Chapter 188: Conspiracy
The queen immediately catered and said: "Yes, although he ordered the news to be blocked, it was still leaked, and I came to you for the same thing, I heard that Han Tianwei suddenly announced that she was going to patrol for three days, I suspect that she is going to prepare for the throne!" ”
The third prince couldn't help but feel sad in his heart and said, "How is this a good thing for me?" ”
The prime minister couldn't help but scold: "Why don't you say it's a good thing, now that Princess Claire's prestige is big enough, it is impossible for us to rebel, and we will inevitably be pointed at." But what if she dies, who else can the old emperor choose as the heir when she dies? ”
The third prince couldn't help but be shocked: "What did you say, kill Princess Claire, how to do it?" ”
Prime Minister Sen Ran sneered: "If you don't kill her, will you wait for her to take the throne and clean us up?" He paused again and said, "Now you only have this chance, even if someone doubts it, you will be the most suitable heir!" ”
The queen said: "I know where his jade seal is, when we change the edict, you can be the emperor justifiably, and when you ascend the throne, who dares to question it?" ”
"Yes, your grandfather supports you, and your mother supports you, plus Marshal Huo Hening escorts you, they can only accept their fate!" said the Prime Minister.
"That's right, kid, if Han Tianwei dies, you will be the only one who sits on the throne of God!" The queen said, "As long as we do it seamlessly!" ”
The third prince's heart was about to move, and he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Listen to you, what do you say to do?" ”
The prime minister said: "It's good to say in the palace, Marshal Huo Hening has been woken up by me, and he will send a legion to help you maintain order at any time, but it is a little difficult to hunt down Princess Claire!" ”
"How hard is it?" The third prince couldn't help but say anxiously.
The prime minister said: "We sent people too explicitly, I know the course of her Hope spaceship, but I can't send people, because I'm afraid that someone will know that we did it, and then the ten marshals will not be so polite!" ”
The third prince hurriedly said: "Then what should I do!" ”
"I'll do it!" The princess's voice rang out outside the door, and she walked in with her heavy princess dress.
When the third prince saw the princess, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Why are you here!" ”
But the princess was not angry, and said, "I'll help you!" ”
"Help me?" The third prince couldn't help but look at his grandfather.
I saw the prime minister bow slightly: "Let her speak!" ”
The princess looked at the third prince and said, "As long as you promise to make me the queen after you ascend the throne, I will let my grandfather help you!" ”
The third prince immediately said with a hippie smile: "What do you say, if I succeed to the throne, of course you will be the queen!" ”
"I want a permanent queen, and we Hemingway family want to build a kingdom, you must agree!" The princess said.
"Kingdom?" The third prince frowned and said, "Do you want to betray the Titans?" ”
The princess said: "No, we are still a vassal state of the Titans, and our kingdom will not expand, it is still Poseidon and several nearby planets, what we want is only the power of the hereditary king!" ”
"This." The third prince hesitated, hereditary nobility is not a trivial matter, this is a privilege that the royal family does not have, if the third prince does not sit on the throne, his son can only be a down-and-out noble child in the future. And hereditary succession arises only in the heirs of the emperor and the king of the vassal kingdoms.
This privilege meant more to the Titans than actual power, and once the Hemingway family became independent, it would have a high degree of autonomy, except for the limited military power, which could be said to be an emperor. Any Titan emperor who wants to endorse a vassal kingdom must think twice.
For example, in the Splendid Kingdom, it was because the Canglan family in that galaxy had completed the unification and came to surrender to the Titans that they accepted the other party's submission. To put it bluntly, this is a peaceful and friendly feat, but if a noble family becomes independent from the empire, it is a bit suspicious that the Titan Emperor is so incompetent that he allows the family to divide the territory of the empire!
The prime minister suddenly spoke: "It's not impossible to ask the third prince to promise you, how can you prove that you can make the prince disappear without realizing it?" ”
The princess sneered: "Don't forget what my grandfather did, he has been stationed on the frontier of the empire for a long time, helping the empire to quell foreign attacks and rebellions in various places, which of those interstellar pirates is not afraid of him!" ”
"You mean sending pirates?" The Prime Minister's eyes immediately lit up, if the interstellar pirates passed, it would indeed be an accident, as long as the Hemingway family arrested these pirates and quickly killed them, no one would know.
The princess said: "Of course, as long as we give them a sum of money anonymously and ask them to kill people and sell goods, they will naturally rush with their heads bored, and we can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" ”
"Good! I'm approved, as long as I ascend the throne and become emperor, your Hemingway family will be a hereditary royal family! The third prince plucked up the courage and said, he was too eager for power, or under the education of his grandfather and mother, he already took it for granted that he should be the emperor of the Titans, and what Princess Claire, His Royal Highness the Prince, it is better to die!
The princess smiled slightly: "I'll contact my grandfather, and you tell me the direction of the Hope!" ”
When the princess went to secretly contact her family, Lei Luo had already boarded the Hope spaceship with the prince.
