Chapter 57: The sleeping king

"Belle, what happened to the palace?" Morin said to the person. "Is it what happened to Varian?"
The girl who hurried to Moline was Isabel. After she told Moline, she gasped a little, so she did not answer his question for the time being.
At this time, Yallin looked at Shen Sheng outside the auditorium door and said, "Listening to the ringing of the bells in the city, it is mostly the accident of His Majesty the King."
Sure enough, as Yarlin had expected, Isabel took a breath and said to Morin: "His Majesty, the father of Brother Varian, died this morning!"
"What!" everyone including Morin shouted in shock.
King Serifans is dead? This is really incredible. In Morin's impression, this 40-year-old king has always been in good health, how could he die?
"Little girl, do you know the cause of His Majesty's death?" Yallin asked Isabel after shock.
Isabel looked at the teacher and said: "The specific cause of death is not clear. The priest who saw the king said that the king seemed to be dying in his sleep. The most likely thing is that he has recently worked too hard and died of cardiac arrest."
Yallin frowned and thought, then said, "That is to say, the possibility of being assassinated is initially ruled out?"
"Teacher Leila," Morin said suddenly, "Thank you for taking care of this half semester, I have to leave now!"
Leila felt that Mo Lin was talking like this, and the boss in her heart was uncomfortable, so she frowned and asked, "Where are you going? I have applied to the college. I can hold a make-up exam for you and Lily, which will be conducted tomorrow. I missed the time!"
Morin took Isabel's hand, looked at Leila and Yallin, and said, "Relax, Teacher Leila, I will come back!" After that, he and Isabel hurried away.
Leila looked at the departing Moline, but this time she had no confidence in Moline's guarantee. At this moment, a generous hand fell on Leila's shoulder. She shivered violently. When she turned back to see Yallin, she sighed and looked out of the door again.
Moline and Isabel left the college and hurried to the palace. At this time, they were very worried about Varian, and the death of Serivans would definitely hit the prince who admired his father.
At this time, the palace fortress was extremely heavily guarded, but it was still easy for the two to enter the fortress.
The entire palace was immersed in grief. All the soldiers looked dignified. They all wore white cloaks and stood on duty like stone statues.
Under this atmosphere, Morin and Isabel felt even more depressed. They went to the king's bedroom with a serious expression of pain.
The main rooms and locations in the palace, Varian had taken Moline to visit, so Moline is relatively familiar with it.
The king's bedroom was just behind the throne hall. As they passed the hall, the golden lion throne looked lifeless, and even the handrails carved in gold seemed bleak.
This is a high-back chair that everyone wants to sit on, and everyone who sits on it will be changed by it.
Moline and Isabel came to the king's bedroom. At this time, the simple and elegant room was full of people.
King Serivas was like falling asleep, wearing his usual up-and-down clothing, holding his sword in his hands with his hands. His golden crown with a sapphire is still worn on his head, and a priest in a white robe is holding a scripture in his hand to overpower the king.
Next to the king's four-poster bed were his four children, starting from Varian in order of age to the end of the bed. Standing on the head of the king is the queen that Moline has seen.
When Mo Lin entered the house, he was seeing the queen from the side.
I saw that the jewellery on the queen's head turned out to be very messy, and the same. She still had powder on her face, and her sharp, thin face was very pale. Contrary to this paleness is her bright red lips.
If it wasn't for this special occasion, Morin almost thought that the queen was going to go to some lady's date.
While Mo Lin was observing the queen, the queen seemed to feel the gaze of others. She suddenly turned to look at the door, and with a little surprise she shouted: "Where did the untouchables dare to enter the palace privately!" Can't those guards be equipped?"
After the Queen so called, the dozen or so other ministers who stood on the periphery also looked at the door.
"You don't need to panic. It's a friend I invited. They're not untouchables." Varian saw a sad smile on Morale and Isabel's sad face.
The queen stared at Varian, screaming angrily: "Varian, pay attention to your tone. Although your father died, I am still your mother!"
Varian looked at the queen indifferently and said, "I know this naturally, and I don't need a reminder from my mother." He said to Morin after they said, "Come in, you guys can come, I never felt like now. So lonely."
Moline and Isabel came to Varian, and the queen glared at the three men, but Moline squinted at the queen.
The interrupted French style continued, and when everything was over, the king was carried into a white jade stone coffin, covered with the Phnom Penh blue background and angry lion king flag.
The coffin was lifted out of the bedroom and temporarily placed in the center of the throne hall. Around the coffin, there are flower rings and white candles.
It's just a pity that no matter how prosperous, people lying inside can't perceive it.
Varian led the two of Moline out of the throne hall and went west along a corridor. The place he was going to was actually the experimental tower prepared for Moline.
The three of them remained silent all the way until they entered the experimental tower's house. When the wooden door was closed, Varian sighed deeply.
auzw.com Morin and Isabel could see Varian’s cheeks rolling silently, but neither of them comforted him.
Such grief cannot be smoothed by language.
Isabel also shed tears with Varian, only Morin was still worried.
