Chapter 591: Fate and Fortune (II)
Wig. As soon as Rockefeller saw his Yuan partner arrive, he immediately greeted him excitedly as if he had a backbone.
"It's good if you're back!" He looked at her eagerly and said, "I heard that my father sent you to the front line to inspect the front, why did you come back so soon?" ”
"There's something big going on in the Prison Soul Star Sea, so I have to rush back and ask my father for advice!" Annabel said casually, seeing that Arden was still kneeling and crying, a wave of anger rose in his heart, and his voice became cold:
"What are you still doing here? That guy is tricking his father to change his mind! It's good that you're the main master, you actually stay on the side and watch the play like you're a nobody! If my father's heart really softens and changes, I'll see what you do! ”
Facing the accusation of the crown princess, Weig shrunk his neck and said with some embarrassment: "Arden...... It's a bit excessive! But after all, I am the eldest prince of my father, and my foundation in the court is also very solid! With the support of the mother and uncle, the father will not let go easily, right? ”
"Things must not be taken lightly until the last minute!" Annabel frowned and glanced at him with some annoyance, "When people are dying, that mind is the most elusive!" Any accident can happen! If you don't stay by your father's side at this time, you may really let that kid turn the tables, and then you will become the laughing stock of the empire! ”
"I ...... Not really! Can this imperial throne cry? Arden's trick, how could his father not see it? Still unconvinced, Wig whispered a plea of his own.
"Of course, it doesn't have any effect for others to cry, but he's different!" Annabel sighed and looked at her man, a palpable look of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
On the couch, the old emperor finally opened his eyes, turned his head sideways to look at his favorite son, and said with a slightly wry smile:
"Arden, my child! It's not that I'm unwilling to grant your wishes, but you're still too young, though your talents are far superior to your brother's! But as a successful king, you need too many things! And you, you don't quite have these qualifications!
If I have ten years left, I will definitely give you this burden! Unfortunately, I don't have time left! The empire also has no time! Can you understand the difficulties of your father? ”
Although the ability of the second prince Weige is not outstanding, it is also above the qualified level! It's just that the heart is a little weak and afraid of guilt! His mother is the old emperor's favorite concubine, and several uncles are all in power, and they have been in business for a long time, so they have many supporters in the court!
And in addition to Arden's own outstanding ability, there is nothing else that can compare to the second prince! His mother came from a humble background, and there was no power that could help him! There are many officials in the DPRK who appreciate him, but there are not many who are willing to press the treasure on his side!
What's more, Weig has an extremely powerful crown princess, who is the daughter of the prime minister of the empire, who is shrewd and capable, decisive, and has excellent abilities! Coupled with his father's huge network of contacts, his position in the DPRK is very important!
Wigg has been able to keep his position as the prince for so many years, and the support of Annabel and his family has played a vital role!
If the old emperor can drag on for a few years, maybe Arden still has some hope, but now, it's useless to say anything!
Therefore, now Arden has been forced into a desperate situation! On the day when the old emperor returned to heaven, he, the once most favored prince, was afraid that it would be difficult to save his life! What else can he do except come over and cry and play the family card?
Seeing that he still wanted to say something, the old emperor waved his hand and said with a tired expression: "Okay, you go back first!" Think about it again! ”
Arden stood up helplessly, bowed, and slowly withdrew.
Looking at his back, the old emperor shook his head, sighed regretfully, and muttered: "Child, how good it would be if you were born a few years earlier, how can there be today's disputes!" Now that the Star Sea World is facing an eventful season, the potential crisis of the empire is not small! There are some things that I really ...... Dilemma! ”
At the door, Arden saw his brother and sister-in-law standing at the door, staring at him indifferently!
Even though he was unhappy, he was unwilling to completely tear his face at this time, and still maintained impeccable politeness to say hello, and never slackened at all!
Wig didn't have too obvious hostility, and said a few polite words coldly and irrationally! As for his crown princess, her attitude is much more direct!
"For the past few days, you have been crying and crying in front of your father! It's really hard for you! She said sarcastically, "I wonder if my father has changed his mind?" Counting on an empire with a tearful offensive? Hum! What a strange story for the ages! ”
Arden's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Your words can't be said without any reason. However, I always believe that with my ability, I am qualified enough to inherit the empire, and I am more qualified than the second emperor brother to continue the grand cause that my father has not yet completed!
