Chapter 177: The Evil Empress (37)
Twelve looked down at the dagger in his hand, the silver blade was very exquisite, and there was a sinuous vine carved on the back of the knife, and there were several beautiful fonts on the handle.
Twelve looked closely, but couldn't tell what the words were.
Neither the writing of the Twelve, nor the writing of Robert's empire, she pointed the words on the dagger to Sebastian, or recognized them at a glance.
"Isn't that a quote from the holy book!"
"What kind of text is the citation?" Twelve hadn't heard of it.
Dean explained: "Quotations are texts used to record the inheritance of the royal church, and legend has it that quotations can reach heaven directly, and they are words that God sends down blessings, so they are called quotations, and those who know quotations are members of the royal church." ”
"Then how can there be a quote on this dagger? What do these words mean? ”
Twelve said: "Sure enough, the bishop and the queen have colluded, I said don't be caught by me, it seems that he is a thief!" ”
Sebastian advises to find an expert to take a look.
So, Dean went to the old bishop's house overnight and "invited" him.
The old bishop looked terrified when he was carried over, and even more frightened when he saw Twelve: "Twelve Campbell, do you know that kidnapping me is a great crime!" For the sake of your father's meritorious service to the Empire, I urge you to surrender yourself as soon as possible, so that God may forgive you for the sins you have done!" ”
Sure enough, it is the old bishop, and his ability to recite scriptures is about to catch up with Tang Seng.
Unable to be bothered, Twelve pulled out his ruby dagger and threw it out.
The dagger stabbed impartially into the chair where the old bishop was sitting, just a finger's distance from his thigh.
The old bishop was silenced.
Twelve took out the dagger that had been left on the soldier and asked, "Please also ask the old bishop to see what the words on this dagger mean?" ”
The old bishop was shocked when he saw the dagger that Twelve had taken out: "Isn't this the bishop's dagger?" How can it be in your hands? ”
When he said this, everyone present understood that the queen had colluded with the bishop to do this.
Then he said, "You need not know where I came from, but tell me how you can tell at first sight that this is the bishop's dagger?" ”
The old bishop said, "On this dagger, with a quotation is engraved the secular name of the bishop, Xerxes." ”
After getting the information he wanted to know, Twelve asked the old bishop to be sent back safely, and before leaving, Xiao did not forget to tell him: "Remember to keep your mouth shut, you don't want to lose your night." ”
The old bishop pursed his lips and nodded as if a chicken pecked rice.
"It seems that the Royal Church has also fallen into a tool for the Empress to fight for power." Dean sighed.
Twelve felt that it was a matter of time: "She is a saint, and the bishop is the first to discover him, and inevitably the interests are even more involved." ”
And the bishop, after settling Todd, entered the palace without stopping.
At this time, Zhao Jiaqi was waiting for him in Kyle's room.
Kyle's body was weakening day by day, and now he was lying in bed and couldn't get up, so he asked, "Queen, when will you bring me the antidote?" ”
The torture of illness made this once high-spirited man depressed.
Zhao Jiaqi's eyes turned red when he heard him mention this stubble, and he turned around and secretly wiped his tears.
Kyle thought she couldn't bear to do it, so he said, "It's okay, you can't bear to do it for another person, you're still pregnant, don't worry about these things." ”
Zhao Jiaqi shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to do it, but the princess was kidnapped by the Twelve Imperial Princesses, and her whereabouts are still unknown." ”
"What? Twelve is back? When did she come back, I don't know! Why didn't she come to see me! Kyle excitedly grabbed Zhao Jiaqi's wrist, but the latter screamed out of the way.
Kyle couldn't help but wonder when he saw this, pulled her hand and lifted his sleeve to see a red and swollen article, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhao Jiaqi withdrew his hand and covered it with his sleeve: "Originally, Your Majesty was sick, I didn't want to tell Your Majesty that these things would only add to my troubles, but I am just a pregnant little woman, and I can't hold it alone." ”
Kyle coaxed her softly, so Zhao Jiaqi explained how Twelve planned a rebellion, brought the emperor and secret army of the Cass Empire into the imperial capital, and how he premeditated to snatch Victoria and prevent her from saving the emperor.
"How can that be, cough cough cough!" Kyle slaps the bed in the face, and the vigorous exercise makes him cough constantly.
Seeing this, Zhao Jiaqi hurriedly comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, your body is important!" ”
"Go, call me over, I will order the whole country to want twelve Campbells, and make the people of the Campbell family pay the due price!" Kyle coughed breathlessly, but still insisted.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhao Jiaqi turned around and went to find the chamberlain.
When Zhao Jiaqi found the chamberlain, the bishop also found him.
She sent her chamberlain to Kyle, and she took him back to her bedchamber, smiling at the panting bishop, "What is it that makes the bishop so anxious?" ”
The bishop looked at the maids beside her, who immediately retreated.
Then he said, "That Cass nobleman Todd has been brought back by me, and is now settled in the Royal Church, but—"
"But what, wouldn't it be good if the people brought it back, and when I presided over the prayer assembly, I would reveal the true face of the Twelve Campbells to all the people, and let her hand over Victoria, and sacrifice the princess alive to comfort the wrath of the true God."
Zhao Jiaqi had already thought about it, using Todd as his weapon to accuse Twelve of being traitors, and then instigating the people to tell them that Twelve's actions had offended the wrath of heaven, so Kyle would be sick.
Only by sacrificing Victoria alive can Heaven appease its wrath.
It can really be said that it is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.
The more Zhao Jiaqi thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was really good, so good that she unconsciously had a smile on her face.
But the bishop said, "But I killed a man, and it was Twelve Campbell's men." ”
"Kill it, kill it, what's the big deal, can they still find out about you?" The maid was not there, so Zhao Jiaqi could only pick up the kettle and pour himself a cup of tea.
"The situation was critical, and my dagger fell on the soldier, and my name was engraved on it!" The bishop saw that Zhao Jiaqi did not seem to understand the seriousness of the matter, and began to explain.
Zhao Jiaqi poured the tea with his hand: "Does your dagger have any other mark?" ”
The bishop shook his head: "It's a kind of dagger that many people in the church have, and my name is engraved on it." ”
"Then you don't have to worry, it's just a dagger, if they want to fake, there are many ways. In two days' time, you remember to bring Todd over, don't delay my big event! ”
