At midnight, when Dewey left the palace, he looked listless.
The court banquet was still going on, but Dewey was not in the mood any longer, and he didn't even bother to do the hypocritical entertainment.
He is the Duke of tulip, and everyone knows that he is ill. He left early, and no one would say he was impolite.
But when Duwei left, Mrs. Liszt also left with her sister, and Prince Chen and the little emperor both got up to see each other off, which also gave Duwei and his party enough face.
As soon as the door of the banquet hall behind him was closed, the polite smile that was still hanging on the corner of Duwei's mouth just now dissipated. Instead, his eyes were deeply worried.
He looked up at the sky. In the wide Palace Square, the cold wind howled and rolled on him, which was quite cool. Although Dewey didn't feel much, Vivian and Joe were all shrinking. He just gave a smile, and his eyes showed a trace of warmth: "let's go, go home."
Then Dewey took a look at Mrs. Liszt, who was not far behind him. He gave a smile, nodded his head and said hello. There was a trace of worry in Mrs. Liszt's eyes, but she managed to smile.
Just after Duwei left, Prince Chen sat in the banquet hall, listening to the music with a calm face, and seemed to be listening attentively, while little emperor Charlie, obviously impatient, seemed to lose interest in the long banquet.
Gao Cha was holding a glass of wine in his hand. After clinking a glass with his colleagues who came to celebrate him, he turned and looked at the two emperors above. There was a twinkle in his eyes.
Slowly, Gao Cha walked through the crowd. When he came to a corner, he called a confidant of his family in a low voice. He looked around, but he said in a low voice: "Duke tulip went to the back of the palace just now. Maybe something happened. Go and find out! "
The pro follower seemed to have some doubts. Gao Cha said angrily in a low voice: "fool, you didn't notice when Duwei came out. Did you change into a new leather robe! Did the Regent ask him to go to the back to change his clothes? "
Said, sent away the pro with, Gao Cha's eyes, enigmatic.
The carriage gradually left the Palace Square. The night was lonely. There was no pedestrian on the cold street, just an occasional intersection. From afar came the sound of the boots of the patrolling soldiers.
The road was muddy and the wheels creaked. Dewey leaned on the seat in the carriage, his body lying soft, one hand supporting his chin, but his eyes were fixed on Gabriel, his brother in the carriage.
On the way back. Duvette wanted Gabriel and himself to ride in a carriage, and put Vivian and Joe sisters into another car, just to have a good talk with Gabriel.
"Come on, you don't talk all the way. Are you afraid that I will scold you? " Dewey finally spoke.
Gabriel seemed to be distracted. He was stunned: "hmm? what? Brother, what are you going to scold me for? "
Du Wei frowned and looked at his younger brother, only to find that his younger brother's face was puzzled and didn't look like he was pretending. Du Wei was patient and said slowly, "I warned you before I left halfway. Don't get into any trouble, but you
"I didn't do anything." Gabriel was at a loss.
Dewey took a deep breath and looked into his brother's eyes. "Don't you ask the muse to dance, trouble?"
Seeing that Gabriel was still at a loss, Dewey said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Charles refused to ask the muse to dance, but you... Hum, you are promising. You robbed the woman in front of the emperor. And sweep his face in front of him
Gabriel frowned. Strange voice way: "Yi? Brother, are you angry about this? What's the point? This kind of dance. Emperor, please don't understand Muse dance, I can please move, this is not a great thing. There are so many things like this. What's the big deal? "
Du Wei sighed and looked at his younger brother: "I mean, little Charlie seems to be interested in the muse. I don't care if you argue with the emperor, but it's not wise to do so blatantly."
Gabriel laughed. He looked at his brother and suddenly said, "brother, you haven't been to this kind of dance since you were a child, have you? At the party, no one will take these things seriously. You should pay too much attention to them. Even if he is the emperor, please don't move a lady to dance, it's just that he doesn't want to be a girl. It has nothing to do with what the emperor is not the emperor. No one will take such affairs seriously. "
Dewey thought for a moment, maybe I don't know much about the banquets between these Roland nobles, but Dewey knows that he should know Charlie's temperament!
This child may not be so magnanimous.
"He is the emperor." Dewey still reminds his brother.
Gabriel said with a smile, "it's just a 12-year-old and a half year-old. Who would be more serious about such a small thing?"
