Chapter 559: Heidi, Old Dog, and Yorkiedan
Convincing a noble lady who has been played a joke by fate and is already cornered is much less difficult than you think.
Half a magic hour later, leaving a note for Love in the leaky cabin, Heidi boarded the carriage with them without hesitation.
Heidi was a little restless after getting into the car.
Then she saw that Lin An and Lancet were quite gentle, and barely calmed down, but she was a little ashamed to cover her hands and feet as much as possible with the cloth skirt - for a noble girl, showing her such a deplorable and rude side in front of others was enough to make her die of shame.
Fortunately, Heidi has gone through the psychological process of rekindling hope from heaven to abyss, numbness, and disillusionment in the past few days, and although she is still anxious about the future, she can still see a glimmer of light, so her mind is quite reasonable, and after living in a slum leaky wooden house, she does not want to talk about any more aristocratic demeanor.
Heidi's gaze shifted somewhat sluggishly, falling on her flawless side face, and staring at her fixedly:
Seven days ago, this beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes was still the object of her jealousy, and she went to great lengths to get Charles to allow her to attend the Autumn Festival Ball, just to get a glimpse of each other.
But when she really saw the other person up close, she found that she could not compare with her at all, whether it was appearance, ability, or human eyeβthe other party's admirer was willing to condescend to accompany her in such a filthy and lowly place, and her former lover was about to kill her because of a trivial matter.
"Why? Why me! β
In the middle of the night, Heidi thought about the question countless times, and then with the news that Love brought, she gradually became numb and felt like a walking corpse.
She stared at Lin An for a while, only then did she realize her gaffe, and quickly looked away, staring down at a point on the wall of the car, looking pitiful.
Lin An can understand her mood, for this pampered aristocratic girl, the impact of the experience of the past few days on her heart is probably no less than Lin An's psychological journey after crossing over.
Of course, it is impossible to say that there is too much pity because of Heidi's experience, everyone must be responsible for their own actions, not to mention that even if she is reduced to a slum, Heidi's situation is much better than many people.
And she wants to control Heidi, not only to learn the details of the day from her, but also because she doesn't want to miss this opportunity to place chess pieces next to Charles.
The carriage suddenly braked suddenly, and Bishop, who was temporarily acting as a coachman in front, finally controlled the horse, and then quickly turned around and knocked on the wall of the carriage to apologize.
It turned out that the carriage had already driven out of the slums, and on the main road leading from the civilian area to the inner city, a small child suddenly came out, and Bishop subconsciously pulled the reins.
Outside the carriage came the cries and shouts of children, and the scolding gradually increased, as if the carriage had been stopped in front of it, and Bishop had to get out of the carriage and shake the whip coldly, and the people did not dare to approach it in fear, but cursed loudly around the carriage.
Heidi curled up in horror in the saddle.
The wooden house where she lived before had been peeping into, and there was always some movement next to the house, which kept her awake at night, and she only dared to sleep during the day.
Bishop was negotiating with those people, but after all, he needed to hide his identity, so he couldn't help but get in the way, Lin An closed his eyes and listened for a moment, then opened his eyes and said softly:
"It looks like I've been blackmailed."
They were actually blocked by a group of poor people.
Heidi was stunned in disbelief, but when she saw that Ranster had an ordinary face, she didn't seem to feel that this kind of encounter had lost her identity, nor did she feel angry, but she was faintly displeased, opened the curtain and looked at it twice, and said to Lin An:
"Let's get Bishop to settle it quickly, and give them some money."
Their carriage had been remodeled, sturdy and sturdy, and the interior was no different from the aristocratic carriage, but it looked like an ordinary traveling carriage on the outside, so it was no wonder that it would be targeted by those local snakes.
And Bishop's act of not daring to step on the child gave those people the feeling of being bullied, after all, as long as it was a person with a bit of background, the carriage would run over a civilian child, and it would just be a loss of money.
Lin An snorted, but before she could speak, Bishop had already solved the blackmailers who were surrounded.
Lin An said: Bishop should just not want to cause trouble and let us be noticed. β
For the sake of Bi Shop and his subordinates helping her run for a few days, Lin An explained to him, not to mention that at present, Bi Shop's adaptability is not bad, as far as a subordinate is concerned, he can be regarded as powerful.
Lance nodded, his face softening slightly.
"Your Excellencies, do you condone the insults of these untouchables in this way?" The bus network does not skip words. Heidi couldn't help but speak.
She was taught that the aristocracy was born to be the ruler of the commoners, and that even the slightest thought of blasphemy should be punished accordingly.
Heidi, on the other hand, considered herself to be the gentler and kinder of the aristocracy, and she had seen many poor people hanged for unintentional offenses.
"And they did not know that we were in the wagon, and that our sins were not unto death."
Lancet glanced at Heidi and said calmly, not showing the slightest displeasure from the scolding.
