Chapter 324: The Beginning of the Trouble
Now that I think about it, my mother's expression when she handed this necklace to me seemed to be unusually serious.
It's just that I was young and ignorant at that time, and when my mother died, I didn't see her for the last time, so I didn't know the function of this necklace at all.
Before, I only thought that it could calm my mind and calm my mind, but if it wasn't for the danger I encountered in the dragon vein, I wouldn't have known that there was a huge amount of magic sealed in it.
“... In February of this year, I will officially inherit my mother's will and run the country..."
The words of the eldest princess pulled Princess Hui'er back from her thoughts, and she looked at her sister sitting on the high seat, looking at her infinite scenery, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
That's it, it seems to be pretty good.
"Wait a minute!"
At this critical moment, a sudden change occurred, and an old voice interrupted the speech of the great princess.
Immediately, everyone looked at the owner of the old voice.
"The old master of the Tiger family?"
"How could it be Lord Tiger, hasn't he been involved in the New Year's ceremony for many years..."
Intense discussions began to erupt all around.
And Lord Chen had a sharp look in his eyes, looking at the rickety figure that slowly appeared.
"It's time to start. ”
The heads of the two families also glanced at each other, and they both saw puzzled expressions in each other's eyes.
At this time, he is not at home to retire at ease, what are he doing here.
Remembering that the empress had invited the tiger boss alone before her death, the head of the enemy family suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Teacher. ”
The old master of the Hu family, like Lord Chen, had also taught the two princesses, so at this time, the eldest princess still had to maintain enough respect.
"Do you have any thoughts?"
Princess Hui'er also looked at the tiger who came out of the field, for this old man, in fact, she didn't have a deep impression, she only remembered that he was a veteran of the country, and after his father's death, he also taught himself, but there were not many intersections.
"Ahem, I have some questions about the Empress Inheritance of the Emperor's will. ”
Lord Tiger trembled on crutches, raised his head, and looked at the eldest princess in the high position.
"Teacher, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
The Great Empress looked at him without fear.
"Before the death of the first emperor, he specified who was most suitable to inherit the throne, may I ask, is there such a thing?"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Although the faces of the two heads of Qiu Long's family have not changed much, it is obvious that a trace of gloom has quietly emerged.
Although this matter is confidential, it is nothing here at the top, and many nobles have even acquiesced to the fact that this matter does not exist, and will not show it in the open.
But the civilian merchants on the periphery obviously didn't know about it, and suddenly the sound of discussion rang out.
"No, the emperor actually left a will, why have you never heard of it?"
"Stupid! Think about it with your brain, if the will is Her Royal Highness, why haven't we heard of it, and Lord Tiger won't show up to explain, obviously the will is not Her Royal Highness!"
“... No, could it be that the will is to make Her Royal Highness the Second Empress the Empress?"
"Really, can she do it?"
Regardless of the discussion outside, there was no sound inside the square at the moment.
Lord Chen stared at the Great Empress tightly, and now that he wanted to see how Her Royal Highness the Grand Empress responded.
And Hui'er's face was already slightly pale at this time, she didn't expect the Lord of the Hu family to mention this stubble, which she only knew about not long ago, but didn't want to say it.
Qian looked at Princess Hui'er's trembling body, sighed slightly, stepped forward, and held her clenched hand.
Feeling the sudden warmth in her hand, Princess Hui'er looked up at the black-haired girl, and felt the encouragement in her eyes, and the panic in her heart eased a lot.
It was at this moment that the eldest princess finally spoke.
"Yes, the Emperor did leave a will. ”
There are no fluctuations in the discourse.
"Then may I ask, in the will, is the most suitable person to inherit the throne the second princess, Her Royal Highness Xi Ruhui?"
"Yes. ”
When she said this, the eldest princess glanced at Princess Hui'er, and saw that although her face was a little pale, she did not look excited, and her heart was slightly settled.
"Excuse me. ”
The old voice of the head of the Tiger family continued slowly but without hesitation: "Why are you sitting in that position, Your Highness. ”
yes, why.
Many people also subconsciously asked such a sentence in their hearts.
But this question was answered by themselves in an instant.
Because Her Royal Highness the Grand Empress is capable, but the Second Empress can only have fun.
Yes, after all, in the past few years, even if the first emperor died, under the rule of the great princess, nothing happened in the Grecoian Empire.
"Why..."
The eldest princess took a step forward without hurry, and slowly walked down the stairs.
"Because all my efforts, all the results, have proved that I am better suited to sit in this position than my dear sister, don't I?"
Strictly speaking, basically everyone has no opinion on this sentence.
Including those civilians outside the square, they also agreed with this sentence.
