"I knew that when I returned to Wangcheng, there would be nothing good waiting for me."

The queen mother called King Richard into the bedroom, and after dismissing the attendants in the palace, she sighed and complained, and said to him: "My dear son, everyone is talking about those old things about the royal family. It really puts me to shame..."

"Queen, let them talk about it. As long as there is no evidence, it will be counted as spreading rumors. If someone makes you angry, don't worry about it, just punish it!"

King Richard stretched out one hand to cover both of the Queen Mother's hands, and there was a very rare warmth in his eyes: "Besides, we were not undiscussed before, this time... Empress, don't be afraid, I've grown up."

The queen mother kept looking at him tenderly, with a maternal tenderness on her face: "Of course I believe in you, Richard. But I have to remind you of some things, because..."

She paused for a moment, sighed with melancholy and a little sadness: "There may indeed be a small amount of evidence in Dressel's hands, such as some letters I exchanged with... Fred back then. You know, Well, at that time, I was locked up by your father, so many things had to be entrusted to his wife—Mrs. Dressel. The child back then was also thanks to them... Well, I really can't think of it, Lord Dressel will betray us! They were my best allies."

King Richard almost felt a little ashamed, and hurriedly lowered his head slightly, lowering his gaze.

——They were originally my best allies.

He repeated this sentence secretly in his heart, and then thought in his heart: "But unfortunately, he is not my best courtier!"

However, King Richard did not want the Queen Mother to know the things he had done to embarrass Dressel...

Moreover, in his heart, he didn't think those things were wrong, because: "Dreisel, a bad old man, always likes to teach people, but I am the king of a country!"

So, he raised his head again, and said confidently and calmly: "But queen mother, people will change."

The queen mother was slightly taken aback, and murmured: "Really? Maybe... Maybe yes, you are right!"

So she stopped talking, and only quietly recalled some things in the past, and thought about the changes of things and people today, and then sighed deeply.

Seeing this, King Richard couldn't help but squeezed her hand, and said softly again: "Mother, don't worry, I will take care of everything."

There was a cold expression on his face: "Even if he has evidence, he is not afraid. Because the evidence may not be able to be presented!"

"Oh? So, you have a plan?"

When the queen mother heard this, she couldn't help asking curiously.

King Richard replied immediately with a smile: "There is no way to talk about it, but now someone is more angry and anxious than me."

The Empress Dowager's eyes met his for a few seconds, and then there was a look of surprise on her face: "You mean Henry? Well, that kid was not very quiet when he was young, but to tell you the truth, I never worried about it. He will take away your things... He has such an impetuous temperament and can't hold his breath all the time, so he can't do any big things at all. "

King Richard knew that the Queen Mother's belittling of Duke Henry was not out of disgust, but on the contrary, it was an indirect intercession for the other party.

Women are always soft-hearted. After all, children raised since childhood, even if they are not as important as their own sons, at least they have some affection.

Therefore, the king immediately replied very gently, as if afraid of her sadness, he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not touch Henry easily. After all, the male members of the royal family are only him and me... ...as long as he is not excessive, I will always forgive."

The queen mother said no more.

Although she was willing to tactfully intercede for Duke Henry, but if something really happened, she had to stand by her son.

At the same time, Duke Henry put on a cloak and arrived at Earl Safir's mansion with ease.

Then, he was led into the door by a servant, and came to a bedroom. Once he entered, he saw the rumored "dead" Earl Safir leaning on the bed, looking through some documents.

A look of annoyance quickly passed over Duke Henry's face, regretting not buying more people to poison him!

But even though he thought so in his heart, he still put on a smile on his face: "Good day, Lord Earl."

Earl Safire didn't get up to salute, but only smiled, and then replied without changing: "Good day, Your Excellency the Duke."

Duke Henry did not pursue the other party's faux pas either.

He sat down on a chair beside the bed very familiarly, and said to himself with a smile on his face: "Before, I heard the news that you were poisoned and killed. I was really sad for a long time. I thought that losing a close friend would be hard for me from now on." Gathering with you. Thanks to His Majesty's notification, I realized that you were just a little frightened. In fact, it was nothing serious. I am really happy for you! "

Earl Safire thanked calmly: "Thank you for your concern."

