Only Governor Chuhe and Consort Zhen remained in the main hall at this mont.
"Chu Changhe, what are your thoughts on what just happened?" Consort Zhen asked.
Governor Chuhe smiled slightly: "Whatever the Princess wishes to think, I will think."
"You cunning old fox!" Consort Zhen sneered. "Besides the little princess being the key figure in that matter just now, there was another crucial person I didn't ntion at all."
This is obviously referring to the adulterous queen in the story!
That's the crux of the matter, you should know.
Normally, Consort Zhen should have sent soone to summon the Empress for interrogation right there in the main hall.
Another unusual thing is that, as I ntioned before, it's quite strange. Given their status, if the Star Emperor wasn't present, then the person presiding over the event should have been the Empress, not a re princess like her.
"You haven't ntioned the Empress at all, but did you ntion His Majesty's sudden serious illness?" Governor Chuhe said coldly.
"Didn't I say in the hall before that His Majesty wasn't attending the award ceremony in person because he wasn't feeling well?" Consort Zhen turned her back to Governor Chuhe.
“Is that so...” Governor Chuhe stared at Consort Zhen.
Consort Zhen continued, "Yesterday you invited the Empress to your courtyard overnight, and she has not returned since."
Perhaps this is sowhat inappropriate.
I will send soone to fetch the Empress shortly.
"No need. The Empress is in poor health and spirits because of the death of the First Prince. She is depressed and unhappy."
Let the Empress recuperate in the residence His Majesty has bestowed upon for the ti being.
You also want to stay on the capital planet, right? Then I'll stay in my courtyard.
Want to take the Empress away? Then your n can try.
"Or perhaps you could take to see His Majesty first, and maybe I'll change my mind!" After saying this, Governor Chuhe turned and left, completely disregarding Consort Zhen's feelings.
Consort Zhen watched Governor Chuhe's departing figure with so anger.
"That old bastard!"
"Sister, don't be anxious."
"Everything is now under our control!" Huang Zhixiong and Qin Ming returned at this mont and appeared in front of Consort Zhen.
That's right, Consort Zhen is Huang Zhixiong's older sister.
The Huang family, to which Huang Zhixiong belongs, owes its current status to Consort Zhen, which is why Huang Zhixiong was able to obtain the position of Five-Star Marshal.
"Uncle is right. As long as my brother kills that little bitch, the throne will be mine!" Qin Ming sneered.
Consort Zhen rubbed her temples and said with so worry, "But with that old bastard Chu Changhe still around, I still feel a little uneasy."
Now he's even more protective of that woman, the Empress! Who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause, insisting on seeing...seeing His Majesty.
Qin Ming laughed and said, "If he wants to protect the Empress, then let him. Without her children, what is an Empress afraid of?"
Now, the Lü family of the Central Star Region has ford a marriage alliance with us. I married Miss Lü, and the Lü family and that Lü family marshal are on our side!
The younger brother also married into the Ma family in the Pegasus constellation!
The Huang family of the Azure Starfield is our clan, and the Azure Governor also supports us!
Prince Yan and the Bai family of the Xueyan Star Region have both tacitly approved of our actions.
After we promised them a large amount of resources, the Su family in the Purple Perilla Star Region also turned to our side!
And the current Azure Moon Starfield!
We directly control more than half of the power map of our Starry Empire's eight major star regions!
Once everything is ready, we will release the news of Father's serious illness and coma.
Then I can rightfully seize the throne!
How much trouble can the remaining Chuhe Star Region and Beifeng Star Region cause?
"That's right, our Huang family will do everything in our power to ensure that His Highness Qin Ming ascends the throne!" Huang Zhixiong said excitedly, his eyes seemingly already seeing his bright future.
So what if Chu Changhe is capable and talented?
Could he possibly be comparable to the current emperor's uncle?
At that ti, the Huang family will be the largest family in the Starry Empire.
"I hope everything goes smoothly." Consort Zhen clutched her chest. Compared to her son and brother, she was more of a little woman.
During this period, she hasn't had a single day of restful sleep while handling all these matters.

Just then, Qin Ming's terminal flashed with a communication notification. He glanced at it, chuckled, and said to his mother and uncle, "Look. This is a communication request from the forr governor of the Cangyue Star Region."
As he spoke, he clicked on it.
There stood an elderly man across from , leaning on a cane.
Kneeling beside him was a middle-aged man, his hands and feet cuffed, his mouth beaten shut, and he was delirious.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Second Prince and Consort Zhen. This old man begs for forgiveness!" The old Governor Cangyue adopted a humble posture.
"No, no! What cri has the old governor committed?" Qin Ming said, sounding very considerate.
The old governor of Cangyue pointed helplessly at the bloodied and mangled man beside him: "I have failed in my duty to discipline him. This rebellious son actually dared to... sigh..."
I have questioned him personally, and he has confessed to the matter.
I was just so angry that I punched him in the mouth and he can't speak anymore.
Otherwise, I would make him personally apologize to both of you here now!
Consort Zhen and Qin Ming exchanged a glance.
That old fox is very good at handling things.
"Alas, this matter is solely the fault of these two individuals."
It has nothing to do with the forr governor-general, and nothing to do with the Zhou family!
Qin Ming suddenly changed the subject: "I will do everything I told the old governor before."
"Thank you, Your Highness! I still have matters to attend to regarding this rebellious son, so I won't trouble Your Highness and the Princess any longer." Governor Cangyue took his leave.
After the video call ended, Qin Ming, his mother, and his uncle exchanged a smile in the main hall.
The Zhou family mansion in the Cangyue Starfield, a thousand miles away
Governor Cangyue looked at his youngest son, who was beaten and unable to speak, and sighed, "Zhou Qian, don't bla your father."
All of this is for the family.
From birth, we, the Zhou family, are destined for the rise and fall of our family.
"Don't even ntion you, even I, with my frail health, could risk my life."
After saying that, Governor Cangyue waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to take Zhou Qian away without even glancing at him.
It was as if what was being dragged out was just a piece of flesh, not their own son.
From now on, the last ssage Zhou Qian leaves for this world will be...
On the way to the Imperial Capital, they were attacked by the rebel fleet led by the little princess. Their fate and whereabouts are unknown.
at the sa ti.
In a certain star system in the Azure Moon Starfield.
The once glorious royal fleet of the little princess is now scattered like interstellar debris outside an asteroid belt.
Many of them are T3-class interstellar warships!
The royal coat of arms is clearly visible on the wreckage.
