Chapter 47: Just Tonight
When the emperor was shot, he fainted, but fortunately, the bullet did not hit the ribs, but grazed the middle of the two ribs, penetrated the flesh on his side, and shot out. The bullet seemed to have been soaked in some unknown poison, and although it was just an ordinary brass old musket bullet, it was enough to keep Sether bleeding.
In the absence of anesthetic, the military doctor removed the bullet for him and sutured the fishing line, but the emperor's wound continued to seep with blood beads. Seser didn't want to spread it out to disturb the morale of the army and let the enemy take advantage of it, so he kept it a secret from the outside world, just saying that he was weak but there was no major problem for the time being, as long as he recuperated.
At the same time, General Liszt's spies had returned, and at dinner he told everyone the news.
"There were two people who ambushed His Majesty, one was taken down by our people when he fought back with all his might, and we could only cut his throat in the misfire, and the other did not open his mouth, so we could only lock him in the animal pen and torture him. ”
"What punishment?" asked Yin Xinmei.
"Beauty nails. Liszt smiled with satisfaction, and the table immediately fell silent, and he knew what kind of criminal law it was, which had been passed down from the Free State, but the people of Weishengkai were more meticulous, and at the same time cut the nails of the prisoner's hands and feet, although it did not lead to death, but the pain was very bearable.
"If they don't return in time, the next wave of ambushes will be waiting for us on the road, and Your Majesty's life is really in danger. General Liszt," said Luther, with an ugly expression, "please take me to the pens, that I may interrogate him, and I can be sure that I can get something out of his mouth." With your Weishengkai method, he will only bite his tongue and kill himself, and you will not be able to dig up useful information. ”
Liszt nodded gloomily.
This is a heart-wrenching dinner, Yin Xinmei feels that she can't swallow, on the one hand, there is no news of Remassa, she is worried every day whether he will die on the road, the terrible scene of him in her arms in Spark Island before, she will never forget, she doesn't want him to die, even if he was once attracted to other women, she would have forgiven him a long time ago, who hasn't been confused for a while?
Hidden eyebrows can strongly feel Remassa's love for herself, her feelings for him are more like gratitude and pity, she has grown so big, she has never been cherished like this, she has a sense of flattered uncertainty, and this sixteen-year-old boy has inspired her strong family affection, she is not willing to live and die with him.
On the other hand, Sether also bothered her, she always felt that he was injured because of herself, Sether had been in contact with Jarral and Wilsonkai since he was a child, and he had come and gone most of Velogosa with ease, but since he knew himself, Sether had become the number one target in the eyes of assassins and killers.
Hidden Eyebrows had always felt that Sether could live happily in Poppy Castle, until the last day when he attended the Carnival Gala in the Golden City and met with the Grand Prince of Belen, and he didn't need to go to the Soul Forge in the Banshee Glade to destroy the Devil's Blood Diamond by himself.
This rough-drawn Tie Hanhan had completely forgotten that in terms of Sether's identity and status, it was only natural that he would have become a thorn in the side of countless careerists and conspirators, and if it weren't for Sether's entrustment, she would not have had to take on the important task of destroying the Blood Diamond.
According to Liszt's guards' arrangement, Yinxinmei slept in the innermost room on the second floor of the inn, and the rooms next to her were Bai Mei and Princess Luther in turn, General Liszt's bedroom was far away from her, at the other end of the aisle, and his Black Iron Army patrolled back and forth between the second floor and the first floor, changing shifts.
Sether alone occupied the third floor, except for the emperor's bedroom, the entire corridor was brightly lit, and the golden guards would stay awake all night to prevent the ambush from happening again.
After dinner, Princess Luther and General Liszt went to the animal pen together, and the White Charm accompanied her, she went up to the third floor to see Sether's condition, but was turned away by the Golden Guard, and she could only turn back in a huff.
"Master, you are worried about the Emperor. Bai Mei leaned into her ear and whispered, "You can give him what you have." "97 Chinese
"He has what I have, and he already has what I don't," Hidden frowned, everyone she cared about was silent or in danger at the moment, "and I can't give Sether more, he already has a wife who loves him very much, and I also have a fiancé who is willing to die for me, so I can't give him anything." She repeatedly stressed that it was more like convincing herself.
"But you are very unfair in this way," Bai Mei mocked her master playfully, "haven't you thought that even if you are a friend, you should give corresponding care and tenderness, not that your relationship will go further, on the contrary, if you have a clear heart, why hide it like this?"
Yin Xin's eyebrows were shocked, and Bai Mei knew that her words had stabbed the former's heart.
"So," said Yin Xinmei, who opened his mouth with difficulty, feeling as if there was sand in his mouth, "what am I supposed to do...... to be able to ......"
She stopped talking, her ears as red as beef rolls.
Bai Mei chuckled and reached out to cover Yin Xinmei's chest, who shuddered, "A kiss, a hug," she bit Yin Xinmei's ear, "Even friends can express warmth and concern; anyone can see that the relationship between you and the emperor is not simple, and you can't escape all this." ”
"Can't escape?"
"Whatever you call it, retainer, ally, friend, rival," Bai Mei reached out and circled her sideburns, leaning on her shoulder, "or a lover, you should show him your concern, unless ......"
"Unless you yourself are afraid, cowardly, and self-deceiving. Otherwise, how could you be hesitant to even do such a simple thing?"
Yin Xinmei couldn't say a word, and Bai Mei's words hit the target.
"Master, I see through your skin the imprint left by the Emperor on you. Your desire for him is not low at all, there are many things that have happened between you and the emperor, you are closer than outsiders think, but why are you holding back more and more? Don't be a pus-filled queen, you can give him everything. ”
Bai Mei's words angered Yin Xinmei, "You actually said that I was a pustule?"
Her queen guard slyly scowled at her, then turned and scurried downstairs, leaving only a string of light footsteps for her master.
"Don't show up in my bedroom tonight, or I'll remove you from your duties as guards!" he shouted downstairs with a furious brow.
"It's too late, you'll never be able to get rid of me, Your Majesty. A white bell-like voice came, and the mockery contained in the words made her feel as embarrassed as if she had been stripped naked and marching through the streets.
Hidden frowned and returned to her bedroom, she hated the dilemma, she hated the powerlessness of being pierced, and most importantly, Sether's injury would affect their plan to rush to the Banshee Glade to destroy the Blood Diamond as scheduled.
"This is my own business, and I must bear it myself, the whereabouts of the baby are unknown, the life and death of Remassa are uncertain, and Seser is dying. "There must be no more casualties, I must go alone to the Banshee Glade—just tonight, after midnight!"
