Chapter 136: The Battle for the Throne



Zhu Jin listened to the woman leave angrily, heard the sound of the door closing opposite, looked at the starry sky above his head, thought unconsciously, and after staying for a while, he finally got up and went back to the house.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Zhu Jin finally fell asleep. Just as he closed his eyes, the alarm clock rang.

Zhu Jin woke up in a daze and saw an unread message on his phone. It was sent by Chonglou at five in the morning. When he clicked it, Chonglou's big face popped up.

A face that hasn't slept at five in the morning looks really ugly, and its handsomeness is greatly reduced. Its hair is messy, its complexion is a little dull, and its nose and forehead are a little oily. Only its eyes are full of energy.

"Zhu Jin, I've thought about it. We must now overcome the problems between us. We must not escape or ignore them, but we can't rush and solve them rudely..." Chonglou scratched his hair, clapped his hands and laughed, "I can't bear to see you embarrassed, and you can't bear to see me wronged, so we have to think carefully about how to achieve a balance between us."

"Well... that's it. I'll think about it carefully in the next two days." Chonglou pondered for a moment and then smiled, "I always feel that tonight is a bit dreamy, but it also feels so real... Okay, you can ignore my nonsense. After all... Zhu Jin, you have begun to fall into my infinite charm... I dare not say that you can't extricate yourself, but if I am a mud puddle, at least your feet are stuck in the mud puddle now..."

Chonglou beamed with joy, "Okay, now I have to continue practicing my stickiness in the mud pond. Wait for me, beauty..." Chonglou hung up the video with a wicked wink. He felt very good about himself for two minutes, then he looked down and suddenly realized that he was wearing pajamas.

...Pajamas and the like really affect the domineering and evil charm, Chonglou has the urge to take them off and take a new photo...

Zhu Jin was awakened from her daze by Chonglou's mud pond, and she couldn't stop smiling, "This is the first time I've seen someone compare herself to a mud pond... and a beauty..."

Zhu Jin brushed his teeth while looking at himself in the mirror. He tilted his head and thought for a while, "…it should be more than just his feet. At least his calves and below are all in the mud…"

Nitang's high-spirited plan for the stickiness training was shelved after he arrived at the hospital after a sleepless night. Before he could open the gifts, he was called by the director and carefully assigned to the regional sanatorium hospital for a medical consultation. He left in a hurry and didn't even have time to see Zhu Jin.

When Zhu Jin arrived at the hospital, Chonglou had already left.

Zhu Jin spent a very peaceful day, but the Internet was in an uproar and full of curses.

The incident started when the princess of Licheng Planet, who had always had some grudges with the neighboring Blue Water Planet, was interviewed at their celebration event. She praised herself as a planet of etiquette and also implied that Blue Water Planet had completely lost all etiquette.

Since the release of the history of Blue Water Planet, there have been many people from various planets who have been jealous, openly or covertly, and the people of Blue Water Planet feel very happy. However, they definitely don't like such insults that are obviously caused by envy, jealousy and hatred!

This is not the first time that the Licheng planet has been complaining. The people of the Blue Water Star have long disliked them. This time, they have stirred up a hornet's nest and the Blue Water Star people are furious! In the past, they were not confident enough because they had lost their heritage and history. Now that history has been recovered, ancient characters have been published, poems are being perfected, and Zhu Jin's lost embroidery is there, they are very confident. Usually, they always quote a few lines of poetry and write a few ancient characters when dealing with aliens.

When they were showing off their culture and civilization, something so blind suddenly appeared, and the result was that everyone attacked them. In the morning, the princess of Licheng planet was interviewed, and in the afternoon, the whole planet was in a state of panic. All business dealings between the two neighboring planets had problems at almost the same time. In just a blink of an eye, the people of Licheng found that their lives were in chaos.

The ruling government of Licheng Planet received numerous protest statements and accusations that day. In just one day, Licheng Planet felt a sense of crisis that war was about to break out. The activities of the princess of Licheng Planet that started in the afternoon were all stopped, and she became a princess like Helian Zhen.

Princess Licheng of the planet was originally very familiar with doing these things and had won countless praises. She was ready to be a hero once again, but she made a small mistake and angered the people of the Blue Water Star, which led to a massive rebellion among the people of the Blue Water Star.

The government, diplomacy, media, etc. of the Blue Water Star all responded quickly, and the royal family also responded. However, no one mentioned Helian Zhen, who was also a princess and should have represented the Blue Water Star.

On the contrary, Lian Qiao, a museum staff member, happened to be interviewed on a channel program that was promoting the Blue Water Planet about aliens. As a member of the royal family, she made a strong counterattack against this incident and won back face for the Blue Water Planet.

Lian Qiao was instantly recognized by the people of the Blue Water Star.

At night, in the main hall of the palace, Queen Helian Lan and Su Mu were summoned by the clan elders to hold a meeting.

“…less than two years after the last request, the royal family has received another request from the cabinet. With such frequent requests, Your Majesty, we have no choice but to speak up and say a few words.” The oldest, most respected elder of the Lian Chang clan, who supported Helian Lan to take the throne more than 20 years ago, spoke up.

