In the next ten minutes, under Zheng Yue's dazed eyes, Jiang Jianming quickly explained what he knew, and by the way, he also reported the bullying of Brandon's family a few days ago.

The face of the old marshal on the opposite side of the projection was always calm, while Jiang Jianming was wearing a headset, which made Zheng Yue unable to hear what they were communicating.

After a series of short answers such as "Yes", "No", "Okay", "I understand", the lieutenant Yin Beidou can only be heard saying goodbye to the projection, hanging up the communication and turning around.

Jiang Jianming: "Old Marshal Chen said that he will send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter, don't worry."

Zheng Yue smiled dryly, the muscles on his face were obviously cramping.The man waved his hands again and again: "Don't, brother, let's be honest. You won't be my best friend. Seeing that I've been too depressed these days, please invite Aslan's chief magician—"

Jiang Jianming: "No."

Zheng Yue's face was colorful, and he broke down: "Maybe my wife has a hard time resenting me and hired a hacker to punish me!? Your projection is fake, ah, isn't it fake?"

"... Sir, your imagination is too rich."

Jiang Jianming walked to the window, and swiped open the hanging curtains: "Let's see where this is."

Zheng Yue poked his head in a daze, and saw a piece of delicate and scattered white buildings.

"Where is this?"

"watch carefully."

Zheng Yue said in a daze, "Why does this look so much like Emerald Palace?"

Jiang Jianming said calmly, "It's Bai Emerald Palace."

"..."

Zheng Yue froze for a few seconds and rolled his eyes.

Jiang Jianming quickly said: "Don't be dizzy! I can't move you if you are dizzy."

Poor Zheng Yue could only turn his eyeballs back again. He sat down on the floor, his face was pale, and he wanted to cry without tears: "Your Excellency! What are you..."

Jiang Jianming couldn't help but hooked his lips. He didn't say that this was the room used by the former crown prince, but only said that he would take Zheng Yue to live in another place and let him go out with him.

In fact, he deliberately communicated with Marshal Chen to complain in front of Zheng Yue, and he had other thoughts inside.

Although Jiang Jianming was 80% convinced that what this person said was true from the perspective of the narrow escape, it was still necessary to be careful.

He purposely called the old marshal in front of this uncle with righteous indignation, just to see his reaction.The headset was hung up during the communication to prevent Zheng Yue from directly hearing the old marshal's decision-making.

But now, look at Uncle Zheng's reaction...

Jiang Jianming couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself: If he really came to play him, his acting skills would be exaggerated to the point of transcendence.

Soon, the two walked out of the palace building. Jiang Jianming took Zheng Yue to walk on the beautifully carved corridors. Under the corridors were unmelted snow.The robot floated past them.

For Zheng Yue, he would never have the opportunity to step into the depths of the White Emerald Palace in his lifetime, at most he would just patrol the outside.

So as if falling into a dream, he stared blankly for a long time before saying, "Why is there... why is there no one in this palace?"

Jiang Jianming patted the small robot passing by, and said warmly: "The Bai Emerald Palace is decorated with classics, but the inside is almost fully intelligent. Because the fewer living people, the less likely it is for criminals to lurk in."

Speaking of this, he thought of someone, "Otherwise, why no one has seen the Empress Dowager Sylph in the deep palace, because there is almost no need for servants in the palace."

Zheng Yue was placed in the guest room in the side hall.It was getting late at this time, Jiang Jianming said: "You should stay here first, and act with me tomorrow, and we will investigate the problem you mentioned."

Zheng Yue was terrified, rubbing his nose embarrassingly: "Your Excellency, do you really want me to live in Bai Emerald Palace? Even if you have a noble status, this is not...not appropriate."

"There is nothing wrong with it. A room is built to be lived in. No matter where it is built, it will not change its nature."

Jiang Jianming said calmly, and used his authority to open the door of the room and the nearby surveillance cameras, "The palace occupies such a large area, but it is unreasonable to have more than half of it empty for 300 days a year."

