Chapter 192: Emperor Xu
Just as Princess Claire was fleeing with Lei Luo's corpse, the Titan Empire had already received the news of the Prince's death. The third prince couldn't wait to meet with the prime minister: "How is it, is it done?" β
The princess sat on the side and took a sip of coffee and said, "The people sent by my grandfather will only succeed and will not fail!" β
The prime minister looked at the third prince and smiled: "Just now the cabinet has received news that the Hope has been ambushed by interstellar pirates, and the entire spaceship has crashed!" β
"What about Han Tianwei, is that little girl dead?" The third prince asked urgently.
The Prime Minister patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, it's not even worse in the past two days, Princess Claire's wristband shows that she is still alive, but as long as we kill before the rescue team finds her, this throne will definitely be yours!" β
The third prince took a deep breath: "Her life is so hard!" β
"She only has one guard left and she has escaped to an unmanned planet called 'Xus', I have already sent someone to chase and kill, and the military estimates that it will take at least two days to get there!" The Prime Minister said: "If we hinder their efficiency a little!" β
"How?" The third prince asked.
"How?" The prime minister looked at the third prince: "Go to Your Majesty, tell him this painful news, and let him be ready to pass the throne to you, once the princess disappears, you can rightfully succeed to the throne!" β
"Will my father give in?"
"Does he have a choice, the empire or such a princess who doesn't know life and death?" The prime minister sneered silently, and then looked at the princess: "Can Her Royal Highness ensure that the news does not leak?" β
"We've long since gone without a trace of that pirate force!" The princess stood up from the couch as she spoke: "You talk, I'm waiting for your good news!" He walked out slowly.
As soon as the princess left, the prime minister couldn't help sneering: "This girl has a lot of ambitions!" β
The third prince smiled: "It's okay, although she is not ambitious, she is actually too naΓ―ve!" β
The prime minister nodded and said: "The Hemingway family will definitely not be able to stay, they can actually manipulate pirate attacks, I think the many pirate robberies in the past ten years are inseparable from them!" β
"The pirate ship that can destroy the Hope, I'm afraid the scale is definitely not lower than the level of a battleship, right?" The third prince groaned.
The prime minister nodded: "The news over there is that it's a dilapidated battleship!" β
"Battleship!" The murderous intent in the eyes of the third prince was obvious: "It seems that the Hemingway family has controlled the entire southern frontier, and the pirates are likely to have been controlled by them for a long time!" β
"So I said I couldn't stay, we promised them first, and when your throne is secured, we will destroy them!" said the Prime Minister.
"Yes, we must not let any hidden tumors flow in my territory, they can only be my stepping stones, and one day they will all be trampled under my feet!" The third prince said in a low voice, as if he had already sat on the throne of God.
"Don't mention these now, the queen already knows where the jade seal is, as long as we control the palace, your edict can also come out, and we will go over overnight now!" The prime minister said and pulled the third prince and walked out, saying as he walked: "Pretend to be a little bit to show that you are sad enough!" β
The grief of the three princes only felt that they wanted to laugh more, and they laughed out loud, and a big thing was just around the corner, how to be sad!
A group of people rushed to the gate of the palace overnight and saw the guards stop them: "Royal land, no entry!" β
The prime minister stepped forward and looked at the man: "Camp Commander Han, it's me!" β
Camp Commander Han looked sideways and said in surprise: "Prime Minister! β
"And this king!" The third prince followed and walked out of the crowd and said.
Battalion Commander Han instantly felt bad in his heart, and he couldn't help but say: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Third Prince, I don't know why the two of you came to visit late at night?" β
The prime minister said: "If it were an ordinary matter, we would not disturb Your Majesty at such a time, but this matter is related to the future of the country, so I can't help but come overnight." β
"Your Majesty's health is not as good as before, no matter how big things are at midnight, you shouldn't bother" Camp Commander Han was just halfway through his words, when a voice came from behind him.
"The Queen Mother invites them to meet Your Majesty!" The chamberlain said.
Camp Commander Han couldn't help but look at the waiter: "Is there a warrant?" β
The waiter said expressionlessly: "The queen mother will give you a connection communication soon!" As soon as the chamberlain finished speaking, Camp Commander Han's wristband sounded.
Battalion Commander Han walked to the barracks and connected the phone, and after a minute, he walked out and said to his subordinate guards: "Release!" β
The guards retreated to the side with their weapons, and the third prince grabbed the prime minister's hand and whispered, "Grandpa, they will be my escort soon, right?" β
It's no wonder that the third prince cares so much, before Princess Claire became the prince, there were only four fourth-level warriors as guards, and the third prince was six, but since Princess Claire became the prince, she was always followed by a bunch of fourth-level guards. Even the entire Royal Guard Regiment was at her disposal.
