For the officials of the empire, especially those who had to face Samuel directly, they both respected and feared Samuel. They respected him because of his methods and vision, and they feared him because of his unpredictable temperament.
For example, at this moment, after listening to the minister's words, the silver-haired man simply propped his chin with one hand, leaned sideways on the back of the wide chair, raised his voice, and uttered a single word lightly: "Oh?"
The minister who spoke was already old and had always been known for speaking his mind. Even when their Majesty was at his madst, only this minister dared to risk his life to give him advice.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to marry. Even if you don't have a queen, you should at least take in some concubines."
As soon as these words came out, the other ministers below lowered their heads. Even though they knew that this minister liked to act so arrogantly on the verge of death, they did not expect that he would dare to bring up this matter again and again.
His Majesty detests the idea of the Queen taking a concubine. In the past, anyone who mentioned it would be demoted at best and lose their life at worst. After so many years, this matter has become a taboo in the court. Everyone sticks to the rules and dares not overstep the line.
Some people who were close to the minister who brought up this topic have already started thinking about how to save their friend, no matter what.
As for those who disliked the minister, their heads hung low with smiles of gloating delight. He had miraculously avoided every misfortune in the past, but this time, he had touched the taboo among taboos. Could he still escape?
For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for His Majesty to get angry, like the last calm before the storm, no one dared to speak at this time.
Strangely, His Majesty did not immediately lose his temper. Instead, he calmly looked at the ministers below, his voice unmistakable: "Do you, my dear ministers, feel the same way?"
To be honest, many ministers felt the same way, but because of His Majesty's madness, they did not dare to mention it.
The people below tried to look at the people around them with subtle movements, and they all saw confusion in each other's eyes.
What does your Majesty mean by this? Why didn't you get angry this time? Is it because you've finally figured out your decision to take a concubine? ...
Question after question filled their minds. If it weren't for His Majesty looking down at them with such majesty, these people would have almost been unable to hold back from discussing.
A long while passed and still no one spoke.
The man sitting high up in the seat narrowed his eyes slightly: "Weren't you very talkative before? Why are you all so silent this time?"
No one could tell what the man in the high position was thinking. They could only look at each other. Finally, a minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is time for you to start a family and build a career."
His Majesty still did not speak. Some people figured out something from the silence and bravely stepped forward and said the same thing as the previous two ministers.
The following words became more and more eloquent, and seeing that His Majesty showed no signs of anger, more and more people spoke up.
Samuel listened for a while before raising his hand to signal everyone to stop. "I know about this matter. In that case, you should start preparing. Remember, I am not going to take a concubine. I will only marry this one person in my life."
Samuel stood up and gave the crowd a deep look. "Don't do anything you shouldn't do. I'll let you know the details later. Before I give you the notice, if I find out someone has done something they shouldn't have done, don't blame me for being ruthless."
His Majesty's tone was not harsh, but no one present dared not to listen to his words.
Not realizing how big a bomb he had dropped, Samuel left after discussing some state affairs.
This time, on the way out of the palace, the ministers kept whispering to each other.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Could it be that Your Majesty has found someone he likes recently?" If he didn't have someone he liked, considering Your Majesty's previous attitude towards this matter, everything that happened today would be too weird.
"Or does Your Majesty want to use this matter as a pretext?"
"No matter what His Majesty's plan is, we just need to do our own thing and don't worry too much about other things."
The official said this not because he had a good attitude, but because he knew very well that if His Majesty really wanted to do something, no matter how much they worried, it would be useless.
Hearing his words, the others nodded silently.
Although Samuel emphasized not to do anything tricky, this incident still made many people have ulterior motives. That was the only position next to the emperor. If someone from their own family sat in that position, wouldn't he be the future emperor... How many people could resist the temptation of enormous power?
His Majesty did not order the matter to be kept secret, and there was quite a stir in the palace. Soon, many people in the upper class of the Imperial Star knew that a new person was going to move into the palace that had been deserted for many years.
Those who were interested started to inquire about it, but after asking around, they only got this piece of information and couldn't find out anything more.
The Duke of Oren's Mansion also received the news soon after.
The moment she heard the news, the Duchess couldn't help but stand up from her chair. It seemed that even God was helping her. She had just planned everything when such a great opportunity came to her.
All these people knew was that the emperor had the intention of taking in a woman, but many more people did not know. Those who heard what His Majesty said that day did not dare to tell more useful information due to His Majesty's final deterrence. Because of this, many people had the illusion that the Duchess was one, but she was far from being the only one.
Anyone who pays close attention will notice that after this news spread, a storm is brewing in the dark corners of the Imperial Star.
