Chapter 118 Sad Crystal Eyes (1)

Outside the White Emerald Palace, the riots of the people continued for a long time.

After such a surprise, the rest of the process has changed.

As soon as the coronation ceremony was over, the crown prince and the newly crowned crown prince turned around and walked off the stage, arm in arm, leaving a circle of people staring at each other; and His Majesty the Emperor was obviously stimulated a lot, which should have been enough. The ten-minute speech was shortened to ten sentences by Lin Ge, and she turned around and ran away after speaking; the empress dowager Sylph, who was living in seclusion in the deep palace, was still sitting in a royal aircraft covered with white silk and satin this year, and she only showed it to the public. a shadow.

When the Empress Dowager also went down, the ceremony became completely boring.

Old Marshal Chen's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he climbed up the stage to save the scene under the begging eyes of the officials.

No way, the process to go still has to bite the bullet. Even if the spectators at the bottom have already lowered their heads and swiped Zhiwang visibly, they have long been too lazy to look here...

...

White Emerald Palace, back garden.

Lin Ge sat lazily on the rattan chair, holding the group photo of the founding emperor in his arms.

The photo is placed in a gold frame with carved roses, and it is very heavy when you look at it.

Footsteps approached from behind.

Lin Ge didn't look back and said with a smile, "Come on, it's so slow."

Her attire had not yet taken off, but it was still as bright as a flower splashed with ink and cinnabar, and the lace-stacked skirt trailed behind her, dazzlingly bright.

"I don't think it's me being slow, maybe you're slipping too casually."

The leader of the Black Shark Base did not know when to stand behind the emperor, "Did your majesty cry just now?"

"Yeah, it was so unexpected, I was scared to cry."

The female emperor laughed, her red righteous eyes shimmering: "Just like I didn't expect back then that the little bastard could be so cruel after knowing the truth about Jingchao, and leave Mingming to die."

"But he's here again today, alas... Do you think he's a jerk or not?"

"..." The leader hesitated for a moment, hesitating to speak, and finally sighed slowly without speaking.

Lin Ge looked at the sky, "However, if Kaios can really be manipulated, it's not him."

She squinted her eyes and turned back, letting the wind blow the hair on her temples, "What is this called...Is it the so-called human will that your base believes in?"

"It may also be fate." The leader said in a calm electronic voice. She turned her face slightly, although her face was shrouded under the iron mask, she seemed to be looking at the photo in the emperor's arms.

"Just like when the horn of the expedition was about to sound again, they still stood side by side on the top of the White Jade Palace, and we watched them."

Lin Ge's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his right eye, which was still intact under the eyelashes, showed a strange luster.

A few seconds later, she pursed her red lips into an arc: "It's about to start?"

"The side effects of the third-generation sedatives have been basically eliminated, and they will soon be put into use by the whole people."

The leader said lightly: "The fifth experiment of the mecha's mental manipulation technology was also very successful. I am going to let Yin Beidou in the third fortress try it first."

Lin Ge raised his eyebrows: "Soon."

The leader: "It's a matter of course, your Majesty used the guise of conscription to help the base forcefully capture many big mecha divisions."

Lin Ge waved his hand, lowered his head and smiled: "No way, wartime state, wartime state."

The two of them chatted casually again. Lin Ge suddenly straightened up and used a complaining tone: "But you are also stubborn, do you have to wear such an iron bump every day? I almost don't remember your face and voice."

As the emperor spoke, he casually stretched out his hand to the side, but his fingertips touched the cold black armored gloves.

The leader withdrew his hand indifferently: "It's not important, Your Majesty."

"What nonsense." Lin Ge let out a long sigh, raising his hand and messing up his long hair, ignoring the jingling of jewelry and hair accessories, "It's been more than fifty years, those two bastards threw this mess to me, you I don't want to see me again..."

The black hair fell from the Empress' fingers, she lowered her head to support her forehead, and said with a faint expression: "Calculate the time, it is indeed almost the last moment."

