After the chaos in the hall ended, Xia Changluo and Lin Anan, as princes of the empire, summoned all the officials of the empire to the hall and held an emergency meeting.
All of Xia Yuanhan's descendants have been captured by the First Legion and detained in the detention room along with Xia Yuanhan, awaiting interrogation in a few days.
Therefore, at this meeting, apart from Xia Jiyuan's people and some people who had always stood on the side of Xia Changluo and Feng Wu, there were only a very small number of people who had an unclear attitude and were neutral.
The meeting went much more smoothly than Lin Anan had imagined.
The two were legitimate princes of the empire. At the critical moment when the empire was leaderless after the incident in Xia Jiyuan, their identities were there. In addition, Marshal Feng Wu, who was feared by the entire empire, had been following them, showing his support for the third prince. No one dared to act rashly.
Lin Anan was not familiar with these matters, but Xia Changluo was very familiar with them, and could even be said to be very familiar with them.
He is the eldest prince of the empire and an extremely rare brain-powered person. Before being controlled by Xia Yuanhan, Xia Jiyuan attached the most importance to Xia Changluo and even wanted to make him the crown prince of the empire. However, this matter was interrupted by Xia Yuanhan's forcible intervention.
If Xia Changluo had not been physically exhausted during this period, he would never have been at a disadvantage when facing Xia Yuanhan, and he would not even have been able to fight back.
The people attending this meeting were all familiar to Xia Changluo.
With him present, Lin Anan didn't have much to focus on. Xia Changluo was in charge of controlling the pace of the meeting, while Lin Anan only needed to sit beside him and be a quiet 'vase'.
Lin Anan was very satisfied with this.
Even though many people in the audience looked at him with shock and surprise after learning that he was the monster cub who could cure Alpha syndrome, Lin Anan managed to hold back and sit still in his seat.
So many things happened today that Xia Changluo's face was visibly paler than before.
While he was concentrating on the meeting, Lin Anan quietly pulled Xia Changluo's hand, and a trace of supernatural power silently penetrated into his body, and began to eliminate the toxins in his body.
Xia Changluo paused, looked at him, smiled at him, and then let him treat her.
This meeting had three main purposes: first, to decide the trial date and future trial of the criminal Xia Yuanhan; second, to discuss the people of the X galaxy; and third, to select the next monarch.
The discussion of the first topic was quickly concluded. Xia Yuanhan's people had already been detained, so no one present opposed the decision of Xia Changluo and Lin Anan.
No one would feel soft-hearted towards Xia Yuanhan. Among the people present, there were many whose relatives and family members were forced to go to the Sin Star because of Alpha, and some even died because of it.
Their resentment towards Xia Yuanhan, one of the main culprits, is no less than that towards Lin Anan and Xia Changluo.
As for the second topic, since they have not captured anyone from galaxy x, the discussion cannot be continued to the end and can only be put aside for the time being.
As for the last question, who would be the next monarch of the Galactic Empire, the ministers below the stage looked at each other for a moment, and no one spoke.
Xia Changluo paused and said, "In that case, let me nominate the candidate. I think Xia Lin——"
Before he could finish his words, Lin Anan gently pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother."
Xia Changluo looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"I think... let's talk about this later. The most urgent task is to search and guard against the people of the X galaxy." Lin Anan said, "The empire cannot be without a monarch for a day, but the two of us can serve as acting monarchs at the same time and handle state affairs together. Special cases should be treated specially. Holding an election at this time will distract everyone's energy and attention."
His voice was not loud, but because Xia Changluo was wearing a headset and he was relatively close to Xia Changluo, his voice could be heard throughout the hall through the headset.
Someone below said, "Your Highness, I agree with the Third Prince's proposal."
People gradually expressed their agreement. Xia Changluo pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then you can both serve as acting monarchs at the same time."
Lin Anan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the meeting, Lin Anan and Feng Wu went to the detention room where Xia Yuanhan was held.
The environment in the detention room was not good. As a person with offensive abilities, Xia Yuanhan enjoyed the "highest" treatment in the detention room.
A room with the most sophisticated defense system, plus one superpower inhibitor after another on the neck and limbs.
Lin Anan and Feng Wu arrived at the detention room. The first room they went to was not Xia Yuanhan's detention room, but Yu Jin's.
Yu Jin had been tortured, and his willpower was obviously not strong. After confirming that there was no chance for him to turn things around, he chose to confess and told everything he knew.
Yu Jin knew about Xia Yuanhan's cooperation with the X galaxy. Among Xia Yuanhan's confidants, Yu Jin was one of the people he trusted the most and who had followed him the longest.
Before Xia Yuanhan met anyone from Galaxy X, Yu Jin had already expressed his true feelings to Xia Yuanhan.
Of course, whether this was for Xia Yuanhan or for the various benefits Xia Yuanhan promised him, Lin Anan didn't want to waste time to find out further.
What Lin Anan found a bit regretful was that Yu Jin didn’t know much.
