Chapter 143: Wrong Door
Lady Anna was really a woman who did what she said, and the next day she really "conspired" with the Chancellor of the Exchequer to empty the treasury in a grand manner!
And then backhanded all the money to buy Nilfgaard's war bonds!
Shen Yan didn't teach her, but this is simply a divine operation!
At that time, Emperor Enhil was so happy that he even joked out of his temper, "Anna, if I hadn't found the love of my life, I would definitely marry you!" ”
Anna listened to the stupid cuteness for some reason, who can say that she is a political idiot later, and a group of people go up and smoke to death!
As the Northern War entered its scorching third year, even many of the imperial nobles were already lacking confidence in victory, and it was obvious that war bonds were unsellable. But Lady Anna knew the "inside information", backed by Shen Yan's elixir and a steady stream of food, how could Emperor Enhil lose?
So her investment is 100% profitable, but this kind of behavior makes a world of difference to Enhill, which is full support!
When Shen Yan saw this scene, he knew that Anna's position as the Grand Duke would not be able to get rid of it in this life......
Sianna is just a little smart, and others are big wise.
Even if Sianna worked hard all her life, it was not as effective as her embezzling the treasury and throwing money, which is really ...... Even Shen Yan didn't know what to say. But Lady Anna, who had just done something big, was still angry!
Because she moved things with great fanfare in the morning, not only the treasury, but also all the works of art she loved in the palace to the Dover estate. Sianna knew that she was happier when she moved to pick up her things, because "someone who lives outside for a few days temporarily" would never have that kind of thinking. The movement is so big, and the news that she wants to pass on the throne to her sister naturally spreads.
For the rest of the morning, Anna struggled to convince the nobles who had come to keep her.
However, after waiting all day, no one came......
Emperor Enhil couldn't laugh so hard that Anna literally contracted his laughter for a whole year.
But Lady Anna felt that she had lost face and was very angry! She couldn't figure out why her popularity was so bad? In particular, the bustling situation on Sianna's side made her even more unhappy. Shen Yan shook his head and didn't explain...... In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a sentence, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.
Anna was inactive on stage, and many ambitious people felt that they had been delayed - when Nilfgaard launched the Northern War, all principalities with more than two hundred soldiers must send troops to war, and Anna did not hesitate to cut the Duchy Guard to two hundred - many ranger knights shouted everywhere, saying that the Grand Duke had ruined their opportunity to make a difference.
People like this don't know how many people they have, they don't see that they live a peaceful and joyful life every day, they only see the "loss" they have suffered. Anna is so busy that it feels as if a capable monarchy would be better. And those real nobles know that the change of the Grand Duke is not a trivial matter, and it must be agreed by Anna and the Empire, so it is useless to say it, it is better to watch behind closed doors.
"What's the hurry...... Let's see her rise up a tall building, and watch her feast guests, and see her building collapse. ”
Anna nodded, forced herself to lie down in the rocking chair, and lined up with Shen Yan, Enshir and a few others. Now only Vivien and the old palace butler are with her, and they are a little desolate.
Shen Yan and they all thought that this matter was finally over, but after half a quarter of an hour, Lady Anna sighed faintly, "Alas, after working hard for the country for ten years, I should take a good rest." Put it down! Put it all down! Don't want to! ”
Shen Yan and Enshier were embarrassed together, wait, who did you just say has been tired for ten years?
*****
On this day, Anna was very drunk, and was still talking drunk when she was helped down by Vivien to rest. said I didn't care, but I actually cared a little. But both Shen Yan and Enshir can see very clearly that when this matter is over, Anna will gain at least one sister and a model worker who works hard without asking for anything in return, and by the way, she can also embezzle the treasury, she will make a lot of money this time.
So the two of them pushed Anna down very tacitly......
Shen Yan put down his wine glass, "Then Your Majesty, I wish you a pleasant night, I'm going to rest." ”
A few minutes later, Yennefa, who was sitting at the other end of the table drinking and reading, and had never participated in their conversation, put down his wine glass, "It seems that I have drunk a little too much, please allow me to retire first." ”
Seeing Shen Yan and Ye Naifa leave almost one after the other, the emperor and his lover glanced at each other in surprise and shook their heads at the same time.
……
In the middle of the night, two people sneaked out of a guest room. One of them said, "I drank too much today and went to the wrong room. ”
Another said, "Me too." ”
Speechless for a while.
After a few minutes, the man took the initiative to break the silence and asked, "Will you come back tomorrow?" ”
"I feel great, tomorrow you give me the code, go to your lab."
