In the magnificent imperial palace.
The middle-aged man with blond hair and graying temples, wearing gorgeous clothes, looked at the handsome but pale alpha on the bed. His dark blue eyes could not tell his emotions. Because of his silence, the atmosphere around him was very depressing, and the suffocating pressure spread throughout the palace.
After a long time, he finally opened his mouth slowly, his voice was noble and mellow.
"How is Xinglin doing today?"
The leading doctor immediately came forward to report.
"Your Majesty, the injury His Highness sustained this time is indeed quite serious, but judging from his mental state, he is likely to wake up at any time, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Your Highness is in very good physical condition. You can rest assured that he will wake up soon."
After hearing the answers from several doctors that were obviously intended to calm him, the current emperor of the empire, Chu Shengyun, nodded slightly and waved his hand with a huge sapphire ring.
The doctors looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately understood what was meant and withdrew.
After everyone had left, the palace steward Bowie came up.
"Your Majesty, that's what the doctors all said. Your Highness will be fine."
"Bow Wei, you've been with me the longest, you should know what I'm angry about." Chu Shengyun pinched his eyebrows slightly.
Bowie, who was wearing a butler's uniform, nodded respectfully and then said.
"His Highness's attitude towards you is not new in the past two years."
"How can you ask a child who is not your friend to tell you all his plans?"
Because of decades of master-servant relationship, Bowie was able to communicate with this stubborn and overbearing emperor with ease, and his tone seemed intimate and appropriate.
But Chu Shengyun still raised his voice.
"But he is my only child!"
“… … .”
"He's just become too powerful." Chu Shengyun snorted coldly.
"He had clearly returned a long time ago, but he had been hiding it from me. If he hadn't happened and was lying here unable to move or hide, how long would he have kept me worried about him?"
Bowie said nothing.
Wait quietly for the emperor to get angry.
"I just summoned Gu Zehai to the palace. He obviously knew about it. Fine, he kept it all hidden from me."
"He just wants me to look for him everywhere, to make me think that he is dead and I have no descendants. Does that count as revenge?" Chu Shengyun's voice became colder and colder as he suppressed his anger.
Bao Wei smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty, His Highness and you are father and son, how could there be any hatred between us?"
"You know whether he has a grudge against me or not." Chu Shengyun said self-deprecatingly.
Bowie's mind is indeed as clear as a mirror.
It is indeed true that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty have a grudge against each other.
But the hatred between father and son is more like resentment than hatred.
Your Highness has been estranged from Your Majesty for many years, and this matter is related to Your Highness's mother and father.
Your Highness's mother and father are both outstanding omegas. They were senior researchers at the Imperial Research Institute. Although they were omegas, they disguised themselves as betas. They have been active in the institute and are highly respected by everyone. Until His Majesty, who was the crown prince at the time, appeared, marked him, and brought him back to the palace, everything changed.
The former favored son of heaven became depressed and suddenly committed suicide in the palace one day.
The prince has always remembered this incident, blaming Your Majesty for restricting his mother and father, and for not caring enough about his mother and father, which led to such a tragedy. He has always deeply resented Your Majesty.
Even though Your Majesty has been trying to make amends for the past decade, it has not been able to save the current situation of the estrangement between father and son.
"Calm down."
"You also know that some knots in your heart cannot be untied in a day or two."
Chu Shengyun nodded silently, waved his sleeves lightly and turned his back.
"How else can I solve it?"
"I have made all the concessions I can make, and he should give people some peace of mind."
"That's just a concession in your eyes." Bowie pointed out the problem. "As long as you don't give in, he will definitely go against you. Just like you advised him to find a gentle princess, he simply stopped contacting OEMGA."
"I don't believe that he will look down on an omega all his life and bring me an alpha!"
This is another sign of competition.
Bowie has become accustomed to the Emperor's unwillingness to bow and his stubbornness, and the Crown Prince's vengeance and stubbornness.
Even though the two of them are at odds, His Majesty is indeed helping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Although it is unclear why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not return to the capital planet, His Majesty still covered up some of the things His Royal Highness had done before.
For example, the mecha that His Highness brought back this time was not the privately customized mecha that he used to fight pirates, but a training machine of Gu Huan’s army. For another example, when His Highness was found, he was still wearing the uniform of an imperial soldier.
If His Majesty had not promptly blocked the news for His Highness, with these obvious evidences, everyone would have guessed that His Highness was the Brigadier General Chu Lin that everyone had seen in the recent military exercise live broadcast.
It wouldn't be like it is now, where we only know the story of how the missing Crown Prince happened to meet General Gu Huan and happened to save the general.
After being interrupted by Bao Wei's words, Chu Shengyun's mood was indeed not as bad as before. He turned his head slightly and suddenly asked Bao Wei, the general manager.
"How is Gu Huan? I heard that he woke up, didn't he?"
"Admiral Gu Huan is currently undergoing rehabilitation. I heard that he is working very hard and is very concerned about your highness's condition."
"To be honest, as a prince... it is very rare to have such a sincere friendship."
Chu Shengyun knew clearly that Bao Wei must have listened to someone and asked him to say something good about Gu Huan, so that he would not be angry with Gu Huan because of the prince's illness. Who else could that person be? It must be Gu Zehai, whom he met this morning.
Although Chu Shengyun knew that Bao Wei had selfish motives, he did not expose him because he had never intended to make things difficult for Gu Huan.
