A few days later.
Imperial Palace, Xu Tianran’s study.
Xu Tianran was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the quiet palace outside the window, feeling melancholy.
“Have the oranges come yet?”
Xu Tianran frowned slightly and said with some displeasure.
"Your Highness, Miss Orange is not here yet." A waiter responded in a low voice.
Hearing this, Xu Tianran became increasingly depressed.
I don’t know why, but he always felt something was wrong these days, feeling uncomfortable and uncomfortable all over.
Generally speaking, as a titled Douluo, immune to all diseases, this kind of thing would never happen.
The biggest possibility is heart disease.
He guessed that it might be because he hadn't seen oranges for too long.
Generally speaking, Orange will visit him every three days.
But since that Bai Zhou appeared, Orange hasn't come to see him for a long time.
Under normal circumstances, he would not summon Orange.
But he was really upset these days and couldn't wait to see Orange, so he sent a message to Orange through Wechat.
Orange also gave a reply of "on the way".
But half a quarter of an hour had passed and Orange hadn't come yet, which made him feel depressed, but he was too embarrassed to send a message to urge Orange, lest Orange think he was in a hurry.
At this moment, the voice of the attendant came from outside: "Your Highness, Miss Orange wants to see you."
"Quick, let her in."
Xu Tianran heard this Yan, his mood suddenly improved, and he quickly spoke.
Soon, an orange figure walked in quickly, and then knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Orange greets His Highness."
"Get up, didn't I say that there is no need between you and me? Is that so?" Xu Tianran waved his hand gently, and a soft force overflowed, trying to lift the orange.
But this gentle force was suppressed by the orange.
Jingezi lowered his head and said with a look of self-blame: "Due to the college duties these days, Orange has not been able to meet me in time. Please forgive me."
Of course she knew, Why did Xu Tianran summon her?
On weekdays, she comes here once or twice a week.
But this time because of Bai Zhou, she didn’t come to see Xu Tianran. Even Xu Tianran noticed something...
Others don’t know, but she knows Xu Tianran’s character best. .
Ever since he lost his lower body, his whole person has become particularly gloomy, and his personality has also been erratic. I don’t know how many of his subordinates were killed by Xu Tianran because of a word or a look. Among them, there were even more Xu Tianran's confidant.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Even if she is a close confidant around Xu Tianran, she does not dare to be careless and cannot catch Xu Tianran's flaws.
At the same time, she also secretly reflected...
She has to quit sex in the future, and she can no longer mess around with Bai Zhou, lest she loses her mind and offends Xu Tianran... When the time comes, she will definitely harm Bai Zhou. I will regret it for the rest of my life.
"Haha, Orange, you are out of touch now. You are my confidant, not my slave. You have your own things, just do it by yourself. You don't need to report to me often. Get up quickly. "
Xu Tianran was in a good mood when he saw that Orange was so sensible. He quickly controlled the wheelchair and came to Orange, helped Orange up personally, and then said: "I only came to you this time because of some things. I want to discuss it with you, but it’s not safe to use a microcard, so I want to discuss it with you in person.”
Of course Xu Tianran couldn’t say that he called her here because he missed Orange so much. After all, he also wanted to save face, so he naturally had to find an excuse.
"Oh, is Your Highness in trouble?" Orange was stunned for a moment, and then asked with concern.
With Orange's intelligence, she naturally knew that this might be just an excuse, but she would never expose it directly, otherwise it would be a slap in the face.
It is naturally impossible for Orange to do such a thing of seeking death.
"Haha, it's not an important thing. It's just that the crazy people from the Holy Spirit Sect recently want a few cities for their development... Which cities do you think would be better to hand over to them?"
Xu Tianran looked up at Orange and asked lightly.
It's not that he has nothing to say, but that this matter is indeed a big trouble. He has wanted to discuss it with Orange for a long time, but Orange never came.
"What! Didn't they already ask for three cities last time, and now they want 10 cities at once! This is too much, we must not give it to them!"
Orange Smell After saying that, he was suddenly shocked and subconsciously vetoed.
Hearing that Orange had vetoed his decision, Xu Tianran felt an inexplicable rage in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
If anyone else had said that, it would already be a corpse now.
But since it is an orange, he will still choose to forgive.
Xu Tianran glanced at Juzi and said calmly: "Father's health is deteriorating. There should not be many days left. The competition for the throne has entered a critical moment. I need the Holy Spirit Sect to do things for me, so I have already agreed to them. "
"I came to you this time just to ask which cities you think will cause the least loss to us."
Xu Tianran said quietly, in a few words. In just one moment, the life and death of people in ten cities are determined.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, it was Orange who made a mistake..." Orange then realized and quickly lowered his head.
But there was endless sadness and deep disappointment in her heart.
This is Xu Tianran. For the sake of his own foundation, he will do whatever it takes, and he will even sacrifice the lives of people in several cities in exchange for the support of the Holy Spirit Sect...
Last time she didn't It can prevent the fall of three cities, this time, it is a full 10 cities...
As long as these cities are handed over to the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult, the residents in them will become the cauldron and fuel for the cultivation of evil soul masters.
He once secretly investigated the three cities managed by the Holy Spirit Cult. On the surface, they seemed like nothing, but in fact, they were already hells on earth.
"Orange, I know you are soft-hearted, but no one who can sit in our position has clean hands. If you want to achieve great things, how can you not sacrifice."
"As long as When I sit on the throne, I can definitely lead the Sun and Moon Empire to become the strongest in the continent! The sacrifices of those people are all worth it."
Xu Tianran patted Orange on the shoulder, with purple eyes. Infinite ambition shines in it.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, Orange has failed you..." Orange suppressed the grief in his heart, lowered his head, and spoke softly.
Although she had known Xu Tianran's true face, hearing Xu Tianran say such heartless words made her feel uncontrollably sad.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Xu Tianran waved his hand gently, then looked at Juzi with a smile and said, "I know you have been busy recently, but you just want to have a meal with me. The meal should be fine~"
"Of course, it's an honor for Orange to have dinner with His Highness." Orange knew that he couldn't refuse this time, so he forced a smile and reluctantly agreed.
Compared to eating with Bai Zhou, Xu Tianran was naturally less likely to touch her while eating. Instead, he liked to talk about his ambitions and plans.
But in Orange's heart, there was some inexplicable resistance and rejection.
On the contrary, eating with Bai Zhou can help her relax more and enjoy the food.
