On TV, Kaitlyn, dressed in black mourning clothes, without makeup, and with a simple bun, seemed to have aged 20 years overnight. Her eyes were swollen, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of her nose and the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth made her look haggard Unbearable.Her voice was fragmented, and she was so weak that she could hardly breathe, but she still firmly explained to the reporter her doubts about the real cause of the emperor's death.

"I don't care if I'm a queen or not. I never value it. I married him because I love His Majesty deeply." The queen's eyes filled with tears again, but she tried not to let it fall, "I admit that between me and Your Majesty... our marriage has certain problems, and we have been trying to solve it, but it's a pity... But even if we end our marriage, we are still relatives, and I still love him .I can't tolerate him leaving without knowing why, and the culprit is sitting in his place."

On a spaceship sailing in the universe, in the first-class coffee shop, Shen Luojun raised his eyebrows, watched the live interview on the TV screen, chuckled lightly, picked up the cup and took a sip of the remaining lemon tea After that, he stood up and prepared to go back.

A few young people who looked to be around 20 years old sat at the next table. They discussed in low voice while watching the interview:

"...The empress and the crown prince chatted endlessly all day long, it was really painful to watch. Can't they have a good fight? The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit Anyway, they can't produce evidence to prove the other party's crime, nor can they prove their innocence."

"If there is a real war, your brother will be happy. Is he serving in a station near the central star? He is also a mech pilot. His hands must be very itchy. He wants to go to the battlefield and do a real fight."

"Then it seems that you are on the prince's side?"

Several young people laughed loudly as they spoke, their blood boiled with enthusiasm, and they wished they could go to the front line to kill the enemy one after another.

Shen Luojun shook his head.This group of young people regards war as an online game. It is fun to watch, but they don't know how much economic loss will be caused to the empire with the destructive power of the current weapons.Besides, human life is more important than heaven, and when their brothers die in battle, let's see if they can still laugh today.

After returning to his box and resting for another five hours, finally in the evening, the spacecraft arrived at the destination on time.This is located on the far border of the empire, the fief of Duke Evans. Although the current situation is tense, the fiefs have not restricted citizens from traveling, but the intensity of security checks and patrols has been greatly increased, and the spaceship has been delayed for half an hour at the port of entry. Security check.There are patrolling warships, spaceships and mechas everywhere, which makes people feel a lot of pressure.

Shen Luojun disembarked from the VIP passage, left the space berth, found the person who picked him up at the pass, and directly boarded an extended suspension vehicle.

It was another long journey, but Shen Luojun still enjoyed the scenery outside the window leisurely, tasted the fine wine in the wine cabinet in the car, and on a whim, gave it to his assistant bodyguard and the few who came to pick him up. Everyone mixed a glass of wine.

Just when he was about to spoil the wine in the entire wine cabinet, the hover car finally stopped at a private club.Led by the waiter, Shen Luojun came to a box from the exclusive passage, inside, a young woman in a pink dress was waiting for him.Although the color and style of the clothes are very girlish, but this does not conceal the shrewd edges and tough aura of the woman.

"Mr. Shen." The woman smiled and stretched out her hand to him, "It's so radiant."

"Then I'm really a light bulb with a lot of wattage." Shen Luojun held her hand, and through the glove, kissed the back of the woman's hand lightly, raised her eyes and smiled frivolously.

"What do you mean?" the woman asked curiously.

"It's not bright enough, how can it illuminate your rare treasure and make the room shine brightly?" Shen Luojun said with a smile, "It's really my honor to dine with a noble and beautiful woman like you, Miss Sybil."

With a smile on the corner of Miss Sybil's mouth, she led him to the dining table. Shen Luojun took a step forward and took the initiative to open the chair for her. She was courteous but not humble, and she only showed a gentleman's demeanor in her flattery.

"You can really talk, no wonder there are so many ex-girlfriends, but no one scolds you." Miss Sybil laughed.

"Every relationship, no matter how long or short, even if it's only five minutes, should start well and end well, and become a beautiful memory for a woman, adding joy to her life." Shen Luojun laughed, "For me, it should be a man's love." obligation."

With a good start, the conversation between the two proceeded smoothly. No one cared what delicacies were presented on the table. Shen Luojun's humor made this Miss Sybil smile almost all the time.

The content of the chat gradually shifted from innocuous topics to today's political situation, and the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere suddenly gained a bit of weight and gradually became heavy.However, there are still faint smiles on the faces of the two, as if what they are talking about is not the prince who is about to ascend the throne, the empress who has been deposed, and the illegitimate son of the first emperor who has just won the duke title, but which star wears the wrong clothes again, which nobleman The wife of the main house went to the hotel to catch the rape again.

Miss Sybil took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth. Shen Luojun waved the waiter who was about to step forward to light a cigarette after retreating, and personally took out a lighter and lit it for her.A wisp of white smoke slowly spewed out from the vermilion lips, and fell on Shen Luojun's face.

