The moment the poison poured into the captive's ear, the captive fell straight like a piece of wood, paralyzed to the ground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, black blood flowed from his ears, nose, eyes, and mouth, and the Duke of East ordered one of the guards to come forward and examine it.

The guard half-knelt on the ground, touched his neck, and then bowed silently: "My lord, he is dead." ”

Heijian raised the medicine bottle again and said loudly: "This is a bachelor who risked his life to give it to me, and he found a bottle of potion and a secret recipe in the queen mother's dormitory, which is the one that poisoned the king. His conscience has tormented him, and he has escaped the surveillance of the palace guards to make this earth-shattering conspiracy public!"

"If the beak is adamant that the cause of death of this criminal is the same as that of the king, then it will be proved that he who is in charge of the Golden Palace at this time is the real murderer, the greatest beneficiary of the conspiracy, the blasphemous, and we must give them the judgment they deserve!"

The entire imperial capital was silent, and the people just looked at the dead silently, and they didn't care about the results of the bird's beak. (The beak, or doctor, is a man who knows nature, has its own guild within the Empire, is not subject to the regime, and has a unique attire.) ）

Because there is no way to prove whether the bottle of poison really came from a so-called court scholar, and there is no way to confirm whether the formula of the poison really came from the Queen Mother Lelia. Now that the Duke of East is in power, these statements are more like a show.

A man with a black broad-brimmed courtesy, a black robe, and a bird's beak mask over his face approached the corpse. He opened the dead man's eyes, put on gloves again, and knocked off a tooth soaked in black blood with an iron tool.

It was clearly visible that the tooth was as loose as a kernel of corn, and with a slight peel, it rolled off the gums, leaving the gums with dead ash.

The beak threw his teeth into a small jar filled with white liquid, which seemed to be boiled, spewing out a large amount of purple smoke, and the teeth clucked between the walls of the jar.

Finally, the white clear liquid turned into a black-purple slurry, and the bird's beak closed the lid and made a silent salute to the Duke of East.

"I am a person who perceives the nature of heaven and earth, and I hereby swear that all statements are true, otherwise the soul and body will be consumed by the forces of nature. ”

The beak bowed, then half-knelt, presented the glass bottle with both hands, and said, "This man died under the same potion as the king." ”

The Duke of East nodded in satisfaction and announced to the silent army, "The beak proves that the Queen Mother Lelia does have the potion to poison the king!"

"Now sitting on the Golden Throne is a child with no brains, who can't do anything but kill!"

"The other is a femme fatale full of intrigue, who does not hesitate to poison her husband, snatch the crown of the true God, and frame the faithful minister!"

"Sitting in the Imperial Council are all co-participants in the conspiracy, they besiege the imperial capital, cover up the facts, and kill Zhongliang! They all deserve to be tried! They are locked up in the central inquisition and sent to the dungeon!"

"How shocking! These betrayers, kingkillers, conspirators, gathered together, sat in the Imperial Council, and presided over the affairs of the state for so long!"

Black Sword spoke impassionedly, his army was silent, the streets were deserted except for corpses, and the Praetorian Guards hid in the Golden Palace to catch their breath.

"It's time to restore the truth and let the first king rest in peace!"

"Judge the sinner!" the Duke of Esther raised his sword, and the army responded in unison, the loud shout that made the entire imperial capital tremble.

Arthur Stanley was imprisoned at the Theatre Royal.

"No one thought I would be in this place. He laughed at himself, saying that even though the prostitutes and actors had all been evacuated, the pervasive smell of fat powder still made him sick.

This is a secret room at the end of the theater, the secret escape place of the Hall family.

Prince Arthur, who had been under house arrest in his domain, had suddenly broken into his mansion a week earlier and secretly taken him to the imperial capital.

When he woke up from the darkness and chaos, it was Chancellor of the Exchequer Evan Hall. The young man was richly dressed and had a goatee, and there was a sour stench of hypocrisy in his words.

"Your Excellency, I'm very sorry, but due to the urgency of the situation, we are inconvenient to explain to you, so we have lost our manners. You'll need to wait here for a few days until the coronation ceremony begins - by which time you will be the new King of the Sunset Empire, and don't forget our loyalty to you. ”

Arthur Stanley had just gasped for breath from his suffocation, and it took a while for him to clear his mind.

"I've talked to Mr. Diggs, and to your father, and they've told me almost nothing but that I'm going to be king, and now they're arresting me and telling me that the day of my accession to the throne is near?"

Evan Hall bowed silently and replied very politely, "I'm sorry, my lord. In fact, it's impossible to tell you everything – it's too complicated, you just have to accept the results. ”

"Well, since you don't want me to know, I'll take a guess about what you've done. ”

Arthur stared at Evan intently, his eyes were deeply sunken because of his serious illness, but at this time they flashed with a sharp light, which made people worry.

"First of all, the warlock somehow learned that there would not be a large number of Sanctuary troops fighting against Paliva, and that he might have a very strong spell power, confident that he would be able to annihilate the large number of ordinary Imperial troops. Obviously, he did that. ”

This statement surprised Evan a little - the prince had been under house arrest, he should not have known about the failure of the Imperial army's southern expedition, and more importantly, he should not have known the disposition of the army.

But the fact that this has spread throughout the empire only shows that Prince Arthur is not a prisoner with his legs broken and blinded, that he also has his own channels of information, and that he can avoid the eyes and ears of the Golden Palace and the Imperial Council, Evan is not surprised.

"Obviously, it would be very beneficial for the city of Paliva to defeat the Southern Expeditionary Army, at least to keep the Warlock and Carter alive and have a foothold. And it will be a serious blow to the royal family - if you guessed correctly, you have already made an agreement with the Sanctuary that if the southern expedition fails, the royal family will be convicted and the king will be deposed, so that I can ascend to the throne. ”

Arthur Stanley pressed closely, he hadn't spoken for a long time, and at this time he was nervous, and the flurry of words made him cough violently.

Evan did not deny it, nor did he step forward to support the future monarch, but just stood silently, a chill gradually spreading in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
