The courtiers who had led Byron left the side hall, and the calm and polite smile on his face faded.

He looked back at the side hall with white walls but for some reason it looked desolate, and sighed:

Compared with His Majesty's precious princes, these people, who were temporarily activated to replace their predecessors, but who knew too much, were really at a loss for the future.

The courtier recalled that he had bothered to drill in order to appear in front of His Majesty, but he did not expect that he would never remember him one day, and now that His Majesty's will had not been issued, I hope that the situation is not as strict as he imagined.

……

Time passed silently, and the palace gate was closed for three days, and people were talking.

Three days later, the nobles were released from the palace and returned to their private estates, where they shut themselves out and shut down all those who came to inquire about the news.

Half a day later, more than a dozen important ministers who were in high positions also left the palace and calmly conveyed an unfortunate obituary to the outside world:

"Three days ago, the palace was infiltrated by assassins, and the palace collapsed and fell, but fortunately, the two Majesties were not injured under the protection of the masters, but unfortunately, in the chaos, His Royal Highness Odin was seriously injured by the assassination and died before midnight last night;

The palace guards also aroused the anger of His Majesty because of the assassin's infiltration, and closed the palace to conduct a thorough investigation, and the unfortunate deaths in this assassination were also a number of close ministers and guards such as Count Jefa, and the two Majesty Xià were slightly irritated by this assassination, but there was no major physical problem, but it was just because of the death of his beloved son, and he was too saddened ......"

After the important ministers left the palace, the bell tower resembled a dull and forgetful old man. The long and slow bell rang slowly, and the long bell rang in people's hearts one by one, and there was a sense of belated dust settlement.

Due to the precedent of the closure of the palace due to the serious illness of York, the reason for the closure of the palace this time. It's hard to say how many people actually believed, but on the surface, everyone accepted the seemingly acceptable reason.

All the balls and nights planned in the schedule were cancelled, and as soon as the party and amusement stopped, the men put black flowers on the chests of their dresses, and the ladies wore black veils to express their concern for His Majesty, and the tribute of the prince and the invitation to hunt down the murderer flew into the palace like snowflakes.

In the collapsed palace of Lancet, Lin An has been temporarily living here for the past three days.

When she heard about the emperor's will and Odin's "obituary" from Randster, she was slightly stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Bold and decisive, with his governance." His Majesty is indeed a wise king. ”

Odin if not "dead". It would be impossible for the Saxons to inherit his legacy of popularity and power. Not to mention later.

The emperor was able to make a decision so quickly, and he was saved a lot of trouble in the future, but if he was seen from the perspective of a father. But it made Lin Anxin feel an indescribable chill.

Even Lin An, who was on the opposite side of Odin, felt this way, let alone other people who knew the inside story in this matter. Lancet sat in the chair opposite Lin An, his long fingers hooked the handle of the cup, and the tea in it was already half cold, before he slowly sighed:

"Her Majesty the Queen is very ill, and Elizabeth has moved in the day before yesterday, and it is said that she has been taking care of her bedside unclothedly, but I went to visit this morning, and it seems that there is no improvement."

In this palace change, if you look at who is the least affected. Except for Byron, who is said to have drunk at night in the mansion of the lord of Sumisibi, it is Elizabeth. Because even the queen seems to have been held hostage for a short time halfway, and how she was okay afterwards, Lin An didn't know.

But Lin An estimated that with the wind and waves that the queen had seen in her life, this hijacking would not make her so sick, and the reason why she was bedridden all of a sudden was probably related to the result of this palace change.

Princess Elizabeth was busy and privately thanked Lanster, probably because of the early warning before Lanster entered the secret passage, which played a positive role in Elizabeth's palace change.

Lin An did not leave the palace in the past three days, so he stayed in the dormitory to cultivate as if he did not exist, so as to avoid appearing in front of the emperor or being remembered by him.

Those ** masters don't know where they went, but with the Azure Spear in charge, it is impossible for there to be any fish that have slipped through the net, and Lin An only occasionally guesses what the emperor will do with the people in the Mage Tower when he thinks of the Mage Tower.

"Isn't the Northern Route a good place to go? If I were the emperor, I wouldn't give them a chance to get involved in the imperial capital. ”

Saleen's note reads.

Lin An had been using the Ring of Artemis to communicate with them, informing them of the general situation in the palace, and had also learned that Salin's legs had been reconnected after a special ritual and were now back to normal.

"Ann, when are you coming back?" Andre's note was scribbled, but it expressed the concern of John Angelia and others about Lin An.

"Wait a minute, things have come to this point, the emperor won't do anything to me, even if he is dizzy, with the Azure Spear, there is no place safer than here."

From the current point of view, after such a huge blow, the emperor still retains full sanity, and Lin An is not good to just say goodbye without saying goodbye, otherwise the emperor will definitely hate her even more in his heart if he doesn't say it.

What's more, she has been waiting for someone to solve one thing.

