Chapter II 1893

Berlin, Second German Empire, late October 1893.

The evening breeze howls and rolls up the dead leaves in the sky, making a rustling sound on the streets made of bluestone slabs. The bright moon had been heavily obscured by the thick black clouds, and only for a brief moment when the dark clouds were blown away by the night wind could a ray of clear light shine on the earth.

The sky is not beautiful, and I haven't seen the moon and stars for several nights. Citizens are reluctant to travel at night in the cold winds of late autumn, which undoubtedly affects the vitality of the main city of Berlin at night. As soon as the Imperial Clock Tower sounded nine sounds, most of the shops in Berlin were closed, and even the most prosperous street under Linden Linden was still open. Passers-by walked through the street, all in a hurry, in a hurry; Occasionally, a few customers came, and the amount of money sold was pitiful.

However, after all, the closed doors are all private commercial ports, such as police stations, casinos, brothels and other places, whether it is in the morning or midnight, they are all brightly lit. The Royal General Hospital in Berlin is one of those units that is concerned with people's livelihood, and is manned 24 hours a day. This four-storey building, built during the reign of William I, is located just one street away from the Royal Palace. In this way, members of the royal family who suddenly fall ill can be treated quickly, and they will not worry about the flow of people affecting the peace of the palace.

But at this moment, if someone is interested in taking a closer look, they will see some unusual clues from the black four-wheeled car with the royal family crest parked in the hospital gate.

Beige walls, snow-colored lights. In the two adjacent intensive care rooms, a group of doctors in white coats have solemn faces, and nurses push various equipment and potions in and out from time to time. In the corridor outside the door, a graceful lady was lying on a bench and crying, her voice choked; Next to her, there sat a man in the prime of life with a pale-faced face, looking at everyone who came in and out of the room with hatred. The surrounding doctors and guards did not dare to touch the eyes of the man in his prime, lest this powerful man turn into a killer star and do something crazy.

"My son, why could such a thing happen! Woowoo...... Ahem, cough ......" The cry of the graceful young woman echoed in the corridor, mixed with breathless coughing and wheezing, those who heard it wept, and those who saw it were sad. The middle-aged man clenched his fists, his eyes breathed fire, and he suddenly grabbed the coffee cup next to him, and smashed it with a "pop"!

When the guards and the doctor saw the eyes of the middle-aged man who wanted to kill, their hearts were filled with a complete fear, and they couldn't help but retreat back, only a thin figure shrouded in a trench coat did not move. The man in the prime of life said word for word with syllables that almost popped out of his teeth: "You'd better hand back my two sons intact!" Otherwise, I will send you all to the most savage West Africa, so that you will be accompanied by poisonous insects and beasts all day long, have you heard?! ”

The doctors and nurses in the corridor turned pale, and the chickens nodded their heads again and again, crying bitterly in their hearts. The middle-aged man was angry, his face turned red, if it weren't for the need to ensure absolute silence in the medical process, and he would have scolded him with his character, would he still be so angry and hurt his lungs like now?

"Jingle bell!" A tight alarm bell rang out abruptly in the hallway, and the faces of the medical staff in the hallway turned pale. The door to the intensive care unit on the left was pushed open, and several nurses rushed out with a trooley with unknown equipment, and then snatched another trolley parked outside the door and rushed in. The man in the prime of life and the graceful young woman were all excited, and looked at the door with nervousness, and their hearts were in their throats; But it's full of faint white coats, where can you see the slightest figure of your child?

The anomaly didn't last long before the cacophony of bells subsided. The door opened, the people parted, and a Mediterranean walked out with heavy steps. He slowly took off the large mask on his face, revealing a wrinkled old face, and whispered to the couple in front of him: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the arms of the Holy Angel Michael, and I also ask Your Majesty and the Empress to mourn." ”

The blue eyes of the man in the prime of life suddenly turned blood-red, and his eyes were about to split; He grabbed the old doctor by the collar and hissed, "What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot!" My crown prince, how is it possible? How can it be! Give me a rule, go and give me a rule! Speaking of the last sentence, the man in the prime of life was already hysterical, shaking the body of the old man in front of him frantically.

