Chapter 627 Don’t Come Back Before the Ninth Level
Crash——
The curtains were drawn open by Li Qi.
Li Qi, wearing a pure white bathrobe, stood in the sun and yawned.
Then he waved his hand and used his mind to control the TV in the room to turn on. The TV was broadcasting a report on the rebellion that had occurred a few days ago.
After this incident, a major purge took place in the entire political arena of the empire. All officials belonging to the second prince's faction were killed, arrested, demoted, or exiled.
In short, the political foundation of the Second Prince's line completely disappeared, and the other political resources left were all divided up by other princes and princesses.
But these are not the most important things.
is another matter.
"——Today, Her Majesty the Queen personally put the crown of succession on Her Highness Ephisia, which means that Her Highness Ephisia will become the tenth princess of the empire and have the right of succession..."
"Ephissia..." Li Qi looked at Ephissia on TV, who was receiving the Queen's blessing in the palace, with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.
As soon as the incident on that day happened, Ephissia immediately came into the Queen's sight. With the merit of "saving the emperor", and the fact that Ephissia was also the Queen's own child, it was reasonable for her to become the tenth princess of the empire.
But the problem is that this is not something that Ephisia can do.
Where did her army come from, why were they able to arrive at the scene so quickly, and why were they able to quickly destroy the magic circle so that the Queen could free up her hands to deal with the light cannon.
Such questions are not only in Li Qi's mind, but also in the minds of others.
Sophiuna raised the most questions, and she even went to the Queen in person to accuse Ephisia of communicating with foreign enemies.
However, all accusations will disappear today.
The Queen allowed Ephissia to obtain the right of inheritance, which meant that the Queen would fully trust Ephissia in the future.
No matter how many suspicious points there are about Effie, or whether she is really entangled with the Fuxing Society, these will no longer be important.
The important thing is that Ephisia took over the position of the second prince, filling the vacancy among the nine princes and princesses, and the other princes and princesses had one more rival.
This is what everyone is focusing on.
Originally, everyone thought that the second prince was dead and that they could quickly divide up all the resources under his name.
But the appearance of the tenth princess made everyone's plans come to nothing.
Although the Queen did not particularly favor Ephissia, she personally made the matter of the Tenth Princess public today, and Ephissia's fame spread throughout the empire.
Even those members of the Second Prince's lineage who should have been liquidated also found a place to go.
In the Second Prince's lineage, the middle and lower levels actually don't know very well what the Second Prince is doing, but just because they belong to the Second Prince, they must also be liquidated.
Either they were demoted, exiled, or simply lost their official and noble status completely.
This is something they cannot accept.
But if they were asked to join another prince, they would not be able to make a decision for a while.
Other princes and princesses could indeed protect them, but the power of these princes had already been established, and they were never valued in the past, and might even be bullied by others.
However, if they rely on the tenth princess Ephisia, they don't have to worry about this problem.
The tenth princess was a newly promoted princess, and she had not been taken seriously before. She was even exiled abroad and stayed in the Federation for several years.
She had no time to build her own power. Apart from a troop that was said to be from a former prince, she had no other resources to show for herself.
It's just the right time to seek refuge with her!
Therefore, as soon as Ephisia became the princess, she already had a group of qualified people under her.
If she could digest these teams and make them completely her own, she would be able to gain a firm foothold among the many heirs to the throne.
But fighting for the throne is not that easy.
Especially for a country as huge as the Empire...
Li Qi was a little worried about Ephissia, but now he couldn't contact Ephissia.
The first is that Sophie Yuna doesn't allow it.
The second is...
Because of [Power], he is now grounded.
Of course, when he was under house arrest, he was just not allowed to leave the planet Sarnak.
As long as he doesn't leave this planet, he can do whatever he wants here, even if he wants to blow up a volcano for fun, no one will stop him.
For ordinary people, this is certainly not house arrest, but for Li Qi who originally wanted to visit other original realms, this is no different from house arrest.
With a light sigh, Li Qi took a bath and changed his clothes under the care of the servants, and planned to go for a stroll near the sea of flowers.
In addition to Zelia's exclusive pavilion in the sea of flowers, there are actually several other places where you can enjoy the flowers, but these places are only accessible to a few people recognized by Zelia, such as Li Qi and Yolin.
It is also one of Li Qi’s privileges.
But Li Qi was ultimately unable to go to the sea of flowers.
Yolin found him.
"Rich."
In the courtyard of the manor, Yue Lin stopped Li Qi who was planning to go to the sea of flowers to appreciate them.
Li Qi turned to look at You Lin and joked to him, "Hey, Brother You Lin is willing to come out today?"
“Ahem…”
After hearing what Li Qi said, Yue Lin suddenly felt embarrassed.
As for why Yolin was so embarrassed...
Do you remember what Yolin said at the beginning, 'I am here to protect you'?
