Chapter 185: The night of commotion
In September, Heidra Fort is already a little cool at night.
In the Hydra Palace, in the roadside flowerbed, iron-gray thorn flowers are blooming. The wind blows through the dense branches, and there are crisp and pleasant bird songs in the flowers.
In the north of the Derren Empire, there was a peculiar nightingale, who were petite and loved to build nests in thorn bushes.
According to statistics from the palace gardeners, in the large thorny flowers in the Hydra Palace, at least 30,000 nightingales and couples built nests here. At night, especially on beautiful nights, these birds sing and make the sound of nature.
Margaret III walked slowly along the road in the flowerbed. The crisp and pleasant sound of birds singing was like a wisp of clear spring water, slowly extinguishing the boiling anger in her heart.
"Do you know? Just now, I really wanted to press Conrad to the ground and beat him up... It must be because he was beaten too little when he was a child, so he was so unreliable when he was a child; it must be because I beat him too little when he was a child, and now I feel itchy when I think of him!"
Mata Thirteenth generation was like a silent and loyal old dog, quietly following her, with her hands behind her back without saying a word.
Finally, Margaret III walked to the end of the path and stopped by a quiet water lily pond. A small arched bridge spanned the small pond, and water lilies bloomed quietly on the water surface of duckweed.
Margaret III walked onto the small bridge, leaned against the small bridge guardrail, and sat cross-legged on the bridge board.
She gently patted the bridge beside her. Mata XIII laughed "hehe" and sat down tightly against Margaret III. The two sat shoulder to shoulder. The night wind blew, raising their hair and clothes, and the water lilies shaking gently on the water surface.
Just like eighty years ago, when they were in their first love, they sat quietly on this secluded bridge, quietly enjoying this tranquility.
"Dear, I'm a little panicked and a little scared." Margaret III muttered softly.
"Don't panic, don't be afraid, I'll always be by your side." Mata XIII gently stroked Margaret III's long hair.
Margaret III was silent for a long time.
"You know my current situation. If, if, if I fail and I can't hold on, the empire we have spent most of our lives, can we leave it to them with confidence?"
Margaret III sighed and continued to whisper softly.
"When I ascended the throne, the empire was in chaos and storm. You and I were like a pair of male and female wolves who were forced into desperate situations, grinning at any means, hysterically violent and violent, using countless dark, bloody, cruel and ruthless tricks to drag the empire out of the quagmire bit by bit."
"We plunder and fill the treasury."
"We are betrayal and plundering interests."
"We are tyrannical and bloodthirsty and suppress the enemy."
"So, I became the craziest war dealer in the Medland continent; and you, the princesses of the royal family tossed and turned, dreaming of, knowledgeable, talented, handsome, elegant, and known as the model of the Medland royal family, became the craziest butcher around the war dealer!"
Mata XIII looked at Margaret III with a doting look: "Now, everything is fine."
Margaret III curled his lips and said coldly: "Because we are still alive, everything looks okay."
"The empire is stronger, unprecedentedly powerful, ten times stronger than the previous emperors when they were in power! The empire's territory is unprecedentedly vast, the empire's treasury is unprecedentedly enriched, and the empire's army is unprecedentedly large in scale, and can fight well."
"A such a powerful empire makes us full of confidence, but Zhongqiu's bloody case seems to be a blow, awakening me."
"Such a powerful empire, the church, the Saint Shia, the Highland Kingdom, and those damn heresy... They didn't take the empire seriously. For the sake of their interests, they still dared to set off bloody storms in the empire."
"A such a powerful empire, the Ice Sea Kingdom, or the Ice Sea Kingdom of our ally front, they, a little bastard from the Carter family, dared to ignore the power of the empire and break into the empire's territory and kill the loyal warriors of the empire."
"A empire with such a powerful empire, ambitious and ready to do a big fight, the most confidential strategic plan and the most confidential core information will appear in Tulun Port tens of thousands of miles away!"
Margaret III turned his head and looked at Mata XIII deeply: "Dear, is such an empire truly powerful?"
Mata XIII held Margaret III's shoulders hard. He looked at his lover gently and said firmly and forcefully: "Of course we are powerful!"
Margaret III muttered a little willfully: "I am still there. When you are still there, the empire is undoubtedly powerful. But what if I fail this time, I am gone, and you are no longer there? Our children, the group of bastards around our children, can they take over the burden of the empire and keep the empire strong?"
