There was a trace of bloody smell in the wind, permeating it, entangled the trees on both sides like a wandering soul, turned into a cold and sharp knife, and cut the leaves mercilessly.

Dark clouds held the sky low, and it was about to rain.

The magnificent carvings on the walls lost the sunlight and became decayed and old in the shadows.

The door of the palace was wide open, and the soldiers lined up in an orderly manner lowered their heads slightly, maintaining a sufficiently respectful posture, quietly waiting for someone to arrive.

This was the first time Lu Xingze had returned to the palace in ten years, and it was also the first time he had seen his nominal father.

I don't know whether it's because of chronic illness or mental and physical exhaustion, but Li Yuan is only fifty years old, but his temples have gray hair long ago. Even though his eyes are still as sharp as they were many years ago, they are a little cloudier.

He looked at Lu Xingze with a complicated expression that he had never seen before.

"I underestimated you." Li Yuan's eyes were icy cold, "Even Ling Sheng dared to openly talk about what happened ten years ago in the military academy class..."

"The truth has been covered for so long, it should have been revealed long ago," Lu Xingze interrupted him, looking straight at him, neither humble nor overbearing, "You should be glad that Admiral Ling Sheng didn't announce my mother's death and let everyone know, she Not by the hand of the Southern Cross, but by your order."

Li Yuan's face turned pale in an instant, his pupils dilated slightly, as if he was looking at an enemy.

Lu Xingze didn't care about his anger: "I don't think you would want the empire to fall into the hands of the Southern Cross. Li Qing has been in collusion with the Southern Cross for a long time. The example of M-17 is enough to prove that if you sit idly by and don't I believe Admiral Ling Sheng doesn't mind making this matter public."

Li Yuan suddenly became angry: "Are you threatening me?!"

Lu Xingze said lightly: "Don't dare, I'm just here to report the military situation to His Majesty. Lieutenant General Yan Zhaohui was besieged by more than a dozen black mechas near Emperor Star this morning. After investigation by the guards, all the black mechas came from M-22, sent by Princess Cornell, is exactly the same model as the M-17 sent by His Highness Li Qing. I wonder how His Majesty plans to deal with it?"

Li Yuan sneered: "You are really clear about Li Qing's actions."

Lu Xingze's voice was calm: "It is the duty of the Emperor Lions to protect the safety of the empire."

"You are for the safety of the empire?" Li Yuan half-closed his eyes, "If I didn't let you come today, are you going to kill him directly?"

"Don't you want him to die?" Lu Xingze chuckled, but there was no warmth in his eyes, as cold as a cold pool.

This rhetorical question made Li Yuan feel like a light on his back.

Lu Xingze's tone was natural: "It's always a hidden danger for Li Qing to send military firearms to Princess Cornell privately. Before he causes any harm to the empire, I'll get rid of it for you earlier. Isn't that good?"

Li Yuan suddenly raised his head: "He will become like this, is it not due to your credit?"

Lu Xingze didn't deny it, and now, he doesn't have to deny it.

What Li Yuan said was right, Li Qing would become like this, it has something to do with his pressing step by step over the years.It was easy to kill Li Qing, but it meant nothing to him.He wanted to completely dispel all Li Yuan's trust in Li Qing.

So over the years, he has planted countless eyeliners around Li Qing, fanning the flames, turning Li Qing into what Li Yuan hates the most, and also turning the two people's positions into a completely irreconcilable situation.

Li Yuan also knew it well.The fact that Lu Xingze dared to talk to him about this meant that Lu Xingze was absolutely sure of taking down the army formed by Princess Cornell.

This is exactly the purpose of letting him come to the palace.

The Royal Guards were unable to compete with the army formed by Princess Cornell and Her Highness Li Qing privately. If this matter spread, the people of the empire would definitely lose trust in the royal family.

The only thing that can solve this dilemma is to rely on Marshal Lu Huan's army.

This situation was already in Lu Xingze's calculations, but at this moment, he had no choice but to become a chess piece manipulated by him.

Li Yuan's body trembled slightly, his fingers gradually clenched, and the veins on his forehead almost stood out.He was silent for a long time, and under Lu Xingze's gaze, he finally spoke.

is an order.

"...Princess Cornell's army must be captured within half a month."

In any case, he is the king of the empire, and he must put the empire first at all times.

"I will." Lu Xingze remained calm, but his eyes were colder than the blade's edge.

He knows very well what it means to him to solve this matter.

The corners of Lu Xingze's mouth curled slightly: "I will avoid disappointing everyone like you."

After leaving the conference hall of the palace, Lu Xingze saw a strange attendant waiting outside.

"Where is Li Qing's bedroom?"

The attendant looked respectful: "It's very close, but His Majesty has sent guards along the way. There is only one way to avoid the eyeliners. I can take you there."

The people in the palace know how to judge the situation best. His Highness Li Qing lost his power, and the person in front of him is the future prince. Now that His Majesty's health condition is getting worse, maybe it won't be too long before this person will become their new master.

Lu Xingze nodded slightly: "Okay. You lead the way."

Since the end of the military academy exercise, Li Qing has been locked up in the imperial palace by Li Yuan, and all travel is restricted.Even though the existence of the Machinery Institute has not been reported, the fact that Li Qing has lost power has already been spread privately.

For the past few days, Li Qing had been quietly waiting for Shen Yu to bring him news about Mrs. Cornell. Now when he heard the movement, he thought he was rescued, so he immediately went to open the window.

A smile froze on his lips.

