It only took Xiao Tingyun one day to take control of the palace. It seemed easy and fast, but in reality, what happened after that was many and complicated.
He, Lu Zhan and others stayed in the Chaohui Hall to discuss, while Long Jiu on the other side was taken to the Prince's Hall by Xie Yu.
Since Xiao Tingyun moved out of the palace and lived in the prince's residence, the prince's palace has been dusty for many years. Although there are people cleaning it every day, it has lost a bit of popularity and looks particularly deserted.
Long Jiu didn't dislike the deserted and unpopular place. Instead, he had been looking around curiously since he came in. During the day, she also went to the Emperor's Residence Hall, where the emperor lived. Compared to the ostentatious and luxurious Prince's Palace, the Emperor's Residence Hall could actually be called 'simple'. Both the layout and the furnishings here were exquisite. It can be seen that the care was taken to the extreme, and every part is filled with the late emperor's love for Xiao Tingyun, his only son.
It is said that the Prince's Palace was rebuilt by Emperor Zhaoxu when Lu Qingzhu was pregnant with Xiao Tingyun. The design of the palace and all the furnishings inside were all drawn and decorated by Emperor Zhaoxu himself. Even the plaque on the palace with the words "He Qing Haiyan" written on it was written by the late Emperor Zhaoxu.
Compared with the modern style of other palaces in the palace, Xiao Tingyun's Prince's Palace has a completely ancient design, so the Prince's Palace has become the only unique scenery in this palace.
And Long Jiu likes this style of residence, so since he came in, Long Jiu's eyes have been shining brightly.
Xie Yu had been accompanying her silently. Xiao Tingyun asked him to send people over, and also asked him to stay here without going back to the court hall. He knew with his feet what his Highness's intention was, even though the entire palace was already under His Highness's control. , but His Highness is still worried about leaving his fiancée somewhere where he can't see her.
But when he thought that Long Jiu could defeat two or three Abyss tribe biochemicals by himself, and the scene where he was suspected of being transformed into a living person, Xie Yu felt that His Highness's worries were completely unnecessary, not to mention that there was no such thing here. There is danger, even if there is real danger, it is estimated that the person in danger will not be this person.
But Xie Yu was muttering in his heart, but he still followed Long Jiu honestly.
It wasn't until Long Jiu finally took stock of the surrounding environment that Xie Yu asked cautiously: "You have been in the palace with His Highness today. It's now this time. Are you hungry?"
The whole day was spent either dealing with the emperor or the queen. At noon, Xiao Tingyun was afraid that Long Jiu would be hungry, so he specially asked someone to bring her food from outside the palace. Although Long Jiu was full by then, she was still hungry. Now that most of the day has passed, Long Jiu was actually hungry for a long time, but she saw that Xiao Tingyun was too busy to get away, so she didn't mention it.
After being asked this question by Xie Yu, Long Jiu immediately touched his belly. But looking at the sky outside, Long Jiu hesitated and said: "Can I leave the palace now?"
If she remembered correctly, the palace would close at ten o'clock every night.
Seeing her touching her belly, Xie Yu knew that she must be hungry, and immediately said: "Of course, although the palace door is indeed closed now, it can be opened even if it is closed."
After Xie Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but think to himself, even if others can't make the palace door open, His Highness the Crown Prince can. As long as the future princess is hungry, let alone the palace door being closed, even if the sky is sending a knife, he will His Royal Highness will go to find food for her first and come back.
Xie Yu was so confident in what he said, but Long Jiu was still hesitant. She didn't want to trouble others, and she didn't want to disturb Xiao Tingyun who was still discussing matters in the court hall. She thought about going out quietly by herself and waiting. After eating, he sneaked back quietly.
But when Xie Yu saw her hesitant look, he thought she didn't want to eat food outside the palace anymore, so he asked tentatively: "Or do you want to eat in the palace? The head chefs in the imperial kitchen are all in the palace. Well, I’ll send someone to find them and make them ready for you?”
Although every part of the palace is now under guard and these people are not allowed to walk around at will, it is still okay to let the royal chef out to cook a meal.
Long Jiu was a little moved by the question. She had never tasted the delicacies made by the imperial chef. I heard that the chefs who could be the imperial chef were all masters. Every one of them could become a seven-star hotel after being released from the palace. Chef.
Long Jiu didn't resist the temptation immediately and nodded in agreement: "It's okay, but let the chef prepare more. Your Highness will be hungry all day."
