midnight out of control

Nai said, "Neither you nor Jack is reassuring."

The princess was bewildered, and was glad that the queen had uncovered this chapter, so she took advantage of the situation and asked casually, "What's wrong with my brother?"

"He has done too many things wrong. I asked him to stay in the palace for two days and think about it. If you are fine, don't go to your brother." The queen seemed to be blaming Jack, but in fact she told the king through the princess. She and Jack are not grasshoppers on the same rope. She has a disagreement with Jack now. If Jack does something out of the ordinary, it has nothing to do with her.

"I see, mother."

The queen left satisfied.The princess went back to the house to discuss with the king nervously, and told the king verbatim what the queen had said before.The king thought for a while and asked, "So, Jack has been placed under house arrest?"

"The queen mother said she asked Jack to think about it." The princess agreed.

"What does the queen mean? What does she want to do..." The king couldn't figure out what the queen's intentions were, and he wasn't afraid of her. He didn't care to speculate. He just thought that Jack's house arrest was a good opportunity.

He told the princess: "Jack is under house arrest. This is a good time. Find a chance and bring Curtis to see me."

Jack has been waiting, and the opportunity didn't come too soon. Jack was imprisoned for two full days, and the queen never came again, but Jack guessed that she would be monitoring him at the end of the camera.So in the past two days, he has been watching TV in the house pretending to be safe, but every time the guards change shifts, he will stand at the door and watch for a while, chatting with them to make them relax their vigilance.During the third shift, Jack walked towards the door with the fruit on the table.

He was already acquainted with a few guards, and the guards were only doing the work the queen ordered, so they didn't make things difficult for Jack. They just watched him and didn't let him go out, and the rest of the time was fine for chatting.

"Hey, hard work. Come eat some of this." He Jack threw the fruit at several guards.

The guards took it one after another and thanked the prince with a smile.One of the guards accidentally missed it and dropped it, and Jack bent down to help him pick it up.

The moment they picked it up, the two fingers crossed each other, and the guard stuffed the phone into Jack's hand without a trace. The other three didn't see this scene. Due to the dead angle of the surveillance, only Jack's back was captured. .

"I pick it myself, I dare not bother Your Highness." The guard quickly picked up the fruit and stood still, as if nothing had happened.

Jack shrugged, made a "you guys are so boring" expression, turned and went back to the room, holding the phone in his palm, sweating nervously.

He pretended to be calm and sat on the sofa for a while, drank a glass of water, and shouted at the guard at the door: "Who is going to bring me some ice wine?"

The four guards did not move at all, Jack curled his lips and mocked, "No one dares to move without the queen's order?"

There was no response from the four of them. Jack pretended to be bored and went into the bathroom.

He closed the door nervously, leaned his head on the door and listened for a while, but there was no movement outside.The guard got the cell phone from someone unknown, it looks like it has been used for a long time, but it is very safe.Jack's own mobile phone was not only confiscated, but also might be at risk of being monitored. At present, this old mobile phone is very suitable for the current situation.

He huddled in the corner of the bathroom, quickly dialed the string of numbers he knew by heart, and the phone rang twice before he was connected. He whispered: "It's me."

Curtis was sitting on pins and needles at home. It had been two days since he received a call and bounced off the sofa. He was thinking about Jack like crazy. He was planning how to get news from Jack, but Jack turned the phone Called.

"Jack! What's wrong with you?" Curtis asked nervously.

Jack covered the phone and whispered, "I'm under house arrest. I have to find a way to get out. It might be a little troublesome."

Before Curtis could continue to say anything, there was a knock on the door. Curtis said to the phone: "Someone is here, don't hang up." Then he put the phone in his pocket, zipped it up, Open the door casually.

The princess stood outside the door, looking at Curtis with a smile.

Jack was obedient and didn't hang up the phone. The princess's voice came from the receiver, although it was not loud, it was very clear: "Curtis, you have to come to the palace with me. I need to trouble you for something."

Curtis rejected her without hesitation: "My people are all at the border, so I'm afraid I can't help much."

The princess took his arm affectionately: "Someone wants to see you."

Curtis avoided her hand indiscriminately and asked, "Who?"

"You'll know when you go." The princess didn't care about Curtis' resistance, and still came to pull him.

"Tell me." Curtis let her pull her, and gazed at her tenderly with blue eyes, looking affectionate and reliable. The princess couldn't help being affected by this look, and her heart began to shake.

