When a carriage slowly drove out from the north gate of the imperial capital, Mr. Qiu looked deeply at the queen who had fallen asleep.
Seth’s sudden disappearance—disappearance
Rody felt a little bitter when he thought of this: Seth is not dead. He knew this very well. He left with a curtain call full of irony, but undoubtedly left them with a big mess!
Roddy suddenly discovered something extremely ridiculous - although Seth walked away like this, it seemed that he still won!
He left, but left behind a queen and the child in her belly...
How to solve this problem? The Queen will never leave with Mr. Qiu... She won't even die.
If a woman falls into a stupid love, she will have no reason at all... From the queen's decisive eyes, Rody can be sure that she will not leave even if she dies now. She must still be thinking about that playboy and thinking that he will come back...
Naturally, Mr. Qiu would not take her away by force... If he had the intention to do so, he would have done it a few years ago.
Then the situation becomes complicated...
Although Seth has left, things are still developing step by step according to his plan...
What should the queen do? What to do with the child in the queen's belly
Rody can almost see the future development of things... He must take over this mess, and it seems that the only solution at present is to follow Seth's plan!
What a big joke! It was as if he had rounded his hands and slapped himself hard! Thinking of Seth's mocking smile before he disappeared, Roddy felt more and more depressed.
After the Queen woke up, she just looked at Mr. Qiu with cold eyes, and there was undoubtedly a deep hatred in her eyes... which meant "You forced him away!"
Mr. Qiu is strong, but at the same time he is also weak...
Finally, the queen finally called Roddy to her side and whispered a word. After saying this, Rody almost smiled bitterly.
What the Queen said was: "Set told me that the Emperor is dying!"
After coming out of the palace, Rody suddenly missed a guy strongly in his mind - a guy who might be able to help him solve these problems now.
Seth was right about something. He is really not good at thinking about these conspiracies... There are no such things in his mind.
So, after explaining to Mr. Qiu, Rody quietly left the palace and headed towards the Tulip Duke's Palace!
There were many more people outside the Duke's Palace than usual. Since the Prince's Mansion was attacked, all the residences of noble ministers in the empire have stepped up security. Soldiers from the security station patrolled back and forth, and some even blocked the streets to prevent idlers from entering or exiting.
After all, Rody's strength was different at the moment. Even though there were so many soldiers in charge, he still sneaked into the Duke's Mansion easily.
He didn't go to find Nicole. He was anxious and went directly to the quiet little courtyard in the Tulip Duke's Mansion.
Dodging the guards in the mansion, he ran all the way into the small courtyard where no one usually came in and out, and opened the flash door that he had studied in for a long time. Roddy couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in a low voice. : "Andy! Come out!"
At a glance, the place in the corner where the skeleton was originally placed was empty!
Andy is gone! Even the skeleton is gone!
Roddy's surprise was no small matter - he had always relied on Andy's guidance when encountering problems he couldn't solve. Andy can be said to be his teacher. Unfortunately, since he transformed into that damn dragon, he has been unable to have any contact with Andy. Now he ran back full of hope, only to find that the skeleton was gone!
Nicole has been restless these past few days. A lot of things have happened in the Imperial Capital these days. There is a commotion outside, and there are constant news coming, that the Prince's Mansion has been completely wiped out, and there are vampires in the Imperial Capital... At home... The guards stepped up their inspections, but Nicole still locked herself in the room every day.
After the news of the emperor's proposal to her began to spread, many people in the family congratulated her - but soon no one dared to say such words to her anymore! Everyone understands that our eldest lady is very disgusted with the emperor's proposal - not just disgust, she is simply disgusted!
"Alas..." Nicole looked at her haggard face in the mirror, shook her head and said, "Nicole, don't you want to revitalize your family? Why did you refuse the emperor's proposal? Are you smart or not? Where's the fool?"
As soon as she finished saying this, she heard a voice behind her saying softly: "You are a fool, but you are the most beautiful fool in the world."
That familiar voice fell into her ears, and Nicole's heart jumped suddenly. She turned around and saw a familiar voice standing by the window. The originally closed window had been half opened, and this person was standing there. Beside the curtain, a face with a wry smile and eyes full of tenderness was looking at him!
