Chapter 578

The Queen followed the Octopus into the Chamber with a restless mood.
It has been more than a month since the old king’s condition worsened, and the queen has not seen the old king.
During this period, she also asked to see her several times, but was always blocked by the old king’s private intelligent AI “Vermilion Bird”, citing the old king’s physical health.
And this time, she can drive straight in.
“Your Majesty!”
As soon as the queen entered the chamber, she immediately ran towards the old king on the throne of thorns with a sad face.
The old king said with a faint smile: “Queen, you are here.”
“Your Majesty! I miss you so much!” The queen is one seat away from the Throne of Thorns The place, respectfully curtsies.
The old king raised his hand weakly, “It’s not that I don’t want to see you—you see my current situation.”
“Your Majesty don’t say such things! I believe Your Majesty will tide over the difficulties and rise again!” The Queen said sincerely.
The old king smiled faintly, and then changed the conversation: “Queen, I don’t have much time, so let’s get straight to the point. You came to me this time for the results of the assessment, right? ?”
The queen looked embarrassed, and said quickly: “Your Majesty, I heard that the Third Princess’ Yongshu star is now Ranked First, I am naturally very happy with the Third Princess’s change, but I think once Success doesn’t mean anything. Third Princess’s achievements are somewhat accidental. In terms of overall strength, Xiong’er is better.”
The old king said: “So, you want me to Give the honor of the first place in the assessment to Xiong’er?”
Queen nodded, “This is not out of selfishness as a mother, but for the future of Zhulu Empire. If Xiong’er does not If he wins this test, then he will become the king of Zhulu Empire in the future, and it will not be justifiable.”
The octopus standing beside him could not help but slightly frowned.
On this occasion, as a subordinate, he felt a little angry when he heard the queen’s remark.
The queen’s words were full of urgency. The old king was still alive, and she already wanted to put her hand on the throne of thorns.
This is too much!
And the old king didn’t look angry at all.
The old king said with a smile: “This time the child test has ended, and the results have been confirmed. As a king, I can’t cheat for personal gain, right? As for Xiong’er, his performance is indeed commendable. But at least in this assessment, he’s not as good as Lin’er.”
“But! Third Princess clearly didn’t do anything! She was just relying on Chen Xing!” The queen said unconvinced.
The old king said as it should be by rights: “Do you think that being a king must be done by yourself? No, sometimes, the best king is to do nothing but choose the most correct one. people.”
Queen fiercely’s startled.
This is the first time in many years that the old king has blunted her request.
She was a little unbelievable and a little unwilling.
“Your Majesty, have you changed your mind and intend to pass the throne to the Third Princess?!”
The old king said with a smile: “Queen, how do you know What was my previous intention? How can I say that I have changed my mind? This heir assessment is just an assessment. Opportunity.”
The queen swallowed hard, “I thought, you prefer males.”
The old king nodded, “I prefer males, there is no doubt about that. But being a father’s preference, and being a Monarch of the entire Country’s chosen heir are two different things. I’m not a wise monarch, and I’ve done a lot of things against the people, but I don’t think I’m a confused monarch
The queen sighed heavily, “However, Your Majesty’s decision will make our male son very sad. Your Majesty You also know that our male son has been born since the day he was born. He has always been competitive. No matter what he does, he has never lost. If he loses to the Third Princess this time, he will definitely feel very uncomfortable.”
The old king said solemnly: “The more That’s the case, the more setbacks he will have to suffer. If he thinks only about victory and can’t bear the blow of defeat, then he simply can’t be a king. He will drag the entire Zhulu Empire into the abyss of destruction.”
The queen blinked in surprise, “Your Majesty, isn’t that too heavy?”
The old king shook the head, “No, it’s not heavy at all. You can Tell him exactly what I said.”
“Your Majesty!”
The Queen was about to say something, but the King of Desire interrupted her with his hand.
The old king announced in an unquestionable tone: “This assessment is over, the First Prince is dead, the Second Prince is defeated, the little Prince worked hard, but the final victory belongs to the Third Princess.”
There was a look of pain in the queen’s big beautiful eyes.
Her son asked her to intercede, but she didn’t have much hope.
But she didn’t expect that the old king was so ruthless on the issue of the heir.
It seems that it is time to make plans.
I can no longer pin my hopes on this dying old king.
Thinking of this, the expression on the queen’s face became calmer.
She curtseyed to the old king in full of smiles, “Your Majesty. You’re wise. I didn’t understand it before, but now I’m completely connected. I’ll tell Xiong Er and let him accept defeat. , let him work hard to hone himself. Even if he can’t inherit the throne of thorns in the end, let him become a person who can assist the king and be useful to the Zhulu Empire.”
The old king was satisfied with the nodded, “This is me The virtuous queen.”
The queen bowed her knees again, “Your Majesty, you should also pay attention to your body, now the Wolf Run Empire is in dire straits, and the stable pattern of Human Race Four Great Empires is on the verge of collapse, Zhulu Empire needs you more than ever, you must live a hundred years!”
The old king said with a smile: “Well, you go, I really should rest.”

The moment the queen turned around, her eyes suddenly turned cold.
This change naturally did not escape the eyes of the octopus.
After the queen walked out of the chamber, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the results of the assessment were not good, it at least pointed her to a new direction.
However, the queen frowned again.
She suddenly realized a problem.
From the very beginning, she felt something was wrong, but she didn’t know what was wrong.
But she didn’t wake up until she left the council room.
The old king should have always been accompanied by Vermilion Bird.
And this time, Vermilion Bird is gone.
What important thing could make the old king’s private intelligent AI go away?
