Salyushi Palace.

Something so big has happened, and the ministers are already waiting in the main hall. Governor Yuankang led Prime Minister Forler and several other high-ranking officials to stand

One column. Prince Ressa was followed by Archbishop Herod and several important members of the Holy See, as well as several officials who had recently been drawn to Ressa's side. It is said that Prince Resa is still very politically charismatic, and not long after returning to Salyushi, many officials who have not stood in line have already thrown themselves to Ressa's side.

King Kelman had not yet appeared in the main hall, and all the officials had to wait first. The king was worried about the princess's injuries and waited for news in the princess's bedchamber. After several hours of resuscitation, the princess's injuries were finally stabilized. When Master Pilo came out, his face was completely bloodless, and his white temples were messy, which obviously took a lot of effort, and several royal medical officers were also pale and some of them even staggered to walk. Master Pilo and the best healers of Salyushi spent a few hours trying to save Princess Onian's life.

Before Master Pilo went to rest, he scolded Alvin in front of everyone, because this useless boy had consumed a whole pot of Chunlai Fox Potion, which caused the princess's rescue to be so thrilling.

Kelman was also relieved to hear that the princess's injury had stabilized, and then he cheered up and went to the main hall to deal with the follow-up of this matter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as everyone in the palace saw His Majesty the King coming, they all immediately bowed and saluted, and the two sides had already rehearsed the upcoming words and swords in their minds countless times, and even changed the manuscript again and again, for fear of being caught by the opposite side.

"Ressa, what the hell is going on today, did you instigate the assassination of the princess?" asked Kelman as he sat down, but his tone was not as thunderous as he had been at the Pillow Sword Meeting in the afternoon.

"The old minister is guilty, and the old minister has no way to teach his son, which led to today's big mistake. But the old minister never wanted to harm the princess, and the old minister really didn't know why this rebel suddenly killed the princess. Ressa immediately knelt down, her face terrified.

"Even if you didn't instigate it, you won't be guilty. Kelman looked at Ressa, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "What is the charge of murdering a member of the royal family?"

"Your Majesty, murdering a member of the royal family will be punished as a crime of treason, according to the law... Fowler looked up at the king, then lowered his head, "When the door is full of beheading." ”

"It's all over the place, isn't it? Kelman groaned, "Ressa, tell me what to do about this." ”

Prince Resa buried his head in the ground, not daring to say anything.

"Your Majesty, the prince guards one side, works hard, and is also quite prestigious in Maine, it is rare to return to the court to report on his work, but he was beheaded for the crime of treason, and Maine Province may not be peaceful in the future. Governor Yuankang stood up and said.

"Then according to the Governor's opinion, what should be done?" Kelman naturally understood that Yuan Kang would not let go of the opportunity to attack the Ressa faction.

"According to the old minister, the prince's palace is involved in rebellion, and the matter is serious, so it should be confined first, and the punishment will be made after the case is clarified. The prince's eldest son still has a heavy army in Maine, and it is imperative that he be recalled to the court to avoid revolt. "Yuan Kang is thinking about serving the Resa family in a pot.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has always felt that this matter is quite strange. The matter of punishing the prince's palace should be considered in the long run, after all, the prince has made outstanding achievements in his life, and if he is wronged, won't he fulfill the villain's wish?" Archbishop Herod also stood up, and glanced at Yuan Kang on the side intentionally or unintentionally when he said "villain".

"Archbishop, what you said is unusual, Gaphra Ressa's blatant assassination of the princess, this is a fact in front of everyone's eyes, what is there to justify? Also, who are you referring to this villain?" said Governor Genyasu angrily.

"Okay, let's stop arguing. Kelman's face was not good, "Archbishop, you just talked about the strange, what is the strange, let's hear it." ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister also learned that the second son of the prince looked like crazy during the game, and he was bent on killing, and he didn't look like a normal person at all. It's like... Herod said and glanced at Kelman.

"What is it? The archbishop said it was fine. Kelman asked.

"In this way, either you have lost your mind suddenly, or you have been controlled by some kind of magic potion. Herod said.

Then the palace was silent all of a sudden. Most people are now more concerned about how this matter will turn out, and they don't have time to guess why. After all, most people believe that seeing is believing, and there is no way to clear the name of Gapho's assassination. But the archbishop's point of view inevitably reminded everyone that things may not be so simple.

"The archbishop can rest assured that the players will have a physical examination before the game, and if a player is hit by a potion, it will definitely be able to find out. "Chancellor Fowler breaks the peace. After all, this is within the scope of his work, and he must be the first to stand up and explain.

"That is to say, archbishop, don't favor the children of the prince's family anymore, there are so many deacons present, if someone really gets the potion, they will definitely be able to find out. Governor Yuankang chimed in.

"What if the drugged man was mixed in with the black-clad deacons, or if someone smeared some kind of potion on Gaph's equipment?" retorted Herod.

"Archbishop, you're messing around. Why do you slander my work again and again, Archbishop?" Fowler rebuked.

