Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

Chapter 300 The Beauty and the Boss's Love and Career (53 words)

Lin Yu swallowed hard, a gurgling sound coming from his throat. He mustered his courage and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"Second Prince, I just... just want to know the truth. Everyone has the right to know."

For so many years, the whereabouts of the eldest prince have remained a mystery, inevitably leading to speculation. I mean no harm; I simply hope the royal family can provide an explanation.

The second prince gave a slight, cold laugh, a laugh that carried a hint of disdain and a touch of helplessness:

"the truth?

You've only seen the surface and jumped to conclusions. My elder brother has been working tirelessly for the safety of the nation for many years.

Those so-called mysterious industries were nothing more than a covert preparation for border defense and to resist foreign invasion.

As for me, I have been wandering abroad all these years, experiencing life and death, living a life of hardship and sleeping in the open, and brushing shoulders with death countless times, all in order to find the lost royal secrets, which are the key to protecting the country.

How could you, who live in comfort and speculate, possibly understand what we have done?

As he spoke, he gestured to the woman and man beside him.

"These two are my close friends whom I met while I was wandering around."

During my most difficult and desperate times, they stood by me, never abandoning me, and worked together to protect the country's secrets.

Without them, I might have died far from home long ago.

The woman nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, her voice clear yet carrying an undeniable power:

"The responsibilities and duties of the royal family far exceed your imagination."

We work silently behind the scenes for the peace and security of the nation, yet you come here to question us without cause; it's truly disheartening.

The burly man also said in a deep voice:

"Unfounded doubts will only shake the foundation of the nation."

While you enjoy peace and tranquility, have you ever thought about how many people are risking their lives for this peace and tranquility?

The Second Prince's words were like a series of heavy bombs, creating a huge uproar in everyone's hearts.

Those who had previously questioned the First Prince and the royal family now looked ashamed, lowered their heads, and dared not meet the Second Prince's gaze.

"This banquet was originally a well-intentioned gesture by my father and mother."

We wanted to bring all parties together to enhance communication and discuss the country's development plans, but your baseless speculations have ruined everything.

The second prince's tone carried a hint of disappointment.

The disappointment was like the frost of late autumn, sending a chill down the spine of everyone present.

"From now on, the royal family's decision-making may need to be more transparent."

But please remember, before you start questioning, think about what you have done for the country.

Don't just see the glory of royalty and ignore the hardships and sacrifices behind it.

Seeing the slightly somber atmosphere, the Empress stepped forward gracefully, her gentle and approachable smile returning to her face. She looked at everyone with loving eyes and spoke softly:

"Today's banquet is meant to bring everyone together to share our feelings and look forward to the future."

Let's not let a small misunderstanding spoil everyone's fun.

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the Second Prince, her eyes filled with both heartache and pride.

"My children have traveled far and wide for the country, enduring hardships and dangers, sleeping in the open and teetering on the edge of life and death."

We see their dedication and sense of responsibility, and it pains us deeply.

Then, the Empress turned her gaze to Lin Yu and said softly:

"And you, being able to bravely speak your mind in such a setting is enough to prove that you care about the country. This enthusiasm and courage are equally commendable."

Her words were like a gentle spring breeze, instantly easing Lin Yu's tense nerves and bringing a look of gratitude to his face.

Immediately afterwards, the Queen gracefully raised her hand, signaling the waiter to bring out the wine.

She picked up a glass herself, raised her arm high, and said in a clear and loud voice:

"Come, let us toast to the prosperity of our nation, and to the unity and cooperation of the royal family and its subjects!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and the banquet hall echoed with the crisp sound of clinking glasses, gradually warming up the atmosphere.

The musicians understood the Queen's meaning and played cheerful and melodious music, the soothing tunes echoing throughout the hall.

Li Que spotted Yun Suisi in the banquet hall at a glance.

The moment their eyes met, his imposing aura vanished, replaced by an undisguised guilty conscience, his eyes darting around as if he had done something wrong.

He subconsciously pursed his lips, and his steps became somewhat heavy.

He gently touched Ran Cang beside him, his voice unconsciously lowered, tinged with unease:

"Ran Cang, you usually have the most ideas and your mind works faster than anyone else's. Why don't you go over and have a chat with the boss first?"

"You're quick-witted; you'll definitely be able to cover up what we're keeping from him."

Upon hearing this, Ran Cang's brows furrowed instantly, and he quickly waved his hand, his face full of resistance:

"Li Que, don't you dare throw this hot potato at me!"

When I get nervous, my mind goes blank and I say the wrong thing. Not only can I not recover from that, but I also add fuel to the fire and make things even worse.

"You and your brother are very close, why don't you go and sound him out first?"

Having met with setbacks at Li Que, he then pinned his hopes on Chang Sheng:

"Chang Sheng, you have such a good way of speaking. You can always make people happy when you talk to them."

Go talk to the boss and tell him that we had no choice but to keep it from him because the situation was critical and we didn't have time to discuss it with him.

You can definitely persuade him and calm him down.

Upon hearing this, Changsheng gave a wry smile and shook his head helplessly.

He even subconsciously took a step back, as if that would keep him away from the impending "storm":

"I wouldn't dare take on this job. If the boss really gets angry, I won't be able to handle it."

You were the one who initiated this from the beginning, so your explanation will be the most convincing, and he'll definitely be more willing to listen to you.

The three of them stood there, pushing and shoving each other, none of them daring to face Yun Suisi first.

Yun Suisi seemed to notice the strangeness here and turned his gaze over.

Li Que felt a sudden tightness in his heart, as if an invisible hand had gripped his heart.

He knew there was no way to escape it.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and forced an extremely unnatural smile.

That smile was more like a grimace, and then, steeling himself, he walked toward Yun Suisi.

Ran Cang and Chang Sheng followed behind with helpless and uneasy expressions.

Every step I took felt like carrying a thousand-pound burden, and I silently prayed that the meeting wouldn't be too awkward.

Li Que walked towards Yun Suisi step by step, each step feeling like he was stepping on soft cotton, unsteady and without any confidence.

His palms were already soaked with sweat. Occasionally, he would steal a glance back and see Ran Cang and Chang Sheng looking like two guilty little followers, their faces clearly saying, "This has nothing to do with me."

Finally, Li Que steeled himself and walked up to Yun Suisi.

He forced a forced smile that looked more like a grimace, scratched his head, and said:

"Boss, it's been a long time!"

Yun Suisi crossed his arms, a faint smile playing on his lips, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, fixed on Li Que, and said in a deep voice:

"haven't seen you for a long time?

I think you've been avoiding me for a long time.

"Tell me, what are you up to behind my back?"

Li Que's smile froze instantly, his eyes darting around in a panic, and he subconsciously cast pleading glances at Ran Cang and Chang Sheng.

Ran Cang coughed lightly, steeled himself, and stepped forward, his face plastered with a fawning smile:

"Boss, as you know, there are some things we really can't control."

This mission is too tricky, full of traps. We're afraid that telling you will only drag you into danger.

Then we would be committing a grave sin.

Yun Suisi raised an eyebrow and raised his voice a few decibels:

"Not in control of one's own destiny?"

I still consider us brothers who would go through thick and thin together, and that we could face any difficulties together.

Now look what you've done to me!
