Chapter 188

In Heidelberg in September, it's a bit chilly at night.

Iron gray thorns bloom in a roadside garden at Hyderabad palace. When the wind blows through the thick branches, there are clear and sweet birds singing in the flowers.

In the north of the Durham Empire, there is a peculiar nightingale. They are small and like to build nests in thorns.

According to the statistics of the court gardeners, there are at least 340000 Nightingale couples nesting here among the large thorny flowers in Hydra palace. At night, especially on a moonlit night, these birds sing and make sounds of nature.

Marguerite III walked slowly along the road in the flower garden. The clear and sweet birdsong, like wisps of clear spring water, slowly extinguished her boiling anger.

"You know what? Just now, I wanted to hit Conrad on the ground It must be that he was beaten so little when he was a child that he was so unreliable; it must be that I beat him too few times when he was a child, and now I think of him itching! "

Mata XIII, like a silent and loyal old dog, quietly followed her, with his hands behind him without saying a word.

Finally, Marguerite III came to the end of the path and stopped at a quiet water lily pond. A small arched bridge across the small pond, covered with duckweed on the water, one after another quietly blooming water lily.

Marguerite III stepped onto the bridge and sat cross legged with her back against the guardrail of the bridge.

She patted the bridge beside her, and Matta XIII laughed and sat down close to Marguerite III. They sat side by side, the night wind blowing, lifting their hair and clothes, the water lily gently shaking on the water.

Just like 80 years ago, when they first fell in love, they sat quietly on the quiet bridge and enjoyed the quiet.

"Honey, I'm a little flustered, a little scared." Marguerite III murmured softly.

"Don't panic. Don't be afraid. I'll always be with you." Marta XIII gently stroked Marguerite III's long hair.

Margaret III was silent for a long time.

"You know where I am now. If, if I fail, I can't stick to the past, can we trust them with the Empire we have spent most of our lives?"

Margaret III sighed and continued to whisper.

"When I ascended to the throne, the Empire was haunted and swayed. You and I, like a couple of wolf and wolf, who are forced to a desperate situation, show their teeth by unscrupulous means, hysterically and violently, and drag the Empire out of the mire by countless dark, bloody, cruel and merciless tricks. "

"We plundered and filled the Treasury."

"We betray our faith and plunder our interests."

"We are cruel and bloodthirsty and suppress the enemy."

"So I became the craziest warmonger in medland; and you, many princesses of royal family, tossed and fell asleep, erudite, versatile, handsome and elegant, Prince Marta, known as the model of medland royal family, has become the craziest butcher around war traffickers!"

Marta XIII looked fondly at Marguerite III: "now, everything is all right."

Marguerite III curled her lips and said in a cold voice, "because we are still alive, everything looks ok."

"The empire is stronger than ever before. It is ten times and a hundred times stronger than the previous emperors! The territory of the empire is as vast as it has ever been, its Treasury has never been enriched before, and its army is unprecedented in scale and capable of fighting well. "

"Such a powerful empire, let us confident Empire, but the mid autumn massacre is like a hammer in the head, let me wake up."

"Such a powerful empire, church, St. HIA, highland Kingdom, and those damned heresies They didn't pay attention to the Empire. For the sake of interests, they still dare to set off a bloodbath in the Empire. "

"Such a powerful empire, the ice sea Kingdom, or the ice sea kingdom of our allies, they, a little bastard of the Carter Family, dare to ignore the power of the Empire, and brazenly break into the territory of the Empire and kill the loyal soldiers of the Empire."

"Such a powerful empire, an ambitious Empire, ready to do a big job, the most confidential strategic plan, the most confidential core information, unexpectedly appear in the port of Tulun tens of thousands of miles away!"

Marguerite III turned her head and looked at Mata XIII deeply: "honey, is such an empire really powerful?"

Marta XIII put his arm around Marguerite III's shoulder. He looked at his lover gently and said firmly and forcefully, "of course we are powerful."

Marguerite III murmured a little capriciously: "I am still here. While you are, the empire is undoubtedly powerful. But if I fail this time, I am not here, and you are not? Our children, the bastards around our children, can they take over the burden of the Empire and keep it strong? "

Mata XIII's eyes widened and he fell into a long silence."You're not sure." Marguerite III murmured, "so much confidential information, so much confidential information concerning the imperial strategy, is appearing in port Tulun without our knowledge?"

