Emperor Abbas XI was sitting there, with no expression on his face - but at least he was awake, very awake, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him.
In a side hall next to the palace, the emperor who suddenly woke up met the two groups of people who had almost made a scene in the square with blood splattering on the spot.
The only one who did not come was Pope Corsica VI.
Because the palace chamberlain who conveyed the message conveyed the emperor's words: "This is an internal matter of the royal family. Thank you to His Majesty the Pope for his mediation. Now it is better to ask His Majesty the Pope to recuse himself." This clearly means: This is our family matter, you follow What's the benefit? Let's go now!
Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, Tian Lie could hardly help but laugh when he saw the pope's face turned pale with anger when he left.
The emperor's eyes were very calm, and there was no emotion or anger in them. When everyone stood in front of him, his first words were to the queen: "Queen, you are not in good health, so you should go down and rest first. "
This sentence of "poor health" almost made the queen faint from fright.
The emperor's eyes lightly swept over her body, never stopping for a moment - there seemed to be some disgust in it.
The distraught queen glanced at her side, but realized that the man who had been by her side to protect her was no longer there, and finally turned pale.
There was silence in the side hall. I originally thought that the emperor would get angry and deal with Prince Balan or Queen Tulip on the spot. However, the emperor seemed to be surprisingly calm. It seemed that he waited until everyone was uneasy before he spoke. His tone seemed a bit strange. : "Enough of the commotion. Let the troops outside disperse."
General Baiyi, the commander of the Central Cavalry Corps, was so frightened that he almost fainted and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, yes!"
The emperor glanced at him and said calmly: "Go, the troops will go back to the barracks... and then they will do whatever they have to do."
General Bayi walked out of the palace almost without hesitation. When he came out, he was blown by the cold wind. He felt cold all over his body and felt at a loss - the emperor didn't kill me
Privately mobilizing troops to take control of the imperial capital's defenses, and leading troops into the palace... This is a capital crime!
"Your Majesty!" Marquis Caroline's eye muscles trembled twice. Just as he was about to say something, the emperor shook his head with a smile on his face: "Marquis Caroline, what do you want to say..."
He smiled as if he was very relaxed and said slowly: "Do you want to tell me that today was actually a misunderstanding? Do you want to tell me that you led the army into the palace because you were afraid of the queen's rebellion? You are Didn't you want to tell me that while I was sleeping, the queen wanted to establish the crown prince secretly to subvert the empire? Or did you want to tell me that the reason why you did this today was to protect the legitimacy of Bauhinia? Out of loyalty to the empire, loyalty to me?"
After each sentence he finished, Marquis Caroline's face became a little more ugly. After the emperor finished speaking these words in one breath, Marquis Caroline's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he could not utter a word.
The emperor's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing was wrong, he waved his hand and said lazily: "Okay, okay, you see so much sweat on your face, is it hot? This matter was indeed a bit too much, but it has passed. It’s over, let’s go back to our places.”
There was astonishment.
Some people even couldn't help but wonder: "Did the emperor lose his mind after his illness
Miss Nicole almost popped her eyes out: Doesn't the emperor know that the child in the queen's belly is not his
After coughing twice, the emperor glanced at Prince Balang and said loudly: "This matter is in the past, Balang, you can go back... Well, but your prince's palace was destroyed, and you have no place to live for a while... Well, you can live in the royal manor outside the city first." After a pause, the emperor suddenly called out: "Gordon!"
Commander Gordon immediately walked in from outside the side hall and knelt on one knee on the ground.
The emperor smiled: "Gordon, Prince Balang will live in the royal manor outside the city soon... You can take a team of guards to protect the prince. If he lacks something, I will kill you." Head! Do you hear it clearly?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Gordon's eyes, and he immediately responded loudly.
After yawning, the emperor seemed to say casually to Prince Balang: "The imperial capital has not been peaceful these past two days. Sometimes vampires are in chaos, and sometimes there is chaos. Balang, be careful when you go to live in the royal manor. If nothing happens, just Don’t go out. If you have anything, just tell Gordon and he will report it to me.”