"Me too." There was another silence, and in the darkness the man suddenly said, "I have to clarify something, though it is embarrassing...... But I know Geralt. ”
"Hehe, I know each other too." The woman replied softly, not feeling emotional. "There are a lot of people who know him. We were a couple, maybe we still are, but you don't have to worry about it. You know what kind of person he is, and he won't interfere with each other unless one day we make an agreement. The only one of all my female friends who hasn't slept with him, guess who? Our adopted daughter Ciri. ”
"Oh...... That's the other thing that's even more embarrassing," said the man, "I'm friends with Ciri. ”
"Smack!" There was a loud slap in the dark.
"Bastard! Why didn't you say something so important earlier!
……
"Damn, what the hell is that guy up to? He invited me to visit his laboratory, but he didn't even show his face? How long does he want to drag it out? Ye Naifa sat at the breakfast table and complained, as if he didn't see Shen Yan who had a slap print on his face and saw Ye Naifa also running away immediately.
It's fun to chase this drama, and Enhil's lover laughs and inserts a piece of omelette for the emperor.
After a while, the butler Futi walked in with a tray and placed the key next to Yennefa. "Sincerely apologize, Ms. Yennefa. Mr. Shen Yan is temporarily unable to take you on a tour of his laboratory. In order to apologize, he specially ordered me to hand over the key to you, and you can visit and use Mr. Shen's laboratory freely at any time. ”
"Thank you." Yennefer accepted the key and left the restaurant a few minutes later.
Enhill shrugged, and his lover smiled and patted him.
……
A few hours later, Yennefer, who had changed his clothes, returned to the small building where the Nilfgaard people lived.
Noticing that everyone's eyes were fixed on her clothes, Ye Milk explained calmly, "I really don't know what that guy is busy with...... There is indeed a very large and well-equipped laboratory on the sixth basement floor here. But there's a layer of dust in the room, I guess it's been a long time, and the reagents are all expired, so there's nothing to be seen from these. There was too much dust in there, so I went back and changed my clothes. ”
Is this really the reason?
Ye Naifa didn't continue, all she was thinking about was Shen Yan's strange experimental instruments now, and Ye Naifa found that she couldn't understand the purpose of those things!
"It's normal." Emperor Nhil, who was reading a book with glasses, nodded his nose and said, "He's preparing for war." My nose can smell the war coming here. ”
"What?" Ye Naifa stood up, and then showed a sudden expression. "That's right! I said how the magic is unnaturally condensed...... It turned out that he was arranging battlefield magic! Do we need help? ”
"Hit whom?" Pregnant women are more relevant to something else.
"I don't know." Enshir shook his head, his glasses still fixed on the book. "I just saw it...... We'll leave in two days, it's none of our business anyway, we're here for a vacation. ”
“…… It's sad to hear that you say that. A voice whispered from behind.
"Ahhh Not only her, but everyone, including the emperor, was taken aback by the sudden voice. Immediately after a few swishing sounds, several bodyguards rushed in in a row, and they were all frightened.
At this time, Shen Yan spread his hands innocently, "What's wrong with you?" What are you doing so nervous? It's me! Your friend Shen! ”
"I just can't beat him......" Enhill thought depressedly as he continued to look down at the book. As for his wife, don't worry, Shen Yan can choose a day to have a child with a bottle of elixir, and the reaction during pregnancy has been reduced to almost none.
*****
"My dear friends, don't you want to ask what is going on and lend me a helping hand?" Shen Yan said loudly.
Enhil reluctantly put down the book, "Aren't you prepared?" I've seen your caravan's itinerary in the near future, and they'll be back to Dover at the same time, and you'll have over three hundred elite soldiers. This is Nilfgaard, and unless you try to assassinate me, three hundred people can't do anything? ”
Enhil's meaning has been made clear, as the Emperor, I have pretended not to see what you are doing against the law, why do you have to drag me into the water?
Although I am the emperor, I can't beat an ordinary soldier if I give me a sword. "If you still need warriors, there's a legion stationed on the nearest border of Touscent." Nhil doesn't put himself in danger.
"We don't need your people, we'd better take care of this ourselves. But when the time comes, I'm going to be in charge of the positional magic, so I need another person to command these three hundred people in battle, can you take on the burden? ”
"I can also be a general if necessary." Encher nodded confidently.
Then there was Ye Naifa, "I can promise to help as much as I can, and I can also help you connect with a few warlocks with whom you have a good relationship through the clairvoyant." But I need you to provide magical knowledge commensurate with the value of your service in return, deal? ”
"Deal!" Shen Yan lightly slapped Ye Naifa, and then separated like lightning.
