Chapter 158: [The wind is blowing, the clouds are flying]

When a carriage slowly drove out of the north gate of the imperial capital, Mr. Qiu looked deeply at the queen who had fallen asleep.
Seth's suddenly disappeared-disappeared?
Roddy felt a bit bitter thinking about this: Sete was not dead. He knew this very well in his heart. He left with a curtain call full of irony, but he undoubtedly left them with a big mess!
Roddy suddenly noticed something extremely ridiculous-even though Seth had gone like this, it seemed that he still won!
He left, but left a queen and the child in the queen's belly...
How to solve this trouble? The queen absolutely refused to leave with Mr. Qiu... She refused to die.
A woman, if she falls into a stupid love, there is no reason to speak of... From the queen's decisive eyes, Roddy can be sure that even if she is dead now, she will not leave. She must still be thinking of that in her heart, thinking that that person will come back...
Naturally, Mr. Qiu would not take her away forcibly... If he did it deliberately, he would have done it a few years earlier.
Then the situation is complicated...
Although Dorset has gone, the development of the matter is still proceeding step by step according to his plan...
What about the queen? What about the child in the queen's belly?
Roddy can almost see how things will develop in the future... He must take over this mess, and it seems that the only solution at present is to follow Set's plan!
It's a big joke! It was as if he was rounding his hand and slapped himself with a loud slap! Thinking of the mocking smile before Seth disappeared, Roddy felt more and more depressed in his heart.
After the queen woke up, she just looked at Mr. Qiu with cold eyes, and there was no doubt a deep hatred in her eyes...that means "you forced him away!"
Mr. Qiu is strong, but at the same time he is also weak...
Finally, the queen finally called Roddy to her side and said a word in a low voice. After saying this, Roddy almost smiled bitterly.
The queen said: "Site told me that the emperor is dying!"
After coming out of the palace, Roddy suddenly missed a guy strongly in his mind-a guy who might be able to help himself solve these problems now.
Some of Dorset's words are right. He really wasn't good at thinking about these conspiracies... He didn't have these things in his mind.
So, after confessing to Mr. Qiu, Roddy quietly left the palace and headed towards the Ducal Tulip Mansion!
There are more people outside the Ducal Palace than in the past. Since the Prince’s Mansion was attacked, all the residences of the noble ministers of the empire have stepped up their defenses. Soldiers in the security posts patrolled back and forth, and some even blocked the streets to prevent idlers from entering or leaving.
After all, Roddy had different strengths at this moment. Even with so many soldiers, he still easily sneaked into the Duke's Palace.
He didn't look for Nicole, but was anxious, and ran directly to the quiet little courtyard in the Duke Tulip Mansion.
Avoiding the guards in the mansion, ran all the way into the small courtyard where no one came in or out on weekdays, and pushed aside the flash door he had studied in for a long time. Roddy couldn't stand it anymore and whispered. : "Andy! Come out!"
At a glance, the corner of the wall where the skeletons were originally placed is empty!
Andy is gone! Even the skeleton is gone!
Roddy's surprise is no small thing-he has always relied on Andy's guidance when encountering unsolvable things. Andy can be said to be the same as his teacher, but unfortunately since he transformed the dragon, he can't have any contact with Andy anymore. Now he ran back hopefully, only to find that the skeleton was gone!
Nicole has been restless these days. There have been a lot of things happening in the imperial capital these days. There is a mess outside, and there is constant news that the Prince's Mansion has been flattened by others, and the emperor has appeared vampires... The guards at home stepped up their inspections, but Nicole still kept herself in the room every day.
After the news of the emperor’s proposal of marriage began to spread, many people in the family congratulated her-but soon no one dared to say such things to her! Everyone understands that our eldest lady is very disgusted with the emperor's proposal-not only disgust, but also disgusting!
"Ah..." Nicole looked at her slightly haggard face in the mirror and shook her head: "Nicole, don't you want to revitalize the family? Why do you want to reject the emperor's proposal? Are you smart? Still a fool?"
Just after she said this, she heard a voice behind her softly saying: "You are a fool, but you are the most beautiful fool in the world."
