A week has passed since the Third Prince's fleet was defeated in the battle of Xiaolong Galaxy.
But during this period of time, the princes seemed to have received no news, and there had been no movement.
All the forces within the Xingyao Empire were also quiet at this moment. They were all waiting for the next move of the imperial party.
He pretended that nothing had happened, continued to consolidate the power of his own imperial party, and waited until the third prince succeeded to the throne to find a way to take revenge.
Or should we now assemble a huge fleet of interstellar legions for another expedition to the Xiaolong Galaxy, even at the expense of breaking up with the Chuhe Star Region and the Beifeng Star Region?
No matter which way it is, it will cause a series of chain reactions.
What no one expected was that the second prince Qin Ming would choose the most extreme method.
Imperial Star
Chu Changhe added a mansion here.
Chu Changhe would go to a courtyard in the mansion every day, rain or shine, to visit the queen.
The queen is still a little confused, but now she is more silent, not talking to herself like she did at the beginning.
Like a puppet that has lost its soul.
"Report, His Highness the Second Prince has sent someone to inform you.
Your Majesty has regained some consciousness, and now he will meet with you and the Queen." The steward stood beside Chu Changhe and reported.
"I understand, I'm going to pick up the Queen. Please prepare your vehicle." Chu Changhe asked.
"yes."
The butler leaves.
Chu Changhe looked at the various beautiful and advanced buildings in the low-Earth orbit of the Imperial City above his head.
His eyes are deep.
After stopping for a few minutes.
Chu Changhe came to the other courtyard where the queen was staying temporarily and told the emperor what he asked them to meet.
The queen just glanced at Chu Changhe silently and said nothing.
Until Chu Changhe asked a maid to help the queen.
With the help of the maid, the queen left the courtyard.
A car parked outside the gate of Chu Changhe's residence.
Chu Changhe personally opened the rear car door for the queen. After closing the car door, he took a look at the Chu family's old house, which was given to the Chu family's ancestors after they had made meritorious deeds.
The house is in the style of ancient times. There is a plaque hanging above the gate with only one golden word on it.
‘Chu’.
These were the words written by the late emperor of the royal family himself.
Since then, this golden Chu character has become the fleet emblem of the Chu family's fleet for generations.
Very flamboyant.
But no one dared to question this.
Because the Chu family has been the royal family and contributed to the Xingyao Empire for generations, they deserve this word.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Chu family is full of loyal people.
Chu Changhe took one last look at the golden Chu sign, then walked around the car and sat in the front right seat.
The car started, the suspension system was turned on, and the car was suspended in the air like an airplane, speeding towards the destination.
Ten minutes later, the car landed on the top of a mountain, where there was a splendid palace and castle.
That was the residence where Emperor Xingyao usually lived, and it was also the place where he rested during this time.
There is very strict protection around this palace and castle. There are a large number of interstellar mechas on the ground, several T2-level interstellar warships hovering in the air, and there are T3-level interstellar warships and even T4-level interstellar warships in higher places in low-Earth orbit.
-class star battleships are stationed.
Can be used to deal with any emergencies at any time!
After the car was parked, Chu Changhe personally opened the door for the queen, and the queen walked out. She did not need the help of the maid, but her eyes still looked empty.
"Queen, please." Chu Changhe said.
The queen didn't say anything and silently followed Chu Changhe into the palace.
Although there are many personal guards outside the palace and castle, few people are seen inside the castle, and the number of attendants is also very small.
After walking for more than ten minutes, an attendant blocked the way of Chu Changhe and others in front of the last gate.
"Governor Chu and the Queen, please wait here for a moment," the maid said.
Chu Changhe stopped and looked around. The surroundings were extremely quiet.
They waited like this for a long time, but no one came to summon them.
"Are there any personal attendants here? Chu Changhe and the Queen are here to pay homage to Your Majesty." Chu Changhe shouted.
No response.
Chu Changhe shouted several more times, but there was no response.
Chu Changhe frowned slightly.
At this moment, he heard the sound of something crashing in the house in front of him.
Chu Changhe asked the queen to follow him and walked quickly into the house. At the same time, he shouted: "Chu Changhe was ordered to come to pay homage to your majesty. I apologize for any rudeness."
Crossing the gate and walking into the house, you will see a huge screen in front of you, and behind the screen is the bedroom of Emperor Xingyao.
Chu Changhe walked around the screen and saw a suspended golden bed. There were curtains around the bed, and he could vaguely see someone sitting on the bed.
Beside the bed, there were fragments of a certain porcelain vase scattered everywhere.
The sound Chu Changhe heard outside just now was probably the sound of falling to the ground.
"Chu Changhe, I have been ordered to come to see His Majesty." Chu Changhe put his hand on his chest and saluted.
The figure behind the curtain did not answer.
Chu Changhe frowned slightly and stepped forward slowly: "Chu Changhe was offended."
He slowly opened the curtains, and perhaps because of his actions, the entire bed curtains automatically closed.
At this time, the figure on the bed was completely revealed.
He was a scrawny old man with white hair, completely lacking the royal aura of the rumored Emperor Xingyao.
Some purple-black spots can be seen on the skin of the body and cheeks.
Chu Changhe knew this. It was an extremely rare bacteria that was contracted by Emperor Xingyao due to an accident during his expedition.
It is also because of this that Emperor Xingyao's physical condition becomes worse and worse as he gets older.
After the death of the eldest prince broke out, Emperor Xingyao's old illness relapsed and he became seriously ill.
Unexpectedly, it has spread so seriously.
Although medical technology is now advanced, it is inevitable that there are still some special diseases that cannot be treated, and Emperor Xingyao is one of them.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Chu Changhe called several times.
But there was still no movement from the old man on the bed.
Chu Changhe quickly noticed something was wrong, and pressed his fingers on the old man's neck.
Chu Changhe's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately lifted the quilt covering the old man's body. He saw a dagger stabbing into the old man's chest, and the blood had stained the gold pajamas on his chest red.
And there is a golden Chu character on the dagger.
Chu Changhe recognized this thing. It was one of the few daggers that he preferred to keep close to his body. This preference was also well known in the Xingyao Empire.
Chu Changhe immediately noticed the mystery, and at the same time he heard the movement outside the house.
The door of the house was pushed open, and the second prince Qin Ming rushed in with a group of armed soldiers.
When Qin Ming saw his father with a dagger stuck in his chest on the bed, his expression suddenly changed and he pointed at Chu Changhe angrily: "Chu Changhe, you are so brave.
My father summoned you and the queen, and you two actually assassinated my father.
Someone, get Chu Changhe and this woman down for me.
Now I suspect that this woman not only has an affair with that guy from Cangyue Star Territory, but she even has an affair with Chu Changhe.
The two of them attempted to assassinate the emperor and rebel!"
