Same light

Even if there are a few tall men and women standing in this luxurious master bedroom, it doesn't look crowded.

Xiu sat on the bed, looking normal. He answered whatever the doctor asked without showing any resistance. Those who didn't know thought the dispute just now didn't exist.

Only Alfred knew, it was just that the crown prince saw that he had lost his power in this room, and he didn't want to lose face by struggling needlessly.Moreover, based on the amount of information Alfred possessed, he also glimpsed more secrets——Xiu was nervous.

Alfred recalled that Xiu would reflexively reject the word "doctor" when he was semi-conscious.Now it is unavoidable to face the doctor face to face, especially when the doctor touches him, his body will tense unconsciously, maybe even he himself is not aware of it, his eyes are always fixed on the doctor's hand Actions.

This made Alfred feel a little jealous.

The re-examination was completed soon. The injury was not serious at first, but now it is basically fine. Even the newly reset arm still needs to be treated with medicine to recuperate.

Seeing that the doctor was about to remove the bandage and change the dressing, Xiu turned his attention to the doctor's hand again, and Alfred said, "I'll do it."

The doctor didn't react and asked, "What, Your Highness?"

"I said, I'll change the prince's dressing." Alfred said.

He replaced the doctor, Xiu didn't say anything, but when he took over, Xiu's eyes were fixed on his movements.

Alfred was satisfied with this.That's how it should be, whether it's taking care of him or dealing with him, Xiu's attention should be all on him.

After taking the medicine and personally sending the doctors out, Alfred was about to go back upstairs when his handheld vibrated in his pocket.

He picked it up and took a look. Instead of going upstairs, he opened an empty room on the first floor and walked in, locking the door.

The communication was picked up, and Alfred was very friendly: "Good day, Your Majesty."

The emperor on the other side was not so friendly anymore, he just asked, "What did you do to Joshua?"

"Your information is really well-informed, and I'm about to report it to you." Alfred said calmly, "I found out that he was related to the bombing of the prince's palace and had abnormal contacts with people in the military. Aren't you blatantly provoking our royal family? You are far away from the main star, and the crown prince is injured and unable to take charge, so I decided to take him down for you and the crown prince."

The emperor snapped: "He provoked the royal family? I think you are provoking me!"

The most valuable heirs of the three clans are now on Xuelixing. Alfred threatened the emperor with this just now. Two days later, two of them had accidents. Of course, the emperor regarded this as provocation and pressure.

Alfred said: "Don't be so angry, of course I do things to take care of you—isn't there one left?"

The emperor laughed back angrily: "You want to touch him, do you dare? The high priest will only come to the Holy Golden Palace to disturb my ears when he finds out that something happened to his son. Duke Stone is not such a person!"

"That's why I said——I took you into consideration." Alfred said, "No matter how hot-tempered Grand Duke Stone is, he wouldn't privately mobilize the Royal Legion to go to the border, right? Isn't that a rebellion? He can't reach me, But to be able to get you, I am your son, and what my son has done, it is of course useful to go to Lao Tzu."

The emperor said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"

"Don't dare." Alfred said casually, "I even asked Austin to have lunch with me later, do you have anything else to do?"

This was urging the emperor to make a decision. The emperor sneered: "I didn't know before that you are so impatient."

"Yes, I have always pursued directness and efficiency." Alfred said, "So, what do you think?"

"I can promise you the position of prince." The emperor said, "I have already asked, and there is only one month left before your birthday. It happened that your coming-of-age ceremony was not held two years ago. When you return to the main planet, I Make up a birthday party for you, and announce it by the way."

According to tradition, the twentieth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony is an important birthday, and nobles will announce important changes in their status at the child's coming-of-age ceremony banquet.Alfred was exiled a month before the coming-of-age ceremony, so naturally he couldn't do it. It would be very compliant to make a supplementary announcement of the prince now.

"Do as you say." Alfred said.

The emperor continued: "Soon the cleaning work of all the planets will be over, and the royal family will issue an official statement, what should you say and what should not be said, I don't need to teach you."

"Your Majesty, I want more than that." Alfred smiled, "You only promised half the salary and want me to work for you, isn't it right?"

The emperor said: "If I were you, I wouldn't think about these unrealistic things here, but run back to the main planet while the prince is recovering from his injuries. Do you think your good brother doesn't know who plotted against him?"

Alfred froze for a moment and asked, "What?"

