Before they knew it, it was getting dark. Rubin wanted to let Luo Tian and Shu Ya stay for one night, but they refused, saying they had important matters to attend to.
The Rubins and their two sons saw Luo Tian and Shu Ya off to the car. Before leaving, they gave Luo Tian an exquisite dagger with a scabbard inlaid with sparkling diamonds.
"This wolf-tooth dagger can cut through iron like mud. The prince can carry it with him and use it for self-defense." Rubin said.
Luo Tian put the dagger into his waist and said, "Thank you, Uncle Rubin, for your hospitality. I will convey your greetings to my father when I return."
Qin took out a jade bracelet from her bosom and gave it to Shu Ya: "This is the jade bracelet I asked someone to purchase from the Jupiter District last year. It is said that wearing it often can protect your health. Doctor Shu Ya happens to be from the Jupiter District as well, so this is a small token of our appreciation, please accept it."
"Madam, I can't accept this. It's too expensive." Shu Ya quickly declined.
Qin took Shuya's right hand and put the bracelet on her wrist, smiling and saying, "It really fits you, just like it was tailor-made for you. If you don't accept it, you're not giving me face."
Shu Ya had no choice but to accept it and expressed her gratitude to the Rubins.
Luo Tian and Shu Ya got on the flying car and drove to the Ice Palace. On the way, Shu Ya asked Luo Tian about the result of his conversation with Rubin.
"Rubin remained neutral and made it clear that he would not support only me. It would depend on Rob's attitude at that time." Luo Tian said.
Shu Ya sighed: "So, this time we came back empty-handed."
"I returned empty-handed, but you may not. I saw that Rooney was very attentive to you, and Rubin and Qin even picked food for you and gave you gifts. They probably want you to be their daughter-in-law." Luo Tian joked.
Shu Ya stretched out her hand and twisted Luo Tian's ear, pulling it hard: "I told you to talk nonsense, apologize to me now."
Luo Tian cried out in pain: "I'm sorry, I was just talking nonsense, please let me go."
Seeing that Luo Tian was crying in pain, Shu Ya felt relieved and let go of his hand.
Luo Tian rubbed his ears and muttered, "You are not gentle at all. Wait until I tell Rooney and see if he dares to marry you."
"You're still talking nonsense, aren't you? I won't let go this time." Shu Ya was about to grab Luo Tian's ear again, but was stopped by Luo Tian.
"It's just a joke, why are you taking it so seriously?" Luo Tian said.
"So what are you going to do next?" Shu Ya asked. "In short, the order given to us by the higher-ups is to stabilize the Tianwang District and Tianwangxing City and avoid unrest."
"My idea is very simple. Uranus City must upgrade its technological weapons, and all troops must be equipped with thermal weapons. No one else can be relied on, so we can only rely on ourselves. So that damn interstellar convention must be torn up." Luo Tian said angrily.
"Your idea is indeed simple, and it's the same as not saying anything. What you are doing is tantamount to giving other star cities an excuse to go to war, and then Uranus City will be divided up even faster." Shu Ya disagreed with Luo Tian's approach.
"It depends on who has the harder fist. I don't believe the other five star cities are united. The current situation is very simple. Whoever is the weakest will be slaughtered. If we resist, we may still be able to turn things around. If we don't resist, we will definitely be divided up like now. Instead of this, we might as well give it a try." Luo Tian felt lonely. No one stood with him, and even Shu Ya didn't understand him.
"I will report your idea to the higher-ups. But the problem right now is that even if you equip the army with hot weapons, other star cities will not interfere with you, and the royal family and nobles in the King's District will not support you!" This is exactly what Shu Ya is most worried about.
Luo Tian did not think it was a difficult task. "I have already started to do it. No one can stop me. I am in charge of the Ice Palace Guards. Harry, who is in charge of Uranus City, is my ally. As long as my father passes the throne to me, I can immediately start my plan. Rubin just said that he only listens to the emperor. My two brothers, Roy, are not interested in power, so the only ones who may cause trouble are Roger, and maybe Martha who supports him. This is easy to deal with. By the way, you said someone will start a rebellion, and it is most likely Roger."
"Hearing what you said, the chances of winning are pretty good. As for who the traitor is, we will continue to track him down and tell you when we have information. Anyway, I know your plan, and I will report it to my superiors tonight and notify you then." Shu Ya said.
It was already late at night when the two returned to the West Palace.
"You can stay here tonight. I'll ask Lan Yue to arrange a room for you." Luo Tian said to Shu Ya.
Shu Ya nodded, and the two were walking towards the bedroom when they ran into Lan Yue who was running out in a hurry.
"Prince, something bad has happened. You have to go to the Heavenly King Palace as soon as possible." Lan Yue said breathlessly.
"Don't worry, what happened?" Luo Tian asked.
"Someone came to the palace just now and asked you to go over immediately. I heard that the emperor was poisoned and the situation is not good!"
When Luo Tian heard the news, his head buzzed and he almost fainted. This was too sudden. He was fine two days ago, and the Heavenly King Palace was always heavily guarded. How could he be poisoned? What was even more terrifying was that he had just taken over the defense of the Ice Palace for only two days, and such a thing happened. This was too coincidental, wasn't it?
Without time to think, Luo Tian ran towards the flying car, and Shu Ya followed behind him.
Luo Tian got into the car and started it quickly. At this time, Shu Ya also got in. She held Luo Tian's hand and said, "Don't panic. I'll go with you."
Luo Tian did not object, and the two of them drove the flying car towards the Heavenly King Palace.
"I hope Rob is okay, otherwise we will be in big trouble." Shu Ya said worriedly.
