The heavy door of the Hall of Seven was pushed open, and someone walked in. Two together. The herald's high-pitched voice reported: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Her Royal Highness the fourth princess are coming!" and the last word "pro" was pulled into a long sound.

Both came, the two heirs to the throne before him. He smiled, but did not show it on his face.

My good niece, the prettiest niece, she naively thought she had brought a helper, she was too immature in this dangerous game.

It is true that it would be more appropriate for the cabinet to invite the two heirs together, but he did not plan to dispose of Long Biyue on the spot, she was another trouble and had other plans. Breaking them one by one is the best way. However, Long Dailan didn't give him such a chance, so it's okay to let me solve it once and for all. He looked at the two nieces quietly, his mind spinning fast.

On behalf of the Cabinet, Takuken Dazai welcomed the two heirs. "Your Highnesses, welcome to the Hall of the Sacred. The death of the first king, seeing the two highnesses, is especially sour and sad. A kingdom cannot be left without a king, and today is the time to discuss the matter of heirs. Please forgive Your Highness for this unintentional negligence, I should have invited the two Highnesses together, but the eldest princess was wise and thoughtful. ”

Zhuo Xuan led the two highnesses to their seats—sitting in the last seat after Anqing, but neither of them was willing to sit next to Anqing, and several seats were separated.

"The time of the month has come, and the delay of the Dragon Court meeting so late makes people feel the diligence and hard work of all the adults. Both princesses wore golden skirts that symbolized their status, covered with a golden hairnet with red and green orbs, and under the hairnet, Long Dailan wore a high bun to symbolize marriage, and Long Biyue wore a shawl for her hair. The eldest princess's speech was clear and calm: "What kind of topics are being discussed at the meeting now, and what kind of results have been achieved, please Dazai-sama give an explanation to my sister." ”

Asked very cleverly, she must have noticed that there was one less person in the room, her most important swordsman. She panicked, not knowing what was going on. My good niece, the prettiest niece.

Zhuo Xuan sat and nodded to the two princesses, he spoke very slowly, as if he had to think before saying every word. "Your Highnesses, there are many topics discussed and very important progress has been made at today's meeting, and some of these results can be shared with Your Highnesses. As for the current topic, it naturally involves the legal heirs of the previous kings. ”

Ryu Seungtian was very satisfied, Dazai's words were slow and powerful, measured, and most importantly, he said some nonsense. His nieces don't need anything to share, they just need to hear the final judgment.

"We're listening. Long Dailan's silver bell-like voice was very pleasant, and she was trying her best to appear relaxed.

"The chief imperial physician, An Qing, made a statement about the condition of the former king in front of the cabinet, and we learned that the prescription he prescribed to the former king had been tampered with, which caused the dosage of the medicine to be poor, so the effect of the medicine did not meet expectations, but worsened the condition. ”

"Whose fault is this?" Long Dailan looked at him with a gaze as sharp as a blade.

"The number of people who have access to the potion is obvious, there are only a few people, and Lord Zheng will conduct a thorough investigation of this, and there will be a clear result soon. Zhuo Xuan's words were responded to by Zheng Kuan. "We also found out that Yu Jian, the chief bodyguard of the Dragon Monarch, had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country three months ago, and privately met with Agaza, one of the barbarian leaders, Yu Jian confessed to this and has been imprisoned in accordance with the law. ”

The expressions of the two good nieces turned cloudy, and the mood swings of the little niece were especially obvious. But the eldest niece is in good control. Long Chengtian closed his eyes, the two hares were in a panic, the opportunity he was waiting for was about to come.

"That's outright slander! How could the teacher collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? Adults, you must be mistaken!" the little princess Long Biyue was furious.

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, you have forgotten what Your Majesty said, and he himself confessed to it. Zhuo Xuan maintained his slow and calm tone.

"You forgot, Dazai-sama. Long Dailan said, "We were not here when Yu Jian 'confessed'. She said the word "confession" very loudly.

"If Your Excellency remembers correctly, it is only when the issue of electing an heir is that His Highness automatically obtains the right to sit in the Dragon Court Council. Zhuo Xuan responded calmly.

