Chapter 78 78

Originally, the people of the Odyssey Empire just hoped that the new king could repel the invaders. Unexpectedly, the Federation and the Zerg were destroyed in the end, and all the territories and the captured soldiers and civilians were renamed and put under the control of the empire.

The Odyssey Empire, the Federation, and the Zerg merged into a new huge empire – the Blue Boat Empire.

His Majesty the King issued a series of decrees.

As soon as the new constitution of the Blue Boat Empire was promulgated, it immediately aroused opposition from the nobles of the original Odyssey Empire.

Because of the abolition of the aristocracy mentioned in the constitution, no matter who were the nobles, commoners, federal people, and Zerg of the Odyssey Empire, they are now citizens of the Blue Boat Empire and are on an equal footing.

That means that it is no longer difficult for nobles to enjoy tax exemptions and preferential treatment for nobles in terms of policies. Now they are on the same line as the commoners of the Empire and even the Federation and Zerg.

The nobles secretly wanted to unite with other families to fight against Si Huaixi, but before they acted, they were thrown into prison by Si Huaixi one by one. The evidence is conclusive.

The commoners cheered, and the nobles left sadly, forced to accept the new status of citizens of the Blue Boat Empire.

His Majesty the new king will always wear his black mask. The people of the Blue Boat Empire don’t know the king’s appearance or his real name. They just yearn and worship this mysterious and powerful king from the bottom of their hearts. He loved and respected him and called him His Majesty the King.

In the early days of the establishment of the Blue Boat Empire, Si Huaixi paid attention to it, but soon more outstanding talents were selected, and many of them were from ordinary people.

Seeing that the development of the Blue Boat Empire gradually matured, Si Huaixi immediately delegated power to the government, military, and court to supervise as a king, but did not directly handle various complicated official affairs of the empire. Si Huaixi will show up.

The officials of the government of the Blue Boat Empire often require His Majesty the King to approve some important documents, but this slack king hides and can’t find it no matter how he looks for it. The Prime Minister and the Home Secretary handle things for the King.

Today, the huge Blue Boat Empire occupies the area of ​​the original three countries. After the integration into one country, not only has the affairs tripled, but also the small disputes between various former Odyssey citizens, federal citizens, and Zerg can become Sensitive and can cause big trouble if you are not careful.

However, the people in these three places are extremely worshipful and convinced of His Majesty’s decision, such as dividing the living planet area.

Even if His Majesty puts the Zerg on a dry and hot planet, and puts the conflicting citizens of Odyssey and the Commonwealth together, they will not have any objection.

Instead, he seriously thought about the meaning of what the king did, and let the Zerg who have always liked humid places to live in a dry and hot planet. The hope is that the Zerg can overcome their physical difficulties and let the contradictory citizens of Odyssey live together with the Commonwealth. I hope they can live in harmony and let go of their conflicts.

Instead, the prime minister and the home secretary were the ones handling the matter, and if they dared to do so, the angry trio would overturn their desks.

Did you put the Zerg on that dry and hot planet to scorch their beautiful wings? !

The former citizens of Odyssey will despise and ridicule and say that they will never live with this group of country bumpkins in the Federation!

The Commonwealth will also protest seriously. As their neighbors, those former citizens of Odyssey who are so proud to lift their chins to the ceiling are so uncomfortable that they immediately want to move away from this planet and do not want to breathe under the same sky as them!

The Prime Minister and the Home Secretary were so overwhelmed each time that their untimely hairline made them cry silently, and then they turned to Secretary General Irene, who was the only one who could quickly find His Majesty the King to handle affairs.

Irene said there was nothing she could do.

His Majesty the King, who makes the citizens of the Blue Boat Empire so much love and yearn for, actually doesn’t want to be a king at all.

The itinerary is not wandering in outer space, or he has been staying in the house where he once lived with Pei Zhaozhou, playing a game that was abandoned long ago, and even the main system disappeared. battlefield”.

There is a hidden mission in it to collect the silver arc fragments of Pei Zhaozhou’s S-class mecha.

Si Huaixi put the pieces together little by little, and finally got a complete S-rank silver arc mecha in the game, and got the final reward of the hidden mission.

But what Si Huaixi wanted most was a video shot by Pei Zhaozhou to congratulate the lucky player.