Nicole took a deep breath, was stunned, looked at this seemingly familiar face, and exclaimed: "You are Roddy!"
Rody smiled bitterly and said, "It's me, I'm back."
Nicole dropped the comb in her hand and stood up. She stared at Rody in stunned silence and murmured: "Your face... you took off the mask! How could you take off the mask? And... How can you come back? You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Rody strode over, hugged Nicole, held her tightly in his arms, and whispered: "Anyway, I'm back. Others , no one wants to marry you away!"
Nicole seemed to have no strength at once, and hugged Roddy tightly with her backhand.
The two hugged each other so tightly. Rody was so excited that he lowered his head and wanted to kiss Nicole, but was suddenly pushed away by Nicole. Nicole seemed to finally react emotionally. She stared at Roddy: "Are you crazy! How could you take off the mask? How did you take it off? And... you... why did you suddenly Come back? Do you know the consequences of doing this?”
Rody wanted to speak, but Nicole didn't let him speak, and said in one breath: "I know you are worried about me, but I have already rejected the emperor! I will be fine! The emperor can't force me into the palace! But if you come back now with all your heart, do you know how much trouble you will be in? "
The look in Rody's eyes was helpless, he sighed softly, and whispered: "Is it troublesome? Nicole... I'm afraid the trouble will be big this time! I... I have met Seth... "
An hour later, several guards who were patrolling outside suddenly heard an exclamation from Miss Nicole from upstairs where she lived...
"What!!!"
Nicole stared at Roddy in front of her with wide eyes. Fortunately, she only shouted once and then instinctively covered her mouth. Then her face darkened, anger flashed in her eyes, and she said tremblingly: "That Bastard, is he... is he crazy?"
There was a knock on the door outside, and then a guard shouted: "Miss, are you okay?"
Nicole was furious, and immediately shouted after hearing this: "What are you shouting for! Get down, I'm fine! No one will come upstairs without me!"
After the guards outside left, Nicole couldn't help but walk back and forth in the room twice, frowning tightly, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, finally sighed and whispered: "Rody, this is terrible. It’s really troublesome.”
"I know."
Nicole thought about it again and sighed: "But now it seems that the only way in front of us is the plan of that guy Seth... Also, he said that His Majesty the Emperor will die? What does this mean?"
Rody shook his head: "I don't know."
"I do not know what that means?"
Nicole frowned, but as soon as he finished saying this, the voice of the guard came from outside: "Miss Nicole, Lord Gordon, the commander of the Royal Guards, is here, and he wants to see you immediately!"
Nicole glanced at Roddy, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, you ask Commander Gordon to wait for me in the lobby..."
Before she finished speaking, Gordon's anxious voice came in: "Miss Nicole, I'm right here, are you waiting for me to come in? It's an emergency!"
Nicole was stunned for a moment and winked at Rody, who immediately walked behind the screen used for changing clothes in the room.
Then Nicole took a deep breath and said: "Commander Gordon, please come in!"
The door opened, and Gordon, who was fully armed, strode in. He turned around and closed the door first, and then got down on one knee. With a serious and anxious expression on his face, he whispered: "Miss Nicole, I'm sorry. I broke into your room... but the matter was really urgent... and I came here secretly... so I really couldn't... "
"Please speak, Commander Gordon!" Nicole remained calm.
Gordon's voice was not loud, but every word was clear:
"Just an hour ago, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly fainted... After the chief warlock and medical officer in the palace examined him, they both said..."
"say what?"
"Said His Majesty doesn't have a few more days to live!"
"What!" Nicole jumped up immediately and stared at Gordon.
Gordon whispered: "I just learned this news, and I rushed to tell the lady immediately! Miss..." He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still said: "His Majesty the Emperor suddenly did this... but he did not leave the crown prince! This At this time, the situation in the Imperial City is complicated... Our Tulip family should be prepared! Every time when the imperial power changes, it is like walking on a tightrope! At this moment, the Duke is not in the Imperial City, so I have to report to the lady!"
Nicole's eyes flashed, she thought for a moment, and whispered: "Thank you, Commander Gordon..." After saying this, she immediately shouted: "Come, prepare the carriage! I want to enter the palace!"