"Third Young Master usually talks about these serious topics when chatting with women?" She asked with a half-smile, "With all due respect, this kind of topic may not please women."

"If it's flirting with a woman, of course I don't talk about it. I usually talk to them about private spaceships, diamonds and jewelry." Shen Luojun sat back and leaned back, and also took out a cigarette and lit it, "However, now I can Not flirting."

"Oh?" The woman's cocked ending voice implied that she wanted to refuse but still ask knowingly.

"After all, what is sitting in front of me now is not this year's new Miss Beauty Pageant, but the most dependent daughter of the Duke of Evans, the current Miss Sybil, the future Marquis Evans, and the future Evans Duchess."

Miss Sybil clicked her tongue: "What are you talking about? My father already has an heir. The future Duke of Evans and the current Marquis of Evans are my own brothers."

"Everyone knows that you are the Duke's favorite daughter. If there was no inheritance law to restrain him, he would have made you his heir a long time ago." Shen Luojun smirked.

This is of course false.Duke Evans favors sons over daughters, even though he understands that Miss Sybil's intelligence is far above the other brothers, but he still only regards her as an insignificant little woman who will marry off sooner or later.

But Miss Sybil understood that what Shen Luojun said just now was not offering hypocritical flattery.She thought for a few seconds before tentatively asking: "Then how do you think my father can get rid of the constraints of the inheritance law and pass the title to the child he really loves?"

"Let him be a legislator." Shen Luojun looked at her, ignoring her sudden stiff expression, "let him have independent legislative and law enforcement powers."

Duke Evans is the border lord who was circled and could be abandoned by the empire. However, although it is located in a remote place, because of the rich resources in the fief, the commercial development, prosperity and population density here are among the best in the entire empire. , and has good trade relations with surrounding fiefdoms.

Miss Sybil held her breath, and after a while she put out the almost exhausted cigarette in the ashtray, lit another cigarette, and said softly, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Of course." Shen Luojun said happily, "Your Highness, the future His Majesty, also knows what I'm talking about."

Through the lingering smoke, Miss Sybil gradually smiled: "Interesting." She snorted softly, "Then tell me, how can my father have independent legislative and law enforcement powers?"

One dinner was endless, but both Shen Luojun and Miss Sybil were amazingly efficient. Soon, Duke Evans received him in private.Shen Luojun stayed in Duke Evans' lakeside villa for three days, and finally, with a satisfactory agreement, he embarked on the journey back.It may take several years for the more detailed terms to be completely discussed, but after the most fundamental opinions are coordinated, the current problems can be solved together.

In sharp contrast to Shen Luojun's good mood, it was Caitlin who had trapped herself in the palace.

"Don't you think that everything is over?" Andre said flatly, playing with a crystal sculpture, "Even if you are innocent, they are the real murderers who killed the late emperor. As long as Mu Jingfeng stands beside them On the other hand, you have no chance of winning. If you want me to say, you might as well sneak away now. Half of the ports on the Central Star are under our control. They can’t stop you. Although the fiefdom is close to the central star, its area is not small, and it can always hide you. After a few years, when the situation stabilizes, if you change your identity, you will be free."

"I really don't have any chance of winning, but neither do they." Caitlin sneered, "I never expected to get the entire empire, I just don't want them to get it."

"Have they got it already?" Andrei said impatiently.

"How do you get what you don't have?" Caitlin laughed out loud, but quickly closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh of relief, "I didn't expect to get to where I am today." Her voice sounded hoarse , "If I hadn't kept her..."

"What do you mean?" Andre's heart skipped a beat, "What..."

"I mean, it would have been nice if Madeleine had been killed in the first place. Any blood relationship is a useless woman's benevolence."

"I'm asking you for the first sentence!" Andre interrupted her loudly, "what's not there, what do you mean?"

However, Caitlin just stood up and left calmly.

As soon as she left, cold sweat dripped down Andre's forehead. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room irritably.But she couldn't figure out what Caitlin wanted to do next.He was forced to board this ship by her, and Caitlin didn't trust him. Apart from what he had to say about the arrangements, he never knew anything more confidential.She trusted a few crazier nobles who wanted to betray the empire. Some of them participated in the last rebellion, but they were lucky enough not to be punished, and some were really greedy and lost their ability to judge rationally.

As a person who has stepped into the quagmire of treason with both feet, he must show his usefulness and deliver some truly valuable news in order to wash off the mud on his feet, instead of sinking with these lunatics.

Suddenly, a name broke into his brain.Andre clenched his fist, turned and left.

In the prince's villa, Gu Yuanchen, who was lying on a deck chair on the balcony basking in the sun, put down the photo album in his hand, closed his eyes, and opened the system interface again.

The bright red antivirus progress has now become 91%.
