Chapter 49 The Truth Behind the Emperor's Assassination (4)

In the White Crown Hall——

What Lucy said shocked everyone present.

The emperor frowned, stood up, pointed his golden scepter at Lucili, and accused her bluntly: "Lucili, my daughter, do you know what you mean?"

The eldest prince stood aside, moving slightly further away from the emperor, but still had a polite smile on his face.

"What's wrong with the eldest prince? Why doesn't he want to laugh?" the system muttered.

Gu Chang smiled but said nothing.

But it's not as terrifying as the host, the system thought silently.

Lucy was not afraid. She shouted, "I am not your daughter! The emperor I see now is just a puppet!"

As he spoke, he turned on the real-time live broadcast of the entire empire. The huge light screen showed everything in the White Crown Hall, with multiple angles of view.

Everyone realized that this live broadcast was very unfavorable to them.

"I came back today to expose your lies to the entire empire! This fake royal family, ignorant parliamentarians, and innocent citizens of the empire who are being sugarcoated, have you forgotten the Zerg invasion all those years ago?!" Lucili frowned, pointed her left hand at the almighty Emperor, and scolded, "My father died five years ago. The man before me is nothing more than a puppet, a Zerg pretending to be the Emperor!"

Suddenly, a huge alarm sounded in Gu Chang's ears.

This was a truth that was unacceptable to everyone present.

The sky above the empire was filled with countless electronic screens. People walking on the streets stopped to watch Lucili's passionate words on the screen. Many people took out their personal computers and began to discuss the authenticity of this matter on the Star Network.

"Come here, capture Lucili." The eldest prince Elios standing aside gave the order.

Several guards rushed out from the gate and surrounded Lucili, with their weapons pointed at her.

The other guests had no idea what was going on and could only huddle in the corner and watch the scene anxiously.

Gu Chang and his companions also retreated to a corner, and Weil and his companions protected Gu Chang inside.

Gu Chang looked at the news that was constantly being updated on Starnet. He realized that the plot had deviated and took another look at the plot progress, which was 50%.

The progress bar is shaking and the data is collapsing.

He had to stop this live broadcast, so Gu Chang said to the system: "Stop this live broadcast, can you do it?"

The already shocked system quickly came back to its senses. Damn it, this is the first time I've seen the plot collapse like this.

With a crackling sound, black smoke came out of the bracelet hidden on Lucili's left hand.

All live broadcasts are terminated.

Shen Shangqing stood beside Gu Chang, his eyes slightly closed. He knew that only Gu Chang had the ability to interrupt this live broadcast in time.

As the live broadcast disappeared, Lucy looked at Elios angrily, "You did it!"

Elios chuckled, "The second princess has gone crazy. Capture her."

Then Elios supported the breathless emperor and prepared to leave. He lowered his eyelashes and his eyes were dim.

The emperor continued to harp on about how Lucili was a lunatic, and he angrily struck the ground with the bottom of his golden scepter.

Tong Xiyan, hiding in the crowd, looked at Lucy worriedly. If she tried to save Lucy, Dong Chongming would also be implicated.

The guards surrounded Lucille and grabbed her arms with iron pitchforks.

Just as Elios and the Emperor were about to leave, Lucili rushed out of the encirclement. A silver light flashed in her hand, and bullets flew out of the muzzle like a stream of light.

This kind of bullet is specifically aimed at the Zerg. As long as this bullet hits the emperor, the Zerg in human skin will be exposed to everyone.

"Ah!!!" a shrill scream rang out.

Lucili was stunned and fell to the ground helplessly.

No one knew when the third princess Meris appeared there, and the bullet hit Meris's heart.

"Lucili, you are crazy! Assassinating a member of the royal family is a serious crime! What are you still standing there for! Catch her!" Elios shouted.

Just as the guards were about to capture Lucili, a strange aura swept through the entire banquet hall.

The breath of the sea and the magical singing appeared in the minds of everyone present.

