There was a turmoil in the imperial capital, and even ordinary civilians felt that something was wrong with the love money in the imperial capital in the past few days.
A large number of soldiers of the Central Cavalry Regiment took to the streets, replacing the soldiers of the former Imperial Capital Security Office, and they patrolled the streets in full armor.
The royal guards in charge of the palace guard also looked like they were facing a great enemy, almost all of the 50,000 royal guards were mobilized, patrolling back and forth on the walls of the palace, and the palace gate was several times more heavily guarded than before The entrance and exit checks of the imperial capital were much stricter than in the past, and the people who entered and exited, whether civilians or nobles, were strictly inspected, and these actions have fully demonstrated that the current situation is somewhat wrong.
The high-ranking nobles of the empire all learned the news that His Majesty the Emperor was critically ill, and then the palace officially announced the news that His Majesty the Empress was pregnant with a prince Even some people with dull brains, after getting the news that His Royal Highness Prince Balang suddenly returned to the imperial capital from outside the city, also understood that when he came back at this time, he naturally wanted to compete for the throne Nicole almost lived in the palace, and stayed by Her Majesty's side every day, and from the bottom of her heart, she didn't like this very much.
It's not always a pleasant thing to face a woman who is a little out of control.
But Nicole could understand the queen's mood at this time, she was in an extremely flustered, melancholy, and frightened mood The only person the queen can rely on at the moment is the Tulip family, in fact, Nicole is now almost so sad that she can't eat every day.
Gordon sent in one message after another: Prince Barang has returned to the city The commander of the Central Cavalry Corps, General Bayi, was in contact with Prince Balang There was unusual movement in the barracks of the Central Cavalry Corps, and the army was gathering The Carolingian Marquis was in contact with Prince Baran The Northern Corps began an unusual build-up Every time Nicole heard a piece of news, her heart became a little more sorrowful.
According to common sense, the Marquis of Caroline and the Lionheart family are both confidants of His Majesty the Emperor, and they have always been at odds with Prince Barang at such moments, and the most able force to win over is the Marquis Caroline.
But for two reasons, the road is firmly blocked The discord between the Lionheart family and the Tulip family is well known, and now that the queen relies on herself, it is almost impossible to win over the Lionheart family anymore, and the Lionheart family will definitely not stand on the same front as Tulip.
Of course, there are no eternal enemies in politics, and Nicole certainly understands this.
But now the Marquis of Carolinge absolutely understands in his heart that at this moment, it is the child in the belly of Prince Barang and the Empress who is fighting for the throne, and whoever succeeds is the emperor, and now, the Marquis of Carolinge is facing the problem of position.
If the new emperor is successful, then the Lionhearts will be the greatest contributor to the new emperor's succession This is a great opportunity for the Carolingian Marquis who is bent on overshadowing Tulips as the first family of the Empire Moreover, from the current situation, Prince Barang naturally has a better chance of winning than an unborn baby The Carolingian Marques, though loyal to Abbasid XI, was no fool And another reason is that the child in the queen's womb is not His Majesty the Emperor at all What reassures Nicole a little is that the Royal Guard is still loyal to the royal family, especially the Gordon Commander who almost did not hesitate to be loyal to his side And the Imperial Military Command has also clearly rejected Prince Barang's contact, and those old generals of the empire have declared that they have maintained neutrality, and everything will wait for His Majesty the Emperor's condition to improve, and then God knows if the Emperor still has any hope of waking up Nicole believed in her heart that once things changed drastically and she was in the appeal of the Tulip family, the Imperial Command would not hesitate to support her side But there's a ridiculous problem with that How much strength does the current Imperial High Command still have In order to reduce the influence of the Tulip family, His Majesty the Emperor has weakened the strength of the imperial command in many ways, the four major armies of the empire, the northern legion handed over to the Caroline Marquis of the Lionheart family, the central cavalry corps is in the hands of the royal nobleman General Bayi, among which the original northern legion was loyal to Abbasid XI, at least Abbasid XI himself thinks so, but now in fact, the northern legion has become a bargaining chip in the hands of the Carolingian Marquis, and there is no doubt that now they have fallen to Prince Balang And General Bayi of the Central Cavalry Regiment is already close to Prince Balang, and now he can't count on it At present, only the commander of the Northwest Army, General Eliho, is from the traditional forces of the imperial military and belongs to the command.
Naturally, he can be counted on to support it, but the Northwest Rochenthal looks at the wolf, can the Northwest Army be mobilized back, not to mention that after the Northwest War, the Northwest Army was almost disabled, and how much strength was left The Southern Army is also a traditional force belonging to the military of the High Command, and at this moment Roddy is heading to the south, but there is no news so far The Northern Army has begun to assemble, although there is no next move yet, but God knows when, the army will go south and arrive under the imperial capital Nicole sighed, trying to sweep the sorrow away from her mind, keeping a calm expression on her face.
