My idol became a prince

After hearing Wen Jie's words, no one in the room made a sound for a long time. After all, everyone in the palace knew that, as the prince, he had been "grounded" for the past year.I don't know how long it took, but Bai Muyin finally cleared his throat, and broke the silence by speaking again, "... His Majesty the Emperor wants to see you, please prepare."

"See me?" Wen Jie repeated in surprise, after all, he really didn't believe that his "father" would think of him because of something.

Although the emperor did not take the initiative to fight for this position back then, after taking the throne, he would never be willing to give up this position.So although Wen Jie was recalled forcibly by the House of Representatives, it was not his own will.However, as the current first heir to the throne, he could not help being extra vigilant and suspicious of the emperor.Even after returning to the palace, Wen Jie only saw the emperor once, and it was on the day he returned to the palace.

In the first 20 years of Wen Jie's life, he never met his father a few times.And just like his father didn't like him, he didn't like the man who was always sick in bed and always looked at him with suspicious and repulsive eyes.Sometimes, Wen Jie even felt that this man, who had become emaciated due to long illness, was like a vulture about to die of old age in the Gobi.

So Wen Jie understands that it is definitely not the emperor himself who wants to meet him today, but the House of Representatives thinks that the emperor needs to meet him.Just like being forced to return to the Xuan Palace a year ago, a year later, this time he still has no chance of refusing.

So without waiting for Bai Muyin to continue, Wen Jie shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter, let's go."

But obviously his indifferent attitude angered Bai Muyin once again, Wen Jie's words or this kind of carelessness made the man who had been in the political arena for half his life and was used to not displaying emotions or anger frowned again. Frown.But at the last moment, Bai Muyin still controlled his emotions, he only left a cold sentence "Please be careful with your words and deeds, Your Highness" before turning around and walking out of the room.

……

Wen Jie is the emperor's only son, but unfortunately, this status did not bring him any benefit.On the contrary, because of this dangerous identity, he was guarded everywhere.Even during this year, Wen Zhi never got the chance to go out of the direct palace and move freely in the palace.Of course, this time was no exception. Bai Muyin took Wen Jie to a place that he could reach within ten minutes of walking, or "escorted" Wen Jie onto a hover car.

Although the cabin area is large, if you count the guards behind, there are dozens of people in this line.And Wen Zhi, who was tightly surrounded by guards with live ammunition, didn't seem to care about the situation, he looked very calm and relaxed.And at this moment, Bai Muyin, who was opposite, suddenly read the "royal demeanor" that he had never seen from the current emperor of the empire from this 20-year-old boy.But soon Bai Muyin shook his head and put Caicai's thoughts behind him. This is just a rebellious boy who has not yet finished puberty, so he is fearless, he told himself.

The reason why this huge palace complex is called "Xuan Gong" is because the color of the buildings here is mainly dark and black, with occasional dark red mixed in the middle.This kind of black is not paint, but a rare mineral deposit. In order to build this gorgeous palace complex many years ago, Sa Jue exhausted the mineral deposits of the entire planet.

Speaking of which, the reason why the Sajue Empire was able to have the scale it is today, and has not fallen in such a complicated and lengthy internal struggle, is due to its profound historical background.At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, the long-sighted rulers did not spare their money at all, and they invested a large amount of the empire's taxes in the newly emerging field of space exploration.And at this time, adventurers from the Sajue Empire traveled all over the known universe, and then laid an extremely broad territorial foundation for the empire.The black mineral deposits for the construction of Xuangong came from a planet discovered at that time, and the possession of the mineral deposits on that planet accounted for more than 80.00% of the entire universe[-].

But ignoring the extravagance of the palace, this color scheme combined with the design style of dangerous buildings and high platforms will not only give people an extremely strong visual impact and shock, but also make people in it feel extremely depressed .

Especially when matched with the thick and choking incense in the temple.

Although the current technology is very advanced, it is still far from the level of "life and death human flesh and bones" that people imagined.Even if he is the king of a country, facing such a chronic illness, the emperor still has nothing to do except rely on all kinds of precious medicinal materials and precision instruments.