The emperor's voice became lighter: "Why do you think I found out about Joshua's accident so quickly? He is an adult, not a baby who sends newsletters home regularly every day."

And it's technically difficult to do.The interstellar ether storm is unstable. Two planets that are far away cannot be contacted at any time. It is necessary to check the current communication situation. If one is unlucky, a certain two planets have no conditions to communicate for a whole day. possible.

"Of course the Crown Prince personally reported it to me." The emperor said, "What he said was different from what you said. He said that he thought you were disobedient, so he laid hands on him and planted the blame on him." The son of the high priest wants to provoke the relationship between the royal family and the high priest family."

Hearing this, Alfred seemed to be having a hard time accepting it for a moment. He didn't speak, but only heard slightly heavy breathing.

The emperor finally felt relieved.All along, what he fears the most is that Alfred will become the crown prince's most powerful right-hand man when he grows up, and the position of the crown prince will be more stable and unshakable. He is naturally happy to see the results, and even happy to fan the flames.

"Let's do this." Alfred said after a while, "The royal legion is loyal to the emperor, and the crown prince has the command. The commanding power in the hands of the crown prince is temporarily handed over to me."

"Huh?" The emperor thought about the plan carefully. If it is to move the crown prince's power, it seems that it is not unacceptable...

"I'm not trying to take the crown prince's power. It's just that the crown prince is injured and unable to manage affairs, so he temporarily handed over the command of the crown prince's legion to me. Now that the people pay more attention to me, I don't want to go back to the main star to steal the second prince's limelight. , but you see, if I don't have any real power in my hands, and my elder brother suspects me like this, I really dare not stay here. What do you think?"

If Alfred is given some authority, so that the two brothers can fight evenly... The emperor weighed it for a moment, and agreed: "You are right."

Alfred climbed up the stairs and successfully got what he wanted after planning for two years, but his face was not happy.

He pushed open the door of Xiu's room, and just as he was about to make a sound, he found that Xiu had fallen asleep.

After a sleepless night after being injured—and taking time to file a complaint with the emperor—Xiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.

Alfred approached the sleeping Xiu. When he closed his eyes, he looked like an exquisite and perfect work of art, a beauty that could be appreciated quietly.

He is a crown prince who has been meticulously crafted, no matter his appearance or his words and deeds are close to perfection, like a machine that has been precisely set.

Alfred reached out and poked Xiu's cheek, and there was a small depression on Xiu's perfect profile.

Soft, warm, flesh and blood.He is also human.

Is there really someone who can play a good big brother for 20 years from the age he is?If he was fascinated by power and changed his mind after getting older, would he have resolutely left behind the relationship of so many years?Emotions don't have a switch, they are turned off when they say they are off, why can Xiu be so cold-blooded and ruthless?Or……

But if Xiu refused to tell, he couldn't ask, because he couldn't afford to gamble, and he couldn't bear the price of making mistakes.

Now that he has entered the game, the outcome of this game involves the fate of too many people, and many things are no longer up to him.

He has been insinuating that Xiu is like a robot, what he can do and what he can't do is pre-set. Now he is not so tightly bound by the situation and identity, so he can't easily act rashly.

Isn't everyone on this chess game like this?

The second prince doesn't like academics at all, and he just spent more than 20 years of his life on it. Austin is obviously capable, but because his father is jealous of the emperor, he can never show it...

The common people can't help themselves in order to make a living, but they don't know that the same is true for the nobles.Everyone in the world suffers, and Alfred lived a willful life for nearly 20 years, and he didn't taste the bitterness until he was an adult.

Xiu's mind was heavy, even though he was extremely tired, he didn't sleep soundly this time. When he woke up, it was a sunny afternoon.

There was no one in the bright room, but there was a tall body that could not be ignored, pressing on the uninjured half of his body, with powerful long arms around his waist, the fluffy head resting on his shoulders, and his hair was all rubbing against him On his neck, the warm breath made the skin on his collarbone itchy.

It was so familiar that Xiu didn't even have to lower his head to confirm it.When he was a child, Alfred didn't like to take a nap. Sometimes when his temper came up, he had to wait until Xiu accompanied him to sleep. At that time, he liked to sleep in Xiu's arms in this position.

For a while, Xiu really wanted to sit up and see what it would be like for Alfred, who was nearly two meters tall, to shrink into someone's arms like this.

But in the end he did nothing.He didn't break free, and didn't speak, but let Alfred sleep in his arms, as if he hadn't woken up at all, and didn't know anything, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