"If it wasn't for the lucky little fat Joe, he was lucky to have intercepted these data, if they fell into the enemy's hands Whether it's Saint Chia, or nice, or the ice sea... "

Margaret III shivered. She looked at Mata XIII and said in a deep voice, "I'm not afraid that there are problems within us. There is no empire that can be made monolithic What I fear is that we know nothing! "

"What I fear is that the man who makes such a thing is beside our heir, and we know nothing about it."

"Simon, Frederick's aide, his next of kin. He is suspected of stealing the highest imperial secrets. He is suspected of treason. "

"Henevy, Frederick's lover, his confidant, his right subordinate. She was suspected of murder and used disgraceful means to obtain the property of the people of the Empire. Oh, now there's one more charge for smuggling arms to the damned pirates! "

"Hanks, Marcos, they are also Frederick's aides, the right subordinates around him But look at what they have done. Is this the behavior of the imperial aristocracy? "

Margaret III looked at Mata XIII seriously: "honey, we are old! Even, we're going to die soon. If our heirs are surrounded by such vile bastards; if our empire is full of such little bastards who do anything for their own interests Can the Empire be handed over to them? "

Mata XIII was silent.

After a long time, Marta XIII said in a deep voice: "I have sent people to investigate From the top to the bottom, no matter who is involved, we will follow up to the end. "

"Besides, my dear, you must not be in a hurry, you must not be in a hurry. You have to believe in our kids. Sally is good, isn't it? Salean has always been very good, much better than his father, more than his brothers. "

"And, you see, vigrah is a good fellow, too. He's also our royal blood. He's such a good lad

"You have to believe in our children, you have to believe in ourselves, you have to believe in yourself!" Marta XIII looked at Marguerite III tenderly: "you will succeed."

Marguerite III curled her lips and looked up at the sky. "I have some small plans."

Martha XIII nodded with a smile: "everything is up to you, my majesty!"

In the night, in the streets and alleys of Heidelberg, groups of inspectors in the uniform of the black Ministry of inspection, together with a large group of palace guards in court Knights' clothes, are operating.

With the clattering of wheels and the sound of hoofs, a large group of men and horses arrived at the Naval Equipment Department building, five streets east of Hydra palace. They silently sealed off the front and rear gates of the building yard, and then quickly took control of the whole building.

It was night, and there were still many officers working overtime in the Naval Equipment Department building.

Dozens of naval officers are busy in the light of a brightly lit office which occupies half a floor. A large number of forms and account books were piled on the desk, and several servicemen ran back and forth with hot water kettles to add strong coffee to the busy official cups.

The door of the office was pushed open, and a large group of inspectors and palace guards poured in.

The naval officers on the scene raised their heads in a daze and looked at the inspectors who rushed in.

A senior inspector stepped forward two steps and said in a low, expressionless voice, "who is in charge here?"

Dozens of naval officers looked at the innermost parts of the office, separated by frosted glass. The doors of several separate offices were locked, and four offices had no lights except the one on the far left by the window.

With a click, the door of the office was opened, and a young man in a lieutenant general's uniform put out his head with a gloomy face: "what's the matter? Why is it so noisy?"

Outside the office, a naval officer said in a hurry: "this is Yu Lian, the second level confidential secretary of our equipment department..."

"Commander Yulian, please stop your work and cooperate with our investigation." Several inspectors quickly went to Yu Lian: "according to the order of the queen, during the investigation, you will be restricted personal freedom. Please..."

Yu Lian's upright face suddenly twisted. Looking at several inspectors approaching him, he uttered a hysterical cry. Then he opened the door and ran into the French window beside his right hand.

"Catch him!" Seeing this reaction, all the people present realized that there was a ghost in this guy!

More than a dozen palace guards issued a low howling sound of wolves, and their bodies suddenly turned into translucent shadows and flew away.

Yu Lian smashed the glass and fell into the yard outside.

In the distance, in the southeast of the palace of Hyderabad, a dull gunshot suddenly rang out. After that, gunfire broke out in more than ten places in Heidelberg at night.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
