[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

The recent Prince Regent's Palace continues to be shrouded in a low air pressure. Although the owner of the palace, Prince Chen, still has the same expression and attitude as usual, all the attendants and guards are very obedient and try to reduce their sense of existence, while being careful not to mess up. Try to speak as if you were dumb.

Prince Chen is in a bad mood, of course, you can't expect someone to be in a good mood when they hear all kinds of gossip - especially when one of the protagonists of the gossip is himself.Prince Chen felt regretful when he thought about it, what kind of nerve was wrong with him that day, why would he indulge Du Wei again, if it wasn't for his inexplicable indulgence, such a situation would never have happened now!

Although most of those messy rumors are aimed at Du Wei, and all the ugly words come out, there must be someone behind the scenes to fuel the flames. Prince Chen could have taken action to suppress the rumors directly, and with strong measures, they can completely let them go in the shortest time. Shut up.But Prince Chen didn't do that. He intentionally indulged the rumors. That day Du Wei basically let the woman see that scene on purpose, so he will see how Du Wei wants to end the trouble now.

But what puzzled Prince Chen these days was that Du Wei didn't seem to be moved by the rumors at all.Du Wei still entered the palace from time to time, even with the scrutinizing eyes of the people in the palace, he still didn't consciously enter and exit his palace of the regent.Prince Chen felt that if this went on like this, Du Wei would not be doing well, and he would be depressed and sick.

So knowing that when Du Wei entered the palace again today, Prince Chen planned to have a frank and honest talk with Du Wei.However, there was one thing that was beyond Prince Chen's expectation, and that was his younger sister, Princess Louise.

Princess Louise is Prince Chen's favorite sister and a famous beauty in the empire. She is a very smart woman and a qualified royal princess.Louise once had a good impression of Du Wei, the Duke of Tulip who became famous as a young man, a kind of affection similar to admiration, and the other party is also one of the best young talents in the empire, so when Prince Chen hinted that she wanted her to marry Du Wei, She didn't object.

In Louise's view, Du Wei is a very good marriage partner. His identity, family background, ability and even himself are all top choices.Louise clearly understands that as a princess of the royal family, her marriage is to obtain greater benefits for the royal family, so she never had too many expectations for her future husband since she was a child.However, Prince Chen obviously treated her very well and gave her a certain degree of autonomy in marriage.

In fact, when Prince Chen hinted at Louise's marriage this time, Louise breathed a sigh of relief. The person she was going to marry was at least an extremely outstanding person, especially since she didn't dislike him, and even had a good impression of him.But what Louise never expected was that within a few days, rumors that her brother was having an affair with the Duke Tulip suddenly spread in the imperial capital!

Louise was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She didn't think that her brother and the Duke of Tulip had any relationship other than a monarch and minister, but she couldn't stand the raging rumors, which made this smart princess really conflicted.Of course, after hearing such rumors, Louise has subconsciously believed that the marriage between herself and the Duke of Tulip should be impossible.

Louise didn't feel any regrets, and she didn't have any extra thoughts about Du Wei. Like most people, she was confused by the increasingly exaggerated rumors and didn't know the truth.The weather was fine and the sun was shining. Louise went to the garden of the palace to relax, but by chance, she met Du Wei on the way.

Louise realized that the boy in front of her was the Tulip Duke after being reminded by the female officer beside her. She couldn't help but scrutinized Du Wei carefully. Well, he was indeed an outstanding character, but it didn't look like his brother would The type I like... Ahem, she's thinking about it anyway!

Louise saw Du Wei for the first time, but Du Wei was already very familiar with her.In the previous life, under his intentional or unintentional calculations, Her Royal Highness Princess Louise finally married his confidant Hussein, and after many years of contact, they are considered to be familiar with each other.Du Wei has a good impression of Princess Louise, she is smart enough, strong enough, calm and bold enough, she is a good woman.

"His Royal Highness." Du Wei took the lead to salute and say hello.

"Your Excellency." Louise bowed her head reservedly and said hello.Originally, the two met by chance, and it was considered polite to say hello to each other. It is naturally best to say goodbye at this time, but Louise obviously had something to ask in her heart, so she waved her hand and signaled the female attendant to stand a little further away. , she said, "My lord, forgive Louise for being presumptuous. Recently, my lord seems to have a very high reputation in the imperial capital."

Du Wei smiled slightly, "Your Highness, I don't want to be in the limelight, but I can't help it. Sometimes I want to keep a low profile but I can't."

