The fake daughter-in-law holds the script of Long Aotian

[This chapter is a non-responsible side story, mainly about the palace grudges of the [Passenger] men, and generally has nothing to do with the main text]

July 1108, 7 in the Imperial Calendar, Emperor Star, Red Maple Palace.

It has only been six months since the coronation ceremony of the new emperor Cecilia Romania.

The sister of the late emperor who has been living in exile since she was a child, the last SSS of the Romania family, and the youngest monarch-level superpower in history, codenamed [Blazing Gold Monarch], was once the new empire leader named Shen Mianmian. At first, the emperor's methods were even more cruel and violent.

Within two months after he ascended the throne, the once arrogant Temple of Light was completely eradicated; four months later, a wave of purges took place within the royal family, with many princes and grand dukes disappearing overnight, leaving no trace of their remains.

Everyone in the upper echelons of the empire is in danger, fearing that they will follow in the footsteps of the Temple of Light, which was destroyed by the group.

Fortunately, the new emperor's prosperity has come to an end. A more important undertaking occupies her time and the attention of most people in the empire - she wants to transform into a black dragon for the third time.

"It is said that after the third black dragon transformation is successful, the black dragon blood in her body will be purified to the extreme. At that time, she will return to become a real black dragon, not a descendant of the black dragon."

Red maple palace, luxuriously decorated chess and card room.

There are four men sitting around a card table. In order of clockwise order, they are:

Gu Xingliu and Gu Xingzhe, former religious leaders and current suspects on the run, have similar looks but very different temperaments. The older brother is cold and pure, while the younger brother is gorgeous and charming, just like lotus flowers with parallel stalks and bright calyxes.

Celia, a beauty with white hair and red eyes, has the ultimate appearance, with icy muscles and jade bones. She has lost a lot of weight recently, and her eyes have a sad look, which is endearing.

And Royal Guards Lieutenant General Arundel Romania, who has a big chest, narrow waist, narrow shoulders, wide legs, and a serious and steady temperament. However, under the collar of his military uniform, there are bruises that cannot be concealed.

The four men have different looks and temperaments, and they are very attractive. When they come together, it is really an eye-catching scene.

Unfortunately, the person who can appreciate it the most is not here.

Celia was immersed in memories and didn't listen to what Gu Xingliu just said.

Gu Xingliu didn't expect anyone to answer, but continued enthusiastically:

"In fact, two emperors have tried to challenge the black dragon transformation three times before, but they all ended in failure and death."

"What's worse is that their failure triggered a serious natural disaster, causing so much damage that it was even considered by ordinary people to be a disaster caused by the awakening of the black dragon. It is even said that the first two 'awakenings' of the black dragon were just omens. When the black dragon finally When you wake up three times, it will be the real end.”

"Therefore, people in some remote areas of the empire still swear by 'waiting until the black dragon awakens three times' as the most serious oath."

No one at this table would respond to his words.

The four of them, just because of the existence of a woman, were placed in the palace waiting for summons, and they had a slight intersection. Apart from Shen Mian, they had no common topics. Even when they were playing cards at the same table, they just talked about their own things.

Celia sighed deeply as she fell into memories.

The red leaves outside the window fell to the ground one by one. Autumn was coming soon, and when was the last time he saw her?

He should be content. Compared to the men she abandoned so casually and couldn't even name them, being able to be placed in the palace by her was proof that he had some weight in her heart.

He should be content.

Unbearable helplessness and sorrow hit her heart, and the white-haired beauty whispered:

"The ancient palace is lonely, and the palace flowers are lonely and red."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he thought that the second half of the sentence was not appropriate to say at the critical moment of Shen Mianhei's dragon transformation, and even meant a bit of a curse, so he just sighed softly.

Gu Xingliu was very interested: "The white-headed maid is here, sitting around and talking about Xuanzong."

“Isn’t this a reflection of who we are now?”

"Celia, I didn't expect that you and I once held the power of the Holy See. We were laid off and re-employed, and then we met again in Ah Chen's inner house. We became humble characters waiting for her favor or neglect at a moment's notice. The trajectory of fate is really wonderful."

"I heard that the royal family has already selected a person for her from among the royal family of the right age. What will you do when you are old and yellow?"

Celia's face turned pale and she just said: "I won't go anywhere unless she says she wants to drive me away..."

