Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1050: Millennium Prince (First Update)
Xia Chujian continued to analyze: "Shaofu Star is the sphere of influence of your Zong clan."

"Zangge Star should be the sphere of influence of the Quan family."

"Kanli Star must be the Su family's sphere of influence."

"There is only Guiyuan Star left. Could it be the Li family's sphere of influence?"

"That's not right, because the royal family does not allow any nobles to be stationed on Guiyuan Star, so the Li family's ancestral home is not on Guiyuan Star, but on Beichen Star."

"So how do they govern Guiyuan Star?"

Zong Ruoning was not sure, but he did not deny it either. He smiled and said, "So why do you think that among the four major families, only the Li family is the most enthusiastic about marrying into the royal family?"

Xia Chujian remembered and said hurriedly: "It is said in the history books of the Beichen Empire that 80% of the empresses of the empire are from the Li family!"

"But the history books also wrote that among all the emperors of Beichen, none of them had legitimate sons born to the empress."

Zong Ruoning nodded: "Yes, the former Beichen royal family had three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines."

"Most of the empresses in the central palace cannot give birth to children, but the inner palace has the greatest power."

"However, although the Li family produced many empresses, all the princes and princesses they gave birth to either died of illness or died unexpectedly. In short, none of them ascended the throne."

Xia Chujian said, "It's actually not a bad idea to think about it. It's because there was no child born to Queen Li that the royal family could always marry daughters of the Li family as queens, and there wouldn't be the problem of close blood relations."

"Otherwise, in ten thousand years, the entire royal family will be made up of close relatives marrying each other. The heirs born, tsk tsk, I dare not even think about it..."

However, it is quite amusing to think about the fact that there are so many mentally retarded and deformed people in the royal family.

They don't treat civilians as human beings, and God doesn't treat them as human beings either...

Xia Chujian felt very sorry because the Tantai royal family did not allow Queen Li to have children.

Pretty smart...

Xia Chujian complained silently.

Zong Ruoning seemed to guess what Xia Chujian was thinking. He smiled and said, "After the constitutional monarchy is established, the royal family will abolish the harem system, and the emperor will also have to practice monogamy."

"So in the past five hundred years, the Li family has basically not produced a queen."

"Until the most recent emperor, he chose the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Li as his queen, the current Queen Li Feng'en."

Xia Chu saw it clearly: "This Queen Li gave birth to a son and a daughter."

"The eldest prince is dead, and now Princess Jing is the first in line to the throne."

"So after ten thousand years, the Tantai Dynasty is finally going to welcome an heir to the throne with the blood of the Li family?"

Zong Ruoning said: "From the current perspective, it is certain."

"I just heard that Queen Li was heartbroken by the death of the eldest prince and has been unkind to Princess Jing."

"But Princess Jing never blames her mother and is very filial to the queen."

Xia Chujian didn't want to hear the drama in the royal family about "the mother is not kind but the daughter is filial".

To be honest, after experiencing that suspicious emperor, she wished that everyone in the royal family would fight to the death for the throne...

Just like what she experienced in the game, the Tan Tai Dynasty thousands of years ago.

The princess and the prince fight each other, just like raising a poisonous insect, and the one who wins in the end becomes the emperor...

Xia Chujian said regretfully: "What a pity. In fact, the royal family should have more concubines and more children. With only the queen, it's really not enough for her to have children."

"If something happens to Princess Jing... I really have the throne to inherit! Only by having more children can we ensure that the throne does not fall into the hands of another family!"

Zong Ruoning suddenly stopped her in a stern voice: "Be careful with your words!"

"I know you're bold when we first meet, but that's no reason for you to be rude."

Xia Chujian came back to her senses and apologized quickly: "Thank you, Mr. Zong, for reminding me. I made a slip of the tongue and I won't do it again."

She remembered that this was what Quan Yuxun had said: there are some things that can be done but cannot be said.

Zong Ruoning nodded: "This won't happen again."

"I am only reminding you that the importance of Maze Huangquan to the royal family is more important than to anyone else."

"Although our four major families also want to retrieve our family seals, even if we don't have them, it will not affect the planets under our respective jurisdiction."

"Only the royal family, once they find their imperial seal, will be able to truly suppress our four major families, and it will even be of great benefit to the royal family members."

Xia Chujian seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Could it be that Tan Tailin 'cried thief, thief', and stole the family seals from your four major families?"

"So the planet under your jurisdiction doesn't really belong to you?"

Zong Ruoning said: "I believe everyone has guessed this before."

"But in the past ten thousand years, no matter which emperor of the Beichen Empire, even the most arrogant founding emperor Tan Tailin, has ever taken away the jurisdiction of our planet from the four major families."

"So we think it's unlikely that those family seals were stolen by Tan Tai Lin. There's no need."

"Because at the beginning, he could have completely refused to distribute the Maze Huangquan to our four major families."

"And we are also sure that the imperial seal of the Tantai royal family is indeed lost."