Varian gently wiped his cheek and coughed and said, "Morin, I really didn't expect it to be today. Not only the death of my father, but I suddenly felt that within this huge palace, I actually There's not even one person who can speak what you know."
Morin patted Varian's shoulder and said, "Brother Varian, you say, I listen."
"I think my father's death is strange," Varian looked at Morin and Isabel. "He would never say he died of a heart attack in the middle of the night, as the pastor and doctor who came to examine his father." ."
Morin nodded and said, "I don't know what to say, and my intuition also told me that the death of the king seemed to be a conspiracy. Because the time of his death was too coincidental. It was the day before the king sent his troops. But he died. I don’t believe there is such a coincidence in the world."
Varian smiled bitterly and said, "That's exactly what it is. Unfortunately, people in the palace now think that my father is a normal death. Any words of mine are regarded as unacceptable for his dead words."
Morin looked at Varian and said, "Brother Varian, can you tell me what happened to the king before he died? Are there any doubts and traces that can be adjusted?"
Varian pondered, and finally he said: "I went back to the palace last night and had a conversation with my father. He was in a good state of mind at that time, and he was very motivated. Later, his mother came to tell him to go back to sleep , She said, the father always stayed up late these days, seeing that his health is getting worse and worse, and the war is imminent, she hopes that the father can take a good rest. After that, the father will be separated from me until the morning, the housekeeper I realized that he was dead on the bed."
Moline frowned and asked, "Why didn't your mother discover the death of the king? Didn't she sleep with your father?"
"I asked her about this," Varian said. "She said that in order to give her father a good night's sleep, she gave the father a sleeping pill and went to another bedroom to go to bed. ."
"Did she take your father's medicine?" Morin said doubtfully. "What kind of sleeping aid?"
Varian said: "This is a common sleeping aid configured by the Royal Physician. I have seen the medicine and there is no problem. The medicine bottle is still on the father's table."
Morin looked at Varian, and he was still talking, but in the end he was determined to say, "Brother Varian, I have something to say about your mother's disrespect. I think there is something wrong with your mother. She When your father died, I still had the mood to clean myself up so well, and I didn't see a trace of real sadness on her face."
Varian looked at Morin and said, "No wonder my father said that you observe keenly, and you can find many problems. Please forgive me for lying to you about this matter, because this is a childhood event that I don't want to remember. Today’s queen is not my biological mother. She was the daughter of a nobleman who was proposed by the Minister after my mother died of a strange illness. She is now Lord Lord of Duskwood. Eberlock's sister."
"That is to say, your father and king are going to send soldiers to be recruited," Morin said slowly. "You have this mother's relative brother. Brother Varian, I know it is arrogant without any evidence. It is wrong to make a conclusion, but, I think your mother-in-law is absolutely inseparable from the death of the king."
"This is really an unacceptable inference," Varian said weakly. "She was the woman who had three children with my father!"
Mo Lin recalled the appearance of the three princes. His heart was touched for a while, and the brash words in his chest touched his teeth, but Leng told Mo Lin to press back.
He told himself in his heart: this kind of thing cannot be determined by his eyes alone, and now Varian is so sad that he can't sprinkle salt on his wounds.
"Brother Varian," Morin changed the subject and said, "What are you going to do next?"
Varian smiled bitterly and said: "If there is any plan, we will first put the father into the earth for security, and then succeed to his throne. However, I will not talk about the sending of soldiers for the purpose of conscription. Almost all the ministers in the palace have problems. Take care of things in the palace, and then talk about soliciting the five lords. I can’t repeat the same mistakes as my father.

"Can you succeed to the throne?" Morin asked worriedly.
Varian looked at Morin in surprise and said, "This is a certain thing. Although my father did not lay down the decree, every generation of king is succeeded by the great prince of the kingdom. This is the royal family's legacy. No one can do it. Comply."
When Morin heard Varian’s words, he had to believe it temporarily. However, he felt that Varian was too simple in thinking about this matter.
Even the king can die in sleep.
Whether your great prince can succeed or not is hard to say.
After talking about the things in the palace, Varian asked about Moline's duel again. When he learned that Moline had won, he congratulated Moline.
Later, Morin asked Isabel about Lily's situation again.
It turned out that after the treatment of Lily's disease, she still needed to rest in bed for three or five days, so she still stays in the cathedral.
At this moment, Morin remembered the re-examination he was about to face, so he went back to the cathedral with Isabel.
Although Varian wanted to go with them, his father died and he had to stay to keep the spirit. As a result, the prince could only watch the two leave.
Just as Moline and Isabel had just left the gate of the palace fortress, the queen was holding a narrow window looking down at the highest minaret of the fortress.
From the perspective of the queen, the two were like two ants, and it was estimated that she thought so in her heart.
"Go, do it clean." The queen waved behind her.
In the shadow of that room, a layer of transparent waves suddenly appeared, and then everything returned to calm.
"Although the ants can't make a big deal, but they are disgusting to me and still have to be crushed by me!"
The queen's eyes said sharply.
