Chapter 1350: That Figure
The entrance ceremony of the delegation of high-ranking officers of the Union army ended before it began.
After all, the death of the Emperor of the Alliance, Dì Dū, overpowered everything, so that all the celebrations were turned into mourning and the entrance ceremony was canceled before the action had begun, and the celebration ceremony was postponed indefinitely.
In addition to the sadness of mourning, the whole alliance is still shocked and difficult to accept.
The Emperor of the Alliance died like this, and died so suddenly?
They knew that His Majesty the Emperor had never been very healthy because he was too obese, but they really didn't expect to die suddenly in the prime of life.
It's like smashing a mountain into a small pond and making all the water in the pond fluctuate, and being in it, no one is unaffected. In this drastic situation, many people have all kinds of thoughts, and when the sky is not yet bright, they begin to make small actions in the open and in the dark.
Finally waited for dawn, the east had just revealed the dawn, and the black-faced old man Oscar took Richard and hurried into the palace.
After entering the palace, you can see many waiters in the palace, coming and going in a panic, and doing things in a hurry.
The festive decorations that were originally going to be celebrated were too late to be replaced normally, and they were directly torn off rudely and piled up on the corners with thick cloths to temporarily cover them. Then the servants hung up a number of funeral decorations made in a hurry, all in black and white, to make the air extremely solemn.
The black-faced old man looked at this scene for a few moments and didn't say anything, but his gaze became a little darker, and he led Richard to the emperor's bedroom.
When I arrived at the gate of the dormitory, I saw that many palace officials had gathered here, and they were discussing in a low voice.
"Why did Your Majesty pass away suddenly, isn't your body always good? â
"You are wrong, His Majesty's death was indeed sudden, but his body was not always fine...... You have also seen His Majesty's figure, although majestic, but also worrying. â
"Is this the reason for that?"
"I don't dare to talk nonsense about this, and there is no accurate news so far, so let's wait for the final conclusion. â
"That ......"
The members of the royal family also appeared, and compared with the officials, it was much quieter, and at the door of the dormitory stood silently the eldest prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and other princes, their faces were extremely solemn, like mourning...... Actually, it's not like that, but it's just that.
After a while, the third prince was also in a wheelchair, coughing and being pushed over, staying with the prince's brothers.
Richard glanced at the third prince, who was pale and very weak, and then he understood a little that when he came to Char, all the members of the royal family visited, why was there only one missing, it seems that this one is in very poor health, if the emperor is not dead, he should have stayed in the house and not come out, and it is understandable not to visit at the beginning. Of course, it may be that the other party is in poor health and has lost the qualification for political competition, so there is no point in visiting him.
The black-faced old man Oscar didn't pay attention to a few princes, he was more shocked by the emperor's death, and couldn't help but walk towards the palace, but he was stopped before he reached the door.
The reason for stopping is simple, and it cannot be refused: in the dormitory, the deceased emperor is being sorted out and cannot be disturbed.
So, Oscar had no choice but to stop, and the same group stayed outside the door for more than an hour before he was allowed to line up to enter the dormitory to say goodbye and mourn to the emperor who had sorted out his remains.
After saying goodbye, Oscar's eyes had completely dimmed, and he recognized the reality of the death of the Emperor of the Alliance, no matter what the reason was, but dead is dead. Although the person lying inside has been beautified by the makeup artist to look more majestic and solemn, Oscar can recognize it as the Emperor of the Alliance, exactly the same as the Emperor of the Alliance.
Oscar was visibly distracted, slowed down his walk, and took Richard twice as long to leave the palace.
Out of the palace, Oscar continued to walk, Richard sensed something, and turned his head slightly to look at a person who appeared in the distance.
The man's body was wrapped in a thick black robe, covering most of his face, revealing only a pair of somewhat cloudy blue eyes, staring at this side all the time, and after noticing that Richard noticed him, he stretched out a hand full of old age spots from under the black robe, and gently pointed at his body.
Richard was puzzled, reached out and grabbed Oscar, signaling the existence of the black-robed old man.
Oscar turned his head to look, and as soon as he made eye contact with the other party, the other party turned around and left.
What the hell is going on?
Richard was quite puzzled, and then heard Oscar say in a low voice: "I'm going to trouble you today, accompany me to follow that person." In his tone, he suddenly felt a little more energetic, and he was no longer lifeless before.
"Do you know?" asked Richard.
"That's a personal servant that Your Majesty is very close to, originally because he was too old, he no longer served His Majesty and retired for the elderly, I don't know why he appeared here. In any case, he is very trusted by His Majesty, and he must have something to say. Oscar quickly explained.
"Okay. Richard listened and did not refuse Oscar's request, and followed with Oscar.
The black-robed old man was in front, Richard and Oscar were behind, and he walked all the way out of the full mile, leaving the surrounding area of the palace, turning around in the remote alley, and entering a courtyard.
The black-robed old man waited in the courtyard living room for a while, and when Richard and Oscar arrived, he opened a secret door on the wall with a "bang".
Oscar couldn't help but ask at this time: "Mr. Lan Li, right? Why did you bring me here? Is there something that Your Majesty did during his lifetime that you want to convey to me?"
"Follow me, wait a little longer, and you'll know...... Lord Oscar. The other party made an old voice, and without hesitation after speaking, he stepped into the passage behind the secret door, and the figure disappeared quickly.
Oscar had no choice but to follow, and Richard accompanied him, also a little curious about what was going on.
Enter the passage and go all the way down, about a few dozen meters deeper, to an empty underground hall.
There are quite a few lampposts lit here, and it doesn't look dim. When the old man named Lan Li arrived, he walked directly to the corner and bowed to a halt, and then Richard noticed that there were other people in this place.
In the depths of the hall, a stout figure was sitting on a stool, and when he heard a sound, he turned around with a slight difficulty.
Oscar's body suddenly trembled, and the moment his eyes fell on the person's face, his breathing stagnated, and the air was quiet for several seconds, and finally, Oscar couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty~"
The stout figure is none other than the already "dead" Emperor of the Union, Petro Romanov!