It wasn't the first time he had seen the Hope spaceship, and he still remembered the moment when the Hope's body blocked the battleship he was on and caught the other party's attack.
The Hope spaceship as a whole is smaller than the destroyer, about more than 100 meters in diameter, but the configuration inside the hull is comparable to that of a small battleship. The ship was originally given to Princess Claire by the Titan Emperor as a birthday present, and as she traveled the universe, it was tried and tested.
After becoming the prince, the Hope has less travel, the prince has a special spaceship, responsible for official patrols, and there are also battleship formations to escort along the way, so Princess Claire has not been here for a while.
Although it didn't come, the hull was still brand new, the parts inside could always be replaced at the first time, there were three small combat ships in the hull, four escape pods, and there were also tracking missiles and beam cannons deployed outside the hull. It can be said that it is difficult for an ordinary warship force to inflict fatal damage on it!
The space jump is complete, in front of the lookout of the Hope spaceship is a huge orange planet, the whole planet is slowly rotating, looking at the mottled traces on the surface of the planet, Lei Luo wonders in his heart, such a planet is an unmanned planet at a glance, why did the prince come here?
Titans have a large population base, but because of the increasing number of habitable planets, some uninhabited planets with harsh environments are often abandoned by them, because the cost of transforming the environment and building a habitable place is too high, which makes people feel that it is not cost-effective.
That's why Lei Luo has only been in different unmanned planets a few times, but there are already creatures on the surface of the planet, but no one pays attention to them, which is probably the reason.
"Ready to land, coordinates XXXX: YYYY!" Princess Claire said to the captain.
"Target XXXX: YYYY coordinates, coordinates confirmed, ready for landing!" The captain ordered.
The navigator said: "The coordinates are determined, ready to enter the atmosphere!" ”
Captain: "Attention all crew, fasten your seatbelts and prepare to enter the atmosphere with a 10-second countdown!" ”
Lei Luo and the others immediately sat behind the princess, the seat belt automatically popped out, and as soon as the buttons were fastened, the spacecraft vibrated violently, and then roared into the surface of the planet.
The spaceship continued to advance and get closer and closer to the surface, and Lei Luo could see through the lookout that the giant beasts on the ground were rushing, and they were actually as mighty as a sand storm, and it was estimated that they were frightened by the sudden appearance of the huge hull of the Hope spaceship.
Laugh at~! The spacecraft landed on the ground, the air pressure valve opened, and the hatch slowly opened. The four armored warriors immediately rushed down with beam weapons in their hands, and after they were separated, Her Royal Highness the Princess walked down with graceful steps.
Lei Luo and another guard followed, while Zero followed with a small group of guards.
In front of Lei Luo was a cliff valley, where he was standing was level with the opposite side, but a huge canyon cut the two sides apart. Upstream along the canyon, there is a huge waterfall, but the water of the waterfall is not crystal clear, but turbid.
This reminded Lei Luo of the Yellow River, but Her Royal Highness the Princess said, "Prepare a small battle spaceship, let's go down!" ”
Zero couldn't help but say, "Isn't it dangerous down there?" ”
The princess looked at him and said, "Why are there so many problems?" ”
Faced with the prince's dislike, Zero didn't dare to ask again, and immediately gave an order.
The two battle ships departed, and the princess took the two of them into one, and then took off and flew into the depths of the canyon. The ships behind took off on their heels.
Flying all the way under the canyon, Lei Luo soon found that Her Royal Highness the princess was looking left and right as if she was looking for something, she looked around, and suddenly said to the pilot: "Look there, a cave, drive in!" ”
Only then did Lei Luo see that there was a man-high cave near the waterfall, and the entrance of the cave was in a "herringbone shape" that looked natural.
Because the entrance to the cave was not large, the driver said, "Your Highness, the hull is too big to drive in." ”
Princess Claire said, "Find a landing spot nearby, we need to enter the cave!" ”
"Your Highness is personally involved in danger, what is wrong!" Lei Luo couldn't help but question.
The princess looked back at him and said in a cold tone, "I must go to this matter myself." ”
What the hell is going on. Do you want a princess to do it herself? Lei Luo had to ask the driver, "Do you have any tools to help you climb?" ”
The driver immediately pointed behind him and said, "There's a toolbox there, there should be some rope in it." ”
Lei Luo opened the toolbox, which was neatly arranged with various repair tools, cables, and even a pickaxe and spikes. So he said, "I'll go up first, and then I'll let the ropes down and pull you up." ”
The princess immediately said, "Good! ”
The ship soon landed on a boulder on a river beach, and Relo couldn't help but take a pickaxe and carry a cable to the edge of the cliff. He looked up at the entrance of the cave, conservatively estimated that it should be sixty or seventy meters high, not too difficult, and the eyes around him looked quite solid, and immediately began to hold a pickaxe to help him climb.