"That's right, you're proficient in every word of the Codex, and you know very well that I'll be your Dragon Monarch right away. Long Dailan's eyes were burning and she looked directly at Zhuo Xuan. "Do you think Long Jun is not qualified to know the full details of the crimes her guards are charged with?"

A girl who doesn't know the depths. Long Chengtian opened his eyes, leaned his elbows on the armrests of the chair, crossed his fingers, his posture was casual, and his tone was relaxed: "You are not Long Jun yet, my good niece." ”

"My sister soon is. Long Biyue quickly counterattacked.

"But not yet. He slowly stood up, his hands propped on the teak table painted with dark red and dark gold shading, and looked at the two nieces with his falcon-like gaze. "And, it won't be. ”

The Seven Sons Hall was silent, and there was a dead silence.

Long Biyue was stunned by these words, and there was a flash of anger in Long Dailan's eyes. The two hares were utterly enraged. If he is angry, he is easy to lose control, and if he loses control, he is easy to reveal flaws, and once a flaw appears, it is when he shoots a fatal arrow.

"Bold! you are plotting rebellion!" Long Biyue stood up and stretched out a hand to point at her second uncle. She's tall, she's been lying in a hospital bed for two months after breaking her arm last time, and she's grown taller.

Now it's his showtime. Sophisticated hunters are at ease with prey that have fallen into a trap and can play with pride as much as they want. It's just a relaxing game. Victory is in sight, enjoy the pleasure.

He didn't show any expression, neither anger nor anxiety, because he didn't have any of that in his heart. He left his seat, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards his nieces one step at a time. He uttered every word equally slowly: "Good niece, your eldest sister will never be able to become a dragon monarch." ”

He walked up to them, and the hunter examined his prey. Relax and enjoy the pleasure.

Long Biyue angrily raised her left hand and hit him in the face. But it didn't work out.

The hunter's large, thick and powerful hand quickly grabbed the small, feeble wrist of the prey. It's easy and enjoyable.

"Let her go!" Long Dailan snapped. She met his eyes and didn't back down.

Brave but unstrategic, immature young dragon, such a stage is not for you. "Ah, forgive my offense, Your Highness. But the little princess should not be so rude to her uncle, and I remember that the elder brother of the former king always attached great importance to etiquette education. I understand that the little princess is just impulsive, it must be the negligence of our Lord Shaozai, I should ask Gu Sheng when I go back. He snorted softly and let go of his hand. "Everyone here already knows, eldest niece, your not-so-honorable deeds. Everyone knows that you no longer have the right to inherit. The Holy King tells us that the responsibility lies on my shoulders, and I have deeply felt that there is a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and that I am obliged to fulfill my responsibility. ”

The prey stood in front of the hunter, and a short, thin child stood in front of a tall and strong adult, how delicate and vulnerable he looked.

"My good niece, the question you should consider now is, how big is your crime, what kind of punishment you will receive, how can you still dream of the throne of the Dragon Monarch?" he chuckled softly, looking at his niece mockingly. "A sinner actually dreams of becoming a dragon king?"

She still kept her tone steady, no matter how flustered and frightened she was, at least she didn't show it, which was not bad, and deserved to be praised. "Lord Zheng, the code is clearly written: no one is allowed to bring troops into the palace without the permission of Long Jun himself, do you remember?"

"Your Majesty remembers that the Code does have such a provision. The canon replied.

"On the fourth day of the Kneeling Day, the general led his troops into the inner palace, did the cabinet convict him?"

She tries to catch the flaw and fight back, like a person about to drown looking for a piece of driftwood. That's all in vain, my good niece.

"Your Highness, it was the general led by Yuan Yiping who entered the inner palace that day, and they did not belong to the military cabinet establishment, so they could not be regarded as violating the law. Zheng Kuan's tone was calm, and there was a slight smug in his small eyes.

"Personal guards? There are only three situations that are allowed to be fully armed in the palace, one is the Dragon Monarch's guard, the second is the royal capital guard, and the third is the designated personnel who are allowed to enter the palace by the Dragon Monarch. Could it be that my father, the king, lying in a coffin, issued a charter?" the eldest niece's eyes burned with fire.

