1~ Mystery

Remember for a second

As the last ray of light faded, the day completely came to an end, and the imminent darkness enveloped the dead city again.

The Scarlet Blood Region is now one of the most prosperous and powerful countries in the mainland, but as far as the grassroots people are concerned, the way of life is no different from that of other ethnic countries.

Except for some exclusive entertainment items for aristocrats and wealthy people, the literacy rate is low, and the grassroots people with low education level mostly follow the principle of going to bed after dinner. Families who have never set foot on a moderately prosperous family have no spare money to buy entertainment equipment, and secondly, they save fuel. Power saving.

The same is true for the blood clan masters, not to mention the relatively remote area of ​​Yuecheng.

The White Thorns family, one of the thirteen nobles of the blood clan, was formerly a wealthy family with only a little reputation. It is a noble family of the blood clan with a relatively short family history. It ranks at the bottom of the thirteen families.

It is said that his ancestors had the royal bloodline to marry, but this was many years ago. The royal bloodline has been decreasing in number, and today there are not many left, but this honor is still there.

Fame and birth are especially important to the white thorn family, who started from scratch, but neither can be bought with money.

Therefore, they are very fortunate that they made a fortune during the war, and selflessly donated a lot of money to the impoverished royal family, and thus obtained the opportunity to intermarry with the royal family and join the thirteen families.

Although their stance is to seize power, the White Thorns family, who are well versed in the way of prudence and self-preservation, has always been cautious in words and deeds, and seeks benefits and avoids disadvantages. Some people describe them as doing things like: they are afraid of squirrels, unless they are asked to do so. Take a position and try to be as vague as possible in all statements made

It is not without reason that they are called old fritters. Even today, when the royal family is declining, they have left a lot of backs for themselves.

But now, the owner of White Thorns - contrary to his usual leisurely and leisurely style, sits in the study with his brows furrowed and his face sluggish as he stares at the wick of the oil lamp.

He didn't turn on the electric light, just lit it -- just an inconspicuous oil lamp, as if to avoid something, his brows were tightly squeezed together, as if he was fighting an ideological struggle.

The night gradually deepened, and the drooping eyes suddenly opened, and the mental preparation and awareness were already prepared in my heart.

The hand holding the quill trembled slightly and then was grasped tightly, writing hurriedly on the white letter paper.

After putting the letter paper into the envelope and smearing the ink pad, I was deeply relieved.

The owner pushed open the door, looked around, carefully called a servant he could trust on weekdays, and carefully handed the envelope in his hand.

"Give this letter to Your Majesty Lilias, take my family crest, and send it over overnight, remember, this is just a trivial greeting letter, don't be too nervous, someone asks you who this letter is for , I replied that it was given to an old friend of mine, understand?"

After thousands of instructions, he watched the servant leave the mansion, and he was relieved. His whole body seemed to fall apart. He sat down on the wooden chair and watched the erratic flames. The sound of his heart beating loudly overwhelmed the birdsong outside the window.

I can't take care of myself, but I still have the mind to do this kind of thing, and I was caught. However, they will be secretly executed as a traitor. At that time, let alone himself, the century-old foundation of the White Thorns Family may be destroyed by his own hands.

But no matter what race you are, there is always a bottom line in your heart that can't be touched... Crossing this line, even if it costs your life.

"Wait, wait... Footsteps sounded from the peaceful courtyard, coming from far to near.

The owner of the guilty thief felt hair in his heart, and the sound of footsteps approaching gradually stimulated his extremely sensitive nerves.

The sound of the door shaft turning, the outsider made the head of the house numb, even though the waves were turbulent in his heart, he was still calm and calm, his eyes slowly moved from the flames.

"I don't know that Mila's niece is here, and I have lost her way to welcome her. Please atone for her sins."

"Uncle White Thorns, don't be polite, you are a senior, you are just a junior who has just presided over the family, and your experience is not enough. You still need more advice from the seniors." Outside the door, a girl in a gorgeous dress smiled politely , Then he walked into the room unceremoniously, and his ass fell on the main seat of the room.

