Chapter 239: House Arrest
For the people of Xipang, the sixteenth year of the new millennium of the ephemeris is a very turbulent and difficult year, in this year, the war launched by the Xipang army against the homeland of the Eagle Country was a major setback, and the people of the Eagle Country achieved the victory of the lower Sanyan star field, and gathered heavy troops to break through the defense line of the eastern star field of Xipang, forcing the Xipang army to retreat continuously, advancing and occupying the important strategic planets of Xipang including Calle, Angbao, and Pu Ci Xingdun, and obtained a strategic bridgehead and completed the preparation of a large-scale general attack.

At the same time, there were also storms and rains in Xipang, not only a large number of officers were purged, people in important positions were constantly replaced, the political situation was unstable, and Heimerding was seriously ill and retreated into the background, followed by the news of his death, which shocked the entire empire like a thunder fall.
This is the most turbulent news of this year.
Fortunately, the eldest prince Su Ketai had already taken care of the government in advance, and the moment before Heimerding died of a heart attack, Su Ketai was still listening to his instructions on related matters, according to the notice of the palace, Heimerding seemed to know that his time was short, and explained a lot of political affairs to him. At the time of Hemerdin's illness, several doctors in Sanssouci Palace arrived as soon as possible, trying to save Hemerdin's life, but unfortunately to no avail. It can only be announced that at midnight, Hemerding is completely dead.
Heimerding, who had made Sipon strong and powerful, but dragged the west into the quagmire of war, died, and the new king, Suketai, whom he had chosen to govern, was immediately succeeded by constitutional force, and he handled the affairs left by Heimerding on the one hand, and on the other hand he was to perform a state funeral for Hemerdin.
In the process, he met with the most important members of the royal family.
Princess Josese had a haggard face and wept many times because of Black Merdine's death. Su Keyin's eyes were also red, and during the whole process, he tried to make eye contact with Su Ketai, but Su Ketai's eyes kept flickering, and he didn't make any contact with him.
Sukhtai continued to speak the predetermined words until the end of the day, when the four clerks in charge of recording the matter got up and left the audience room, leaving the three siblings behind. Su Ketai patted Joses, who was wearing a black dress and was extremely sad, on the shoulder, and was about to leave, Su Keyin suddenly stopped him, "Su Ketai! Can you explain these things? ”
Jose turned his head and looked at his second brother in confusion, and then looked at Su Ketai, his eyes were puzzled, but he vaguely felt something, and his heart tightened.
"The day before you went to see my father, I received a summons from him." Sukein said.
Jose looked at Su Keyin in amazement, because everyone knew that the most unpleasant thing about Heimerdin was this second brother, and if his father summoned him for the first time, what would it mean?
"Yes," Suktai, who was at the door, stopped and turned his head, his eyes were bloodless, making his face look like two black mist, "what did he say to you?" ”
"He told me that he intended to remove you from your position of governor because of your recklessness, and he told me that I would save the country in his place...... In my own way, to save the country. "So you can explain it to me...... Why did he suddenly fall ill and die the night after I summoned me to say these words to me, while meeting with you? ”
Jose pressed her lips and stared at Suktay in disbelief.
Suktai laughed, his smile tugging at his facial muscles, causing ugly folds on the wings where his cheekbones were located, "So you mean, why didn't my father announce your ridiculous conjectures before he died, but I, the one with the most legitimate inheritance, shouldn't inherit the throne and take over the country?" ”
"Su Keyin, are you crazy? Or are you immersed in your own hallucinations? Suktai spread his hands and looked at Joses, "Is our father such a man?" Will he call Sukein, who is usually arrogant and arrogant against him, and tell him in a pleading tone to save the country? What does that mean, is it that he admits that the country is hopeless? It's ridiculous...... The Great Emperor Heimerding even admitted that the country he managed was so badly damaged that he needed someone to save it, and this person is still you, Su Keyin! Big joke! ”
Joses's beautiful eyes stared ahead, but she was confused and unfocused.
Intuitively, she felt that her second brother had a wave of anger from the beginning, and this anger only broke out at this time, and the things he said were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for her, and it was difficult to accept at all, but she thought that it was impossible for the second brother to run out and deceive people at such a time, these words were true, so it meant that Su Ketai had done something that people and gods were angry about.
