Chapter Forty-Eight: Drugged
Heaney opened the letter in front of Xu Mu, and Xu Mu was wondering how Heaney was blind and could see the words in the letter.
When the letter was taken out, Xu Mu found that there was no word on the letter, only a big engraving, which was the coat of arms of the Heaney royal family.
Heaney stretched out her slender hand and rubbed it on the letter for a while, as if to confirm something, she raised her hand to Xu Mu: "Help me up." ”
Xu Mu carefully lifted the Heani wing, the Heani wing's arm was slender and soft, and Xu Mu could even see the fluff on it clearly.
"Xu Mu. The first book on the left in the third row of the bookcase, you take it out. ”
Xu Mu didn't hesitate, came to the bedroom bookcase, and pulled out the first book on the left side of the third row, when he really wanted to go back to Heaney, he suddenly found that after the book was taken out, there was a lever in the bookcase: "This is..."
"Pull the lever down. ”
Xu Mu stretched out his hand, broke it gently, and the lever was easily pulled down.
Then the bookcase actually moved!
The bookcase trembled for a moment, and suddenly smoothed out to the empty space on the right, but it didn't make much noise.
When the bookcase was removed, a secret door was revealed, which was not large, but it was large enough for two people to pass.
"Help me down. ”
Seeing this, Xu Mu hurriedly went over to help up Heaney's wings, and the two walked slowly into the secret door, and it didn't take long for the two to come to a dark room.
The darkroom was small, with only a few candles on the walls, and then there were huge mirrors and two chairs underneath, and then there was nothing.
What caught Xu Mu's eye was the huge mirror in front of him.
The mirror is three meters high, and the corners of the mirror are carved with very fine magic crystals, and the light on it emits a faint white light.
After helping Heaney to the chair next to him, Heaney slowly spoke, "You can sit too." ”
Xu Mu responded and sat down on another chair unceremoniously.
When Heaniyi heard the sound of Xu Mu sitting down, she couldn't help laughing, her thin lips were light red, like clouds in the sunset, very beautiful.
"You are, as my sister said, a very strange person. ”
Xu Mu scratched his head: "Queen, she and Her Royal Highness the princess said me? What did you say? I remember that the queen doesn't seem to have been far away." ”
Heaney sat upright in his chair with an indifferent expression: "It's the mirror in front of me, this mirror can allow me to talk to Xenia a hundred miles away." ”
Xu Mu couldn't help but look up at the huge mirror in front of him.
Heaney raised her hand slightly, and a white magic mark appeared on her body, the magic mark turned into two, and the two turned into four, I don't know what spell she recited, and an invisible magic force hit the mirror.
If it was an ordinary mirror, it would inevitably shatter after feeling the attack of magic, but this huge mirror did not, but instead absorbed the magic power emitted by the Heani wing.
"Well, Xenia will contact us when she sees something strange in the mirror. Heaney clasped her hands together on her lap, and she whispered, "If you are a normal person, even if I invite him to sit down with me in front of me, which one is not frightened, even if you sit down, you have to excuse yourself a few times, you are good, just sit down." ”
Xu Mu couldn't help coughing in embarrassment: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm just... I don't know much about these politenesses, I'm a more direct person, I hope you Haihan. ”
To be honest, Xu Mu treated Heaney and Xenia in his heart, and he actually had two different feelings.
Xenia is the queen, and when he first meets Xenia, although he knows that he needs to be in awe in his heart, when he faces Xenia, he always neglects the superficial respect.
It's not that Xenia doesn't have the temperament of a superior, it's just that Xenia is more lively, and her brown-red eyes sometimes reveal a mischievous look, letting others know that she is thinking about something else.
But Heanie's wing is different, he has a strong majestic and natural temperament, obviously he didn't say anything, just sitting there, the person next to him couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure, which Xenia couldn't do.
And just this sofa chair, if Xenia was here, she would have leaned comfortably on it when she saw no outsiders, but Hiniyi was different, not only alone in the room but now, she maintained a serious and upright sitting posture.
If the temperament exuded by Josinia is like a flame and passionate, then the Heini wing is like a cold ice from the top of the Tianshan Mountain, and the important thing is that this solid ice also exudes a warm light...
Heanieyi didn't reply, but Xu Mu became a little embarrassed, scratched his head and took the initiative to find a topic: "When the queen asked me to send a letter, I also said... Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes were uncomfortable, how could she see the words, I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Princess to read the letter like this. ”
"The letter is engraved with the exclusive seal of the royal family of Heaney, and it has always been engraved on me, but after I left the capital, I left it to Xenia, and then if there is anything important, you can send the letter brought by this seal to me to prove your identity. ”
"I see. ”
Heaney was silent for a while, and then asked slowly, "Anna, did you just meet?"
