Zongzhenghe's succession ceremony is scheduled for September 9th, and it is said that on that day, far away in light years, a Zhao Xinxing will erupt.

It's a pity that it is too far away, and it will take hundreds of millions of years for the burst of light to reach the sky above the Imperial Capital Star.

On the morning of September 9, Wen Sen arrived at the palace before dawn to make final preparations before the succession ceremony.

"Captain Wen, you came so early." Zong Zhenghe's deputy captain of the guard was a little surprised to see Wen Sen in the palace.

It's only five o'clock at most now, does Wen Sen wake up so early?

"I didn't sleep." Wen Sen's face continued to glow, which was in stark contrast to the haggard deputy captain next to him who had been guarding the entrance and exit all night.

Yesterday afternoon, all the star thieves involved in Elena's kidnapping were finally arrested and brought to justice. After learning the news, Wen Sen asked about the unclaimed Omega.

It has been almost two months since the accident, and the unclaimed corpse was finally taken away.

The people in the office conducted a genetic comparison for her, and no gene matching her was found in the entire empire's gene pool.

The person who came to claim it was Alpha, who was said to be her husband. When he appeared, he was wrapped tightly, but when he was identified, he was a minor nobleman.

The staff guessed that he might feel that the Omega was "stained" by the star thief, so he didn't want to claim it.

As for why I went again two months later, I guess it was... conscience discovery?

Wen Sen's intuition was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he could only be secretly alert.

Wen Sen had never been involved in the defense of the palace, but he already had a defense map of the palace in his mind.

He had thought more than once about what kind of defensive measures he would set up in various parts of the palace to protect Zongzhenghe's safety.

Zongzhenghe had suffered a serious illness when the queen died, perhaps because of excessive grief or delay in treatment, since then his physique has gradually weakened.

It was also at that time that Wen Sen officially became his captain of the guard, responsible for personally protecting Zong Zhenghe's safety.

Wen Sen went to Zongzhenghe's palace after checking all the places in the palace that were easy to make mistakes.

This was Zong Zhenghe's last day in the palace as the prince. From tomorrow—no, from the completion of the succession ceremony, he will become the emperor of the empire and hold the power of the empire.

"Your Highness." Wen Sen entered from the outside, and Zong Zhenghe had just changed into his formal attire.

Zongzheng and his left hand had already put on gloves, but the right hand was almost impossible to handle.

"You're here." Zongzhenghe tore off the half-carrying gloves, "Just come and help me, I can't put them on no matter what."

These were the gloves that went with the dress, reaching the full length of the arm, but fitting snugly.

It was easy to put it on when I tried it on yesterday, but I can't fix it today.

Wen Sen took the white gloves from Zongzhenghe, straightened all the wrinkles first, and then pointed the five fingers at Zongzhenghe's fingers, "Your Highness, you look so handsome today."

The gloves were put on smoothly, Zong Zhenghe moved his fingers, and the fingertips disappeared from the back of Wen Sen's hand.

At nine o'clock, Wen Sen left Zongzhenghe's bedroom, and made the last safety confirmation with the deputy captain.

Zongzhenghe took his first step from the bedroom to the main hall of the palace at [-]:[-], under the witness of all the citizens of the empire.

The succession ceremony has begun.

"Your Highness becomes emperor, and I'm about to be promoted to captain." The deputy captain stood behind the ceremony with Wen Sen, and suddenly turned to Wen Sen and said, "Captain Wen, you grew up with Your Highness, maybe you know better than me. he."

"Of course." In this matter, Wen Sen has always been extremely confident in himself, "Your Highness and I have lived together for 20 years. There is nothing about His Highness that I don't know!"

"Really?" The deputy captain's expression became a little subtle, "Then don't be too shocked if you find something you don't know later."

Wen Sen's vigilant nerves suddenly alarmed him, "What did you do!"

"I didn't do anything, I just don't want to be the next General Zhao Xin." The deputy captain suddenly drew out his weapon and pointed at Wen Sen, "Do you dare to tell me how General Zhao Xin died?"

Zhao Xin's method of death was too bizarre. According to the royal spokesman, he died voluntarily for the old emperor's burial.

But the vice-captain had studied with Zhao Xin, he knew Zhao Xin, and he was definitely not a person who would voluntarily die.

Zhao Xin planned to retire ten years ago, and even used most of his savings to buy a pasture on a remote third-class star.

How could such a person be buried voluntarily?

Under such doubts, the deputy captain made many investigations, and finally found out the real situation from a medical worker.

Then he thought of himself.

Does he have the same thing in his mind as Zhao Xin?

That thing can control his life and death at any time, as long as the person who controls that thing is willing, he may die at any time.

Such thoughts tortured him every moment, making him want to destroy everything.

And his only possible relief is to kill the person who controls this and that thing.

General Zhao Xin's control method is in the hands of the old emperor, and his... is most likely in the hands of Zong Zhenghe.
