Chapter 583 [Pity]
At midnight. When Du Wei left the palace, he looked uninterested.
The palace banquet continued. But Du Wei was already in no mood at all, and he didn't even bother to do it for hypocrisy.
He is the Duke of Tulip. Everyone knew that he was sick and left early, and no one would say that he was rude.
It was when Du Wei left. Mrs. Liszt also left with her sister. And Prince Chen and the little emperor both got up to send each other, which also gave Du Wei and his party enough face.
As soon as the door of the banquet hall behind him was closed, the polite smile that was still hanging on the corner of Du Wei's mouth just now immediately dissipated. Instead. It was a look of deep worry.
Looking up at the sky, wide in the palace square. The cold wind howled. Roll on the body. It's a bit cool. Although Du Wei didn't feel anything, Vivian and Qiao Qiao next to him were a little shrunken, so he smiled lightly, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes: "Let's go, go home." โ
Then, Du Wei glanced at Mrs. Liszt not far behind him, and smiled lightly. Nodding his head, he said hello, and Mrs. Liszt had a hint of worry in her eyes. But he also barely smiled.
Just after Du Wei left, in the banquet hall, Prince Chen sat on it. It is as if listening to music with a calm face, as if you are enjoying it with your heart. And the little emperor Charlie. It was obvious that he was a little impatient. It seems that he has lost interest in this lengthy banquet.
Gocha had a glass of wine in his hand. After clinking glasses with his colleagues who came to celebrate him, he turned around and glanced at the two emperors on it, one big and one small. A hint of strangeness flashed in the eyes of this relative from the south.
Slowly, Gao Cha walked through the crowd and came to a corner, and whispered to a confidant of his own family. His eyes looked around, but he whispered: "Duke Tulip went to the back of the palace just now." It could be something that happened. Find a way to find out!"
The pro-follower seemed to be a little puzzled, and Gao Cha said angrily in a low voice: "Fool, you didn't notice. When Du Wei came out. Did he get a new leather robe?, did the regent ask him to go to the back? It's for him to change his clothes!"
As he spoke, he sent away the eyes of the dear and Gao Cha. Inscrutable.
The carriage gradually drove away from the square of the palace. The night was silent, and there was no longer a pedestrian on the cold street. Only occasionally at the intersection. The sound of a patrolling soldier in the distance was heard clapping in their boots.
Dirty roads, wheels creaking. Du Wei leaned back in the seat of the carriage. He lay limp. Support your chin with one hand. His eyes were fixed on his brother Gabri, who was also in the carriage.
On the way back, Du Wei deliberately let Gabrie ride with him in a carriage, and put the two sisters Vivian and Jojo in another car. Just to have a good conversation with Gabry.
"Say it. You didn't speak all the way, are you afraid that I will scold you?" Du Wei finally spoke.
Gabri seems to be wandering. Wen Yan was stunned for a moment: "Hmm, what? brother, what are you going to scold me?"
Du Wei frowned. Looking at my brother. found that the younger brother was puzzled on his face, and it didn't look like he was pretending. Du Wei endured the xรฌng zi and said slowly: "Before I leave halfway." I warned you. Don't get in trouble. But what about you!"
"I didn't do anything. Gabry was a little dazed.
Du Wei took a deep breath. Staring at his brother's eyes: "Isn't it a trouble for you to ask the muse to dance?"
Seeing that Gabry was still at a loss. Du Wei said in a deep voice: "His Majesty Charlie's invitation to dance the Muse was refused, but you ...... Hmph, you are out of luck, snatching a woman and grabbing it in front of the emperor. Sweeping his face in front of him!"
Gabriel frowned. Qi Sheng said: "Yi, brother, are you angry about this kind of thing? What is this? This kind of ball, the emperor doesn't know how to dance with the muse, I can ask for it, this is not a great thing, there are more such things, what is the big deal?"
Du Wei sighed and looked at his younger brother: "I mean." Little Charlie seems to have an interest in the muse. You are jealous of the emperor. I don't care. But it would be a bit unwise to do it so blatantly. โ
Gabre smiled, he looked at his brother, and suddenly said, "Brother, you probably haven't participated in this kind of ball much since you were a child, right? Even if he is the emperor, please not let a lady dance. That's just his own disdain for girls, and it has nothing to do with what emperor is not an emperor. This kind of *** battle thing, no one will take it seriously. โ
Du Wei thought for a moment. Perhaps I don't know much about the banquet communication between these Roland nobles. But. Du Wei understood. I should know Charlie as a person!
This child. It doesn't have to be that big.
"He's the emperor. Du Wei still reminded his brother.
