Chapter 119 Royal Darkness
"Father..."
The figure has just arrived, and a soft voice with a hint of unconcealable softness has already entered everyone present. Just from the tone of the voice, it is quite comfortable.
"Imanda-! So good, are you okay? How are you feeling physically now?"
The majesty of the old emperor disappeared without a trace when he saw his third daughter. He stood up from the throne like a kind father, looking at the third daughter in front of him excitedly. If he hadn't realized in time that there were many ministers around him, he might have come forward to check his beloved daughter's condition.
"Thank you for your concern. I have already felt much better. Mr. Ferton's medical skills are amazing. I temporarily suppress my physical weakness. As long as I cooperate with the increase in the efficacy of the Blue Sea and Blue Sky Grass, I can continue to survive. Those are Blue Sea and Blue Sky Grass, right?"
As she spoke, the third princess's eyes had turned toward Long Jiu and her group, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. Looking at the cluster of blue sea and blue sky grass that Long Jiu held in her hand, she knew that this was something that would continue her life. No wonder she seemed a little excited.
"Not bad! Imanda, this is the youngest son of the Long family, that is, Long Jiu, your uncle Yaotian's youngest son! You should have seen him when you were young. In a blink of an eye, you have all grown up. In a few years, you should also let that little girl Chris marry Long Jiu quickly. Let the two families become real relatives. This is also my dream. At that time, hey..."
It seemed that he had suddenly been worried about something. Long Jiu could clearly hear that the old emperor wanted to say something, but suddenly he stopped himself, shut up and sighed, and then shifted the topic away.
"The most important thing now is to quickly let Mr. Feidun start refining the potion. Long Jiu, hand over the blue sea and blue sky grass in your hand to Mr. Feidun. You have completed this task and say, what kind of reward do you want? As long as you speak, I will definitely agree!"
It is obvious that the old emperor is in a good mood now. His laughing expression also made Long Jiu and his party feel much more depressed. The oppression of a monarch cannot be easily endured.
"This, Your Majesty, in fact, we have already obtained what we want most in the process of completing this task! That is, during the period of becoming a mercenary, we have the experience of our own strength and experience! This is our most precious wealth, and apart from that, there is nothing we particularly want! If Your Majesty insists on rewarding us something, hehe, let me do this, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to agree to a condition. No matter what the circumstances are, if it is not particularly necessary, I hope I can bow to Your Majesty to greet you without kneeling down and saluting you. I wonder if Your Majesty can agree to this request?"
In fact, before coming to the Imperial City, Long Jiu had thought of countless so-called rewards, such as money beauties, cultivation books or magic weapons, but he denied them all one by one! He did not need to get these material things for the time being. He really needed them, and he also hoped to rely on his own hands to get them! So after weighing the trade-offs, after considering the previous scene, Long Jiu had a sudden inspiration and made such a request, which was beyond everyone's expectations!
"So that's it. You want a privilege to be exempted from etiquette! This is in line with your personality! Hahaha-Okay! I promised your request. From today on, if you don't see me at a particularly necessary moment, you can be exempted from the ritual of kneeling and greetings! But if you are disrespectful to me because of this, Long Jiu, you should know what the consequences are, right?"
"Yes! Although this Majesty is relieved, Long Jiu will naturally pay attention to it! However, as for the friends behind me, I also hope that Your Majesty can promise them that if they can achieve something in the future, I also hope that Your Majesty can give them a chance to be reused! Now, we can do nothing to reward!"
After nodding his head quickly and agreeing, Long Jiu also remembered that it was not the one who completed the task. He quickly pointed at Qi Jianxin and others behind him and spoke in a deep voice. This request can be said to be almost equivalent to not a requirement, so how could the old emperor refuse it!
"If you are a capable person, the Dragon Empire will definitely reuse it at any cost! Even if you don't ask me for this, I will continue to give you instructions. As long as your partners can really achieve some extraordinary achievements in the future, I can personally order them to be promoted and have their own glory! In this way, are you satisfied with Long Jiu?"
"So great! Your Majesty clearly understands!"