Mediterranean was old and frail, and when he was tossed by a man in the prime of life, he felt that his bones were about to fall apart. He endured the severe pain and said intermittently: "All the medical staff of our hospital have done their best to save the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but there is really nothing they can do!" ”

"You fart!" The middle-aged man could no longer suppress the monstrous anger in his heart, and finally broke out completely, roaring sharply, "When August was sent, there were no scorched black wounds around him, even if he fainted, how could he return to the arms of the Holy Angel like this!" It must be caused by your group of quacks who don't know how to learn and treat indiscriminately! ”

The old doctor coughed a few times and said in a dumb voice: "Your Majesty! Both Highnesses were struck by thunder under the Brandenburg Gate, and it is already a miracle that they were not reduced to ashes on the spot! Although there were no traumatic injuries, hundreds of thousands of volts of voltage had already taken an incalculable toll on their brain waves; Even the most brilliant doctor in the world is incurable! We have tried all the means, but we have not been able to save the crown prince from brain death, and I would like to ask Your Majesty and the Queen to mourn. ”

Hearing the old doctor tell the news of her child's death, the graceful young woman screamed miserably, and collapsed on the bench, unconscious. The nurses around her were scrambling, scrambled to find an ambulance, and then quickly pushed her into the side room. When the middle-aged man heard the bad news, his eyes were also dark, and he staggered back a few steps; A group of guards hurriedly went up to help, but he screamed and pushed them away. He propped himself up against the wall with his right hand, gasped for a moment, and said astringently, "The immeasurable consequences for their brain waves? That is, not only August, but also Etter will die? ”

The hoarse voice of the middle-aged man sounded slowly in the corridor, and everyone shuddered in their hearts; At this time, who would dare to touch this moldy head and answer the emperor's words? The doctors looked at each other, and the old doctor said stubbornly: "Things haven't come to that point yet, we are supervising the whole process of the Second Highness; The second prince Ji Ren Tianxiang, I believe he will get better. ”

The man in the prime of life clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh; After a few moments, he let out a beast-like roar, then slowly closed his eyes and said nothing.

————————————————————————

The rapid and piercing bell rang again in this space, and the police light on the right ward shone red, illuminating the faces of everyone present. The paramedic in the hallway scurried up again, rubber wheels running over the wooden floor, making a bone-chilling sound. The man in the prime of life stood silently as if he had heard nothing; The thin figure with his whole body hidden under the trench coat glanced back at him, only to find that the corners of his eyes had reflected a little bit of light.

The thin figure moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something consoling, but he froze for a long time, but only let out a helpless sigh. Some things can be comforted, and some things can only fade slowly with the passage of time!

"Hudson." The middle-aged man turned his back, and his hoarse voice, mixed with hurried footsteps and the hissing of the alarm bell, looked particularly gloomy and worried, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will tell the world, you tell Aleman, let him ...... Let him prepare for August and Etter. ”

"Yes." The emaciated figure replied in a low voice.

The door slammed open. The middle-aged man's ears moved, his back was turned to the old doctor who walked out, and he said in a dumb voice: "Say, I can stand it." ”

"Your Majesty, the Holy Angel has mercy, and the second prince is fine!" Mediterranean excitement authentic.

The middle-aged man said quietly: "It's back, let's return." One day, I will return to the arms of the Holy Angel Michael......" His voice suddenly decreased, and the expression on his face froze: "What did you just say? ”

With three points of joy and seven points of joy, Mediterranean said again: "Your Majesty, the Holy Angel has mercy, and the second prince is fine!" ”

The middle-aged man turned around, tears still stained on his face, and suddenly like a wild beast, he picked up everyone and strode towards the ward. The doctors didn't expect him to go straight to the intensive care unit, and they were caught off guard, so they were driven straight by him; By the time they reacted, the man in the prime of life had already fought his way through the bloody path to the bed.

A boy in his early 10s was lying on a hospital bed, and more than a dozen pipes of different colors were inserted or wound around him, looking along the pipes, and the ends of these things were connected to seven or eight various instruments next to him. His facial features were exquisite, his eyes were closed, and his face was sickly pale; A colorless, transparent visor snapped to his nose and the end was tightly attached to a large blue tin can.

The old doctor coughed and said, "Although I understand His Majesty's feelings very well, I still need to explain something to His Majesty. In order to prevent foreign germs from harming patients, all people entering this intensive care unit must have their clothes strictly disinfected beforehand; Your Majesty has suddenly entered now, and if you stay here for too long, I'm afraid it will hurt the life of the second prince! ”

The man in the prime of life woke up like a dream, wiped his face without a trace, and then quietly exited the room. Looking at Kaiser Wilhelm II, a man in the prime of life who had regained his senses, the old doctor's hanging heart finally relaxed; Although only one survived, he and other ambulance workers should not have to be assigned to West Africa.