Curtis noticed her hesitation, and patiently coaxed again: "Tell me."

"It's hard for me, Curtis." The princess was melted by his gentle attitude, she pouted slightly and complained, looking cute and playful.

"My father." After she finished speaking, she looked around and added, "Don't tell others."

Hearing all this, Jack didn't have time to be shocked. He quickly cut out of the call interface, pressed the button, and started recording.

Curtis no longer refused, followed the princess into the car, and rushed to the palace.

Curtis' residence was not far from the palace, and the car drove very fast, and it drove into the garden in a few minutes. Curtis got out of the car and opened the car door for the princess, and walked into the house with her.

The guard carried out a body search as required, and the phone was in Curtis's coat pocket. Curtis was full of aura and glared at the guard. Look to the princess.

The princess shook her head at the guard, who retreated knowingly.The princess knew that doing so would hurt the face of the captain of Curtis's personal guard, and explained: "It's the father's order, don't pay attention."

Curtis nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and touched his pocket uncomfortably. The princess stood outside the door, beckoning him to go in, and Curtis closed the door tightly after entering.

The king is in the house.

The king was waiting for him in the house, and Curtis pretended to be surprised when he saw the king: "Your Majesty?!"

The king nodded with a smile.

"When did you come back? I stayed in the ward for several days. It's great that you're fine, Your Majesty." Curtis stepped forward to salute, and the king put his arms around his shoulders and made him stand beside him.

"I just came back, I hope it's not too late. I was afraid I would never see you again." The king smiled.

"I've been worried." Curtis looked at him earnestly.

The king stared at him with a smile, and there was something in his words: "I narrowly escaped death and saved one life. I need to know who wants my life so much? I am not dead, I am afraid some people will be disappointed."

"The murderer was killed by me on the spot. It was just an ordinary attack, and it was all accidental, Your Majesty." Curtis said, "The prince also suffered a lot of injuries."

"I heard that you stood in front of Jack at that time?" The king seemed to be praising his selflessness. "He was only slightly injured. You saved my son's life."

"It's all about being loyal to the royal family, Your Majesty. This is my duty." Curtis bowed his head in a gesture of submission.

"Tell me who is behind the scenes. This is your duty." The king helped him up. "You are the captain of the personal guard. It should not be difficult to tell the truth."

"I'll try my best to find out." Curtis stood up and looked at him.

"You don't need to investigate," the king looked at Curtis, his eyes were as bright as a poisonous snake, "You know very well who is the instigator."

"It's my responsibility. I didn't do enough security work and caused you to be injured. I'm very guilty." Curtis changed the subject.

"That's not it," the king finally got to the point, "Why did Jack come back so early? His father was seriously injured, and he left him alone?"

"You are in the process of rescue, and the scene is chaotic. There must be no one in court." Curtis argued, "The prince did not get your permission to do this. Maybe it was wrong, but it is also for the sake of the country."

"That's good. Curtis." The king laughed, "You are loyal to Jack."

"I am only loyal to you, Your Majesty." Curtis looked at him calmly.

The king stared at him, and Curtis met his gaze without fear, without the slightest sign of backing down. The sun cast dappled light and shadows through the window, and the dust dust from it was constantly flying in the air. Neither of them moved, quietly After a few seconds of confrontation, Curtis's tall figure faintly revealed a threat, and the king first compromised.

He put his arms around Curtis's shoulders, and began to use another way to say: "The prince has not heard from me since my accident. Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know, Your Majesty. But I'm always at your disposal." Curtis evaded without a trace.

"There is something that needs to be done by you." The king approached Curtis and whispered, "Find a chance and kill the prince."

Curtis was shocked for a moment. The king already knew that the prince was behind the scenes, so did Jack expose it?He never thought that the king would ask him to kill the prince. He couldn't ask the king why, and tried to find a reason to evade the king's order, "I dare not disobey your order, but I was appointed by you as the captain of the personal guard to protect For the safety of the royal family members, it may not be good to come forward like this."

"You don't need to show your face." The king said, "I already knew what kind of person you are when I was on the Snowpiercer. You are not so soft-hearted, otherwise there would be no accident on the Snowpiercer."

"You just need to complete this task as I said." The king finally said.

The king's abacus is accurate, this is a strategy that kills three birds with one stone, and arranging Curtis to assassinate the prince is the best choice
