The setting sun slowly disappeared behind a high-rise building in the distance, and a dazzling flame was ignited on the glass curtain wall and the suspension car driving on the track.Gu Zhaoting stood in front of the window and looked out. Although the Affiliated Hospital of the Imperial University was far away from the palace, he still quickly determined the location of the hospital.

With the hospital as the center, the tracks of blocks with a radius of more than ten kilometers have been cut off. Armored vehicles and mechs hover around the security area, like a flock of birds circling and returning to their nests at sunset.This vortex filled with the cold steely atmosphere is incompatible with everything that seems to be well-organized, prosperous and warm around it. Such obvious features, even after such a long distance, are still clearly recognizable.

Gu Zhaoting sighed for a long time, as if he could breathe out the heavy fear and anxiety in his heart.

However, when he turned around and saw the valet standing there like a sculpture in the corner of the room, watching his every move, he felt depressed again.

At noon, he had just seen the news of the assassination of the emperor, and before he had time to recover from the shocking news, he saw the queen rushing into his room with a group of soldiers.

In the beginning, it all seemed like a joke, the queen looked at him, and announced in a gentle tone that the prince had passed out because of too much emotion, and there was nothing he could do at the moment, so she reluctantly took full responsibility for the supervision of the country that should have been shared by the queen and the prince Task.

He almost burst out laughing, and then he suddenly understood what was going on, and he was forcibly taken to the Queen's Palace and imprisoned.The signal in the whole room was blocked, and his brain couldn't receive any information. He didn't know if the emperor was still alive, what the queen had done, and Yuan Chen's current situation.He could only pin his hopes on Mu Jingfeng and Han Xun. He knew that these two were also among the witnesses. With them, at least Yuanchen's safety could be guaranteed.

I am really incompetent.Gu Zhaoting said with a wry smile as he touched the brain that was almost on display on his wrist.Sure enough, if he was alone, how long he could live would be a problem. In this case, he couldn't think of a way out, and he couldn't find anyone to turn to for help.

The sun gradually receded and the lights came on in the room.The door opened and closed, and the new servant in the corner, who had almost zero sense of presence, put the plate on the table and said dryly, "Your Highness, please have a meal."

Gu Zhaoting sat down at the table silently, he had no appetite at all, but abusing his body was of no benefit to the current situation.

The night gradually deepened.Gu Zhaoting sat by the bed, looking at the location of the hospital.Against the backdrop of the night, the brightly lit security area looked even more eye-catching.

Gu Zhaoting sighed sullenly, and his eyes fell on the garden in front of him.The branches with small white flowers swayed heavily in the wind, the shadows were twisted and elongated by the dim light, and the petals were scattered and falling. A few nocturnal blue warblers passed by the window and uttered crisp calls. I just couldn't see what the bug was lying on the glass at some point.

Gu Zhaoting frowned, when did such a thing exist in the palace?

At this moment, there was a tooth-piercing cutting sound, and then Gu Zhaoting saw something shooting towards him from the bug lying on the window, and he wanted to dodge in a panic, but blocked by the sofa.The thing came straight towards his face, and suddenly unfolded into a huge translucent film in the next moment, tightly wrapping his whole body.

boom--

Accompanied by the sound of the explosion and the shattering of glass, Gu Zhaoting saw the glass shards that were almost shattered into rice pieces being lifted up by the airflow generated by the explosion and rushed towards him, but because of the protection of the film on his body, he It just hurt a little from being smashed, but there was no injury.

A sharp alarm sounded, and the officer guarding him in the corner rushed over, holding a gun in one hand, and stretched out the other hand towards Gu Zhaoting, as if trying to grab him.

However, he could no longer complete this task, and a gunshot fired, and a huge blood hole opened in his chest.The body of the near servant fell to the ground, making a dull sound.

Gu Zhaoting stared at the dead body with wide eyes, and then he saw a figure walking quickly to the side of the body, kicked away the weapon in his hand, and aimed another shot at his head.Amidst the messy and light and vigorous footsteps, several tightly packed soldiers came in through the window that lost the glass.

"Your Highness, we were sent by the Marshal and Mr. Ning Yuanchen to rescue you." Two soldiers quickly unwrapped the film on his body, picked him up and rushed out.

Gu Zhaoting still wanted to ask a few more questions, but these people didn't give him time to talk at all, and they jumped out of the window in a blink of an eye.Shouts came from behind, followed by the sound of gunshots, but in the end, the bullets seemed to hit something, made a few muffled noises, and fell to the ground.

"No, the bulletproof screen is about to fail!" a soldier shouted, "Open the mecha!"

Without his reminding for a second time, Gu Zhaoting immediately felt a little strange, and countless mechanical parts suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, as if they were squeezed out from a different-dimensional space, piled up beside him, and began to piece together in a dazzled way. The whole process was very fast. In just a few seconds, Gu Zhaoting found himself lying in a dimly lit room. He immediately understood that this was the operating room of the mecha, and the soldiers operating the mecha were already in the mecha. in the cockpit.

