Chapter 126
When this sentence entered the guard's mind, he didn't even react to what his Majesty was saying, but his body had already taken a step forward and started to bite the grass under the flower wall next to him.
——It looks like a specialty dish from a Michelin restaurant.
The guard bit his teeth so firmly and resolutely that in less than a second, his mouth was filled with grass like a sheep.
And in just this one second, the guard finally realized what his majesty meant.
“——!!!!”
The guard's eyes widened and he wanted to scream, but the scream that was about to burst out of his throat was forcibly blocked back into his throat by the bitter juice.
'What! is happening!'
It is understandable that His Majesty has an illegitimate child. In fact, such a thing will move the royal family members who only want His Majesty to leave behind good genes to tears.
but……
"——Is that child the Crown Prince's lover? Your Majesty is a bit too rude, ha, ha ha."
The guard officer laughed dryly in his mind.
Just don't think about the answer that is almost obvious.
After all, how is it possible? The eldest prince is such a serious person. Even during his rebellious period, he wanted to be an actor and managed to become the best actor. He can be said to be the only normal person in the entire royal family.
Not to mention His Majesty, he is always thinking about expanding the territory. He is either on the way to the front line or returning to the capital planet to get the ministers to agree to let him go to war.
Although the current Crown Prince looks quite normal, his attitude towards his fiancé and his feelings towards noble ministers in private make them wonder if his thoughts have returned to more than 1,000 years ago.
The other members of the royal family's frequent childbearing practices have directly topped the universe's insanity list. Only the elusive corruption tactics of the Second Alliance can barely compete with them.
However, in this regard, the royal family's method of getting a child and the alliance's mysterious corruption methods are very similar - that is, doing so is actually legal.
So much so that Your Majesty's father was delighted to have Your Majesty, who had gathered all the excellent gene sequences of the royal family.
And His Majesty could not escape.
But fortunately, it seems that he has learned his lesson - after His Majesty came to power, he, a man with excellent genes, directly and drastically began to reduce the rights of the royal family and the power of the nobles.
So when it comes to His Majesty's children, they are not as crazy as before, demanding everything to be perfect.
But unfortunately, His Majesty's genes were too strong, so that the eldest prince was an exact replica of His Majesty when he was a child. This frightened the royal family members who were scared by the loss of power, so they immediately created the second prince.
How could such a perfect prince do such a thing?
The guard thought ostrich-likely.
But unfortunately, the eldest prince's voice that followed forced the guard to face the truth that he did not want to face at all.
"Then please prepare to have a grandchild. I will bring the child back to the royal family and register it under my name. I hope Your Majesty will show up at my wedding."
The eldest prince's voice said calmly.
"And now, please go back first, Father. The capital planet needs you to take charge."
The guard officer, who had absolutely no way of deceiving himself, said: ...
—You think it doesn’t matter who the child is, as long as that person is yours, right?
Just as the guard officer was silently collapsing, he heard His Majesty sneer, but did not continue the topic of children.
"There's nothing interesting about the capital planet, but this place is pretty good."
His Majesty's voice was lazy and sounded like he was speaking casually, but the guard felt that something was not right.
How could His Majesty be bored with Capital Star? Hadn't he always been enthusiastically working to reduce the power of the nobility and the royal family? His Majesty had toyed with the nobles of Capital Star to the point where they were practically praying for someone to invade the empire's borders.
But the guard thought about it and realized that the nobles in the capital had been calm recently, so he didn't take it to heart. Maybe His Majesty was just bored?
And the eldest prince's statement seems to prove this point.
"...But, I remember you weren't very interested in mechanical manufacturing."
The eldest prince asked with some doubt in his voice.
"That boy, I'm very interested."
When the guard heard his Majesty speak so confidently, the corner of his mouth, which was still biting the grass, twitched. He couldn't help but think that he didn't expect that his Majesty was still a love-brained person.