Prince Balang trembled, understanding that this was an order to silence himself.
His face was ashen, and he had an idea of fighting to the death, but then he thought that the other party was the emperor, and he was just a prince no matter what, unless it was really a rebellion-but the Central Cavalry Corps might not be willing to follow him.
It turns out that he was able to control the Central Cavalry Corps because everyone thought that the emperor was going to die and that he would naturally be the powerful successor to the throne. Naturally, they turned to him. But now that the emperor is not dead, who dares to really follow him in rebellion
His heart darkened, and then his heart became filled with despair. He could no longer think of anything. He just nodded blankly and followed Gordon out of the side hall.
The emperor sighed: "Oh, my old man... Well, I was just ill and caused such a mess. This Central Cavalry Corps is a bit shameful, Duke Tulip!"
Rody was shaken and looked at the emperor proudly - there was no fear in his eyes, but there seemed to be a hint of anger in his eyes.
He has not forgotten that this emperor originally wanted to steal his woman!
The emperor looked at Rody calmly, with a smile flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile:
"Little... Well, Set, you will be in charge of this Central Cavalry Corps from now on! That Bayi is really useless. It seems that it would be better to replace him with someone else."
silence…
All the noble officials in the hall did not speak, but the expressions on their faces were different - they all heard that the emperor was going to transfer military power. The Tulip family, which had been suppressed, was suddenly entrusted with important tasks. Just hand over the main army of the empire to them at once!
Rody was stunned, a little puzzled. He raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but found that the emperor was blinking at him. He was doubting in his heart, but he heard Tian Lie's secret voice: "Promise quickly." !" Rody couldn't think about it and couldn't help but said: "Yes."
Everyone in the military looked happy, but Marquis Caroline looked ashen and stared blankly at the emperor.
A military general couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, that Bayi, as the commander-in-chief of the Central Cavalry Corps, mobilized troops to control the defense of the imperial capital without your Majesty's orders, and also ordered the city gates to be closed and the palace to be besieged. This crime cannot be tolerated. Don’t pursue it!”
"Ah." The emperor immediately smiled and said: "It makes sense, let's leave this matter to Duke Tulip."
Marquis Caroline couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Duke Tulip was appointed by your Majesty as the special envoy to the south, but he secretly brought his direct troops back to the imperial capital. He is also guilty."
The emperor glanced at him and said calmly: "Oh, really? This matter... I gave him the order to come back, it's nothing."
Marquis Caroline almost fainted - your order? It was you who sent him to the south in the first place! Before you suddenly fainted, I gave you ideas for everything. Why didn't I know the orders you gave me
As soon as he thought of this, he heard the emperor suddenly remembering something and said calmly: "Marquis Caroline, I heard that Milo has done well in the north recently. Please pass on my order and let him return to the imperial capital. North The conditions are difficult, it’s time to find someone else.”
Marquis Caroline trembled, knowing that the emperor was going to seize the military power of his family, he squeezed out a sound from his throat: "Yes!"
After saying all this, the emperor waved his hand, as if to shoo away flies, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, let's all disperse! There has been enough trouble today, everyone should go back!" He glanced at Rody and said, He said calmly: "Site, please stay, I have something else to tell you."
Everyone immediately bowed and saluted, but the emperor looked impatient and kept saying: "Go quickly, go quickly."
Marquis Caroline glanced at Roddy, knowing in his heart that he was completely defeated, gritted his teeth and finally walked out.
In the end, the emperor was the only one left sitting there, with Rody standing below and looking at him coldly. But Miss Nicole felt uneasy. Everyone else had gone out, but she could not move a single step. She leaned close to Roddy. One hand could not help but gently pull the corner of Roddy's clothes. It seemed that her body was still a little weak. Trembling.
