Crown Prince's Wedding Banquet

During the low-key period, the bodyguard team no longer traveled with the crown prince and his wife. Dubin drove the shuttle to send the two of them to the designer store of lsd.

When the crown prince's shuttle arrived at lsd in a low-key way, there was already a special person waiting for him at the door.

"Du Bin, wait outside, Lan and I will go in and have a look." Zhou Qin made it clear that he didn't want anyone to disturb the hard-won two-person world.

"Understood, Your Highness."

Du Bin was dressed in a black suit and stood at the door, looking particularly imposing.

"Boss, aren't you and Your Highness still arguing when you go out in the morning?" He couldn't help asking in a low voice when Elias passed by him.

"reconciled."

"Reconciled?" Dubin couldn't believe it, "I don't think his temper can be easily overcome with a few words, so you didn't do anything... Uh... Okay, okay forget it."

He wisely keeps his mouth shut before Elis kills him with his eyes.

After Elis entered the store, Zhou Qin had already looked at the display counters made of crystal glass one by one.

"Xia Lan, come and see this, do you like it?" Zhou Qin greeted him, and the alert store manager had already taken out the emerald brooch that Zhou Qin caught his eye.

"Your Highness has good eyesight." The manager said, "This brooch is inlaid with 200 carats of F-grade diamonds and above. The most precious thing is the emerald in the middle, which weighs 89 carats. One is that its internal cracks are almost invisible. , is the highest level, and you can see that its cut is different from the emerald cut we usually use. This is a new cut that highlights the warmth and emerald green of the emerald.”

"Does it look good?"

"It's nice, but it doesn't suit me," said Elise. "It's too heavy and inconvenient to wear."

Zhou Qin put the brooch in the velvet box and didn't say no. The manager quickly said, "We also have a matching emerald watch and ring. It's just right for Xia Lan to wear on formal occasions."

Zhou Qin nodded, and then said to Elise: "There is no unsuitable jewelry here. Only jewelry that is not suitable for you. This set of jewelry looks really good on you, but if you don't like it, then forget it. "

"If there is any jewelry that Lanxia particularly likes, please feel free to point it out, lsd will definitely satisfy you." As expected of a jewelry store manager who has seen many troubles, his words are very decent.

"Then let's look at the ring," said Elis.

The manager led them into the hall, except for the ring styles submitted to the inner court before, lsd can be said to have come up with nearly ten times the design proposals and displayed them in front of the crown prince and his wife.

Luxurious, bright, atmospheric... Dazzling.

I have been looking at it for a long time, but Elis did not say yes, until the end, when the lsd store manager felt that he might not be able to find a satisfactory style again, Elis said.

"Wait a minute, how about...this."

The manager cheered up and looked over quickly, but what appeared on the screen were two ordinary platinum rings.

"This..." The manager licked his lips, looked at Crown Princess Concubine Lan, made sure that the other party was not joking, and asked cautiously, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. There has never been a royal wedding with such a simple ring... ..." He tried to struggle again, "Should I add a ring of broken diamonds? Use the kind of broken diamonds from the Thorson Islands...more expensive than the emeralds you just saw. Generally speaking, marriage At that time, the royal diamonds would use the out-of-print diamonds from the Thorson Islands, which had almost no mineral stocks."

Elis thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, although diamonds have higher hardness in some special cases, the usage scenarios are too limited, and it will reduce the durability of the ring. If it is in a fierce war, it may cause the ring Squeezed, deformed, broken..."

The poor manager looked at him blankly.

"Okay." Zhou Qin couldn't help laughing, "Manager, he was joking."

joke?The manager is desperate, it's not like driving

It's a joke. The key.

Zhou Qin chose a quaint ring cut from Tangbaoshan, with diamonds of different sizes inlaid around it, and a huge sapphire in the middle. At first glance, it looks similar to the power ring on his finger, only one size smaller.

"Use this at the wedding." Zhou Qin said, ""

"Okay, okay." The manager said hastily, "We will make good arrangements."

"Also..." He was riding on Elis without paying attention, and said to the manager before leaving LSD, "Wrap up the pair of plain rings and the emerald set for me too, and deliver them to my house later."

The Lookout restaurant has not changed from when the two first came two and a half months ago.

The seat with a very good view was reserved for them after Ren Xingyu called to make an appointment, and the seat where the two of them sat did not even change from before.

But the state of mind is quite different.

Elise still remembers the last time when Zhou Qin was sitting here, holding champagne and telling him about his life experience... At that time, he was too busy to take care of himself, and he had never felt how sad Zhou Qin's story was.

"What happened next?" Elis asked suddenly.

"What later?"

"What happened after you went to the Night Mountain Galaxy?" Elis asked, "You were only 12 years old at that time, weren't you?"

Zhou Qin was quiet for a while, seeming to recall those details: "I'm not sure, I'm too young... After my father's accident, the inner court escorted me to Yeshan. There was no reason, and no one told me what happened. My father was killed One night after the emperor picked me up, Dachun came with someone. He asked me to simply pack up some of my clothes, and then sent me to the spaceship to Yeshan. It was too hasty... I didn’t bring anything from my father. There was only one of his coats, the one that was left on the deck chair, and I brought it to Yeshan."

