Su Guo patted the uncle on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Butler, you're still the best to me. Let's go to another world. As for this dirty, bloody, and spied-on world, let it be destroyed."

The middle-aged man didn't even blink, remaining gentle, "Okay."

Su Guo's goal was never the position of empress. Even if she did for a period of time back then, it was when she was very young. After she secretly read the information about the forbidden areas of the Su royal family, what interested her most was not the throne, but the outside world.

However, these two things are interconnected. If she wants to do something, she must become empress, since a princess has limited resources at her disposal.

However, with Lu Yuanhong's arrival, things that she could have planned slowly became somewhat urgent.

The citizens of the entire empire were once from another world. They did not pioneer the interstellar age at all, but rather a world that shattered and merged with this interstellar age.

Ebony is right. They are not natives; they are invaders. But Ebony's tribe is too gentle. A race without bloodthirst and ferocity is destined to be stripped and crushed in the face of survival.

Spanning the long river of time, the entire royal family, including those who knew the truth, perished. Coupled with generations of migration and integration, and the whitewashing of a peaceful era, no one knew that strange history anymore, after all, the entire Ebony clan had disappeared.

She had always treated that story as a tale of the supernatural, until she actually met Ebony, at which point a different kind of flame suddenly rose in her heart and began to grow stronger.

Su Guo looked at her body, young and energetic, with high supernatural talent—another world, a world seeking immortality…

She can definitely do it, instead of making the same mistake as last time.

...

Looking at his uncle, who had been increasingly busy lately, Wei Guang couldn't help but frown. Was his uncle and Miss Lan really related by blood?

No matter how you look at them, they don't look alike at all.

Forget it, he can't figure these things out anyway. Gu Chen wants to play "Excellent" with him, so he'd better go find Gu Chen instead.

We were halfway there.

Then he saw Chu Xinglin standing in front of him with a bitter look on his face. Wei Guang felt a little helpless. Chu Xinglin wasn't like this before. He used to be aloof and wouldn't even bother with an explanation. Now he was like this every day, as if Wei Guang had wronged him.

He had no secrets he couldn't share, and he wasn't guilty at all; he was completely open and honest.

"What do you need to do?"

"Sophia wants to see you. Come into the palace with me, and many things will become clear."

“If Sophia wants to find me, she will find me herself. There’s no need for you to pass on the message.”

Chu Xinglin clenched his fist. He hadn't expected that Wei Guang hadn't been involved, but Wei Guang's uncle had.

"It's related to your uncle and His Majesty."

Wei Guang glanced at Chu Xinglin, who was still being mysterious, but the other party looked somewhat weathered lately. He was too lazy to argue with him, so he greeted Gu Chen and turned around. Seeing that Chu Xinglin didn't move, he sighed.

"Come on, what are you standing there for?"

Within the royal family.

Wei Guang looked at the scene before him in disbelief. In his memory, the Empress was still the one who met them in Xinglinhai. Even if she wasn't the most beautiful, she was definitely a great beauty who took good care of herself.

Now it's withered and decayed like a tree branch; what's going on?

"This is……?"

Sophia sat to the side, revealing a composure unusual for her age. "This was poisoned by Lu Yulan, as evidenced by her return to see my mother."
