Jada shook his head and raised his chin at the old ministers: "Go in, Your Majesty is awake" Several soft-footed ministers looked at each other a few times, and entered the room tremblingly, and after a while, there was a cry, and then Gale II heard the voice of softly soothing them

Minter frowned and looked at Jada, who was gasping for air, "You woke him up?" What about physicians? ”

"The monsters have hit the bedside, and the old doctor was thrown out of the window before he could scream, and if Your Majesty doesn't wake up, he will never want to wake up!" Jada raised his sleeve to wipe his face, spat at the blood foam, and said fiercely, "If I know who did the good thing, I will definitely cut him into eighteen pieces!" A hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and with one step, the long knife stabbed into the chest of an armored soldier who had broken his hands and feet and was still struggling to climb in by the window, and pushed the other party out of the window by inertia, looking at the soldiers who had gathered again in front of the palace gate, he shouted loudly: "If you think you are stronger than these monsters in iron armor, come on, I will never be soft!" Anyone who storms the king's chambers is a rebel! ”

The soldiers moved and did not attack, and the commander shouted in a hoarse voice: "The careerist who intends to usurp the throne is shouting, and we must not let him succeed!" For the king's sake, up."

The soldiers still refused to come forward, and the man drew his knife and slashed the nearest soldier to death, shouting, "What are you doing?!" Want to be a traitor?! Aren't you afraid that your whole family will be killed..."

Before the words were finished, they heard a horn at the palace gate, three long and one short, after the soldiers heard it, they immediately lined up and ran in the direction of the palace gate, and the commander saw this and wanted to step forward to stop them, but was kicked away by a soldier led by him: "We don't know who you are, we only know that you have to obey military orders!" ”

The man wanted to say something, but he heard neat footsteps behind him, interspersed with the sound of horses' hooves, and when he looked back, Sargent, the captain of the palace guard, led dozens of horsemen and a large group of soldiers to gallop from the direction of the palace gate, and quickly surrounded them, and someone ran to the direction of the back hill Looking at Sargent's black face, he couldn't help but feel weak under his feet, knowing that the plan had failed

Sargent looked coldly at the embarrassed soldiers in front of him and said, "Lay down your arms and wait for the trial, His Majesty will decide on your punishment!" ”

The soldiers bowed their heads in frustration, and some of them let out a sound of surprise, while others followed their gaze to see that in front of the door of the king's bedchamber, Gale II was standing proudly, with the Duke of Jada and several ministers behind him

The rumors were shattered in an instant

Sargent quickly turned over and dismounted, walked to Gale II with a group of subordinates, bowed his head, and the latter stretched out his hand to help him up, and said lightly: "It's difficult for you to come back in time, you can bring people to imprison these soldiers, don't be too embarrassed about them, after all... They're just being deceived."

Some of the defeated soldiers were full of shame when they heard his words, and when they thought that there was a king in the palace where they had just attacked, they couldn't help but tremble with fear, and looked at the commander with resentment in their eyes, for their own sake and for the sake of those comrades who had died in vain!

The commander raised his head arrogantly and decadently: "Coward! Don't you even dare to attack the enemy? How can you build our great Great Nogar Empire?! With that, he already held a silver dagger in his hand, and Sargent and the others immediately drew their swords nervously to guard against it

Gale II raised his hands and pressed down on the spot, and immediately calmed down, and he said lightly to the man: "The Great Noga Empire is not built only by swords, only by killing people, if you think that this is true dedication to the country, then I tell you that what you have done is only pushing this country into a more painful abyss!" ”

The man laughed a few times: "Nonsense! Then he stabbed himself in the neck and fell

Gale II quietly looked at the man's corpse and told Sargent: "Put his corpse with the rest of the land and take good care of it," Sargent bowed his head in response

Gale II looked up at his bedchamber, blood flowed inside and outside the palace, corpses were lying all over the ground, several curtains and window frames were still burning, two window sills collapsed, porcelain fragments were hung everywhere, there were several paintings on the walls that were stained and damaged, and the world seemed to have changed in a short wake-up, he closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, he was forcibly awakened before the time came, his body was still a little tired, and he was even more uncomfortable with mental pain. Dear mother, brother, is this the land you want?!