The familiar voice fell in her ears, and Nicole's heart jumped suddenly. Huo Ran turned around and saw a familiar voice standing by the window. The originally closed window had been half opened, and this person stood there. Beside the curtain, there is a bitter smile on his face, and his eyes are full of tenderness, looking at himself!
Nicole took a deep breath, was taken aback, looked at this seemingly familiar face, and exclaimed: "You are Roddy!"
Roddy smiled bitterly: "It's me, I'm back."
Nicole dropped the comb in her hand to the ground, stood up, looked at Roddy dumbfounded, and muttered: "Your face... you took the mask off! How can you take off the mask? And ...How can you come back? You..."
Before she finished speaking, Roddy had already strode over, hugged Nicole in a hand, held her in his arms, and whispered: "Anyway, I'm back. Other people , No one wants to marry you away!"
Nicole seemed to have no strength at once, and hugged Roddy tightly with his backhand.
The two hugged so tightly together, Roddy was excited, lowered his head and wanted to kiss Nicole, but suddenly he was pushed away by Nicole. Nicole finally seemed to react emotionally. She stared at Roddy: "Are you crazy! How can you take the mask off? How did you take it off? And...you...you Why did you come back suddenly? Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
Roddy wanted to talk, but Nicole wouldn't let him say, and said in one breath: "I know you are worried about me, but I have rejected the emperor! I will have nothing to do! The emperor can never force me into the palace! But now you come back desperately, do you know how much trouble it will be?"
Roddy's eyes were a little helpless, he sighed softly, and whispered: "Is it troublesome? Nicole... I'm afraid the trouble is big this time! I...I met Set..."
An hour later, the guards who were patrolling outside suddenly heard the lady's exclamation from the building where Miss Nicole lived...
"what!!!"
Nicole's eyes widened and looked at Roddy in front of him. Fortunately, she only shouted, and she instinctively covered her mouth. Then her face became gloomy, her eyes flashed with anger, and she trembled: "That Bastard, he... is he crazy!"
There was a knock on the door outside, and then a guard said loudly: "Miss, are you okay?"
Nicole was angry and immediately shouted after hearing the words: "Sell anything! Go down, I'm fine! No one would be upstairs without me!"
After the guards outside left, Nicole couldn't help staying in the room and walked back and forth twice, frowning tightly, suddenly angry and sad, and finally sighed and whispered: "Rody, this time It's really troublesome."
"I know."
Nicole thought and thought, and sighed: "But now it seems that the only way in front of you is the plan of the fellow Set... Also, he said that the emperor will die? What does this mean? "
Roddy shook his head: "I don't know."
"I do not know what that means?"
Nicole frowned, but as soon as he finished saying this, the voice of the guard came from outside: "Miss Nicole, Lord Gordon, the commander of the Royal Guards, is here, and he wants to see you immediately!"
Nicole glanced at Roddy, thought about it, and said: "Okay, you let Gordon commander wait for me in the lobby..."
Before she could finish her words, Gordon's anxious voice came in: "Miss Nicole, I'm here, waiting for me to come in? It's urgent!"
Nicole was stunned for a moment and winked at Roddy, who immediately walked to behind the screen used to change clothes in the room.
Then Nicole took a deep breath and said, "Commander Gordon, please come in!"
The door opened, and the heavily armed Gordon strode in, first turned to close the door, and then went down on one knee. His face was full of serious and anxious expressions, and he whispered: "Miss Nicole, I'm sorry. I broke into your room...but it was really urgent...and I ran here secretly...so I really can’t help..."
"Please speak, Gordon commander!" Nicole remained calm.
Gordon’s voice is not loud, but every word is clear:
"Just an hour ago, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly fainted... After the chief warlock and medical officer in the palace checked, they all said..."
"Say what?"
"Said your Majesty will not live for a few days!"
"What!" Nicole jumped up and stared at Gordon.
Gordon whispered: "I learned the news just now, so I rushed to tell the lady! Miss..." He seemed to hesitate for a while, but still said: "Your Majesty is suddenly like this... but he didn't leave the crown prince. At this moment, the situation in the imperial capital is complicated... Our Tulip family should make some preparations! Whenever such imperial power changes, it is like walking a tightrope on a cliff! At this moment, Lord Duke is not in the imperial capital, so I have to report to the young lady. !"
