Chapter 1422 The Queen’s Call

The fish pond turned out great. Barbara was very pleased with it, and so were the rest of the family.

Most people's satisfaction is expressed in words, but little Loli Remi's satisfaction is expressed in actions.

She felt that this pond was so well built that it would be a pity if it only raised white fish. So, while everyone was praising the pond, the little Loli flew into the Elf Forest at a very fast speed and fished it out with a bag. He picked up a bunch of small frogs, turtles and other amphibians, and then happily flew back and poured them into the pond.

This frightened everyone.

The frog is okay and doesn't eat fish, but the turtle is not a favor. Even though it is only a quarter of the size of an adult's hand, it still can't hide its reputation as a fishing expert.

Fortunately, most of the little turtles in this group are full and are not interested in the white fish swimming around. Otherwise, we will see a merciless massacre.

After cleaning up the pond, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Florence had just prepared the hot lunch and was putting it on the table. There was an elf guard standing outside the gate calling me from a distance.

I wiped off my sweat, walked to the door, leaned against the door, and said, "Is something wrong?"

"Yes, yes, Sir Elder, the two majesties will declare you at the same time."

The guard said respectfully.

"Oh, wait a minute, I'll go back and change clothes."

With that said, he quickly returned to his room, changed into a set of clean clothes, and followed the elf guards to the palace.

On the way, the guard kept walking forward with his head lowered, and glanced at me sideways from time to time.

"Is something wrong?" I smiled and said, "Just tell me if you have something, it's okay, I won't blame you."

"Yes, yes." He paused and said, "Actually, I have always thought that the elders love our clan and are not as cruel and ruthless as the daily reports say."

Although the person in front of me was just a humble guard, his words still made me feel warm.

I nodded to him, smiled and said, "Thank you."

"This, I can't bear this." He waved his hands repeatedly with a look of fear on his face.

Only then did I realize that this person seemed to be stuttering a bit.

The elf guard suddenly realized that his behavior was a bit rude, so he touched his hair awkwardly and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Elder, I, my words have troubled you."

"It's not bothering you. I'm really grateful to you." I sighed and said, "Since the negative news about me came out, quite a few people regard me as a villain who only practices tyranny. I'm a pest, I've long been used to being scolded, but today, you suddenly spoke a different language. To be honest, I'm very touched, thank you."

"No, that's not the case, Mr. Elder." The guard said a little embarrassed, "Actually, I have had a problem since I was very young. When I'm anxious, I stutter when I speak, and people around me laugh at me. , so I, I can understand your feelings at this moment, but I am a humble person and I really can’t help you."

"Recognition of me is help to me," I smiled.

After entering the palace and coming to the conference hall, I met the two queens and other elders.

After greetings, the Elf Queen said: "Elder An Xiaoyi, what is your attitude towards this public opinion incident?"

"Attitude, well, I feel a bit innocent."

"Innocent?" the Elf Queen asked, "What is innocent?"

I replied seriously: "I am innocent."

Then, I recounted everything that happened that day.

The Elf Queen was expressionless and said, "Can you take responsibility for every word you say? Can you guarantee that every word you say is true?"

I held my head high and said, "Yes, I can."

She nodded and asked, "So, do you have any witnesses?"

"No," I said, "I don't know any of the elves present, and I can't guarantee that I will be able to find them."

The Elf Queen pondered for a moment and said, "If we can find them, can their words be used as a standard to judge your behavior?"

"No," I said, "Since someone can tamper with the truth of this matter and use it as evidence to slander me and publish it in the Moonlight City Daily, it means that someone or some people present at the time had malicious intentions towards me. If I find If the people who come here happen to be those who have ill intentions towards me, then the truth of the matter will be covered up, and it will be difficult for me to clear myself of my grievances."

"Those who are turbid will be filthy by themselves, and those who are pure will be clarified by themselves. Elder An Xiaoyi, are you afraid of finding witnesses to verify things face to face?" Elder Lindsay asked.

"What's so scary about me?" I laughed and said, "Even if the people who slander me are really found, even if the charges are definitely laid on me, what will happen?"

"Young man, hum." Elder Mela snorted softly and said, "If you take the throne, your title will be taken away, your noble status will be taken back, and everything you own will be confiscated. You and your 's family will also be expelled from Chandni City."

"Yes, I know." I said calmly without any fluctuations in my heart: "You may have forgotten that not long ago, I was just a refugee, taking a magic airship with my family and fleeing to this beautiful forest town. , at that time, I was just a title, the president of a small guild with no identity. Even if my current title and status are taken away by you, so what? Even if my tree house here is taken back by you, even if If I am expelled from Moonlight City by you, what will happen? It will just return everything to zero, and it will not affect me at all."

Elder Lindsay and Elder Meira looked a little ugly. They must have wanted to give me a showdown, or strip me of my title of elder, to dampen my spirit. Unfortunately, none of this was what they wanted.

"Elder An Xiaoyi," the Elf Queen suddenly said, "Can you prove your innocence?"

"No," I shook my head and said, "I really can't prove this, and I don't think it's necessary. As Elder Lindsay said, the pure will become pure by itself, and the turbid will become turbid by itself. If I have done those things, no matter what I do, No matter how you wash yourself, you will never be clean, but if I haven’t done those things, even if I don’t wash myself, I will still be clean.”

The Elf Queen was lost in thought, her resolute eyes blinking slightly, as if she was thinking about what question to ask me next.

After a while, she said: "That's it, Elder An Xiaoyi, the reason why I ask you these words is not that I don't trust you, but I hope that you can produce enough evidence to prove your case to all the people of Moonlight City." clean."

"I completely understand your good intentions, but, Her Majesty, have you ever thought about allowing the Moonlight City Daily News across the country to publish this unfavorable news about me? What is hidden behind this incident will be terrible. A power group can not only slander important ministers of the country through public opinion, but also avoid searches by law enforcement agencies. With all due respect, Your Majesty, I am afraid that with my current majesty, even if I produce conclusive evidence, people with ulterior motives will still Overturned in one sentence, it becomes a useless excuse.”
