When leaving, Minte heard Jedda asking the soldiers to bring all their belongings so that he could use them in the palace. His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly said: "No need, I don't have to worry about food and clothing in the palace. It's okay." It’s necessary to bring so much luggage, and besides, a lot of it belongs to the landlord.”
Jada smiled: "I just want to make it easier for you to do things so that you don't have to run around just for something."
Minte paused and said with a smile: "There's no need for them to help me move it. Have you forgotten? I have a storage ring."
"That's right, okay then." Jada quickly took back the order, then mounted the horse and set off.
Minte packed up two things and stuffed them into the ring, then rode back with him. On the way, he saw that he had not spoken a word. She felt uneasy for some reason, so she smiled and asked him: "By the way, why are you running away so early in the morning?" My house is here? I remember it’s not time for the palace gate to open yet, right? You went back to the castle last night?”
"Oh, I had something to do and left the palace last night, and I haven't had time to go back yet." Jada said, "You must not have thought of it, right? The Wisha dancer we met in Mengli before, named Namu, didn't follow her later? Lawler? It turns out that she is a Wissar secret agent who came specifically to inquire about our country’s intelligence. She was arrested in Mislai yesterday. The soldiers found an important piece of information on her, which she stole from Lawler. I think Lawler There may be many valuable documents there, so hurry over and take a look."
Minte's heart tightened: "Really? Namu is actually a spy? I didn't expect...she doesn't look like that kind of person." How could Namu be caught
"I didn't expect it. I thought she was just a plaything." Jada snorted coldly. "Lawler was also fascinated by her for some reason. He regarded her as a treasure. He didn't watch out for her in anything and let her be there. Performing at the Queen Mother's birthday party! He really lost his mind! But luckily he lost his head. The explosion at Prince Mario's Mansion destroyed all the evidence, and many nobles with evil intentions could not be convicted. To think that Lawler actually had a backup of everything. Now those guys can’t even think of escaping!”
"Then...how is that Namu doing now? Did she reveal any information?"
Jada calmed down a little: "He is still on the way, and he will probably be escorted back to Nomonka tomorrow. I will definitely ask him clearly! Huh, those people guarding the city gate are useless! She actually let people escape to Mislai without even realizing it. If we hadn't caught her accomplice in advance and asked him about the lurking location of another accomplice. When we went to arrest the person, we happened to meet Namu and that accomplice. If we had gathered together, she would have fled back to the country a long time ago! When this matter is over, I will definitely replace all the people guarding the city gate!"
Mislai is located more than 100 kilometers south of Sanlianguan. Escaping here means that Namu has almost escaped from the Noga border. If the captured companions had not confessed another person, she would not have been caught. . Half of the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were originally Prince Mario's men, Jada said. Probably also taking the opportunity to liquidate.
Minte bit his lip. Asked in a low voice: "I said...since he is a secret Wishay spy, would it be bad to arrest him and torture him like this?"
Jada frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I mean. Aren't you Nuojia and Weisha a country of brothers? They sent secret spies. If you accidentally get killed..."
"They have all sent secret spies here. Do you still dare to say that you are a country of brothers?!" Jada interrupted him. "There are precedents for this kind of thing in other countries. You don't have to worry. Even if we beat people to death and maim them, Weisha will not say a word! Humph. Since you have become a spy, you must be abandoned by your master at any time. consciousness!"
Minte listened. Feeling a little uncomfortable. I felt unhappy under the pressure. Smiling: "Of course I know they won't admit it publicly. I just think that the two of you haven't broken up yet. If you really kill their people, even if they don't say anything on the surface, I'm afraid they will be very unhappy in their hearts. Bar?"
Jada fell silent. No more words were spoken along the way. Minte followed him uneasily and rode into the palace gate. Dismount and walk through the front palace. Only then did I see him turn around. Said: "You make sense. Anyway, I just want to get the things from Prince Mario and Lawler. As long as she cooperates obediently. After the matter is over, I will let her go."
Minte felt relieved when he heard this and smiled: "This is your internal affairs. You can make up your own mind." Jada nodded.
