Chapter 42 Healing the Imperial General 14
The invisible Xing Jian walked into the palace step by step with the support of Xing Zhanye. Along the way, many dukes and nobles greeted Xing Zhanye, but Xing Zhanye looked indifferent and mostly just nodded without saying much.
These people looked curiously at the strange young man who appeared beside the First General. Xing Jian could not sense the gazes moving back and forth, but it made Xing Zhanye beside him feel a little jealous.
He leaned over to Xingjian's ear and whispered, "Xiaoxing, I hate the way others look at you. I want to dig out everyone's eyes, okay?"
Xing Zhanye's tone was exceptionally gentle, but the content of his words made Xing Jian shudder. This Xing Zhanye's blackening value might have already exceeded the limit. It was a pity that 004 was nowhere to be found now, otherwise he would have heard the little guy's screams.
Xing Jian raised his hand and touched the man's head, and said in a voice that they could both hear each other: "Then I'll just let you watch it alone, okay?"
Xing Zhanye neither said yes nor no, but just quietly enjoyed Xing Jian's touch.
The banquet started soon. Xing Jian, who was standing next to Xing Zhanye, heard everyone's greetings and knew that the old emperor had arrived.
"This is both a banquet and a family dinner, so please feel free to do as you please."
The old emperor's voice sounded a little weak, with a hint of fatigue. His body was getting older year by year, and coupled with the turmoil in the royal family in recent years, I'm afraid the old emperor was beginning to feel powerless.
Where Xingjian couldn't see, the old emperor's cloudy eyes swept across everyone at the banquet, and his gaze soon locked on Xingjian.
Xing Zhanye obviously noticed the old emperor's gaze, but his expression remained normal, except that his hands holding the Star Sword tightened.
After the banquet, the awkwardness among the crowd disappeared a lot, and the old emperor began to talk about the main purpose of convening the royal family for the banquet today.
Was the main purpose to apologize to the Dawn Experimental Base? I'm afraid the old emperor's purpose is far more complicated than that.
As the old emperor spoke, an unexpected person appeared in front of everyone. The servant who appeared beside the old emperor and served tea and water was actually the former crown prince Helian Yu who had been imprisoned for a long time.
The other royal nobles were not fools. Their attention was first attracted to the former crown prince, and then shifted to the eldest prince Helian Shu and Xing Zhanye.
Looking at Helian Shu's shocked face, everyone knew that this was probably done by the old emperor alone.
They could also vaguely guess what the old emperor was up to. When people get old, they always hope that their children will be around them to show their filial piety, especially since the crown prince is the child of the former queen. This banquet was probably organized to bring the former crown prince back into the public eye.
Even though the imperial family was now in decline, the others present still did not dare to openly offend the emperor. They only dared to cast their eyes on Xing Zhanye, the only person present who might resist.
However, Xing Zhanye simply picked up the wine glass calmly, took a sip, then turned sideways and whispered in Xing Jian's ear, "I'm going to be out for a moment. Can you and Adjutant He stay here for a while?"
Xing Jian nodded obediently and felt He Jianshan approaching.
He nibbled at the snacks in his hand and listened to the nobles around him whispering about some gossip he had never heard before.
As time passed, Xing Jian had finished all the snacks at hand, but Xing Zhanye still hadn't returned.
"Mr. He, did General Xing say he was coming back?"
He Jianshan did not answer this question, but handed other snacks nearby to Xingjian.
Suddenly, there was a commotion around the palace.
The sounds of footsteps and exclamations intertwined, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Xing Jian asked He Jianshan, who was standing nearby, in confusion: "Mr. He, what happened? Why are you all screaming?"
The person who answered Xing Jian's question was not He Jianshan, but Xing Zhanye who had disappeared for a while.
"Xiaoxing, are you willing to be my queen?" Xing Zhanye's voice came from in front of Xing Jian, with a hint of unquestionable firmness.
In the world that Xingjian could not see, countless corpses of nobles were lying all over the palace, and blood was spread all over the ground.
The heads of the old emperor and the prince were hung high in front of the palace gate. Drops of dark red blood fell from their frightened eyes, forming a pool of blood on the ground.
The change of dynasties in the imperial royal family made no difference in the eyes of the people of the alliance. In fact, because the new emperor came from the slums, the people even looked at him with more respect.
At the same time, the palace was in a state of panic, not only because the new emperor ascended the throne, but more importantly, their new emperor announced that he would hold a wedding with the queen in a month.
However, because the new emperor's ascension to the throne was too bloody, no one dared to raise any objections.
While everyone was busy, Xingjian was taking a break.
Xing Jian, who originally didn't like going out because he couldn't see, hardly stepped out of his bedroom these past few days. Moreover, Xing Jian discovered a secret: Xing Zhanye seemed to want to imprison him again.
What's going on? Why does every world want to imprison me?
The wedding of the century went very smoothly. Amidst the blessings of the entire universe, Xing Jian and Xing Zhanye walked hand in hand into their bridal chamber.
For the rest of the time, Xing Jian did not step out of the bridal chamber. Although in the eyes of outsiders this was a serious restriction of personal freedom, Xing Jian did not care.
One year, two years passed, and Xing Jian still didn't wait for Dao 004 to return from the system world. He could only silently guess and observe Xing Zhanye's blackening value.
Xing Jian had long anticipated that he might leave this world very early, and the injuries he suffered in the experimental base would be of no avail no matter how Xing Zhanye tried to make up for them later.
In the twentieth year of their marriage, Xingjian could clearly feel that his body was getting weaker day by day.
His body grew weaker day by day, and countless researchers in the Alliance Laboratory were helpless. He knelt in front of the bed and prayed again and again that Star Sword would not leave him.
As time went by, Xingjian was awake less and less frequently. As he couldn't see to begin with, it was even more difficult for him to tell whether it was day or night.
When Xingjian woke up for the last time, he felt extremely relaxed. He knew that he was about to leave this world.
"Xing Zhanye, I'm leaving. We will meet again." Xing Jian didn't notice anything wrong with his surroundings and closed his eyes forever.
"Okay, baby, we will be together forever." Xing Zhanye hugged Xing Jian tightly in his arms, and fell asleep with Xing Jian in the coffin that had been prepared long ago.
