Without warning, the emperor suddenly wanted to take people back to the imperial capital like a fire burning his buttocks.

The entire winter shelter procession, including the number of nobles and servants, is hundreds of thousands, plus a huge amount of materials and guards, the return journey is not at all a matter of a moment and a half, just the itinerary planning and logistics preparation along the way, it is not a day or two to complete, one day, even send the order to the towns along the way, let the local officials and lords prepare time is not enough.

But the emperor was very urgent this time, and the order was issued the next day, and the emperor and dozens of important ministers who accompanied him left the palace and flew straight to the imperial capital under the support of several sword saints and ** divisions, leaving the queen and the large team in the Sumisipi Palace.

The emperor's departure, because it was very abrupt, was not known outside the palace at first.

However, it was inevitable that the sudden secret departure made the remaining team uneasy, and when the emperor and others were taken away by the masters, all the people in the palace who could come out to see them off went to see them off, and some nobles were called in.

Before the emperor left, he arranged the personnel after leaving, led by Prince Cyril, Leonardo. Bencent was in charge of the army, and the remaining three princes were assisted, which shows that after forcing the palace, the emperor no longer trusts his sons, and is willing to let his brothers and courtiers be in charge of the army.

Two or three days after the emperor left, the news of the emperor's departure gradually became known to the nobles, although it still caused some discussion, but in view of Odin's death, people thought that the emperor did not want to stay in this sad place, and the nobles were generally calm.

Subsequently, with the transfer of the core of the emperor, all the nobles began to devote themselves to the return journey.

It stands to reason that Lin Anzuo will undoubtedly be a member of the same batch of return to the capital as the emperor, but perhaps out of guilt for the queen, the emperor asked Lin An what he meant, and asked her to stay to take care of the sick queen, and the queen obviously did not rush back to the capital, and the bustle inside and outside the palace preparing to return to the capital did not affect the quietness of the queen's bedroom at all.

In this case, I'm afraid everyone will set off. The Empress will also remain at the Sumisipi Palace.

"The Sumisipi Basin is warm all year round, the air is moist and fresh, and the geothermal heat of the palace is good for recuperation, and if you want to relax, you can always get up from the hunting ground to run horses or go to the city to relax, which is really a great retreat. The imperial capital has a complicated personnel. I built yì Empress Xià or it is better to recuperate here for a while. ”

In a side hall in the Queen's bedroom, a curtain of woven flower drape with golden tassels is half-hidden, and the floor-to-ceiling windows adjacent to the garden provide a private space with a good view. On the low table, there were a few delicate milk refreshments and hot tea with a curling fragrance, and Lin An sat leisurely on a hollowed-out flower chair, chuckling at Princess Elizabeth opposite.

"Indeed, although February has come to an end, when the ice and snow are beginning to melt in late winter and early spring, it is not a good time to travel, and my uncle has been urging the city lord of Sumisipi for the sake of the team's cold protection during this time."

Princess Elizabeth is graceful and smiling.

Except for that unintentional loss of control. Princess Elizabeth has never lost her temper in front of Lin An again, and her elegance and gentleness can be called a model of royalty.

In the end, the girl's previous relationship was different from that of the man, only after that time, as if sharing a tacit secret, Lin An and Princess Elizabeth unconsciously eliminated some estrangement, although it is far from intimacy. has also become a friend who can sit down and gather in his free time, and in his private heart, Lin An also has some appreciation for this princess with a gentle and elegant appearance but a tough personality.

At least in terms of her friend's fiancée, Princess Elizabeth is a pretty good candidate compared to Princess Victoria.

The reason why Lin An has this kind of sigh. Of course, it's because of Princess Victoria, who has finally made an occasional appearance in the queen's bedroom recently, this princess's lower abdomen is flat, and her figure is not deformed, and it is obvious that the crystallization of the indecent relationship in her womb has been dealt with by the emperor.

I don't know how the emperor dealt with it, this Victorian princess is silent a lot, and the arrogance of the royal princess in the past has disappeared a lot, but some avoid people, every time she appears, she comes and goes in a hurry, and she is always followed by a lady with a kind face and gentle demeanor but like a model of etiquette, it is said that she was the etiquette teacher who taught Princess Victoria when she was a child.

To Lin An's surprise, she hadn't seen Ludwig next to Princess Victoria for so long.

Footsteps were heard, more than one person, most of them stayed a little farther away, and only one footstep continued to approach steadily.

"Two beautiful young ladies, may you allow me to come in?" Lancet stood a few steps outside the curtain.

There was a soft laugh behind the curtain, Princess Elizabeth's personal maid lifted the curtain from the outside with a smile, and Lancet nodded to his gentleman and walked in.

"You're leaving, too? So fast! ”

Seeing that Lancet was dressed in the grand duke's costume when he went out, his eyes crossed Ranster, and a long cloak hung in the crook of the arm of the personal guard who remained outside the curtain, and Lin An and Princess Elizabeth both showed surprise on their faces.

