Chapter 12

The gloomy twilight shrouded the silver imperial capital, and the road stretched in the air like black satin.I sat in the military train and watched the scenery fly by on both sides.

The train slowed down occasionally, and I could see the street below clearly, and there was no pedestrian.Only the soldiers with live ammunition are heavily guarded.

Kenya is right, Mu Xian has already controlled the imperial capital.There may have been a lot of blood in places I couldn't see.

During the day, he bloodbathed the imperial capital, changing the color of the entire situation in Stan; just now, he was uncontrollably... violently released on me; but at this moment, he is sitting next to me in military uniform, focusing on checking the military situation, issuing orders, and lighting up. His profile is handsome and quiet.

The thought of spending my whole life with a man like that felt so unreal to me.

But after crying, I completely regained my composure.Since the escape failed, it would be futile to be unwilling.What can be done now is to face the reality, adapt and accept this "husband".

Until the next chance to escape - if there is one.

Half an hour later, the train stopped.Mu Xian stood up, and Mo Lin immediately handed him the white gloves and military cap.He glanced lightly, didn't answer, but looked down at me.

Maureen grinned and winked at me, and I had to stand up.

The hands in front of her were fair and slender, with well-defined joints, and the palms were light pink, making them look very well-proportioned and beautiful.But when I put white gloves on for him, those hands immediately became cold and serious.

I put the hat on his head again, only to realize that his head is actually quite big, at least much bigger than mine.

"Miss, here." Mo Lin pointed, and there were a few strands of black hair curled up under the brim of the hat.It was near the back of the head, so I had to tiptoe to touch it.Unexpectedly, as soon as the body touched him, the waist was hugged.He bowed his head and kissed me.

His lips were ravaged by him again, and he let go after a while.I was breathless from the kiss, but his breath was very steady, but there was a slight smile in his dark eyes.

"puff--"

I didn't need to look back, I knew it was Maureen who was laughing, or deliberately making that kind of laughter that seemed to be suppressed but could not be suppressed.I feel a little embarrassed - although I know that this is something that couples should do, it's no big deal.But there is still a sense of anxiety that the situation is out of control.

Surrounded by soldiers, we walked out of the station, crossed a square, and came to the gate of the palace.I once imagined what the imperial palace would look like, it must be brilliant, beautiful and full of technology.But when I saw the building in front of me, I realized I was only half right.

Behind the tall metal gate, there are rolling buildings.They turned out to be built with huge white stones.No metal, no reinforced concrete, just clean, raw stone.

In the dark night, amidst the bright lights, the snow-white and graceful palace, like a plump and elegant beauty, lies in front of us in all kinds of styles.I think it must be the sculpting of countless skilled craftsmen to build such a fairytale building.

"This is a building from the ancient times." Mo Lin standing behind me explained.

I can't help but admire the Stan Starman.Their technology is so advanced, but the emperor lives in primitive buildings.It can be seen that they respect spiritual civilization very much.

At this time, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came over from the door with a smile on his face: "Your Highness Nuoer, Your Majesty has been waiting for you and Miss Hua for a long time."

Mu Xian nodded and strode in.The man looked anxious: "Wait, Your Highness, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you soldiers to enter the palace..."

He didn't finish his sentence, because Mu Xian had signaled two soldiers to come forward and drag him aside.

I was taken aback—it was really domineering.What does he want to do?
Walking through the quiet boulevard, the palace guards encountered along the way were subdued and thrown into the corner.Wherever he went, it was as clean as the wind and the remnant clouds.

After a while, a soldier reported that the vanguard had taken control of the entire palace.Mu Xian's expression remained calm, as if everything was in his plan.

But I was in doubt, couldn't help pulling Mo Lin, and asked in a low voice: "What does he want to do? Is he going to force the palace?"

Mo Lin looked at me in bewilderment, then turned around and grabbed Mo Pu, and repeated unchanged: "What does he want to do? Is he going to force the palace?" I couldn't laugh or cry, I dare say he hadn't thought about this question at all.

