Chapter 164
The entire hall seemed to have been muted, and the nobles were stunned for a long time before they remembered that in addition to the three upstarts, there was another protagonist at the scene.
When they turned around, they found that Her Royal Highness the Queen was standing there in a daze, holding the big head of Colonel Wen Shi's spirit body in her arms.
——The polar bear seemed to have sensed the confusion of its owner. Its dark eyes and the Queen's dark eyes all looked in the direction of the official.
This uniform blank expression made the nobles think that this spirit was born by Her Majesty the Queen.
The official continued passionately:
"…Your Majesty, Her Majesty actually hid such an important matter from you, and even contacted these three openly. This is simply a manifestation of rebellion!"
The official said with a look of grief and loyalty.
The expression on his face could vie for the best actor in the Star Wars movie - he'd definitely be able to get a good role in a political drama.
But unfortunately, reality is not a political drama, and the nobles on the scene are not those shrewd people in political dramas who can speak in a roundabout way.
When they came to their senses, their first reaction was to burst into even more heated whispers.
"How is this possible?" An elderly nobleman said in a low voice with his eyes wide open, "Viscount Cecil, the captain of the guard, and Colonel Wen Shi? The three of them?"
"Fate really played a huge joke on me." His companion whispered back, but the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably. "I bet the Queen Mother must be regretting letting the Queen live until now - after all, the Queen Mother only wanted to control Your Majesty, not to shake Your Majesty's imperial power."
These old nobles were all smart people and they naturally realized that if these three adopted sons really had a relationship with Her Majesty the Queen, then the situation would be completely different.
——You have to know that even adopted sons of the royal family have the right of inheritance.
that is……
The old nobles turned to look at their old friends with sympathetic eyes, and as expected, they saw the despair on their faces.
——If these three children are really the adopted sons of Her Majesty the Queen, this will undoubtedly tie the entire family to the chariot of the Queen Mother.
However, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Who knows, if you take a risk, you may be able to succeed?
But this kind of thing has nothing to do with them.
...They just want to be rich people quietly, but don't want to get involved in something that could cost them their lives.
The old nobles thought that they were going to wait and see how His Majesty the Emperor would respond.
And their wives and husbands were not idle either.
In another corner, several ladies and husbands dressed in gorgeous clothes gathered together and began to discuss His Majesty's expression in a low voice.
"A love rival becomes an adopted son. There is probably no more exciting reversal than this." A lady in luxurious clothes said with a little excitement.
In fact, there was some even more explosive garbage in her mind - something about adoptive father and adopted son, adopted son becoming lover, something forced, and why was it forced?
——It would be impossible for Her Majesty the Queen to become such a puppet without any force, right?
But she didn't dare say it out loud.
Besides, it's too ridiculous, I can only think about it in my mind.
What the other people said was much healthier than her thoughts.
"I want to laugh when I think about how His Majesty was comparing his appearance with the younger generation just now - does he really not know how old he is? He doesn't look as young as Her Majesty the Queen, and can only rely on various jewels to be more dazzling than the others in a physical sense." Another husband who was dressed exquisitely laughed.
The nobles were whispering to each other; this royal gossip had given them plenty to eat tonight.
While they were eating melons, the scene gradually began to become chaotic. There were conflicts among the nobles who wanted to step forward to inquire about the news and were intercepted, and there were conflicts between the royalists and the queen mother's faction.
There's even a shooting ball for those who want to snap a few photos.
——If the chip of the camera ball had not been destroyed the moment the guard saw him, this camera ball and the owner behind it would definitely have to bear the wrath of His Majesty.
Even if it's fake.
After all, no one would doubt what His Majesty would do to divert attention from the royal scandal.
However, the nobles could understand that His Majesty was not very angry about Her Royal Highness the Queen's situation, and even looked a little confused.
——After all, even though they had just said so much, they were still a little confused in their hearts.
Who would have thought that the three adopted sons announced by Her Majesty the Queen earlier really existed, and were even the hottest new talents in the entire imperial capital!
Just as the nobles were sighing, Gu Jing, who seemed to have finally come to his senses and was standing next to the emperor, stepped forward and said with a frown:
"Sir, your words are not very credible. After all, everyone knows that the Queen's three adopted sons were given to her by her husband. Isn't it a bit too much for you to associate yourself with the heirs of several noble families?"
Gu Jin said this in a serious tone, and immediately everyone present shifted their attention to him. Even some nobles looked at him with admiration.
'This person seems to be more in control of the situation than their Majesty, who is still standing there in a daze.' The nobles who had already realized this and kept their doubts to themselves, not wanting to be the first to stand out, thought.
