Chapter 700: Calm

"Thank you, sir!"

The little girl's eyes were shining, and she happily hugged a bunch of delicacies, and smiled sweetly.

"Ahem."

Hugh Ke coughed, and when he turned around, he saw Yang Yuying staring at the pile of roses, and then looked up at him, expressionless and a little fierce.

"The cub is such a cute little thing, and it's a little girl, of course you have to take good care of it."

Huke pressed the curvature of the corners of his mouth, "As a Natarian, caring for the young is something that my generation should do. ”

Yang Yuying nodded: "Then the consequences of your care for the cubs, please bear it happily." ”

As she spoke, she pushed the whole basket of roses over.

"Ah...... Ahh ”

Hugh Ke carefully took his index finger and middle finger, held the handle of the basket, and transferred it to his feet, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, straighten his clothes, and said solemnly: "Come, although we have decided that no matter what the Zerg and the top leaders of the Yonglan Empire do, however, intelligence still has to be mastered, and Marshal Lin, the god of war of the Federation, said that intelligence occupies the most important position among the major elements of victory......"

Yang Yuying: These are all the words he said as soon as he opened his mouth, today he said that intelligence is important, tomorrow he said that justice is important, and the day after tomorrow he said that discipline is important, and he changed words every day.

"Hugh, I remember that you seem to be a wanted criminal in the Federation, and you don't feel very awkward when you talk about the Federation God of War all day long?"

"What's wrong with the wanted criminal, one day I hit the marshal's hand, I don't mind surrendering if I can't beat it."

Hugh smiled and smiled, "It's a pity that the wages of the Federation fleet are not too high, and they can't support our family's people and ships, otherwise, it's not a bad thing to eat military rations." ”

Yang Yuying sighed.

This is another guy who has been fooled and lame by the glorious image of the marshal.

I still hope that the true face of the marshal and his old man will never be exposed, otherwise how many young men and girls in the Federation will be disillusioned, in case the spirit is irreversibly traumatized, wouldn't it be a sin!

"Don't talk about that, let's see how much information Alice can give us."

Yang Yuying first ordered two more meals and asked for two pots of wine, and then opened the communicator casually, reading various investigation reports while eating.

"The disaster in the palace is serious enough."

Yang Yuying virtualized the architectural drawings of the palace directly on the dining table, and Alice marked the unknown elements dotted on it.

If each unknown element represents a nest of bugs, then at least two-thirds of the palace is covered by bugs.

The entire eastern and western parts of the imperial capital were the most severely affected, and the south and north did not cause much harm.

Yang Yuying called up the abnormal events that had occurred in the imperial capital in the past two months, and compared them with the unknown elements, and circled them three times casually.

Hugh Ke snapped his hands and clapped his hands: "If you want to monitor these three directions, beautiful young lady, it seems that the two of us are going to spend a wonderful time together on the top of the mountain, two of us!" ”

Yang Yuying slapped it, Hugh Ke exaggeratedly hugged his chest and fell down, his face was blue, his breath was dying, Yang Yuying ate a clean meal slowly, grabbed the money from his pocket and threw it to the boss, and dragged Hugh Ke's feet with one hand, and left the hotel slowly.

Nearby pedestrians: "......"

At the door of the snack shop not far from them, a young man who had traveled thousands of miles from the Tianfan Empire to Yonglan to meet his fiancΓ©e suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

This girl has so much strength!

Just this knight's full body armor must weigh dozens of pounds, and looking at his big man and strong muscles, the weight can't be too light.

He remembered what his senior brother had told him before leaving, and the senior brother said that the Yonglan Empire was different from the Tianfan Empire, and in Yonglan, women were more strong.

It is said that in their family, the man was ...... by the family The number of violent and permanent psychological shadows is very large, for which they are all on the royal weekly of Tianfan.

His fiancΓ©e was given by his parents, he has always been obedient, and he has never thought of regretting his marriage, and when he is old, he obediently packed his bags and went straight to the imperial capital, one to meet his fiancΓ©e, and the other to give a dowry and discuss marriage.

At this moment, he was suddenly a little afraid, his legs were weak and weak, and he didn't want to get up to continue his journey.

Maybe what was written in the Royal Weekly wasn't a rumor? The reason why it will be clarified later, or is it really because of the oppression of the Yonglan Empire?