Gabry smiled, "It's just a twelve-and-a-half-year-old child, who would take such a small thing seriously." โ
Speaking of which. Gabre continued to laugh: "Speaking of which. Muse, that guy is really hard to get. The first time I went to ask her. It was also denied, but fortunately. I'm not an emperor. I'm just a kid who didn't inherit a knighthood, and I can tear off my face and fight her to the death. She said she wouldn't jump. I'll just lecture her. Outcome. She couldn't be haunted by me. I still barely pulled it down. โ
Du Wei shook his head. He knew that this was a different concept, and he was afraid that he would not be able to convince his younger brother, so he thought about it. Du Weizheng said: "Gabry, let me ask you a question, and you have to answer me honestly...... Do you really like the Muse? I mean, if you marry her. Would you like it or not?"
When Gabri heard this, he became serious. I thought about it for a moment. Nodded slowly: "Yes!"
Hearing this, Du Weidi's mind calmed down.
Well, since that's the case...... Du Wei originally thought that if his younger brother was just playing casually. If you are joking, then there is really no need to offend a future emperor for this kind of thing.
But if the younger brother really likes it, then he can't ignore it as an elder brother!
In any case, Gabri is his own brother, and he is the elder brother, and he can't do this kind of thing to let his brother give up his beloved woman to him!
"Tomorrow I will ask Madame Liszt to come over and negotiate, and if she has no opinion, I will make up my mind and make a marriage contract to the Liszt family. Du Wei seemed a little tired, and he leaned back in his seat. Sighed: "It's just this thing." I'm going to think about how I'm going to say hello to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, you kid. The title has not yet been inherited. has already decided on two wives...... Alas......"
Gabby seemed to have some joy on his face, but then he saw that Du Wei's god was tired. I couldn't help but be a little worried: "Brother...... You. Something seems bothering?"
Du Wei smiled bitterly. Remembering the assassination place at the back of the palace just now, and thinking about it for a while, he didn't need to tell Gabriel about this matter, so as not to cause him unnecessary trouble by saying it, so he shook his head. "Hmm. Something extraneous. Do not say. โ
After returning to the Duke's Palace, Vivien and Jojo both saw that Du Wei seemed to have a deep heart. After returning to the room, Dewey let Ghabrie go and dispersed the servants.
It's late at night. In a few hours, it will be dawn. Du Wei didn't feel sleepy, he put on a pajamas, but came to the bedroom alone, and took out a sword wrapped in layers of leather cases from the cabinet.
The blade of the hilt on this sword has several damages, it is an old sword, and the faint green sรจ rust on it has been oiled and maintained. But after all, it left a trace.
This is exactly what his father left for the sword, Du Wei held the sword in his arms, stroked it lightly with his fingers, and suddenly murmured in a low voice: "Father...... Your little son. It's not a fuel-efficient floor lamp, hehe. robbing women with the emperor, I'm afraid you couldn't do this kind of thing back then. โ
He's in a trance. The floor door of the study at the back was pushed open. Qiao Qiao walked in wearing a black sรจ sleeping group, she had silver hair, standing barefoot on the ground, a pair of barefoot like snow, holding a lamp inlaid with magic gems in her hand, and slowly came in. Smiled and said, "Don't you sleep?"
Du Wei shook his head and touched his eyebrows: "I can't sleep." โ
"The candlelight is too weak. It hurts my eyes after watching it for a long time. Jojo approached and placed the magic gem lamp on Dewey's desk. Then he looked at Du Wei. Smile softly. Leaned over and sat in Du Wei's arms. Stretched out his slender fingers, gently stroked Du Wei's eyebrows, and said softly: "You are in a bad mood, I can see it...... Don't frown all the time. The frown is too much, and there are wrinkles. โ
Du Wei smiled. was about to say a few words, but Qiaoqiao's face sank and he said in a low voice, "I...... I've seen you go out in a wheelchair today. โ
This sentence was very light, but Du Wei listened. But he immediately raised his head and looked into Qiao Qiaodi's eyes.
Qiao Qiao's face was serious, and he shook his head and said, "You are a person, you don't hide anything, do I ...... And Vivien. We're all the kind of women who don't work. Can't I help you with your worries?"
Du Wei didn't speak.
"Both shafts under your wheelchair are broken, I can see it. It seems to have been directly crushed to the ground by some great force, and the shรจ needle hidden in the armrest of your wheelchair has also been used, don't forget. The whole body paralyzing powder smeared on the tip of the needle was brought to you by the teacher. โ
Jojo said. He lowered his head, looked at Du Weidi's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, did you do something with someone in the palace?"
Du Wei knew that he couldn't hide it, he smiled bitterly, grabbed Qiaoqiao's soft waist with one hand, and said in a low voice: "It seems that I have to hide it from the people around me." It's not easy. Then he finally admitted: "Not bad." I left halfway through to the back of the palace. Someone tried to assassinate me. โ
"Assassinating you?" Jojo didn't look worried at all, just because. Others don't know Du Wei's current situation, but Jojo and Vivien know very well.
