Prime Minister Paul was very hesitant over there, and Leo was also muttering in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Who was going to poison Julian?

Honestly, there are too many people who have the motive to kill Julian these days.

There are too many to count.

At this critical moment of the struggle for the throne, Julian, who is the most powerful and vocal in the limelight, can be said to be the target of everyone, and every royal child with the right to inherit and the supporters of these royal children are eager for Julian to die early and surpass him.

So thinking in terms of motivation is a dead end.

No, you have to think differently.

Julian was poisoned after talking to him, was this intentional or unintentional by the person who poisoned him?

If it was unintentional, then the person who poisoned him simply wanted Julian to die.

But if it's intentional, then the meaning behind it is worth digging into.

In other words, it is very likely that the person who poisoned him not only wanted to poison Julian, but even wanted to take the opportunity to drag Leo into the water.

Not only does this man want Julian to die, he doesn't want Leo to have a good time!

Leo began to feel as if he had grasped a clue.

At this time, Bela, who was standing beside Leo, suddenly had her eyes lit up, and she seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "Leo, where did the two glasses of wine you and the second prince drink come from?" ”

Leo glanced at Bela with some confusion and said, "Of course the waiter brought it - wait, do you think there's something wrong with the waiter?" ”

Bella shook her head and said, "I don't know if there's a problem with the waiter, but since Leo didn't poison the wine, and the second prince can't poison himself himself, then the waiter who serves the wine is another person who has a chance to poison, isn't it?" ”

As the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Bella's words are like a ray of sunshine that suddenly appears in the thick fog, instantly illuminating everything.

Leo and Prime Minister Paul were shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't help but curse themselves in their hearts at the same time, they couldn't even think of such a simple thing.

In fact, it's not that these two people are too stupid, it's just that their minds are not in this direction at all at this time.

"Whoever is the waiter who brought the wine, find him out for me immediately!" Prime Minister Paul immediately gave the order.

The Prime Minister's order was quickly conveyed and implemented, and many of the guards and masters in the palace immediately took action.

After a while, a butler came panting and reported: "Report to the master, all the waiters have checked it, and no one has admitted that he served the cup of poisoned wine for the second prince." But I counted the number of people, and one of the waiters disappeared for no apparent reason. ”

"Missing?" Prime Minister Paul frowned: "Keep looking!" Dig three feet into the ground to find, live to see people, dead to see corpses! ”

The Prime Minister's words came true, and after a while, the butler came again to report: "Master, we found the body of a waiter in the back garden, and, and—"

Prime Minister Paul exclaimed, "What else! What are you talking about! ”

The butler was taken aback by this drink, and hurriedly said, "Also, the waiter's face has turned blue, which looks quite scary." ”

"Blue?" The news was like a boulder thrown into the water, causing an uproar among the crowd.

When the second prince was carried away, everyone could see it clearly, and the face of the second prince at that time was also a strange blue.

Prime Minister Paul glanced at Leo, just as Leo had his eyes on him.

After a moment of silence, Prime Minister Paul spoke: "Your Excellency has misunderstood, Your Excellency Leo will not be the one who poisoned him. ”

As soon as these words came out, Leo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Leo knew very well in his heart that in the current situation, the Prime Minister's statement was the most crucial. If he decides that Leo is the poisoner, then a clash is inevitable tonight.

Of course, Leo was surrounded by the three holy realm powerhouses at the moment, and he was not worried at all that he would fail and fall into the hands of Prime Minister Paul.

But just like Prime Minister Paul, Leo at this moment is also a mouse-thrower, afraid that the conflict here will have a bad impact on the future elector.

The Elector is a game in which almost all the top leaders and nobles of the empire participate, and neither Prime Minister Paul nor Leo can cover the sky with one hand, in such a situation, if you want to win the game with the support of the majority of forces, both sides must abide by the rules of the game.

Thirty years ago, in the bloody war before Charles XVI succeeded to the throne, more than a dozen princes and princesses were killed, and dozens of illustrious families, thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of lives were lost.

So now, neither side wants to repeat the bloody scene of 30 years ago.

Defeat is the same as annihilation, and this price is too heavy for any participant, because no one dares to say that they are supporting the one who has the last laugh.

So now, armed conflict is definitely the biggest taboo among the taboos, and this is true for Prime Minister Paul or Leo.

After hearing Prime Minister Paul say this, the doubts of the onlookers immediately decreased a lot.

After all, everyone present was a human spirit, and the reason why they were making a fuss before was somewhat fanning the flames and wanting to make the two sides fight, but now that Prime Minister Paul and Leo have made it clear that they will not accept the move, it is not interesting to spend more saliva.

Paul arched his hand to the surroundings and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of tonight's dinner." ”

Things have come to this point, the life and death of the second prince Julian is unknown, and the dinner originally held for the second prince to canvass for votes naturally has no point in continuing to be held.

After saying this, it is impossible to enjoy the banquet happily.

So all the nobles also said goodbye to Prime Minister Paul, and they came in good luck and returned in defeat.

Leo let out a long breath and whispered to Bela beside him, "Let's go too." ”

Even Leo himself did not expect that the purpose of the dinner would be achieved in such a rather dramatic way.

Before boarding the carriage and leaving, Leo took one last look at the imposing mansion in front of him, and said silently: "If I find out who guy dares to blame me, he will definitely die!" ”

**************************

Duke's Court of Lien.

The Duke sat in his study, his face still pale, but the light in his eyes was very bright, as bright as the twinkling stars in the sky.

"It's all done?"

In front of Duke Li'an was a figure shrouded in darkness from top to bottom, and when he heard this, he replied respectfully: "Yes, it has been done according to your wishes." ”

Duke Li'an's eyes brightened even more, he looked at the black shadow in front of him, and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Your Excellency is gracious."

"Just ask someone to come and pass on the word next time, you don't have to come in person."

"Yes, sir."

Duke Leanne stared at the man in front of him for a long time before he sighed.

"I'm already old, and when the election meeting is over, you can take command for me and go to the Kingdom of France."

The person in front of Duke Li'an was shocked, and raised his head in disbelief: "My lord, this-"

"It's an order." Duke Lean's words were gentle, but they were incomparably firm and irreversible.

"Yes, sir." The figure gave a standard military salute to Duke Leanne before exiting the room.
