Your Highness, please spare the concubine

A few hours later, Willis returned to Huka City with the guards sent by Hill You.

After the battle with the attackers last night, thick smoke and flames could be seen everywhere in this heavy city in the western region.

One night of cleaning got most of the place under control.

On the way back to the mansion, Wei Lisi, as the highest authority now, issued a series of orders while sitting in the carriage.

Because the city lord and many important officials were killed in the attack last night, most of the military and political affairs in Huka City will fall into the hands of Wei Lisi.

But now, there are rumors that she and Xieryou were severely injured at the banquet hall.

The harvest season and the celebration of the Victory Day have not yet come, and the haze first shrouded the surroundings of Huka City.

"As for the officials, let's select capable people from the people first, and transfer our people from the army into the Huka City system."

"They will be supervised, and the assessment period will be within 2 years. Some people may not need such a long time to see whether they are competent or not."

"But the commander-in-chief left later, and we still need to pay attention to these temporary personnel."

"The empire didn't send anyone here. The Japanese empress is here to preside over the military affairs for the time being."

"The first thing to do now is to appease the people and at the same time deal with the aftermath of this attack."

"For the time being, you don't need to worry about the information about the attackers. Fill in the vacancies of officials first, and leave all the big and small matters in the hotel for the emperor to review."

Walking side by side beside the carriage were the remaining small officials in Huka City. Because they received Wei Lisi's order, they were asked to go together to listen to the order.

Wei Lisi hid behind the curtain of the car and issued orders to them. At the same time, the commanders of several guards who accompanied them would also follow them to do these tasks at the request of Wei Lisi.

"Yes! Your Highness the Second Princess!"

These little officials felt a little regretful that they hadn't seen the rumored beautiful and heavenly princess.

But from the weak tone of the other party, it can indeed be heard that she is not in a good state at the moment.

When they were about to leave, Willis added another sentence.

"By the way, the nobles, the documents for questioning were sent door-to-door last night. If anyone dares to make trouble, you can directly arrest them and question them."

"Eh..." The petty officials hesitated for a moment, but still cupped their hands, "I obey."

"Go."

"Yes!"

When Wei Lisi, Xieryou and others returned to the hotel, a messenger soldier ran over.

"Your Highness, your letter."

There are three letters in total, and none of them use contact formations or Asuka messengers.

The envelopes were sealed with unopened wax seals, one of which came from her snow net.

And the other two...

"understood."

Wei Lisi waved her hand to let the people come back, and then took Lu Yu and Xixia to receive treatment.

She didn't take it apart to check it immediately.

Because Lu Yu and Xixia still have the magic~drug in their bodies, and the potency of the ~emotion~drug...

Although after fear of life and death and anxious search all night, relying on greater emotions to divert attention and slow down the effect of the medicine over time.

But now relaxed, they still have some symptoms.

Wei Lisi ordered someone to take the antidote for the two of them, but the strange thing was that the effect was not satisfactory.

Lu Yu was better, but Xixia didn't know what kind of constitution it was, and her face was still flushed.

Fortunately, the fear and fatigue accumulated all night made the two of them fall asleep after taking a bath even though their bodies were still hot.

Before going to bed, Lu Yu insisted on seeing Wei Lisi's treatment and carefully checking that there were no scars on her body, including some sensitive areas, before going to bed with peace of mind.

This made Willis a little guilty.

Because she always felt that Lu Yu was staring at her suspiciously during the inspection.

Could it have been discovered?

Of course, Wei Lisi maintained the majesty of the princess throughout the whole process-if some traces were seen, she could also say with a straight face that it was the traces after the battle.

Indeed, after the battle...

After finishing these things, Wei Lisi couldn't stand it anymore, her head just felt dizzy.

Going back to his room and lying on the bed, he took out the three letters from his pocket.

Let's put the snow net aside...

The other two are-

Squinting his sleepy eyes, he roughly scanned the contents above.

Wei Lisi sighed with a bit of resentment——

"My dear father, are you so quick..."

"Those people just showed their feet last night, and they sent the information over today."

Is it his help?

Or a warning?

Willis didn't know.

All she knew was that a second before she put away the letter and closed her eyes and fell asleep, a fragrant and tender body broke in from the door.

Behind him, there was Xieryou's anxious voice.

"Wait, wait! Willis needs to rest now... um..."

The person who came, had already jumped on Wei Lisi under Hill You's speechless expression.

"Your Highness! Are you alright, Your Highness? Before I entered the city, I heard about what happened here..."

