Volume 4 The Clash of Light and Darkness One Hundred and Thirty-Two: Fragile Family, Love and Friendship (II)

When Mint was sending the groom to Gale II, the thirteenth time he heard the sound of the court steward blocking Jada from the door, he looked at Gale II, and the other party was expressionless, but handed back the golf bowl with the magic fray, and said lightly: "It doesn't seem to be as bad as before"

"Your body has already grown a lot, I have lost a few raw materials, what do you think of the effect?"

"It's not bad, but I often feel tired, probably because I'm older"

"If you go outside a lot, you'll get stronger in no time," Mint put the cup back in the tray, noticing that Jada outside the door was not always trying to convince the steward to let him in, as he had at the beginning, but was completely silent, and he had a slight bad premonition, and seeing that Gale II was in a good mood, he cautiously asked, "You... Is the Duke angry at life? ”

Gale II was stunned and smiled bitterly: "It's very childish, isn't it?" I knew in my heart that this was not good, but I still couldn't help but be angry, obviously I made a decision with him, but when I thought...", he couldn't go on, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and turned his gaze to the mantelpiece next to him

There is a small portrait there, which depicts him with his father, mother, and brother, which was a gift he gave to his mother when he was young, and which he personally painted, and the head of the court sent it very considerately when he ordered him to sort out the relics of the Queen Mother, and he looked at it every day, and when he thought of the good times at that time, his heart was extremely uncomfortable

Seeing that Gale II was once again immersed in the memory, Minter had to quietly exit the room, close the door, and see the steward saluting him with three points of cordiality and three points of respect, so he nodded in greeting, but saw that the other man made a gesture and took his tray in his hand

Minter followed the other party's line of sight, and saw Jada standing at the other end of the corridor, quietly looking at the façade at this end expressionlessly, but there was longing in his eyes

The attendants who had crept through the corridor kept looking at him, and when they reached the corner, they couldn't help but gather together and whisper, and when they saw Mint staring at them, they immediately stopped talking, and pretended to be busy wiping around or turning around and walked away, and anyone could guess who they were talking about and what they were talking about

Minter sighed, walked over and comforted: "Your Majesty just can't think about it for a while, it's not really angry with you, don't take it to heart"

Jeda Muran shook his head: "No, Your Majesty regards me as a murderer, so he refuses to forgive me" His eyes turned to Minte: "What about you?" Like everyone else, you think I'm the murderer of my uncle and cousin, right? Why come here? Aren't you afraid of being affected by me? ”

Minter sighed in his heart, knowing that he had probably suffered a lot of setbacks in the past few days before he said such a thing, and said, "Are you asking this kind of question to take me for a fool?" When His Majesty sent you to arrest people before, he reminded you that if you did too much before the situation stabilized, it would affect your image when you had already heard it, so how could you knowingly commit a crime? Besides, both of them are under your supervision, and if something goes wrong, you will be suspected in the first place, and you are not stupid, how could you make such a mistake?! ”

Jada was stunned, staring at him strangely, and he was looked a little uncomfortable: "Am I not right?" And you taunted Prince Mario that day, if you really want to kill him, you won't do such superfluous things, why do you want to kill them? Even if you really want to kill them, you'll only wait for the situation to calm down before quietly taking them out! so that they won't die so vigorously! "Don't think he can't see that this young duke is a silent landlord

Jada grabbed him by the ground, stared at him with both eyes, but didn't speak, his arm ached, and asked inexplicably, "What are you doing here?" Even if I expose your cunning intentions, you don't need to break my arm, right? ”

Jada held back his excitement: "You... You...""What am I? Minte suddenly looked behind the other party: "Miss Junia? ”

Jada let go of his hand and closed his eyes before turning around, and sure enough, he saw his fiancée standing behind him timidly, looking at him with inquiring eyes, so he frowned: "Why are you here?" Didn't I tell you to stay in your room as much as possible and not run around? ”

Junia glanced at Minte, who took a few steps away, and suddenly became interested in a bush of red roses outside the window

Junia focused her gaze on her fiancé and said, "I didn't run around, I just... I want to help you..."

