Bureaucrats, or politicians, no matter how capable they were, at least had a certain level of eloquence. Hmm, Hosier had thrown away all the hidden dangers of his meeting with the suspect with a single sentence. Moreover, he had directly drawn Liang Lidong's belonging to his own camp.
Liang Lidong wasn't surprised. He had seen many politicians of this level in the game. "It doesn't matter whether he's a wanted criminal or a nephew. I just want to know if you have any news about Princess Emma, my lord. "
Hosier was slightly surprised. "If you're Princess Emma's companion, why aren't you with her?"
"I left the capital this morning for some business." Liang Lidong said helplessly, "When I came back, I found that I was wanted, and then I heard that the king was poisoned."
"Yes, it's a tragedy and a farce," Hosier said in a low voice. "I heard that you poisoned the king."
Liang Lidong smiled. "Such a farce happens in Hollevin every twenty to thirty years, but do you think Princess Emma poisoned her father?"
"Of course not." Hosier smiled. "Although Hollevin once had a queen, Princess Emma has been training in the Temple of Storms for a long time. It would be strange if she was interested in the throne. Besides … there's no Temple of Storms in the capital."
Hosier was speaking in a roundabout way, but Liang Lidong still understood what he was saying. To fight for the throne, one had to have power and background. Emma had power, but her power was the Temple of Storms. If there was a Temple of Storms in the capital, and there were enough priests and bishops, then Emma would be qualified to fight for the throne and become the queen. Then, the king might have been poisoned by her.
However, there was no Temple of Storms in the capital, so Hosier didn't think that Emma was the murderer of the king. But at the same time, he didn't think much of Emma. After all, a young princess who was going to be married sooner or later, or forever a Holy Lady, and who had no roots in Hollevin, couldn't make any waves.
"It's true that Princess Emma is not interested in the throne." Liang Lidong smiled. "But that doesn't mean she can be bullied. Sir Hosier, I would like to know Princess Emma's current whereabouts, or some general news. I believe that the great families and powers of King's City like you should be clear about this. "
"Is Princess Emma not allowed to be bullied?" Hosier nodded. "You're right. She's the Holy Virgin of the Temple of Storm. As far as I know, although the first prince had sent people to attack the inn where Princess Emma and her companions were staying, they had all escaped. They should be hiding somewhere in the capital now. "
Upon hearing this, Liang Lidong heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Hosier continued, "But, the Queen is now imprisoned by the eldest prince. I heard … of course, it's just a rumor. The eldest prince seems to have a strange feeling for the queen. "
Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment and then felt a little helpless. In the past, the life and death of the Queen had nothing to do with him. But now Emma was his friend, and the Queen was Emma's mother. If something happened to his friend's mother, he couldn't ignore it.
"Do you have any way to send me into the palace to meet the eldest prince?"
Hosier smiled faintly, "I can, but what benefits can I get?"
"The Morey family had a head-on conflict with the eldest prince. And there were casualties on both sides. " Liang Lidong said, "The Morey family controls the economic lifeline of Hollevin, even if the first prince comes to power. Even if the eldest prince comes to power, he still has to rely on you. After all, no amount of hatred can compare to profit. But as long as you send me into the palace to meet the eldest prince, maybe it won't be the eldest prince who becomes the king, but someone else. "
Hosier continued smiling. "As you said, profit comes first. The eldest prince. Second prince, what difference does it make to the Morey family who becomes the king? "
"Mood," Liang Lidong said slowly, "Working for a mortal enemy and working for an ally. Mood is different. "
Hosier narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. Then, he said with a smile, "I have to say, you've moved me. I'll send someone to send you into the palace later. I know you want to enter the palace to save the Queen, not to assassinate the eldest prince, but I'm still looking forward to what happens next. "
No matter what the situation was, it wasn't a big deal for the Morey family. But he still hoped that things would develop in a more favorable direction for the Morey family. Hosier turned to one of the guards and said, "Go wake Dole up. Let him bring our guest to meet the eldest prince, in the name of our family."
…
…
The Queen sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the night sky outside the window. She really didn't expect that the eldest prince would dare to poison the king and put the crime on his own sister.
She was now under house arrest, and she knew what would happen to her. After all, she could tell that the eldest prince had evil intentions towards her, which was why she planned to hide in Emma's territory after the king left.
But she didn't expect the eldest prince to be so impatient.
