Constantinople, the Royal Palace.

At noon the next day, Constans II returned to the palace in a huff.

Kent Tanka, dressed in tulle, greeted him, saw his unhappy face, and said, "Your Majesty, who upset you?" ”

Constans II sat down in his chair and said irritably: "Who else?" It's not Stefan's old thing yet. ”

Kent Tanka poured him a cup of tea, handed it to him, and asked, "Aren't things going well?" ”

Constans II took the tea, took two sips, and said: "The Martel you recommended was really unreliable, and before the matter was clarified, he came out to impeach Stefan, but he was slapped in the face, not only could not deal with others, but also exposed my intentions against him." ”

He told him about the situation in the court today.

Originally, according to the note of the Marquis Marcel, Archduke Stefan was accused of interfering in the legal affairs of the City Hall of Constantinople without authorization and taking away the prisoners who were under the jurisdiction of the Law Department.

The executor came out and said that he had arranged this matter, on the grounds that the Roman Empire and the Great Cannibal were in a state of hostility, and that the Tang Dynasty had come to Constantinople via the Great Eater, and that they were suspected of being spies.

Moreover, there had just been an incident in which someone wanted to kill someone, so in order to investigate the truth of the matter, the judicial officer of the city hall of Constantinople requested that the prisoner be handed over to the military.

The Chancellor presented a memorandum from the Judicial Officer of the City Hall, which contained the signature of the Judicial Officer of Constantinople, as well as the instructions of the Executive Justice, the procedures for the transfer of prisoners by the Judicial Office of Constantinople, etc.

Kent Tanka said hatefully: "Your Majesty, the Executive Justice is obviously in league with this old thing Stefan, and these people are colluding to simply not take you seriously. ”

Constans II also said angrily: "Sooner or later, one day, I will get rid of these traitors who disobey the royal family." ”

Kent Tanka comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, we are still young, don't worry, we have time, I will find a way to help you." ”

Constans II nodded, he looked at the empress, and said with satisfaction: "You are still sensible, and being with you always makes me happy." ”

Kent Tanka received a compliment from Constans II and said happily: "Your Majesty, you are so good to me. As he spoke, he kissed him on the cheek.

In the afternoon, Kent Tanka summoned his personal maid, Parsenti, and said, "Go and ask the Marquis of Huni to come and ask him to come directly to me." ”

Parsenti said worriedly: "Your Highness, let him come here, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be suspicious?" ”

When Kent Tanka decided to use Huni, she had already thought of a solution to this problem, as the queen, everyone was in the spotlight, and sooner or later she would offend some people because of something, and those people would definitely investigate her past affairs, and the previous love affair between her and Huni would also be exposed to the public.

At the beginning of her marriage into the royal palace, her position was not stable, so she deliberately cut off the connection between her and Huni, and now that she has been favored by Constans II, she can calmly deal with it even if someone takes advantage of it.

The reason why Kent Tanka used Huni was because she was from Egypt and had no roots in the court, and she needed to cultivate her cronies, who were both loyal and talented to her, so she was naturally a good candidate, and she was generous in her dealings with Huni, which made her even more open-minded, so that those people could not make a fuss about it.

She shook her head and said, "Don't worry, there is nothing sorry for Your Majesty between me and Huni, I don't need to shy away from it, just be generous, but it will not arouse Your Majesty's suspicion." ”

Parson asked, "What if Your Majesty learns about your past?" ”

The queen smiled: "Don't worry, I have my own way to make Your Majesty trust me." ”

Believing in the cleverness of Queen Kent Tanka, Parsenti said, "Well, the slave will go and ask the Marquis to come and meet her." ”

Huni received an edict from the palace and rode to the palace.

Huni hadn't seen Kent Tanka since she became queen, and his heart pounded at the thought of being able to see Kent Tanka.

After Huni took up his post in the naval command, his colleagues heard that he had not yet been married, and many of them enthusiastically introduced him to some aristocratic ladies. But he couldn't forget Kent Tanka in his heart, so he politely declined.

Huni was very conflicted, he knew that it was no longer possible between him and Kent Tanka, but he still couldn't let go of her in his heart.

In the distance, Huni had already seen the palace, and his heart was full of anticipation.

"Lord Marquis." At this moment, someone was calling him in a carriage parked on the side of the road, and he turned his head to see a woman's face in the carriage window, which turned out to be the Queen's personal maid Parsenti, who was waving to him at this moment.

Huni dismounted, and Parsenti said, "Lord Marquis, come to the carriage, I have something to say to you." ”

Huni got into the carriage, and Parsenti said: "Her Royal Highness the Queen will receive you alone, and after you meet Her Royal Highness, remember the identity of your courtier, and don't mention the past again." ”

Huni was full of enthusiasm, and Parsenti's words seemed to pour cold water on him.

Hu Ni was unwilling, and he asked, "Is it her, oh, is it Her Highness the Queen who said so?" ”

Parsenti nodded affirmatively, and she said, "Her Royal Highness is also in a difficult situation in the palace, please don't trouble her, Lord Marquis." ”

Huni was depressed in his heart, was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay! I'll take notice. ”

Parsenti said, "I will go back to the palace first to tell Your Highness, and you will come back in a quarter of an hour." ”

Huni got out of the carriage and watched it leave. He led the horse, in the shade of the trees on the side of the road, and looked at the gate of the palace in a daze.

Huni arrived at the palace, and the lady-in-waiting, Parsenti, led him over the two palaces to the emperor's bedchamber and into a drawing room.

Huney finally meets Kent Tanka.

Kent Tanka is slightly plump compared to before, and looks graceful and luxurious, more bright and moving. Huni was in a trance and was in a daze for a while.

Parsenti quickly coughed and reminded Huni. Huney came to his senses and hurriedly saluted Kent Tanka.

Kent Tanka instructed the maid to give Huni a seat.

After Huni sat down, he raised his head and looked at Kent Tanka again, he had a stomach to say, but he saw that there were quite a few palace maids around besides Parsenti.

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, Kent Tanka asked, "Lord Marquis, Lord Duke and Madame are all right?" ”
