Chapter 869: A New Situation

The strong man's face was full of horror and disbelief, and the corpse stood in place for a few seconds before he fell straight down, not blinking!

Annabel stretched out her hand, and the black light disappeared into her white palm along with the white rainbow!

The palace guards on both sides of the gate are still strictly guarding their respective posts, all expressionless! Turning a blind eye to this scene just now, as if nothing had happened!

She lifted her feet into the temple gate, and walked there with great ease, and there was no second blind man who dared to stop her along the way!

In the depths of the inner courtyard of the palace, a handsome young man in his twenties, who looked heroic, was half-kneeling in front of a sleeping couch, and his face was sad to tell something. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the couch was a majestic old man dressed in a golden robe, wrinkled, extremely thin, and looking old. At this time, he was slightly closing his eyes and saying nothing, as if he was listening to the words of the young man, and as if he had already wandered into a thing!

Several palace maids waited cautiously on the sidelines, ready to be called at any time.

There is also a man in his forties at the door, with a slightly chubby body, who looks like he has good facial features and a graceful bearing! It's just a little weak, his eyes are a little erratic, and his appearance is much worse than the one there!

He stood in the doorway, watching the young men perform hard, and he also looked a little cowering and hesitating. For a while, I didn't understand whether I was in or out, and I didn't understand it!

“…… Father, the son is really unwilling! In terms of talent and knowledge, fierce combat effectiveness and cultivation, and contributions to the empire, which point of the son is inferior to the second brother? But just because his son was born a few years later than him, this throne will definitely be his! Why? ”

The young man cried with tears in his eyes, now it has reached a critical moment, the old emperor is not in good health, and every day is not as good as a day, according to the news that the cronies in the inner servant secretly gave him bloom, maybe it will be in the past few days! Therefore, he had no choice but to use his father's favor for him, and use all his resources to use his family affection offensive to force his father to change his mind before he died!

The one on the couch is the second most powerful country in the Star Sea World after the Gnaslock Empire, the emperor of the Rockefeller Empire. Till. Rockefeller!

Although the fierce combat power of this empire is not the strongest, her royal family is the oldest! Its origins can even be traced back to that huge family race in the Earth Age!

After human society entered the interstellar age, many ancient family races that were once prominent on the earth have declined one after another, but the luck of this family race is as prosperous as ever! The power is increasing, and the country was founded thousands of years ago, and the glory of the family race has continued to the present!

At this time when the human world has not changed for a thousand years, old Anderson is certainly not willing to let the inheritance of the empire and the royal family disappear! Therefore, we also began to plan a unified plan!

After annexing hundreds of small and medium-sized countries around him, his eyes were set on the neighboring Republic of Black!

After several years of confrontation, the Rockefeller Empire has already occupied a large advantage, and it is no longer an unattainable dream to achieve it! However, Anderson finally said that he was old, and he worked hard day and night on state affairs, coupled with the indulgence of his private life, and finally hollowed out his body!

After the old emperor fell ill, a storm began to brew in the court, and all forces held back their strength, striving to seek a lot of benefits for their own camp in the process of changing the dynasty!

There are a total of seven adult princes and princesses in the royal family, combined with the order of the eldest and youngest, their own talents and abilities, the power of the mother race, the contribution to the empire, the support of the close forces that can be won and a series of reasons! At present, the most vocal is the second prince Wig. Rockefeller, and the eleventh prince Arden. Rockefeller!

In terms of personal ability alone, Arden is undoubtedly the most outstanding among the children of this generation of royals, and is known as the brightest star of the empire!

His temperament and appearance are very similar to Anderson when he was young, and he is still the youngest heir, the emperor is very happy, and he is far more spoiled than those brothers!

It's a pity that his mother is just an ordinary palace maid! No matter how good he is, his humble background has become his fatal weakness! In addition, he is still young, and he has not had time to run a strong enough force in the court to support himself, and because of this, he has always been competing for his relatively mediocre second brother!

