Chapter 110: The Imperial Capital Fear is born from the heart
The night covers the earth, and fear is born from the heart.
Althea looked at the moon with a wry smile on her lips. Even a woman as smart as she thinks she is so smart that she will be overwhelmed and frightened by the sudden change.
She still remembered that yesterday she was still surrounded by servants, eating cakes on plates elegantly, sitting comfortably in the flower pavilion, admiring the blooming flowers in the garden. It doesn't seem like such a tasteful and appreciative thing, but at least it's calm and peaceful.
It's not like I don't know where I've fled now, and I'm looking for the hazy light of the moon when I can't figure out the place inside, so frightened and I don't know where to go.
She didn't even know exactly what was going on, who was going to hurt her, and who was the one who could protect her. She nearly lost her life when the people she once trusted raised their claws against her. But fortunately, the rare good thoughts still exist, and fortunately, a trace of luck is still there. She didn't know why she thought that the perfect girl with black hair disguised as a man would come to her rescue. That's what she believes, and that's how she waits with a hint of expectation.
Even if she didn't save her after all.
Althea clenched her fists, and Lala's clothes were not too cold, and she felt sad.
Does she still have a chance to be friends with that girl?
Sunshadow and Peng Xiu stood in front of the door of the Streamer Pavilion, and stood opposite the spies who were reporting to them.
Today's situation has suddenly become more complicated. The rescue of the Japanese Shadow undoubtedly confirmed Carmel, and it was enough to catch the cruel crime of the girl and hurt the girl, and according to the common law, it was enough to catch Carmel and adjudicate it. But Lance presented more evidence that the incident was inextricably linked to Morton, and that Morton should also be explained and punished for the crime.
But Morton's status in the empire is special, and he can't just rely on the laws of the empire to deal with it casually, not to mention that the crimes against him are not as proven by Carmel.
To complicate matters further, they haven't found Carmel yet, and it's unclear whether he hid because he knew the matter was exposed, or if Morton hid him. After all, if you catch Carmel, you might be able to ask more evidence about Morton's crimes.
Things seem to have reached a dead end, capturing Carmel in order to deal with Morton, but capturing Carmel may require a head-on confrontation with Morton. But before Capturing Kamel, we need to avoid confronting him head-on. But without confronting him head-on, there seems to be no way to catch Kamel. Such a paradoxical circle.
For example, the Streamer Pavilion that is now facing off. They had only sent a few people in to check on them, and they hadn't made any further moves, and Morton's men had been standing in front of the door ready to fight, and suddenly broke in. Morton seems to have a set of responses to this, and the reaction speed is quite timely, basically it has been arranged as soon as the Japanese shadow is rescued.
And Morton himself is now under the pretext of retreat, and he does not see outsiders in the Hall of Light in the imperial capital. Even if Penxiu and Lance set up people outside Morton's mansion, there is not enough evidence to break into a prince's mansion directly. Needless to say, the Guangming Hall in the imperial capital is not at the same level as the Guangming Hall in the town, not to mention hiding a person, even if it hides an army, it can be hidden, and the internal structure is also very complex, and the attainments are high, which can be described as solid.
Just when faced with the embarrassing situation that Carmel couldn't catch and Morton couldn't move casually, Sunshadow received this letter again.
The scribbled words on the letter were shocking. It seems that he wrote the letter of help in a hurry under the condition of extreme fear, and he did not even write the place and reason.
Peng Xiu once suspected that this was another trap, another way to lure the Sun Shadow into danger. But the scribbled handwriting was a little convincing. What's more, they all sensed that it was sent by Althea. And the situation facing Althea's current identity is already very dangerous.
The conclusions drawn by Penxiu and the Sun Shadow analysis diary may be recorded in Carmel's third diary. Althea was also born in Chambord, her mother is Elena, and her father may actually be Lance!
Carmel should have only known about this half a year ago, but they deduced that Morton should not have known about it, and should not even have known about the relationship between Carmel and him. It wasn't until this revelation that Morton would re-examine his relationship with Carmel, and if he learned the truth, Althea would be in an awkward and dangerous position.
Lance rushed to Morton's Mansion that day, but he didn't find anyone, and then he came to the Streamer Pavilion and didn't see anyone, and now only the Imperial Capital's Guangming Hall has not been searched, so Lance is now stationed in front of the Guangming Hall.
"Is the letter going to Lance?" asked the black envelope in Hyunkage's hand.
"Don't give it to him for the time being, giving it to him now will only make him more impatient. Peng Xiu shook his head and analyzed. "Tiger poison does not eat children, even if Morton now knows that maybe Althea is not his daughter, but after all, he has raised Althea for so many years, not to mention that he once loved Elena, so it should not endanger Althea's life. ”
Peng Xiu was also very anxious in his heart, after all, his uncle who had no children for many years might have such a child, which was a joyful thing for him to be an uncle. It's just that before the truth has time to rejoice, it is in a predicament.
