The operations of the old ministry were very efficient.During the month when Yuan Hanshuang was in coma, he not only completed the surgery on Hai Dongqing, but also found Executive Officer Zhu Jiuyin to completely remove the remaining control skills left on Hai Dongqing's body.
Now Haidong Qingren is lying in the cryocontainer, just because the degree of brain damage is too high, and Yuan Hanshuang and the Zerg Queen fought in his brain, it is inevitable that he will be affected, and he still needs to wait for follow-up treatment.But no matter what, at least all the hidden stakes left on the body have been removed and the person has been recovered.
"If the Lord still stays in the Zerg tribe as an inspector, if another war breaks out in the near future and appears on the battlefield, if he takes action against the imperial soldiers, even if the truth behind his control can be explained clearly, the anger of the people will not be so easy to calm down." Feng Bai obviously has a longer-term vision and uses a plain tone to say something that makes people's hearts linger with fear.
"Yes. She is both the Black Tower and the Queen of the Zerg. I never thought that Lao Hai was so popular before."
Feng Yuanming was a little helpless: "There is no trace of what happened back then. I don't know the real purpose of this group of people. We still need to wait until his brain condition recovers before we can draw a conclusion."
Yuan Hanshuang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that his father's problem was not serious and that the next step was to find a cure.She was afraid that if she fought with the Zerg Queen, she would really beat her father into a fool, and that would be the end of it.
"By the way, about the silver apple."
Fortunately, the brainworm in the father's head of the Zerg Queen was dead. It seemed that the matter of Kun swallowing the silver apple could no longer be hidden, so Yuan Hanshuang decided to confess on his own initiative.
Of course, she still didn't say that she could control the Zerg. She only said that she could now understand the Zerg's speech and that her mental power could cause some damage to the Zerg.He also shared some of his guesses.
"What?! Ate a silver apple?!"
Feng Bai performed a pupil earthquake on the spot, and it took him a long time to recover: "Isn't that thing an energy aggregate, something similar to a crystal nucleus? Can it be eaten?"
Although the Third Legion was originally ordered to go to the Imperial Military Academy to guard the silver apples stored there, in fact, neither the Feng family nor his son knew much about the function of this thing.
They only know that silver apples are products excavated from the ruins of ancient civilizations.According to the slate unearthed from the miracle, there is only one golden apple and three silver apples in the entire galaxy, but no one knows the specific uses of these apples. The only thing that can possibly record their use is the prophecy slate.
What a coincidence. Of the three prophecy tablets, one is with the Zerg, one is with the imperial royal family, and there is no news about the other one.Obviously, the prophecy tablet obtained by the imperial family has nothing to do with these apples, otherwise the silver apples would not have been kept on the shelf for many years.
"However, I don't know if silver apples can be eaten, but golden apples can indeed be eaten."
Feng Yuanming frowned: "The golden apple is the empire's famous divine artifact. It was once the property of the founding emperor of the empire thousands of years ago. It has been stored in the Temple of Light for many years."
Feng Yuanming obviously knew more about golden apples.
"Energy aggregates like golden apples and silver apples must be stored in specific locations and cannot be moved at will, otherwise energy will leak out. Therefore, the sacred objects given by God have always been there and have hardly been moved."
If the entire history of the Golden Apple was written, it could even be compiled into a book, because it is so long ago.This apple witnessed the great changes in the establishment of the empire thousands of years ago, the rise of the Temple of Light theocracy, then its decline, and finally its decline.
For many years, this thing has been stored inside the Temple of Light. When every member of the royal family reaches adulthood, they will undergo an adult baptism ceremony in the Temple of Light. Taking golden apples can enhance the ability of divine protection.This is also the fundamental reason why the empire sent so many legions to pursue Hai Dongqing after he stole the divine relic.
Yuan Hanshuang was silent for a moment: "But there is only one golden apple, and every member of the royal family takes it. After so many years, haven't you finished it yet?"
"I don't know about this. Things about golden apples are all royal secrets." Feng Yuanming frowned and thought for a long time: "But I seem to have heard from the Imperial Academy of Sciences decades ago that silver apples have the ability to proliferate. If golden apples It makes sense if Apple has the same capabilities."
"That's it." Yuan Hanshuang fell into deep thought.
After a while, she slowly raised her head: "I suspect that the lost prophecy tablet is in the Black Tower."