Mo Pu replied impatiently: "What are you guessing? Although the emperor summoned him, the situation in the imperial capital is unknown now. In order to prevent the counterattack of His Highness Kenya's troops, of course we must control the palace."

Maureen nodded, but I frowned—is it really just to prevent problems before they happen?
Finally, we stopped in front of a brightly lit building deep in the palace.It is surrounded by a deep blue lake, the shadows of the trees beside the lake are dancing, the reflections of the buildings are slightly rippling in the waves, and the scenery is quiet and deep.

Around the building, there are at least hundreds of guards armed with guns.

This time, Mu Xian did not order them to be subdued, but let all the soldiers stay where they were, even Mopp Molin stood at the bottom of the steps, only holding my hand, and walked towards the gate of the palace.

I am a little nervous and looking forward to seeing the emperor.

There were two guards standing at the door, one of them was holding a huge... hound?
The man said solemnly: "I'm sorry, Your Highness Nuoer, this is a procedure."

Mu Xian nodded, let go of my hand, took off the gun and dagger at his waist, and walked to the door frame.A light blue light scanned down from above his head, and then the soldier approached with the hound on a leash.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the hound's nose touched his military boots, it whimpered and shrank into the corner in panic.

A faint smile appeared on Mu Xian's face, and the other soldier seemed embarrassed: "It's afraid of Your Highness. I thought it would improve after so many times... Okay, Your Highness, you can go in."

My heart froze—what kind of half-beast is Mu Xian?Such a strong hound was afraid to see him like this.But thinking of the huge beast back then, it was indeed terrifying.

Mu Xian stood inside the door and waited for me. I walked under the door frame to be scanned. At this time, the soldiers approached with dogs.I saw Mu Xian's expression was very calm, a little strange - how could he bear other males approaching me.Suddenly a flash of inspiration-this must be a female dog!

The dog sniffed the shoe, then went up to the calf.I'm a little itchy, but bear it.Unexpectedly, it suddenly gave a low bark, turned around and rushed to the corner, and huddled desperately, as if it was as scared as before.

I found it very strange that the two soldiers also stared wide-eyed as if confused.Mu Xian stretched out his hand to me very calmly, as if he had expected this to happen.

I walked up to him quickly and couldn't help but ask, "Why is that dog afraid of me?"

He glanced sideways at me: "You have my smell on you." After a pause, he said, "It smells very strong."

"Oh." I didn't pay much attention, and took a few steps forward, and suddenly understood what he meant. It was extremely embarrassing—I just changed a skirt and came to the palace with him, without even taking a shower.After he said this, I just felt that those places became sticky again, and I felt uncomfortable.

It's just... why did he emphasize that the smell is "very strong"?He has a cleanliness fetish. Could it be that he thinks I'm dirty?Too much, why doesn't he hate himself?

I was a little upset and followed him into a door.

The field of vision suddenly opened up. This is a hall with quiet lights and gorgeous decorations.Several servants stood silently in the hall with their hands down. There was a big golden bed in the front, and one person was lying on it.

I followed him step by step, and my heart beat faster - after all, this was the first time I saw a living "emperor".But is he lying on the bed because he is not in good health?No wonder the sons fight to the death.

The attendants by the bed retreated, the lights were dim, but I could still see clearly that it was a haggard middle-aged man in a delicate white robe.His short hair is dark brown, like Kenya's.The eyes are black, but look very tired.His face is very thin, but the handsome outline of his youth can be seen faintly.

His gaze swept across us slowly, paused on me, and then returned to Mu Xian.

"Noel, spare your brother and those ministers." Contrary to his sick face, his voice was calm and powerful.

Mu Xian was silent for a while before answering: "Others can be released, but Kenya can't."

The father and son were so straight to the point, and I was also tensed by the anxious atmosphere between them.

The emperor stared at Mu Xian quietly: "Is it because he attacked you first? But he has already been seriously injured, isn't this punishment enough?"