Li Qing's heart suddenly sank.Why did Lu Xingze come to the imperial palace?

Lu Xingze stopped outside his window, and said lightly, "I just want to ask His Royal Highness, if there is anything you want someone to bring to Princess Cornell."

"you……"

"Since there isn't one, don't bother me." Lu Xingze didn't have the patience to listen to him, so he interrupted him quickly and left slowly.

It was clearly still daytime, but it was dark outside the palace.Gray clouds rolled in from all directions, and the air was suffocatingly heavy.

As a thunderbolt struck, the sky was torn open, dense raindrops fell, and the air was drenched with humidity, bringing an uncomfortable sticky touch.

He raised his head, and immediately rain fell on his handsome face, which was so cold that there was no warmth.

Shao Yan died ten years ago, and the day he left the palace was in the same weather.Everything is as familiar as yesterday.

"Lu Xingze!"

There is a familiar voice from a distance, flamboyant and wanton, which can make anyone feel happy.

Lu Xingze's heart sank slightly, he followed the sound and looked sideways, and saw Yan Heng standing under the sculpture in the palace waiting for him.

Lu Xingze quickened his pace, stopped in front of Yan Heng, and saw that he was wearing a dark gray woolen coat, with a white sweater inside, and a scarf around him, with some fluffy hair slightly curled up.

"You're so afraid of the dark, why are you still waiting for me here?" He approached, straightened his wind-torn hair and scarf for him, his laughter was low, his pupils became darker and darker, almost as close as The darkened sky merged into one.

Yan Heng's cheeks were blushing hot: "It's...not that scary. I went back to the military academy and came here because I thought of it."

Drop in?From Yan's house to the military academy, it takes a long way to go to the palace.

But Lu Xingze didn't expose him: "How long have you been waiting?"

Yan Heng: "Just arrived."

Must have lied again.His eyes were almost red from the cold.

Lu Xingze remained silent, Yan Heng subconsciously raised his eyes to look at him, saw the transparent liquid hanging on his face, and couldn't help being startled.

"Isn't it?"

"Ok?"

"As for you, I was moved to tears."

"It's raining." Lu Xingze said softly.The cold raindrops fell on his face, and it seemed that there was a tear-like temperature at that moment.

"Oh," Yan Heng rubbed his nose, and then realized that he had misunderstood, "I have an umbrella."

Before he could support it, he was held down by Lu Xingze with one hand.

The force was very heavy, and the temperature in the palm was hot, making Yan Heng's body tremble.

After a long time, Lu Xingze said in a low voice, "It's not raining heavily, don't fight."

Yan Heng was stunned: "Why? Romantic?"

"Mmm." Lu Xingze didn't explain, his pupils seemed to be covered with a shadow.

The rain fell more and more densely, and it fell on Lu Xingze's body, gradually wetting his fine hair.The cold rain slid down the cheeks and seeped into the neckline.

And Yan Heng standing under the sculpture, avoiding the torrential rain, seems to be standing in another world.One step is as far away as the sun is from its planets.

"Then we won't fight." Yan Heng put away his umbrella, and walked into the heavy rain with him regardless of the increasing rain.

Lu Xingze's heart sank suddenly, and he regained consciousness instantly. He wanted to help him hold up the umbrella, but Yan Heng held his hand.

Warm as sunshine on a rainy day.

Suddenly he didn't want to let go.

Lu Xingze clenched his fingers a little, and finally intertwined with him.

Drenched in the rain and returning to the military academy, he immediately saw Lin Sinan standing outside the door of his dormitory, hesitating to knock on the door, but hesitant to leave.

Lin Sinan noticed the movement at the end of the corridor, and when he turned his head, he saw the hands of two people interlocking. He was stunned: "You...are you really getting back together?"

Yan Heng was startled, and subconsciously wanted to shake Lu Xingze's hand away, but Lu Xingze didn't give him this chance.Just hold it so firmly, you can't get rid of it like brown sugar.

Gan, Lu Xingze doesn't wink at all!

Yan Heng calmed down, pretending to take it for granted: "He's sick, I'll help him."

Anyway, Lu Xingze pretended to be sick not once or twice.

"Yan Heng," Lin Sinan said with a serious expression that Yan Heng had never seen before, "You broke up with Brother Lu and ran away after playing with his omega, and now you are reunited and continue to have AA romance, are you worthy of that omega?"

Yan Heng frowned deeply: "When will I..."

"You said it yourself," Lin Sinan said more and more angrily, "You touched the whole body of a person, and even grew - grass, I can't say it! How did you do such a thing?"

Yan Heng wished he could kick Lin Sinan out.What was he talking nonsense in the corridor of the dormitory building? !

Seeing Yan Heng's appearance, Lin Sinan was furious: "If you are still my brother, then apologize to Omega, don't be an irresponsible scumbag!"

"Lin Sinan, don't talk nonsense, it's a mistake..."

Just as Yan Heng was about to rush forward and cover his mouth, Lu Xingze suddenly said, "It's not an Omega."

"Ah?" Lin Sinan didn't react for a moment.

"It's with me." After Lu Xingze finished speaking, he ignored the confused Lin Sinan, and led Yan Heng's hand into the dormitory involuntarily.

With a "bang", the door of the dormitory was closed, and Lin Sinan was ruthlessly blocked from the door.

Lin Sinan:? ? ?

What the fuck?

There is a kind of you to make it clear, don't let me think about it?

Nobody!

The author has something to say: I feel sorry for Lin Sinan, what a responsible single and high-quality A, who was poisoned by a couple
