Be a mermaid after 1000 years

His Majesty the Emperor looked up at Blanche after he had finished explaining the reason for his visit. Emperor Luke was born with a calm and majestic appearance, but his eyes became sharper now. Lan Qi also acted calmly and calmly. The two confronted each other across a long table for a long time, and neither of them was weak. His Majesty the Emperor suddenly laughed, which surprised even Blanche.

"Blanche, you are one step too late. Prince Partridge came to my office early this morning."

Blanche raised his eyebrows, but didn't respond. His attitude has already shown that what to do is the emperor's business.

The emperor picked up the black tea in front of him and drank it slowly. When he put it down, he asked, "The tribute tea you have sent to the royal family in recent years is mostly from Xiulan's tea house, right?"

"Yes, she is very talented in this area, and the quality of the tea she produces is far ahead of others." Blanche's face was calm, but he was quite surprised in his heart. He didn't even mention Xiulan's name just now, just said The father also has a daughter. I didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to have investigated it in such detail.

"Hehe, don't get me wrong, Blanche, I've known about this for a long time, maybe I know more than you."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Could it be that informer again?

"Have you ever heard of Arthur?" The emperor changed the subject unexpectedly, "Arthur Antova, my brother, I haven't heard his name mentioned for many years, but I think You should know that last time Zoe had an accident, you asked me about the Laerz factory, and the queen told me that you were investigating the matter."

Arthur Antova, who was the first heir to the throne back then, was smart and talented since he was a child, but in the end the previous emperor passed the throne to Luke who was quiet and prudent before his death. Secretly colluded with the hostile planet Oran, and secretly produced and hoarded arms at the Laerz Machinery Manufacturing Factory under its name, and leaked the confidential information of the planet Motan to Oran many times in exchange for help in the mutiny and usurpation.

Twenty-two years ago, Blanche's father, the old Duke, led people to clean the Laerz factory. This is the real inside story of the Laerz factory fire accident. Unfortunately, although the raid was successful, Arthur himself was not captured. After the conspiracy was exposed, Arthur secretly fled to Planet Oran, and then sneaked back 22 years ago, planning an armed riot in the largest province on the planet Mortan, North Covey Province, intending to make a comeback. Xiulan's husband was there He was assassinated in that riot.

In this failure, Arthur did not escape. After being imprisoned, he refused to plead guilty and tried to escape from prison many times. He was executed by shooting. In order not to cause more confusion, this news was not made public.

Blanche nodded and replied, "Yes, I've heard of him." What happened 22 years ago didn't leave much impression on him, but 12 years ago, he was already 16 years old. But also know some.

"Are you still investigating about Zoe?"

"It's still going on, but it's a pity that there are not many gains."

"Hmm..." the emperor murmured, and the deep eyes under the bushy eyebrows showed a sense of sadness in recalling the past, and said, "You know? Arthur and your father used to be the closest friends, and they were classmates in a noble public school. , We talk about everything on weekdays, and there are many places where we share similar interests. Your father and I were not very close, but in the end he stood by my side and became my greatest help and helper. I am very grateful to him. "

"My father must have thought that you, Your Majesty, are truly suitable to be the emperor of Motan. His decision is very wise."

"Haha, Blanche, are you complimenting me or your father?"

"I'm telling the truth."

"Because your father was on my side, Arthur felt that he had been betrayed and deceived, and he had secretly revealed to me about Xiulan, Blanche, you are really similar to your father in some ways, and he also Just like you today, you took the initiative to come to me and confess everything to me. At that time, even your mother didn’t know about it. Your father said that he would find an opportunity to tell her and try to get forgiveness, but in the end he didn’t expect to be Make it like this, oh—"

Blanche was silent for a while, and asked, "Arthur also knows about this?"

"As I said, they used to have a good relationship. In fact, Xiulan's mother was introduced to your father after Arthur found out."

"Aren't you... not angry about this?"

"It's impossible for you to say that you don't mind at all, but if my heart is really so small, and I don't even have the capacity to accommodate people, how can I be qualified to be an emperor!"

Blanche relaxed her heart, and was just about to drink the black tea when her heart skipped a beat, and her movements stopped immediately.

The emperor gave him a strange look and asked, "What's the matter, boy?"

"Your Majesty, wait! Let me think again..." At that moment, Blanche always felt that he had caught something, yes!It was the thread he had been looking for.

"You say Arthur is well aware of this matter?"

"Yes, what's wrong with that?"

"Your Majesty, I found something last time. Do you know that Arthur once had a son?"

The emperor was happy when he heard this, and said: "He is my elder brother. How could I not know that he had a son, but the child died shortly after birth. His mother was the queen's cousin, named Moses. At that time, the poor mermaid was about to collapse. He was under a lot of psychological pressure. On the one hand, he knew that his husband was planning a rebellion. On the other hand, he mourned for his son who died young, so his spirit became a little abnormal. Before that, he sent a CD to the queen, Moses took a selfie, and he wrote in a messy, nonsense manner, I suspected he was delusional, but I didn’t expect him to say that Arthur’s betrayal of the planet Mortan was true The queen told me that Moses was expected to become the most powerful healing magician among the golden mermaids of their generation. It ended like this. In fact, most of the powerful spiritual magicians have such a miserable ending. They are always curious, want to spy on other people's hearts, and are very easily affected by negative emotions. There is no way, the mermaid is A fragile and sentimental creature, fortunately, the Queen's magic power is very weak, and I will try my best to make her happy, so as not to accumulate too many worries."

