Late at night, Lin Shiya came to the palace gate

She held in her hand a battle report from the city of Priseli, as well as a letter written by Liuyun to the prince Shiyan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The guard at the door gave her a respectful salute and then sideways out of the way for her. After Ziliuyun became the commander of the Empire's Southwest Theater of Operations, in order to strengthen her ties with the front line, the prince Shiyan gave her the privilege of freely entering and leaving the palace.

The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the silent and empty corridors.

"Lin Xiu, please come here, Your Highness is in the study. ”

An officer of the Royal Guard came to Lin Shiya and said respectfully.

"I'm tired"

Lin Shiya nodded, and under the leadership of the officer, she walked towards the study.

"Let's take a break and have something to eat"

Xiaoxiao walked into the study, put a plate of dim sum and a bowl of steaming soup on the table, and then walked behind Shi Yan, gently squeezed his shoulder and said.

"Didn't you get a rest first?" Shi Yan closed the document in his hand and squeezed Xiaoxiao's hand with a smile.

A feeling of ease came over a shoulder. Let his heart suddenly be surrounded by a ray of sweetness.

"I've always thought so. The emperors and princes of human beings are people who can only enjoy themselves. I didn't expect you to be such a workaholic. You see. These days down. How thin have you become?" Xiaoxiao's hand slid lightly across Shi Yandi's face. Said lovingly.

"The Blood God Cult is not extinguished. The empire is in ruins. How can I sleep soundly?" Shi Yan sighed lightly.

Xiao Xiaojiao smiled. Pulled Shiyan up from the desk: "There is Earl Liuyun." Aren't you at ease? Take your time. Elven lands have lived for hundreds of years. You have land is time. Let's eat something first."

"Ever since he led the Black Hawk Special Operations Brigade to the Asman Empire. I'm very unsure. There was always a feeling that something was going to happen. ”

Shi Yan picked up a piece of dim sum from his plate. But he didn't have any appetite.

"Sister, are you okay?" He suddenly remembered Naya, who was far away in the fortress of Sith.

"Your Highness, Lin Xiu asks to see you"

Outside the study, the loud voice of the guard was heard.

"Please let her in" Shi Yan put the snack back on the plate, turned around and walked back to the desk.

Magical lights illuminate the study as if it were daylight.

Shi Yan stood in front of the table, holding the battle report and looking at it seriously.

Lin Shiya stood at the desk. His complexion was as calm as water.

For the head of an intelligence organization, in any case, she must remain absolutely calm. At this point, she had to stay calm enough, because she knew that the report could have serious consequences.

"Big brother, you disappointed me too much"

Shi Yan screamed sadly and angrily threw the battle report on the table. His face was pale, and his expression was terrified by anger.

"Your Highness, the Blood God Cult suddenly concentrated its elite forces to launch an attack on Priseli City. This is something that no one could have predicted. Lin Shiya looked at Shi Yan and said calmly.

"No," Shi Yan roared, "he promised me. Take care of Naya."

Two lines of tears slipped silently down Shi Yan's face.

"Sister, why don't you listen to your brother, why do you insist on going your own way," he muttered to himself.

"In war, anything can happen. Princess Naya died, and Count Liuyun was responsible, but he couldn't be blamed entirely. Lin Shiya continued.

When she received the battle report, her heart was extremely heavy. The demise of the Blood God Sect is for the Fire Cloud Empire and the entire Blue Moon Continent. It is great news, but the death of Princess Naya in battle is unacceptable bad news for the royal family. Lin Shiya was very aware of Princess Naya's status in the Huoyun Empire, and she also knew Emperor George's deep affection for this daughter and Prince Shiyan's affection for this sister. If this matter is not handled well, it is likely to affect the relationship between Count Liuyun and the royal family.

"If it weren't for the fact that he left Priseli City at a critical time, Naya wouldn't have died in the fortress of Sit," Shi Yan pushed away Xiao Xiao who came forward to help him, and said in a cold tone.

Shi Yan's anger did not make Lin Shiya flinch.

She said-for-tat: "Your Highness." Count Liuyun went to the Asman Empire, and you agreed. At the same time, you also forgot one thing, Princess Naya is not only a princess of the royal family, she is also the commander of the Fire Phoenix Legion, she is a soldier, and it is a common thing for a soldier to die on the battlefield"

Shi Yan raised his head and looked at Lin Shiya, and said word by word: "You mean, my sister deserves to die?"

"No, Your Highness. I want to say yes. When the Cult of Blood is overwhelmed. Princess Naya has not forgotten the people of Prisli City behind her, nor has she forgotten the country where she was born. She faithfully fulfilled the duties of a military man, therefore, she was an example to all nobles, and she was worthy of the title of Imperial Princess"

is also a woman, and is also the most outstanding woman of this era, Princess Naya's death not only made Lin Shiya feel heartache, but also made her deeply admire.

Shi Yan retreated and sat down in his chair.

Lin Shiya also stopped talking.

Xiaoxiao stood behind Shi Yan and looked at her man helplessly.

Inside the study, the silence was eerily terrifying.