She remembered that the bug she installed on her father successfully picked up the Black Emperor's soliloquy.The owner of the Black Tower spent great efforts to collect silver apples from all over the interstellar world, so it was obviously impossible for him to be unaware of its functions.
"Maybe the last remaining half of the silver apple is also in the Black Tower."
The Black Emperor's soliloquy also mentioned that he was only short of the last silver apple.Yuan Hanshuang suspected that this silver apple was the one she ate wholeheartedly at the ancient civilization ruins near the 1999 planet.
Yuan Hanshuang has always taken silver apples as a tonic.In her opinion, it was amazing enough that Silver Apples could advance ordinary mimics, but she didn't expect that they actually had secrets.
Is it possible that if you gather them all, you can summon the dragon?Or become a Super Saiyan?
“These can all be put aside.”
Feng Bai interrupted her thinking and stared at her quietly: "The most important thing is, young master, have you felt any physical discomfort after eating randomly?"
"Although I've slept for a month, I'm still full, right?" Yuan Hanshuang deliberately made a serious face.
The two looked at each other, and in the end she couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with me. It's just... Oh, I seem to have broken through the seventh level."
Feng Bai:? ? ?
Yuan Hanshuang is actually not very satisfied with this result.
Now she only needs to eat crystal cores and lie down and sleep every day to improve her cultivation level.For her, the main focus of Silver Apple is to enhance its hardware strength.However, unlike the huge momentum caused by swallowing silver apples in the previous two times, this time Kun and Xuanniao looked the same as before, without any earth-shaking changes.
Calculating it this way, this half silver apple actually only provides the function of a power bank, which feels like a loss.
Feng Bai said tactfully: "Actually, I think your breakthrough speed is already in the category of earth-shaking."
He is still only at level [-]. You can't be so greedy! ! !
It is said that Myth Mimicry upgrades quickly. During the Academy Ranking Competition, the cultivation speed of the Chairman of the Imperial Military Academy and the Chairman of the Federation Military Academy dominated the Star Network rankings for several days. The people of Star Network expressed their full envy and jealousy towards Myth Mimicry.As a result, compared with Yuan Hanshuang, she now pales into insignificance.
Yuan Hanshuang thought, "You don't know, I have swallowed two before. Who would have thought that the radiant and beautiful Kunkun was just a koi fish with a round head and a round brain in the beginning."
Information about silver apples and golden apples must be recorded in the imperial archives.However, the old ministry did not have enough authority.Because key information is missing, the matter about the silver apple can only be put aside for now.As for the last person who saw the Golden Apple, Hai Dongqing, where did this thing go? Ultimately, Hai Dongqing needs to answer.
Yuan Hanshuang was in coma for a month and finally woke up. Not only did she have to do rehabilitation training, but she also had a lot of accumulated matters in her old department that needed to be decided.After finishing some of the key clues she obtained in Dark Star, she still needed to discuss them with the Feng family and his son separately, so she was too busy to do anything.
During this period, Yuan Hanshuang specifically asked about the situation of the Temple of Light.
Loujia and Jialu not only have the same face, but their height and body shape are exactly the same.She had doubted the possibility of twins or twins being related.
But this doubt was shattered after she accidentally caught a glimpse of the Black Emperor's face.Yuan Hanshuang knew that there must be a huge conspiracy.But before she could figure it out, the matter had to be bottled up.
Unfortunately, the information covered by the old department did not include content about the Temple of Light.
Just like Garuda said.If you want to know more, you must ask Loujia in person.
"Alas." Yuan Hanshuang was thinking about various details in her mind while doing difficult reconstruction movements.
Although she gave up her handsome declaration of rescuing Princess Gaota when she was in the Temple of Light, Yuan Hanshuang knew that given the current situation, regardless of her situation or the strength of her old army, rescuing Lou Jia was just nonsense.
She can't protect herself now. She must first clear herself of suspicion and remove her status as an SS-level wanted criminal.And this alone is of no use. Even if she takes off her wanted status, it will only allow her to come out to the public face alone.Now that Xuanyuan Tong has shown hostility towards her, this empress with a vengeful style will definitely not let go of Lou Jia, who has severely humiliated the empire in public, and allow him to easily regain his status as the Holy Son.
Since Lou Jia was punished because of her, Yuan Hanshuang certainly hoped that he would be upright and return in glory.