In terms of force, the Tianfan Empire is stronger than the Yonglan Empire, but perhaps it is precisely because the women of the Yonglan Empire are too strong and the men are too weak, so the military aspect is almost meaningful?

The young man thought about it and decided to think more about his marriage.

At this moment, on the docks, Edward happily walked over and hugged Mrs. Hagen, "I miss my mother too, and I miss you so much." Is Mother okay? ”

Edward's mother was not his adoptive mother, the Queen's mother, and certainly not his dead biological mother, the Queen's personal maid.

It's his aunt.

Edward's mother died to save the king, and Edward, who was just born, was hugged by the king to the queen, but the queen had a group of children at that time, how could she take care of him with her heart?

At that time, Edward was still young, anyway, the previous generation didn't know what kind of chaos he had experienced, so he was taken home by his aunt to raise him, saying that he was an aunt, no different from his own mother.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Good, all good. ”

Mrs. Hagen smiled, but with a slight reluctance in her smile, and she took Edward's arm with a slightly clumsy hand, and let him get into the carriage first, and she sat down with her.

Edward's heart sank suddenly: "What the hell is going on?" Something happened to my mother? ”

"Don't worry, dear."

Mrs. Hagen sighed, "Madame is fine, it's just that Prince William and Her Royal Highness the Queen have passed away one after another." ”

Edward was stunned.

Prince William's business, he was prepared.

The time there was danger at sea, Prince William was already ...... It's just that the queen will die, and he can't help but be shocked.

"You know, Madame and Prince Harry don't have a good relationship. Now there is news circulating everywhere that the queen and Prince William have died together, and it has a lot to do with our wife, and it is very likely that His Majesty will marry our wife as his queen. ”

"My God, our wife has never stepped on an ant since she was a child, how could she do such a thing? The queen's affair is even more outrageous, hey! ”

As he spoke, the carriage arrived at Lady Anne's estate.

This manor is only a few minutes away from the royal palace, and in terms of location, it is the most prosperous part of the imperial capital, and Lady Anne has a vast estate in such a place, and it is no wonder that the idlers of the imperial capital always like to arrange stories related to her.

Edward hurried into the study and saw his mother sitting upright in a chair reading a book, so he restrained his worries a little, "Mother, how can the queen and Prince William ...... Deceased? ”

Anne is nearly fifty years old, but she is still graceful and beautiful, and the subtle lines at the corners of her eyes do not make her look old, but just a little more elegant after years of precipitation.

Some women can withstand the ravages of time, withstand the wind, frost, snow and rain, and are beautiful and moving.

When Edward saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief.

What happened on the road was really unsettling, and he was worried...... But now that he had seen someone, he didn't think there was anything to disguise himself as his aunt.

How can this person's demeanor be imitated casually?

Anne put down the book in her hand and shook her head gently: "Prince William died in an experimental accident, and many people watched it at the time, it was a scandal of the royal family, so don't ask about it." ”

"As for the queen, she said that she had a sudden illness, and she went without being rescued, and Her Royal Highness the queen is not young, and she has worked hard and neglected maintenance on weekdays, and she may have gotten the news of William's death, and she ...... for a while Ay! ”

Edward was surprised: "How is it possible! ”

It doesn't matter if you deceive outsiders, after all, the queen is very weak and affectionate all day long, but they know that Her Royal Highness is extremely resolute, and it is not the first time she has lost a child, and Prince William is not her favorite child, how could she die because of these things.

For a moment, a layer of gloom seemed to hang over Edward's head.

While on the ship, he and He-Man agreed not to say anything about what happened on the ship, and he attracted attention on the surface, and He-Man would secretly find out the news.

The Assassins at sea have been swept away, and all traces of the sea have disappeared.

Now the enemy may know that something has happened, but they don't know that two unexpected people, himself and He-Man, escaped and returned to the imperial capital.

Then, it may be a good choice for them to quietly wait and see.

"Edward, since you're back, don't go out casually these days, I will ask someone to clean up your studio every day, it's very clean, you like to paint, just paint steadily."

Anne held Edward's hand and said softly, "I always feel that this year's emperor is not peaceful, and I don't know what His Majesty's stargazers have seen." ”

Edward's heart was already terrified, but now he was so frightened by Lady Anne that he didn't dare to enter the palace, even though the palace was actually his home.