Ten seconds later, Elios looked at Lucili with a cold expression as she disappeared from the scene. After taking a look around, he looked at the confused guests and suddenly smiled politely: "Everyone, there has been a little accident. I hope you don't mind."

This sudden incident, clarified by the imperial family, was caused by the betrayal of the empire by the second princess, Lucille. Not only had she brutally murdered the young third princess, Meris, she also attempted to ascend to the throne. She meticulously planned the murder, but fortunately, the eldest prince, Elios, stepped in and stopped Lucille's assassination attempt on the emperor.

To express gratitude for Merlis's sacrifice, the royal family and imperial councilors unanimously decided to hold a funeral for Princess Merlis three days later.

The Empire then issued a wanted poster for Lucy, offering a reward of tens of millions of star coins. Anyone with inside information who could provide clues to the Imperial authorities would receive a substantial additional reward.

In the Prince's Palace——

"Teacher, why are you here?"

After placing a few cups of coffee on the tray on the thick tablecloth, Tong Xiyan looked at Gu Chang sitting on the chair with some confusion.

The clear glass reflected the cold moonlight, and only a few candles were lit in the room.

In this room, besides the two of them, there was also Will and Lucille who was lying unconscious on the bed.

Shen Shangqing was not there because the Federation had received news that a mutation had occurred on the Zerg's original planet and that special operations forces were needed to investigate the situation.

Lika and the newly returned Reils went to the royal family to pick up Angel, and at the same time observed the movements of the royal family, especially the emperor, to see if he was really a Zerg in disguise.

Que Wen was still in his original place, monitoring the movements of the various royal family members.

Lucius also left because he had to go back to his hometown to deal with some things.

Gu Chang's terminal was connected to the surveillance system hidden in the eldest prince's residence, so he could grasp some of the movements of the eldest prince Elios.

It’s just that after that incident, the other party has been staying in the palace and has not returned.

It was only one night after the accident, and the royal family clarified the matter quickly.

The Empire also took action to reduce the heat of this matter, but there are still many netizens on Starnet discussing the authenticity of the emperor, but most of them were prompted that their speech violated the rules.

"I came to the Empire for something, and I just happened to see you here." Gu Chang made up an excuse. "Someone said he went to the "Terminus" base."

Tong Xiyan remained silent. She knew that the teacher always trusted her, and this was the first time she had lied to Gu Chang.

Her fair face flushed crimson with shame. Holding the tray in both hands, Tong Xiyan walked over to Gu Chang and bowed 90 degrees. She said in a sincere voice, "I'm sorry, Teacher! I just don't want to be trapped by my matching value for the rest of my life, so I took such a risky action."

Wei Er, who was leaning against the wall, was attracted by Tong Xiyan's sudden action. He looked at his boss who had his back to him and said, "Boss, you guys chat first. I'll go out and see the prince."

After Weil came out, he closed the door and turned around to see Dong Chongming sitting on the sofa with a nervous look on his face.

"Who are you?" Dong Chongming finally summoned the courage to ask. He was just an insignificant prince, and now these people had come to his residence. He was likely to be discovered by the royal family and accused of collaborating with the enemy.

And the eldest prince Elios might have also planted spies here, what if...

"Don't worry, there are no other forces here right now." Will rarely comforted a stranger. He strode over to sit next to Dong Zhongming, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "By the way, you don't look like someone from the royal family."

Dong Chongming's whole body stiffened. Weil was an aggressive sentry. Although Weil tried to hide his aura, Dong Chongming still felt the obvious difference the moment Weil approached him.

The difference between ordinary people and sentinels.

Especially the opponent's spiritual body, Saker Falcon, was still standing on Will's shoulder and staring at him vigilantly.

"I...my mother is just an ordinary person who has some connection with the royal family." Dong Chongming said this reluctantly.

Will patted him on the back and laughed: "Don't be so nervous, we are all friends."

Dong Chongming, "..." He only knew Tong Xiyan.

Gu Chang in the room smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, just stand there first."

"Did you know that Anna is Lucille?"

"I guessed it..." Tong Xiyan put the tray in her hand on the table, then looked at the person lying on the bed with complicated eyes.

