Throne Steps

"Li Chen."

Li Chen turned over the note in his hand and looked up at Menzel who walked in: "How is it?"

"All the survivors brought back have been settled, and the interrogation is underway." Menzel approached, "Two of the rescue team were seriously injured, but not fatal, and the others were injured with no serious injuries."

Li Chen said, "I'm asking her."

"Oh, the magic power source is broken, and the others are minor injuries in comparison." Menzel threw his short staff on the table between the two of them, and slumped on the chair, "No life-threatening , I should be able to wake up tomorrow morning... By the way, the tests of the magic stagnation agent and the 'Song of the Siren' were both positive."

"The magic stagnant is not a surprise. Judging from her ability, if her magic power is not sealed, it may be difficult to force her to such a situation." Li Chen replied, "And since she can be framed to take the magic stagnant , it won't be too difficult for her to win 'Song of the Siren'."

Menzel wiped his face: "I can't tell if she is addicted, do you want to arrange an antidote for her?"

"No, let's serve the Anshen tea. It is well known that the black swan serves the lone wolf, and it is justified to be able to take out the Anshen tea." Li Chen paused, and suddenly looked a little weird, "Has she...has she checked her whole body? "

Menzel put down his hand: "I know what you want to say...I checked it."

Li Chen looked at him silently.

Menzel thought about the wording for a while, and added: "She... will not be able to undergo a virginity test in the future."

"...It's over." Li Chen covered his eyes, "There's no reason for this."

Menzel couldn't keep up with his train of thought: "We are still responsible for this matter?"

"Think about it, when the black swan arrives, those scumbags still want to give her a back knife first, which means that their ultimate goal is to kill her." Li Chen put down his hand and looked into the void, "But they clearly saw She let go of the distress signal, but still had the time to kill her before... it shows that they are sure that no one will come to the rescue."

"You mean, the black swan who accidentally broke the game may be bitten back?" Menzel frowned, "But we kept alive, and she is still alive. These can prove our innocence."

"Sometimes, the so-called witness testimony will only backfire." Li Chen narrowed his eyes, and shredded the half-written paper on the table, "I have to talk to her first."

This matter is likely to become a Rashomon. Even Li Chen can't go straight to it rashly, and he has to think it through before discussing it.

Menzel seemed to be a little aware of the troubles of this matter, and said in shock: "If I knew it was like this, why bother to save her?"

"Are you crazy?" Li Chen glanced at him, "Dare to die for Saenlich, isn't it enough?"

Menzel thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's all because of those psychopaths. It's nothing to play cat and mouse. It's over if you start early, and let her send a distress signal..."

The next morning, Li Chen received the news that Lailier had woken up without waiting too long.

After a round of inspection, washing, catering and other necessary procedures, Li Chen was finally allowed to meet Lailier.Of course, after all, Lariel is in the hands of the black swan, and to put it bluntly, she is in a state of being slaughtered by him.She agrees to meet, what can only be said to be a choice without a choice.

When Li Chen stepped into the room where she was, she was sitting on the head of the bed, looking a bit more energetic.

More than 20 years ago, Lichen also had a one-on-one conversation with Lailier.However, the situation today is very different from that time.

"Good day, Your Highness." Li Chen stopped a few steps away and saluted her.

"Good day." Lailier's attitude was much better than when Xia Luo and Brown just broke the magic power source. She tried to smile, "Sorry, I can only see you like this. Thank you again for saving me."

"This is our duty." Li Chen replied lightly, "How do you feel now?"

"It's much better." Lailier smiled, "Sit down."

Li Chen moved a chair and sat down next to her bed, exchanged some polite words with her, and finally got to the point.

"We are interrogating the captured survivors, and they confessed the name of a great nobleman..." Li Chen asked, "Is there anything you want to explain?"

What he blurted out was a question, but actually implied the strength to get the answer.If Lairelle was smart enough, and sensible enough, at least she wouldn't dodge the question outright.

The pure white blonde was silent for a moment, and asked back: "Can I confirm first, how do you plan to arrange me?"

"Of course." Li Chen replied, "As long as your physical condition is suitable for traveling, we will send you directly back to the capital of the temple. I believe that under the care of Your Majesty, you will be able to recover faster and better."

In other words, Black Swan will not hand her over to her brother, nor bring her to Saenz for disposal, but directly send her to her father, Vagcheno.

Generally speaking, it is to prevent the moths from happening afterwards.

Lailier was noncommittal about this decision, and asked again: "So, did you tell Saenz about me?"

"Not yet, Your Highness." Li Chen replied, "It depends on what you will tell me later."

Lailier had a clear idea of ​​the current situation and said, "I understand."

Li Chen realized that she was about to start confessing, so he set his eyes on her, but he didn't show any persecution.