In addition, there is the follow-up of Dad’s treatment.For those with red gold medical cabins or those with high-level healing talents, the only two ways to break through are the imperial royal family and the Temple of Light.Neither of these are areas that can be solved in a short time.
What's more, there is also Garuda.
Yuan Hanshuang was hanging upside down on the horizontal bar, her tied blond hair flowing like a waterfall, and her pupils were filled with complexity.
Garuda not only gave her permission to open the interior of the Black Tower, but also gave her precious videos to clear her suspicions.Once these things that are tantamount to betrayal are known to the Black Emperor, the consequences will be disastrous.
In the past two days, Yuan Hanshuang tried to find the informants placed by the old department in Dark Star to inquire about the situation in Jialou, but in the end, he received the news that Dark Star had entered a period of rectification.
The Second Legion checked several times inside and out, but found no trace of Yuan Hanshuang in Dark Star. Before leaving, they issued a sky-high fine to Black Tower for lax supervision and indirectly sheltering a wanted criminal.
The most outrageous thing is that Heita handed it over directly without saying anything.
After the Second Legion left, Dark Star entered a state of rectification, during which entry and exit were prohibited.
The Black Tower has always done a good job in keeping intelligence confidential. By using controlled mimicry and a combination of grace and power, it was easy to keep the news secret. Otherwise, it would not have been exposed after many years of Zerg human experiments.
Because of this, the informant was unable to find out any recent news about the Black Tower.
Yuan Hanshuang wanted to use the optical brain to communicate, and then suddenly remembered that she and Jialou had never been friends at all.
"Bang -" After jumping off the horizontal bar, she lay down on the soft mat, looking exhausted.
Although they have escaped from the dangerous dark star, there are only a lot more things ahead of them.Either the key clues are missing, the hardware configuration is missing, or there is nothing you can do, which is very frustrating.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk." At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Young Master, the communication has been connected."
Hearing this, Yuan Hanshuang immediately got up from the cushion.
The old department had already helped submit the evidence she brought from the Black Tower in advance.Yesterday, she packaged the video that Garuda gave her and gave it to the empire's neutral faction spokesperson.Unexpectedly, I received a reply today, and it turned out that the brain of the empire was here in person.
In the reception room, the holographic light screen has been unfolded.
The omnic executive stood opposite the light screen, neatly dressed in military uniform, with white gloves folded on his chest. Although he was over the middle of the year, his posture was still serious and elegant, like a rigid and noble oil painting.Yuan Hanshuang saw him as soon as he came in and couldn't help but curse.
This person is simply the plus version of Zhuge Ci. His appearance is almost exactly the same, and even his reserved and noble temperament is exactly the same.It's just that Zhuge Ci still has the clear stupidity unique to a young man, but Zhuge Bei is already the scheming brains of the empire.
"His Royal Highness Yuan Hanshuang."
After seeing her, Zhuge Bei performed an unmistakable military salute with a solemn expression.
"Hello, Your Excellency Omnic, I have long admired your name." Seeing this, Yuan Hanshuang also put on a formulaic smile.
"The neutralists have received the evidence you submitted."
Obviously, Imperial Brain's time is very precious, and Zhuge Bei has no intention of wasting time to continue speaking in official terms: "It is enough to clear some of the empire's senior officials' suspicions about you in the first stage of the academy ranking competition. But about your father Haidong Qing , even if it can be proven that he is now under control, it will not be able to clear away his sin of defecting back then. These alone are far from enough."
"As for the human experiment, it can be made public, but I can't guarantee that the Queen will definitely approve the dispatch of troops."
Although Black Tower's use of Zerg for human experiments was serious, it was not serious enough for the Empire to send troops to destroy Dark Star.Because the empire officials have privately conducted similar experiments using death row inmates in the central prison in recent years.What's more, after the war, the national treasury is in deficit. As long as the Black Tower pays enough protection fees to the empire, the senior officials dare to turn a blind eye.
Submitting this evidence will probably result in a sky-high fine.
Hearing this, Yuan Hanshuang felt heavy in his heart.
Although she expected this outcome, she was still frightened by the decay of the empire.
"If Your Highness has no other questions, the neutral faction will transfer this part of the evidence to the Imperial Oversight Council as soon as possible. The Overwatch Council will then provide a written report to the entire galaxy and cancel the arrest warrant against you."
