Chapter 130 Chapter 130
In the eighth month that Ruan Shiqing had been in a coma, the glass jar at the bedside was already filled with star medals.
Star B3024 has gradually become the center of the alliance. A temporary management center has been established in the inner city, and the outer city has been expanded again and again. It has changed from its previous poor and desolate appearance to the central hub of the entire alliance.
The number of members of the Eastern Alliance continued to increase. All planets that were troubled by the Zerg attacks and the imperial civil war took the initiative to join the Eastern Alliance to seek self-protection.
It is precisely because more and more planets voluntarily join the alliance that the defense line is becoming more and more strict. Although the Zerg is still rampant in the Empire, at least in the Alliance's star field, the damage caused by the Zerg has been reduced to a minimum.
The Eastern Alliance gained fame and was poised to compete with the Siyan government and divide up the territory. The true identity of Rong Heng, the leader of the alliance, was also revealed.
Although the main members wear masks when they appear in public, there are always accidents when killing enemies on the battlefield. The adult Julius is even more eye-catching. As more and more planets are rescued, the image data transmitted to the holographic network becomes more and more complete. Finally, someone finds out the identity of the former prince of the empire from clues.
As soon as the news broke, the entire holographic network became more excited than ever before.
For thousands of years, only the Jewish people were considered the legitimate royal family. When the Jewish people became emperors, the empire's defenses were never broken, and other races did not dare to provoke wars.
All the turmoil started after the death of the last Julius, the Crown Prince of the Empire.
Now that the news that the crown prince of the empire is not dead has been revealed, all the people who have suffered from the war are boiling with anger. More and more people have begun to petition on the holographic network, asking Si Yan to take the throne. After all, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not been "killed" in an attack, it would not have been Si Yan's turn to be the emperor.
Rong Heng's reputation reached an unprecedented height.
Originally, the public had no impression of the Crown Prince who had been stationed in the Yanjis region for many years.
Jumir cubs were weak, and Rong Heng was well protected during his childhood and rarely appeared in public. Later, he entered the growth period and went to the front line to guard. He did not like the showmanship of politicians, and did not accept any interviews or public appearances. Except that his name was occasionally mentioned in the war reports of the Yenges region, the people knew almost nothing about this prince.
If it weren't for the turmoil in the empire, they wouldn't care whether the Crown Prince was dead or alive, or who would be the emperor.
But good and bad are often contrasted.
After experiencing the hardships of internal and external wars, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who founded the Eastern Alliance and supported the defeated insect race on many planets, appeared to be particularly wise, especially with the support of his warmongering father.
At one time, the number of supporters of the Prince's Party increased greatly, and many hesitant planets, after learning of Rong Heng's identity, sided with the Alliance.
The incident of Rong Heng being attacked in the Baghdad region was also dug up, and the people's swords were pointed at Emperor Si Yan, suspecting that Si Yan, who was the regent at the time, planned the attack in order to prevent the crown prince from ascending the throne and steal the throne himself.
In contrast to Rong Heng's ever-rising reputation, Si Yan's reputation has completely plummeted and he is condemned by thousands of people.
In the Parka Palace, Queen Seya clenched her brain and hesitated for a long time, but finally went to find Si Yan.
Si Yan handled government affairs in the study.
When she knocked on the door and entered, Seya first saw the portrait of the queen. The portrait was spotless, as if someone wiped it from time to time. Her eyes dimmed, and she quickly gathered her emotions. She walked gracefully behind Si Yan and put her arm around his shoulders affectionately: "Your Majesty, you haven't visited Soma for two days. He is clamoring to find his father."
After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a boy and named him Soma.
According to her idea, Soma should be made the crown prince after he was born. However, in the past few months, no matter whether she suggested it explicitly or implicitly, Si Yan remained indifferent and never mentioned the matter of making a crown prince.
Even when she complained to her father and asked for help, it seemed that he was not convinced.
Seya sensed that something had changed.
Coupled with the sudden news that Rong Heng was not dead, Seya became panicked and had to come here in person to test carefully.
However, Si Yan was not as gentle as before. There was no smile on his face. He let go of her hand with some distance, and disgust flashed in his eyes.