"We chatted for a while. Xu Mu did not hide the admiration in his words, "Anna is a very great person. ”
"Indeed..."Xenia's face was a little lonely, "I used to be the first heir to the throne, since I was a child, I accompanied my father to run around, the noble fiefdom in the south of the kingdom rioted, I accompanied my father, there were giant demonic beasts on the western coast of the kingdom, and I also accompanied my father... Anna was the captain of her father's knights, so I had known Anna for a long time. ”
Xu Mu nodded, and then remembered that Heaniyi couldn't see it: "Anna, she told me that she can't let go of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so she will exchange everything she has for the opportunity to protect you by your side." ”
"yes... Obviously, she doesn't have to do this, although she is moved, but as a friend, I hope she can live a better life. Heaney paused for a moment and said embarrassedly, "Xu Mu, forgive me." I rarely get to talk to people, but I didn't expect that after you came, I had a lot to say, I hope you don't mind. ”
"Your Royal Highness the Princess is very kind! I am honored to be able to chat with you. Xu Mu asked suspiciously, "Isn't Anna by Her Royal Highness the Princess's side, don't you chat with her to relieve your boredom?"
Heaney shook his head slightly: "It's different... Anna is put on me physically and mentally, and if I reveal my strangeness, it will make Anna worried. So I wouldn't tell Anna if I had anything to do, even though she was my trusted friend. ”
Sure enough, it's not easy to be on top... Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh, obviously his friend was by his side, but in order not to let his friend worry about him, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Since Xenia still has some time to come, Knight Xu Mu, don't you mind listening to me say a few more words, right?" Heaherne's tone suddenly calmed down, and the atmosphere became a little serious.
"Of course, no problem, Your Highness Princess. ”
"You should know that a year ago I was the one who really wanted to ascend the throne of the Heane Kingdom. ”
"Yes. ”
"Then why didn't I ascend the throne?"
Xu Mu found that Heaney didn't continue, so he replied stubbornly: "Because... Your Royal Highness, Princess, you are not feeling well. ”
"You can just tell the rumors outside the kingdom without tabooing anything. ”
Seeing this, Xu Mu had no choice but to say bluntly: "I haven't been in the Heani Kingdom for a long time, but I have heard some rumors about the fact that Her Royal Highness the princess has not ascended the throne. It is said that the reason why Her Royal Highness did not succeed in ascending the throne is because Her Majesty drugged you a few days before you ascended the throne, causing you to lose sight in both eyes and unable to ascend the throne. ”
"Can you believe it?"
Xu Mu choked up and said slowly: "The Holy Maiden once told me that the relationship between the queen and you is not as it is said outside. ”
"Indeed... I don't have a bad relationship with Xenia, but it's true that she drugged me to blind both eyes. ”
Xu Mu's brain seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was a little incredible: "Is this true?"
"Really. Of course, Xenia didn't mean it..."Henia seemed to be recalling something, and his face was calm: "My father left, and I was busy with the enthronement, which caused some physical impairment, Xenia knew that I was not feeling well, so she asked for medicine from the court doctor, she brought the medicine and asked me to drink it, I didn't think much about it at the time, so I drank it directly... Then you'll know. ”
"This..."
"Actually... At first, like outsiders, I thought that Xenia wanted to be this king, so I framed me... Although Xenia desperately cried and apologized in front of me, it was true that I was blind, and it was true that I could not be the king, and it was true that she had to take my place on the throne. Heeny sighed softly, "I left the exclusive seal of royalty to Xenia, although Xenia, in her weak voice, begged me to stay and let me stay with her, she said she was afraid... But I left, because I really didn't want to stay in the court, and then I moved to live in the Academy of Magic. ”
Xu Mu swallowed his saliva, his brain was spinning quickly, he didn't expect things to change like this.
Heayi continued: "When I came to live in the Academy of Magic, I still thought that Xenia deliberately framed me, until half a year ago, when Anna had no way to succeed her, she left everything behind and came to me, and then she brought news of the capital, and I knew everything. ”
"That's?"
"Xenia ascended to the throne, but she was hollowed out, and she couldn't do anything every day. Even all the members of the knights who were in charge of his father were sent home, and even Anna, who was famous and accomplished in battle, could not succeed him... In the eyes of outsiders, this was all ordered by Xenia, who was afraid that the Knights would have me, but I knew through Anna that none of this was decided by Xenia herself. ”
Xu Mu was so smart, why didn't he understand what was going on after hearing this? His face couldn't help but be solemn: "Her Majesty was set aside by officials? And the so-called imperial doctor's replacement of medicine with poison was also arranged by those officials?"
"Xenia told me that you are smart. You're right. Heeny laughed a little to himself, "Heenia didn't do anything in the first half of the year, the only thing he did was to order the killing of all the imperial physicians in the palace, and even now there are no officials in the Heeny court about the imperial doctors. Xenia ordered this out of resentment, but in the eyes of outsiders, she was murderous... Sister, she's still too young. ”
"Who could it be?" Xu Mu said to himself a little, since the officials dared to do this, then someone must be taking the lead, who could it be? He suddenly remembered an old man, and couldn't help but say: "Torah?!"