Seeing that she agreed, Xie Yu immediately called for someone and ordered them to release the chef. He also specifically ordered the chef to cook more food. He thought that after it was done, he would send a copy here and then start again. Send a copy to the Chao Hui Hall.
The soldier who was called in immediately gave the order and ran away, but Xie Yu ran to the flower hall next to him. He didn't know where he found tea snacks and a fruit plate. He quickly brought them to Long Jiu and said: " You should eat some fruits and snacks first, it will take a while for the imperial chef to arrive."
Long Jiu was not polite, took the fruit plate and started eating.
Xie Yu stood aside and watched. After Long Jiu ate all the fruits in the fruit plate, she put down the fruit plate and turned her head to Xie Yu and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
Xie Yu was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "How do you know...?"
Long Jiu took the plate of snacks again, took a small bite and ate, and said: "Coming out of the Chaohui Hall, you looked at me several times and hesitated to speak. I'm not blind, but it's embarrassing. You’ve been holding it in until now and you’re still asking.”
Xie Yu smiled coquettishly when he heard this: "I didn't expect you to see it." After saying that, he couldn't hold it back for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Are you really Longjiujiu?"
Long Jiu looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Xie Yu touched the tip of his nose and looked at her with eyes twinkling, "What the hell...I'm not blind either. When we were in the meeting hall before, you suddenly showed up as a living person. I It’s hard not to see it.”
And if he saw it correctly at the time, before she transformed into a living person, he saw her emerging from His Highness's sleeve in a different form.
But at that time, he didn't see clearly what it was that came out of His Highness' sleeve, and he only vaguely saw a flash of silver light.
Although Xie Yu felt that his outlook on life was shattered, when he was at the Queen's Palace during the day, he saw with his own eyes the three queens transformed from human beings into monsters, so Xie Yu felt that there was probably nothing he could not accept now.
Probably seeing Xie Yu's curiosity, Long Jiu didn't hide it, or she had no intention of hiding it at all, and said bluntly: "I am not Long Jiujiu."
Xie Yu actually had a suspicion in his mind, but after it was confirmed by Long Jiu himself, he couldn't help being shocked. He looked at Long Jiu for a moment, but no matter how he looked at it, this face belonged to Long Jiujiu. .
Xie Yu asked carefully: "Who are you?"
"Long Jiu." Afraid of Xie Yu's confusion, Long Jiu specifically explained, "It's Wang Jiu's Jiu."
Xie Yu didn't care whether it was Longjiujiu or Longjiu. He was a little confused and said: "What about the real Longjiujiu? You are not Longjiujiu, does the commander know?"
Long Jiu slowly ate snacks and drank tea while replying: "The old man knows that as for the real dragon wine... he is gone."
Xie Yu was confused again. What does it mean to be gone?
Long Jiu glanced at him, "Gone means dead. This person no longer exists in this world, but if you mind, you can also think of me as Long Jiujiu. After all, I promised her that I would replace her." She and becoming her.”
Xie Yu: ".........."
I don't know if the amount of information in Long Jiu's words was too much, but Xie Yu was speechless for a rare moment.
Long Jiu didn't care, just let him stand there, while she concentrated on eating her tea.
After being confused for a while, Xie Yu asked anxiously: "What does it mean to replace her and become her?"
After Long Jiu ate the last piece of snack, he said: "She sacrificed her soul to me and asked me for a wish, and her wish was for me to be her and protect her relatives and the Long family on her behalf. I Since I have accepted her sacrifice, I will naturally fulfill her wish."
Sacrifice your soul?
Xie Yu shivered when he heard the words. Although he didn't quite understand what sacrifice meant, he still understood the general meaning.
Xie Yu looked at Long Jiu with horrified eyes and swallowed subconsciously. Although it sounded a bit mysterious, he believed it, and it was precisely because of his belief that Xie Yu was frightened.
"You..." Xie Yu moved a little away from Long Jiu without leaving a trace, and asked timidly and timidly: "Then what are you?"
Long Jiu couldn't tell that Xie Yu was afraid of her, but she still didn't care. Although Xie Yu was Xiao Tingyun's person, Long Jiu only cared about Xiao Tingyun. Therefore, others seemed to be afraid of her, and she didn't care at all. , even if this other person is someone close to Xiao Tingyun.
Looking at Xie Yu who wished he was eight feet away from him, Long Jiu smiled a little playfully, "Me, you have actually seen me."
A word "?" slowly appeared on Xie Yu's head. '.
Has he seen her?
What does it mean?
