Same light

Alfred used the most indifferent tone to say a piece of news that would shock the entire universe in a few hours.

"It's you..." Austin almost blurted out. Fortunately, he quickly realized that their biggest political enemy was sitting by and listening, and immediately changed his words, "You already know?"

"It seems that I am not the only one who knows." Alfred looked at Xiu, "The prince is not surprised at all, as if he had expected this to happen a long time ago."

Xiu actually calmly nodded and admitted, he said: "People will always die, why panic."

Austin was a little numb.

A top-priority internal message delivered at the fastest speed, an explosive news that was enough to shock the empire, reached the mouths of these two people, one blamed him for "making a fuss", and the other said "why panic".

"So, does your head still hurt?" Alfred suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

Xiudao: "It's much better."

As he spoke, he picked up the book that Alfred took away just now, opened it and continued to read.

Austin glanced at the cover of the book, "Our Homeland: Heaven or Hell."

This is a popular science book. It talks about the ancient human beings who fled from the home planet earth where human beings originated, and were forced to choose the current galaxy as their new home before the resources were exhausted.

The ancestors were no doubt lucky to escape annihilation in space, but the new stars and planets around them didn't provide everything they needed to survive.Ancient science and technology are extremely limited here, and human beings have made many painful attempts to continue civilization. It is not until today, three epochs later, that the lives of ordinary people tend to be stable.

This book tells the advantages and disadvantages of the current interstellar natural environment on the development of human civilization in plain language. It won an award when it was first published 20 years ago. It is an excellent popular science book.

No matter whether Xiu was really watching or just pretending, Austin couldn't help feeling absurd.

Even though the second prince and the first empress have always been on opposite sides, they are blood brothers who have been entangled for more than 20 years.His brother had just died, and he didn't change his face, and even read the popular science books indifferently, as if it was a small bug instead of the noble prince who died.

Unlike Austin, Alfred couldn't help being happy.

Xiu's indifference towards the other prince satisfied him, and seeing Xiu's contemptuous and indifferent attitude made him more happy than hearing the news of the second prince's death, and the vague confirmation of some speculation made him excited.

Xiu did it on purpose, he had known for a long time that the second prince's death was approaching, so he deliberately delayed the time.

"His Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness, the Holy Golden Palace ordered—"

The guard who delivered the letter hurried in from the door.

The three people in the room had already guessed the content, and sure enough, the guard quickly said without waiting to stand still: "Your Majesty is calling back urgently! Your Highnesses, please leave immediately and return to the main planet without delay."

Alfred asked: "Did you say it was because of something?"

The guard also vaguely felt that something serious happened, and said nervously: "No. That's the whole content of the oral order."

"Got it, let's go."

Alfred waved him away.

"If you don't return my handheld, the situation will be very unfavorable to you." Xiu said calmly, looking up at Alfred from the pages of the book, "The outside world will no longer be able to contact me, and they will think that you are planning to Kill the two brothers in one go."

"No way, prince, are you going to push this matter on me?" Alfred looked back at him without dodging and said, "Didn't the prince take action on the matter of the second prince? What does it matter to me?"

"He's on the main planet, and I'm on Xueli. How do I make a move?"

Alfred said: "Aren't I also on Xuelixing? The crown prince's accusations against me are groundless."

Xiu Dao: "You don't have to do it yourself to kill someone."

"Return the same words to the prince." Alfred looked at Austin, "When are you going to hear it here?"

"Ah, I..." Austin was concentrating on watching the two accuse each other. He was sure that Alfred did it, but he was not sure after seeing the state of the two of them. When I clicked, I was a little confused for a while.

Alfred said: "Take the one in the interrogation room with you, we'll meet up at the starship port—come to me after getting on the spaceship."

The emperor's oral order came quickly and urgently, and Austin also knew that this was not the time to talk, so he saluted and left with all his heart.

Alfred took out the small and round handheld and threw it to Xiu, who caught it with one hand.