"In fact, it's nothing to tell you about this matter... No, it should be said, it's actually up to you to spread the news as soon as possible." Lailier smiled wryly and asked, "Do you know that a princess is pregnant? "

In fact, this news was only spread in a small area for the time being, and it had not been announced to the world. Li Chen could only reply: "I have heard about it."

Lailier nodded: "I can tell you with certainty that this is fake."

Li Chen was taken aback, and frowned, "What do you mean by 'fake'? Is the news fake?"

Lailier replied: "The news is true, but it's not true..."

"You mean...?"

"The princess is a fake pregnancy," said Lairelle.

"what!"

"She wasn't pregnant at all, but she released the news that she was pregnant, and pretended to be attacked with me and got separated." Lailier also frowned slightly, "I'm afraid she will soon release the news that she suffered a miscarriage due to the attack."

Lailier's words were like a bomb, and Li Chen didn't know which question to follow for a while: "Wait, you said she was 'pretending to be attacked'?!"

"I'm not questioning your interrogation capabilities..." Lailier looked at Li Chen, "However, I have enough reasons to suspect that she is directing and acting on her own."

Li Chen widened his eyes.

When Lailier visited the princess for some reason, she accidentally discovered that she was not pregnant.

But Lairelle didn't say anything at the time, and she was even careful not to let the princess know that she knew about it.However, when she stepped into the carriage to travel with the princess, everything began to run out of control in a direction she never expected or even expected.

She drank the tea handed by the princess herself, and the next moment the warning of enemy attack sounded, she and the princess' team were separated in the attack, and wave after wave of vicious attacks made the team secretly protecting her gradually defeated.

Obviously, the princess has known everything and decided to eliminate some hidden dangers first.

"I don't quite understand, Your Highness." Li Chen couldn't understand the story.

Previously, the princess used the power of the nobles to push the Minister of Military Affairs to the top, and the Southwest Garrison was the first to be affected.According to this, Fujalal's lineage should not deal with the princess and the great noble forces supporting them.However, the version of the story that Lichen heard now is that Fujalal's own sister actually went to visit the princess, and the princess actually asked someone pretending to be a nobleman to attack herself and Lailier? !

There are many questions, but Li Chen knows that not every question can be answered.

"I don't need to explore why you visited the princess..." Li Chen wiped his face, "But I need you to tell me that you just said so categorically that the princess arranged for someone to pretend to be a nobleman to hunt you down, so are you What reminder did you get that made you think that the princess was going to turn against the nobles, didn't you?"

Lailier looked at him without saying a word.

Li Chen almost confirmed his guess.If the princess was indeed planning to turn against the great nobles, it would not be surprising that Lairelle would pay a visit in person.Perhaps, the princess originally intended to fake the fact that "the killer went to Lailier but accidentally injured the princess and caused her to miscarry", so that when she provoked the conflict between the pure white color and the nobles, by the way, because of "killing the son" Revenge" turned his face.However, Lailier accidentally broke through her fake pregnancy, which caused her to keep doing nothing and make the fake show real.

incredible……

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chen suddenly felt that he who thought he was sensitive before was really a frog in a well.

The means of the princesses have exceeded his original impression of the princesses.From this point of view, the queen's ascension to the throne may not be just a castle in the air.

After getting so much information at once, Li Chen couldn't question it, so he could only be silent for a while, and then said: "Excuse me, Your Highness. If things are really as you said, I'm afraid you will have to settle for this loss for the time being. "

The great aristocrats are already the opposite of Eternal Color. If the princess speaks out and blames the attacks on herself and Lailier on the great nobles, then it is impossible for the princess to continue to stand by the great nobles.At this time, if you fall out with the royal family because of what Lailier said about the family, you are asking for trouble.So in a short time, it should be difficult for Lairier to seek revenge from her real enemy.

Lailier smiled wryly: "Why don't I know this truth?"

"It's good if you can understand. Then, the black swan can only be responsible for sending you back to the capital of the temple, I'm sorry." Li Chen paused, and then asked, "You... know that you should have taken it for a while before 'Song of the Siren'?"

Lailier's eyes opened slightly, and she quickly regained her composure and said, "I know now, thank you. If there is a withdrawal reaction during this period, I will trouble you."

...It seems that I don't know.Li Chen secretly said: This guy has a big problem with the people close to him.

But what he said was just comforting: "In the future, you will have to travel a lot. Now... you should relax and recover from your injuries."

When Lailier heard the words, she suddenly smiled: "I remember, Black Swan's Fudsi, Clement, Xia Luo, and that Brown, are all sources of magic power and vindictiveness that were shattered?"

Hearing her familiar tone, Li Chen had no choice but to ask back: "Why?"

Lily smiled reassuringly.

"I just want to say that so many people are still fine after abolishing the source, and I will be fine. Don't worry."
