Chapter 1122

You are dreaming!

After hearing the old Emperor's rare "true feelings revealed," the Princess pursed her lips and remained silent, while Li Ang on the side was almost angered to laughter.

Although he knew that the old Emperor fainted early and didn't know the current situation, when he said this, it really pulled the comedic effect to the full.

At the moment, the rebels under his command... cough cough... the enthusiastic citizens called by the Princess have basically controlled the Wang Gong and are collecting weapons from the guards.

And the opposition councilors were caught cleanly by the space anomalous object holders among the rebels when they left the Parliament and got into their respective carriages. Now they don't know where they are stacked in a small dark room.

It can be said that there are not many people left in the entire Capital who "have the final say." At least in these few days, the upper-level power will be in a complete vacuum, basically wanting to take over however they want.

Although the garrison army rushing over a few streets away is the old Emperor's die-hard confidant, only listening to his orders alone, and also mastering heavy firepower, they can't be blocked by the average level of the "enthusiastic citizens" military school dropouts. Theoretically, there is still a possibility of a comeback.

But now the old Emperor, the Queen, and the Prince are all in his hands. How can the garrison army make a comeback?

At that time, hang these three goods outside the gate of the Wang Gong. If you have the ability, you can fire the cannon. If you blow one up, you will go to a military court. If you blow two up, you will be shot on the spot. If all three are blown up, the Princess will succeed to the throne on the spot!

In short, this game of chess has been completely checkmated.

Now, instead of ordering Watching Watching Qiaoshuya to treat Veronika better, it is better to consider Watching Watching Qiaoshuya carefully. When marrying a female monkey for him, should he find a slim one or a plump one?

?!!!

From the silent silence of the Princess, vaguely perceiving something, the old Emperor's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly, the slight warmth that had just been revealed on his face disappeared without a trace, and he asked with a gloomy face:

"Veronika? What did you do?"

"Father."

Without answering the old Emperor's question, after the Princess was silent for a while, she directly met the old Emperor's gloomy and ruthless eyes, which contained a hint of panic, and responded calmly:

"I will be a good Emperor."

"..."

"Also, for the sake of your words just now, I will treat Watching Watching Qiaoshuya well. If the Minister of Finance is cooperative enough, I won't do anything to him and the Queen. You can rest assured to retire."

"..."

After hearing the Princess's words, looking at her eyes that contained sadness in her calmness, the old Emperor's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say it, just turned his head and said in a low voice:

"Sorry."

"There is nothing worth apologizing for. Haven't you always been like this?"

The Princess bit her lip, pushed the old Emperor's wheelchair out of the study, handed it to the female official outside the door, instructed her to push the old Emperor to rest, and then stood by the window blown up by Li Ang, looking down in a daze.

"Veronika?"

Feeling that the Princess's mood seemed a little wrong, neither the joy of successfully seizing the throne nor the relaxation after achieving the goal, but rather a sense of sadness, Li Ang couldn't help but ask softly:

"What's wrong with you?"

"I... I'm actually fine..."

After hearing Li Ang's inquiry, the Princess bit her lower lip, then smiled with red eyes:

"It's just a little regret."

"Regret?"

"Yeah, regret."

Reaching out to support the edge of the broken windowsill, the Princess faced the cold wind blowing in and said in a low voice somewhat lonely:

"Regret that the only family member I care about has actually never recognized my feelings from beginning to end. If he wants me to agree to something, he still refuses to open his mouth to discuss it until now, but instead wants to play tricks in front of me."

"?"

"You don't really think that my father said that sentence because he couldn't see the situation clearly, right?"

After looking at Li Ang who was confused, Princess Veronika sighed lightly and said:

"Although he has been in a coma and doesn't know that you have already brought people to control the Wang Gong, after he woke up, he found that the people waiting by his side were you and me, not the Queen and Watching Watching Qiaoshuya. He should have guessed part of the situation."

