Chapter 15: Clearing the Portal

When Lindsay returned to the princess's house, Edith and Dick gathered all the servants in the princess's house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThese servants knelt in the back garden, and for a while, the huge backyard was filled with people. The attendant lifted the chair and placed it in front of everyone, and the men and women kneeling on the ground were pale and trembling slightly. They have all learned that Lindsay has once again been trusted and reused by the Queen, and when Lindsay lost power, they themselves knew very well what it was, and some people here were relieved and looked like they were waiting to see a good show.

A short time later, Lindsay was surrounded by Edith and Dick in the backyard. Lindsay looked at the black pressed group of people kneeling on the ground with a puzzled look, and everyone saw Lindsay begging Lindsay to spare her life in unison. Edith snorted coldly and glanced at the kneeling crowd, then carefully helped Lindsay to the chair and said softly, "Sit down and rest for a while......

When Lindsay sat down, Lindsay asked puzzledly, "Edith, what is this for?" Why are I gathered these domestic servants? ā€

"Help you clear the portal."

"Huh?" Lindsay was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, she understood Edith's intention: "Actually, you don't have to do this...... Human. ā€

"Hmph, I'm not as good at talking as you are." Edith raised his hand, and the butler, who was already standing aside, stepped forward a few steps forward and saluted Lindsay and the others present, and then he picked up a list and named them. The people whose names were called cried louder, and they rushed to Lindsay and hugged her thighs and begged for mercy.

The backyard became even more noisy, and finally, on the verge of collapse, the butler finally finished the name. He looked at Edith and Lindsay and nodded, and Edith stepped forward: "The people who have been named should know what you have said and done during this time. When the eldest princess is in power, you follow her like a dog. The eldest princess lost power, and you forgot your identity as a subordinate one by one, talked nonsense behind your back, and forgot what you should do. Those who gather crowds to gamble, chew tongues, and steal things from the eldest princess's mansion. You all deserve to have your tongues cut out! Broken hands and feet!! ā€

"Lord Duke, spare your life!!" Those who can't stand it have fainted, and those who haven't fainted have softened into a puddle of mud. If you don't want to die and want to have a chance of life, you will slam your head on the ground and bang it.

Edith looked at everything in front of him with disdain, and pouted: "Hmph, Nian has served you in the Eldest Princess's Mansion for so long. The death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and this duke does not want to dirty his hands because of you dog slaves, and the person who comes, supervised by the steward, and the name is called, and the tongue is cut off and the border is allocated. Never return to the imperial capital!! ā€

The surrounding guards received the order, and together with the chief steward, the named servants were dragged away one by one. Edith looked at the rest of the people and nodded, "The rest of you, you guys are doing a good job. Not only have you not been bewitched by these people, but you have done your duty~ These people are living examples, I hope you still serve the eldest princess with all your heart. ā€

"Yes!"

"Lindsay, are you still satisfied?" Edith looked at Lindsay with her forehead and asked softly, Lindsay smiled: "You've already taken care of it, and you're still asking me?" ā€

"It is worthy of the Duke who holds the power of the army, and he is selfless and merciless!" Hovis said sincerely, when Lindsay lost power, he saw what her princess mansion was like, and he had no time to pay attention to these because of Lindsay's physical reasons.

"It's just that Lindsay doesn't care about anything, this kind of person will be a trouble after staying in the princess's mansion!"

"Her Royal Highness the princess's mind is on national affairs, of course, there are no those careful thoughts about the miscellaneous affairs in her princess's mansion." Dick handed Lindsay a glass of water, and Lindsay took it and sniffed it, God knows she's been scared of Hovis's potion for the past few days.

"Don't worry, this glass of water has not been concocted by the Imperial Doctor, drink it quickly!" Dick whispered in Lindsay's ear.

