Not long after the guards took Gandinan into the small garden, Alex walked into the hall. Ming Na hurriedly greeted her: "You're back? How was the chat?"
Alex didn't answer. He just waved his wand to create a soundproof cover and covered both of them. Then he stared at her and said slowly: "Although I have known for a long time that you are not smart, I never thought that you would be Such a... idiot!"
Ming Na was confused: "Why did you call me stupid?"
"Isn't it? That is a prince, a crown prince, and the guard captain next to him is naturally a close confidant. If you get angry at someone, aren't you afraid that you will get into trouble? Although you have a superior status in the Security Agency, you are also the daughter of the lord here. , but for the future king, this is nothing. If he is a narrow-minded guy, or has a sinister personality, you will be in danger, understand
Ming Na said unconvinced: "But they are slandering you! Do you want me to say nothing? You have done so many things for them, and it's fine if they don't know, but they shouldn't treat you as a prisoner!" She flatly said Mouth, feeling a little aggrieved: "I'm just angry for you, and you still scold me..."
Alex looked at her and softened his tone: "I'm worried that you will get into trouble. They just say a few words to me anyway, and they can't really do anything to me. I'm not friends with them, so why should I care about them? if?"
"But I care!" Ming Na glared at him, "You also know that the eldest prince is the crown prince. If he really misunderstands you and does harm to you in the future, wouldn't you be wronged? You have obviously helped them... And that Herbie is too much. What does he think you are? You are a noble after all. Even if you don’t consider your background, you are still a mid-level magician! Anyway, I just can’t stand him in my house. Treat you so roughly!"
Alex suddenly smiled and gently held Ming Na's hand, holding it tighter and tighter, his eyes sparkling: "Thank you for protecting me, Ming Na, I will not forget it."
Mingna didn't know why, but she always felt that her hands were burning. She quickly pulled her hand away and glanced at the flowers in the vase on the fireplace with some embarrassment: "No...you're welcome. We are good friends and good partners. Of course I You have to protect your friends."
Alex's eyes twitched, he took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "You're right." He took back his hand. His eyes turned to the painting hanging on the wall on the other side.
The hall fell silent. Ming Na felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. She rolled her eyes around and suddenly remembered a topic: "By the way, you haven't answered me yet. How was your conversation with His Highness the Prince?"
"It's okay. Just like when I was in Ito. Any aristocratic tea party I attended was just as empty and boring." Alex spit out venom expressionlessly. "Maybe His Highness the Prince is used to talking in this style. He doesn't know how to face others with another attitude.
Ming Na hesitated: "Really? But I think he's a pretty good person. He's just a little too soft..."
"Yeah. Too soft. Too emotional!" Alex continued to complain. "Actually, he's not a fool. He's smarter than the rumors say. He should be able to be the king in the future. It's a pity that he doesn't know how to express himself in front of others. His personality is not as lovable as his younger brother. When he encounters something unhappy, he just He will keep silent in his heart and say nothing. Or he will simply give up on himself! He has not fully understood his responsibilities yet!"
Ming Na said carefully: "Alex. In fact, he is not that bad..."
"How come there isn't?!" Alex's eyes widened. "I want to make friends with people. But I refuse to confess. I want the people I love to stay with me. I also pretend to be considerate and nice. His troublesome personality. Isn't that bad enough?! Fortunately. He finally has some sense. I know when enough is enough. I won't delay business because of my personal feelings."
Minna heard what he said. I couldn't help but think of another king with a similar personality: "Maybe everyone who is qualified to be a king has this kind of trouble, right? I remember Noga Digel II. He is also this kind of... emotional and soft-hearted person. But When encountering national events, no matter how reluctant he is, he will force himself to make the right choice. At first, he suspected that Duke Jedda had killed Prince Mario and his son. He refused to forgive him. But when he thought that only Duke Jedda could be considered a As a qualified heir to the throne, he had to continue to favor Jada. Although it was later confirmed that it was a conspiracy from the Demon Realm. But he was actually very painful at the time, right? Also, Jada was suspected by his uncle. He felt uncomfortable. At that time, he..."
She didn't say it. Thinking about how much the two uncles and nephews trusted each other when she first arrived in Noga, but later, Gale II wanted to bury his suspicions about Jieda in his heart, and Jieda also wanted to protect herself from Gale. The second generation is scheming, and both uncle and nephew are maintaining the illusion of closeness and friendship. She was nearby and could see clearly, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
"Mingna." Alex interrupted her meditation, "I have said many times, these things have passed, don't always think about it. You must know that you have a new life now, the uncle and nephew It has nothing to do with your world."