She knew in her heart that she was almost the backbone of her own side now.
Her Majesty also relies on herself to support her, but deep down, Nicole is always a little uneasy in her heart Is it really right to do this after all, the child in the queen's womb is Seth, not the royal blood, but Prince Balang is the orthodox descendant of the royal family, and his own side seems to be plotting for imperial power "Seth, Sette, is this your conspiracy, although you are gone, but you are still firmly in control of the development of things according to your plan, you have tied everyone to your chariot" Nicole's eyes flashed with hesitation and she sighed.
Only, is that really the case?
aass45092918226； The soldiers in charge of guarding the gates of the imperial capital have all been replaced by the people of the Central Cavalry Legion.
A group of soldiers wearing the uniform of "Thor's Whip" took control of the four gates of the imperial capital, strictly checked the pedestrians who came and went, and according to the will of Prince Balang, they simply closed the city gates and forbade them to enter and exit.
But at the suggestion of the Marquis Caroline, he finally dismissed the idea.
After all, there is no coup d'état yet, let alone a rebellion.
His Majesty the Emperor has not died yet, and if he really ordered the city gate to be closed, it would have given the opponent a pretext In the afternoon of this day, on a large road at the south gate of the imperial capital, more than a dozen horses were walking slowly, first of all a fat man with a bloated body, and on a horse behind him, was a young man with a pale face, but his eyebrows were a little depressed, and he looked depressed.
Behind them were a dozen people with indifferent expressions, each with a cold gaze and a calm expression.
The fat man looked at the city wall in the distance, turned back to the young man on the horse behind him and shouted: "Little bat, that's the imperial capital, we're almost there, why are you still so depressed?"
The young man behind him smiled bitterly: "You are naturally relaxed, but after all, I am alas, I have done so many things for you, which is equivalent to betraying Lord Simang, if you are caught, hum, do you know the means of our blood clan to punish traitors?"
The fat man raised his eyebrows and shouted: "I'll see which one dares you are now Lao Tzu's follower, and who dares to touch you" Then he looked at the city wall in the distance, and said with a grin: "I don't know what that kid Roddy is doing now, is it that Miss Nicole who hugged him and kissed me, alas, this kid looks honest, but he is also very popular."
A few days ago, she sent me a girl, but it annoyed me to death, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's glaring and anger, and taking that woman on the road, I don't know when I will be able to reach the imperial capital."
Speaking of this, the fat man turned back to the young man and shouted, "I ask you that Duck boy, when will the injuries on his body heal?"
The young man rolled his eyes and said, "There are still seventeen or eighteen days." ” The fat man breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I hope Duck will be sick for a few more days, so that I can drag those two troublesome women for a while."
Immediately, he looked at the imperial capital city wall in front of him, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the palace is really so interesting, if that emperor dares to touch Luo Di boy, Lao Tzu will really set his palace on fireworks, hahaha, take a dozen blood clans to make trouble in the palace, it must be a very interesting thing."
The young man behind him couldn't help but stab him: "There is an imperial warlock association in the imperial capital, as well as a religious institute of the Divine Cult, and the Pope is also in the imperial capital, if you dare to make a fuss, most of them are looking for death." ” The fat man snorted coldly: "What warlock association, a group of warlocks, Lao Tzu will see that there is still that Pope in his eyes, it's a big deal to burn down his god religion It's not a big deal but you, you have been talking a lot in the past two days, are your bones a little loose again?"
The young man immediately shuddered, and immediately squeezed out a little smile: "How dare I Lord Tianlie, you are the sun in the sky, and I am a little firefly, how dare I compete with the sun and the moon."
Tianlie was in a happy mood, and was about to laugh twice, when he heard a person suddenly jump out of the roadside.
The man was wearing a suit of clothes that he didn't know where he had stolen, the sleeves of his trousers seemed to be put together like they were put together, his face was even more crooked, his hands and feet were of different sizes, and his legs looked almost one long and one short.
This man came to the middle of the road and shouted, "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to live that from now on" He rolled his eyes and immediately stopped: "Leave a horse behind." silent Immediately, Tianlie suddenly burst into a burst of laughter, laughing so much that he almost fell off his horse.
The young man on the horse behind him also laughed wildly, and looked at the guy standing in the middle of the road with a look of pity in his eyes The person in the middle of the road, looking at Tianlie laughing wildly, was not angry, he stood there calmly, and waited for Tianlie's laughter to gradually stop, and then said slowly: "Laughing at my old man and you want a horse, isn't it ridiculous?"
Tianlie raised his eyebrows, and the young man behind him immediately flew up, stretched out a paw and grabbed at the man Hearing a scream, the young man flew out and hung himself on a tree by the side of the road "Hmm" Tianlie's eyes lit up, with a strange expression on his face, staring at this guy standing in the middle of the road, and couldn't help but say, "You are a thief, but you have some skills."
