Chapter 29: Suspicion
The melodious sound of the flute sounded, accompanied by the sound of the piano, played a gripping tune, beautiful and sad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info evokes the thoughts of people in the past, which is a kind of expectation, for relatives, for hometown...... In the courtyard of the eldest princess's mansion, Lindsay and Isel played this song of nostalgia together. Sitting around them sat Edith, Dick, and Phil, who had come to pray for Lindsay, and Hovis who had treated Lindsay, listening. It was a rare opportunity for everyone to gather together in the princess's mansion, and the female officials and guards stopped to look at the picturesque scene in the center of the courtyard.
The sound reached beyond the wall, the hawkers stopped shouting, and the pedestrians stopped, and together they listened quietly to the music from the other side of the wall. Two lines of tears poured out......
Hovis looked at Lindsay who was playing the piano, and had always heard that Lindsay played a good piano, and the rumors were true. A hint of pain flashed in his eyes, and in the eyes of others, he thought that he was aroused by the music. In fact, he was looking at Lindsay and distressed by her situation. Her body was emaciated and her face was pale. Hovis knew better that Lindsay was stiffening, and she didn't want people to know that she was in a bad position. If it spreads, the Loran Empire will be in crisis.
At the end of the song, everyone applauded the performance of the two. Phil looked after: "This time I came to the princess's mansion villain is really rewarding......"
"The sacrifice is kind......
Isel pinned the flute to his waist and poured a full glass of wine for everyone: "Isel is fortunate to be able to play with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I was the only one who couldn't find a soulmate before." ”
Lindsay laughed and took a sip of the glass Issel had handed her, and Dick, who was beside her, heard movement behind her and left the table. After a while, he returned to his seat with a sad face: "What's the matter?" ”
Dick looked at the people around him and didn't know whether to speak, Lin Track: "Say it." Everyone here is trusted by her, and although Phil has not known each other for a long time, there is no impurity in his clear eyes. Such a clear and pure person will not have a bad heart.
"It was rumored in the palace that the prince was immoral and was confined by Her Majesty the Queen in the prince's palace, and he was not allowed to go out, let alone visit."
"What!?" Everyone present was amazed, the prince is approachable, loyal to the queen, and always cares about the overall situation. How can there be negligence?!
A muffled thud interrupted everyone's astonishment, and Lindsay fainted in Dick's arms......
A few weeks later, the good news reached the imperial capital. The second princess Modi returned triumphantly, and this time the spoils were extremely considerable, not only emptied the treasury of the Ralun Kingdom, but also the members of the Raolun royal family were arrested and turned into prisoners. The queen was overjoyed and personally greeted Modi's army. Lindsey was not involved because she was unwell.
Just as everyone was holding a celebratory banquet for Modi, the princess's mansion welcomed an unexpected guest.
"Otis?"
Seeing this unexpected visitor, Lindsay already had a bottom in her heart. After ordering the female official to serve tea, Lindsay did not beat around the bush: "Say, what is the request?" ”
Otis pursed his lips and took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Lindsay: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I think you already know. Rakulun was defeated, and members of the royal family were arrested. I don't expect to be able to ask everyone, but, my mother...... Please save my mother. ”
Lindsay and Dick glanced at each other, and then looked at Audis Lindsay, who was kneeling for a long time, and sighed deeply: "It's not that I don't help you, it's my sister Modi who is going on this expedition." I ask you not to come and beg me, if I open my mouth, I will be robbing Modi of the spoils. It's not a nice word, but it's true. ”
"I know, but I'm a prisoner after all. I am also from Raolun, and if I go to ask Princess Modi, not only will no one be able to save me, but I may even lose my own life. It doesn't matter if I die, but I don't want my mother to be killed. I can only come to beg you, only you can save my mother! ”
Regardless of his identity, Otis kept kowtowing and pleading. A muffled sound, this filial piety touched Lindsay: "Okay, Otis." Get up, I can make this trip for you. However, there is no guarantee that it will succeed. It's a sensitive period, and you don't have to go back to the palace. Dick, arrange a room for him, and let the Shadow Guard fetch the three female officials in the palace from me. Otis should get used to their care~"
"Yes! Rest assured. Dick was not at ease with Lindsay, and looked at her pale cheeks worriedly.
Lindsey smiled bitterly: "I'm not so delicate, okay, I'll go to the palace now." Otis, what's your mother's name? ”
Otis was pleasantly surprised: "Niya! Thank you, Eldest Princess, for your success. ”
In the banquet hall of the palace, there were bursts of laughter. The musicians played, the singers sang, and the dancers twisted their waists proudly. All the ministers present were attracted by these performers, and Lindsay came to the center of the banquet hall and looked a little stunned in the hall, and Modi was sitting in her seat. She was talking to the ministers with a proud face, and Miya sat next to Rodia, leaning her whole body into Rodia's arms affectionately, with a proud face.
The informant saw Lindsay and hurriedly saluted: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, please!" Then he exclaimed, "Princess Lindsay has arrived." ”
The noise fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Lindsay at the door. Rodia looked at her with a frown: "Isn't it unwell?" To greet Modi's triumph did not attend, this banquet came to run! ”
Rodia's words made the ministers whisper, and Lindsay stared at them. They were still very afraid of Lindsay's majesty, and immediately stopped talking to each other, and did not dare to say a word.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is indeed unwell." Edith lays out Rodia's attitude towards Lindsay and speaks for Lindsay.
