Chapter 683: Simple and Brutal

“…………………………”

Faced with Duanmu Huai’s provocation, Aurelia remained silent, while the black-haired maid looked at her uneasily.

“Your Highness?”

But the next moment, Aurelia made a decision.

“I know.”

While saying this, Aurelia looked at Duanmu Huai.

“Let’s go to the palace now.”

“Your Highness?!”

Hearing this, the black-haired maid looked at Aurelia with wide eyes in surprise. Of course, she was shocked. You know, what Duanmu Huai said now is no different from rebellion, and Aurelia actually… agreed?

“Oh? I didn’t expect you to make a decision so quickly.”

Even Duanmu Huai was slightly surprised. Although he did have this intention when he teased Aurelia just now, in fact, even Duanmu Huai himself didn’t think it would work. He originally thought that Aurelia would be distressed for a long time, and then she would make a pretentious excuse like "But he is my father after all" to blame everything on family affection, but she didn't expect Aurelia to be so pretentious and just do it.

This is really... interesting!

At this moment, Duanmu Huai's fire of fun was also burning.

"Go, go, go!"

Is it really going to be a classic remake?

"Hey? Wait, Your Highness?"

On the contrary, the maid was confused, but unfortunately, before she could say anything, Aurelia and Duanmu Huai had already left the room one after another, and the maid just gritted her teeth and followed them... After all, things have developed to this point, and there is no point in her saying anything, right?

With Aurelia leading the way, the group did not encounter any obstruction when they entered the palace again. Although some guards saw Aurelia's aggressive appearance and felt a little strange, they obviously did not think much about it, but took the initiative to make way for Aurelia.

Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder no one stopped Arthas when he rebelled.

Following behind Aurelia, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this scene. Aurelia's strength and reputation are first-class, and she is the only princess in this country, and there is no situation of seizing power. Therefore, almost no one thought that Aurelia would come to trouble the king.

"Bang."

Aurelia pushed open the door and strode into the hall, which scared the people inside. The old king still sat on the chair with a sick look, and the man in black robe stood beside the king. Seeing Aurelia come in, his face was obviously a little ugly.

"Princess, what do you want? Why didn't you pass it on in advance?"

Looking at the black-robed man in front of him accusing Aurelia, Duanmu Huai suddenly remembered the eunuchs around the emperor in the TV series he watched before, "Bold, dare to disturb the holy carriage" and so on.

"Father."

Aurelia ignored the black-robed man, but drew out the long sword, put it on the ground, and then half-knelt on the ground.

Oh, it tastes like this, it tastes like this!

Duanmu Huai stood by, keeping his composure on the surface, but he was already rubbing his hands in excitement.

"I want to discuss with you about the investigation of sea monsters."

"What else is there to discuss?"

However, the old king did not speak, and the black-robed eunuch next to him spoke again.

"Your Majesty has made a decision, you just need to execute it..."

"What's your business?"

However, before the black-robed eunuch finished speaking, he was interrupted by Duanmu Huai coldly.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is reporting to the King, where did you come from, an idiot, and you dare to speak here? Are you the king?"

"You..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's sarcasm, the black-robed man froze, and the guards next to him, although they did not say anything, showed some approval in their eyes. They had long been fed up with this bastard who was pretending to be powerful, but what could they do? The king listened to him, and they couldn't resist, right?

"This is a problem between my father and me, Mr. Christ."

Aurelia also stood up at this time, staring coldly at the black-robed man.

"Please leave here, I want to talk to my father in private."

"This, this is not okay! His Majesty is in poor health. If I am not around, what if something happens..."

"Oh, you mean, if you are here, His Majesty will be fine, and if you are not here, His Majesty will be in trouble, right?"

Duanmu Huai sneered again and interrupted the black-robed eunuch's speech.

"So you are threatening the royal family? You are so bold! You are not poisoning the king to manipulate him!"

"What did you say!?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the black-robed man's face suddenly changed, and the guards' eyes looking at him at this moment suddenly became cold. They were originally a little uncomfortable in their hearts, but after all, they didn't say it out loud, so no one would think too much. However, now Duanmu Huai simply and rudely tore off this fig leaf directly, that is another matter.

This is just like the emperor's new clothes. Everyone thinks the emperor is great, and most of them will doubt whether they are overthinking. Duanmu Huai directly pointed out that "this idiot is not wearing any clothes and is still laughing here..." Then all other reasons and excuses are untenable.