Hovis had sharp eyes, and he had already noticed Dick's small movements. Thinking that the water was already in Lindsay's hand, he had no way to add anything to it, so he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and stopped Lindsay's hand with the other hand: "Since it is ordinary water, then drink the medicinal juice directly~!" ā€

"God......" Lindsay covered her forehead and looked at the smiling man bitterly. She waved her hand to the remaining servants and told them to stand down, and under the old butler's orders, everyone cleaned up the already messy courtyard.

After drinking the potion, Lindsay drank all the water in the quilt. Although it is not as bitter as before, this time there is bitterness in the bitterness: "Hovis, why does your potion have a taste every day, which is either bitter or spicy...... Is it good for you to change careers and go to the palace to be the imperial chef. It just so happens that I'm tired of eating those meals from the imperial kitchen, so you can improve it. ā€

"Let's go in the next life~~ I changed my career, and my grandfather would jump out of the cemetery and beat me in anger. This time, the potion can't be flavored, and if you add something else to it, the effect will be affected, so just bear with it~! ā€

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the Duke has dealt with some of the domestic servants, do you need to replenish manpower now?" The housekeeper who had left hurried back to the backyard and stood beside Lindsay for instructions.

Edith waved his hand: "After a while, I will send people from my Duke's Palace, all of them are my cronies who have followed me for many years, I am very relieved to have them, and I also have some skills." ā€

The butler looked at Edith and then at Lindsay, who leaned back in his chair: "Listen to the duke~" The butler took the order to retreat, and then walked towards them with hurried footsteps, and the person who came was the guard.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the priest asks to see you."

Lindsay sighed helplessly and waved his hand: "Take him to the living room." ā€

"Tired? If you are tired, Duke Ben will take a trip. Edith looked at Lindsay's somewhat tired appearance and felt a little distressed. Lindsay smiled: "It's okay, this princess is not so delicate~ What should you be busy with!" ā€

"I'll go back to my Duke's Palace and transfer people." Edith finished and turned to leave. Hovis walked up to Lindsay and took her wrist: "...... After meeting the priests, let's rest, and don't see guests who are not very important. I'm going to get you some potions and recipes for your body. ā€

When Lindsay heard this, his originally smiling face immediately collapsed: "Hovis, please let go!" Can you not do it, I think I am much better now, and the medicine can be stopped~ And your medicinal diet ......"

"The beauty of thought!" Without waiting for Lindsay to finish, Hovis refused and did not give Lindsay any leeway.

Lindsay looked at Hovis with a persistent expression and secretly complained to herself. Dick, who was waiting on the sidelines, really wanted to laugh when he looked at Lindsay's deflated appearance, and God knows how hard he was holding back.

"The princess's life is hard...... Let's go, Dick...... Go and meet the priests......"

Dick carefully guarded Lindsay's side, quietly following Lindsay. They came all the way to the meeting room, and saw Phil standing guard in the hall from a distance, and when he heard footsteps, Phil hurriedly saluted: "Villain Phil ......"

"Excuse me!" Lindsay waved her hand, and a gentle air stream lifted Phil's body. Phil was stunned and looked at Lindsay in surprise.

"It seems that the Imperial Doctor has taken care of you well, and your strength has recovered a lot in a short period of time." Dick helped Lindsay to sit down in the main seat, took the teacup from the maid, took a silver needle from his bosom and slipped it down the edge of the teacup. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on the silver needle, he handed the teacup to Lindsay with confidence.

Lindsay didn't smile, after this time she escaped death, the people around her were more cautious, and after taking a sip of tea, she looked at Phil: "Why does the priest have time to come to me today?" ā€

Phil hurriedly came back to his senses and said, "This time, Phil came to pray for Her Royal Highness the Princess...... Incidentally...... Let's see you......" After speaking, a flush appeared on Phil's face, and Lindsay put down the teacup to look at Filnath unnaturally.

"It's hard work, Priestess, and I've bothered you to make a trip every time."

"No, it's not hard, it's Phil's blessing to be able to contribute to Loraine's God of War."

"I'm a little tired, Priest wants to start ...... when I want"

"The ritual is already being prepared, if you can, please come to the sacrificial shrine in person at night."

