Chapter 1: Losing Ground
The wind blew softly, and there was a sound in my ears. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun of the pavilion are far away from the hustle and bustle of the day, and everything falls into silence. Is the bellworm playing a beautiful sound, with the cluster sound, the sound is so harmonious and collaborative.
Listening to Lindsay's slight breathing, Edith couldn't sleep for a long time. He didn't dare to sleep, for fear that he would wake up and find ...... The woman was found to be breathless......
Edith sat up from the couch and went to Lindsay's bedside to watch her sleep. The mind was full of bits and pieces of the two together, and at this moment, a sound came from outside the door that startled Edith. Without hesitation, he stepped onto Lindsay's bed.
"Edith?" Lindsay sensed something strange and quickly opened her eyes, and saw Edith getting into her bed and was about to have a seizure of shame, and Edith hurriedly made a gesture to silence her. Lindsay knew something was wrong.
Edith hid in the corner of the bed, and Lindsay closed her eyes, pretending to be still asleep. Sure enough, the door to Lindsay's room was carefully pushed open. The sound was very small, but in the dead of night, it was so clear.
A dark shadow sneaked into Lindsay's room with bated breath, and he lifted the bed tent and looked at Lindsay's face. After determining that she was his target, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed Lindsay in the heart. There was a soft click, and the people were shocked to find that the dagger did not pierce Lindsay's heart, but a sword blocked in the air.
Lindsay opened her eyes and swept across her pillow with her saber towards the Assassin. The assassin was startled again, and dodged with a low curse. Edith jumped out of bed and chased after him, and there was a sound of metal clashing in the courtyard, and before long, the whole princess's mansion was noisy. The female officers and guards were all alarmed by the noise, and Lindsay struggled to get up from the bed, put on a coat for herself, and walked out of the room. At this time, Edith was no longer alone, and Dick didn't know when he arrived. Join forces with Edith to fight off the Assassins......
The assassin was defeated and fled over the wall, Edith put away his sword and shouted to the guards who rushed over: "What's the use of raising you waste, if I don't stay here, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess won't be poisoned!" Chase it, whether it's life or death! ”
"Yes, yes!!" Several teams of guards quickly ran out of the princess's mansion to search for the Assassins.
"What are you doing with such a big tantrum? The Assassin's skills show that he is not an idle person. Even if they found the Assassin's traces, they would not be his opponents. Dick returned to Lindsay's side and picked her up, holding Lindsay's crumbling body tightly in his arms.
"What do you think is nothing? What's the use of raising this bunch of waste in your princess's mansion, you can't even stop an assassin!! What if you want to have a three-long and two-short? What do you want us to do?!! Edith involuntarily raised his voice, his voice trembling, he was afraid...... Lindsay and Dick were yelled at by Edith and didn't know how to take it, so they could only helplessly hook the corners of their lips: "Dick, you protect Lindsay." I'm going to catch the assassins with this bunch of useless waste!! Don't put Lindsay in danger, protect her! ”
Before Dick could respond, Edith had already walked away. Dick carried Lindsay back to the bedroom: "If it weren't for the danger you were in, I would have stabbed that assassin." ”
"Alright, Dick. Didn't you protect me well, don't blame yourself. I am tired...... Dick, stay with me......" Seeing Dick nod, Lindsay fell asleep with a smile.
When Lindsay woke up from her sleep, it was already the evening of the next day. She was woken up by a shout of rage, and her eyes opened faintly, and in her room stood the royal physician Hovis, the priest Phil, Dick, Edith, and Isel, who had been taking care of Lindsay. Their faces were ugly, and Edith slammed the table to vent his anger and frustration.
"Edith, why are you so angry!?" Lindsay struggled to prop herself up, and Dick hurriedly walked to Lindsay's side to support her.
"Did you wake you up? I'm sorry......" Edith took a few deep breaths, walked over to Lindsay, picked her up, and led her to the inner hall to sit down.
After washing up, Lindsay asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Edith sighed deeply: "At today's meeting, I informed Her Majesty of the news of your assassination. Results ......"
"She thinks I'm directing and acting, right?" Lindsay took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and from the surprised expressions of everyone, she could see that she had guessed correctly: "What are your expressions?" As you can imagine, it is not difficult to imagine the extent of Her Majesty's current dissatisfaction with me and the assassination of Modi. Lindsay looked at the crowd: "I advise you not to run towards me as much as possible, my situation is not optimistic right now." An out-of-power princess who can't do anything for you! ”
"What are you talking about, we think that you have given so much to Lorain, and in the end it is too unworthy to be treated like this." Phil retorted excitedly, the eldest princess is a god-like existence. It has always been, no matter what she will do, the status will not change.
