Chapter seven hundred calm(1/2)
"Thank you sir!"
The little girl's eyes were shining, and she happily hugged a bunch of delicious food, and smiled sweetly.
"cough."
Xiu Ke coughed, turned around and saw Yang Yuying staring at the pile of roses, then looked up at him, with a blank expression on his face, a little fierce.
"The cub is such a cute little thing, and he is a little girl, so of course he must take good care of him."
Xiu Ke pressed the curve of the corner of his mouth, "As a Nata people, caring for young people is something that we should do."
Yang Yuying nodded: "Then please bear the consequences of your care for the cubs."
As she said that, she pushed the whole basket of roses over.
"Ah...Ah!"
Xiu Ke carefully took the index finger and middle finger, clamped the basket handle, and moved it to his feet. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up his clothes, and said seriously: "Come on, although we decided that no matter how the Zerg and the senior leaders of the Yonglan Empire, we still need to master the intelligence. Marshal Lin, the God of War of the Federation, said that intelligence occupies the most important position among the major elements of victory..."
Yang Yuying: These are all words he said, "Information is important today, justice is important tomorrow, discipline is important the day after tomorrow, and words are important every day, hey.
"Xuke, I remember you seem to be a wanted criminal in the federal government. You don't feel awkward when you keep the Federal God of War on your lips all day long?"
"What's wrong with the wanted criminal? One day I hit the marshal's hand. If I can't beat me, I don't mind surrendering."
Xiu Ke was laughing, "It's a pity that the wages of the Federal Fleet are not too high, and we can't support our family's people and ships. Otherwise, eating military rations wouldn't be a bad thing."
Yang Yuying sighed.
This is another guy who is fooled by the glorious image of the marshal.
I still hope that the Marshal's true face will never be exposed. Otherwise, many young men and girls in the Federation will be disillusioned. If they suffer some irreversible trauma in their spirit, wouldn't it be a sin!
"If you don't talk about this, come and see how much information Alice can give us."
Yang Yuying ordered two more meals first and ordered two pots of wine before turning on the communicator and reading various investigation reports while eating.
"The disaster in the palace is serious enough."
Yang Yuying virtually showed the architectural drawings of the palace on the dining table, and Alice marked the unknown elements on it.
If each piece of unknown element represents a bug nest, at least two-thirds of the area of the palace will be covered by bugs.
The entire imperial capital was most affected by the worst disasters, and there was no great harm to the south and the north.
Yang Yuying called out another abnormal event that happened in the imperial capital in the past two months, and compared it with unknown elements, and circled it three times.
Xiu Ke clapped his hands: "If you want to monitor these three directions, beautiful lady, it seems that we are going to have a wonderful time together on the top of the mountain, two of us!"
Yang Yuying slapped her over, and Xiu Ke fell down with an exaggerated look on her chest, her face turned blue and her breath was dying. Yang Yuying slowly ate clean rice, grabbed the money from his pocket and threw it to the boss, and then dragged Xiu Ke's feet with one hand and slowly left the hotel.
Pedestrians around: "…"
Just at the door of the snack shop not far from them, a young man who traveled thousands of miles from the Tianfan Empire to Yonglan and met his fiancée suddenly burst into cold sweat.
This girl has such a lot of strength!
The full armor of this knight alone would have to be dozens of pounds. Looking at his big man, his body is full of strong muscles, the weight cannot be too light.
He remembered what his senior brother told him before leaving. He said that the Yonglan Empire is different from the Tianfan Empire. In Yonglan, women are so fierce.
It is said that in their family, men left a very large number of permanent psychological shadows because they were raped by domestic..., and they were all on Tianfan's Royal Weekly.
His fiancée was given by his parents. He was always obedient and never thought of repenting of the marriage. When he was old, he even packed his bags and went straight to the imperial capital. One was to meet his fiancée, and the other was to give him a betrothal gift and discuss the marriage.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little scared, his legs were weak and weak, and he didn't want to get up and continue his journey.
Perhaps the things written in Royal Weekly were not rumored? The reason why it was clarified later, or was it really because of oppression by the Yonglan Empire?
In terms of force, the Tianfan Empire is stronger than the Yonglan Empire, but perhaps it is because the women in the Yonglan Empire are too strong and the men are too weak that the military aspect is almost intriguing?
The young man is full of imagination and decides to think more about his marriage.
At this moment, above the dock, Edward happily walked over and hugged Mrs. Hagen, "I miss my mother too, and I miss you very much. How is my mother okay?"
The mother Edward mentioned was not his adoptive mother, the Queen, and of course, he was not his dead biological mother, the queen's personal maid.
But his aunt.
Edward's mother died to save the king. Edward, who had just been born, was taken to the queen by the king. However, the queen had a large group of children at that time, how could she take good care of him?
Edward was still young at that time. Anyway, his previous generation had not seen any kind of chaos, so he was taken home and raised by his aunt, saying that he was his aunt, which was no different from his biological mother.
“… OK, all are good.”
Mrs. Hagen smiled, but there was a little bit of force in her smile. She stretched out her slightly thick hand and held Edward's arm, letting him get on the carriage first, and she sat on it herself.
Edward's heart suddenly sank: "What happened? Something happened to my mother?"