"Hmph, why didn't this king see it!? The wounds have healed and have been confirmed by the imperial doctor. ”
"Alright, don't say anything." After Lindsay glanced at Edith, she knelt in front of Rodia: "I came this time because I wanted someone. ”
"Who?"
"Rakulun Nation."
Rodia slapped the table hard: "Bold!!" It was Modi who captured Raolun, and he actually came to ask for Modi's spoils!! For whom?! Your palace Otis?! Lindsay, when did you start to be so fond of men!! It seems that the rumors are true, you will only lead to defeat if you bring a male pet to the battlefield, you have disappointed this king too much!! ”
"Her Majesty's anger is at ease!" Modi hurriedly persuaded: "If Sister Wang wants it, I'll give it to her." Isn't it just a person, as long as he is not a major member of the royal family, he is not enough to threaten us. I'll give it to Sister Wang! Don't be angry! ”
"Hmph, since Modi agreed, this king can't say anything. Lindsay, people you can take away, but you'd better review your actions. Rain on someone's parade! Meeting!!! Rodia glared at Lindsay fiercely, then angrily hugged Mia and left the banquet hall.
Several generals behind Edith were furious, and several times they were about to have a seizure and were stopped by Edith. Modi walked down and helped Lindsay up: "Sister Wang, don't care. I'll ask my subordinates to bring someone out now, and ask Sister Wang to be here later. Okay, the banquet is over, let's all disperse. With a wave of Modi's hand, the ministers and performers left the banquet hall in an orderly manner.
"I'm tired too, Sister Wang, I'll wait here, I'll go back to the house to rest." With that, Modi also left.
Lindsay's body shook and she was about to fall. Thanks to Edith, who was not far from her, she pulled Lindsay out in time: "Are you okay?!" ”
Lindsay shook her head: "It's okay, let me sit for a while." Several generals and Edith sat around Lindsay, all dissatisfied with Rodia: "Listening to the wind is rain!" Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has paid so much for Luo Lan, and a few gossips have denied everything for Her Royal Highness the princess!! ”
"Don't say it, if the Duke hadn't stopped me just now, I would have scolded a long time ago!"
"We're all coarse, but we're all honest. Her Majesty, why is this all of a sudden! ”
Lindsay waved his hand: "Generals, don't talk about it." Whatever I do for Loraine, it is the right thing to do, it is my duty, and it is also my duty. Drinking the water handed by Edith, she felt much better: "Don't complain about the queen, don't say these disrespectful words." The wall has ears, and it is not good for you to pass it to the queen. No matter what the Queen says to me, I have nothing to say. I am worthy of everything I have done for Loraine. That's enough. In its current form, several generals, Edith. Don't have too much contact with me, or you'll be implicated. ”
"What words!! We have been fighting together on the battlefield for so many years, we are brothers and friends!! What do you do to us, how do you do to all the soldiers!! How to deal with the subjects, everyone knows!! Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, if you have a good relationship, Lao Tzu will lose his head!! ”
"Generals, the princess is not worried about one of them." Edith understood what Lindsay was thinking: "Now Her Majesty is bent on believing that Lindsay's defeat was due to her lust for men, and after this time she has asked Modi for someone, she is even more dissatisfied with her." In this case, what happened to Lindsay or our frequent contact would make the queen suspicious. The princess meant to keep you waiting, and when everything was calm down, and when Her Majesty was deflated, everything would be the same again. ”
"Hey, we are a few big and rough people, we can't think about so many things, we just focus on leading troops to fight. If so, then we brothers will do as you say. ”
"But, Your Highness Princess, what's wrong with you?! Why did you get sick like this!? ”
"Since Lindsay came back from the campaign, although the trauma has healed, his health has been getting worse and worse. Hovis prescribed a lot of tonic for Lindsay, but it didn't work, she didn't let Sheng Zhang, the palace people were watching, and the allies were watching...... The enemy country is watching ......"
"Your Royal Highness, you think so much about Loraine. If the Queen has been treating you like this, then she is really!! ......" Lindsay hurriedly put his index finger on his lips and made a silent gesture, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and two soldiers escorted a beautiful woman to Lindsay: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Lord Duke, Lord General." Your Royal Highness, the person you want has brought her. ”
"Well, stand down. Edith, you take a few generals and go first! Don't worry about me. Sending everyone away, Lindsay looked at the woman with a depressed face and trembling all over her body and asked, "Nia?" ”
"Yes, yes...... Met Her Royal Highness the Princess. Nia hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Otis is your son?"
Nia looked at Lindsay in surprise and nodded: "He is now in my princess's mansion, and you have to thank him~ for saving you from death!" Let's go. ”
Lindsay endured the discomfort and took Nia out of the palace, and did not dare to stay for a moment and returned directly to the princess's mansion. Otis was pleasantly surprised to see his mother return safe and sound. Crying with Nia, Lindsay fainted again in Dick's arms on her way back to her inner house.