The remaining nobles suddenly realized.
Indeed, these three are all the darlings of their families. How could they not have undergone genetic testing? It is absolutely too much to say that they are adopted children without any basis.
——After all, they are the most promising heirs among the three noble families!
He is even the only heir!
God knows just how destitute those noble families were before these three returned home. If someone tried to snatch their children away from them, those three nobles would definitely be the first to get angry.
Thinking of this, the nobles turned their attention to the three noble families, and indeed found that after they came to their senses, they were ready to fight.
Their idea was very simple. No matter whether what the official said was true or false, the important thing to do was to take this opportunity to beat him up.
But unfortunately, what happened faster than them was the official's words.
He stiffened his neck, widened his eyes, and said as if he was humiliated:
"Your Excellency, I never lied!"
"Then how do you explain their bloodline issue?" Gu Jin said with his arms crossed over his chest, but he tapped his arm twice with his index finger.
The official understood immediately and said:
"There is indeed no problem with the bloodlines of those three. They are the bloodlines of the families they currently belong to, but..."
"They have no blood relationship with the Queen's ex-husband!"
The official raised his head and spoke openly.
As he spoke, everyone's attention shifted to Her Majesty the Queen, with a look of seeking confirmation in their eyes.
Her Royal Highness the Queen was silent for a while, her face pale, but for some reason not looking as pitiful as before.
——Nodded.
Beside him, the three people who had just been in a daze suddenly had some changes in their emotions, and these changes also spread to their spiritual bodies.
The polar bear wouldn't let himself be hugged, the snow wolf stopped whining, and the snow leopard even stopped meowing. They went straight back to their owners.
Then they made the same expression as their master.
——It was a look that seemed to be filled with hatred, but also with some emotion.
The party ended decently that day.
After all, those three did not cause any trouble at the banquet, and they even talked to others at the banquet in a polite and decent manner.
Other people at the party would not expose it. At most, a few people who were jealous of them would ask why the three brothers had no contact before.
"…We were too young to remember when we separated."
As they spoke, their expressions were either calm or impatient. Of course, the captain of the guards just had a decent smile on his face without moving.
Instead, those who asked this question were looked at with accusatory eyes by those around them.
After all, although the expressions on those three people's faces seemed normal, their spirits all looked depressed.
The snow leopard stopped wagging its tail and began to sob through its nose.
The snow wolf just lay on the ground, looking like an abandoned puppy. It didn't breathe but its eyes became wet.
A ball as big as a polar bear sat on the base next to the pillar and sighed in a humane manner.
Weak, pitiful, helpless, but huge.jpg
As for the noble families to which these three belonged, the visitors this time were heartbroken to see their family treasures in such grief.
They wanted to go up and comfort them, but they didn't know what to say. They also didn't understand what the three of them were thinking about Ye Wangxing now.
Just watch them carefully.
Her Majesty the Queen, the source of everything, stood there at this time, looking at the three of them with a complicated expression. She looked even more vulnerable, but for some reason she didn't tremble as if she was about to faint like before.
On the contrary, he stood there with a firm body movement, and although his face was as pale as a doll that was about to break, he inexplicably revealed a sense of life.
In the end, it was the maid beside him who helped him upstairs first.
Perhaps the only person in a good mood at the scene was Gu Jin.
Gu Jin's expression throughout the banquet was somewhat awkward when he saw Ou Che, but before Ou Che arrived, his expression was always natural, even...
——Somewhat happy.
Gu Jin also didn't expect that while he was worrying about how to maximize the benefits of what he had investigated in the past half month, he ended up getting sleepy and got a pillow.
Gu Jin shook the wine glass in his hand, his expression calm, but he was extremely happy inside.
——This is in stark contrast to his mood half a month ago.
Half a month ago, he received news that the people he sent out to investigate Ye Wangxing's three adopted sons were attacked. He immediately realized that there was definitely something wrong with the person who reported the three adopted sons.
As expected, nine years ago, the three adopted sons and their kindergarten teacher had been scattered in the operation to capture the rebels and could not be found at all.
The four people now are just put together to get the job done.
Gu Jin almost twisted off the head of the person who was responsible for this matter on the spot.
But it wasn't that far off, Gu Jin directly threw the man into prison.
Fortunately, the four people back then did not clean up the mess too thoroughly. After all, they were Black Star people, so Gu Jin quickly found the four people.