Duke Henry pulled the chair he was sitting on closer to the bed, as if he had a good relationship with Earl Safire: "Why do we need so much politeness between us? Back then, if there were not many mistakes in the middle, you and I We could have worked together well.”

Hearing this, Earl Safir wanted to laugh a little, just because he was amused by his cheekiness.

What did you say to cooperate well?Haven't they been entrapping each other all the time?

However, Duke Henry obviously has enough face to resist the ridicule of others, and his expression remains unchanged, but he is more earnest: "Fortunately, there is something that needs the help of the Earl, and we can finally make up for the previous regret. Collaborate once again."

Earl Safire looked over suspiciously, but still cautiously refrained from speaking too much.

Duke Henry didn't mind his reticence, and just continued to introduce: "Speaking of this matter, I also want to mention the fact that you were almost poisoned recently."

Earl Safire's expression was a little more serious, even though he didn't speak, he assumed a posture of listening carefully.

Duke Henry sighed: "It's also a coincidence, and you know that, recently, there have been some conflicts between me and Brother Wang, so I have to take the initiative to win over some allies. This is probably considered a court, It is the usual practice of the court, so I approached Lord Dressel... Although he was dismissed, the Dressel family is still quite authoritative among the old nobles."

There is nothing wrong with this, it is a normal operation to pull allies.

Earl Safire nodded slightly, pretending to understand.

Duke Henry said: "But when I got close to him, I accidentally discovered that he actually wanted to kill you!"

Earl Safire finally showed a look of astonishment on his face. It seemed that he didn't expect him to say it directly, and he also pointed out who the murderer was with certainty. He couldn't help asking with some hesitation: "Is he going to kill me?"

"Yes, it's him, there's nothing wrong with it."

Duke Henry looked serious, and said mysteriously: "I can't tell you how I found out, but I can tell you a general reason..."

"Not long ago, Master Dressel went completely insane because of the tragic death of his beloved daughter Suzanne. Therefore, he wants to drag everyone to die with him! Not only you, but even the Queen Mother, even me, he will rush over to cause trouble of."

Earl Safir doubted these words very much.

But Duke Henry vowed: "Believe me, a madman can do anything! My lord, we must take some measures!"

Earl Safire repeated in confusion: "Take measures?"

"That's right!" Duke Henry replied with a solemn face: "Now, Mr. Dressel is really annoying to the extreme. But the king can't easily touch him because of his reputation; the queen mother is soft-hearted and still misses the old Some friendship, although they want to punish him, they don't want his life..."

"But the existence of this old man, whether it is for you or me, is too much of an eyesore."

"As for me, I won't hide it from you. I'm afraid that he will talk about my treason and rebellion all day long. Even if I haven't done it recently, if I talk too much, Brother Wang will tell me I am afraid! Of course, these are not harmful to my life."

"But for you, my lord earl, that is a matter of life and death. It's like the poisonous killing last time. Although you escaped by chance, who knows the next time... So, why don't you and I join hands and think about it?" Fa'er got rid of him."

Earl Safir put down the document very carefully, seemed to think for a while, then slowly turned his gaze to him, and asked tentatively: "Then what method does the Duke plan to use to get rid of him?"

"Oh, don't come here!"

Duke Henry waved his hand angrily: "I have a solution, but I need you to cooperate! If you continue to act like this...it has nothing to do with you, you don't care, and you don't care about it at all. As if I didn’t want to be of any help, I simply walked away... spread the news that you are not dead, and let you experience the fun of being poisoned by someone!"

Earl Safire's eyes flickered, and he finally got rid of the detached and slightly contemptuous look on his face.

In fact, he also knew that most of these words were the nonsense of Duke Henry, but he completely agreed with the proposal of "getting rid of Lord Dressel", and he had long wanted to do it but failed.

So, he immediately showed a conciliatory smile, and took the initiative to say: "Your Excellency is serious, it's not that I don't want to contribute, isn't this what I'm waiting for you?"

Duke Henry still felt dissatisfied, he just felt that he was underestimated, but he also knew that the most important thing right now was to solve Dressel...

Therefore, he stopped thinking about it, and only whispered the poisonous plan he had thought up, and when he finished speaking, he showed a sinister smile and said firmly: "This time, we want to get rid of him completely!"
