"Our reinforcements are also on the way." Guan You sent Yan Zhao the route of the Second Army's special team.

"We have to hold on for a while until reinforcements arrive." Yan Zhao nodded towards Miao Wenqi, "Xuanwu has the strongest defense. Captain Miao and I are at the front."

As soon as he finished speaking, he controlled Xuanwu to stand behind Suzaku and Qinglong, facing the ammunition coming from all directions.

Various mechas and aircraft launched battles in the sky. This number made Yan Zhao frown.

"No, we have to find a way. Captain Miao, you have to stand up first."

"Okay." Miao Wenqi, who was already exhausted, quickly opened the test tube and smelled Yan Zhao's blood.

Yan Zhao connected to all the communication satellites on Capital Star and took over the enemy's communication network in less than a minute.

"Attention, attacking units, the pilot of the spirit-level mecha you are attacking is actually the emperor of the empire and the orthodox heir of the Guan family. It was he who sent the fleet and ended the five-hundred-year war between insect beasts and humans."

"According to the edict left by His Majesty, as long as he does not die, the throne of the empire will not be passed on to anyone else. If you surrender your weapons and refuse to fight now, Your Majesty promises that no one other than the mastermind will be held accountable."

Lu Yunqi controlled the dragon tail to knock away a cannonball, and asked doubtfully: "Did your Majesty just promise not to pursue the responsibility?"

Guan You said calmly: "It's not too late to agree now."

Lu Yunqi: "..."

The intensive artillery fire gradually became sparse until it stopped completely.

Yan Zhao didn't expect them to be so easy to persuade, and asked his teammates in surprise: "My eloquence is so good?"

"Your eloquence is part of the reason, and the admiration of the Guan family royal family by the people of the empire is the bigger part." Lu Yunqi analyzed.

Not long after, Lu Pei's support troops also arrived, and the situation suddenly reversed.

It didn't take them much effort to incorporate the rebels and move towards the next armory.

"You are all tired. Marquis Lu will take over the rest."

After clearing the third armory, Guan You asked Yan Zhao and others to go back and rest.

"You're right, I do feel a little drifting." Miao Wenqi staggered out of Xuanwu's cockpit.

Yan Zhao's face was also white. Guan You raised his hand and touched his cheek with his fingertips.

"Can you just go to the Imperial Garden and rest?"

Yan Zhao was a little worried: "Is He Yexuan living there now?"

"He lives in another palace." Lu Pei said, "As far as I know, nothing in the Imperial Garden has been touched."

Yan Zhao nodded: "Then I'll go there first. At least I can comfort him."

At this time, the morning light has faded, and the Privy Council has probably received the news of Guan You's return.

By the time Yan Zhao and the others arrived at the palace, the royal guards had already placed He Yexuan under house arrest in the palace where he lived.

"Mr. Yan, I'm sorry, you can't go in. You have to wait for His Majesty to announce his decision."

"I won't go in, I'll just say a few words outside the door." After Yan Zhao finished speaking, he stepped onto the steps in front of the palace.

"Yexuan, I'm Yan Zhao. I'm here to tell you, don't be anxious or do anything."

A muffled voice came from the hall, as if He Yexuan's face was buried in the quilt and he said: "I know, thank you, Yan Zhao."

Lu Yunqi shrugged: "It doesn't sound like his mood is too broken."

Yan Zhao was not sure, so he asked the guards to inform him if there was anything unusual.

"No problem." The royal guards agreed and said excitedly, "Mr. Yan is finally back, and even Brother Lu is here. It's great."

Yan Zhao didn't expect that he would be so popular in the palace. He opened his eyes wide and nodded, saying, "Thank you."

Lu Yunqi lived in the palace during the time when Yan Zhao disappeared and was already very familiar with the royal guards.

On the way back to the Imperial Garden with Yan Zhao, he said, "I think they have regarded you as another owner of the palace."

Yan Zhao didn't know whether this was true or not. He only knew that the same second he touched the pillow, he would fall asleep in a faint state.

It only took three days for Guan You to take over the entire capital planet again.

He Yexuan has been under house arrest, but Guan You had a face-to-face conversation with him and promised him that he would be called together when He Guici was interrogated in the Emperor Garden.

Yan Zhao didn't want to participate in this interrogation, as he felt it would be an embarrassing scene between the royal in-laws.

"Both Marquis Lu and Marshal will come."

Since Guan You successfully returned to the throne, Yan Zhao has not left the palace and has been living in the side hall to accompany him.

"Then I won't go either." Yan Zhao slumped on the sofa and threw a piece of popcorn into his mouth. "If you have any important information, just come back and tell me after the interrogation."

"Okay, then you can order whatever you want to eat."

Guan You did not arrange any servants for Yan Zhao, but there was always someone on standby in the corridor outside the side hall.

The interrogation lasted a whole day, and it was only for He Guici. The interrogation of his party members was handed over to the Ministry of Security.

Yan Zhao went to bed on time, and it was not until the next day that he heard the interrogation process.

"So, he will be sentenced to exile?"

"Well, it's on the deserted planet where we once worked."

The death penalty exists in the empire, and rebellion also falls within the scope of the death penalty. But because of the existence of the emperor, Guan You can intervene to change the judgment of a certain case before it is finally executed.

This is similar to the dual monarchy of ancient Earth. Even at the most developed time, there were several countries on Earth with this system. The day-to-day management of the country is determined by the parliament, and there is also a complete legal system.

However, the monarch has great real power and can decide major domestic affairs of the country when he wishes.

Yan Zhao had no objection to Guan You, but if the succeeding monarch was a fool, the country would be in endless chaos.

The Guan family has been able to maintain its rule for 500 years only because their genes have been improved, making each generation smarter and stronger.

"So I didn't sentence him to death. Not only because he was the consort, but also because it was the royal family's fault that something like this happened."

After investigation, Guan You found that most of the high-level officials involved in the rebellion were people who had climbed up from the grassroots.

"I think being a miner might be a bigger punishment." Yan Zhao said matter-of-factly.
