ye Lang knew what she thought, he would be depressed at how well this madwoman knew himself.

It was true. Ye Lang thought that it was a crime to suppress alchemy research just for politics. This would slow down the advancement of civilisation as a whole. As an alchemist, he would not want that.

The balance of science and politics was a frequently debated topic on Earth too. Scientists would opt for scientific research to continue.

“Zhao Yarou, are you really that bored? Why aren’t you at the palace, what are you doing here?” said Ye Lang.

“I am working here, it’s the same as being in the palace,” said Zhao Yarou. Documents that required her attention could always be sent here. It was the same thing.

As for council meetings, she let the palace officials settle those among themselves and then inform her of their final decisions for her approval.

“Are you really going to stay here?” said Ye Lang.

“What’s the problem with that? We were here together for more than ten days before this, what are you afraid of?” said Zhao Yarou.

“Nothing, I’m just asking. I can’t ask questions now?” said Ye Lang.

“You can, of course you can!” Zhao Yarou held his hand. “Brother-in-law, let’s go back to the place from last time.”

“What did you just call me?” said Ye Lang, stunned.

“Brother-in-law! Am I wrong?” she asked curiously.

“You’re not wrong…” Ye Lang just nodded. “I’m just not used to it.”

“Actually, I think it’s more exciting like this, sister and brother-in-law together…”

“...”

“Haha…”

And just like that, she pulled him away…

“What did I just witness? Why is Her Majesty so intimate with Thirteenth master? And she laughed!” asked an alchemist, not knowing the rumours between them.

He had only seen her being cold and terrifying. He didn’t know she had a side like that.

“It’s very normal. Her Majesty treats him quite differently, I heard they have some sort of secret relationship between them.”

“What relationship?”

“Not the normal brother and sister-in-law kind, of course.”