"Here, there is also a letter written to you by Count Liuyun, please take a look at it Your Highness. ”

After Shiyan's mood eased a little, Lin Shiya stepped forward and gently placed the flowing cloud letter on the desk.

"Your Highness, no matter what, the Blood God Cult is gone, we have won this war, and there are still many things you need to deal with after the war is over. Please forgive me for taking the liberty of saying that you are not only the brother of Princess Naya, but you are also the ruling prince of the Fire Cloud Empire."

Long after Lin Shiya left, Shi Yan picked up the letter on the table and opened it.

After reading the letter, Shi Yan's expression became even more gloomy.

"Xiaoxiao, go back to your room to rest, I'm going to see my father. ”

Shi Yan stood up, gently hugged Xiaoxiao, picked up the battle report and the letter written to him by Liuyun, turned around and walked out of the study.

After lying on the bed and reading the battle report, George slowly closed his eyes, and his face twitched slightly.

"Father" Shi Yan called nervously. He was afraid of his father's illness and could not bear the grief caused by Naya's departure.

Unexpectedly, George suddenly opened his eyes. looked at Shi Yan and smiled: "Emperor, don't be sad, you should be proud of your sister"

This elderly emperor has experienced too many vicissitudes of blood, tears, joys and sorrows in his life, and he chewed the great grief of his beloved daughter's departure and swallowed it.

"Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors left the time when Cloud City fell. It is the ancestral training when the blood of the royal family is exhausted. Over the past few hundred years, Huoyun has experienced countless wars and is still standing, and this ancestral motto has contributed a lot. Because, in these hundreds of years, there have been countless members of the royal family who died on the battlefield for this country. However, they shed their blood and died to defend the dignity and power of the royal family. Not the land of fire clouds and the people who live on it. And my daughter gave this ancestral motto a new meaning: the royal family is not only a symbol of imperial power. It is also the guardian of the country and the people."

George said, a glint of pride on his face.

"Father, Naya's feelings for him, you know in your heart, if it weren't for him, Naya wouldn't have died in the Battle of Sith Fortress," Shi Yan argued.

"Seit Fortress, to buy time for this war, without Naya, there will still be soldiers of other empires who can sacrifice for the country, can't the children of my royal family?" Excited. George coughed incessantly.

"Father, I didn't mean that. I just think that if Brother Liuyun is here, Naya may not have an accident," Shi Yan said gloomily.

"That kid Liuyun wiped out the Blood God Cult and defused the catastrophe on the mainland, it can be said that you have a great credit, if you are dissatisfied with Naya because of his death, causing the monarch to be separated, it will bring great losses to the empire," George sighed, "What Naya has done for her. We should now concentrate our energies on what you should do, promptly announce the news of the victory in the war, appease the people, and reward meritorious soldiers. In addition, after the destruction of the Blood God Cult, the situation on the continent is chaotic, and the orcs are also ready to move, what should the Fire Cloud Empire do next. You need to think about it."

Shi Yan hesitated for a moment. Finally, he took out Liuyun's letter and handed it to George.

"Father. In this letter, Brother Liuyun mentioned a few things, I can't call the shots, please take a look."

"Daughter, it was my father's kindness that hurt you," George sighed when he read the letter.

"Father, ...... you see," Shi Yan asked tentatively. The things mentioned in Liuyunxin's letter had a great impact on the future of the empire, and it was difficult for Shi Yan to make up his mind.

"Tell him to take the time to send my granddaughter back to Cloud City so that I can see"

Late at night on the 28th day of the imperial calendar, the prince Shiyan suddenly mobilized the city guard corps and secretly arrested the imperial prime minister Slode on the charge of treason and collaborating with the enemy.

The Imperial Capital Bloodshed Week kicked off with this.

On the 29th, the imperial capital of Yuncheng was under full martial law, and the City Guard Corps continued to operate, arresting more than 30 imperial officials who were close to the prime minister. During this time, several nobles' guards resisted and were all killed on the spot.

On the 30th, the First Army of the First Army of the Empire was ordered to leave the imperial capital and march north to Genoa, the capital of the Iberian province, where a large-scale ban was carried out on the noble armies of the city, and the resistance was devastated. Genoa is only a little more than 100 miles away from the imperial capital, and it is the city with the highest concentration of Prime Minister Slot and his henchmen. On the same day, the Second Army and the Third Army of the First Army completed the deployment near Yuncheng.

The Ministry of Affairs ordered the local garrisons of the provinces to enter a state of combat readiness, closely monitor the private armies of the nobles, and annihilate them immediately if there was any abnormality.

The trial of the prime minister's treason and collaboration with the enemy was concluded, and Prime Minister Slot and his son Hughes confessed to the crimes they had committed. Fifteen officials, led by Prime Minister Slot, were sentenced to death and sent to the gallows in the afternoon of the same day.

Twenty-five officials, led by Undersecretary of the Exchequer Peel, were sent to the execution ground.

A sudden series of incidents, one by one sent to the gallows, turned the entire imperial capital officialdom upside down, and for a while, the aristocratic officials couldn't help but put themselves in danger.

It was realized that the roots of the nobility, which had been entangled under the giant tree of the Empire, had finally come to be pruned...
