Law of the Devil

The wind is like a knife!

After midnight, the empire has entered the first dawn of the 966th year.

But at this moment, on the main street of the imperial capital, a carriage was driving gently. The driver hid his head and ears in his hat, facing the cold dawn wind, vigorously waving his whip.

Mrs. Liszt's face was sinking like water. The carriage was driving on the muddy and bumpy road. There was a small table beside her in the carriage. A glass of warm wine was already cold, but she didn't reach out to grab the glass.

Just now in the duke's mansion, I had a long conversation with Du Wei, at this moment, that sentence, word by word, still ringing in my ears...

"What a big vortex..."

Mrs. Liszt finally came back to her senses, her beautiful face was full of deep worry, she sighed softly, finally stretched out two slender fingers, picked up the wine glass, and drank the cold wine in one gulp, The wine in his mouth was as smooth as his mouth, which seemed to slightly suppress the irritability in his heart.

After a while, finally, the carriage stopped and stopped at the courtyard of the Liszt family in the northwest of the imperial capital. Outside, two white-feathered knights in silver leather armor gently knocked on the door and greeted the beautiful mistress with a respectful gesture. Please get out of the carriage.

"Go... go get Muse to meet me." Mrs. Lister's voice was low.

The servant beside him seemed hesitant: "Madam, it's already dawn, I'm afraid Miss Muse has already fallen asleep..." "Then drag her out of the bed!" Mrs. Liszt snorted and gently gritted his teeth.

After a while, the pair of sisters finally met in the study. Muse didn't fall asleep. When she came, she was wearing a cotton robe, but she looked very sober, but her short hair was a little messy.

Mrs. Lister looked at her sister and dispersed the servants in the room. She stared at her sister for a long time. Whispered: "I just came back from Du Wei...I have already made a marriage contract for you and Gabriel..."

Muse was shocked, and stared at her sister in surprise: "What?"

"I said, I have made a marriage contract for you and Gabriel. You will marry Du Wei's younger brother Gabriel." Mrs. Liszt snorted: "Isn't this what you hoped? Tonight, do you know that you broke into Is it a disaster?"

Muse frowned: "Is there?"

"The little emperor likes you." Mrs. Liszt knew that her sister was careless, and she didn't want to talk to her too much: "You can't marry the emperor. But look at the empire, if you dare to marry you under such circumstances, you still have the strength To marry you, only the Tulip family!"

As she said that, Mrs. Liszt's tone finally softened a little: "You, don't you like that Gabriel too?"

Muse's eyes widened: "Who said I like that kid! Huh, it's okay for him to fight and fight with me, marry him? Sister, what are you kidding?"

"Muse!!!!"

Mrs. Lister suddenly shouted angrily. The voice startled the Muse, the beautiful Marchioness, with suppressed anger. Staring at his sister: "Have you not understood the current situation!! You...you are confused!!"

Mrs. Liszt took a few steps in the room, flicked her sleeves irritably, and gritted her teeth: "I wouldn't be in such a hurry to settle this matter! But tonight...tonight at the banquet, you first He rejected His Majesty's invitation to dance first, and then accepted Gabriel's invitation to dance..."

"But it's not a big deal. You know I can't dance, and I don't like to dance." Muse curled her lips: "Later, that guy Gabriel pestered me with a face - I didn't want to agree, but you Didn't you tell me before that you want me to be more polite to Du Wei and his younger brother, and not to offend them? I also followed your instructions. I barely gave that kid some face."

Mrs. Liszt was so angry that she almost raised her palm and slapped it, but she finally suppressed her anger: "You...you...stupid!!"

She laughed angrily: "When can't you give me face! You just want to reject the emperor first at this banquet, and then accept Gabriel?"

"It's just a dance, this kind of party society. It's not a big deal."

Mrs. Liszt looked at this still stubborn sister, and finally sat down weakly, leaned on a chair, and sighed: "You still don't understand... If someone like Prince Chen, maybe he wouldn't care about losing Such a small saving grace. As you say. It's not a big deal. But that man is... Charlie!"

Saying that, she closed her eyes. Shaking his head and smiling wryly: "I ascended the throne at the age of twelve, and still wore the halo of the Emperor of Destiny... Muse, I told you a long time ago that in our family, the three women will be surrounded by this pack of wolves!" How difficult it is to survive in the imperial capital!! When I returned to the imperial capital this time, I have already spent countless thoughts on inquiring and investigating who are worthy of advice among the dignitaries in the imperial capital! And this little emperor is my The top priority of the investigation! Do you know what kind of person this little Charlie is?"

Muse shook her head: "I don't know, isn't it just a twelve-year-old child?"

Mrs. Liszt smiled bitterly: "A twelve-year-old child... Huh, he is a twelve-year-old emperor! He is young and vigorous, and everyone in the imperial capital's dignitaries praises his youth and wisdom, and I investigated Afterwards, he was indeed very smart on weekdays, but he was a bit too sharp! Last year's Harvest Festival was the first time he made his mark, and he dared to stand in front of everyone, including His Majesty the Pope, at the banquet. Publicly reprimand the head of the Holy Knights of the Temple! What kind of person is this? Show your sharpness, show your sharpness! One word is bad... is one..."