Louise frowned, "Your Excellency, you don't mind, but others are not talking about you alone." Louise knew that she shouldn't talk about it, but to her, Prince Chen was the one who cared about her the most in the palace. People—her father, Augustine VI?Can the person who kills his concubine because the concubine can't give birth to a son have extra affection for her daughter? She doesn't want her brother's good reputation to be messed up.

"The princess is very protective of Her Majesty the Prince Regent." Du Wei almost guessed what Louise was thinking.It's just that things like reputation are really vain... There are not a few people who say in private that Chen killed his father and brother!How ridiculous, although the eldest prince was indeed forced to death by Chen, but Augustine VI is still alive and well, where did he kill his father?

Seeing that Du Wei didn't answer her, Louise simply said, "Even if the Duke is not afraid of the shadow, he should avoid suspicion properly. After all, not everyone knows the truth so well."

"Know the truth?" Du Wei raised his eyebrows, his smile widened a bit, but he looked straight into Louise's eyes, and lowered his voice, "Your Highness is actually the one who doesn't know the truth..." Du Wei didn't wait for Louise. Si retorted, and continued, "I can't guess what His Highness the Regent thinks, but I, myself, really love His Highness."

What?Princess Louise's eyes widened and she stared at Du Wei. What did she hear just now?Louise thought it was ridiculous. Does the Duke Tulip really like his brother?So these messy rumors are not all false?Louise, who felt a little weak all over, looked at the back of Du Wei leaving, and suddenly felt that it was good not to know anything.

Du Wei arrived at the Prince Regent's Palace unimpeded all the way. Prince Chen had been waiting for a long time. After letting Du Wei come in, he asked others to retreat—although this move could easily be misunderstood at this moment, Prince Chen was already too lazy to go. Nevermind. "Du Wei, tell me clearly, what exactly do you want to do this time?"

Du Wei stared at Prince Chen. The latter's expression was not very good-looking but very vivid. He didn't have the usual gentle and perfect camouflage at all. He looked at Du Wei and smiled, and said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Can't understand."

"Du Wei!" Prince Chen emphasized, "Are you satisfied with the rumors about the Regent of the Empire and Duke Tulip? Why don't you see for yourself what these rumors say about you!" Prince Chen Throwing the document at hand in front of Du Wei, "Falling on the king, serving the king with sex, selling yourself for glory... It's almost like saying that you deserve to be sentenced to death!"

Du Wei bent down to pick up the document, opened it and looked at it in amazement, "Tsk tsk, these people really write everything... Haha, it turns out that His Royal Highness killed the eldest prince because he wanted to snatch me over." ?... The reason why I became a duke was because I offered myself as a pillow and sold myself... Hey, there are even such things, as if they saw how we had sex! The stories of the bards are not like theirs Well written."

"Du Wei!" Prince Chen was extremely powerless. Facing someone like Du Wei, he felt that he lacked the ability to parry, "Do you think these are the stories of bards?"

"Huh? No, of course not. I am sincere to His Highness. Where is the story?" Du Wei stepped forward with a smile, but the words he said made Prince Chen want to scold him. With the expression of the prince, Du Wei coughed and said, "Your Highness, you must have found out who is behind the scenes to promote the rumors."

"It's just a group of people who can't see the situation clearly." Although the rumors made Prince Chen feel depressed, he will secretly remember this group of people who jumped the most happily, and he will deal with them one by one when he has a chance, " But you, aren't you happy with these rumors?"

Du Wei shrugged. He admitted that he didn't care about the rumors. Although the stories in them were exaggerated, Du Wei often listened to them with great joy, and they simply regarded them as a kind of joke. "Your Highness, why bother with this kind of thing?" Du Wei put the document back on Prince Chen's desk, "Your Highness looks at me, I don't mind at all."

Prince Chen sighed, he could somewhat guess what Du Wei was thinking, but just because he could guess, he felt even more depressed. "Du Wei, rumors are just rumors after all. As long as you show enough ability to make them shut up, there will be no problem. But if you make rumors become reality, it will not be that simple."

"I understand what Your Highness said." Du Wei naturally knew that Prince Chen was still consoling himself, but what Du Wei was sure of would never change, "However, when I found out that I liked Your Highness, I It has already been decided. What others say has anything to do with me? What others think of me has nothing to do with me? I, Du Wei, have never cared about such things. "

In Du Wei's view, the person he likes should belong to him aboveboard, and any underground love affair is not in his consideration at all.The rumors this time can be used as a pioneer. Du Wei has plenty of time to let people in the entire Roland Empire accept that their regent belongs to him.