He turned around and gave Zheng Yue a gentle smile mysteriously: "However, there are many secrets in the deep palace. If you see something unscientific in the future... I mean, for example, people who you think should not appear here..."

"Remember to tell yourself that the problem is not big, don't panic too much."

...

After hiding Uncle Zheng Yue, Jiang Jianming didn't have time to take a break and eat something, and turned around in the White Emerald Palace against the cold wind.

On the way, Kevin, a young man from the military academy, sent him a message, asking why he wasn't in the dormitory.

Jiang Jianming said that he had something to do and couldn't give them lectures for the time being, so he sent a few packs of documents as a gift for them to write and play as homework.

After putting away his wrist phone, he folded his coat and coughed lightly twice, his eyes were empty.

The afterglow in the west is sinking to the other side of the horizon.The sky is getting dark, time is never waiting for anyone, and unresolved problems are one after another, but it will be night again today.

More than an hour later, Jiang Jianming saw Garcia standing at the end of the corridor.There was a tall fountain column with gurgling water flowing at the top, and that figure was leaning on the white column.

Jiang Jianming walked over and stood still a few steps away.

At this time, the winter sky was completely dark, and the intelligent sensor lights of the White Emerald Palace lit up one by one from far away.

Garcia doesn't look back or look at him.The voice was cold: "It's late, what are you doing here?"

"Too many things got in the way, so it was so late." Jiang Jianming squinted his eyes, and from his perspective, the lights in the distance looked like a hazy patch of fireflies.

"There is nothing to say between you and me."

Garcia was silent for a few seconds, during which the sound of water from the fountain column overwhelmed the breathing of the two.Until he spoke again: "Let go of your obsession, this is my last advice."

Jiang Jianming said: "Is an obsession that can be let go easily still called an obsession?"

"Then I can tell you one thing." Garcia's tone became even lower, "Your authority in the White Emerald Palace has actually been forcibly shut down by the empire long ago. I will restart it for you."

"..."

Jiang Jianming was silent for two seconds, and said, "Really."

He added, "Then... thank you."

Garcia turned around, and Jiang Jianming saw that he was playing with a hovering robot in his hand. When he let go of his hand, the little thing flew away.

"Don't thank me, I just pity you."

Garcia's eyes were pierced with cold sarcasm: "It doesn't matter if the surname is Chen, a front-line general like Xie Yuduo, or the leader of the Black Shark Base, including high-ranking nobles,Minister... On the surface, I call you Your Excellency respectfully, but in fact, who has given you the treatment of a real crown prince's widow?"

"Even this little respect and love on the surface is what you got in exchange for three years of tolerance and wit. If you don't fight or grab, they can leave you with a little pity. When the empire finds out about your arrogance, who can protect you??nobody."

When the robot flew by, Jiang Jianming saw the tracking red dots displayed on the screen.

He immediately realized that it was his position. In this magnificent intelligent palace, his every move would be easily monitored by the owner with higher authority.

Jiang Jianming closed his eyes, as if something heavy weighed down his spine, he panted softly and said in a hoarse voice: "...I know, I know everything."

"..."

Garcia pursed his lips irritably, and suddenly said, "You..."

Jiang Jianming: "What?"

Garcia's Adam's apple twitched, and he frowned sullenly, seeming to swallow something back into his throat.

"Give it up, go back to your room to sleep tonight, and leave White Jade Palace tomorrow...leave me. Don't go back to Yin Beidou either."

"The existence of Lai An has indeed dissipated in the world. I can't back down my position for you. The so-called truth is not something that a cripple like you deserves to touch."

Jiang Jianming: "...Am I not worthy?"

Garcia looked at Jiang Jianming's pale face, and he understood how hurtful what he was going to say.He once saw with his own eyes how Jiang Jianming worked hard all the way to surpass the shackles of the natural race.All this is for Prince Lai An.