The emperor's words just now seemed to have lifted up the Tulip family and dealt with all the Prince Balang's faction, but God knows whether it is a blessing or a curse!
After all, compared with Prince Balang, his side seems to be strictly speaking "treason", right
No matter what, the child in the queen's belly is not the emperor's at all, but his side is preparing to... Alas, no matter what, Prince Barang is always the orthodox bloodline of the Bauhinia family.
But the emperor was almost killed by him before - this account was a mess after all.
Seeing that everyone outside the room was gone, the emperor suddenly walked down from above. His walking posture was extremely weird, like a baby learning to walk. Under the eyelids of Rody and Nicole, he looked like a crab walking sideways. He ran to the door, closed it with his own hands, and listened carefully to the movement outside. Finally he seemed to be relieved, frowned and whispered: "Damn, this body is a bit awkward, it's not as useful as the last one."
Glancing at Roddy and Nicole who were stunned next to him, the emperor frowned and said: "You two little mandarin ducks, why are you looking at me like this? Am I scary?"
Looking at Nicole, who had a horrified expression on her face, the emperor said again: "Look at you, you are so close, and you look reluctant to leave. Are you afraid that others will not see the relationship between you? Have you forgotten that you are now After all, they are still siblings in name only?”
Rody's heart moved, and he always felt that the emperor's tone of voice was very familiar, and suddenly he couldn't help shouting: "Are you Andy?!"
The emperor chuckled: "You just saw it? How stupid... Who else but me, old man, would take care of you like this?"
Looking away at Nicole, Andy's emperor turned into a serious face and said: "What you did this time is too outrageous, it is simply a big mistake! It's so wrong! If I hadn't seen you wholeheartedly helping Queen, the matter is irreversible, I will not pretend to be the emperor to help you end it!"
Rody's face was full of excitement: "You...how did you become like this? You..."
Andy waved his hand and said: "My old man has many abilities, and there are still things you don't know!"
After a pause, Andy's face gradually became serious, and he whispered: "But you all did it wrong this time! You should not do such a thing in partnership with the Queen!"
Rody frowned and said: "I am also very disgusted with this matter. I always feel that it is wrong to do this. But when the situation has developed to this point, we have no choice."
Andy rolled his eyes and said coldly: "Hmph, do you know what you are doing? In the words of ordinary people, it is 'taking other people's wives and taking over other people's property'! How can you do such a thing? That No matter how pitiful the queen is, you can't do this for her!"
Rody's face turned red and he couldn't help but said: "What a **** wife... It wasn't me who did it, it was Seth!"
Nicole stared, really not understanding what the two people meant, and she had never heard of Andy's name.
Andy glanced at Nicole and smiled: "Miss Nicole was a little confused after hearing what we said."
Roddy sighed and briefly told Andy's identity on the spot. Nicole felt excited and a little horrified at the same time. She really didn't expect that Dandong actually left such a... variety...
Unexpectedly, this guy has been living in his home for hundreds of years and has never been discovered. However, he happened to have contact with Rody and helped Roddy with so many things!
Andy sighed and said slowly: "Of course we don't believe in any bullshit gods, but doing this kind of thing is always unreasonable. Think about it, boy, if your wife finds a lover outside, and then has an affair. Having a child but occupying your family property... This kind of thing is not nice to say, right? But you still helped the queen do this... After all, you are an accomplice, right? Even if the emperor is not a thing, it is still a bit awkward to do this... Sigh. "
Nicole hesitated for a moment, frowned and said: "But this matter is always a mess left by Seth. We did it because we had no choice but to do it - besides, the Queen, as a woman, is really pitiful."
"Bah!" Andy glanced at Nicole coldly: "Pity? Poor people must be hateful!"
Andy's expression was a bit stern: "What does it mean to be pitiful? Her end today was all her own fault. Whatever she does, she will get the outcome! Do I still need to say this?"
