The blue floating car moved forward slowly on the star track, with the Xia family's emblem floating on the door.
All registered imperial nobles have their own family's exclusive emblem. Engraving it on the car door can fully demonstrate the noble status.

Driving all the way from the central star system to the not-so-distant Empire Capital Star, with this emblem, the journey was smooth, and even the security check was a special fast lane.

Xia Mengrou looked out the car window and saw that there were fewer and fewer hovercars outside, the roads were getting wider and wider, and the surrounding cold and tall steel buildings were gradually replaced by spacious green avenues and garden fountains.
Farther away, hidden behind the forest protection and sky protection walls, are magnificent, elegant and noble manor buildings.

This is the area specially designated for the imperial nobles in the capital star. Nobles with insufficient titles are not eligible to move in. Walking along the green avenue, the end of the area is the center of the capital star, which is the imperial palace.
So there is an unspoken rule that the closer a noble manor is to the palace, the more status it can show.

In front of this group of old nobles, a behemoth that has been passed down for many years, the Xia family can indeed only be regarded as a new rich among the new rich.After all, the entire Xia family only had Xia Yanzhang, an old marshal of the holy rank, who successfully joined the military and became a relatively hot upstart nowadays.

"Miss, the master has arrived."

Finally, the hover car stopped at a spot in the middle of the boulevard.
The maids opened the car door for her.

Obviously, even if Xia Mengrou comes back, the Xia family will not be able to send someone to greet her, but as the eldest daughter of the Xia family, the family does not allow her to show inappropriate posture or emotional management on any occasion.So before getting off the bus, Xia Mengrou checked her clothes, straightened her back, and got off the bus with her handbag.

The opened car door faced the Xia family manor.
Of course, the door was empty, no one was there.

The monocle worn by the housekeeper flashed with light, and she quickly took two steps forward: "Miss, let's go to the bedroom first."

"it is good."

Xia Mengrou responded and walked from the path in the garden to the side door of the manor.
It was only then that there were really some people in the huge Xia family manor.Several gardeners who were tending the garden looked back and quickly took off their hats.

Xia Mengrou nodded to them with a smile.
Two maids from the master's house stood at the side door. After seeing her, they stopped talking and bowed casually.

"Is grandpa back?" Faced with their attitudes, Xia Mengrou asked in a low voice without paying much attention.

The maid covered her mouth and chuckled, not hiding the contempt in her smile at all: "As for Miss Rou, how can servants like us know whether the Marshal can come back?"

Not getting the answer she wanted, Xia Mengrou pursed her lips.
However, she did not continue to say more. Instead, she continued to straighten her back, like a proud swan, and walked into the door with her head held high.

Unfortunately, this attitude did not last long.
Because there was a person leaning on the railing on the second floor inside the side door.

Seeing her, a flash of fear flashed deep in Xia Mengrou's pupils, and she quickly lifted up her skirt: "Mother."

Hearing these words, the elegant lady wearing a gorgeous retro palace dress gave her a condescending look, and then continued to have a video call with her daughter on the light screen, criticizing her.

"Dan Xue, if you, the real lady, don't come back during this holiday, it will allow some people who can't tell who they are to occupy the magpie's nest, which will give them an opportunity."

"Mother." The girl who was training on the light screen frowned: "Don't talk about my sister like that."

"You are just too kind. You always speak up for this bastard."
Guan Xuan rolled her eyes: "Forget it, what are you doing now?"

"Next year's academy qualifying competition, Bauhinia is rehearsing."

"No wonder, the head of the melee department is busy. You are really my mother's proud daughter. Unlike some people, who eat and drink from the family, don't even look down on the courses for ladies, and want to jump out when they sharpen their heads. Weigh how much you weigh. You have to rely on letters of recommendation to get into the Silver Star. You don’t even have the fourth level. Do you want to join the army after graduation? What is your big dream? Your cousin Xia Jingjing has said it, and she doesn’t know whether she will be in the Silver Star. No matter how high I have climbed, even if I tell the truth on the forum, I will be asked to delete the post. I am very capable."

"mom!"

Across the corridor, Xia Mengrou slowly returned to her room.

After closing the door, the housekeeper was even angrier than she was: "Mother is getting more and more excessive. What do you mean by eating the Xia family and using the Xia family? These are obviously your mother's pension as a martyr of the empire."

"It's okay. It's natural for my mistress to hate me. If the Xia family didn't apply for it for me, the pension wouldn't be paid."
Xia Mengrou shook her head: "You put your things away and go out. I'm a little tired."

After instructing the maids to put her things away and telling them not to disturb her again, Xia Mengrou threw herself onto the bed.

Staring at the complicated and gorgeous books on the top of the bed, she blinked slowly.

