"Save my life?" Emmanuel couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked with a somewhat puzzled frown: "What does this mean?" ”

"I mean," the expression on Cleverley's face became more and more serious, "now cousin, you are obviously in trouble, but you can still sit here and talk to me, which is really admirable." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Catastrophe is coming?" Emmanuel couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said, "My dear cousin, what you said is a bit sensational. ”

That is, considering Cleverley's special status, if someone else came to say something to Emmanuel about saving your life, then His Royal Highness the Great Prince, who had been touched on the moldy head, would have asked him to reward him with a few hundred whips, and then drive him out of the palace.

In fact, Emmanuel's idea is indeed correct, you must know that the father of this great prince is His Majesty the Emperor of the current Spani Empire, and his mother is from the Golden Lion Family, the most powerful pillar of the Spani Empire. With such a prestigious background and shelter, could there be anything else in this world that could threaten his life? So Emmanuel didn't take Cleverley's words to heart at all.

Speaking of which Emmanuel felt more disappointed at the moment, when Cleverley said that he had important things to explain, Emmanuel thought that it was something that could help him, such as some tricks of the second prince Julian, the biggest rival for the throne, but he didn't expect to hear these things from Cleverley's mouth that Emmanuel thought were nonsense.

Cleverley seemed to be mentally prepared for his cousin's reaction, and smiled very confidently when he heard this, and said, "Cousin, do you know that during the hunt the day before yesterday, the second prince and Princess Bella were once assassinated by an inexplicable assassination?" ”

Emmanuel nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of it, but what does that have to do with me?" As much as I wish Julian would have disappeared from this world, I am not stupid enough to send someone to assassinate him at a time when there are so many people like this. ”

Cleverley gave Emmanuel a deep look, as if trying to tell if the Grand Prince was telling the truth.

After a moment, Cleverley suddenly laughed and shook his head slightly: "That's right, cousin, it's a fact that I already know that you are frank and disdainful of engaging in those assassination tricks. But—"

Speaking of this, Cleverley's smile suddenly became a little strange: "What if the second prince doesn't think so?" ”

Emmanuel's face changed slightly, and his tone became a little unkind for the first time: "Dear cousin, what do you mean by that?" ”

Cleverley smiled and reached out to pick up another strawberry from the fruit bowl, and said, "It doesn't matter what I mean, what matters is that if that assassin succeeds, who do you think will benefit the most, cousin?" ”

As a soldier who has been fighting in the barracks all year round, Emanuel, who is accustomed to going straight, is obviously a little tired of Cleverley's crooked way of speaking in the officialdom, and he frowned at the moment, and said impatiently: "There are more people who want to kill him Julian, how do I know who will be after he dies-"

Emmanuel's words suddenly stopped, as he suddenly understood what Cleverley was trying to tell him.

If Julian really died in that assassination, then it is clear that Julian's greatest rival for the throne has rightfully become the biggest beneficiary, and that person is him, Emmanuel himself.

For some reason, a chill suddenly came out of Emmanuel's heart.

"Looks like you've finally figured it out, cousin." Cleverley's lips curled slightly, I don't know if it was because of the somewhat astringent and sour taste of the unripe strawberries in his mouth, or because of Emmanuel's hindsight in front of him: "Since the biggest beneficiary of the death of the second prince has appeared, logically speaking, this person is also the one with the most incentive to send assassins." Dear cousin, am I right? ”

"Bang!" Emmanuel slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "This is slander, **naked slander!" That damn assassin wasn't sent out by me at all, so whoever tries to spread such rumors, I'm not going to let him go! ”

After saying this, Emmanuel glanced at Cleverley, intentionally or unintentionally, and the warning in his eyes was clear at a glance.