"No, the old minister just proposed a possibility. This matter involves the reputation of Prince Ressa's mansion, and it is also related to the face of the empire, and the old minister thinks it is better to find out more clearly. After all, there are many people who don't like the prince in this king's eyes. "Herod said quietly.

Kelman interrupted the argument between the two, "Well, what the archbishop said is right, Resa is a prince and a meritorious person, so you really can't make hasty conclusions. ”

"Your Majesty, but... Yuan Kang also wanted to argue a few words, obviously dissatisfied with the results.

"Not so much, but. This matter involves the stability of the empire and must be thoroughly investigated. Archbishop, Fowler, leave this matter to the two of you. First, let the archbishop carefully check whether anyone really used the potion to frame the prince's second son. Second, if the archbishop can't find out why, it means that someone has testified to the innocence of Fowler's men. This time this is a very important matter, I hope that the two of you will supervise each other and find out the real evidence for me. Kelman said loudly.

"Yes, the old minister commanded. "Herod and Fowler both received the command.

"Ressa, you go back first. I have sent the Praetorian Guard to surround your house, and you will not be able to go anywhere until this matter is known. Kelman said coldly.

Ressa, who had been lying on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Thank you for Your Majesty's discerning grace." If it is found out that the rebel son intends to murder the princess this time, the old minister will definitely apologize for his crime. ”

After sending these important ministers away, Kelman thought that there was something to ask Master Pilo.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

It was already nightfall when Kelman arrived in a secluded courtyard of the palace. He noticed that the lights in the room had not been extinguished, and it was clear that Master Pilo was waiting for him. When he pushed the door open and entered, he found Pillo squinting and napping in the chaise longue.

"You're here?" Master Pilo didn't bother to raise his eyelids, obviously it took a lot of physical strength to treat the princess today, and he hadn't recovered yet.

Kelman snorted and sat down in a rattan chair with cushions.

"What happened to Ressa?" asked Pyrlor.

"Not much. Let's put it home and watch it first. "However, I feel that this time there is something else going on. ”

"That's why I told you why I didn't want the little girl to go back to Salyushi. A lot of times you can't do anything about these intrigues. Pillo said with a sigh.

"She has royal blood in her veins, and she can't hide in Gransburg for the rest of her life to learn magic. Kelman said disapprerovingly.

Pilo waved his hand, obviously not wanting to continue the discussion on this topic, "You guessed it right this time, maybe Ressa is also a victim." ”

"Just now in the temple, Herod said that the boy from the Ressa family may have been given a potion, what do you think?" Kelman looked up at Pyroh.

"At that time, you also saw that the little guy in the Ressa family didn't want his own life, unless he and the little girl had some deep hatred, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, right?"

"Yes, Ressa had no incentive to do so. Kelman frowned, "But Fowler said he didn't check for signs of potion before he came on the field. ”

"It's hard to say. First of all, Fowler was originally from Kang Yuan's gang, and his words may not be credible. Besides, some things like potions will attack after a while, so it's not unusual that you can't find out before you play. There are also some potions that are colorless and odorless, and even I can be deceived. Pillo said.

"And this potion?" said Kellmanch.

"There are three or five of them that I know. Pilo said, "However, when it comes to potions, I don't think I can gain much from starting with the Pillow Sword Society." I can write you a few magic ingredients, and you can send someone to check them out and see if there are any purchases in the city recently. ”

Kelman nodded, and then asked, "If we can't find any evidence, what should we do?

"Resa has always had her own thoughts, and there's nothing wrong with cutting it off. You're worried about his eldest son who stayed in Maine, right?" Peelo turned to look at Kelman.

"Just now in the hall, Ressa's kneeling for half a day was just a handful of snot and tears, and I don't think he used Saliusi as a cage at all. Kelman said lightly, "If you really want to deal with the Ressa, you have to uproot them." Otherwise, the province of Maine will no longer belong to the territory of the empire. ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. I also inquired about his eldest son, and the scheming power is not under his father, so don't expect him to fall back into the net. Saliushi's news can't be hidden, and it will reach Maine in a few days, and the other side must know in their hearts that only by staying in Maine will you be afraid. Pillo said.

Kelman couldn't help but ponder when he heard this.

"Although there is no evidence now, my old man thinks that Ressa should be innocent. You should think more about the purpose behind the person who framed Ressa. Pyrrhodix nodded.

Kelman hesitated for a moment and then quipped, "You say that people are innocent now, when you played a few spells in a row, and almost corrected that kid from the Ressa family on the spot." ”

"I've been such a serious student in my life. Pilo sighed, "You don't feel sorry for this little girl, I have to feel sorry for it." Fortunately, this time, my old man still has so much energy, and if I am a few years older, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the sky. ”

Kelman's face was stunned, and he got up and bowed: "This time it's thanks to the master." ”

Pillo glanced at Kelman, continued to squint and began to snooze, sighing "I'm tired... ”

Kelman retreated from the room in amusement.
