Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Seed of Doubt

The Eternal City is huge, and the Glory Avenue from the south gate to the Heroic Square in the center of the city is also extremely long, although the royal guards have cleared the road all the way, and the honor guard has been walking for more than an hour since entering the city to reach the bottom of the Eternal Tower.

Being the emperor is a hard job, and after returning to the Eternal Tower, Di Xue learned that his majesty had lunch and began to deal with political affairs, so he first returned to his cloud breeze layer.

The Eternal Tower has a total of 19 floors, in addition to the 19th floor of the dormitory, the 18th stratum cloud is the residence of the princes and princesses of the past dynasties, the 18th floor is divided into nine small layers, each layer is five meters high, take the meaning of the authority of the emperor of the ninety-five.

The empire advocates equality between men and women, the imperial law stipulates monogamy, even the emperor has a ** system that no more than two concubines are not allowed in addition to the queen, and the imperial family has always had scarce blood, and this generation has four heirs who are considered to be prosperous, so there has never been a scene in history that is not enough to live.

The emperor's ancestral precept stipulates that the prince and princess must live independently after the age of ten, so the two siblings Di Xue and Di Lan have moved out of the bedroom at the top of the tower since they were ten years old, and chose two small floors to live alone on the eighteenth floor.

At this time, in the cloud breeze layer of Di Xue, the royal maids and waiters who had already learned the news of Di Xue's return in advance had already prepared a sumptuous lunch, and when Di Xue returned to the cloud breeze layer and sat down at the head of the long table in the restaurant, there was immediately a long line of royal waiters serving a series of hot food maintained by thermal insulation magic boxes.

Di Xue Meimei enjoyed a delicious lunch, he was originally very picky, outside Xu Bo, the almighty deacon, no matter how good / forced he was, he couldn't get the ingredients of the Tegong royal family, and now he came back and finally ate the delicious dishes made by the chef he hired from the south at a great price, and he was really in a good mood in an instant, and he felt that the whole world was full of love O(∩_∩)O

After enjoying lunch, Di Xue took a comfortable bath, and when he came out after changing his clothes, a waiter informed him that Princess Di Lan was here.

Di Xue rushed to the living room, and in the empty hall, Princess Dilan was sitting on the soft leather sofa in a crimson palace dress, sipping coffee.

After several lives and deaths for more than half a month, at this time, seeing his sister who grew up together and loved him a lot, Di Xue suddenly felt a little warm in her heart, and greeted with a sincere smile: "Sister, how long have you been here?"

Princess Dilan put down the coffee in her hand, stood up and walked in front of Di Xue, looked Di Xue up and down several times, and saw that Di Xue seemed to have lost a few more weight, and immediately frowned slightly and said: "Just come here for a while, look at you, how long have you been out, and you have lost weight, such a big person, and I don't know how to take care of myself." The words fell, and he stretched out his hand and gently straightened Di Xue's hair, which was naturally scattered after washing.

Di Xue exchanged a few words with Princess Dilan, and then sat down opposite Princess Dilan, waved away all the waiters and maids.

After the waiters and maids all retreated, Princess Dilan immediately asked with concern, "How are your injuries?"

Di Xue said: "It's healed, it's not a serious injury, at most it's just excessive blood loss, just a few more days." ”

Princess Dilan immediately heard that something was wrong: "Too much blood?"

The details of the airship case have not yet been told to Princess Dilan, and Di Xue is going to tell her in person after she returns, and immediately recounted all the details of that night and the battle in the night forest, and told Princess Dilan about the assassin's efforts to take his blood, probably because of the conjecture of his own human guardian bloodline.

Princess Dilan pondered for a moment and said, "This matter still needs to be investigated, but since I knew that you are the guardian of the human race, I have been paying attention to some records about the guardian of the human race, but there is very little real information about the guardian of the human race on the mainland, and most of them are some legendary stories and poems circulating, so I don't think I can find any clues in this regard." It is also possible that the Assassins deliberately used this method to confuse the public. ”

Di Xue shook her head, if the other party's goal was simply to kill himself, then why use so many means to blow up the airship and let him ambush him without protecting him? And Di Xue felt that the Silver Mask Grandmaster didn't look like he was going to kill himself at first. A powerful martial arts master, under the premise that he is a weak magician and does not have any guardian magic defense or sneak attack, he can't be killed with a sword?

Di Xue was proficient in alchemy, and knew that if the other party wanted to use his own blood for research or practice, then he would definitely be the primary goal of capturing him alive, followed by taking his blood, and finally killing him, because the effect of taking blood alive was far greater than that taken on the corpse after death.

Human blood contains a person's roots, which is the main body essence in addition to bone marrow, and the bodies of magicians and martial arts practitioners have elemental aura, and for some blood sacrifice types of magic that require blood, even if it is taken immediately after death, it is far inferior to the blood taken alive.