"Sometimes I think, I've worked so hard to bring the empire to what it is now, even in his eyes, it's barely a pass, right?"

"But then again, can this battle really be won?"

Lin Ge said disappointedly, "If you can't win, what's the point of all this?"

The leader bent over to pick up the emperor's hair accessories and put them on the small table aside: "You shouldn't think too much about that."

"why?"

"Because you are a real fool, Your Majesty." The leader came to a conclusion very naturally, "If you don't understand, fighting with a knife is more suitable for you."

Lin Ge was stunned for two seconds, and then with a puff, she began to laugh out loud, and slapped the armrest of the chair, leaning back and forth.

Until the tears came out, the female emperor leaned on the chair and turned her head, with water stains hanging from the corners of her red eyes: "...I miss them."

The leader stood still, she was like a hard black mountain: "I know, Your Majesty."

"I really want to..." Lin Ge smiled, with tears in his eyes, and read each word hard, "I miss them very much."

She clasped the five fingers of one hand on the armrest of the chair, trembling slightly, while the other arm held the golden photo frame in her arms tighter.

The leader paused and said softly, "Me too."

"And you."

Lin Ge said with a sad smile.

The empress closed her eyes and murmured mixed with a sigh: "...Sylph, I miss you too."

The leader was silent for a while, and still replied in an inorganic electronic voice: "I know, Lin Ge."

The wind of the White Emerald Palace blew between the two, and the branches and grasses rustled at the end of winter.

It has not changed, how the wind blew sixty-four years ago, and how it blows now. It is people who change, and only people.

Lin Ge lowered her eyes. She placed the heavy statue of the emperor on her lap, solemnly opened the rose-gold frame, and slowly took out the paper photo.

In the photo, there is still a majestic and solemn young emperor, wearing a crown, a thick robe, and holding a scepter in his left hand, which are the three ritual vessels used in today's ceremony.

On the right is Queen Sylph, holding a bouquet of lilies in her right hand, looking pure and refined with a gentle smile.

However, as Lin Ge lifted the photo up, the mystery was revealed—its up, down, left, and right directions were all folded in.

If an outsider sees it, it should be terrified at this moment. This double portrait of the emperor and queen, which is well-known in the empire, is far from the full picture of the real thing.

Lin Ge first unfolded the upper and lower sides, and the photo immediately expanded by more than half. It can be seen that the background is in the White Emerald Palace, the back garden full of golden roses.

Even the open space where the photo was taken is where the emperor is facing now, just stand up and walk two steps.

Then, she lifted the folded corner on the right side.

As soon as the right corner is opened, there is one more person in this photo that should have only been the emperor and the queen.

It was clearly the current female emperor, Lin Ge herself, who was still the heir. In the photo, Lin Ge looks younger than she is now. Her arms are wrapped around Queen Sylph's left arm without a bouquet, showing a bright and sullen smile.

Lin Ge fixedly stared at himself back then, and said, "You really look like an idiot."

The leader watched silently, not moving. For some reason, she put her hand on Lin Ge's shoulder.

After a long time, about two or three minutes later, Lin Ge slowly opened the left corner.

Her fingers were stiff. It seems that he is standing in front of the old man's door, and he mustered up the courage to push it open.

The left chamfer is also open.

The bright sunlight fell on the shimmering golden fringe, which was an old imperial marshal's uniform.

The marshal himself was surprisingly young, with smooth black hair and deep black eyes. His face was extremely pale, as if he had been ill for a long time. Her expression was helpless and gentle, she turned slightly sideways, as if she wanted to escape from the camera but couldn't.

Looking down, there was no crystal condensation on his wrist, and he was a disabled human who was recognized as inferior at that time.

The reason why he couldn't "escape" was that his hand was clasped by Emperor Kaios next to him, his wrist and wrist were crossed, and his fingers were tightly interlocked.

Originally in the statue of the emperor and empress, the expression of the emperor was solemn and solemn.

However, with the style of this corner, it becomes a serious bully, which is very bad.

