After the old Cowen left the palace, he said earnestly to Lei Dotan: "I know you still have some concerns in your heart, but since you have already decided to be loyal to His Majesty, don't waver. When she was the lord of Dark Moon, there were two big families in Dark Moon. The Cypher family, who always followed her, is now in full swing and is the number one family in Dark Moon. The Mellon family who opposed her first surrendered, then vacillated, and finally was suppressed to the end. , and finally disappeared. Now His Majesty is under obvious constraints. In this case, the sooner we stand in line, the better, even if we become hostile to all the elder families. As long as His Majesty can fully control the imperial capital, the status of the Toro family will become stronger and stronger. The more consolidated, the greater the benefits, and vice versa, there is the danger of collapse."
Lei Dotan frowned and said, "Father, do you think His Majesty can completely control the imperial capital? Even Prince Obsidian can't..."
"So, now that Obsidian is dead, His Majesty Shia is still alive, and has been approved by the Sword of the Fallen Angel." Old Cowen said solemnly: "It can be seen from the rise of Dark Moon that although His Majesty is young, But the courage and methods are far from being comparable to Black Yao. I don’t know why, but I have a hunch that maybe His Majesty Xi Ya can really reproduce the glory of Emperor Baiye and make the Fallen Angel Empire the number one power.”
Lei Dotan nodded. His father Cowen has always had a very accurate vision. This was the case when he married Hei Yao back then, and now he has his eyes on the new Empress Shea. He also attended the daytime meeting today. Shea's first proposal met with huge setbacks, but then she quietly transferred several representatives with the highest voices of opposition to the front line to deal with foreign enemies. This was an upright conspiracy.
Today, after allegiance, Xi Ya personally confirmed that during this critical period of time, the power of the imperial capital must be reshuffled. Then, the iron-blooded means and conspiracy are behind Yangmou.
From this point of view, the timing of the Toro family's team selection is quite good. Sending charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake are two different concepts. What's more, the fate of his wife and a pair of children is still in the hands of Her Majesty the Queen. Everyone must vote for Xi Ya.
"Understood, father. From now on, the Toro family will follow His Majesty Xia wholeheartedly. This is a worthwhile gamble." Lei Dotan nodded.
The palace hall.
"The Toro family will be a starting point, and our next plan will be launched quickly." Chen Rui saw that Xi Ya's purple eyes were a little absent-minded, and thinking of her previous emotional changes, his heart moved: "What are you thinking? That little girl girl?"
Xi Ya raised her gaze and looked at the mask, her purple eyes were filled with tenderness: "I was wondering if it would be a good thing to have someone by my side who can feel my heart."
"It would be a pity if you didn't have this person by your side." Chen Rui said cheekily, "Does that little girl remind you of yourself?"
Xia was silent for a moment: "Actually, I once had a younger brother. In order to protect him, my father hid everything after his birth, but he still didn't hide it from anyone who cared. Not long after Alice was born, my mother and younger brother died together. It was an accident. Even Alice didn’t know about this secret, and later my father died of grief and anger because of it.”
Only then did Chen Rui know that there was such a secret past. It turned out that Xi Ya's father, Prince Green, had been using Xi Ya as a cover to conceal and train his son secretly, intending to be the true heir of the Dark Moon Territory and the desire to regain the empire, but he was still discovered. The so-called "accident" should be due to man-made, and the black hand behind it should be Obsidian.
Under the pressure of General George and others, Obsidian could not directly attack Prince Green and Shea, but could only control and suppress it, but the son who was born in secret was different—since you kept it secret, then I will destroy him secretly, so that you can have Unspeakable.
In a sense, Shea, the eldest daughter, is a "victim" to attract the attention of the enemy, so when the old Cowan and Redotan thought of sacrificing the little girl Aya to save the baby boy, Shea had always hidden her emotions It showed strange fluctuations, and more murderous aura was born from this.
"I don't know if I will really kill this pair of children. In fact, I am weaker than I imagined." Xia Ya sighed, "Sometimes, a kind of kindness will only bring more troubles. The emperor must ruthless."
"People have their own bottom line and persistence. Because of this persistence, someone once said that I am 'unbelievably stupid', saying that that kind of boring kindness will only become weaker and weaker, and will never become a real strong person. My answer is , I can become stronger and fearless because of some weaknesses. Not to mention, and I also do this, and I have persisted until today, and I will continue to be so persistent in the future."
Xi Ya's eyes became a little more hazy: "Fearless persistence..."
Chen Rui scratched his head: "I'm talking about myself. As for the emperor... I have heard the sayings of the emperor's art and the emperor's way, but I don't understand it very well. The emperor's art should be a means of control and balance. Manipulate people's hearts, manipulate power, and continuously consolidate imperial power in the process of subordinates fighting with each other. The way of the emperor means that the emperor should judge the situation, make the best use of everything, make the best use of people, have a broad mind, and be inclusive of all rivers. 'Make the impossible possible'."
