1722 Hope for the Kingdom
A drop of cold sweat hung on Xia Xin's forehead, and a few thoughts instantly turned in his mind, and he quickly explained, "Lord Duke, this is a misunderstanding......
Duke Charles asked rhetorically, "What misunderstanding?" ”
“……”
Xia Xin's heart was beating wildly, and he didn't know how to explain it, but after a pause, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head, and changed his words, "No, it's not a misunderstanding, this is what she handed me over, and the Duke already knows what is inside." ”
"Oh?" Duke Charlie looked at Xia Xin suspiciously.
Xia Xin replied very calmly, "Because, normal people think it is a handkerchief or cloth at first glance, and in this case, they usually choose to grab it with their hands, or hold it with both hands, and the duke used his thumb and index finger at the beginning to hold the corner and grab it in a way that touches as little as possible, because the duke thinks that he should not touch his daughter's private belongings." ”
Duke Charlie smiled and said, "Reaction...... Not bad. ”
It's kind of calm.
When a normal person encounters this situation, he must be flustered.
"This is a gift given to her by her mother on the day she became an adult, which is a custom in our hometown, and it is also the last gift her mother gave, which has a special meaning for her."
So Duke Charles guessed what was inside at the beginning.
"Just a little joke."
With a word, the duke took what had just happened.
Xia Xin didn't say much, he knew that the other party was testing his reaction, brain, thinking, and testing his ability, and he was not qualified enough for this time.
"Lord Duke, time is running out, I know you must be waiting for an opportunity, absolutely no one is more qualified than me for this opportunity, this is your chance, and it is also my chance."
The Duke smiled faintly, "You're good, it's just ...... Too impatient. ”
Xia Xin replied bluntly, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper, maybe it's because this matter is very important to me, and if I miss this opportunity, it will be fatal to me." ”
Xia Xin knew that the Duke was also waiting for someone, waiting for someone who could break the game, otherwise he wouldn't let Amelia take the video to someone for help.
It's the same as bait fishing, people who have the same purpose will naturally take the bait.
And he is in prison, but with evidence in hand, he can naturally only let others help him.
Moreover, the main witness is him, and if he stays here, the other party will also relax his vigilance and turn his attention to him, which will be more convenient for people outside.
Duke Charlie leaned back, leaned back in his chair, looked Xia Xin up and down, and after a while, he pointed his index finger on the table and said, "Indeed, there is no more suitable person than you, what is your purpose?" ”
"Kill the Four Princes!"
Xia Xin replied very bluntly, and he didn't plan to turn around.
No time!
"Okay, you're very frank, so you know, what is the main problem right now?"
Xia Xin replied quickly, "It is the approval of Her Royal Highness the Queen, although Her Royal Highness is dissatisfied with the practices of the four princes, but the talents of the three princes are limited, and the four princes are the most suitable heirs for this country, so although she has differences of opinion with the four princes, they will eventually form a unity under the general trend." ”
Duke Charles touched his beard and was noncommittal, "This is true, a normal idea, but if it will be unified in the end, then why doesn't Her Royal Highness kill me?" ”
Xia Xin replied, "Because you have made military exploits for the empire in the past and done a lot of things for Her Royal Highness the Queen, the queen is grateful for the old feelings, and even she feels that the fourth prince's insistence on killing you is a provocation to her dignity." ”
“……”
Duke Charles shook his head lightly, and said with some disappointment, "It seems that you still don't understand, in front of the royal family, there is no merit, and there is no hard work, these are not worth mentioning in front of power." ”
“……”
"You have one more chance to answer, think carefully before answering."
Xia Xin could clearly feel that Duke Charles was a little disappointed with his immature ideas.
Did you think something wrong?
Xia Xin knew that if he made another mistake in answering, then today would be over, and even this matter would end here.
The other party obviously has something to do by himself, but he can't easily entrust it to himself, and the other party has passed repeated tests to examine his own ability.
Xia Xin's mind turned sharply, dozens of thoughts flashed in his mind in an instant, and his forehead was even more cold sweat.
This is an important question.
Duke Charles replied lightly, "Did you figure it out?" If you don't know, please go back. ”
“…… Because of the need. ”
Xia Xin suddenly spoke loudly, "Everything you did in the past is shit in the eyes of the current authorities, the royal family has no feelings, the reason why I didn't kill you is because I still need you, and the future of the kingdom still needs you to do things for her." ”
"You are the first one who dares to compare what I have done in the past to shit," Duke Charles sneered, spread out one hand, and motioned to the next word, "Go on!" ”
Xia Xin continued, "This future must not be the future of the queen's reign, but the future of other people's reigns, this future needs your help, and it is precisely because of your need that the queen does not allow the four princes to kill you." ”
"Then in the queen's heart, it is likely that there is another candidate to succeed to the throne, this person should not be the third prince, but someone I don't know, after that person succeeds to the throne, he will need your help very much, so the queen will not let you die."
