My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 651 - 219 Distress, Lost Contact_3

"Xixi, be good. Brother has sent someone to look for that rascal Ke Lian. We’ll find him soon." Chen Yin sniffed. He felt he mustn’t cry in front of his sister. If the two siblings were to shed tears, at least one needed to be strong, "You see, in the Blue Star Empire, our ancestors returned from the wormhole. It was just a trip to another timeline. Ke Lian is so capable, they will definitely come back."

Upon hearing this, although Du Xixi still felt uncertain, she sniffed and stubbornly looked at Chen Yin, her eyes full of expectant light: "Really?"

Chen Yin bit his lip: "Really! I never lie to you!"

A wormhole is actually a narrow tunnel in the interstellar universe, connecting two different timelines. After interstellar technological advancement, it’s possible to return from the other side of the wormhole. However, Chen Yin didn’t tell Du Xixi that this possibility was extremely slim. In the development of interstellar history to date, only one person from the Blue Star Empire has returned, and on the day they returned, they perished naturally...

Even if Ke Lian and the others really returned, the possibility of survival is almost zero.

Du Xixi’s emotions fluctuated drastically. Additionally, being pregnant and having cried like this must have worn her out. Soon, she was shedding tears while drifting into a dazed slumber.

The Rob lowered the hospital bed again. Chen Yin used a damp warm handkerchief to wipe Du Xixi’s face. After wiping away the tear marks, he sighed deeply and reminded the Rob to take good care of Du Xixi, then quietly stepped out of the ward.

Outside the ward, Miao Miao was approaching from afar with a lunch box. After closing the ward door, Chen Yin saw her and gestured for her to stop from a distance, signaling that she shouldn’t enter the ward just yet. Instead, they went together to a quiet, secluded corner.

"Is Miss awake?" Miao Miao’s face was full of concern. Du Xixi had been unconscious for three days, and with Ke Lian’s incident and disappearance, the blow to the Ke Family was immense.

Yiyi and Er Er were still very young, making it inconvenient for them to stay at the hospital with Du Xixi, so Ke Xing was at home looking after the children while Miao Miao stayed at the hospital to care for the unconscious Du Xixi.

In 2569, there was regular delivery of meals from the military hospital to the Ke Family, with the food made personally for Miao Miao to feed Du Xixi. Since Du Xixi was still unconscious, the food prepared was nutritious liquid food.

For example, today’s breakfast was porridge cooked to a soft mush, accompanied by minced pickled vegetables. Even an unconscious Du Xixi could effortlessly consume it.

Chen Yin and the Rob had come today. Chen Yin had postponed several urgent meetings to come over, yet no one criticized him for neglecting official duty for personal matters. The outside world was in an uproar over Ke Lian and the others, and there was no issue with him visiting a "heartbroken and unconscious" military family.

Moreover, Chen Yin hadn’t only come to see Du Xixi. Before arriving, he had also consoled the families of several other officers. Acting in his esteemed role as the Empire’s Majesty, he sincerely apologized for this incident.

However, there was considerable variation in the reactions of those military families. The composed ones, like Mo Feng’s parents, felt only a touch of sadness over their son’s incident, but mainly remained rational, expressing trust in their son and willingness to wait for his return.

The irrational ones, like Zhang Xiong’s family, reacted differently. He lost his mother in his youth, and his father, who never remarried, focused all his love on Zhang Xiong while managing the family business. Zhang Xiong’s incident was an overwhelming blow to Father Zhang, causing him to faint on the spot, reacting even more dramatically than Du Xixi earlier.

As Chen Yin discussed Du Xixi’s situation with Miao Miao, he felt a twinge of exhaustion. Frankly, though this wormhole incident was an accident, it was possible someone had taken the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Ke Lian and the others were among the Blue Star Empire’s most exceptional officers. They were dispatched to confront the Insect Clan and were suddenly drawn into the wormhole. While the Blue Star Empire’s military capabilities weren’t severely diminished, military morale and influence suffered substantially. The Minister of the Military managed to temporarily stabilize the anxious frontline by sending capable confidants.

Several empires with less-than-friendly ties to the Blue Star Empire have been making subtle moves, sometimes spreading ambiguous rumors online to discredit the Blue Star Empire, and other times organizing promotions of their own empire’s prowess, all intent on throwing the Blue Star Empire into chaos.

Fortunately, Chen Yin had always been meticulous about monitoring the Star Network, promptly detecting these "small movements," thus preventing any upheaval from arising. But what had happened had indeed occurred. No matter how hard Chen Yin and the others worked, they couldn’t influence everyone’s minds. The posts they published couldn’t pull back the stray thoughts and wild imaginations people entertained.