The teacher was easy to find. After leaving Black Star, he opened a cram school with a partner and worked as a teacher and accountant. However, because it was a marginal planet, they did not earn much. It happened that some time ago, due to the operation to capture the rebels, the people on their planet were directly transferred to the capital planet, and they followed along.
Although it seems a bit flawed, it is actually a more realistic resume.
Gu Jin didn't care about it. Anyway, his subordinates had already reported to him about the captured rebels and even showed him the rebel leader.
A burly man with a fierce-looking face.
At that time, when Gu Jin looked at this familiar face, he immediately felt relieved and quickly instructed to lock the man up. After all, this person was very good at escaping in his previous life.
After the teacher finished the investigation, the three adopted sons were left.
But at that time, there were all kinds of people on Black Star, and they were all from all over the world, so it was really difficult to collect information.
However, after finally collecting the information, Gu Jin really couldn't believe it.
——After all, the probability that those three adopted sons are actually children of noble families is too low.
But genetic testing reports cannot be false.
Plus, the noble who fell to Black Star was indeed a little strange. The noble with silver hair and golden eyes in the photo didn't look like an ordinary person. How could he be willing to marry a Black Star person and die after leaving behind three children?
This seemed strange no matter how he thought about it, and then Gu Jin had a guess.
——Could it be the rebels?
After all, he abducted the illegitimate child of a noble and fled to Black Star. Even his dying body was living a comfortable life on Black Star. It seemed a bit of a waste to say that such a person was not a rebel.
But unfortunately, the man has been dead for at least ten years, and Gu Jin really can't find any information about this man, so he can only focus on those three.
After collecting enough information, he began to worry about how to maximize the benefits of this matter. After all, this matter was indeed a royal scandal.
——Especially the three adopted sons will shake Ou Che’s throne.
but……
In this way, Ou Che will feel a sense of crisis and will desperately want a child of his own to inherit the throne.
It is absolutely easy to propose dethronement or divorce at this time.
Moreover, those three adopted sons must have some grudges against Ye Wangxing for abandoning them back then. Even if not, these three adopted sons would make Ye Wangxing stand against the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother just wanted to keep the power and not have it taken away by others.
Especially this person is Ye Wangxing, the queen whom she had always used as a chess piece!
That's why Gu Jin specially chose today.
There are enough people and the management is a bit chaotic, which is the best time to release this news.
Gu Jin waited until the banquet was over and then sent a maid to give the official the reward he deserved.
——An opportunity.
As for whether he can get to the top, it depends on his skills and abilities.
This official was not one of his subordinates, but just a disposable pawn. However, it was precisely this kind of person who was most suitable for doing such a prominent thing.
He would not be like Ou Che, who would let his trusted men do such a thing as being the first to be shot.
Count Andre has not been out of the house for a month.
Gu Jin thought about it, and then he began to wait for the next public opinion - and was ready to manipulate it at any time.
And the facts were just as Gu Jin expected.
The pursuer becomes the adopted son, this kind of dramatic thing attracts attention wherever you go.
The tabloids even described the entire process of the banquet.
——It was as if they were hiding under the table, and the tone of their conversation was perfect.
It's just not authentic.
After all, these tabloids even have psychological activities when they are written.
But public opinion throughout the empire was mobilized.
After all, the people of the Empire have become accustomed to the style of these tabloids, which never stop trying to shock people with their statements.
This also led to a very high level of acceptance among the imperial people.
but……
"What's wrong with this tabloid? The headlines they write these days are getting more shocking than the last."
The student muttered quietly, secretly glanced up at his tutor who was tutoring him but didn't look at him, and immediately opened the smart computer and began to read.
— and then he almost screamed out loud in class.
"An interstellar ethical drama suddenly appeared at the Imperial Palace Banquet! ——Is His Majesty the Golden Toilet's plan to depose the Queen completely hopeless? "
The students' eyes lit up instantly.
"Our pitiful and weak mute queen, who got married, widowed and had an adopted son ten years ago, was revealed to have a 'special parent-child relationship' with three new nobles of the empire! According to insiders, Viscount Cecil who controls interstellar logistics, the captain of the royal guards and the newly promoted combat hero Colonel Wen Shi are all adopted sons secretly abandoned by the queen on Black Star ten years ago!"
"God knows these three had pursued Her Majesty the Queen passionately before. At that time, I was wondering if Her Majesty the Queen was some kind of succubus. But now it seems that these pursuits are more like the attraction between father and son - are you kidding me, what father and son would use their breasts to treat the father's face as a glutinous rice cake?"
"But this news obviously brought a great blow to the three of you - it's not that the person pursuing you has become your adoptive father, but that when Her Majesty the Queen left Black Star, it was very undignified."
