This was the first meal Wen Li had outside the palace after arriving in King K City. I have to say that the chef at the Royal Hotel really had no choice.
Shi Yi ate for a long time and remembered what happened at Hatas's birthday banquet.
"BOSS, what happened at the birthday banquet?"
How did Wen Li deal with it later
"It's a trivial matter. It's just an idiot who wants to use other means. Don't pay too much attention to it." Wen Li said without hesitation.
Nangongye held the wine glass and suddenly remembered something, "Do you still remember the attack on you in the imperial capital?"
Wen Li stopped cutting the steak with his fork, but Su Jingjing asked, "Which time are you talking about?"
"That time at Fu Family Royal Hotel." Nangong Ye followed.
Wen Li remembered that time at the Royal Hotel, where Xi Moqian and Li Li were both there.
"The mercenary organization that accepted the commission from members of the K country this time is the mastermind behind that attack on you."
Su Jingjing thought of that experience and originally thought that someone was targeting Xi Moqian and Li Li.
The other party's purpose was to take Li Li away. Later, the leader was captured and taken away by Fu Yuheng's people. Fu Yuxiu then brought him directly from Fu's house to Wen Li.
"After all, the situation this time is somewhat special, so most organizations would not choose to accept this commission, but they accepted it and got here as quickly as possible."
Su Jingjing chuckled after hearing such words, "The situation is so chaotic now. They really want money rather than their lives. It's not like there are no examples of general mercenaries being hired to fight among factions in various countries. It's just that the intercontinental situation is different now. All It’s not like people don’t know the role K country plays in the current intercontinental war.”
Especially in the past few days, the general marshal of the Intercontinental Alliance and the leaders of the three major organizations have been invited to the Royal City for talks. Now the entire Royal City is under martial law.
Therefore, most organizations will choose to avoid the land of K country at this time. If they easily launch an attack here, if it fails, it will not only offend the entire K country.
Or maybe the entire Intercontinental League.
Wen Li suddenly thought of what the man said during the interrogation in the imperial capital.
Now she suddenly understood, and now she had the answer to what she hadn't figured out at the time.
"The person has now reached a place four hundred kilometers away from the royal city. Our people have maintained full surveillance. Of course, the other party has also sent an advance report."
Although each organization is in a competitive relationship at the same time, Evans is now the industry leader, Nangong Ye is in the royal city, and the people at Teng She know the rules very well and have sent their whereabouts reports in advance.
I was also afraid that I might bump into Evans and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"So, this time Teng She is most likely commissioned by Ni Chang?" Su Jingjing guessed.
"It is possible, but there is one thing. If Ni Chang wants to succeed to the throne legitimately, using the strength of mercenaries will undoubtedly leave a mark of shame in future history." Nangongye said.
Wen Li was amused by this sentence. How could a person who did not achieve his goal use any means, even planned to mutiny and usurp the throne, and did not hesitate to take advantage of Yingran, feel any sense of shame
"History is written by the victors, but as a collateral lineage, even if he succeeds in taking the throne, he will inevitably be criticized by those who come after him. If he wants to take this position, he has to pay accordingly." Su Jing Jing replied not surprised.
Wen Li lowered his head and tapped his fingers on the table. Tomorrow the leaders of the three major organizations and Quan Yanling will leave the royal city.
Calculating this, if there is really going to be unrest, the best time is tomorrow night.
"Princess Jiatong and Princess Yingran are missing. I'm afraid the palace is in chaos now. I heard that Prince Hebrew and Princess Jiatong are in a very good relationship. Let's mess with people's minds first." Shi Yi said. .
Wen Li had just cut the steak when a shadow suddenly fell over her head, wrapping her whole body.
She raised her head and saw the man's face in the glare of the backlight.
"Is it delicious?" Fu Yuxiu pulled out a chair and sat down next to her.
The sudden appearance of the man changed the atmosphere of the entire table. Shi Yi gently glanced at Nangong Ye who was sitting opposite.
