Driving a hovercraft and wearing a neat military uniform, Gu Zehai took out a tin box of cigarettes from his pocket, took the lighter from his adjutant, and lit the cigarette in his hand with familiar movements.
The sharp eyes in his youth now appear much gentler due to the increase of wrinkles around them, but when he looks fierce, one can still see the murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
Through the smoke, the old man looked towards the direction of the palace, waiting for his grandson there to give him an order.
He is old.
It is precisely because he is old that he can be less scrupulous. No matter if he is an old marshal admired by everyone, or an old traitor who will be infamous for eternity, he will be the same after he is buried.
The decision he regretted most was marrying Gu Nan to Chu Shengyun.
Now that he could finally teach that bastard a lesson, he was so happy that he couldn't contain himself.
Perhaps he had been waiting for this day, so even if he didn't want to see Chu Shengyun's face anymore, he did not give up the power in his hands and stayed in the capital star.
Wait for Chu Shengyun to die of natural causes.
Or when Chu Xinglin has made up his mind and wants to overthrow Chu Sheng’s rule, he will come to help.
This is the only compensation I can give to my children as a father and a grandfather.
"Old Marshal."
The elderly adjutant beside Gu Zehai looked in the direction of the imperial palace and asked nervously.
"Why hasn't the prince come out yet?"
Gu Zehai shook out his cigarette butt, his face calm.
"Don't worry, he's old enough now and knows how to solve the problem better."
The adjutant suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and worried in his heart.
He was just worried about what would happen if Prince Chu Xinglin acted impulsively and killed his father.
"He's not a fool, nor is he a heartless person. He can't do what you imagine."
Gu Zehai sighed.
"Have all the people in the palace been controlled?"
"yes."
Gu Zehai nodded and continued to wait.
The hand that was not holding the cigarette smoothed back the white and even translucent hair, and smiled kindly.
"Then wait a little longer."
There are some things that his grandson cannot do, but he can do them.
Some people stop waiting for him to do it himself. That will do absolutely no good.
... ... ... ... ... ... .
I heard that Gu Zehai was also outside.
The emperor immediately showed a fearful expression.
Being able to sit in the position of marshal, Gu Zehai is certainly not a pushover, but he has been in a high position of power for a long time, and he has also grown old, so he has become less aggressive.
He remembers that when he wanted to marry Gu Nan, Gu Zehai beat him up and lost half his life.
Gu Zehai is the person Chu Shengyun fears the most in the entire galaxy and the entire empire, no doubt about it.
The moment he saw that none of the guards around him came out to protect him, he knew he had no chance.
Unexpectedly, even Powell was turned against the government.
Chu Shengyun lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
"I kneel."
Chu Shengyun agreed to Chu Xinglin's request, which only allowed him to keep his throne, but not his rights. Gu Zehai's army directly replaced all the guards in the palace.
Because Gu Zehai and Chu Xinglin both knew it clearly.
Once they do something like this, there's no going back.
Because of the heavy military threat, from that day on, the emperor announced to the public that he was seriously ill and the crown prince was appointed as regent.
It was a day later that Gu Huan learned the news.
Sitting in the office of Jialin Military Region, looking at the recent political reports, Gu Huan fell into a long silence.
No wonder Chu Xinglin looked so worried when he left that day.
It turned out that he had already planned to take action.
Something terrible must have happened in the palace.
Otherwise, Chu Shengyun wouldn’t have fallen ill so suddenly.
Perhaps the emperor left Chu Shengyun on the throne in order to appease the people. Now there are so many external threats, it would be bad if changing the emperor caused internal unrest.
Gu Huan frowned slightly.
Chu Xinglin had already thought about what to do, so why didn’t you tell him before doing it
He had clearly said that if things came to this, he would do his best to help him.
Gu Huan put down the pen he was writing with, walked to the outskirts of the bird's nest-like office, folded his arms, looked up at the clouds that were within reach, and was lost in thought.
Maybe it’s because Chu Xinglin no longer trusts him as much as before
Even if Chu Xinglin didn't believe him again, he could understand.
Even he himself doesn't understand what role he plays in this story.
With his head resting on the glass of the Bird's Nest, the black-haired admiral withdrew his gaze from the clouds to the green plants surrounding the office and sighed softly.
The light brain suddenly flashed.
Gu Huan paused for a moment, then raised his hand to open the computer interface.
An information flow box exuding the temperament of a wealthy man appeared in the air.
It was a communication record. The data stream stabilized for a while and finally appeared.
The above records everything that Chu Shengyun confessed.
Including the fact that because the experimental subjects in the laboratory were destroyed, he was furious and locked the queen into the palace to ask her to stop interfering in the experiments.
This also includes what Chu Shengyun continued to do after the queen was imprisoned in the palace.
The initial experimental subject was destroyed, but the data obtained from his research is still there.
After the failure of the first experiment, he decisively formed a second experimental team.
This experimental team was led by Nie Cen alone, who created a new experimental subject based on previous experience.
Gu Huan murmured.
"Nie Chuan."
He must be the new experimental subject.
And I am the... destroyed first generation of artificial humans.
Chu Xinglin's holographic projection appeared above the light screen of the optical computer.
Looking at the face he hadn't seen for just two days, Gu Huan asked with his thin lips slightly opened.
"How did Nie Chuan's parents die?"
Was it really just an accident
"It wasn't Chu Shengyun who did it."
"Although he knew where Nie Cen and the beta lived in seclusion, he did not pay attention to their lives."
"You can trust him on this point. He is very good to my mother and father's friends."
If they really wanted to kill them, they should have killed them when the lab was closed. How could they have been allowed to live outside for so many years
Gu Huan still frowned deeply and continued to listen to Chu Xinglin.
"Back then, he found a golden crystal in the cemetery of Nie Cen's family."
"I didn't know what it was at the time, but now I know it's Mingjing."
A Mingjing appears.
The person who killed Nie Cen's mother and father could only be someone who could control the Zerg.
Because the Emperor's experiment did not involve the use of Ming Crystals to control the Zerg, the person who used Ming Crystals to kill people and silence them was the Duke.
Nie Chuan’s revenge was not off the track. After all, Chu Fengyuan, who released the Zerg, was indeed the enemy who killed his parents.
At least Nie Chuan knew what he was seeking revenge for, but he was a little confused about what he wanted to do with the original owner of this body.
The destroyed experimental subject was probably referring to him, and he needed to confirm that first.
Gu Huan lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes fell lightly like a small brush. Chu Xinglin didn't know what he was thinking, so he started to explain to himself.
"I didn't mean to hide my forcing the emperor to abdicate from you this time."
"... ..."
"You can stand with me fearlessly, but I am afraid."
"I can't guarantee that I can succeed in forcing the emperor to abdicate this time. I don't want you to go to jail with me."
Gu Huan's lips moved slightly.
"With me here, you can't fail."
After encountering the lieutenant colonel who neglected his duty on the starship, Gu Huan felt that the imperial army, except for their military district, was just a joke.
This may be the result of years of comfortable life.
The alpha in the video nodded in agreement and said affectionately.
"Yes, you are right."
"That's why I have to keep you outside."
"So that you can rescue your alpha at any time."
