Outside the White Emerald Palace, civil unrest continued for a long time.

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

As soon as the coronation ceremony was over, the crown prince and the newly crowned crown princess 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 irritated, and should have been fullThe ten-minute speech was shortened to ten sentences by Lin Song, and she turned around and ran away after she finished speaking; Empress Dowager Sylph, who lives in seclusion in the deep palace, is still sitting in the royal aircraft covered with white silk and satin this year, only for the public to seea shadow.

When the empress dowager also went down, the ceremony became completely boring.

Old Marshal Chen's face was so dark that he climbed onto the stage to save the scene under the begging eyes of the ceremony officials.

There is no way, the process that should be followed still has to be daring.Even if the spectators below have already lowered their heads and swiped the smart network visible to the naked eye, they have long been too lazy to look here...

...

White Emerald Palace, back garden.

Lin Song was lazily sitting on the rattan chair, holding the group photo of the founding emperor and empress in his arms.

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

There were footsteps approaching behind him.

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

Her full dress hadn't come off yet, and 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 I'm slow, maybe you slipped too casually."

The leader of the Black Shark base stood behind the emperor at some point, "Did Your Majesty cry just now?"

"Yeah, it was so unexpected that I was so scared that I cried."

The female emperor laughed, and her red righteous eyes shone with a gleam: "It's like I never thought that the little bastard would be so hard-hearted after knowing the truth about the crystal nest, and leave Mingming to die."

"But today he came here again, alas... Do you think he is an asshole, or is he not an asshole?"

"..." The leader hesitated for a moment, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed slowly without opening his mouth.

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

She squinted her eyes and turned her head, letting the wind blow her 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 covered by an iron mask, it gave the impression that she was looking at the photo in the emperor's arms.

"It's like when the horn of the expedition is about to sound again, they still stand side by side on the top of the White Emerald Palace, and we watch them."

Lin Song's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a strange luster emerged from his still intact right eye under the eyelashes.

A few seconds later, she pursed her red lips in an arc: "Is it about to start?"

"The side effects of the third-generation tranquilizers have been basically eliminated, and they will soon be put into general use."

The leader said indifferently: "The fifth experiment of the mech's mind manipulation technology was also very successful. I'm going to let Yin Beidou in the third fortress have a try first."

Lin Song raised his eyebrows: "Soon."

Leader: "It's a matter of course. His Majesty used the guise of conscription to help the base forcefully arrest many big mecha masters."

Lin Song waved his hands, lowered his head and smiled, "No way, the state of war, the state of war."

The two of them chatted casually again.Lin Song straightened up suddenly, using 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 said, he casually stretched out his hand to the side, but what his fingertips touched was the cold black armor glove.

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

"What nonsense." Lin Song sighed like a howl, raising his hand to mess up his long hair, ignoring the jewelry and hair accessories to jingle to the ground, "It's been more than fifty years, those two bastards threw this mess to me, youI don't want to see me again..."

The black hair fell from the empress' fingers, she lowered her head and propped her forehead, and said with a quiet expression: "calculate the time, it is indeed almost the last moment."

"Sometimes I think, I have worked so hard to make the empire look like it is now, even in his eyes, I should barely pass it, right?"

"But I thought again, can this battle really be won?"

Lin Song said sadly: "If you can't win, what's the point of all this?"

The leader bent down and picked up the emperor's hair accessories, and put them on a small table beside him: "You shouldn't think about those."

"why?"

"Because you are a real fool, Your Majesty." The leader concluded very naturally, "What you don't understand is that fighting with a knife is more suitable for you."

Lin Song was stunned for two seconds, and then with a snort, she began to laugh out loud, and patted the armrest of the chair boldly and back and forth.

Until the tears were also laughed out, the empress 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 miss..." Lin Song smiled, with tears in his eyes, trying to recite each word, "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 hugged the golden photo frame in her arms even tighter.

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

"And you."

Lin Song said with a sad smile.

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

The leader breathed a sigh of relief, and still replied with an inorganic electronic voice: "I know, Lin Song."

The wind of the white Emerald Palace blows between the two, and the branches and grass in the late winter rustle.

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

Lin Song lowered her eyes, she put the heavy portrait of the emperor on her legs, solemnly opened the rose gold-edged photo frame, and slowly took out the paper photo from it.

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

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

However, as Lin Song lifted the photo up, the mystery was revealed - its four directions of up, down, left and right were all folded in.

