Chapter 258 Life or death is uncertain
In an instant, a huge water ball and another hot fireball collided in mid-air, like two meteors colliding, with a deafening noise.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them fought each other like glue, and all kinds of dazzling supernatural attacks emerged one after another, dazzling the eyes.
The guards stood aside and looked at each other. No one dared to step forward. Without clear instructions, they could only wait and see.
Although the Seventh Brother temporarily improved his combat effectiveness through some method, he was still seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced. He was far less powerful than the old emperor.
After a fierce battle, this thrilling battle finally came to an end.
His Majesty's face was pale, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his body was shaking, as if he might fall down at any time.
Fortunately, two guards were quick to step forward and support him, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of falling to the ground.
Looking at the seventh prince, it was even more horrible.
His body was covered in blood and his face was unrecognizable. He lay quietly on the ground like a broken doll, lifeless, and his life or death was unknown.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Ning Jingrou walked forward quickly, her eyes full of concern.
In front of others, Ning Jingrou is always good at disguising herself and hiding her true side very deeply.
She is used to showing a gentle, kind and virtuous image in front of everyone.
Once upon a time, He Linglong was also bewitched by Ning Jingrou's appearance, and they even became close sisters for a time.
If it weren't for what happened to Jiu Ci later, He Linglong would probably never be able to see through Ning Jingrou's hypocritical true face.
She was her sister, but she never expected that she had evil intentions and tried to extend her claws to her precious son!
It's so shameless!
The old emperor rarely saw Jingrou's good mood, and his depressed mood finally improved.
He couldn't help but said to Ning Jingrou: "Jingrou, since He Linglong has been deposed by me, the position of Queen is vacant. Why don't you leave Lao Ba and follow me! I will treat you wholeheartedly."
As for the seventh brother, he is already a dead man in the eyes of the old emperor!
Jingrou's other husbands were even less to be feared under the king's authority.
The eighth brother was stunned. How could his father do this?
He actually wanted to rob openly, this is too shameless.
He hoped in his heart that Jingrou would never agree.
Ning Jingrou secretly sneered at the old emperor's proposal. She didn't care about the position of queen at all.
The old emperor was already in her hands. Wasn't the supreme consul more honorable than the queen?
What's more, she is the honorable chief healer of the empire and really looks down on the position of queen.
If the emperor was Wen Jiuci, she would be happy to be the queen. As for the old emperor, being his queen would be too humiliating, so she didn't want to.
Although she felt extremely disgusted, Ning Jingrou still pretended to be shy and frowned, revealing a hint of displeasure as she said, "Your Majesty, you should take care of your health first! The position of Queen belongs to Sister He, I don't want it!"
The Eighth Prince was secretly delighted in his heart, Jingrou was indeed a unique woman!
She had no interest at all in the extremely noble throne of Queen.
I guess she must have been forced by the old emperor's brutality and tyranny and had no choice but to give herself to him!
Thinking of this, the Eighth Prince gazed at Ning Jingrou affectionately, his eyes filled with endless pity and self-blame.
It's all because of my own incompetence! I watched my loved ones suffer so much but I was helpless and powerless!
The old emperor was frustrated and was naturally extremely unhappy.
So, he vented all his anger on the innocent He Linglong: "He Linglong, since you have been deposed by me, don't dream of the glory and wealth that don't belong to you!"
Jingrou and He Linglong are good sisters. She probably refused him because she didn't want to take her position.
It’s all because of He Linglong!
"I don't want it." He Linglong's face was full of undisguised disgust, as if she would be defiled if she stayed for a moment longer.
Now she just wanted to disappear without a trace from this old man.
If she could leave alive, she also wanted to go back to Alvi Star with Jiu Ci.
Wen Jiuci looked at his mother silently, his heart filled with endless apology and self-blame.
He Linglong patted her son's hand gently and comforted him, "Jiu Ci, don't feel guilty about this. To me, those so-called fame and vanity are meaningless.
In the interstellar society, there are many outstanding young people. With my status as an S-class extractor, why should I hang on a rotten tree and miss the entire dense forest? "
She had no intention of finding another man, and she said this just to reassure Jiu Ci.
The old emperor was furious when he heard this, and he asked angrily, "He Linglong, how dare you? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
"Humph, why shouldn't I dare? It's obviously you who are shameless and broke the oath first. Do you still expect me to be loyal to you like a fool?" He Linglong actually said this deliberately to irritate the other party.
"Women in the interstellar age have the right to marry multiple husbands at the same time!" She deliberately emphasized the last sentence, her eyes as sharp as swords, piercing straight at the old emperor.
In order to stay with him, she rejected the love of many high-level star soul masters.
But the final outcome is still not worth it!
The old emperor was so embarrassed that he became speechless.
He wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't.
The Eighth Prince has always been as timid as a mouse, and dared not disobey the old emperor who holds real power. However, he could not swallow this humiliation, so he had to transfer all his resentment to He Linglong.
Anyway, her situation is hopeless now, so he doesn't need to be polite to this former favorite queen anymore. He can just curse her loudly, and maybe he can win the favor of the old emperor.
"He Linglong, if it weren't for you spreading rumors and stirring up discord, how could the emperor and his seventh brother become enemies and kill each other?"
However, the old emperor not only did not look at him, but frowned and scolded him: "Asshole! When is it your turn to talk too much?"
He Linglong didn't mind his scolding, but if it was his own son who insulted her, the old emperor would immediately feel unhappy.
Perhaps even he himself could not explain the reason, he simply could not bear to see her suffer any injustice.
It is really puzzling, because he obviously dotes on Ning Jingrou the most!
So why do I have such emotions at this moment?
Wen Jiuci also stared at the Eighth Prince coldly. How dare he insult his mother? Was he tired of living?
Since this is the case, don't blame him for not considering the feelings of his brothers!