Lin An smiled slightly, "They will be punished." β
Bishop would not let go of the man who would disgrace him in front of the sovereign.
Heidi was moved by Ranster's words.
In her environment, no one did this, even Charles, tolerance and grace were only shown to those of equal status, and strict to those who were inferior, and in the past, Heidi had always believed that this was the authority and power of the superior.
And after experiencing this kind of abuse under the authority of the superiors, Heidi felt the coldness behind it.
When she looked at the problem from another angle, Lancet's leniency made her see clearly what is the true high-mindedness, which is not a kind of power that can only be shown in the weak.
Heidi couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart, but when she saw the subtle gentleness that Lancet occasionally felt when she talked to Lin An, the touch of emotion that had just risen in her heart quickly cooled down.
Bishop drove his carriage around the business district to make sure no one could keep up with him, and then he passed through the business district and into the inner city, where he came to a garden house by the river on the edge of the affluent district.
This is a private property that Ranster secretly acquired, and the surrounding buildings are quite low. The carriage drove in through the back door, and the vine-strewn courtyard wall blocked the view from the outside.
Bishop drove the car into the carport and thanked Lin An in a low voice when he diligently helped Lin An get out of the car.
Lin An was a little surprised that he could hear the conversation between them in the car just now, and then he understood that Bishop may also be different from ordinary people in terms of hearing and even five senses, so it can be said that he was born to eat this mouthful of food.
This private mansion was just enough for Heidi to live in temporarily, and Bishop stayed here enough to keep an eye on her, while Lin An and Lancet left in the car.
The low-key and luxurious aristocratic carriage drove out the back door, and Heidi watched the carriage disappear until the rear of the carriage disappeared, and when she turned around, she saw Bishop standing behind her, as if she had seen all her expressions just now.
Heidi's face was so red that she was dripping blood, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a place to get in.
Bishop didn't seem to see Heidi's embarrassment, and quietly lowered his eyes and said:
"Miss Heidi, please!"
Heidi lifted her skirt and saluted uneasily, not even daring to look at Bishop's face, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the small building with her head down.
Unbeknownst to her, Bishop behind her stared at her back thoughtfully:
"From the back, it does look a little similar! No wonder ......"
β¦β¦
Champs-nave.
In front of the long rosewood table full of twists and turns, the Inspector in his hand, who was in charge of the Imperial Supervision Power, knelt on the ground, cold sweat poured down, and a small puddle of water accumulated on the fine cashmere carpet in front of him.
The emperor sat indifferently behind the table, and a cold voice came:
ββ¦β¦ On the day I took office, I told you that when I need your answer, the answer can never be not to know. β
"Your Majesty is incompetent."
The Inspector General's forehead was pressed against the ground.
"Since you can't do it, I'll have to replace it with someone who can do it," the emperor said lightly, "and you can step aside." β
The verdict was finally pronounced in a voice from above, and the Inspector General shuddered and wilted as if he had been greatly stimulated.
But in the hall, the two guards, who had no sense of zΓ i and seemed to be furnishings, came to life, stepped forward silently, and helped up this important minister, who was secretly called "cunning fox" by many nobles half a month ago, and got out half-lifted and half-lifted.
But the Inspector seemed to be too weak to move, and the guards had to "help" all the way out of the Champs, and when they passed through the outer hall, they were all noticed by the ministers waiting inside:
ββ¦β¦ He's got this too! β
ββ¦β¦ Ha, I think when he overthrew the former Inspector General......"
ββ¦β¦ After all, I have been serving for nearly 20 years! β
ββ¦β¦ It seems that His Majesty is still in a bad mood......"
The ministers whispered, and some of their voices were deliberately raised and reached the ears of the "cunning fox" Pattis, which was a great shame for a powerful person who once held great power but was once down!
In particular, "Cunning Fox", as the Minister of Supervision, is destined to make more enemies than befriending, and he has countless enemies in the imperial capital, and it can be expected that the enemies will fall in the future.
His best fate was to immediately sweep away his net worth before the enemies had free their hands, and quickly took the whole family back to the territory.
Therefore, "Cunning Fox" Pattiss was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, his hands and feet trembled, and he became more and more powerless, and he even had to be sent by the guards to get in the car.
But after the door closed and only the "cunning fox" was left in the carriage, Pattisse, who seemed to be slumped in the seat, stopped trembling, and her red face with anger and congestion disappeared with a whoosh.
He sat up, his thin face a little mean, and his face had regained its calm.
