Lin Song is right.

Quarrel, automatic reconciliation after quarrel, quarrel again, reconciliation... The fixed cycle filled the time between Jiang Jianming and Lai An.

As for the naming of the new imperial capital, the commander-in-chief had no knowledge of it before, and the news made him so angry that he almost fell ill——

Nonsense, Woerna is the capital of the new empire. The capital is not named after the founding emperor but a courtier. It is simply ridiculous!

Whose empire has this empire become!?

Jiang Jianming felt distressed and annoyed, so he simply left His Majesty lukewarm for three days.And Lai An was also playing with anger, he didn't even take a look, just pretending that he didn't know this person.

Stiff until the fourth night, the two of them sighed at the same time—forget it, they can still get away from each other.

They were all about to bow their heads and give in to coax the other, but they bumped into each other halfway.

The evening breeze was blowing, and surprised eyes met.Just one look at each other, nothing to say.

So the emperor walked back side by side, sat in the commander's room and ate some supper, chatting about whether to reorganize the army.

——Looked at Sylph who came over for a routine examination for the commander in a daze.

When the business was over, Jiang Jianming leaned on the reclining chair, and at some point had already put on 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, so don't be angry, can you?"

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

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

"..."

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

Lai An squinted her eyes and snorted, not like she was demonstrating, but more like acting like a baby.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, His Majesty the Emperor reached out and hugged the drowsy commander in his arms, showing a satisfied look.

...That's right, the three-day cold war has been very hard to endure.

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

She asked: So Your Majesty and Your Excellency the Commander, have they always been like this?

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

A month later, they returned to Wall amidst the crowd's welcome, which is also the star city of the imperial capital named Aslan.

After the establishment of the new imperial capital, the original secondary galaxy of the old empire was renamed the first galaxy, including the four star cities of Aslan, Elborn, Watson, and Eden; the main galaxy was renamed the second galaxy, including Eternal Paradise, Purple Silk, GloryThe three star cities of 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 systems, 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 Star City, and it is elegantly built, with bright golden roses blooming all over the sky.

Needless to say, His Majesty Keos, Sylph is the queen, Lin Song is the prince, and 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 obtained a mansion as his mansion, but actually stayed in the palace every day.

Funny things happened.

In this seemingly majestic White Emerald Palace, lived a sick and disabled human commander, and lived a majesty who "couldn't ask for more" from the commander.

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

"Damn it, so why on earth is my mother, why is she a daughter to Kaios when she is an alternate emperor!?"

One afternoon, Lin Song finally broke down, pointing at Lai An wanting to cry without tears: "Obviously my mother is older than him!!"

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

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

The snow is about to melt, and the spring in Aslan Star City is coming soon, and there are birds chirping outside.

Lai An was sitting by the sunny window watching government affairs. Hearing the words, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he turned his head quickly: "So? Lin Song is the commander's daughter, and also my daughter. Since the commander thinks it's nothing, then what should you and I be?"relation?"

Jiang Jianming: "..."

No, the whereabouts of the population is confirmed.

On the other side, Sylph clapped her palms: "Hey, then I'm His Majesty Kaios' wife in name, and Lin Song is His Majesty's daughter in name, so Lin Song wants to call me mother...?"

"Little girl, are you looking for death!?"

Lin Song rushed over with all his teeth and claws, scratching Sylph into a giggle, and then slid to hide behind Jiang Jianming, "Your Excellency, take care of Lin Song, she bullies people!"

Jiang Jianming shook his head helplessly.Lai An approached with strides, and lifted the silver-haired girl up: "Tsk, you guys are going to make trouble on your side, be careful not to bump into him."

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

Due to various ulterior secrets, there are no servants and servants arranged in the depths of the huge palace, and the work of serving is handed over to smart machines, so you can laugh and laugh without being disturbed.

Time is rarely gentle at this moment.

This afternoon, Lai An seemed to have a whim, pointing to the Golden Rose Garden outside and said, let's take a photo.

They changed their formal attire 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 Lai An gestured with satisfaction, "Fold it like this, stuff it into a photo frame, and use it as an official photo of the emperor and empress."

Sylph grabbed Ryan's arm, stood on tiptoe and leaned over to look: "Really, I won't need to take another shot."

Lin Song put Jiang Jianming's shoulders and complained: "Oh, what are you doing hiding from the camera, why don't you take another shot?"

Jiang Jianming smiled wryly, first said it was too imprudent to keep such things, and then said after a while: "Forget it, give me a copy too."

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

The horizon of the distant sky is still moving, and the universe has been reborn and annihilated for billions 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 such an illusion: the long night is over, fatigue and pain can be healed, and everything will be better and better in the future.

Unfortunately.

Even if spring is here, there is something called cold spring.

From the perspective of later generations, the early days of the founding of the country were definitely a difficult period, and it was not the same kind of hardship as starting from scratch to conquer the world.

The real problems of the Nine Star Cities lie there. The old system and old customs are like rotten roots that entangle the pioneers.

