In the imperial palace of the imperial capital, the queen came to the emperor's palace in order to fight for control of the grizzly army and invite a reward for the marquis of griffins, and was chattering repeatedly to persuade the old and frail emperor, when suddenly a chamberlain walked in quickly and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After listening to the report of the chamberlain, the emperor's body, which was originally like a wind candle, suddenly straightened up, although his old and old face was still decrepit, but a pair of cloudy and dull eyes also had a little brilliance.

"I know what you said, let's stop for a moment, after all, what happened on the front line is just Griffins's statement, and now that McShoeaugh's military report has been delivered, let's see what McShunner said first!" The emperor's attitude was very different from the previous appearance of Runuo, as if he had found the backbone, which made the queen's heart sink suddenly.

Not long after, an attendant, escorted by several palace guards on duty, arrived at the Emperor's chambers and respectfully delivered McShoughner's military report to His Majesty. When the emperor was flipping through the military newspaper in his hand, the empress noticed that the emperor's eyes were becoming more and more aggressive, and the trembling amplitude of his thin palms like chicken claws was getting bigger and bigger.

"Smack!"

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the sudden throwing of the military report in his hand at the feet of the Empress, and roared angrily: "Look at it! Look at it! This is the hero you said! This is the Griffins you protect! In vain, I trusted him so much and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency, and he actually led the army to escape from the battle and fell into disregard of the Grizzly Legion! He dared to say anything in return to save the Grizzly Legion in danger and fight hard to repel the Southern Army! What nonsense! Damn it! Damn it! Don't say any reward, even if I kill him a hundred times, it will not be enough to relieve my hatred!"

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry, the Empress calmed down, picked up the military newspaper on the ground in a hurry, opened it casually and looked at it, her eyes rolled a few times in her eyes, and then she raised her head and argued slyly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is just what McHuner said, and it is not enough to prove that the Marquis of Griffins lied, in my opinion, it is very likely that McShoughner knew that he was defeated, and deliberately framed the Marquis of Griffins, trying to shirk the responsibility to exonerate himself!" This McHuner is really ill-intentioned, and the failure of this counterinsurgency is all because he is greedy for merit, and now he even dares to falsely accuse his boss. If Your Majesty does not punish him severely, I am afraid that he will disappoint all the nobles and the people!"

"You ......" Seeing that the queen not only did not admit her mistake, but instead bit back and deducted all the charges to McShuner, the emperor was speechless for a while, one hand trembled and pointed angrily at the queen, but the other hand covered his chest, his face showed a twisted and uncomfortable expression, and slowly leaned into the chair.

Several chamberlains standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward to fan the wind, stroke the chest, and feed the medicine for His Majesty the Emperor, and they worked for a long time to make His Majesty the Emperor feel relieved. Just when His Majesty the Emperor felt a little more comfortable and made up his mind to save McHuner even if he turned his face with the Empress, a series of hurried and panicked footsteps sounded outside the palace.

Andrews, the deputy commander of the palace on duty, hurriedly ran in from outside. After Andrews saluted the emperor and empress, he reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the royal mage has received an urgent military report from the southern city of Lien, and he does not dare to delay so he is rude, please atone for your sins!"

After Andrews finished speaking, he took advantage of the opportunity for the chamberlain to step forward to receive the military report, and quietly glanced in the direction of the queen and bowed slightly. Receiving Andrews's signal, the queen was reassured, although she didn't know what it was, it should be a good thing to look at Andrews's appearance, and it was estimated that it would be beneficial to herself.

The old emperor reclined in a high, wide-backed chair, and the small movements between Andrews and the Empress were in full view. Although the old emperor was angry in his heart, he did not have a seizure on his face, but secretly decided in his heart that this Andrews must not be used again. Although the old emperor has handed over all government affairs to the queen and her subordinates in recent years due to his weak health and lack of energy, out of the consideration of his own safety for those in high positions, the old emperor still firmly grasps the military power of the empire and will never allow others to touch it. Now the queen actually put her hand into her guards, directly offending the old emperor's scales, although the queen can't do anything, but it is still easy to deal with a deputy commander.

Receiving the magic message from the hand of the inner attendant, the old emperor was stunned and asked, "How can there be two copies?"

"Your Majesty, one was sent by the Marquis of Griffins, and the other was delivered by Prince Raymond through a secret passage. Andrews replied respectfully.

The old emperor opened the magic teleportation and read it quietly, reading one copy and then another. The empress secretly observed the expression of His Majesty the Emperor, but found that the old emperor suddenly sat up straight, his eyes widened suddenly, and his face uncontrollably revealed an expression of surprise, joy, annoyance, disbelief, and many other complex contents, which was not at all the style of the old emperor who was deep and obscure.