Xia Yuanhan was too defensive. Even though Yu Jin had already signed a mental power contract with him, what he told Yu Jin was only that Alpha was part of his cooperation plan with Galaxy X. As for the follow-up plans and whether there were other backup plans, Yu Jin knew nothing about it.
In order to ensure that what Yu Jin said was true, Lin Anan even gave him some Ecstasy pills to ensure that what Yu Jin said was true.
After the interrogation, Yu Jin asked: "Third Prince, if I cooperate so well, can you reduce my sentence?"
Lin Anan paused as he was leaving. He tilted his head slightly and asked, "What do you think?"
Yu Jin smiled and said, "I think so."
"Heh." Lin Anan sneered, "Yu Jin, you knew that Xia Yuanhan chose to cooperate with Galaxy X and created Alpha Syndrome, but you never stopped it from beginning to end, and even participated in promoting it."
He turned around, his eyes cold and heartless: "No one in the entire galaxy will forgive you, including me and everyone who will participate in your trial."
Yu Jin's face changed. He struggled and said, "Third Prince, bending the law for personal gain is not something a gentleman would do. Imperial law stipulates that if someone admits his mistakes with a good attitude, cooperates with the inspection, or even provides assistance to the inspection, his sentence can be reduced."
"Oh, you remember the imperial laws very clearly." Lin Anan raised one corner of his lips, smiling sarcastically, "Then you can't forget that there are three words in front of commutation of sentence: 'depending on the situation'?"
Yu Jin opened his mouth to say something, but Lin Anan didn't give him any chance.
"Yu Jin, the person who will judge you is not me, but the citizens of the entire empire and even the entire galaxy. Everyone has the right to judge you, and if they do not agree to reduce your sentence and think that you have committed a serious crime, even if I want to find a way to let you go, I can't do it."
"When you chose this road of no return, you should have thought about the current situation, right?" Lin Anan said softly, "No one can save you, no one."
Lin Anan and Feng Wu turned around and left the detention room.
The door of the detention room closed with a click. Yu Jin lowered his head, his face looking gloomy.
Xia Yuanhan's detention room was not the same as everyone else's. He was the only one who enjoyed the highest level of treatment. The detention room was also located on the bottom floor of the entire building.
Lin Anan and Feng Wu walked into the elevator, which quickly took them to the tenth floor underground.
There was only one detention room on this floor, and a whole squad of soldiers was standing outside the room.
Seeing that the visitors were Feng Wu and Lin Anan, the soldiers bowed respectfully: "Third Prince, Commander."
The people guarding here are all soldiers from the First Legion, so their way of addressing Feng Wu is naturally different from that of others.
Feng Wuchong nodded to them and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Are there any unusual movements of the prisoners in detention room No. 1?"
"There is no unusual movement." The leading soldier said, "But he kept saying that he was coerced by the people from the X system and did not do these things voluntarily. He also refused to drink the nutrient solution sent to him, as if he was on a hunger strike in protest."
As if she had heard something new, Lin Anan raised her eyebrows: "Interesting, even in this day and age, there are still people using such a useless method as hunger strike."
The soldier agreed.
"Since he doesn't want to drink, there's no need to send him any." Lin An'an ordered, "Before the public trial begins, give him an injection of nutrient solution every three days to keep him alive. Just make sure he doesn't die."
The soldier subconsciously turned to look at Feng Wu, who nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness's orders are superior to mine."
The soldier bowed his head respectfully: "Yes!"
The two walked to the end of the corridor. The door of detention room No. 1 was specially made, and it had a weakening and suppressing effect on all currently known offensive superpowers.
When Lin Anan walked into the detention room, Xia Yuanhan was sitting on the only chair in the room, with his hands handcuffed behind his back and a two-finger-wide neck ring suppressor around his neck.
"Xia Lin, my good brother." Seeing that the person coming was Lin Anan, Xia Yuanhan curled his lips and said, "You are finally here."
"No, I don't dare to be your good brother." Lin Anan stood in front of Xia Yuanhan and looked down at him, "I heard you were crying out for injustice? Saying that you were coerced? This is an excuse you can come up with, and it's as poor as you are."
Xia Yuanhan raised his head gently: "Why, judging from your tone, you don't believe me?"
"Believe it or not, words don't count." Lin Anan chuckled and took out a small bottle of pills from his pocket. "Good second brother, you should be familiar with this bottle of medicine, right?"
Xia Yuanhan's eyes fell on the medicine bottle and his pupils suddenly shrank.
This is a pill made from the herb of love. During the period of effect of the drug, the user can only tell the truth and answer all questions, even if he loses consciousness.
Lin Anan lowered her eyes to admire Xia Yuanhan's expression. She saw his face change from blue to green to black and then to white. It was like a palette with paint spilled on it. It was so spectacular.
Xia Yuanhan's eyes were cold: "Xia Lin, I thought you were such a gentleman, why do you use such dirty tricks?"
"Are you kidding, second brother?" Lin Anan blinked. "It may be dirty, but I don't think this word is accurate to describe this medicine."
He pulled the corner of his mouth, and although he was obviously smiling, there was a chill in his eyes: "It's a perfect way to describe you."