Those deliberately forgotten things in memory slowly surfaced in front of my eyes.

"Steward Wu received and took me in." Zhou Qin said, "Thanks to his company, I was able to grow up healthily."

"It's a very coincidental chance. I heard that my father's body is still in the inner court of the emperor's star... Only the emperor can see it."

"You mean, your father's remains, the empress's remains, and the emperor's harem?" Elis asked.

"Yes." Zhou Qin said, "In fact, even Marshal Yang Haoyu has not finally seen my father's body... No one has seen it. The possibility of his body being in the inner court is very high."

"You came back to Emperor Star for this, and you want to be emperor for this?" Elis asked.

"After I arrived in the Yeshan galaxy, for a long, long time, I refused to speak to anyone other than Steward Wu. The strange and harsh living environment, the customs and customs completely different from Emperor Star, made me afraid to talk to people other than Steward Wu. Fear. That coat that belonged to my father. It smelled of him. If I couldn't sleep, I would smell it. Until it was rotten. This last relic will leave me. I put it in a sterile vacuum box for safekeeping...it is still in the palace of King Ye Shan."

Zhou Qin calmly narrated everything he had experienced.

"If you ask me how to describe my life in the first 12 years of my life. There are only four words, carefree. But in the next 15 years, I gave everything for the carefree I used to be. I have no father …At the same time, I also lost my mother who loved me. All the people who took care of me in the palm of my hand are far away from me. The youngest son of the emperor was locked in a cage named Yeshan by the emperor... The feeling of falling from the clouds, Elis, I am afraid there is no one in this world who can understand me like you."

Elise's lips moved slightly.

He wanted to say something...and didn't know what to say.

Any comfort pales in the face of these sufferings.

Zhou Qin smiled and motioned him not to say anything.

"It would have been nice if the happy times hadn't happened, then I wouldn't feel how hard the days of loneliness are." Zhou Qin said, "I thought about it so naively when I was young. It didn't happen later... The long journey from Yeshan

Galactic Winter gave me a lot of time to figure out the root of the problem and it taught me how to hate someone. "

Zhou Qin was quiet for a long time, subconsciously twirling the goblet on the table, finally he raised his dark eyes and looked at Elis: "I hate the emperor."

Elise gasped for breath.

"I hate her cruelty, her heartlessness, and her self-willedness! I hate the empire that made her what she is now." Zhou Qin said, "She and this decadent monarchy have made this country degenerate. , and let hundreds of millions of people live in pain like you and me. That's why I am determined to replace it, no matter what the price is."

His voice was so calm, as if the words had been carefully thought out and imprinted in his mind.

"You remind me...of a man," Elise said. "He said something similar when we were teenagers."

"Who?"

"Your brother." Elis said, "Your second brother, Zhou Run. Later he failed..."

"I don't know if the royal blood is cursed." Zhou Qin sighed, "We don't want to inherit the empire, but we all want to seek power and usurp the throne."

"But I'm not him." Zhou Qin said, "I've analyzed his failures a long time ago. He was too impulsive, and he was too young at that time. I must be the one who took the throne."

Zhou Qin's face was somewhat similar to that person's before, and Elias felt that the two scenes overlapped in a daze.

When it rained after the rain, that person led him to climb onto the shoulders of the mecha, and the teenagers stood on the mecha, looking at it from a height.

"Ellis! Adams!" The boy said shocking words while still being childish, "One day I will become the emperor of the empire, and at that time I will abolish this decadent centralized monarchy! Let the people of the empire be like the citizens of the federation. People are equal!"

"I will follow you." Elis said to Zhou Qin, as if he had made a promise, "until you ascend the throne."

The melody of the first waltz sounded, and the familiar melody reminded them of the opening dance at Prince Qing's banquet.

Zhou Qin put down the knife and fork and stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Xia Lan, would you like to dance with me?"

Elise put her hand in his palm.

The two walked off the dance floor, and everyone on the dance floor made way for them.

Zhou Qin walked steadily, as if the throne was right in front of him.

After entering the dance floor, they clasped their fingers together and started this solemn and romantic dance music.

When he turned around, the ends of Yilaisi's hair swayed in front of Zhou Qin's eyes, and his unique scent of camellia was in his nose... something filled Zhou Qin's heart.

He didn't wait for the end of the dance music, and embraced Lan Xia fiercely in his arms in full view of everyone.

"Your Highness?" Elis struggled and whispered, "Everyone is watching you."

"Iles..." Zhou Qin whispered, "I love you."

The person in his arms froze.

Zhou Qin's emotions have already overturned the dam called restraint that he had built for himself. Emotions surged up like a tide, destroying all his reason and sobriety. At this moment, he said All his thoughts.

"I love you. More than my life... more than anything," he whispered.