However. Just when Mint thought Namu would survive safely, things changed.
the next day. Namu was escorted to the palace prison, and on the third day, news came that Jada had ordered her execution. Minte was frightened when he heard this. When he saw Jada walking toward him angrily, he went up to him and chatted about trivial matters, then carefully inquired about the reason for his anger.
Jada said bitterly: "That woman refused to speak! She refused to say anything except where Lawler placed the secret documents!"
Min Te hurriedly said: "Aren't these the documents you want? Since she said so, why are you still so angry?"
Jada fell silent, and after a while, she said: "It's different now. She not only took away those documents, drawings and information, but more importantly, she was related to the death of the Queen Mother."
Minte's breath tightened: "You mean..."
"Do you remember the gold and gem-encrusted poison flagon? You once said that the switch on it showed signs of being damaged, right? That was what she did! Her accomplice named Unad confessed that she destroyed The wine pot, which was originally intended only for His Majesty, flowed into the Queen Mother's wine glass! And I also asked the attendant in the banquet hall that she had indeed touched the wine pot at that time, so she was indirectly killed. Queen Mother!"
Minte secretly cursed that Unad in his heart. He not only betrayed his companions, but also told everything that the enemy had not discovered. Doesn't this mean he indirectly killed his companions? ! Then he heard Jada say: "I suspect that the deaths of Mario and Lawler have something to do with her." He was shocked: "Isn't this... right? After Lawler was imprisoned, didn't he hear that Has she escaped?"
Jada frowned: "But Mario and Lawler really died inexplicably. I don't believe they really committed suicide." Seeing Minte's surprised look, he smiled bitterly: "You probably don't know, right? After Prince Mario was put under house arrest, although I only sent two or three attendants there, there were dozens of soldiers guarding the house, and they surrounded the house tightly. But that night, more than half of these soldiers actually attacked I got up and fell asleep, and no one discovered it until the house burned down. But none of the attendants who were originally guarding the corridor made a sound. They were burned to death in the house. I have seen the remains of Prince Mario, and it seems like He was burned to death while lying on his bed very calmly, without any movement of struggle. How is this possible?!"
Minte was very surprised, is that so? This was the first time he heard of it.
Jada continued: "There is also Lawler's side. When he first entered, there was a commotion for a while. Later, his wife asked someone to bring him a letter, saying that she had thought of a way to save him, and he calmed down. I After learning about this incident, he replaced the original guard and ordered him to be prohibited from communicating with the outside world. It was impossible for him to know about his father's arrest, so how could he commit suicide just because he saw a fire in the palace?! He was so disrespectful He has a personality that admits defeat, and even if he is imprisoned, his ambition to ascend to the throne will not be reduced by an inch!"
The more Minte thought about it, the more he felt that what he said made sense: "So...who could be behind this?"
"I don't know." Jada sighed and smiled bitterly. "I'm not afraid of your jokes. In fact, uncle... No, although His Majesty has forgiven me, he probably doesn't completely trust me in his heart. It's just that I successfully hinted to him that there is no better heir to the throne than me. Although he is serious Emotional, but also a rational person. He loves this country and will not choose a crown prince who is not good for the country because of his own ideas. He asked me to shoulder the heavy responsibility, but there will always be a thorn in my heart. I must find a way to find the true The murderer of the crime, clear his suspicion. I want him to trust me completely as before."
Minte didn't know what else to say. He had no choice but to say sorry to Namu in his heart, but when he thought about the identity certificate he sent out, he still kept a cautious eye on it: "You said Namu is unwilling to speak now, what are you going to do?"
Jada raised her lips and said, "Does she think that if she doesn't speak, I can't do anything to her? Well, now that the death of the Queen Mother is at stake, I don't have to worry about Weisha's thoughts. Her accomplices are smarter than her. Much more, even if the other one is arrogant, I can still come up with words. Moreover, the reason why she was able to successfully escape to Mislai is the identity certificate. It is true! I have found out that it was issued by the Eastern Region. Something, I sent someone out early this morning to find out who made the certificate, maybe... we can dig out a lot of spies."
