Now that you are looking for someone, there is indeed a high chance that something will happen. Linton and Princess Arran cleaned up a little and soon arrived at the palace.

At this time, there were still a large number of ministers at the gate of the palace, everyone already knew the news, and now they were all anxious to know the situation of the crown prince, after all, if the empire loses an heir, the impact is indeed too great. However, it was obvious that everyone had been stopped at the door, but Linton and the others had easily entered the palace, and no one dared to stop the Imperial Princess's car.

In the apse, Linton and Arlan saw the somewhat decadent Emperor Wigley, the other party's eyes were a little bloodshot, it was certain that he hadn't slept all night, and his mental state was also a little sluggish, it seemed that his only son had an accident, and he was also very seriously hit by the spirit, and the whole person looked like a balloon with air leakage.

Seeing her father like this, Princess Yalan here is also a little distressed, but it is not Wigley's situation that needs more attention now. Try to see Wigley appear here, Princess Arlan also has some guesses, now the location of the three of them is the emperor's study, not in the previous Damion's ward, if there is no accident, now Wigley should not leave there, and now ......

"Father, brother's situation ......"

"Hmm......" Wigley nodded slightly, such a simple gesture, as if it had taken all his strength, "just ......"

Damion really died of his injuries, which is not unexpected, after all, Linton also saw his injuries, and if he can be saved like this, there will be ghosts, and Pope San Reno has already been sentenced to death. It's just that Linton didn't expect the other party to die so quickly, and he stopped cooking after just one night's work.

Princess Yalan showed a somewhat sad expression, but she didn't leave any tears, the relationship between the two was not good or bad, it was more like a stranger. Yes, the number of times the two met was pitiful, although they were a family, they were not as close as the maid under Princess Yalan.

It is obvious that the news of Damion's death has not yet spread, and the group of ministers who are still surrounding outside can explain the situation, and at this time, Wigley must have found Princess Arlan and Linton, there must be something.

"Condolences, Emperor." Of course, Linton didn't feel anything, this brother-in-law was still thinking about destroying his wedding yesterday, and he really deserved it, but Damion was also Wigley's biological son, and Linton could feel Wigley's grief, "Regarding this matter, is there any result of Your Majesty's investigation?" ”

At present, it is difficult to say whether this matter is an accident or not, although Linton feels that it is very likely to be a conspiracy, but there is no evidence, and he is too lazy to investigate, anyway, Wigley will definitely pursue it to the end. Sure enough, hearing Linton's words, Wigley here nodded: "This matter is not a simple accident, it was secretly arranged by someone, but there is no evidence of who it is." ”

"But there's already speculation?" Linton asked. It is definitely quite difficult to find evidence for the assassination of the prince, and the other party is not a fool, so it must be arranged foolproof. It is estimated that most of the people involved in this matter should be killed, even if they want to investigate, it will take a long time, and it is impossible for Wigley to investigate anything in one night.

"Hmm......" Wigley nodded again, "Come to think of it, there are only two possibilities for people who can do this, one is your Merloway family, and the other is the Duke of Norberley." ”

"Father......" Princess Yalan on this side wanted to explain, but before she could speak, she was stopped by Wigley.

"Linton. Merlowe, let me ask you, did your family kill my son? Wigley's tired face showed a serious expression, and he looked at Linton and asked seriously.

"I know why you doubt us, after all, our family did have a conflict with your son, and now he is a beneficiary." Linton said, "But you should have guessed it yourself, or you wouldn't have called us here." I'll just say a very simple reason, judging from the current investigation, this assassination is very prepared, right, the prince will appear over there, someone must have arranged it, so if I did it, would I still need to assassinate him? ”

"Huh?" Wigley was stunned.

"You know, yesterday the prince was ready to ride into my wedding. I, as a great saint-level, was disturbed at the wedding, even if the other party was a prince, I directly beheaded him on the spot, what can you say? Looking for me to settle accounts? Linton spread his hands and said, "Got it?" If it was done by our family, there was no need to assassinate at all, as long as I instigated the prince to rush into my wedding, I would directly have a formal reason to hack him to death, and engaging in some small actions would affect my reputation, because of this, do you still think that this matter was done by someone from our family? ”

Linton's words are reasonable, yes, Wigley's suspicion of Linton was not very high, and now there are two suspects, he is naturally more suspicious of the Duke of Norberley, who has always had a very bad relationship with him, Linton is also his savior after all, he originally believed in this side, of course he believed in it, and he still had to ask. However, Linton's words dispelled his doubts, and he did think that there was nothing wrong with what Linton said.

