When Xia Ya walked into the palace, all the people were expelled.
Outside, the cavalry of the strong cavalry battalion had firmly held the palace, not even a single attendant was left.
Then, Xiaya slowly walked into the conference hall.
He knew that that day, Adrick was ambushed here!
When he walked in, he looked at the far corner of the wall - there was no blood on the ground, it must have been washed away.
That day... the adults died there.
Xia Ya only glanced at it, and then withdrew her eyes.
Then, he looked at Garcia, who was still sitting on it.
Garcia sat in the center seat that symbolized the throne.
He looked so thin that he was almost out of shape, his face was as pale as paper, and there was no more blood.
It's just that those eyes are full of bloodshots!
"Garcia, I'm here." Xiaya walked in front of him and looked at the emperor of the empire coldly.
"Humph." Garcia was still walking there, just looking at Xi Ya, gritted his teeth: "So what if you come! Xi Ya... I've been thinking these days, who will take my life in the end! Sure enough, it is you! Sure enough, it is only you! In this empire, the most powerful person to usurp the throne is you Xia Lei Ming, right!"
Xia Ya didn't speak, just looked at the place and sighed in a low voice.
"I remember going through the corridor ahead and it was a restaurant." Char's tone seemed calm: "I remember... the first time I came to the imperial capital, the first time I entered the palace, it was in that restaurant, Emperor Cantos. His Majesty met me there, and his old man has always appreciated me and reused me, and I would like to thank His Majesty Cantos for his award to Xiaya.”
Garcia didn't speak.
"It's a pity, if you hadn't done something that I couldn't tolerate, even in the face of His Majesty Cantos, even in the face of Adeline, I would never kill you."
Garcia just sneered: "Xia Ya, you are so proud... Do you think you are the emperor by killing me? That old dog Minas will definitely fight with you! Hahahaha! Even if I die, I will still be here. Looking at you underground, the blood of killing flows into a river! I will laugh happily! Hahahahahahahaha !!! "
"Then just laugh."
Xia walked up slowly, walked up the steps, and stood in front of Garcia's chair, and then Xia looked down at Garcia who was huddled in the chair: "I am here today, not to kill you, but to kill you. I want to see you... and then, by the way, tell you something."
"Tell me... something?" Garcia was stunned.
"The first thing... Daphne is pregnant." Xia pointed to her nose: "The child is mine."
"You?!" Garcia suddenly changed color and jumped up abruptly, but unfortunately, Xi Ya made him sit down again with a single finger.
"The second thing, I have sent someone to the south, and Duke Minas wants to negotiate with me... They only put forward two conditions, one is that the child in Daphne's belly will become the heir to the throne, and the other is that The Duke asked for a respectable and prestigious position. Of course, I have agreed to his request. Therefore, I have issued an order in your name. The Duke of Minas has worked hard and has been named Prime Minister of the Empire, and Rhodey has , is to take over the post of Minister of Military Affairs."
"Gege, Gege..." Garcia's teeth were shaking.
"Look, my arrangement is not bad, right?" Xia looked at Garcia's eyes and said lightly: "The representative of Duke Minas has almost arrived in the imperial capital... After we have agreed, he will start withdrawing troops in the south. , and then personally come to the imperial capital to take office..."
He pointed to Garcia's nose: "So, I won't kill you now, I need you to live for a few more months... In a few months, when the child is born, I will make the child the heir in your name. And then... at that time, you can die."
He gently patted Garcia's shoulder: "So, Garcia, without my permission, even if you want to die, you can't die, I promise you can't do it, if you don't believe it, we can bet. "
Then he turned around, slowly walked down the steps again, then looked at Garcia, and said: "I have carefully interrogated the royal guards in the palace—everyone who participated in the ambush and murder of Adric that day, I Before executing them, they carefully inquired about every detail."
After a pause, he said in a low voice, "Before the lord died, I asked you a question. He said, after he died, who would stand up for the Empire Hengdao. Right?"
Garcia didn't speak.
"Look, the lord is very wise." Xia Ya pointed to his nose: "Now, I am the strong one. I am here! If the lord is not dead, the lord will naturally block me... But now you killed him yourself, so ... I'm here, and no one will stand in my way. Are you saying you're... stupid?"