Blanche didn't care much about these things, and brought the topic back: "What if the child didn't die, Your Majesty, did you see the child die with your own eyes?"

"That's not true. The child was too young to hold a formal funeral. However, the queen visited Moses. Moses himself said that his child died. Since then, Moses has suffered from a very serious mental depression. He Probably thought it was his fault for not getting the kid back."

"Is that so..."

"Why do you think Arthur's child is alive?"

"This is just a guess, of course there is another possibility, such as the remnants of Arthur's party, you know my father is not a talkative person, for the sake of my mother's decency and his own reputation, he also Impossible to gossip, Chardy has been in my house for more than 20 years, he doesn't know the truth, most of the insiders are dead now, Prince Partridge only recently found out, obviously someone told him, but My mother swears that if it’s not her, then it’s someone else. Who could this person be? He knows everything about the past and must be someone close to my father. To tell you the truth, I even doubted Xiulan. When I returned to the territory the day before yesterday, I asked someone to check it out. Fortunately, her suspicion was basically ruled out."

"Well...Blanche, what you said makes sense. I remembered that after Arthur sneaked back to Mortan 12 years ago, we discovered that he had secretly been to Yucalai Province several times, which is an area with backward conditions. , we suspected at the time whether he was hiding a force there, but unfortunately nothing was found in the end, so does Arthur really have leftovers?"

Blanche became more and more convinced of her guess, and said: "And the murder case the night before yesterday, I believe it has nothing to do with the Prince's Mansion, but someone was involved in it, could this person be an informer? His purpose is What is it? Let the Duke's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion fight? Is it simply because we don't like our two families? Or is it to make Mo Tan mess up and take advantage of it..."

When Emperor Luke heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly. Blanche kept paying attention to his expression, and quickly stopped and asked, "Your Majesty, what did you think of?"

"I'm thinking, if there really is such a force, their purpose may not only be the two you listed, but there may be a deeper attempt." The emperor stood up and took a few steps, and then said: "With you Compared with my father's, Partridge's political attitude was always unclear. Before I inherited the throne, he had been vacillating between Arthur and me. Of course, he may have his own ambitions, you know, Antoine The inheritance of the royal family does not necessarily have to be a son, nephews also have the right to inherit, but in the end Partridge chose to be neutral, so during the years I have been emperor, he has been keeping a low profile...Blanche, you understand what I mean ?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it seems that someone wants to make trouble again. Maybe we should open the door to welcome them instead of being led around by the nose."

"Well, first, I'm going to talk to Partridge."

Li Miaowei swam to the pool and lay down on his stomach, wondering how the conversation between Blanche and His Majesty the Emperor was going.I really hope this mess can pass quickly.

Didi also floated up from the bottom of the pool and swam to Li Miaowei. The young man looked carefree all the time. He kept beating the water with his tail fin and said, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently. I really want to go back to the Elvis River, where the water is cool and pure, and we missed the snail production season a while ago."

"Do you want to eat anything now?" Li Miaowei answered absently.

"That's true, master, do you know? Marlowe's mother was also born in the Elvis River. Last month, his uncle specially sent snails to their family."

"Marlowe?" Li Miaowei thought for a while before he remembered who Marlowe was. He was the sharp little brother who broke the kidnapper's arm without blinking a few days ago. He looked fierce, the Duke said. , Marlowe is a good player he has drawn from the army. Li Miaowei thought that this is a very powerful character, but he didn't expect Marlowe to be very powerful, but he is not the character he expected. The young man is very shy and looks serious. Vicious, in fact, just to feel embarrassed.

These days, Li Miaowei's master and servant didn't go out very much, and he also knew about the bodyguards, so Blanche asked those soldiers to stay in the mansion temporarily to do defensive work.

"When did he tell you?"

"Just now, he happened to change shifts, so we chatted casually."

We've already talked about the birth of our mother, why don't we just chat a few words?Li Miaowei became gossipy, and he squeezed his eyes and asked, "Didi, why did he tell you this? I remember that Marlowe is not a talkative person."

"Ah?" Didi was stunned for a moment, obviously not thinking of other aspects, and said calmly: "Does this need a reason? We are friends, it's good to chat casually, anyway, there is nothing to do."

Li Miaowei really can't connect the crying Didi and the tough Marlowe as friends. The images of these two people are too incompatible.

There was a look of admiration on Didi's face, and he said to himself: "Master, Marlowe is amazing, he climbed up such a high wall, if only I could be so powerful, then I It can protect you, and it can also beat those guys who look down on us to the ground!"

Li Miaowei imagined Marlowe jumping up and down in front of Didi to show off, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Master, what are you laughing at?"

"It's okay, if you want to be like him, your arms will become so thick." Li Miaowei made a shape with both hands and continued to hit him: "Not to mention the calluses on one hand, there are scars all over your body. In addition, the skin needs to be tanned. You have to take off layers of skin, no amount of mask and sunscreen you can save, oh, and…”

"Stop! Master, stop talking." Didi's face was pale, "Actually, I think I'm fine now. I'm a mermaid, not a monkey. Let Marlowe do the roof jumping. !"