The eldest prince seemed speechless, and then he turned around and left without saying anything. Before leaving, he specifically said to His Majesty:
"Don't scare him."
His Majesty did not respond, and only two footsteps could be heard leaving the small garden.
The guard's heart finally relaxed a little at this moment, but he still lay there cautiously for a full half hour before he stood up carefully. However, just as he was about to stand up with his hands, he suddenly felt a resistance on his head.
The guard was frightened and looked down cautiously.
——It turned out to be his own mouth, biting the grass.
The guard immediately opened his mouth, made two "Puh" sounds, and spat out the grass in his mouth, which made him feel much better.
However, there was still a bitter taste of grass in his mouth, but he did not call the waiter over. He just wanted to return to his room immediately, preferably without anyone noticing that he had been out.
The guard had good intentions, but when he looked up...
My gaze met two pairs of eyes filled with fear.
The guard stared blankly at his boss, the head of the royal public relations department, and his younger brother, who were standing across the flower wall. His younger brother was also the Crown Prince's rival in love and a good brother.
The two people standing opposite him also stood up and looked at each other with blank eyes.
It turns out that sometimes when people are embarrassed their brains go haywire.
——For example, after seeing the two people opposite him, the guard suddenly had an idea and said:
"...Minister, will you go to the eldest prince's wedding?"
The two people opposite: ...?
Fortunately, the guard officer quickly realized what he had said and hurried back to his room without staying there.
It was Ji Fangtao who, after realizing what was happening, asked his brother with a twitching mouth:
"...Could it be that the royal family is really going to hold a wedding?"
Ji Ming's reaction was to knock Ji Fangtao on the head directly. His old lady loved Ji Fangtao, but compared to him, who had already reached the serious position of royal spokesperson, the old lady would still stand on his side.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not safe here, leave now."
As Ji Ming was speaking, Ji Fangtao looked at Ji Ming's serious expression and swallowed the complaints that were on the tip of his tongue. He just dared to follow Ji Ming obediently until they reached a safe place. Only then did the two brothers breathe a sigh of relief.
Ji Ming, on the other hand, stroked his frightened heart and wondered what was going on!
The reason Ji Ming and Ji Fangtao appeared here was simply because Ji Fangtao had gotten into trouble and was pulled over by Ji Ming to be taught a lesson.
Ji Ming knew that he and the prince had caused a big disaster, so he placed surveillance cameras to monitor the little beta who had a conflict with them. However, when the surveillance camera focused on the richest man, he almost fainted.
Because this news was handed to him by someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and as a royal spokesperson, he also had to write a manuscript and explain the matter. Fortunately, the other party did not intend to make a big deal out of it, but all the procedures had to be followed.
After finally calming down the alliance, Ji Ming didn't know what to say when he looked at their surveillance video.
It’s not a good surveillance, but it actually led to something serious. It’s a good surveillance, but people have already called to complain, so they have to deal with it properly even for the sake of international relations.
Moreover, this surveillance did not reveal any confidential information. At most, we knew that the little beta was having a love triangle with the president and the richest man. Apart from sighing at his amazing skills, we did not get any useful information.
What? Didn't they already show their love-brained nature in front of the camera?
Come on, those two, one is the richest man and the other is the president. Judging from their current status and their past experiences, if their acting skills were not good, Ji Ming would dare to point at Ji Fangtao and call him a giant baby in front of the old lady.
——Although Ji Fangtao is indeed one of them, another manifestation of a giant baby is that he does things without considering the consequences.
When Ji Fangtao really gets angry, he dares to drive a mecha to attack people.
This means that the current video only shows that the two people had a little conflict, but who can guarantee that they will not reconcile right away?
So Ji Fangtao was taken to the small garden by Ji Ming and scolded.
Let him consider the consequences before doing anything next time, and don't assume that someone will help him clean up the mess every time he gets into trouble.
But who would have thought...
Ji Ming wanted to cover his face when he thought of the thrilling scene and the words that were enough to shatter one's worldview.
