After the mermaid attendants sent Queen Ying out of the underground palace, the entire dormitory seemed much quieter.

After a while, some of the old people here began to talk.

The topic of the discussion is the swordsman Dai Wei who suddenly appeared and was alone with the mermaid spirit envoy.

"The one inside is a loyal minister who was a close confidant of the former king, and if he dares to return to St. Rondel at this time, it must be the attention of His Royal Highness Lord Yingjue. One of the attendants said worriedly, "If this kind of thing reaches the ears of the king, I am afraid that it will ...... Our merfolk won't be better...... Miss Xi Yao will also be in big trouble. ”

"What is the entanglement between the king and the king, and why is the relationship between father and son so clearly distinguished?" asked one of the newcomers.

"You young people have not experienced those things back then, and in my opinion, there is no father-son relationship in the royal family? Don't look at a little personal guard, you know a lot of things. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would His Royal Highness Yingjue help the king hide those things? Even if the king and the queen are separated, it is a family ......."

The older attendant lowered his voice and whispered, "But the one inside is different......

"Cut, a Terran. The other attendant clasped his hands and snorted coldly: "I don't have any spiritual power, what kind of wind and waves can I make." ”

"Shhhhhhhhh ”

"Talking about these things, do you deliberately want Xi Yao's spirit envoy to hear!"

The eldest of them was the personal attendant of the merfolk patriarch, and she rarely appeared in the public eye on weekdays, and only a few of the older ones had seen her in person.

Today, I heard that there was a new guest in the underground palace, and Queen Ying personally brought it, so she took advantage of her leisure time to come over to take a look, and happened to hear the gossip of the people.

The first king, Violet the Great, was the foundation builder of the Water Empire who could gain a foothold in this era. The people revered and adored him, and the territory he laid for his people was the title page seal of the annals.

But time has passed, the new king has been on the throne for more than ten years, and the younger generation of people admire King Ferrer, and the fame of the previous king has become a haze in the long river of history.

"Squire, the slave knows his mistake. One knelt down.

The squire, who had been unruly and disdainful of the swordsman Dai Wei, blew through his nostrils and snorted coldly: "Is the chief squire also worried about such a trivial matter? This is the mermaid underground palace, as long as no one has a heart, they can't wear it out after a couple of words." Even if it spreads, what a few of us say, won't people outside say it?"

The attendant who fell to his knees was still worried: "If even those of us who are close to us are fueling these rumors, isn't that a disguised confirmation of these rumors?"

The mermaid, a gift from Devonhill, the god of the sea, is the noblest and most holy race.

Because the element of this country is water, the west is surrounded by the sea, and the coastline is long and tortuous, and many people live along the coast and go out to sea to fish for business.

The dense network of rivers on the land, the rivers converge to the west, where spiritual power gathers and precipitates, accumulating in the lowest terrain of Tubrik, and nurturing the descendants of the merfolk for generations.

Grinster is a large and densely populated city, but few ordinary people have access to Tubrick Bay. After thousands of years of change, it has become a real water source, a habitat for mermaids.

The merfolk have always been mysterious, and their spiritual power is unfathomable.

Everyone knows that only Tubrick Bay is a pure land in the world, and beyond the bay, the common people of the Water Empire love to talk about Her Royal Highness the Queen. Among them, the most talked about are the affairs of Lord Ying when he was young, and how the king turned this woman into a queen like a trick.

The mermaid tribe's beauty is overwhelming, and everyone wants to see its face. If it weren't for the king of a kingdom or the gods of heaven, they wouldn't be qualified to marry them.

Violet's undersea landform could not support such a huge complex of buildings extending downward, so the entire mermaid dungeon was supported by the spiritual power of the mermaid patriarch, relying on the mermaid secret art they had inherited for generations.

Merfolk Mei Ji of pure blood can only marry imperial nobles or gods, and is not allowed to intermarry with any other race. The mermaid girls are trained in strict etiquette until they reach adulthood, and each new king ascends the throne and chooses the most beautiful mermaid Himeko as queen.

However, in the process of spreading rumors, in the spiritual family in the royal capital, those high-ranking officials and eunuchs have a different attitude towards this much-criticized Queen Highness.

Such a woman of beauty, intelligence, and preference must have her own unique way of controlling that king, and even the entire Violet royal family. It is logical that Xi Yao, as the daughter born to the queen, also grew up in the stars and the moon, and even took over her mother's position and became the new mermaid spirit envoy.

Although everything made sense, it was too smooth.

His Majesty was so relieved of them that he ...... It seems that he is deliberately contributing to the existence of this matter.

To this day, the people still can't see whether the king is in power or the queen is in power. The Violet Empire is the land of the water god or the land of the mermaid.