"Well, I received urgent news from the imperial capital in the morning, let me and the Marquis of Bencent rush back as much as possible, and the front line is urgent." Lancet didn't sit down, smiling with a hint of melancholy, apparently just saying hello to them, and soon to leave.

"Could it be that something happened on the northern front again?" When Lin An heard this, his body straightened up from the back of the chair. Although she didn't stay too long, she also had many acquaintances in the rear camp of the Northern Front.

"I don't know, it's a big deal, and the inside story won't be said in the urgent news, so as not to make people's hearts uneasy."

"Maybe it's the battle situation of those Ponto people on the southern front, maybe it's the sacrifice of prisoners after the previous victory?" Elizabeth was comforted by the sidelines.

"Maybe you're right." Lancet smiled faintly.

Of course, they all knew that this was very unlikely, and the victory and subsequent conclusion of a small-scale border battle were not enough to alarm the emperor, so that he could not wait for a day to hurry back with his body that had not yet fully recovered.

"By the way, under the crown of the Azure Spear, they just went to the front line, even if he has left, there are more than a dozen masters who have become strong reinforcements, the front line has never been so safe, presumably nothing big can happen, maybe it is indeed good news!" Lin An said with a smile, "Even if it is the opposite, the sky falls, there are always those strong people who stand up to it." ”

"That's right."

There was a soft sound outside the curtain, and Lancet looked back, apparently his guards were urging him to move, and both Lin An and Princess Elizabeth stood up and went out with Lancet.

Because it was an urgent return to the capital, the team outside the palace was not huge, less than two hundred people, most of them were knights, Lin An was also surprised to see that the Sword Saint of Xiubis was also in the team, obviously although he rushed to make the trip, Prince Cyril was also very thoughtful in terms of safety, and at this time, it was the time when it was urgent to stabilize the dìng, and the Grand Duke of the Principality could not have an accident on the road.

"Good luck and a nice trip!"

After Princess Elizabeth and Lancet hugged and said goodbye, Lin An went up, hugged Lancet and put on a veneer, "You go first, maybe we will meet in the imperial capital soon!" ”

Lin An's words were just casually said, but he didn't expect that he would become a proverb.

……

The procession to return to the capital was to set off in batches, with aristocratic men with public offices or prominent family backgrounds going first, basically according to the important to minor batches, and because the climate along the way was not suitable for long journeys except for the basin, most of the noble family members would stay in the palace and wait for the spring snow to melt and the weather warmed before they went on the road.

The emperor and the masters left, and Lin An's freedom of entry and exit was no longer restricted. From time to time, she went into the city to find Andre and others in the wealthy business district, occasionally stayed overnight before returning, and occasionally went to the hunting ground with Princess Elizabeth to run horses and relax, and met with Titi to play for a while, and lived a very relaxed life.

Lin An was not in a hurry to meditate and cultivate now, she was thinking about a question.

After the Kingdom of God, her strength has greatly improved, the main demon pool and the sub-demon pool have been expanded to the limit that they have not reached before, and they are pure and smooth, and they don't even need to be purified, and meditation can't bring her magic power improvement, she still insists on meditation, mainly in communicating magic power.

"I can already open up a second demon splitting pool, but my current cultivation speed seems to be too fast, will it be unstable?" At the end of a meditation, Lin An sweated profusely and poured on the felt carpet, applied a cleaning technique to himself, and thought to himself silently.

From opening up the magic pool to accumulating the magic power to reach the upper limit, it was less than a year, which was half faster than her original plan to fill the first magic pool in about two years, and the speed was far beyond her expectations, not to mention, how shocking this speed was in the eyes of outsiders!

If this development continues, Lin An will not need ten years at all, I am afraid that he will be able to be promoted to the ** division in five years - the ** division in his early twenties is still a woman, and the eyes of the onlookers are probably going to fall out of their eyes!

"--But lately I've been feeling really good, full of magic and in a stable mood......"

Originally, Lin An didn't want to open up the second demon pool so quickly, the opening of the demon pool, the first is the foundation, the most important thing, the previous two-year plan is just an expectation in the case of Shun lì, Lin An actually doesn't mind spending four or five years to consolidate this foundation, otherwise he will be quick success, and when he is promoted to a higher level, the foundation will be difficult to change, and it will be too late to regret it.

Her promotion is already fast, so there is no need to rush.

What's more, as far as the current situation is concerned, the promotion is too rapid and too attractive to the attention of others, especially when a group of masters come and go around and have eyes on it at all times.

But Lin An has been feeling really good recently, the magic pool has indeed reached its limit and cannot expand further, and Odin's death has also eliminated a knot in her heart, and her mood seems to be more stable after this twist and turn, coupled with the departure of the emperor and all the strong people, it has also reduced the pressure on the surrounding environment a lot, and her intuition tells Lin An that this is a suitable time for promotion.