Lindsay nodded: "I know, but it's just a summons and a personal trip......"

Sure enough, Phil's face was even more ruddy, and he quickly got up with some restlessness: "Because this time is more important, so ......"

Lindsay waved her hand helplessly, and she was afraid that she would make a joke if she continued to explain: "I will go directly to the temple in the evening, then, please go and prepare~!" ā€

Phil hurried away as if he had been granted amnesty, and Dick picked up Lindsay and returned to the inner sanctum.

"Let's get some sleep...... I'll wake you up for dinner. Dick carried Lindsay to bed and covered her with a thin quilt. Lindsay lowered Dick's head and dropped a kiss on his lips. Dick tensed and kissed Lindsay's lips with some urgency. From light kisses to deep kisses, lips and tongues intertwined.

Finally, Dick held back his body's desire and let go of Lindsay: "Sleep~"

"It's not good for your health~~" Lindsay laughed, successfully seeing the rosy on Dick's face, Dick sighed helplessly: "Lindsay...... You are not fit right now~"

"Okay~~ I'm really a little tired~~" Lindsay, whose eyelids were a little heavy, couldn't help but fall asleep with a thick sense of sleep, Dick looked at Lindsay's sleeping face and gently stroked her emaciated cheeks: "Do you know what I want from you...... How intense is it...... Go to sleep...... You're so tired......"

Edith returned to the Duke's Palace, and personally selected five smart and clever female officials and five physically strong and diligent handymen to return to the Princess's Mansion: "What about Her Royal Highness?" ā€

"Back to the Duke, Her Royal Highness the Princess is resting. Want to wake up Her Royal Highness? The doorman asked cautiously.

Edith shook his head: "Let her rest~ Tell the housekeeper to go to the backyard~"

After speaking, Edith took ten subordinates to the backyard and waited. The butler didn't let Edith wait long, walked quickly to the backyard, and hurriedly saluted when he saw Edith: "I've seen the Duke." ā€

"Hmm~ These ten people are subordinates who have been with me for many years, and the female officer can rest assured that she can be arranged to be by the princess's side, and the subordinate can be arranged to work in the inner courtyard." Edith said, and then said to the ten subordinates: "From today onwards, serve Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess with your heart." ā€

"Yes, please rest assured, Lord Duke." Everyone said in unison.

"I've handed it over to you~" Edith waved his hand to the butler, who respectfully greeted Edith's luggage, and then began to lecture the ten new subordinates. Seeing the butler's quick entry, Edith hooked the corners of her lips and turned to walk into Lindsay's inner sanctum.

Pushing the door open, Dick sat quietly on the edge of the bed, and saw Edith make a quiet gesture to him.

Edith cautiously walked over to Lindsay's side and looked at her sleeping face.

"How long have you been sleeping?" He asked softly.

"It's been a while~ It seems that she is too tired, she used to sleep very lightly. The slightest movement will wake up...... It's time to wake her up~ It's time for dinner, and Lindsay has to go to the temple in a while. ā€

Edith raised an eyebrow: "Pray for Lindsay?" ā€

Dick nodded: "Phil personally came to inform ......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ It's not too early, tell her to get up~"

Dick nodded, walked over to Lindsay and patted Lindsay's body gently: "Lindsay, get up~"

Lindsay frowned and opened her sleepy eyes: "Dick...... When is it? ā€

"It's dinner time~Hurry up~" Dick helped Lindsay up, and Lindsay looked at Edith, "When did you come over?" ā€

"How did you feel when you first arrived?" Edith put on Lindsay's coat and helped her to sit down at the table, and in due time, Dick handed her a glass of water for her to take a few sips.

"I'm much better after a good night's sleep~"

"Her Royal Highness Princess, dinner is ready~" There was a female official's announcement outside the door, and Lindsay looked at Edith: "Let's come together~"

Edith didn't refuse, he nodded and walked to the dining room with Lindsay and Dick. Hovis was already waiting in the restaurant, busy with his hands and not knowing what he was doing.