"Your Majesty, if the image of the real princess cannot be restored, we elders will hold a special meeting again to discuss the issue of the princess giving up her throne. The princess of Blue Water Star cannot always hide behind others and must be prepared at any time to deal with situations like today."

"There is also the issue of the princess' husband. The princess must stay away from frequent love affairs. Shang Lu's character has an indelible stain and he is not suitable to be the future prince. Please convey this to Her Majesty the Queen." An elder on the side added.

"Yes, if it weren't for Lian Qiao's reaction today, our Blue Water Star royal family would have become the laughing stock of all the royal families on the other planets." Another fat elder who had never supported Helian Zhen becoming a princess echoed.

Helian Lan was silent. Su Mu frowned. He had countless things to say in his heart, but in the end he didn't speak.

In front of these elders, he was just an appendage of Helian Lan.

"I know you can't accept this fact, but this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. There is nothing we can do about it." Seeing Helian Lan remain silent, the elder of the Lianchang clan sighed and explained, "The cabinet has been somewhat dissatisfied with the royal family since Lian Nan's incident. Now that the real princess is in trouble, they have even more opinions. If our royal family continues to be unable to assume the responsibilities that should be assumed, they will no longer help to protect the royal family. The royal family exists in name only, and I think you don't want to see it."

"The real princess is still in the growth stage. It would be too much of a stretch to change her all of a sudden. Moreover, changing princesses so frequently will definitely not have a good impact. People will only have less and less respect for the royal family and the princess." Helian Lan pondered for a moment and finally spoke, "I think this matter must be handled with caution."

"We came here today because we need to be cautious." Elder Lian Chang and several elders looked at each other. "The princess's change of throne will take about a year if all preparations are made. We will not hold a meeting right away. So, Your Majesty, we hope that the real princess can restore her image and resume her princess duties within half a year. If she cannot do so, we will officially start the princess's abdication procedure."

Half a year? Helian Lan smiled bitterly, but could only nod, "...Okay." She couldn't refute any of their words, because what they said was true, and it was too difficult for Zhenzhen to be a princess now.

"It's good that your Majesty is sensible. There's nothing we can do about it. Fortunately, we have other royal family members with pure bloodlines, and they are growing up well." Helian Lan nodded, and all the elders breathed a sigh of relief. An elder who had been silent all the time stroked his beard and finally spoke with confidence, "Lian Qiao performed very well today, and her career is not bad either. And Lian Huier, isn't she a famous reporter..."

As he was talking, he shut up. He suddenly thought that her current appearance was no different from Helian Zhen. In the next two years, she would have no chance of becoming a princess.

"Lian Qiao is an okay child. She may need support to be a queen, but she is good enough to be a princess." The elder Lian Chang nodded and replied. After that, he shook his head and said with some regret, "After looking around, Lian Nan is still the best to be a princess, but she..."

It is too difficult for Lian Nan to be a princess again.

"I think if no one else is suitable, it would be better to let Lian Nan become a princess again." The white-browed elder who had been frowning next to Helian Lan suddenly spoke up, "She did something wrong and has been punished by the law. It's not impossible to wait until her sentence is over and all her rights are restored."

"...Her identity is too sensitive, and we are afraid that a similar situation will happen again...Besides, hasn't she lost her memory? She can't even speak the interstellar common language or alien language. Is she still suitable to be a princess?" In the end, the fat white elder who mentioned Lian Qiao refuted and freed everyone from those weird thoughts.

“…Why is it inappropriate? Why must our princess learn an alien language instead of others learning our Chinese? She is the representative of our Blue Water Planet, so it is enough for her to speak Chinese!” The White Eyebrow Clan elder rolled his eyelids, “I have wanted to say this for a long time!”

Everyone present: “…” The familiar feeling, that weird feeling that what he said made sense came back.

"As for troubles, trust her. She will handle it. You have all seen her situation during this period. No matter how bad the situation is, she can turn it around." The white-browed elder continued, and the more he spoke, the more he felt it made sense. "When she was a princess, everyone praised her. When she stopped being a princess and became a doctor, she was also a most special doctor..."

"She is the first person who refused to treat patients but still worked as a doctor..." The White Eyebrow elder said with emotion, "Would such a person be afraid of trouble? Perhaps the more trouble there is, the more it shows her ability, right?"

Everyone present: “…” That really makes a lot of sense!

However, the fat white elder still struggled to object, "It's still risky. No matter what, we still have to use the interstellar common language. Besides, why not just find Lian Qiao and the others? The risk is much smaller than Lian Nan. Besides, Lian Nan... she changed her name. She's not Lian or Zhu anymore!"

Everyone present: “…” There’s really no way to refute this.

"Anyway, I think Lian Nan is suitable..." the white-browed elder muttered, ignoring the glare from the fat white elder.

Helian Lan and Su Mu were unable to describe their feelings as they listened to their discussion; they just listened with wooden expressions.
