After a chaotic thrashing, dead silence returned to the court. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Empress Pars stood in the study with a pale face, and the floor was full of messes, no matter how expensive the ornaments were, they could not live for more than three seconds in her hands. Twright was seriously wounded, Bowen was killed, and after the news came one after another, Empress Pars was stunned for a moment, and then became furious.

What are they doing here?

As an emperor, Empress Pars's political literacy is still very qualified, and she can see at a glance that the so-called "loyalty to His Majesty" is actually putting her on the fire rack and roasting her, putting her in a very embarrassing situation, whether it is advancing or retreating, it is very tricky.

Let's talk about Bowen first, originally Bowen's fate had already been sealed, that is, to use his life to appease the civilians who were angry and excited about the fire in Xiliu City. The effects of the Great Fire of Weststream City were so bad that the aristocrats' recklessness caused many people to complain about the aristocracy and the rulers of the empire. After all, people are intelligent animals with thoughts, not pigs, dogs, cows and sheep, and you will kill them. People think, and they have a variety of emotions because of their thinking.

In order to appease this emotion and the possibility of deeper harmful thoughts, Bowen must die, and he must die in front of the common people, in order to save him from all the guilt he has committed.

But now that he is dead, and he died "for the sake of His Majesty", what will those civilians think, what will the survivors of the fire in Xiliu City think? If it was before, she might have explained it and been confused, but now that she is on the wave of "civil rights", it is very likely that Bowen's death will be too private, which will cause a series of problems.

If there was only such a trouble, Empress Pars might only be angry, not angry, but more trouble was yet to come.

Bowen's words before he died made him a typical royalist nobleman, whether he was a royalist or not, whether he shouted that sentence from the heart when he was alive, at least he shouted it before he died, and the fact that he couldn't be changed, he became a royalist. He died for her, so what about the punishment for him and his family? The Privy Council and the Council of Elders have made a final decision to exile the Leos family to the Far North Ice Fields and the barbarians to fend for themselves.

Now Empress Pars was faced with the final verdict that had to be changed for some subjective reason, because Bowen was a royalist. Even if some people know in their hearts that the truth is not necessarily what they see and hear, she must do it. She can't let those royalist nobles chill their hearts, today the nobles sacrificed for the emperor, and the emperor had to send out exile to his family, which was simply forcing the nobles on her side to the side of the aristocratic group.

Not only to redeem the final verdict, but also to be tolerant and generous, even if not to let them continue to inherit Bowen's title, at least to give them a way out.

Empress Pars must think of her own interests, and she must tell the nobles who follow her that as long as they fight for her, and therefore those who die, no matter what wrong they have done in life, will receive the dignity they deserve and the preferential treatment of their family after death.

The trouble doesn't stop there, there's Twright.

Twright had just been arrested in the royal prison in the name of "tax evasion" when he was assassinated by the "radical royalist" Bowen, and if Empress Pars had nothing to do with her, I am afraid no one would believe her. This is obviously a well-designed murder and extermination, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and there is no reason for the mouth. On the contrary, people will think that Empress Pars wants to eradicate dissidents in this way, and Twright was not caught for tax evasion, but because he offended the Orlando royal family.

In order to prove that she had nothing to do with the matter, the Empress of Pars had to show generosity and release Twright to prove her innocence.

The fact that Twright had just been caught and that he was about to be released was a very heavy blow to the authority of the Orlando family. But she had to do it, in case something went wrong with Twright's personal freedom being controlled, she really couldn't explain it clearly.

It is said that an excellent ranger can shoot through two geese with one arrow, so Wren is the arrow god, and he shot through three geese with one arrow.

This matter obviously has an inseparable relationship with Wren, he only went to the Royal Prison to see Bowen once last month, and now Bowen has made so many troubles, to say that there is no contact between Wren and Bowen, Queen Pars is the first to disbelieve it!

This matter was definitely done by Wren!

The court servants outside the study lowered their heads and looked at the ground in front of them, as if there was something attractive there, and they wished that they didn't exist, for fear that they would be killed by the angry Empress Pars, and they would die in vain.