Di Xue said what she thought, Princess Di Lan's brows frowned deeper, and after a while, she suddenly said worriedly: "Could it be that I want to do some evil magic of the blood spell to you?"

But as soon as the words came out, Princess Dilan denied it herself, how could there be blood spell-like magic applied to the royal family in the Tower of Eternity?

The Manhua Empire has existed in the world for more than 1,400 years, after countless ups and downs, wars and turmoil have never been extinguished, in addition to its own strong enough foundation, there is also a very important reason, that is, the existence of the Tower of Eternity.

In the era of imperial division and constant wars in history, it was not that no one thought of assassinating the royal family to seize the world, the emperor's bloodline was already scarce, and sometimes only one or two heirs were inherited in a generation.

Because, as long as there is the Eternal Tower Eternal City and even the entire Heroic Soul Plains, no one can harm the Rose Royal Family!

The Tower of Eternity is a magic array, the greatest magic array in the world, every generation of the imperial family living in the Tower of Eternity has the imprint of the Tower of Eternity, as long as it does not go out of the Plains of the Heroic Soul, the guardian of the Tower of Eternity will always be exerted on the person with the imprint of eternity, unless it dies naturally, then any form of attack, poisoning, and curse are useless to the imperial family!

As long as a member of the royal family with the Guardian Mark of the Tower of Eternity has a sign of imminent death, then the Guardian Brand will be activated in time to drive away a threat to life.

Therefore, even if the imperial family of the Emperor clan wants to commit suicide, they have to run outside the Heroic Soul Plain......

Wait a minute...... The guardian imprint of the Eternal Tower, the royal bloodline, Di Xue felt as if she had thought of something.

It's just that the flash of inspiration is difficult to grasp thoroughly.

Princess Dilan still didn't feel at ease and advised: "No matter why the main messenger behind the scenes wants to take away your blood, it's better for you not to go out of the city during this time, even if we all have the protection of the Tower of Eternity, we can't be careless, the protection of the Tower of Eternity is not perfect, the farther away from the Eternal City, the weaker the effect of the guardian brand, out of the Eternal City, unless it is a moment of death, the protection of the Tower of Eternity will not be triggered." ”

Di Xue responded: "Okay, until the matter is investigated, I will not go out of the city again, even if I go to the Divine Law Academy, I will use the teleportation array in the tower." ”

Princess Dilan has a lot of trust in Master Tina's strength, and no one in this world dares to do anything under the master's nose, so she doesn't say anything more.

Di Xue said: "By the way, how was the investigation of the matter in the knight's cemetery last time?"

Princess Dilan said, "Empress Xiaowei. ”

Di Xue: "Impossible. ”

Princess Dilan: "I know. ”

The two sisters and brothers glanced at each other, and there was some subtle affection in their eyes, the main messenger behind the incident in the knight's cemetery was really a sinister scheme.

Princess Dilan's eyes were very cold: "This person, I really want to meet him, not to mention whether the knight's cemetery case is related to the airship case, just talking about the knight's cemetery, the hands and feet are really good, the necromancer caught by the personal guards, the weapons left behind by the attackers, the more than a dozen warriors who were killed in the alleys of the eternal city, The three palace attendants of Jingxiu Palace, these clues all point to Empress Xiaowei, the general who confessed to assassinating you, is also somewhat related to the queen's own family, but the more this is the case, the less likely it is to be the queen. ”

Di Xue narrowed her eyes: "Do you want to plant a seed of doubt in my heart?"

Princess Dilan's eyes suddenly became a little solemn when she looked at Di Xue: "Yes, even I, I can't help but wonder if the Xiao family has anything to do with this matter." ”

Di Xue's tone was also a little solemn: "Sister, don't fall into the trap in the hearts of the people behind the scenes." ”

Princess Dilan sighed: "You will be twenty years old this year, according to the rules of the royal family, the prince can only be crowned king or ...... after he is twenty years old Prince Feng, the Xiao family is an emerging magnat, not a big family that has been passed down since ancient times, so it is possible that they don't know about guarding the brand, so they are indeed suspected of doing it. ”

Di Xue was also speechless for a while.

He believed that Yiqiē had nothing to do with Empress Xiaowei, so why did he trust Empress Xiaowei so much? Because His Majesty was not an idiot, and Empress Xiaowei, who he fancied and became the empress, was certainly not an idiot.

It's as simple as that.

Leaning on the column must be wise, in addition to Captain Richard believing in this truth, all the ministers and officials of the empire and even all the people also believe it, Di Xue naturally believes it, and everyone believes in the truth, it must be a reasonable truth.

Such a great and wise Leaning Column Majesty, taking a fancy to Empress Xiaowei who stands side by side, even if she is not as great and wise as Her Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to do anything to win the heir, because in front of Her Majesty, it is absolutely too white/idiot to do that kind of thing, and as I said before, Empress Xiaowei will not be an idiot.

But Empress Xiaowei is not an idiot, it does not mean that there are no idiots in her own family, the Xiao family.