"But, everyone says that the support and mentorship between you and Ah Chen since childhood is unparalleled." Gu Xingliu said with a knife in his heart, "Why, the one among us who was summoned by Ah Chen recently is still Arundel, how long has it been since you last seen Ah Chen?"

If you don't get the love of women, you won't get the respect of men. Men are just that bitchy.

Celia defended with a sigh of relief: "We have some feelings..."

Gu Xingliu laughed. His movements were very large. Although they did not damage his beauty, they had a hint of madness.

The laughter was harsh, but no one would stop him.

Celia returned to wallowing in his cherished memories and feeling sorry for himself;

Gu Xingzhe is equivalent to being mute;

And Arundel... He still has a deep bruise on his neck. It was because his master was so excited a few days ago that he almost broke his cervical spine, even after staying in the most advanced medical cabin for several days. , it’s hard to speak now.

Therefore, the entire card table is Gu Xingliu's performance venue.

"Actually, looking at us now, we realize that Ah Chen's aesthetics is really unique."

Gu Xingliu tried to drag everyone down.

He pointed at Celia, who was the most trivial to offend, and said:

"Old stuff."

As we all know, messing with Celia means not messing with her, and there will be no consequences at all.

Celia, whose age is indeed a flaw, is devastated.

Gu Xingliu pointed at Arundel again and mocked: "Weak chicken."

Arundel, who was indeed the only SS in the field and the weakest, was forcibly silenced and could only roll his eyes.

Then he pointed to himself: "I'm sick."

Celia finally took the opportunity to fight back: "You are crazy enough."

In the end, Gu Xingliu didn't even let his brother go: "Crippled."

Gu Xingzhe was sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes blank and unable to reach the real point. Nothing in the world seemed to be able to stir up any waves in his heart. He was like a perfect jade sculpture, with only the transparent eyelashes fluttering slightly, giving him some life. Human breath.

The four old, weak, sick and disabled people were silent again.

In fact, silence at the poker table is the norm.

……

Gu Xingliu continued to carry the audience: "I heard someone say that A Shen took the script of the protagonist of Long Aotian's novel. Now that she is on the throne of God, the protagonist has achieved power in the world and is unrivaled, so the novel should also It’s declared over.”

Celia frowned, feeling that his tone was not quite right.

really.

Gu Xingliu’s next sentence was:

"Although the novel is over, the protagonist's life continues. If the protagonist loses the attention of the creator and the protection of the protagonist's halo, what will be her fate?"

Celia didn't have time to rebuke.

Gu Xingliu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you want Ah Chen to become a real black dragon?"

Celia didn't even think about it.

Shen Mian's path to the throne was already full of twists and turns, and the late emperor's death is shrouded in mystery. There are still many rumors that Shen Mian was responsible.

Moreover, Shen Mian's style was too radical after he came to the throne, and he needed an excellent piece of news to appease the people.

So, the news that the new emperor has achieved a great cause that all previous emperors regretted stopping could not be more appropriate.

However, before he could say anything.

Gu Xingliu said seamlessly: "It would be better if she doesn't succeed in transforming into a black dragon."

Celia seemed to have seen a ghost: "Are you crazy?!"

As Shen Mian gets older and more powerful, power and power are changing her. He once felt strange, but now he only feels awe.

Just like the black dragon transformation this time, the preparations were really hasty, and he vaguely felt that it was inappropriate. However, after the death of the late emperor and Shen Mian's accession to the throne, her attitude towards the third black dragon transformation could not even be said to be anxious and urgent. She could only treat it with an almost crazy attitude. Described.

Not to mention blocking him, he didn't even dare to look displeased.

And Gu Xingliu actually dared to say such words openly...

The boy with dark green eyes smiled and added fuel to the fire:

"What's worth purifying in the blood of a black dragon? A black dragon? In the final analysis, isn't it just a toy, a beast? Why do you have to return and become a black dragon?"

Celia and Arundel were both stunned.

Celia wanted to cover her ears.

This is simply alarmist. There are actually people on the land of the empire who would curse and insult the royal bloodline like this. There is really no explanation other than madness.

Be proud of being favored?

It's not like Shen Mian's attitude towards the two Ulrich brothers is indifferent, which is a little better than those second-rate men who can't remember their names...

Why is that?

Just as the atmosphere was undercurrent, bursts of simulated bells passed dully through the pavilions, as if breaking through countless barriers and ringing in everyone's ears.