In fact, Xia Mengrou didn't want to go home during this holiday.
It was only when she heard that her grandfather would come from the Marshal's Mansion that she hurried back to the Xia family's residence.

After thinking about it, Xia Mengrou fell asleep, maybe because she was too sleepy.
When she woke up, it was dark outside.

She rolled over from the bed and was about to wash her face and go to the kitchen to find something to eat when she heard a knock on the door: "Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Miss, the old marshal came back not long ago."

"Grandpa is back?!"
Xia Mengrou was surprised and happy, "I'll come right away."

After hurriedly dressing up, she changed into a long home dress and trotted down the corridor.
Unfortunately, it was indeed a long sleep. It was almost midnight, and the lights were turned off in many places in the main house. Only the reception room was still on.

Before she even got close, Xia Mengrou heard the noise inside.

"Why wasn't that woman's fault what happened back then? If it hadn't been for her, the battle I was presiding over would never have been lost!"

"Chengsheng, you know very well that there is no reason to express your anger. You and Miss Guan were not engaged at that time. Strictly speaking, Mengrou is not an illegitimate daughter at all."
Xia Yanzhang's old voice sounded a little tired: "It's understandable that you married Miss Guan and wanted the Xia family to move up. I don't expect you to speak for Mengrou, but you shouldn't vent your anger on Mengrou. Mengrou has suffered so many years of infamy for no reason, and she is innocent."

"She is innocent? She has a mother who insisted on giving birth to her. Her birth led to a defeat on the battlefield and I was implicated, so she is not innocent." The head of the Xia family sneered: "Father, you said that I express my anger, then you Isn't it also partiality? Xia Mengrou did not inherit our family's mimicry at all, but inherited her mother's mimicry, so you know you are partial to her."

"If she was really sensible, Xia Mengrou shouldn't go to Yinxing. In terms of talent and background, how can she compare to Dan Xue? Besides, Guan Xuan and I are just getting what we need. She has been with me a long time ago. Otherwise, Danxue could be bigger than Xia Mengrou? Guan Xuan still agreed to the engagement even though she knew how many people I had outside. If it weren't for the marriage between the Xia family and the Guan family, their family might have their current status in the military?"

The next second, the sound of thick books falling was heard in the reception room.
In an instant, the huge coercion of the high-ranking saints covered the entire manor, and they quickly retreated back just as they were about to alarm the executive officer of the imperial city not far away.

Facing the red marks on his forehead caused by the book, the head of the Xia family did not dare to keep silent at all, and stood gritting his teeth. "Chengsheng, this is the last time I talk to you calmly." Xia Yanzhang said solemnly: "The situation on the front line is so urgent. If anything happens to me, you must be prepared to shoulder the responsibility."

"The entire imperial aristocracy is a huge vanity fair. If you wallow in the vanity fair for too long, you will eventually lose yourself. Why don't you think about it carefully, how long has it been since you were born in the military and have not been on the battlefield? It's your own fault. The mistake you made has destroyed your confidence, how can you shoulder the responsibility of the family like this?"

"This Zerg attack is fierce and will not be so easy. I am ready to sacrifice my life for the country."
"And you, for so many years, I have been on the battlefield less than controlling you. You have been so busy and anxious, which makes me very disappointed."

At the corner, Xia Mengrou covered her mouth and backed away with tears streaming down her face.
She trotted all the way back to her room.

This was the first time she heard her elders talk about her life experience.In the past, no one told her this. Everything was learned from bystanders.What she just heard, no matter which sentence it was, was enough to make her lose her composure.
But Xia Mengrou sadly discovered that even if she knew this, there was nothing she could do.

After getting up the next day, Xia Mengrou had a pair of big swollen eyes.
She applied an ice pack for a while and hurriedly got up. However, she was disappointed to hear from the servants the news that Marshal Xia left the master's house overnight and rushed to the Marshal's Mansion last night.

"Miss, the old marshal left you a video before leaving."
Before she could feel sad, the housekeeper handed over the storage device.

Marshal Xia's face appeared on the light screen.

"Mengrou, grandpa is going to the front line."
His old face was not as stern as it used to be in front of his subordinates, but instead was full of kindness: "You should take good care of yourself, study hard at Silver Star, and wait until grandpa comes back to see you."

In the Star Network News playing loudly on the other side, the host was speaking rapidly.

"Recently, the front line of the Scorching Sun Pass has been in critical condition. The Zerg are approaching fiercely. At present, the Imperial Military Department has urgently dispatched all major legions to return to defense. The Third Legion, which has completed the Privy Council investigation in recent years, also accepted troops from the Marshal's Office this morning. The warships have sailed out of the capital Star Military Port. "

On the first day of the Divine Grace Festival, the annual blessing ceremony of the Temple of Light has not yet begun, but such big news broke out, and the hot search on Star Network has already caused a stir.
Because at the beginning, both imperial experts and high-level military officials predicted that the Zerg attack this year would be just a routine attack. Unexpectedly, the Zerg had been like eating explosives in the past few days, forcibly moving the main army to the front line, and even planned to launch an attack. Bug attack.