The man pursed his lips, grinned, and said, "Then you give me a horse and let me go on the road with you." ” Tianlie's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but smile: "What did you say?"
The man sighed and said loudly: "Now that the gate of the imperial capital is heavily guarded, I don't have the ability to fly around in broad daylight, and most of them don't let me enter the city, so I have to ask you for a favor." ” After speaking, the man sat down on the ground with a big grin, and the posture seemed to mean: "If you don't agree, I won't give way."
Tianlie rubbed his nose vigorously, and scolded with a smile: "You guy, I see that your ability is not small, there are people blocking the city gate, just break in directly, or fly in from above, I'm afraid it's not very difficult."
The man's eyes rolled, as if he was looking at Tianlie like an idiot, and said in a strange manner: "Don't you know that the imperial capital is now much stricter than before, it is said that a few days ago, there were vampires in the imperial capital, and now a large number of warlocks have been sent to patrol the city in the religious institute of the Divine Cult, and you just flew into the sky, and seven or eight warlocks surrounded it, and it is not difficult to enter the city, but it turns the world upside down, what else can I do?"
After saying this, he whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Could it be that the powerhouses in the realm are so brainless?"
Tianlie's eyes widened: "What did you say" The man grinned and said, "You guy, you borrow me a horse and let me follow you into the city, it will be good for you and me."
Tianlie rolled his eyes, looked at the person in front of him, his curiosity became heavier and heavier, and his hands were itchy, so he wanted to go up and beat him up and beat him up The thief who dared to rob the master of Tianlie, is there still a life But looking at this guy's mysterious and strange appearance, he couldn't help but feel curiosity in his heart again, and Tianlie's curiosity is the heaviest, which is almost his biggest flaw.
"Okay" In the end, the fat man gritted his teeth and waved his big hand: "Give you a horse, you go into the city with us, I want to see what tricks you make, the more weird things, Lao Tzu, I'm interested" Hearing this, the man on the ground grinned, jumped up, and sat on the young man's horse.
Then Tianlie shouted to the young man hanging on the tree: "Little bat, if you are not dead, hurry up and catch up, if you are late, be careful Lao Tzu will take care of you."

After saying this, he rode his horse and led the way towards the imperial capital.
Behind him sat the strange man on the horse.
The man seemed to sigh: "Alas, this is interesting, a fat man with a bit of a strange brain, but he is a strong man in the field, I don't know what kind of trouble I want to make in the imperial capital, oh, Roddy boy, why don't you show up, my old man will give you a surprise." ` Mr.
Qiu stood outside the main hall, quietly looking at the clouds in the sky.
His face was calm, but his heart was indeed turbulent, and he almost didn't dare to see the queen again in the past few days, and every time he saw the queen's resentful gaze, his originally calm heart immediately became confused Nicole didn't know when she came behind him, and she sighed under her breath as she looked at Mr.
Qiu's back.
Mr.
Qiu suddenly turned around and smiled, "Miss Nicole, what are you sighing about?"
Nicole's coquettish face showed a trace of sadness, and she said in a low voice: "Mr.
Qiu, I know that you are very bitter in your heart, and you are driving Seth away for the good of Her Majesty, but you must understand that Her Majesty does not really hate you, it's just that when a woman falls in love, there is no reason to talk about it." ” Mr.
Qiu shook his head and said lightly: "I know, I know all this."
I'm not upset about her, I'm doing it for myself. ” "Yourself" "Yes."
Mr.
Qiu looked at the sky with a bitter smile on his face: "I'm laughing at myself.
I have broken the way of the sword, reached the extreme control of martial arts, I have reached the realm that others dream of, the world is so big, where I can't go, but I am still waiting in the palace for her, don't you think I am very sad alone, even if I have the strength of a peerless powerhouse, then how can the human heart be fragile.
You can control everything in the world, but you can't control your own mind. ” Nicole was silent, looking at the sky with Mr.
Qiu's gaze, a helpless expression on her face.
She thought about her current situation again, and whether things would really go on step by step according to Seth's plan At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance behind him, and Gordon strode over, dressed in armor and fully armed, and saw Miss Nicole, and said loudly: "Miss, His Majesty the Pope is here, and he asks to see Her Majesty the Empress."
"Your Majesty," Nicole frowned.
What is he doing here, could it be that the Divine Cult, which has always stayed out of the struggle for imperial power, will also be involved?
She glanced at Mr.
Qiu, did not speak, and immediately left with Gordon.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Mr.
Qiu's mouth He suddenly remembered the words before Seth disappeared: "Mr.
Qiu, I remind you that the Pope has known your secret for a long time" Sighing, Mr.
Qiu smiled bitterly: "Do you already know, did I hide my strength for so long, and I didn't dare to be noticed, and finally he found out":