Jada smiled disapprovingly, "What can you help me with?" Your Majesty has not even seen me and Sargent, will he still see you? Go back quickly," he said, pushing her away

Unconvinced, Junia pulled out a piccolo from her pocket: "I know Your Majesty is in a bad mood now, he used to say that I play the flute very well, and people who are in a bad mood will be happy when they hear it, I will play the flute here now, Your Majesty will definitely hear it, and when he is in a good mood and sees me, I will immediately beg him not to be angry with you, okay?" ”

Jada's face sank: "Don't mess around! Your Majesty has just finished the funeral, how can I be interested in listening to you play the flute?! Who's got the bad idea?! Go back to your room and stay there, or I'll go back to the castle!" ”

When Junia heard what he said, her eyes were red, she bit her lip, stomped her foot, turned her head and ran out of the palace gate, and when Shed, who was guarding the palace gate, saw this, shouted to her twice, chased a few steps, and looked back at Jada, Jada waved helplessly, and he chased Junia

Minter paced up, saw Jada with a headache, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't that right?" ”

"What's so bad? Junia is a little girl's temper, and when she is angry, she will be fine, and Shedd will coax her "Jada is more of something else," I don't know if it was her own idea, or if someone instigated her, in case she really played the flute here and disturbed Your Majesty, others would definitely say that my uncle and cousin had just died, and I couldn't wait to have fun and stimulate Your Majesty! Wouldn't my situation be more embarrassing when the time comes? ”

It's also true... Minter thought for a moment and said, "If you had told Miss Junia just now, she wouldn't have been so wronged, in fact, you should have reminded her more."

"How am I in the mood to coax her now? I still want someone to coax me! Jada whispered, "Originally, she was not safe outside the city, so she was brought in, and now those people are gone, just in case, let her move back to the castle, this palace is too chaotic... Not for a girl like her."

Minter frowned: "Are you stupid?" Now that rumors are flying, isn't it even more suspicious that you asked your fiancée to move out of the palace? And almost all of your people are dispatched, and there is no one in the castle to protect you, so you are not afraid that something will happen to her? You can't send Shedd, can you? Every time you make your fiancée angry, let Shedd comfort him, isn't it too much..."After a pause, he considered what words to use to describe it

Jada didn't take it to heart at all: "It's okay, the three of us grew up together, Junia is like our little sister Actually, both of their fathers are subordinates of my father, Junia's father sacrificed to save my father, my father once promised to take care of Junia for a lifetime, and also set a marriage contract for us Junia grew up in our family since she was a child, and she was pampered, maybe she was too pampered, not very sensible, and it has become more and more headaches in recent years, fortunately, she is still willing to listen to Shed's words, I was not so bothered as I was chatting as a group of people walked into the palace gate, and Minter recognized that the young man in the richly black mourning dress was the Earl Luthor, the second son of Prince Mario, and saw him walk in front of them with a proud face, and only glanced at Jada out of the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth turned up, as if mocking

Jada's face sank, and he turned his head away from them Luther's entourage but didn't intend to let him go, whispering to each other about how many times Jada was "kicked out" and how cheeky he was, but fortunately they didn't dare to say it out loud because they knew how to do it, but Jada still heard it clearly

Luthor stopped in front of the door of the king's room, turned back to his entourage, and said softly: "Gentlemen, be quiet" Seeing that everyone had complied, he proudly straightened his bow tie, brushed his hair, and then took out a small bottle, and applied it twice to his eyes, and his eyes immediately became red and swollen, he squeezed out a few tears, and raised his chin to the stunned court chief next to him: "Don't you report it soon?" Your Majesty summoned me! ”

The palace governor reacted at this time, and immediately entered the room to report, and after a while, he came out to invite Luthor in, who smiled proudly at Jada, and then changed his face and walked into the room

Jada suddenly turned around and left, and Minter hurriedly followed him and persuaded him, "It doesn't mean anything, you don't have to be angry with that kind of person"