I guess there are still a few years left, so I can plan slowly! Why don't you let the second brother who is not a weapon snatch his own seat! I never estimated that the emperor suddenly fell ill, and all plans were disrupted! This time I came to cry and beg, but I had no choice but to do it!

At this time, Annabel had already arrived outside the door, and when she saw the scene in the cabin, her eyes flashed with a hint of calmness!

Wig. As soon as Rockefeller saw his own partner arrive, he 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 appointed you to patrol the front line, 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 a countermeasure!" Annabel said casually, seeing that Arden was still kneeling and crying, a wave of anger appeared in his heart, and his voice became cold:

"What are you doing here? That guy is tricking his father into changing his mind! It's good that you're the main master, but I didn't expect to stay on the side and watch the show like an unhindered person! If my father's heart really softens and changes his hexagram, I see how you can fix it! ”

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 and the emperor are not only concerned about releasing easily? ”

"Things must not be taken lightly until the last minute!" Annabel frowned and glanced at him with some annoyance,

"When a man is dying, the mind is the most elusive! Any accident may 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 only about! Can this imperial throne cry? Arden's trick, the wisdom of his father, why might he not be able to see it? Wigg was still unconvinced, and whispered a defense for himself.

"Of course, it doesn't have much effect for others to cry, but he's different!" Annabel sighed softly 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 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! However, there are so many things that are needed to be a successful king! And you, you don't quite have these qualifications!

If I have ten years to go, I'll definitely hand over this burden to you! Unfortunately, I don't have time left! The empire also has no time! Can you understand my father's difficulties? ”

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 have rewarded 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 concubine of the imperial minister, who is shrewd and capable, decisive, and has excellent ability! 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 spared no effort to play a vital role!

If the old emperor can drag on for a few years, there is still some hope for Arden, but at the moment, it is useless to say anything!

Therefore, the current Arden has been driven into a desperate embarrassing situation! On the day when the old emperor returned to heaven, he, the most favored prince in the past, was afraid that it would be difficult to save his life! In addition to coming over to cry and beg, what else can he do?

Seeing that he was still trying to say something, the old emperor waved his hand and said with a tired expression: "Okay, you go back first!" Rong Zhen take a good look again! ”

Arden stood up helplessly, bowed, and slowly retreated away for a while.

Looking at his back, the old emperor shook his head, sighed lightly with a little unhappiness, 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 ...... What a dilemma! ”

At the door, Arden saw his brother and sister-in-law standing at the door, staring at him with disdain!

Even though he was unhappy in his heart, 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! However, the attitude of the crown princess about him is much more direct!

"For the past few days, you have been crying and crying in front of your father's eyes! It's really hard for you! She said sarcastically,

"I wonder if my father has changed his mind? Expecting an empire to be gained by the Tears 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, more qualified than the second emperor's brother, and continue my father's unfinished grand cause!

With his father's wisdom and martial arts, he wouldn't look at it! I firmly believe that in just a few days, my father will definitely figure it out! ”

"Huh? 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, I will continue to let you be an idle prince, and then you will live in peace and leisure! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

"The big picture is undecided, do you feel that 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 almost have what it takes to be an emperor, but power isn't all that determines your 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 were born without and will never have! ”

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 thinking about taking 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, it is indeed a big event!" It will almost 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 empty 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! What is going on? He waved his hand lightly, motioned for all the palace maids to retreat for a while, and closed the door of the palace, so he asked.

"That's how it is! ...... from the Hellsoul Star Sea, Annabel opened his suitcase, took out a document and presented it to him, detailing the situation he had observed.

The old emperor listened with his heart, occasionally interjecting to ask a few words.

“…… That's the way it is! I don't know what you want to do, Father! Annabel concluded.

He pondered for a while before he said slowly: "This guy Pherosis has worked hard for several years, and he is finally done!" But he never estimated that he had cheapened others, and after such a blow, could he still 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 mixed feelings: "This guy is almost my old opponent for many years!" Yingwu I, who has never suffered any big losses, is estimated to have encountered the danger of losing the country in his old age! 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.
