Chapter 238 Flowers bloom and wither (5)

Lin Ge was right.

Quarrel, automatically reconcile after arguing, quarrel again, reconcile again... The fixed cycle of the pattern fills the time between Jiang Jianming and Ryan.

As for the name of the new imperial capital, the commander did not know about it before, and the news made him so angry that he almost fell ill——

Nonsense, Volna is the capital of the new empire, and the capital does not need to be named after the founding emperor and uses a courtier, which is absolutely ridiculous!

Whose empire is this empire? ?

Jiang Jianming was distressed and angry, so he left His Majesty for three days lukewarm. And Ryan was also betting on his anger, not even looking at him, just pretending he didn't know this person.

After being stiff until the fourth night, the two of them sighed in unison—forget it, how far away can they be.

They were all about to bow their heads and bow their heads to coax the other, but they collided in the middle of the road.

The evening breeze is swaying, and the eyes meet in surprise. Just a look at each other and nothing to say.

So the Emperor Commander walked back side by side, sat in the commander's room and ate a late-night snack, chatting about whether or not to reorganize the army.

——Seeing Sylph who came over to conduct a routine medical examination for the commander was taken aback for a moment.

When he finished talking about business, Jiang Jianming was leaning on the reclining chair, not knowing when he had already covered His Majesty's coat.

He was a little tired, and his voice became lazy and soft, "Okay...I don't care about the naming of the imperial capital. Don't be angry, okay?"

"I'm not angry, but you dare to splash me with water, it's outrageous."

With a stern face, Lean patted Jiang Jianming's hand, "There are only zero and countless times of domestic violence."

"..."

Jiang Jianming was speechless, so he could only say, "Then call back and pour it back."

Ryan squinted and snorted, not like a demonstration, but like a coquette.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his hand and took the sleepy commander into his arms, showing a satisfied look.

...That's right, the three-day Cold War has been hard to endure.

And Sylph opened the communication blankly, took a picture of this scene and sent it to Lin Ge.

She asked: So Your Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief have always been like this?

Lin Ge quickly replied: Ah yes yes yes, just get used to it.

A month later, they returned to Wall, the imperial star city now named Aslan, amid the welcome of the people.

After the establishment of the new imperial capital, the original sub-galaxies of the old empire were renamed the first galaxy, including the four star cities of Aslan, Elborn, Vasson, and Eden; the main galaxy was renamed the second galaxy, including Eternal Paradise, Purple Silk, Glory There are three major star cities in the dominion; the old solar system is the third galaxy, including the two star cities of Blue Mother Star and Mars.

A total of three-star system, nine-star city.

Today, the alien creatures in the Aslan star field have been wiped out, and people's living standards have more than doubled. The new palace, the White Emerald Palace, stands in the middle of the Star City.

Needless to say, His Majesty Kaios, Sylph is the queen and Lin Ge is the prince, all three of them are going to move into the palace.

Although Jiang Jianming is a courtier, no one is worried about letting such a patient live outside alone. As a result, Commander Aslan nominally got a mansion as a mansion, but in fact he also stayed in the palace every day.

Funny things happened.

In this seemingly majestic White Jade Palace, there lived a sick, weak and disabled human commander, and a majesty who "begged for nothing" to the commander.

There is also a queen who does not fall in love with Your Majesty, but instead engages in scientific research and medicine every day, and a Crown Prince who swears at His Majesty every day——

"Fuck, so why is the old lady, why is Kaios a daughter even as an alternate emperor!?"

One afternoon, Lin Ge finally collapsed, and pointed at Lean with tears in his eyes: "Obviously, the old lady is older than him!!"

The commander calmly held the bowl and drank the medicine: "What's the matter? When I picked you up, I took you half as my sister and half as my daughter."

——This kind of scene is really ashamed to be seen by outsiders.

The snow will melt, the spring of Aslan Star City is coming, and there are birds chirping outside.

Ryan was sitting by the sunny window watching government affairs. Hearing this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly turned his head: "So? Lin Ge is the commander's daughter, as well as my daughter. Since the commander thinks it's nothing, what relationship should you have with me? ?"

Jiang Jianming: "..."

No, the whereabouts are real.

On the other side, Sylph clapped his palm: "Hey, then I am His Majesty Kaios' nominal wife, and Lin Ge is His Majesty's nominal daughter, so Lin Ge wants to call me mother...?"

"Little girl, are you courting death!?"

Lin Ge pounced with his teeth and claws, scratched Sylph until he giggled, and slid behind Jiang Jianming to hide, "Your Excellency Commander, you take care of Lin Ge, she bullies people!"