Even if he was in a complicated mood, Edward also had to attend the farewell ceremony of the queen's body.

He didn't even eat, and after seeing his aunt, he hurried to the palace, in fact, as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, the first thing he should have done was to go to the palace, but he was really worried about his aunt, so he couldn't help but come back to take a look first.

The funeral ceremony for the queen's body was solemn and simple.

It is said that the queen herself decided to bury her simply, without any treasures accompanying the burial, and only moved her bedroom into the tomb as it was.

Edward thought that he could not cry at the funeral, although he was a sensitive person, and he did not think that he was ruthless, but in his life, the queen was like a high shadow, and he sometimes recalled it, and even some could not remember the queen's appearance.

It's just that on the day of the funeral, when the haggard maid beside the queen gave him the painting tools and two boxes of books left by the queen, he couldn't help but redden his eyes slightly.

Those books were the queen's dowry, and some of them were very valuable ancient books, which were also very cherished by the queen during her lifetime.

The funeral was over quickly.

Edward's life seems to have returned to peace, he stays in the manor every day and paints seriously, and the imperial capital does not enter turmoil as imagined, but is unbelievably calm.

At most, because of the death of the queen, everyone likes some gossip, why His Majesty will make Lady Anne queen, and when Prince Harry will be made the crown prince.

In Yonglan, everyone thought that Harry would soon become the crown prince.

He was the eldest son born to the queen, a shrewd and capable man, and had a good reputation among the nobility, and the people of the imperial capital were not dissatisfied with the eldest prince.

Now Prince Harry is thirty years old, and even the eldest son is twelve years old, which is considered to be established, but the king has never ordained him.

Because of this incident, all kinds of rumors in the capital change every day.

Edward was not interested in rumors, he painted in the manor for half a month, except for the occasional visit to the palace to meet his father and the king, and to contact the relationship, he did not go anywhere, nor did he go to inquire about the news under the undercurrent of the capital, and he did not even pay attention to the situation of the nobles who died when he was in distress at sea that day.

It was boring for several days, and on this day, Edward slipped out of the manor while his aunt was out.

Looking at the rows of shops on the streets of the imperial capital, he took a deep breath, and at this time he especially hoped that the terrible consequences that Yu Yingjun and Knight Huke said were just pure speculation.

As soon as he went out, Edward planned to find a few fox friends to contact and connect, first going to the house of his childhood sweetheart, Adams.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Adams, he saw a person slamming out of the gate, it was a young man, dressed in the Tianfan Empire, his face was full of horror, and he rushed straight towards Edward, shouting loudly: "I can't marry if I don't marry, I want to withdraw from the marriage, you women of the Yonglan Empire are good-but-afraid!" ”

The last three words were sharply broken, which showed that he was really scared.

The door of Adams's house was opened, and seven or eight knights of the guards came out of it, their eyes were extremely flat, and Edward looked at them, his heart suddenly changed, and he frowned - the guards of the Addams family were a little fierce.

The young man from Tianfan panted and hugged his shoulders, jumped to his feet and shouted: "I said, don't marry, don't marry, it's me who broke the contract, it's me who is treacherous, I'll send you back the marriage certificate when I turn around, anyway, if I don't marry, the women of your Yonglan Empire will eat people!" ”

One of the guards actually narrowed his eyes and took a step forward, and the young man took several steps back in a row, and many pedestrians on the side of the road couldn't help but come over to watch and point.

As soon as Edward wanted to speak, he saw Knight Hugh standing at the front of the crowd, and said in a loud voice: "Marquis John is a nobleman with a famous name in Yonglan, how important is the identity of the noble lady, everyone says that they will not marry, if you want to make trouble in a hurry, won't all our daughters in Yonglan be embarrassed!" ”

As soon as he said this, some people in the crowd of onlookers couldn't help but make an uproar.

Edward also said: "Don't worry about anything, don't make noise in the street, it's not good-looking." ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman who looked like a housekeeper walked out of the door, beckoned, and the guards slowly returned, and the door slammed shut, Edward's heart jumped, and his footsteps stuck to the ground and no longer had the strength to move forward.

Hugh grabbed the young man with one hand, gave Edward a look, and in the blink of an eye he was into the alley beside him.