Speaking of this, Gabriel continued with a smile: "it's really difficult to invite the muse. The first time I invited her, I was also rejected. Fortunately, I'm not the emperor. Now I'm just a boy who didn't inherit the title. She said she can't dance, so I preached to her. As a result, she was entangled by me, I managed to pull it down
Du Wei shakes his head. He knows that this is a different idea. I'm afraid he can't persuade his younger brother. After thinking about it, Du Wei says, "Gabriel, I'll ask you a question. You should answer me honestly... Do you really like muses? I mean, if you want to marry her, would you like to? "
Gabriel listened to this, but also seriously up, thinking for a while, slowly nodded: "yes!"
After hearing this, Dewey put down his mind steadily.
ok In that case... Dewey had thought that if my brother was just playing around. If it happens, then it's really unnecessary to offend a future Emperor for such a thing.
But if my brother really likes it, then I can't ignore it!
In any case, Gabriel is my brother, who is my brother. He can't do anything to make his brother give up his beloved woman!
"I'll ask Mrs. Liszt to come over tomorrow, if she doesn't mind. It's up to me to make an engagement with the Liszt family. " Dewey seemed a little tired. He leaned back on his seat and sighed: "it's just this matter. I have to think about how to say hello to the chancellor of the exchequer. You little boy, before you inherit the title, you have decided to have two wives... Alas... "
Gabriel seemed to have a look of joy. But then he saw that Dewey was tired and worried: "brother... You seem to have something to worry about?"
Du Wei gave a wry smile and thought about the assassination behind the palace. But it was not necessary to talk to Gabriel about it, otherwise it would add unnecessary annoyance to him. He shook his head and said, "well. Let's not talk about some irrelevant things. "
After returning to the Duke's house, Vivian and Qiao Qiao both saw that Dewey seemed to have deep thoughts. After returning to the room, Dewey asked Gabriel to leave and scattered the servants.
It was late at night, and it would be light in a few hours, but Dewey didn't feel sleepy. He put on a pajama, but a person came to the bedroom, from the cupboard took out a sword wrapped with layers of leather.
The handle and blade of this sword are damaged in several places. It's an old sword. Although the light green rust on it has been oiled and maintained, it leaves a trace.
This is the sword left by my father. Dewey held the sword in his arms and stroked it with his fingers. Suddenly murmured in a low voice: "father... Your little son. It's not a fuel-efficient floor lamp. Hehe, grab a woman with the emperor. I'm afraid you couldn't do such a thing back then. "
He was in a trance when the door of the back study was pushed open and Joe came in wearing a black sleeping suit. She stood on the ground with silver hair and bare feet, a pair of bare feet like snow, holding a bright lamp inlaid with magic gems in her hand. After she came in slowly, she said with a smile, "don't you sleep?"
Dewey shook his head and touched his eyebrows. "I can't sleep."
"The candle light is too weak. It hurts my eyes to see it for a long time." JOJO came near and put the magic jewel lamp on Duwei's desk. Then he looked at Duwei and sat down in Duwei's arms with a soft smile. He stretched out his slender fingers and gently touched Duwei's eyebrows. He said in a soft voice: "you are in a bad mood. I can see that... Don't always frown. If you frown too much, you will get wrinkles."
Dewey laughed and was about to say a few interruptions, but Joe's face sank and said in a low voice, "I've... Seen the wheelchair you use when you go out today."
This sentence is very light, but Dewey listened, but immediately raised his head, looking at Joe's eyes.
Joe looked serious, shook his head and said, "you are a man who hides everything. Can't I... And Vivian, we are all useless women, can't we share your worries?"
Dewey didn't speak.
"The two shafts under your wheelchair are broken. I can see that they seem to have been directly crushed by some great force. In addition, the needle hidden in the armrest of your wheelchair has also been used. Don't forget, I brought the powder that can make people paralyzed on the tip of the needle to you from my teacher. "
JOJO said, dropping his head, looking into Dewey's eyes and saying in a deep voice, "tell me, did you fight someone in the palace?"
Duwei knew he couldn't hide it. He gave a wry smile, took Joe's soft waist in one hand, and said in a low voice: "it's not easy to hide people around him." Then he finally admitted: "yes, I left halfway to the back of the palace, someone tried to assassinate me."
