Chapter 65 Death (Please recommend)
The moment his voice fell, the expected divine punishment did not fall. Xu Tianran's tense body and spirit suddenly relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He knew he had won the gamble.

Du Ya did not make any statement in response to his answer. He just nodded slightly and said calmly: "In that case, Your Highness, you can leave now."

"You should have something important to do now."

Xu Tianran understood the profound meaning of this sentence and knew what he should do at this moment.

He didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt about this.

The temptation of becoming a god and the opportunity to make the empire great again are right before their eyes; the sacrifice of some things is nothing more than a little hardship.

I think someone will understand him.

His eyes glanced at Jing Hongchen and the others. Their expressions remained unchanged, as if they didn't realize the deeper meaning of it at all.

The plan of mechanical ascension is not only tempting to Xu Tianran, but also to them.

As a soul engineer, if I could personally participate in the experiment of creating an artificial mecha, even if the final result was death, I would die with a smile on my face.

At this time, they have become Xu Tianran's most staunch supporters!

Watching them leave the lab, Du Ya turned around and looked at Chun who was laughing, and said, "Is it funny?"

"Isn't it funny?" Chun asked, tilting his head.

"It's really funny."

Although he said this, there was no smile on his face. Instead, he spoke seriously.

"Human nature is greed, which is also the driving force for them to move forward. Greed leads to their progress, but greed is followed by endless disasters. History has proved this."

"You may not understand it, or you may understand it, but this is the fact. It is true not only for humans, but for most of the life on this earth."

Chun's smile was disappearing. He stared at Du Ya, who was becoming more and more absorbed in the subject, expressionlessly. The next moment he turned around and left.

Leave this cold laboratory to Duya alone.

……

The midday sun was particularly dazzling and hot. The frail girl's face turned red with heat. She hid in the corner and lifted her collar to release some heat, but the effect was minimal.

Angrily, she stretched out her hand towards the sun, as if she wanted to catch it in her hand, but unfortunately the girl's hand was too tender and slender, and some light still slipped through her fingers.

Orange, who had just finished class and made an appointment with her friends to go shopping, said angrily: "Why is the weather in Mingdu getting hotter every year!"

"If we keep drying them like this, the oranges will turn into dried oranges!"

Facing her angry remarks, several friends, although they were also feeling hot, joked: "You are so afraid of the heat, why don't you find a boyfriend with an ice-attributed martial soul?"

Someone nearby joined in after hearing this and said, "Yeah, yeah! Orange, you're not young anymore. You're eighteen this year, right? It's time to find a boyfriend."

"You...you guys!"

After being teased several times, Orange's already red face became even redder. She screamed a few times in shame and anger and then grabbed those girls.

They all laughed and dodged, and the two sides chased each other and played and fought in the street, attracting a lot of people's attention.

Just then, the radio on the street suddenly sounded.

"Beep-beep-"

Orange frowned slightly, and did not continue to move. Instead, he looked towards the location of the broadcast and listened attentively.

After a moment of silence, a voice came over the radio.

"Dear citizens of Mingdu, I am here to report a sad news. Our respected emperor passed away in the palace last night. According to his will, the new emperor will take the throne in three days." At this point, there was no sound on the broadcast, but exclamations were heard from all over Mingdu.

"What? His Majesty has passed away!"

"How is that possible? What are those imperial doctors for? Didn't they say that His Majesty still has at least ten more years to live?!"

"The situation on the continent is so serious now. If His Majesty suddenly passes away, will other forces suddenly launch an attack? Will the barbarians in the west suddenly start a war?"

All the discussions reached Orange's ears, and her mind was buzzing at this moment. She never expected that the old emperor would pass away so suddenly.

But then she suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened.

The new emperor will take the throne in three days? How could it be so soon!

You have to know that this is not a time of war. Even if the situation is serious, the replacement of the emperor cannot be so quick. According to the procedure, the designated heir to the throne will organize at least eighty-one days of mourning, during which time the officials of the court will take charge of the affairs.

An auspicious day will be chosen for the coronation ceremony after the old emperor is buried.

The broadcast said that the new emperor would come to power in three days, but in just three days, they couldn't even set up the venue for the coronation ceremony, so how could the new emperor come to power? !

There is a problem! There is definitely something wrong with the old emperor's death!

After realizing this, Orange's hair stood on end, his heart beat violently, and he gathered all his strength to run towards the Prince's Mansion.

Her friends called out to her but she didn't respond.

When she arrived at the Prince's Mansion to ask to see Xu Tianran, she was told that he had received the news at midnight and went to the palace and had not returned yet.

Hearing this, Orange's heart skipped a beat, and several pieces of information filtered through his mind.

The old emperor passed away last night, and Xu Tianran also went to the palace at midnight yesterday...

No way!
Orange's pupils shrank as he thought of that possibility.

But this shouldn't happen. He shouldn't be that kind of impatient person!
An ominous premonition arose in her heart, and she felt that some things were beginning to exceed her expectations.

Gritting her teeth, she decided to wait in the Prince's Mansion for Xu Tianran to come back, and then find out what happened.

At this time in the palace, there were many people who had the same idea as Orange.

Many officials and ministers who had rushed into the palace upon receiving the news felt their scalps tingling when they saw the huge coffin in the hall, the old man lying peacefully in it covered with white cloth, and Xu Tianran crying in front of the coffin.

According to their calculations, although the old emperor had always been in poor health, he should not have died so soon. There was obviously something wrong.

Generally speaking, based on the calculation that whoever dies will benefit the most, all the suspicions fall on Xu Tianran.

He is the crown prince, the designated successor to this empire, and the object of worship by millions of people. He is the biggest beneficiary.

In addition, in the recent bloody incident in the palace, any discerning person could tell who did it, so it would obviously not matter if the other party did the same thing again now.

As if he had noticed their arrival, Xu Tianran turned around and wiped away his tears, revealing a pair of red eyes.

He said sadly, "You are finally here. My father passed away suddenly last night. I was the first one to receive the news and the first one to receive his will."

He took out the old emperor's last will and testament, and the eunuch next to him carefully took it over and handed it to the ministers to read.

The will was passed back and forth among the ministers, and everyone stared with wide eyes and read it carefully, fearing that they would miss any word.

After a long time, they looked at each other and saw the complicated emotions in their colleagues' eyes.

The hall was silent except for Xu Tianran's sobbing. Thousands of thoughts flashed through their minds. Finally, many officials knelt down and shouted, "We greet your majesty! Long live your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty!"

In front of the coffin, Xu Tianran stopped crying at some point and stood there with a normal expression, facing the kneeling ministers.