The Prime Minister said: "It's yours, everything in the future will be yours!" β
The third prince walked with his chamberlain to the emperor's palace with excitement, and his mother, the empress of the empire, had been standing there for a long time.
"My little darling, you're finally here!" The queen looked at him dotingly and said.
"Queen Mother!" The third prince took a deep breath, and looked at the gate of the dormitory with the excitement in his heart, and behind this door, there lived the emperor of the empire, an old man in the twilight.
"Are you ready?" The queen patted the third prince on the shoulder and asked.
The third prince nodded, and the queen looked at her father, the prime minister, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, the third prince and the prime minister came to see each other overnight, saying that something big had happened!" β
"Come in!" The door opened from the inside, and out came a chamberlain, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, please!" β
When the three of them entered the room one after another, they saw the old emperor lying behind the curtain, and he had changed so much that the third prince almost did not recognize this man as his father.
"Father!" The third prince looked at the emperor with some fright, in his impression that the emperor had always been a little blessed, and always had a big belly in front of him, but the old man in front of him who was about to run out of oil and lamps had a withered face, sunken eyes, and his whole body looked like he was wrapped in skin and bones.
"You are here," said the Emperor after a few breaths, "Say something terrible!" β
The third prince looked at the prime minister, and the prime minister couldn't help but bow down and said, "Your Majesty, just now came the news that His Royal Highness the Prince Prince's spaceship has crashed."
"What?" The old emperor coughed a little excitedly: "You say it again!" β
"His Royal Highness's spaceship has crashed," the Prime Minister said, pretending to be in pain.
"Why did it crash?" The old emperor suddenly turned his head and glared at the three of them: "Did the three of you do it, you can't wait for this position?" β
"Where does the father say, how dare the sons!" The third prince grabbed the old emperor's hand and said, "We only know that a group of interstellar pirates attacked the Prince's Hope, and no one on board was spared."
"Interstellar pirates, no one is spared?" The old emperor laughed, looked at the queen and the prime minister behind him and said, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect you to be so mad, now, is it my turn?" β
"Father!" The third prince couldn't help but say angrily: "Why, why do you only have that cold Tianwei in your eyes, your granddaughter, I am your son, my own son, the youngest son!" β
"Why, why have you favored her since you were a child, am I not good enough, not good enough to inherit your inheritance?" The third prince's emotions were a little out of control, and his eyes when he looked at the old emperor were almost bloodshot, like a beast, as if he could tear apart the person in front of him.
"Why?" The old emperor smiled dumbly: "Should you ask yourself if you are worthy?" The old emperor looked at the two people behind the third prince mockingly and said, "Don't you think that you have always been someone else's puppet?" β
Everyone's shoulders trembled, and the third prince stared at his father with wide eyes, and the old emperor gasped and said, "You, do you have a true self?" β
yes, do you have one? Wasn't your life planned by your mother and grandfather? From an early age, you can enjoy elite education and cultivate a sense of superiority, even if you want to be an emperor, it is the concept they instilled in you, and what do you want to live yourself, do you know?
You're just afraid of losing, losing that sense of superiority, you're afraid of losing the power to be seen and subservient, have you really asked yourself what you want to live?
Or rather, you have always been a spoiled child since you were a child. Does your will matter, you are just fulfilling the expectations that the Queen Mother has given you and the ambitions of the Prime Minister. At that moment, the third prince only felt that his heart was sluggish, and he finally understood why the emperor was always cold to him, because he had already been spoiled.
"But, but you are my father, have you fulfilled the responsibilities of a father?" The third prince suddenly roared: "When your child is lost, have you gone to save him?" You don't, you're eccentric, eccentricity doesn't need a reason! His foaming stars almost splattered on the old emperor's face.
The old emperor smiled: "Yes, I am not a competent father, but you have to remember that I am a competent emperor!" β
"Hehehehehe" The third prince laughed dryly, his throat seemed to be emptied, and he let out a piercing laugh, his tears rolled down, and he said: "I will also become an emperor, and I will be an even more competent emperor than you, I will plant the banner of the Titan all over the universe, and I will tell everyone that I am the most competent emperor!" β
"If you are ambitious and talented, you will definitely die!" The old emperor said coldly.
"Shut up!" The third prince shouted hideously, he grabbed the pillow at the emperor's bedside and pressed it on the old emperor's head: "Die, you die, I don't need you to point fingers there anymore!" β
"Kid!" The queen jumped and grabbed the hand of the third prince and wanted to drag him away, but he pressed on the pillow with all his strength to cover the emperor to death, and he shouted in his mouth: "Die, you die, everything you have will be mine, it is mine!" β