With his father's wisdom and martial arts, he would not fail to see this! I firmly believe that in just a few days, my father will definitely figure it out! ”
"Really? You feel pretty good about yourself! Annabel said disdainfully, "Your Highness Arden, the Imperial Artifact is not something that someone like you can touch!" I advise you to announce your withdrawal as soon as possible, for the sake of you being also a royal bloodline, we will continue to let you be an idle prince, and you will live in peace and happiness in the future! Otherwise, don't blame us for being polite! ”
"The big picture is undecided, do you think you are now qualified to pronounce my fate?" Arden frowned slightly, and said unashamedly.
"Your fate is sealed from the moment you are born!" Annabel's tone was sharp and aggressive:
"You may have the ability to be an emperor, but ability is not the whole story of fate! You don't have the life to be the emperor at all, because you're a little bit off luck! There are some things that you didn't have when you were born and will never have them again! ”
Arden's body trembled, his face finally had some gloom, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
Annabel raised her head haughtily, glanced at him with disdain, and turned to enter the door.
The old emperor was leaning on the couch, and was about to take a nap for a while, when he heard the familiar footsteps, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was her who had come in, and a smile appeared on his old face like dead bark.
"Annabel, you're here! Is there something important? He said gently, raised his hand slightly, and the two palace maids hurriedly stepped forward and helped him sit up.
The crown princess saluted elegantly, and then said respectfully: "What my father said is right, something big has indeed happened!" It may affect the future strategic plans of the Empire! ”
"Oh?" The old emperor's expression became serious, and his dim eyes suddenly burst out with a dazzling essence, and the momentum was so cold that even the crown princess, whose eyes were above the top, felt a little weak in her heart.
The one in front of him is, after all, a generation of heroes who have controlled the empire for many years! Although he is now old, as long as he does not die, he will still be the supreme ruler of the empire! This is a fact that no one can deny!
"Say it! What is going on? He waved his hand slightly, motioned for all the palace maids to withdraw, and closed the door of the palace, and then asked.
"That's right! ...... from the Hellsoul Star Sea, Annabel opened his suitcase, took out a document and presented it to him, detailing what he had discovered.
The old emperor listened attentively, occasionally interjecting to ask a few words.
“…… That's it! I don't know what you're going to do, Father! Annabel concluded.
He pondered for a while before he said slowly: "This guy Phylosis, after years of hard work, is finally done!" But he never thought that he would cheapen others, and after such a blow, would he still be able to hold on? ”
Annabel said: "Emperor Ferrosis the Great is coming to an end, and many forces in the country have begun to act secretly to prepare for the change of dynasty!" ”
The old emperor said with some emotion: "This guy can be regarded as my old opponent for many years!" Yingwu I, who has never suffered any big losses, never imagined that he would encounter the danger of losing the country in his later years! Ay! ”
He coughed lightly, his eyes drifting to the small table beside him, and Annabel hurriedly took the tea cup on it and brought it to him.
"We have made a lot of progress in the war with the Republic of Black, and it may take half a year to make this great country disappear completely!" Taking a sip of tea, the old emperor said unhurriedly:
"Maybe I should convene the secretaries to make an account, draw some troops from the front line, and allocate another batch of supplies to send to our old friends!"
Annabel couldn't help but be surprised: "Father! Although the Tiroa Empire has suffered defeat, it is possible that the Starlight Empire will be completely expelled from the Prison Soul Star Sea! However, the foundation of the empire for many years is there, and the roots are deep! It's not that easy to collapse, is it?
What's more, even if that Yun Haoyu swallows the Prison Soul Star Sea, it will take a long time to digest and integrate! How could they start another expedition so soon? ”
"Kid, you don't understand!" The old emperor put down the teacup and said leisurely:
"Pherosis can't last long, his children, except for the fourth prince Orofi, who is worthy of the big responsibility, the rest are nothing! This is good news and bad news for us!
The ultimate goal of doing this is for ourselves! ”
Annabel seemed to have understood, and muttered silently.
The old emperor's thin and shriveled hands trembled and picked up the document, and looked at the young emperor in the cover photo, as if he was talking to her, and as if he was talking to himself:
"A great young man, a terrible opponent! Ignorance...... Can this kid be with him for a long time! ”
In an instant, Annabel's face turned iron-blue, and a touch of murderous intent in her eyes was fleeting!