Shea's eyes sparkled when she heard it. Although she didn't understand some words, she understood the general meaning. It was the first time she heard such a detailed theory about emperors. After thinking for a long time, she said, "What do you mean? , based on the way of the emperor, supplemented by the art of the emperor, don't just focus on the small details and ignore the overall situation? As long as the entire empire becomes strong, the people support it, the army serves its duties, the officials and nobles submit, those small things The elders will naturally be intimidated and dare not act rashly, so the emperor really has the will and supreme authority of the entire empire?"
"I didn't say that... But, you're right." Chen Rui sighed in his heart, this is the truth that "the butt determines the head". Said it was just copying some theories in memory, but in the ears of Xi Ya, the real emperor, it could be derived from his own personal experience and understanding.
"The Grandmaster shouldn't be an emperor, right?" Xi Ya showed a gentle smile on her face, the beauty of the thawing iceberg made people's eyes shine, "I'm a little suspicious of you now."
Chen Rui replied with a serious face: "Actually, I am a traveler from the 'Earth World'. What I tell you is the knowledge I obtained in another world. This secret has been hidden in my heart for a long time. It’s much easier to say it now.”
Xia had a strange expression: "Is the earth another name for the surface world? Or should I call you His Majesty Arthur or Your Majesty?"
Chen Rui shrugged: "It's not Arthur, it's Chen Rui. Chen Rui's Chen, Chen Rui's Rui. In addition, it's enough to call you Your Highness, His Royal Highness."
"Then, Your Highness." Shea said with a smile: "Can you answer me a question? Who said you were 'unbelievably stupid' and asked you to answer like that? Is it a beautiful lady? I know it? Or... don't know?"
A drop of sweat fell from Chen Rui's face behind the mask. A woman's intuition is sometimes more terrifying than wisdom.
"I want to know too." Another voice rang out in the hall, and Chen Rui even started sweating on his back. A certain pseudo-natural lady whom he had found had been keeping invisible after sending out magic power to frighten Old Cowen. Silence, upon hearing this topic, immediately joined in with great interest.
Shia nodded thoughtfully: "So... Laura and I can be excluded?"
"That kind of tone probably doesn't sound like Athena and Ji Ya." Beside Shia, Laura's beautiful figure gradually became clear. Although the Fairy Miss Long and Her Majesty the new Empress had little contact in Dark Moon, their relationship was average. When encountering a situation that may be related to the "foreign enemy", a feeling of common hatred and hatred arises invariably.
The fairy lady Long added: "I remember Athena said that there was a foolish man who had a woman in the Shadow Empire a long time ago."
Chen Rui burst into tears, can your memory get any worse
Shia showed doubts: "Shadow Empire? This is an interesting new news. Isn't it some big figure from Shadow Empire?"
Chen Rui broke out in a cold sweat, feeling the scrutiny of the four eyes, he really wanted to imitate the fairy Miss Long and say: "What?"
"I will tell you the truth after this incident." Chen Rui immediately shifted his target: "What is needed now is to buy time. Laura, you protect Xiya, I will go back to Dark Moon immediately and bring a group of people over."
"Huh!" Laura answered him with a snout.
Shia nodded and said, "Lola, we need to communicate more, and see how many secrets this guy is hiding, especially about some women we don't know. For example, I heard a song "The End of the World" ", have you heard the song?"
"'The End of the World'?" Laura glanced unkindly at someone who was already Waterfall Khan, and shook her head: "I haven't heard of it. I have heard of a top-level magic called 'Doomsday Judgment'."
Miss Long, the fairy, deliberately emphasized the word "judgment", and Waterfall Khan immediately evolved into Genghis Khan.
"Let's go, find a more pleasing place to talk." Xi Ya ignored Genghis Khan, took Luo La's hand, and walked inside.
Chen Rui stared dumbfounded at the two women walking away arm in arm. His first reaction was that he was in a cocoon. His Majesty Xi Ya used the emperor's art he just learned on the battlefield of his harem.
The Crystal Palace in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be peaceful, and the male pig's feet must always prepare for the worst of blood sacrifices.
This palace is too dangerous, let's go back to... Dark Moon.
Shia is too weak in the imperial capital now, and even the guards are temporarily arranged by General George, and some of the guards must be mobilized; now the intelligence agency of the imperial capital also urgently needs someone from Dark Moon to master, and Isabella is the most suitable candidate; Also, Skye and Tetnis had promised to come to help, and they should leave as soon as possible, but Lola's Rainbow Valley space teleportation is not unlimited, and the number of people passing through at one time cannot be too many.
If Catherine is not overheated, the Shadow Empire will definitely send new envoys to negotiate peace as soon as possible. There will definitely be demands, but it will never be as outrageous as Lilith and Teldira proposed. Once the war ceases, Baroque and other people who go out to support will return to the imperial capital. So Xi Ya doesn't have much time left, and the process must be accelerated.