Long Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, and reminded: "I don't believe you haven't seen the video of the attack on Sagittarius, and the video of the home planet Beihai."
Xie Yu's expression was startled, video of attacking Centaur Star? There was only one video of the attack on Sagittarius that he had seen recently, which was the last time His Royal Highness was on Hongyan Planet, and he went to Sagittarius with her and the Long Family Army to find a place.
As for the video of the home star Beihai...
Thinking of this, Xie Yu seemed to have finally thought of something, and his eyes widened suddenly.
Whether it was the attack on Sagittarius or the video about the home planet Beihai, he only watched two of them, and an impossible existence appeared in both videos.
Thinking of the silver light that just emerged from His Highness the Prince's sleeve...
Xie Yu took a deep breath and started to stutter even when he spoke: "You...you you...you are the one..."
Before Xie Yu could finish stuttering, Long Jiu nodded and admitted: "Long."
Xie Yu: "!!!!!!"
It’s really a dragon! ! ! !
Xie Yu gasped again. This time, there was no fear in his eyes when he looked at Long Jiu, but a hint of surprise and awe.
He was surprised to see a living dragon, and also surprised that a dragon could turn into a human.
What's awe-inspiring is that she is a dragon, that is a legendary existence!
Seeing that there was no fear in Xie Yu's eyes, Long Jiu asked in confusion: "Aren't you afraid of me anymore?"
Long Jiu felt that this human being was really strange. He knew she was a dragon and not a human, but he was not afraid anymore. He was obviously afraid of her before when he didn't know anything.
Of course Xie Yu is not afraid anymore. It is normal to be afraid of unknown things, but once you know it, there is no such thing as fear, not to mention she is still a dragon! ! !
Xie Yu kept staring at Long Jiu as if he was seeing something strange, and his tone was a little cheerful, "Don't be afraid, probably every human being with ancient Chinese blood will not be afraid of you."
When Long Jiu heard him say he wasn't afraid, she felt bored. She curled her lips and threatened, "I eat people, and you're not afraid?"
Xie Yu blinked and said very honestly: "I have never heard of dragons eating people."
"That's because you are ignorant." Long Jiu snorted: "Dragon not only eats people, but also eats everything."
Xie Yu felt that this was wrong and originally wanted to ask her if dragons eat shit. But he also felt that if he did this, the dragon, which originally did not eat people, might actually eat people, so he obediently shut his mouth and stopped continuing the topic of whether to eat people or not with Long Jiu.
"No wonder we have been wondering why the heir of the Long family suddenly seemed to be a different person. There is nothing consistent with what we have investigated before." Xie Yu changed the topic and said with a sudden look on his face: "When we I was still speculating whether the Long family was hiding too deeply, and I was also wondering if someone had changed. However, after Long Jiujiu had an accident on his home planet and was taken back to the Imperial Capital Star by the commander, he underwent a series of treatments and treatments. We have quietly followed up on the inspection report, but the inspection report shows that you are Longjiujiu, and your genetic chain is normal, what is going on?"
Long Jiu said calmly: "I made some changes. No matter how high-end your human inspection instruments are, they can't find any problems."
Xie Yu nodded and was about to say something else when footsteps were heard outside. Xie Yu immediately shut up and looked outside.
I saw that the young soldier who ran out to find the chef came back again, but this time he came back with a big food box in his hand.
Xie Yu smiled when he saw this and said to Long Jiu: "The chef has prepared the meal."
Before the young soldier came in, Xie Yu walked out first, took the food box at the door and carried it in. He was still saying: "Oh, it's quite heavy. It seems that the chef has done a lot." Woolen cloth."
Xie Yu carried the food box and walked to the flower hall. Long Jiu immediately got up and followed him.
Xie Yu opened the food box and took a look, then placed the contents on the table one after another, and called to Long Jiu: "Hurry up and eat while it's hot. You are worthy of being the head chef of the Royal Kitchen. This skill is just a taste of the food." I feel hungry."
Long Jiu sat down at the table unceremoniously, looked at the plates that had been placed on the table, and asked, "Did you send it to the Chao Hui Hall?"
Xie Yu handed her the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile: "I'm sure I gave it to you. You can eat what you have and don't worry about it."
Long Jiu nodded, looked at Xie Yu who put the food box on the ground, and said, "You haven't eaten either, have you? Let's go together."
Of course, Xie Yu was also hungry all day long, but he felt a little resentful when he and Long Jiu were asked to eat together.