In the video, Pei Zhaozhou’s stern brows did not seem to have been changed by the years, and his pale thin lips lightly opened, and said, “Congratulations on completing the final hidden task, you must be an excellent mecha pilot, who is very knowledgeable about mecha structure. I understand very well, and I sincerely hope that you can join the Blue Air Mecha Company and jointly develop a new type of mecha with me…”

How many times has Si Huaixi watched this short one-minute video?

Irene didn’t dare to guess, she only knew that when she occasionally listened to it, she was able to memorize every word.

I can’t imagine how many times Si Huaixi has been caught in this video, and how many times he has endured suffocating loneliness and despair in the shadow of the past.

Irene wanted Si Huaixi to get out of the shadows and actively reach out to more people, instead of trapping herself in a lonely tower like a tower built in the air, isolated from the world, as if she had nothing to do with the world.

She was really afraid that one day Si Huaixi would get tired of this world without Pei Zhaozhou and leave completely.

Three years of the Blue Boat Empire.

Si Huaixi frowned and sat in the king’s office. The low pressure continued to spread, and all the servants around were shivering. Only Secretary-General Irene had a fox-like smile.

There was a communication machine in front of the king’s desk, and the bell was ringing continuously.

Si Huaixi picked up the communication and raised his eyebrows as expected.

It was a young boy, and there seemed to be many lively voices on the opposite side.

“Are you His Majesty the King?”

“Yeah.” Si Huaixi replied in a low voice.

There was a burst of exclamations from the opposite side, and then the boy, or a male college student, shouted to the communication: “Your Majesty the King! I adore you!”

The students around the man also shouted excitedly: “Your Majesty, we have graduated! We will contribute to the Blue Boat Empire in the future! Love you!”

Another risky communication from the students during the graduation season.

Irene recently proposed to pass an ordinance, the King’s Hotline.

When the people of the entire Blue Boat Empire encounter major difficulties, they can directly call the king’s communication and ask for the king’s fair and just help.

Because of the huge population of the Blue Boat Empire, there are places where the imperial government can’t push it, and there will be crimes. Just a few years after the founding of the country, corrupt officials began to be sent by the imperial government to remote planets.

Si Huaixi could stop the Federation Zerg army, but he couldn’t stop people from being greedy, and he didn’t want the country that Pei Zhaozhou left behind to decline step by step.

So Si Huaixi agreed to Yilin’s proposal.

From the very beginning, the King’s Hotline has received communications from planets all over the Blue Boat Empire, and it has cleared up a lot of criminal and corrupt incidents, which has greatly improved the Blue Boat Empire’s atmosphere, the crime rate has dropped rapidly, the public’s trust in the imperial government has been greatly improved, and the country has prospered. People are stable.

Basically, the king’s hotline rarely rings now, except for one time period, which is the time when the group of students who symbolize the future cornerstone of the Blue Boat Empire graduated.

But in the graduation season, there will always be some daring students calling to communicate, either to express their love for the Blue Boat Empire, or to express a confession to His Majesty the King.

Si Huaixi rubbed his brows helplessly, but a casual smile overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and then said solemnly: “I approved you to contribute to the Blue Boat Empire in the future, but because you occupy the king’s hotline and disturb my work, so You are sentenced to three months of voluntary labor for the Blue Boat Empire.”

The student opposite was shocked and said, “Your Majesty, isn’t it a month’s voluntary labor?”

Si Huaixi evoked a smirk: “Starting from today, it will be changed to three months of voluntary labor, and the penalty sheet will be sent to your Xingwang account. Please complete the college students who graduated from the Empire on time, starting from voluntary labor for the Contribute to the Blue Boat Empire.”

Such a group of graduates have received punishment orders issued by His Majesty abroad, and they showed off the punishment orders on the platform with tears in their eyes, even though the price of three months of voluntary labor was a bit heavy.

Irene has been working hard for so long to bring Si Huaixi closer to the people of the Blue Boat Empire, hoping that he will be more popular.

The tide receded, immersed in the pain and regret of the past, it was a very hopeless thing, and she also deeply experienced it.

Irene’s eyes flashed with tears. After she was rescued by Si Huaixi, she realized that after she disappeared, her brother never gave up searching for her, and even for her sake was forced to give up medicine and became a fugitive.

Even though Si Huaixi told her that her brother might be staying at Sin Star, but at that time, the federation was invading the empire, Sin Star was in a remote area of ​​the border, and was attacked by war for the first time. When she got news from her brother, It was the news that he had already died.

Tell her casino owner that his brother owed a lot of money and ended up killing himself when he couldn’t pay it.

