> the star of Alabama, the imperial capital of the Eternal Empire, in the north of the imperial capital, sitting north and facing south, sits a grand, magnificent, and luxurious huge palace. 1 (1) This is the pride and symbol of the Empire, the Imperial Palace.

The palace is a classicist style building, the façade is a standard classicist three-stage treatment, that is, the inside is divided into vertical and horizontal sections, the building is symmetrical, the shape outline is neat, solemn and majestic, can be called the representative of rational beauty.

In front of the main palace is a large French-style garden with unique trees, flowers and plants, which make people feel beautiful after looking at it. The surrounding gardens of the complex are also well-known for the entire galaxy, which is completely artificially carved, with great attention to symmetry and geometry.

If the exterior of the Imperial Palace gives a sense of grandeur, then its interior furnishings and decorations are even more artistic, and luxury and opulence are its characteristics. More than 500 large halls and small halls are full of gold and luxury. The interior walls are decorated with carvings, huge oil paintings and tapestries, and the staircase railings cast in gold are very splendid with various colored marbles.

The palace is full of precious works of art from all over the world from the last era, which were rare treasures in the last era, and are now all priceless.

This is the imperial palace of the Empire, magnificent, but unrepeatable.

Angelina and Emily walked on the crimson Persian carpet accompanied by the three kings of the Eastern Kingdom, the Southern Growth King, and the Western Wide-eyed King, or escorted. For their mother and daughter, this is their former home, but now, it is like hell on earth.

Behind the Three Heavenly Kings were two neat rows of royal monks, all of whom wore yellow monk's robes covered with light armor, tied the calves of the leggings tightly, and the bracers inlaid with steel thorns added a bit of strength to them.

Now that the guards inside the palace have been taken over by the royal monks, the Imperial soldiers who once wore a crisp military uniform in dark blue and the color of the sea, and a metal battle medal on their right chest, were confined to the perimeter of the palace.

The only religion in the empire was Buddhism, and Taylor the Great was a devout disciple of Buddhism, and even worshiped Buddhism. Called the Buddha master as a teacher, and was named the [Bodhisattva of Light]. Buddhist disciples are like nobles in the empire, and even the ministers of the empire must be in awe.

In a new era, the rest of the religions have perished. Only Buddhism flourished.

Emily was born here, but she has no memory. Feeling oppressed by such a solemn place, Angelina took her hand and walked into the Apollo Room, which was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

The Apollo Room, also known as the Helios Room, was the throne room of the Emperor. The furnishings are extravagant and beautiful, with carved gold bas-reliefs on the ceiling and dark red filigree trimmed velvet on the walls. In the center is a throne cast of pure gold, three meters high, on a high platform. Since the emperor claims to be the king of the solar galaxy, he usually summons his subordinates to deal with government affairs in this Apollo Hall.

On the ceiling are twenty-four huge bohemian crystal chandeliers, as well as oil paintings extolling the merits of the Emperor. The crystal chandelier sheds a petal-like light that illuminates the entire Apollo Room, but beneath the throne lies a shadow that makes it impossible to see the Emperor Taylor sitting there, even if you look directly. (1_1) The opposite. Taylor the Great could see everything in the hall.

Emily trembled and didn't dare to raise her head, she was completely shocked by the aura of the palace. Although Angelina was also scared before, but after arriving in this palace. Instead, he calmed down. Left and right are just death, and being able to die in your own home, in the hands of your own brother, is also a good ending in life.

So Angelina walked into the Apollo Room with her head held high, and she looked at the familiar throne and saw the blurred outline. She remembered that in the past, although she could not see clearly, she could imagine her brother's appearance and expression, but now she had no impression at all, only that the throne was like a fog. Or maybe it's a stone sculpture. ...,

Angelina also noticed that on the right side of the throne, there was also a sterling silver throne about two meters high on the high platform, and the people on the silver throne could see it clearly.

This man was very young, probably no more than twenty-six or seventeen years old. is very handsome, but there is a lewd color between his eyebrows and eyes, and his whole temperament is quite frivolous. To say that he is a playboy is definitely accurate.