No matter what the black-robed man's reason is, in the final analysis, this is threatening the royal family with the king's life.

It would be strange if they could tolerate this.

"Bold maniac, guards, take him down quickly!!"

At this time, the eunuch in black robe was also very angry and hurriedly issued an order, but the guard remained motionless - just kidding, you are just a eunuch and not an emperor. We still listen to you when you pass an imperial edict. Your order is nothing. Son?

"guard!"

At this moment, Alleria also stood up, her face cold.

"Get Krist!"

"yes!"

This time, before Alleria could finish her words, the two guards standing beside the king pounced on him and pushed the black-robed eunuch to the ground like a chicken.

"Wait, wait, you can't do this! If I leave His Majesty the King, he will really die!"

At this moment, the black-robed eunuch became nervous and yelled loudly, but Duanmu Huai had already walked in front of him.

"It doesn't matter. Her Royal Highness Princess Aurelia will take over this post. You don't need to worry about national affairs..."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai turned to look at Alleria and made a gesture.

"Your Highness, if you don't mind, how about leaving this guy to me for interrogation?"

"Do you suspect that he has other agendas?"

"Of course, this is not obvious? And please don't forget what I do, Princess."

Just kidding, Duanmu Huai is a judge. A judge is the kind of person who, even if he loses a pen, can turn around and make others admit that he stole it - even if he later discovers that the pen was put in another pocket of his clothes. .

"Then it's up to you."

Alleria also nodded, deciding the fate of the black-robed eunuch with one sentence. The latter was also pale at the moment - his only support here is the king, because the king is currently half-paralyzed and half-dead, so he can obtain The power you want.

However, power requires recognition by others.

If everyone, including the princess, ministers, and soldiers, does not recognize his power, then he will be beaten back to his original form.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai gestured to the guards.

"Find an interrogation room and let me entertain him well."

"yes."

Since Her Royal Highness the Princess had spoken, the guard didn't say much. He nodded and dragged the wailing black-robed eunuch away from the side door, and Duanmu Huai followed them out.

Before leaving, Duanmuhuai looked back at Alleria again and found that she was coming to the king at this moment, looking at him with a bit of sadness.

But... To be honest, Alleria's performance still made Duanmuhuai very confused.

Duanmu Huai is the judge. If he thinks a person is suspicious, he will kill him. After all, this is what the judge does, and I don’t care what other people think.

But others are different.

In ancient China, many emperors were seriously ill in their late stages, and it was rare that any prince was bold enough to kill the emperor directly or cut off his treatment. Family ties are a very small aspect. On the other hand, officials who are loyal to the emperor may not necessarily be loyal to a certain prince. Of course, Aurelia's situation is different, but Duanmu Huai is sure that there must be many people among the nobles. against her.

It can be said that once Alleria does this, no matter whether the king is dead or not, Ruminas will definitely experience a turmoil.

Logically speaking, a princess like Alleria should try her best to avoid this situation, because the turmoil is likely to turn into a civil war. This may be the reason why Alleria has never done anything drastic before, but today...why did she suddenly change her temper?

Duanmu Huai didn't think that he could convince the princess by copying a few lines from the game. Then the princess's IQ was too low.

It must be said that from Duanmuhuai's perspective as a judge, Alleria's behavior was obviously a little abnormal.

But... let's talk about it then.

Duanmuhuai withdrew his gaze and followed the guard towards the corridor.

"Bang!"

The heavy iron door was closed heavily, and the black-robed eunuch collapsed on the ground. At this moment, he no longer had the majesty he had before, but looked at Duanmu Huai in horror, trembling all over as if he was having an epilepsy.

"You, you, what do you want to do?! I tell you, if something happens to me..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his right hand, and then the black-robed eunuch saw in horror that the fingers of Duanmu Huai's right hand began to gradually extend, squirm, and turned into sticky tentacles that flew out instantly, entangled tightly in the He grabbed the black-robed eunuch's neck and lifted him up, then the tentacles, like thick earthworms, crawled around the black-robed man's face, slowly moving upwards.

"I just need some memories from you. Well, it will hurt. Just bear with it."

As soon as Duanmuhuai finished speaking, those tentacles suddenly penetrated into the ears of the black-robed eunuch.

The next moment, shrill screams suddenly broke out.