Jiang Jianming shook his head helplessly. Le'an strode closer to Meteor and lifted the silver-haired girl up: "Tsk, while you are making trouble with you, watch out for bumping into him."

The shadows of the four people swayed mottledly on the warm golden floor, like free birds.

Due to various secrets, no servants were arranged in the depths of the huge palace, and the work of serving was handed over to intelligent machines, and they would not be disturbed if they laughed and laughed.

It is rare for time to be gentle at this moment.

This afternoon, Ryan, like a whim, pointed to the golden rose garden outside and said, let's take a photo.

They changed their formal clothes and went to the splendid back garden of the palace.

Four people, stand up.

- Click.

"very good."

The machine quickly developed a copy of the photo, and Ryan gestured with satisfaction, "Fold it like this and stuff it into the photo frame, it can be used as the official photo of the emperor and the queen."

Sylph tugged at Ryan's arm, and leaned on tiptoe to look at it: "Really, I'll save you another shot."

Lin Ge leaned on Jiang Jianming's shoulder and complained, "Aiya, why are you hiding from the camera, why don't you take another picture?"

Jiang Jianming smiled bitterly, first saying that it was too imprudent to keep this kind of thing, and after a while he said, "Forget it, give me a copy too."

... Later, they also recalled this moment countless times, this seemingly ordinary afternoon.

The horizon in the far sky is still shifting, and the universe is repeating birth and annihilation for hundreds of millions of years, but the weather in Aslan Star City is very good. In the back garden of the palace, the snow is about to melt and spring is coming.

Although they know that the road ahead is difficult, at least at this moment, everyone will have the illusion that the long night is over, fatigue and pain can be healed, and everything will get better and better.

Unfortunately.

Even if spring comes, there is a thing called Falling Spring Cold.

From the perspective of future generations, the early days of the founding of the country were definitely a difficult period, and it was not the same as the hardships of starting from scratch and conquering the world.

The real problems of the nine star cities are there, the old system and the old customs are entangled in the footsteps of the pioneers like rotten roots.

The hatred between the blue mother star and the Yongyuan people, the estrangement between the commoners and the nobles, and the most difficult racial issue.

The newly revised Imperial Code indirectly led to the burning of thirteen crippled human beings in Elborn Star City - some of the new human beings who were too radical were unacceptable. Such inferior people without crystal bones should have the same human rights as themselves.

[Whether it is to eliminate alien creatures or fight against the dark old empire, isn't it because of our new humans? ]

[The disabled human beings enjoy their success in the rear, and are protected by the new human beings day and night. How can they have the same social status as us! ? ]

[In the hundreds of years since the black wave radiation broke out, there has never been such a precedent! ]

Such voices are rampant.

Ryan had to work around the clock. Whenever the guards walked past the emperor's office, they could always see the lights on inside.

At the same time, the real crystal ore resources in the empire began to be seriously scarce.

"Your Majesty, according to our current real crystal mine revenue and expenditure, by the end of this year at the most, tranquilizers and drugs to treat crystal disorder will not be able to be supplied to all citizens."

In the office at night, Sylph whispered. She has now begun secretly participating in the New Empire's crystal particle research project under a false identity.

"By next year, it may be difficult to even make a drug. Research on the replacement of tranquilizers will be ... even more impossible."

Ryan stood by with a gloomy expression, watching Sylph list the data item by item.

He flipped through the information, "There are still many alien creatures in the empire, and I will send the imperial army to regularly clean up and collect real crystal ore from them... The research cannot be stopped."

Sylph shook his head in embarrassment, "I have calculated that the alien creatures in the empire are scattered and hidden, and the efficiency of clearing is very low. According to the most optimistic situation, it is... not enough."

"Then what do you say?"

Sylph was silent for two seconds and said softly: "If it is from the perspective of crystal particle scholars and doctors, I would suggest..."

"The empire will provide unified comfort for patients in the late stage of chronic crystal disorder, and don't let the patients suffer too much."

click! The crystal bone on Ryan's wrist burst out suddenly, crushing a corner of the table.

He slowly raised his head, stared at Sylph with scarlet eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "It's too late for the commander-in-chief."

"You want me to order him to be killed?"

"...!" Sylph tightened the corners of her lips, tears flashing in her eyes.

She wants to say that the commander-in-chief is also suffering very much now, and the treatments that he is secretly doing are so torturous that I never let me tell you.

She couldn't tell.

Sylph has seen too many patients with advanced chronic crystal disorder, most of whom have been overwhelmed by the disease, drooling, incontinent, talking nonsense, self-harming or hurting others.

