――――――――――

The spring night always passed quickly, and when the Duchess woke up from the chirping birds outside the window, she found that the warm sunlight had passed through the gorgeous colored windows, and the colorful light and shadow fell on the brocade quilt, and an arm that was still rendered with a faint flush of jade lotus stretched out of the quilt, leaving traces of greed on her beautiful face, the corners of her lips outlined a touching temptation, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes gradually widened.

The memory of last night came flooding through her mind like a tidal wave, like a dream, a beautiful dream, a joy that she had never experienced before, and she still lay so lazily, unwilling to move.

It hurts......

She shifted slightly, which was her normal reaction when she became a real woman.

This reminded her of the last night when she had been in the same loud voice as Madame Andu, jerky and passionate, and of the brilliant blood-colored flowers, and the sheets that were drenched with undershirts and other things......

I couldn't help but think that in the end he put his arms around him, caressing her and letting her sleep peacefully, she couldn't imagine that she didn't feel uncomfortable lying in his arms.

She couldn't help but look around, but there was no longer him around, which made her feel a little lost, and a little lucky, thinking about her last night, it was completely indulgent to put aside everything, but now that she came back to her senses, she was really a little difficult to face him......

But when she saw the note he had left, the loss soon vanished.

It is certainly not convenient for her to move today. And the traces of joy on the body are too obvious. You'll have to clean it up yourself. And she also knew that he couldn't spend the night in the palace, otherwise he would go out of the palace early in the morning, even if he was strong in martial arts, he would inevitably not be discovered, and the matter of the two would soon spread to Heaphy, so ......

After all, she was still a duchess, and when she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel dark. Her titular duke's husband.

Thinking about why the seemingly loyal but ambitious duke didn't take advantage of Prince Loldon's rebellion this time?

I couldn't help but think of Yuan Qi's words again, after the defeat of Prince Luoerdong, the power of the army controlled by the duke was too great, so big that I was afraid that the royal family would not be able to sleep well, how would the royal family deal with the duke and the duke's palace?

At this time, in the king's bedchamber not far from the duchess, the king was also thinking about this question, in addition to the king, there was also his most trusted minister Andori and the queen's sister Sophia,

Not far away, Sophia was bending down to lift the king up from his half-reclining chair.

Andori also wondered if the queen didn't mind the king spending time with her sister a lot.

The king's body may not be able to do anything at all. So the queen is relieved, right?

However, he still handed the information in his hand to the king. This is all the information about the duke and the duke's palace, especially which is called the tutor of Huazhuang, and the king himself ordered to find out the origin.

While the king was flipping through it, Antori was waiting and was able to take charge of the king's secret affairs, which meant that he was one of the king's most trusted people.

Andoli noticed that His Majesty looked very carefully, sometimes puzzled, sometimes surprised, sometimes admired, this expression was expected by Andory, because the true identity of the Huaxing man named Huaxiang in the Duke's palace had been investigated.

"What do you think is the motive for this person named Yuan Qi to appear in the Duke's Palace?"

The king casually asked Andoli that even if he had an idea in mind, he would often refer to the opinions of his subordinates, which was sometimes a way of being a royal servant.

Antori was able to be trusted by the king, who understood that the king did not need his advice, but only the facts.

Andoli talked about what he learned from Huaxing and the Duke's Palace,

The king's frail body finally stood up, gently patting the things in his hand, and patting the scroll in his hand.

Knowing that the king's conversation was over, Andory bowed and withdrew.

"Sophia, the fairy jade girl powder you used is this person's."

The king glanced at Sophia and said.

The jade girl paste that is popular in Huaxing is now also very favored by the Xifei nobles, but it is only a member of the royal family like her who can enjoy the fairy jade girl powder.

Sophia also glanced at him, and slowly walked into the side of this weak man, although his body was extremely weak and he had not experienced too many things, but his wise mind and thoughts were still functioning normally.

The king's gaze fell on the buttocks of the purple tallow gown, and he surveyed her mature and full figure with an appreciative and satisfying gaze.

Sophia twisted her body slightly, and she had a charming and enchanting style, tasting a different flavor in the ambiguous atmosphere, which made her eyes have a trace of indescribable love, and a trace of gloom that she tried to hide.

"Really? Then Your Majesty means ......"

The spring sun shone warmly on the king's emaciated cheeks, and when he looked at the flowers blooming in the courtyard, his eyes seemed to be full of nostalgia, and it seemed to take a while to come back to his senses from such remembrance, and said:

"This proves that the Duchess and the Duke are not of the same mind."