(Actually, it was the black doctor Yi Chengze who used Xiao Huangdou’s wish-reading ability to make the casino owner go bankrupt with the money he made in the casino. In the end, the angry casino owner issued a wanted order. In order to avoid the casino owner’s arrest, Yi Chengze Chased and killed, faked a fake identity, left Sinstar with Xiao Huangdou, and escaped before the war swept through.)

Yilin cried bitterly, and even left her last relative. After returning to the imperial capital with the fake ashes left by Yi Chengze, she stayed with her benefactor Si Huaixi to help him with complicated affairs.

Seeing that the time is almost up, Irene reminded: “Your Majesty, it’s almost time to be invited to the wedding, and I have the car ready and can leave at any time.”

Si Huaixi’s eyes dimmed. Three years have passed, and when Brother Pei’s original friend is getting married, if Brother Pei is also…

“Well, I’ll go later.”

Irene: “There is also a public welfare activity, and I want His Majesty’s approval. Zhou Wenjia, the owner of Star Entertainment, wants to hold a parent-child public welfare variety show called “Traveling with Dad”, inviting famous artists to travel with their children. , all the proceeds will be donated to the Blue Boat Empire Orphanage…”

Si Huaixi: “I approved it and donated a privately to the Blue Boat Empire Orphanage from my account.”

However, Irene continued: “But there is a problem. In fact, the Blue Boat Empire Orphanage is not short of funds. We will allocate funds to the orphanage every year…”

“The dean has made a special request. Every year, children who have lost their parents due to various accidents enter the orphanage. Although the imperial funds can support them until they reach adulthood, the dean still hopes to find a family for the orphans. One child is selected from the orphanage to participate in this variety show, and then a surrogate father is found to take care of the child, so as to promote the orphanage so that more children can be seen and adopted by the outside world.”

Si Huaixi lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and felt that there was nothing wrong with the request, she raised her eyes to look at Irene, and said clearly, “So you want me to participate in this variety show?”

Otherwise, how could Irene explain so much to him? After three years of being filled by Irene with a lot of work experience, Si Huaixi keenly felt that the trouble was coming again.

Feeling the vigilant gaze of His Majesty the King, Irene still kept the friendly smile of the excellent Secretary General, and explained: “Yes, Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity for the people of the Blue Boat Empire to see your kind side, and you can also Solve the problem of the orphanage, why not do it?”

Si Huaixi raised his brows slightly, clasped his hands in front of the king’s desk, and said firmly, “I refuse, you should find a surrogate father who can take care of the child.”

Irene’s smile remained the same: “It’s not that Your Majesty the King, your popularity is relatively high. If you appear on the stage, you will definitely attract a lot of attention!”

Si Huaixi still firmly refused, and recommended several Alphas and Betas in the imperial government and the army who were married and had many children. They must know how to take care of a child.

Next, Si Huaixi went to the wedding of Brother Pei’s former friend Zhou Wenjia.

Yilin still didn’t give up, looked at Si Huaixi’s escaped back, narrowed her eyes and made a phone call.

Si Huaixi rarely took off his black mask. During his time as His Majesty the King, he never showed his true appearance.

But this time he was just an ordinary person who came to attend Brother Pei’s friend’s wedding.

The wedding was lively.

The sea-blue eyes reflected the happy faces of the newlyweds. He was no longer a king at this time, but just an envy outside the laughing and bustling crowd.

Si Huaixi stayed for a while and planned to put down the congratulations and leave.

Originally, Zhou Wenjia and his new wife were chatting, laughing and drinking with the guests. Seeing Si Huaixi’s figure in the crowd, Zhou Wenjia immediately put down the glass and told his wife that he was going to find a friend.

The wife followed Zhou Wenjia’s line of sight and saw the handsome Si Huaixi, and asked in surprise, “Is this an artist in your company? I’ve seen his work.”

Zhou Wenjia laughed twice, and said to his wife, “My small company can’t afford the expensive worth of his big man, but once there was a chance, I almost made him an artist in my company, but it’s a pity…”

Zhou Wenjia’s eyes flashed with regret and sentimentality, recalling his friend Pei Zhaozhou who was killed.

If he was still alive, perhaps this big man would still be willingly taken care of by his friends, and being a canary beside Pei Zhaozhou would be much happier than being a lonely king.

Looking at Si Huaixi’s lonely back when he left.

Zhou Wenjia was moved for a time when his friend met such a person, and felt sad and regretful for Si Huaixi.