He thought he couldn't get a response - that's okay, he didn't expect the major general to fall in love with him, the crown prince with the emperor's blood, in such a short period of time.

He just wanted to say, just wanted to say it in this moment, to tell him...

At this moment, the body of the lover he embraced softened, slowly raised his hands, and hugged him.

On the upper floor of the Overlook restaurant, there are a small number of more than a dozen suites, which are intimately prepared for couples to rest.

They kissed passionately in front of the French windows.

The Milky Way is just above their heads.

The sky seemed to be their witness.

Elis gasped in a low voice amid the confusion of light and shadow, and then he felt his hand being held.

Zhou Qin knelt down in front of him on one knee... Elis took a hurried step back, and he hit the floor-to-ceiling glass behind him, making a loud noise.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Elis didn't care about her own pain, and hurriedly pulled Zhou Qin up.

Then his voice disappeared in Zhou Qin's next movement.

Zhou Qin took out the pair of plain rings from his pocket.

"I don't seem to... have proposed to Lan Xia yet." Zhou Qin said.

"...Your Highness?"

"I know that to you, none of this is necessary." Zhou Qindao, "...but it does make sense. To us...it makes sense."

He took out one of the rings and put it on Elias' left ring finger.

The size of the ring was exactly the same as Arashita's.

"Sorry, I won't give Lan the right to refuse." Zhou Qin said, "Marry me, Elise."

The cold touch only existed for a brief moment, and then the ring became the same as body temperature.

Elias looked at the ring on his ring finger... He also thought that one day he would become someone's husband and wear such a ring to declare his marriage.

But by no means like now.

It's just that for now... it doesn't seem so bad.

He picked up the other plain ring in Zhou Qin's hand, knelt down on one knee, at eye level with Zhou Qin, then lowered his head and put on the plain ring for Zhou Qin as well.

Then he raised his head and said to Zhou Qin——

"Let's make love, Your Highness."

At the same time, Ren Xingyu had just finished finishing work all day and was about to turn off the computer.

Then he received an email from the information processing department in his mailbox. Ren Xingyu opened it and saw that there were two photos - one was a photo of Zhu Shao from the underground fighting arena.Another one...

His expression became serious, and he forwarded the letter directly to Du Bin, and then Ren Xingyu dialed Du Bin's communicator.

"Dubin, are you busy there?" Ren Xingyu asked him.

Du Bin stood in the upper corridor of the observation restaurant, looked at the closed door of the room behind him, then walked a little further and said, "His Royal Highness and His Majesty Lan are busy...I am not busy."

"Look at the email I sent you."

"Okay, let me take a look." Du Bin opened it, and cursed: "Damn! I think there is something wrong with that buddy in the fighting arena. This Zhu Shao's information does not stand up to scrutiny at all. His so-called hometown is not at all. Fucking non-existence, who the hell is he."

"You turn backwards." Ren Xingyu said.

Dubin turned a page back, and at the back was a man in a federal military uniform—although he was relatively young, anyone could tell that this federal soldier was Zhu Shao.

"Is he a spy?!" Dupin asked. "A federal spy?!"

"The military under the Federal Secret Service Headquarters, the specific position is not clear, the rank is at least a lieutenant colonel." Ren Xingyu said, "According to your description, the mecha he drives is equipped with space technology equipment that does not exist in the Empire, right? If he is a federal person, That's not surprising."

"Then quickly issue a wanted warrant. The level is set at the highest level. What's the point? Wait for someone to run away?" Du Bin said anxiously.

"A warrant has been issued." Ren Xingyu sighed on the communicator, "It's just that it has been nearly fifteen hours since he last appeared, and the possibility of catching him in Emperor Star is very slim."

Emperor Star, Xiating District, Interstellar Port.

On a commercial spacecraft that just left the port.

"Colonel." The owner of the merchant ship knocked on the door and entered a narrow single cabin, where Zhu Shao was lying on the bed and smoking.

"We just received news that Emperor Star has officially issued a warrant for your arrest," said the owner of the merchant ship.

Zhu Shao sat up, smiled and said to him: "It seems that we are lucky?"

"Yeah, I almost couldn't leave." The owner of the merchant ship sat down next to him, "We will probably complete the supplies on the eighth planet, and then jump to the Tapa galaxy, where our own people will pick you up .”

Zhu Shao nodded and stubbed out the cigarette. He took out a small storage container from his side and handed it to the owner of the merchant ship.

"While our communication with the Emperor Star has not been interrupted, let 'over there' send the information I collected on the Emperor Star back to the Federation." Zhu Shao paused and said, "Another message to the President and Mr. Yuntu , Just say what I said, the person I was looking for..."

Zhu Shao paused.

He remembered the moment when he was fighting Ling Yue.

There was a peak of spiritual power on the monitor of Fuya, and he looked back... Outside the fighting arena, there was a spatial fluctuation around a young black-haired man-it was a harbinger of the embodiment of spiritual power.

"Let's just say... the person Yuntu asked me to look for has been found." Zhu Shao said.
