Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Dingshan said to Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, what's wrong? What do you want to do?"

Xiao Yang said to Xiao Dingshan, "Royal Uncle, kill me!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Dingshan froze on the spot, his face filled with disbelief. He even felt as if there was something wrong with his ears.

He turned to Xiao Yang and said, "What? What did you say?"

Xiao Yang said to Xiao Dingshan, "Royal Uncle...kill me..."

Xiao Dingshan placed his hand directly on Xiao Yang's forehead and touched it: "Your brain is fine... and you don't have a fever... what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Dingshan with a serious expression and said, "Uncle, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious..."

Xiao Dingshan said to Xiao Yang, "Are you out of your mind...?"

Seeing Xiao Dingshan's expression, Xiao Yang quickly said, "I'm not crazy, you misunderstood... or maybe I didn't explain myself clearly..."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Dingshan smiled and then said, "Then explain yourself clearly... Why are you being so long-winded..."

Xiao Yang said to Xiao Dingshan, "What I mean is, kill me, and then become someone like you... Someone like you wouldn't need to rest or sleep, and your physical condition would be better than ours... And, most importantly, you probably wouldn't get sick, right..."

Upon hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Dingshan smiled broadly and nodded, saying, "That's right, that's indeed the case..."

Xiao Yang smiled at Xiao Dingshan and then said, "Uncle, can you get it for me?"

Xiao Dingshan said to Xiao Yang, "I can't make that decision either... I think you should ask Xiao Ce first..."

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Yang nodded, then grinned and said, "No problem... My older brother definitely won't have any objections... He'll definitely agree..."

Xiao Dingshan smiled at Xiao Yang, then said, "That's not necessarily true..."

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Yang asked with some confusion, "Uncle, what do you mean by that...?"

Xiao Dingshan said to Xiao Yang, "Although we haven't found anything amiss yet...but..."

Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Dingshan with a puzzled expression, then said, "But what..."

Xiao Dingshan said earnestly to Xiao Yang, "There's no 'but,' you have to understand that everything has two sides..."

"This thing seems to have all the advantages... but think about it, is it really like that?"

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Yang smiled and then said, "I've actually observed those Master Mi and the others. Aside from not being able to eat, there aren't any other disadvantages... Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages..."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Dingshan said directly, "There's another point: your right to have children has also been taken away..."

Upon hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Yang smiled broadly and replied, "I already have a child..."

Xiao Dingshan was somewhat surprised after hearing Xiao Yang's words: "When did this happen?"

Xiao Yang scratched his head, then said to Xiao Dingshan, "This is a recent thing, and we already have three wives... so it's not important anymore..."

"Since I haven't been born yet, I don't have an older brother to talk to... Uncle, aren't you already a lifelike human? Tell me about your experience using it..."

Seeing Xiao Yang's serious expression, Xiao Dingshan said, "User experience? I only did it because I had no other choice. There aren't any problems right now, but I always feel it's not that simple... I don't even have the chance to be a human being, yet you..."

Xiao Dingshan smiled at Xiao Yang's expression and said, "Alright, judging from your expression, you seem to be determined to do it... Let's ask Xiao Ce about it tomorrow."

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Yang smiled and nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

As Xiao Dingshan spoke, he turned to Xiao Yang and said, "Xiao Yang, are you alright?"

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Of course not, I just want to become stronger..."

Xiao Dingshan smiled upon hearing Xiao Yang's expression and then said, "Alright... let's go see him tomorrow."

The two of them gave up.

The next day.

Xiao Ce woke up early in the morning feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Yin Pan'er, on the other hand, was still sleeping soundly.

The saying "There are no bad oxen, only oxen that die from overwork" does not apply to Xiao Ce.

After Xiao Ce got up.

Da Lei excitedly stepped forward: "Your Highness..."

Xiao Ce looked at Da Lei's excited expression; Da Lei had indeed changed a lot in recent days.

Previously, he was like a cold-blooded killer, devoid of any emotion.

Now he seems more like a person, or more precisely, more human.

"Things have been going well lately."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei smiled and nodded, saying, "Just as you said, it's like living a retired life..."

Then, Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce expectantly and said, "Your Highness...then you..."

Upon hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled broadly and said, "That's right, I'll take you with me..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei's face lit up with immense joy: "That's wonderful... Your Highness, I've been so bored here..."

Then, Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, how did you fare on this trip?"

If we're talking about people Xiao Ce absolutely trusts, Da Lei is definitely one of them...

So Xiao Ce told Da Lei about his gains this time.

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Your Highness, this time I didn't go with you, so did I miss out on a lot...?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. If I had known, I would have brought you all... However, after taking a look, I think there's still a very good chance... There will be another opportunity to go next time..."

Da Lei nodded, then looked at Xiao Ce with anticipation.

Xiao Ce looked at Da Lei with anticipation, as if he had something important to say.

So Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Da Lei, is there something you want to say...? If you have something to say, just say it..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei nodded and then said, "That's right, Your Highness, I think..."

Before Da Lei could finish speaking, a hurried voice came from outside.

"Big brother...big brother..."

Xiao Yang suddenly came over, interrupting Da Lei's words.