"In the past ten thousand years, the emperor of the Beichen Empire has never used the imperial seal on various imperial edicts and legal documents."

"The imperial seal that was used in the palace to hold ceremonies to worship the heaven during festivals is a fake. It is carved from Huanglong jade."

"But according to my grandfather, the Huanglong jade is also made of top-grade material. It looks exactly like the real thing."

"It just doesn't have as powerful functions as the real imperial seal carved by Mi Jin Huang Quan." Xia Chu Jian couldn't help but ask: "What functions does it have?"

Zong Ruoning shook his head helplessly: "I don't know about this either."

"That's what my grandfather just told me today."

"Your Majesty the Emperor must know the true function of the Maze Huangquan."

"Otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort and sent people to look for the Green Star every year."

"So now it is also important for us to find the way out of this maze."

"At least if we get one piece, we can counter the measures that the emperor may take against us in the future."

Xia Chujian listened quietly and did not express any opinions.

After Zong Ruoning finished speaking, he saw that Xia Chujian showed no signs of being moved, and he began to suspect that he was wrong. The piece of Huangquan in the emperor's hand was not handed over by her...

But she was the only one who came back last, and she was the only one who had been behind that door.

It is said that as long as you "offer sacrifices" to that door, it will give you a piece of the maze of Hades...

Moreover, in the records they obtained, there has never been a record that the "sacrificed" sacrifices could come back alive.

Thinking of this, Zong Ruoning simply spoke frankly to Xia Chujian: "Chujian, I originally thought that you were the one who got the piece of the Maze Yellow Spring and gave it to His Majesty."

Xia Chujian smiled bitterly and said, "If it was me, then why didn't Your Majesty reward me instead of torturing me to death?"

"Is this the attitude towards the hero?"

Zong Ruoning pursed his lips and sighed, "I originally guessed that because you brought back one piece, he would want more pieces, especially to collect all nine pieces of the Maze Huangquan."

"He didn't let you go because he wanted to know if you were hiding anything."

Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows: "You finally told the truth."

"Actually, I really don't remember whether I got the Maze Huangquan back or not."

"I should have remembered it before, but after being tortured by that person... my hippocampus lost its function and I lost my memory."

She pointed to her brain and said, "If you had asked the imperial physician about my condition, you would have known it better than I do."

Zong Ruoning thought that he had no way to find the imperial physician, but his grandfather must have a connection with the imperial physician.

So I hinted to him.

He sympathized with Xia Chujian's situation and said, "If you come back with us, nothing will happen."

"Because you are the only one who has been behind the door, it is conceivable that His Majesty the Emperor will not let you go."

Xia Chujian also nodded and said calmly: "Thank you for telling me this. Even if I die, I can be a clear-headed ghost."

"But that person was too eager and made things worse. He messed up my brain."

"Now it's either I die or I lose my memory."

“He can only choose one.”

Zong Ruoning said: "It's better to let you live with amnesia than to die and get nothing."

"So, Your Majesty, the Emperor will definitely let you live, and will not give up any opportunity to restore your memory."

Xia Chujian said: "Great minds think alike. I also want to live with amnesia, but I don't want to die and lose everything."

Zong Ruoning: "..."

I always feel that the word "hero" in Xia Chujian's "heroes think alike" doesn't refer to him...

But Zong Ruoning didn't think much about it and continued, "According to our records, the world behind the 'God's Descent Gate' is not a world that humans can go to."

"Humanity needs to offer sacrifices to the 'Gate of God's Descent' in order to gain His favor and grant us a 'Puzzle of the Underworld'."

Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask: "...Where did you get this record from? Can you show it to me?"

Zong Ruoning said: "This is a record about the maze and the underworld passed down by the founding emperor Tan Tai Lin in the early years."

"It was probably after the imperial seal made from the Maze of Yellow Springs and the emblems of the four major families disappeared that he began his long journey to find the Maze of Yellow Springs."

"He was the longest-serving emperor of the Beichen royal family. It is said that he lived for a thousand years and outlived many 'princes'..."

Xia Chujian couldn't help but laugh.

Zong Ruoning is also quite mischievous.

This is not just "How can there be a prince for sixty years?", this is "How can there be a prince for a thousand years?"
Xia Chujian whispered, "Why did Tan Tailin live so long? Do you have any records?"

Zong Ruoning said: "Because he is the highest level of genetic evolution."

Xia Chujian was shocked: "...The highest level? S-level? Can live for a thousand years?!"

Damn, it’s another day of envying the genetic evolvers!
And he is a high-level genetic evolver!
Zong Ruoning shook his head: "I don't know how high it is."

"I'm only A-level, but my lifespan is at least two hundred years."

"For an S-rank, five hundred years shouldn't be a problem. Of course, if you don't commit suicide."

"To live for a thousand years, you need at least three S-ranks, right?"

This is the first chapter. There will be a second and bigger chapter at 5:05 pm.

PS: The names of the characters in the chapter at noon have been changed. The eldest son of the Zong family is called Zong Weiping, and the second son is called Zong Weiding.