And now, with this Lai An's face on his face, he will drop this scarred and fiery heart from his palm, and then step on the ground.

The sky in the distance seems to be darker, and the clouds do not give a little moonlight.Garcia turned his head and stopped looking at Jiang Jianming, his long hair curled up and down in the wind.

"You should understand one thing in your heart."

When he opened his lips, he uttered words very slowly, like a cruel Ling Chi, "At the beginning you were able to leave the adaptation period officer in advance and act as a formal silver Beidou lieutenant because I wanted to leave you."

Garcia caressed the chopping comet on his wrist. This action was to imply to the other party that you even threw your only A-level mecha snow dove at the bottom of the river.

If he can't get it back, Jiang Jianming will only have the most basic M-Jidian 18 available for him in the future.

"Later, the reason why you were able to break the conspiracy of the space pirates and save hundreds of people was because I had the ability to bring a crippled human into the battlefield. Apart from me, no one else in the fortress would have such confidence."

The gurgling sound of the fountain water column seemed to be far away, Jiang Jianming sighed: "...Yes."

"So you see, you are not as capable as you imagined at all, and I will stop taking care of you in the future, and there will be no place for you in the Silver Beidou."

Garcia said, "What can you do about being abandoned by everyone."

Jiang Jianming said, "I have no choice."

"Then there is no point in persevering. Even if you return to the army, you will only consume yourself to death."

Garcia lowered his eyelashes, and with this movement, most of the cold, cruel aggressiveness around him was restrained: "Enough, my warning ends here, you should go."

After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth tightly. Although he let Jiang Jianming go, he turned around and walked away first.

Jiang Jianming saw Garcia walking towards him, and the two passed by quickly, with a thin friction sound between the clothes.The prince didn't stop.

"original."

Jiang Jianming spoke suddenly.

"Even if my military achievements are not recognized by the fortress, I can continue to stay in Silver Beidou for at least one year as an officer in the adaptation period,"

Jiang Jianming took a deep breath, and his cold voice was a little rough, "It was you who said that night, "Will you come with me, so I went with you."

Garcia's pupils shrank slightly.

... These light words seemed to have a special power, like a sharp knife cutting through flesh and blood, easily surpassing the ridicule and insult he had been brewing for Jiang Jianming for a long time.

Garcia's chest heaved violently twice.

He gritted his teeth and looked away.

"If you leave me now, frankly, there is nothing I can do."

Jiang Jianming continued, the astringency in his tone gradually turned into a vibrato, "I can only accept the ridicule from fate again like three years ago, and taste the knife stabbed into my body by the same person."

Garcia suddenly turned around: "What are you talking about!?"

"—I want to tell you that three years ago, Leian Keos said goodbye to me before he died. He admitted that he destroyed my life. He wanted to use me as a victim for a certain purpose.”

An expression of disbelief appeared on Garcia's face, before he even had time to refute Jiang Jianming's "same person", he blurted out: "This is impossible."

Jiang Jianming: "There is nothing impossible."

"Because you love him." Garcia said coldly, "It is impossible for your character to fall in love with someone who would treat you like that."

"Then what do you think I'm doing standing here now?"

This determined tone made Jiang Jianming so angry that his temples throbbed and hurt, and even his eyes turned black.He coughed twice and sneered angrily:

"Here I am, Your Highness Garcia. You strangled my neck and pulled my ring, released crystal bones to threaten me, belittled me and insulted me with words, and said that you would abandon me, but I am still standing here, breaking with you from the beginning.These, why?"

"You are... that's enough, I don't want to hear from you tonight." Garcia suddenly became irritable, "Go back to my room."

Jiang Jianming was also annoyed by him, and said coldly: "Kaios, you have no position to control me now. You can leave, but you can't keep me from talking."

He went on like this, using declarative language without emotion, starting from his acquaintance and love with Lai An, and then talking about the sudden parting and death.

The former is mentioned in a few words, but the latter is detailed to the point of depressing.

