That night, Xiao Gu left silently and went to the palace.
Ji Chae Yi brought Liu and knocked on Xiao Bai's door.
Once they entered the room, Chae Yi looked at Shirō Makino with a smile, but as she smiled, her eyes turned red.
"Xiao Bai, I …"
Just as the word left her mouth, her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Liu stood to the side awkwardly with heartache.
Lin Zijin, who was chatting with Xiao Bai in the room, stood up and walked over to hold Ji Chae Yi's hand. "Chae Yi, what's wrong?"
Shirō Makino put on a serious expression and said in a low voice, "Chae Yi …"
Ji Chae Yi pursed her lips and looked at Shirō Makino pitifully.
"You're still too young!"
Chae Yi cried even harder.
Lin Zijin glared at Shirō Makino. That's not what you said earlier. You even praised me. What's going on? Big brother is not such a narrow-minded person!
"I'm pregnant now. From now on, you and Liu will have to worry about changing diapers and making milk powder. You won't even have a private life."
Cai Yi raised her head. Her tear-stained face was full of dullness.
Liu's lips twitched. What kind of expression should I put here?
"But it's fine! It's fine even if you're pregnant. We'll figure it out together. But for the next match, don't go on stage, in case … "
"Xiao Bai, you bastard!" Chae Yi finally reacted and glared at Shirō Makino. "You're pregnant! You're the one who's pregnant!"
"Hahahaha!" Shirō Makino couldn't help but laugh. "I'm the one who can't do this …"
"I'll kill you! Stinky Xiao Bai! "Chae Yi acted like she was about to rush up to him.
Lin Zijin gently pulled her back, and Lin Zijin couldn't help but glare at Shirō Makino. Smelly brother!
Standing behind Chae Yi, Liu grinned and secretly gave her a thumbs up.
Shirō Makino gestured for them to sit down and brewed a few cups of tea. He smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It can't even be considered a quarrel, right? Look at you two. It's as if the sky has collapsed. You even came here to talk about it. Is there a need to do this? "
Chae Yi had already calmed down. She gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a tissue and said with a little grievance, "I don't know what happened to me in the afternoon. Anyway, I just felt a surge of anger and didn't want to think about anything else. Because at the time, I really felt that this guy was quite selfish. So what if he was a prince? Was it that amazing? Did we really care about getting to know you? If it wasn't because you brought him in, how could everyone accept a new teammate so easily? "
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm also basking in big brother's glory!" Lin Zijin said with a smile.
Chae Yi looked at her and shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, no. You're not. Me, Shan Gu, Si Yin … and even Liu, we're all your fans. Even if you don't know Xiao Bai, we especially welcome you."
"I'm so popular." Zi Jin giggled foolishly, without the slightest bit of arrogance.
She was just a silly girl next door. Hmm, the super beautiful kind of silly girl. She looked easy to deceive.
Chae Yi continued. "That's why I really couldn't help it at that time. You don't have to care about anything, but in a team, in a group, you can't just think about yourself and ignore others."
Shirō Makino nodded. "You're right. I didn't think it through and neglected your thoughts."
"No, you didn't. The reason why I came to find you now is also because of this. You're stuck in the middle. It must be hard for you. You can't bear to part with us, but you can't blame him either. That's why you're the one who feels the most aggrieved. "Chae Yi said sincerely.
Shirō Makino said, "Chae Yi, you've become so understanding. I'm not used to it."
"Pfft! I've always been understanding, okay? Have you forgotten who brought you to eat your first bowl of rice noodles? " Chae Yi glared at him, then laughed. "Ever since I met you, I feel like the future of my life has changed greatly."
"Of course, big brother is so amazing!" Lin Zijin bragged blindly and shamelessly.
Even if what she said was true, it still made people speechless. Fortunately, everyone was used to it.
Ji Chae Yi looked at her with a smile. "You little girl, really. I'll have to teach you a few tricks later."
On the other side, Old Liu looked at Bai Muye sympathetically. Bai Muye shrugged his shoulders with a look of indifference.
