PNB Chapter 226 Count with fingers
Chapter 226 Count with fingers
Qiu Ling counted on his fingers, "Is it such a distant relative?"
Shang Qi nodded, “There’s nothing we can do, the royal bloodline is already weak, and when the warriors advance to S-level and above, they lose their fertility.
The royal family has abundant resources, and men, who can resist becoming stronger? Therefore, even if one has a useless qualification, he can be turned into an S-level warrior.
Being able to dig these out, it is probably a deliberate trick left by some people, who want to push one of them out as a puppet..."
Wu Yan also pursed his lips and said, "Before, my grandmother was plotted against and became pregnant with Princess Ji Cai, and this matter was widely publicized by those with ulterior motives.
All the ministers said that this was an interstellar world, and excessive centralization of power would cause the people of the interstellar empire to rebel. With the instigation of certain people, my grandfather became the first emperor, except for the founding emperor, to have a sworn brother.
Because he wanted to set an example and abide by interstellar laws, rather than exploit loopholes in the law and selfishly take in several wives for pleasure and have them bear children for him.
The other husbands of those ladies were just in name only...
This incident caused great damage to the royal reputation, so in order to be fair, Princess Ji Cai's two sons, Wu Xian and Wu Jie, were eligible to participate in the election for the future emperor.
This is also the fundamental reason why my uncle, aunt and my mother were unable to do anything to Ji Cai and her son.
The other two cousins and their three sons have Wu family blood in them."
Qiu Ling nodded thoughtfully.
"Ling Ling, just listen to this. I have no intention of competing for the throne. Not to mention that my uncle can live for another five or six hundred years, even if one of these people becomes the emperor, I have the ability to protect you and will never let you get hurt!" Wu Yan held Qiu Ling's hand, "If anyone embarrasses you later, just confront them. I'll be there for you."
Qiu Ling responded with a smile, "Wu Yan, don't worry, I'm not one to suffer losses. Now that I have the support of our Prince Yan, I will definitely walk sideways!"
Wu Yan kissed the back of her hand and said, "The people in the royal family are very thoughtful. No matter what decision I make, as long as I am alive, before the next generation of emperor is firmly established, we may be involved in the struggle for power.
Lingling, I used to be passionate about defending the country and the people, but now I have become a stumbling block in the eyes of others. If anyone dares to touch you this time, what if I rebel against this imperial city? "
Qiu Ling was stunned. Everyone knew how upright and principled Wu Yan was, yet he actually said that he would rebel against the imperial city for her.
"If I can't even protect my own wife, I have no ability to protect others," Wu Yan chuckled and pinched her cheek, "Those warriors behind me have already served their faith. They shouldn't follow me and become stepping stones on the ladder to heaven!"
Qiu Ling understood what Wu Yan meant. His loyalty or disloyalty depended on how the superior decided. He would not serve a blind person.
"Okay, let's not be fools this time and live a comfortable and pleasant life!" Qiu Ling smiled and nodded, his eyes slightly turned and asked: "After the prince disappeared, there was no follow-up?"
Wu Yan nodded, "No one can find him alive or dead. The five-year-old prince is missing. There is a 90% chance that he was killed by someone.
It is impossible for those people to go to such great lengths to make the prince disappear and spare his life, thus creating obstacles to their own plots many years later."
Qiu Ling rubbed her head. The royal family was not a place for ordinary people to stay. Just by hearing a few secrets, she was confused and overwhelmed.
At this moment, Wu Xiang came over in person to invite Wu Yan and Qiu Ling to the main hall. Shang Qi and Yan Zhao were still waiting in the side hall. The relationship between brothers in the interstellar world was quite delicate, especially since the three of them had three opposing forces behind them.
"Uncle, aunt, mother, I've brought my wife to see you!" Wu Yan held Qiu Ling's hand and smiled as he greeted the emperor who was sitting in a black suit with a red dragon pattern, and the two princesses who were dressed in their best clothes.
Qiu Ling also pursed her lips and shouted again.
"Girl Ling, don't be polite. Just treat this place as your own home. If you need anything, just tell the servants to get it." The emperor smiled and nodded. "Speaking of which, you are the legitimate juniors of our family. You should show the power of the master."
Qiu Ling smiled and nodded, and when he glanced at the emperor, his eyes paused slightly.
The emperor is over 200 years old, in the prime of his life, with handsome features and a friendly smile, but the brilliance in his eyes cannot be hidden. He must be a man with great ambitions and wants to accomplish great things while in power.
Her eyes paused for a moment among the others. There is only one line between people, and it is difficult for children to see each other. Tsk, it seems that the emperor's missing prince is still alive in this world.
When she had accumulated some blessings, she would tell him where the prince was. If she could find the prince, would those evil spirits go back to where they came from?
Shao Shi and Shao Qi pulled Qiu Ling aside to talk, asking her if she was used to the Temple Academy. If she was not used to it, she could transfer to their Royal Academy, and the value of her education after graduation would be very high.
Qiu Ling answered each question with a smile. Her well-behaved and docile appearance made Wu Yan turn his head frequently. This was a little unlike his wife.
The emperor asked Wu Yan about his large-scale collection of materials over the past two days.
Wu Yan smiled and replied: "There is a magic cave discovered on a material star in the central star field. I want to organize my team of contract masters to study it and see if we can refine some spiritual energy and elixirs that can act on the magic energy group.
After discussing, the contract masters gave me a detailed list. Regardless of whether it can be refined or not, I will first prepare these materials. What if it can be done?"
The emperor nodded, "Okay, okay, no matter how advanced our technology is, we have no way to deal with the devil plague. Over the past few thousand years, countless stars have been swallowed up by the devil's energy and fallen.
I'm afraid we can't defend this material planet, so just do your best. Don't be discouraged if you can't develop it. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask your uncle..."
Wu Yan agreed. Before they said a few words, it was time for the banquet.
A group of people walked from the main hall to the garden. Wu Yan held Qiu Ling's hand and first found Shang Qi and Yan Zhao, and then slowly followed the end of the team.
Qiu Ling tapped on his laptop and sent a message to the group: "Brothers, I found something!"
Yan Shijiu: "Guaibao, what is it?"
Tu A: "I always feel that Ling Bao's next words are to intimidate us."
Wu Yan lowered his head and chuckled, saying, "Lingling, we are all waiting for your next words."
"I just checked the emperor's face and found that he has children, but it is difficult to see them. This means that the missing prince is still alive!"
The three men couldn't help but gasp after hearing this sentence. Is this even possible?
Face reading is such an ancient knowledge that has been lost in the interstellar space for a long time. We only know that the ancient ancestors of the Blue Star, who did not have the help of advanced scientific and technological products, were still able to know everything about astronomy and geography. They could calculate with their fingers and there was no problem that could stump them. They were almost like half gods.
