After discussing with Jada, Gale II took a part of the bottle of water and tried it with someone, and confirmed that it was not poisonous, and that it had a certain resistance to some minor toxins.

Gale II was delighted and decided to take the contents of the bottle as soon as possible, but he was a little concerned that the user would be asleep all day: "If someone finds out, I'm afraid it will cause chaos, right?" Now that the situation is becoming more and more unstable, it is better not to let the rumors get out. On this day, the matter will be handed over to you, child, don't let anyone outside know, and don't let the Queen Mother find out, just think I'm tired, I want to rest for a day, as long as I get through this day, it'll be fine in the future. ”

Jada solemnly agreed: "Please rest assured, I will stay here all day and never let anyone enter your room!" ”

Gale II smiled and nodded: "Okay, when I wake up, if the effect is really good, the remaining half will be dedicated to the Queen Mother, and you will sacrifice it, so that she will not always doubt you." ”

Jada lowered his head, he knew what Gale II was referring to. In the coup d'état of that year, one of his own uncles was accused of poisoning the Queen Mother and had Prince Mario secretly executed, so the Queen Mother was even more unkind to people in his lineage. He was able to use Gale II's admiration to enter and leave the court and participate in political affairs, but the other surviving uncle was now confined to his room in the decaying castle, enduring a sick life under semi-house arrest.

But... To tell the truth, he was very reluctant to give up the water, the queen mother, who was too partial to Prince Lawler, knew that this grandson had done many heinous bad things, she still connived at it without principle, and even prevented Gale II from teaching her nephew a lesson. If Lawler ten years ago was a good young man who was a little arrogant and willful, but still smart and clever, now he is rotten from the inside to the outside. Having such a prince here is a disgrace to the Noga Kingdom!

Moreover, the queen mother's maiden family was originally just an ordinary nobleman. But now that he has a close relationship with Prince Mario, he has become a hegemon in the north, and I heard that he is still raising an army privately in his territory, and most of the economic arteries of the northern territory are in their hands. The Queen Mother's younger brother and nephew not only robbed the merchants' shops and commoners' property, but also interfered in local affairs. Even the nobles who were lower in rank than them were humiliated by them. Many people have come to the capital to complain, but they have all been pressed down by Prince Lawler, and I don't know how many of them have sunk into Lake Normenca. If they continue to do evil, the country will be hopeless!

Therefore, Jada hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I took half of the water to ask someone to try it before, but now it is less than two servings, after you take it, the rest is not enough for one dose, right?" After the Queen Mother took it. Will the effect be compromised? I heard Minter say that each person can only take this one time in a lifetime, and it will not work if you take it again. It's better to ask him, what materials are needed for this herb, we can find a way to collect them all, ask his teacher to prepare a dose, and then give it to the Queen Mother to drink, isn't it better? Gail thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Then do it according to your wishes, and leave the rest of the water to you." Jada looked at his uncle's smile and somehow felt as if he had read his own mind. He lowered his head with a slight blush, and replied vaguely.

When he found Minte, Minte was counting the magic materials that had just been delivered, and listened to the report of the person who bought the herbs: "Other materials can be bought, only one is called Oriental Twenty Seed Grass, almost all the people in the material store don't know, and then they found a big material store, they said that it had just been sold out, and it would take a few days." I see that it is very important to mark this material in your list. I waited there for three days before I got it back. Take a look, is there anything missing? ”

Minter glanced at it and smiled with satisfaction, "It's complete, it's hard work." Looking up at Jada who came through the door, "What?" Something? ”

Jada waved the two of them down, sat down and looked at the materials piled up in most of the room, a little dazed: "Do you need so much?" ”

"You don't care. Who said that if you buy it back, it must be your majesty's land? You and Shedd use the land to stop bleeding and detoxify something. It all depends on these materials. ”

Jada coughed lightly, "Speaking of antidotes." Your Majesty wants to ask your teacher what kind of land you have... What materials do you need? We would like to give a dose to the Queen Mother. ”

"Didn't I give the two of them a share of the land?"