Yun Luo also got the news a few days later. He was not very interested in the emperor of the empire, so he just listened to it and didn't pay much attention to it.
He's been a bit busy lately.
On the one hand, he had to find out the truth about the original owner being framed and restore his innocence, and on the other hand, he had to remotely control the development of Lingsheng Building. The development of Lingsheng Building was very rapid, so rapid that it was time to expand its scale.
Vincent reported the development situation over the past period to Yun Luo, and finally said, "Sir, I think it's time to expand the scale of Lingsheng Building."
Saying this proved that Vincent already had a detailed plan, which was indeed the case. As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Luo received the plan from Vincent.
Yun Luo opened it and flipped through the pages. The plan was written in great detail, listing out the pros and cons one by one, and various countermeasures were also carefully considered.
"Sir, I've considered this. Somir is still too restricted. Although the planetary governor is already investing heavily in development, this isn't something that can be resolved overnight. Natural weaknesses are inevitable. Fans keep sending private messages to our official blog, hoping we can expand Lingsheng Tower to other planets. Some are even asking about collaboration."
Vincent sent the compiled list to Yunluo.
Yun Luo opened it and took a look. These people were from other planets. They said that if Yun Luo had no plans to open Lingsheng Tower to other planets, or if there were other areas for cooperation, they all hoped to cooperate with Lingsheng Tower.
Yun Luo picked a few out of them and said, "Go and contact them first. Has anyone from Emperor Star contacted you? Send them a message and tell them that I can meet with them."
Now that people have come to the Emperor Star, Yun Luo naturally cannot give up such a good place. In terms of consumption power, the Emperor Star is definitely higher than other planets. Moreover, Yun Luo's side quest is to be the number one restaurant in the interstellar space, so naturally he cannot hide on the planet of Somir.
Yun Luo originally planned to go out and see if there was a suitable place. If there was, he would buy that place and use it as the base of Lingsheng Building on the Imperial Star. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by the protagonist.
After explaining everything to Vincent, Yun Luo felt that he had to go out for a walk and couldn't stay in the Duke's Mansion all the time.
Yun Luo has been investigating the original owner's affairs for some time. Unexpectedly, in addition to the original owner's affairs, he also found another "surprise". Various clues indicate that there were traces of human intervention in the death of the original owner's mother.
This is very interesting. You know, before the original owner's mother died, the protagonist and his mother had not yet come to the Imperial Star. Back then, Duke Oren and the Duchess were a couple that everyone envied. In such a situation, who would want the original owner's mother to die?
The original owner's mother's death was claimed to be due to a serious illness that could not be cured. Yun Luo could also see from the original owner's memory that the original owner's mother was indeed very ill at that time. In order to treat her, Duke Oren sought medical treatment everywhere, but the final result was not satisfactory.
When the original owner's mother died, Duke Oren's sadness did not seem fake. The more Yun Luo dug deeper, the more confused he felt.
How many secrets has time buried? Does Duke Oren know about the hidden secrets behind the original owner's mother's death?
Yun Luo naturally could not have come to the Imperial Star alone this time. He came here on the spaceship sent by Duke Oren. Another group of people mixed in with the passenger flow and took the civilian spaceship back to the Imperial Star to come to the Imperial Star with Yun Luo.
Some of these people had previously joined Vincent in the manor, and the rest were trained by Yunluo. They were all good at gathering information, and almost all the information Yunluo obtained was obtained by these people.
Vincent sent a message with an address on it. It was from someone who wanted to discuss business with Yunluo, and the location was also decided there. Yunluo looked at the surname of the person who signed the message and was stunned.
Surname "Yun".
Immediately afterwards, Vincent sent another document. Yun Luo opened it, which contained a brief introduction to the Yun family. After reading it, Yun Luo turned off the computer, tidied himself up, and prepared to go out.
To show their importance, the Yun family chose a very secretive private club as the venue. After Yun Luo arrived, the staff who had been waiting outside came forward and took him inside.
"Mr. Yun has arrived, please follow me."
Guided by the staff, Yun Luo walked through the bright corridor and finally stopped in front of an antique courtyard.
Yun Luo looked at the scenery around him and suddenly had the illusion of returning to his original world.
Since coming to this world, Yun Luo has never seen such a scenery. The plants in this world are much larger than those in his original world, but the plants here are not. At first glance, there is not much difference from Yun Luo's original world.
"This is Yun Luo, Mr. Yun, right?"
The sudden voice interrupted Yun Luo's thoughts. Yun Luo turned around and saw a man in a black suit standing behind him.
Yun Luo was stunned for a moment. This person was 80% similar to Yun Ye, but he looked more mature than Yun Ye.