"Why did you act in such a hurry, we haven't lived under the same roof for a long time." Alfred said.

Repairing his handheld, he simply responded, "It's not me."

"That's really strange," said Alfred. "It wasn't you, and it wasn't me. How did he die?"

Amendment is issuing instructions in an orderly manner, as if there is no need to think at all, or in other words, he has already thought about it.While inputting information into the handheld, he said, "Have you read this book?"

He was apparently referring to the copy of Our Homeland: Heaven or Hell on the table.

Alfred didn't realize why the topic jumped here for a while, he said: "Of course I read it. When I was in school, wasn't it in the compulsory reading list?"

"It is mentioned in the book that many well-known scientists in history committed suicide in despair due to the limitation of the environment and the limitation of technology." Xiu said, after issuing all the instructions, he stood up, "The second prince has been studying, maybe he touched the edge of technology. Barrier."

He still had the same indifferent look, and even his expression didn't change, making it impossible to tell whether he was speculating seriously or mocking.

Alfred couldn't stop laughing, stepped forward and put his arms around his shoulders and walked out.

"That's right, it's probably a suicide. Hahahaha, if we say that in the Holy Golden Palace after we go back, the old man will be pissed to death on the spot."

With Xiu Ren in his arms, he just paused in front of the gate and said, "You're too excited today, it's not appropriate."

"Am I excited? No." Alfred straightened his collar and cuffs, "No, I'm quite heavy."

The gate of the prince's resting villa was opened, and the guards on duty outside all saluted solemnly.

The crown prince and the prince came out one after the other. Both of them walked in a hurry with serious expressions, and they got on a snowmobile waiting outside and sped away to the starship port.

Due to the attitude of the Holy Golden Palace, no one dared to delay, and the royal ship took off from the starship port of Xuelixing on the same day, heading towards the direction of the central star.

This royal ship was originally the prince's exclusive car for this trip, but the situation was completely different on the return trip.

The cockpit is still controlled by the prince's people, but the spaceship has allocated a floor for the third prince and his party to live in. Although Alfred's personal entourage is smaller than the prince's, there are several officers including Austin, and the two sides have a look. The situation in the spaceship maintained a delicate balance.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Xiu was about to go upstairs, Alfred stretched out his hand to hold him.

The waiters in the spaceship were still standing not far away. Alfred leaned close to Xiu's ear and whispered, "Although the place has changed, you promised not to lock the door at night, right?"

Xiu neither affirmed nor denied, he raised his eyes and glanced lightly at the few waiters opposite, they were all old people serving the prince, when they met his gaze, they all lowered their heads deeply.

Only then did Xiu reach out and push away Alfred, who was too close, and said, "You'd better talk to your people first. Then, if you still dare to come, come."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went upstairs.

Not to mention Xiu, Alfred would have talked to Austin as soon as possible.

The half-day time for the spaceship to take off was enough for a simple message of "the death of the second prince" to be expanded into more detailed information.

As soon as Austin entered Alfred's room, the first sentence he asked was: "Did you do it?"

"It depends on the information you tell me next." Alfred said, "At this point in time, it's not convenient for me to contact the people on the main planet in person."

Austin took a deep breath, which was tantamount to admitting.What Alfred meant was that the next step would be to clear the suspicion, and it would be too risky to contact the killer to confirm the situation at this time.

He's too daring, and... he already has such potential on the main planet?He planned a murder of the prince without any help from the Stone family.

Austin was both happy and worried at the same time. The happy thing was that the master's ability was beyond expectations, and their side had a good chance of winning. What was worrying was that the third prince didn't get along with the Stone family from the beginning to the end.

He asked with some awe: "How did you manage to make him commit suicide?"

Alfred froze for a moment, as if he didn't hear clearly, he asked, "Si... what?"

"My father personally sent me the encrypted information just now." Austin said, "The second prince committed suicide."