When Xi Ya said this, he smiled lightly: "Also... This sentence, if I remember correctly, was the last Tulip Duke, Lord Luke, who asked the emperor at that time before he died... Speaking of which, your Karenma family still It's really stupid! There is a tradition of unjustly killing your own pillars! Back then you killed the last grand duke of the Tulip family, but then the Odins rose up and bullied you for hundreds of years. Now you kill Adric, the last one is right. A loyal person in the empire! And after his death... other people can hardly wait to invite a scoundrel like me into your palace."
After he said that, he took a deep breath and looked left and right before saying: "It is said that the last Grand Duke Tulip once left a curse before his death, saying... Your Karenma family was founded on the basis of the Tulip family. Dynasty, then in the future, your dynasty will definitely end in the hands of Tulip's descendants!"
Having said this, a malicious smile appeared on his face: "Tell you a secret, Your Majesty! There are indeed descendants of the Tulip family who have escaped the butcher knife of your Kronma family and survived! And I His adoptive father is the descendant of the Tulip Family! Me... even the most orthodox heir of the Tulip Family in this world! So…”
At the end, he smiled lightly: "The one who killed your Karenma family... it was indeed a tulip!"
After speaking, Xia Ya bent down and performed a standard courtier etiquette under the steps.
"Your majesty has retired, please take good care of your majesty. I think... we will not see each other again. I will not come to see you when you die. As the emperor of the empire, you will only die in obscurity in the end of the lowliest bastards. In the hands of the executioner, no one will be buried and no one will visit."
…
Xia Ya walked out of the inner court of the palace, and when he came outside, he said coldly to the guards around him: "Send a flag regiment to guard this place. Without my warrant, anyone who dares to enter or leave will be killed!"
After a pause, he said, "Let the people inside watch him closely, and don't let him have the chance to commit suicide. No matter what, no matter what method you use, let him live for a few months before dying."
As he said that, he slowly walked down the steps, and saw a carriage driving directly to the front of the hall from a distance under the steps.
Before the carriage could stop, Nene jumped out of it. When Xia Ya saw Nene, a sincere smile finally appeared on her face. Nene ran up a few steps and hugged Xia Ya gently. Xia Ya sighed. : "When did you arrive?"
"Just arrived." Nene smiled bitterly: "We followed General Green's army and wiped your ass all the way in the back. You played very well in the front, but the gestures at the back ended, and you really ate those places, but all It's a headache, but fortunately there is Lord Sophie."
Xia Ya looked inside the carriage, Sophie walked out slowly, bowing her head to Xia Ya.
Xia Ya smiled lightly, looked at Nene, frowned and said, "Adeline she..."
"She doesn't want to come." Nene sighed: "You know, Garcia has always had a good relationship with her, and she knows she can't stop you, so..."
After a pause, looking into Xiaya's eyes, Nene added: "Mr. Merlin and Aunt Sophia are both at home. With them watching, Adeline will be fine, so..."
"I just want to know when the knot in her heart will be solved." Xia Ya shook her head.
He couldn't resolve this contradiction right away—thinking about it, he had to give it time.
Nene was silent for a while, then looked at Xiaya: "Get in the car."
"boarding?"
"Yeah, get in the car!" Nene smiled and said, "I'm different from you. Once you arrive in the imperial capital, you will rectify military affairs, take over the city defense, and then rush to the palace to find Garcia's bad luck... You are a man, and you hide it in your heart. Such a big anger, but I am a woman, I understand that there are people waiting to see that you have been waiting in the imperial capital now."
"..." Xia Ya's face couldn't help but be embarrassed.
"Let's go, I've already seen her." Nene looked at Sophie and said with a smile, "Lord Sophie help, otherwise, it's really not easy to see her."
Xia Ya didn't want to delay any longer, so she simply boarded the carriage with them.
The carriage drove out of the palace, but not in the direction of the city, but in the direction out of the city.
Seeing the gate of the city, Xia couldn't help but say, "Huh? Where did you hide Daphne? Isn't it in the city?"
"She's already pregnant with your child, so she doesn't want to live in the courtyard of the palace anymore. A few days ago, she moved out of the city... I know, you still have a big house for you in the imperial capital. !"
Xia Ya's eyes lit up!
In the southern suburbs of the city, Tulip Garden!
The carriage drove all the way, and there were naturally strong riding camp guards in the front and back. It came to the southern suburbs of the city near the sea. After climbing the mountain, the mansion in Tulip Garden was in front of you.
