Chapter 167: The Evil Empress (27)
"Did Victoria not listen to you?" Kyle asked.
Zhao Jiaqi suddenly covered his face and cried when he heard this, and said while crying: "I really don't know how to be good to Victoria, she is locked up in a dungeon, I care about her, and she has to insult me." ”
"I thought she was unhappy that she was locked up, so I asked the jailer to let her go, but she actually wanted to kill me!"
Kyle frowned and said, "How can this be?!" Is there anything wrong with you? ”
Zhao Jiaqi removed the hand covering his face, took off his shirt, revealed the wound on his abdomen and said: "Your Highness, Princess Victoria is your own child, but I can't take risks again and again, I'm so scared, I'm afraid that I will be killed one day!" ”
Kyle hugged her distressedly, looked at the blood oozing from the bandage on her abdomen and made up his mind: "I will never tolerate her this time, the Son of Heaven will be sentenced to hang her for breaking the law and the common people!" ”
Zhao Jiaqi smiled on her face hidden in Kyle's arms, and she wrapped her hands around Kyle's neck coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you are so good to me, don't worry, I will give you many children in the future, you won't be the only one Victoria." ”
Kyle patted her on the back in relief.
The twelve and his party were finally approaching the imperial capital, and in two more days, they would be able to arrive.
So she decided to rest for the night in the small town she was passing by, after all, everyone was tired after so long on the road.
Brown and Dean set up camp near the town with their men, while Twelve, with Soso, Shaw, and Cecil staying at the town's inn.
The hostess of the inn was very hospitable and beckoned them to eat together.
At the dinner table, there was a stewed lamb made by the cook in the palace of the Twelve Popes, and she missed Victoria a little, so she pointed to this dish and asked the proprietress "Boss, how can you make this dish?" ”
The proprietress thought she was asking why she made it so delicious, and said with a humble face: "Where is what I did well, it was my husband who saved an injured girl when he went out fishing a few days ago, and she thanked me for teaching me to do it, and after I learned it, the business in the store has improved a lot." ”
"Do you know where this girl came from?" Twelve sensed something was wrong and asked the proprietress about it.
The proprietress thought for a while: "I don't know, I only know that she floated from the upper reaches of the river, and a big hole was punctured in her chest, and she didn't live long." ”
"And where is she now? Can I meet her? Twelve said eagerly, and at this time, both Shaw and Cecil sensed that something was wrong with her.
The proprietress nodded boldly: "Yes, I'll take you there, but I don't think this girl will live long." ”
The twelve and his entourage followed the proprietress all the way to a small cabin in the woods, and the proprietress pushed open the door and said, "It's inside, you can go in." ”
Twelve thanked the proprietress and walked in alone.
The cabin was small, a small room where the innkeeper used to hunt and rest, with a simple wooden bed, a table, a wooden bench, and nothing else.
At this moment, the room was filled with an inexplicable smell of herbs, mixed with a faint trace of blood.
At a glance, Twelve saw the figure standing in front of the table propping up her body and pouring water to drink, and she exclaimed tentatively, "Venola!?" ”
The woman turned to see Twelve in front of her, her eyes filled with tears, and she stretched out her hand towards Twelve, but suddenly fell down.
Twelve-Eyed quickly caught Vinola, who was about to fall to the ground, and asked anxiously, "Vinola, what's wrong with you, how can this be?" What about Victoria? What about Salim? ”
Vinola's hand knuckles whitened with twelve sleeves, and she slid her throat and said with difficulty: "Princess Victoria was framed for assassinating the queen and imprisoned in a dungeon, Salim died to protect her, I am a sinner." ”
"The queen threatened my mother and brother to cooperate with her to assassinate the princess, and I had no choice but to lure the princess out and then pretend to be unconscious."
"But she sent many assassins to besiege the princess, and Her Highness could not escape, and was framed by the queen taking advantage of the opportunity, and His Majesty had Princess Victoria imprisoned in the dungeon."
"The princess has been tortured these days, and I have visited her and bought to take care of her through the jailers, but the princess is already in a very bad condition."
"Now that the queen has killed my mother and brother in the secret room, and she wants to kill my mouth, the princess is only afraid that it will be more than lucky, Your Royal Highness, go back and save the princess!" Ahem, ahem! ”
Vinola said too much in one breath, coughing incessantly, and Twelve helped her breathe: "You speak slowly, I'm here, I'll listen." ”
Vinola gasped: "I know, I can't survive, I desperately ran out to deliver a letter to you, now I only have one last wish, I beg Your Highness to help me fulfill it!" ”
Twelve looked at the breathless Venola and said, "No, I'll call a doctor, you can survive!" ”
Vinola shook her head, "I'm going to pay for what I've done, I can't live," she said, pulling out two strands of hair from her bosom, one with silver threads and the other very soft, "This is my mother's and my brother's hair, and I wish I could be buried with them." ”
Twelve took his hair and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will bury them for them." ”
Venora sighed contentedly, blinded for her last breath.
Twelve couldn't let go of Venola, who had lost her life, for a long time, and it took her to stand up, and the people outside the door looked at Twelve with a bad face and Vinola lying on the ground, and their hearts suddenly understood.
The group returned to the hotel with Honora's body.
She carefully placed the hair that Venola had given her into a delicate little box.
The coffin was ready that day, and twelve went down to the grave, carried Vino into it with his own hands, and put the box in her palm, and brushed her forehead with one hand: "Don't worry, the princess won't blame you, go in peace." ”
A red feathered wing landed lightly on Twelve's shoulder: "Host, don't be sad, you will have to leave this small world sooner or later, don't worry too much about these things." ”
Twelve raised his face and said, "I don't have time to be sad, and I have to rush back to save Victoria." She lifted her feet and climbed up.
Shaw pulled her up from the grave, and Cecil asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Twelve said in front of everyone, "The queen killed two of the princess's attendants, slandered the princess for assassination, and put the princess in the dungeon, and now I am afraid that I will kill the princess, and I must return to the palace before that to save her." ”
After speaking, she turned her head to look at Dean and Brown: "You two and others continue to rush to the imperial capital at the same speed, try not to let people find out that I am not there, and don't act too flustered." ”
