After explaining clearly what happened on Apokolips, Xiao Tingyun handed Huo Siyi's three abyssal tribesmen to the people of the Security Agency, and then left the palace and returned to his prince's palace.
He has done everything he should do, and the rest is not his business. As for the whole empire's investigation of the Abyssal Clan, it is naturally the emperor's responsibility to worry about it.
Xiao Tingyun was carefree and relaxed. When the people in the palace were extremely busy, he took it easy. He even used the excuse that he just came back from Tianqi Star and needed a rest to take a week's vacation in one breath, including his daily salary. No need to go to the court meeting.
On the second day of Xiao Tingyun's vacation, Lu Zhan swaggered to the Prince's Mansion. After asking the housekeeper, Lu Zhan went straight to the artificial lake.
"You are quite leisurely."
Lu Zhan saw Xiao Tingyun sitting alone by the lake fishing.
Hearing his voice, Xiao Tingyun glanced at him lazily.
After Lu Zhan approached, he first glanced into the bucket at his feet. After seeing that there were already several fish in it, he calmly sat down on the stool next to Xiao Tingyun and said, "You At the court meeting, you said you wanted a thorough investigation of the entire empire, which made everyone upset, but you were hiding in the house fishing without any trouble. Your Highness, doesn't your conscience feel pain? "
Xiao Tingyun stared at the fishing rod and said without raising his head: "Why should I feel conscience pain? Did I say anything when I was busy at Apokolips?"
Lu Zhan was speechless and looked at him with surprise, "Your Highness, you really make me marvel at your thickness of skin every once in a while."
Xiao Tingyun chuckled.
Lu Zhan said sternly: "Do you know who His Majesty the Emperor has entrusted with the task of inspecting the entire empire?"
Xiao Tingyun said lightly: "Xiao Xingze."
Lu Zhan snorted, and his serious look changed again. He stared at Xiao Tingyun with wide eyes, and said incredulously: "How do you know? This appointment has not been officially issued yet. I have used all the equipment in the palace. I have just found out my connections.”
Xiao Tingyun sneered: "Do you need to pry? You can guess it with your brain."
Lu Zhan nodded first, then reacted and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness, do you mean that I have no brains?"
Xiao Tingyun finally raised his eyelids and glanced at him, half-smiling but not smiling: "I didn't mean that, but if you insist on thinking that way, I won't stop you."
Lu Zhan: "......"
How on earth did he find a wife with such a bad temper?
Oh, yes, he doesn't need to look for her, his wife has been settled since she was a child.
Lu Zhan cursed a few times in his mind, but couldn't help but ask: "How did you guess it was the second prince? And why did you guess it was him?"
Xiao Tingyun first looked at him with a look that looked like a fool. Lu Zhan almost got angry at this look, but just when he was about to get angry, he heard Xiao Tingyun say casually: "Xiao Xingze just because of the Queen That matter suffered a loss. Although the emperor favored the queen and suppressed the matter, he still wronged Xiao Xingze. What's more, the emperor also had high hopes for Xiao Xingze's son. He only had two sons, and Xiao Xingyang couldn't help him at all. Adou even obeyed the queen's advice, the emperor never regarded Xiao Xingyang as his heir from the beginning."
Lu Zhan frowned.
Xiao Tingyun continued slowly: "Although this inspection of the entire empire is time-consuming and laborious, it is also an opportunity for Xiao Xingze to gain the recognition of the people. Isn't it obvious that the emperor appointed Xiao Xingze for this matter? Moreover, this inspection is not only an opportunity to win over the people, but it is also an opportunity for Xiao Xingze to contact the Royal Legion in advance. After this inspection is over, the emperor will have a reason to let Xiao Xingze enter the court meeting openly."
Lu Zhan's eyebrows tightened, "Since you know, why don't you stop it?"
Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows and looked at him, smiling: "Why should I stop it? When I proposed the empire-wide investigation, I already guessed that this task would fall on Xiao Xingze. This was something I had planned. What am I stopping it from doing.”
Lu Zhan looked at him in shock, what do you mean it's settled early?
"So..." Lu Zhan stuttered and said, "Did you deliberately send Xiao Xingze to the Imperial Capital Star?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled and said nothing.
Lu Zhan took a breath and couldn't help but ask: "Why did you send him to the Imperial Capital Planet?"