Long Jiu picked up the vegetables and ate without raising his head, "Are you still going to be hungry until tomorrow morning? Let's sit down and eat together. I happen to have something else to ask you, so let's talk while we eat."
Seeing that she had said this, Xie Yu no longer hesitated, took another set of bowls and chopsticks from the food box, sat down and started eating with Long Jiu.
Not to mention, the chef in this palace is really good at his craftsmanship. Although Xie Yu is the prince's guard and has never eaten food in the imperial kitchen in his early years, but since Xiao Tingyun moved out of the palace, they, the prince's guards, have never eaten anything. Didn't have a chance to eat it.
Xie Yu sighed while eating: "It tastes like this. I haven't had it in many years."
Long Jiu was not as emotional as him, but he ate at a slow pace. The bowl of fish fillet porridge quickly reached the bottom, while Xie Yu still had more than half of the bowl in his bowl.
After finishing the porridge in the bowl, Long Jiu turned to the glutinous rice chicken again, but still said: "When we are all in the palace during the day, isn't it peaceful outside the palace?"
Xie Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said: "It's not peaceful. After the incident in the Queen's Palace, more than a dozen synthetic biochemicals from the Abyss appeared in the city. However, His Highness was well prepared, so there was no big trouble."
"Have you found out where it came from?" Long Jiu asked.
Xie Yu shook his head: "I don't know exactly where it came from. Your Highness handed this matter over to Lu Zhan and Wei Chuyang. They came back at night, probably to investigate this matter. If you want to know , you can call them two to ask."
"No need." Long Jiu shook his head, thinking that Lu Zhan and Wei Chuyang would definitely discuss things with Xiao Tingyun when they came back, so why did she call them over? "I just wanted to ask."
Xie Yu said no more and said nothing.
After thinking about it for a while, Long Jiu asked: "The imperial capital star has been blocked since midnight yesterday, and it has been closed for a day and a night now. What is the situation outside the imperial capital star?"
"All the passenger starships entering the Imperial City are parked outside and are waiting for notification." Xie Yu said, "Originally, the seal was to be sealed for today and unblocked tomorrow, but those monsters from the Abyss tribe appeared in the city today, and His Highness will probably continue to seal it. A few days.”
Long Jiu immediately understood Xiao Tingyun's intention, "Does he want to blockade the Imperial City Star and then kill all the guys hiding on the Imperial City Star?"
"Yes." Xie Yu nodded, "Lao Gu and the others are searching outside right now. They have all been sealed off anyway. We just take this opportunity to clear out the Imperial City."
"The big news that the Imperial Capital Star is blocked has now spread throughout the major galaxies." Long Jiu said: "What's going on with the legions stationed outside?"
Although Xie Yu had been in the palace all day, he had a lot of information. When Long Jiu asked, he quickly gave the answer: "The 50,000 royal troops who were taken away by the Second Highness are now They are searching and rescuing in the chaotic star field. They can't get out for the time being and can't get any news from the outside. As for the other legions, the emperor originally controlled a third legion in addition to the royal army. However, since His Highness was last in Villalvi After the accident in the Star Territory, the commander of the Third Legion, Jiang Ningtao, was recalled by the emperor to the Imperial Capital Star. In addition, the deputy commander was never rescued and it is not known whether he is dead or alive. Now the power of the Third Legion has fallen to into the hands of Brigadier General Pei Ming."
"Pei Ming..." Xie Yu thought for a while and continued: "He is not the emperor's person, but he is not considered to be His Highness's person, but His Highness said that there is no need to care about the movements of the Third Army, just think about it. Knowing that the sky has changed on the Imperial Capital Planet, the Third Legion will not rush back to save the Emperor."
"What about the other legions?" Long Jiu asked.
Xie Yu smiled, looking a little more proud, "Except for the Long Family Army and the Canglang Army, His Highness has actually controlled half of the other legions. The remaining ones are not afraid of it. Those legion commanders have secrets behind their backs." The support of the family, but those families are neutral or undecided. Once His Highness announces the emperor's crimes tomorrow, those undecided people will know what to choose."
Long Jiu nodded and didn't say anything else. She was just thinking about whether she should go to video chat with that bad old man of the Long family later. She believed that with that bad old man's scheming attitude, he might have already known what was going on here. .
Although Xie Yu said that Xiao Tingyun had great power and that other legions were no longer to be feared, Long Jiu felt that to be on the safe side, the bad old man of the Long family still had to be prepared. Once any legion made any movement, he could Let the Long Family Army take the lead in intercepting the people halfway.