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

Lin Song unfolded the upper and lower sides first, and the photo 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 right now, just stand up and take two steps.

Then, she uncovered the right corner.

As soon as the corner on the right was opened, there was an extra person in this photo that should have only been the emperor and the empress.

That was clearly the current female emperor, Lin Song herself, who was still the heir apparent back then.Lin Songbi in the photo looks younger now, with her arms wrapped around Queen Sylph's left arm without a bouquet, showing a bright and naughty smile.

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

The leader watched silently, motionless.For some reason, she put her hand on Lin Song's shoulder.

After a long time, about two or three minutes later, Lin Song slowly uncovered the folded corner on the left side.

Her fingers were a little stiff.It seems to be standing in front of the old friend's door, and it takes courage to push it away.

The left corner is also opened.

The bright sunlight fell on the shimmering gold fringe tassels. It was an old imperial field marshal's uniform.

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

Looking down, there was no crystal condensation on his wrist, and he was considered an inferior disabled human being in that era.

The reason why he couldn't "escape" was that his hands were clasped by Emperor Kaios beside him, his wrists were crossed, and his fingers were tightly interlocked.

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

However, with the amorous feelings 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 being held by Lin Song's arm in a ruffian way, it turned into a smile that was half reproachful and half shy, and more beautiful and lively.

——The sky in the photo is as clear and light blue as it is today sixty-four years later, and the sunlight is slanting 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 Song, Empress Silph Song, New Emperor Kaios, and the founding commander Dawn, who has hardly left a real face in the records of the empire. Aslan.

Behind it is the golden rose garden of the White Emerald Palace, where bullfinches and young pigeons are parked among the woven vine racks.Each of them looked so relaxed, as if they had finally arrived at a peaceful paradise after wading through the flames of war and stardust.

Here, everyone can enjoy the rest of the scarred body and mind.

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

"..."

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

A hand hidden under the cold black armor stretched out.

Quietly caught the teardrop.

White outside Emerald Palace.

The process of the ceremony has just finished, but the crowd has not dispersed yet.

But it's no wonder, it's rare that there are so many big figures gathered together, whether it's talking about business, building relationships, or watching the fun, there's no harm in staying a little longer.

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

"Excuse me."

Donna Sektor held up her dress indifferently and passed by Kevin.

When the two passed by, the chain on her wrist flickered.It is inlaid with eight red agates that have been polished into round beads, and it can be seen that the cost is expensive.

For a moment, Kevin only felt a cold current rushing from his head to the soles of his feet, making his limbs stiff with fright.

It is exactly the same shape and luster as the gemstone I just picked up in Lauren's house!

When she came back to her senses, the lady wearing the bracelet had already left.

Kevin was struck by lightning, when suddenly someone pushed him.The young man staggered two steps before standing still, and raised his head in panic...

Only then did he realize that he had come to the circle where nobles and other high-class people gathered, and many people looked at his plain, sweat-drenched clothes and walked away with a faint frown.

The hot blood in his head seemed to have cooled down, and Kevin's teeth chattered, and he looked around again in a daze.

In the dark, he vaguely felt that this matter might be more urgent and dangerous than he imagined.But Senior Jiang is not here, and he has no one he knows...

Suddenly, Kevin's eyes lit up 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 he spoke with a smile.From a distance, it looks elegant like a snow lotus on an iceberg.

But Kevin has seen a kinder side of this gentleman before. 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 make friends with him, then we are also friends."

Kevin wiped the sweat off his face indiscriminately, gritted his teeth to suppress his inferiority complex, and mustered up the courage to squeeze forward, shouting out of breath, "Lan...Your Excellency Lance!"

Audley Lance turned around upon hearing the sound.

Kevin was afraid that the other party would not take him seriously, or even forget him at all, so he hurriedly stammered out his request: "Hello, I want to find...Senior Jiang! Not...Colonel Jiang! I have something very important,No, it's urgent—"

"You are...Jiang Kevin?"

Audley quickly recognized the young man he had met before the New Year's Eve. He was a cadet of Keos' military academy and Jiang's junior.

However, at this moment, beads of sweat hung from the child's hair, he was out of breath and couldn't speak clearly, his face was pale, and his legs were still shaking.Sensitively aware of something abnormal, Audley raised his hand and said "excuse me" to the nobles in the party.

Seeing the silver-haired young man walking out of the crowd, Kevin was a little dazed, and saw His Excellency Lance put his hands on his shoulders, with a sense of comfort.

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