Their boss has already been married to this man, so the family members like them have to be tough no matter what.
But in their eyes, the most stubborn person is the commander. Every time they meet, the commander has nothing good to say to Fu Yuxiu.
The two of them glanced at each other and didn't speak to each other, but there was an undercurrent surging, and those watching always felt inexplicably nervous.
"It's okay." Wen Li replied.
The man smiled, took the napkin on the side with his slender fingers, and gently wiped the corners of her mouth.
"I thought you were eating it secretly behind your husband's back. This should taste the best."
With such a cold word, Shi Yi suddenly felt like a cold wind was blowing behind him, and his whole back was filled with a chill.
Wen Li raised his eyebrows, why did he feel that there was something in his words
"We are full too, please take your time." Nangongye stood up and placed the napkin on his lap on the table gracefully.
"Mr. Nangong, you are full." Fu Yuxiu raised his eyes and glanced at the man opposite.
"Mr. Fu is late. We have almost finished talking. Please help yourself." Nangongye stood up with others.
Su Jingjing took a bite of the white truffle and couldn't help but laugh.
These two men know the best between them. Since they can't stand each other, there is no need to sit together and cause trouble for each other.
Lu Min and Xia Chen found a small table outside. Lu Min blinked as he looked at the group of people walking out.
"Does your commander like Madam?"
Xia Chen was busy drinking the soup and replied without raising his head, "Even a blind man can see it."
When he first met his boss on the battlefield in S Continent, the person next to him was the commander.
They have been partners through life and death for many years. It is normal for men and women to have such feelings.
After all, good people must be attracted to each other.
"Oh." Lu Min turned to look at Nangong Ye who was leaving. No wonder Nangong Ye's face looked hard every time he met the master.
It's clear that he doesn't like them being in charge.
"Do you want to eat something?" Wen Li pushed the plate towards the man, "This steak is not bad."
"I didn't come here to see your husband first. Instead, I started having lunch here." Fu Yuxiu looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"There is a reason." Wen Li said and continued to eat, "I was sent out by people from the palace."
"Ni Chang took action." Fu Yuxiu affirmed.
"Not only did they take action, but they also invited mercenaries to come over. Now Jiatong and Yingran are in their hands. Unless Hebrew has a solution, it will really be choked this time." Su Jing Jing said something.
The couple turned to look at her at the same time, their movements and eyes were uniform.
Su Jingjing swallowed the last bite of salad and stood up quickly, "I'm full, I'm leaving first, please take your time."
Why did she feel that the two of them were becoming more and more similar, especially the way they raised their eyebrows and that kind of disdainful indifference, they were really alike.
The table, which had been full just now, was the only one left in a few minutes.
"They seem to be quite afraid of you." Wen Li raised his hand and poked his arm.
Wen Li thought for a moment and took back the words he said he didn't like.
Fu Yuxiu held her hand and quickly lifted her onto his lap and sat down, "Are you full?"
"Not even close." The man took the tableware from her hand naturally and started feeding her, "So Hatas sent you out."
Even if Hatas didn't send the people here personally, he would have sent them back under his instructions.
"Why do you know that?" Wen Li looked sideways.
Fu Yuxiu brought the cut steak to her mouth, "Hatas asked Quan Yanling who your husband is."
"My husband?" Wen Li chewed the beef in his mouth, "What did Quan Yanling say?"
"No." Fu Yuxiu fed her some vegetables.
So, Hatas asked Quan Yanling who her husband was.
"He was worried about your safety, so he sent you out before the expected crisis." Fu Yuxiu said and rubbed Wen Li's head.
He will not have any other feelings for strangers. Even if the other person is Wen Li's relative, in his eyes, only those who care about this girl are qualified to call him relatives.
"Would you like to eat some too." Wen Li took the fork and fed it.
"I just remembered that you still have a husband." The man raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a half-smile.
Wen Li said very righteously, "We have agreed before that we will come to see you once every two days. Today is an extra gift. Why don't you kneel down to greet me."