The hatred between the Blue Mother Planet and the Yongyuan people, the gap between the common people and the nobles, and the most difficult issue of race.

The newly revised imperial code indirectly caused thirteen disabled humans in Albion Star City to be burned alive - some radical new humans could not accept that such inferior people without crystal bones should enjoy the same human rights as themselves.

[Whether it is to wipe out alien creatures or fight against the dark old empire, isn’t it our new humans?]

[Disabled human beings enjoy their success in the rear, and are protected by new human beings day and night, so why do they have the same social status as us!?]

[There has never been such a precedent in the hundreds of years since the black wave radiation erupted!]

Such voices are rampant.

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

At the same time, the true crystal mineral resources in the empire began to be seriously scarce.

"Your Majesty, based on our current income and expenditure of true crystal mines, by the end of this year at most, tranquilizers and drugs for treating 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 even be difficult to make medicines. The research on the replacement of tranquilizers... will not be possible."

Lai An stood aside 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. I will send the imperial army to regularly clean them up and collect real crystal mines from them...the research can't stop."

Sylph shook her head in embarrassment, "I have calculated that the alien creatures in the empire are scattered and concealed, and the efficiency of eradication 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: "From the perspective of crystal particle scholars and healers, I would suggest..."

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

Click!The crystal bone on Lai An's wrist exploded suddenly, crushing a corner of the table.

He raised his head slowly, stared at Sylph with scarlet eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "The commander-in-chief is already in the late stage."

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

"...!" Sylph pursed her lips tightly, and tears glistened in her eyes.

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

She couldn't tell.

Sylph has seen too many patients in the late stage of chronic crystal disorder, the vast majority of them have been overwhelmed by the disease, drooling, incontinence, talking nonsense, self-harm or hurting others.

In the end, they all went crazy and stupid, and became a walking corpse that can only be paralyzed and rotted on the bed. What's the point?

At that time, the soul in the body had shriveled up, 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 own appearance.Suffering soberly, living soberly day and night.

Occasionally, when he is better, he leans on the recliner or bed and flips through books.Either seriously planning the empire with His Majesty, or watching her play with Lin Song with a smile, with a clear light in her eyes, like an ordinary patient.

Anyone who sees this look will have a heart-wrenching thought: People can talk and laugh, how can they just give up like this?

Although Jing Chao is still terminally ill, what if there is a better tranquilizer and a new treatment method?

"Or," Sylph trembled, "stop the free distribution of tranquilizers to the population, so that the eumite can be smoothed out. But..."

The reason is very simple, as long as the free distribution of drugs is stopped and the price is increased to sell them, a large number of poor people will give up buying or simply be unable to buy tranquilizers, and that part of resources will be saved.

This seems to be blameless, and there is no restriction on 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 were looking forward to?

"Give me a bad idea."

Lai An looked away lightly, "He won't agree."

Sylph breathed a sigh of relief first, but then felt her heart sink even deeper.

Lai An: "How much true crystal ore is needed to continue the research on tranquilizers. Come up with a figure, and I'll figure it out."

...

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

The silver-haired girl walked back along the corridor full of golden roses. She listened to her footsteps and looked at her own shadow in the moonlight, her mind was foggy.

She should do something about it.

She came to the Empire for this.

Suddenly, Sylph looked up consciously, and saw a figure leaning against the snow-white carved pillar.

Jiang Jianming turned his head and waved warmly: "Has Your Majesty killed you?"

"No……!"

Sylph trotted for two steps, holding 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 always loses his temper easily when he is in a hurry, but don't be afraid, he doesn't fight with anyone now, it's just a frightening air."

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

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

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

He said, covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice.

"Look at the flowers in the palace, how beautiful they are."

"It's all in bloom."

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

"But those withered roses, where did they go?"

Sylph shivered, her back was cold.

She saw Jiang Jianming open the belly of the little robot, which was filled with pruned golden roses.

In the thick night, withered flowers huddled together, it was the corpse of an ugly rose.

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, nor damage its own pride."

Sylph trembled with fear: "Commander!!"

"—Although I know it, I can't go yet."

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

Sylph held his breath.

She heard her heart beating uncontrollably.

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

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

"I once taught him to respect the weak, protect the people, know people and employ them, and think carefully."

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

"Except for the last one. I know I don't have much time left, and I don't know if I can teach him in time..."

Jiang Jianming raised his head with a sad look on his face.

He sighed softly, and a thin white mist spread from his mouth:

"Lose me."

...

That night, Jiang Jianming chatted with Sylph until the early hours of the morning, and the lights in Emperor Kaios' office were lit all night.

The next day, the emperor expressed his intention for an interstellar expedition in the council hall.

Far interstellar... There are also a large number of alien creatures.

If the expedition is successful, a small victory can solve the urgent need, and a big victory may be able to open up a stable interstellar channel to continuously obtain true crystal mines.

In this way, there is hope for countless chronic crystal disorder patients in the empire.