The flow of supernatural energy throughout the Emperor Star became disorderly and violent in an instant, and then returned to calm the next moment.

It was raining lightly outside the window.

Celia felt a surge of ecstasy in her heart.

This is undoubtedly a sign of the success of black dragon transformation!

Shen Mian will be the first and only one to successfully purify and return to the original bloodline [Ninth Method]!

In the world of superpowers, and even in the world of humans, she will be the most powerful person in history!

However, at this time, Celia heard Gu Xingliu, who was so excited just now, let out a long sigh.

The next second, a mediocre-looking female officer tore open the space and walked to the side of Arundel at the card table, lowering her eyebrows and lowering her eyes:

"Lieutenant General, His Majesty has urgently summoned you. Come with me."

...Is the first person you want to see after success actually Arundel?

Celia unexpectedly felt a sour feeling in her heart.

Arundel's golden pupils shrank slightly, suppressing the body's trembling reaction, and responded in a low voice: "I know."

Watching the two people's backs disappear from sight, Celia realized belatedly: "The temperature has been so high recently. Why is Arundel still wearing autumn military uniforms? Isn't it too hot?"

……

"Lieutenant General, please forgive me for talking too much," the female officer led Arundel in continuous space jumps. "Your duty is to serve His Majesty. If His Majesty cannot enjoy himself to the fullest, it will be your dereliction of duty. Are you right?"

"……Yes."

"To be favored by His Majesty is a good thing that no one can ask for. In order to prevent His Majesty from getting bored, the family has not trained young children. Who makes you... particularly in line with His Majesty's wishes?"

Arundel said nothing.

The female officer didn't take it seriously and continued: "Forget about some small fun. You are not young. You really don't need to make too much noise. You cry and scream and even call for help. With all due respect, it's so pretentious to get rid of Qiao De. It’s a bit much.”

In a blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at the entrance of a certain palace in Lushui Palace.

"It doesn't matter if you don't bring your own identity to the fore, but it won't be good if it affects His Majesty's reputation, right?"

The man in military uniform lowered his eyebrows and responded in a low voice, a little embarrassed.

The female officer turned slightly and made way for Arundel: "I hope you will bring your Majesty a pleasant night, please, Lieutenant General."

……

The interior of the palace was dark, without any light.

On the distant gorgeous throne, a woman was sitting casually, her eyelids slightly closed, as if she was sleeping but not sleeping.

As soon as he entered the palace, countless memories of being on the verge of death suddenly emerged from the depths of the memory that he wanted to forget, and suddenly emerged into Arundel's mind.

He was shaking so much that he could hardly stand. It was an instinctive and uncontrollable tremor.

His body's instinctive reaction told him to flee the palace quickly.

However, the next moment.

The woman's eyes opened, a pair of terrifyingly gorgeous golden vertical pupils, and she looked straight at Arundel without any emotion.

It was like being targeted by some kind of large apex predator. It was so nerve-wracking.

The oppression of the superpower and blood source made Arundel tremble even more, and even looked a little pitiful.

however.

A woman's interesting voice sounded:

"Climb over."

……

The card table in Hongfeng Palace is missing one person.

After a long silence, Celia was about to find an excuse to go back and face the cold night of sleeping alone.

Suddenly, a nimble young boy’s voice sounded:

"64 months."

The voice was so unfamiliar that it took Celia a long time to react.

——The person who spoke was Gu Xingzhe, who had never spoken before and even made him think he was mute.

"……what?"

Gu Xingzhe didn't answer him. The young man's eyes were still so blank, without any focus.

Gu Xingliu's expression remained unmoved when it came to this statement, and he obviously knew what it meant.

"How long do I have to wait?"

After saying this, Gu Xingzhe drove his wheelchair and left the chess and card room as if no one else was around.

Celia felt something was wrong.

"Where are you going?"

The boy with long moon-white hair didn’t even turn his head:

"It's always come and gone."

Just as Celia was about to get up, she was pushed down by Gu Xingliu:

"Don't worry, you still have me, I will always keep an eye on her."

"Until...the end of a distant journey, until the end of the world."

Celia never saw Gu Xingzhe again.

Until a few years later, when Celia was lying on the hospital bed, preparing to face the last moment of her life.

Only then did he react suddenly.

What is the term "64 months"?

The last day they met, the day [Blazing Gold Monarch] Shen Mian successfully transformed into a black dragon three times, was five years and four months before her death at the age of 28.