"Wait a minute, I have a favor."
"Please speak."
Regarding her father, Yuan Hanshuang had already guessed it, and now she doesn't feel depressed at all.
She is concerned with another matter.
"If possible, I would like to apply for a closed hearing of this case."
The omnic executive raised his eyebrows: "If you choose not to have a public trial, although the Oversight Yuan will help with the evidence, the effect will be much worse than a public trial. I hope Your Highness will consider it carefully."
The empire made public arrests, and the Queen's faction worked hard to increase public opinion. Although Yuan Hanshuang gathered a good wave of popularity in the college ranking competition, it was almost exhausted because of her father-daughter relationship with Hai Dongqing.After finally getting the evidence to clear his suspicions, he should make more noise, the better, so as to restore his reputation.
"Yes." Yuan Hanshuang nodded: "I have thought about it. I chose to keep one piece of evidence in the hands of the neutral faction and not submit it to the Supervisory Yuan. The other piece of evidence will not be heard in public, and only the wanted order needs to be revoked."
"Forgive me for asking Your Highness, why?" The omnic executive's lenses flashed.
His gaze seemed to be penetrating, making it easy for people to have the illusion of being seen through.
Yuan Hanshuang: "Because...if you want to prove that the Black Tower colluded with the Zerg, you can't avoid dad."
Black Tower did a particularly good job of keeping the matter of colluding with the Zerg a secret.They only launched insect energy potions to paralyze the Dark Star residents in terms of public opinion.Yuan Hanshuang stayed in Dark Star for a month and tried every means. In the end, the only thing that could prove that the Black Tower colluded with the Zerg was the video during the mission with his father.
Her purpose was to clear her father's suspicion, and she was asking for trouble by showing this kind of video that actually hit her.
The most important thing is that if all these evidences are made public, the fate of Garuda who remains in the Black Tower will be in danger.
Regardless, Garuda helped her.Call her kind or hypocritical.It was impossible for Yuan Hanshuang to stab him in the back as soon as he escaped, then watch him being angered by the Black Emperor and watch him die.
"If this evidence is not enough for the empire to send troops to Dark Star, then it is meaningless. Let's wait for a while until I find enough evidence to clear dad's suspicion, and then we will announce it together."
Yuan Hanshuang shook his head: "As for whether the suspicion on me will affect my reputation, I don't care. I just need the empire to revoke my wanted criminal status. After all, hiding is not the answer."
After listening to her coherent narrative, Zhuge Bei's eyes flashed with appreciation.
Yuan Hanshuang is similar in age to his son.Most young people are impatient and unwilling to suffer even the slightest grievance. Instead, they ignore the overall situation.It is rare to be able to calm down and make judgments and choose to stand still.
Seeing his indifferent expression, Yuan Hanshuang couldn't help but ask.
"Although it cannot be made public, with your wisdom, you should know that the Black Tower has indeed colluded with the Zerg. If such a serious thing happens, as the leader of the neutral faction, can't you find a way?"
The neutral faction was composed of the old emperor's former subordinates and a group of people who were still watching after the new emperor succeeded to the throne. They accounted for one-third and were obviously very powerful.They united and insisted on sending troops, and Xuanyuan Tong could not disagree.
"No, Your Highness has misunderstood." Zhuge Bei said calmly: "The neutral faction has no leader, and everyone is a scattered individual. The real ruler of the empire is Her Majesty the Queen. I am just a talker and have no right to make any decisions. .”
Yuan Hanshuang couldn't help but sigh.
This is also consistent with what Feng Bai said.
In order to maintain balance, the Empire has adopted the tradition of neutrality for hundreds of years.
Neutrality will not recognize the master unless the person in power has sufficient strength.For example, the previous old emperor, not only possessing royal mythology and mimicry, was talented and strategic, and worked hard to govern. When he was crown prince, he showed the qualities that an emperor should have and successfully gained the allegiance of neutral factions.Therefore, after ascending the throne, he immediately centralized power and ruled the world.
And Xuanyuan Tong of this generation.Compared with the old emperor, the hardware strength is inferior, the foundation is slightly insufficient, and the style of conduct has also made many high-ranking officials in the empire criticized, so the neutral faction became independent again and returned to the state of being ownerless.