His eyes gradually became stern: "Just because of her pity, you have to drag the entire empire in? Drag everyone in? Let so many people fall into this vortex? Just because of her pity as a woman, you almost have to drag everyone in?" To start a coup? Let countless people die and bleed for her? "
Nicole argued: "What should we do? The emperor was harmed by Balang, so we can't let Balang inherit the throne, right? Does that make sense?"
Andy glanced at Nicole and said slowly: "So what? Barang seems to be much stronger than this idiot emperor. They are fighting among the Bauhinia family. Who is right and who is wrong? Why should you?" Comment? Is it right for you to let the baby in the queen’s belly be a qualified emperor? Who will manage the empire after the baby takes over
He looked at Roddy coldly: "You will manage it? Okay! Brilliant! Not to mention that you, a kid, are not capable of managing an empire... But as long as you take on this important task, you will be the Duke for the rest of your life. Well, let's wait until there are wrinkles on your face in ten or twenty years, and watch you cry slowly when Miss Nicole marries someone else! What if you let Miss Nicole not marry for twenty years? Are you waiting for your 'brother' to marry her?"
He didn't say anything big, but this last sentence alone made Roddy's face change.
Sighing, Andy said in a deep voice: "Originally, even if this matter is a mess left by that little bastard Seth, it will not be difficult to solve, but your methods are all wrong. If you support Prince Balang, it may not be difficult to solve it." This is the situation today! There was no hatred between the Tulip family and Prince Balang, right? Now you are in the same situation, and it is completely forced by the situation! If you had supported Prince Balang immediately when this matter started, you would have Let him inherit the throne in one fell swoop! That Prince Balan is quite capable and has a tough temper. There is nothing wrong with being an emperor. As for Abbas XI, he is much better. Is it none of your business whether he killed you? Do you have a good relationship with Abbas XI?"
Rody frowned and said, "But that child is always left by Seth... This kind of thing has already involved the Tulip family. What else can we do? There is no choice but to bite the bullet and help the queen!"
Andy gave Roddy a cold look: "Oh? Don't tell me this! Are you helping the Queen for that little bastard named Seth, or for Mr. Qiu?"
Rody was startled, silent for a while, and sighed: "I do it for Mr. Qiu."
Andy said calmly: "That's right. Your biggest weakness is that you are too soft-hearted, so you are always played in the hands of others! The same is true for Seth. In this matter now, you are almost being manipulated. Mr. Qiu is trapped!" He sighed: "Why do you think Mr. Qiu teaches you swordsmanship? Why do you want to help you hide your dragon energy? I tell you, it's because of Mr. Qiu? I understand in my heart that the queen is now helpless, and the only one she can rely on is your Tulip family! Unlike Seth, Seth uses conspiracy to control you, but Mr. Qiu binds you with emotion! "
Rody's expression changed slightly and he said loudly: "No! Mr. Qiu is not who you said!"
Andy sighed: "Maybe Mr. Qiu is not a bad person, he is actually a very pitiful guy... He has great strength, but he ends up like this... But as I said just now, poor people must be hateful! Sometimes, good people hurt others more than bad people!"
Rody just shook his head. Mr. Qiu was a person he respected very much. No matter what, he couldn't accept Andy's statement - maybe this is the difference between Andy and a human being. After all, it is just a skeleton. Many things, The truth may be said so, but human feelings cannot be measured by simple judgments of right and wrong.
After thinking about it, Rody frowned and said, "How do you know so many things? Only me and Nicole know these things. You haven't contacted me these days. How do you know so clearly?"
Andy pointed at Roddy's face and smiled strangely: "As long as you wear this mask, there will be communication between us. It's just that after you turned into the dragon, you and I can't seem to talk. But of course I can still sense what you're seeing, but I can't remind you all the time like before." He smiled strangely: "Originally, I changed my body and prepared to scare you. Jump, I don’t know when you actually took off the mask. At that time, I couldn’t really sense what was going on with you. It wasn’t until you came back from leading the troops in the south a few days ago and put on the mask again that I … Hehe, these things are all in my head. I can’t talk to you, I can’t ask you, why can’t I see it myself?”