Queen Sylph's smile has always been interpreted as broad and gentle like a saint.

But now that Lin Ge was holding his arm stubbornly, it turned into a half-hatred, half-shy, more delicate and fresh smile.

——The sky in the photo is as clear and blue as today, sixty-four years later. The sun is sloping down from the thin clouds like a waterfall, shining on the young men and women.

The four people in the photo, from right to left, are Crown Prince Lin Ge, Queen Sylph Pine, New Emperor Kaios, and Dawn, the founding commander-in-chief who has hardly left any real face in the records of the Empire. .Aslan.

In the back is the golden rose garden of the White Emerald Palace, with bullfinches and young pigeons resting in the trellis woven by vines. Each of them looked so relaxed, as if they had finally reached a peaceful paradise after wading through war and stardust.

Here, anyone can fully recuperate their wounded body and mind.

You can love, you can be happy, you can be beautiful forever.

"..."

Empress Lin Ge stared at the photo for a long time, her face was calm, but tears fell from her right eye again.

A hand hidden under the cold black armor reached out.

She quietly caught the teardrop.

Outside the White Emerald Palace.

The process of the ceremony has just finished, but the people have not dispersed.

But it's no wonder that it's rare to have so many big people gathered together, whether it's to talk about business, gain relationships, or watch the fun, there's no harm in staying a little longer.

Kevin gasped all the way through the crowd and ran over. He looked around in a panic, and suddenly a beautiful figure passed by in front of him.

"Excuse me."

Donna Sekter coldly picked up her dress and passed by Kevin.

When the two passed by, the chain on her wrist flickered. There are eight red agates polished into round beads on it, and it can be seen that the cost is high.

For a time, Kevin only felt a cold current rushed from his head to the soles of his feet, making his limbs stiff.

It is exactly the same as the gem I just picked up in Lauren's house!

When he came back to his senses, the lady wearing the bracelet had already left.

When Kevin was struck by lightning, someone suddenly pushed him. The young man staggered two steps before standing up, and looked up in panic...

Only then did he realize that he had come to the circle where the nobles and other high-class people gathered, and many people looked at their simple, sweat-drenched clothes, frowning faintly and walked away.

The blood in his head seemed to be cold, and Kevin's teeth clucked, and he looked around again blankly.

Somewhere, he vaguely felt that this matter might be more urgent and more dangerous than he imagined. But Senior Jiang is not here, and he doesn't know anyone...

Suddenly, Kevin's eyes fell somewhere with hope.

It was the figure of a silver-haired young man surrounded by the crowd. The young man was handsome in every move, and talked freely with a smile. From a distance, it looks as elegant as iceberg snow lotus.

But Kevin had seen the more friendly side of this Excellency. He once stretched out his white silk gloved palm to his ordinary self and said...

"Don't be cautious, Jiang is my friend. If you get along well with him, then we are also friends."

Kevin wiped the sweat from his face, gritted his teeth to suppress his inferiority, gathered up the courage to squeeze forward, and shouted out of breath, "Lan... Your Excellency Lance!"

Audrey Lance turned around upon hearing the sound.

Afraid that the other party would not take care of him seriously, or even not remember himself at all, Kevin stammered his request: "Hello, I'm looking for...Senior Jiang! Not...Colonel Jiang! I have something very important, No, it's urgent—"

"You are... Jiang Kevin?"

Audley quickly recognized that this young man he had met before the New Year was Kaios' military cadet and Jiang's junior.

However, at this moment, the child had beads of sweat hanging in his hair, breathless and could not speak clearly, his face was pale, and his legs were still shaking. Audley was sensitively aware of something unusual, raised his hand, and said "excuse me" to several nobles in the remuneration.

I saw the silver-haired young man walking out of the crowd, and Kevin was a little dazed. I saw Lord Lance put his hands on his shoulders with a hint of comfort.

Audley slowed his tone and said seriously: "Jiang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the palace together. Maybe... Is there anything I can help you with?"
