This night was destined to be a sleepless night for many people, as they tossed and turned, waiting in fear for the sharp blade hanging over their heads that might fall at any time.

However, no matter how violent the wind and rain outside were, Shen Huizhou kept them out. Under Shen Huizhou's protection, Shen Mian continued to play carefree.

As usual, after he had dinner with his father, he lay on the carpet beside him, holding a cat toy in his hand, teasing the little black cat again and again. The little black cat, like an ordinary pet cat, had a special liking for the cat toy, jumping happily and chasing the cat toy in front of it.

The little robot squatted beside Shen Mian, watching the little cub that was giggling because of the little black cat, and a soft light appeared in its mung bean-like eyes. This might be the last time that this body of itss appeared in front of Shen Mian. The kind housekeeper Lin had already found the best bionic body manufacturer for it and customized a new body made of the best materials for it, which would probably be delivered soon. In the future, it will have a stronger ability to protect the baby well, and sincerely hopes that the baby can continue to be happy like this.

Shen Huizhou was still busy at his desk dealing with messages coming in from all over. In this complicated and messy work, he would occasionally take time out to look up and check what Shen Mian's little figure was doing. He turned his head and saw the antique clock hanging on the wall. The hour hand had pointed to 12 o'clock, and he couldn't help but frown.

This time has exceeded Shen Mian's rest time by two hours. His slender fingers tapped the table rhythmically, making a crisp "tap tap" sound. Shen Mian was attracted by the crisp sound, turned his head, looked in the direction of Shen Huizhou, and happened to meet his sight.

"Go to bed, it's time."

"But, Dad, Mianmian is not sleepy. Mianmian wants to play for a while longer."

"obedient."

Although Shen Huizhou doted on Shen Mian, he would never indulge him without reason. He stared at Shen Mian expressionlessly, without saying a word. Soon, Shen Mian was defeated by his father's oppressive gaze.

"Okay, okay! Mianmian, go to sleep."

After saying goodnight to his friends dejectedly, the little cub climbed into his little bed with his little butt sticking out angrily, got into the little blanket, and buried himself tightly in it.

Humph! Dad is mean to him, don't say goodnight to dad today.

After a while, looking at the small ball of bulge on the small bed, motionless, Shen Huizhou couldn't help but feel a little funny. Looking at the little cub who was angry with him, and then looking at the small ball of bulge on the small bed, he was worried that Shen Mian would suffocate himself.

So, he stood up, walked to the small bed, and gently pulled down the blanket. He thought Shen Mian had fallen asleep, but when he gently pulled down the blanket, he happened to meet Shen Mian's big round eyes. There was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes, and he was staring at Shen Huizhou who was adjusting the blanket for him.

Shen Huizhou was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I won't get angry with you next time."

The little cub's face was red, and he sincerely apologized to Shen Huizhou. Shen Huizhou looked at Shen Mian who admitted his mistake to him obediently, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He gently stroked the cub's head and whispered to comfort him:

"Dad is not angry with Mian Mian. It's late. Go to bed. Dad is here with you."

Shen Mian nodded obediently. Surrounded by his father's breath, he gradually felt sleepy and unknowingly fell asleep under his father's gentle caress.

Shen Huizhou leaned down gently and kissed the cub's forehead lightly.

Go to sleep! When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be over.

The next day, the news of Shen Huizhou's high-profile return to the imperial capital spread like a hurricane to every corner of the star network. Not only did he return safely, but he also discovered an unknown star region. The subjects of the Manche Empire were very excited about this.

But it is regrettable that Her Majesty the Queen was so sad about the news of His Majesty's death that she fell ill suddenly last night and unfortunately passed away.

After Gu Zelan was arrested, she kept clamoring to see Shen Huizhou, but was decisively rejected by Shen Huizhou. The affection between them as mother and son had disappeared since she decided to abandon him three years ago. Since she liked Gu Jingzhou so much and wanted to stay with that man forever, he would help them to be a family of three. However, her identity as the queen of the Manche Empire would be completely abandoned from now on.

Gu Jingzhou's mental power was abolished and he was locked in a dungeon with Shen Heng and Gu Zelan.

Shen Heng was unable to return to his country because of Gu Zelan. He had finally won the mission of discovering the unknown star region from his father. He had thought that if he could do it well, he would have a good chance of competing for the position of crown prince, but it was completely ruined by this stupid woman and her son.