Indeed, if you look at the results on the surface, the old man also agrees with His Highness's words. ”
Lord Tiger glanced at Princess Hui'er, who was biting her lip, and continued unhurriedly: "Then may I ask, if there are no two families of Qiu Long, what step can Your Highness do?"
This is a bit inexplicable.
You must know that during the period of the first emperor, the Qiu Long family had already assisted the first emperor in handling some political affairs, and during the period of the eldest queen, the two families still continued to exercise power, and most people did not feel that there was any problem.
"Lord Tiger, what you said is wrong. ”
At this time, Lord Long couldn't help but stand up and said to the old man in the audience.
"My Long family has not said that they have done their best over the years, at least it is not satisfactory, do you want to say that our two families have monopoly power and dictatorship?"
Although the head of the Qiu family did not speak, he couldn't stop nodding his head, obviously agreeing with Lord Long's words.
"Exhaustion, do you mean a user of dark magic who uses human life?"
It's just Lord Tiger's fluttering words, which made Lord Long, who was still upright just now, suddenly look stunned, pointed at Lord Tiger, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of some nobles changed a little.
Lord Chen nodded secretly, Lord Tiger really used this as the beginning of the attack.
No matter what time it is, dark magic is a taboo in the mainland, and after all, Lord Tiger is highly respected, and what he says still has a lot of influence.
The eldest princess's face also changed slightly, and she didn't know about this matter.
"If there is no evidence, how can Lord Tiger talk nonsense?"
Seeing that there were some slight changes in the scene, Lord Qiu coughed softly twice and stood up.
Lord Qiu's words made some small voices disappear, and for one of the most powerful people in the empire right now, his words still carried a lot of weight.
"Evidence?"
The old man smiled lightly: "Compared with this kind of thing, I want to know more about what crime the enemy should be guilty of colluding with foreign enemies and poisoning the two previous emperors, intending to erode the royal power and make the Greco-Persian Empire go to the abyss?"
Exploded
The whole audience blew up.
This sentence was a real depth charge, which not only detonated the civilians outside the field, but also made the nobles inside the field look surprised.
Lord Chen almost didn't fall off the chair, and that day Lord Tiger came to look for him, but he didn't say that the enemy was still suspected of murdering the emperor.
And the eldest princess also widened her eyes at this time, looked at the head of the Qiu family with a gloomy face, and said in disbelief: "Lord Qiu, what the teacher said... Is it true?"
What she cares more about than colluding with foreign enemies is the sentence of murdering the emperor.
And Princess Hui'er had already stood up from her seat, covering her mouth, her face full of disbelief.
Mother's death actually has another hidden meaning!
Akane was also alert to the princess's movements, and now that the field was starting to be a little chaotic, her right hand was ready to draw the greatsword at any moment.
"I'm still saying that..."
Lord Qiu looked around, and said with some hatred: "There is no evidence, Lord Tiger, please don't talk nonsense." ”
As he spoke, he also glared at the eldest princess.
Seeing Lord Qiu's gaze, the eldest princess felt a slight chill in her heart, and immediately calmed down.
I was disturbed by a few words from the teacher.
It's just that although she stopped talking, Princess Hui'er didn't stop.
"Lord Qiu, what Lord Tiger said, are those words true?"
Lord Qiu's eyes didn't have much deterrent effect on Princess Hui'er, and she cared more about things related to her mother's death than these.
"Your Highness Hui'er. Lord Qiu bowed, "Before the death of the former emperor, I also listened to part of his will, as an old-school family of the Grecoian Empire, I will not do anything harmful to Her Majesty." ”
And he seemed to think of something again, and smiled slightly: "Isn't the old man and child always by your side, and even lost his life because of bandits a few days ago, why do you suspect that such a loyal family would have the heart to rebel against the emperor?"
Xiao Qian stood behind Hui'er, and when she heard the words of the head of the enemy family, she couldn't help but pout.
These politicians really opened their mouths and did not blush.
The fake can be said to him to be true, and the real is false, and it can be said so touching after throwing a chess piece, I'm afraid that Princess Hui'er will eat this set.
Sure enough, at the mention of Qiu Liang, Princess Hui'er's face immediately became hesitant, no matter what, Qiu Liang was a member of the enemy family after all, although she also suspected that Qiu Liang was a pawn discarded by the enemy family, but she couldn't really ignore the enemy family he represented.
"But..."
But Princess Hui'er only hesitated for a moment, and immediately spoke again.
"That's enough, Hui'er. ”
It was only at this moment that the eldest princess suddenly spoke.
"Sit back, there's no need for you to speak now. ”
Hui'er turned around and looked at her sister with an indifferent face, her hands trembled slightly, and she suddenly clenched.
"I don't. ”
A wordful sentence full of willfulness resounded throughout the square, and with the megaphone, it reached everyone's ears.