"There's one more thing I haven't said. Sun Ying didn't directly answer Peng Xiu's doubts, but suddenly changed the topic and said. "Althea once told me that she was fed a red pill since she was a child, so she was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, and could even identify everyone by the smell of blood. That's why she's aware of my anomaly. ”
Under Peng Xiu's deeper gaze as he noticed the severity of the matter and frowned, Sunshadow continued to analyze.
"I suspect she's been fed an experimental pill for extermination. Unknowingly, Morton thought that Althea was his daughter, and he knew the dangers of the extermination, perhaps in addition to helping himself, he also wanted to block the possibility of the extermination disease in Althea, so before Althea showed any signs of the extermination, he had continued to give her food. And obviously compared to the half-baked medicine made by Carmel, Morton should be more mature after doing it for so many years, especially if Morton has already had the disease of extermination, there has been no change over the years, if he doesn't, Althea has such an ability, at least in his eyes, it should be mature and successful. ”
Sunshadow paused here and continued to speak in a deep voice.
"If Althea continues to be Morton's daughter, then these medicines are just a cure for her. But if Althea is not his daughter, then Althea's blood will be the best potion to heal him and/or Kamel. ”
"We have to catch Kamel as soon as possible. He is more dangerous than Morton. Althea was worse if he was in his hands. Peng Xiu said in a deep voice.
"Not necessarily for Althea. Sunshadow shook her head, disapproving. "If it weren't for the necessity, I'm sure Kamel wouldn't hurt Altheea. ”
Under Peng Xiu's puzzled eyes, Sunshadow continued to explain.
"All things considered, Kamel probably knew about it half a year ago. The discovery of the diary half a year ago made him realize that he was Morton's son, and he obviously could have the disease of extermination.
He was Morton's helper, and he should know very well what Morton was doing all of them. He should have known very well the effects of those pills on Althea. If he really wanted to rely on Althea to heal himself, he would have had enough time half a year ago.
But apparently he didn't, and he didn't tell Morton. Instead, he went to arrest the girl for research, and after arresting the girl, he used these charges to frame Thor. In addition to wanting revenge on Morton, he may also have anticipated the awkward situation that Althea might face. I think what he wants to do is destroy Morton.
He couldn't bear to hurt Althea, I can believe it. But I can't predict what Morton will do to his beloved daughter, who has been deceived for so many years, and forced to sleep with his beloved in the face of his sudden son. Sunshadow analyzed from Carmel's point of view.
Peng Xiu's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this.
"Now go to Lance and ask him to lead someone to storm the Hall of Light. After Peng Xiu finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and go to the Hall of Light.
"The siege of the Hall of Light, maybe before it was successful, the army of the imperial capital has already come to stop it, Hugh, don't you know best to stop Lance?" said Sun Shadow as he stopped Peng Xiu.
Even if they have few opponents in the imperial capital, they are not at the top after all. Peng Xiugui is the prince of real power, but after all, he is not a king, and there is even a big prince on the side who is waiting for the opportunity to defeat Peng Xiu with one blow. There are too many variables in the imperial capital, and they need to be cautious.
"But I don't want my uncle's only child to be in danger. ”
"Morton's purpose in repairing the Streamer Pavilion is now clear, not for Althea's amusement, but for some shady deed of his own. Sunshadow said as he looked back at the buildings in front of him.
"You're saying he's going to keep people hiding here? But he should know we're going to search this place. "Peng Xiu has already sent several people to search according to the map given by Morton, but if he wants to make a bigger move, he will encounter fierce resistance from the guards at the door of the Streamer Pavilion.
"Morton knows we'll follow his map to search the Streamer Pavilion. He dared to hand you the map, which shows that he is confident in the surface of the Streamer Pavilion where he can search, as for the situation of the basement level, it is not yet known. Even with the ghost leading the team now, our men have only searched part of the tunnel. I think there are some hidden places in the Streamer Pavilion that we haven't found, at least there should be a cell similar to the black box prepared by Carmel, but it hasn't been found yet. Remembering the cell where he was being held, Hikage paused and continued.
"Morton knows very well that we only intend to arrest and save people, and before there is actual evidence, we don't want to make a big move, and more options are only to besiege and not attack, and will search the Streamer Pavilion, but we can't make a big move. Will stare at the Hall of Light, but will not rush inside. He wants to wait for the intervention of a greater force more than we do, and this force may be the Holy Court of Light or the Emperor. He predictively guessed the situation behind, since a scheming person like him chose to hide in the Hall of Light, since he foresaw the situation, how could he bring the evidence or people who might explain the crime with him. Rather than bringing Althea or Carmel into a place as crowded as the Hall of Light to hide, it would be more convenient here. The possibility of the whole Bright Hall helping him is much more than here on the ground. He should be more confident in the control here. There are two more important points. Sunshadow paused and said no more.
Peng Xiu looked at the side face of the sun's regained vitality and wondered. "What are the two more important points?"
Sunshadow smiled slightly, with a little mischievous confidence rarely seen, and stared at the hellish place that had been carefully built to satisfy sinful desires.
"He's too confident in himself and I'm confident in my instincts. ”