When he opened his eyes again, Gale II's eyes had regained their composure, and there was still a lot of work to be done, and he didn't have time to be sad

Minter didn't go out with the king, he stayed in the palace, patrolled everywhere, and when he saw that there were armored soldiers who were still wriggling, he made up for a sword He opened the helmets of several armored soldiers, and found that they were all blue in the face, and there was a faint ** smell coming out, and he felt disgusted

Before returning to the king's bedchamber, the surviving attendants had already packed the king's luggage under the command of the palace steward, and the palace was afraid that it would no longer be suitable for living in the short term, and more than a dozen wounded male and female attendants wept in a low voice, bandaged each other simply, and then went to look for the unfortunate death of the companions, the soldiers found the corpse of the old doctor by the flower bed outside the window of the room, and moved back to the house, the old man served the royal family of Noga for decades, and finally gave his life for it

Mrs. Cole hid her face and wept, and took out her handkerchief to wipe the face of a dead maiden, who was her niece, who had just turned eighteen, and if she had known that such a thing would happen, she would never have promised her brother to let her child enter the palace as a maid-in-waiting

Minter walked up to her lightly, untied the small pearl necklace from his hand, the white beads were stained with blood on the surface, he wiped it with the corner of his clothes, saw that he couldn't wipe it clean, and wanted to use some water magic, but he felt a wave of fatigue welling up, and the water element gathered slightly, and it immediately dissipated He had already consumed too much magic just now, and now he couldn't use even the simplest magic

"It's okay, just give it to me" Mrs. Cole found him, and took the necklace with a reluctant smile, but it was more poignant than crying, "This is what my sister asked me for in the Temple of Light in Sico, and it was the archbishop himself who blessed the earthly relics... But I'm so unreligious, if I had recited the prayer earlier and taken out this necklace earlier, wouldn't this kid be—" She choked up, unable to speak any more

Mint hurriedly said: "It's not your responsibility, on the contrary, it is because of you that so many of us have been saved"

Mrs. Cole shook her head and tears kept welling up in her eyes, and she wiped her handkerchief with it, but her hands were covered with blood from the handkerchief, and she looked at the handkerchief and the blood on her hands, and then at her niece's face, and wept again

Minter hurriedly took out his clean handkerchief and handed it over, and whispered, "Please mourn" Seeing Mrs. Cole crying, and then looking at the tragic situation around him, the anger in his heart against the murderer behind the scenes could not be quenched

Could it be that so many innocent people could be sacrificed for the sake of his power alone?!

The ministers who returned to the house spoke around Gale II, indicating that they had only been misled by rumors and would have come to accuse the Duke of Jada, but they were dissatisfied with the duke's rash letting the king consume something of unknown effect, believing that if the king had not fallen asleep, the disaster would not have happened in the first place, and the Duke of Jada should be held responsible for this

These ministers had always been at odds with Jada, and of all the officials, they were the ones who hit him the hardest, and they strongly supported Gale II's accession to the throne in the coup d'état of that year, and believed that only Gale II's heirs could be called the legitimate heirs to the throne, and for so many years they persuaded him to remarry a queen and have a son

Gale II listened quietly, but there was already a hint of impatience in his eyes, Jada stood in the corner, turning his head to look out the window at the soldiers who were tidying up the battlefield, expressionless, not knowing what to think

When he heard one of the ministers accuse Jada of deliberately concealing the truth and preventing them from seeing the king, and causing rumors to spread that it would lead to this unrest and put everyone in danger, he could no longer resist the strange smell he had smelled before the attack, so he stepped out of the gate in three steps and two steps, and ran to the front of the harem, causing screams all the way

Came to the side hall of the former palace, the body of the murdered attendant in a messy corner of the house had not yet been moved, several soldiers went in and out to search each room to see if there was anyone hiding Mint went directly into the room where the officials were on duty at night, and saw a large brass vat used to light incense by the fireplace, and when he walked in, the vat was clean and clean, without any traces of spices and sesame oil

He thought it was a little strange, and glanced around, only to find another half-old copper jar in the inconspicuous corner behind the screen, with a notch in the edge, and the remnants of the spices in the jar were exactly the kind of weight he had smelled on the ministers, and if they were really burned out, I am afraid that these old fellows would also become victims like a few attendants outside

Finding a piece of paper wrapped in a small half packet of spices, Minter ran back to the king's bedchamber and asked the noisy ministers directly: "Did you have any incense last night?!" ”

Several ministers were interrupted by him, and they were all a little annoyed, and said angrily: "No! One of them was a little better-tempered, and added: "Last night one of the attendants broke the jar of incense, and I didn't like the smell, so I told them to change it."