But he is a bald head, wearing a brocade robe with gold thread embroidered edges, and wearing a crown of five Buddhas, which symbolizes the five wisdoms of the Buddha, and there are five Buddhas in the center to represent the virtue of the perfection of the five wisdoms. It's just that it's inlaid with pearl gemstones and emeralds, and it's made of pure gold, which looks more luxurious than the crown of Taylor the Great.

He holds a string of jade Buddha beads in his hand, this string of jade Buddha beads has a delicate texture, full color, and a crystal luster, transparent and clear, which is the top grade in jadeite. This string of Buddhist beads is called Guose Tianxiang, Angelina remembers very clearly, it is a treasure of the former royal family, Angelina asked Taylor the Great, Taylor the Great was not willing to give it, but now it was given to this young monk.

The three heavenly kings went up to the temple, first bowed to Emperor Taylor, and then bowed to the young monk in the same way: "Hold the country, grow, and wide-sighted to arrest the rebellious Angelina and Emily in accordance with the Buddha's decree, and now that they have been brought, they will return the decree to the Buddha." ”

The young monk known as the Buddha Venerable frowned and asked, "What about smell?"

"Report to the Buddha, I have heard that there are mundane things stranded in the town of Xingu Xingnuggets, and I am asked to confess to the Buddha. The three heavenly kings respectfully reported to the young Buddha, and did not dare to transgress a little.

The young Buddha snorted coldly, as if he was unhappy, but he didn't ask anything more. just glanced at Angelina and Emily coldly, but at this glance, her eyes lit up, and she ordered: "That little girl, also raise your head!"

Among the three heavenly kings, the white robe and white armor, the white skin, and the eastern king of the country holding the country with the pipa in his arms were the leader, the king of the country held the country's thick eyebrows upside down, the phoenix eyes were wide open, and he shouted loudly: "Emily! Maitreya Buddha ordered you to raise your head, and you are not quick to obey your fate?"

His voice shook the eardrums like thunder, and Emily was already scared enough, and when she was yelled at by the king of the kingdom, she burst into tears with a "wow". Angelina hurriedly hugged Emily in her arms, and angrily shouted to the Taylor the Great in the shadows: "Brother Huang, Emily is your daughter! Even if we are rebellious, we can't change the blood relationship after all, how can you let outsiders bully your daughter?"

Angelina was really disappointed, even desperate.

Fleeing from the empire for so many years. It's not that she hasn't regretted it, it's not that she hasn't thought that her brother was just confused for a while, and then she regretted it and hoped that they would go back.

Angelina has also fantasized many times in dreams and even in reality that she will be happy to return to the empire with Emily. How heartwarming should the scene of father and daughter recognizing each other and brother and sister getting back together......

But she never thought that after eleven years of separation, the moment when brothers and sisters, father and daughter saw each other again after a long absence, would be like this!

As the elder brother and father, Taylor the Great sat there like a clay stone carving, without saying a word or moving. Let outsiders bully their daughter. But there is no indication that this is really the Taylor the Great who had great ambitions and longed to dominate the entire galaxy?

The young Buddha is also the [Maitreya] of Xiaoleiyin Temple, the three Buddhas have the past Buddha, the present Buddha and the future Buddha, the present Buddha is Shakyamuni Buddha, and the future Buddha is Maitreya Buddha. Since there is Maitreya and there is naturally Shakyamuni, it is obvious that the Buddha master actually respects himself as Shakyamuni Buddha.

Hearing Angelina say this, Maitreya's handsome face showed disdain and banter, and she pouted, "Your Majesty." What should I do if the rebellious Angelina insults the Buddha Gate?"...,

The Emperor Taylor, who had been silent, seemed to have just woken up from his slumber at this time, and slowly spoke: "I have sent a decree to the world. The Buddha is my father, and I am the son of the Buddha. Whoever dares to insult my father can only wash away the humiliation of my father with blood. ”

The voice of Taylor the Great came from the high throne, as if extremely distant, deep and hoarse, indifferent and without a trace of emotion.