"What is Mi Chang's niece coming to the humble house? Hehe, is she here to find my daughter? She shouldn't be in the mansion now, so I'll send someone to let her come back. I, the old man, will not enter into the topic of your young people. , to say goodbye.

"Uncle Baithorn is being polite, it doesn't have to be. Mila's purpose in coming here today is not to look for Hualan, but... Mi Li lightly opened her lips and her long legs wrapped in silk stockings were slightly raised." Uncle yours, discuss some important matters.

"You're welcome, niece, what can I discuss with this old man, the rules and stance of the White Thorns family are very firm." The head of the family smiled.

"Well, I also believe that Uncle White Thorn is on the same boat with us." Mi Li's smile seemed to mean something else. "Uncle White Thorns, Mikho just saw-

A servant rushed out of the door in a panic, holding a letter in his hand, as if he was running out of the city, who are you going to write to?"

"Oh, you are talking about this, oh, niece, you also know that our White Thorns family is not a native of Yuanyue City, right? There are still some branches in the place where our family originated, no. I am an old man. My friend's birthday, because of official business reasons, I can't go, so I sent someone a congratulatory message to express my heart." The white thorn family's face was amiable, like a kind elder.

"It turned out to be a congratulatory message. It's understandable that I miss my relatives and friends." Mi Li nodded thoughtfully.

"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for many years, and it's his birthday, I have nothing to say, and I can't be there in person, so I sent him a congratulatory letter.

"Do you need to bring your own coat of arms to the congratulatory letter?" Mi Lipi said with a smile.

"Crest? No, I didn't let that servant wear his coat of arms at all, what is Miss Mira talking about...

"Dong dong!" Two guards rushed in, escorting a man dressed as a servant.

The White Thorn Patriarch recognized it, this was the military dress of the Principality of Saitis.

"Uncle White Thorns, it's this daring slave who stole your coat of arms, and... Mi Li narrowed his eyes and looked at the White Thorns Patriarch whose face became more and more stiff. "You want to live in another wood.

She placed the coat of arms heavily on the table.

"My niece, it's very impolite to take your own soldiers to someone else's house and detain other people's slaves." Baithorn's face turned gloomy.

"It turns out that I didn't do it too much - didn't I?" Mira stood up and looked at the White Thorn Patriarch with a playful look. "At the right time, at the right place, just to catch a current one, I'm lucky.

"Patriarch of White Thorns, don't you plan to explain - next?"

"Explain? Explain what?" The matter was broken, and the White Thorns Patriarch had no worries and stood up indifferently. "We are all under the leadership of the Rassambo family. How can we choose a tree and live here?"

"So, Uncle White Thorns is convinced that he wants to change sides?" Mi Li grinned. "Eating things inside and out is worthy of being a commoner from a humble background. After gaining a profit, he bites back - the master, hehe

"Hehe, you had to succumb to us in order to save your family, but now you are trying to pretend to be arrogant? Do you think Rasambo will thank you for this? Stop dreaming, you are like us people.

"No, it's different, I'm different from you." The Patriarch of White Thorns shook his head. "At that time, I just had to change my position, and you, but you want to change the sky above your head!"

"Perhaps I don't deserve to talk about glory, but I can't do something like a foreigner and exterminate my royal family!" Patriarch of White Thorns - slapped the table. "Come on!"

"What?" Miho tilted his head. "Is Uncle White Thorns going to kill someone? It's heartless."

"Sorry, I can only make you feel wronged here for a few days, niece Mi Li, as long as you are obedient, I guarantee your safety.

"Guaranteed to keep my life safe? Pfft... that's a shame." Mira couldn't help laughing. "You are really loyal to the royal family, but you just don't know if your subordinates are equally loyal to you?"

".. What do you mean?" Until now, there has been no movement, and the Patriarch of White Thorns couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Come on! Where are the soldiers outside the door?? Didn't you hear??

"Uncle White Thorns, don't bother, don't you know that you are no longer the head of the White Thorns Family?" Mi Li said lightly, facing the door. "come in.'

"What, what??" The white thorn patriarch's eyes widened, and he understood the ins and outs of the matter in an instant, and pointed at the figure at the door and cursed. "You son of a bitch! How dare you sue..."