Mata XIII widened his eyes and fell into a long silence.
"You are not sure," Margaret III murmured: "So much confidential information, so much confidential information related to the empire strategy, just silently, without our knowledge, appeared in Tulum Port?"
"If it weren't for the lucky little fat Joe, he had lucky enough to intercept these documents. If these documents fell into the opponent... whether it was San Sia, Nice, or Ice Sea..."
Margaret III shivered and shivered. She looked at Mata XIII and said in a deep voice: "I am not afraid of any internal problems. No internal empire can make a solid piece of iron... What I am afraid of is that we know nothing!"
"What I fear is that the person who does this kind of thing is right next to our heirs, and we know nothing!"
"Simon, Frickel's aide, his close minister. He was suspected of stealing the highest secrets of the empire, and he was suspected of treason."
"Henevey, Friede's lover, his confidant, his capable subordinate. She was suspected of murder and used disgraceful means to obtain the property of the people of the Empire. Oh, now there is another charge to smuggle arms to the damn pirates!"
"Hanks, Marcos, they are also Funky's aides, and they are his capable subordinates... But look at the things they do, is this the imperial nobles supposed to do?"
Margaret III looked at Mata XIII very seriously: "Dear, we are old! Even we will die soon. If our heirs are surrounded by such bad-character bastards; if our empire is full of such little bastards who do whatever they want for their own interests... can the empire be given to them?"
Mata XIII was silent.
After a long time, Mata Thirteenth Emperor said in a deep voice: "I have sent someone to investigate with all my might... from top to bottom, no matter who is involved, I will investigate it to the end."
"Also, my dear, you must not be anxious, you must not be anxious. You must believe our children, Sallyan is very good, right? Sallyan has always been very good, much more outstanding than his father and his brothers."
"Also, look, Viglar is also a good guy. He is also our royal bloodline. He is really a good guy."
"You have to believe in our children, you have to believe in ourselves, you have to believe in yourself!" Mata XIII looked at Margaret III with great gentleness: "You will definitely succeed."
Margaret III curled her lips and looked up at the sky: "I have a few small plans."
Mata XIII smiled and nodded: "Everything is listened to you, my Majesty the Queen!"
In the night, in the streets and alleys of Fort Heidra, groups of inspectors wearing black inspectors, together with the brigade of court guards wearing court knights' costumes, were operating.
With wheels and horse hooves, a large group of people came to the east side of Hydra Palace, the Navy Equipment Department building on five streets. They silently blocked the front and rear gates of the building courtyard, and then quickly controlled the entire building.
It was already night, and there were still many officials working overtime in the Navy Equipment Department building.
In a brightly lit office that occupied half a floor of building, dozens of naval officials were busy under the lights. A large number of forms and books were piled on the desks, and several orderly soldiers ran back and forth with kettles to add espresso to the cups of these busy officials.
The door of the office was pushed open vigorously, and a large group of inspectors and palace guards rushed in.
The naval officers present raised their heads in a daze and looked at the inspectors rushing in at a loss.
A senior inspector took two steps forward and shouted quietly with a blank expression: "Who is the person in charge here?"
Dozens of naval officials looked at the innermost part of the large office, separated by frosted glass. The doors of several individual offices were locked, and there were four offices without lights, and only the one on the left side to the window was on.
With a 'click', the door of the office was opened, and a young man in a lieutenant colonel uniform poked his head out with a gloomy face: "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
In the outside office, a naval officer hurriedly said: "This is Julian, the second-level confidential secretary of our Equipment Department..."
"Lieutenant Colonel Julian, please stop your work and cooperate with our investigation." Several inspectors quickly walked towards Julian: "According to the order of the Queen, during the investigation, you will be restricted from your personal freedom. Please..."
Julian's pretty upright face twisted suddenly. Looking at the inspectors approaching him, he let out a strange hysterical scream, then suddenly opened the door, roared and ran into the floor-to-ceiling window on his right hand.
"Catch him!" Seeing Julian's reaction, everyone present realized that there was a ghost in this guy!
More than a dozen palace guards let out a low wolf roar, and their bodies suddenly turned into translucent shadows and flew away.
Yu Lian smashed the floor-to-ceiling glass and fell into the yard outside with a strange cry.
