After the coronation ceremony at the auditorium, Xiao Tingyun, the former Crown Prince, truly became the Emperor of this empire. At this time, not only did the people at the auditorium shout "Long Live Your Majesty" in unison, but even the All-Star Network live broadcast

The people who came to watch the succession ceremony also sent out barrage of "Long live your Majesty".

After coming out of the viewing platform, there was also the activity of the new emperor riding a carriage and parading around the entire imperial city.

Although we are now in the interstellar age, the emperor's parade vehicle is a real carriage, made of gold, and requires eight horses to pull together, a royal luxury carriage.

It was the first time for Long Jiu to see this golden carriage, but it was only the first time that her eyes were fixed.

Not only because this carriage is made entirely of gold, but also because this golden carriage is inlaid with countless diamonds and gems, which completely taps into the dragon tribe's hobby of shining brightly.

If he hadn't known that there were many people watching at the scene, and people from the entire empire were watching the live broadcast, Long Jiu would have wanted to transform back into a dragon body, and then sweep away the golden carriage on the spot.

The guard of honor opened the way in front, and the golden carriage Xiao Tingyun was sitting on walked in the middle, followed by five thousand Xingce troops with live ammunition.

Although the parade road had already been cleared by the Imperial Guards and a human wall had even been set up, the people in the imperial city were still standing behind the human walls on both sides.

On this day, almost all the people in the imperial city came out. They watched the golden carriage slowly passing by with excitement and joy. Everyone piously and spontaneously saluted the young emperor sitting in the golden carriage.

The fireworks in the sky were still blooming, and people on both sides of the street also bought flowers with their own money. When the carriage passed by, they threw the flowers in their hands in the direction of the carriage.

The young emperor sat in the carriage and waved to them, with a gentle smile on his handsome face.

When the emperor was parading through the streets, Long Jiu and Mrs. Lu did not follow him to watch the excitement, but were led directly into the palace by the palace attendants.

The original Prince's Palace was renamed Haqinghaiyan Palace and became the palace where the emperor lived.

Long Jiu and Mrs. Lu came here to rest temporarily. The old butler Qian Bo was obviously very familiar with this place. As soon as he came in, he immediately led the waiters in the palace to prepare tea and lunch.

This is the second time Mrs. Lu has come here. The last time she came here was more than ten years ago. At that time, the late emperor had just died. She came with Lu Junxiao. Because she was worried about her young nephew, Mrs. Lu did not go to discuss the matter.

Instead, I came here to see my little nephew.

Mrs. Lu, who came here at that time, was naturally not in the mood to appreciate the scenery of the Prince's Palace, so after coming this time, she couldn't help but look around curiously.

Long Jiu had lived here before, so she was a little more familiar with it than Mrs. Lu. After seeing Mrs. Lu's curious look, she said thoughtfully: "Auntie, I will accompany you around here after dinner."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu immediately said happily: "That's a good feeling. I heard that this palace is still the same as when Emperor Zhaoxu was in the prince..." She originally meant the prince, but as soon as she said the words, she realized that now

His nephew was no longer a prince, so he immediately changed his story and said: "The late Emperor Zhaoxu carefully prepared it for His Majesty before he was born. It is said that it is not as good as this place compared to the Emperor's Palace where the late Emperor himself lived."

Long Jiu asked curiously: "Have you never been here before?"

Mrs. Lu's smile paused, and then sighed: "I came here more than ten years ago, but that time I came to discuss the death of the late emperor, so I was not in the mood to take a look here at that time."

When Long Jiu heard this, he quickly said: "Then you should take a stroll today. There are not many antique buildings like this nowadays. The remaining ones were built in some movie and TV city to shoot costume movies and TV series.

Those are all empty frames, naturally they are not as good as my brother’s He Qing Hai Yan Palace.”

Mrs. Lu laughed again, nodded and said: "No, I went to the mother planet with your uncle several years ago. Because your uncle was there, I was bold enough to go and see the land of China.

I took a look, but it’s a pity that many places of interest there were destroyed in the great disaster, and now only some scattered ruins can be found.”