There was a moment of silence in the study before Empress Pars came out of the study. From her expression, there was no trace of anything to do with the tyranny in the study just now, she was as graceful and luxurious as ever, elegant and dignified, and her tense face exuded endless majesty. She rolled her eyes, glanced at the maids and servants standing by the door, and snorted softly. The hum was insignificant, but it was like thunder in the ears of these subordinates.

"No one is allowed to reveal what happened just now. Clean up the inside, if I hear the slightest wind...... Humph!", she snorted coldly, and walked towards the bedroom with very rhythmic steps. She's going to change her clothes, she's going to find Wren.

Wren said she couldn't come, but she could.

She was reluctant to go before, it was because she didn't want to put down her shelf and face, but she was Her Majesty the Empress, the master of this empire, the supreme ruler.

Of course, the master also has the owner's troubles, for example, if someone doesn't give her face, she can't show it, and she has to pretend to be generous, at least to maintain the status and dignity of the master.

But it didn't matter now, she had to meet with Wren, immediately, immediately!

It is necessary to make a deal with Wren before he does something new, so that he can stay honest and stop making trouble for himself.

For this guy Wren, Queen Pars would love to use him, because this guy's execution ability is a bit too strong, and he is too smart. Wren wanted to stir up a political storm through the floor-to-ceiling window incident, why did Empress Pars agree in one bite, and didn't even refuse or hesitate? In addition to wanting to use Wren's knife to eradicate her enemies, there were deeper thoughts. She wanted Wren to become an enemy of the aristocratic class, so that he could only become a "lonely minister", ostracized and isolated by the nobility.

If Wren wants to continue to make a difference, he must obey her and become a sword in her hand.

She wasn't surprised that Wren could see her intentions, but she couldn't see Wren's thoughts, which made her a little panicked. As an emperor, if you can't control your courtiers, it means that the emperor is not a competent emperor. An emperor has become incompetent, and that's a dangerous sign.

So she had to meet with Wren and couldn't wait any longer.

If there's anyone who always surprises the Queen of Pars, it's Wren's place on this list.

Just as Empress Pars had changed into civilian clothes and was about to leave, Wren actually came, one step ahead of her. Clever people tend to be too clever and cranky, and at the moment she heard the news from her subordinates, an indescribable sense of shame appeared in the heart of the Empress Pars, and she took another step behind Wren.

Empress Pars is also a young man, and young people always have some mentality that belongs to this age, and comparison, is one of them. As the supreme ruler of the empire, Empress Pars always likes to compare herself with others, and she looks down on the vast majority of people, believing that she is better and better than the vast majority. She looks down on these people who are inferior to her high in the clouds, she will maintain the dignity and reserve of an emperor, and she will have a sense of superiority that arises spontaneously.

This superiority felt that Rennes was here, and it was gone.

She had a sense of shame that she was being played by Wren, as if her every move, every thought, every step was within Wren's calculations. She is no longer the chess player who sees the overall situation in her hands, but constantly passively responds to the weak.

The indescribable complex emotions in her eyes flashed away, and she quickly collected her emotions and asked Ren to come to the back garden. The study was smashed by her, and it must not be known and seen by Wren, which will only expose more of his weakness and incompetence.

After waiting in the garden for less than a moment, Wren came with a smile.

Looking at Wren, Empress Pars's mood was extremely complicated, but her face was silent, standing on the edge of the pruned low bush and smiling, "Walk with me?"

Wren behaved like a gentleman, as if none of the things that lacked virtue were his doing, and he owed a debt with a warm smile, "As you wish!"

The two of them walked side by side in the garden, the gardeners of the royal family were probably the most outstanding people in the entire empire, it was late autumn, and many plants were beginning to wither and yellow, but here they did not feel a trace of late autumn slaughter, still like the height of summer, full of vitality.

"Every time you use honorifics, my heart is always terrified. In the end, Empress Pars did not hold back, and opened her mouth with a small sarcasm.

Ordinary people might be frightened into saying a complete sentence in the face of such obvious sarcasm from His Majesty the Emperor, but Wren said with a hippie smile: "Thank you for your compliment, it's my honor." ”

This slut!

Empress Pars looked at the smiling Wren, and was furious, she couldn't help it, and scolded in her heart!
