Emperor Star, Crown Prince’s Palace.

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and instructed Xiao Ai: "Send the detailed distribution map of the empire's forces and the secrets of each family to your eldest brother."

Xiao Ai replied cutely: "Okay, Master, Big Brother must be very happy. He even said he would come to Emperor Star to meet me."

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. He was actually quite excited. He waved his hand and asked people to get ready. He was going to the palace to meet his father.

Luo Cheng, the commander of the guards in the Crown Prince's Palace, was ordered to go out and arrange for the Crown Prince to enter the palace.

The imperial palace is not far from the prince's residence, and the prince's guards have not been subjected to too many searches and harassment, which shows that the emperor still favors the prince.

Ling Xiao was wearing a neat military uniform, with his hair draped over his deep brows. He was leaning simply on a wheelchair, his aura was not diminished at all, but his gloomy look could not be concealed between his brows.

The emperor felt heartbroken when he saw his son, who used to be full of vigor and made him proud, become such a useless person.

He is 434 years old this year and does not have many years left to live before his 500-year deadline.

His eldest son not only has SSS-level innate strong genes and SSS-level mental strength, but is also the only child who inherited his talent and can live up to 500 years. He is the only most suitable successor to the empire.

The old emperor was a father who loved his children after all. He slowly stood up from his chair and came to Ling Xiao. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your position as the crown prince will not change. Take good care of your injuries. Your father will protect you."

At least before his son died, he held the honorable position of Crown Prince, so he didn't need to listen to those ministers who wanted to depose the Crown Prince.

Ling Xiao also knew that ever since he became a cripple, undercurrents had been surging among the major families. Those who had supported him before had turned against him and proposed to depose the crown prince. His good second brother was the most hotly debated candidate for the crown prince's position.

"Father, I don't care about the position of Crown Prince. But since I escaped from the Beast City, only the Imperial Marshal Admiral Hua is left to guard it. The most urgent task is to immediately send the army to the front line for support."

The City of Strange Beasts is located in a desolate land deep in the starry sky. It is mysterious and unpredictable, and is also the base camp of strange beasts. There are countless magical beasts and even void star beasts above them.

The star gate behind the Beast City is the only passage to the empire. Once it is lost, the empire will instantly become a sea of ​​beasts, and destruction is only a matter of time.

The old emperor not only considered the issue of reinforcements, but also considered that from a political standpoint, a marriage between the royal family and the Hua family was imperative.

The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Xiao'er is right. I will send the strongest royal legion and the title legions of each family to reinforce." He patted his son's shoulder and said, "Xiao'er is 36 years old this year, and the daughter of the Hua family has also come of age. It's time for her to get married."

"I heard that Hua Qing, the daughter of the Hua family, is now a seventh-grade senior alchemist and has been nominated as an assistant professor at the Imperial Research Institute. She is a rare and extraordinary woman. She is a perfect match for my son."

"Father, I heard that Hua Qing is not the Hua family's biological daughter, but only the Hua family's adopted daughter. The real daughter of the Hua family is someone else."

The old emperor sneered disdainfully. He also knew that the Hua family had been making small moves recently. What was going on? It was obvious that they were disgusted with his son for becoming a useless person. How could they be worthy of that?

If it weren't for the sake of the Imperial Marshal, he would have wanted to punish the Hua family and teach them a lesson.

The dignity of the imperial royal family cannot be insulted. He said that Hua Qing was the daughter of the Hua family, and the Hua family must allow Hua Qing to marry his son.

"Don't worry, Xiao'er. Since Hua Qing's last name is Hua, the one you're marrying is Hua Qing. This won't change anything."

He couldn't let go of the girl his son liked no matter what.

Ling Xiao covered his lips and coughed, saying, "Father, you also know that my son's body is useless, and his life span is less than a hundred years. Hua Qing is so talented, his life span will be longer in the future."

"Son, I have investigated the real daughter of the Hua family. She is lucky to have awakened her talent, but her talent is extremely poor. It is still unknown whether she can break through the lifespan limit in the future."

"If I were to let my son choose, I would rather choose the real daughter of the Hua family. After all, her talent is too poor, and she will have to rely on me to live in the future."

After hearing what Ling Xiao said, the old emperor almost burst into tears. How could he not be angry when his son was despised like this?

However, most talented people are arrogant and like to cling to the strong. If Hua Qing is really allowed to marry his son, will Hua Qing take good care of his son and live a peaceful life with him?

The old emperor's answer was no, but he couldn't get over the idea of ​​letting a loser marry his son. He felt sorry for his son, and even more sorry for his late queen Su Xin.

“Father, my son wants Hua Ran, please grant my wish.” Ling Xiao concealed the light in his eyes and said firmly.

The old emperor's heart was broken when he saw his son begging him with a dejected look on his face. "Okay, I promise you. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."

"Father, my current condition is not suitable for me to stay in the Imperial Star for a long time." Ling Xiao said in a distressing tone.

"I want to settle down on Simu Planet. Simu Planet is a good planet, but its development level is less than one-fifth. My son wants to conquer the entire planet in his lifetime."

Ling Xiao paused and said, "The Thirteenth Legion followed me to fight in the Sea of ​​Alien Beasts, and suffered countless casualties. They are no longer suitable for going on an expedition. I hope that the remaining people can serve as my private army and follow me to Simu Star."

The old emperor was now heartbroken, "Father promises you that the Thirteenth Legion can recruit those who are short of personnel, and the resources will be provided by the royal treasury."

"There is also a sacred land controlled by the royal family. I will give you a piece and assign you a senior planter."

"Thank you father."

"Tell me how you got injured this time."

Ling Xiao didn't say anything.

The old emperor closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and said sadly: "Did the second brother really participate?"

Ling Xiao remained silent.

No one believed that he died once and then came back to life.

His long black eyelashes hid the hatred in his eyes, and he sneered in his heart, so what if it was him? The second prince was the only one left in the royal family with the strongest innate genes, what could he do to him?

The old emperor still felt sorry for his son, and said in a heavy tone: "For this reinforcement, let the second son lead the royal army. He can only return after serving for a full year."

"Father is the boss."

The old emperor knew that his son had been wronged, so he asked, "How is the collection of materials for the ninth-level pill formula going?"

"Jiang Chi is leading a team to collect the data outside. The results will not be available until next spring."

"Okay, if you have any troubles in the future, just come to me."

Ling Xiao nodded in agreement and let the robot butler push him away.

As Ling Xiao left the palace, a series of orders were also issued.

Inside the villa, the handsome and masculine face of the Second Prince Ling Zhen twisted. He was a disabled man, but his good father still let his elder brother occupy the position of Crown Prince and threw him into the Sea of ​​Strange Beasts. Why?

Ling Zhen suppressed the violent emotions in his heart, and when he thought of Hua Qing's incredibly beautiful face, his mood gradually calmed down.

It's not that he has gained nothing. At least Hua Qing has dissolved her marriage with his eldest brother, and his eldest brother will only occupy the position of crown prince for a few decades at most.

In the end, Hua Qing was his, and the throne was also his. Thinking of this, he smiled proudly and ordered someone to send a gift of congratulations to his goddess Hua Qing.