Although Du Wei looked as if he was "paralyzed". But he had only lost his magical powers, and his physical body was now so strong that he was almost immortal. Even if you stand here, you don't let the enemy cut with a knife. It may not be able to hurt a piece of his fur.
"Who's dry?" Jojo asked the real concern: "Is it it, Lord Regent?"
Du Wei shook his head: "He has a motive." I'd rather believe it's not him, though. โ
Then Du Wei sighed deeply and said with a wry smile: "I still have a lot of things to figure out about this matter for a while." โ
It's a pity that Qiaoqiao is not good at this kind of scheming thing, this thing. But he can't help Du Wei share his worries.
Just looking at Du Wei sighing, Qiao Qiao's heart softened, and he gently leaned on Du Wei's shoulder: "If you can't figure it out, you don't want to!" Who dares to mess with you again. If I let me know who it is, no matter what kind of king Lao Tzu he is, I will directly raise my sword and kill him!"
Du Wei smiled, but remembered something else: "Hmm...... Wheelchair thing, Vivien knows?"
Qiao Qiao seemed a little embarrassed: "Don't say it! Hmph, she is more attentive than me, or she found out first." As I told me, Vivien begged me to accompany you, but now she has a new robe for you in the room. Hum. When you come out from behind, you have a new robe, as long as you are not blind. I can see that there is something abnormal. โ
As she spoke, Vivien had already come in from the outside with a new land robe. This pair of sisters. They all wore nightdresses that looked very similar. It's just that Yan Sรจ is slightly different. Vivien is also generally barefoot. Holding a new robe that had just been sewn out, he came in and saw Jojo sitting in Du Weidi's arms. The little silly girl seems to be a little shy. It's Jojo. He hugged Du Wei's neck and glared at his sister. Shouted: "Blushing what." Haven't you ever sat down?"
Du Wei shook his head: "Don't bully your sister." โ
said. Vivien approached, and Dewey pulled over. Letting her sit on her other leg, Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes, but obediently moved to the side and moved a little out of the way.
The two beauties sat on their laps and leaned on their arms. Du Wei seemed to be in a better mood, looked at the new robe in Vivian's hand, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Am I so poor that I can't even afford to buy clothes?
Vivien blushed and hurriedly said, "No." No...... Yes, it's me. I see you ......"
Qiao Qiao interjected angrily: "I'll tell you! It's all dawn...... Ahh
One last exclamation. But it was Du Wei who couldn't see her bullying Vivian. Reach underneath. A slap on Jojo's buttocks.
Qiao Qiaodi's cheeks were crimson, and there was a bit of charm in his eyes. glanced at Du Wei faintly, and his voice was inevitably a little soft. Said softly: "The two of us can see that something is probably wrong with you in the palace. Vivien, the little silly girl, is worried about you, so she got you this new robe, which is inlaid with a few magic gems, and Vivien has blessed two psychic spells on it. Later you wear it. Even if it's not with us. If something happens, as long as it's not too far away. We can sense it right away, too. โ
Although this thing is not very useful to Du Weidi, but after all, it is the thought of the two of them, Du Wei smiled, but took the robe. It was placed on the table. Hugged the two sisters. I kissed it. He sighed again: "It's a pity, ......"
"What a pity?"
Du Wei had a straight face, serious: "It's a pity...... Such a nice atmosphere. Still...... Can't do it. โ
&๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ8226:
In the middle of the night, the three of them were in the study. Huddle into a chair and hug each other. He whispered for a while. The atmosphere is superb. I don't know what Du Wei whispered. Picked Qiaoqiao's cheeks crimson. Vivien was so ashamed that she couldn't even lift her head. Both of them are as charming as silk. It's as supple as a cat, and it's obviously all emotional.
But at this time, far away. But there was a terrible sound.
"My lord......" The little butler Sandy said in a helpless voice, trembling in the distance outside: "I don't dare to disturb the rest of my lord and my wife, it's just that there is something urgent." โ
Sandy looked visibly afraid. Probably afraid of Jojo. The little clever ghost didn't even dare to approach, but stood far away and said loudly, "A guest asks to see you." โ
"Now?" Jojo was furious. The atmosphere was interrupted, and a belly fire was about to be sprinkled on Sandy: "What a guest." Visited in the middle of the night!"
"Yes, yes, I know it's not in order. But I can't rush this guest...... Lord Duke, yes, it was Madame Liszt who came. โ
Mrs. Liszt?
Du Wei was stunned.
Before parting from the gate of the palace. It's only been a short time, and she's coming to see her again?