In fact, in the history of the empire, the number of emperors who truly made the neutral faction recognize their leader can only be counted in two slaps.In most cases, the neutral faction exists as a balance point to prevent the empire from falling into a situation where one dominates the empire.
"Is there really no other way?" Yuan Hanshuang refused to give up.
"Not at all."
Zhuge Beiyi pointed out: "If there is a leader who happens to be supported by the neutral faction, maybe it will be different."
For some reason, looking at the smile on the face of the Imperial Brain across the light screen, Yuan Hanshuang had the illusion that "he had been laying the groundwork for so long just to elicit this sentence."
However, without waiting for Yuan Hanshuang to ask, he continued: "Hai Dongqing's defection was full of doubts, and there were many inconsistencies. The answers to some questions may have to wait until the person involved wakes up before the answer to the mystery can be revealed. Perhaps the evidence that His Highness is looking for can be easily solved after the person involved regains consciousness."
Zhuge Bei pushed up his glasses: "I have heard a little bit about the current situation of the old department. It is true that only members of the royal family can use the red gold medical cabin, but for certain royal members, their relatives also have the right to use it."
"what?"
"Below one person, above ten thousand people."
"You mean?" Yuan Hanshuang showed a suspicious look: "Crown Prince?"
The imperial crown prince is equivalent to the second most powerful person in the empire. He is only under the emperor and of course has privileges.However, the empire's selection of the crown prince is very unique. It does not involve inheritance by the eldest son, nor does it engage in seizure of the heir apparent. Instead, it uses another fairer and more democratic method to select and compete.
Only then did the Imperial Brain finally take off his mask and reveal his true intentions.
Several streams of silvery-white signals flashed across the Omnic Executive's lenses. His face was still expressionless, but when Yuan Hanshuang saw the face that looked similar to Zhuge Ci's, he instantly became extraordinarily cunning.
"Have you heard of the Crown Prince Contest?"

Now Haidong Qingren is lying in the cryocontainer, just because the degree of brain damage is too high, and Yuan Hanshuang and the Zerg Queen fought in his brain, it is inevitable that he will be affected, and he still needs to wait for follow-up treatment.But no matter what, at least all the hidden stakes left on the body have been removed and the person has been recovered.

Even if she takes off her wanted status, it will only allow her to come out to the public face alone.Now that Xuanyuan Tong has shown hostility towards her, this empress with a vengeful style will definitely not let go of Lou Jia, who has severely humiliated the empire in public, and allow him to easily regain his status as the Holy Son.
Since Lou Jia was punished because of her, Yuan Hanshuang certainly hoped that he would be upright and return in glory.
In addition, there is the follow-up of Dad’s treatment.For those with red gold medical cabins or those with high-level healing talents, the only two ways to break through are the imperial royal family and the Temple of Light.Neither of these are areas that can be solved in a short time.
What's more, there is also Garuda.
Yuan Hanshuang was hanging upside down on the horizontal bar, her tied blond hair flowing like a waterfall, and her pupils were filled with complexity.
Garuda not only gave her permission to open the interior of the Black Tower, but also gave her precious videos to clear her suspicions.Once these things that are tantamount to betrayal are known to the Black Emperor, the consequences will be disastrous.
In the past two days, Yuan Hanshuang tried to find the informants placed by the old department in Dark Star to inquire about the situation in Jialou, but in the end, he received the news that Dark Star had entered a period of rectification.
The Second Legion checked several times inside and out, but found no trace of Yuan Hanshuang in Dark Star. Before leaving, they issued a sky-high fine to Black Tower for lax supervision and indirectly sheltering a wanted criminal.
The most outrageous thing is that Heita handed it over directly without saying anything.
After the Second Legion left, Dark Star entered a state of rectification, during which entry and exit were prohibited.
The Black Tower has always done a good job in keeping intelligence confidential. By using controlled mimicry and a combination of grace and power, it was easy to keep the news secret. Otherwise, it would not have been exposed after many years of Zerg human experiments.
Because of this, the informant was unable to find out any recent news about the Black Tower.
Yuan Hanshuang wanted to use the optical brain to communicate, and then suddenly remembered that she and Jialou had never been friends at all.
"Bang -" After jumping off the horizontal bar, she lay down on the soft mat, looking exhausted.
Although they have escaped from the dangerous dark star, there are only a lot more things ahead of them.Either the key clues are missing, the hardware configuration is missing, or there is nothing you can do, which is very frustrating.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk." At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Young Master, the communication has been connected."
