MTL - After the Marriage, I Hid Commander Gao Leng Privately-Chapter 383

  Chapter 383

  Artificial Sea, Danfeng Bailu Palace—

   This is a towering hall, straight into the sky, connected to the sky above, and connected to the sea below. The resplendent hall is like the temple where the gods live in mythology. The long suspended corridors are made of special transparent ice crystals, which are solid and beautiful for thousands of years.

  People walking on it will feel fear and admiration in their hearts.

   Further up there are ninety-nine steps, each step is inlaid with precious gemstones, the magnificence is not enough to describe.

  This is the core of the entire artificial sea. In order to build this imperial palace, the endless artificial sea with choppy waves was deliberately excavated. All of this is just a foil for the imperial palace.

  The current emperor Joseph V lives here.

   In the ten years since his coronation, he has never stepped out.

  Here is where the supreme power of human beings lies. It bestows supreme honor on its owner, but it also becomes a shackle.

  Second Prince Hughes wore a grand dress, stepped up the steps step by step, and came to the huge gate of the palace. The guards on both sides gave way.

  The door opens.

  The glaring sunlight shone into the originally dark hall, and also illuminated the man sitting on the throne.

  In an instant, the hall seemed to be lit up by something, and it became resplendent.

  Surprise flashed in Hughes' eyes, and he didn't dare to recognize the man on the throne.

  Is this still his father?

  How did you age so quickly?

   "The sons and ministers see His Majesty the Father." Hughes walked to the throne and knelt down on one knee.

  Joseph's old and muddy face flashed a trace of mockery, and he waved the hand holding the scepter, "Get up! You don't need to kneel on one knee."

  Hughes twitched his brows, and realized that when the father was crowned, the seven guardian dukes did not visit, and the behavior of not paying homage became his heart disease, and the father would think of it every time someone had luggage.

   "Has the Senate signed the order?"

   "Yes, the Senate requires your presence."

  Hughes understands that this is aimed at His Majesty, but there is nothing he can do about it. The entire Galactic Empire can demand the emperor only the Senate, which was established to restrict the imperial power when the empire was first established.

  But for two thousand years, the Senate seldom dictates to the royal family. When the Senate participates, it means that His Majesty has failed in his duty.

   This is simply a slap in the face of Joseph V.

   It is also another serious blow to imperial power.

  Joseph stood up from the throne, condescending, tall but thin, he pointed to the distance, "Hughes, what do you see from here?"

"The core of the empire." Hughes was fascinated, looking around, the entire aristocratic district could be seen, the military headquarters, the cabinet, and the Senate were all vaguely visible. Something hot in his heart began to boil, screaming and wanting to come out , wanting to control everything.

   "It's ambition."

  The words of Joseph V made Hughes calm down from the boiling emotions as if he had been poured a basin of cold water.

   "When I stood here for the first time, I was just like you now."

"I…"

   "Come to me." Joseph V interrupted Hughes and waved to him: "Come here, stand here."

  Hughes dare not, not everyone can stand before the throne there, not even his own son. But Joseph V was very stubborn and didn't give him any room to refuse. In the end, he had no choice but to walk over in fear.

   "How does it feel now?"

  Joseph V suddenly raised his hand and slammed Hughes down to sit down. The cold throne made Hughes shudder.