"This... Because I found someone to try it... Not enough now. ”

Minter looked up at Jada. Suddenly sighed: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" My uncle just left this morning. If only he were still here. I can ask him to bring a letter to my teacher. And now there are so many materials. There you have these. There are only a dozen of the most precious ground herbs missing. It's all there is to it. But. Those are hard to find. ”

"If it's hard to find, just take your time." Jada smiled. "Most importantly. Be sure to use the best materials. This is to be dedicated to the Queen Mother. ”

Minter raised his eyebrows, looked at Jada's sincere expression, and after a moment's thought, he smiled: "Understood, don't worry." ”

Gale II decided on the date of the service. In order to avoid trouble, he specially chose the day when Prince Mario went out of the city to inspect the barracks, when the prince would be away for two days, and Prince Lawler would not enter the palace for the time being because his wife's birthday was approaching and a banquet was to be held at home. If there is an urgent matter, it will be handled by Jeda, and all other matters will be taken aside. He has been sick for many years, and he has been a little tired recently, so he should not arouse suspicion if he rests a little longer.

On that day, Gale II sent his brother away in the morning, and after he had taken care of the affairs at hand, and after eating, he ordered the chief of the court not to disturb anyone, on the grounds that he was overworked and needed to rest. Just in case, he arranged for one of his most trusted court physicians to wait with Minter in the next room. When all the preparations were made, he took the water and fell asleep.

As the minutes and seconds ticked by, Gale II let out a slight snoring and fell into a deep sleep. Jada and the court steward opened a crack in the door and looked at it, then closed the door, and the steward suddenly cried: "Your Majesty has not slept so well for a long time..."

"Shh Jada stopped his crying and pulled him a few steps away, "Be calm! It's only been a few hours, what are you crying about?! ”

The manager hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and saluted respectfully: "It's rude, I'll go and see how the other places are arranged." Then he stepped back quickly. Jada exhaled and walked to the waiting room next to him, where he saw Minter reading a book and the doctor. He had already dozed off in the corner, so he walked up to the former with a smile and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?" ”

Minter closed the book: "Some of the customs of your country, I took it from the bookshelf casually, how is Your Majesty?" ”

"I slept soundly." Jada looked at the sky, "It's getting dark." Will he feel hungry? ”

"You can't wake him up now, let's ask someone to prepare more easy-to-digest food tomorrow, he'll be hungry when he comes." Minter stood up, "I'll go and see, don't stay here all the time, go to work, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”

Jada smiled and nodded, and walked out, not noticing the slight shaking of the two books in Minter's hands. It's gone.

After dinner, Jada straightened out the official documents a little and stretched. So he went to the king's bedchamber, and saw Minter talking quietly with the court steward, and when he saw him, he made a gesture that everything was going well. He breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and stepped forward to speak, but suddenly heard a "boom", which seemed to be coming from the southeast, the building under his feet shook, and a woman's scream came from around.

"What's going on?!" Jada was shocked and angry. Minter ran to the window as fast as he could. Looking to the southeast, I faintly saw a light on the mountain: "Is there anything special on the southeast mountain outside your city?" Why does it seem to be on fire? ”

Jada's face sank, and she ran to him to look out the window, cursed secretly, and quickly ran out. After an hour, he came back and said, "It's okay, it's just an accident." But the man was spread out on his chair, as if he was tired.

Mint smiled and didn't ask. But I was secretly vigilant in my heart, and I was determined to find out what was on the mountain!

There was a commotion outside the window, as if something was happening in front of the palace, but it was too far away to be audible. Jada let out a low wail, "What's wrong again?!" Minter glanced at the chief of the court, who looked at the attendant outside the door, and the attendant went out as fast as he could, and soon came back to report, "It is Prince Lawler who has brought men into the palace gate, saying that there has been an accident outside the city tonight." He was afraid that the Queen Mother would be frightened. Specially to accompany and comfort. The guards at the palace gate said they couldn't let him in without permission. So there was a quarrel. ”

"That guy!" Jada only felt unlucky, and suddenly stood up and walked out, "I'll stop him, you take care of this place!" ”

Before he could walk out of the palace gate, he heard a group of people walking towards the back hill from the front, and it was obvious that the movement was led by Prince Lawler. Jada was furious and grabbed a soldier who was far behind those people: "What is Sargent doing?!" He didn't know that closing the palace gate at night was strictly forbidden for anyone to enter or leave the place unless it was ordered by the king?! ”

"Captain Sa, Sargent is not here... He went with Prince Mario on his tour of the barracks—" replied the soldier in fear. Jada then remembered that in order to find out the situation in the barracks, he had made an appointment with Sargent a few days ago to arrange for the other party to go with Prince Mario. Now the main place in front of the palace gate must be Sargent's deputy, although this person is reliable, but his status and qualifications are a little worse, it is difficult to stop Lawler. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh unlucky.