Ming Na smiled sheepishly: "Okay, I won't mention it again. Anyway, I won't see them again in the future."
Alex didn't want to answer this sentence. Although the little girl in front of him had matured a lot compared to three years ago (in every aspect), she was obviously not smart enough to understand the hidden meaning of his words. "Would you like to come to your room?" he asked, "to continue discussing our lovely ancient potion recipes?"
Minna almost laughed out loud: "Okay, let's go see the lovely Fasilati." She was very happy, and the atmosphere seemed to be back to normal again.
Alex paused: "Mingna, don't talk about the great potion master in ancient times like... your child." "You are so unlovable!" "Take two steps towards the studio, she suddenly remembered another thing: "By the way, His Highness has been sitting in the small garden for a long time, is it okay? His body is not strong, and the wind is still a bit cold now. "
"We have gone to the glass greenhouse a long time ago. There is plenty of sunshine there. There is no wind. The old palace doctor came here just now and told our eldest prince to eat less cake and more meat. The look in Winnie's eyes Not to mention how terrible it was, fortunately His Highness coaxed her a few words, and she became happy. We should pray for the poor old doctor, and may the God of Light bless Winnie to forget this matter, so that he can eat normally tonight meals.”
"Oh..." Mingna and Alex looked at each other, and they couldn't help but sweat what happened to the old man tonight. As her weight gradually moved toward three hundred pounds, Winnie became more and more intimidating in this family, including Anlong and Dora. I never dare to say a bad word about the food she cooks.
Kick, kick, kick... hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Winnie's huge body squeezed in, and their eyes lit up when they saw Ming Na: "Great, little miss! You are here! There are still blueberry cakes made today. Do you want a plate? Master Alex ?" She stared directly at the two young people.
Ming Na blinked and happily took the tray in her hand: "It's so good, Winnie, I'm just about to eat it. Alex thinks so too, right?" She secretly winked at her friend.
"Of course." Alex cooperated tacitly. "I only ate two pieces just now, which is really too little. My dear Winnie, your cooking is really delicious."
Winnie was so happy that she covered her mouth and kept laughing: "Look what you said, Master Alex. After all, I am also a professional nanny." She emphasized the word "professional". "Cooking is a skill that a good nanny must master. Although I know that I am already very good. But I will not be proud. I will continue to work hard and improve myself." She gently lifted up her skirt with her fat hands. Li: "Please allow me to leave first. There is still work in the kitchen."
"Please." Alex nodded in a very aristocratic manner.
Winnie stepped back gracefully and steadily, but as soon as she saw Ming Na's slightly open mouth expression, her face changed: "Little miss! A lady never shows such an expression! How can you be rude in front of Master Alex?!"
Ming Na shut her mouth and waited for Winnie's figure to disappear. She became jealous: "She likes you, Alex. Every time she is in front of you, she seems to be extra... etiquette. This is really unfair! I am her Children who have been brought up since childhood!”
Alex brushed his hair: "Mingna, you have to understand that ladies will always try their best to show their charming side in front of charming gentlemen." He showed a bright smile, which was originally a little cold and arrogant. His facial features suddenly became much brighter and more handsome.
Ming Na shuddered, glanced at her friend strangely, and cleared her throat: "Okay, let's go back to the main topic."
Alex sighed helplessly, and once again he deeply understood that his future was not going to be easy.
Bang... The sound of breaking porcelain came from the direction of the small garden, which stopped Mingna and Alex in their tracks. The two looked at each other with doubts in their eyes, and hurriedly ran towards the direction from which the sound came.
Two maids hurriedly ran over from the other end of the corridor, a few steps behind Minna. Why aren't they waiting for orders at the garden gate
Minna felt strange, but immediately heard Alex say in her ear: "After Ito's messenger came in, the guards drove away all the servants who were waiting nearby, including the doctor. Secret matters need to be discussed.”
So that's it. Ming Na hurried to the glass flower room and happened to meet the guard who had led Gandinan in just now. He came out holding a plate with broken teacups in it. She was about to ask what happened, but the guard spoke first: "Miss Mingna, you came just in time. I accidentally broke His Highness's cup just now. I'm really sorry. Who should I talk to?" About compensation?”
"No need to pay, it's just a cup." Ming Na looked into the glass room and saw the eldest prince Hyatt sitting on a wicker chair, staring straight at the table in front of him, saying nothing, and next to him, Gan Dinan was kneeling on the ground with one leg, lowering his head and reporting in a low voice. Ming Na had good ears, and through the slightly opened door of the flower room, she could vaguely hear words such as "queen", "parliament", "deprivation of the crown prince's qualifications", "force" and "conflict".