He was silent for a moment, a fine light flashed under his wrinkled and slightly drooping eyelids, and his body trembled slightly, as if containing a kind of uncontrollable excitement, as if he believed in his heart, and lowered himself

Talking to yourself:
"Majesty, thank you for your compassion and arrangement! When your most loyal old Pattiss leaves behind the last bit of worries and will still come back to be the most ferocious and vicious knife under your seat, how can Pattis, the old dog, leave you when you need it most! β
"Cunning Fox" laughed twice, and in a low and pious tone, sang a song in praise of the founding emperor and loyal generals:
ββ¦β¦ That year and that month, the earth was devastated, the living creatures wailed, and heresy descended on the sea of ice...... The emperor star fell, and Dawn Xi was slightly reborn......"
β¦β¦
As the Pattis's carriage drove away, another carriage stopped in front of the Champs, and Yorkiadan, dressed in a royal suit, stepped out of the carriage.
"That looks like Mistress Pattis's carriage?" He raised his feet up the stairs, but stopped at them, turned to look at the carriage in the distance, and asked.
"Your Highness, it's Lord Pattiss's car."
Pattiss's dismissal may have been ten likely, and it has been seen by so many people along the way, it must soon be known to everyone.
A guard, who usually received the benefits of Yokyadan, was not worried about making a taboo, and when he answered, he whispered: Master Pattiss had just come out of it and was 'helped' into the car, and many adults had seen it. β
"Oh."
Jokyadan understood, and watched thoughtfully as the carriage went away.
A guard behind him had already quickly stuffed a small but delicate embroidered money bag into the past, and the guard who had spoken before checked it, heard the subtle sound of gold coins colliding inside, put it away contentedly, and automatically asked to lead the way for Yorkiadan.
"How can you even be a 'cunning fox'...... It stands to reason that it won't! β
Yokjardan muttered to himself, surprised in his heart, thinking that his father's attention to that assassination was so great that he was angry with his left and right hands?
He couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart about the purpose of his trip.
"Your Highness, what did you say?"
The guard who led the way turned back, not hearing him.
No matter how frightened he was, his face was still impassive, and he asked lightly: How is your majesty feeling lately? How did you sleep? β
It is natural for the son to care about his father's physical condition, but he gave the guard ten dares, and he did not dare to divulge a word about the emperor's physical condition.
But he did eat a lot of benefits from Yokyadan, and the fifth prince had been the most popular among all the princes recently, so the guard had to take advantage of the fact that there was no one on the left and right, and whispered in response:
"Your Majesty scolded a few adults today, the voice is very loud, the middle air is very full, and the voice has spread outside......"
When the two came to the inner sanctum, Yokyadan went in alone to see the emperor.
"Why are you here? How have you been cultivating these days? β
When the emperor saw this little son, his face softened slightly, and he remembered that in the past few days, because of the assassination, he was appeasing people's hearts and scolding his courtiers, and he stayed in the Champs almost all day, not to mention the youngest son, and even the queen had not seen him for several days.
"It's already been restored, but the affinity attribute of the magic pool has changed a little, and the proportion of light elements is a little higher, I asked Master Rice to change the meditation rules, and now I have adjusted it."
"Oh?" The Emperor was concerned about the situation in Yorkiadan.
Seeing this, Yokjadan felt that his father was paying more attention to him than before, and he couldn't hide his joy under the panic, and couldn't help but say a little more.
"Hmm...... Just get fully recovered! The Emperor nodded, "Is there anything you have to do here?" "The bus network doesn't skip words.
He scrutinized the son.
Because of Yokjadan's talent, the emperor paid no less attention to this son than Odin, which also caused the perception that he doted on his youngest son in the eyes of everyone.
But the Emperor now remembered that since he planned to let Yokyadan take over as Guardian, for the sake of the relationship between the next Emperor and the Guardian, he might have to learn from the ancestors and get rid of Yorkiadan's inheritance rights in the first place.
But it has come to this point, it is useless to regret it, it is too late for him to change his attitude now, it will only cause unrest and turmoil for his son and his vassals.
Yokyadan didn't know that the emperor had thought so much in an instant, but the emperor's attitude gave him a lot of encouragement, and after a pause, he said the prepared words:
"Father, my son has recovered now, and because of his injury, he has always given Byron the task you gave me before, so I want to hold this safari with Byron."
"Safari?"
The emperor's pale brow furrowed.
Now those mountain people lurkers are nowhere to be found, and the entire imperial capital is rumored because of the casualties at the previous autumn festival ball, who is in the mood to hold any autumn hunt, even if it is held, I'm afraid no one will participate.
But as soon as the emperor moved, he quickly reacted, "You want to be a deception?" β
"Wisdom is no better than that of my father!" Yokjadan said sincerely.
"Be smart!"
The emperor snorted coldly, and the word "Chuan" fell into a deep line between his eyebrows, but he did not immediately veto it.
Seeing this, Yokjadan lowered his head, but secretly rejoiced:
The fact that the father did not refuse means that he has some heart, but he weighs it uncertainly, which is equivalent to half the success of the matter.