Lindsay smiled: "Everything I did for Loren is what it should be, it is my duty. Now I don't know how long I can live, maybe I've killed countless people, God will punish me. ”
Ethel stepped forward and hugged Lindsay's arm: "I will never leave you!" It was you who gave me hope, a yearning for life. You gave me a second life! Please don't drive me away. ”
"If you don't leave, you may lose your life, so don't you be afraid?" Lindsay stared straight at Isel's tearful face and asked, and Isel nodded, "Don't be afraid." ”
"We're all the same, because we know who's right." Hovis crossed his arms and looked indifferent: "What's more, I'm the imperial doctor." ”
"Report! Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Queen's handwritten message has arrived. "There was a rumor outside the door. Several people in the room looked at each other, not understanding what the queen's message meant at this time. Lindsay replied, "Please." ”
The man in a fancy costume walked into Lindsay's bedroom without hurry, and when he saw Lindsay, he was stunned at first. Then, he saluted Lindsay and everyone in the room, "The minister Su Lante has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and several adults. ”
"Surant, don't be polite." This person is a red man under the Queen. Flattery, deep queen please.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, the princess, the minister brought the queen's edict." Surant opened the edict printed with the royal seal and read it aloud: "Princess Lindsay, deeply trusted by the king, entrusted with a heavy task, sent troops to fight against Bolt, but because of greed and beauty, she brought male pets into the barracks and had fun, resulting in the tragic death of more than half of the soldiers, Loraine lost face, and the amount of compensation was huge. Another investigation, the eldest princess robbed the spoils of the royal sister's war, did not know how to keep herself, but slaughtered her own sister, deceived the king, betrayed the trust of the king, and today is more suspected of supporting the army and self-respect, hereby take back the military power in Lindsay's hands, deprive all official positions, detain and introspect in the eldest princess's mansion, and no one should evacuate as soon as possible, if not, they will be imprisoned in the mansion and not allowed to go out. ”
"What!?" Everyone exclaimed, they really couldn't imagine that this was the handwritten edict of that Ming Jun.
"Impossible, Her Majesty must have misunderstood! I'm going to see the Queen. Edith hurriedly stood up and planned to go to the palace to inquire about the situation, and then, Surant beside him stopped him: "Lord Duke, Her Majesty has already set off with the second princess Modi, and Lord Miya have set off for the south, this time it is a specially arranged itinerary for Princess Modi." If the Duke wants to leave the Princess's Mansion, then please do it within a stick of incense, otherwise, the Princess's Mansion will not be allowed to enter or leave. ”
"You !!"
"Please, Surant!" Lindsay gave an order to Su Lan with an expressionless face, and Su Lan snorted coldly without humility or arrogance: "The minister retires!" ”
After Surant left, Lindsay immediately ordered everyone: "Edith, Hovis, Phil, you leave immediately!" Don't take half a step closer to the Princess's Mansion, Isel, I'm giving you a choice. Is it to go, or is it to stay? ”
"I don't want to leave!"
"Okay, you guys go right away. Don't worry about me, I've got Dick and Iseel by my side to take care of, go ahead. Lindsey gave the group a reassuring smile and waved them away. Before leaving, Lindsay did not forget to instruct: "Remember, each of you, do not seek advice from anyone or Her Majesty." ”
There were only three people left in the room, Dick, Issel, and Lindsay. None of them spoke, and it came so suddenly that no one felt good in their hearts. Lindsay shook her head, breaking the ice first: "It's come to this, and there's nothing I can do to change it." ”
"Your Highness the Princess!" Dicks suddenly appeared, causing Isel to exclaim in fright, "What's the matter?" Lindsay frowned, and seeing Isel frightened made her feel distressed.
"Report, the princess's mansion is surrounded by the queen's own soldiers!"
"What?! Her Majesty, she ......" Lindsay's body shook slightly, and a mouthful of blood came out of her mouth. For a while, the princess's mansion was in chaos......
Edith returned to the Duke's Palace, where someone was already waiting for him. As soon as he stepped into the front hall, Edith froze in place: "Surante? ”
"I've seen the Duke~"
"Aren't you gone? What are you doing with me? "Edith has never had a good opinion of this sloppy man.
Surrant smiled, unconcerned about Edith's attitude. He said: "It was supposed to be leaving, but Her Majesty needs someone to serve her." However, after finishing the matter of Princess Lindsay, it occurred to me that Her Majesty wanted me to tell you a word in person, and Her Majesty said that this matter was very important. So, I'm here to wait for you to come back. ”
Surant walked up to Edith and whispered with a smile: "Her Majesty wants to ask you, do you want Lindsay, or do you want military power?" Surant sneered a few times, looked at the stunned Edith with satisfaction, and said, "I have already brought the words, Lord Duke." For your own sake, I still want to say more, Lord Duke, do you think it is important to be a princess who has lost power, or is it important for your subordinates to have military power? I think you should be able to distinguish the weight~ Think of the deceased Duke. Princess Modi has completely replaced the eldest princess~ Everyone knows that Princess Modi has always been devoted to you~ Lord Duke, I believe you are a smart person. ”
Edith came back to his senses and looked at Surant in disgust: "The Duke of Ben has my own opinions, you are a little errand, when you are a character?!" Believe it or not, Duke Ben will cut you right now!! ”
Su Lante's face changed, and he was happy: "Oops~ Lord Edith." Isn't this also for your sake, villain~~ Since the Duke thinks that the villain is too talkative~ Then the villain won't say it, don't say it. Su Lante looked at the sky and hurriedly said, "It's not early, the villain is going to serve Her Majesty." ”
He had never seen such a flustered Surant, and he didn't want to stay in the Duke's Palace for a moment after three steps and two steps. The embarrassed appearance was once again spurned by Edith, should come or come, he, how to choose?