Gordon was startled and said loudly: "Miss! Enter the palace now? Now..."
Nicole shook her head, with a strange look in her eyes. She said calmly: "I want to see Her Majesty the Queen!" After a pause, she suddenly said: "Commander Gordon, please go out first... I want to change my clothes!"
`
In a royal manor in the suburbs, the gloomy-looking Prince Balang was slowly wiping a dagger in his hand, and the cold light on the dagger was reflected on his face.
There was a trace of sorrow and haze in the eyes of this serious middle-aged man. Suddenly, he heard a few flapping sounds outside the window, and a carrier pigeon flew in from the outside. Prince Balan walked over and grabbed the carrier pigeon, holding a silk thread from the pigeon's leg. He pulled out a thin piece of paper, unfolded it and took a look.
His expression suddenly changed, and there was a complicated look in his eyes. Then the look gradually turned into a smile, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"He actually can't do it... He can't do it now..." Prince Balang smiled as if he was bitter: "He can't do it?"
He suddenly threw the scroll of paper in his hand to the ground and said bitterly: "Why on earth is this! Why did I plan everything, but my son is already dead!!"
After taking a few breaths, his breathing gradually calmed down. He picked up the scroll on the ground and read it again. He suddenly laughed wildly and said, "Hahahaha... He is not alive... Then I will be the emperor! I will be the emperor!!" "
He laughed louder and louder, but along with his wild laughter, tears were already flowing out!
After he finally calmed down, he took a deep breath and shouted: "Come here!"
Prince Balang looked at his men who walked in and said: "Send someone to the Central Cavalry Corps! Let the commander of the Bayi Corps come to see me immediately!"
He had a sneer on his face and a sharp look in his eyes, which made his subordinates look stunned.
Prince Balang's face darkened, and when he was about to say something, suddenly another carrier pigeon flew in outside the window. Balang's heart moved, he walked over, took off a paper roll tied to the pigeon's foot, frowned and said: " What news is there..."
He unfolded the scroll and took one look at it, his eyes immediately widened, and he yelled suddenly: "What's going on!! What's going on!! She...she's actually pregnant!!"
`
The imperial capital, the residence of the Marquis Caroline, the military minister of the Lionheart family.
The old Marquis was already standing in front of the door. He had just learned the news inside the palace. His Majesty the Emperor was suddenly critically ill and had passed out. When he got the news, the old fox only twitched his eyelids, and then immediately gave an order. The confidant of the family.
"Ride out of the city immediately, rush to the Northern Army, and tell Milo the news! Let him reorganize the army immediately and wait for my news! Let him be ready at all times... But you must wait for my news. Without my news, you are not allowed to He acted rashly! Now that His Majesty the Emperor is dead, the only one who can succeed is Prince Balang... We have always been at odds with each other, and I am His Majesty's confidant. Now that he succeeds to the throne, it is likely that he will be unfavorable to me! Just in case something unexpected happens!”
After issuing this order, the old Marquis sighed and murmured: "It's time for the change of imperial power again... It's really scary to encounter this kind of thing... This guy Barang really wants to touch our Lionheart family. … Hehe, don’t forget that the Empire’s Northern Army is still in our hands!”
Immediately, the old Marquis Caroline walked out of the Marquis Palace under the escort of the guards. Just as he was about to get into the carriage, suddenly a horse ran quickly from the street and galloped to the door of the Marquis Palace. On the horse was a man dressed as a palace servant. People jumped down.
Marquis Caroline was moved in his heart and asked the guards not to stop the man, but whispered: "Why did you come here by yourself? I have already received your news."
The man walked quickly to Marquis Caroline and whispered something in his ear.
This old fox kept calm when he received the news that His Majesty the Emperor was dying, but when he heard these words, the muscles on his face trembled violently, and he suddenly said to his men: "I'm not going to the palace! !”
Seeing the stunned expressions of his guards, Marquis Caroline looked gloomy and said calmly, "Leave the city! Go to Prince Balan's manor!"
After saying this, the old Marquis got on the carriage and sat on the seat with a gloomy expression, still thinking about what the insider in the palace said to him just now.