But he did not dare to speak again, and his father, though he loved him, would not allow him to interfere with his decision.
Under the rule of his father, the centralization of power in the whole St. Merlin increased unabated compared with the previous emperor, and the prosperity of the empire confirmed that his father's rule was wise and wise, and he also developed the character of his father.
Yokyadan bowed his head for a long time, and only then did the emperor's voice come from in front of him:
"How long is it until the original scheduled safari date?"
"It was originally scheduled to be in the middle of the Laurel Festival, that is, five days later, about half a month after the Autumn Festival Ball." Yokyadan Road.
"There are still five days...... "the Emperor said to himself, "no, it doesn't have to be held!" β
As soon as Yokjardan's heart sank, he heard the emperor continue:
"In ten days, the palace will be moved, and after arriving at the Sumisipi River, I will personally hold an autumn hunt!"
Yokjardan was stunned for a moment, and it became clear that his father's purpose was to promote martial prowess, to sweep away the gloom that had been permeated by the Autumn Festival Ball, and to reunite people's morale - in fact, his original purpose was also this.
He did not attend the Autumn Festival Ball, and Byron, Charles, and Douglas were scolded and snubbed by their father for the assassination, and he took the opportunity to reappear in the Autumn Hunt, which was a good time to win hearts and minds.
When my father said this, did he notice something?
Yokjartan was drenched in a cold sweat for a while.
Only then did he realize that since the successive incidents in the Maple Palace and Plantagenet Manor, Odin had been expelled, and the other three brothers had been blamed one after another, but his father had become more and more gentle and concerned about him, and it seemed that the situation was gradually favoring him, and he unconsciously became a little arrogant and jumped a little too high.
Jokjardan was terrified when he heard the Emperor's voice again:
"Now that you're all right, go help Rosemary! She had just given birth to Michelle, and when she was weak, she had to prepare for the funerals of Dylan and Aurora. β
Rosemary is the eldest princess, and Michelle is the youngest daughter she gave birth to the night after hearing the obituary of her children, and she was pregnant for nine months in the womb.
The queen personally sat in the eldest princess to give birth that night, and as soon as Xiao Michelle was born, she was taken to the palace for temporary recuperation, so as not to tire the eldest princess - of course, this is a clear statement.
However, it is fortunate that Michelle is a girl, otherwise, even with the strict protection of the queen, she may not be guaranteed to survive for a year - as a woman who has experienced the bloody battle of the emperor's accession to the throne, the queen can't leave anything to chance no matter how kind and trusting her children usually are.
This is the cruelty of the struggle for the throne, there is no room for any mercy and luck, not only the princes are fighting for the top, but even if they don't fight, the factional forces behind them are also pushing them to fight.
Even the bloody assassination seven days ago, although the current testimony points to the battle of Ponto, is now beginning to be muttered in private because the Assassins have been unable to find a trace for a long time.
After all, from the bright side, the most affected are Odin and Charles, the former lost two children, the latter lost a child and an in-law who is not yet known to be male and female, and was scolded by the emperor the most because the assassination took place in Plantagenet Manor.
The punishment suffered by Charles did not have too many people to intercede for him, even the people of Charles's faction knew that he had to suffer a certain loss in order to appease the grievances of the other victims.
As far as public opinion in the imperial capital is concerned, although Odin and Charles suffered both trauma in the assassination, and it can even be said that Charles is greater, people are generally more inclined to sympathize with Odin.
This has to make Yokjaran suspect that this is a bitter ploy of Odin:
Compared to other people who were kept in the dark, Jokjadan really knew Odin's current situation, and he did not doubt that Odin could have such ruthlessness and determination, because if he put himself in his shoes, he himself might also pay the price of two biological flesh and blood in exchange for a chance to turn over - because if he didn't do this, then maybe he would have no chance, unless Odin directly gathered an army outside to rebel.
Thinking of this, Yokjadan was shocked, and suddenly felt as if he was in danger.
The last frivolity in his heart was settled, and he quietly accepted the emperor's life, with a trace of sadness on his face, as if he had thought about it seriously, and then asked seemingly casually:
"Neither Dylan nor Aurora are adults, and according to custom, they should be buried within a month, and the capital will be moved ten days later, and the time is indeed urgent, will it be a bit hasty? Big brother should always come back to see him, after all...... He was their father. β
He was shrewd and did not use tentative inquiries, but took the initiative as if with good intentions.
Sure enough, at the mention of Odin and his father, the emperor was touched, a trace of cold electricity flashed in his eyes, and a cold aura emanated from his body, and he said lightly:
"No need, he's out on the march now, it's a disturbance, I didn't send anyone to inform him about Dylan and Aurora, you ...... Don't do anything more! β
The emperor looked at his youngest son meaningfully.
Yokjadan bowed his head, and the guards on either side were like sculptures, deaf to the conversation in the temple.