Long Jiu was very interested in the great disaster that had happened on the earth. In addition, the two of them had nothing to do now, so they just chatted with Mrs. Lu to pass the time, so he asked: "I am not good at history. I was not good at it before."

If you don’t like reading this, can you tell me more about that catastrophe? According to records in the history of the earth, the reason why humans migrated from their home planet to outer space was because the energy on the earth was exhausted at that time, which led to various destructions.

A natural disaster?"

Even though Mrs. Lu was doted on by Lu Junxiao and turned into an innocent person who didn't understand the world, she was a university professor at the highest institution on the Wolf Planet, and she still taught humanities and history.

However, after marrying Lu Junxiao, Lu Junxiao resigned from this job for his wife. However, although Mrs. Lu quit her job, her knowledge was still firmly in her mind.

Mrs. Lu became even more happy when she saw that Long Jiu was interested in the history of the earth. She took Long Jiu's hand and said happily: "You can say that, but the fundamental reason is that the ancestors of the earth's human beings at that time were too ignorant of restraint. In the later period of the earth's human beings, because of

The shortage of energy was so severe that countries at that time

In order to fight for these energy sources, although people at that time could not match our current technology, there was no shortage of large-scale thermal weapons. After countries became red-eyed, they naturally used those weapons, which also led to problems that were originally caused by energy.

The scarce and harsh environment is even worse.”

Long Jiu clicked his tongue and said: "So, this is the death caused by human beings themselves, and in the end the bitter consequences also fall on their own heads."

"Yes." Mrs. Lu nodded in agreement with a sigh: "There was probably a disaster that almost wiped out the entire species. Therefore, after humans finally left their home planet and entered the interstellar world, they also began to pay attention to protecting the environment on the new planet.

Already."

"Then that's how the natural disasters on the earth came about?" Long Jiu asked.

Mrs. Lu nodded and said seriously: "Because of the harsh environment, first the extreme changes in weather, then the melting of glaciers, releasing the ancient viruses sealed in the ice, followed by various viral infections. Coupled with the volcanic eruption

, major earthquakes, tsunamis, etc., if it had not been for human scientists to develop and build a spacecraft that can be carried into space in the late earth era, human beings would have been extinct in that catastrophe. "

Long Jiu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "The world was so chaotic at that time, but no one came out to save the world?"

Mrs. Lu was confused by her question and asked confusedly: "What are you referring to?"

salvation?

In such a catastrophe, which human being can be powerful enough to save the world?

Long Jiu smiled. This time he was not euphemistic, but said bluntly: "I mean the gods."

Long Jiu didn't know whether there would be gods in other places, but the land of China at that time was always protected by gods.

Faced with such a catastrophe at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the danger of annihilation. It is impossible for those guardian gods not to show up and do something. Moreover, China has always been able to produce many capable practitioners, and it is impossible not to do something for many practitioners with real abilities.

But Mrs. Lu was a little surprised. She looked at Long Jiu who was looking at him seriously and smiled, and said happily: "You are so young, but you still believe in these things?"

But Long Jiu looked at her and said seriously: "Auntie, people don't have to believe in ghosts and gods, but they still have to be in awe. I know that as technology becomes more and more developed, humans no longer believe in ghosts and gods, and they are even more respectful of the ancient gods.

I scoff at the practice of 'not asking about the common people but about ghosts and gods', but the legends from ancient times have never been groundless."

Mrs. Lu was stunned by her serious attitude.

Long Jiu solemnly said: "I can't guarantee other places, but the land of China was always protected by gods. Not to mention the distance, the four guardian gods of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu who guarded the four directions of China.

It really exists."

Madam Lu originally wanted to persuade Long Jiu not to believe these legends, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered the video of the real dragon appearing on the Star Network last time with Lu Junxiao on the Beihai Sea, her home planet. Madam Lu immediately

I was speechless.

She wanted to say where there were real gods from all directions, but a real dragon appeared.

Mrs. Lu slowly gained some awe in her heart, and she said nervously and hesitantly: "But at the end of the Earth Age, there was no record of the appearance of gods."