"Assassinate you?" Joe didn't worry at all, just because others didn't know the current situation of Dewey, but Joe and Vivian knew it very well.
Although Dewey seems to be paralyzed, he just lost his magic. He is now so strong that he is almost immortal. Even if he doesn't stand here and let the enemy cut him with a knife, he may not be able to hurt his fur.
"Who did it?" Joe asked the really worrying question: "is it the Regent?"
Dewey shook his head. "He has a motive. But I'd rather believe it wasn't him
Then Dewey sighed deeply and said with a wry smile, "I can't figure out this for a while." Unfortunately, Qiao Qiao is not good at this kind of opportunistic things, but it can't help Du Wei. Just look at Du Wei sigh, Qiao Qiao heart a soft, gently leaned on Du Wei's shoulder: "don't think about it! Hum. Who dares to offend you again, cut it with one sword! If you let me know who it is, no matter who it is, I'll go straight to the door with my sword! " Du Wei smiles, but thinks of another thing: "well... About the wheelchair, Vivian knows?" Qiao Qiao seems to be a little shy: "no! Hum, she is more careful than me, or she found out first. Just told me. Vivian asked me to accompany you, but now she is preparing a new robe for you in her room. Hum, when you came out from the back, you changed a new robe, as long as you were not blind. You can see that there are some anomalies. " Just then, Vivian has come in from the outside with a new leather robe. The two sisters are wearing similar nightdresses. But the color is slightly different. Vivian is also generally barefoot, holding a new robe just sewn out, came in and saw Qiao Qiao sitting in Du Wei's arms, little silly girl seems to be a little shy, but Qiao Qiao, a careless hug Du Wei's neck, staring at his sister, and said: "blush what. Haven't you ever sat down? " Dewey shook his head. "Don't bully your sister." Said, Vivian just came near, Du Wei also a pull, let her sit on his other leg, Qiao Qiao rolled a white eye, but also obedient body moved to one side, let go of a little place. Two beauties were sitting on their legs and leaning in their arms. Dewey seemed to be in a better mood. Looking at Vivian's new robe. "What's the matter?" he said with a smile? Am I too poor to buy clothes? Do you want my wife to sew me a robe? " Vivian blushed and said, "No. No... yes, it's me, I see you... "Joe, not angry, put in a sentence:" let me talk about it! When you finish your sentence, the day will be bright... Ah The last exclamation, but Du Wei see, but she bully Vivian, reached below, in Qiao Qiao's hip took a record. Qiao Qiao's cheek was crimson and her eyes were a little charming. She gave Du Wei a faint look, and her voice was soft. She said softly, "we two see that you are mostly in the palace. Vivian, a little silly girl, worried about you and got you this new robe, which was inlaid with some magic gems. Vivian also blessed two spiritual magic on it. After that, even if you are not around us, if something happens, as long as the distance is not too far, we can feel it immediately. " Although it's not very useful for Du Wei, it's their thoughts after all. Du Wei smiles, but takes the robe, puts it on the table, hugs the two sisters, kisses them, and sighs: "what a pity..." "what a pity?" Dewey was straight and serious: "it's a pity... Such a good atmosphere, but... Can't do it." In the middle of the night, the three of them were in the study, huddled on a chair, and whispered for a while. The atmosphere was excellent. They didn't know what Dewey whispered. They made Joe blush, but Vivian was too shy to lift her head. They were both charming and submissive. They were obviously moved. But just at this time, far away from the outside, there came a sound of the scenery“ Adult... "Little housekeeper Sandy's voice was a little helpless. She was trembling and said in a loud voice in the distance:" I dare not disturb the rest of adult and his wife. It's just that there's something urgent. " Sandy was obviously afraid. Maybe he was afraid of Joe. The little smart guy didn't even dare to come near. He stood far away and said in a loud voice, "a guest is asking to see you."“ Now? " Joe was angry, the atmosphere was interrupted, a stomach of fire is about to spread to Sandy: "what guests, visit in the middle of the night!"“ Yes, I know it's against the rules, but I can't rush this guest... Your highness, yes, it's Mrs. Liszt Mrs. Liszt? Dewey was stunned. Before that, she separated from the palace gate. After a short time, she came to see herself again?