"You came just in time," he stood up, distanced himself from the other party, lowered his eyes nonchalantly, took out a disinfectant tissue and wiped the parts that were touched carefully: "I just happened to be looking for you too."
Si Yan's overly cold attitude made Seya feel depressed.
The sense of crisis made her subconsciously want to interrupt the other party, but Si Yan did not give her a chance. He raised his eyelids and glanced at her, no longer hiding the disgust and contempt in his eyes: "The news that Rong Heng is not dead, you should have seen it?"
He even stopped calling her "queen" or "empress".
"I see." Seya clenched her fists, her voice a little tense.
She looked at the extremely strange man in front of her, unable to guess his intention in bringing up this matter. She only felt her heart beating faster and faster, and she was shrouded in uneasiness.
The Si Yan in front of her was no longer the husband she was familiar with.
However, when she met the other party's cold eyes, her expression froze, and she suddenly remembered that Si Yan had always been like this.
Indifferent and arrogant, he is like a cold machine without emotions. Only when facing Farah does he look like a living person with some emotions.
The other person's gentle disguise was flawless, and she actually believed it to be true.
"You've been lying to me." She gritted her teeth.
All the tenderness and love are fake. The superficial peace is torn apart, revealing the dirty conspiracy and calculation underneath.
Si Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he did not respond to her question. Without the disguise, he was actually a very emotional person. After wiping his fingers once, he took out a disinfectant tissue and began to wipe them a second time.
The words he uttered were just like him, without any emotion, as plain as if he was reading a verdict.
"On the eve of the succession ceremony, Crown Prince Rong Heng was attacked in the Baghdad region. The destroyer fleet involved in the attack belonged to the Naxi Group and had no service records. They were all destroyed on the grounds that the destroyer engines failed the inspection. However, more than 100 destroyers were not completely destroyed. Several destroyers that were not destroyed in time were stored in Warehouse No. 7980 at the Naxi Group headquarters. I have asked people to restore the destroyed data of the destroyers and obtained conclusive evidence."
"Saya Bart and her father conspired to murder the crown prince. According to the laws of the empire, they should be charged with treason, stripped of all honors, and sentenced to death."
He spoke so much and his speaking speed didn't even change.
When Seya heard him mention the warehouse, she knew he knew everything.
Her face was as pale as a ghost, and her voice was trembling: "You can't do this to me. My father won't allow it. And Soma... Isn't Soma also your child?"
Si Yan raised his eyes, a rare look of emotion appearing on his face.
Seya thought that he just couldn't bear to hurt his child, so she burst into tears: "Soma is our child, do you want him to be motherless right after he is born?"
"He is your child, but not mine." Si Yan retracted his gaze, opened the locked drawer behind the desk, and took out a document: "To me, he is just an experiment."
Such an experiment was extremely simple for him; the document was only a thin page.
Seya picked up the documents and looked at him in disbelief, with a look of despair.
"Since you conspired to kill my child..." Si Yan paused, a cold arc appeared on his lips: "No, since you teamed up to murder Farah, you should have known that this day would come."
When he mentioned his deceased wife, his expression really changed. It was a look of nostalgia and sadness, which was incompatible with his emotionless face.
"When did you know?" When he mentioned Farah's death, Seya's face changed again. She finally wiped away her useless tears, with cruelty hidden in her eyes.
She has never been a weak woman. She would rob the men she likes and kill the ones she dislikes. However, the gentle trap of more than a year has made her hide her sharp claws.
When did you know?
Si Yan did not answer her. He had realized long ago that Farah's death was unusual and had been investigating it secretly. However, it was not until recent years that he finally identified the people involved at the time.
He lowered his eyes, his eyes were deep.
There is still time, we can come one by one.
Seeing that he remained silent, Seya became more and more certain that he had known about it a long time ago. She was afraid that this marriage was a trap set by him from the beginning to the end.
And all this was just for a dead person!
Jealousy and hatred intertwined, Seya calmly reached into her complicated dress, took out the laser gun hidden at her waist in a flash, aimed at Si Yan's chest, and shot in one go.
The energy beam instantly penetrated Si Yan's chest. Her tense expression relaxed slightly, feeling both pained and pleased: "You actually want to kill me for a dead person, so don't blame me for being heartless."