It's useless. My little girl is smart. She doesn't need you to teach her.
At this time, Liu said, "Actually, I think today's situation is quite good. I can see that Chae Yi isn't the only one who thinks about it. Shan Gu also thinks about it. He just doesn't say it. Si Yin is the only one who is carefree and happy all day long. "
Lin Zijin said, "It's not that Si Yin doesn't think about it. She just doesn't want to think too much. She prefers to face life with a smile every day."
Liu nodded. "Yes, that's how it is. So, you can just let this matter be. Once the unstable factors in the guild are dealt with, things will be better in the future!"
Shirō Makino looked at Liu and said, "If he succeeds, many of your wishes will come true, Liu."
"That's true, but it can't be done that way." Liu said seriously, "If not for this matter, I would probably need 30 to 50 years. I still need your help in the middle to reach the kind of influential position I want. In the process, I can accumulate power bit by bit, and I can also manage it bit by bit. "
"But now … … what you have done is the equivalent of giving me a direct train to the peak of power. Although it is tempting, this won't do. I can't do this. "
Liu looked at Shirō Makino. "Without the experience of accumulation and settling, I will definitely make mistakes if I hastily take up a high position. Something that seemed normal to me now, but it might be a little radical, and it might be wrong. If I am not in that position, I won't have the chance to do it. After a few decades, when I reach that position, I might not be able to do it. You understand what I mean, right? "
Shirō Makino nodded. Just like Liu's evaluation of him, he was not lacking in wisdom in this aspect.
Lin Zijin and Chae Yi were not interested in this topic, and they went into the inner room to have a private conversation.
In the living room, Liu and Shirō Makino had a heart-to-heart talk. He did not deny the benefits of knowing Xiao Gu. Even though there was also an unimaginable danger hidden here.
But Xiao Gu now had the upper hand!
He had been conferred the title of Crown Prince!
Perhaps when the day comes, it will be very difficult to sit in that position.
But as long as he succeeds, then Liu, who was focused on his official career, would receive unimaginable benefits. No matter how much he wanted to accumulate and settle, his path of ascension would be much smoother than others.
So, regarding this matter, he was very grateful to Shirō Makino.
At the same time.
In the palace, the emperor and his son also had a long heart-to-heart talk.
"It is hard to imagine that you would think it through now. I thought it would take some time." The emperor smiled at Xiao Gu.
Xiao Gu said softly, "That is because I have a group of good friends now."
"But do you know? An emperor … cannot have friends. " The emperor looked at Xiao Gu and sighed softly. There was a hint of pity in his eyes. "A lonely person will never change. That is not just a saying."
"Really … cannot have friends?" Xiao Gu raised his head and looked at his father bravely.
"My son, there is a relationship between the emperor and his subjects. But as the emperor of a country, I cannot say that I do not have friends that I can trust, but … it is too difficult! But I will not force you to cut off those friends of yours. In fact, to be able to make such a big change in you, they have played a huge role. "
The Emperor sighed softly, stood up, and said, "However, you must be clear about one thing in your heart. That is, remember the Emperor's Heart that you once learned. Those things are not for you to use to harm others, but for you to learn to keep them in check. In this world, from the emperor to the commoners, no matter who it is, once they have that kind of unrestrained power, there will be a big problem sooner or later. But once you use that and consider the problem from the perspective of an emperor, then in many things, you might let down your friends. If you do not keep them in check, even if your friends do not cause trouble for you, there will be problems with others. So, emperors are always lonely. You have to be careful and stay alert. You have to learn to control that degree. "
"I understand." Xiao Gu nodded seriously. He was no longer as resistant to his father's words as he was before.
"Go back and visit your third brother and your elder brother." The emperor looked at Xiao Gu. "They are your hands and feet. They are the people that you can rely on in this world. Do not forget what I said no matter what."