"So...... Did the Duke of Norberley do it......" Wigley nodded, and Linton noticed that his hand was squeezing the corner of the table next to him, and although his expression was not very obvious, he could still feel his anger.

If the Emperor could also help deal with the Duke of Lower Norberley, then things would be even more convenient, Linton thought for a moment and asked, "Does Your Majesty have any thoughts on the new heir?" ”

"A new heir?" Wigley said and looked at Princess Arlan next to him, and sighed, "It doesn't matter, Fura or Arran, if any of you want to sit on this throne, take it, I'm tired." ”

"Father......" Yalan looked at this Wigley with some surprise, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

"In the fourteen years since I succeeded to the throne, I have been trembling on thin ice, as the emperor of the empire, I want my subjects to live a rich life, I really want to do something for them, but in the past fourteen years, what I have done is to constantly compete for power and profit with the ministers below, intriguing." "But after all these years, what have I gained? My wife's betrayal, and now my children have lost their lives because of the struggle, and now I feel that it would be good if it wasn't me who succeeded to the throne back then, but Leon. ”

Wigley's words, Linton felt should be sincere. It seems that the repeated blows these days have made Wigley a little disheartened, Wigley seems to really want to be a good emperor, but unfortunately his ability is limited, he does not have enough coercion, the ministers below are constantly looking for trouble, even the queen betrayed him, and now the only son is dead, such a blow is enough to crush a person, even if he is the emperor.

It was the first time for Arlan to see such a Wigley, and he even felt a little pitiful, but he wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak. Just about to try to speak, he was directly stopped by Linton next to him. Linton knew that what Wigley needed now was not sympathy, especially for his daughter.

That's all Wigley said, and he soon let Linton and Arlan go. Walking out of the apse of the palace, Princess Yalan here was a little surprised, she felt that she didn't know much about her father, and her father didn't seem to be doing well over the years, and there were many things she didn't know. Although she did complain that her father had cared for her too little over the years, now that she thinks about it, it was Wigley who shielded her a lot of wind and rain, so that she could grow up steadily.

"In short, it can be regarded as getting the emperor's approval." Linton next to him said suddenly.

"Huh?" Princess Yalan was slightly stunned.

"The emperor said that it doesn't matter, he just let us solve the Duke of Norberley's meaning." Linton said, "My meaning is already obvious, and your father understands it, he probably can't wait for the investigation or something, new hatred and old hatred, anyway, let's solve this Duke of Norberley first." ”

"That's what Father meant?" Princess Arran asked.

"Of course, the emperor doesn't talk about other aspects, at least the political aspect is still relatively sharp. He must have seen the current situation, one of our Merlowe family and the Norberley family must be on the throne, he felt that he couldn't hold it down, and he was not in the mood to continue, so he let us take it easy. Compared to the Duke of Norberley, at least they have a good relationship with our family, and no matter what they mean, they are already supporting us. Linton said.

"Really?" Princess Arran nodded.

"If you really want to do anything for your father, you should let him retire early." Linton said, "Are you really thinking about becoming an empress? ”

"I really didn't think about it...... "it came so fast, and I'm still a little confused about it." And I don't think I'm a good candidate. ”

"Isn't this with my help, if you really want to be, at least you can do a little better than what your father did, not to mention anything else, there should be no problem in unifying the entire Terran Empire." Linton said, "If you achieve this during your tenure, you will win glory for your family." ”

"You know how to govern the country?" Princess Arran asked.

"No, but I'm good at fighting." Linton said.

"I ...... Suddenly I felt unreliable. Princess Arran suddenly sharpened.

"Forget it, let this matter go first, for now, let's solve the problem of the Duke of Norberley first, who will be the emperor after that, your father will continue to be re-elected, or your sister, or you, anyway, it's all a family, sit down and have a meeting to solve it." Linton said.