The house has been renovated and looks less shabby.
When Xia Ya got off the carriage, she saw a figure standing at the door of this house!
That purple hair immediately jumped into Xia Ya's eyes!
"Via." Xia Ya's voice was low.
Then he walked over slowly, Nene was about to follow, but Sophie gently pulled her, then shook her head.
"You're here." Via raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Ya.
Xia Ya didn't speak, and suddenly slapped her in the face!
Via didn't dodge, let Xi Ya slap him in the face, fell out, and then slowly got up.
"You should know why I hit you." Xia Ya said coldly.
"I know." Via looked at Xia Ya: "I am responsible for his death. I passed the news, so she was anxious to go to the palace to defend herself, so... "
"You are not the mastermind, you are just being used." Xia Ya shook his head and said, "But what I hate is that you are his daughter! Why are you involved in this!"
Via sneered: "I don't want to explain, and I don't want to say this. You beat me, and I'm willing to give you a blow, but nothing else is necessary, Xiaya! You know, I hate you the most. Looks like you're on top!"
"I have no reason to be high in front of you." Xia Ya shook his head: "You once saved my life. It's just this slap in the face, I have to slap it."
"Is the fight over?" Via sneered: "I'll leave after the fight... I don't need to see you again in this life, Xia Yaleiming! Now that you're here and my work is done, your woman will be left to you to take care of yourself. !"
Saying that, Via was about to leave, and Xiaya frowned and said, "...you, wait a minute!"
Via turned around and looked at Xia coldly: "What?"
"You... just left?" Xia pondered: "If you have nowhere to go, why not..."
"Shut up, you." Via said bitterly, "Don't think that I'm obediently surrendering to you when I got a slap in the face! Xia Ya, you are not qualified to teach me a lesson, nor to let me serve you. Hmph... As for our engagement, it was only done when the old man was dizzy, I never admitted it, and you naturally don't have to think about it."
"I didn't mean that." Xiaya smiled bitterly.
"Goodbye then!" Via thought for a while, then shook his head: "I'll never see you again! From now on, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the future will be indefinite!"
After she finished speaking, she dragged her clumsy leg and slowly limped away from under Xia Ya's eyelids.
Xia Ya wanted to keep it again, but Sophie came up slowly and stopped Xia Ya.
"Sir, just let her go... Via, she has always been suffering."
"Their father and daughter... what the hell are they doing?" Xia sighed.
"Via has a very hard life... In short, it was Adric who was sorry for her."
"Oh?"
"Look at Via's appearance and tall figure, are they different from ordinary Byzantine women?"
Xia Ya thought about it, nodded and said, "It's not quite the same."
"Via's mother was Odin, but she became a slave girl during the war and was sold to Byzantium, and then... met General Adric."
Having said this, Sophie sighed slowly: "It's just an injustice. Adric fell in love with the slave girl at first sight, but unfortunately, because of his identity, he could never accept a slave girl, and he absolutely couldn't find an Odin woman as his wife. Companion! Even a concubine is absolutely impossible!! So he finally sent this woman away... but he didn't know that the woman was pregnant when she was sent away. It's a pity that the woman had a tragic life. I don't know how much suffering, and was sold into a slave again... So when Via was born, he was a slave, and when he was a child, he used a brand to ruin his face than a slave owner. A few years later, Adric found it by chance. Their mother and daughter, but unfortunately Via's mother has passed away. Although Via has found her father, the relationship has always been very bad. She hated General Adrick for abandoning her mother back then, and she always believed that Adric was committed to A hero, so I would never accept an Odin woman. This is hypocrisy. After all, it was Adric who came forward and made her worship under my teacher, Kavisim, and accepted her as a disciple. The teacher tried to resolve the hatred in her heart. , and finally used a division order to ask her to serve in Adric's army. Unfortunately, Via stayed in Adric's army for several years, but still couldn't ease the relationship between the two, and finally ran away..."
Xia Ya looked at Sophie and suddenly smiled: "Okay, no need to suffer anymore. Since it's a sad past, there's no need to mention it again."
He looked at the mountain road... Via had disappeared without a trace.
"In this world, I'm the only one who can contact her now." Sophie sighed softly.
Xia Ya suddenly felt a bit of malice in her heart, and looked at Sophie: "Sophie, you are not too young, right? As the number one government official under my command, haven't you considered finding a suitable husband?"