As a result, people are thinking more and more about the mermaid tribe. There are mixed reviews, the common people are just the common people, and it doesn't matter who is the king of the country, but they talk about the internal struggle among the rulers.

Whether it is in the southwesternmost corner of the territory in the Gulf of Tubric or in a small town near the city of St. Landal, whoever can make his people live and work in peace and self-sufficiency is the best monarch.

They still have some emotional inclinations towards the imperial daughter Xiyao, especially when they think of her mother, Queen Ying.

"Xi Yao Ling, she is very gentle. ”

At this time, the attendant who was crouching in the far corner spoke.

He has always been in charge of the emperor's diet, and he boasts that he knows the master's heart best. This time, I listened silently for a long time, but I never heard anyone say - what is the relationship between that Terran swordsman and his own Xiyao spirit envoy?

Why can he have this honor and get a glimpse of the secret art of mermaids?

Time flies. But the chief waiter refused to say anything about the events of that year.

"If you know, Lord Chief, tell the little ones. ”

"There are a lot of things that you can't just say, you know?" the squire crossed his arms and smiled wryly in the faint candlelight. Sure enough, the empire's secrecy measures are indeed very good, and this young generation has not even heard the slightest rumor.

"Heh, it's a lot more complicated here. He let out a long sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "In short, the last thing you should do as an attendant is to talk about your master's affairs. ”

The attendants sighed in disappointment.

"But you can go and sneak a peek at the man's swordsmanship. The elder changed his words and hooked the curiosity of these juniors.

One of them asked again: "He is a human race, and he has no spiritual power, how powerful can he be?"

At first, the squire who spoke the most unkemptly, and even had no one in his eyes, said.

"People who don't have spiritual power can still eat and drink, get up early and go to bed early, isn't they living a good life? ”

"Hindrance, why is it an obstacle?"

"Then I don't know, maybe there's something unique about him. ”

It was so quiet outside the royal city that even the voices inside the walls were a little weaker.

After a long time, the queen's voice came from a slightly apologetic man: "This is the last time. I can't give you anything, that's ...... Twenty years of relief to you. ”

But in the next second, Dai Wei changed his tone and continued: "There are always some things in the world that cannot go as people want, and even astrologers who can predict the future are difficult to grasp the future direction...... Elder Quinn warned me not to come to St. Randall today, I thought he was guarding against you, but I didn't expect it...... He's right. ”

Queen Ying broke free from Dai Wei's arms and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Dai Wei's heart trembled, and his hand had already slipped from her waist, "Your Highness will look back for yourself." ”

Seeing that his expression was not good, Queen Ying turned around nervously. What she saw was a little boy under the age of ten, and the gorgeous clothes on his body had already proved his identity.

Patrick...... Why are you here?" said Queen Ying.

"Meet the Queen Mother. ”

The surprise on Queen Ying's face was fleeting, she glanced back at Dai Wei, bent down and said, "It's so late, why are you out of the city?"

The son came out with his mother. ”

The name Patrick, David had only heard of it. He was supposed to be the youngest son of King II, born to a concubine, but grew up beside the queen since childhood.

As soon as Dai Wei wanted to kneel and salute, he was stopped by the queen.

"Not necessarily. No one blames you for your poor manners www.biqudu.xyz. ”

She squatted down, put her hands on Patrick's shoulders, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything wrong with finding the queen mother?"

His Royal Highness the Prince did not answer, and glared at Dai Wei, his eyes like torches.

"Minister, meet His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Patrick choked on this "goodbye", looked at the ambiguous look of his mother and the other party, and pushed Queen Ying's hand away in annoyance, shouting: "Prince Ben is going to tell his father!"

Rise!

Moment.

A figure broke through the wind and stopped in front of the prince.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister is guilty. Dai Wei said in a deep voice.

Looking at the man in front of him who was as sharp as a knife, Patrick looked at Queen Ying and said, "Is the Queen Mother planning to let her lover kill Prince Ben?"

"Huh...... It's too late for the queen mother to love you, so how can she be willing to kill you. Queen Ying bowed her head slightly and said softly, "As a guard, dare to block the path of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Dai Wei instantly understood, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's sin is to block His Highness's way." ”

"You ......"

Patrick's fingertips flashed with spiritual power, and in an instant, a skate blade appeared on his fingertips.

"Queen Mother, this prince is going to kill someone today, don't stop me!"

Queen Ying frowned slightly, and only stepped forward and gently put her arm on the prince's wrist.

"Don't stop me!"

"The queen mother is not trying to stop you, it is the mother's fault first. Queen Ying persuaded softly: "The queen mother confessed her mistakes to you, and she will also go back to confess her mistakes to the king, don't kill him, okay?"

There was an incredulous look on the boy's face.

The queen leaned down, and a gentle but dangerous smile appeared on her face: "Your Highness hasn't practiced spiritual arts well during this time......, has he?"