If the prediction is true, this may become another major battle launched by the Zerg in recent years.

News of the Marshal's expedition was broadcast in the streets and alleys.
Xia Yanzhang, wearing a military uniform and the honorary badge of marshal rank, stood in front of the camera with a serious expression.

The Empire and the Federation have sent troops to defend themselves, and the strong festive atmosphere has been diluted by the intensifying pace of the war.

There seems to be a shadow cast over people's hearts.
War is coming.

In the early morning, Xuanyuan Sheng also got up early.
He was practicing the boxing skills taught to him by Yuan Hanshuang in the royal garden of the palace. As soon as he had done a set, he turned around and saw the Minister of National Defense and several senior military officials hurriedly walking towards the conference hall.

Xuanyuan Sheng was confused and couldn't help but follow him to take a look, but he was stopped as soon as he arrived at the door of the meeting hall.

"Sorry, Your Highness, the Crown Princess is discussing something inside."

"Why can't I listen to my mother's discussion?"
The blond little imperial grandson frowned: "You go and report it."

On the other side, the Crown Princess was angry: "Take a few side branches first!"

"Most of the existing members of the royal family were killed or injured in the Doomsday Insect Wave, and now there are only a limited number of people who can be transferred to the front line. Now that the situation is unknown, how can you ensure the safety of every member of the royal family and ensure that their power is used on the edge?"

"Your Majesty," the military minister said hesitantly.

"My father is ill and I will be in charge of this war."

The Crown Princess sat on a stool at the side of the meeting hall.
Xuanyuan Tong is a middle-aged woman with short hair, a capable and neat temperament, and a calm and authoritative expression.

Obviously they were born from the same queen, but unlike the third princess Xuanyuan Chuxue's softness, Xuanyuan Tong's appearance inherited more of the majesty and meanness of the old emperor.
For example, when she said this, she leaned slightly and said firmly: "Soon the Privy Council will issue a regency order. If there is difficulty on the front line, I will go to the front line to provide support as soon as possible."

After the Minister of Military Affairs left, the Minister of National Defense was worried: "According to the third part of the prophecy obtained by the royal family, if the prophecy is confirmed, the insect swarm may be menacing this time, and it is not simple. Could it be that this time it will be more dangerous than the doomsday insect wave?" Will it lead to the destruction of the country?"

"What prophecy? What destruction of the country?" Xuanyuan Sheng, who had just been allowed to leave, walked into the meeting hall and asked subconsciously.

Xuanyuan Tong glanced at his unsatisfactory son and stood up suddenly: "According to the contents on the SSS code-named Miracle Ancient Civilization Relics Prophecy Board, the Holy Xiyi Xia Empire can only be passed down for 320 five generations."

The Miracle Relic is the largest and most dangerous 3S prehistoric relic mined in the interstellar world today. All cultural relics about prehistoric superhumans have been excavated from there. It has also been a popular center for research by experts and scholars for many years.

The old emperor currently in office is the 324th emperor of the Holy Xiyi Xia Empire.
Judging from the old emperor's deteriorating physical condition in the past two years, the princess is likely to be the next successor.

No matter which emperor, knowing that he may be the last emperor of a huge empire that has been inherited for thousands of years, he will have some bad emotions.The Crown Princess was no exception. Her expression was extremely gloomy, as if she had figured out who the founder of the next dynasty would be and ordered them to be captured and beheaded in advance.

Suddenly learning that the dynasty established by the Xuanyuan Empire would come to an end in the hands of his mother, Xuanyuan Sheng was equally worried: "Did the prophecy board say what the next dynasty will be?"

"Say it." The Crown Princess walked to the center of the meeting hall and put her hands behind her back: "The founding emperor of the next generation of dynasty was born from the Xuanyuan family. The biggest sign is that his mimicry is extremely special. However, no such person has been born in the royal family now."

"Yes." As a confidant of the Crown Princess, the Minister of National Defense naturally knew the content of the prophecy, and followed it with a postscript: "According to the prophecy, at this point in time, the founding emperor of the next dynasty should be in his teens. But now, even though Looking at all the members of the royal family, none of His Highness fits the prophecy.”

"So what is the original text of the prophecy?"

"The mysterious bird of destiny, descended to give birth to quotient."
The Crown Princess turned back and said firmly: "Her mimicry is pure black, which is the opposite of the Golden Family."
