Kolan Kesi Planet.
Zhou Xiuran, who had rushed over, stuck to the hospital room window, gazing at the refined man lying on the hospital bed, his eyes brimming with shimmering tears.
“My little cub, you’ve grown so big!”
The child who used to cling to his leg for candy had grown into a man, and in another four years, he would graduate from military academy and become a qualified mech pilot.
“!!!” Shen Tan, the burly man guarding the door, watched the undignified man with black lines all over his face, desperately not wanting to admit that this was his master.
He was done for. The Second Prince was even more shameless than him!
Zhou Xiuran, peeking at his son through the door, emotionally wiped the corners of his eyes, tearfully gazing at his son whom he could only sneak a peek at.
“……” Sob sob sob o(╥﹏╥)o
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to raise his son on the Capital Star; what father wouldn’t want his son by his side? But after his son lost his mother, his temperament changed drastically.
He became taciturn and always forgot things.
He had clearly just seen his son yesterday and told him that he was his father, but today his son had forgotten, blankly hugging his wrist and gnawing on it.
He could only follow the doctor’s advice and move his little cub to another planet, change the environment. It took a lot of effort to get his son successfully settled down.
But his son still couldn’t remember old acquaintances.
Not only him, but even his wife, the child had completely forgotten them all.
Thinking of his beautiful and flowery but short-lived Imperial Consort, Zhou Xiuran’s heart ached, and he wanted to stab both the eldest prince and the third princess to death.
Damn it! Those damned bastards!
Those two cursed beasts actually plotted to harm his young cub in order to fight for the throne, causing the only SS-level expert in the Hua’an Empire to disappear.
Although he had never thought about becoming emperor, he had given birth to a son with the bearing of an emperor, which ultimately led to the eldest prince and the third princess joining forces against him.
Even though he hadn’t found any evidence yet, the assassination thirteen years ago must have been a joint effort by his good brother and good third sister.
No one else had any reason to assassinate his wife and child.
Because of this, he had been tirelessly causing trouble for those two beastly siblings all these years.
He was happy when he saw them unhappy.
This was also why the eldest prince was still pining for the third princess’s husband and refused to marry and have children. Otherwise, he would have killed the eldest prince’s cubs too. As for Xia Xuyan, the only son of the third princess, he had failed to assassinate him for thirteen years straight.
Alas, he, as the second uncle, was useless!
Xia Xuyan did have some skills, but he would kill that kid one day.
If he didn’t let the third princess taste the pain of losing a son, he wouldn’t be the petty and vengeful Zhou Xiuran!
Don’t tell him about parents’ debts not extending to children.
When Zhou Yiran and Zhou Moran, the eldest prince and third princess, attacked his seven-year-old son thirteen years ago, why didn’t they think about not extending the debt to the child?!
He was simply retaliating in kind, an eye for an eye.
“……” Shen Tan, standing guard at the door, averted his gaze, not wanting to look at the chameleon-like master next to him whose face kept changing.
His master was usually quite normal, but that was only if the matter didn’t involve the Little Highness. Otherwise, his master would turn hostile in an instant.
Alas, if the Second Imperial Consort hadn’t died and the Little Highness was still the same as before, that would be great.
Unfortunately, things were unpredictable, and fate was fickle!
Zhou Xiuran reluctantly left the ward and found a quiet corner to inquire about the situation.
“Tell me, why did my son suddenly fall into a coma?”
He had placed his own people all around his son’s residence and arranged for nannies and robots to take care of his son, but his son still had an accident!
Shen Tan said sternly: “This subordinate has investigated. There was a traitor among the ‘neighbors’. They were bought by your brother and sister to poison the Little Highness.”
“The poison is called ‘Drunken Life, Dream Death’. Taking it will cause death in a dream, never to wake up again.”
Damn it! The name sounds quite elegant! If it weren’t a poison to kill the Little Highness, he would guarantee to offer the poison to the Second Prince to let the Second Prince mess with the Eldest Prince and Third Princess.
Zhou Xiuran’s expression darkened, “I knew it was those two beasts, the eldest prince and the third princess!”
“Deal with all the traitors, leave none alive.”
Shen Tan nodded heavily, “Master, rest assured, those traitors who eat inside and out won’t survive.”
The Little Highness was the cub they had watched grow up.
Whoever dared to touch the Little Highness was stabbing a knife into the wound in their hearts and sprinkling salt on it!
Zhou Xiuran glanced at Shen Tan, “If my son has another accident before entering school…”
“Shen Tan, you can go down and accompany them!”
“Yes!” Shen Tan was calm upon hearing this. After all, he was specifically responsible for protecting the Little Highness, and the guards on Kolan Kesi Planet were all under his command.
Now that there were traitors among these people, it was already good enough that he wasn’t killed by the Second Prince. Naturally, he wouldn’t let anyone else touch a hair on the Little Highness.
Zhou Xiuran looked towards the ward at the end of the long corridor, his narrow eyes filled with heartache.
“Cub, I will arrange new guards for you and accompany you to school every day from now on.”
At this moment, he began to search through his subordinates’ children, preparing to pick the most capable one to send to Yoser Military Academy to specifically protect his cub.
No rush, he’ll pick someone after returning to Capital Star.
Now, he was more concerned about whether the toxins in his little cub’s body would be harmful.
“Shen Tan, can the poison my son ingested be detoxified?”
Shen Tan replied with a strange expression: “The Little Highness was indeed poisoned, but it seemed to only put the Little Highness to sleep and did not harm the Little Highness.”
“This is the conclusion reached jointly by the doctors.”
Zhou Xiuran rubbed his finger pads, “I’ll send a few more authoritative doctors over later. I want to be sure that my son will be safe and sound!”
Shen Tan nodded in agreement and asked, “The Little Highness is now an adult. Why doesn’t Master take this opportunity to acknowledge the Little Highness as his son?”
Master and the Little Highness weren’t outsiders, why always meet secretly and privately? It made the Little Highness seem like he was too shameful to be seen!
Zhou Xiuran pinched his finger bones, “You think I don’t want to? It’s that child who doesn’t want to acknowledge me.”
“…I was too late back then.”
Back then, his wife and child were ambushed, and he also encountered an accident and was ambushed on the road, failing to arrive in time to save his wife and child.
Ultimately, this led to his wife’s death and his son becoming foolish.
After the child was rescued back to Capital Star, he had seen him many times, but he could never remember his identity, and he was even particularly wary of his goodwill.
If it weren’t for that, how could he not acknowledge his son?
Was this the problem he didn’t want to face? Clearly, his son regarded him as a bad guy!
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiuran felt uncomfortable again.
When would he and his little cub truly recognize each other? Even if they couldn’t recognize each other, at least talk to him, don’t let father and son not recognize each other!
Shen Tan sighed silently at the sight.
If the Eldest Prince and Third Princess hadn’t joined forces to assassinate the Second Prince’s family thirteen years ago, the master and the Little Highness wouldn’t have had difficulty recognizing each other as father and son.
He really wanted to blow up the Eldest Prince and Third Princess!