The soldier glanced at him cautiously, and from time to time the corner of his eye glanced at Prince Lawlor and his party, "Your Excellency Duke and Duke, the deputy captain asked me to follow His Royal Highness the Prince, you..."

Jada let go of him and let him go, standing there for a moment before turning back to the king's bedchamber: "Leave them alone, just don't let them in!" ”

However, it backfired, and less than half an hour later, Prince Lawler suddenly walked into the king's chambers with a few attendants, and saw Jada with some surprise: "Why are you still here?" I thought you had gone back to your house. ”

"Your Majesty has something for me to do, so let me stay in the palace for the night." Jadapi said with a smile, "What are you doing here so late?" Your Majesty has fallen asleep. ”

"Oh?" Lawler raised his eyebrows, "The Queen Mother is very worried about Your Majesty, saying that the noise just now was so loud, it must be noisy for Your Majesty, so she asked me to see if Your Majesty was frightened." ”

Jada smiled kindly, "The Queen Mother really cares about Your Majesty, Your Majesty is fine, although she woke up just now, she has fallen asleep again." Go back, and tell the Queen Mother that everything is fine here, Your Majesty. ”

"Squeak", the door of the waiting room opened at this time, and the old doctor showed his head in a daze, and when he saw that it was Prince Lawler, he was startled, and hurriedly came out to greet him. Lawler was suspicious, and asked in a long voice, "Why—the doctor is here?" ”

"Just in case." Minter walked out of the waiting room, the old doctor ran out to read when he heard a sound outside after falling asleep, he was a little fascinated by reading, he didn't stop it, so he had to run out to help Jada: "After all, the loud noise just now is too amazing, we are worried that it will affect Your Majesty's sleep, so let the doctor come and accompany him." ”

Lawler was noncommittal, turned to Jada and said, "I want to see Your Majesty." As he spoke, he was about to go to the door.

Jada stepped forward to block his way: "No need, Your Majesty is already asleep, in case you are woken up, it will be difficult to fall asleep again." You should be very clear, right? Your Majesty's poor sleep will affect your health. ”

"The Queen Mother told me to make sure that Your Majesty is okay."

"Your Majesty is fine, but you'll disturb him."

Seeing that Jada repeatedly stopped him, Lawler became suspicious: "Just take a look outside the door, isn't that okay?" You can't be hiding something, are you? ”

Jada was about to say something, when she suddenly felt Minter pull herself secretly, paused, and didn't stop again. Lawler opened the door and looked inside, and saw that Gale II was indeed asleep, and was about to go inside, but the door was closed by Minter: "His Royal Highness the Prince has already seen it, so don't disturb Your Majesty's sleep." ”

Lawler glanced at him, turned back, and knocked down a large vase by the wall, knocking it down on the ground and shattering with a loud noise.

Jada's face darkened: "Your Royal Highness! Please be quiet! Lawler spread his hands and looked innocent: "I didn't mean to. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced in the direction of the door.

By this time Minter had already entered the room, checked that Gale II had not woken up, turned to leave the room, and met Lawler's thoughtful gaze, hurriedly closed the door, and shook his head at Jada. The latter breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice and said ruthlessly: "I've seen everything that should be seen, please leave!" ”

Lawler smiled and walked away, and Jada and Minter, worried about his follow-up, held on until dawn, finally relieved. The former smiled: "As long as you wait until noon, you'll be fine, you've stayed up all night, you're tired, right?" Let's take a break, shall we? ”

Minter looked at Tianse, nodded and went back to his room, washed up a little, and was just about to take a nap, but he heard someone outside the door talking loudly, and hurriedly went out to see, it turned out to be several old ministers clamoring to see the king, Jada explained that Gale II was too tired to rest, and it was inconvenient to see them, and one of the ministers said: "Are you telling the truth?" Lord Jeda, I have heard that the King is seriously ill, and you are taking advantage of this opportunity to plot against you. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that I'm afraid it can't be fake, right?! ”

Jada was taken aback: "Where did this rumor come from?!" Absolutely no such thing! ”

"What's the matter with the sudden tightening of vigilance in the palace?! Also, a few of us stayed on duty in the side hall last night, so we didn't leave, and this morning, all the ministers were not allowed to enter the palace. The soldiers guarding the palace gate all said, this is your order, what's going on?! ”

"What?!"

(The so-called plan does not change quickly...) ）