But then Ji Ming cheered up. If this matter were to be exposed, the entire royal family would become the topic of conversation among the people of the empire.
It even became one of the excuses for the federals to laugh at it.
Thinking of this, Ji Ming felt strangely relieved. After all, their Majesty and the eldest prince had the same lover, and their president and the richest man were not much better off. If a war of words broke out, no one on either side would be able to escape.
but……
When Ji Ming thought of this, while he was calling his subordinates, an idea popped up in his mind.
Is it popular among these big guys to share lovers these days?
And how come the one in the alliance is pregnant, and the royal lover on their side is also pregnant?
But Ji Ming just thought about this doubt for a moment and then put it aside. After all, if he continued to associate it, the answer he would get would be very absurd.
So Ji Ming just thought about this for a moment and let his younger brother go back first.
——Before leaving, he sternly warned Ji Fangtao not to cause any more trouble and let him clean up the mess.
Ji Fangtao was listening to his brother mumbling something with a confused expression, as if he was not listening at all.
It really wasn't his fault. The scene just now was so shocking that Ji Fangtao still hadn't reacted. It wasn't until Ji Ming knocked him on the head a few times that he barely remembered the words "don't make trouble."
However, after returning to the room, Ji Fangtao couldn't help but start thinking about what had just happened.
Ji Fangtao actually has a respectful attitude towards His Majesty. After all, all the alphas in the empire worship His Majesty - except for those nobles who have been stripped of their power.
But even so, it does not prevent the little alphas from these noble families from worshipping His Majesty.
The eldest prince is what many alphas in the empire want to become.
And now…
'Your Majesty may actually have a bastard child, and the bastard child's mother is actually having an affair with the eldest prince!'
This thought directly devastated Ji Fangtao, and he felt that his outlook on life was about to be shattered.
This matter was so difficult to accept that Ji Fangtao was troubled for several days. When he arrived at the party held for the Mechanical Manufacturing Competition and saw Huo Zhengchuan with a gloomy face, he realized something.
——Now is not the time to feel that your idol has been shattered.
Huo Zhengchuan’s matter is the most important thing.
If the story about the illegitimate child was true, and was really his Majesty's - Ji Fangtao didn't believe that his Majesty would let go after knowing that he was the biological father of the child - then it only meant one thing.
Huo Zhengchuan's position as crown prince is in danger.
Although we are not talking about deposing the crown prince now, this is just like electing a presidential candidate next door. As long as there is a choice, as long as His Majesty issues a vote to replace the heir, all people in the empire will receive this vote.
The optical computer will then calculate which royal heir they most want to vote for.
They didn't take this matter to heart before. After all, the eldest prince was so rebellious that he became a movie star in the entertainment industry. The emperor would naturally not be so bored as to issue such a voting questionnaire.
but……
Ji Fangtao looked up at Huo Zhengchuan beside him, his expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
If that child is born, then Your Majesty, holding the child born to your partner, will really not want to take away Huo Zhengchuan's position as the crown prince?
After all, he is the prince!
And what if the eldest prince changes his mind? Recently, the eldest prince has shown signs of wanting to return to the royal family. He used to be a hard-working man in the entertainment industry, but recently he has been honestly participating in a mechanical manufacturing competition as a guest.
Although the eldest prince is very capable even as a vase guest, this also shows his intentions, doesn't it?
Moreover, today he went to talk to His Majesty about the matter of his lover. Each and every one of these things is a problem.
Thinking of this, Ji Fangtao quickly poked Huo Zhengchuan, who was standing beside him with a gloomy face.
Huo Zhengchuan looked over with some confusion. Ji Fangtao asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? You look unhappy. Did something happen?"
Huo Zhengchuan rubbed his brows helplessly and answered honestly:
"It's all because of the surveillance incident. Even though the higher-ups have come down this time, the situation is still not optimistic. But thankfully, my father didn't blame me. He's still focused on the competition."
