Chapter 6: The Flower of the Empire in the Dungeon

"Yes, the prince's plan to buy my male master has begun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info So the queen you must be steady, once my male master masters Miyagi, he will naturally protect you and help you. But now the safety of other people is really beyond our influence, even His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"But my husband once insulted Mikhail and Yudohya."

"Please don't be suspicious, this is not only my master's idea, but also your daughter and son-in-law's request."

"Gawain and Anna." Erin leaned back in her chair in surprise.

In the dark, Belia nodded, "So no matter what the prince says or does, you have to pretend to be confused and obedient." ”

At this time, the queen slowly sat back and smiled bitterly, "Of course, I have been in this court for twenty years, like a walking corpse, isn't this what I am best at doing such things?" In this life, the rest of my wish is to see Anna again, to see Gawain, and to see their children. O Virgin Mary! ”

As soon as the Empress had finished praying for the help of the Virgin, there was a faint light of fire and shouts from outside the palace of Brachna, as if many people were fighting and fighting near the old walls of Constantine.

"I have to go. Your Majesty, please remember my master's words and take care. Belia covered her head again, and it was then that Irene realized that she was wearing a nun's robe, and the maid took her leave.

When Belia had just left under the guidance of her maid, the early morning light slowly rose from the long window carved with lily patterns, and Irene's somewhat tired face was illuminated even more miserably - the sound of boots outside sounded intensively, and soon her son John, followed by Mikhail, the chief of the guard, who had been snubbed by the Emperor, and many Varangian guards with terrible beards. Of course, the Danes and Saxons, armed with axes and swords, stood in the courtyard of the palace, so frightened that the queen's maids and eunuchs shivered in the corners.

"Mother, as soon as I returned from my grandmother's place, I learned that the slaves of the orphanage had joined forces with many Athletic mobs to start a riot. Thanks to the timely suppression by the chief of the guard and the outer palace guards, the entire imperial capital is now safe. I came to visit my mother and Adyoan as soon as I could. The prince stood outside the arch and said respectfully.

Erin calmed down, she was now calm, even now she was able to deal with her husband who had fled from the battlefield of Philo Melron, "John, you have improved your rhetoric a lot now, not at all like when you were a child." ”

Hearing his mother's words, John's face suddenly flashed with the joy of a child's praise, and then Erin continued, "Thank you so much for your concern and loyalty to the head of the guard, my mother was so frightened that I couldn't sleep last night, and now I can sleep peacefully with Adeyo." ”

"But Mother...... It is said that the riot in the orphanage was instigated by someone behind the scenes. Just as Erin got up and was about to leave, the prince suddenly threw out such a topic.

Erin was stunned for a moment, then remembered Belia's request, and then looked at the eyes of the chief of the guard behind her son, as if she suddenly remembered something, "I remember, yesterday a messenger came to Zaifu's mansion, talked to me for a while, and left, in which the messenger actually mentioned the need to mobilize the people in the orphanage to add the guarding force to the Brachna Palace. ”

Immediately afterwards, the prince instructed the outer palace guards to break into the official residence of the empire, and quickly arrested a large number of officials and nobles who had just begun to work, and then another group of guards rushed to the courtyard of the imperial lord Beriel, and kept knocking on the heavy door, and when no one came to open the door for a long time, they raised their long axes in a rage and began to chop the latch.

The sound of doom passed through the elegant and beautiful home garden of Zaifu and reached the living room, while the slaves and their families were shouting and screaming in horror, but Beriel stood indifferently in front of the wall mirror as usual, elegantly and slowly dressing himself in a gold silk jacket, which was a symbol of the status of the nobles and bureaucrats of the highest rank in the empire, and said to the servants with a smile, "That group of outer palace guards will finally be able to enter the palace soon, and the salary will be doubled, after all, the prince has spent a lot of effort to buy them." Mikhail, the son of a lowly Pavlagonian peasant, could not have come together with us after all. ”

"Master......" the slave was so frightened that he cried.

John had no tangible evidence in his hands. Moreover, I was a protégé of Prosses, Siriphinus, and Maupoulos, and I was a true flower of the empire in rhetoric, literature, and administration, and I had worked faithfully for so many years, and the officials admired me wholeheartedly. ”

As soon as Zaisuke finished speaking, the door was violently slammed open, and the soldiers of the outer palace guards who were covered in armor like scales and monsters rushed in, and Beriel stood in front of them very calmly, and then said to his family with a smile and confidence, "Today's work may be special, but don't worry!" I'll come back for dinner in the evening as I always do. ”

Of course, Burrier's oath was not kept, and as soon as the "Imperial Flower" was captured by the Guards, it was thrown directly into the most terrifying and gloomy dungeon of Brachna Palace, where dinner was damp and muddy.

What kind of rule is this, how dare you lock up the most honored officials and the highest-ranking nobles of the empire here! Burrill protested angrily, but the surrounding cages were filled with mourning, mixed with the torture and shouting of the jailers, and through the narrow gap between the iron bars, Buriel's secretly observed eyes quickly turned terrified: most of those who were arrested were imperial officials......

Before Burriel could come up with anything, he saw a group of people slowly walking along the winding dark corridor, carrying various torture instruments in their hands, as if they were coming for his "high prison".

"This is where the former Ducasse Caesar of the Empire is kept......" Burriel was so frightened by this sentence that he shrank back and collapsed to the ground—only then did he realize that there was a hunchbacked old jailer sitting beside the cell, squinting his eyes like a gray mouse, showing his mutilated and disgusting teeth, pointing to the chair behind Zaisuke, and continued slowly, "It is in this chair that Caesar is blinded by the Venetian glass mirror......"

"Ahhhh Jaesuke huddled in the cell, letting out a terrible wail.

The Crown Prince of the Executive, who was extremely ruthless, bypassed any court and procedure directly, first relying on the testimony of the Empress and the chief of the guard to accuse the Imperial Zaifu of rebellion, and then tortured some Imperial officials who were imprisoned in the dungeon, and "collected" the relevant evidence; Soon Berriel "confessed" to his crimes, and confessed that "my mastermind behind this is the Imperial Penipastosnikiphros. Brenus, and his wife, Princess Dedot, in purple. Komnenos". (To be continued.) )
