Same light

The crown prince was grounded, the third prince was recuperating, and the funeral of the second prince was over, and the main planet fell into a strangely peaceful time.

The only two remaining now live in the Dawn Palace, and a conflict just broke out. It stands to reason that at least the atmosphere in the Dawn Palace should be tense and full of gunpowder. However, even the Dawn Palace is consistent with the outside world——calm , calm to a little weird.

"Are there any results from the genetic test?" Xiu asked.

Alfred was sitting in Xiu's study, reading a book—it was the popular science book, "Our Homeland: Heaven or Hell".Hearing the question, he said: "Not yet."

"Then what are you doing here?" Xiu put down his official duties, looked at Alfred, and issued a eviction order tactfully, "It's almost time for dinner."

Alfred said indifferently: "Let them send it here directly."

Xiu Moran said after a while: "The servants have already started discussing in private why we have been eating together these two days."

"I'll let Steward Mark teach them the rules." Alfred said, "I want to stay with you."

"But I don't want to stay with you." Xiu said, "Please go out."

Alfred didn't leave, closed the book and said, "Are you still angry, brother? I didn't mean to stay that long that night, and you didn't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiu stood up and walked out by himself.

"Brother, wait for me... ah!"

Alfred clutched his stomach and slumped back into the chair.

"Ah, my wound hurts so much!"

Xiu turned a deaf ear, walked past him indifferently, opened the door and went out.

Alfred didn't go after him, and sat on the chair dejectedly holding his belly.

After 2 minutes, Xiu came back again. He stood still in front of Alfred and said, "I told you to lie on the bed and not move around."

Alfred didn't speak, his blond hair drooped listlessly, looking aggrieved.

"...Did the wound open again?" Xiu asked again.

"It seems not." Alfred sniffed, "But it hurts so much."

Xiu looked at him for a while, took a deep breath, sat down in the study again and began to deal with official duties, did not go out again, and did not drive him away again.

Satisfied, Alfred picked up the book again, and said: "I remember that you read this book in front of me more than once in Xuelixing. Brother, at that time, you were hinting at this book in my book." point of view, implying the existence of another civilization to me, right?"

Xiu remained silent, and the expensive fountain pen specially used for the crown prince in his hand kept going.

"The emperor has the idea of ​​having another child. It is dangerous for you and me. We must be vigilant. If Steward Mark and I hadn't analyzed and explained the custom of addressing the prince of the Holy Golden Palace, I would not have known about it. However, how did he know that someone in Shengjin Palace called me Third Highness? Only my brother and I heard it that day. It was not me who said it, but my brother. You revealed it to him just to remind me, Is it right?"

Xiu Wu approved the documents by himself, as if no one was talking to him.

Alfred continued as if talking to himself: "On Xueli Planet, the reason we were able to find out the inner ghost of the 'Mirror' Legion and find Joshua was because you learned about my crimes while on the voyage. The reason why we can know that you have received the information is because you immediately asked Austin to question him after learning the information. This move is completely superfluous. You already knew that Austin is mine, so you did it on purpose , so that I know that someone around me is leaking my information."

"Also, it's strange that my emergency blood was lost for no reason on the battleship two years ago. I checked it before I got on the ship, and after I got on the ship, it was a separate room with very high authority, and ordinary people couldn't get in—unless it was The commander-in-chief at the time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You gave me your own blood bag for reasons and stole my blood, so that I would know that you have a genetic defect."

The pen finally stopped, Xiu raised his head, and said, "Alfred, I remember I taught you since childhood, keep quiet when I'm working and don't disturb. The documents handled by the crown prince are all important matters."

Alfred answered subconsciously: "But you are not the real crown prince."

Xiu's expression changed slightly, and Alfred immediately realized that he had said something wrong. Before he had time to make amends, Xiu had already said, "You reminded me correctly...Your Highness."

Sometimes, to show respect, the congregation calls Alfred "Little Highness" in front of outsiders, but it is absolutely impossible to call Alfred that way in private, and he has never called it that way, after all, he was born to sit in a noble position. In the position of crown prince, except for the emperor, there is never a need to call each other's honorific title verbally.

As soon as this title was spoken, Alfred's face changed suddenly, and he stood up abruptly.

"What did you call me?" He strode up to Xiu, "Don't call me that!"

Alfred's height is extremely oppressive, but Xiu is not afraid of him. He looked up at him calmly and said, "Why are you so angry. Since I am not a member of the royal family, I should be called so."

"Brother!" Alfred said with a very bad face, "Don't be like this, don't alienate me. You have done so many things for me, why do you refuse to admit it?"

"I never did the things you said just now." Xiu said suddenly, "Even if I did, I thought I did it for my own brother. But you are not my own brother."

Alfred took a step back, and seemed to be hit hard by the sentence, but he still managed to argue: "...but you, you told me the secret of the high priest that night! At that time, you already knew that I was not... ..."

"You want to know why I told you that?"

"what?"

"The secret of the high priest, the existence of another civilization, why do you think I told you the whole thing?"

Alfred paused, hesitated, "Because..."

"Because of this," Xiu said to himself, "everyone will know about it soon."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The servant knocked on the door and shouted, "Your Highness, Your Majesty calls urgently!"

The room was eerily quiet, Alfred looked at Xiu fixedly, none of them moved, despite the servant shouting eagerly outside the door, after a few times, Alfred turned around and strode to open the door.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Something has happened, Your Highness." The servant said hurriedly, "Rumors suddenly spread today, saying that the royal family discovered the existence of advanced civilizations in alien systems, but concealed the news from the common people... Your Majesty hastened to summon the two Highnesses into the palace."

Xiu calmly tidied up the business affairs on the table, stood up and said, "Understood, let's go."

"Impossible." Alfred said suddenly, "I've been following you every step of the way for the past two days."

"So I don't have a chance to set it up?" Xiu answered, smiling for the first time, "I know that's why you've been following me."

Alfred felt suffocated in his heart, feeling that the smile was extremely beautiful for a moment, and felt that this person was extremely dangerous.

"Let's go."

Xiu said, and walked out of the study room first.

"Tell me." The emperor paced back and forth slowly in the reception room of the Holy Gold Palace, "What's going on?"

Alfred asked calmly, "What happened?"

The emperor looked at Alfred, and Alfred stared at him for a few seconds without dodging.The emperor turned to Xiu again and asked, "What about you? Don't you know what happened?"

"Father...Your Majesty." Xiu said with downcast eyes, "I know."

"you know?"

"Not only do I know, maybe His Royal Highness knows better than me." Xiu said calmly, "Because I just revealed this to him, and immediately after that, it spread all over the main planet."

In a trance, Alfred seemed to have returned to two years ago. At that time, Xiu was also so calm and calm about what he had never done.

Two years ago, he felt that the world was falling apart, and he didn't know how to justify it, but now, he said without changing his face: "Your Majesty, I once said that I will help you contain the prince and create opportunities, and now it seems to be very effective. Now we only need to track down No matter where the rumors come from, it will be clear who is colluding with the prince to harm the empire."
