My idol became a prince

Chapter 26 Loneliness Under the Crown

The relationship between Wen Luan and Yu Shensi is not good.Wen Jie remembered that before he officially became the crown prince of the empire, Wen Luan and he had told him to be careful about Yu Shensi.At this time, after Yu Shensi came to the banquet hall, he only glanced at the prince's son on the opposite side, and then turned around and said to Wen Jie as if this person did not exist at the scene: "His Royal Highness, the time is not up." You should go to the back and prepare now."

For Yu Shensi, who strictly controls his words, deeds, and expressions, and is even described by many people as "extremely good at disguising" in private, such obvious dislike is really very rare.When he was speaking, there was silence all around, and the hilarious atmosphere just now seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

Wen Jie, who knew the entire banquet process, understood that there was no so-called backstage preparations this time.The reason why Yu Shensi said that was because he wanted to get out of here quickly.So Wen Jiebian nodded to him very cooperatively, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he followed Yu Shensi to a lounge outside the banquet hall.

Wen Jie originally thought that Yu Shensi really just wanted to help him get away from the group of people just now, but after arriving in the lounge, Wen Jie realized that Yu Shensi's expression was still serious.He turned on the light screen in the room, and then said to Wen Jia: "X[-]SAA's preliminary investigation results have come out."

……

At the same time that the disaster ended, the empire's investigation team had already gone to this planet, and then launched an investigation together with the geologists still in X[-]SAA.Although Wen Jie knew that in such a comprehensive investigation, the truth would come out sooner or later, but he never thought that the preliminary investigation results would come out in such a short period of time.

If this incident was not a simple accident, it meant that the manipulator behind it was indeed extremely confident, or it would be more appropriate to say that he was conceited.

After Yu Shensi turned on the light screen, he quickly entered a few commands, and a dark photo appeared on the screen immediately.When Wen Zhi saw it for the first time, he was still a little unclear about what it was, but after he observed it carefully, he realized that what was shown in this photo should be a picture of a certain place underground.

The photos were just the beginning, and in the following time, Yu Shensi opened a video.This video was shot by a specialized engineering robot. The moving distance of the whole picture is very long and the speed is very fast, but the camera does not shake at all.Through the rotation of the robot and the lighting in front of the robot, Wen Jie discovered that the photo Yu Shensi showed him just now was actually just the tip of the iceberg...not even the tip of the iceberg.

This is a huge underground cavity.

And it's a new, man-made subterranean cavity.

The camera hanging in front of the robot lingers long in front of a scratch in the huge underground cavern.Anyone with a little common sense can recognize the scratches captured by the current lens... It is a trace left by the work of a huge new shield machine.

After the stop, the camera slowly rotated towards the bottom.

The strong light pierced into the abyss, and the end of this beam of light could not be seen from the screen, it seemed to be swallowed by a silent giant hidden in the darkness.Perhaps it has to be admitted that, without the knowledge of Yiduxing, the planet X[-]SAA has already been hollowed out from the inside—in various senses.

This video has been edited and fast forwarded to a certain extent, so it will be played within a few minutes.When the light screen slowly went out, the lounge was once again plunged into desperate darkness.

After a while of silence, Yu Shensi said to Wen Jie: "This is the current state of the X[-]SAA underground." The light screen lit up again, and Yu Shensi added: "At the same time, we have also collected some rare ore remains on the inner wall of this underground cave. This sentence has almost told Wen Jia, why the tragedy of X[-]SAA happened.

"...The law of the Sajue Empire stipulates that the administrative power of a star can be sealed, but the mining rights and military rights of the planet are indeed owned by the empire forever." Wen Jie took a deep breath. explain.

In fact, most of the rare ores in the interstellar world cannot be called "rare" based on the storage capacity alone, but because those ores have a huge impact on the circle structure of the planet where they are located, mining has been strictly controlled, and the price has been rising all the way. up.

Generally speaking, such a huge underground cavity has definitely destroyed the entire circle of this ore inside the planet X[-]SAA.Such unscrupulous drilling behavior will not only greatly affect the natural and geographical conditions outside the planet.Although it can bring innumerable wealth, but so far no long-sighted ruler has made such a choice.It is probably the first time in history that such a very cruel and reckless way of developing a living planet.

Having said that, as long as this kind of mining occurs, the natural disasters caused by it will not take long for the residents living above to find abnormalities.

