You can't afford to hurt a dead house involved in a palace fight [Interstellar]

The emperor curled up in the chair alone, coughing, coughing continuously.He finally got what he needed out of his clothes before he almost fainted from suffocation.It was a small transparent crystal bottle, filled with some round particles, the number was not much, only a thin layer was spread on the bottom of the bottle.

The emperor bit off the cork, swallowed a pill, gritted his teeth and endured a burst of intense discomfort, and gradually his breathing finally calmed down.

He breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the crystal bottle above his head, and shook it lightly.There is really only such a thin layer, counting carefully, there are about ten grains.With so much, it should still last for about half a year?

The emperor stared at the crystal bottle silently for a long time, then silently put it back into his clothes.Without saying a word, he thought calmly: If he still can't find that person, this will be the last half year of his life.

And at this time, Guan Shao finally waited in the bedroom for Prince Amber who had returned.

"His Royal Highness!" Guan Shao greeted him excitedly. Seeing the ugly look on Amber's face, he couldn't help but feel even more worried, "What's wrong?"

Amber shook his head lightly, "Father wants me to think about it."

Then he passed by Guan Shao's side, sat on the edge of the bed, looked straight at the past, didn't know which distance he was looking at, but really thought about it.

Guan Shao was very worried, but he didn't know what to say, so he just sat beside the prince and accompanied him quietly.

After a while, Prince Amber said, "I should still fight."

"Why?" Guan Shao's complexion changed, and he couldn't help asking hastily.

The prince turned to look at him, "Don't you want me to fight?"

Guan Shao blushed, lowered his head and hesitated, and said after a while, "Of course I hope you don't have to go to the battlefield...but if you really want to go...I also..."

"It's not a question of whether I want to go or not." The prince leaned forward slightly, "The gamma galaxy is not a good kind. If they don't hurt them, they don't know how to restrain themselves. And these days, the empire expects war There are already many voices, and if the fight is delayed, the hearts of the people will be damaged."

"Are many people expecting to go to war?" Guan Shao was a little surprised, "So are ordinary people?"

Seeing him so surprised, the prince glanced at him unexpectedly, "Of course."

Guan Shao wiped his face.

"The empire has always been martial." Prince Amber said again, "especially in the past few years, the empire has been victorious under the leadership of the father, and the blood of the people has long been cultivated. If I can't be the same as the father Many people will naturally be dissatisfied with me.”

"A hundred battles are victorious..." Guan Shao stretched out his hands and rubbed his head, feeling a little wrong, "But didn't you say last time that His Majesty the Emperor suffered a big loss when he was young? The entire fleet in the past was wiped out, and my own life and death were unknown for two years."

"Yes." Prince Amber nodded, "But I won."

"Win...won?" Guan Shao's eyes widened in disbelief: the whole army was annihilated, and the emperor himself won without knowing his life or death?

"At that time, the fleet led by my father was a vanguard with thousands of ships and more than [-] soldiers. I don't know how it was defeated by the enemy at that time—it just happened to be the same enemy who is looking for trouble now. The same one——the γ galaxy, whose whereabouts were detected, was directly surrounded by the main fleet of the γ galaxy.” Amber said slowly, but his eyes were filled with admiration, “The strength of the main fleet of the γ galaxy at that time was even higher than that of the emperor’s father. The vanguard he led was ten times larger. As a result, the emperor led only one-tenth of the troops, and even severely injured the opponent."

Guan Shao took a breath.It turned out that the situation at that time was so dangerous, it would be nice if he could save his life.He had always underestimated the power of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Because the gap in military strength is too great, the Royal Father's fleet was eventually wiped out little by little until there were only a few dozen ships left, while the opponent's ships still had hundreds or thousands of ships." Amber said here, His eyes couldn't help but become brighter, "At this moment, Father put on his own mech, left the bridge, and fought with the soldiers in space, finally annihilating the main force of the enemy."

All... wiped out?

Guan Shao couldn't even breathe.Just when he thought he was shocked enough, the facts would shock him even more.

"It's really amazing..."

"Yeah, father is really powerful!" Amber was completely excited, "This was the most splendid battle in his life! Because that battle hurt the γ galaxy too much, even if father later There has been no news for two years, and no one dares to take advantage of the Mobile Empire! Until now..."

Having said that, Amber gritted his teeth again.

During the years when his father was in power, how could the Gamma Galaxy have the guts to make such a move?In the final analysis, the reason why the γ galaxy is so bold now is because it knows that His Majesty the Emperor has handed over the burden of the empire to Amber, and it is because he is too underestimated.

Amber's face darkened again, and he said slowly after a while, "I have to fight this time."

Guan Shao sighed and had no choice but to hold Amber's hand quietly.

But Amber didn't ask the emperor's consent again immediately, he knew that the emperor's decision would not change so quickly.He still needs to wait, waiting for the moment when the situation develops to the point where someone has to fight.

