The "meeting" in the main hall ended successfully, and after everyone dispersed, Chen Rui was left behind by Emperor Rex.

"You surprised me, my son, that you are actually the Sect Master?

Because Bixia didn't ask. ”

Rex's eyes flashed: "Then I now formally ask you, what have you gained in the past seven years?"

"To be precise, it's the ...... Some ability to survive," Chen Rui looked very calm, "Arthur back then, he was already dead, and he died under a knife in the back. I don't remember the person who stabbed the knife, maybe it was a terrible enemy, or maybe it was an even more terrible relative. One such lesson is enough. Now that I am at least not sold by others anymore, I will gratefully count the money for others. ”

Rex savored the meaning of these words, and was silent in thought.

"If Bixia doesn't have anything else to do, I'll retire first. Chen Rui bowed.

"Tonight, you can go to the Ziyuan Palace, there is someone waiting for you there. Rex spoke suddenly.

"Ziyuan Palace?" This familiar place name made the depths of Chen Rui's memory throb again, and the blue eyes engraved in his heart appeared in his mind, as deep as the sea, and many silent memory fragments began to revive again.

"Tonight?"

"Just tonight. Rex said indifferently: "You should understand, she is Sophie's concubine, although your short-lived uncle has been dead for a long time, but after all, it is your uncle, do you understand?"

Chen Rui rubbed his temples: "I seem to remember something, back then, as the noble daughter of the Blue Yao Empire and the teacher of Starlight Academy, she finally became a victim of a marriage with an old guy. It was also instigated by Bixia. ”

"Not bad. ”

"For the good of the Empire?"

"For the good of the Empire!" Rex's tone was categorical.

Therefore, 'Arthur' at that time begged for three days and three nights. Still rejected by Bixia? What a fool. Chen Rui sorted out the large number of memories that came to his mind and shrugged his shoulders.

Rex's brow furrowed, "With your current judgment." It should be understood that that woman's identity is not suitable for you at all, and Princess Lambis is a good match for you. ”

Chen Rui was noncommittal, but said indifferently: "Similarly, with my current judgment, I have figured out more things...... Bixia's decision at that time was not just for the sake of 'Arthur', or rather, Sophiri was the real point! The pathetic woman, and the pathetic ...... Arthur, are nothing more than victims. ”

This tone as calm as an outsider listened to Rex's ears, and he only felt extremely harsh: "You, are you questioning me?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little emotional. After the return of 'Arthur', the Aster Palace has been closed by Bixia's Praetorian Guard. Now that I've shown some value, Bixia has changed her mind and put the chip out...... Albeit. Her name is my dead uncle's woman, although, only for one night. ”

"What am I? What is she?" Chen Rui smiled and looked directly into Rex's somewhat cold eyes: "My bixia, I want to know." In your eyes, is anyone but yourself just a bargaining chip?"

"Nope. Rex's voice also cooled: "Including myself." ”

Chen Rui was slightly surprised and was silent for a while. He said, "Since that's the case, then." I beg your pardon for being rude. Today's topic is no longer suitable for discussion, if you have the opportunity, I hope to have a smoother communication with Bixia. ”

Rex looked deeply at the completely strange son, as if for the first time he had looked so squarely: "You are not the 'Arthur' I know. ”

"I said that from the moment of his disappearance, the prince of the year was already dead. Chen Rui's words were a pun, "In front of you, there is a 'Arthur' who has changed a lot in order to survive." ”

"Indeed, I can no longer measure you by my original impressions, and I don't know whether to be sad or relieved, my prince. Rex sighed, "Now you are qualified to inherit my position, perhaps better than Garfield and Luke." ”

Chen Rui noticed that he used 'prince' instead of 'son', indicating that Rex had raised his position to a real height, which was also the entrance to another "battlefield".

"Bixia, as far as the ruler is concerned, you are still very young, so I don't think that any prince should have too many lofty ideas. Chen Rui looked extremely calm, the reason why Garfield was able to jump like this may not be without Rex himself's push. This emperor's scheming and skill were unfathomable, far surpassing Lei Chan, and the entire empire was firmly controlled by him.

This kind of control is naturally unique, and even the closest people will be regarded as enemies if they want to touch this kind of control.

"Although my appearance will upset the original balance and even destroy more things, however, I can promise one thing for sure, I will not shake Bixia's rule, only make it more solid. ”

Rex raised an eyebrow, "So, what do you want?"

Chen Rui silently recited the words "Holy Light Law Robe" in his heart, but he definitely couldn't bring it up now, and just showed an indifferent smile at the moment: "You will know." Bixia, if you really understand what I want, then it will be the day when 'Arthur' will call 'Father' again. ”

"Father", not "Father"?