The king turned back and said:

"At first, I thought that the duke was just a deep-rooted concept and was unwilling to let a woman inherit the title, but now I finally understand that the reason why the duke is unwilling to Lin Sa to inherit his title is that there is no king in Heffy's history who has been inherited by a woman."

"What do you mean......"

Sophia came up with a terrible word - rebellion.

"What's so strange about this, I'm seriously ill and disabled now, and Kingsley is still young, who has the strength to have such a mind, it's just that Lin Du is more forbearant than Lordon. But the Duchess was such a clever man, and she knew very well that Lindu had no chance of success in doing this, just as she saw that Lordon had no chance of success, so she chose to be on my side. ”

"Maybe she did this to cover the Duke and paralyze His Majesty?"

"It's not that I haven't thought about this, but in fact, there is no possibility, the duke is actually hooking up with Dongying, but the duchess has been closely related to Huaxing in recent years, which actually makes Dongying feel that the duke is stepping on two boats, so he will be suspicious ......of the duke's trust."

And now he has chosen a Huaxing champion as her husband for Lin Sha, so as to increase Lin Sha's inheritance chips? Your Majesty, you must already have a bamboo in your chest, right? ”

When the king heard this, he was slightly stunned, and Sophia woke up the dreamer with a word to clear away the irrelevant smoke, and he sighed a little when he was glad that he had such a wise lover.

She is very different from her sister Anne, that is, the queen, the queen is very virtuous, but she is too dull in politics, and if she wants the crown prince to survive the most dangerous time before growing up, in addition to arranging some loyal ministers to assist and eliminate hidden dangers, he also needs a person who knows the most to guide him in this regard.

It's just a pity to him that he was young and frivolous, he broke his body at a very young age, and now he is even more sick for a long time, which makes the two sisters ......"

"You know I have a plan?"

The king finally dispelled the regret in his heart and asked.

"It's just that I don't know what His Majesty is planning?"

Sophia didn't want to shine too brightly in front of him, in fact, now that she had taken on the responsibility of the unnamed queen, I was afraid that this very suspicious man might also be uneasy about her, and for a woman who was eager to participate in politics, there was definitely no lack of ambition.

"The Duke's strength is too great."

The king's already pale face showed an incomparably melancholy color:

"Especially since the Duke already has a different heart, that is the biggest threat. It is more important to eliminate such a threat without causing civil strife, and if this matter is dealt with well, it is more important than dealing with the rebellion of Prince Loldon. ”

"Your Majesty means ......"

Sophia had already thought of it in her heart, but asked with a little doubt. The king smiled slightly:

"Since the power of the duke is so huge, so huge that the royal family is afraid of it, then simply let it be divided, divide and rule, then it will make people feel at ease...... I'm tired, let's go back......"

Sophia nodded, although Prince Lordon's rebellion was quelled, the king's body was also more tired and his condition worsened, and now I am afraid that it is just a return to the light.

You have to use this time to do more things, you can further win over the duchess, you can follow the example of the Huaxing people to hold a big competition, recruit talents, you can follow the example of Huaxing, and strengthen the centralization of power, of course, these need to be packaged well, don't be too obvious......

After letting the king lie down and rest, Sophia returned to her room, lay on the bed and thought silently for a long time, before silently stepping down from the gorgeous couch and stepping into the next room.

The queen's head in the room twisted slightly, and the golden hair shone dazzlingly in the sunlight, although she did not apply much powder, but her demeanor showed a graceful and bright beauty, but it was still difficult to hide the beautiful and charming eyes full of melancholy under the thin eyebrows of the willow leaves. The sun shone on her fair face through the sea-blue curtain, and she looked at Sophia who came in, and then raised her head and said:

"Sophia ......"

"Sister, are you worried about that again? Sister, don't worry, with me, I will never be exposed......"

Sophia gently clinged to her arms, her little hands reaching into her clothes, moving slowly. After a while, the crystal clear snow skin of the two of them shimmered with a pink and moist halo, and the soft lines of the body were as graceful as a hibiscus out of water, which was really delicate, and the whole body exuded a charming charm.

The queen glanced at her sister coquettishly, and also pulled Sophia's skirt, stretched it in, and said:

"Everyone says you're the king's lover......"

"Actually, they didn't know that I was my sister's lover, and they knew that in fact, we sisters had been ...... since childhood" (to be continued......)