Long Chengtian chuckled: "Eldest niece, my royal brother has not issued a charter for you to commit adultery with his personal guard. ”

The prey's face changed. She finally couldn't control her expression anymore, and shock and anger were clearly plastered all over her face. What a helplessness the anger that comes from being toyed with by a hunter. However, she still intends to hold on. My brother did educate her very well.

"Slander! Utter slander! In order to achieve your goal, you dare to say anything shameless!" the little princess roared angrily. Her fists were clenched, and her whole body was like a taut bowstring.

That long face looks like my brother Wang.

"Sinners do exist in this hall. You can talk about my alleged crimes here, and I will listen to every one of your false accusations. Long Dailan no longer looked at him, no matter how much fire was burning in her heart, how much anger was venting on her expression, but she always remained calm in her words. "Malicious slander against a member of the royal family is enough to send you to prison. In this sacred hall, the code is silent, but the dragon god has eyes. ”

Long Chengtian turned around, his hands behind his back, and his back to his nieces. "Big niece, do you think that if you have the support of the northerners, you can be unscrupulous here? As you said, this is the Hall of the Seven Sons, not your Qingfeng Palace, let alone the Golden Castle. You can sprinkle around in those places and behave like a vulgar country peasant woman, and no one cares, but you can't do that in the Hall of the Seven Sons. You don't belong here, and you can't offend here. ”

He showed a modicum of sympathy and continued to taunt his niece. "The scandal of your adultery with Yu Jian will spread like the morning sun throughout the kingdom, and the people of the royal capital will immediately see the proof. You will be spurned by all the boxers. I feel sorry for my brother king, thou unscrupulous dragon breed, thou ”

As soon as the words fell, Long Biyue suddenly rushed over, shook his hand and hit him again, but he also had eyes behind him, and he reacted very quickly, stretched out his giant palm, and grabbed Long Biyue's wrist again.

"You despicable and shameless villain, coveting the position of the Dragon Monarch, plotting a conspiracy to murder your loved ones, and committing a crime that is the outrage of people and gods! Even if my sister can't be the Dragon Monarch, I won't let you succeed! Why don't you let your 100,000 army enter the palace, anyway, you have already led the troops to rush to the gate of the Spirit Palace, tied us up, and then sat on the throne with peace of mind?"

Long Dailan looked at him coldly: "As my sister said, sinners. You have committed as many crimes as you have fabricated for me. Your slander is enough proof of your rebellious intentions. But you won't sit on the throne unless I'm dead. ”

"The cabinet will discuss how to decide how you and Long Jun's guard have fornicated and are pregnant!" Long Chengtian looked up and laughed. "Someone! Take down the eldest princess!"

The four guards immediately entered the hall and tied Long Dailan's arms behind her back. Long Dailan didn't move, she didn't fight back, she didn't even protest. The prey knows very well that it makes no sense.

Her cold gaze swept over everyone at the conference table: "You sinners of the country will definitely pay the price for today's rebellion!" Long Biyue was not as calm as her eldest sister, she struggled frantically, beating Long Chengtian.

"Put the eldest princess in prison. The little princess has lost control of her emotions and takes her to recuperate and recover. Long Chengtian stretched out his five fingers and asked the guards to take Long Biyue away, and then said, "Today's meeting is over, and it will continue tomorrow." ”

A roar suddenly sounded in the Hall of the Seven Sons, resounding like thunder. "Bold! Long Chengtian, you dare to commit it! Plotting against the heir of the Dragon Monarch, aren't you afraid of divine punishment?" Qiu De, the national craftsman, stood up, pointed to everyone present, and rebuked: "Your power is all the gift of the previous king, and now you have broken your oath of allegiance to the country and the previous king, and one by one you have stood by the side of the traitor! The dragon god is above! Please inform the world of this crime, so that they will be ...... forever."

Zheng Kuan, who was sitting beside him, suddenly stood up, took out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed it into Qiu De's waist, moving quickly, accurately and effectively. Blood gushed out instantly, splashing all over the teak chair behind Qiu De and Zheng Kuan's cabinet purple and gold robe, and the country's wide open mouth couldn't finish saying that sentence anymore, stared at his eyes, and fell.

"This is yet another crime of the Chief Dragon Monarch's guard, and we have all witnessed it with our own eyes. The hunter calmly pronounced his sentence.

That's it, enjoy the pleasure.