"Don't worry, my dear."
Mrs. Hagen sighed, "Madam is fine, but Prince William and His Highness passed away one after another."
Edward was stunned.
He is ready for Prince William's affairs.
The time when the danger occurred at sea, Prince William had already... but the queen would die, which shocked him.
"You know, the relationship between Mrs. Harry is not very good. Now news is circulating everywhere that the queen and Prince William die together, which has a lot to do with our wife, and His Majesty the King will likely marry our wife as his queen."
"My God, our wife has never stepped on an ant since she was a child. How could she do that kind of thing? The queen's affairs are even more outrageous, alas!"
While speaking, the carriage arrived at Mrs. Anne's manor.
This manor is only a few minutes away from the royal palace. In terms of location, it is the most prosperous part of the imperial capital. Mrs. Anne was born in a humble background but was in such a place. She had a vast manor and the identity of the king's lover. No wonder the idle people in the imperial capital always like to arrange stories related to her.
Edward hurried into the study and saw his mother sitting upright on the chair reading, which restrained her worries a little, "How could mother, the queen and Prince William... die?"
Anne is nearly fifty years old, but she is still graceful and beautiful. The subtle lines at the corners of her eyes did not reveal her old look, but she only had a bit of elegance after years of precipitation.
Some women can withstand the destruction of time, withstand the wind, frost, snow and rain, and are beautiful and charming.
Edward felt relieved when he saw her.
What he encountered on the road was really unsettling, and he was very worried... But now when he saw someone, he didn't feel that there was anything that could be disguised as his aunt.
How could this person's charm be imitated casually?
Anne put down the book at hand and shook her head gently: "Prince William died in an experimental accident. Many people looked at it at that time. It was a royal scandal. Don't inquire about this matter."
"As for the queen, it was said that it was a sudden illness and went there without rescue. His Highness is not young anymore. He worked hard and neglected to take care of him. Perhaps he had the news of William's death for a moment...ah!"
Edward was surprised: "How is that possible!"
It doesn't matter if you deceive outsiders. After all, the queen shows that she is very weak and affectionate all day long. But they know that Her Highness is extremely strong and it is not the first time she has lost her child. Prince William is not her favorite child, so how could she die because of these things?
For a moment, a layer of haze seemed to be shrouded on Edward's head.
While on the boat, he made an agreement with Ximan that he would never mention anything that happened on the boat. He attracted attention on the surface and Ximan secretly investigated the news.
The assassins on the sea have been caught in one net, and all the traces in the vast sea have disappeared.
Now the enemy may know that something has happened, but they do not know that two unexpected people, such as himself and Ximan, have escaped and returned to the imperial capital.
Then, it may be a good choice for them to watch quietly first.
"Edward, since you are back, don't go out casually these days. I will tell you to clean up your studio every day, it's very clean. If you like to draw, you just want to draw it down to the right painting."
Anne held Edward's hand and whispered, "I always feel that the emperors are not peaceful this year, and I don't know what His Majesty's star-gazers have seen."
Edward was already frightened, and now he was so scared by Mrs. Anne that he didn't dare to enter the palace, although the palace was actually his home.
Even though he was in a complicated mood, Edward had to attend the farewell ceremony of the queen's body.
He didn't even eat food. After seeing his aunt, he hurried to the palace. In fact, as soon as he arrived at the imperial capital, the first thing he should do was to go to the palace. But he was really worried about his aunt and couldn't help but come back to take a look.
The farewell ceremony for the queen's body was held solemnly and simply.
It is said that the queen decided to bury herself, not to have any treasures to bury with her, just move her bedroom into the royal tomb intact.
Edward thought he couldn't cry at the funeral. Although he was a sensitive person, he thought he was not cruel and ruthless, but in his life, the queen was like a lofty shadow. Sometimes he recalled and even couldn't remember the queen's appearance.
But on the day of funeral, when the haggard maid next to him gave him the painting tools and two boxes of books, he couldn't help but blush his eyes slightly.
Those books are the queen's dowry, and some of them are very precious ancient books, and they are also things that the queen cherished during her lifetime.
The funeral ended soon.
Edward's life seemed to have returned to peace. He stayed in the manor every day to paint carefully. The imperial capital did not enter into turmoil as he imagined, but was so calm that it was unbelievable.
At most, it was because of the death of the queen, and everyone fell in love with rumors, such as His Majesty's decision to make Lady Anne the queen, and when will Prince Harry be crowned crown prince.
In Yonglan, everyone felt that Harry would soon become the crown prince.
He was the eldest son born to the queen, smart and capable, and had a good reputation among the nobles. The people of the imperial capital had nothing to do with this great prince.
Prince Harry is now thirty years old, and even his eldest son is twelve years old, so he has already been established, but the king has never enthroned him.
Because of this, all the rumors in the capital are changed to a new trick every day.
Edward was not interested in rumors. He painted paintings in the manor for half a month. Except for occasionally going to the palace to meet his father and contacting him, he did not go anywhere, nor did he go to inquire about the undercurrents of the capital. He even did not pay attention to the situation of the dead nobles when he was in danger on the sea that day.
After being bored for several days, Edward sneaked out of the manor while his aunt went out.
To be continued...