After reading it, the emperor ordered the chamberlain to send the magic message to the queen to read. Only then did the Empress discover that the Marquis of Griffins's military report said that with the assistance of Prince Raymond, he sent people to infiltrate the south, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Southern Army pouring out of the nest and the empty defense of the Grand Duke of Wagner, and broke the camp of the Grand Duke's personal guard in one fell swoop, and captured the rebel thief chief Archduke Wagner back to the city of Rien. Prince Raymond's military report was much more detailed, detailing how he and Leo were ordered to infiltrate the South, how to capture Grand Duke Wagner alive, and the process of the ambush of the Grizzly Legion from all sides, and praised Leo for his wisdom and bravery.

I have to say that Prince Raymond still knows the urine nature of the Marquis of Griffins very well, and knows that the Marquis of Griffins will definitely compete for merit, and a small nobleman like Leo may not be mentioned, so he sent a magical message to the imperial capital alone, describing what happened in detail, so as not to be taken away by the Marquis of Griffins.

After reading Griffins and Raymond's military report, the queen had mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad. Although the reward of Prince Raymond can confirm the responsibility for McShuner's defeat, Griffins is not pleased, and things such as escaping and concealing the facts are enough to make him disgraced and punished. The queen was stunned to find that in this counterinsurgency farce, the only one who benefited was the third prince Raymond, who was not born to her, and had always been submissive and never looked down upon.

The queen's heart jumped, and her vigilance was exhausted. Now the old emperor may return to the arms of the goddess in his last years, the former prince died in the northern frontier many years ago, and his own son the second prince was born with cerebral palsy, with the temple priest carefully cared for, but still unable to be like a normal person, if this third prince, who has been on the edge of the inconspicuous at this time, to win the favor of the old emperor, I am afraid that it will pose a threat to the major event of relying on his people to fight for control of the empire.

"Hehe! This Raymond! It's really not worrying, when I ordered him to join the counterinsurgency army to go through training, I repeatedly told him to pay attention to hiding his identity, so as not to be discovered by others to avoid being used, I didn't think that something went wrong, I guess this Leo Covinus is not a good thing, and it is really ill-intentioned to encourage the prince to infiltrate the enemy territory and risk his life! But it confirmed the responsibility of McShuner's defeat. The queen chuckled, but her mouth uttered a vicious word that killed people without seeing blood. Being able to control the political situation, the queen is naturally not easy to match, and a series of fights not only erased the exploits of Raymond and Leo, but also confirmed the defeat of McShouner.

Just as the empress was worried, the old emperor's heart remembered the third prince who he had forgotten on the edge with the military report. Raymond, who has been unpopular since childhood because of his mother's humble background, has always been submissive, although he has a certain talent for magic, he has never been valued by the emperor, and he has no impression of him at all in the old emperor's heart, but now this military report has reminded the old emperor. In the queen's family controlled the situation, the eldest prince died in the northern frontier, and the second prince was born disabled, which Raymond seemed to fall from the sky. If you don't want the Varu Empire to fall into the hands of the queen family in a hundred years, then Prince Raymond is the best candidate to succeed him, which the old emperor secretly decides in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it is imperative that Griffins first take Wagner hostage to pacify the South, and at the same time deal with the responsibility for McShuner's reckless advance that led to the defeat of the Grizzlies. The empress pressed forward step by step, urging the old emperor aggressively.

After the old emperor made up his mind in his heart, he leaned back, leaned back on the wide-backed chair again, returned to his old half-dead appearance, and said slowly: "Griffins ignored his allies, fled from the battle, and lied about the military situation, which is a great sin, but he also has a share of credit for capturing Wagner this time, and ordered him to coerce Wagner to pacify the south as soon as possible and atone for his crimes." In addition, the Grizzly Bear Legion was ordered to rest on the spot, and Commander McShuner returned to the imperial capital to report on his duties. Leo Covenus was loyal and brave, and he made great achievements, giving him the title of baron, and the exact fief was determined when he returned to the imperial capital with Raymond to receive the reward. ”

After listening to the old emperor's order, the queen was overjoyed, Griffins was saved, and the punishment after McShuner returned to the imperial capital would definitely not be light, and he could take the opportunity to install his own people on the throne, but it was a pity that he did not suppress Prince Raymond, but it didn't matter, and when he returned to the palace, he was just a prince, and he was still left to his own hands.

When the empress had retired, the old emperor waved away all his attendants, and the palace returned to its previous silence, still reclining in his broad-backed chair, as motionless as a weathered statue, in deep thought. After a long time, the emperor suddenly spoke: "Now that I think about it, the affairs in the south are very strange, and the Wagner family has been loyal for generations, how could they suddenly rebel? How could Raymond be sent to lurk in the south? With his strength, how could he capture the old Wagner alive? There must be some mystery in this, and he ordered someone to go to the south to investigate thoroughly, and he must find out the whole thing! In addition, he sent more people to secretly protect the third prince, Raymond, and must ensure his safety!"

As soon as the old emperor's hoarse voice fell, a few black shadows faintly appeared in the shadows in the corner of the dormitory, and then disappeared in an instant.

"Hmph, Queen, Roy, Griffins, all of you want to steal the inheritance of my Gavin, what a delusional thought!" an old voice full of hatred sounded in the dark bedchamber.