Emperor Rex leaned back on his throne, watching the strange and familiar figure fade away, his eyelids drooping, and he didn't know whether he was in deep thought or remembrance.

in the Royal Palace.

Chen Rui wandered for a while, and finally walked in the direction of Ziyuan Palace.

Veronica Heber.

This noble daughter of the Lanyao Empire, in the eyes of the huge Lanyao royal family, is only a down-and-out branch.

This woman who once made "Arthur" unforgettable, was the teacher and sister of "Arthur" who was most infatuated with in Starlight Academy, and finally because of a tragic political marriage, she was forced to marry Sophie, the prince of the Longhuang Empire, who was older than her father.

At the beginning, "Arthur" begged his father Rex outside the dormitory for three days and three nights, but he still couldn't stop the marriage. Since then, Arthur's address to Rex has changed from "Father" to "Bixia".

Just as Chen Rui questioned Rex today, this marriage is actually more of a link in Rex's jihua, targeting Prince Sophiri, who was becoming more powerful at the time and had threatened the emperor.

Less than a year after this marriage, Prince Sophiri and many of his wives and children died mysteriously and violently due to an accident, and then Veronica "exposed" a conspiracy against the royal family as a witness, and the result of this event was a major reshuffle. In the end, Rex the Great completely consolidated his absolute rule, and Veronica was also "converted" from the side room to the "main room" because of her "meritorious", of course, the identity was the widow of the late prince who remained in the palace and could not return to the Blue Yao Empire.

Chen Rui didn't know what the truth about Prince Sophiri's death was, but it was certain that both "Arthur" and Veronica were just small chess pieces in the whole game of chess, poor victims.

Now, Veronica was once again used as a bargaining chip and pushed in front of Chen Rui.

One night?

Chen Rui's face looked a little gloomy, more from the anger of the part of "Arthur".

This kind of anger is just an instinctive emotion that merges consciousness, and it can't dominate Chen Rui's own thoughts, for Chen Rui, at least, to meet this Veronica.

Since he has inherited the consciousness and body of "Arthur", and since he has appeared in public as "Arthur", it is naturally impossible to escape some of the things or responsibilities that "Arthur" must face.

This kind of direct confronting will make the state of mind that merges with the soul truly complete.

It is also a necessary way to move forward.

In front of it is the Aster Palace.

The large number of Praetorian Guards stationed at the gate had already received orders from Emperor Rex, and they did not stop them, and saluted in unison.

Chen Rui entered the hall of Ziyuan Palace all the way unimpeded, the area of Ziyuan Palace is very small, there are few people, and there are only two maids in the entire hall, Chen Rui is told that Veronica is in the garden.

Chen Rui came to the small garden behind the hall, the area of the garden was directly proportional to the simplicity of the facilities of the palace in front of him, but it was the only place in the entire Ziyuan Palace that could be called exquisite.

There was only one person in the garden.

Even if there are tens of millions of people, he will only see that figure in his eyes, the figure that "Arthur" dreams of in his heart.

This is a feeling engraved in consciousness, and even integrated into the emotions of "Chen Rui", the mood that was originally deliberately calmed down suddenly throbbed uncontrollably, and the beating of the heart accelerated rapidly, and he stood in place for a while.

The people who can only be seen in countless soul dreams finally really appear in front of them.

The woman slowly turned her head and saw him.

The golden-brown hair was scattered casually on the shoulders, the tight white background and blue-edged robe set off the mature and graceful figure, and the face was covered by a veil, only the blue eyes looked deep and beautiful.

The moment she saw Chen Rui, the woman's body suddenly trembled, and at the same time, Chen Rui felt that her vision began to blur rapidly.

Slowly blurred, then clear by minute.

At the same time, there are clear blue eyes as beautiful as the ocean, flashing with crystal tears.

"Little Arthur...... Is it really you?" the familiar voice was a little hoarse with excitement and more with incredible surprise.

Chen Rui blinked vigorously, took a deep breath, and stepped forward step by step.

"Teacher. Almost without thinking about the salutation, naturally, "I'm back." ”

As soon as the words fell, she was already tightly held in her arms, not perceiving the touch of plump temptation, but completely melting into that kind of kind and warm tolerance.

At this moment, he is not only Chen Rui, but also Arthur, the real Arthur. (To be continued......)

PS: Last night's praise list was still eleventh, and I looked at the ninth in the morning, and I didn't say it, but I changed it two times today.