As she spoke, Mrs. Liszt gritted her teeth, with an uncertain expression on her face, and slowly said this sentence:

"It's a good thing to be vigorous! Huh, I carefully recalled the incident when he scolded the temple during the Fengfeng Festival. In that incident, everyone outside praised how young and smart this kid was, and how arrogant he was... But in In my opinion, this is exactly a kind of great stupidity! What is the relationship between the temple and the royal family? How many times have the two sides fought for thousands of years? To reprimand the temple, overwhelm the church, and make the church lose face... Does the regent not want to do this? Do it?

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't! !

But what about the little emperor? Young and energetic, just do it! Seemingly smart. Actually reckless! There is no way to hide and hide! He is the person in charge of the future empire, and now that the regent is supporting the overall situation, he should hide himself well and hide himself under the umbrella of the regent! At this time, the more low-key the better! There are open guns and dark arrows outside. Naturally, the Regent will go to the top! What do you want him to do as a child? ? .

Hmph, are you afraid that the church will not know that the next generation of emperors will have great hostility towards the church? ?

That's good, he hasn't formally taken power, I'm afraid the church has already started to pay attention to him! Obviously he can hide behind, but he still wants to throw himself in front of the stage... Is this smart?

From my point of view, this little emperor has some cleverness, but no great wisdom! ! "

What these words said blatantly belittled His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire behind his back. It can be described as extremely rebellious.

But if Du Wei heard Mrs. Liszt's remarks from the side, he might have to applaud her, just because of these words. It's really penetrating. The mistress of the Liszt family, with a woman's body, can stand tall and powerful in the empire for many years, she is really very smart!

She never got along with little Charlie day and night, and only based on the investigation and analysis of one or two things in the past, she unexpectedly analyzed the little emperor's temper and demeanor at once! !

Every sentence of these words is reasonable, and every word is heart-wrenching! If it is not a person with real intelligence and wisdom, it is absolutely impossible to analyze it.

Sure enough, as Mrs. Liszt said, this little emperor. Small cleverness is there, but it lacks great wisdom!

Young but too sharp, don't know how to hide clumsiness, if it's in an ordinary rich and powerful family, it's fine, but in the royal family. He is still the heir to the throne... If these defects cannot be improved in the future, they will definitely become his Achilles' heel!

Muse was stunned. She couldn't help being stunned when she heard her sister utter such an astonishing remark tonight.

"Don't you understand my painstaking efforts?" Mrs. Liszt waved her hand and attended the banquet tonight. Dinner party for one night. Later, he ran to see Du Wei and had a long talk all night. She was already extremely exhausted, and she still had to cheer up at this moment, pointing out her younger sister, which really made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

She finally took Muse's hand, and said softly: "Listen up, Muse. In my opinion, this little Charlie is definitely not a man of great magnanimity. With his previous behavior style, he is very concerned about tonight. Most likely, it is impossible to just laugh it off! Moreover, he is so arrogant and ascended the throne at a young age, I am afraid that he cannot tolerate other people's rebellion in his heart. If he cannot get something for a while, I am afraid On the contrary, it will arouse his greater interest! And if..."

Speaking of this, her face became more worried, and her face was a little pale: "If not only can't get it, but someone next to him is robbing him... I'm afraid the situation will be worse, but it will completely arouse his desire to fight! With him The emperor's honorable status, if he is really determined to get something...I'm afraid...it will not be a blessing for you or our family!"

This beautiful lady really sees things between men and women too clearly!

As the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and stealing is worse than not being able to steal!

This is the essence!

So... What is it that can arouse a man's possessive desire more than not being able to steal it?

I can't even grab it!

If you can't even snatch it, it will simply make a man lose his appetite and sleep at night! !

What's more, he is a small-minded, young and energetic little emperor who stands out everywhere, afraid that others will not know that he is very smart and powerful little emperor? ?

Muse's face was also pale. Although she couldn't comprehend all the content of her sister's words for a while, she deeply understood since she was a child that her sister is extremely smart. Since she said these words, I'm afraid they are all true!

On Muse's pale face, after struggling, she finally raised her head and looked at Mrs. Liszt with a deep apology in her tone, but she gritted her teeth and shook her head resolutely!

"No, sister, I'm not marrying that Gabriel!"

"Why, why!" Mrs. Lister's first reaction was to slap the table.

"I don't like him! I don't want to marry a man I don't like." Muse resolutely resisted.

Mrs. Liszt didn't yell at her sister. She looked at her sister's firm brows, but suddenly her heart softened. She suddenly remembered how many years ago, on that night, she tried to resist like Muse now, and she didn't want to marry her. The later husband...

"Muse, I'm a widow." Mrs. Liszt suddenly said softly, the softness in this voice shocked Muse, who was used to seeing her sister's strong side, in her heart.

"Back then... when I married your dead brother-in-law, did you think that I really loved him at that time?" Mrs. Liszt's smile seemed to be filled with a trace of sadness, the smile and the taste at the corner of her mouth, but I don't know how many years of bitterness can be brewed.

"Many times, we women have no choice in this world!"

Muse stared fixedly at her sister, her eyes were full of pain, although her heart was soft at the moment, but when she thought of marrying that person...

Suddenly, a trace of strong resistance emerged in her heart, sweeping away her slightly softened mind in an instant.

"I won't marry him!!"

With a roar, Muse turned his face and rushed out of the door, and left quickly.

Mrs. Liszt sat there fixedly, staring blankly at the wide open door, letting the cold wind blow in.

The wind is like a knife!

"It's really... such a big whirlpool." The beautiful woman shook her head lightly, with a wry smile on her face. .