"Her Majesty the Queen is pregnant! After checking it, the chief medical officer of the palace confirmed that it is true! Miss Nicole of the Tulip family is now with Her Majesty the Queen... In view of His Majesty's current serious condition, Her Majesty the Queen ordered on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor to immediately recall Duke Tulip ! This order has been approved by His Majesty’s two princes and uncles!”
The old Marquis's eyes were a little gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Tulip..."
`
At the east gate of the imperial capital, a horse ran quickly through the city gate, but the soldiers guarding the city did not stop it, because the knight on the horse was holding a token symbolizing the royal emblem high in one hand. The horse was running very fast. They galloped towards the station of the Central Cavalry Corps.
At the north gate of the imperial capital, a horse also left the city and headed towards the north along the road. The knight of Mashan looked serious, because he carried the strict order of the old Marquis Caroline!
And in the south of the imperial capital, on the road dozens of miles away from the imperial capital, a handsome black horse was galloping quickly with all four hooves spread!
If Sieg or Gordon saw this horse, they would be very surprised - because this is the black horse "Garros" that the old Duke Tulip rode on the battlefield for many years.
This horse is taller and more majestic than ordinary horses. Its limbs are as strong as iron bones, and the muscles on its body are distinct and as powerful as knives! The knight on the horse has blue hair flying in the strong wind, and a resolute face with a bit of solemnity. He is lying down in the most accurate cavalry posture, trying to reduce physical exertion.
Because he knows that there is still a long way to go!
Rody is running towards the south, and his destination is Southern Purple Leaf City! He clearly remembered Nicole's words in his mind:
"Rody, things are very dangerous now. You must return to the south immediately and bring back all the Spike Army! Use the fastest speed! At the same time, please ask the commander of the Southern Army, General Camus, to immediately lead the Southern Army to the Imperial Capital. ! I have an order signed by Her Majesty the Queen! Although Her Majesty the Queen has no right to do this, the matter is urgent. If you tell Commander Camus about the situation in the imperial capital, Commander Kattar will understand. If he doesn't understand, you can! We must convince him! With Mr. Qiu here in the Imperial Capital, you don’t have to worry about our safety!”
Rody originally didn't want to leave the Imperial Capital, but Nicole's words made him make up his mind.
What Nicole said was: "Rody... Now Seth has betrayed the family and the empire... I... you are my only support! If the emperor dies, and Prince Balang learns that the queen is pregnant, he will definitely stage a coup." ! What the coup requires is military power! Our Tulip family is deeply rooted in the imperial side. Once the emperor dies, who will the army follow... Hehe, just look at the pattern on the flag! "
Is it a coup? Rody sneered in his heart - I may not be good at conspiracy, but if I were to lead the Wolf Fang Army to kill people, it would be a simple matter!
`
Just when the imperial capital was turbulent and all the major forces were ready to take action, behind a remote and desolate mountain far away from the outskirts of the imperial capital...
This is a cemetery outside the imperial capital. Large and small tombstones are erected. Just by looking at it, you can tell that this is the cemetery of some civilians.
Under the gloomy sky, the cemetery seemed to be shrouded in mist, and it was lonely. Only occasionally could I hear two crows croaking on the branches.
Deep in the cemetery, there seems to be a strange figure squirming...
The figure seemed to be piecing together on the ground, and then a ball of brilliance enveloped him...
After fusing the last "part" to the body, the man finally stretched lazily, a somewhat relaxed smile appeared on his dull face, and said lightly: "It's finally done... It sounds simple when you think about it, but it’s really complicated when you do it…”
He lowered his head and examined his body carefully, with a satisfied look in his eyes: "Okay, okay, I finally look like a human being... Well, I just don't know how long I can last because my spiritual power has been consumed too much... If someone just died It’s more suitable for your body…”
At this point, he sighed: "Let's make do with it for now..." He walked two steps crookedly and said with a wry smile: "Damn, the way people walk is really not used to it..."
He just walked out of the cemetery with weird steps like a wolf, with a proud smile on his face...
"Boy Rody, you will definitely be shocked when you see me! Hahahaha... I am really a genius!"