Nicole's eyes flashed, she thought for a moment, and whispered: "Thank you, Commander Gordon..." After saying this, she immediately said loudly: "Come on, get the carriage! I want to enter the palace!"
Gordon was startled and said loudly: "Miss! Enter the palace now? Now..."
Nicole shook her head, her eyes were a little weird, she said lightly: "I'm going to see the Queen!" After a pause, she suddenly said: "Commander Gordon, please go out first... I want to change my clothes!"
`
In a royal manor on the outskirts, the gloomy Prince Barang was slowly wiping a dagger in his hand, and the cold light from that dagger was reflected on his face.
A trace of grief and haze flashed in the eyes of this serious middle-aged man. Suddenly he heard a few thumps outside the window. A homing pigeon flew in from outside. Prince Barang walked over and grabbed the homing pigeon and helped a silk thread from the pigeon’s leg. Pulled up and down with a thin note, unfolded and glanced.
His complexion suddenly changed, and complicated gazes appeared in his eyes, and then the gaze gradually turned into a smile, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"He actually can't do it... he can't do it now..." Prince Barang smiled bitterly: "He can't do it?"
He suddenly threw the paper roll in his hand on the ground, and said bitterly: "Why is this! Why I planned everything, but my son is dead!!"
After taking a few breaths, his breathing gradually calmed down. He picked up the paper roll on the ground again and looked at it again. He suddenly laughed and said, "Hahahaha...he's not working...then I am the emperor! I am the emperor." !!!"
He laughed louder and louder, but with his wild laughter, tears were already streaming out!
After finally calming down, he took a deep breath and yelled: "Come here!"
Prince Barang looked at the men who came in and said, "Send someone to the Central Cavalry Corps! Let the commander of the Bayi Army come to see me immediately!"
There was a sneer on his face, and the sharp gaze in his eyes made his subordinates stunned.
Prince Barang's complexion sank. Just as he was about to say something, suddenly a carrier pigeon flew into the window. With a move in his heart, Barang walked over, took down a piece of paper tied to the feet of the carrier pigeon, and frowned:" What news..."
He unrolled the scroll and only glanced at it, his eyes stared immediately, and he suddenly roared, "What's going on!! What's going on!!! She...she is actually pregnant!!!"
`
Imperial Capital, the House of the Marquis Caroline, Minister of Military Affairs of the Lionheart Family.
The old Marquis was already standing in front of the door. He just learned the news from the palace. His Majesty the Emperor was suddenly critically ill and has passed out of a coma. When he got the news, the old fox only had his eyelids tremble, and immediately issued an order. To the confidant at home.
"You immediately rode out of the city, hurried to the Northern Legion, and told Milo the news! Let him rectify the army immediately and wait for my news! Let him be ready at all times... But be sure to wait for my news, no news from me, Don’t allow him to act rashly! Now your Majesty is no longer able to succeed, and only Prince Barang can succeed to the throne... We have always been at odds, and I am the confidant of His Majesty. Now he succeeds to the throne, most of it will be against me! Let Milo do well! Prepare, in case of accidents!"
After giving this order, the old marquis sighed and murmured: "It's time for the change of imperial power again... It's really frightening to encounter this kind of thing... Barang really wants to touch our lion heart. From the family... Hmph, don’t forget that the Northern Legion of the Empire is still in our hands!"
Immediately, the old Marquis Caroline walked out of the Marquis Mansion under the of the guards, and was about to get on the carriage. Suddenly a horse ran from the street quickly and hurried to the door of the Marquis Mansion. One of them was dressed in the palace servants. The man jumped down.
The Marquis Caroline moved in his heart and told the guard not to stop the man, but he whispered: "Why did you come by yourself? I have heard from you."
The man walked quickly to the Marquis of Caroline and whispered a word in his ear.
This old fox maintained his composure when he heard the news that his majesty is dying, but when he heard these words, the muscles on his face trembled fiercely, and suddenly said to his hands: "Don't go to the palace!" !"
Seeing the stunned expressions of his guards, the Marquis Caroline looked gloomy and faint: "Out of the city! Go to Prince Barang's manor!"