After a while of silence, Wen Zhi's voice broke the silence of the room again: "According to my guess, the large-scale circulation of ore in the market will definitely be suspected by the governments of various countries, and then trace the origin of the mine. If they are in these If the ore is destroyed before the large-scale circulation of the ore, firstly, no one can find the source of these ore, and secondly, because of the large number of deaths, in order to avoid serious epidemics or other viruses, investigators will not easily go to the mine. From here..."

After the preliminary results came out, the House of Representatives began to investigate the flow of mineral deposits, and Yu Shensi naturally became busy, so after leaving the words "Be safe and don't be impatient", Yu Shensi left the banquet hall through the side door, and then rushed to the House of Representatives building.

And in the end, Wen Jia didn't know how he got out of that room.

When he returned to the magnificent banquet hall again, after seeing the nobles dressed in fine clothes, holding fine wines and the so-called "imperial upper class" in the hall, Wen Jie suddenly felt that this scene was really unreal.

On one side is a life so extravagant that ordinary people can't imagine, while on the other side, the lives of hundreds of millions of people will be destroyed in an instant because of high-value mineral deposits.How strange, how weird, how ironic, but this really happened in Sa Jue - Wen Jie's country.

"Your Highness" just as Wen Jie was alone in a daze in the corner of the banquet hall, Wen Po, who was wearing a red dress that dragged the floor, came out from nowhere and stood beside Wen Jie.She felt the low air pressure in Wenzhi, which was different from usual, so she asked abnormally: "Did anything unpleasant happen?"

To be honest, the relationship between Wen Gu and this princess was not good, and they never even had a pleasant conversation.But perhaps because of his emotions, Wen Jie still couldn't help asking at this moment: "Your Highness, what do you think the lives of ordinary people mean to an empire?"

In Wen Pu's impression, this was the first time His Royal Highness asked himself such a serious topic, so involuntarily, Wen Pu gently put the wine glass in his hand on the small table beside him, and then spoke very seriously. Said: "That is the foundation of the empire. As members of the royal family, we need to swear to the death to defend the lives and rights of every Sajue citizen." This is indeed the concept that Her Royal Highness has always upheld, so her answer did not hesitate for a moment.

Although it is still the usual second grade...but this time, Wen Jie unexpectedly liked what Wen Pu said.

"You're right, Your Royal Highness," he replied very politely, and after finishing speaking, he picked up a new, untouched glass of wine from one side, and raised his glass to Wen Pu.Two wine glasses filled with fine silver wine touched lightly in the air, and then Wen Jie smiled at Wen Po and drank the wine in one gulp.

...Drinking all the wine is not in line with royal etiquette, but before Wen Pu could say this, Wen Jie put down the wine glass in his hand and walked towards the center of the hall alone.

When the prince walked away, Wen Pu was still there in a daze. For some reason, she always felt that there was something wrong with the scene just now... and after a while, the woman slightly lifted the hem of the skirt that dragged the floor, and then turned around. Looking at the back of the boy who was gradually going away, from her perspective, against the backdrop of the lively banquet scene, the back suddenly gave off a sense of loneliness.

When Wen Jie stood in the middle of the banquet hall after the scheduled time, the low pressure on his body still did not dissipate.At this moment, everyone in the audience was watching him, waiting together for his speech.A light shone on Wen Jie's dress, and the black dress, which looked very ordinary, was slightly burgundy under the light.Compared with Sa Jue's traditional dress, the style of this dress is a bit less serious and rigid, a bit more casual and... sexy, and Wen Jia's slightly long silver hair and gemstones on the earlobe very proportionate.

But now few people have the mind to pay attention to Wen Zhi's appearance. They are sensitive and have already found that Wen Zhi's current state is incompatible with the joyous atmosphere of this celebration banquet.Not only can it be said that his mood is not very high, but even a little low.He is obviously just a young man who has not been in politics for a long time, but these people just read a feeling called "not easy to provoke" from Wen Jie's performance at the moment.It must be admitted—they are a little afraid of Wengai now, although they don't know why.

A small levitator is flying around Wenzhi. Although the banquet scene will not be announced to the public, the speech recorded through it will be broadcast live on the star network in a while, and it will also appear on the Imperial Palace the next morning. On the most important morning news.

Speaking of which, this was Wen Jie’s first public speech after he became the crown prince of the Sajue Empire, and because people have always been extremely curious about the Sajue royal family and Wen Jie’s strong influence, at this time there were already many people in the audience. The live channel is guarded.

After crossing the circle of people surrounding the speaking area, one could see a man in a prince's dress sitting alone on the sofa in a corner of the banquet hall.While tasting the fine silver wine in the wine glass, he squinted his eyes at the young man in the middle of the banquet hall.