Xiao Tingyun's eyes darkened, and there seemed to be a dark light flashing deep in his eyes.
He said indifferently: "Not only did I send Xiao Xingze out of the Imperial Star, but at the same time, half of the Royal Legion's troops left the Imperial Star with him."
Lu Zhan's pupils shrank and he gasped again, "You..."
He wanted to ask you what you wanted to do, but when the words came to his lips, Lu Zhan felt that there was no need to ask.
However, Lu Zhan didn't ask, but Xiao Tingyun said it himself, "I'm tired, so I don't plan to play with them slowly." After saying this, Xiao Tingyun didn't know what he thought of, and his face The indifference on his face suddenly receded, and then he became gentle, and even his voice had a gentle smile.
Xiao Tingyun: "And June is my child's birthday. I want to give her a birthday gift before her birthday."
Lu Zhan shivered and looked at Xiao Tingyun as if he were looking at some monster.
If he thought correctly, the birthday gift His Highness wants to give to the future Crown Princess is... the entire Xingluo Empire? ! !
This is really a big deal!
However, although Lu Zhan was shocked by Xiao Tingyun's generosity, after he composed himself, he still said seriously: "Your Highness, have you really thought about it?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled lightly: "I have been thinking about it for more than ten years."
Lu Zhan: "Does my father and the others know about your decision?"
"I didn't tell my uncle or them." Xiao Tingyun said with a smile: "I don't need any action from the Canglang Army. I didn't even tell Commander Long."
Lu Zhan looked at him in astonishment. Xiao Tingyun turned to him and said, "I only informed Wei Chuyang that I want the Xingce Army to return to the Imperial Capital in an upright manner."
Lu Zhan frowned: "Only the Xingce Army?"
"That's enough." Xiao Tingyun looked at the distant sky and said with a smile: "The Royal Legion has defended the Imperial City Star for too long. They have long been wiped out by the prosperity and peace of the Imperial City Star. Even if I only have the Xingce Army, it will be enough. Off to the Imperial Capital Star."
"What happens after we take it?" Lu Zhan asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Xingze took away half of the Royal Legion's troops. If something happens to the Imperial Star, he can bring his troops back at any time."
"He can't come back." Xiao Tingyun said lightly: "Since I let him go out, I have never thought about letting him come back alive. I was attacked in the Villalvi Star Territory, and they have not given an explanation yet. In this case, I don’t need to explain anything, just repeat what happened to me with Xiao Xingze.”
Lu Zhan: ".........."
Lu Zhan: "What about the other legions?"
"They can't come either." Xiao Tingyun said calmly: "The defense system of the Imperial Capital Star will be fully activated. No one can come in, and no one can go out."
Lu Zhan slowly exhaled and said, "Where are the people on the Imperial Capital Star? If you take such big action, the comments outside will not sound good. After all, he is the emperor."
"You want to say that I will be accused of treason?" Xiao Tingyun sneered: "That's what I went for in the first place, and what about treason? I am Xingluo orthodox, and I am just trying to bring order to chaos. What is the public opinion? In After I expose the buried truth, public opinion will be a sharp knife in my hand."
Seeing that he seemed to be really ready, Lu Zhan let out a long breath and said helplessly: "Although I still think your move is a bit crazy, but... when that day comes, I will stand By your side, I also want to see you ascend to the position that you originally belonged to."
Xiao Tingyun smiled when he heard this, reached out and patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder, and said as if he was promising: "Don't worry, you will see it with your own eyes."
Lu Zhan laughed, but in his heart he was wondering whether he should remind his father who was still on the Canglang Star that the Canglang Army could not move, but they still had to be prepared in case something went wrong in His Highness's plan. An accident occurred in Yihuan, and the Canglang Army was still close to the Imperial Capital Star and could come to support at any time.
Xiao Tingyun didn't know what Lu Zhan was still thinking about. The fishing rod in his hand moved. He pulled hard and another fish was hooked.
After throwing the newly hooked fish into the bucket, Xiao Tingyun was not ready to continue fishing. He raised his hand to check the time, put away the fishing rod, picked up the bucket containing the fish, stood up and said to Lu Zhan: "We caught today. There’s plenty of fish, so you can stay for dinner.”
Lu Zhan raised his hands and rubbed his face vigorously, then stood up and said with a smile: "That's a good feeling. This is a fish caught by His Royal Highness himself. I need to eat more."