Seeing the little girl's beaming expression, the man leaned over with a smile in his eyes and gently bit her thin white earlobe.
"Don't worry, I will definitely kneel down willingly...but not here."
After understanding what he meant, the little girl pinched the tip of his ear with her red fingers, "You are really getting more and more shameless."
"Only for you."
The man smiled and stood up with his arms in his arms, "My husband will take you to see the stars."
"It's not dark yet so let's look at the stars."
"It'll be out soon..."
…
At night, there is peace in the dark and silent mountains. The evening wind blows the leaves and makes a rustling sound, which is a bit scary in the dark and silent mountains.
The originally silent and dark mountains suddenly lit up with flashlight lights, walking up the winding mountain road step by step.
Country K is a typical island country. The mountains here are not very high, and it is a typical plain area.
This is a mountain 170 kilometers away from the royal city. Few people visit it. In the early years, this was a typical burial country.
Countless coffins are buried in the mountains every year. In recent years, cremation has begun, and people scatter ashes into the sea. Gradually, few people bury coffins.
According to incomplete statistics, there are hundreds of large and small graves in this mountain. They are modern mass graves and unmanaged cemeteries.
Therefore, there is always a spooky atmosphere here after nightfall, and people living nearby will never wander here at night.
The nearest family living at the foot of the mountain looked up and saw a series of interlaced lights on the mountain.
"Old man, come and see what's on the mountain!!"
The old man who was sorting the fishing nets walked up to the old lady. After seeing the light on the mountain clearly, he threw away the things in his hands and hurriedly dragged the old lady back to the house.
The door was locked from the inside and the lights quickly went out.
There are people in black holding flashlights all over the mountain, looking in front of tombstones. Half of these tombs have no one to worship. They are old, and most of the discolored stone monuments are entangled with many green vines.
People were searching along the writings in front of each tombstone, and finally someone in the distance called out.
"found it!!"
Prince Pei, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, raised his eyes and was guided by the lights to the person who made the cry.
In front of him was a tombstone that had been entangled with vines because of the passage of time.
The words engraved on the tombstone are now indistinguishable.
"Your Highness, come and take a look."
Prince Pei took a step forward, took the handkerchief handed to him by his fingers, and wiped away the cobwebs and dust on the tombstone.
Only two words of the name were engraved on it, Lejia.
"right here."
The men looked around, and there were withered bouquets of flowers placed in front of the tombstone.
"Someone must have come to pay homage to me some time ago. This flower came not long ago."
Princess Lejia had many pursuers back then. Even if she died and was thrown here, there would still be people who remembered her and would come to worship her.
"Do it."
Following Prince Pei's order, the men with tools began to dig and open the grave quickly.
In just half an hour, the tomb that had been deposited for many years was opened, revealing a black coffin.
"Your Highness?" Everyone put their hands on the coffin and did not dare to move.
Is it really going to open
Prince Pei closed his eyes facing the direction of the coffin, bent down and bowed, showing respect for the deceased.
"Open the coffin."
The black coffin was opened, and the corpse inside had turned into white bones after years of decay.
The people around him quickly shook off the plastic bag and carefully picked the hair around the skull and put it inside.
"Your Highness, the DNA test report has come out, and it shows that there is indeed a parent-child relationship between the two samples, and they are an ancestor-grandson relationship."
Prince Pei's expected answer, but this alone is not enough to prove anything.
"Are you suspecting that Wen Li belongs to Princess Lejia?"
He didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, it was simply too far-fetched.
Princess Lejia died at the age of eighteen, so Wen Li's age doesn't match up.
"Is it possible that she is Princess Jiatong's daughter?"
This is the only possibility.
"If we take the sample lying here and investigate it, it will become clear."
Prince Pei's heart is getting heavier and heavier. Now there is only one reasonable suspicion that Wen Li is Le Jia's daughter.
Le Jia was not dead at the time. If the bones in the coffin were not Le Jia's, it would confirm his suspicion.
So what should we do