Jada suddenly turned his head, his eyes were like a pool of black lakes, and there was no fluctuation: "I want to practice the sword technique, you accompany me through two moves, how about it?" ”

"Huh?" Minter didn't react for a while, and agreed casually, "Hey"

It didn't take long for him to regret that Jada seemed to have eaten the wrong thing, and he attacked him left and right without his life, and he was also ruthless, and vigorously slashed back to the palace to prepare the ground sword, and soon Jada made a few cuts, and was about to break, Minter threw it away, turned into his own unique reinforced ice sword, blocked Jada's slashing knife, and turned a short sword into his hand at the same time, stabbed him in the hand, knocked his weapon to the ground, jumped a few steps away, and scolded: "I'm not your enemy, why are you slashing me to death?!" ”

Jada gasped for air, and then he realized that he was exhausted, staggered to the wall, sat down reflexively, buried his head in his knees, and said nothing

Minter knew that he must still be thinking about what had just happened, and walked over to comfort him, but he suddenly saw him look up and shout, "Uncle is a bastard!" Startled, reflexively looked at the surrounding knife practice room quietly, only they were there, the soldiers who were originally in charge of guarding were transferred elsewhere after two riots Minte saw that no one else heard this, so he was relieved, looking at Jada's appearance, he couldn't help but complain: "What's it called?" I'm scared to death by you."

Jada stared at him with both eyes: "I ask you, why did Your Majesty do this to me?" What am I doing wrong? Do you think I'm the kind of person who will do anything for power? You can think of anything, he grew up watching me grow up, how could he not think of it?! Could it be that he... Just taking advantage of me? Now that I have no use value, is he going to kick me away and even use me as a scapegoat?! ”

Minter frowned, "What are you talking about?" Your Majesty is not that kind of person."

Jada smiled wryly: "Yes, too... He has always been gentle and kind... I've loved this uncle the most since I was a child, and I literally think of him as a second father, if... If he really is—" He buried his face in his palms and bowed his head

Minter couldn't get used to him like this, and said coldly: "Okay, don't put on a pitiful face, you are indeed a little wronged by this matter, but Your Majesty doesn't treat you as a prisoner, it's just that you feel uncomfortable, you think about what you've done recently, you know why he's angry"

"What did I do lately?" Jada wondered, "I've been doing what he ordered me lately, whether it's quelling the rebellion, imprisoning Lawler, or arresting Mario, what's wrong with me?" Thinking of this, he felt unhappy in his heart: "Hmph, I have done so many things for him, and he still blames me, obviously I am here to help him, his so-called biological mother, brother, and nephew only want to snatch his throne and force him to death!" He doesn't blame them, he blames me..."

His mouth was babbling, very different from his usual look, and when Minter saw it, he thought it was very cute, in fact, he was not a few years older than himself, but he put on an old face all the time, as if he were thirty or forty years old

Minter slowed his tone and said, "You did what Your Majesty wanted, but didn't you find out?" You are very eager, too anxious I have heard about your father's affairs, and I know why you are so anxious, but those people, although they are not very good to Your Majesty, after all, it is his closest relatives that you are so anxious, it must be for revenge, what will Your Majesty think when he sees it in his eyes? ”

What do you think? Jada looked at Minter thoughtfully, and suddenly understood what he meant, and jumped up: "I'll explain right away!" ”

Minter grabbed him: "Explain what?" Explain that you are not here for revenge? Don't be stupid, he knows it in his heart, but he can't accept it emotionally, besides, Prince Mario's death is too strange, how did the fire burn? Why didn't anyone find out? Prince Lawler was imprisoned, why was no one stopping him when he hit his head? When the guards found out, he was already in a coma, all of which proved that you didn't take good care of them, and if they didn't have an accident, His Majesty wouldn't blame you, but now that something happened, he can only take his anger out on you."