When Lucyli was fighting with the guards, she could see that their moves were very familiar, and a guide who had not studied in the tower would not know those.

In addition, Tong Xiyan intuitively felt that Lucili was very familiar, so she was sure that Lucili was Anna.

But she still didn't know why the other party did this.

Gu Chang asked the system to call up the plot progress, which was 60%.

Very good, the plot did not completely collapse, and it even added 10%.

"Do you plan to stay here forever?" Gu Chang asked.

Tong Xiyan shook her head, "I don't know."

"Why don't you ask her?" Gu Chang looked at Lucy who had already woken up.

Tong Xiyan looked over, her eyes moist, "Anna... No, it should be Lucy." She walked over, sat beside the bed, and looked at her pale friend.

"I'm sorry." Lucy moved her lips. There were a lot of thoughts in her mind, but after saying these three words, she couldn't say the rest.

For Lucy, the three years she spent studying in the tower were the happiest days of her life. She was able to completely drop her disguise and be her true self.

However, every night, man-eating demons would appear in her dreams. They were all dressed in royal clothes, grabbing her body and dragging her into the abyss bit by bit.

She is an undercover agent sent by the Empire to the Federation. She needs to obtain important research data from the Federation and learn all the knowledge of the Federation's medical guides, just to defeat the elites within the Federation.

After all, losing a successfully trained medical guide would cause many Federation Sentinels on the battlefield to fall into a mental riot, which would further increase the Empire's advantage.

But Lucy couldn't do it, as she was supposed to kill Tong Xiyan that day.

But in the end, she chose to escape.

She had hoped to expose the emperor's false identity and awaken the people of the empire, but she failed, and caused the death of Meris, which was punishment for her unrealistic plan.

"Why... why are you saying sorry to me, Lucy?" Tong Xiyan's voice choked with sobs. She knew Lucy's position as an Imperial, and that the Empire and the Federation were inherently at odds. Lucy, an undercover agent sent by the Empire to steal secrets from the Federation, was a bad thing for the Federation. But for the Empire, Lucy's choice to betray the Empire and fail to complete her mission was also a bad thing.

Then why did Lucille say sorry to her?

"Xiyan, I know you are a very good and excellent person. I was the one who deceived you first, so I am sorry for your trust." Lucy raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Tong Xiyan's eyes, and her expression softened.

"Is that emperor really a Zerg pretending to be one?"

Gu Chang broke the warm atmosphere. His voice was clear, but his tone always made people feel a little careless.

Lucy put down her hand and turned her head to look at the handsome man with long silver hair.

"Five years ago, when I returned to the empire to meet the emperor, I met Elios..."

According to Lucy, it was clearly unusual for the eldest prince, Elios, to appear in the emperor's chambers at night. Generally speaking, no one was allowed to enter the emperor's chambers after 10 p.m.

Unless the emperor allows it, Elios made a gesture to Lucili to keep quiet.

What he meant was that he asked her not to tell anyone about what happened today.

Of course, Lucy didn't think much about it. After entering the emperor's bedroom, she smelled the strong scent of incense.

She found the emperor lying motionless on the bed, and the incense was mixed with the subtle smell of blood. At that time, Lucili hurriedly lifted the quilt to see the emperor's condition.

The emperor was sound asleep, but Lucy noticed a fingernail-sized piece of skin next to the pillow. She quietly took it away while covering the emperor with the quilt.

Afterwards, she asked her subordinates to investigate the skin fragment, and the result was that the skin fragment came from the Zerg.

But Lucy was soon sent to the Federation as an undercover agent, so she had to keep the matter secret for the time being.

When she returned to the empire this time, Lucili discovered that all her confidants had been eliminated by Elios, and the place where she lived was filled with people arranged by Elios to monitor her.

After saying this, Lucy drank the water handed to her by Tong Xiyan. After feeling her throat felt much better, she took out the transparent box containing the green skin fragment.

Tong Xiyan handed the box to Gu Chang.