"And he also understands my personality. Seeing that I wasn't busy dealing with the aftermath of the coup, but was waiting here for him to wake up, he understood that we had already completely controlled the situation, and Watching Watching Qiaoshuya would never have a chance to succeed to the throne again."

The old Emperor knows?

After hearing the Princess's words, Li Ang couldn't help but be slightly startled, then subconsciously frowned.

Since the old Emperor had already guessed the situation, why did he say that after Watching Watching Qiaoshuya succeeded to the throne, he should treat the Princess well... wait!

"It seems you have figured it out too."

Looking at Li Ang who was a little dazed, Veronika smiled, then with red eyes, said self-deprecatingly: "This is the way royal families show family affection. He worried that after I succeeded to the throne, I would kill Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, so he took advantage of the fact that he could still 'control the situation,' pretended not to see it, and specially said such a sentence.

Although it was just spoken verbally, since Watching Watching Qiaoshuya could treat me, his sister, well after succeeding to the throne, then naturally I should also leave some room for affection after succeeding to the throne. After all, I can't be worse than Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, right?"

"..."

So... the old Emperor was playing tricks, knowing that Watching Watching Qiaoshuya had already lost, so he deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid, using words to set up Veronika, hoping to save his son's life?

After understanding the old Emperor's plan, Li Ang finally understood why the Princess would feel sad, but he didn't know what to comfort, so he had to stand by the window with her for a while.

A moment later, a cold hand reached out, grabbed Li Ang's hand, and shook it gently as if begging.

"Li Ang..."

Looking at Li Ang who looked over, the Princess with red eyes requested in a low voice:

"I'm not lying to you, I feel a little uncomfortable now. Can you let me lean on you?"

"Okay..."

"Thank you."

After leaning on Li Ang's shoulder, facing the cold wind constantly blowing outside the window, the Princess said lonely:

"Actually, I don't feel disappointed that my father played tricks on me. After all, I've long been used to these. What really makes me sad is that even at this time, he refuses to open his mouth to beg me."

"Beg you?"

"Yeah, like a real family member, willfully begging me once."

After shrinking into Li Ang's arms, the Princess pursed her lips and said in a low voice:

"It's not that I want him to beg me humbly to make me feel happy, but people like my father will make the best use of everything that can be used.

If he thinks begging me is useful, he will open his mouth without hesitation. The only reason he didn't do so is that he feels this father-daughter affection has no value and is not a good 'card'."

"Not necessarily..."

Looking at the Princess's increasingly red eyes, Li Ang couldn't help but comfort:

"Your father... maybe he just doesn't know how you look at him, thinking that you don't value him as a father that much, so he is unwilling to open his mouth to beg you."

"No."

The Princess shook her head and said:

"Although my father doesn't know how I look at him, he must understand how he looks at me as a daughter. And in such a short time, he can only use his feelings for me to subconsciously measure my feelings for him.

Since he made this decision in the end, it proves that in his heart, the father-daughter affection between me and him is indeed valueless. Instead of playing the emotional card to beg me, it is safer to play a small trick and use words to trap me.

For me, he is the only family member I can care about, but for him, I am just a stranger. Willful things like playing the emotional card are privileges that only family members have, and between him and me, there are only interests and gains and losses."

"..."

"Sorry, I told you so much..."

After sighing low, the Princess looked down from the broken window, watching Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, who was holding the awakened Queen and crying outside the garden, and sighed lonely:

"Actually, I am really jealous of Watching Watching Qiaoshuya.

He is reckless, irritable, arrogant, childish, likes to squander... he has many, many bad habits, but my father really likes this son of his. He also has a mother who loves him very much, and an uncle who can forgive him no matter what mistakes he makes.

I do better than him in everything, can handle everything in an orderly manner, and countless people are willing to praise me, but since my mother passed away, no one has been able to favor me so unreasonably."

"..."

"Li Ang..."

After gently pulling Li Ang's lapel, the Princess leaning in Li Ang's arms raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and said softly:

"Are you willing to be that person for me?"