Minter sneered and sent the thing in front of them: "This is the spice found in the vat, it's a miscellaneous!" It's a good thing you didn't hear it for too long, otherwise, you would have slept dead in the front palace and been cut in half like those attendants! You really have to thank Duke Jada, if he hadn't caused those rumors, how could you have come here and avoided those armorers?! ”

The ministers looked at the half bag of spices, their faces turned white, and they were still holding on: "Impossible... Why are those people... Why..."

Jada sneered, walked over and said, "Don't you understand? You usually like to go against me, and as long as you die in the rebellion, those people can say that I killed you for revenge! As long as they attack and get rid of His Majesty and me, it can be said that I intended to rebel and killed Your Majesty! And who else will stop them from seizing the supreme power of this country?! ”

The ministers stared at him with wide eyes, he smiled contemptuously, turned to Gale II and said, "Your Majesty, things are almost done here, isn't it time to go find the chief guard in the Queen Mother's palace?" Since he is temporarily responsible for the defense work in the palace, how did those monsters appear, he must have an explanation, right? ”

Gale II sighed, nodded, and turned to go out with Jada, only to be confronted by Sargent, who reported bad news to them with a solemn face

Sargent had only hurried back after hearing the loud noise in the southeastern hills of the previous night, and there had been an accident in the royal palace, but in the same name was Prince Mario, who had also taken with him an army of 50,000 men, and the only thing that could give some peace of mind was that there was no sign of this army entering the city

Jada's face was blue, Gale II was silent, and several ministers didn't dare to speak anymore Sargent waited for a while, and when he saw that everyone didn't react, he whispered: "I see... His Royal Highness the Prince should really have an accident in the palace, so he will bring troops, he looks... I didn't know it was going to happen this morning..."

Gale II's face looked a little better, but his worries were not diminished in the slightest, whether Prince Mario knew about the rebellion this morning, and what decision he would make once he knew the truth? If he leads his troops in, who will be able to resist it?

At this time, a man dressed as an attendant outside the door, his eyes rolled to look at the surrounding chaos, and when he saw Gale II, he paused, and then stepped forward with a smile and said: "It's great that Your Majesty is safe and sound, what about you, the Queen Mother, please go over with the Duke of Jeda" His eyes rolled, and he looked at Mint again: "Also, please bring the local physician or the master who recently treated you, the Queen Mother said that she has something to ask them"

Gale II's expression was a little gloomy: "Minter, come over, old doctor... It's no longer there..."Minter responded, a little puzzled in his heart, what did the Queen Mother want to do when she made such a fuss?

The palace where the queen mother lives is located in the back mountain, about three or four hundred meters away from the king's bedroom, due to the early death of the queen of Gale II, as a prince, Lawler is not the son of the king, does not live in the palace, the queen mother is equivalent to occupying the entire harem, the architecture and decoration style here is very different from the Nogar palace that Minter has seen

The house is built entirely of white seise marble, not as solemn as other palaces, but also not as palatial as the palaces of Shaonan and East, the garden is very large, full of flowers, seven or eight promenades shuttle through the garden, there are countless white sé marble pillars standing, on the base of the pillars, there are also diamond-shaped patterns of golden brown se, and the walls and door frames and window sills are also depicted with delicate patterns in dumb gold se.

On the way to the palace where the queen mother was, you have to pass through a long corridor, on both sides of the corridor there are twenty or thirty beautiful girls, Qing Yise's slender figure, wearing a round neck, sleeveless high-waisted pleated long skirt made of fine white linen gauze, wearing a slanted shawl made of colorful silk satin produced in Shaonan, and a silk round hat on his head, more than a dozen strings of beads and jade hang down, and when the wind blows, it jingles

They bowed respectfully and saluted, but their eyes couldn't help peeking at their group, and when they saw the large group of soldiers following behind them, they couldn't help but feel panicked, and let out a soft cry, and some of the soldiers couldn't help but stare at them, and they glared back with half disgust, and some of the soldiers chuckled, and Sargent glanced back at him before he straightened his face again

Minter walked past the girls expressionlessly, and saw that on the railings and embroidery piers where they were sitting, there were leather balls, flower baskets, toys and other things, and a few cats lazily napping in the sun

He suddenly felt very ridiculous, looking at this scene, who would have thought that an hour ago, less than three hundred meters away, there had just been a bloody battle, and nearly 100 people died tragically, and the corpses were still piled up in place! The smell of blood can be smelled even in this courtyard of birds and flowers!

(Internal and external troubles, how will this turmoil end, I seem to have forgotten a very important thing this month... Guys, a cheeky one, please vote for me a few more pink votes, votes, all of them)
