What happened after the meeting with the Prime Minister?

Hearing the words of the two female officials, Wang Nu subconsciously touched her arm, and her heart couldn't help but warm slightly.

Yes, after the meeting with the prime minister, he was first injured by the officers who surrounded the official residence, and then secretly climbed out of the outer wall to find Lyon, during which there was no news back, and my father would inevitably feel worried, of course, he had to send someone to ask.

"Let's go."

Nodding to the two female officials, the princess temporarily put aside her chaotic thoughts and prepared to leave for the upper floors of the palace, but ......

"Your Highness, it's not over there."

After calling the queen and daughter, one of the female officials respectfully reported:

"Your Majesty is not in the bedroom, he is waiting for you in the side hall on the fourth floor, and I ask you to come here."

The side hall on the fourth floor?

The princess couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this.

The side hall on the fourth floor of the palace is a small reception room used to receive dignitaries, but my father's health has not been good, at this time, he should have finished drinking the alchemy tonic and rested in the bedroom on the top floor, why did he stay in the small reception room?

"Are there any important guests coming?"

After thinking for a while, the princess, who was following the female officer, asked with some confusion:

"An envoy of the Kingdom of Hesse? Or a diplomat from the Kingdom of Sail? ”

"Neither, Your Highness."

The female officer in charge of leading the way said respectfully:

"At least until we came, there were no outsiders in the side hall."

No guests coming?

After hearing the female official's answer, the princess's eyebrows raised in surprise, and she just wanted to continue to ask again, but she heard the female official who led the way say:

"Your Highness, our duty is only to lead the way for you, as for other things, we, as internal servants, should not talk too much, and please ask Your Majesty in person after meeting Your Majesty!"

“……”

Unexpectedly, just asking about the situation on my father's side, I ate a soft nail inexplicably, and the princess's brows couldn't help but frown quietly, and the originally warm heart suddenly became cold.

Unlike himself, when his father chose his chamberlain, he did not pay attention to talent and character, but paid more attention to prudence and deference, and whether he could accurately and appropriately convey his will.

In other words, these two chamberlains are the purest mouthpieces, and their attitude towards themselves is, in a sense, the same as their father's attitude towards themselves.

And they have always been cautious, and they will suddenly refuse to answer their questions, which may only be due to some instructions, or from their father's attitude and behavior, they can vaguely perceive something.

……

Following behind the two unsmiling female officials, they came to the side hall on the fourth floor of the palace, and the scene in the side hall completely verified the conjecture of the princess.

The old king was not alone in the side hall dedicated to the reception of important guests, but two men and women, who looked to be about forty years old with slightly similar features, were sitting in velvet-topped armchairs, waiting for her with the old king.

When he saw the princess appear outside the door, the older man among them showed a gentle smile and bowed slightly towards her, while the remaining woman with exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes pursed her lips covertly, and the corners of her eyes revealed a trace of disgust that could not be hidden.

"Veronica."

With a somewhat hoarse call, the old king, who was facing the door, lifted the scepter decorated with bright rubies in his hand, pointed to the empty chair opposite the middle-aged man and woman, and said with a face that could not be refused:

"Come and sit down and tell me about today."

"Okay."

Looking at the queen and the chancellor of the exchequer in the side hall, the princess sighed secretly in her heart, and then walked slowly into the reception room, sat down in the seat designated by the old king, and spoke:

"This afternoon, according to the schedule I had set, I went to visit the prime minister's official residence to discuss the expansion of universal suffrage, but at the end of the meeting, more than 300 non-commissioned officers at the rank of colonel and lieutenant blocked me in the prime minister's official residence at the instigation of 'people with good intentions.'"

When talking about "people with hearts", the princess deliberately slowed down her speech, glanced at the middle-aged man and woman opposite with deep meaning, and then looked back at the old king on the throne and said:

"If you want to gather so many non-commissioned officers from the military department at one time, you not only need a very strong background and connections, but also need a short time, at least more than a week if you calculate the distance.

As for the decision to implement the non-commissioned officer replacement order, although it has been known to many people recently, I only told you about it a week ago, so can you please tell me who has learned about this from you? ”？！

Hearing the queen's inquiry, the queen on the other side couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then grabbed the armrest of the chair, and said with some annoyance:

"What ...... you?"

"Sorry, the news may have leaked from me."

After pulling the queen by the sleeve and dragging back the question she was about to blurt out, the suave Chancellor of the Exchequer sighed and said:

"After learning that Her Royal Highness Veronica was preparing to implement the replacement order, I immediately sent an internal letter asking the Ministry of Finance to make corresponding preparations and clarify the salary arrears of non-commissioned officers in advance, so as to cooperate with His Highness's measures.

But I didn't expect that I repeatedly emphasized that the internal letter must not be sent out and must be left in the ministry for processing, but recently, due to the cooperation with His Royal Highness's tax reduction policy, the Ministry of Finance is too busy, and some people still violated the law and brought the letter home.

Although there is no evidence to confirm it, my personal guess is that it is very likely that those letters were seen by the family members of the officials and privately notified to the nobles who had made good friends, causing the matter to be stabbed. ”

At this point, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stood up from his chair, bowed slightly to the princess opposite, and apologized with a guilty face:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Veronica, it's probably my careless management that caused the news to leak ahead of schedule, which made you surrounded by non-commissioned officers and even injured by stone-throwings, and I am willing to take full responsibility for this matter."

“……”

"Probably" it was leaked by you, "although" there is no evidence to prove it, and "most likely" it is your carelessness...... Hehe, your apology is so accurate.

In the face of the Chancellor's "sincere" apology, Queen Veronica did not get up to accept it, but turned her head to stare at the old king on the throne, with a banter that could not be concealed in her bright eyes, and a trace of expectation that was hidden deeply.

"Veronica."

After calling the name of the princess, the old king, who was haggard, full of old age, and still sitting in a wheelchair under him, except for the old king, whose back was straight, paused vigorously with the scepter in his hand, and said with a tired face:

"It's just an unintentional mistake, don't worry too much, not to mention that you just got smashed and injured your arm, and you'll be fine after a few days of rest, so forget it."

Unintentional mistakes? Just got smashed and injured your arm, and you'll be fine after a few days of rest?

After hearing the old king's words, the princess couldn't help but look down at her arm, although the injury on her arm had been healed by Leon, but the dark brown blood stains on it had soaked from the tip of her elbow to her wrist, and it didn't look like a small injury.

Moreover, my father didn't even notice that he had obviously injured his arm, but the clothes on his arm were still flat, and there was no trace of bandaging at all because of the bandage.

Well...... It makes sense to think about it, after all, he hasn't even glanced at his injured arm since he came in, and of course he can't notice this little abnormality.

"Okay, forget it."

After smiling self-deprecatingly, the princess closed her eyes slightly, and then no longer looked at the old king, but looked at the middle-aged man and woman opposite, and asked calmly:

"And then? You two didn't come here at night just to care about my injuries, did you? ”