However, Sukhtay's rebuttal immediately made Joses sway, because what he said was reasonable and well-founded, and if his father, Emperor Heimerdin, was really as Sukein said, it would be too abnormal, and this was not Heimerding's character and style at all. How can such a strong person deny that his former ideas are wrong?
However, the two people in front of him are the people Jose trusts the most without reservation. But who to trust now?
Almost subconsciously, Joses thought of the young man, who had gone down to his safety after the feast, while his men reported that Hannibal had disappeared.
The words that Hannibal had spoken to her came back to her mind.
"What if I say...... In order to defeat your second brother in one fell swoop, your eldest brother framed the people of Yunhu Star Domain, and then intended me to give false testimony, and even testify against them and your second brother, and all this is at your price for luring me, will you agree with me to do this......"
In this way, every word and sentence is deeply imprinted in Jose's mind. This sentence provoked a violent reaction from her at the time, and she accused him of lying, and did not allow him to slander the person who was her closest relative, and even because of this, the two broke down, and said things that did not see each other.
At this moment, Joses only felt a huge black hole around her, grabbing and tightening her insecure, pulling towards the deep void.
The second brother Su Keyin's words revealed that the content was very frightening. And if this is the real Suketai, this is the true face of her eldest brother, then what the young man said is true, his eldest brother used her to win him over, and asked him to make accusations against innocent people, just to fight his second brother, it is all true!
"Your second brother is probably under so much pressure that he has some mental problems, let's go." A hand touched Joses's back, but Joses was no less than being touched by the tentacles of some terrifying and sinister creature at the moment, and her frightened body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously moved a step to the side.
Suktai's hand patting her back slid away from the side and hung down.
Then Joses saw his expression, which was extremely hideous.
"Very good...... You're all the same...... Very good. ”
Suktai opened the door.
As soon as Hemerdine died, he entered Sanssouci Palace, and the new royal guards, who had replaced all the original guards, followed closely with loaded guns, and the footsteps were dense, and the guards circled around the audience hall, encircling Sukein and Joses.
Sukein put his arm around Jose's shoulders and looked at everything around him indifferently.
Jose leaned against Sukein's collarbone, her eyes flushed as she looked at Sukein, her body trembling slightly.
"The Emperor has just passed away, and the capital stars are on alert, and now the world is not peaceful, and there are spies of the Eagle Nation and thugs of the opposition everywhere...... Don't move around, just stay here in Sanssouci Palace, and the guards will protect you. ”
After explaining these words, Su Ketai turned around and walked outside, and the door of the hall slowly closed.
***
Su Keyin and Jose were placed under house arrest in the palace behind Sanssouci Palace, the guards were not within thirty meters of the two of them, and they were not restricted in their activities in the palace, but it seemed that they could not get out of here at all, and the brother and sister walked in the palace.
Every brick and tree here is so familiar, and in the back garden, there are grassy slopes and lakes where they used to play and tumble together, and the century-old trees by the lake are still flourishing, and new shoots are sprouting in the tender green.
Joses looked at the tree and smiled softly, "Do you remember when the three of us dared to jump into the water by the edge of that tree?" You and Su Ketai both fell into the water one after another, but I didn't dare to jump when I saw the difference of five or six meters, and then you held each other with your hands and said to jump down to catch me, I mustered up the courage to jump down, and as a result, the handsome faces of both of you were stepped on with a red and swollen footprint...... It made me laugh for three days. ”
Su Keyin also laughed, but it seemed that it was such a happy past that made the cruelty of the development of the world more and more set off today.
Joses muttered, "Are we going to die?" Will it be killed by Big Brother? ”
Su Keyin's lips moved, and finally said, "I'll protect you." ”
"Brother, in this life, do you have any regrets?" Jose said, "There will always be regrets in life, but fortunately, there is a future." But now, we probably don't even have a future. ”
Sukein thought for a moment and said, "There are many things that I regret, the most recent one is that when Hemerdin asked me to take over the throne, I didn't let him leave a note or tell him to be careful of Suketai. ”
Joses said, "Then there are many things I regret, the most recent one...... I just didn't pay attention to Count Hannibal's warning, otherwise I told my father that he might have made the right response, and it wouldn't have been like this. ”
Joses found a grassy slope on the shore of the lake and sat down, his hands around his knees, "...... The man...... Told him there would be no goodbye, and he literally left...... It's good to stay away from right and wrong......"
Joses's eyes darkened, "Staying away from us cursed royals is the wisest decision......
