Same light

Chapter 18

That night, Xiu didn't sleep.

The night of Xuelixing was short, and it seemed that very quickly, the light of the central star gradually replaced the starlight.

According to the tradition inherited from ancient times, people still call this "sunlight", although no one has ever seen the star that shone on mankind at the beginning of human origin, the old days.

Scientists say that the ancient sun was brilliant and golden, and its brilliance could not be seen directly. After the establishment of the interstellar unified empire, the sun has always been a symbol of the royal family.

They have the most powerful genes of human beings so far, and in this dark and silent universe, they shine everywhere like a new sun.

Chu Jun, that is, the day of birth.Xiu quietly looked out of the window, the symbol representing himself was rising from the horizon, illuminating his sick face even more tired and pale.

This is what Alfred saw when he gently opened the door and came in.

He slept in the second bedroom on the second floor, and deliberately got up early, thinking that he could see Xiu's sleeping face, but when he opened the door, he met Xiu's eyes.

What happened last night, Alfred acted like a normal person, without any embarrassment, he approached the bed comfortably, put the dinner plate on the bedside table, and said, "Did you not sleep?"

Xiu didn't answer, and Alfred wasn't angry either. He picked up a delicate porcelain white bowl, held a spoon in one hand, and sat by the bed as if to feed him.

"I'll do it myself." Xiubian said at the beginning.

Alfred didn't put down the bowl, and asked again: "Have you slept yet?"

"……No."

After getting the answer, Alfred handed him the bowl, and without leaving, he sat by the bed and watched him have breakfast.

Even on the bed, he can maintain an elegant and decent manner when eating. Alfred admired it for a while with great interest, and chatted with him again: "Why didn't you sleep? What are you thinking so much that you can't fall asleep?"

Xiu put down the spoon, pressed the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and said coldly, "Reflect on what went wrong with my education."

This answer seemed to please Alfred. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm curious, what makes you still hold on to your brother's status when you and I are almost at a showdown? It's because you have been the crown prince for too long. Is there an inescapable sense of natural superiority, or...is there any other reason?"

"Other reasons?" Xiu asked rhetorically, "For example? What do you expect me to answer?"

The crown prince is always calm and peaceful. He rarely speaks in such a continuous rhetorical question, because it is a bit harsh and does not suit his image, but after going through last night, his mood seems to be a little unstable.

This discovery made Alfred feel a little excited, but it didn't dazzle his reason. He refused to reveal any of his guesses, and lightly threw the question back: "I don't know, so I asked you, Your Royal Highness." .”

So Xiu replied, "Because my mother entrusted you to me before she died."

The smile on Alfred's face disappeared, and he said dangerously: "How dare you mention your queen mother."

If it were any other person on this planet who saw Alfred showing signs of anger, he would be terrified, but Xiu not only did not frighten him, but continued on.

"Actually, I never told you that there is a second part of her last words besides this one." Xiu lowered his eyes and said, "She hopes you can be the emperor, not me."

This was indeed the first time Alfred heard about it, he was stunned, and then asked: "Didn't you wonder why?"

Xiu raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "Of course it's because of the reason you and I both know. I've known since I can remember that my mother never lied to me."

As expected, Empress Xian was also one of the people who helped hide the secret.But she didn't try to hide it from Xiu himself, Xiu knew all along...

Alfred suppressed his anger and said, "You knew it all along, but you sat on the crown prince for more than 20 years with peace of mind?"

Xiu Dao: "No one stipulates that the throne must be occupied by the successor of Huang Jintong."

This sentence made Alfred furious, but he was no longer the kind of person who vented his anger by shouting loudly. On the contrary, he said with a cold expression: "The high priest is really brave."

This unexpected face-to-face flip of the card really made Xiu react. Although he didn't panic, he looked at Alfred with more serious eyes.

"What happened to Joshua?"

"Don't worry, all hands and feet." Alfred said.

Xiu said in a deep voice: "It's best like this. The teacher only has this one child, and he won't tolerate anyone hurting his son."

"Yeah, I don't dare to offend the high priest." Alfred sneered, "Everyone says that the high priest has no power, why not? At least after the prince is born, he should announce the birth certificate—for example, the prince Prince, your birth identification. Two years ago, after I read the test report, I found someone to check the records of your birth. I found that your birth identification was done by the high priest himself. It is a great honor. Say we This High Priest is really brave, if I hadn’t found out about this, I would not have realized that the spiritual symbol of our empire holds such great power.”

He almost uncovered Xiu's background, but Xiu didn't panic, he just asked flatly: "You only found these? The potential energy possessed by the teacher is something you can't imagine, let alone resist. I advise you not to do unnecessary things." matter."