That's right, during this attack, Yolin was assigned to deal with the forces of Elena's lineage, and failed to appear in front of Li Qi to protect him at the critical moment.
Although Li Qi didn't care about this matter, and after all he didn't need anyone's protection now, Yue Lin still felt embarrassed and didn't dare to meet Li Qi for several days.
Now that it finally appears... I guess it wasn't my own will.
Seeing that Yolin was speechless, Li Qi stopped joking and asked seriously:
"Something's going on? Is it something about mother?"
"Um."
Yolin took a deep breath and said to Li Qi, "Mother wants to see you...and the Queen too."
"Is it the Queen who wants to see me, or is it my mother who wants to see me?"
"It's the mother, but the queen is also here, so..."
"......?" Li Qi was stunned: "Wasn't the Queen blessing Ai Fei just now?"
“That was a recorded broadcast.”
Yolin replied.
In fact, the blessing had already been completed, and the scene being broadcast today was just a pre-recorded broadcast, but it was displayed as a live broadcast by the Empire Television Station.
I see.
Li Qi nodded suddenly, but did not ask any more questions. He said to Yolin, "I understand. Brother Yolin, please lead the way."
With a light sigh, Yolin seemed to want to say something to Li Qi, but in the end he didn't say a word. He led the way and brought Li Qi to Zelia's study.
Compared to the huge manor, Zelia's study seems very "small".
The total area is no more than 100 square meters. It has bookshelves and various simple decorations. It does not look like a noble's study room, but more like an ordinary family's study room.
And it is in this study that sits the two most powerful people in the empire today.
The Queen, and Prime Minister Zelia.
When Li Qi came, the two were still chatting and laughing there. Here, it was the Queen who was talking and laughing, while Zelia still had the same expression.
Only when Li Qi came over did they stop talking and turn their eyes to him at the same time.
"Rich is here." The first to speak was the Queen, with her usual gentle smile on her face, as soothing as the Virgin Mary.
Zelia just nodded to Li Qi, motioning for Li Qi to come in, and didn't say anything else.
After walking into the study, he looked back at Yue Lin. Seeing Yue Lin leave the room and close the door considerately, Li Qi realized that this conversation was probably an extremely secret one.
He didn't know what the Queen and Zelia were going to say to him.
After Yolin completely left the room, the Queen turned to look at Zelia with a smile: "You say it?"
"Yeah." Zelia nodded slightly, then asked Li Qi: "Where does your power come from?"
“…”
As expected, he came for power.
Li Qi felt a little nervous.
He had also heard Sophie Yuna talk about power in the past few days.
A kind of "rule" that is above the rules and can be used in the world! It will not be restricted by any world, that is [power]! Li Qi did not expect that his alchemy would become [power].
He felt that with the abilities he had learned in the past, even if he combined them all, he would never be able to reach the level of [Power].
It was that mysterious strong person, and the inheritance she left behind, that was the source of Li Qi's ability becoming [Power]! And now Li Qi was worried that if that strong person had any grudges against the interstellar world, then he... shouldn't be killed here by Zelia and the Queen, right?
Yes, Zelia likes him very much, but Li Qi can't bet everything on her liking.
Therefore, his answer became cautious and careful. He replied: "It was... a strong person who summarized my past abilities and left a legacy... Then I mastered this ability."
"Strong?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen immediately became interested: "You used the word 'she'. Is the strong man's appearance a female?"
"I'm not sure. After the inheritance, I forgot what she looked like. I just have a vague impression of her."
Li Qi was telling the truth about this.
After that powerful man left his inheritance, for some unknown reason, he erased most of the impressions of her in Li Qi's mind.
Only the other person's name was left.
Sally.
Li Qi will probably never forget her name in his life.
After saying this, Li Qi asked the two worriedly: "…Is the identity of that strong man…ok?"
His concern was not a pretense.
Under the watchful eyes of two ninth-level consciousness masters, his disguise was meaningless and he could only show his true self.
The Queen laughed when she heard this and shook her head, "No problem, but this kind of strong person must have a reason for doing anything. Are you sure she didn't mention anything else?"
Li Qi shook his head.
Maybe, but he really didn't remember anything.
Zelia whispered, "This is a good thing, but also a bad thing. Since you already have the power, you have to find a way to conceal this matter. Lily and I... ahem, Her Majesty the Queen called you here to talk about this matter."
Lily...? Li Qi blinked and looked at the Queen.
Before he could think about it, he heard the Queen say, "Don't you want to go to other worlds to have a look? It's a good opportunity. Take this opportunity to go out for a walk. Try not to come back until you have completely mastered the power and are promoted to the ninth level."
Li Qi was stunned: "Can I... ask why?"
Zelia calmly replied, "It's simple. If the fact that you have the power is exposed, you will die here."
“…”
Li Qi was silent for a moment.
