"What? What happened? You're hurting me! This grip was not light, so Lickinia couldn't help it, and quickly withdrew her hand, and then looked at Luga with an angry face while rubbing the back of her hand with a large red mark.

"What's wrong? What happened? Tenaia looked at Luga, she didn't react as much as Lickinia, which was not surprising, after all, she was a commoner woman, but she was not as pampered as Lickinia.

She endured the pain in silence, looking at Luga with concern in her eyes, and at the thin beads of sweat on his forehead.

At this time, she saw Liquinia pull a handkerchief from the side and throw it on Luga's lap, and she was so angry that she continued to say to Luga: "Take it, wipe the sweat from your forehead, oh my God, as Augustus, you are so embarrassed, even a drama will scare you to death!" ”

Although it was a rebuke, he threw the handkerchief on Luga's lap very honestly.

"Ah, thank you, I must have thought of the scene at that time, or I was a little scared in my heart." Luga smiled and defended herself, reaching out for the handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"You're the winner!" Likinia snorted coldly, and then said, "I didn't expect that as a winner, you would act as ridiculous as a loser. ”

"Well, well, it's all my fault, yes, oh my God, I don't know how, why did I become so cowardly and don't understand, I just hope that a war like this never happens again!" Luga defended herself, then hurriedly got up and said to Tenaia and Licinia, "I suddenly find that I have a lot of important things to do, so I have to leave, sorry, please forgive me for leaving." ”

After saying that, Luga kissed Likinia and Tenaya on the foreheads respectively, as an apology.

His departure was very hasty, and it could even be said that it was an unwise decision to leave the two women behind, at least Liquinia and Tenaia could not get along well in any way.

Luga got up to leave, and the action that both of them wanted to save fully exposed the hearts of the two of them.

Of course, compared to Tenaia, Likinia obviously has a very strong desire to attack, and she does not hide her dissatisfaction with Tenaia at all, only to see her sitting on the side of her seat and staring at Tenaia and her child Adernus.

Tenea could not, and could only take Adernus in her arms, protecting Adernus like a hen protecting her chicks from seeing Richina's terrifying expression.

Compared with Lickinia, a descendant of the Purple Chamber, although Tenaia is Augusta, she has no actual political capital except for the empty name of Augusta, and she is just a commoner, and her status may not even be comparable to the maid who serves her living next to Licina.

The inferiority complex that comes with her since birth makes Tenaya naturally afraid to confront Licinia, her idea is very simple, that is, she can't let Licinia hurt her child Adenus.

And it is precisely because of Tenea's concession that Tenaia has an absolute advantage in momentum, and she puts on a domineering appearance in front of Tenaia, but Tenaia has no other way but to avoid it.

"This stuff really isn't interesting." Seeing that Tenaia had no intention of going toe-to-toe with her, Leekinia instantly felt that there was no point in continuing to make trouble, at least not today.

She got up and glanced at Tenaia, who was bowing her head and hugging Adnus, for some reason, her heart was always unhappy, why could she be with her own children, not without children!

Thinking of this, Liekinia couldn't help but think of Yudoria, the poor girl, who was now almost the size of the little rabbit cub in Tenaia's arms.

How could this pampered princess endure others having things she didn't have?

Likinia glared at Tenaia indignantly, then turned to the attendants behind her and said, "I don't like this weather, the sun makes me uncomfortable, I have to go back to bathe, and. ”

When she said this, she looked back at Tenaia and said unhurriedly, "I'll go to Caesar, who is fascinated by my peculiar scent!" ”

Seeing that Tenaia still didn't move, Likinia snorted coldly and secretly scolded in her heart: pretend to be calm. Then he took all the waiters and left, leaving only the actors who were still performing on the stage of the theater and the mother and son who were snuggling up to each other offstage.

In the chamber of the palace, Luga reconvened the various high-ranking courtiers so that even such an important event as marriage could not distract him for a moment.

"Valentinian has emboldened himself to depose me from the dominion of the lands that I belong to in the whole of Rome in the west." Luga couldn't help but let out a sneer as he weighed the parchment roll in his hand.

"Now, Aetius has become the most powerful man in all of Western Rome." The governor of the court, Jovian, stood not far away and said to Luga in a deep voice: "Valentinian has no autonomy at all, especially after Liquinia divorced him, everyone saw that he had lost his support, like a bear with no combat power and a huge skin. ”

"At least he has one more thing that will protect his life, and that is his surname, Flavies' surname, and his bloodline." Luga sat on the throne with his hands crossed, thought for a moment and then said: "The senators of Rome do not think that he is useless now, at least the small gap now may turn around in the future, everyone is for this, after all, it is always better to stay in a place of high power for a long time than to be taken lightly and not taken seriously." ”

"Then Aetius can't be so laissez-faire in controlling the situation in the western court, after all, this should return to the rule of Flavies, and not let others become the rulers hidden in the shadows."

"It's already a problem we can't control, Jovian." Luga sighed lightly, "We always aim at all the nobles and warlords who try to control the situation, but we forget whether the person who actually sits in that position is suitable or not. ”

"Caesar, do you mean that you want to find someone who can replace Valentinian?"

"No, no, no, that's not our concern, Lord Jovian." Luga shook his hand at Jovian, and said unhurriedly: "There are many people who want to kill Valentinian, and their motive is just to get my approval, after all, the complicated situation in the west is not something we can directly intervene in, such as going with the flow and spending more energy to pay attention to the opponent in the east." ”

Hearing Luga's words made Jovian nod his head repeatedly, and now the entire upper echelons of Constantinople understood that since the death of Theodosius II, who was related to Sassanid, the so-called bond of peace no longer existed.

Tenaia took Adenus back to her side palace, well, she had to admit that the wedding was like a formality, what it was, and what it is now.

After getting out of the carriage, Tenaia saw the figure pacing back and forth in front of the door, she was a little puzzled, and walked in to take a look, "Huh? Andrew, why are you here? ”

"Oh, oh! Yes, yes, ma'am! Andrew smiled at Tenea, nervous. Madame, I have something to say to you. ”