"Based on the evidence at the time and some reasonable speculation, we can conclude that Her Majesty the Queen married her first husband in order to leave Black Star. After all, judging by Her Majesty the Queen's behavior over the years, our dear Queen is not much braver than a mouse."
"It's normal for Her Majesty to want to escape from Black Star, but she abandoned her three adopted sons because of this. One can imagine how much hardship our three upstarts went through before they could stand in front of our dear Her Majesty again. It's simply the beginning of some bloody revenge drama, but Her Majesty once again surprised us."
"He didn't deny it, nor did he panic. Instead, he just stood there and looked straight at the three children who once belonged to him. What was he thinking about at that time? Was he thinking about how tall and big they had grown? Or was he regretting his abandonment of them?"
"I was like a panicked rat, escaping from the nightmare hell of Black Star, but I left three children there. When you looked at them, Your Majesty, what were you thinking about? Your hidden past was about to be exposed..."
"Or are you thinking back to when they were little and relied on you?"
The student felt so jealous when he saw this that he didn't even notice that the tutor on the stage had turned his gaze towards him.
Having written this, this article is coming to an end.
Even the reporter did not forget to mock the emperor at the end. It seems that this reporter really has a grudge against the emperor.
"…Finally, let's play a song called "Green Light" for His Majesty Ou Che, who wears an emerald crown on his head. Our Majesty, who is busy inlaying diamonds in his nostrils, obviously didn't expect that the plan to depose the queen would encounter an epic backlash. What kind of waves will the appearance of three adopted sons bring to the position of royal succession? Let us wait and see (don't forget to follow!)"
The student finished reading the article with great interest, and without saying a word, he clicked the follow button, waiting for the next chance to watch the article. However, as soon as he clicked the follow button, his smart brain was taken away, and the student looked up tremblingly.
I just happened to meet the tutor's face which was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Student: ...I wish I could see the emperor’s subsequent reaction.
He really wanted to know how the emperor would react to such public opinion!
"Ye Wangxing and the three of them are meeting here today?"
Ou Che said with some curiosity in his voice. Although he had been ridiculed for a while after the tabloids reported those things, more people still cared about the situation between Ye Wangxing and his adopted sons.
Gu Jin brought Ou Che here specially, and Ou Che really wanted to know what the three of them and Ye Wangxing would talk about. However, he didn't expect that his dress delayed a little time, and by the time they arrived at the box, the meeting in front had already begun.
And through the extremely concealed camera ball, they could clearly see the expressions on the faces of several people.
Viscount Cecil had a cold and mocking expression on his face, and the chief guard beside him, although still gentle and elegant, had a somewhat cold expression on his face. As for Colonel Wen Shi...
He was so angry that he was about to fight with Master Ye Wangxing!
"...Where were you when we were being hunted? Where were you when my brother and I were separated? You're talking about making amends now? How do you want to make amends? And can you make amends?!"
Wen Shi seemed to be the one who had the most affection for Ye Wangxing, and he was the most excited person in the entire box.
And Ye Wangxing...
Gu Jin turned his head and found that Ye Wangxing's lips were tightly pursed and there were complicated emotions in his eyes, but he was not trembling. On the contrary, he looked very calm.
——A calmness that was totally inconsistent with his character.
It was completely different from the previous time when his hands started shaking after he spoke a few words.
Before Gu Jin could figure out why Ye Wangxing's behavior was different from before, he saw Ye Wangxing call up his own holographic screen.
——Apparently he asked the Queen Mother to remove the restrictions of the holographic screen before coming out.
Ye Wangxing did not hesitate. He immediately controlled the holographic screen and generated two lines of words on it.
"I'm sorry, I will make it up to you. After all, what happened was my fault, and I won't run away."
"Whatever you do to me is what you should do."
He wrote on the holoscreen in silence.
Then he gently closed his dark eyes.
As if waiting to be killed.
Gu Jin saw the words written by Ye Wangxing and his actions:...What vicious words are you talking about!
But before Gu Jin could finish his words, a voice came from the side.
"I never thought that a cowardly queen like me would actually have some sense of responsibility as a father at this time. He may not be good at being a queen, but he does have the sense of responsibility of a father."
Gu Jin turned his head suddenly, and his neck suddenly made a cracking sound.
But Gu Jin couldn't care less. He looked at Ou Che in shock and sighed, his face full of disbelief.
"No, the three of them are almost carrying Ye Wangxing to the highway, and you are still standing here in Makkabaka? ? ? "