But the Great Prince's warning, which may seem heavy to others, had no effect on Cleverley, and the young duke smacked his lips, as if to reminisce about the strawberry that had just flowed down his throat, but what was lost had already been lost, so Cleverley simply reached out to the fruit bowl again, with a relaxed smile on his face, and said:

"Cousin, I think your anger may have been mistargeted. Honestly, as long as this killer is not caught for a day, then there will be a lot of people who will look at you with suspicion, but don't forget that there is a real point in this matter, and that is-"

The third strawberry was thrown into Cleverley's mouth, and the bright red juice of the tender strawberry splashed everywhere in Cleverley's mouth, constantly stimulating the taste buds, so that the little duke couldn't help but exhale a very comfortable long breath, and then said leisurely:

"Who is behind the scenes, my opinion doesn't matter, other people's opinions don't matter, and even the opinions of the second prince himself don't matter, even if these people all regard you as the instigator behind the scenes, what impact does that have on you? So the most important point in this matter is, of course, your Majesty's opinion! ”

Emmanuel was shocked and looked at Cleverley as if he had just woken up from a dream: "What do you mean-"

"I mean it very simply," Cleverley blinked lightly and smiled, "as long as Your Majesty thinks it is, then it has to be if it is not; But if Your Majesty thinks it's not, then it doesn't have to be, cousin, do you say that's the truth. ”

Although it sounded a bit awkward, Emmanuel understood it and nodded in agreement.

In the struggle for power, what is injustice is bullshit, and everything is nothing more than a word that comes out of the mouth of the man who sits on the supreme throne, and even more so for Emmanuel and Julian.

Cleverley continued, "Since it happened during the hunt, the first person to be responsible for protecting the scene was of course a general. And this general happened to have a little friendship with our family, and I happened to meet this general yesterday afternoon, and he told me a very coincidental thing, that the assassin had actually missed a weapon on the scene, and that weapon seemed to be—"

Cleverley's eyes suddenly looked at a shield displayed on a weapon rack in the palace, and he smiled silently.

Emmanuel also set his sights on this shield, which was the shield that Emmanuel used for the first time to kill an enemy, which is why he displayed it so preciously. In addition to the exclusive emblem of Emmanuel engraved on it, this shield is actually a very ordinary military-standard shield...

Wait a minute! A realization suddenly flashed through Emanuel's mind, and he immediately turned his head to look at Cleverley, and there was a slight tremor in his tone: "You mean that the Assassin's weapon has my unique insignia on it?" ”

"That's right." Cleverley's answer sent Emmanuel's heart to rock bottom.

Of course, Emmanuel knew that this was just a frame-up by someone else, but the crux of the matter was that although no one could prove that it was Emanuel who sent someone to carry out the assassination, Emanuel could not prove that the assassin was not sent by him!

If the father really believed that he was the mastermind, Emmanuel's cold sweat suddenly rolled down. Judging from the character of Charles XVI, once His Majesty the Emperor determines that Emmanuel is the mastermind behind the scenes, then the next emperor's throne will always say goodbye to Emmanuel, and even whether Emmanuel can save his life is a big question!

You must know that in the upheaval of Charles XVI thirty years ago, all the princes and the families who supported them were slaughtered! I don't know if it's because of this incident, but although Charles XVI allowed his sons to compete for the throne, he also sternly warned Emmanuel and Julian, asking them not to assassinate each other.

Once Emmanuel is identified as the mastermind behind the dispatch of the Assassins, then it is really against Charles XVI! You must know that His Majesty the Emperor can even kill his own brother, can't his son be killed? If Charles XVI wanted to use Emmanuel's life to make a decision, then Emmanuel would really die!

The more Emanuel thought about it, the more frightened he became, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Cleverley, with a pleading expression on his face: "Cousin, save me!" ”

Cleverley patted Emmanuel on the shoulder and said gently, "Cousin, didn't I already tell you that I came here today to save your life?" ”

Unlike the frightened Emmanuel, Cleverley smiled happily at this moment. If knowing a person's handle can control this person, then Cleverley has undoubtedly firmly controlled the eldest prince's cousin in front of him.

I have to say that this feeling of playing with others in the palm of your hand is really good.

A sly smile suddenly appeared on Cleverley's face.

Who said that the celebration of this drama can only be played by those of the older generation? Who will have the last laugh, we don't know yet!
