Chapter 148: After Death
Liu Pengfei walked out of the bedroom and left the queen's body in the room. The queen wanted to drink poisoned wine and die, but he did not carry it, and finally chose the way to hang her. It was Yaur who did it, but he watched the whole process on the side, but it was not an easy thing, seeing the beautiful woman, calling for help, struggling, and finally her throat was bloodied by her own fingers, which made Liu Pengfei feel a little guilty in his heart.
"Adults don't have to think about it. It was her luck that we had sent her to the gods, and if someone else had done it, she would have had no idea how much humiliation and suffering she would have to suffer. Yaur said after Liu Pengfei.
"Heh, you can see it?"
"It's normal to think like this, and those of us who often go to the battlefield always imagine how we are going to die. Everyone wants to die a happy death. Yaur's tone was very relaxed when he spoke of these things, obviously a man who was accustomed to life and death, "It is not a better choice to die honorably in the prime of life than to die in bed when you are too old to walk." ”
"Really, I hope I have a better ending. Liu Pengfei said.
"You'll get it. He threw the rope with which the queen had hanged him, "I think the princess will need this, it has taken on a special meaning to her." ”
Is it the end of an old era? Liu Pengfei looked at the rope, which still had a hint of red on it, which was the blood left on the queen's neck because of the struggle. He folded it up and put it in his pocket, ready to give it to the princess himself, which can be regarded as an explanation to the princess. Maybe years later it will be in some museum.
Liu Pengfei and Yaur walked to the second floor. But I saw Princess Laura walking up with Agudero and others, and there were several characters who seemed to be palace ministers walking with them.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, why did you come here?" asked Liu Pengfei puzzled.
Princess Laura didn't answer, but she looked very angry, but Agudero, who was beside him, said: "Your Majesty, it is His Excellency Liu Pengfei who took out an edict and said that it was signed by you personally. I just let him in, but then I felt that something was wrong, because you said that the queen was placed here to prevent someone from assassinating her and using her death to ruin your reputation. You asked us to protect her and not to be visited. That's why I'm here to report to you for verification. ”
Liu Pengfei was already stunned when he heard Agudero talking nonsense in a serious manner. At this time, he knew very well that today he had fallen into a trap, and there was no doubt that there was only one person who could push him to this point, and that was Princess Laura in front of him. In an instant, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat. He reached into his pocket, where he found a short-range random teleportation scroll that he had prepared.
Princess Laura nodded solemnly, she looked at Liu Pengfei, her eyes were full of mockery: "You did the right thing, I have never let anyone come here." Liu Pengfei betrayed my trust and secretly came to meet the queen privately. ”
At this moment, Yaur, behind him, shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Empress has been killed by this man! ”
Several people around the princess let out exclamations of surprise and hurried to the queen's room.
"Who are you?" asked a rather imposing minister beside the princess.
"My name is Yaur, and I am a knight of the Praetorian Guard, and I have been deceived by this man, and he has also taken out that decree, saying that the princess has asked me to come here to help him do something. I found out when I got here that he had come to meet the queen. When I entered the little building, I felt that something was wrong, and refused to go up with him, but then I was worried about what he would do to the queen, so I secretly followed, but I went too late, and saw him strangle the queen with a rope!"
At this time, one of the people who rushed up also returned and reported: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Queen has really been strangled by him. ”
Liu Pengfei saw that everyone was staring at him, and there were a few people dressed as guards, who had already put their hands on their weapons, he knew that all of them were a bureau, and it was useless to say anything, he didn't want to defend himself at all, so he jumped directly into the room on the side, locked the door, took out the teleportation scroll and began to cast a spell.
But in the panic, Liu Pengfei failed to concentrate on the first spell, the spell failed, and before the second spell was halfway through, the door was slammed open, and he saw a person waving his hand at the back of his head in the afterglow, and he lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of his eyes. Before he fell unconscious, he heard Yaur's voice: "Your Highness, you have caught him." ”
When Liu Pengfei woke up again, he felt that his face was full of cold water. Water droplets dripped from his hair, making him barely able to open his eyes.
He squeezed his eyes hard to see where he was, and he finally opened his eyes with a lot of effort, and saw that it was a dungeon, about the size of a living room, and the lighting hedron on the wall was a little dim, but it still illuminated the two people in front of him. One is Yaul with a bucket, and the other is Princess Laura herself.
Yaur woke up Liu Pengfei and walked out of the room, leaving Princess Laura alone in the cell.
The princess held her chin with her hand and quietly watched Liu Pengfei come to her senses, and when he finally looked up at her, Princess Laura said in a very helpless tone: "Pengfei, this is the last time I call you that." Actually, I used to like you very much, you are completely different from other stupid nobles, you are funny, erudite, you think of me in many places, and you have done many things for me. Though...... With your status, you can't be my prince, but it's good to be a lover. However, I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, you made a mistake that I can't tolerate, and that is betrayal!"
"Betrayal? I have always been sincere to you. When did you ever think of betraying you? It's not fair! I've won over a lot of ministers for you, I've cleared the queen's obstacles for you, and now you have everything, but you've thrown me out like garbage! Who betrayed whom!" Liu Pengfei said excitedly.
"My people have found out, it was because of your report that Luo Ling participated in the battle that night, causing a lot of chaos in the city, and she also attacked the team that captured Javier, which gave May the opportunity to escape with Javier. Do you know how much my dear brother means to me?" the princess's tone slowly turned cold.