That moment is not far away. The γ galaxy did not know how to restrain the harassment on the border of the A galaxy. In just a few days, it plundered many subsidiary planets of Saya. The requests for help from those subsidiary planets flew here like pieces of paper every day. The atmosphere of the main battle is also getting higher and higher every day, and even people everywhere have launched spontaneous parades.

The last straw that weighed on this camel was that the third prince, Helian, suddenly publicly challenged him, and gained countless hearts in an instant.At the same time, the people naturally became more and more dissatisfied with Prince Amber, who had been silent for a long time.

"Father," Amber knelt in front of His Majesty the Emperor again, "please let me fight."

Compared with a few days ago, his request has become more weighty, and the emperor looked at him more solemnly.

"Father, I have considered it carefully." Amber said, "I understand your concerns, but this is not a reason for me to avoid fighting."

"...Why do you..." the emperor asked in a hoarse voice, "You must go to war?"

"As the first prince of Saya Star, this is my inherent responsibility." Amber replied.

"The first prince does not necessarily have to go to the battlefield in person." The emperor said a little tiredly, "Compared with winning on the battlefield in person, there are many things that are more important to managing an empire well. Even if war is inevitable Okay, you can also carefully consider the candidates, there are still many talents in the empire..."

"Father." Amber raised his head, and there seemed to be flames dancing in his eyes, "I want to do what you have done before."

The emperor's words suddenly paused.

"I admire your achievements on the battlefield." Amber said firmly, "I want to chase after you."

The emperor fell silent and didn't say a word for a long time.

Amber lowered his head again, and lowered his eyes, his heart was heavy because of the long silence, as if a boulder was pressed down.

After a long time, the emperor also lowered his head and looked at his chest.There was a wound there, a wound passing through the heart, which almost killed him at that time, and now it will eventually give his life to the wound that is going to go.He really wanted to say that if he could choose again, he would not take his life as a child's play and face danger so frequently.

But in the face of the eldest son's sincere admiration, he couldn't say it.

The emperor finally said three words, "Be careful."

Amber's eyes lit up again, and his face was full of joy.

"Also, don't exceed half a year." The emperor said again, "Within half a year, no, preferably within five months, no matter whether the enemy has been dealt with or not, no matter whether the war is over or not, you must come back here, I have A more important task is entrusted to you. It won’t work even if it’s a day later.”

"Yes!" Prince Amber couldn't hide his excitement.

After the news that Amber was about to personally crusade against the γ galaxy was announced, the whole empire cheered up, and Amber's people's hearts finally recovered.

There was still some time before the departure, and the emperor took over the government affairs that had been entrusted to Amber again, so that Amber could prepare with peace of mind.

One of the preparations... Amber decided to completely dismiss the redundant spouses.

Among those spouses, there were about a dozen of them, just like the young man at the beginning, they had voluntarily asked Prince Amber to leave.After that, there were about ten more people, and after Amber came to the door to express their dissatisfaction, they also wisely chose to leave.Then Amber kicked out more than a dozen other shameless guys.Nearly 50 people were dismissed in this way, but there are still a few hard bones left.

Di Lan is one of them, her status is supernatural and her family members are powerful, not to mention that she can't be chased directly, she can't even say a word, it's just so entangled.Mingfei is another one of them, no matter what you say to him, he can be tactfully bypassed, it's just so difficult.Of course, in the final analysis, the biggest stubble is Di Lan.

While Amber was still having a headache over how to deal with Di Lan, Guan Shao was called over by His Majesty the Emperor again.

The emperor asked him to arrive at five o'clock, but Guan Shao didn't dare to be so punctual, he insisted on being half an hour earlier, but his cleverness was mistaken by his cleverness, and the emperor had no time to see him at all.Fortunately, the emperor didn't ask him to wait outside, but let him in, but he didn't have time to talk to him.

The emperor was rustling those official documents.

Guan Shao had only seen Amber doing this before, and it was the first time he saw the emperor doing this, so he couldn't help but take a few extra glances.Compared with Amber's seriousness when handling official duties, the emperor is a little more calm and proficient, but his waist is always straight and his strokes are steady, which is not at all the, uh, moody appearance in Guan Shao's memory.

At around five o'clock, the emperor finished writing the last word on time, put down the pen and paper, and finally raised his eyes to look over, "I heard that you don't want Amber to fight in person."

Guan Shao didn't expect his first sentence to be this, and couldn't help but pause.

"And about Di Lan's matter, you told me last time that you will work harder after you go back." The emperor said again, "In the end, you are still obedient and obedient, and there is no movement."

Guan Shao wiped off his sweat and thought: Well, it really is the right rhythm.

"Why?" asked the emperor.

"It's all because of..." Guan Shao tried hard to think about what to do if he was vague.

But the emperor asked again, "Didn't you tell me at the beginning that because you don't like Amber that much, this task is not a problem for you at all, and you will definitely work hard to complete it."

"..."

"As a result, you haven't really worked hard." The emperor pressed, "Why?"

Guan Shao couldn't resist, so he simply lowered his head and said nothing.

"Tell me." The emperor took a deep breath, and asked the next words, full of hope and a little apprehension, "Actually, you like him in your heart, don't you?"