After Jada left, Mint's heart was still heavy. He can't stay any longer and must find a way to leave! Although I don’t know where that certificate came from. But Jada's people will continue to investigate. Maybe the fat "uncle" will be traced. Will he be able to run away then
He immediately started thinking of excuses. Within two days, I came across an opportunity.
After the palace physician and Minter examined Gale II together, they finally announced that he had recovered his health. Next, all he had to do was take good care of himself.
Gale II smiled bitterly and said: "But why do I always feel that I have no energy and my energy is not good? I can't find the energy to do anything."
Min Te hurriedly said: "This is because you always stay in the room and are exhausted. After all, you have been sick for so many years and your muscles are weak. You will still do more outdoor activities in the future and walk in the corridor at least twice a day." Back and forth. It won't be long before you have the strength."
Gale II smiled and shook his head: "I'm old and can't move, so I might as well drink more of that physical strength potion you prepared. Once I drink that, I will have strength."
Min Te's heart moved and he said: "Although that medicine is very effective, drinking too much will not be good for the body. I think you seem to be dependent on the magic medicine. This is not possible. You must rely on yourself to take care of your body and physical strength." The magic potion can only be effective for a short period of time, you cannot rely on it for a lifetime."
Gale II smiled and said nothing. Minte caught a glimpse of the palace physician who was telling the steward and Mrs. Cole what nutritious food to prepare and what to pay attention to in daily life, some distance away from them. However, Jada was still handling government affairs in the front palace and was not present. , then took a step forward and said to Gale II: "I think as long as I am here, if you feel any discomfort, you will immediately want to find me. Not only are you dependent on my medicine, but you are also like this to me, right? This In fact, it is not good for your recovery. It just so happens that I have been here for two months and have been staying in the palace. It is very boring. And I have almost used up the potion ingredients and want to buy some more. Why don't you Give me a few days off and let me go to Xike to buy some materials and come back?"
Gale II laughed when he heard this: "No way? Didn't you buy a lot of medicinal materials last time? They've all been used up?!"
"Look, you actually don't know much about potions. This thing doesn't require so many ingredients to cook so many potions. Sometimes a whole cart of ingredients is just to brew a small bottle of potion. To be honest, there are still a lot of general materials left, but several important ones are about to be used up. Although you have recovered your health now, it is better to prepare a few potions as a precaution, just in case anything happens. It’s an accident, so I won’t be caught off guard, don’t you think?”
Gale II shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Okay, but you have to come back as soon as possible. I may really be dependent on you."
Min Te was overjoyed, but there was only a faint smile on his face.
When he returned to the room, he immediately packed his luggage and planned to leave tomorrow. Now that Gale II has spoken, Jada probably won’t stop him. Thinking that he would be able to see his family and companions soon, he felt indescribably excited.
But soon he had to calm down, because Jada ran over angrily, obviously having got the news: "Why are you leaving suddenly?! Even if it is to buy materials, can't you discuss it with me in advance?! I thought we were friends!”
Min Te smiled quickly and said: "I'm just leaving for a few days. His Majesty said he will be back in seven or eight days at most. I also had a sudden idea. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I apologize to you."
This apology was sincere. He knew that he was destined to let down the friendship of the other party.
Hearing this, Jada softened her tone slightly: "Why did you suddenly have this idea? I'll ask someone to buy the materials you want, just like last time."
Minte smiled: "Actually, it's because I found that His Majesty relies too much on my potions and doesn't exercise his body, which is not good for his health. I want to leave for a few days to let His Majesty get used to me. If I'm not here, if I'm still in Nomonka, he will want to call me whenever something happens. As for the potion materials..." He put on an apologetic expression, "Last time it was because I just came here, I'm sorry. "Actually, the types of materials are correct, but the quality is too mediocre. Maybe those material stores bully the people who buy them because they are amateurs, right? If I go there, I can buy better things." Jie Da frowned for a long time. Then he said: "Do we have to go to Xi'an? It's probably a mess there now. You'd better not go there."
Minte was shocked when he heard this: "What's wrong with Xiko?"
"You don't know yet, right? Fan'a has sealed the country."