"She will protect you, and your actions have angered the four princes, and the four princes want to kill you, and at the same time, the four princes know the queen's thoughts, and they can't keep you, and you left yourself in the detention center, and insisted on accusing the four princes, which also intensified the contradictions between them, resulting in the two of them gradually becoming a fire and water."
"I think your purpose should be to ask for the people's life, force the four princes to hold back their actions, and then intensify the conflict, either you die, or let Her Royal Highness the Queen personally drive him out of power and end the evil deeds of the four princes."
“……”
Charlie clapped his hands, and looked at Xia Xin's gaze, obviously with a little more praise, "It's wonderful, you are the most outstanding young man I have ever met except for the fourth prince." ”
"That's right, it's not because of nostalgia for the old love, since it's the old love, it's naturally long gone, and it's only because I need you under the interests, so I won't kill you, that's all."
Duke Charlie's answer made Xia Xin's eyes widen suddenly, "You mean, Her Royal Highness the Queen has also prepared a backhand, and she has a more suitable heir?" ”
Duke Charlie shook his head, "No, the talent and talent of the fourth prince are rare for a thousand years, and there will be no more suitable heir than him, which really makes him add a lot of points in the queen's mind." ”
"The only mistake he made was ......"
Duke Charlie said, leaned towards Xia Xin's side, and said in a low voice, "His only mistake is that he is not a girl, which is very deductible." ”
Xia Xin came back to his senses after being stunned for a long time, "Her Royal Highness the Queen is...... Feminists? She wants a woman, no, wants a princess to succeed her? Continue to be queen and don't want the prince to succeed as emperor? ”
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just an option to deduct points."
Duke Charlie smiled meaningfully, "That's also a question you should think about, time is running out, I'll hand over some things to you first." ”
As he spoke, he took off a small ring on his tail finger and handed it to Xia Xin, "I've seen the video." ”
"Yes."
"What do you think?"
"That video should be taken by a person, with a tiny camera in his eyes, until he goes crazy, and I'm curious, since he himself is crazy, how did this video get to you."
"That's right, this person is one of my right-hand men, and it's a pity that he died generously for the sake of the people, as for the research institute, there are also people from me, and he gave me the video."
"He is a witness himself, and he has absolute evidence in his hands, but he can't get out, that place is a military base, and the guards are extremely tight, and someone needs to take him out."
Xia Xin's heart was half cold when he heard this.
Military bases?
How much military power is distributed here, a few people go over, it's like tickling.
There are a bunch of tanks at any time, and missiles blow you to smithereens.
Duke Charles lowered his voice and secretly explained some of Xia Xin's contact codes and precautions.
Then there is the second thing, which is about the queen, then Xia Xin needs to meet the queen in person to talk, this is also an inevitable procedure, without the support of the queen, Xia Xin can't do anything.
Then, Duke Charles explained a few precautions, as well as several of the prince's cronies, for Xia Xin's attention.
Before he finished speaking, Xia Chaozong had already come to knock on the door.
"It's time, it's time for us to go, it's dangerous to stay any longer."
Xia Chaozong's voice sounded from the door.
The Duke also nodded and said, "You go." ”
"Yes." Xia Xin said very seriously, "Thank you, Lord Duke." ”
"It's my time to thank you, the future of the kingdom is up to you."
“……”
Xia Xincai didn't care about the future of the kingdom, and he was not interested in it, he just wanted to kill that prince, that's all.
Either he dies or he dies, the relationship between the two is as simple as that.
Xia Xin put the things on the table back in his pocket, put on his hat, and walked out quickly.
Then, just like when he came, Xia Chaozong walked in front, Xia Xin lowered his head and silently followed behind, walking all the way out of the corridor.
The soldier muttered, "It's been a long day," but didn't ask much.
The sky outside was already pitch black, but inside the palace was brightly lit, with people patrolling back and forth.
Xia Chaozong strode briskly and walked straight towards the gate.
Along the way, no one paid attention to him.
Until he came to the gate of the palace and was about to go out, when Xia Xin was about to hurry home to prepare for the next thing, a sharp voice came from behind.
"Lawyer Xia, wait a minute."
“……”
These words made Xia Chaozong have to pause and slowly turn around.
"His Royal Highness the Prince wants to see you!"