She sighed, feeling that life was really boring. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't let go of Emma, she would have killed herself long ago.
The night gradually deepened. Not long after, the door opened, and the eldest prince walked in barefoot, wearing a white velvet nightgown.
It had to be said that the eldest prince was very handsome, and was the ideal man in the eyes of most women. But when the Queen looked at him, she only felt waves of nausea.
"Looks like you're not going to resist." As soon as the eldest prince came in, he sat on the chair opposite the Queen, looking at his "spoils of war" with the eyes of a conqueror.
The Queen was very beautiful, and naturally, she wouldn't be bad if she could give birth to a daughter like Emma. And most importantly, she was much better than Emma's flat figure. Although her chest wasn't as big as the Alps like the Castellan's wife, it was at least as big as Mount Tai.
She would stand at the top and look down on all the mountains.
The eldest prince had evil intentions towards the Queen for a long time. Anyway, he wasn't related to her by blood, so there was nothing strange about stealing her.
The Queen looked at him calmly, with deep disdain in her eyes, "I understand what you're thinking. I can promise you anything, but you have to do one thing."
The eldest prince poured himself a glass of fruit wine to liven things up. "Speak."
"Let Emma leave the capital and don't cause trouble for her in the future, or I'll kill myself."
The eldest prince laughed. "Let Emma go. That's a good condition. Well, I promise you. Now you know what to do, right? "
Taking a deep breath, the Queen's hands began to reach behind her back, preparing to unbutton her dress. Just then, there was a knock on the door. The eldest prince frowned. In his excitement, he had wanted to ignore it, but the knocking came again in a few seconds.
The person who dared to do this must be his trusted aide, and it must be something important. The eldest prince sighed, stood up, and opened the door. A middle-aged man who looked like a butler stood outside, and he whispered something in the eldest prince's ear.
After hearing this, the eldest prince was silent for a moment, then turned to the Queen and said, "I'll come back to you later."
The Queen watched the eldest prince close the door and leave, and let out a long sigh of relief. Although she was already mentally prepared, she felt a chill on her skin at the thought of being touched by someone she disliked.
"If only there was a warrior who could save me from this place," the Queen murmured softly, then smiled bitterly.
The Queen whispered softly, then she smiled bitterly and said, "How old are you to still have such childish fantasies?"
Reality was reality, and fantasy was fantasy. Many times, although people succumbed to reality, they never stopped fantasizing about beautiful things, because it was often what kept them going. Although the Queen laughed at herself faintly, this did not stop her from fantasizing … If there really was a warrior who could save her, then it must be a handsome and refined young man.
The eldest prince brought his guards to where the king was near the ministers.
The throne sat on the steps, emanating an invisible aura of authority. The eldest prince did not hesitate to sit on it. After laughing out loud, he looked at the two youths below. One of them had bright golden hair and was wearing a red magician's robe. His expression changed, and he turned to look at the other person. It was someone he was familiar with. "Dole, what brings you here so late at night?"
"It's not that I'm looking for you, but this sir wants to talk to the eldest prince." Dole took a step back, highlighting Liang Lidong's position. "The Morey family is only responsible for introducing you."
"It's you who wants to see me? Who gave you the right? " The eldest prince's eyes were full of mockery. "You actually dare to come to the capital, a suspect who poisoned the king? How bold of you!"
Liang Lidong smiled. His noble aura, talent, and spiritual power were immediately unleashed, and faint golden spiritual waves surged throughout the entire meeting hall. Seeing this, Dole of the Morey family took a few steps back, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
The eldest prince's expression also changed. He became angry and fearful, and his mocking expression could no longer be seen.
The black-robed magician next to him unobtrusively stood in front of the eldest prince, and only then did the eldest prince's expression relax.
After a few seconds, the surging spiritual power gradually calmed down. Liang Lidong raised his eyebrows somewhat arrogantly. "Eldest prince, do you think I have the right to speak to you now?"
The eldest prince gritted his teeth and spat out one word, "Speak."
"I want to take the queen away."
"Impossible!" The eldest prince stood up and roared angrily. "Don't think that just because you're a Master-level spellcaster, you dare to speak nonsense. Believe it or not, I'll have someone kill you immediately."
"Then you'll have to pay with the lives of many soldiers, and perhaps even a Master." Liang Lidong glanced at the black-robed magician indifferently. "As far as I know, the second prince also has two Masters under his command. Are you willing to lose your powerful combat power at such a critical moment?"