Mu Xian didn't say a word, his eyes were fixed on the ground.After a while, he looked up at the front with an extremely cold expression.

"Not because of this."

The emperor was startled, then looked at me and asked, "He touched your woman?"

Mu Xian was silent with a very gloomy expression.

I was stunned.

The emperor was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at me and said, "Miss Hua, can you forgive Nuoer's brother?"

I thought to myself that this emperor is really powerful, and he knew how to pick me.

I thought about it and replied: "He did not cause irreparable harm to me, and I am willing to forgive him."

The emperor smiled, and Mu Xian glanced at me.

"But..." I looked at the emperor and continued, "I hope there can be a guarantee that he won't bother Mu Xian and me."

If that's all, what if he kidnaps me next time?
They both looked at me in surprise.The emperor had a thoughtful expression, but a faint smile flashed in Mu Xian's eyes.

My heart skipped a beat, thinking badly, he must have thought I was defending him again!But I can't tell the emperor, let Kenya stop bothering me alone, right?That's why I picked him up when I said it!
But there was no way to explain it, and the three of us fell silent.

Finally, the emperor sighed and said, "Noel, I imprisoned Kenya on an asteroid three thousand light-years away from Stan, and was not allowed to return to the imperial capital for life. Do you agree with this?"

As the emperor, he spoke to his son in such a tone.I think it's probably because the entire imperial capital and palace are controlled by his son!

Mu Xian finally nodded: "Okay."

The emperor showed a wry smile: "Tell me, what do you want? You have already won the match against Kenya, and my body is no longer fit to manage this country. As long as you ask, I can give you anything."

My heart was shocked - he meant to pass the throne to Mu Xian?

If Mu Xian became the emperor, wouldn't I become a queen?This... is too weird.I didn't feel happy at all, I just felt incredible, I never thought about such a thing.

But Mu Xian has done so many things just for the throne.Now he finally got his wish.

I felt a little sigh of relief in my heart.

However, I didn't expect that this time, Mu Xian was silent for a long time.

There was neither joy nor excitement on his face, and his eyes were fixed on the front, but seemed to be looking far away.He seemed a little absent-minded and a little indifferent.I've never seen such a confused look on his face.

Finally, he spoke.

"I want the Badlands."

The emperor and I were stunned at the same time.

Badlands, I have an image in my mind.It was an asteroid belt fifty light-years away from Stein.It is the location of one of Stan's most important space fortresses, and it is also a very barren area, mainly inhabited by orcs.Mu Xian didn't even want the throne, where did he want it?
"Why?" The emperor stared at him, "You can stay in the imperial capital."

Mu Xian glanced at him with a sarcastic expression: "Just like my mother, I don't like the imperial capital."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "In the imperial capital, you can do more for the country."

Mu Xian replied indifferently: "You have other sons, you don't need me to inherit."

I was taken aback for a moment—by the way, Kenya is the second prince, Mu Xian is the third, and they have an elder brother.

According to Mo Lin, he is a very kind and kind person. He is also a top student at Imperial University and is now assisting the emperor in handling political affairs.It's just that compared to the two younger brothers who hold military power, this eldest brother is much more low-key.

My mind moved - Mu Xian gave up the throne, Kenya was imprisoned again, the only remaining heir is that elder brother?

But the emperor's expression suddenly became very strange, as if he was very surprised, but he was a little clear.

He stared at Mu Xian and asked, "Could it be that you are doing all these things to help your elder brother remove obstacles and ascend to the throne?"

Mu Xian remained silent.

I was shocked--wouldn't it be?
Is that so?He never wanted the throne in the first place?
He turned out to be such a selfless person?

Mu Xian (serious face): "You have my smell on you. Very strong smell."

Hua Yao thought depressingly: He has a cleanliness addiction, could it be that he thinks I'm dirty?Too much, why doesn't he hate himself?

Mu Xian thought silently: Great, she smells of me all over her body, a very strong smell.It's all mine, all mine...