Although Huo Zhengchuan said that he was thankful, his expression was somewhat gloomy. It was obvious that Huo Zhengchuan was very upset that his father had not asked a single question about such a big matter.
Ji Fangtao also noticed it, but he felt a little uncomfortable. He was about to tell Huo Zhengchuan the truth of the matter, but when he thought of his brother's words not to cause trouble, and that Huo Zhengchuan might directly conflict with His Majesty after knowing this, he did not say anything in the end, but only hinted at it.
He was not stupid enough to tell Huo Zhengchuan about this matter directly.
Not to mention that this matter is confidential. Once it is revealed, even a fool will know that there was someone in the small garden that day. Once the surveillance video is released, he can be sent to prison for eavesdropping on state secrets.
It’s better to hint at Huo Zhengchuan first. If Huo Zhengchuan sells him out, he will be finished too.
Ji Fangtao thought about it and softened his words:
"Your Highness, do you feel that there's something a little strange about His Majesty coming to this competition this time?"
Huo Zhengchuan felt a little confused when he heard Ji Fangtao's words. When did this kid actually want to call him His Highness?
When Huo Zhengchuan heard Ji Fangtao's words, he was also a little confused. He looked at Ji Fangtao, not knowing what he was up to, and just nodded casually.
Ji Fangtao swallowed his saliva and said softly:
"Is it possible that Your Majesty came here to see his lover, and the performance was just incidental?"
When Huo Zhengchuan heard Ji Fangtao's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then a gloomy expression suddenly appeared on his face, but it was quickly covered up by a smile.
"—Impossible. I've never seen Father get close to any beta or omega. Even alphas are the ones who are the most resistant to attack. To him, those alphas who can fight are stronger than omegas and betas."
Huo Zhengchuan couldn't help laughing as he spoke, which made Ji Fangtao next to him so anxious that he almost jumped up from the ground.
But Ji Fangtao could only hint at a few things, not even daring to say more. He could only watch Huo Zhengchuan express his belief in his father.
Ji Fangtao: Your brother is about to be released, and you still believe in your father?
Of course, it could also be the eldest nephew, it all depends on what they think.
Huo Zhengchuan seemed to be completely unaware of what Ji Fangtao wanted to say to him. Even halfway through the dinner, when he saw Fang Yun surrounded by several omegas, Huo Zhengchuan went over to help.
Looking at Fang Yun's admiring gaze, Huo Zhengchuan's somewhat uneasy mood finally calmed down.
In reality, he wasn't as calm as he appeared. On the contrary, the anxiety within him was nearly overwhelming him.
All the mistakes he had made before and the words Ji Fangtao had just said weighed heavily on Huo Zhengchuan's mind.
He understood what Ji Fangtao wanted to remind him. His father might have an illegitimate child, and his father was very fond of that lover. They might even get married.
And when this illegitimate child - or should we say, this is the true fruit of his father's relationship with someone else - appears, will he, the crown prince, still have a way to survive?
Thinking of this, Huo Zhengchuan frowned.
No, he absolutely cannot sit there and wait for death, he should take action.
Thinking of this, Huo Zhengchuan looked at Fang Yun in front of him. Fang Yun's expression seemed very decent, and he did not make a big noise when being troubled by those omegas. On the contrary, with a few clever words, he made these omegas backfire on themselves.
Such talents are worth showing off. He needs to quickly socialize with those nobles and build his own network of contacts.
Although he was doing it before, it is obviously urgent now.
Thinking of this, Huo Zhengchuan said a few words to Fang Yun with a smile, and Fang Yun nodded in agreement very happily.
Even though one of them had a fiancé, the two of them began to smile like a newlywed couple and got to know the nobles one by one.
Fortunately, not many people knew about Ye Wangxing’s engagement back then. In addition, Fang Yun was also a child of the Ye family, so not many people realized that Huo Zhengchuan’s fiancé had changed.