"I will remember," Xiao Gu said and raised his head. There were tears in his eyes as he looked at the emperor. "Father, you …"
The emperor nodded and said with a smile, "Don't mind this too much. There will always be accidents in life, and … death is not scary. It is just the beginning of a new life. In your life, you have done many things that go against your conscience. Some are even bad things that people find hard to accept … So, I do not dare to say that I have done nothing wrong to my ancestors or the people, but at least, I have done many good things. "
"Father will always be a great figure in my heart," Xiao Gu said softly.
"Yes, every father is like that in your child's heart. Until one day, when you grow up, you will realize that your father is not so strong, not so strong, not so perfect … "
The emperor sighed. "King Lu harmed me and was killed by me. This looks like his fault, but in reality, the seed of hatred has been planted many years ago. It was I, your father, who harmed him first. "
Xiao Gu was startled.
The emperor said, "I am telling you this because first, I want you to be careful of his descendants. Second, I want to tell you that your father is not so perfect."
Xiao Gu was silent and did not speak.
The emperor smiled. "When your Uncle Li Yu and I fought for the throne, he stood in the dark and fanned the flames. He did many things that made me and your Uncle Li Yu angry. The two of us fought, but we both kept our bottom line. And he … your Uncle Li Xun, is a person without a bottom line. Sly, lazy, greedy, ambitious, and untalented! "
The emperor said lightly, "It is hard for you to imagine that a person like him would have the guts to collude with the Protoss, and it was not just a day or two. When I fought with your Uncle Li Yu for the throne, it had already started! "
Xiao Gu was shocked. "That early?"
"Yes, but at that time, everyone was busy fighting. Who had the time to care about him?" The emperor said.
"But the Protoss … He colluded with the Protoss. Isn't that the most important thing?" Xiao Gu's eyes widened as he looked at his father.
The emperor smiled. "Do you think the Protoss would be so willing to fight us?"
"Huh?" Xiao Gu was a little confused.
"What benefit would they get from fighting us?" The emperor said lightly, "The ancient Protoss were a branch of the ancient civilization. Of course, in terms of race, they were the strongest branch of the ancient civilization. At that time, they tried to unify the entire ancient civilization, establish the Heaven, and tried to become the emperor. However, they were beaten up very badly. The ancient civilization is definitely not their match alone, but if they join forces, they can easily press them to the ground and beat them up. "
Xiao Gu: "…"
"The Protoss at that time were proud. They didn't want to join forces with anyone. In their eyes, the entire ancient civilization, other than them, the Protoss, were inferior races. "
The emperor said lightly, "They didn't understand the logic that our ancestors understood. They didn't know how to unite the majority. So, they failed. After that, the Protoss left and left Andromeda Galaxy. However, it was precisely because of this that they managed to survive. When the ancient civilization was destroyed, they were the only ones who didn't suffer a huge blow. "
"Father, the ancient civilization …"
"Don't ask, it's taboo." The emperor raised his hand to stop him. "If we really attract the attention of certain existences, we won't have a good life."
Xiao Gu nodded, not really understanding.
The emperor said, "Some things, when you sit in this position, you will naturally understand."
"So, between the Protoss and us humans, there isn't that kind of deep hatred. But if they don't kill us, they will also suffer."
Xiao Gu mumbled, "A dog that they raised?"
"That's harsh, but it's the truth." The emperor nodded.
Xiao Gu thought about it and mumbled, "If through this kind of war, both sides can become stronger, then one day …"
"Stop, stop, this topic, let's stop here." The emperor looked at his son helplessly, at the crown prince he had chosen. "Remember, in the future, you must remember, many things, you can do, but you can't say."
Xiao Gu looked at him. "I understand, father."
"Go, I can probably last until the day you win the championship … but speaking of which, when it's time to go on stage, when it's time to go on stage, when I was still a prince, I didn't care about that. Even though I wasn't that strong, I still went on stage to compete!" The emperor said.
"Ah? Father … you went on stage to compete? "Xiao Gu was shocked." I've only seen Uncle Li Yu's video, I've never seen yours. "
"Hehe, I deleted it." The emperor blushed. "After all, getting beaten up is not something to be proud of."