"Father, you are old and confused. Continue to control the family affairs. Maybe one day the family will be buried in your hands." The young man wearing a decent family dress smiled.

"You! How dare you join forces with outsiders to usurp the head of the family... Do you know what they are doing?

"Father, your thinking is too outdated, and the family has been stagnant for many years. Is this why you don't have any points in your heart?" The young man said every word.

"It's just a change of court, the country is still this country, the blood clan is still the same kind of blood clan, everyone's life is still the same, how can you attract foreign soldiers to cling to it - - talk?" The young man held his head high. "If we want to cling, it is also a foreign clan clinging to us, seeking the protection of the blood clan, everyone just takes what they need.

"Okay, Father, it's none of your business here, if you know something underground, just watch how I revive the White Thorns Family!

Outside the gate, two fully-armed soldiers walked in. They were strong and sharp, and they looked at the head of the family meaningfully with their knives in hand.

Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its time.

Prime Minister Derain, who has supported the court for more than 30 years, understands that his time is running out.

The royalist faction is weak, and the overall situation is controlled by him, the minister who controls the government, so there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Without him, with the support of the three families of Melville, Lefno, and Violet, Queen Lilias would be afraid that all the children would run away.

Among the thirteen families, only three unconditionally fully support the royal family, and most of the rest are power grabbers. How unfavorable the situation is - see.

The term of office of the prime minister is forty years. When the time comes, he must step down and select a new prime minister. This is an unchangeable rule and rule.

Husband Xiang Delan sighed, I am afraid that in the future, the Scarlet Empire will really have a bloody battle for power and profit, and the royal family is likely to be reduced to a mascot doll who cannot speak.

Fortunately, at most, it is involuntarily, and there is no worry about life, and the little brat of the power-seeking faction is not brave enough to attack the royal family.

Derain thinks so.

Thinking of these troubles, he inadvertently thought of Lilia's right to

what he said.

"I hope that Her Majesty the Queen has a bright eye and that the original choice was correct...

"Lord Gongxiang, it's time for court.

"Of course the old man knows." With the assistance of the servant, Derain tidyed up his appearance, put on the coat of the public symbol, and brushed every button on it with some nostalgia.

"Your Majesty, from now on, I can only rely on you.

Today is the day when the Prime Minister's term expires. 2KEACm

It seems that it is difficult to walk into the main hall, and it seems that everyone has been waiting for him for a long time.

"Prince Teresa, you are late."

Derain frowned. Seeing this disgusting face early in the morning, he would not be in a good mood.

"Some things have been delayed temporarily, why, I'm about to step down, can't let the old man be willful--return??" Delan frowned and stared.

"No, no, I just said that the impact of this is not very good. Is it still uncertain whether to step down or not?"

"Haha, yes." Derain was noncommittal, snorted coldly and avoided the minister.

Just kidding, after being repressed for 40 years, and finally waiting for him to step down, the power-seeking faction with different words and swords will hand over the position of minister to others? I don't believe it until I wake up.

"See Her Majesty the Queen.

"Your Excellency Minister, don't be too polite." Lilias seemed to keep that warm smile to everyone. "Come in.

"Then, let's not gossip anymore, you can't wait." Lilias sat high on the throne and glanced down at all the ministers. "Today is the day when the Prime Minister's term expires, and it is also the day when the Prime Minister resigns and selects a new Prime Minister. Tell me, the Prime Minister in your hearts.

"Your Majesty, I believe that cultivating the next generation of young people is the policy of governing the country, and we cannot let the old people control the government all the time, so I think.... A die-hard loyalist of the power-sequester has stood up.

Lilias almost guessed what he was going to say next, but she didn't guess the ending.

"The eldest young master of the Lefno family is young and promising, and he is a model for the younger generation of the Scarlet Empire. I think he should be given a second chance.

Immediately, the entire court context Wu Jie was dumbfounded.

Didn't you listen? ? The two factions that are incompatible with each other? The power-seeking faction actually wants to include members of the royalist family as ministers?! What kind of shit is this?