"Annie?"

Unable to resist the drowsiness, Wei Lisi let out a little surprise, but still fainted heavily.

Volume 59#Chapter [-] The Cowardly Empire and the Death of the Great Prince

No matter which world you are in, as time goes by, jaw-dropping and shocking events will always occur.

These events are like turbulent waves in the river of time, causing fluctuations in the otherwise calm waters.

Its impact has been large and small.

But in the end, they will all be hidden in the long years.

It's just that for people today, the occurrence of any major event may affect their lives.

Since November 11th, the eldest prince Pierre Alexandre was injured and vomited blood and was unconscious.

The news that the court healers are at a loss has already spread in the imperial capital, Shengwei City.

People talk about it.

"I heard that the eldest prince is dying."

"Really? Not long ago, I went to see the scene when the First Prince led the army to go out on an expedition. That scene... tsk tsk."

"The one who led the horseback at that time was the First Prince, right? He looked majestic and handsome. How come he was going to die when he returned from a defeat?"

"Who said it wasn't? Did you go to see how the eldest prince looked when he came back? Even though he was defeated, you never heard that he was injured!"

"There are quite a few people who bumped into the convoy of the First Prince returning to the city. They all said that the First Prince was very energetic at the time, and even cursed at the lord of Slem City."

"Shh! Keep your voice down... I heard that it was because the First Prince ordered Lord Hodgson Tom arbitrarily and yelled at him, which resulted in the opponent's defeat. Later, the empire ordered them to bear the responsibility for compensation."

"Under this anger, Hodgson teamed up with Jerome of Lingao City to assassinate the eldest prince, and invited a master shadowman to poison him!"

"Shadowman? Do they even dare to do such a thing? Aren't they afraid of imperial revenge?"

"What do you think!? As long as they can afford the price, why don't they dare to do it? It's just like the Hasanghe organization that has popped up all over the mainland recently!"

"too frightening!"

"Let's go, stop talking, the guards are here."

The few people who were discussing in a low voice left the tavern, and the spy sitting at the table next to them had a gloomy face, full of worry.

A team of city guards walked through the avenue outside, and then tore up the notice board seeking civilian healers.

Most of the pedestrians who came and went gave pointers.

Because the court healers failed to treat the eldest prince Beard's condition, the official issued a notice to recruit private healers.

Of course, no royal name was used.

The notice only said that there are wounded in the empire who need the help of a healer, and the remuneration is good, without mentioning any news about the royal family.

But some people who know the inside story still understand the meaning behind it.

At this moment, there are three possibilities for the city defense troops to tear up these notices.

Either the eldest prince Beard has been healed and is no longer needed.

Or someone has accepted the announcement mission and achieved results, but this possibility is not high.

As for the last one...

The feeling that the storm was coming became more and more obvious, and the spies left the drink money on the table casually.

He must pass the news here to Slem City, so that his master can prepare early.

===

Not long after, the sound of the crowd wailing was faintly heard in the wind of the palace.

It is unknown how much of this cry is true or false, but it is clear that things have developed towards the worse.

Outside the palace, the No.20 three-letter form sent by Hodgson Tom was stopped.

The soldiers responsible for contacting and delivering the news stood restlessly in front of the towering and majestic palace gate, walking back and forth.

"Brother, just let me in, okay? Please!"

While speaking, he handed over a bag of golden dragons in his hand.

According to past experience, these money-greedy gate guards would pretend to decline and then hold on to the gold bag, and put it in their pockets with a guilty conscience.

Then he was so happy that he waved impatiently and let him in.

just today...

They didn't even take the gold bag.

"How many times do I have to tell you before you can understand!? His Majesty the Emperor said that you don't want any news or memorials from your lord! Are you trying to harm us?"

"I said you should stop waiting here, and get out if you have nothing else to do."

The guards waved their hands in disgust. At this sensitive time, if they had any relationship with Hodgson, they might be angered.

They dare not touch this mold.

The person in charge of delivering the letter knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed his head tearfully.

"My lord, if I can't send the play table in again, my lord will kill me!"

"Please, please!"

The man kowtowed on the ground until his head was bleeding, and the guards around him couldn't bear it, so they all turned their heads away.

But no one stood up to help him.

At this moment, a solemn eunuch walked out of the palace.

He shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Okay, stop knocking, His Majesty the Emperor asked Lord Hodgson's memorial to be presented, you follow me."

Hearing this, the man couldn't believe it at first, but when the other party repeated impatiently, he followed up gratefully.