With a slight smile, Long Jiu ended the conversation with a brief sentence. He knew that what the old emperor thought in his heart must be about the third princess, and he would not want to say more to those of him, such as "little people". He immediately spoke tactfully: "Since that's the case, I wonder if we can sue it? Your Majesty has a lot of things to deal with..."
Hearing this, the old emperor immediately looked at Long Jiu with a hint of appreciation. Of course, he knew that Long Jiu said this because he was considering himself. According to the original procedures, he had to treat those who came to meet him in person. But now, he was worried about the third princess in his heart, so he didn't have much thought to pay attention to Long Jiu and others. He was naturally quite happy to be understood by Long Jiu.
"Okay! I have a lot of matters to deal with today, and I can only neglect all the little heroes! Lei Jiet, you can just give me some good greetings to Long Jiu and the others in the palace. They can stay for a few days if they want to stay! Don't neglect others, do you know?"
"Yes - Father! Leave it to the child!"
With a deep voice, the Ninth Prince walked to Long Jiu and others and made a "please" gesture. The latter seven of them subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and all followed the Ninth Prince and retreated outside the hall. However, just after reaching the door, they saw a young man wearing a gorgeous robe similar to the Ninth Prince. He walked quickly into the hall with a hurried pace, just as he met Long Jiu and others who had withdrawn.
"Brother Three Emperors, why are you here? Is there something urgent to do?"
Of course, the ninth prince is familiar with this person who looks a little similar to his. He reveals his identity as he opens his mouth. He is the third son of the old emperor, the third prince of the Dragon Empire, Byron Acates!
"I heard that my third sister's illness has hope of curing, so I came to take a look. Lei Jiet, have the blue sea and blue sky grass really been found?"
The visitor looked up at his ninth brother, with a warm smile on his face, and a smile in his tone, and he asked softly. However, looking at the posture of the third prince and the hypocrisy on his face, Long Jiu shook his head secretly in his heart.
"Another hypocrite! These so-called royal princes are really more than one person. The ninth prince also has a lot of abacus in his heart. Now the third prince is even more obvious. His hypocritical smile makes me almost vomit! It seems that it is better to deal with these guys less, so as not to be contaminated by the darkness in the royal family. Hehe..."
If everyone around you heard this sentence in Long Jiu's heart, they didn't know what they would think. If Long Jiu could think of himself as pure, perhaps there would be few impure people in this world.
The greetings between the two princes were very brief. After all, the ninth prince was still in the task of greeting Long Jiu and others. After only two or three sentences, they had already separated from each other. Except for the first two sentences, Long Jiu didn't hear anything they said at all, because he was immersed in his yy world and completely lost his hearing...
However, the moment the third prince and Long Jiu passed by, Long Jiu unexpectedly saw a scene that he shouldn't have seen. He saw that the inner side of the belt of the third prince, who was supposed to be tied well, was a piece of familiar pink fabric. It was obvious that this was because he hurriedly put on his clothes and didn't pay attention to it. If Long Jiu hadn't happened to pass by the third prince with his head down, he wouldn't have noticed that small piece of pink clothing fabric. Moreover, the color and material made Long Jiu feel a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...
"That thing, it's still like...wait, that's not..."
Following the ninth prince, Long Jiu didn't even hear what the ninth prince was saying. He tilted his neck and kept recalling what he was desperately. After about two minutes, he finally realized something and almost exclaimed. Fortunately, he reacted in time and swallowed the exclamation in his throat. He did not scream, but in his heart, he was a little difficult to calm down for his bold guess!
"It's not wrong! The material and color of the clothes on the third princess are exactly the same! The third prince, 80% of the relationship with the third princess is not that simple! But, isn't it said that the third princess was in a coma the other day? Why did the clothes and fabric appear on the third prince? Could it be... Woo-Wu-Forget it, the more you think about this kind of thing, the darker and irrational. I'm now limited in strength and almost zero in power, so it's better to pretend not to know. Hehe, this so-called royal family is really similar to those in TV novels. There is absolutely no such light, or it's not ordinary darkness! The battle for power is really an interesting war..."