Jada was deflated: "And when is he going to be angry?" ”

Minter smiled: "Your Majesty is a very sensible person, even if you are angry, it will not really do anything to you, you better do your job well, don't let people catch you wrong" He picked up the ground sword on the ground and put it back in its original position: "You haven't been very attentive in the past two days, have you?" I heard the people below say, you made a few small mistakes, fortunately corrected them in time, now go back to the front palace to deal with government affairs, there are so many officials at once, there is almost no one to do anything, and the rest of the ministers are too busy to take care of eating."

Speaking of eating, it seems like it's dinner time, right? Minter looked at the moon outside the window and was about to urge Jada to move, but saw an unpredictable expression on his face: "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking," Jada said slowly, "what do you think if I go and cry to His Majesty and ask him to forgive me for my mistakes, I have only one relative, please don't leave me, and beg him to give me a fief by the way, and then recommend Luthor as crown prince?" ”

Mint glared at him for a while before squeezing out a sentence: "It's fake, you don't have that acting skills"

"Really?" Jada smiled, "Then I have to think about how to behave sincerely" and strode out, Minter was stunned before hurriedly following: "Hey..."

"What do you think of raw garlic? But the smell may be too obvious, and it's better to have something natural... By the way, the little secret of the ladies, I remember my mother used it when I was a child, maybe I should talk to Mrs. Cole."

What the hell is he trying to do? Minter watched angrily as he walked towards the King's bedchamber, only glanced at Luthor who came out of him, ignored the other party's disgraced but pretended to be angry, and walked straight in, found Mrs. Cole, and did not know what he had talked about, and when he reappeared, his eyes were only faintly red, and he really couldn't see it if he didn't look closely

Then he took the court steward and spoke for a long time, and then he took the dinner plate and entered the door posing as the steward, who watched helplessly and worriedly as he disappeared behind the door, and looked back at Minter, not knowing what to say

An hour later, when Jada opened the door with red and swollen eyes, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth was already on his lips, and he walked up to Mint and said, "Uncle asked me to rearrange the palace guards tomorrow, and said that the affairs of the front palace were temporarily handed over to me, when will he be cured?" ”

"Probably... In half a month," Minter hesitated, "You... It's done? ”

Jada smiled and put his confident "old face" back on: "Minter, I won't forget, you are my best friend for life!" ”

Minter was stunned, and suddenly felt that this title was a bit heavy, was he too deeply involved? Perhaps, he should have taken out the information about Prince Lawler's family and left this place earlier

The next day, he asked for leave, on the grounds that the king's food was almost used up, and he needed to be fitted again, but the palace was full of people, which would disturb him, and it was better to go home and be quietly married, and in private, his statement to Jada was: When he was not present, the work of serving the king would be done by the other party

Jada immediately understood his words, smiled gratefully, and said nothing

When night fell, Minter was dressed in black, carefully avoiding the secret sentry, and came to the palace of Prince Lawler, which was originally guarded by a large number of soldiers, since the death of the male master, half of the soldiers were removed, and the prince and concubine went back to her mother's house directly after leaving the palace, and now only the housekeeper and servants live, and the master's residence area is very quiet, only a few soldiers patrol by

Seeing the gap between the soldiers' patrols, Minter quickly infiltrated the main complex, pried open the window doors, and silently climbed in

At this time, Jada, who was working overtime on official business, welcomed Sargent, who excitedly brought him good news: "I caught a female spy, it was the Wisher woman who danced at the Queen Mother's birthday ball that day!" She approached Prince Lawler to get a lot of information, and we found a lot of good things in her! ”

Jada looked at the information he sent, and was also very surprised: "Okay... I didn't expect Lawler to hide so many things, I thought that the Prince's Mansion burned down, and the things would be gone, with these, none of those guys who were secretly doing ghosts wanted to run away! ”

Flipping through it, he suddenly thought, "You say... Could there be more valuable things in Lawler's house? We don't seem to have searched his house? ”

Sargent immediately gave a military salute: "I'll take someone to search tomorrow!" ”

"No!" Jada thought for a moment and stopped him, "I'll go tonight, bring your trustworthy soldiers, I can't wait to see more soon" He smiled, an unknown light flashing in his eyes