The old marquis got into the carriage after saying this, and sat on his seat with a gloomy expression, still thinking of the words the inside line in the palace said to him just now.
"Your Majesty the Queen is pregnant! After checking by the Chief Medical Officer of the Palace, it was confirmed to be true! Now Miss Nicole of the Tulip Family is with Her Majesty the Queen... In view of the current serious situation of Her Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen ordered the Emperor to call back Tulips immediately. Duke! This order has been approved by the two princes and uncles of His Majesty!"
The old Marquis had a gloomy look in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Tulip..."
`
At the east gate of the imperial capital, a horse ran through the gate quickly, but the soldiers defending the city did not stop it, because the knight on the horse held a token symbolizing the royal emblem, and the horse quickly 'S galloping towards the station of the Central Cavalry Corps.
As for the north gate of the imperial capital, a horse also left the city and headed northward along the road. The knight in Mashan looked serious because he was carrying the strict orders of the old Marquis of Caroline!
And to the south of the imperial capital, on the main road that is dozens of miles away from the imperial capital, a handsome black horse is running fast with four hooves!
If Zieg or Gordon saw this horse, they would be very surprised-because this is the old Duke Tulip riding the black horse "Garros" that galloped on the battlefield for many years.
This horse is taller and stronger than ordinary horses. Its limbs are as strong as steel and iron bones, and the muscles on its body are distinct, as powerful as a knife! The knight on the horse had blue hair flying in the gusty wind, and his resolute face was a bit solemn. He leaned forward in the most accurate cavalry posture, trying to minimize physical exertion.
Because he knows that the road is still long!
Roddy is heading south, his destination is the southern purple leaf city! He clearly remembered Nicole's words:
"Rody, things are very dangerous now. You must go back to the south immediately, and then bring all the Spikes back! Use the fastest speed! At the same time, ask General Camus, the commander of the Southern Legion, to take the Southern Legion to the Imperial Capital immediately. I have an order signed by Her Majesty the Queen himself! Although Her Majesty the Queen has no right to do this, things are urgent now. If you tell Captain Camus about the situation in the imperial capital, you must understand it! If he does not understand, you You must convince him! The imperial capital has Mr. Qiu here, so you don't have to worry about our safety!"
Roddy didn't want to leave the imperial capital, but Nicole's another time made him determined.
What Nicole said was: "Rody... now Sete has betrayed the family and betrayed the empire... I... you are my only support! If the emperor dies, then Prince Barang learns that the queen is pregnant, then he A coup is inevitable! What the coup needs is military power! Our Tulip family is deeply rooted in the imperial military. Once the emperor dies, who will the army follow... Humph, just look at the pattern on the banner!"
Is it a coup? Roddy sneered in his heart—I might be bad at conspiracy and trickery, but if I were to take the Spike Army to kill, it would be a simple thing!
`
Just when the imperial capital was surging and the major forces were about to move, behind a remote and desolate mountain far from the outskirts of the imperial capital...
Huo Ran here is exactly a cemetery outside the imperial capital city, with large and small tombstones erected, just by looking at it, they are all cemeteries of civilians.
Under the gloomy sky, the cemetery seemed to be shrouded in mist and loneliness. Only occasionally I heard two crows croaking on the branches.
In the depths of the cemetery, there seemed to be a strange figure wriggling...
The figure seemed to be pieced together on the ground, and then a ball of brilliance enveloped him...
After fusing the last "part" into the body, the man finally stretched lazily, a somewhat relaxed smile appeared on a wooden face, and his mouth faintly said: "It's finally done... …It's easy to think of, but it's really complicated to do..."
He lowered his head and checked his body carefully, with a satisfied look in his eyes: "Fortunately, it's okay, it's finally a bit human...well, I just don't know how much spiritual energy will be consumed, how long will it last... The body that has just died is more suitable..."
Having said that, he sighed: "Let's make do with it..." He walked two steps crookedly, and smiled bitterly: "Damn, the posture of people walking is a bit unaccustomed..."
He just walked out of the cemetery like a wolf, with a triumphant smile...
"Boy Roddy, you will be shocked when you see me! Hahahaha...My old man is really a genius!"