Garcia's face became more and more ugly, and he tried to interrupt several times, but Jiang Jianming turned a deaf ear.He turned around to leave, but Jiang Jianming followed him stubbornly, three steps behind him.

The prince was forced to finish listening to this suffocating story, and finally Jiang Jianming sarcastically used a hoarse voice:

"After all, why are you so resistant? After all, you are not Lai An, and you don't love me anymore."

Garcia's fingers were pinched softly by him, he stopped, and said angrily without warning: "Shut up! Stop arguing."

Jiang Jianming: "It's you who have been arguing, what a bad temper."

"I told you to shut up..." Garcia suddenly turned around and took two steps, the distance between the two was erased.

With a violent and terrifying expression, he grasped Jiang Jianming's arm, and said in a terribly hoarse voice, "You have a fever."

"..."

Jiang Jianming was stunned for a moment, "...what?"

It took him a long time to frown slowly and come back to his senses, only then did he realize that Garcia's hand holding him was cold.

"I said, you have a fever, don't you realize it yourself? Jiang Jianming, are you a creature that can't survive on your own!?"

However, Garcia seemed to be completely ignited. His eyes were red, and he roared in dismay: "Or, are you using this method to force me? Are you so embarrassed that there is only such a despicable method left!?"

"..." Jiang Jianming's mind was buzzing, and he couldn't think of what to say for a while.

He was a little dizzy and out of breath, but he was pulled by Garcia all the time, and he heard the latter say in a trembling voice, "Listen, Jiang Jianming, stop here."

No, Jiang Jianming shook his head, thinking that he would never stop here.I heard Garcia say again: "Let's make a deal, and I will satisfy you."

"I will go to the crystal nest, I will fight the empire, I will find the whereabouts of Lai An and the truth you want. Is this person alive or dead, what is he and me, I will give you the truth within three yearsAn explanation."

"In exchange, you must promise me." Garcia's wrists were tense, and he looked at Jiang Jianming fixedly, then suddenly took off his coat and wrapped him tightly.

It was like a gentle hug—even though the prince's eyes were as cold as iron.

"You stay here and don't go to the front line again."

Jiang Jianming raised his face in shock.

"Don't take risks, don't go crazy, stop everything you are tossing about. Let your life return to the normal track before you met Ryan Keos."

Garcia paused, and suddenly wiped the cold sweat off Jiang Jianming's forehead with his fingertips, "That's it, a very simple request."

Jiang Jianming didn't give an answer, his figure became thinner in His Highness's arms, as if he was about to dissolve in the night.

He just stared blankly at Garcia's eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly began to cough again, trembling and quietly leaning against the other's chest, with indelible sadness welling up in his eyes.

Garcia didn't push him away this time, but patted him on the back and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so sad."

Jiang Jianming closed his eyes and shook his head, and said hoarsely, "I haven't, Your Highness."

Garcia said, "Don't call me Your Highness, I've said it before."

Jiang Jianming stopped talking, but the trembling of his body became more and more severe, and his suppressed cough became more and more severe, as if he was enduring a kind of collapse.

Garcia was silent for two seconds, and said, "Forget it, you can do whatever you want."

Anyway, when he goes to Yinbeidou, they won't meet again.

Jiang Jianming didn't call that "Your Highness" again, but just lay quietly in Garcia's arms.After a while, he stretched out his hand to smooth the man's long messy hair and put it behind his ears.

He said he was not sad, but he knew it was a lie.

The fact is that he was suddenly hit by great sadness, even when he first found out that Garcia no longer recognized him, even when Garcia spoke coldly to him, he had never felt such sadness.

Sudden, irresistible sadness.

late.Jiang Jianming closed his eyes, thinking sourly.

He has set his life on fire for this.

Now, he can't stop no matter what.

The author has something to say: Garcia: Save you for the last time.

Garcia: Last advice to you.

Garcia: In the last few days, asked you to call Your Highness.

Garcia: ...Don't be sad, come hug (while getting rua's hair