The guard moved his feet, blocking her view: "But this is high-end porcelain produced in Italy. I heard that it is worth a lot of money. Please give me a chance to compensate."
Minna glanced at him. His head was lowered, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
"Mingna." Alex shouted softly. Mingna nodded slightly, smiled and said to the guard: "In that case. You go find William, he is our butler, and he is there every day during dinner. The person who stands silently at the dinner table. If you can't find it, you can tell Winnie directly. The kitchen is her territory." And she likes this set of china very much. May the God of Light protect her from tearing it. you.
Ming Na turned around and left with her friends. It wasn't until she entered the potion studio and cast a few safety spells that she solemnly said: "Alex, it sounds like something terrible happened in Ito."
Alex nodded: "We were worried too. But we didn't pay attention to it..." He looked at Ming Na: "We should have thought of it earlier. People who returned to Ito have probably spread the news that His Highness was injured. , they only knew that his right foot was seriously injured, and there were deep scars on his face. As a crown prince, this is something that is disgraceful to the country, and the queen cannot let go of such a good opportunity... "
"But his injury is almost healed." Ming Na frowned, "As long as he returns to Yidong, all the rumors will be broken."
"But she doesn't know." Alex sneered. "She thought that the eldest prince was chronically poisoned and seriously injured. Even if it doesn't appear to be dangerous on the surface, his injuries may worsen and die at any time. In fact, if he hadn't met you, the eldest prince would definitely be dead! Even if he is lucky to survive, there will be flaws. With healthy brothers, he cannot continue to sit in the position of crown prince. What's more, he is not in Ito now. He cannot get the news in time, let alone make correct decisions. Deal with it. By the time he gets the news and goes back, I'm afraid the matter will be a foregone conclusion." After a pause, he squinted his eyes: "I finally understand.
"Understand what?"
"In the past two years, Queen Lorna often said that the second prince had to travel for one or two months every year and gained a lot of knowledge. However, the eldest prince was always bored in the palace studying political affairs and did not understand the situation outside at all, which is not conducive to the future. In order to govern the country, I suggested that His Majesty the King allow the eldest prince to travel around the country and see the local customs and customs. His Majesty thought it made sense, so he agreed. Since his travels abroad, His Majesty's character has become calmer and he can handle political affairs better. I was originally wondering why the queen would come up with such a good suggestion. Now that I think about it, if the eldest prince is poisoned and travels abroad, he will easily get into trouble if he gets sick or injured. On the other hand, a magic potion that has the ability to see through that kind of poison The masters are all concentrated in Ito. The eldest prince often goes to other places, so the possibility of being discovered is small. When the poison occurs, if there is no one who can detoxify it, he will die just the same..."
Ming Na took a breath: "This woman is so poisonous!"
Alex shook his head and sighed: "Her plan was really good, but it was a pity that she met you and, of course, me. Now she got the wrong information and made the wrong decision. She will wait until the eldest prince returns to Iraq. Dong, the moment the rumor is broken, she will have to pay the price... No one will believe that she did not spread the rumor intentionally."
Ming Na asked hesitantly: "If something happens to her, will it affect the second prince and Manda?"
Alex didn't answer, but that already hinted at the answer. Mingna couldn't help but worry about the little cousin.
At the same time, Hyatt was also worried about his younger brother. If the stepmother really takes action and intends to deprive herself of the title of crown prince, once he returns to Ito and her lie is broken, Serig will definitely be affected. That was his biological brother, and he couldn't watch him get into danger.
He asked the Anlong family to return to Yidong that night, but before his father could respond, Mingna objected: "No! Your treatment is not over yet. I mean the detoxification one, it will take at least half a day." It takes a month to completely remove the toxin! If you stop now, the poison will stay in your body forever and will never be removed! Besides, your foot injury is not healed yet! If something goes wrong, you really He will become a cripple!"
"Miss Minna!" Hyatt said sincerely, "Please understand my feelings. I'm not worried about the throne or anything, I'm just afraid that Selig will be implicated. There are some people who support me, but I can't control them. They. I'm very afraid that they will hurt Selig. Especially... Beryl has gone back. She has always been very protective of my position. In order to confront the queen, I don't know what she will do. I really hate that, Do you understand? This will not only divide my family, but also other families, and even...divide this country!"
Minna looked at him in shock, not knowing what to say. Is it really that serious
Hebby bowed and walked up to her, bending down to her: "Miss Minna, can you please come back to Ito with us? Your Highness needs your help."
Ming Na was completely stunned this time.