Huo Zhengchuan interacted with the nobles one by one and seemed to be in his element.
This is also Huo Zhengchuan's strong point. If he didn't have some skills, how could he really sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince?
Unfortunately, not only did the others have two more brushes than him, but they even wore slippers with brushes attached, so his abilities could only be utilized now.
As he talked with these nobles, Huo Zhengchuan's expression gradually became more high-spirited, and Fang Yun beside him showed a generous and appropriate smile, which won praise from many nobles.
However, the few playboys surrounding Huo Zhengchuan couldn't help but cast their eyes on the circle of contestants nearby.
——Huo Zhengchuan’s real fiancé Ye Wangxing suddenly appeared in the contestant circle and talked with them.
Ye Wangxing himself didn't seem to care about Huo Zhengchuan at all. He didn't even look back at him.
But this was just on the surface. In fact, Ye Wangxing was discussing Huo Zhengchuan with Yijiu enthusiastically.
[…This time, the protagonist has some advantages. At least he is good at building relationships with the nobles.]
Ye Wangxing kept smiling and spoke to Yijiu in his mind.
And Yijiu also replied calmly:
[After analyzing the protagonist's personality, he is a typical feudal emperor. Although he is somewhat out of tune with the background of StarCraft, based on how he interacts with the royal family, he will indeed develop this kind of personality.]
When Ye Wangxing listened to Yijiu's words, he always felt a sense of déjà vu.
It’s not the kind in feudal society, but the little boys in some villages who are treated like treasures.
However, Ye Wangxing immediately put this idea behind him and began to seriously analyze Huo Zhengchuan's character.
[That's true, but I didn't expect Huo Zhengchuan to be so capable. He maintains a good relationship with the nobles, and the playboys around him have become an unspoken bridge of communication between the two sides. This has also led to Huo Zhengchuan now holding a small amount of power.]
Ye Wangxing spoke in a somewhat serious voice, but as he changed the subject, his tone became relaxed.
[Huo Zhengchuan is indeed a person who plays very well within the rules, but...] Ye Wangxing said to Yijiu in his heart.
But if someone overturns the table and breaks the rules he's familiar with, he'll be at a loss. We can start from this point to attack him, and avoid chasing the fate line everywhere, only to be fooled by it.
Yijiu responded calmly with a hint of relief: "Host, you've finally grown more sensible. It seems these five years have made you grow considerably."
When Ye Wangxing heard what Yijiu said, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously softened his voice and said:
[It's been five years already? Really? The timelines for entering the mission world are all different. I almost forgot what the Spring Festival looks like...]
Ye Wangxing said in a depressed mood.
Yijiu seemed to be racking his brains to find words to comfort him, but before he could organize his words, Ye Wangxing regained his spirits.
[It's okay, Yijiu. This will give you the motivation to finish the task sooner.]
Ye Wangxing said with a smile, but Yijiu felt a sense of heartache in his emotional simulation module, so after calculating the current situation of his host, he finally decided to give his host some comfort from the warmth of reality.
After regaining consciousness, Ye Wangxing put the champagne on the tray of the robot beside him and was about to sit on the sofa and enjoy some emo for a while.
If the parents are normal, how could they not miss home?
Ye Wangxing's eyes turned slightly red as he thought about it. He turned around as if to hide his mistake and was about to leave, but suddenly a large shadow appeared in front of him, and then...
His face seemed to be stuck to something.
Ye Wangxing looked up subconsciously.
A pair of golden eyes that Ye Wangxing personally adjusted appeared in front of him.
Before Ye Wangxing could react to why the emperor was here, he felt the warmth of his skin passing through the fabric onto Ye Wangxing's face.
Wait, skin temperature?
Ye Wangxing lowered his head instantly.
——Just happened to come into contact with the emperor’s strong chest muscles.
Ye Wangxing realized what he had just experienced: ...
[Nineteen!!! What are you doing?!]