Xiao Gu: "…"
"But you're different, you're much better than I was back then! So, when it's time to show your face, just show it, it's nothing! It's not a taboo. " The emperor looked at Xiao Gu. "You also need to show some results, to let the people of the Zulong Empire have a preliminary impression of you. Whatever impression you want to leave on them, do whatever you want. "
"Father, you've also heard about the rumors recently?" Xiao Gu asked, a bit depressed.
"Since the start of the league, I've been paying attention. I've been waiting for you to go on stage, but in the end … you've been sitting on the bench pitifully. Could it be that Xiao Bai is purposely suppressing you and not letting you go on stage?" The emperor asked with narrowed eyes.
"No, no, they all want me to go on stage. It's because of me …" Xiao Gu quickly explained, telling the emperor what had happened that afternoon.
After the emperor heard that, he smiled and said, "These children are really not bad! You're much luckier than I was back then! The people that I had high hopes for back then, none of them liked me. "
Xiao Gu was silent again. A son should not criticize his father. Furthermore, in his heart, no matter what his father did, it did not stop him from being a wise and righteous father.
"Before I leave, I will have a good talk with your Uncle Li Yu. If, and I'm saying if … I can't get through to him, then I will leave you a way out. However, no matter how good a plan is, it's just a plan. How far you can go still depends on your ability. "
The emperor looked at Xiao Gu and said softly, "Ying 'er, actually, your third brother is very outstanding. He's not weaker than you."
"I know." Xiao Gu nodded.
"But do you know? I'm not afraid of him becoming a puppet after he ascends to the throne. I'm afraid that if he ascends to the throne, he will immediately turn against your Uncle Li Yu. At that time, the world will be turned upside down, and in the end, both sides will suffer great losses. We, the Zu Long, cannot withstand this kind of torment. Your Uncle Li Yu is indeed outstanding, but he's too confident. That's how he lost to me back then. If your third brother really goes up, there's a high chance that he will also lose to your third brother! But the problem is, if he loses to me, I won't kill him because he's my biological brother! But if he loses to Xiong 'er … he will die. I don't want him to die. "
Xiao Gu looked at his father blankly. These words shocked him. He thought he knew his third brother very well, but it seemed that he did not know him as well as he thought.
Did his biological brother really not want to fight for the throne?
"There are some things that I hope you can see through, but I also hope that you can pretend to be ignorant after you see through them." The emperor sighed. "The most heartless family is the Emperor. I can't do that well myself, so naturally, I can't expect you to do better. But unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't want you brothers to turn against each other. "
"Father, I won't," Xiao Gu said softly. "Even if one day we really turn against each other, I won't kill him."
"I hope so." The emperor nodded. "Go and see your mother. Her health hasn't been good all these years. Then, go and see them. Remember, when you see them, don't mention the conversation between you and me today. I know you're a magnanimous person. But you can't talk about this! "
"I understand!" Xiao Gu then bowed to his father and retreated.
In the room, only the emperor was left. The gray-haired emperor smiled and said to a direction in the air, "Ying 'er has grown up."
"Yes, Your Majesty, he's much more mature than before." A soft voice came from the air.
"Leaving such an empire to him, I … can be at ease." The emperor sighed.
"Your Majesty, why don't you …" The voice in the air seemed hesitant.
"No, I can't say it, I can't say it." The emperor repeated twice. His slightly cloudy eyes opened slightly as he murmured, "The great terror of life and death, it'll be fine once I've overcome it."
A soft sigh came from the air. In the study, it gradually became silent.
The next day, at 8 PM, the first match of the third and final round of the Empire League officially began.
This match, Fu Long Battle Team against Ethereal Battle Team.
In the press conference before the match, Ethereal Battle Team, who no longer felt any pressure, expressed that they would play the last two matches well and would not go easy!
Regarding this, countless people on the internet couldn't help but let out sympathetic laughter —
Go easy?
You'd better pray that you don't get beaten up repeatedly on the ground and get two 9-0s!