Gu Huan is the successor of Marshal Gu and the right-hand man cultivated by Marshal Gu for his son. His son obviously values him very much.
As long as Gu Huan is loyal and capable enough, it will be worth saving him no matter what.
That is, what Bowie said about friendship touched the most painful part of his heart, causing him to fall silent for a moment.
"You're right, friendship like this is rare."
"In this regard, I envy Xing Lin."
Bowie saw the emperor's expression.
I knew that he must be thinking of the deceased queen.
I dare not mention this matter again.
Why.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
Gu Huan does care about Chu Xinglin.
Because he didn't understand why the other person appeared there and why he wanted to save him.
There is a reason why it happens to be there.
Chu Lin stayed in ha654 for so long, the fleet of the Prince's Special Guard must have been on standby in that star field. The missing prince might have gone there just to find them, or he might have been hiding there for a long time.
But when I meet myself, why should I save myself
Although the image of the prince in the original novel is very glorious, Gu Huan still couldn't think of any reason for him to save himself. After all, he and the prince had a grudge of not saving each other in danger.
Gu Huan originally wanted to look for clues through the on-site records when he and the prince were rescued, but he soon discovered that in this accident, he could not find any records other than oral accounts.
Even if there is, it is confidential information with the highest authority setting that he cannot open.
Gu Huan couldn't find the reason from the situation at that time, nor could he ask a comatose person why he should be saved, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being and focus on the most urgent matter at the moment. --Rehabilitation.
During the entire process of crossing the wormhole and crashing, he did not suffer any new injuries because of the protection of the energy shield. However, in the process of leaving the flying car and being rescued, the injuries he suffered were enough to make him suffer a lot.
He had multiple compression fractures all over his body, making it difficult for him to even stand. This was when his physical fitness was at S level. If he was still an ordinary person in his first life, he would have died long ago, and it would have been too late to save him.
Energy laser treatment room.
The machine's light scanned Gu Huan's body three times. The subtle electric current stimulated the growth of muscles. The huge medical robot gave Gu Huan a full-body muscle "spa" and then re-evaluated Gu Huan's physical fitness.
Fortunately, after several tests, the value did not regress. Although the admiral's injury this time could be considered as being broken into pieces and reassembled.
The doctor in charge of Gu Huan looked at the test report in the machine and said gently, "General, you have recovered very well. You should be able to move around normally soon."
After Gu Huan stretched his wrist, he looked at the person who spoke and responded softly.
"Thank you, doctor."
The doctor in charge of him was named Wen Shiyan.
Although he has been treated for more than a week, Gu Huan still doesn't know his gender because he sprays pheromone blockers every day.
Gu Huan didn't have such a strong curiosity, so he didn't explore further.
The black-haired admiral supported himself on the bed with his wrists and pursed his lips. He felt the powerlessness of his legs wanting to stand up but being unable to do so. He reached out to stop Wen Shiyan who wanted to support him and tried to stand up on his own.
Keeping his balance with his hands, the moment he took the first step, a faint smile appeared on the admiral's face.
But when he took another step, something dangerous happened.
The slender legs that had not yet recovered trembled, and because they could not maintain their center of gravity, they fell forward suddenly.
"General! Be careful."
The doctor suddenly exclaimed and reached out to grab the person.
From the moment he was grabbed from behind to the moment he was about to be hugged by inertia, Gu Huan subconsciously raised his arm to block the person away.
After staggering to his feet, he realized that he was still pushing others away. Gu Huan explained with a blank expression, a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I don't really like being touched."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Wen Shiyan's eyes, and then he waved his hand good-naturedly, "It's okay." He pushed the wheelchair over.
"Aren't you going out today? If you can't leave yet, just sit here."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Huan felt complicated when he saw this interstellar energy wheelchair that was controlled by mental power but still looked exactly like the ancient Earth wheelchair.
Because he had been in a wheelchair for almost half of his life in his first life, he was somewhat reluctant to sit in a wheelchair again.
But there is no way, he can't walk normally now and can only rely on this.
Because he was going to meet someone.
After making plans to survive in this world, he had several problems that he had to solve.
The first problem was to figure out who had tampered with his speeder.
The second problem was how to regain the prince's trust, or at least make him believe that he had changed for the better and would work for him in the future.
The prince hasn't woken up yet, so this is a good opportunity for him to do something to gain trust.
The third problem is that he needs someone to provide him with markings to combat estrus and mental problems.
Even though it sounds a bit shabby.
But if Chu Lin is willing.
If he wanted to ask for his help, he would tell him seriously that although he didn't have that kind of emotion for him now, he was willing to try with him as long as he could provide him with a temporary mark. Even if he couldn't treat him as his own, he would never find anyone else to fall in love with while being marked.
Gu Huan originally wanted to wait for Chu Lin to show up, so he asked him directly if this was possible.
But Chu Lin never showed up, as if he had disappeared from the world.
And he didn't have Chu Lin's optical network account... ... and couldn't contact Chu Lin himself.
So Gu Huan could only take the initiative to find other ways to find Chu Lin himself.
The doctors were unaware of the device on his heart, so they checked it while he was unconscious. He thought something would happen, but in fact nothing happened. The device was not a life-threatening device at all, but just a device to detect his mental strength.
You can easily guess who the data left by this device is most likely to be transmitted to.
It is obvious that Shanghe is also the prince's man.
He is going to meet Shang He today, mainly to ask him where Chu Lin is.