Maitreya laughed loudly, his voice sharp and unbridled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and a vampire-like gentleman's hideous against the bright red lips.

Angelina's heart sank to the bottom. She didn't expect her brother, the brother she used to grow up with, to become so ruthless. The relationship between the royal family is indeed less indifferent than that of ordinary people, but after all, they are compatriots, even if Emperor Taylor is unwilling to recognize her sister and Emily as a daughter, he will not have a little hesitation and pity when talking about their life and death.

Could it really be that after becoming the first person in the world, he gradually became a loner?

Angelina's eyes blurred. Her mind was flooded with memories of the past. She was Chinese New Year's Eve a year old, and her brother, Taylor the Great, was a full fifteen years older than her.

So since she had a memory, her brother has loved and tolerated her, although there are many children of the old emperor, but only the two of them are brothers and sisters with the same father and mother.

Since Angelina was sensible, the old emperor and his wife have both passed away, and Taylor has taken over as emperor. In the following years, several other princes of the old emperor died one after another, either because of a fire, or because of a serious illness, or because of a car accident, in short, in the end, only Taylor and Angelina were left in the royal family.

But Angelina didn't think about what this had to do with her brother before, because her brother took such care of her. Angelina often remembers that her brother would play with her and tell her about the court.

When Angelina was very young, I can't remember how old she was, when Taylor came back from the court, he happily picked up Angelina, who was still playing with rag dolls, and put it on her lap, and said:

"The monk was very useful, because he spread the doctrine that people can die, but the soul, which he called alayya, is eternal and can be reborn in the next life. As long as one sincerely believes in the Buddha and endures all the sufferings in this life, his soul will be able to enter the world of bliss after death.

His teachings make people become honest, obedient, and will not resist, and put their hopes in the so-called Elysium that no one has ever seen in the illusory afterlife. The monk also said that I, the emperor, was the Bodhisattva chosen by the Buddha and was mandated by Heaven to govern all living beings. I asked him to establish Buddhism in the imperial capital to spread the teachings, and it was only a few years before I saw great results. I decided to let the monk spread Buddhism to every inch of the empire, and the empire was impregnable......"

Angelina remembered that when she was sixteen or seventeen years old, Taylor didn't pay much attention to her, and was extremely distant from the queen and princesses. Even Taylor wanted to become a monk many times, but was persuaded by the ministers to come back.

Angelina remembers that once Taylor simply stayed in the Little Lei Yin Monastery and begged the Buddha to shave him, but the Buddha refused to get up until he was shaved him. That incident was very troublesome, and in the end, Taylor was not able to become a monk, and paid 30 million imperial gold tickets to Xiaoleiyin Temple as a ransom to ransom Taylor.

And now, Taylor the Great has recognized Buddha as his father, and completely disowns her as a sister and Emily as a daughter. This change made Angelina feel terrible, her hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't say a word.

"Come on, put this traitor Angelina and Emily into the [Heavenly Prison] and take care of them separately!" Maitreya laughed and ordered with a wave of his sleeves.

Angelina's heart trembled, Emily didn't know what a prison was, but Angelina couldn't know better. The prison is death row, and since the establishment of the empire, no one who has entered the prison has been able to get out alive.

She raised her sad eyes and gave her brother one last look. At this time, she still had the last glimmer of hope for her brother, who she hoped would remember their brother-sister relationship, and remember that they had the same blood flowing in their bodies.

But she despaired......

The royal monks swarmed up and forcibly dragged Angelina and Emily away and escorted them down.

"Don't touch me!" Angelina withdrew her gaze and hugged Emily, who was already frightened, but after despair, her heart calmed down, she gathered her sideburns and walked calmly out of the hall. From beginning to end, Taylor the Great did not say a word, and Angelina did not look back at this brother again.

The crimson Persian carpet is like a road through the underworld where blood gathers, witnessing the death of the relationship between brother and sister. (To be continued......)