Sophie panicked and raised her head to look at Xiaya.
However, Xiaya narrowed her eyes: "I just remembered suddenly... Via once told me that she would never marry me in death, as if... I remember that she has always hated men. When you talk about her life experience, Then it's not surprising, there is that kind of experience, I'm afraid she's disappointed with all the men in the world... I'm just curious, she seems to be only close to you? "
Sophie suddenly panicked.
Xia Ya laughed and patted Sophie on the shoulder: "Everyone has their own secrets, your secrets, I won't investigate them."
After a pause, he said in a low voice that only Sophie could hear: "Actually, I don't discriminate against that kind of thing. Of course, men and men are a little disgusting, women and women... I think it is still It's beautiful."
Sophie blushed instantly.
Xia Ya laughed and strode into the house.
Nene watched the two secretly whisper from behind, and didn't know what they said, but it made the chief of staff, who had always been calm on weekdays, so gaffe.
Xia Ya strode into the house, and as soon as she entered the gate, she saw that delicate figure, snuggling under the stairs, with a pair of wonderful eyes, staring at herself in a daze, crying silently.
Xia Ya rushed over immediately, then gently took her into his arms, and a big hand caressed her bulging belly honestly.
Daphne's face was instantly stained, and he said in a low voice, "You... you..."
"What am I?" Xia Ya deliberately pretended not to know, and said slowly: "I am the child's father. It's only natural to touch this child. Besides..." After a pause, Xia Ya looked at Daphne, whose cheeks were thin: " It's hard on you. Hey, I heard that women gain some weight when they are pregnant, but you are so thin, I think you are too worried. "
Saying that, he said softly, "Don't be afraid. Now that I'm here, I will naturally take care of the big things. You can just give birth to your child with peace of mind."
Behind him, Nene coughed honestly and forcefully, and then Xia turned around, looked at Nene, and let go of Daphne embarrassedly.
Nene looked at the queen, and at the woman who first gave birth to Xia Ya, she didn't know what it was like in her heart.
I had seen this queen's stunning appearance in the north, and at this moment, I really felt pity.
Nei Nei sighed at random. After all, Miss Nei is not good at words. After hesitating for a long time, she said embarrassingly: "Well, you are indeed too thin. If you are so thin, it is not good for children. That..."
How smart is Queen Daphne, born in a wealthy family since childhood, she is much stronger than Nene for this kind of worldly sophistication. Seeing that Nene speaks clumsily, she also knows that the other party seems to want to show goodwill to her, so she just let go. After Xia Ya came over, he gently took Nene's hand and whispered, "General Nene... I, I haven't had time to congratulate you."
"I... I have nothing to congratulate." Nene glanced at Xia Ya and sighed: "Always... always... "
I just talked for a long time, but after all, I couldn't say a word.
Sophie looked at the three and snickered and avoided it. This kind of privacy in the big boss's house, as a subordinate, it is better to ignore it.
Xiaya stayed in the courtyard for one night, and the three of them chatted until midnight, and then let the queen rest in order not to affect Daphne's body.
On the other hand, Nene dragged Xia Ya and talked for a while.
Xia Ya looked at Nene and suddenly remembered something: "You said... Saint Laurent left something for me... Is it related to this Tulip Garden?"
"Yes." Nene slapped his head: "If you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten it! The... wealth left by the adults, you don't care, I think they will stay in the holy city anyway, so I don't care for the time being. That’s alright, sooner or later I’ll have time to go and ship it out. But in this Tulip Garden, the adults told me that there is a secret about the Tulip family that I want to pass on to the descendants of Tulip.”
"The descendants of Tulip?" Xia Ya thought about it, the old drunkard has no descendants, although he is only an adopted son, the identity of the descendants can only be himself.
He remembered the mechanism in the underground darkroom behind the courtyard.
"You're talking about... a few weird magic doors in that basement darkroom?"
Nene glanced at Xia Ya: "So you've seen it before?"
"I've seen it, but the door is very weird, but it can't be opened." Xia Ya shook his head.
Nene pursed her lips and smiled: "The lord said that the secret of the Tulip family is inside the door... She told me how to open the door."
"Oh?" Xia Ya's eyes lit up, and she jumped up immediately, with an excited expression on her face: "Then what are you waiting for! Let's go and see!"
Saying that, pull up Nei Nei and leave.