No matter when he went, the bouquet in front of Pei Zhaozhou’s tomb looked like someone had just put it on.

He knew that Si Huaixi had never let go of Pei Zhaozhou, as if relying on the traces left by the dead, dragging his hollow and decaying body, he continued to walk in the world alone and hopelessly.

As a friend of Pei Zhaozhou, he looked forward to Si Huaixi being able to walk out of the shadow of Pei Zhaozhou’s death. People always have to move forward.

Zhou Wenjia sighed deeply, thinking of what Secretary-General Yilin told him, Xiaobu ran in front of Si Huaixi, and said with a smile: “After so many years, I didn’t expect it to come when I got married, thank you for coming to my meeting. The wedding, why don’t you stay for a while, have a glass of wine, and let me treat you well.”

Si Huaixi’s eyes moved slightly, but for some reason he agreed.

When I came to the outside of the wedding, the glass door cut off the noisy human voice inside.

Zhou Wenjia handed Si Huaixi a cocktail, like a casual chat among friends.

“How have you been recently? It must be very tiring to be His Majesty the King. When I am the owner of a small entertainment company, I am busy with so many things, hahaha—”

Si Huaixi took a sip of wine, his deep eyes narrowed, and replied, “That’s it, it’s not too busy, but there are many outstanding talents who support this country, and my position is not important.”

Zhou Wenjia’s eyes were slightly stunned, and he lowered his head and smiled helplessly.

This is the first time I have heard that the king’s position is not important. If it is posted on the star network, it will definitely be scolded by angry people, but when Si Huaixi said it himself, he can really feel that everyone in this empire is worshipped by the people. The desired position is really not important to him.

Zhou Wenjia sighed secretly and asked, “Have you thought about finding someone else, he’s been gone for so long.”

“…”

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Both of them knew who he was referring to, and neither dared to say that name easily.

Si Huaixi’s eyes were low, and after a long silence, he said, “No.”

Seeing this, Zhou Wenjia didn’t intend to continue this embarrassing topic. He suddenly suggested, “Since you didn’t plan to find anyone else, have you considered adopting a child?”

Zhou Wenjia said directly: “Irene has come to me and wants to persuade you to participate in my company’s family variety show. I think she cares about you and wants to find something for you to do. As a former friend of Pei Zhaozhou, I also hope that you Being able to come out… Adopting a child is just a suggestion. After all, raising a child is too much trouble, and my nephew makes me quarrel, but it is quite relaxing and enjoyable to simply participate in a variety show, all playing with innocent children. Go relax, what do you think?”

Si Huaixi lowered her eyes and was silent until Zhou Wenjia was about to give up persuasion.

“I’ll think about it,” he said suddenly.

Si Huaixi frowned slightly, and after drinking the rest of the wine, he told Zhou Wenjia to leave.

He did not return to the residence.

Back in the king’s office, everyone was gone by night, and Irene was not there either.

Rarely at leisure, Si Huaixi took out a bottle of brandy from the wine cabinet, sat on the king’s sofa, shook the wine glass, and the fragrance of the translucent brandy overflowed.

Under the semi-dark light, the deep sea blue eyes, like the long silent sea, are about to set off a storm.

Suddenly a bell rang.

Si Huaixi glanced coldly at the communicator on the desktop, it was connected to the king’s hotline, but since it was not open now, he could ignore the communication, but he still got up and took it.

The opposite of the unexpected is a very immature child’s voice.

“Hey—is that His Majesty the King?”

Si Huaixi felt that the child was playing a prank, but he replied patiently: “Yes, I want to ask the child about your parents?”

The child’s immature voice was very serious, and he said to Si Huaixi: “Your Majesty, my name is Xiao Huangdou, this year is three years old and almost four years old. I have something I want to help you. My father has been in a coma for three years. More, although the black-hearted doctor is very skilled, he still failed to save my father… I saw the king’s hotline, Xiao Huangdou felt that His Majesty the King is omnipotent, and I begged His Majesty to save my father.”

… small soybeans.

Si Huaixi suddenly remembered that Brother Pei’s nickname for the unborn child was also Xiao Huangdou. If he was born healthy, he would be almost as old as this child.

The truth is very cruel to this innocent child. He is not a doctor, and he can’t save her father, let alone someone who she thinks is omnipotent. At least… He didn’t save Brother Pei.

“…Sorry, I don’t have the ability to save your father. If you want, you can bring your father to the main star. There are better doctors than me here.”

Si Huaixi’s eyes dimmed, and he said this sentence with a little difficulty.