From time to time, curses from men and women could be heard in the dungeon.

Shen Mian was not aware of the disturbance among the adults because he was very busy.

Dad is going to move with him after everything is over.

Shen Mian's coronation ceremony was also on the agenda. Shen Huizhou had already made plans when he sent Shen Mian to school, but various situations occurred in the middle, causing the ceremony to be postponed again and again.

Now, everything has been settled, and Shen Mian's public ceremony as a member of the Manchester Empire royal family is about to begin.

Soon after, leaders, nobles, and high officials of various countries received golden invitations with the Manchester Empire logo, inviting them to attend the coronation ceremony of the little prince of the Manchester Empire. At the same time, the ceremony will be broadcast live on Starnet.

Once this news was released, it quickly caused an uproar on Starnet, with netizens talking about it.

"Wow, I've finally waited for this. Is the little prince finally going to make his public appearance?"

"But isn't it a bit inappropriate to hold a ceremony to celebrate the birth of the little prince so soon after the former queen of Manchester Empire passed away?"

"Hey! Brother, you still think you are living in the ancient earth era, old antique!"

Soon, those unfriendly voices were drowned out by the flood of messages from netizens. The man who was trying to stir up public opinion behind the scenes slammed the laptop in his hand against the wall.

The Manchester Palace also began to make intensive and orderly preparations.

On the day of the ceremony, Shen Mian had just gotten up when he was surrounded by a group of people led by Steward Lin. Behind him was a little boy with green eyes who was slightly taller than Shen Mian. He smiled and watched Shen Mian blankly cooperating with the others.

Shen Mian was led by the green-eyed little boy to the main hall entrance in a daze. Shen Mian was wearing a complicated and gorgeous black prince costume, with silver hair floating gently, and his face was delicate like a well-groomed doll, with a tight little face.

Inside the main hall, on the throne of the Manche Empire, Shen Huizhou was wearing the same gorgeous clothes as Shen Mian, but his clothes were more gorgeous, he was wearing the emperor's crown. He looked forward, looking at the figure of the little cub who appeared at the door of the main hall, and his cold and indifferent aura softened instantly. A warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded gently to Shen Mian.

Under the throne, on both sides of the red carpet, were cabinet ministers and military generals dressed in formal attire. Their eyes were also focused on the small figure at the door.

Shen Mian was a little nervous in front of so many people, but when he saw Shen Huizhou in front of him, he quickly calmed down. Dad told him that he just had to walk from here to his dad! He could do it. At Shen Mian's feet, the little black cat rubbed his calf encouragingly.

The solemn music sounded, and Shen Mian moved. Soon, under the gaze of everyone, he came to the throne. But he was still a few steps away from Shen Huizhou. These steps were much higher than other places, reaching Shen Mian's thighs. The 3-year-old cub raised his little feet with great effort and finally climbed onto the steps.

Shen Huizhou stood up from the throne and put the medal in his hand, which symbolized the royal authority, on Shen Mian's small chest. Then, he lifted the little cub high up and protected it in his arms.

He glanced indifferently at the audience and solemnly announced to the people present and the people watching the live broadcast:

"The Manchester Empire has welcomed his new successor."

"Sleep."

The people below put their hands on their chests and saluted Shen Mian.

At the same time, an electronic "ding dong" sound suddenly rang in the minds of Shen Mian and Shen Huizhou.

"The formula for the gene unlocking potion has been unlocked, and the formula has been sent to the cub guardian's mailbox."

"Ding, it has been detected that the cub's happiness level has reached the system's disengagement standard. The system is automatically disengaging. Please get ready, cub."

“Dear Mianmian! Live happily forever! Xiaoqi will never forget Mianmian.”

"Please guardians take good care of the cubs. The system will come back to make follow-up visits from time to time."

"System separation is complete. Goodbye, Mianmian. Xiaoqi will come to see you."

I saw a white light coming out of Shen Mian's body, flying into the air, and then disappearing.

With tears in her eyes, Shen Mian buried her head in Shen Huizhou's arms and sobbed, "Wow, Mian Mian can't bear to leave Xiao Qi."

Shen Huizhou looked at the place where the white light disappeared and promised secretly:

"Don't worry, I will protect my cub well. And thank you."