The incense that is being lit in the house is not only fragrant, but also has medicinal value.The price of this kind of incense is very high, and ordinary people may not be able to buy a small piece after exhausting their savings for a year.But in the palace, it was burned without money, even to the point of blinding the eyes.

As soon as he entered the room, Wen Jie couldn't help frowning and then narrowed his eyes slightly.Obviously Wen Jie's behavior made Bai Muyin displeased again, he glanced at Wen Jie, then lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, please pay attention to your expression." a sneeze of...

Going around an antique screen covered with flowers embroidered with gold silk, Wen Jie finally saw what it looked like in the inner room.Today, the bedroom, which was always deserted, suddenly became extremely lively. Standing beside the hospital bed was half of the Sajue Empire's parliament, and any one of them who went out would be a big shot to intimidate one side.But now, they all stood here quietly, and waited together for the arrival of Wen Jie, the "prince" who had always been despised by the upper class.

In addition to the ministers of the House of Representatives, some royal family members and nobles also appeared here today.For example, Sa Jue's "Princess Zhao Ding" Wen Pu, her father is the cousin of the current emperor.Normally speaking, Wen Pu should have been far away from the center of power in this generation.But by mistake, because one by one of his peers was involved in the vortex of power struggle and then died or went to prison, and the current emperor has no biological daughter, Wen Pu was adopted according to the royal custom and became the entire royal family. The only princess in the world.

Although everyone present didn't like Wen Jie, but the superficial effort still had to be done.So after seeing Wen Jie coming in, all the ministers and nobles in the room turned around and saluted him, and even the extremely arrogant Bai Mu Yin who had been following Wen Jie all this time also bent down at the same time .

"Father, Wen Jie is here." Wen Pu helped the person lying on the bed up while speaking, but after hearing Wen Pu's words, Wen Jie couldn't help raising his eyebrows.After all, he hasn't quite adapted to this situation for the time being - when he was not quite used to the word "Father Emperor", he had just met the emperor a few times, and Wen Pu, whose blood is far away, can already call this title. Said it very naturally.

But the last time Wen Jie came here to see the emperor, the other party claimed that he was ill and did not pull back the heavy bed curtain from the beginning to the end.Therefore, what the people present did not know was that today was the first time in the past ten years that the two father and son saw each other's appearance without using video.

"Cough cough...cough cough" The emperor, who was helped to sit up just now, felt a little uncomfortable for the time being. He coughed a few times, and after the cough subsided, he glanced coldly at Wen Jie, and then said disdainfully in that hoarse voice. "It doesn't look like Gu Gu at all." His words were really ruthless, but anyone who had a little fantasy about the word "family affection" would feel too indifferent, but it's a pity that Wen Jie didn't have this kind of fantasy. A group of politicians apparently did not.

It seemed that no one in the whole room cared about the words of the sick emperor on the bed. After his coughing stopped, one of the more prestigious ministers came to Wen Jie and said, "Your Highness has long since grown up and officially It has been a year since you returned to the royal family. His Majesty the Emperor came in and felt unwell, and is about to go to a palace on another planet to recuperate. Now you should fulfill your obligations as a prince." His words did not leave any room for Wen Jie to refute.

Wen Jie glanced at the emperor who started coughing again, apparently his body has reached a critical point recently.And in order to prevent this man who is easy to control but can maintain the strange balance of the court to a certain extent, from dying of illness prematurely, this recuperation was put on the agenda.

"Obligation." Wen Jie repeated these two words without changing his tone.

"Your Highness is the prince of the empire, your life belongs to the empire," the minister who spoke just now added.Unexpectedly, Wen Jie suddenly chuckled—it was very abrupt in the silent room, and then he said flatly: "My life does not belong to the empire, it belongs to myself."

……

Sajue Imperial Constitution] Article 1 of Chapter [-]: The supreme power of the empire belongs to the royal family, and at the same time, the royal family will swear to the death to defend the dignity of the empire.

No matter how many nasty things are hidden behind this gorgeous curtain, at least Wen Jie is the first person to say such rebellious words directly on the public face.

For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the fake smile on the minister's face just now disappeared.He turned around and bowed very slowly to Wen Jie with no expression on his face, then stepped back a few steps and returned to the line of officials.

"I hope our prince won't make any mistakes in the ceremony." Finally, he said coldly.