Lin An didn't wait too long, and that night, a palace attendant entered the collapsed palace of Lancet through the back door in a low-key manner.

“…… It was the only request he had made in three days. The palace attendant didn't dare to look at Lin An, and lowered his head and said in front of her.

"Odin wants to see me?"

Lin An hooked his lips with a faint smile, "It's okay, I want to see him too." ”

She gently smoothed the folds of her robe on her legs and slowly stood up.

Under the guidance of the palace attendant, the road was unimpeded, and the palace attendant and Lin An seemed to be two shadows, specializing in walking through remote and rugged paths.

Occasionally, when encountering the checkpoints of soldiers who returned to work after cleaning and replacement, the palace attendant showed the token in a low-key manner, and the soldier released it directly after checking the token, ignoring Lin An, who was covered by a hood behind the palace attendant.

The checkpoints on the road gradually became dense, until the two entered a rather magnificent palace garden, and then turned seven and eight corners to a remote palace courtyard.

The exterior of this courtyard is anything but desolate. But no one around always makes people feel eerie, and it is incompatible with the grandeur that this palace gave to Lin An before, even a goose paw sticking out of the wall is wilting, and the whole courtyard is like a powerful beast crawling in the night.

There was no one in front of the courtyard door. The palace attendant only stopped in front of the door, bowed down and motioned for Lin An to enter by himself.

Lin An bowed his head slightly and walked along the cobblestone path.

There was a faint fragrance of grass and trees in the courtyard, and when she was about to walk to the front of the palace, Lin An saw a figure sitting there with her back to her behind the railing of a white pavilion on the left side of the path.

As if sensing Lin An's gaze, the man put down the book and turned around, revealing the stubble that had not been taken care of for three days and extended to the sideburns.

That's Byron.

When he saw Lin An, he didn't seem to expect Lin An to come over so soon, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. But he didn't say anything to Lin An. He bowed slightly and nodded.

Lin An nodded in return. Then she felt a gaze look diagonally upward, and she saw a burly man sitting on the top of the palace. Lifted his eyelids and glanced at Lin An, and a low voice came:

"Let's go inside."

Byron from the gazebo

walked out, with a large set of keys strung on a metal ring in his hand, making a tinkling sound.

"You're a guard." Lin An's eyes flashed, the emperor is a human after all, and he also has the psychology of a normal person.

With a wry smile on his face, Byron came to the double door and inserted the key into the lock.

There's the one above. The door lock is only decorative, not complicated at all, turned left and right a few times, and clicked open.

Byron pulled out the metal chain that was worn on the door knocker, and the metal chain collided with the door knocker with a cold sound, and there was a feeling of being particularly loud in this silent courtyard, and the few insect chirps in the courtyard disappeared at once.

After pulling out the chains, Byron didn't push the door, paused, and stepped back to get out of the way.

Lin An glanced at him, stepped forward without hesitation, and stretched out his hand without hesitation, and the heavy carved doors opened to both sides.

A faint smell came to his face, as if it was a faint smell formed by the fermentation of many smells such as the smell of food and sweat, and Lin An found that the indoor air was dull, and the surrounding windows and doors were closed.

The door leaf that was pushed open touched something, and the metal basin slid out on the smooth floor tiles.

Lin An looked down in the not-so-bright light, it was a silver basin containing food, and there were still a little unsolidified sauce on the edges, and the food inside was cleaned up.

The silver basin was placed behind the door, and Lin An noticed that there was a small door under the door that could be pushed and pulled, so that the person who delivered the food could hand the plate in, and the eater would put the plate in that position after eating, and the whole process did not require any communication and meeting, which was more isolated than the prison.

Turning around and closing the door and putting the plate back in that position, Lin An's gaze shifted from the plate to a velvet high-backed chair with her back to the door, and from Lin An's point of view, she couldn't see the expression of the person sitting on the chair.

"Looks like you have a good appetite."

"You think if he declares me dead, I'll kill myself?" A deep male voice sounded behind the chair, sounding not weak, at least it was different from what Lin An had seen all the way and how she felt after entering the palace.

In Lin An's mind, Odin fell here from a high position, at least he shouldn't live so well.

If there was no past, Lin An probably couldn't help but admire him, "Your 'obituary', is Byron suing you?" ”

"No, he's a smart man, and at this point, there's no need for him to do more things to me." Odin smuttered, "I know, only because I know my dear father better than anyone else. ”

Pound the ground! After the whole annual leave, I feel like I can't get back to work, I know that I have to do this, but when I get up, I always put it off for five minutes and then five minutes, and I feel that my bones are weak and I don't want to leave the pillow at all...... Nei Niu, I'm sorry everyone, just shoot the bricks and slap me as a procrastinator, sure enough, it's not so easy to get used to the bones and get lazy and return to the pace of double change!

Anyway, I went to turn through 262 chapters today, and found that I was still updated last year Chinese New Year's Eve I really have the conscience of the industry...... The RP value of ╭n╮()〈))╭n ╮ falling below the bottom plate is really heartbreaking~
