Chapter 211: Showdown with the Elders
Guan Tan'er looked at the red bellyband in her hand under her brother's somewhat embarrassed gaze, and put the treasure into her own storage container.
If Su Jin likes it, she will wear it every day, maybe...
Guan Shao saw his sister put it away, and then continued: "Don't be discouraged, I just got news that the second prince has sent a message that there are natural treasures that can enhance the effect of conception.
If you are sure of that boy Su Jin, I will go out on a mission to find him for you. The Second Prince can find him, but with the power our family has, there is no way we can't find him."
"That's impossible. I've only heard of natural treasures that can preserve the fetus, but I've never heard of natural treasures that can aid pregnancy." Guan Tan'er questioned.
"How is it impossible? This world is so big that it's hard to imagine.
I heard that the second prince obtained a rare treasure from the Sea of Strange Beasts. The tree was full of fruits that looked like little babies, and the second prince called them baby fruits.
This baby fruit has the effect of aiding pregnancy because it is rare and has a long fruiting period.
The Second Prince's people are stepping up their research on fertility-enhancing elixirs, and they are already making some progress."
Guan Shao sighed and continued, "Our family and the Su family clearly stand on the side of the Crown Prince, so it is impossible for us to accept the Second Prince's favor.
I thought that since the interstellar world already had such a natural treasure as the Baby Fruit, there might be other natural treasures that could help with pregnancy.”
Guan Tan'er's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. The Second Prince really had a big plan. The issue of offspring was so important to the aristocratic families.
The previous awakening potion was still okay, but now the elixir for aiding pregnancy has grasped the main artery of the aristocratic family.
The top families are better and won’t take sides easily.
I don’t know how many of the second-tier families below chose to switch sides.
After Su Jin of Simu Star called his father, he realized how serious the situation on Di Star was.
The alliance between the Su and Guan families will not break up, but the clan is also stirring up trouble over the issue of offspring.
Su Jin made his attitude clear and his marriage with Guan Tan'er continued.
He still revealed a little information, that the issue of offspring was not a problem, he had a way to solve it.
The head of the Su family listened to his son and immediately set about suppressing the opposition voices within the clan. He apologized to the Guan family and stated that the engagement remained unchanged.
After Su Jin hung up the call, he thought about what had happened recently.
The Second Prince has come up with so many things, obviously trying to build momentum for himself. The Crown Prince's situation is worrying.
He quickly called Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao told him to be patient, to put the news about Si Muxing aside for the time being and to prepare for the wedding parade first.
At the prince’s wedding, according to the rules, the prince’s personal troops were reviewed to show their strength.
The 5th Army has been recruiting new members recently. A full-scale legion must have at least people.
The 3th Army has recruited nearly new troops, and is currently undergoing intensive training.
Su Jin heard this and said, "Don't worry about the military parade. The new soldiers' training and equipment are ready. We will set off to Emperor Star tonight."
Ling Xiao nodded and said nothing more. He was still confident in Su Jin's abilities.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Xiao thought about it and decided to go directly into the palace to look for the elders.
He was confident that he had ways to counter Ling Zhen, but he also had to appease the hearts of the elders who supported him.
When the elders of the clan council heard that Ling Xiao had entered the palace, they hurried over.
"Prince, you have to be careful. Some people may be wavering."
An elder of the clan said to the elder who used to be close to the second prince.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I will definitely follow the Emperor of Heaven's Mandate."
The old emperor didn't look at the noisy elders, but looked at Ling Xiao.
Among all the people present, the one who has the most confidence in the Emperor of Heaven's Mandate is none other than him.
He saw with his own eyes the ancestral dragon throne orb enter his son's spiritual power.
Even though the second brother is making such a big fuss now, it is not as shocking as the one Ling Xiao gave him back then.
Ling Xiao said slowly: "Father, elders, don't be anxious."
He handed the talent awakening potion with a 100% awakening rate that Academician Ling and Xue Rou had just developed to everyone.
Everyone was shocked when they looked at the medicine and the lab report.
Holy shit, he is worthy of being the emperor of destiny. Every time he makes a move, the potion is 100% perfect.
Ling Xiao looked at the people who were discussing and said, "There is a mysterious force that has been conducting large-scale human experiments and has captured and imprisoned many talented people as star slaves.
I have been tracking this force, but just when I thought I had caught it, it quickly escaped and disappeared without a trace.
At that time, I knew that the forces behind this must be very far-reaching, and even the royal family might be involved.”
An elder quickly retorted, "Impossible. My royal family would never do something as immoral as conducting evil human experiments."
"That's right. None of the laboratories controlled by my Ling Group are involved in these messy things."
The Ling royal family follows the upright way of the king and holds most of the power of the country, so there is no need for them to do these things behind the scenes.
To be honest, if they really wanted to conduct human experiments, with the Ling royal family's reputation in the empire, if they got the word out, there would be many people who would sacrifice themselves for science.
The Ling royal family disdains to do so.
"Don't worry, elders. According to my investigation, the Ling family is indeed not involved in this evil organization, but is it possible that they have become the umbrella of this evil organization?"
The elders were silent. The Ling royal family would indeed not get involved, but there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be a few pests who broke the rules.
“With such a large scale of mysterious forces, to have the royal family as a protective umbrella, one must have a high status to a certain extent.
We elders supervise each other, so it is impossible for one person to do such a thing without the others noticing it."
The old emperor interrupted with a gloomy face, "It wasn't done by the elders of the clan. If I'm guessing correctly, it should have been done by my rebellious son."
The elders were shocked and blurted out: "Impossible!"
It's no wonder they were shocked, as the royal family had been instilled with the concept of kingly ways since childhood.
If a direct descendant really did such a thing, once the incident was exposed, not only would he lose his chance of becoming emperor, but his surname would also be abolished and his bloodline would be expelled from the royal family tree.
The risks and benefits are not proportional at all. Can Ling Zhen really do such a thing?
Ling Xiao slowly said: "It's just a suspicion at the moment. The awakening potion in Ling Zhen's hand is very strange, and Academician Ling has not yet researched the specific ingredients.
I do not recommend issuing this inferior medicine."
An elder immediately seconded the proposal: "I agree. It would be bad if this medicine had any side effects."
"That's right. Since the prince has a 100% safe medicine in his hands, it's better not to issue this inferior medicine."
"My fellow elders, this awakening potion is all thanks to my wife Hua Ran. The research and development of the potion is already very mature, and the raw materials can also be supplied in large quantities..."
Ling Xiao interrupted their discussion and began to seek benefits for Hua Ran.
Although the elders were surprised, they still chose to believe Ling Xiao's words.
Before, under the halo of Ling Xiao Tian Ming Emperor, no one cared about Hua Ran.
Now it seems that Hua Ran is really not a simple person, she is worthy of being someone close to the Emperor of Destiny.