Long Jiu also felt puzzled. Could it be that after humans forgot about the gods, did the gods also abandon humans?

Then Long Jiu saw the entanglement in Mrs. Lu's eyes. It was probably because her outlook on life had been impacted and it was hard to accept. Long Jiu immediately smiled and said: "I'm just talking, I can't take it seriously. Don't think too much about it. That time has passed.

It has been more than two thousand years, and it would be really stupid to try to be more serious at this time."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu smiled, as if she was relieved, and said: "Then don't think about it seriously, otherwise my three views will really be subverted, which will be too annoying."

"Yeah." Long Jiu said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. But I still say that, even if you don't believe it, you must maintain a sense of awe."

Mrs. Lu nodded with a smile, then sighed and frowned: "Actually, sometimes I would rather that such things as ghosts and gods really exist, especially when those evil people do all kinds of bad things, and when those innocent victims

When an injustice is redressed, I very much hope that there will be retribution in the world."

I don’t know what Mrs. Lu was thinking about, but she always loved to smile, but there was a touch of sadness on her face.

Long Jiu looked at her frown, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then said with a smile: "There is still some karma. They all say that the way of heaven is reincarnation. If you don't believe it, look up and see who God will spare. Sometimes you have done everything you can.

It’s not that evil deeds go unpunished, it’s just that the time has not yet come. Once that time comes, it will be time for those people to pay their debts.”

Mrs. Lu thought about her words carefully, then looked at her with a smile and said, "You are right. I didn't expect that you, so young, would actually believe this."

Long Jiu smiled and said nothing, acquiescing that he believed in these things.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu shook her head and laughed, and then she seemed to think of something again. Her eyes looking at Long Jiu became a little hesitant to say, as if she wanted to say something, but felt embarrassed or embarrassed to say it.

Long Jiu looked at her expression and asked with a smile: "What does aunt want to say? You don't have to feel embarrassed, just say it."

Mrs. Lu sighed softly when she heard this, then lowered her voice and asked cautiously: "I heard that Your Majesty locked him... that woman up?"

Long Jiu understood that she was asking Lu Qingzhu. She remained calm and asked, "Is it what you want to ask, or is it for someone else?"

Mrs. Lu waved her hands repeatedly and said: "Little girl, don't think too much, I'm not asking for anyone, it's what I want to ask myself."

Long Jiu smiled and said truthfully: "It is locked up, in the dungeon in the Prince's Mansion."

Madam Lu's expression changed slightly. She probably didn't expect that the person would be locked up in the Prince's Mansion. She was stunned and said, "Why would Your Majesty lock someone up in the Prince's Mansion?"

Long Jiu: "I'm afraid I won't be able to lock him up anywhere else. There is only the dungeon of the Prince's Mansion. No one can get him out under my brother's eyes."

Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I go see her?"

Long Jiu looked at her in surprise, probably wondering why she wanted to see Lu Qingzhu.

Mrs. Lu said helplessly: "I don't have any other intention, I just want to see her. When I first married your uncle, she was also preparing to get married. Although your uncle has always been very good to me, but what will happen to me now?"

She is a new daughter-in-law. When she first married into the Lu family, there was only one sister-in-law in the family, so at that time she would come to accompany me to relieve my boredom whenever she had free time, which helped me relieve a lot of embarrassment."

Mrs. Lu was fond of old friendships. Even if she didn't understand how a good sister-in-law could become so vicious, she still hated this sister-in-law because of the young Xiao Tingyun at that time. But when she first married into the Lu family, this sister-in-law also

Be truly kind to yourself.

Although she now knows that she shouldn't come up with such rude ideas, Mrs. Lu still can't bear the thought of her sister-in-law who was with her at the Lu family back then.

Long Jiu saw the embarrassment in Mrs. Lu's expression. After thinking about it, she said, "It's better not to meet my aunt. I'm afraid you will be frightened if you do, and my uncle may be angry."

Mrs. Lu was stunned, "Why am I scared?"