Hearing this, Yuan Hanshuang immediately got up from the cushion.
The old department had already helped submit the evidence she brought from the Black Tower in advance.Yesterday, she packaged the video that Garuda gave her and gave it to the empire's neutral faction spokesperson.Unexpectedly, I received a reply today, and it turned out that the brain of the empire was here in person.
In the reception room, the holographic light screen has been unfolded.
The omnic executive stood opposite the light screen, neatly dressed in military uniform, with white gloves folded on his chest. Although he was over the middle of the year, his posture was still serious and elegant, like a rigid and noble oil painting.Yuan Hanshuang saw him as soon as he came in and couldn't help but curse.
This person is simply the plus version of Zhuge Ci. His appearance is almost exactly the same, and even his reserved and noble temperament is exactly the same.It's just that Zhuge Ci still has the clear stupidity unique to a young man, but Zhuge Bei is already the scheming brains of the empire.
"His Royal Highness Yuan Hanshuang."
After seeing her, Zhuge Bei performed an unmistakable military salute with a solemn expression.
"Hello, Your Excellency Omnic, I have long admired your name." Seeing this, Yuan Hanshuang also put on a formulaic smile.
"The neutralists have received the evidence you submitted."
Obviously, Imperial Brain's time is very precious, and Zhuge Bei has no intention of wasting time to continue speaking in official terms: "It is enough to clear some of the empire's senior officials' suspicions about you in the first stage of the academy ranking competition. But about your father Haidong Qing , even if it can be proven that he is now under control, it will not be able to clear away his sin of defecting back then. These alone are far from enough."
"As for the human experiment, it can be made public, but I can't guarantee that the Queen will definitely approve the dispatch of troops."
Although Black Tower's use of Zerg for human experiments was serious, it was not serious enough for the Empire to send troops to destroy Dark Star.Because the empire officials have privately conducted similar experiments using death row inmates in the central prison in recent years.What's more, after the war, the national treasury is in deficit. As long as the Black Tower pays enough protection fees to the empire, the senior officials dare to turn a blind eye.
Submitting this evidence will probably result in a sky-high fine.
Hearing this, Yuan Hanshuang felt heavy in his heart.
Although she expected this outcome, she was still frightened by the decay of the empire.
"If Your Highness has no other questions, the neutral faction will transfer this part of the evidence to the Imperial Oversight Council as soon as possible. The Overwatch Council will then provide a written report to the entire galaxy and cancel the arrest warrant against you."
"Wait a minute, I have a favor."
"Please speak."
Regarding her father, Yuan Hanshuang had already guessed it, and now she doesn't feel depressed at all.
She is concerned with another matter.
"If possible, I would like to apply for a closed hearing of this case."
The omnic executive raised his eyebrows: "If you choose not to have a public trial, although the Oversight Yuan will help with the evidence, the effect will be much worse than a public trial. I hope Your Highness will consider it carefully."
The empire made public arrests, and the Queen's faction worked hard to increase public opinion. Although Yuan Hanshuang gathered a good wave of popularity in the college ranking competition, it was almost exhausted because of her father-daughter relationship with Hai Dongqing.After finally getting the evidence to clear his suspicions, he should make more noise, the better, so as to restore his reputation.
"Yes." Yuan Hanshuang nodded: "I have thought about it. I chose to keep one piece of evidence in the hands of the neutral faction and not submit it to the Supervisory Yuan. The other piece of evidence will not be heard in public, and only the wanted order needs to be revoked."
"Forgive me for asking Your Highness, why?" The omnic executive's lenses flashed.
His gaze seemed to be penetrating, making it easy for people to have the illusion of being seen through.
Yuan Hanshuang: "Because...if you want to prove that the Black Tower colluded with the Zerg, you can't avoid dad."
Black Tower did a particularly good job of keeping the matter of colluding with the Zerg a secret.They only launched insect energy potions to paralyze the Dark Star residents in terms of public opinion.Yuan Hanshuang stayed in Dark Star for a month and tried every means. In the end, the only thing that could prove that the Black Tower colluded with the Zerg was the video during the mission with his father.
Her purpose was to clear her father's suspicion, and she was asking for trouble by showing this kind of video that actually hit her.
The most important thing is that if all these evidences are made public, the fate of Garuda who remains in the Black Tower will be in danger.