Seeing Xiao Yang's anxious expression, Xiao Ce asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

As Xiao Ce spoke, he pulled Xiao Yang out.

After all, Xiao Yang's loud and boisterous manner made Xiao Ce genuinely afraid that he would wake up Yin Pan'er.

After pulling Xiao Yang aside, Xiao Ce asked, "Xiao Yang, what's wrong? What happened?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled and said, "It's nothing... I just have something important I'd like to ask for your permission for..."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing Xiao Yang's words, and then said, "So, you rushed to find me just for this?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled and said, "That's right, brother. I haven't even told you what I'm talking about yet."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce said, "It's not an urgent matter, and they asked for my consent..."

Xiao Yang gave an awkward smile and said to Xiao Ce, "So, I was waiting for you to wake up before coming to find you..."

Seeing Xiao Yang's expression, Xiao Ce smiled slightly and said, "Alright, just get to the point. Let's not beat around the bush..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled broadly and then said, "Alright, big brother, I want to die!"

This Xiao Yang really does have a knack for saying things that are sure to shock people.

Xiao Ce stared at Xiao Yang with wide eyes and said, "Are you out of your mind?"

Xiao Yang said to Xiao Ce, "Big brother, what I mean is, I want to go near death, and then you can transform me into a lifelike human. What do you think...?"

Only after hearing Xiao Yang's words did Xiao Ce understand what Xiao Yang wanted.

Judging from Xiao Yang's expression, it was clear that his uncle had told him these things...

After looking at Xiao Yang, Xiao Ce asked, "Did the Imperial Uncle tell you that?"

Xiao Yang nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, it was indeed my uncle who told me..."

Xiao Ce asked Xiao Yang, "So you've conveyed the same idea as your uncle, haven't you...?"

Xiao Yang nodded after listening to Xiao Ce's words.

After looking at Xiao Yang, Xiao Ce smiled at him and said, "Clearly, even the Imperial Uncle hasn't agreed..."

Xiao Yang nodded to Xiao Ce, then said, "That's right, he didn't agree..."

Just then, Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yang with some surprise, "He did not agree."

Listening to Xiao Ce's words and looking at his expression, Xiao Yang already understood what was going on...

"Big brother, are you a little surprised? I think this is a good thing. After all, becoming a simulated human means not knowing fatigue or getting sick, and most importantly, my physical abilities will improve dramatically. I even have the potential to become a martial arts master... At that time, I can take on ten people at once. This is completely beneficial with no drawbacks, don't you think..."

"I don't know why my uncle is stopping me... In my opinion, he's too conservative..."

Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yang, "Then why did my royal uncle follow what you said..."

Xiao Yang then recounted Xiao Dingshan's words of dissuasion from him the previous night, and after he finished speaking...

After hearing this, Xiao Ce's eyes widened and he said, "When did you get married? And have a child... You didn't tell me about these things?"

Seeing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang chuckled and then said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, it's not really a wedding. Actually, this place is just nice... it's just that a few women who are close friends have children, but they haven't given birth yet..."

"Besides, I didn't have a chance to talk to you about these things yesterday, did I?"

Seeing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "I was just joking with you, but I think what my uncle said makes sense... You're doing a good job as a human being, why do you insist on not being a human being..."

Xiao Yang said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, didn't I tell you? Those androids are amazing! Their stamina and physical abilities are incredible. Even Da Lei was stunned after training them. He said all the hardships his shadow guards endured practicing techniques were a joke compared to their physical talent..."

Xiao Ce then looked at Da Lei, who nodded vigorously, and then looked at Da Lei's eager expression.

Xiao Ce immediately realized something and said to Da Lei, "Da Lei, what did you want to say to me?"

Da Lei just gave a simple, honest smile.

Xiao Ce's heart skipped a beat. He turned to Da Lei and said, "Da Lei, you wouldn't happen to want to...?"

Da Lei nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, that's right. The thing I wanted to talk to you about earlier was precisely this..."

Xiao Ce heard Da Lei say, "You also want to become a humanoid?"

Da Lei nodded: "That's right, Your Highness. My greatest value is as your bodyguard... but as you can see... in this situation, it seems I'm about to be phased out..."

“My physical body is always my constraint; the upper limit of our bodies is just that… and… if I were to become a humanoid, I would definitely be stronger than them. Our previous training as shadow guards gave us an advantage in our spirit.”

"Our spirit is far stronger than that of ordinary people. I've thought about this for a long time now, and I think it's my physical body that's holding me back..."

Xiao Yang nodded repeatedly as he listened to Da Lei's words, then chimed in, "That's right...that's exactly what I meant...that's what I wanted to express..."

"Brother, that's what I meant too..."

Xiao Ce smiled helplessly and said to them, "Although we haven't found any problems with these lifelike figures yet, it doesn't mean they're problem-free. After all, this technology isn't ours..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce said to them, "I won't beat around the bush with you. You're not outsiders... The people from that creation base seem to be allies. But their generosity comes at a price... They're using us now. Once they stop using us, or once they've achieved their goals, they'll want us to obey them..."

"At that time, they will have absolute control over this technology..."