In the end, they all went crazy and became a walking corpse who would only be paralyzed and rotten on the bed. What's the point?

At that time the soul in the body was shriveled, and death was not a punishment for them and their loved ones, but a relief.

But Commander Aslan was different.

He has always maintained his appearance. To endure the pain soberly, to live soberly day and night.

Occasionally better, he leaned back in the reclining chair or bed and flipped through a book. Or planning the empire with His Majesty seriously, or watching her play with Lin Ge with a smile, her eyes shining bright, like an ordinary patient.

Anyone who sees it like this will think like a knife: How can people just give up when they can still talk and laugh?

Although the crystal disorder is still terminally ill, what if there is a better tranquilizer or a new treatment method?

"Or," Sylph said in a trembling voice, "stop the free distribution of tranquilizers to the whole people, so that the true crystal ore can be distributed. But..."

The reason is very simple. As long as the free rationing of drugs is stopped and the prices are raised, a large number of poor people will give up or simply cannot afford to buy tranquilizers, and that part of the resources can be saved.

This seems to be blameless, and it does not restrict your purchase. Who can blame you if you can't afford it yourself?

But after doing so, is the new empire really the new empire they hoped for?

"All your bad ideas."

Ryan looked away lightly, "He won't agree."

Sylph first breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt his heart sink even more.

Ryan: "How much real crystal ore is needed to continue the research on tranquilizers. You come up with a number, and I will find a way."

...

That night, Sylph walked out of the emperor's room in despair.

The silver-haired girl walked back along the corridor overgrown with golden roses. She listened to her footsteps and looked at her shadow in the moonlight. Her mind was foggy.

She should do something.

She came to the Empire for this.

Suddenly, Sylph raised his head consciously and saw a figure leaning against the snow-white carved pillar.

Jiang Jianming turned his head and waved warmly, "Has Your Majesty murdered you?"

"No……!"

Sylph trotted two steps with the hem of her skirt, "Why did the commander come out, it's very cold at night."

Jiang Jianming shook his head and smiled, "I'm afraid he will bully you, come and see."

"Your Majesty is always in a hurry, and it's easy to lose his temper, but don't be afraid, he doesn't do anything with people now, it's just scary."

Sylph couldn't hold back all of a sudden, tears fell, and choked: "No... Your Majesty is very good..."

Jiang Jianming touched the girl's hair, he seemed to know everything.

"Didn't your majesty put you in charge of a scientific research base in the future? It's not good to cry so easily, there is no majesty."

He said, covering his lips with a handkerchief and coughing twice.

"Look at how well the flowers bloom in these palaces."

"It's all in bloom."

Sylph hummed blankly. Jiang Jianming's eyes were deep and deep, looking at the golden rose in the night, he suddenly reached out and grabbed a small robot flying in mid-air.

"But where did those withered roses go?"

Sylph shuddered, her back cold.

She saw Jiang Jianming open the little robot's belly, and it was full of trimmed golden roses.

In the thick night, withered flowers crowded together, which were the corpses of ugly roses.

Jiang Jianming said calmly: "The withered flowers should be cut off as soon as possible, so as not to damage the majesty of this palace or its own pride."

Sylph trembled: "Commander!!"

"—I know, but I still can't go."

Jiang Jianming turned back. Under the moonlight, his pale face was divided by shadows, looking cold and depressed, "I don't trust Your Majesty."

Sylph held her breath.

She heard her heart beat uncontrollably.

"When I first met His Majesty," Jiang Jianming said, "he was still a child, and he didn't have a view of good and evil in human society. He did things according to his mood."

"Over the years, I have taught him to be the city lord of Star City, taught him to be the leader of the rebel army, and taught him to be the emperor."

"I taught him to respect the weak, protect the people, know and employ people, and act with caution."

"It stands to reason that today he is already His Majesty the Great Emperor who created a new world, and I have nothing to guide him."

"Except the last one. I know I don't have much time left, and I don't know if I'll be able to teach him..."

Jiang Jianming raised his head and looked disappointed.

He sighed lightly, and a very light white mist spread out from his mouth:

"Lost me."

...

That night, Jiang Jianming and Sylph chatted until the early morning, and the office of Kaios the Great was also lit all night.

The next day, the emperor revealed his intentions for an interstellar expedition in the council chamber.

In the far interstellar ... there are also a large number of alien creatures.

If the expedition is successful, Xiaosheng can solve the urgent need, and Dasheng may be able to open up a stable interstellar channel and continue to obtain true crystal ore.

In this way, countless chronic crystal disorder patients in the empire have hope.