He didn't mock, but seemed to be calmly narrating the facts. This attitude made Alfred vaguely uneasy.Because he just felt that the high priest had a special status and it was tricky to move. He didn't think he had anything to fight against, not to mention that Xiu Ming knew that the Stone family was behind him, and he was still so confident... He immediately changed his previous attitude. He decided to try Joshua in person, and mobilize all available resources as soon as possible to find out about the high priest.

Although the alarm bells were ringing in his heart and he made several decisions in an instant, he kept his composure, snorted and said in disdain: "Post-posing."

Xiu shook his head lightly, didn't intend to say any more, lowered his eyes and continued to drink his hot soup.

Alfred seemed unwilling to let him have breakfast in peace, and after watching for a while, he said: "The doctor is already waiting outside the villa, and he will come over to check you after you finish eating."

Xiu picked up the napkin again to wipe the corners of his mouth, put down the bowl and spoon, and then replied: "There is no need to review, let them go back."

"The prince is so forgetful. I just said it last night—it's not up to you to decide here." Alfred bent his lips and said, "They are all doctors from the best hospital in Xuelixing. I am worried about the prince's health. I invited it for you. The press release has been written, if you don’t review it, how will other people’s news be released later?”

Seeing that he had made up his mind and wanted to take the opportunity to earn a good reputation of "respecting the elder brother", Xiu knew it didn't make sense, and concentrated on his own breakfast.

Alfred provoked a few more words, but Xiu seemed determined to ignore him, and finished the meal in an elegant manner that no one could fault.

Soon, the dinner tray was sent down from the elevator, and several doctors were brought back by Alfred himself.

The doctors all saluted Xiu Xun, and Xiu warmly thanked them for coming early in the morning, but then said: "Yesterday, a doctor from a nearby hospital has completed the reset for me, and the concussion was only very slight, and I have recovered today." , don’t bother you to re-examine, please go back.”

As soon as he arrived, he was issued an expulsion order, which made the doctors look at each other. Alfred sat by the bed and said with concern: "Brother, how can this work? I was not here yesterday, so I have to check it under my eyes again to be at ease." .Doctor, please come here.”

The leading doctor was the best orthopedic expert in Xue Lixing, and he was about to bring other doctors to come forward, when Xiu said, "I told you, there is no need to check again."

His expression was still gentle, but his voice was obviously serious. Anyone could tell that he was not in a very happy mood.

Recently, the third prince has risen, and people are talking about it everywhere. In comparison, the prince's momentum seems to be not as strong as before, but the crown prince is the crown prince, and no one wants to offend him. The doctors froze in place holding the equipment. They didn't dare to go forward.

"Everyone, please leave now." Xiu clearly issued an order.

Except for the emperor, the crown prince has the right to give orders to anyone, including doctors in civilian hospitals.

The doctors looked hesitantly at the other prince in the room, only to see that his pale yellow eyes had slowly turned golden yellow.

This pair of golden pupils, in addition to making everyone present feel the pressure, at the same time, they can't help but recall the blurry video that has been spread all over the Internet and almost everyone has seen, although it has been banned.

The burning eyes, the miraculous arrow of light, and the figure behind him that seems to indicate something, the picture of the emperor drawing the bow.

That year, the Great Emperor completed the most critical battle on Xueli Star, and later returned to the main star to establish the imperial city, establish a unified interstellar empire, and usher in a new era in which all human beings unite and actively seek genetic changes to fight the crisis of civilization survival.

Time flies, and everyone is saying that the survival crisis is over, and the next beautiful new era is coming.

Will history repeat itself?Can Xue Lixing become another emperor who opened a new era?

Alfred stared at them quietly for a few seconds, and then said: "Please come over and re-examine the prince."

The air seemed to freeze, and a few seconds later, the leading expert clenched his fists and made a decision.

"Yes, Your Highness." He bowed and said.

The silence was broken, and he stepped forward, and his team complied with the choice.

Alfred looked at Xiu, his eyes were burning and his emotions were surging.Xiu Ye was looking back at him, and his usually quiet black eyes also revealed some dark emotions at this moment.

The hearts of the people that originally belonged to Xiu, the radiance that originally belonged to Xiu, are being plundered by Alfred—at least, at this moment, in the small room on this remote planet, the hearts of the people have turned from the prince to the third prince.

This was Alfred's first confrontation with the revisionist, the first time he had openly fought for glory with his elder brother, and he won.And he will continue to win until this "glory of the empire" is eclipsed, until he holds the highest authority and becomes the new sun of the empire.

By that time...

Alfred stared deeply at Xiu for a while, then closed his eyes to cover all his thoughts, stood up, and made room for the doctor.