“Is it really not possible?” Xiao Huangdou was full of tears, chubby little hands wiping the tears, and the pure and clear sea blue eyes were like a clean sea of ​​stars, and the stars fell one by one.

“That black doctor once accidentally said that if he couldn’t wake up for three years, he might become a vegetative person for the rest of his life. Xiao Huangdou didn’t want his father to wake up. I miss my father very much, and I miss another father. Why didn’t my father come? Looking for small soybeans… woo woo…”

Xiao Huangdou usually has a cold face, and is a little cold tyrant among the children, but today I accidentally saw a TV series about the heroine who was in a coma for a year in a car accident, and was declared by the doctor that she would become brain dead if she didn’t wake up. A vegetative person will have a hard time waking up all his life.

Her father has been sleeping for three years, if he really can’t wake up, will he also become a vegetative person who can’t wake up for the rest of his life?

She secretly went to Xingwang to check and asked a black doctor. It happened that he didn’t wake up from a hangover, and he didn’t have the ability to read her mind. She heard her voice, and what the TV series said was true…

The longer you sleep, the harder it is to wake up.

Xiao Huangdou, who has always been strong and independent, finally couldn’t help being afraid. After all, she was only a three-year-old child. She was afraid that her father would leave her and would never wake up.

So she called the king’s hotline. She felt that His Majesty the King, who was omnipotent, would definitely solve the problem for her, but now even His Majesty the King said he couldn’t do it…

Si Huaixi listened to the helpless cry of the unfamiliar child, and seemed to feel the same way.

But he didn’t dare to give her any unrealistic hope, the moment when hope was broken was the cruelest.

The little boy slowly stopped sobbing and said to Si Huaixi with his small fist: “Then Your Majesty, Xiao Huangdou is coming to the Imperial Capital. I heard that my other father is in the Imperial Capital. Soybean can’t… Oh, I can’t say this, he must have a way to wake up Dad!”

Si Huaixi frowned slightly, it sounded like Xiao Huangdou’s father was a liar, a scumbag who lied to Xiao Huangdou’s father after giving birth to a child.

“That’s it! Thank you, His Majesty the King, for listening to Xiao Huangdou. I will come to the Imperial Capital. I hope to meet His Majesty the King!”

Xiao Huangdou hurriedly hung up the communication, because she saw that the black doctor Yi Chengze was about to come over, and quickly turned the sound of the TV to the maximum.

Fortunately, the guy just got up to drink a glass of water, and saw Xiao Huangdou quietly on the TV, he just reminded: “Don’t make such a loud voice, and children should not watch too much TV, their eyes will be blind, listen to my doctor. If so, save electricity.”

Xiao Huangdou rolled his eyes. The last sentence of the black-hearted guy was the truth. He hid the communicator in the crevice of the sofa and shouted lazily, “I know—”

After seeing the black doctor Yi Chengze closing the door, Xiao Huangdou hurriedly jumped off the sofa and wrote a letter that she was going to the imperial capital to find another father and save her father.

After writing, Xiao Huangdou put the letter on the table, carrying a little yellow duck schoolbag, which contained food, clothes and the necessary interstellar coins.

Then…

Little soybean, who was touching her tears, said goodbye to Pei Zhaozhou’s father in the glass medical cabin, and left the house overnight.

But she didn’t find that after she left, Pei Zhaozhou’s eyelashes, who had been sleeping for a long time in the medical cabin, began to vibrate, as if he was about to wake up.

the next day.

Seeing that there was no one at home, the black doctor Yi Chengze thought that Xiao Huangdou ran out to play, but he didn’t expect to return home after dark, and found a handwritten letter left by Xiao Huangdou on the table. She wanted to run away from home and went to find her other father.

Yi Chengze was full of question marks at that time.

After being in a trance, he felt that Xiao Huangdou was joking, but soon Yi Chengze found that Xiao Huangdou had even packed his clothes!

The little brat really ran away from home!

Yi Chengze immediately panicked to look for Xiao Huangdou, but he didn’t expect Pei Zhaozhou to wake up at this time.

The embarrassed and flustered Yi Chengze just went out to find a round of small soybeans, and finally returned home and saw the puddles of water on the ground, and found that the door of the medical cabin was open…

This means.

Yi Chengze saw Pei Zhaozhou dressed and waiting for him in the living room.

There was a big hole in my heart.

– Online urgent! I just lost someone else’s child, what should the parents do? !