Regardless, Garuda helped her.Call her kind or hypocritical.It was impossible for Yuan Hanshuang to stab him in the back as soon as he escaped, then watch him being angered by the Black Emperor and watch him die.
"If this evidence is not enough for the empire to send troops to Dark Star, then it is meaningless. Let's wait for a while until I find enough evidence to clear dad's suspicion, and then we will announce it together."
Yuan Hanshuang shook his head: "As for whether the suspicion on me will affect my reputation, I don't care. I just need the empire to revoke my wanted criminal status. After all, hiding is not the answer."
After listening to her coherent narrative, Zhuge Bei's eyes flashed with appreciation.
Yuan Hanshuang is similar in age to his son.Most young people are impatient and unwilling to suffer even the slightest grievance. Instead, they ignore the overall situation.It is rare to be able to calm down and make judgments and choose to stand still.
Seeing his indifferent expression, Yuan Hanshuang couldn't help but ask.
"Although it cannot be made public, with your wisdom, you should know that the Black Tower has indeed colluded with the Zerg. If such a serious thing happens, as the leader of the neutral faction, can't you find a way?"
The neutral faction was composed of the old emperor's former subordinates and a group of people who were still watching after the new emperor succeeded to the throne. They accounted for one-third and were obviously very powerful.They united and insisted on sending troops, and Xuanyuan Tong could not disagree.
"No, Your Highness has misunderstood." Zhuge Bei said calmly: "The neutral faction has no leader, and everyone is a scattered individual. The real ruler of the empire is Her Majesty the Queen. I am just a talker and have no right to make any decisions. .”
Yuan Hanshuang couldn't help but sigh.
This is also consistent with what Feng Bai said.
In order to maintain balance, the Empire has adopted the tradition of neutrality for hundreds of years.
Neutrality will not recognize the master unless the person in power has sufficient strength.For example, the previous old emperor, not only possessing royal mythology and mimicry, was talented and strategic, and worked hard to govern. When he was crown prince, he showed the qualities that an emperor should have and successfully gained the allegiance of neutral factions.Therefore, after ascending the throne, he immediately centralized power and ruled the world.
And Xuanyuan Tong of this generation.Compared with the old emperor, the hardware strength is inferior, the foundation is slightly insufficient, and the style of conduct has also made many high-ranking officials in the empire criticized, so the neutral faction became independent again and returned to the state of being ownerless.
In fact, in the history of the empire, the number of emperors who truly made the neutral faction recognize their leader can only be counted in two slaps.In most cases, the neutral faction exists as a balance point to prevent the empire from falling into a situation where one dominates the empire.
"Is there really no other way?" Yuan Hanshuang refused to give up.
"Not at all."
Zhuge Beiyi pointed out: "If there is a leader who happens to be supported by the neutral faction, maybe it will be different."
For some reason, looking at the smile on the face of the Imperial Brain across the light screen, Yuan Hanshuang had the illusion that "he had been laying the groundwork for so long just to elicit this sentence."
However, without waiting for Yuan Hanshuang to ask, he continued: "Hai Dongqing's defection was full of doubts, and there were many inconsistencies. The answers to some questions may have to wait until the person involved wakes up before the answer to the mystery can be revealed. Perhaps the evidence that His Highness is looking for can be easily solved after the person involved regains consciousness."
Zhuge Bei pushed up his glasses: "I have heard a little bit about the current situation of the old department. It is true that only members of the royal family can use the red gold medical cabin, but for certain royal members, their relatives also have the right to use it."
"what?"
"Below one person, above ten thousand people."
"You mean?" Yuan Hanshuang showed a suspicious look: "Crown Prince?"
The imperial crown prince is equivalent to the second most powerful person in the empire. He is only under the emperor and of course has privileges.However, the empire's selection of the crown prince is very unique. It does not involve inheritance by the eldest son, nor does it engage in seizure of the heir apparent. Instead, it uses another fairer and more democratic method to select and compete.
Only then did the Imperial Brain finally take off his mask and reveal his true intentions.
Several streams of silvery-white signals flashed across the Omnic Executive's lenses. His face was still expressionless, but when Yuan Hanshuang saw the face that looked similar to Zhuge Ci's, he instantly became extraordinarily cunning.
"Have you heard of the Crown Prince Contest?"
——End of "Volume [-]·Dark Star"