Andy's smile became even weirder, and he whispered: "But we haven't contacted you for just a few days, and you have a lot of things on your mind... Well, there seems to be something else... Luo Shang Qing Yang, Si Jun Yi Wu! The sword is ruthless , Miao Ge Wu Meng! Haha, it’s very interesting..."
As soon as these words came out, Roddy immediately looked embarrassed, rushed to Andy's side, and covered his mouth.
Andy broke away from Roddy's hand and smiled: "What's wrong? Just listen to my words, and I won't say anything!"
Nicole's face was blank, and she didn't know what the two of them were thinking, but she was still immersed in shock at the moment, and her reaction was a little slower.
Andy coughed twice and said: "This matter has been fooled. After all, Prince Balang is just a prince. Once I, the emperor, stand up, he can't change the world. What about assassinations? I'm not afraid either. The only thing we have to deal with now is the Marquis Caroline. That old fox is a little troublesome. After all, they still have the Northern Army in their hands, but it doesn't matter. He can't openly rebel. He is smart and should understand. Doing that kind of thing is just asking for death - but you can't prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry... No matter what, let him live freely for two days. When the Northern Army gets it back, I will send him to clean the toilet, haha... "
After saying a few more words, Andy sighed and said: "Okay, that's it for now. The first and most important thing for you now is to quickly take over the Central Cavalry Corps. Although the Thunder God's Whip has fallen. , but there are always more than ten or two hundred thousand people. It is always unsafe if we don’t grasp this power. But with me as the emperor, it is always in our advantage, and we don’t have to worry... The only thing we have to worry about is also It’s those people who are taught by God.”
Andy's face finally showed a solemn expression: "That Pope Corsica VI is not so easy to deal with. Alas, not to mention anything else, that 'divine magic' alone is too much." It's terrifying. Even with Mr. Qiu's strength, he has been wiped out. Not to mention the Pope's ambitions are not small... The divine religion itself is beyond the jurisdiction of the empire. Even if I pretend to be the emperor, I can't bring him down. So... forget it, it's just that God's theory suddenly reappeared in the world, this matter is a bit tricky... He has a strong backer!"
Rody immediately showed a cold look in his eyes and remained silent.
Andy patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "The Pope will naturally have to deal with it. I know what you are thinking, and you can definitely get back the 'Dracula's Spear'."
Rody took a deep breath, with a peaceful smile on his face: "I know, do things one by one, stabilize the situation first, these opponents will not be able to escape even if they are placed there."
Andy had a strange expression on his face, as if he didn't expect Roddy to calm down so quickly.
Roddy glanced at Andy, his eyes showing some warmth, and whispered: "Andy, do you know? These days, I always feel that I am impulsive and reckless, and always feel at a loss when encountering things - I think in the past, although I Not too smart, but I have never been so embarrassed. After thinking about it, I am afraid that it was because you were by my side that I could stay calm when things happened. If you hadn’t taught me everything. I, I wouldn’t be where I am today. When you are by my side, even if you don’t say anything a lot of the time, I always feel like I have a friend by my side that I can rely on and I can calm down when things happen!”
Andy was silent for a while, with a deep smile on his face. He suddenly waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, okay, let's go out! My old man finally became an emperor, and I just want to enjoy the fun of being an emperor." Woolen cloth!"
Roddy smiled and pulled Nicole out.
When Andy was the only one left in the side hall, he sighed and whispered: "Fat man, have you had enough peeping?"
Tian Lie chuckled, and his figure gradually emerged, with a confident look: "When did I peek, I am standing here, but you can't see it!"
He suddenly rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "What do you mean by 'Luo Shang Qing Yang, Si Jun Yi Wu! The sword is ruthless, the song has no dreams!' Why is that boy so confused as soon as you say it? What does it look like?”
Andy glanced at him and said lazily: "What do you, a hundreds-year-old guy, know about this kind of thing!"
