93. Senate Meeting
Letting Zhu Yue, a monster that is extremely dangerous to humans, roam in Europa, Qi Wuce is not worried, after all, it is far from qualified to exterminate human beings with one Zhu Yue.
Let's not talk about the large number of elderly people in Valhalla, just the few magic envoys wandering around in the human race are enough for Zhu Yue to drink a pot.
Right now, the only thing that troubled Qi Wuce was the death of Claudius, and the time spent on cultivation was undoubtedly precious, at least until he had the strength to suppress Gaia, time was extremely tight for Qi Wuce.
It's just the death of a little-known Roman emperor, and Qi Wuce doesn't want to waste more time on this matter.
staring at the pile of ash in the corner, he began to complain about Zhu Yue in his heart. If you kill someone, you will kill someone, but Zhu Yue's guy still has to break his bones and scatter ashes, isn't this deliberately making trouble for him?
Why don't you just deal with it?
As soon as such a thought arises, it is like a dam bursting, and it is impossible to control it.
After a while, Qi Wuce deliberately tidied up the room, then closed the door and quietly left.
On the second day, Ling Jing was early in the morning.
"Yawn!"
Nero woke up from his sleep and barely got up in a state of sleepiness.
Glancing out the window at the unlit sky, Nero couldn't help but feel irritated that she would not have gotten up from her bed if it weren't for the fact that someone seemed to have something of great importance to report.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he called the maid to wash and change his clothes, and after tidying up, Nero walked out of the room.
Came to the living room casually, because of lack of sleep, Nero at this moment completely lost his former energy.
Glancing impatiently at the herald kneeling on the ground, Nero spoke, "If there is anything to do, tell me quickly, and if it is not important, I will go back and continue to sleep until dawn." ”
The herald didn't care about Nero's absent-minded state, which he had seen many times for him who had visited many powerful people tonight.
In terms of attitude alone, the young Crown Prince was the kindest of the group he visited.
Guys who bother people around in the middle of the night don't get any smiles.
"Your Highness Nero, the Senate will meet at sunrise this morning......"
"Senate? Could it be that the old guys have any new needs? The last time we met was because of the re-enactment of the bill. ”
Nero interrupted the herald, and she hadn't had much of a good opinion of the Senate group.
Several large families, led by those greedy and stubborn old things, have controlled the lifeblood of the whole of Rome for decades, and now they have become the biggest cancer in Rome.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm afraid this time the matter is not what you think, I don't know the specific situation, and I ask you to go to the meeting of the Senate, and someone will be present to announce it."
"Huh? It's kind of interesting. ”
The herald's words brought the half-asleep Nero to his senses, and in the past, the Senate would always convey the purpose of the meeting in advance, but this time it was a mystery.
"Well, stand down, go and get the reward money by the way, you have received the news you conveyed."
gave an order for the herald to leave, and Nero did not forget to win people's hearts by the way.
After a while, Nero waited for Nerva to arrive before going to the venue.
"Your Highness, what do you think is the purpose of this meeting?"
In the spacious carriage, Nerva asked Nero a question.
"Nerva, you should have received a summons over there, right...... Didn't you say that over there? ”
"Yes, Your Highness, this time the Senate seems to have not told the heralds the purpose of the meeting for the sake of secrecy, so there must be something important."
It was already a little dark, and in order to make the light in the carriage better, Nervar pulled up the curtain of the carriage window.
"By the way, didn't His Highness call Qi Wuceqing to go to the meeting together?"
Unable to see the unfortunate Qi who had been with Nero for the previous few months, Nerva asked Nero this question out of curiosity.
"Qi Wuceqing is probably already very tired from yesterday's battle, and Yu doesn't want to interrupt his rest time.
As for the purpose of the Senate, you should be able to know it when you get to the venue, and since even Nerva's family has been notified, I'm afraid it ......."
Thinking of Qi Wuce, who left last night because he claimed to be temporary, and remembering what he said to her before leaving, Nero's heart couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom.
But don't let him have an accident......
Early morning was not yet the time for Rome to show its prosperity to the rest of the world, so the speed of the carriage in the empty streets was kept at a slow pace.
Occasionally, a few patrols with torches could be seen wandering around the deserted streets, and the deserted environment added to Nero's worries.
After a while, the number of carriages on the street gradually increased, and each carriage here had the same destination - the conference hall.
Nerva and Nero stepped out of the carriage, surrounded by the magnates who entered the venue one after another.
As the crown prince, Nero's status was naturally superior to those who came and went, so when she and Nerva got out of the carriage, a special person stepped forward to lead them to the fast lane.
The seats in the conference hall were arranged in rows of arcs, and the more powerful the people, the more advanced they were.
In the front row of the room, a woman with a face somewhat similar to Nero was talking to the people around her with a sad face.
"Queen Mother, I've come to see you."
A voice from behind her drew the woman's attention.
When he saw the person behind him, his originally sad face suddenly became sad, and his red eyes were almost about to leave tears.
"O my daughter! Your father ...... him."
Embracing Nero into her arms, as if she had found a pillar to lean on, the woman wept silently in front of the crowd.
This woman was none other than Nero's mother, Agrippina the Younger.
Nero silently hugged his mother, but there was a complex hatred hidden in his eyes.
In the eyes of outsiders, this heartwarming scene is not as touching as it seems. Nero hated her mother, but was grateful for her.
To be able to have such a position that no one else could achieve in his life today, Nero knew very well in his heart who he should be thankful for, and it was the little Agrippina who embraced her and wept.
God knows how much it will cost a woman with only beauty to climb all the way to the position of queen in this Roman high society where interests are entangled.
It is precisely because of the hardships of understanding this that Nero will be grateful for this mother who did not hesitate to poison himself to control him.
