The Way of the Empress

Zhuo Yang has always been very cautious. After receiving news from Gordon that he accidentally learned some clues related to the Xue family’s case and wanted to tell him face-to-face, he chose a safer place and brought a guard to the appointment. He also sent a message to Moodys’s personal terminal before meeting.

But he didn’t expect that when it comes to calculating, he still lost to Dean…

As soon as Zhuo Yang entered the door of their agreed box, he was stunned by the cloud of drugs and was taken away.

When he woke up again, he was already bound and thrown on a spaceship. Emperor Winston was also tied and thrown on the spaceship with him.

“Father…” As soon as Zhuo Yang woke up, he saw Emperor Winston at a glance.

Emperor Winston was not in good health. Affected by the drug, his whole person was not very good. He opened his eyes in a daze, not even realizing that he was bound and forced to kneel on the ground. “Zhuo Yang? Where are we?”

“Father, we are afraid that we have…” Zhuo Yang frowned.

Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind them. “Awake?”

“Why are you here, Dean?” Winston was still a little confused.

On the other hand, Zhuo Yang woke up suddenly. He immediately looked at the Changdi Qing alertly. “It’s you?”

In an instant, an outline of why Tan Yuzhi was so afraid when seeing Dean formed in Zhuo Yang’s mind.

Dean has always been a refined, noble and calm guide. Although he is from the royal family, he has a very good temper. He has always been considerate when dealing with people and things, and he has always been very polite when facing Winston the Great.

Therefore, although Winston and him were half-brothers, the emperor was very fond of his younger brother.

“Why am I here, you should ask your good son, Winston Bricania. If he hadn’t found something he shouldn’t have, and dug up those things, I wouldn’t have been forced to this step either.” At this moment, although Dean looked a little embarrassed, he was still calm and aloof, but the respect he had previously feigned for Winston was gone.

Winston’s brain was still foggy and unclear. “Moodys found something that he shouldn’t have? Why do you need to be on the run?”

In his eyes, this half-brother is simply a quiet existence.

“You are the real behind-the-scenes mastermind of the Xue family’s injustice, and the real leader of the Anti-Imperial Society?” On the contrary, Zhuo Yang reacted immediately.

Moodys recently followed the clues left by Duke Andrew to investigate the unjust case of the Xue family, and the Anti-Imperial Society was found to lead things behind the scenes…

Dean chuckled, tacitly acquiescing to Zhuo Yang’s question. “Your Highness’s reaction is very quick.”

“Anti-Imperial Society? You are also a member of the royal family, why did you create such a reactionary organization to overthrow the royal family? And Xue Zhanting, didn’t you like him, and plead for him several times? Why did you plot against Xue Zhanting? Massacre his family?” After hearing this, Emperor Winston still couldn’t understand the situation.

He didn’t understand and couldn’t understand why Dean did this.

“You are almost the highest-ranking, most powerful, and pampered guide across Osphia. Gold clothes and jade food, and respected by everyone. The royal family and the common people support you, so why did you do this?”

“Power, status?” Dean sneered at Winston’s question. “I was the queen’s child, from the most legitimate bloodline, but now I have to succumb to a bastard born from a mistress. Bowing to you, begging for mercy, even meeting your woman, mistress, and have to give them three points of courtesy, and saluting when we meet. This is also called power and pampering?”

Although he has always pretended, and never looked down on Winston from the bottom of his heart, now this person’s family and younger generations can also ride on his head. How can he be willing?

Winston never knew that this usually obedient half-brother actually thought of himself like this. You… you—”

He was speechless.

“My Anti-Imperial Society not to rebel, but a rebellion to set things right!” Dean looked at him and sneered. “My royal brother is dead, so it should be me succeeding… Why, why was it you, a trash with nothing but paste in your brain? Just because you are a sentinel. I can’t accept this, and am not reconciled… So, the day you ascended the throne, I had already decided to take back everything that belonged to me!”

“But I didn’t expect that, even after several failed plans, you managed to stay safe and sound, and be emperor for so many years!”

This was the thing he hated the most in his life. What happened to guides? Why can’t a guide be the emperor of Osphia? He is also a man. He is also born from the queen, and his blood is noble.

“You… this was all decided by father. I never thought of becoming the emperor. It was your brother who failed to live up to his expectations and carried out human experiments, which dragged down the entire royal family and forced him to die. It’s none of my business! ‘ Winston gritted his teeth.

Emperor was never something he wanted to be, and this mess was not something he wanted to clean up!

Dean sneered, and his entire being was very gloomy. “Ah, what about my emperor’s brother’s human experimentation? It’s just the physical lives of some pariahs who have never contributed to the country and society. There’s nothing to cherish. They’re just ordinary people, not sentinels or guides. My imperial brother grafted their bodies and added other abilities to help those low-level creatures evolve!”

“If Chris wanted to save my imperial brother back then, there’s nothing that couldn’t be suppressed. But he wanted to execute my imperial brother according to the wishes of those untouchables, just because of his own bias, and to help you, a bastard!” He never felt that Hannibal’s death was Hannibal’s fault. Instead, it was caused by the eccentricity of the late emperor and his desire to help Winston take the throne.

Chris is the name of the late emperor.

Dean never believed in justice and fairness. Everything was only a matter of winners and losers.

Winston was speechless about his extremeness, and could only ask angrily: “You— Fine, even if I stole your throne and everything from you, I can admit and give it to you. But, What about Xue Zhanting? Didn’t you grow up with him? Don’t you like him? What’s about him, why did you kill his family?”

After learning all the truth, Winston felt Dean was like a poisonous snake. While begging for Xue Zhanting and saying he likes him, he secretly killed Xue Zanting’s family.

“I like him so much, but he rejected me and was with someone else. Of course he wronged me…” Dean replied righteously, as if Xue Zhanting had really wronged him.

Zhuo Yang only found it funny, and felt that Dean was simply wrong. “Just because you like him, he has to like you, and can’t refuse? Love is a matter of two people, how can there be such a truth?”

Changdi Qing’s thoughts were simply inexplicable.

“I am the Changdi, the most honorable guide in the entire Osphia. I have been able to get everything I wanted from childhood. I like him, so of course he will like me, otherwise, I will destroy him. That’s it.” Dean declared righteously with eyes were full of malice. Because he was Changdi Qing, the whole world should revolve around him, and no one can disobey him.

Zhuo Yang was speechless. “Oh, that’s simply a robber’s logic.”

In his eyes now, Dean is completely crazy.

“I’m a robber, so what? Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Even if he doesn’t like me, didn’t he still stay by my side for so many years? Won’t he still only accompany me in the future?” As Dean spoke, he walked to a rectangular transparent object in the center of the spaceship very affectionately, and looked at the person sleeping inside obsessively.

It’s good, Xue Zhanting will always belong to him.

Zhuo Yang and Winston didn’t notice it until Dean walked over. The transparent rectangular object was an ice coffin, and the person sleeping in the ice coffin was Xue Zhanting, who had been dead for 60 years…

Really perverted, Dean actually kept Xue Zhanting’s body like this for 60 years.

Winston and Zhuo Yang were disgusted.

Winston suddenly thought of something. “You were the one who executed Xue Zanting one minute earlier. Was the fact that Xue Zhanting’s wife is the daughter of an arms dealer also revealed by you? And leaked those rumors that because Xue Zhanting quantum beast is a five-clawed blue dragon, he will subvert the royal family and take over the world?”

After seeing Dean’s true face, he recalled many things back then and found many doubts.

 

Split into 2, and I think the next one may be split as well.