Just as Gu Zhaoting was about to stand up, the mecha suddenly started to move. He fell to the ground again and rolled a few times. Just as he was about to hit the wall, several auxiliary arms suddenly stretched out from the operating room to stop him. With the help of the helper arm, he climbed into the co-pilot before he nearly spat out.

The co-pilot cannot control the mecha, but the field of view is synchronized with that of the pilot.But he felt dizzy, nauseous, and nauseous after just a few glances. He hadn't piloted a mech for a long time, and he couldn't accept the spherical vision for a while.

The mech flew nimbly through the air, dodging the shells fired by the pursuers and bypassing their encirclement.Mu Jingfeng asked them to reduce the number of casualties as much as possible, so several soldiers did not open fire on the pursuers behind them.They are all driving A-level mechas, and it is very easy to get rid of the people behind them.Soon, they arrived at the hospital where Gu Ye was being rescued.The patrolling soldiers guarding here are troops directly under Mu Jingfeng's jurisdiction, and they stopped smoothly on the square in front of the hospital.

Gu Zhaoting's feet hit the ground, and his knees almost went limp. He retched twice, then restrained himself, let them lead him into the hospital building, and went straight to the floor of the operating room.

There was a small-scale battle between the chasing soldiers and the soldiers guarding the perimeter of the garrison area, and the sound of rumbling explosions came one after another. The officials who hadn't left crowded to the windows one after another, watching in horror.At this time, only the soft ding of the elevator was heard, and Gu Zhaoting appeared behind the door. His clothes were a little messy, his face was pale, but his expression was very serious, and he still maintained a perfect royal demeanor while walking.

"Gentlemen." He nodded to the officials, "Thank you."

Mu Jingfeng came quickly from the other end of the corridor, stopped abruptly in front of him and gave a solemn military salute: "Your Highness, I am very sorry for not being able to rescue him in time."

"It's very timely." Gu Zhaoting stretched out his hand to him, and shook briefly, "How is the father? Caitlin blocked the signal in my room, and I don't know anything about the current situation. His operation How far has it gone?"

Mu Jingfeng led him towards the operating room, explaining softly as he walked.It was Han Xun who also rushed over and said, "The reporter is ready, let's hold a press conference directly. His Highness always doesn't show up. Some people are already doubting His innocence."

The officials who were left behind looked at each other in blank dismay, suddenly their faces turned pale and their eyes were terrified.In less than a day, is the empire going to war again?

They watched Gu Zhaoting, surrounded by Mu Jingfeng and Han Xun, come to the lounge next to the operating room. Before that, Ning Yuanchen, whom the emperor just recognized today, had been staying in that room because he was neither Formal members of the royal family, who have no aristocratic status or government positions, are isolated in a room alone as a special status of civilians and family members of patients.

A few seconds later, Gu Zhaoting's figure suddenly appeared on the floating screens in the rooms and corridors. He straightened his collar and smiled at the camera with a tired expression: "Hi everyone, I'm Gu Zhaoting. Sorry for not appearing until now, to make a statement to everyone about the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor. But this is not my intention, because before that, I have been imprisoned in the palace by Queen Caitlin, and the signal in my room is blocked, and I can neither receive it The news from outside could not send a distress signal, but fortunately, Marshal Mu rescued me in time."

This was an interview that had not been rehearsed in advance. Gu Zhaoting asked Mu Jingfeng and Ning Yuanchen about the current situation while expressing his views. During the whole period, he held Ning Yuanchen's hand tightly, and he completely trusted him. attitude is self-evident.

"Under the current lack of evidence, I really can't accuse anyone and judge someone as the real murderer of the assassination of the father. But at the same time that the father was assassinated, Queen Caitlin imprisoned me in an attempt to take full control The power of supervising the country shows her wolfish ambitions. Such behavior not only made her a major suspect, but also directly violated the law. I have asked the Imperial Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate this matter. I hope that Queen Caitlin will not be stubborn and accept the investigation. "

Soon, however, Queen Catherine began to fight back.She angrily accused the marshal of colluding with the emperor's illegitimate son, broke into the palace and took the prince away, in an attempt to subvert the empire.The statement just made by the crown prince was obviously made when his life was threatened.She called on nobles from all over the empire to unite to resist Mu Jingfeng, who was trying to seek power and usurp the throne, and rescue the prince from their control.

While the queen and the crown prince were going back and forth on TV, accusing each other of treason, the entire empire had quickly entered a wartime state. The lords of the fiefdoms and their garrisons were about to move, and an invisible division of power quietly unfolded , everyone is analyzing and standing in line.The emperor is still in the operating room, and there is no good news so far, and once he dies, the empress and the prince will inevitably tear each other apart, and then the war will break out.
