On the seventh day of the third month of the 3067th year of the lunar calendar, the war that had lasted for four years finally ended.
The Yuri Empire, which rose on the ruins of the Red Alliance, was attacked from both sides by the Allied Forces and the Shenzhou Empire. Finally, on this day, its last bastion was breached by the army led by Ning Qingxuan, the Crown Prince of the Shenzhou Empire.
The news quickly spread throughout the world, and people in every country under the anti-Yuri coalition spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate.
In the imperial capital of the Shenzhou Empire, in the Guanzhong city of Chang'an, countless people from various markets gathered on the avenue in front of the imperial Suzaku Palace, cheering "Long live the empire, long live the emperor, and long live his highness!"
Not only did all the major stores start offering crazy discounts, even the singing girls who performed in Pingkangfang spontaneously began to sing for everyone for free.
The story of the Crown Prince of Shenzhou bidding farewell to the Emperor in Chang'an and leading his troops on a long expedition to defeat the barbarians was constantly being sung in major restaurants and teahouses, and everyone was looking forward to the day when their Crown Prince would return to the court.
According to various rumors, although the army will be stationed on the front battlefield for a period of time, one to clean up the war and the other to restore local order, His Highness himself will return home soon.
There is also news that after His Highness returns home this time, the Emperor and the Empress, the most noble couple in the empire and even the whole world, will begin selecting a Crown Princess for the heir to the empire, their only prince.
For a time, all the prominent families in Chang'an and even the entire empire began to make plans.
Although the empire did not have explicit legal provisions to abolish the ancient system of monogamy and multiple concubines, as time has developed to the present day, not many people follow the concubine system.
In order to demonstrate progress, the royal family has had only one queen in the emperor's harem since a hundred years ago, and no other concubines.
In other words, if a daughter of the right age was chosen, she would definitely be the prince's principal wife and the future empress of the empire.
However, what almost no one knew was that on the night when Yuri's last fortress was breached, while it was rumored that His Highness was still at the front line presiding over the aftermath, several Luanniao shuttles cut through the sky and flew to Chang'an City, which had extremely strict air control, and even landed directly in the Suzaku Palace.
A branch of the Imperial Medical Service.
In a ward heavily guarded by the soldiers of the Longyan Army, the Emperor Ning Junkang of the Empire stood with his hands behind his back, brows furrowed, staring at a group of imperial doctors who were surrounding the Crown Prince Ning Qingxuan.
Combining traditional pulse diagnosis with comprehensive testing using modern medical equipment, it wasn't long before a report was submitted to Ning Junkang.
Ning Junkang waved his hand and asked directly: "I don't understand these, just tell me how the emperor is doing?"
The director of the Imperial Hospital, a leading figure in the imperial medical field, was an old man over fifty years old. He first bowed to Ning Junkang and then replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, your pulse is stable and healthy, and all physical indicators are normal. The only problem is..."
"What is it?"
Ning Junkang's tone did not change at all, but the aura that came from holding the power of the world made him cast his eyes on Xiang Jing, which immediately made this medical authority who was also quite famous all over the world feel his scalp tingling.
Pursing his dry lips, he said respectfully, "Your Highness' brain wave detection cannot be performed. None of our equipment can accurately capture and feedback Your Highness' brain wave signals."
"reason?"
He refused to respond and could only lower his already bent body even lower.
In an instant, all the doctors in the ward felt a weight as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down on their shoulders, and even the air became sticky.
After a long silence, Ning Junkang's voice finally rang out.
"He is the crown prince of the empire and the future heir to the entire Shenzhou. Nothing can happen to him."
""""We will do our best to ensure that Your Highness is safe."""""
All the imperial doctors immediately made a promise. Ning Junkang looked at them deeply, then waved his sleeves and came to the bedside.
Looking at Ning Qingxuan, who was lying on the hospital bed and had a look that was 70% similar to his own, and who looked like him when he was younger, Ning Junkang's eyes gradually became dim.
He couldn't imagine where the Shenzhou Empire would go if something happened to Ning Qingxuan.
It seems to be because of the fairness of heaven. As the royal family, the Ning family has always had difficulty in having offspring. Each emperor usually has only one child, so there are many empresses in the history of the Shenzhou Empire.
In his generation, although Ning Qingxuan has a sister from the same mother, Princess Qing'an Ning Lanyin, the child is only five or six years old now.
Moreover, in terms of fame, Ning Qingxuan has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Almost no one has considered the possibility that Ning Qingxuan may not become the next emperor.
Once something happens to Ning Qingxuan, not only the Shenzhou Empire, but the situation in the entire world will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Ning Junkang raised his head and gently stroked Ning Qingxuan's face. He took another deep look at her before turning and leaving.
When I was walking out of the ward, someone suddenly came up to me and handed me a file bag with the words "Top Secret" printed on it.
Ning Junkang took the file bag, waved away his attendants, walked aside, opened the bag, took out the documents inside, and examined them carefully.
His brows were getting more and more furrowed.
The document records the physical examination report of the purple-haired girl who appeared from the mysterious crack at the last moment.
After colliding with Ning Qingxuan, they both fainted and fell from the sky. Then Ning Qingxuan and the purple-haired girl were sent to Chang'an together.
As a result, the person in charge ordered all participants to sign the highest confidentiality agreement on the spot.
"...After attempting a routine physical examination, lightning and an extremely strong electromagnetic barrier of unknown origin suddenly appeared around the body, preventing anyone and any equipment from approaching?"
"Thunder…"
Ning Junkang crumpled the report in his hand into a ball of paper.
He couldn't help but think of Ning Qingxuan. Isn't his own son extremely rare, even unique, among billions of humans, someone who has the innate ability to control the surrounding electromagnetic field with his personal will?
"Could it be that Qingxuan's coma is related to her?"
Ning Junkang looked back at Ning Qingxuan's ward and fell into deep thought.
"The report said that she was wearing a large furisode kimono and was suspected to be from the Far Eastern Kingdom of the Rising Sun... Oh, it seems that the royal family of the Rising Sun should be mobilized."
"How could such a person appear in your own country and you hide it from the Empire?"
Ning Junkang suppressed his brows and let a sneer escape from the corner of his mouth.