She is an evolved human, while Si Yan is just a weak ancient human. Although she deliberately pretends to be weak and lovable out of respect for her husband, this does not mean that she is really a delicate noble lady.
She was more than capable of dealing with an ancient human.
However, the expected death did not come. Si Yan, whose chest was pierced by the energy beam, still stood firmly in the same place.
Seya widened her eyes in disbelief: "How is it possible?"
Si Yan looked at him coldly and called the guards waiting outside to come in: "Take him away and lock him up with Old Bart."
Two tall cyborgs walked in, rudely handcuffed Seya's hands, and took her away from the study.
Seya turned back with a struggle, and saw him raise his arm, with a faint silver flash on his exposed wrist. She suddenly understood something and said hatefully, "You are a lunatic! A lunatic!"
Si Yan did not respond to her scolding. He just unbuttoned his collar slowly after everyone left.
Under the gradually opening collar, a silver metallic body was revealed.
Since his identity was exposed, Rong Heng no longer led a rescue team personally.
First, as the central hub of the alliance, B3024 still has many areas that need to be improved, and he needs to formulate corresponding regulations as soon as possible; second, Si Yan's tyranny has aroused people's dissatisfaction, and his support rate has soared accordingly. When he leads his troops to other planets for rescue, it always causes a large number of people to gather, which in turn affects the normal work of the rescue army.
It would be better to just stay on planet B3024 to avoid the limelight and spend more time with Ruan Shiqing.
However, the cubs are still leading the team to hunt the Zerg outside. Now that more and more planets have joined the alliance and the safe zone is getting bigger and bigger, they are no longer satisfied with passively waiting for the Zerg to attack, but have begun to actively look for the Zerg's hiding nests.
The cubs have been on the road for a week. Apart from communicating with the cubs every day to learn about their situation, Rong Heng spends the rest of his time accompanying Ruan Shiqing.
He added a low table to the bedroom and moved all the work that needed to be done there.
Sometimes when he was annoyed by dealing with the complicated government affairs, he would look at his sweetheart to calm down. He really couldn't bear to deal with these complicated government affairs, but now there was a shortage of manpower, so he had to do it even if he didn't want to.
The Crown Prince worked for a while, then threw away his computer in annoyance, muttering to Ruan Shiqing, "What's so good about being an emperor? One person has to deal with so many government affairs, and face these annoying things every day. I don't know how many years of life I will lose."
Of course the unconscious person would not respond to him, but he had gotten used to talking to himself over the past few months. He complained to himself for a while and then reached out to grab Ruan Shiqing's hand.
Ruan Shiqing's hands were a little smaller than his, with skin as white as jade and distinct knuckles. When his fingers were curled into fists, they could be completely covered by his palms, which felt very good.
He played with his slender white fingers one by one, the anger between his brows dissipated, and his dark golden eyes narrowed comfortably.
During the days that Ruan Shiqing was in a coma, he grew bolder. At first, he would panic and run away when someone kissed him on the mouth, but now he can play with other people's hands with a very comfortable look on his face.
Anyway, Ruan Shiqing doesn’t know either.
As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought so, his eyes drifted to those rosy lips again.
Swallowing hard, he looked away hesitantly, his face in a state of struggle. Although he said so, he actually only kissed her secretly three times.
The feeling was so wonderful that he would linger on it for a long time. It was like an addiction, and he would want to do it again and again.
For example, now.
After several struggles, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince convinced himself again and just asked for a kiss in advance. At worst, he could wait for Ruan Shiqing to wake up and let him kiss him back.
After convincing himself, he slowly leaned down and kissed the other person's lips.
Her lips were soft and sweet. Rong Heng's eyelashes trembled slightly and he closed his eyes involuntarily.
As soon as Ruan Shiqing woke up, he felt difficulty breathing.
He struggled to open his eyes, but was suddenly confronted with an enlarged face. He was startled and subconsciously wanted to attack, but at the critical moment he recognized this familiar handsome face.
Rong Heng was so engrossed in the kiss that he didn't realize the person had woken up.
Ruan Shiqing held his breath for a long time, and seeing Rong Heng still rubbing his lips like a puppy, with no intention of stopping, he finally couldn't help but turn his cheek away and said, "Have you kissed enough?"
!!! ...
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was immediately paralyzed after being caught.
